In the ten-thousand-meter high sky, both the Platinum Dragon Lord and Ainz Ooal Gown's group looked with grim faces at the clouds that were beginning to distort under their very noses. The tentacles that stretched out and waved from the clouds seemed to mock them.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the unsightly, distorted clouds, the Platinum Dragon Lord roared and opened his mouth wide, instantly evaporating them with his scorching dragon breath. Only after evaporating all the nearby clouds did the Platinum Dragon Lord stop his attack.
"Ainz-sama, what do we do now?"
Beside him, Albedo glanced at the Platinum Dragon Lord, who had stopped venting his anger, then turned to Ainz Ooal Gown and asked. Continuing to fight the Platinum Dragon Lord's side in this situation would be completely irrational.
All indications suggested that both sides had been played by the guy hiding in the shadows.
The most important thing now was to find the guy hiding in the dark, figure out how he turned this world into this, and what he wanted to do.
"First, find out what happened inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
Ainz Ooal Gown glanced at the soldiers below who were distorting. In just a few seconds, several monsters with heights of a thousand meters had appeared on the battlefield. At this moment, those monsters were devouring other distorting soldiers, their bodies expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After seeing the situation below, the unease in Ainz Ooal Gown's heart grew even more intense. Even he felt that the current situation was incredibly difficult, and he had a premonition that the situation inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which had lost contact, should not be much better than below.
"Yes, Ainz-sama."
After saying that, Albedo, along with Shalltear, who had just arrived, opened a teleportation gate to the Great Tomb of Nazarick. However, just as the two were about to step inside, a strange wriggling sound suddenly came from within the gate.
Immediately afterward, a monster covered in mucus, with a bloated body and an appearance like a worm, crawled out from it.
Bang!
Just as the worm that had just crawled out was about to attack Albedo, who was close at hand, Shalltear directly lifted her spear and shattered the worm in front of her with a single blow, splattering dark red, viscous liquid everywhere.
"It seems that everyone inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick has turned into such monsters!"
On the side, Demiurge raised his hand and wiped the blood splattered on his glasses, his face extremely gloomy. The other Guardians beside him also had similar expressions. For them, the Great Tomb of Nazarick was their home.
And now their home, like the entire world, had turned into this indescribable monster. It was likely that the members who had originally stayed behind in the Great Tomb of Nazarick had all distorted into monsters.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
On the side, although he had been mentally prepared, Ainz Ooal Gown still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart after truly seeing this scene. A burst of emerald green light lit up on his body, but it had no effect at all.
"Ainz Ooal Gown, let's join hands. The current situation no longer allows us to fight each other. I believe that even the undead would not want to live in this disgusting and twisted world, right?"
At this time, the Platinum Dragon Lord suddenly raised his head and extended an invitation to join forces to Ainz Ooal Gown. Although the Platinum Dragon Lord was very angry at Ainz Ooal Gown's previous actions of slaughtering humans, compared to the current situation.
Before, Ainz Ooal Gown's actions of slaughtering humans could be said to be overly kind. After all, Ainz Ooal Gown didn't want to make this world so disgusting.
"Join hands... I agree."
Ainz Ooal Gown raised his head to look at the Platinum Dragon Lord opposite him. After a few seconds of silence, Ainz Ooal Gown nodded and agreed to this matter. Indeed, the current situation had reached the point where they had to join hands.
Moreover, Ainz Ooal Gown had roughly guessed who the guy hiding in the dark was.
Lu Minghao, the player who appeared in front of him when he first descended into this world, plus the fact that Lu Minghao, who had told him that he lived in the royal capital, did not appear when he slaughtered the kingdom.
In addition to the changes in the entire world now, only Lu Minghao, who was also a player like him, could do it. After all, each of the top twenty World-Class Items had the power to change the entire world.
Ainz Ooal Gown suspected that the reason why the world had become like this was probably because Lu Minghao had used some unknown World-Class Item.
"However, before joining hands, shouldn't we deal with that guy first?"
As he said that, Ainz Ooal Gown pointed to Sebas and Rigguruto Einz, who were still fighting fiercely below. Because Sebas had repeatedly shattered Rigguruto Einz's body, which had merged with the giant wolf, in the previous battle.
