Bone King: Starting from Becoming the Supreme

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, ninth floor.

This is the sacred city of Nazarick, and also the most special layer of the entire underground tomb.

Because this is the residence of forty-two supreme beings.

Except for a very small number of people who are specially allowed, this is a sacred place where no living creature is allowed to set foot.

Apart from the forty-two supreme beings, the only ones who are qualified to set foot on this floor are the guardians of other levels, the maids in charge of the sanitation of the ninth floor, and the assistant butler who assists Sebastian - Aikulaier.

Xizi was walking in the magnificent corridor on the ninth floor, holding Aikulele, who looked like a penguin, in her arms.

Although Aikulele strongly protested against this.

But under the tremendous suppression of force, Aikulele had no room for resistance.

Because of her short stature and cute appearance, she caused a lot of discussion among the ordinary maids around her.

"Sure enough, Xizi-chan is really cute!"

"Wow, I really want to go up and cuddle with Xizi-chan."

"Come on, you can do it!"

"Eh——but that's the battle maid Shizu-chan, she must be very busy, right? I'm sure she'll think I'm bothering you, right?"

"Look, it seems that the person Xizi-chan is holding is Aikulaier?"

"That stinky birdman who always talks about ruling Nazarick can actually be in the arms of Xizi-chan. Damn it - I'm so envious!"

"The Supreme Beings are really too merciful to tolerate the existence of such a fellow."

"Ah, Shizu-chan left. Woohoo, in the end, I didn't even get to say a word."

"I've decided. Next time we meet, I will definitely shake hands with Xizi-chan! Absolutely!"

"Well, I remember you said the same thing last time and the time before that?"

"Please, I have finally made up my mind, don't discourage me!"

……

"Ah, I found it."

"Hey, it's Sister Xizi. You're back?"

"Yes, it's Sister Xizi. She has returned triumphantly after completing the mission of the Eighth Generation Master perfectly."

"Oh, so I see. It's really enviable to be able to serve the Eighth Dai-sama, Sister Xizi."

"It's Sister Xizi. By the way, what is Entoma doing here?"

"Well...actually, I've finished my cookies and I'm really hungry, so I'm planning on going to a snack shop. Do you want to join me, Xizi-chan?"

"…I still have a mission, so forget it."

"Is that so? I'll go alone then. Bye, Sister Xizi."

"It's Sister Xizi."

"Okay, Sister Xizi."

"..."

Watching Entoma open her arms and run forward skillfully like a little girl, she soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Xizi turned around and continued walking forward.

At this moment, a demonic figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the corridor ahead.

Seeing this, Xizi immediately walked towards the other party.

"Master Demiurge."

"Hmm? It's Xizi. It's just right. I need to come to you for something."

"Yes, I have already informed Lord Ainz of this matter in advance, and Lord Ainz also feels that it is most appropriate to leave this matter to you."

"Wow? This is really... Well, then could you please tell me the details in detail?"

"Of course."

Then, Xizi recounted in full what happened to them and Yashiro in that cave.

Demiurge stroked his chin with his right hand, his brain already starting to think.

Talking to himself.

"[Body of the Abyss]... In such a short time, the Eighth Generation Master has already found a hidden ancient organization. How did he do it?"

After arriving in this unknown world, Demiurge quickly integrated all his available strength and began to collect relevant information about this world without stopping.

Although he also collected a lot of useful information through neighboring countries.

However, no information about the [Body of the Abyss] has ever been collected.

Even slightly stronger organizations have not found any trace of it.

Demiurge was never an arrogant demon.

Just as Lord Ainz said, it is very dangerous to arrogantly think that you are the strongest being in this world before you have a clear understanding of the ins and outs of this world.

Therefore, if there really is a strong person in this world, he has no way to collect the relevant information of the other party in a short period of time.

That can only mean that the other party has hidden himself in advance.

Moreover, the hiding effect is quite good.

But even so, the Eighth Generation had not been out for even a month, and he had already found such an ancient organization.

Even Demiurge could not help but sigh at such means.

Although, it is extremely disrespectful to compare the two supreme beings without authorization.

However, if he had to say, Demiurge even thought that Lord Yasadaim's wisdom might even be higher than Lord Ainz's.

Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind.

"I understand. So my mission is to ask the undead with the body of the abyss what Master Yashiro wants to know, right?"

"Yes……"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Xizi, any other questions?"

"Well... that immortal once behaved very disrespectfully towards Lord Yashiro. Due to Lord Yashiro's order, Lord Angel and I were unable to take action. So, if possible, I hope Lord Demiurge can punish him a little."

"Oh? Can you tell me in detail what rude behavior he has committed? I will give him the appropriate punishment within a certain range according to the degree of his rudeness."

"It's a bit too much, for example, using magic to attack Yashiro-sama's holy body, the blood of the summoned demon stained Yashiro-sama's shoes, threatened Yashiro-sama, and even disappointed Yashiro-sama at one point."

