166 Xenios Tales(Overlord/WC)-1

"I have to admit, you are taking your current situation far better than I thought you would be." I said with a smile as I looked at the woman flying beside me.

She was beautiful in a way that I had a hard time describing in any way other than... inhuman. Her skin was pale to the point where it could not be healthy, her long white hair had a single line of purple in them and her ice like blue eyes were surrounded by pitch black sclera.

"You mean the fact that I am basically your slave?" And even her voice was beautiful, almost like a cold wind through the dark night. "Honestly, it doesn't actually change my former situation much other than the fact that my new master changed and he had more... intimate desires when it comes to me. Pull that last one out and it is pretty much same as my former life as a salarywoman." She then shrugged, which did very nice things with her chest.

"Yet you were just about to obtain power and freedom, you're saying there is no animosity for losing that?"

"No, and honestly; I'm not even sure if it's simply because of the collar you put on me." She said with a sigh as she fiddled with the collar on her neck, specifically with the blue jewel on it.

"Maybe it's just because I can't actually imagine myself with that power and freedom. Maybe it would have been different if you had collared me after I spent some time as the ruler of Nazarick in a real world."

"Well, I guess you are still in a better situation than you had been before." Which was a really shitty thing, becoming the slave of an agent from a multiversal slavery company being a plus.

"And you will still have freedom and power, you just won't be at the top of the world like you would have been." I said with a chuckle. "All you have to do is to help me make sure that those little demons you have in Nazarick is under control and not being themselves on the world."

"That sounds a bit hypocritical coming from a literal slaver who is inhabiting the body of the most well known rapist in the history."

"Oh, I'm not saying that I'm not evil, I am. I'm saying that those little NPCs of yours are just needlessly cruel, remember what I told you about that Happy Farm they built for you." I definitely took far more satisfaction than I should from the way she flinched but she did need to hear it. I might be a evil slaver but the shit Nazarick would pull on this world under the rule of original Momonga, who did try to contain some of their worst impulses whenever he saw it, had been just unnecessarily cruel for no reason; I didn't even want to think what they would do if they were unchecked.

Creating NPCs with horror movie like evil backstories could be fun in games and stories but that shit lost it's appeal very quickly when it came to the real world.

Still, that was no reason to let her be sad.

"Don't look so glum, it's not like I'm planning to sell or torture them for kicks." Unless it was hot.

"I will just be having them on a tighter leash so that they don't end up turning the worlds we end up in into something resembling your old world." I said with a sigh and saw that my words had finally gotten through her.

"Now wipe that frown off of your face, we are almost there."

-------------------

"Albedo, I am giving you only one chance to explain this, where is lady Momonga?!" Demiurge yelled as he slammed his fist down on the table.

"...I already told you what happened, and so has Sebastian and the Pleiades, she simply disappeared from her throne when Nazarick was transported to this place." The guardian overseer and the highest authority among the NPCs said with her gaze cast down, looking like she had just lost her will to live.

"That is not good enough!" The demon yelled, his rage making them see that behind his glasses; there were a pair of crystals instead of eyes, lit with murderous intent. Only to be stopped by a halberd that was lowered between them.

"Calm yourself, Demiurge." Cocytus, the guardian of the fifth floor and a giant insectoid warrior, breathed out a gust of cold air as he slammed the butt of the halberd. "We need you at the best of your mental capacity in this situation, do not let your anger blind you." The giant insectoid's words made the demon calm down as he sat back down.

"Very well. We will need to bring Nazarick's defenses to maximum and send out search parties. Whatever this... incident that transported Nazarick away from its place at Helheim is, it likely transported lady Momonga as well." The demon claimed as he pushed his glasses back but every inhabitant in the room could see that he was still tense and they knew it was because of a simple question in his mind.

What if lady Momoga hadn't been transported but she had... left, like the rest of the Supreme Beings.

'Demiurge, Albedo…'

"This better be important Sebas." Demiurge growled as he pressed two fingers to his temple, responding to the message spell sent their way by the butler.

'There are two people flying towards Nazarick…'

'Then just shoot them down, you fool!' The demon sent the message, not happy with the fact Sebas needed to be told such an obvious task.

'…and one of them appears to be lady Momonga.' That last message ended up stopping him, and everyone else in the room, in his tracks and then everyone simply ran towards the door; their intent to get out of the tomb and greet their mistress clear.

—————

"Lady Momonga!" Every floor guardian of Nazarick, with the exception of Gargantua and Victim and the denizens of eighth floor, ran out of the tomb in order to greet their mistress who had just landed in front of the stairs of the tomb. There was also a man with black hair that reached his broad shoulders with several white strands and a beard with similar coloring.

"My guardians." But their attention was taken away from the man as their mistress called out to them. "I am gladdened to finally see you all once more, there is much we must speak but before that; I wish to introduce you all to my new friend here." She said as she gestured to the man. "His name is Zeus, and for the past two weeks; he has been my guide and comrade in this world as I waited for you all."
