All the Guardians bowed their heads down in understanding.
“Final y, There is something I want to ask all all the Guardians. First Sharutia, What kind of
person do you believe me to be?”
“A beautiful crystal. You are the world’s most beautiful being. Even precious gems can not be
compared to your pale white body.”
“Without hesitation, Sharutia responded. From the way she answered, it could been seen as her
true feelings.”
“——Cocytus.”
“More powerful and stronger than any Guardians. Supreme ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick”
“—— Aura.”
“A thoughtful and compassionate person.”
“—— Mare.”
“A-, A very gentle person.”
“Demiurge.”
“Both wise in judgments and quick in acting. A flawless being.”
“—— Sebastian.”
“The person responsible for gathering us all. Compassionate and refused to abandon us until
the very end, in order to stay behind and fight alongside us.”
“Final y Albedo.”
“The absolute ruler of us all, our greatest master and also my most loved person. “
“....... So its like that. I clearly understand everyone’s thinking. The responsibilities that were
given to my previous companions are now all given to you to handle. In the future, please be
dedicated to your duties.”
Seeing the Guardians bow their heads, Momonga uses teleportation to leave the arena.
Instantly the view changed from the front row of the arena to a magical array being maintained
by golems. Looking around, making sure no one besides the Golems maintaining it was around,
Momonga lets out a sigh.
“So tiring…”
Although his body was not tired, the stress to his heart felt like a huge load on his shoulders.
“..... Those guys…. Why do they evaluate me so highly?”
Surely it must be a different person. After hearing what the Guardians thought of him, it seemed
like they were just making fun of him. “Hahaha” Momonga laughed as he shook his head. From
the way they looked, it felt like they were completely serious.
In other words, those were their true feelings.
However, if the situation was not as much as an emergency as the Guardians thought, they
might be disappointed. The thought of it gave Momonga more and more stress. Not to mention
there is another problem, to which Momonga made a rather bitter expression.
Although his skull is unable to show any expressions, it still feels like some changes occurred.
“.... How should I treat Albedo…If this goes on, I wil be to ashamed to face Tabula Smaragdina-
san.”
Interlude
The pressure that almost pushed their head into the ground, suddenly disappeared without a
trance. Even though everyone knew that master they needed to worship had already left,
nobody stood up. After a while, someone let out a sigh of relief, and the tension was finally
released. The first one to stand up was Albedo and although her white dress had dirt on it, she
did not pay it any mind and just dusted it off. After seeing Albedo standing up, everyone silently
followed suit.
“Si-, Sister, that was scary..”
“Yeah, I thought I would be crushed”
“As expected of Momonga-sama, even towards us Guardians, he would have such a huge
effect.”
“Although I knew he’s a supreme being and was stronger than all of us, I did not expect it to be
to this extent.”
The Guardians all started talking about Momonga’s impression.
The pressure that all the Guardians felt was actually the aura Momonga was emitting.
Desperation aura. In addition to the Terror effect, it is also able to reduce the stats of a player.
Normally it should not affect level 100 NPCs, but due to the blessing received inside Ainz Ooal
Gown, the effect became even stronger.
“That is Momonga-sama displaying his true ability as a ruler.”
“Yeah, before we announced ourselves Momonga-sama did not reveal his true abilities, but
once we assumed our roles as guardians, he displayed just a fraction of his true powers.”
“In response to our loyalty, Momonga-sama wil show a true ruler’s strength.”
“Indeed.”
“When he was together with us, he did not let out his aura. Momonga-sama is really thoughtful,
when he saw that we were thirsty, he took out something for us to drink.”
Because of Aura's words, a sudden tension fills the room. Albedo was the most affected, her
hands constantly trembling, feeling as if her nails would split her gloves.
Slightly shaking, Mare widened his eyes:
“Th-, that is the true strength of the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, truly amazing!”
The atmosphere of the room instantly changed.
“Absolutely correct. Responding to our thoughts and showing his power as a ruler… As
expected of our creator. Standing at the top of the 41 Creators, but also to be the only one to
stay until the end, our compassionate master.”
Listening to Albedo’s speech, all the guardians showed expressions of worship. While Mare just
had a look of relief on his face.
CoCayn: Mare the bullet dodger
Nothing would be able to make them happier than witnessing the true power of the 41 creators
who created them and who they swore to serve with absolute loyalty.
Not just the Guardians, but any creature that was created by a superior being, their greatest joy
would be to assist their creator, then finally receive his honest recognition.
It is a fundamental truth.
To those whose original purpose was to serve their creator, this could not make them more
happy. Breaking the pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, Sebastian spoke:
“Then I wil take my leave, although I do not know where Momonga-sama has went, it is only
natural that I go to his side.”
Even though Albedo showed an expression of envy, she suppressed that emotion and
answered:
“Of course Sebastian. Serve Momonga-sama properly and do not disrespect him. If any
situation arises come back and report to me. Especially if Momonga-sama calls for me, drop
any other matters and immediately report back to me!——”
Hearing those words, Demiurge showed a troubled expression.
“... If Momonga-sama wishes to summon me to the bedroom, please tell him that I require a bit
of time to properly prepare myself. However, it is also fine if he wants me to immediately
proceed to his room. My body is always kept in perfect condition and I always selected the best
of clothes, so as to respond quickly to Momonga-sama’s calls. In short, I place Momonga-
sama’s summons as a top priority——”
TL note: I know what this looks like, but this is said by Albedo, Demiurge is NOT saying this. Don’t go fanfic me!
“──── I understand, Albedo. However I must take my leave, wasting anymore time here would
be rude to Momonga-sama. Therefore to the rest of the Guardians, I wil take my leave.”
Having said that, Sebastian took quick steps and left the Arena, leaving before Albedo could say
anything else.
“Anyways… It sure is quiet. What happened to you Sharutia?”
Hearing Demiurge, the rest of the Guardians look at Sharutia, only to realise her still kneeling on
the floor.
“What’s wrong, Sharutia?”
Sharutia slowly lifted her head in response.
