Inside the extravagantly luxurious room, Princess Renner turned and walked forward, carefully examining the two figures lying on the ground. Gazing at the faces and attire that were identical to her own, Princess Renner slowly crouched down and placed her palm on one of their heads. Her fair, jade-like skin began to undulate, and a white, almost transparent tentacle emerged from her fingertip.
It easily pierced the figure with a face exactly like hers. The girl lying on the ground seemed to feel a sharp pain, and a pair of clear blue eyes opened, large and vacant, making her look like a doll without self-awareness.
But as time passed, the originally empty eyes gradually brightened. The watery eyes seemed to be injected with a soul, curiously observing everything before them. The gaze was like that of a newborn child, innocent, naive, yet clean and pure.
"Alright."
Looking at the completed masterpiece before her, Princess Renner revealed a sweet smile. Then, she began to do the same thing to the doll that looked exactly like Climb. After about half a minute, a brand new Climb was created, his handsome face bearing an expression of uprightness and loyalty, guarding behind his 'Princess Renner'.
"You really have a twisted sense of humor."
Yusa, who had been silently watching Princess Renner's actions, now stared at the 'Princess Renner' who was as curious and benevolent as a child, and the 'Climb' guarding behind her. She turned her head expressionlessly and said to the real Princess Renner.
At this moment, she already understood what Princess Renner wanted to do. These two 'dolls' were made to be scapegoats. Incidentally, their deaths would push this grand play to its climax, making the Great Tomb of Nazarick completely opposed to all kingdoms.
"Isn't this what Master expects?"
After hearing Yusa's words, Princess Renner turned her head, a twisted smile on her face. At the same time, she turned her head and looked out the window, only to see an undead army like a tide had already invaded the royal palace. At this moment, the nobles and residents of the royal capital hiding in the palace were being harvested at will like straw.
Meanwhile, Ainz Ooal Gown, who was walking towards this place, seemed to notice something. He subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the top of the tall building in front of him, vaguely seeing a golden-haired, blue-eyed girl looking at him through the window.
"Ainz-sama, what's wrong?"
Albedo, noticing Ainz Ooal Gown suddenly raising his head, quickly stepped forward and asked with a wary tone. She hadn't forgotten the reason for launching this war against the royal palace. The demonic aura that had attacked Ainz-sama before, according to the tracking, was in the tall building in front of them.
"Albedo, who are the people living in there?"
Demiurge, without waiting for Albedo to answer, hurriedly told Ainz Ooal Gown everything he knew. After deciding to declare war on the kingdom, Demiurge secretly captured some nobles from the kingdom's border and brought them back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, obtaining most of the royal palace's information from them.
According to the information he obtained, the only surviving royal family member of this kingdom, Princess Renner, lived in that tall building.
"Demiurge, don't kill her for now."
After thinking for a few seconds, Ainz Ooal Gown turned his head and ordered Demiurge. From the way Princess Renner looked at him before, combined with the fact that she lived in this tall building, Ainz Ooal Gown suspected that this Princess Renner should know the news of those demons who attacked him before.
"Yes, Ainz-sama."
After saying that, Demiurge waved his hand, and the undead army behind him began to advance towards the tall building in front of them. At the same time, all the Floor Guardians present, including Ainz Ooal Gown, secretly became vigilant. Currently, the entire Re-Estize Kingdom has been almost completely destroyed by them.
All the cities and residents of the entire kingdom have been flattened by the undead army of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Except for the humans still alive in the tall building in front of them, all the remaining humans of the Re-Estize Kingdom have been completely slaughtered.
And this, is the most important ground of this war, inside of it contains their final goal.
"Hmm?"
Half a minute later, Ainz Ooal Gown looked at the undead soldiers who had entered the high building without any hindrance and were wantonly slaughtering the humans hiding inside, and subconsciously revealed a puzzled expression. Originally, according to his guess, shouldn't those demons who once attacked him take action at this time?
Or is it that the aura left here is just bait, and those demons who once attacked him are not here at all?
"Ainz-sama."
At this time, Shalltear walked out and looked at Ainz Ooal Gown. Although she didn't say it explicitly, the fact that she had already taken out her divine-class item, the Spuit Lance, could explain everything. Shalltear, who had been waiting impatiently, planned to rush in and find those demons who had attacked Ainz-sama, making them regret their actions.
"Mm."
