In the dimly lit hall, the two scarlet lights in Momonga's empty eye sockets were fixed intently on Lu Minghao below. Whether it was the suddenly disappearing player interface or the NPCs who seemed to have come to life, everything made Momonga want to know what was happening.
"In short, the current situation is that you, Suzuki Satoru, have transmigrated to another world using your in-game identity. Furthermore, after arriving in this world, all the NPCs are no longer mere AIs but intelligent beings with their own memories, personalities, and souls. By the way, the settings you once gave them have now become their abilities and memories."
Below, facing the Bone King's inquiry, Lu Minghao told him without hesitation about his transmigration to this world with everything from the game. After all, such basic information couldn't be hidden even if Lu Minghao wanted to.
After all, as long as the Bone King went outside the Great Tomb of Nazarick and noticed the changed environment, as well as the world and characters completely different from those in the game, he would understand the changes that had happened to him.
"So that's how it is..."
Momonga raised his sharp, skeletal fingers and gently tapped the railing of the throne, the scarlet light in his eyes flickering constantly. Although he had some premonition about this from the scent and pulse on Albedo's body, and a series of other situations.
But now, truly knowing that he had transmigrated to another world, and also brought everything from the game, Momonga's heart couldn't help but become somewhat complicated.
Regarding another world, having lost his parents and being an orphan since childhood, he had no attachment whatsoever. The only things he cared about were the companions who had built the Great Tomb of Nazarick with him.
"Then what about you? When did you come to this world?"
The next second, Momonga raised his head and looked at Lu Minghao opposite him, inquiring because he suddenly thought that since he could come to this world, and Lu Minghao had also come besides him, wouldn't his former companions...
"Me? I probably came to this world half a month ago, and not long ago I sensed abnormal spatial fluctuations here, so I rushed over. The rest is that I met you here."
As he spoke, Lu Minghao spread out his hands, revealing a helpless look, as if he really was a player who had suddenly transmigrated from the game to this world like the Bone King, but in reality, he was just lying through his teeth.
All for the sake of achieving his own goals. After all, in this world, if there was anyone who had a chance to stop his plan to devour the world, then besides the Bone King, who was fighting bravely with the air, and the guardians of the various floors under his command, Lu Minghao couldn't think of anyone else.
For this reason, Lu Minghao decided to first try to infiltrate the enemy and become one of them. In this way, the Bone King and the floor guardians who could ultimately stop him would all become his own people, then this world could also be declared to be waiting to become Lu Minghao's shape.
Of course, even if the joining failed, at least currently there was no conflict of interest between Lu Minghao and the Bone King for the time being. Then, as long as enough time allowed Lu Minghao's power to erode a sufficient area, then it would be too late even if they wanted to stop it at that time.
To sum it up, no matter what Lu Minghao did, he wouldn't lose out.
By the way, Lu Minghao was also very interested in the mechanism of the Bone King and the Great Tomb of Nazarick's transmigration to another world. In the final part of the plan, if everything went smoothly, Lu Minghao also planned to capture the Bone King and the floor guardians to analyze and study them.
As for after the research was completed, he would let them become a part of himself. By the way, Lu Minghao also wanted to know what kind of skills and talents he would gain after devouring the Bone King and the floor guardians.
"So, my companions might also be in some corner of this world?"
Opposite him, Momonga at this time had no idea that Lu Minghao opposite him had already set his sights on himself and the floor guardians, and even arranged their retreat. Now, the thing Momonga cared about most was where his former companions who had built the Great Tomb of Nazarick together were.
"That's something you need to determine for yourself."
Lu Minghao looked at Momonga, who had a thoughtful expression, and said with a light smile. Lu Minghao didn't care what the Bone King wanted to do, and even hoped that the entire world would become more chaotic, because only in chaos and disorder could his forbidden knowledge, which recorded his information, spread rapidly.
After all, chaos and disorder meant that people would spare no expense for the sake of power and survival. In that situation, the power that could be easily obtained by relying on forbidden knowledge would be frantically pursued by all life.
