Chapter 6 - Kaiser of Despair

"L-Lord Erix, do you know where lady bukubukuchagama went?" Mare asked wanting to know where her mother had gone. It was obvious that all guardians wished to know where their creator had gone and wanted to learn about their whereabouts to ensure their safety.

Erix didn't care much about how they missed them since they would become reliable in the new world for his goal. In the game of Yggdrasil they often bicker with his guild members in ways in handling raids and distribution of resources and rewards.

He did try his best to trick and manipulate them to ensure most if not all benefit is given to him but he made sure eto gain their trust to let their guard down. Therefore, if he ever had other members who would refute against him then it would be far too troublesome unlike the NPC who are loyal to him.

Erix would likely kill them if they were ever transported in the new world since they would get in his way. It was fortunate they all had gone to the real world.

"Yes, but I have no way of reaching out anymore. The reason why we are still alive is because I've vowed to save each and everyone of you even if your creator had placed their faith in me." It was no lie because they all gave permission to just mess with their things since it was all worthless now.

This meant their world item and other in-game items had been given to him that only made Erix more powerful. Erix plans on visiting the treasury and library later but he first would head towards his living quarter which was a hidden floor that he made.

"I learned of a way to save us and that was to face every final boss in the nine realm before facing the apocalyptic beast that was Ginnungagap where our battle shook the entire realm of Yggdrasil."

It was not a lie and had taken hours upon hours of timing and dedication that he managed to pull through overcoming the fight that almost was clutch but the reward paid off because he was technically the ruler of Yggdrasil now. He had use a special world Item called [ Peach of Immortality ] that allowed him to be invincible for 3000 in game hours accompanied by a world item called [ Crown of the Crimson Monarch ] that he personally requested using a world item, [ Ouroboros ] before the end of the game and the devs didn't care about balance anymore at that time.

The effect grants the user an increase in their base stats to 100x and removes the level cap. Additionally, any "conquered land"(Dungeons) that the user had attained would be immune to any debuff even if that is a world item. Considering the fact that he along with his guildmate conquered all final bosses within the nine Realms had allowed him to solo them with mid to high difficulty.

However, the final boss of all night realms resulted in desperate battle considering the [ Peach of Immortality ] was bypassed by Ginnungagap and force him to use other world Class items called [ Spear of Longinus ] that deleted his game character but he followed his gut feeling which works in his favor because the effect was nulled when he became the Monarch of Yggdrasil that rewarding him all ownership of all World class items.

Erix found it generous from the game developers and knew it was a way for them to thank him since he was the most dedicated player among them. It was pleasing to know since they thought it wasn't bad if the game balance is broken when the game is getting deleted anyway.

He stored all of them in his treasury and aimed to use them against someone like Guy crimson or anyone that would be troublesome to fight. Erix is too broken but all of the world items still likely have systematic algorithms compared to Ultimate skill that defies the world. He needs to take precautions against Guy with his ultimate skill to virtually copy and paste skills.

"In that moment when defeated that beast was where I received a way to save us and now we are here within an entirely new world to explore and conquer." The word conquer popped up and made Demiurge intrigued.

"Conquer, you say?"

"Indeed, I intend to spread the greatness of the great tomb of Nazarick and create my own empire in this world. Perhaps go beyond it and explore other worlds if possible." Erix excited at the thought of new challenges and the thrill of exploring new lands and conquering them. Every guardian was ecstatic and eager to execute his plan as early as they could.

"Yes, we shall show this new world of your brilliant my lord!" Shalltear spoke.

"Indeed, it is a blessing that this world shall fall under Lord Erix's reign. Whoever goes against his will shall perish." Albedo shared her thoughts and Erix nodded hearing their thoughts.

"I am pleased that all of you are eager, however, we shall take things slow and gather as much information as possible. It is best to stay cautious and take everything into consideration as it would be foolish to be arrogant rather than be confident."

Erix continued discussing the course of action like how Ainz did, carefully considering their thoughts making sure the Great tomb was hidden and protected before he's confident enough to fight Guy and Rudra.

He pondered why his status was different compared to the natives but didn't think too hard since his skills can be considered as Ultimate especially his racial and Job class. Erix is already prepared for this kind of scenario and confident in winning even if it's not confrontational.

"Finally, I have a question for the Guardians. To begin with, Shalltear…what kind of person am I to you?"

"An incarnation of beauty. You are the most beautiful person in the world. Even jewels pale in comparison to your snow-white body. The epitome of a man. The true eternal ruler of my heart "

Shalltear did not pause to think about her answer before she gave it. From the lack of delay in her reply, she must have been speaking from the heart. Albedo slightly flinched hearing her and wanted to refute but was already warned by Erix earlier.

"Cocytus."

"One. Who. Is. Mightier. Than. All. The. Guardians. And. Deserving. Of. The. Title. Of. The. Supreme. Monarch. Of. The. Great. Underground. Tomb. Of. Nazarick."

"Aura."

"A merciful leader with great foresight."

"Mare."

"A, a very gentle person."

"Demiurge."

"A wise leader who makes decisions and acts on them quickly. Truly, a man worthy of the title 'inscrutable.'"

"Slaanesh."

"Unparalleled power of depravity and carnage. Supreme existence who drown the Nine realm of blood and viscera. A ruthless and merciless yet caring and loving Monarch of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. A peerless entity worthy of the title [ Kaiser of Despair ]."

"Sebas."

"The one responsible for assembling all the Supreme Beings. In addition, the merciful leader who did not abandon us, but stayed by our side until the very end."

"And finally, Albedo."

"The man who rules over the Supreme Beings, and our highest, most exalted master. In addition, the man I love most deeply."

They all finished their thoughts and opinions of Erix Khan who took a moment until he loudly tapped his spear that echoed across the Amphitheater and released his Aura that made the Guardian his imposing power. He stood up and said.

"Your words of praise fill my heart with immense joy. I shall trust you that each and every last one of you shall accomplish the task I've given you faithfully. I'll be heading to the Nazarick library and contact me if anything happens. Sebas, bring these two goblins once you acquire every information from them. Use hypnosis magic instead of torture-"

"Ah, come on, Lord Father-"

"Patience now, daughter. If you misbehave then…"

Erix narrowed his gaze at his daughter who became docile and apologized for her action.

"Apologize, Lord Father. I have overstepped my boundaries."

"It is fine. I understand why you wish to torture as I made you that way. Worry not, there are always bandits and foolish idealistic heroes to be mercilessly tortured."

Slaneesh was happy to hear it and Erix turned his back, deleting the throne before teleporting towards the library as he decided to walk a bit towards the hallway meeting the homunculus maid who greeted him and opened doors for him.

"My lord, where are you heading? May I be of assistance?"
