Bone King: Starting from Becoming the Supreme

Throne Room.

Ainz sat upright, controlling his voice as best as possible, and spoke slowly.

"Demiurge, tell the others our plan in detail in a way that everyone can understand."

"As ordered."

Being allowed to stand in the second closest position to the throne, Demiurge was filled with excitement.

Although this is an honor enough to move anyone to tears.

But in front of the Supreme Being, such disrespect is not allowed.

He strongly suppressed the emotions that seemed to be about to burst out in his chest.

Use the gentlest tone possible to complete the task assigned by the master.

"The actions organized by Ainz-sama and Yasadaime actually have three main purposes."

"Of course, with my wisdom, I can only glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the two Supremes. With Ainz-sama's wisdom, he must have predicted the more distant future."

The audience looked at Ainz with an overwhelming amount of admiration, and cried out in surprise, “Oh!”

Ainz sat on the throne, with two red lights flashing in his pupils.

Eh——?!

Three main purposes?

what is that?

I have absolutely no idea!!

Demiurge held up a finger with a faint smile on his face.

"First, it is to win over people's hearts. According to our current investigation, all members of the Abyss Body organization are undead. They have been deeply rooted in this world for hundreds of years."

"Although most of the undead rarely go out, they have existed for so many years. They have information that spans history and have excellent intelligence collection efficiency. For Nazarick, they are a good chess piece."

Ainz heard this and nodded secretly.

He had already confirmed this with Yashiro in advance.

However, he did not mention this when discussing it with Demiurge later.

However, Demiurge was able to comprehend it on his own.

This is enough to show that, unlike the false ruler he is, Demiurge actually possesses extraordinary mind and wisdom.

Upon hearing this, Shalltear in the audience raised the same question as Ainz had asked at the time with a puzzled look on her face.

"But why go to all this trouble? We have to put on a show in front of a lowly undead. Wouldn't it be better to just take that body under the command of Nazarick?"

Ainz was overjoyed when he heard this!

Finally, I encountered a question that I know the answer to!

As the master of Nazarick, if I never show myself in front of my subordinates, it will eventually lead to doubts from others, right?

So, he let out a deep laugh and spoke before Demiurge could.

“This is to win people’s hearts, Shalltear.”

"Win over...people's hearts?"

"Yes, just imagine that on one hand, someone lends you a hand when you are not in crisis, and on the other hand, someone lends you a hand when you are in despair. Which one will make you more grateful?"

The people in the audience were all stunned when they heard this, and then they showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Oh!"

"So this is ah."

“As expected of you, Master Ainz.”

Listening to the praises from the audience.

For the first time in his life, Ainz finally felt the satisfaction of being a superior.

It’s like when I was in elementary school and encountered a difficult problem that none of my classmates could solve, I had already secretly known the answer, and I easily solved the problem in front of the teacher and the whole class.

Ainz almost became intoxicated by the feeling of self-satisfaction.

However, at this moment, a low laugh from the devil appeared in the huge hall.

Everyone turned their eyes to the person who made the sound—Demiurge.

Xiaodi pushed the round glasses frame above his nose and said with a smile.

“You don’t really think that this is all Ainz-sama’s plan is?”

Ainz turned his head sharply.

Demiurge happened to see this scene, and instantly became more certain of his inner thoughts.

Shalltear looked confused and asked, “What… is going on? Does Lord Ainz have other plans?”

Demiurge looked helpless, and shook his head with a smile.

“Of course, right? As the apex of the Forty-two Supremes of Nazarick, every step Ainz-sama takes must have a deeper meaning.”

Although no one else understood what the deeper meaning was.

But they all tacitly agreed with Demiurge's point of view.

“Indeed, he is Lord Ainz after all.”

"Well, only the Supreme Beings can do this kind of thing."

"So...so awesome!"

"Such wisdom, I deeply admire it!"

If Ainz on the stage had a human face at this moment, he would probably have burst into tears.

What on earth are you talking about!

Why can't I understand a word of it?

What is the deeper meaning?

I’m not, I didn’t, stop talking nonsense!

Although he no longer had a stomach, Ainz felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

However, as a superior, he would never say something like "Ah, I don't know that at all."

The Eighth Generation clearly stated that if the guardians knew that the Supreme Being they had always admired was actually a fool who knew nothing.

Will their loyalty remain unchanged then?

Although after several discussions, they came to the conclusion that "the loyalty of the guardians will most likely not change."

But there is no guarantee that this possibility will be 100%.

Even if there was only the slightest possibility, Ainz would not take the risk.

So, he could only bite the bullet and speak.

“Ah… ahem! As expected of Demiurge, you saw through me.”

Upon hearing this, the people in the audience immediately cast admiring glances at Ainz again.

However, this time, these admiring looks only made Ainz feel uncomfortable.

Demiurge quickly lowered half of his body, feeling extremely terrified.

"What are you talking about? I have only seen the tip of your iceberg with the wisdom given by the Supreme Being. How dare I say that I have seen through you?"

"...Oh... In that case, you can explain it to them in detail."

"I will obey your will!"

Demiurge turned around again, his face regaining its previous calm expression.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, he spoke slowly and calmly.

“The reason why Lord Ainz spent so much time and energy to arrange such a drama cannot be simply to win people’s hearts.”

"If you use your brain a little, you will understand that such low-class people are not worthy of the two Supremes' personal intervention. Unless this matter is related to the future development of Nazarick after its founding, as well as the future distribution of forces, coordination of military forces, elimination of traitors, etc."

Ainz was startled when he heard this.

Eh?

what?

ha---?!!

Jianguo?

The future distribution of power?

Coordination of military forces?

Traitor?

What are these!

Why can't I understand a word you say?

and many more!

Why do the other guardians also have expressions like "I see"?

Eh?

Could it be that... I am the only one who knows nothing?
