Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

"Zaratul, you're here!"

When he saw Saigo coming, Feishu felt like he had found his backbone. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the awkward atmosphere also dissipated.

"Well, how's it going, Momonga."

Saigo's demon eyes glanced at the many class guardians kneeling on the ground.

These guardians noticed Saigo's gaze, and their bodies that were kneeling on the ground tried to bend down in an arc, trying their best to express their humility.

"I have already asked Sebastian to conduct a basic investigation outside the Great Tomb. Now let Sebastian answer our questions."

Momonga spoke while trying to imitate the authoritative tone that Saigo had used when he ordered Albedo before.

At the same time, in Saigo's mind, Momonga's rather panicked voice was heard.

Although the game has changed and many game features are gone, the 'Private Message Chat' function is still there, which is really good news for Momonga.

"Zaratul, I have followed your instructions and tested the loyalty of these NPCs. For now, their loyalty seems to be fine."

"…But as you said, I wonder if the other members will add settings and attributes like 'traitor' when creating NPCs."

"You know, and I know, those guys might really do that!"

Feishu just felt a headache. In the past, Yggdrasills was just a game. Everyone liked to play tricks in the game, and it wouldn’t be a big problem anyway.

But now that the game has become a reality, some of the settings at that time may very likely become trouble.

"In the past, guild weapons could view NPC settings and modify them, but since the incident, this function has disappeared."

"...But the magic and props in our game can still be used. You are still the strongest in the world. This is really good news that makes me feel at ease."

With the hand speed he had honed from years of being single, Feishu typed words on the private chat in his mind.

Although Saigo really wanted to tell him that this game had a voice function, Momonga was probably used to it.

At this time, Feishu regretted it very much. If he had known this earlier, he would have carefully learned about all the NPCs in the guild beforehand.

In the past, NPCs were just set programs, and guild members never paid any attention to them.

If it weren't for the fact that all the class guardians were summoned this time, Momonga wouldn't even be able to recognize all of them, and couldn't even pronounce their names.

Saigo nodded imperceptibly.

He is a detail-oriented and very careful person.

In that cyberpunk society with rigid class structure, Xixiang's greatest strength, apart from his talent, was prudence, which allowed him to climb from the bottom to the top step by step.

He has only watched the first season of "Overlord" and knows nothing about the rest of the series.

Judging from the content of the first season, this is just a show that shows off.

But when everything in the anime becomes reality, Saigo has no choice but to be careful.

From a logical point of view, this world of swords and magic after the time travel does have existences that are comparable to Ainz Ooal Gown, or even stronger.

A very important question is why the Great Tomb of Nazarick was traveled through. If this mystery is not solved, people will always be wary.

Basic reasoning will tell us that the reason for the time travel must exist in this world of swords and magic, not in that cyberpunk world.

Furthermore, when he traveled through time, Ainz Ooal Gown's guild was already ranked outside the top 20.

The guilds ranked before Ainz Ooal Gown might also have time traveled through them.

The members of those guilds are not that scary, what is troublesome are those world-class items.

This is one of them.

The second is that the world where Saigo first appeared was a small garden, a place where Asuras, gods and Buddhas were flying all over the sky.

With his current abilities, Saigo can barely be considered one of the six great demons.

In that world filled with Asuras, gods and Buddhas, there are people who are as powerful as him or even stronger. I wouldn’t say there are many of them, but there are definitely quite a few.

What if an invincible monster appeared in this world and I was killed because I was not careful enough? That would be really laughable.

Therefore, Saigo not only did not find it funny that Momonga was fighting wits with the air, he even approved of it.

From a God's perspective, Flying Squirrel's behavior is a bit silly.

But in reality, people like Feishu can obviously live longer than anyone else!

Not only can I not defeat his battle of wits and courage with the air, I even have to support him.

You even have to set a delusional goal for yourself first. There are monsters in this world!

A great battle had once taken place in the arena on the sixth floor of the game. There were a total of forty-two VIP seats in the arena.

At this time, Saigo was sitting in his VIP seat, listening to Sebastian's report while thinking about his own things.

"Master Zaratul, Master Momonga, I have just led the Pleiades to investigate the area around the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick."

"...According to our investigation, the Great Tomb is no longer in Helheim of the Nine Worlds, but appears on a plain."

"This plain is not on our map. Apparently, as the two adults expected, the Great Tomb encountered an unknown incident."

"...We have discovered a human village on the plains. Please give us your instructions on what to do next!"

A handsome old man with white hair and beard, wearing a butler's uniform, was kneeling on the ground with one hand on his chest, giving a report in a serious and steady tone.

He is the butler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, named Sebastian, a standard butler name created by Tachi Mi.

Just like his creator, Takimi, he is a man who protects the weak and upholds justice.

Among the negative justice values ​​per capita in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, his justice value is the highest among the positive numbers, and he is also in the excellent camp. He is simply a rare flower in the mud.

If one were to say who in the big tomb was most likely to be the traitor, Saigo would think this old man was the first to bear the brunt of the blame.

However, Saigo knew that with Tachi Mi's personality, he would not set up those weird things in the NPCs he created.

Loyalty is also the justice that Takimi advocates. I am afraid the truth is that even if everyone betrays, Sebastian will not betray.

Hearing Sebastian's request for instructions, both Momonga and the guardian stewards subconsciously looked towards Xi Xiang.

In the past, whenever the guild had any activities, Saigo was always the one actually in charge.

The guardians who still have memories of the past will naturally obey Saigo's orders first.

As for Feishu, he is just an ordinary employee in reality. He has never been a leader and does not understand the art of leadership.

