Chapter 168 ~ NPC

Nothing seemed to change. 

No unexplainable gust of wind. No dizzying headache. No shift in their surroundings. 

They were still in the throne room within the deepest level of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick with Albedo, Sebas, and the Pleiades battle maid sisters. 

One moment, they could still see the HUD game UI in their field of vision, showing their HP, MP, chat logs, minimap, and the server time. 

But in a literal blink of an eye, the UI was no longer there. Everything vanished. 

They all looked around, and while they didn’t see any changes to the throne room and the inanimate objects around them, they noticed, with their immensely enhanced senses, the slight changes in expression upon the previously inanimate NPC characters, that should’ve been impossible had it been a game. 

Momonga was not surprised or confused as he was in the anime. For he knew this would happen. 

He did not know how to precisely describe this feeling he was experiencing… At this point, he didn’t even know if he was even feeling anything at all. 

But perhaps, if he was forced to put the feeling he’s experiencing now into words, it would be… conflicted. 

On one hand, despite knowing full well of its inevitability, he was still saddened and disappointed that the game he had poured his entire life into and where he had met his dear friends in, had ended. 

In addition, the fact that none of his past guildmates actually come to stay with him until the end also caused him great sadness. 

But on the other hand, knowing he had been transported to the new world with his new friends from the group chat had given him hope, excitement, and happiness, knowing he could relive the shining, exciting times exploring the vast new world and uncovering its secrets with them. 

At the very least, he wouldn’t be alone anymore. 

Lelouch, Aika, and Yuuji were also unsurprised by their sudden transfer to the new world. 

But unlike Momonga, they were certainly more excited and interested in the new world and the underground tomb they would be calling their home from now on during their stay in this world. 

After all, although they’ve seen the major parts of it from the anime, they had never seen every single aspect of it which may be of interest to them. 

Even if there wasn’t, finding out that was the case would surely bring them great excitement in of itself. 

But for Yuuji, there was something that interested him more at this very moment. 

That was, the fact that they did not feel anything when they were suddenly transported to the new world. 

“This is… Interesting”

Yuuji couldn’t help but mutter under his breath. 

He had teleported several times to different worlds. Perhaps it was due to the memories, information, and power he received upon transferring there that his travel would always be accompanied by a searing headache. 

But this time, there was nothing. Not even the slightest sensation or sign of something being amiss. 

In one moment they were in the game. And in the next, they’re simply in the new world. 

“What’s wrong, Yuuji-sama?”

All four immediately turned their gaze towards the beautiful, jet-black haired succubus and Guardian Overseer who responded to Yuuji’s mutterings. 

Their eyes all locked onto her very being, scrutinizing every inch of her expression, as they stared at her in silence for a moment. 

However, despite receiving the intense gaze of four supreme beings at the same time so suddenly, and being subjected to a silent observation from them, Albedo didn’t seem to show any changes in demeanor or expression. 

The beautiful smile one would mistake as an angel’s was still ever present on her expression. A mask nigh impenetrable.

But inwardly, her mind spun at tremendous speeds, trying to think of something that might cause Yuuji-sama, the most powerful supreme being to have ever lived, to say such a thing. 

As the Guardian Overseer of Nazarick who took pride in her position and intelligence, she could not accept the fact that something that caused the most powerful supreme being to say such a thing happened without her knowledge. 

How could she? As one designed and created to be the “Guardian Overseer” with outstanding intelligence and combat ability, the one who shall defend and manage the home of the 41 Supreme Beings, she could not accept the fact that something happened that might cause unrest, even in the slightest, to the supreme beings.

Yet… shameful as it was, she could not think of anything. And such, she stayed silent, waiting for Yuuji to enlighten her shamefully blind self. 

She was afraid of having failed him… And by extension, them… 

No amount of punishment would equal her own shamefulness and anger at herself for not being able to live up to a Supreme Being’s expectation, especially the greatest one. 

And she was ready to receive any kind of punishment she may receive from Him.

But to her surprise, Yuuji smiled softly, his face the very epitome of gentleness and forgiveness as he looked upon her kindly, and answered her with a soothing, heart-touching voice that reverberated deeply in her heart. 

“No, not “wrong” perhaps… but simply interesting…”

His words were mysterious, and as a supreme being with an intellect on par with even the most intelligent of all supreme beings, they must be filled with wisdom she could not even begin to fathom. 

Despite knowing it was a foolish thought to try and grasp the sheer intelligence and wisdom of the greatest supreme being, she still felt slightly frustrated for being unable to understand Him. 

But alas, there was nothing she could do. All she could was to await her orders and be enlightened to the true meaning of His words when he wished it for her. 

Yuuji then glanced towards Aika, who was still clinging onto his arm, burying it in her massive cleavage. Such actions would’ve been impossible before due to the R-18 actions restrictions from the game. But this time, he could clearly feel the wondrous, heavenly softness and warmth of her body. 

And the feeling in his pants that was starting to become more and more painful and tight, was also something that proved that they had been transferred into the new world. 

Yuuji noticed his little sexy gremlin staring at Albedo with a smirk and a glint in her eyes that, with her appearance now, appeared ever so bewitching and alluring. 

He could not help but wonder what this little, sexy, mischievous girlfriend of his was planning now.

But, with everyone else still present, he refrained from asking her and let her have her fun for now before turning towards Momonga. 

“Momonga. Seems like it happened.”

“Indeed.”

The words exchanged by the Supreme Beings further shocked and confused Albedo, as well as Sebas and the Pleiades, who were standing by for their order at the bottom of the stairs to the throne. 

They did not sense anything amiss… But if the supreme beings said so, then something must’ve happened that went beyond their senses. 

