Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

Ainz sat on the throne of the kings, his face ashen.

With his telescopic vision magic, he essentially watched the entire epic battle live.

No, it should be described as an epic performance.

Regardless of whether the performance was real or fake,

Ainz knew that the so-called god possessed an extremely strong counter-surveillance skill aura. Back in Yerantier, he had used his scouting skills to investigate Shi Yu and his group, but she had easily stopped him.

If Aqua hadn't unintentionally prevented them from spying, how could they have witnessed what was happening in Yelantier?

Albedo and many of the Guardians were summoned by Ainz to the Hall of Consciousness.

"Lord Ainz."

Ainz Ooal Gown nodded and asked the crowd:

What are your thoughts on what happened yesterday?

Albedo spoke with a solemn expression:

"Without a doubt, the Papal States of Britannia is a faith-based guild, and without considering establishing diplomatic relations, they would probably be at odds with us."

Ainz nodded, though his skeletal face couldn't display any expression.

But his heart was filled with melancholy.

To say that they are as incompatible as fire and water is to flatter oneself.

In reality, his own strength, being predominantly of an evil race, was completely countered by the opponent!

In the world of Overlord, there's no such thing as the devil being one step ahead of the saint.

Holy magic attacks deal double damage to undead.

If it weren't for the fact that there were quite a few non-undead alien species among the guards of Nazarick.

Ainz felt he could finally find a secluded corner to hide away and live out the rest of his life in peace.

However, Ainz Ooal Gown breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the attribute values ​​he gained from leveling up.

At the very least, my attribute growth value is now 5 times that of before. If I can max out my level, I might not be completely helpless.

More importantly, the person who founded the Papal States of Britannia was also from his own hometown.

Although he felt that Shi Yu had tricked him, since Shi Yu hadn't attacked him, it meant that the two sides' diplomacy should be considered friendly, right?

At this moment, Ma Lei asked Ainz Ooal Gown:

"Lord Ainz, the Papal States are located very close to Nazarick. How should we deal with them? Given their power, they might clash with us."

Whether in games or novels, the holy and the undead seem to be irreconcilable enemies.

Ainz was extremely conflicted, feeling like his mind was a complete mess.

He was just an ordinary office worker, and on weekdays he was responsible for miscellaneous tasks and logistics at Ainz Ooal Gown.

The actual strategic planning and frontline combat were handled by the other guild leaders.

Upon hearing Ma Lei's question, he hurriedly reprimanded her:

"No! We can't afford to clash with them now!"

Ma Lei was so startled that she quickly bowed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but what if they attack us?"

Ainz seemed to realize that he had gone too far.

His tone softened, and he explained to Ma Lei:

“I know you can easily deal with that frost dragon, but you have to consider that the magic that instantly killed the dragon was a super magic, a skill that even you guardians cannot use, exceeding the tenth rank.”

"More importantly, the annihilation angels that appeared behind the so-called goddess, although their level is only around 80, there is no doubt that the Papal States of Britannia is closely related to that faith force in the Forest of Death."

"It's even possible that they, like us, are members of a guild that entered this world together with us...

"Albedo and I once visited their guild's stronghold, which had a fairly powerful holy magic defensive barrier."

"Even Albedo and I would have our strength suppressed to less than 7%."

"Moreover, the other party is a Holy class that focuses on faith, which has a strong suppressive effect on many of the Guardians of Nazarick. So, unless absolutely necessary, it is best to avoid conflict with them."

"Judging from the divine potion that Shi Yu... well, their Pope gave me, they shouldn't be a player faction that is prejudiced against the undead."

·· ········Requesting flowers····· ···

"So unless the other party provokes you, it's best to give way appropriately."

The many guardians below seemed somewhat disappointed by such a cowardly attitude, but the programmed instructions still made them bow in agreement.

Ainz, seeing their hurried and flustered state, said:

"Don't worry! It's not that we're afraid of them, it's just that I'm currently breaking through a bottleneck to recover my strength. Once I level up again, I'll be able to face them head-on."

"Although they are of the Holy Light type, judging from their positions, the strongest ones should be those few angels. They are only NPCs around level 80."

"The fact that the great mage loses her combat ability after casting a super spell means that her level is only a little over 70."

.... . 0

"Right now, the only thing we lack compared to them is a player who can cast super-tier magic. Once I level up, with the strength of Nazarick, even with attribute advantages, we will definitely not lose to them!"

The guardians below had their eyes light up.

As expected, I underestimated the wisdom of the Supreme Being!

Xiao Di was the first to stand up and excitedly said:

"I understand! We underestimated Lord Ainz's wisdom."

"Lord Ainz has always told us not to get into conflict with the Papal States. His deeper meaning is that he wants us to focus our attention on other kingdoms!"

