In the Throne Hall, sitting on the throne, wearing an intricate, jet-black academic gown illuminated with golden and violet edges, I was looking at the screen projected in front of me.
----
Gift: Evolution of Sub-race [Elder Lich]
Confirm: Yes / No
Help Tip: Gather the floor guardians
----
This screen appeared out of nowhere after that voice suddenly entered my mind. It seems like a beginner package gift. But direct evolution? That seems overboard. Nevertheless, how can I reject such a generous present.
I knew that my race was [Overlord], which is the advanced version of [Elder Lich]. And by the appearance of this screen, I get the clear idea that, with the help of the system or that unknown entity, my abilities can also be improved.
Currently, I have two main sub-race: [Elder Lich] and [Skeleton Mage], which means [Skeleton Mage] can also be evolved if there is a further level for it. Let's call the floor guardians after a few hours. They're currently working on my orders, so it'll not be good for my image to change the orders frequently.
After contacting Albedo to gather all the guardians after two hours, I reminisce my stats before coming to this world as I couldn't see the game interface in this world.
[2 hours later]
All the floor guardians were kneeling in front of me to show their respect. I asked the respective guardians to report the status of their work.
"The new defence system is completed up to the fifth floor and my demon subordinates are continuing the work as per your orders, my liege." Demiurge reported with a grin on his face.
"The mission of hiding Nazarick has been completed, lord Momonga." Mare reported.
"You have done a great job. For this, I'm going to reward you." After saying this, I took out a ring and a box and said,
"This ring is for you Mare. It'll help you to move easily in the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
Then, the ring flew towards Mare. I could see the envious gaze of Albedo and Shalltear but ignored it and continued.
"And for you Demiurge, this box contains the seal to summon the 72nd spirit in the lesser key of Solomon, Andromalius."
In YGDRASIL, this box was given as a reward after defeating 100 demons in a day. It was an easy quest, so I obtained all of the demon seals available in the lesser key of Solomon. After receiving the box, Demiurge grinned even wider and said.
"It's an honour to receive such a valuable specimen. I'll not disappoint you, my lord."
He said it as a specimen. I knew he would weirdly misunderstand the reward but as a specimen, my prayers for you Andromalius. I look towards the guardians and summoned ring of administration.
"I look forward to it. Now, for Albedo, this ring will help you to administer The Great Tomb of Nazarick. Use it well." Saying that I threw the ring towards the sparkling Albedo.
"Thank you lord Momonga. I'll treasure it as a part of my own body."
I ignored her infatuation for the time being and continued saying.
"Another reason I've gathered all of you here is to inform you that, I'll go through evolution and there'll be some changes in me. So, protect me for the time being and don't allow anyone to interfere with the evolution."
Looking at the guardians, all of them were astonished and amazed. Then, Albedo said with a happy tone,
"As you order, lord Momonga. We're looking forward to the new change."
Hearing that, I selected 'Yes' on the screen in my vision and suddenly a gold aura started covering my vision and I could only see the screen.

Then, My body started to change. I felt the adding of masses to my skeletons but I didn't feel any pain. It might be due to some resistance stats. Then, a few minutes later, the golden aura in my vision disappeared and started to stabilize with my evil aura.
I also realized that my jet-black gown was transforming itself into a black colour thick layer of cloth that attached to my skin. Then, a magnificent golden armour manifested covering my whole body.. The golden designs were also being engraved partially on my arm-pits, shoulder, chest and knees. At the same time, the dark evil aura was also being absorbed in to my body.
A large amount of evil aura and golden aura flew towards my head. Golden aura settled on the internal organs and tissues forming [Holy Organs], then evil aura formed the pale blue-jade like skin. Due to the effect of [Extremely Evil Karma], three pairs of horns began to emerge, one of them was like fins, making me look like an incarnation of the sea demons.

Then, One of the [Seven Deadly Sins] also started to flow into the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, which was floating on the side. It slowly started to transform into the sorcery staff of silver colour with sharp edge. The entwined seven serpents which hold a jewel of a different color melted into an orb of vast magical powers.
[Transformed_Guild_Staff.jpg]
The golden aura oozing out from my body showed the dignity of a king and the evil aura surrounding me gave the impression of a king heading towards the battlefield. I looked like the lord who was the epitome of evil.
After an hour of the evolution period, a new screen appeared in my vision.
----
[Upgrade]
Equipment:
[Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown]- Flow of [Wrath] ⥅ Increase in destructive power
Passive Skill:
[Lord's Ambition]- Shows the elegance of King
[Sacred Flow]- Allow you to control the flow of [Seven Deadly Sins]
[Personate]- Creatures with [Karma] above negative 400 won't be able to see your [True Form], unless they are level 85+.
Active Skill:
[Wrath of Gods]- Converts emotion into the destructive power
----
So, The [Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown] had transformed to suit my body structure with some upgrades. According to the information that suddenly appeared in my head, the flow of [Wrath] increases provides buff to every offensive attack from the staff. It doesn't only include direct attack. The summons from the guild staff will also be buffed up.
It's a great increase in power, even if its +1 in offensive stats. There are many functions of guild weapon, and all of them will receive buff. The power of the flow of [Wrath] is terrifying. So, to control its flow in the staff, a new passive skill [Sacred Flow] is added. There is also [Lord's Ambition] which helps me show the dignity of a king. Well, I've gained a new body and a lot of powerful abilities.
The last passive skill [Personate] functions to hide my [True Form]. It seems that creature with [Karma] above negative 400 won't be able to handle the [Extremely Evil Karma] that had broken through its limit cap. So, the people who aren't on the same level of [Karma] or haven't reached level 85 would see a handsome man with white face, long black hair and red eyes wearing golden black armour.
[Form_of_Personate.jpg]
After confirming the state of my body, I looked in front of me where all the guardians were on their one knee with their heads down. They were showing respect and admiration for me.
"You can raise your head." My tone was also changed into more authoritative ones.
"Congratulations on the success of the evolution, lord Momonga." All the guardians gave their congratulatory words, then I realized something. Momonga was not that of a name suitable for a king. Although I know my guildmembers won't be in this world, I've the urge to spread the name of the guild. So I decided to change my name today.
"Hear me, my guardians. From this day onward, Ainz Ooal Gown will be my name. Let the world know its greatness." I said with arrogance as it was god's decree, and I was god himself. Then, all the guardians said in unison.
"""We will abide by your order, lord Ainz."""
They all looked like the proud subjects, happy for receiving the honour of serving the Master of Supreme Beings. Albedo was struggling hard to suppress her lust whereas Shalltear was silently easing her head. It looks like her underwear went through another crisis. Aura was showing an excited face while Mare was delighted. Cocytus was overflowing with proud composure and Demiurge had a wide grin on his face.
[A/N: The amount of [True Holy Light] stored in organs of [Satanael] only increases the ability to use holy magic slightly due to [Satanael] being a fallen.]
