"Given the current circumstances, I want to hear your suggestions. What do you think is the best course of action moving forward?"
Albedo and Sebas exchanged glances briefly before Albedo stepped forward
"Renz-sama, we should do the pre-emptive attack and annihilate the humans before they even find out about us being here"
My eyes widened at Albedo's suggestion, and cold sweat started coming out of my body, seeing how excited she looked while suggesting it
Nazarick did have a great advantage against Konoha if a fight ever broke out, with the element of surprise, and since most of the strongest beings in Nazarick could fly and attack them with different spells from the sky
I even remember Konoha being obliterated by a palm strike from above, and two leaders being captured after containing an explosion that came from the sky, which would have devastated the village
With the entire Nazarick's collective power, we should be able to do more than that
But we will be branded as the enemy of all the other villages, not to mention that most of the important characters, along with some of my favourite ones, call the village their home
More importantly, some of the denizens here might also die even if we launch a sneak attack, and if some ninjas manage to escape, they will surely take their revenge on us
I don't want to find out who is the strongest between the ninjas of this world and the beings of Nazarick anytime soon
Since both sides have their plot armour, I'll probably die again before finding out who the winner is
Having said that, I cannot blame Albedo for suggesting it
Since she is created as a demon who thinks lowly of all beings that are not part of The Great Tomb of Nazarick, naturally, she will think lowly of the humans living in Konoha
Now that I think about it, what am I?
I don't seem to be an Undead like the original main character, as I can clearly feel my heart beating
I also don't seem to be a human, judging from how Albedo casually talks about annihilating all of them
I looked at Sebas, wondering if I'm like him, a creature that could transform into a human
But how can I transform back if I don't even know what I am? Damn
"Sebas what do you think we should do?"
"My lord, I have no suggestions and will only follow your command"
I nodded and smiled at him teasingly. I really wanted to say 'whatever you say, old man,' But I decided to hold back
I know that he is compassionate towards humans and dislikes unnecessary killing, especially if unprovoked; however, he is merciless to those who deserve it
He surely wanted to suggest a more peaceful approach, but decided to keep it to himself
While looking at Albedo, I shook my head and said
"We cannot attack the village below Albedo, as I said earlier, there are a lot of villages like this one, we cannot be the enemy of the entire world, at least not for the time being."
"May I ask, what do you plan to do with them, Lord Renz-sama?"
"It would be better to form an alliance with them since this world isn't peaceful, and that village has enemies. One more friend is one less enemy"
I signed and thank god I had the time to re-watch the entire series of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, since, by the looks of it, based on the stone face that hasn't been destroyed yet, we were transported here before the start of the 4th Great Ninja War
I also have seen some familiar faces before while browsing the mirror of remote viewing, who look like they were still in their mid-teens. If my calculation is not wrong, there's still a couple of years before the start of the 4th Great Ninja War
Albedo beamed with joy
"So you are planning to use the humans below as your pawns instead of killing them, Lord Renz-sama. As expected of you, your use for humans is truly admirable"
I started to sweat coldly again and could only nod while thinking that if some die-hard Naruto fans heard her saying things like that, she would surely be attacked by them
However, from the point of view of someone who doesn't know the main and supporting characters of Naruto, it is a logical suggestion as the beings residing here in Nazarick have a variety of ways to entice weak-minded people
Just like in the Anime, Albedo is indeed an evil, a really beautiful and seductive evil succubus who is devoted to me, their leader
I started to think deeply about what albedo said, I did know the past, present, and future of almost all of the characters in Naruto, which I could use as an advantage
"Yes, I plan to use them as my pawns"
Although I don't have a specific goal in mind, forming a good relationship with the village below is my priority
Indulging Albedo with her idea about making the humans below as pawns, for the time being, is also not a bad thing, as most denizens here think like her and only a few of them, like Sebas, respect the lives of the humans
Things will be easier to explain if they think I'm only using the humans as my pawns
While slowly changing their minds that not all humans are lowly beings, especially if they face some of the most powerful ninjas of this world
"Lord Renz-sama, should I fetch some humans for you?"
By fetch she surely means to kidnap someone. This woman really got no chills
"*cough* Don't do anything for now, Albedo, and let us observe them first"
"As you say Lord Renz-sama"
My head started to hurt just thinking about how we could integrate into this world without bloodshed
Since most being here are from different races like demons, monsters, and undead, they will most likely stand out once they leave Nazarick
I realise that this is beyond my capability to handle, but since I have subordinates like Albedo and Sebas who are used to fending off invaders in their former world, it will probably be better to let them handle everything for the time being while I figure out my thoughts
"Albedo, contact all the floor guardians and raise the alert level of Nazarick to the maximum"
Her expression became serious, and she nodded, "As you say, Lord Renz-sama," Then put her fingers near her ear; she must have started contacting the other floor guardians
Most of the floor guardians have a skill called Message, allowing them to telepathically contact each other even at a long distance
And for those who couldn't, they could use a magic scroll that had the skill Message imbued to it
I should be able to use Message as well, but sigh, I guess I'll figure it out later along with other things
Albedo is the leader of the floor guardians and also the 2nd highest ranking in Nazarick, right after me
As for the floor guardians, they are all level 100 like her, except for one. They are in charge of protecting specific floors of Nazarick from intruders
Each floor's guardians have their troops at their disposal, and as their leader, naturally, I can command them and their troops as I please. At least that's how it's supposed to be
"Sebas"
"Yes, my lord?"
"You will monitor the mirror of remote viewing and inform me or Albedo if an intruder enters Nazarick"
"I shall do as you say, my lord"
Sebas walked towards me and started moving the mirror of remote viewing, he easily browsed it around Konoha and the stone faces where the Portal, which serves as an entrance to The Great Tomb of Nazarick, is located
While Albedo is busy talking to the other floor guardians and Sebas on browsing our surroundings, I decided to walk around the 10th floor, appreciating how mesmerising it is
Then my focus shifted to the rings that I am wearing, and one of them piqued my attention
It's a silver wrought ring with an amethyst embedded in the centre. As I stare at it, a blue screen pops out
[Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown]
[Use for travelling within The Great Tomb Nazarick. It allows the wearer to travel instantaneously anywhere within the confines of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, except in a few specific areas.
'Teleport?'
I tried using the Skill Teleport while thinking of my room, copying what the main character did in the anime Overlord
'Teleport'
After trying it for the 2nd time, my vision became blurry as it changed from being in the Throne room to being in a hallway with multiple doors on each side
I entered the door closest to me, which I assumed was my room and closed the door.
The inside of my room was painted black, almost like the night sky on a moonless evening and on the walls are two mesmerising violet lamps illuminating the simple room
However, what caught my attention was the Red Flag hanging beside my bed with my name on it
I picked it up with my trembling hands
This red flag symbolised the 41 players who created all the living and none living residing here at The Great Tomb of Nazarick, which means I truly have replaced the original main character
I sat at the edge of the bed and covered my face with both of my hands, There's so many things that happened to me in such a short time, I haven't had the time to process them all
From someone who was dying in a hospital bed, now I'm the leader of a group of powerful species, and not only that, we are now located above the stone faces of Konoha
'damn what a crazy day and its not even over yet'