"Lord Ainz's Death Ruler can create a large number of undead, but by using humans, only low-level undead with a level cap of 40 can be created."

"Therefore, we should turn our attention to those powerful, non-human races!"

"Furthermore, since the other party is a faith-based Papal States, they will inevitably develop followers to enhance their skills and strength."

"What we need to do is compete with them for the number of believers! Not clashing with the Papal States does not mean we will not be enemies with other kingdoms and empires."

"Moreover, there is already a religious nation called the Slane Theocracy in this world. They are essentially in the same industry as the Papal States and will definitely be enemies with each other in the struggle for faith."

"Befriend distant states while attacking nearby ones, then the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! When Lord Ainz returns to his peak, that will be the day the Papal States are destroyed! This is the plan Lord Ainz has set for us!"

"Right, Lord Ainz!"

Ainz Ooal Gown: "...???"

"Ah! Yes! You're absolutely right!"

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Clouds Rise in All Directions, Death and Despair, and the Platinum Dragon King!

Slien Theocracy,

Inside a magnificent cathedral,

A handsome knight with a sunny disposition was kneeling respectfully in a dark church.

What should have been a sacred place now appears incredibly dark and gloomy.

Several figures dressed in ceremonial robes stood in front of the altar.

A somber voice emanated from it.

"It now appears that the Sunlight Scripture of Negan was killed by this Axis cultist, and the artifact stolen by the traitor from the priestess princess of the Scripture of Radiance should be the culprit behind this massacre of the undead."

"There should be no second divine kingdom in this world. The Dark Scripture, bearing the title of the strongest in the Slane Theocracy, will be led by you, armed with the supreme artifact [Peerless Beauty], to subdue that so-called Water Goddess. Whether she is a true god or not, she should be at our service!"

The knight below bowed respectfully and replied:

"410." "I understand."

The knight withdrew from the hall.

In the corridor, I encountered a black-and-white hairy little girl holding a Rubik's Cube and spinning it continuously.

The knight greeted him with a smile:

"A Rubik's Cube? It brings back so many memories."

The little girl nodded: "It's easy to collect one side, but it's difficult to collect two."

Knight: "Hehe, maybe so. After all, it's a toy promoted by the six great gods who descended 600 years ago."

The little girl put away the Rubik's Cube and asked the knight with some curiosity:

"So what exactly happened? The high priest and the others have all gathered together."

The knight sighed helplessly: "I did submit a report."

The little girl said haughtily, "I didn't see it! It's easier to ask someone who knows the details. Are we going to find the seventh seat, 'Astrologist of a Thousand Miles,' for a divination?"

The knight nodded:

"This expedition is to bring the 'God' of the newly established Papal States of Yerantir under our control."

The little girl gave him a strange look: "God? Wasn't the original plan to control the Destruction Dragon King to go to war?"

The knight shook his head:

"The newly emerged Papal States of Britannia has greatly shaken the foundation of our Slane Theocracy's faith. Its widespread use of resurrection magic will cause the world to collapse. When people no longer fear death, they will lose the meaning of their faith."

What the knight didn't say was,

How can you control a group of fearless individuals through threats?

Once the line between life and death is blurred, it becomes a disaster for a faith like the Vatican.

Life and death should be controlled by the gods!

"God...is there enlightenment?"

The little girl asked with interest, "Who is stronger, her or me?"

The knight said with a hint of helplessness, "Perhaps it's you."

The little girl lowered her head, somewhat disappointed.

"Really? That's a real shame. I thought I was going to taste defeat. Speaking of which, the Sunshine Festival was completely wiped out too."

Knight: "Yes, it was done by that newly emerged Axis Church, I think it was their Pope."

"The Pope? Is he powerful?"

The knight shook his head: "The divination was ineffective; no specific information was obtained."

The little girl shook her head with some regret.

"If God isn't as strong as me, then the Pope is even less likely to become one, right?"

She gently stroked her fair belly, her expression becoming extremely eager.

"Isn't there a man who can beat me? No matter how ugly he is, no matter how twisted his personality is, even if he's not human, it doesn't matter! Because he's a man who can beat me, and how strong will his child be? Hey, aren't you curious?"

Seeing the loli's morbid remarks, the knight chuckled awkwardly twice:

"I'll go and relay the orders first."

"Tch, boring."

……

In another cave,

A huge white dragon was bathed in moonlight.

He slowly opened his eyes.

An elderly woman, well past seventy, emerged from the darkness.

"Long time no see, Charles."

The giant dragon before them was none other than Chaindulux White-Cion, the legendary son of the Dragon Emperor and one of the Thirteen Heroes!

The old woman opposite him was Riguri Belz Golan, one of the thirteen heroes and the Messenger of the Dead.
