Bone King: Homemade plug-in, I am the god of destiny Chapter 045

“Ainz-sama!”

“Ainz-sama!”

Several NPCs from the Great Tomb of Nazarick came to Ainz’s side, offering concerned greetings to the Supreme Being.

After receiving Nabe’s distress signal this time, all the Floor Guardians, except for Gargantua and Victim who were responsible for defense, rushed to the scene.

In addition, there were the Eight Edge Assassin Bugs, Aura’s monster group, all members of the Battle Maid squad, and so on. It was no exaggeration to say that Nazarick’s main force had been deployed.

“Ainz-sama! That lowly human dared to attack you! I request permission to immediately raze E-Rantel to find him and make him experience hellish torture worse than death!”

Albedo said, brimming with killing intent.

Her tone was very serious, not like a temporary outburst of anger, but more like a genuine thought.

“Calm down, Albedo.”

Though Ainz was touched by her loyalty and concern, he couldn’t actually let Albedo do such a thing. He persuaded her, “We still know too little about this world. Rashly taking such action would not be wise. It could make Nazarick a public enemy and attract troublesome opponents.”

“Besides, after being scared away by us, the opponent might not return to E-Rantel. Doing so might only lead to a wasted effort.”

“Also, regarding this battle, I still have some questions to clarify. As long as the opponent appears again in the future, we will have plenty of opportunities for revenge, won’t we? There’s no need to rush.”

Albedo wasn’t a brainless brute who would charge at a red cloth. After listening to Ainz’s persuasion, although she was still indignant, she could understand Ainz’s concerns.

“I understand, Ainz-sama. Then we will let him off for now, and make him pay back double later!”

“Mm.”

Ainz nodded with satisfaction.

This battle came too suddenly and also brought up several things that needed attention.

First, he had basically confirmed the opponent’s player status from their abnormal reaction upon hearing “Ainz Ooal Gown.”

Since they were a player, perhaps they also had a massive organization supporting them, just like he had the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Before clarifying this point, rashly pursuing them would not be a wise move.

Then there was the opponent’s combat performance.

In terms of skill, the opponent’s performance wasn’t particularly outstanding, but that wealthy player’s style of continuously using high-tier magic, seemingly without regard for MP consumption, was truly a bit overwhelming.

Perhaps this was related to the opponent’s abnormal MP situation.

If he could figure out why the opponent was so “persistent” and successfully manage to weaken them, he would have a 60% chance of defeating them in the next battle.

He couldn’t be more confident because the opponent’s abilities were too much of a counter to him. If it were Sebas, Cocytus, or other non-undead, non-demon beings engaging the opponent, the situation should be much better for them.

He needed to analyze the collected intelligence with the Guardians thoroughly later, so that others would have an intelligence advantage if they encountered the opponent.

Ainz mentally noted this down, then looked around and said to everyone, “This place is too close to the city. Let’s return to Nazarick first. As for these humans, let’s take them with us. Perhaps we can obtain some useful information from them.”

“Yes, Ainz-sama!”

Albedo and the others respectfully obeyed.

Then Ainz opened a [Gate], the servants packed up the remaining corpses, and everyone returned to Nazarick.

…

E-Rantel at night.

Inside the city stronghold of the Carne Village villagers, Han Yu called for several of his dependents related to today’s attack and inquired about the specific situation.

“…After we were killed by that terrifying undead, our whole being felt like our souls had left our bodies, but our consciousness was very clear, and we could see what was happening around us. Then, that undead disguised as the adventurer Momon dispelled his disguise and easily eliminated the other undead.”

“We were very scared at the time. We didn’t expect our adventurer companion, who had been by our side, to be such an undead, so we panicked after you resurrected us.”

“My Lord, we are truly sorry for causing you trouble.”

Seeing his dependents bowing and apologizing to him with guilty expressions, Han Yu didn’t blame them. He said, “I understand everything. This is not your fault. You may go and rest now.”

“Yes, My Lord.”

The dependents bowed and left the room, leaving Han Yu alone, pondering over today’s events.

Although he knew he could easily resurrect his dependents, he hadn’t expected them to enter such a peculiar state when they died. It seemed like they were ‘invincible,’ undetectable by others, and unaffected by any power.

This ability might be useful for reconnaissance, though he didn’t know if there were any distance limitations, such as not being able to move too far from the corpse.

Hmm, he could experiment with it later.

Then there was the successful acquisition of [Kyouhukou], which was already planned. Next, he just needed to create a fake to launder the stolen goods.

Finally, there was the fight with Ainz.

Although this meant a direct confrontation with the Great Tomb, Han Yu wasn’t too worried.

Ainz and his subordinates weren’t like him, a transmigrator with a ‘God’s eye view.’ They were still in the ‘otherworld panic’ stage, so they would most likely not openly gang up on him.

Even if they did decide to act against him, they would at least try to probe his strength and figure out if he had any hidden combat power.

After all, with the ‘wisdom’ of Ainz and the few highly intelligent NPCs in the Great Tomb, they certainly wouldn’t make reckless moves like charging directly into an enemy’s face with invincibility buffs active, completely disregarding whether strong men might leap out from the bushes.

“However, I can’t be careless. This is the time to activate the effect of the doppelganger.”

After a moment of thought, Han Yu took out a mercenary summoning book from his backpack.

As the book was completely consumed by magical flames, a special humanoid mercenary appeared before Han Yu.

Its head was bald, without a single strand of hair. Its prominent features like nose and ears were replaced by three dark, round holes. It had only three fingers, all long, four-jointed phalanges.

This monster was called a Doppelganger, possessing a special mimicry ability and the power to read the memories of the mimicked individual, making it a perfect substitute.

“Come, become me.”

The Doppelganger respectfully bowed to Han Yu. When it looked up again, its form and appearance had completely transformed into his.

Han Yu took out a replica of his divine-grade armor set from his backpack and had the Doppelganger put it on. Then, there was an identical ‘brother’ of his in the room.

After instructing the Doppelganger about its upcoming actions, Han Yu used a disguise item to change his own appearance, then activated teleportation magic to head to the cemetery in E-Rantel.
