So, with the spread of magic fluctuations, the huge invisible sphere that almost stopped everything and almost covered the entire royal city began to shrink rapidly.

The breeze blew again, the branches and leaves in the courtyard shook again, and the air continued to flow silently.

Even the annoying snoring of the old king, who was sitting on the throne and sleeping soundly, reappeared.

But when the scope of this invisible sphere of silence was about to shrink to Ji Guoyuan who was standing still in the midair, a whisper sounded just in time.

"'Judeka's Freeze Time Stop'."

The next moment, the shrinking invisible sphere stopped instantly.

Then, under Demiurge's stunned and shocked eyes, it began to rapidly expand again.

"Don't lift this yet, otherwise I think Ji Guoyuan will continue to fight with you in a while, and I won't be able to fight at that time."

Gavan, who felt that nearly a quarter of the energy stored in his body disappeared in an instant, and was still being consumed, also said helplessly.

However, using this magic to stop time, the required consumption seems to be unexpectedly much less than that of particle movement.

Well, it seems that another good skill has been prostituted for nothing, Jiafan thought in his heart.

But his words were ignored by Demiurge.

Looking around for a while, looking at the still world around him that was indeed caused by his own unique magic, Demiurge's face showed a dazed look for the first time.

"Impossible, why... wait, no!"

Suddenly reacting, as if he had discovered something, Demiurge suddenly looked up, and saw an old tree with a dense canopy slightly swaying in the wind inside the royal city in the distance.

"The coverage is only one-third of what I released, and the intensity has been reduced a lot, and it can't affect me. It can only be regarded as a fake product, but even so, it is still unbelievable... .”

After thinking about several possibilities and directly rejecting them all, the strongest demon, Demiurge, once again looked at the dark-eyed man in a blue and white robe with a complex expression. Humanity.

Can't help but ask.

"Human, how did you do it?"

As for this, Gavan, who didn't know how to explain it in various senses for a while, seemed to give up something after subconsciously turning around in place with a tangled face.

Staring at the confused demon in front of him, he said frankly with a tired face.

"I'm a friend of that Momonga guy."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"You mean... you're a friend of 'Fong Squirrel'?"

This unexpected answer made Demiurge's body freeze.

Slowly retracting the devil's wings behind his back, he was silent for a while, and then bowed slightly in a stiff, polite way.

"Humans, no, it's Your Excellency, may I ask...your name?"

"Gavan, it's our first meeting, Demiurge." Gavan smiled lightly, and replied politely.

It's just that his eyes subconsciously moved away a little. After all, in his eyes, the figure of the other party was just a "shadow" of pitch black, very pure black.

He doesn't like to look at this kind of "thing", even if...

There is also a little inexplicable, "translucent" that has never been seen before, and "light gold" that seems to represent a certain obsession.

And Gavan's subconscious reaction also caused Demiurge, who had been watching him all the time, to frown slightly.

He could see that the other party looked away not because of a guilty conscience, but because of...

Some kind of instinctive dislike?

"Your Excellency Jiafan, I didn't expect you to know your name. This really surprised me, but let me ask first..."

The invisible and subtle detection magic was released, and Demiurge said with a cold smile on his face.

"Are you sure, you are a friend of Lord 'Ainz'?"

When he asked this question, he hid behind the round-rimmed glasses, his diamond-like colorless eyes stared intently at the other person's eyes, so as not to miss any emotion that the other person might express subconsciously.

But Gavan was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, that guy still uses this name after he goes back? Although it's not that he doesn't understand, well, forget it, he is indeed one of the few friends I have, even if the relationship is not very good."

"Oh... Could you please elaborate?"

The casual tone, the meaning revealed in the words, and the unreasonable power shown by the other party just now made Demiurge's voice unconsciously tinge with respect.

He is confirming the real identity of the other party.

"There's nothing to say about it. All in all, Momonga always grabs slime hugs from me, which makes me hate him every time we meet."

When he said this, Gavan unconsciously took on a depressed look, but he didn't notice that the metal tail behind Demiurge was trembling slightly.

The slime that Ainz-sama can rush to hug... Are you talking about Bubble Teapot?

Their subordinates are also aware of the close relationship between the two Supreme Beings, and the man in front of him can still call the name "Fong Squirrel" and know his name. Fake egalitarian tone, and...

After going back?

Demiurge noticed this passage in the other party's words keenly, and the information revealed in it made him feel silent.

Ainz-sama once disappeared suddenly in the Great Tomb for 24 hours, and those 24 hours brought panic and despair to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, even he who thought he could maintain absolute rationality was unwilling To think back even for a second.

But fortunately, Ainz-sama returned in the end.

Even if the adult didn't explain where he went at that time, he just said that he went to meet his friends so that they don't have to worry, but as the people who serve the Supreme Being and the guardians of the hierarchy, none of them can encourage Gather the courage to ask where the other person went.

Demiurge once speculated that Ainz-sama must have gone to meet some Supreme Being who had abandoned the Great Tomb, or the world they used to be in.

This can explain why the lord spoke so vaguely, but he didn't dare to confirm it with the other party, because...

He was afraid of the last Supreme Being left in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, so he left and abandoned them.

He could not bear the dire consequences of this possibility.

But now, all the information revealed in the man's words in front of him matched up, but the aura emanating from the man's body did not belong to any one of the 41 supreme beings.

