628. Earth 2138

"Granpa, how much longer do we have to fly? I am bored." Thea complained.

"Since when did flying get boring? Look down there at that man, he's trying to steal that woman's pouch." Alexander pointed his finger down. Then he just flicked towards the thief and he fell as soon as he stole the pouch and got caught.

"See, how can this be boring?" Alexander asked. But she was looking somewhere else.

"Woah... look, Granpa, that castle is so big. Can we go there?" Thea insisted.

"Sure, the magic marker is pointing to there too. I think Hela is also there." Alexander sped up.

Soon, a ground came in his view where he saw a huge winged tiger. Besides the tiger was a woman in all black clothes.

"There she is, that's your aunt, Hela," Alexander said.

*WOOSH*

He landed beside Hela, shocking many people there.

"Hello, my child." As soon as Alexander's voice came, a smile appeared on Hela's face. She turned to him and gave him a hug.

"Hello, Grandpa. I'm very well." She greeted.

"Grrrrr,"

"Oh, Mira says hello too." Hela translated her tigress.

Alexander laughed and gave Mira a big loaf of meat. "Now, Hela, meet Thea. She is your niece. Loki and Medusa's daughter,"

Hela and Thea looked at each other's faces intensely.

"You are pretty, Aunt Hela," Thea said with a radiating smile. The cuteness was overkill for anyone with a weak heart.

~So... cute.~ she muttered to herself and quickly picked Thea in her arms.

"And you are very cute, Thea. How old are you?" Hela asked.

Thea tried to remember and finally showed two fingers, "Ummm... TWO."

...

Meanwhile, Ainz was questioning his sanity. He was feeling so threatened by this old man that he was scared to even run away. This was not because he was scared from the mind but because his body was scared for some reason. It felt like Alexander was the biggest enemy of the undead. He felt like Alexander was the polar opposite of his very existence.

~Who is this now? Another player?~ he wondered.

Eventually, he caught Alexander's attention. But, what Alexander said scared him the most.

"Who are you? What's with that costume?" Alexander asked.

"Haha, this is my real body," Ainz replied, trying to keep the charade going on.

"Don't lie. I can feel you have a human soul. How can a human soul be inside an undead?" Alexander commented.

If Ainz could sweat, this was when he would. ~I don't think he is a player. Then who?~

"Who are you?" Ainz inquired.

"Oh, I am Alexander, a god and a proud grandpa," Alexander said and picked Thea up in his arms and rubbed his beard on her cheeks. His beard was long so it was more like a soft cushion that only made Thea giggle.

"I have come to this world to purify it. Now, I feel a lot of evilness from you. Your sins are also very high. Do you have anything to say before I remove you?" Alexander asked.

Ainz wasn't going to let himself die so easily. But he didn't know how strong the other party was. ~I should go with my strongest ability.~

The Goal of All Life is Death was his strongest ability. It lets the user become a true lord of death, a life-consuming Eclipse. It strengthens the instant death effect of magic and skills to the point of bypassing any immunity or resistance and killing their targets after a certain amount of time has passed.

The cool-down of this special skill was a 100-hour duration but Ainz was ready to bet on it.

He was pinning all his hopes on this one move. So, he silently cast this magic along with instant death magic called Cry of the Banshee. A Spell which can cause Instant Death.

But, even after 5 seconds, nothing happened, Alexander was still standing there with Hela and Thea. 10 seconds passed and still, nothing happened. Soon a minute passed. His jaw fell and the light in his eye vanished in shock.

Finally, Alexander spoke, "If you are done with these little games, let's go somewhere private and talk."

Ainz was taken aback but he was not out of sense. He quickly invited him into his castle. If he couldn't defeat then it was better to befriend this person somehow. Anyway, to him, Alexander was an original being of this world so he believed he could be reasoned with his futuristic intellect.

Ainz took Alexander to a private room. He did not let any guardian follow him in.

Alexander instantly got to the point, "Why do you have a human soul? I want the truth."

Ainz frowned internally. He didn't want to tell the truth but he wondered if the person had the ability to a certain truth.

"Do not think of lying to me. I can catch them easily." Alexander warned him.

Ainz sighed, looked around and then spoke, "I am not from this world. I believe my soul was transferred into this body and I got transported here with my Great Tomb of Nazarick."

"Hmm, so a transmigrator. Did you choose this body?" Alexander inquired. He wondered if he had died and got some kind of wish fulfilment.

"No, I was a human and played a game in which this was my character and all the others were the NPC. The game was supposed to go offline permanently but I slept through it and when I woke up, I found myself here." He revealed. Though he didn't say that he had changed some of the character settings. That detail was not necessary.

"Hmmm... weird circumstances. I know of souls being transmigrated after asking for a wish from a god or demon. But your case is so strange. You automatically got here. But all things aside, why did you kill so many humans? Aren't you a human too from the inside?" Alexander inquired.

Ainz scoffed, "Huh, what humans? All are living for themselves. People are selfish. This was the case in my previous world and here too."

"What happened to your previous world?" Alexander inquired.

*Sigh* He knew he couldn't get out of this without telling. He had been casting all kinds of magic all this while and none of them had worked on Alexander.

"I came from the year 2138 of Earth. It's a planet where magic and..."

Alexander interrupted him, "I know where the Earth is. I've been there but that was back in 2020. What has changed there since then?"

Ainz was honestly shocked. Till now, he was thinking that he was in some kind of an alternate reality where earth just developed differently but it seems he was in the same universe but just a different planet.

"My original name was Suzuki Satoru. I was a citizen of Japan. The year 2138, the destruction of the environment had continued at ever-increasing speed to the point where the surface of the Earth was hopelessly polluted. Gorgeous nature existed only in video games. It was a hellhole.

"The sky was always hidden behind black smog, while the sun making only brief appearances every now and then. Thick, toxic fog frequently covered the cities, so almost no one went out without wearing a gas mask beforehand.

"Japan, in practice, was run not by the government but by corporations. Huge conglomerates had even altered the laws to be to the companies' advantages, and the reality was that they controlled the people." He started telling him about his original world.

The more Alexander heard, the worse he felt for the original inhabitants of Earth in this world.
