You may need to make your differential treatment even more obvious soon…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the anxious crowd waiting outside was finally granted an audience by Old Bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this waiting period, Emperor Gilgamesh was far from calm on the inside, despite his composed exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Emperor of the Empire to personally visit was already enough, but to be left waiting so long was clearly a veiled declaration that the other’s status towered above his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if that were all, it might have been bearable—but while they waited for Ainz Ul Gong’s audience, they sat on ordinary chairs and drank only orange juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what of the “Crimson Rose,” whom they had previously regarded as enemies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat upon ornate magical furnishings, ate exquisitely crafted pastries, and were even attended by several maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To an outsider, it would seem the “Crimson Rose” were the true guests of honor, while the rest were mere attendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew this was all Ainz Ul Gong’s game, Gilgamesh, as ruler of an empire, could not help but feel rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing through the teleportation gate, Gilgamesh and his entourage arrived directly in the grand hall of the Great Necropolis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely the ordinary council chamber where Old Bone and his kind held meetings—its spacious, opulent décor, and the rows of death knights standing like guards on either side—had already stunned Gilgamesh and Lachesis deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they could not have believed such a structure existed within a tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth, status, beauty—Ainz Ul Gong lacked none of these. Indeed, what Gilgamesh, Emperor of the Empire, had witnessed today made him feel like a pauper beside this being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This necropolis, like the ‘Eight Desires King’ ruin Elyuentio we visited before, could not have been built with current magic or technology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The area we stand in now may be merely the tip of this tomb’s iceberg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The construction likely employed extremely advanced spatial folding magic… no, it may even be lost magic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking down the corridor, Iblis, with two centuries of experience, surveyed the surroundings and continually murmured words of awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Iblis’s words, Gilgamesh and Lachesis both furrowed their brows even deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh worried because his own mistake had led the Empire to provoke such a formidable enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lachesis frowned because she had heard from Lana that Ainz Ul Gong was a powerful undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, honored guests from the distant Empire, and the Kingdom’s adventurers—the Crimson Rose—to the Great Necropolis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Emperor and his party approach the throne, Old Bone, no longer disguised, revealed himself as the “Ruler of Death,” his skeletal form glowing with crimson eyes, arms outstretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet due to his overwhelming aura and terrifying appearance, Lachesis and the others did not feel welcomed—they felt as if they had been summoned by Death itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clack——————!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Gilgamesh and the others were stunned to discover Ainz Ul Gong was undead, their strongest member, Iblis, suddenly collapsed to the floor in utter horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Iblis, what is this—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a loss of composure from Iblis was something none of the Crimson Rose had ever seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These people are monsters! Both Ainz Ul Gong and everyone around him—they’re all monsters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Iblis’s words, the warrior Gerglan nodded: “We already sensed it. When he looked at us, I felt my very soul tremble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can be certain—he is no ordinary undead. He is the true Ruler of Death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you don’t understand. It’s not that simple. The gap between them and us is a chasm of dimensions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s impossible. Impossible. Humans… no, I cannot even imagine any being capable of defeating such monsters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iblis could not explain to Lachesis and the others just how dangerous Ainz Ul Gong and his followers truly were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was like Ainz Ul Gong and his kind being world-ending dragons, while she herself was merely a tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lachesis and the others… they were little more than ants on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a tiger, she occupied a higher tier—so she alone could feel just how immense and perilous Ainz Ul Gong and his kind truly were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lachesis and the others, comparable to ants, how could they possibly sense the power of dragons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw Ainz Ul Gong, Iblis instantly understood who Shengzai had meant by his “hundred-year aftershock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai had once said the “Eight Desires Kings” were a force that arrived in this world due to a hundred-year aftershock—and now, the Great Necropolis was unquestionably the same as the sky city Elyuentio in the southern desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lachesis’s teammate, Iblis also knew that the “Shameful King” was none other than the Kingdom’s Third Prince Shengzai’s disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Shengzai, wearing the “Shameful King” mask, had already met Ainz Ul Gong and his followers—though they were unaware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after returning from Karn Village did Prince Shengzai set out for the southern desert to seek the sky city Elyuentio and investigate the “hundred-year aftershock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the pieces now connected. Iblis finally understood why Prince Shengzai, already impossibly strong, was so deeply concerned about the hundred-year aftershock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai had warned that the Kingdom would one day face its fall—and recently, the Demon Emperor Adabawa and the True Ancestor Vampire Xia Tiya had just attacked the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Iblis even suspected that among those standing beside Ainz Ul Gong were none other than the Demon Emperor Adabawa and the True Ancestor Vampire Xia Tiya!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iblis, who never let romance cloud her judgment, still had a sharp mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through analyzing the current situation and piecing together clues, she had nearly deduced the full truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as he watched Iblis’s breakdown, Demiurge also frowned and sent a mental message to Old Bone beside him: [Lord Ainz, the vampire among the Crimson Rose has likely recognized me as the Demon Emperor Adabawa.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1016,"2026-06-19T15:18:35.208Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9b0df7e092ec2464fbe5b2eb26c422347c92b89f9466e2a6cd43a68d3b49f4ca","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-555","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-553",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
