For such a nature loving person, it was especially exciting when it came down to talking about nature. It almost went to the point of over-enthusiasm.
If he saw this world, there would be no telling how excited he would be, or how deep or passionate the discussion would be like.
Momonga who really wanted to hear the profound knowledge of his old friend, Blue Planet, whom he missed greatly. He slightly turned to his side.
Of course there was no one next to him. It was impossible.
Momonga heard the sound of flapping wings, and the changing shape of Demiurge entered his eyes.
From his back was a pair of wet looking, black wings. His face also went from human to a frog like face. This was Demiurge’s half demon form.
Some of the heteromorphic races classes can transform into several different forms. In Nazarick, both Sebas and Albedo have different forms.
Although it was troublesome to learn these unusual racial forms, they had been popular for a long time because one could be like a final boss with several forms from different heteromorphic races. A lot of people liked these unusual races, but having settings like pure human or half human had some weaknesses, while playing as a heteromorphic race gave special abilities.
Momonga looked away from the transformed Demiurge and back to the stars in the sky, like speaking to friends who were not here Momonga sighed:
“…. Even just relying on the moon and the stars I can see the scenery…. Its hard to believe this is really the real world. Blue Planet-san…. The sky is really shining like a jewelry box.”
“Perhaps that is so. This world’s beauty must surely be precious stones created just for the sake of decorating Momon — Black Knight-sama.”
Demiurge gave out words of flattery.
The sudden speech seemed to have come from his partner’s strange delusions, made Momonga feel a little angry. However looking at a scenery like this, the anger soon disappeared.
Moreover, after looking down on the world he felt as if it was very small. In his heart he started to think that continuing to act like an evil Overlord was a pretty good idea.
“It is truly beautiful. These stars were meant to decorate me eh… Perhaps it is so. I will leave my body here, in order to obtain this jewel box that belongs to no one.”
Momonga extended his hand in front of him and clenched his fist. The stars in the sky seemed to fall into his hand. Of course, it was because the stars were being blocked by his hand. Momonga shrugged at his childish behavior, turned towards Demiurge and said:
“…. No, this isn’t something that I alone should have. Perhaps it should be used to decorate the Great Tomb of Nazarick — the Ainz Ooal Gown of me and my friends.”
“…A truly aweinspiring speech. If you wish, I will immediately bring the armies of Nazarick and take this jewel box. Presenting this gift to my beloved Momonga-sama, would be Demiurge’s greatest honor.”
Towards Demiurge’s grand act, Momonga softly smiled.
Thinking about whether Demiurge is also immersed in this atmosphere.
“For now we do not know what kinds of creatures live in this world, so I can only point out the fallacy of your idea. Our presence here is extremely small. However, conquering the world is a very interesting idea.”
Conquering the world would be something only the bad guys who appear in children’s television shows would say.
In fact, it wouldn’t be easy to conquer the world. Problems would also arise if one does conquer the world, since law and order had to be maintained to prevent rebellion, there had to be unity between the countries and so on. Just by thinking about some of these things, the idea of actually conquering the world would quickly lose its appeal.
Although Momonga was fully aware of these things, he still spoke about of wanting to conquer the world. Because after seeing the beauty of this world, his childish desires were triggered by it. Also, because of having to maintain his act of the leader of the notorious Ainz Ooal Gown, he accidentally let out some childish lines
In addition, there was another reason.
“…. Urbet-san, Luci★Fer-san, Variable Talisman-san, Beruriba-san….”
More than once he remembered jokingly saying to his guild members “together we will conquer the world of Yggdrasil”.
He knew that Demiurge was the smartest person in Nazarick, so he should understand that the talk about conquering the world was just some childish nonsense.
Had Momonga known what kind of expression the frog-faced Demiurge was making, the conversation wouldn’t have ended there.
Momonga did not look at Demiurge, just staring at the horizon where the earth met the sky.
“…. An unknown world. But in this world… Is there only me? Did the other guild members also come here?”
Although it was impossible to create a second character in YGGDRASIL, for those who had already left the game it was possible to create a new character just to come back for the last day. It was also possible that Meromero had returned during the moment the server was supposed to shut down.
In conclusion, Momonga living here was an abnormal situation. If this was caused by some unknown phenomenon, then others who were still playing the game could have been stranded in this world, just like him.
Although he could not contact them using 「Message」, it could be due to many other factors. For example, being on a different continent, or some kind of magical effect.
“…. If its like this…. If I let the whole world know about the name Ainz Ooal Gown…”
If there were any of his companions around, they might hear about it. And they would surely come. Momonga was convinced about the friendship between them.
Immersed in his thoughts, Momonga suddenly turned to look at Nazarick, and was met with an impressive sight.
The ground around about one hundred meters of Nazarick were generating huge wave of soils similar to ocean waves. The plains slowly began to grown into little bulges and moved slowly in a certain direction. They began to gather togethers, finally becoming a small hill closing in on Nazarick.
The mounds of soil pounded against the walls of Nazarick, crushing them, like waves of a tsunami hitting from all directions.
“…「Land of Waves」. Looks like he’s not only using his technical skills, but to also his class skills to increase the area of effect…”
Momonga admired quietly. In Nazarick, there was only one person capable of such magic.
As expected of Mare. Looks like leaving the task of hiding the walls to him was a good choice after all.
“Yes, in addition to Mare, the tireless undead tired and Golems are also helping. But the progress is too slow and not good enough. After moving the earth there will be many depressions where plants would have to be placed in order to hide them. This will further increase Mare’s workload…”
“…. Hiding the walls of Nazarick should take a very long time, the problem is whether or not we will be discovered during the construction. How is the security situation around here?”
“The beginning stages of the early warning systems have already completed. If there are any intelligent biological invasions, we would know immediately while keeping the intruder unaware of the situation.”