Opposite her, Ainz Ooal Gown looked at the fully armed Shalltear, nodded after a few seconds of silence. Currently, it was indeed most appropriate to let Shalltear go in and test the waters first. After all, as the strongest in overall strength in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Shalltear had enough strength to resist even if she was ambushed.
As long as Shalltear was not instantly killed, then in the next second, they outside could rush to her aid.
After receiving Ainz Ooal Gown's reply, a bloodthirsty and fanatical expression appeared on Shalltear's exquisite and lovely face. Carrying her Spuit Lance, she directly walked into the high building, her scarlet eyes staring intently at everything around her.
"Yusa, is this what Master said about fighting wits with air?"
At the same time, in the room on the top floor, Princess Renner, who had long been prepared for Ainz Ooal Gown and the others to rush in, looked at the confusing actions of Ainz Ooal Gown and his group below with a helpless and puzzled expression, and then looked at Yusa beside her and asked.
Honestly, Princess Renner had no intention of plotting against Ainz Ooal Gown and the others. After all, Master's plan required this world to become completely chaotic, only in this situation could forbidden knowledge be quickly and freely spread.
Moreover, Ainz Ooal Gown and the others were the existence Master chose to make this world chaotic.
However, Princess Renner didn't expect that Ainz Ooal Gown, who had completely destroyed the entire Re-Estize Kingdom in less than a day, and slaughtered all the residents in the kingdom, would be so... cautious, and start to become slow and hesitant at the last moment.
"Don't forget that he was almost killed by them before, it's normal to act cautiously. Also, Princess Renner, we should leave, now is not the time for us to be exposed."
Yusa, who was equally speechless at Ainz Ooal Gown's behavior of fighting wits with air, turned her head and said expressionlessly to Princess Renner. Now, she had already sensed that undead soldiers had arrived outside the door, and they could not be exposed to Ainz Ooal Gown's sight yet.
After all, once Ainz Ooal Gown knew that it was their master who attacked him, then Ainz Ooal Gown and the Great Tomb of Nazarick would definitely target them next, and then Master's plan would be hindered by Ainz Ooal Gown.
And this was also the reason why Lu Minghao did not order the members of Eight Fingers and Princess Renner to resist. Otherwise, with just Ainz Ooal Gown's undead army, how could they have so easily destroyed the entire Re-Estize Kingdom that had already been eroded and distorted by Lu Minghao.
It's likely that the entire undead army would be devoured by the distorted earth as nourishment the moment they stepped into the Kingdom's territory.
"Well, it's definitely time to leave. Let's leave the rest to them."
After speaking, Princess Renner looked at the two puppets she had personally created beside her. Then, she led Climb and Lakyus to the Eight Fingers member in the corner. Immediately, the shadows beneath their feet began to twist, swallowing them up, leaving only the two puppets in the room.
Bang!
The next second after Princess Renner and the others left, the door to the room was pushed open and a group of undead soldiers rushed in, instantly spotting the only two remaining people in the room.
"Princess Renner, danger!"
Instantly, Climb, who had been guarding behind Princess Renner, drew the longsword from his waist and stood in front of Princess Renner. The handsome young face was filled with a hint of fear and determination as he looked at the numerous undead soldiers before him. Even though his body trembled with fear, he still staunchly protected his princess.
"Climb, be careful!"
Princess Renner's clean, pure eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Climb's back. Her voice, like that of a lark, echoed in the room, coupled with her pitiful expression, giving people a feeling of wanting to protect her, making people want to hold her in their arms and care for her meticulously.
Even the undead soldiers who had just barged in subconsciously restrained their deathly, terrifying undead aura when faced with such a Princess Renner, quietly standing in place and looking at the two.
"Greetings, Your Highness Princess Renner."
At this moment, the undead soldiers at the door suddenly parted to make way, and Demiurge walked with elegant steps to stand before Climb and Princess Renner, gently pressing his left hand to his heart and bowing slightly to Princess Renner as he greeted her.
"Greetings."
"Princess Renner, no!"
Behind Climb, Princess Renner looked at the demon bowing to her, a look of determination on her innocent face. Amidst Climb's exclamation, she stepped forward from behind him, lifted the hem of her skirt, and returned the greeting to Demiurge.
"So, as the victor, what brings you here? Or have you already decided how to deal with me, this princess of a fallen kingdom?"
