Chapter 555: What have you treated life as!

Demiurge was not just high in intelligence; as a demon good at guessing human hearts, his observation and insight were also quite strong.

Evileye, as the strongest in the mission, being able to perceive their level and strength and feel the gap, Demiurge was not surprised.

But besides the look of fear that flowed out at the beginning, the other party's eyes also revealed a hint of realization.

Although the other party covered it up very well, it was still captured by Demiurge.

【I see, have I been exposed?】

【Although I cannot confirm it, I think it is probably like this. I am very sorry, it was my mistake that led to such a loophole.

However, as long as I kill her now, I should be able to ensure that the news does not leak out.】

【Stop, Demiurge. Have you forgotten what I said before?

It is not appropriate for us to fight the Kingdom now. Before the roots of Shura King and the Kingdom's Third Prince are thoroughly understood, rashly going to war with them is quite unfavorable for us.

Don't forget, there are other powerhouses in this world. If the force behind the world-class item that controlled Shalltear jumps out while we are at war with the Kingdom, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?】

【But Lord Ainz, if this woman brings the news back to the Kingdom, after knowing the truth, the Kingdom will also treat us as enemies, right?】

【Then, if you were the Kingdom's Third Prince, after seeing the power we possess now, would you rashly treat us as enemies?】

Facing Ainz's rhetorical question, Demiurge thought for a while, and a look of admiration appeared on his face as he looked at Ainz.

The Kingdom's Third Prince was undoubtedly as smart as the Empire's Emperor.

And after seeing the power of their Great Tomb of Nazarick, even if there were grudges, he would probably deal with them superficially, and then secretly unite with other kingdoms to find a way to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

And what their Great Tomb of Nazarick needed to do was to maintain a superficial friendly relationship with the Kingdom, and then secretly wipe out all the Kingdom's allies!

Smart people are cautious. Before they have absolute certainty, the Kingdom will not take the initiative to move against their Great Tomb of Nazarick.

But if they really killed Lakyus and the others, then it could not be ruled out that the Kingdom's Third Prince would be forced into a corner.

After all, according to the intelligence collected by Sebas before, that Kingdom's Third Prince seemed quite deep in affection for this female adventurer...

"You should be Ainz Ooal Gown, right? I am the Empire's Emperor, Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix.

A while ago, nobles of my country, without my knowledge, commissioned some Imperial workers to disturb your residence, Lord Ainz.

Now I have already taken the head of that noble and specially sent it to you to apologize, so I hope you will forgive my country's negligent behavior in this matter."

Jircniv, the Empire's Emperor, naturally didn't know about the private chat mode between Ainz and Demiurge.

However, looking at the silent Ainz Ooal Gown, and after feeling the power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Jircniv finally couldn't bear the pressure and took the initiative to apologize.

However, facing the apology from the Empire's Emperor, who had sent the head of a scapegoat noble, Ainz didn't give Jircniv much face, but said directly: "Emperor, setting aside whether I accept your apology or not, before that, I want to invite everyone to watch a good show."

Accompanied by Ainz's words, he snapped his fingers.

And very quickly, in front of Jircniv and his group, magic appeared like a virtual screen.

When they saw the picture on the projection magic, Jircniv and the others were extremely surprised.

Because they found that the people appearing on the screen were actually the Imperial workers who had lost contact before.

Originally, Jircniv thought that those workers who came to explore the ruins were all dead.

But looking at it now, things didn't seem to be the case.

And what did the other party's operation mean now?

"These despicable rats who invaded our Great Tomb of Nazarick, we actually have the ability to kill them immediately.

However, we didn't do that, because in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, even wanting a quick death is a kind of mercy and luxury.

For these tomb raiders who trampled on the holy land that I built with my companions, I think we must give them absolute despair, and then give them death."

Compared to adventurers bound by guild rules, so-called workers were just a group of people driven purely by profit.

Whether it was assassination, theft, or arson, as long as there was enough profit, these people would do it.

It was also because of this reason that the reputation of workers had always been poor.

Although they were used by the Empire's Emperor, being blinded by huge profits, the death of the Empire's workers themselves was not worthy of sympathy from others.

But looking at the screen in front of them now, Jircniv and Lakyus and the others couldn't help but clench their fists, enduring great anger in their hearts.

They were not sympathizing with the money-grubbing Imperial workers, but were angry at the behavior of Ainz Ooal Gown and his group.

The "Dragon Hunt" team wiped out by the fully armed skeleton army.

The "Heavy Smasher" team encountering Neuronist, their bodies including internal organs all being devoured.

The "Heavenly Martial" team encountering the Lizardmen.

And finally, the "Four Armaments" team encountering Solution and Lupusregina from the Pleiades.

For adventurers and workers who licked blood from the edge of a blade, facing death was a common occurrence.

But these Imperial workers, when facing the people of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, were subjected to inhumane torture and slaughter!

Killing was not enough to satisfy them, but as Ainz said before, in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, even wanting a painless death was a luxury.

"Emperor, do you like the special program I prepared for everyone?"

Looking at Jircniv, whose expression was ugly and whose fists were tightly clenched, Ainz, who was on the throne, didn't forget to ask.

【These damned monsters, actually taking pleasure in playing with the lives of others!】

Although he thought so in his heart, Jircniv, who was now in the open, dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction, so he pulled a difficult smile and said: "For disturbing your peace, Lord Ainz, and for the despicable tomb raiders, this is indeed what they deserve..."

When he said this, Jircniv's voice was trembling due to extreme anger and fear.

But no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it now!

If he turned against them here, then everything would really go as the other party wished. He had to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens!

"What have you treated life as! Taking pleasure in the lives of others, building your own happiness on the death of others—does it really give you such a sense of achievement!"

Jircniv was still enduring humiliation, but on the other side, Lakyus could no longer stand all this!