And in this way, Lu Minghao's plan progress would also be rapidly improved. Of course, the premise was that the Bone King shouldn't oppose Lu Minghao, but this was also the place Lu Minghao was least worried about.
After all, as time went on, the remaining humanity of the Bone King would gradually disappear under the influence of the body of the Supreme Undead. In the later stage, he would become the existence who regarded humans as two-legged sheep. Even if the Bone King still wanted to rule the entire world as in the original work in the future.
Then Lu Minghao would also raise both hands in approval. After all, although the goals of both sides sounded similar, they were completely different. What the Bone King wanted was to rule the entire world, and what Lu Minghao needed was the world itself.
Before Lu Minghao completely exposed his purpose, there was no conflict of interest between him and the Bone King.
"Then, what is your purpose?"
At this time, a gloomy, low voice came from the shadows behind Lu Minghao. Immediately afterward, a man wearing a red suit and tie, with a pair of small glasses on his face and an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, walked out, with a flat, scaly tail constantly swaying behind him.
"Demiurge, why are you here?"
Before Lu Minghao could speak, Momonga on the throne raised his head and looked at Demiurge who was walking over, asking. He knew that he was the guardian of the seventh floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and shouldn't be appearing here at this time.
"Momonga-sama, we have arrived!"
Just then, a violent roar came from the passage in the distance, followed by a large number of monsters pouring out from it like a tide. At the front of the monster team, two dark elves with short golden hair were waving their arms vigorously.
"Aura and Mare..."
"Oh my! It seems that I don't need to take action anymore?"
Just the next second after the dark elf twin siblings arrived, a teleportation gate opened, and Shalltear, the vampire true ancestor with pale skin and wearing a bright red gothic lolita dress, walked out, holding a parasol.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at the floor guardians who suddenly appeared in front of him, Momonga, who was completely clueless, asked subconsciously.
"Albedo summoned us, saying that an enemy had broken into the Great Tomb of Nazarick and threatened the Supreme Momonga-sama!"
At this time, heavy footsteps came with a bone-chilling chill. Cocytus, the fifth floor guardian with an icy blue body like a killing machine, appeared in front of everyone. Fully armed, he locked his gaze on Lu Minghao as soon as he appeared.
After all, the only one present who wasn't a member of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and simultaneously gave him a sense of fatal threat was Lu Minghao.
“Albedo?”
Hearing Cocytus's words, Momonga turned to look at Albedo, who was standing in front of him. After a moment's thought, Momonga understood why Albedo did this. After all, this was the first time someone from outside the Great Tomb of Nazarick had entered this place.
“I am truly sorry, Great Supreme Being Momonga-sama. It is all because of my mistake that...”
In front, upon hearing Momonga call her name, Albedo quickly turned around to apologize. Previously, because of Lu Minghao's sudden appearance, and facing the deep, abyss-like fear beneath Lu Minghao's surface.
Albedo, in addition to instinctively protecting Momonga, also directly commanded the other Floor Guardians, in order to eliminate Lu Minghao, this suddenly appearing intruder who threatened the safety of the Supreme Being.
“Alright, Albedo, I forgive you for everything!”
Having already guessed why Albedo did this, Momonga directly raised his hand to stop Albedo's apology, and expressed that he forgave Albedo for everything. The other Guardians below looked at Albedo after hearing Momonga's words, their eyes filled with envy.
Especially Shalltear, whose teeth were gnashing, her crimson eyes staring fixedly at Albedo, wishing she was the one standing there.
“Ahem, then let's continue the previous topic. Lu Minghao, what is your purpose in coming to me?”
Looking at Albedo, who looked like she was about to cry from gratitude, Momonga coughed and looked at Lu Minghao, who was sizing up the Great Floor Guardians, and asked, wanting to understand Lu Minghao's purpose.
“My purpose? It's very simple. I just sensed this abnormal spatial fluctuation and wanted to see the existence who came to this world like me. As for what purpose, how about becoming friends with you, or at least not being hostile in the absence of conflicting interests?”
Looking at Momonga and the many Floor Guardians looking at him, Lu Minghao said with a slight smile. Originally, he came this time just to meet Ainz Ooal Gown and to judge whether the other party would affect his plan.
