The pioneer's journey must be full of the unknown, right? So I also want to leave another surprise in your life.

Overlord.

When Demiurge opened his eyes, he found himself standing on that familiar marble floor. He lowered his head, looked at his hands, then raised his head and scanned his surroundings.

He wasn't wearing clothes? What a strange state.

Moreover, the throne hall was unprecedentedly... empty.

The entire hall had only one person: Ainz-sama, as usual, seated on the throne, without Yaldaeva standing by his side, without Sesis guarding the steps, without Sebas Tian, and without Aura Bella Fiora...

What is going on?

Demiurge frowned, knelt on one knee, and his voice carried a rare anger: "Ainz-sama, the other guardians have not come to pay their respects—should we—"

Ainz slowly raised his palm, interrupting him.

"Don't worry about it, Demiurge. The Underground Great Tomb of Nazarick currently has only you as a guardian here."

"I see, so Ainz-sama sent the other guardians out on missions?"

"No." The adult on the throne lightly tapped the ground with his staff: "They are all dead, Demiurge. Even you—I just revived you with five hundred million gold coins."

Demiurge froze in place instantly.

Yeah... he then remembered that when Ainz-sama revived Shalltear Bloodfallen, it was also in this naked state, which means... all the guardians have been wiped out?!

This, this... how is that possible?

Demiurge trembled uncontrollably all over.

"Demiurge, do you still remember what happened last?"

"Yes! I remember... it seemed I was enveloped by a mass of red light, and then... there was nothing after."

Demiurge completely lost his memory after that, but it's no wonder—Ainz also doesn't remember exactly what happened at that moment. He recalls that under the cover of that red light, he was still using MP potions to recover his state, yet... it seems he didn't even cast a single spell before dying.

Although the wealth of the Underground Great Tomb of Nazarick is vast, it is not enough to support Ainz reviving all the guardians at once, so the time for decision has come.

"After reviving Shalltear Bloodfallen once, aside from you, the wealth stockpiled in the Underground Great Tomb of Nazarick is probably only enough to revive two guardians. The next revival targets will be Yaldaeva and Sebas Tian."

"Star opened 'As I Wrote It,' and in this eternal page left by Xilian, all the Golden Heirs live here."

"Seeing Star from afar, Bai E immediately waved at her."

"\"Good partner, you finally came. \" Bai E supported his forehead, wearing a troubled expression as he looked at Na Ke Xia and Aglaea standing together not far away, as if sparks were 'hissing' at the intersection of their gazes."

"\"Every time Na Ke Xia and Aglaea are together, it means Aohema is going to be thrown into chaos, and even now, I dare not relax my spirit... \""

"\"Got any melon? Let me have a bite too! \""

"\"Hah, we both heard it. \" Aglaea's gaze shifted from Na Ke Xia's face, \"Nothing major, I just wanted to find someone to discuss the recent Titan myth spreading on the streets. \""

"\"What did I say? Even without the gold thread, the renowned 'Goldweave' lady still loves to monitor people's movements. And you, Bai E—\""

"\"Coincidentally, I also know what you want to say—\""

"The two simultaneously turned their gazes toward Bai E, Aglaea imitating Na Ke Xia's tone, mimicking it perfectly: \"Bai E learns from that woman, unwilling to let go of even the slightest breeze or grass movement—whose student is he, exactly? \""

"\"Stop arguing, we're all his teachers. \""

"\"Ah? Partner, what are you saying? \" Bai E finally raised his head, getting to the point: \"The Titan myth circulating on the streets—I have a bad feeling, could it be that book 'Secret Grudge: Butterfly and Tree'? \""

"Bai E spoke halfway, then remembered to consult 'Titan' for opinion: \"... Na Ke Xia teacher, can I continue speaking? \""

"Na Ke Xia 'tsk'ed, annoyed, and tilted his head aside: \"Why ask me? You're writing about Sesis—what does it have to do with my Anatkesagoras? \""

"Bai E spoke bluntly: \"This... after all, some people think the 'Splitting Branch' and 'Golden Cocoon' described in this book are alluding to a certain new reincarnation, right? \""

"When discussing the explosive content of the novel, Bai E and Star's expressions began to turn subtle."

"\"Years later, their successors further became incompatible like water and fire. Upon meeting, they accused each other of not even deigning to look at each other properly, nearly coming to blows. Oh! Plus the afterword: 'So-called myths are all mixed with later additions; the two Titans actually did not have the legendary affection, but merely a sporadic cooperative relationship'... \""

"Many years later, their successors became even more irreconcilable. When they met, they accused each other of not even looking at Zi Ben properly, nearly coming to blows. Oh! And there is a postscript: 'So-called myths are all mixed with later additions; the two Titans were not actually as loving as the legends claim, but merely had a slight, sporadic cooperative relationship.'"

Absolute Zero.

"As soon as these 'forbidden' novels are mentioned, Bai E starts talking nonstop, it seems he usually reads plenty."

Ling and Philosophy simultaneously wore a 'I get it, I get it' expression—if Bai E could resist opening such novels, then no matter what he does, he will succeed."

"Uh... clearly Sesis and Moneita are lovers, but why is the relationship between Na Ke Xia and Aglaea so bad? I think even if they aren't lovers, they at least shouldn't be enemies?" Lin Dewei En rested his chin on his hand, unable to suppress his curiosity.

"\"Moneita is Moneita, Aglaea is Aglaea; the love between Titans originally should not be brought into the Golden Heirs. \" Ling said matter-of-factly, \"On the contrary, those who, because of Aglaea and Na Ke Xia's bad relationship, turn around to question Moneita and Sesis's relationship—if they had truly seen Sesis with affectionate eyes, they probably wouldn't have this rumor. \""

"\"However, now that the Fire Pursuit Journey has ended, Na Ke Xia and Aglaea... their relationship should be able to improve a bit? Setting aside the disagreements on the Fire Pursuit Journey, I think they should still have quite a bit of common ground. \""

"However, the Fire Pursuit Journey has already ended now, so the relationship between Aglaea and Na Ke Xia should improve a bit, right? Setting aside their disagreements on the Fire Pursuit path, I think they still have plenty of common ground."