If it weren't for his skills that were always working and allowing him to always remain calm, he would have panicked and shown his weakness by now.

"Sebastian..."

Giving orders to people has long been Xixiang's habit and daily routine. He spoke slowly, reading the butler's name.

"I am here, Master Zaratul!"

Sebastian quickly lowered his head and listened to the revelation of the Supreme Being.

"you……"

Saigo was about to say something, but he paused, the dark flame under his hood fluctuated, and a feeling of joy appeared in his heart.

He suddenly sensed that there was a response from the darkness that nurtured him. Someone had accepted the invitation he had sent out!

Chapter 11: I am your most loyal dog!

Although I was surprised, I couldn't wait to see what was going on.

However, Saigo remained calm at this time.

He looked at several class guardians who were kneeling on the ground in front of him and expressing their loyalty to him.

The guardian of the first to third floors, Shalltear Bloodfallen, is a true ancestor of the vampire race. She looks like a noble and elegant aristocratic girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Cocytus, the guardian of the fifth layer, is a Zerg. He looks like a scorpion in human form, with special bones all over his body, and is brave and good at fighting.

Aura and Mare are the guardians of the sixth floor, and their race is dark elves.

Because of the maker's personal hobby of Bubble Teapot, Aura, as the older sister, is heroic and looks like a teenager.

As for the younger brother, Mare speaks softly and always wears women's clothes.

From this we can see the personality of Bubble Teapot himself.

The seventh floor's guardian, Demiurge, is a pure demon created by Ulbert, the 'world disaster' who is always at odds with Tachimi.

Together with Sebastian as the butler and Albedo as the general manager, these people are the most important members of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

As for the other members and class guardians, they are either mere alchemical products without self-awareness, or they are not suitable to leave the areas they are guarding.

After a moment's silence, Saigo slowly said, "...Now the most important thing for our Great Tomb is the lack of intelligence."

"...Now the Great Tomb has undergone a change and we have entered a different world, but we know nothing about this different world."

"Are the people in this world strong or weak? Will they pose a fatal threat to the Great Tomb? And..."

“…Since we, the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, have come here, does that mean that other guilds will also come here?”

“You should know that we, Ainz Ooal Gown, have never had a good relationship with other guilds. If we were to encounter them, it would probably be a brutal fight.”

Saigo's fingers of dark flame drummed on the armrests of the chair.

Based on some information he knew, he deduced that the 'Eight Desire Kings' in his impression was most likely the guild ranked in the top three in the game.

Just like Ainz Ooal Gown owns the Great Tomb, Saigo knows that the guild in front also has a guild headquarters like the Sky Castle.

In addition, since those guilds have a large number of members, there must be more guardians in the guild bases.

Although in terms of growth ceiling, Xixiang is far beyond these so-called players.

He has endless possibilities, while the strengths of these players are fixed.

But with his current strength alone, he cannot crush all the players of Yggdrasills.

He is invincible in a one-on-one fight, but if there are too many players at the maximum level and they have a bunch of strange props, Saigo can only avoid the attack temporarily.

Without Saigo, the guild was ranked ninth at the peak of Ainz Ooal Gown, but with him it was ranked seventh.

Xixiang knew that he was only as strong as two guilds and was only at the bottom of the top ten.

However, those leading guilds are not easy to deal with.

"If I had known this, I should have stayed at home longer and watched more animation. Now, I know nothing about the background of this world."

Saigo sighed helplessly in his heart.

What is the first season of Overlord about? Actually, nothing is said. The whole world background is still blank.

Saigo feels that his current situation is a warning to future generations, even if you go into social work, even if you are exhausted every day.

But don't forget your original intention, don't overwork yourself, take time to watch anime, read novels, and play games to relax.

In this way, even if you travel through time one day, you will be able to handle it with ease instead of facing the same dilemma as he is now.

“Shalltear, Sebastian, Demiurge!”

Saigo spoke slowly while thinking.

"My subordinate is here!"

The three people named by Saigo stepped forward, knelt on the ground with solemn expressions, and lowered their heads.

"Shalltear, you and Sebastian look the most like humans, and Demiurge, you are good at transformation magic, so you are suitable to blend into human society. The task of gathering intelligence will be left to you."

"...Those maids from the Pleiades could also be of some use."

After a pause, Saigo turned his head to look at the silent Momonga beside him and said, "...The task of handing over the information on exploring the new world is left to you, Momonga!"

"...As the general manager, you must fulfill your duties, and I will be responsible for the internal affairs of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick."

After hearing Saigo's order, Momonga panicked.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, his skill 'Forced Holding' came into play again, allowing him to calm down and avoid embarrassing himself in front of these guardians.

He quickly opened a private chat and said, "...What's going on, Zaratul! Why do you want me to be responsible for searching for external intelligence?!"

Saigo said calmly, "...Now there are only two of us with Ainz Ooal Gown, so of course you have to take responsibility. Besides, you are good at compiling intelligence, so it is most appropriate to give this part of the work to you."

In the past, the members of Ainz Ooal Gown had clear division of labor. For example, Saigo was in charge of the guild's overall strategy, while Momonga was responsible for collecting intelligence on the game and other guilds.

Others also have their own duties, and as for those who really have no special talents, they act as thugs.

"No, that's not what I meant. As the only two remaining members of the guild, I am of course willing to take on the work."

"...Just Zaratul, isn't it better for you to be in charge of external affairs? I'm not good at communicating with people, so it would be most reasonable for you to be in charge of external affairs while I stay in the Great Tomb!"