Rigguruto Einz had to forcibly repair his body at the cost of a large amount of life force, which led to him already starting to lose his mind when Lu Minghao began to completely erode and pollute this world, relying entirely on the giant wolf's powerful beastial instinct to fight Sebas.
He was eroded and polluted by the power of Original Sin in the first instance. With Rigguruto Einz's strength at the time being enough to rival the Guardians, coupled with the erosion and distortion of the power of Original Sin, his already terrifying strength was further enhanced.
Now, Sebas, who had been dominating the battle, was constantly falling into a disadvantage after Rigguruto Einz's distortion began. The pair of handsome dragon horns on his head had been broken off at some point, and his strong body was covered with large and small wounds.
He could only dodge the increasingly powerful attacks of Rigguruto Einz after the distortion in a pathetic manner.
"....... Leave it to me."
On the opposite side, the Platinum Dragon Lord looked at his old friend who had distorted below, his golden dragon eyes filled with sadness. Then, after raising his head and saying something to Ainz Ooal Gown, he waved his dragon wings and rushed towards Rigguruto Einz. At least in the end, he wanted to let his former best friend die without pain.
This was the only thing he could do now.
"Roar!!"
Below, when the distorted Rigguruto Einz was slightly approached by the Platinum Dragon Lord, his terrifying fighting instinct made him abandon Sebas, who had almost lost his threat, in the first instant. The two ferocious wolf heads were raised and roared at the approaching Platinum Dragon Lord, as if he was a beast protecting its food.
"Rigguruto Einz, I'm sorry."
Looking at the upper half of the wolf's head exposed outside, the old face that once had a smile was now distorted like a beast. The Platinum Dragon Lord's tone was full of sadness as he apologized to her, and then endless light gathered in front of him.
After the light dissipated, the distorted Rigguruto Einz had completely disappeared, dying painlessly under the Platinum Dragon Lord's strongest Origin Magic, Ultimate Great Explosion.
"Next, it's time to find that guy hiding in the dark and settle the score!"
After confirming Rigrit Eine's death, the Platinum Dragon Lord slowly raised his head to look at the sun's position in the sky. He could sense that the source of all this was in that direction, and it was no surprise that the hidden guy was definitely there.
"Let's go."
"Wait a minute, let me contact the other True Dragon Lords first."
After speaking, the Platinum Dragon Lord used magic to contact the other five True Dragon Lords, while secretly rejoicing in his heart that he had fortunately notified the other five True Dragon Lords in advance because of his unease before the war.
"Huh?"
A few minutes later, the Platinum Dragon Lord, who had tried all sorts of methods but could not contact the other True Dragon Lords, suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes full of disbelief, and a bad guess appeared in his mind.
Could it be that the hidden guy already knew about the existence of the other five True Dragon Lords, and killed all five True Dragon Lords in the few days he was preparing for the great battle with Ainz Ooal Gown?
After all, this was the greatest possibility that the Platinum Dragon Lord could think of. The five True Dragon Lords who could still be contacted a few days ago could not be contacted now, and this was the only possibility.
"What's wrong?"
Ainz Ooal Gown, who was on the side, also saw the Platinum Dragon Lord's sudden action of looking at the sky, and coupled with the Platinum Dragon Lord's ugly face at this time, Ainz Ooal Gown probably already knew that the Platinum Dragon Lord's helpers were probably all dead.
"I can't contact any of the other True Dragon Lords anymore. It seems that we can only rely on ourselves next."
Facing Ainz Ooal Gown's inquiry, the Platinum Dragon Lord told everything, including the fact that he had secretly contacted the five True Dragon Lords before the war. There was no need to hide it now.
"Then let's go."
"Okay."
As soon as the words fell, all the remaining guardians and Dragon Lords on both sides gathered around Ainz Ooal Gown and the Platinum Dragon Lord, and flew towards the position of the sun above. As they continued to accelerate, the distorted clouds around them became more and more numerous.
After killing all the Aberrations blocking the way, the group finally arrived at the highest point in the sky. In front of them, two blue-haired girls in maid outfits were waiting for their arrival.
