MTL - Comprehensive Manga: a Journey Through the Supreme Being-Chapter 3
It is precisely because he is too serious and responsible that he will feel lonely and unwilling after the guild has fallen into this state.
Momonga stared blankly at the throne room, red light flickered in his skeleton's skull, and his mood was fluctuating.
In the end, he sighed regretfully and began to look carefully at the hall.
His gaze first fell on a book floating in front of Ainz Ooal Gown's banner.
The book exudes a hazy light and looks very quaint and mysterious.
This is a world class prop!
World-class props are the most powerful props in the entire game, and each world-class prop has unique abilities.
Among the 200 world-class items, the top 20 items are specially called 'twenty'.
The power of 'Twenty' even has the ability to seriously disrupt the balance of the game, and even require the game official to change the game system.
As long as a player owns a world-class item, his popularity in Yggdrasills will skyrocket to unimaginable heights.
And the book floating under the guild flag in front of him is one of the world-class props, and it is also the number one world-class prop.
Its name is 'Avista', which theoretically belongs to the guild, but in reality this world-class item belongs to an individual, namely the guild member 'Zarathustra'.
Thinking of this friend, Momonga fell into memory again.
Because of Momonga's character, he has a good relationship with all the members of the guild.
Zarathustra is arguably the most famous in the guild, or even the most famous player in the Yggdrasills game.
The other party was the first nine members of the Ainz Ouer Gong guild, one of the cornerstones of the guild.
No one knows what Zarathustra's real name is.
No one knew what he did, but the members of the guild could see that the other party should be a very successful person.
Although it's not good to say that his friend is not good, in Momonga's eyes, Zarathustra is a very skilled and shrewd person.
Many of the strategies for the guild's development, and even the strategy for capturing the secret realm, were recorded by him and Cuiyu.
And Zarathustra has a good relationship with all the members of the guild.
Whether it is Taqi Mi, who has a strong sense of justice, or Ulbert, who has a strange obsession with 'evil', he can follow good deeds.
Of course, relatively speaking, Zarathustra is still closer to Urbel.
At first everyone elected him as the guild president, which also made all the guild members including Momonga agree.
Regardless of talent and relationship with guild members, Zaratul can do better.
However, there were too many chores in the management of the guild, and Zarathustra refused the proposal on the pretext that he did not like to deal with these chores.
But in the eyes of the guild members, he just wanted to fish.
The reason Zarathustra is so famous in the game is because he is truly the strongest in the world, a title recognized by all Yggdrasills.
Yggdrasills officially holds a World Tournament every year. Zarathustra has won five consecutive world championships since the first session.
In the end, it was because he felt bored and stopped participating in subsequent conferences that other world champions were born.
Among all the contestants who participated in the conference, he was even dubbed the title of 'The Great Demon King'.
Yggdrasills, like most games, has only two options to become stronger.
The only fairness was at the official martial arts tournament, when everyone had the same attributes and the same equipment, and it was all about operation and technology.
Having won five consecutive world championships in such a conference, Zarathustra is called 'the strongest in the world' is also worthy of the name.
After winning five consecutive championships, in order to reward the 'strongest player in the world', the game official personally ended the game.
After discussing with Zarathustra, the official personally created this number one world-class item for him - "Avista"!
No one knew the abilities and specific effects of this world-class item, not even Ainz Ooal Gown's guild members.
After obtaining this world-class item, Zarathustra placed "Avista" between the thrones.
According to him, "Avista" will be the last guarantee of the guild.
If one day a player breaks through the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick and comes to the throne room, this world's strongest item will definitely bring about a reversal of the situation.
What exactly does the number one world-class prop do? What are its capabilities?
Curiosity made Momonga couldn't help but walk into "Avista".
"Well, today is the last day of the game anyway, why don't you take a look at the description of this item?"
Momonga stretched out his bone-like palm, and hesitantly stretched out towards 'Avista'.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch 'Avista', Momonga's body stopped.
He quickly shook his head, withdrew his fingers, and said to himself: "...No, this is a prop that Zarath paid an unknown amount of hardship and effort to obtain."
"...The hard work of the members of Ainz Ul Gown is condensed here."
"Even if I'm the president, even if today is the last day of the game, I can't sully the feelings between friends!"
With such thoughts in mind, Momonga gave up touching the item.
Just as Momonga was whispering, behind him, a low and brisk male voice suddenly came: "...It's been a long time, Momonga!"
Momonga froze when he heard this voice, he quickly turned his head, and what appeared in front of him was an extremely terrifying big devil! .
Chapter 3 The Great Demon of Aging
A demon that gave the fear of infinite sublime appeared between the thrones of Ainz Urgon.
The big devil was wearing an extremely gorgeous black robe with intricate golden stripes embroidered on the robe, covering his mysterious body.
Momonga's race is the 'ruler of death', and his appearance is a skeleton.
The great demon that appeared in front of him also had a human form, but it was completely different from humans.
His body is formed of a jet-black flame that is close to the substance, and it is more a personification of the jet-black flame than a living creature.
However, this is in line with the 'alien race' of the members of Ainz Urgong.
In Momonga's mind, the information about the strongest person in the world quickly emerged.
As the 'big devil' who has won the world championship for five consecutive times, in addition to the last time he won the world-class item that ranked first, Zaratul has also received official rewards for several other championships.
Such as unique races, unique occupations, etc.