If it is the Supreme Being face to face, even if it changes the revealed form and their own unique aura, it is absolutely impossible for those who serve the Supreme Being to fail to recognize or admit their mistakes.

"...Excuse me, Your Excellency Gavan, I need to go back to the 'Alpha Ruins' and ask Lord Ainz for you, please?"

Demiurge bent down respectfully, and asked in a very natural tone.

"Remains? You changed the name of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick???"

Gavan subconsciously showed astonishment, but at this moment Demiurge finally confirmed that the person in front of him was a friend rather than an enemy.

Although the specific identities are still uncertain, they should indeed be friends of Ainz-sama, and even... may know the whereabouts of other supreme beings.

After thinking up to this point, Demiurge finally showed respect from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Excellency Jiafan, I hereby sincerely apologize for my previous disrespectful behavior, and Mr. Ji Guoyuanyi seems to be your friend, as well as the damaged weapon... Please accept my apology .”

Out of nothingness, he took out a bronze-colored saber handle, with a dark red tinge, and a ghastly white sword on the blade. Demiurge let it go away by itself.

This is a legendary magical weapon.

The name of the knife "Buddha Kill" was thought up by a certain patient with the second illness in one night.

Apart from the few artifacts bestowed by Urbert-sama, who created him, and the "Final Battle - Evil", this is already the most valuable item on his body.

"Uh...then I'll accept it."

In this regard, Jiafan, who was not used to accepting gifts, was just about to subconsciously say no, when he caught a glimpse of the sun wheel broken knife out of the corner of his eye, he immediately realized that he was taking the initiative to pay for the weapon.

So he nodded and caught the handle...

"Zi-"

A slight sound like sulfuric acid erosion came from the hand holding the handle of the knife.

After realizing that the person holding him seemed to be a "scumbag" in swordsmanship, the "Buddha" with certain biological characteristics and vague consciousness immediately shook violently, and began to continuously release magma-like high temperature and energy erosion.

"..."

Feeling the continuous increase of energy in his body, Gavan looked down expressionlessly.

For some reason, he suddenly had an illusion that it was this knife...

Seems to despise him?

"... Nima."

Jiafan said speechlessly with a motherly expression on his face: "Don't make trouble."

The inexplicable fluctuations spread, and the dark red sword in his hand was forced to be obedient, as quiet as a dead thing.

After looking at the broken knife with the same disgust for a while, Jiafan didn't bother to continue holding this broken thing, and directly said a position exchange, so that Ji Guoyuan, who was in a static state, held the broken knife with both hands. Dark red sword.

Then Gavan took a closer look at the sun wheel knife with only a small blade remaining in his hand, and the clearly visible four characters "killing evil spirits" engraved on it.

He also carefully put it back into the handle of the knife on Ji Guoyuan's waist.

Because even a layman like him can see that this is a pretty amazing knife.

Regardless of material.

After quietly watching Gavan finish all this, Demiurge bowed respectfully again and extended an invitation.

"Excuse me, is Your Excellency Gavan going to visit the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick? Presumably Ainz-sama will be happy to see friends visiting."

"This... let's wait another day, I have something to do recently."

Gafan, who had fully confirmed that there would be no fight, breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time showed some confusion: "Although I don't like this world very much, and I don't want to stay longer, I still want to meet my friends. "

this world?

After pondering these words several times in his mind, Demiurge said with a smile: "If your Excellency Gavan is busy with troublesome things, do you need my help?"

"No need, I just have to find another person, and soon, I will be your guest at your place."

"I see, I understand... You are welcome at the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, and I will definitely treat you well and politely when the time comes."

"Well, it's done, I'll go find Momonga for a meal then."

"Haha, Your Excellency Jiafan's words are really humorous, so I will take my leave first, and hope to ask you a few more presumptuous questions then."

Gavan, who was suspended in mid-air, couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he saw Demiurge bowed his head politely and said goodbye at the end.

"Phew—it's a good thing we didn't start a fight, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to take action against Momonga's subordinates. It's fine now, but that guy has a bad face, but he's really polite."

He muttered a few words to himself, and stretched greatly.

Gavan, who finally solved the troublesome incident and completely relaxed, looked at the blood-soaked, motionless figure holding the knife beside him, and also showed a kind and helpless smile.

"Jiguoyuanyi... I didn't expect that the person who was implicated and passively traversed this time was you. I also watched half of the battle just now. You are really a very powerful person. .”

After a little sigh of emotion, Gavan looked at the still environment around him, and saw that the weird film that sealed the isolated space hadn't dissipated, and after confirming that everyone in the entire royal city was still in a coma.

He didn't hesitate anymore, he just snapped his fingers, and the time around him began to flow again.

Then, next, he had to think about how to explain to Ji Guoyuan that the other party came to this world because of him...

"Slay the evil spirits!"

"Qiang——"

The moment the time flow resumed, a dark red long knife was swung directly in front of Jiafan who was still thinking.

"Bang!!!!"

next moment.

Dust rose.

The thick wall of the royal city collapsed for a while.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Demiurge, who had just returned from the ultra-long-distance teleportation, stood alone in a certain passageway, leaning against the wall with a rare look of fatigue, and adjusted his round-rimmed glasses without saying a word.

The elegant smirk that he usually maintains has long since disappeared at this time.

He looked up at the ceiling of the passage silently, not knowing what he was thinking, or it was rare that he was just in a daze.

After a long time.
