As night gave way to morning, news of Albedo spending the night with Aurelius spread like wildfire throughout Nazarick.
While some offered their blessings, anticipating the possibility of an heir, others, like Shalltear and Luminous, shot Albedo daggers with their eyes, furious that she had seemingly cut them in line.
And it was only after Aurelius called Shalltear and Luminous separately into his office, soothing their jealousy and promising them their own nights with him soon, did they release a torrent of tears, collapsing to the ground before rushing to him, burying their faces in his arms in gratitude.
Once the situation was settled, Aurelius went back to his room, and his gaze swept over the colorful array of items in the adjacent dressing room.
Among the items—ranging from practical robes to ornate plate armor neglected due to lack of occasion—lay an assortment of weapons, from staffs to greatswords.
Despite the plethora of items stored in his [Subspace], the dressing room seemed to overflow with forgotten treasures.
Selecting a greatsword from the sea of weapons, Aurelius observed the silver-white blade shining in the light, the rune symbols engraved on it catching his eye.
He moved the hand holding the sword up and down.
Swoosh!
As he tested the weight of the blade, he found it astonishingly light—almost weightless.
"Mm, light as a feather."
The greatsword wasn't crafted from lightweight materials. Aurelius's own exceptional strength made its weight negligible.
In fact, Aurelius was only slightly inferior, or sometimes even equal, in strength to World Champions who boasted greater physical prowess and specialized classes.
This was partly due to a correction effect that amplified the dragon race's inherent advantages.
Though he had initially wanted to be a magic caster, his dragon race granted him proficiency in various fields, including that of a warrior.
Despite acquiring a range of class lines, his abilities leaned more towards warrior traits, resembling a hybrid rather than a pure magic caster.
Shaking his head at his unconventional strength, he sighed and handed the greatsword to Narberal Gamma, the maid standing nearby, instructing her to dispose of it.
"Take it away."
"Yes, Master," Narberal complied, stowing away the greatsword.
As she did so, a massive mirror on one side of the room caught Aurelius's reflection.
The image depicted his distinctive features: white-dyed hair, blood-red eyes, porcelain skin, pointed ears, a black cloak draped over his shoulders, and a jet black uniform.
A purple necklace, one of his favorite World Items, hung around his neck.
Originally, the number of world items he had in Yggdrasil was about 3.
One of the three World Items included this purple necklace.
But what about now?
He transferred to another world alone, without any other guild members, and gained ownership of all World Items in the Ainz Ooal Gown.
Practically speaking, it meant that he already had a myriad of World Items.
It must be noted that he was at that moment wearing three World Items.
——[Devil's Necklace]——
It removes Super-tier Magic's cooldown and usage restrictions. It raises magic damage to its highest level.
Usage: Unlimited, with no restrictions.
————————————
——[Lord of Destiny]——
A ring imbued with the power to shape destiny ensures the wearer's reign as an absolute being.
This item boasts a multitude of abilities, including the unique trait of reflecting debuffs.
Usage: Unlimited, with no restrictions.
—————————————
—[Dragon Demon Cloak]—
Forged through the fusion of dragon and demon energies, this World Item looks like a long, obsidian cloak, endowing its wearer an upper hand in dominance over opponents and exuding the charisma of the absolute, making everyone feel awe.
Though its precise effects remain shrouded in mystery, one confirmed attribute is its unparalleled enhancement of both physical and magical defenses to their utmost limits.
Usage: Unlimited, with no restrictions.

Shifting his gaze, Aurelius looked at the various divine-grade equipment items reflected in the mirror and decided to organize them later.
He put his hands together and touched the chin of Narberal Gamma, the black maid who stood beside him, lowering her head.
"Would you care to accompany me for some fresh air?"
"I—how could I presume to be on the same level as Aurelius-sama?"
"No, that's not it. I simply wish to enjoy the sky alone with you."
"The Royal Guard is already prepared..."
Narberal murmured softly, her head bowed.
Aurelius sighed at her response, his tone sharpening slightly as he spoke.
"Narberal. Must I repeat myself?"
"Oh, no, of course not..."
"Then, Narberal. I will only go with you. Dismiss the guards."
"Yes, Master."
Defeated, Narberal signaled the guards with magic, preparing to depart with Aurelius alone.
It had already been three days since Aurelius transferred to this New World.
Naberal trailed behind him as he walked, lost in thought.
After a little more time in the future, he had the idea to go to Carne Village at once.
He grabbed Narberal's slender shoulders and pulled her to his side.
Startled by his sudden movement, Narberal flinched, her bewildered gaze meeting his.
"Aurelius-Sama!"
"Stay there. Why are you so worried when you're mine? So stay there."
"Haha. Rather than humble beliefs... Albedo-Sama... Shaltear-Sama… Luminous-Sama..."
"Your value is determined by me. Whether it's Albedo, Shalltear, or Luminous, they're all beautiful, and I like them. But don't forget that you, Narberal, are included among them."
"Yes, Lord..! Oh, I understand!"
Narberal's cheeks flushed as if she might burst at his words.
With that, the conversation concluded, and Aurelius teleported with Narberal to the entrance of the first level of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. There, a scene similar to that of the anime unfolded as he encountered Demiurge, who insisted on accompanying him outside for safety.
Initially reluctant because he wished to wander with a beauty like Narberal, he eventually relented to Demiurge's persistence, instructing Narberal to await them outside.
Not because of Demiurge's insistence, but rather because Aurelius intended to plant the seeds of his future plans in Demiurge's mind during their journey.
"Let us proceed."
"I am delighted that you acquiesced to my persuasion, Aurelius-sama."
"It is of no consequence."
With a gracious wave of his hand, Aurelius emerged from the mausoleum alongside Demiurge. Immediately, words of admiration escaped his lips.
"It's breathtaking."
The well-manicured grass of the cemetery lent an air of freshness to the surroundings. Aurelius strolled across the lawn, his gaze fixed on the night sky as he spoke softly.
"This is just the beginning. The grand vision I have longed for and envisioned. It starts here, with me alone. Patience. The world awaits on the horizon."
Bathed in the enchanting glow of the evening sky, he gazed upwards, exhaling a sigh of awe before ascending into the clear night sky with the aid of the spell "Fly."