Momonga remembered that Zaratul's race was the 'Demon of Aging', and his occupation was Demon God LV.10 and Human Final Trial LV.10.
Although the human beings finally tried what the occupation was, Momonga did not understand at all.
Like its race, many of Zaratul's abilities are related to 'aging'.
However, although this ability is strong, it also has shortcomings.
That is to greatly discount the undead race. After all, dead creatures should not age again, which is very reasonable.
Momonga as the 'ruler of death' is a standard undead race, but even so, Momonga doesn't feel that he has any possibility of fighting Zaratul.
Mastering many abilities related to 'aging' will make people subconsciously think that he is a mage, but in fact, Zarath is an extremely powerful warrior.
In other words, he is a dual-cultivator of both monsters and monsters. Regardless of the group battle, it is only in the one-on-one battle. There is absolutely no one in the Yggdrasills who is his opponent.
The title of five consecutive world champions, that is not a joke.
What makes people a little strange is that Zaratul's race is the 'Demon of Aging', but it is not a demon species in classification, but an undead species.
The members of the guild once joked that perhaps the Yggdrasills system thought that Zaratul's ability was also effective for him.
In order to avoid the embarrassing scene where he died violently because of his skills before he killed the opponent, he should be classified as the undead species.
Xixiang looked at the skeleton in a daze with a little helplessness, and couldn't help but say:
"... Momonga, are you finally Alzheimer's too? Alzheimer's disease has begun to increase among young people now? What are you thinking?"
When Xixiang's voice fell, Momonga finally came back to his senses.
That skeleton that gave people a sense of fear at first impression, touched his big bald head at this time, and said very naively: "...Ah, sorry, sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
Hearing Saigo's familiar voice and mocking words again, Momonga had an illusion for a while, as if he was back when Ainz Urgong and the others were still there.
At that time, laughter and laughter were always full of laughter in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Every day, everyone did tasks together, raised the level together, and developed the guild together.
That time was also the happiest time in Momonga's life.
But that time will never come again.
But Momonga was also a little guilty at this time. He didn't know if Saigo had seen the little action he was about to secretly pick up the "Avista" just now.
Xixiang didn't pay attention to Momonga at this time. In fact, he noticed Momonga's small movements when he went online, but he didn't care much.
Having known friends for almost twelve years, Xixiang still knows Momonga very well.
To put it bluntly, Momonga is a good-natured person, hard-working, and attaches great importance to feelings, and likes to be a peacemaker the most.
It was precisely because of his character that the members of Ainz Urgong elected him as their leader.
Although everyone wanted Xixiang to be the chairman at first, Xixiang felt that being the chairman was too much trouble, and there were too many trivial things to solve.
Therefore, he refused to become the president, but instead recommended Momonga, who worked hard and never complained.
Xixiang's pitch-black pupils like flame crystals glanced around, and everything between the throne came into his eyes.
As one of the cornerstones of Ainz Urgong's founding, Saigo, who has fought in this game for nearly twelve years, has no unfamiliarity with the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.
Everything here is familiar to him, because this big tomb was originally built by him and the members of the guild, brick by brick.
He looked around, his eyes swept across the flag of the Ainz Urgong Guild hanging at the very center of the north wall, and the exclusive flag representing the forty-two people surrounding the banner.
Sweep the luxurious carpet of gold and silver tones, sweep the Roman stone pillars standing in the throne room, sweep the colorful chandeliers on the ceiling.
Then, Xixiang's eyes fell on the corner of the hall.
There was a beautiful pure white devil standing there.
She was wearing a gorgeous silk white dress, which wrapped her graceful and delicate body like undulating mountains and rivers.
The devil's facial features are delicate and soft, with a shallow smile on his face, like a goddess of Venus, with black and shiny hair reaching his waist, a golden iris and oval pupils are different from ordinary people.
If it weren't for the two goat-like demon horns on top of her head and the black angel wings extending from both sides of her waist, everyone would consider her to be an impeccable peerless beauty.
No, she is a peerless stunner, the perfect temptation demon in the human imagination.
Albedo, an NPC created by Saigo's best-connected Cuiyulu in the game, is the guardian of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.
In the society that is similar to "cyberpunk" in the real world, many people live numbly, and there are very few people who like history and mythology.
And Cuiyulu is a lover of mythology, and has dabbled in many myths in the world.
Xixiang, who has the same hobby, naturally became good friends with him.
Xixiang took his eyes away from Albedo, a soulless NPC was really nothing to look at.
Even in beauty it was just a sculpture, a doll without a soul.
Finally, Xixiang's eyes fell on Momonga.
The pitch-black flame under his hood fluctuated for a while, as if showing a smile, and said in a calm and clear voice: "...I haven't seen you for a while, Momonga."
"...I'll take a look before the game closes. Sure enough, even if everyone leaves, you will still be here to guard everything that everyone has created."
"From this point of view, it may be the most correct decision for everyone in this guild to elect you as the guild leader."
At that moment, Momonga was trembling, and grievance and sadness hit his heart, making him almost cry.
Unfortunately, he is in the game now, and the skeleton's body has no tears.
But even so, he was moved and grateful for Xixiang's words.
Momonga wiped his skeleton face without tears, his voice trembling, and he said in a crying voice:
"...Thank you, Zaratul, hearing your words makes me feel that everything I do is worth it.".
Chapter 4 Crawling in front of me, Albedo!
"How old are you, you won't be moved to cry just because of these few words, Momonga?"