"Welcome everyone, Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Yusa gently lifted the corners of her skirt and said to Ainz Ooal Gown and the others in front of her with incomparable elegance. Then, without waiting for their reply, she took Yuri and flew upwards.
Before long, an ice-blue slime with a diameter of nearly a kilometer appeared in front of everyone, and next to the slime, Princess Renner with golden hair was looking at Ainz Ooal Gown, who had slaughtered the entire kingdom, with great interest.
"You are... the princess of the kingdom?"
The moment Albedo saw Princess Renner, she remembered the other party's identity. After all, when the kingdom was destroyed, she had received a lot of information about Princess Renner, the famous Golden Princess.
"Greetings, Lady Albedo."
Opposite her, Princess Renner greeted Albedo and the others with a smile on her face, as if she had completely forgotten that the other party was the murderer who had slaughtered the entire royal family and destroyed the kingdom.
"Why are you still alive?"
"I was never dead. The one who died back then was just a substitute."
As she spoke, Princess Renner reached out and gently stroked the hair of the little dog, Clementine, her beautiful big eyes narrowed slightly.
"Lu Minghao, long time no see."
At this time, Ainz Ooal Gown, who had been silently looking at the giant slime on the side, suddenly stepped forward and said. When he saw this ice-blue slime just now, he had already determined the other party's identity.
"Long time no see, my dear friend."
Opposite him, Lu Minghao's huge body began to wriggle, and then he transformed into a human form again in front of everyone, greeting Ainz Ooal Gown with a gentle smile on his face. After all, without Ainz Ooal Gown, his plan would not have gone so smoothly.
"It really is you. I thought it was strange that you didn't show up when the kingdom was destroyed. Did you start planning everything from then on?"
Facing Lu Minghao's friendly smile, Ainz Ooal Gown's hideous skull face was full of killing intent, and substantial despair aura缠绕缠绕 around his body.
"No, this plan actually started the moment you came to this world."
"Bastard!"
The moment he heard Lu Minghao's answer, Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't help but look at Lu Minghao with undisguised killing intent. Seeing this, the other guardians behind him directly took out their weapons and were about to launch an attack, but fortunately they were stopped in time by the Platinum Dragon Lord on the side.
"As expected of my dear friend, otherwise this last farewell would have ended like this, even I would have felt a trace of regret."
"Who is your dear friend? Also, were the other five True Dragon Lords killed by you?"
Hearing Lu Minghao call himself his dear friend, the Platinum Dragon Lord retorted with an angry face, and then began to inquire about the other five True Dragon Lords.
"You mean that one? It was indeed me. Thanks to you, Platinum Dragon Lord, my dear friend, otherwise I would have forgotten about the existence of the five True Dragon Lords. I only determined their location based on the magic fluctuations when you contacted them before."
"..........".
In an instant, the Platinum Dragon Lord fell into silence. Originally, the reason why Lu Minghao knew about the five True Dragon Lords was because of him. At this moment, even Ainz Ooal Gown and the others on the side were looking at the Platinum Dragon Lord with eyes that looked like they were looking at a traitor.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
A few seconds later, the silent Platinum Dragon Lord raised his head to look at Lu Minghao. Now that things had come to this, there was no use in regretting it. The only thing he could do now was to figure out Lu Minghao's purpose and then kill him.
"It's very simple, I'm just hungry and plan to eat something."
Raising his hand, Lu Minghao pointed to the entire world in front of him. Was there any better food than it?
"Madman!"
"It seems that there is nothing more to say."
Even Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't help but feel that the other party was too crazy after knowing what Lu Minghao wanted to do. He actually wanted to treat the entire world as food. The Platinum Dragon Lord on the side had already begun to gather strength, and now there was only battle.
"Oh? Are you planning to resist? Actually, I also wanted to let you see me devour this world with your own eyes. After all, as good friends, I don't mind sharing such an interesting thing with you, because maybe in this way your taste will be a little better."
After speaking, Lu Minghao no longer concealed his malice, and his eyes were full of appetite as he looked at Ainz Ooal Gown and the others. The power of gluttony condensed into substance and permeated the air.
"Then, before the main course begins, let's eat some appetizers first."