If possible, he would also like to become a 'heart-to-heart' friend with Ainz Ooal Gown, or at least ensure that Ainz Ooal Gown would not interfere with his plan.
“So that's the case. I can't promise to be friends for the time being, but I can confirm that there is no conflict of interest between us at the moment.”
After listening to Lu Minghao's words, Momonga, who already had some goodwill towards Lu Minghao, subconsciously wanted to agree to become friends with Lu Minghao, but just as he was about to speak, a light green light lit up on his body. Under the instinct of the Highest Undead Race · Ruler of Death, the originally somewhat excited clarity became calm, and his thoughts returned to an extremely calm state.
Under extremely rational circumstances, after a little thought, Momonga chose to reject Lu Minghao, but also stated that they currently had no conflict of interest. After all, today was the first time he and Lu Minghao had met. If they really wanted to become friends, Momonga thought it would take some time.
“Well, in that case, my purpose has been achieved. It's time to leave.”
After hearing Momonga's answer, Lu Minghao nodded calmly. He didn't expect to become friends with Ainz Ooal Gown on the first meeting, but at least the minimum goal had been achieved, and a good foundation had been laid for the future.
“By the way, one more thing, I now live in a certain manor in the royal capital of Re-Estize Kingdom. If you have time, you are welcome to come and play at any time.”
After speaking, Lu Minghao didn't wait for Momonga's answer, and directly raised his hands and clenched them, then his arms tightened. With a snap, the space of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which was originally imprisoned, was directly torn apart by Lu Minghao.
“It's quite tough.”
Lu Minghao lowered his head and looked at the fragments of space in his palm, muttered, and then walked into the space passage in front of him. In the original story, the space inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick was completely locked. Unless one possessed the ring bestowed by Ainz Ooal Gown, representing the Supreme Being's identity, even the Floor Guardians could not move within the space of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
However, this situation was not absolute. If it was said that before coming to this world, it was impossible to do such a thing in the game, but now, after crossing into another world, the rules that originally prevented anyone except the Supreme Beings from teleporting within the Great Tomb of Nazarick had been broken.
As long as one had enough strength, they could completely tear apart space and teleport like Lu Minghao. If teleporting outside was like passing through a thin layer of water, then teleporting inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick was like forcibly breaking through a steel plate. Even Lu Minghao had to use a little force.
“He left?”
Looking at the disappeared Lu Minghao, Demiurge's eyes hidden behind his glasses narrowed slightly, and his gaze became a little deep. As a demon, his instinct vaguely felt that Lu Minghao's purpose in appearing in front of them this time was not as simple as he said.
After all, at the moment he walked out of the shadows, his instinct was frantically telling him to escape, and it was precisely because he was a demon that he could vaguely sense the pure but endless 'evil' hidden in Lu Minghao's body.
That feeling was as if Lu Minghao was the 'evil' itself, or rather, the King of 'Evil'!
“Alright, Demiurge, don't worry about this matter for now. The most important thing at the moment is that the Great Tomb of Nazarick has been transferred to a strange world for unknown reasons. The most important thing at the moment is to figure out where the Great Tomb of Nazarick is and the information about this world.”
Saying that, Momonga turned his head to look at Sebas, who had already returned, signaling him to tell everyone present all the information he had discovered outside. As Sebas spoke, the expressions of everyone, including Momonga, became serious.
“Grassland?”
“Yes, it is completely different from the swamp where the Great Tomb of Nazarick was originally located. All artificial buildings, humanoid creatures, and monsters within a kilometer radius have disappeared.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Sebas. It seems that only the Great Tomb of Nazarick has come to this world for unknown reasons.”
After obtaining the information about the outside world of the Great Tomb of Nazarick at this time, Momonga touched his chin and spoke slowly, and began to think about the subsequent plan in his mind. After all, they had just arrived in this world, and they were completely ignorant of the information about this world.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to hide the traces of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. In addition, the Great Tomb of Nazarick must enter a state of alert. In addition to ensuring that enough combat power is left to protect the Great Tomb of Nazarick, personnel must also be sent out to understand the information about this world.