The next second, Princess Renner raised her head and looked at Demiurge before her without the slightest fear in her eyes. At this moment, the silvery moonlight outside the window shone on her, and her golden hair fluttered slightly in the breeze, making Princess Renner look holy. At this moment, she was the Golden Princess known as the Kingdom's Jewel.
"Oh! As expected of Renner, the Golden Princess."
Demiurge looked with interest at the human girl before him who showed no fear towards them. The wisdom in her azure eyes made Demiurge, who originally only regarded humans as lowly two (meow) legged sheep, slightly think higher of Princess Renner.
"Then, please come with me. The Supreme Overlord Ainz Ooal Gown wishes to see you."
After speaking, Demiurge turned and walked out of the room. Princess Renner glanced at the undead soldiers beside her before stepping forward to follow Demiurge. Seeing this, Climb gritted his teeth and followed as well.
Before long, led by Demiurge, the group arrived at the basement of the high-rise. Here, Princess Renner met the Supreme Overlord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown, the mastermind behind the destruction of the entire Kingdom.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Princess Renner. I am Ainz Ooal Gown."
Looking at the beautiful golden-haired, blue-eyed girl before him, Ainz Ooal Gown extended his hand to greet Princess Renner in a friendly manner, completely devoid of the appearance of someone who had killed Princess Renner's entire family and destroyed the Kingdom ruled by the royal family.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown. May I ask what business you have with me, this princess of a fallen kingdom?"
Looking at the skeletal hand extended by Ainz Ooal Gown, Princess Renner gracefully extended her hand to shake it, then raised her head to look at Ainz Ooal Gown and slowly asked.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Princess Renner, do you know about this place? Or rather, do you know where the owner of that demonic aura is?"
After speaking, Ainz Ooal Gown stepped aside, revealing the basement behind him. In the center of the dimly lit basement was a pool of blood about five meters in diameter. The scarlet blood in the pool was constantly boiling, but the air was filled with a sweet and fishy smell, completely different from the rusty smell of blood.
"This is...?"
Princess Renner looked at the blood pool before her, her azure eyes filled with astonishment. She subconsciously walked past Ainz Ooal Gown beside her to the edge of the blood pool, reaching out to gently touch the scarlet liquid inside.
"I don't know."
After a few seconds, after confirming that everything before her was not an illusion, Princess Renner stood up and shook her head at Ainz Ooal Gown. Although she had never been to the basement in her memory, it was impossible for such a thing to exist here as the residence of her maids, and she had never heard of demons here.
"It seems you don't know either."
Looking at the clueless Princess Renner before him, Ainz Ooal Gown was absolutely certain through magic that Princess Renner was not lying, which meant that the clues about the demons who attacked him within the Re-Estize Kingdom ended here. Moreover, the aura remaining here might have been deliberately left behind by those demons to mock him.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
The next second, upon thinking that he might have been tricked by those demons, Ainz Ooal Gown could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He raised his foot and began to frantically vent his anger on the walls and the blood pool before him. With the blessing of his powerful strength, even Ainz Ooal Gown, who was a magic caster, easily destroyed everything around him, and the faint green light on his body flashed non-stop.
"I'm sorry."
Knowing that after a few seconds, Ainz Ooal Gown finally calmed down and told the Floor Guardians beside him, who were looking at him with worried expressions, that he was fine.
"Ainz-sama, since those demons who attacked you aren't here, then they must be in other kingdoms. As long as we conquer the entire world, then we will always find them."
At this time, Albedo stepped forward and said with concern in her voice. In any case, they had already planned to bring the entire world under the control of the Great Tomb of Nazarick from the start of this war. Albedo believed that they would always find those demons one day.
"Yes."
Hearing Albedo's words, Ainz Ooal Gown, who had regained his composure, nodded in agreement. No matter where those demons were hiding, as long as he conquered the entire world, he would be able to find them eventually. Moreover, in the process, he might even be able to find those companions who might have also come to this world.
"By the way, Ainz-sama, what about those two?"
Nearby, Mare awkwardly walked to Ainz Ooal Gown's side, pointing at Climb and the two who were protecting Princess Renner behind them, asking. They were the only two humans still alive in the entire Re-Estize Kingdom.
"Grant them 'mercy'!"
"Yes, Ainz-sama."
After hearing Ainz Ooal Gown's words, Mare obediently nodded and walked towards Princess Renner and Climb. A faint, yet awkward smile appeared on the androgynous face as he nodded at them, then raised the magic staff in his hand, which was as big as his body.