“Sebas, relay my message to Aura to have her stealthier pets scout the perimeter surrounding Nazarick in a 5 km radius. And have the Hanzos scout the area further beyond that, up to 10 km radius. Prioritize gathering information. If they encounter any threats, prioritize retreating covertly while gathering as much information as they could. ”

The commanding voice of the supreme being, who held the highest position within Nazarick as the leader of the supreme beings, echoed throughout the throne room, snapping them out of their daze. 

“Understood.”

Immediately, the white-haired man, who had been standing ramrod straight as a perfect butler would, bent his body in a reverent bow with his right hand on his left chest.

One of the venerable Gods had spoken. And the order had been given. As a loyal servant to the supreme being, he did not question nor hesitate. He would accomplish everything he had been ordered to to the best of his abilities. 

“Pleiades, relay to all floor guardians to put Nazarick’s defense level to the highest, then return to the eighth floor to defend it. It seems we’ve encountered a strange phenomenon.”

““Yes!””

Similarly, the Pleiades received their orders with utmost reverence and obedience, bowing and lowering their heads as they received a decree from their God.

The maids and head butler excused themselves and exited the throne room to execute the orders they had just been given. 

Seeing Momonga swiftly giving his orders in such a clear and succinct manner, Yuuji couldn’t help but be impressed. 

To others, such as Albedo, he might have seemed like he had just made a split second decision and relayed his orders perfectly to his subordinates, as expected of the leader of the 41 Supreme Beings. 

But to those who knew Momonga, they could tell that he had rehearsed it countless times before for him to speak so fluently and decisively. 

Still, it was impressive. And the lack of expression that his skeletal face granted him did well to hide the nervousness that would surely be obvious if he was still in his “Satoru” form. 

A solemn look replaced the ever smiling visage of the Goddess-like Succubus. Simply from the orders given by the venerable leader of the Supreme Beings, even someone like Shalltear could deduce that something was wrong. 

She held the jet-black wand in her hand tighter, the world item Ginnungagap that was granted to her by the creator, who abandoned her, in secret without the knowledge of the other Supreme Beings. 

And noticing her tenseness, Yuuji turned to her.

“Worry not, Albedo. It is but a… slight disturbance we felt. Isn’t that right, Momonga?”

“Hm? A-Ah… Ahem. Indeed. We sensed a disturbance that happened for a fraction of a second in the space around Nazarick.”

Her seductive, devilish golden eyes widened in shock at his words. Did such a thing truly happen?

No. The Supreme Beings had spoken, so such a thing must’ve truly happened. She was simply unable to sense it herself. Yet another mark of shame that Albedo swore to rectify. 

Her mind immediately spun at immense speed as she began planning the defense of Nazarick from the unknown, foreign threat. 

But suddenly, a hand to her shoulder snapped her out of her daze, and the most melodious voice that she ever heard resounded from her side.

“Fufu~ You don’t have to worry so much, Albedo~ Everything will be fine~ Momonga just did it to be safe~”

Her eyes shifted from the skeletal Overlord and master of death, to the supreme being who stood at the pinnacle of beauty and charm, far outshining even her own. 

She was a succubus… A demon of beauty, charm, and lust. But She… She was the true embodiment of all three. 

She was… the true primordial demoness of lust. 

Out of all the 41 Supreme Beings, including the ones who had abandoned them, Albedo held the highest admiration for Yuuji first, as the greatest and most powerful of all Supreme Beings, and Aika second, as the true pinnacle of her race and the one who represented all that she stood for. 

The woman who epitomized beauty, and one who would be peerless when it comes to love and her beloved. 

A woman in love was capable of everything, even if it meant destroying the world, to be with her beloved. And Aika embodied every single world of that notion. 

As a succubus, who had yet to find her “one” to give her heart and maidenhood to, she was incomplete. 

Albedo could not help but imagine… How beautiful she would become, and how beautiful the world would seem, if she were to find her “one”, just like how Aika had found hers. 

“Yes. I gave Sebas and the Pleiades those orders simply to be safe. That said… I believe things will get interesting soon.”

The look of intense worry and vigilance receded from her visage slightly. She was still alerted and prepared to defend the Supreme Beings at a moment's notice. However, she was now simply waiting for an order from the Supreme Beings. 

“Albedo, gather all floor guardians, except for the guardian of the fourth floor, Gargantua, and guardian of the eighth floor, Victim, to the Amphitheatre in an hour. I wish to talk with everyone regarding the current situation.”

“Yes, Momonga-sama. It shall be done.”

Albedo put her hands in front of her slim waist, and bowed elegantly. Her massive breasts swayed and jiggled as she bowed, as well as giving Yuuji, who was standing directly in front of her, a full view of her deep, pure white cleavage. 

Then, the bewitching demoness turned and walked away from the throne. 

With every step she took, her hips would naturally roll seductively, accentuating her round, child-bearing worthy hips that would make any mortal man drool in lust. 

Well… perhaps not only the mortal men, as the sexy demoness supreme being was also currently drooling while openly watching her dump truck ass jiggle with every step. 

In fact, out of the four, she was the only one looking at her in such a way. Lelouch was too busy with his own thoughts. Satoru considered Albedo as his own daughter and would not see her in such a way. While Yuuji was also in his own thoughts, planning on what he would do next. 

When the door to the throne room slammed shut and left the four supreme beings to their privacy, Momonga started. 

“Well then… We have an hour before we would have to go to the Amphitheatre. Shall we move to the Round Table Room to discuss our plans and the support items you’ve gotten?”

Yuuji, Aika, and Lelouch all snapped out of their own thoughts and sex fantasy, and nodded to Momonga’s suggestion. 

Then, in a blink of an eye, the four figures vanished from the throne room.