“…Haha…haha…haha…I…I see. I understand.”

Demiurge, who always kept a straight face and had a faint smile on his lips, had his smile twisted and his muscles twitched as he listened to Xizi's words.

Even the voice he spoke could not help but tremble a little.

This is a loss of composure caused by the emotion called anger.

If any other guardian had heard this, they would have probably picked up their swords and axes and rushed forward to cut the undead with the body of the abyss into pieces.

But in the end, Demiurge still forcibly suppressed his inner anger and murderous intent.

Those who disappoint the Supreme Being have no meaning in existing in this world.

However, it would be too merciful to let such a guy die without any pain.

He took a deep breath and temporarily calmed his anger.

Because next, he would go to meet the other Supreme who remained in Nazarick.

……

Ninth floor, large bathing area.

"Huh - taking a bath is indeed refreshing."

Yashiro leaned his back against the bathtub, placed his hands on the edge of the tub, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the nourishment of the water.

Although, because his race is a Fallen Angel, even if no cleaning measures are taken, there will be no filth left on his body.

But as an ordinary human being in my previous two lives, I always felt like something was missing if I didn’t take a bath for a long time.

Perhaps, this is the so-called remaining 'human' residue.

Just as he was enjoying the wonderful hot bath with a comfortable look on his face, he suddenly heard very light footsteps behind him.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the shadow of a demon was reflected in his golden and black pupils.

The demon stopped about three meters away from the bath and knelt on one knee.

"Master Yadaime, your subordinate Demiurge comes to see you."

"Oh, you're here, Xiaodi, do you want to take a bath together?"

"... This... taking a bath with the Supreme Being is a bit too..."

"Well, don't worry about those details. Besides, your creator Ulbert once said that men should be honest when discussing things with each other!"

"Wha-that Ulbert-sama?"

"Right, so you wanna come in?"

"...Yes! Please forgive my rudeness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Demiurge took off his clothes and pants, revealing his muscular body.

Well…even though he’s a demon, he still wears shorts that cover a certain private part.

Yashiro suddenly seemed a little uninterested.

Originally, I was planning to observe the differences between the reproductive organs of demons and humans, but I ended up with nothing.

Even if he ordered Demiurge to take off his underwear now, he would not resist.

But Yashiro always felt it was a bit weird to say such words to a man and couldn't bring herself to say it.

Submerging his body in the pool and feeling the comfortable water temperature, Demiurge showed a rare expression of surprise.

As a demon, he has an efficient method of cleaning himself quickly.

Taking a bath as a way to cleanse the body was not on his schedule.

However, the moment he entered the bathtub, he found that his body and mind seemed to become more comfortable because of the temperature of the water.

The depression that was originally suppressed in my heart was also alleviated a lot.

"How is it, is the water temperature suitable?"

"Yes! It is very appropriate, Lord Yashiro, and I am very grateful for your teachings."

"Huh? I didn't do anything."

"No, no, no, you invited me to the bathhouse to relax because you saw my restless heart. After all, the more anxious and flustered you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. You hope that your subordinates will be able to complete the task more calmly and avoid making mistakes in the future. With such good intentions, I, Demiurge, will definitely live up to your expectations of me."

"..."

Good guy, I'm just good guy!

You, Xiaodi, really have a lot of imagination!

No wonder in the original work, Momonga had stomachache all day long because of you.

No matter who it is, they would not be able to withstand Xiaodi's imagination.

Fortunately, he is not the guild president and will not have much contact with Xiaodi.

Therefore, the person who should have a stomachache is not him, but Momonga-san.

"I've always had high hopes for you, Xiaodi, but the main reason I asked you to come here today is because I want to give you something."

“Hmm? —This?! This is… the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown.”

"Yes, as Nazarick's think tank, I have seen your efforts in recent times. This is a reward for you."

"How...how can this be possible! I just did what a servant should do the most. This kind of reward..."

"Take it, Demiurge. You deserve it."

Demiurge slowly stretched out his trembling right hand and excitedly took the ring that symbolized supreme glory.

If he had not always remembered that he had to maintain proper etiquette in front of the Supreme Being, he would have been moved to tears.

He tightly grasped the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown and spoke in the most pious voice.

"I, Demiurge, swear on my life that I will fulfill your expectations!"

"Mmmmm~"

Yashiro waved his hand casually, not really caring.

The reason why he called Xiaodi here was actually to fulfill a small wish of his.

After all, in the original work, poor Xiao Di waited for the ring, but waited until all the flowers had wilted.

It was so heartbreaking that even he, an outsider, felt heartbroken.

After fulfilling his little wish, Yashiro continued to look up, thinking about the subsequent developments of the plot.

"According to the current time, the next plot seems to be that Xia Jiu will be controlled?"
