After confirming the loyalty of all the Floor Guardians, Momonga simply said what a guild master ought to say, “Guardians, you are truly outstanding.
I trust that you will be able to understand my intentions and successfully fulfill your mission.”
“Holy crap, Momonga slipped into character so fast, that’s just… oh wait, I forgot, Momonga doesn’t even have a d*ck anymore!”
“…Luke-san, could you please not broadcast your inner thoughts in the channel?”
“Sorry, I accidentally sent it to the wrong channel, I’ll retract it.
Momonga, just pretend you didn’t hear that, okay?”
“…”
Momentarily driven mad by Luke’s message, Momonga continued, “Perhaps there are some things you may not understand, but I hope you will listen carefully.
Luke and I believe that the Great Tomb of Nazarick has now been caught up in some unknown accident.”
After Momonga asked if anyone had noticed any abnormalities and everyone answered no, he then carried out a series of arrangements that might seem overly cautious to an outsider.
First, he raised the security level.
Then, he authorized the use of the NPC-generated “servants” (game-spawned monsters) to enter previously restricted areas for defense.
Finally, he ordered the twin dark elves Aura and Mare to hide Nazarick.
Although Mare was very unhappy about using earth to cover up the glorious Nazarick, once Momonga said it was fine, the Guardians had no objections.
After all, if the leader of the Supreme Beings himself said so and Luke had no objections — they could only carry out the order without reservation.
In hindsight, this was definitely being overly cautious — after all, Momonga even sent Sebas, who possessed power capable of destroying entire nations, on a scouting mission.
As one of the four melee bosses, with Albedo being the strongest in defense, Cocytus the strongest in multi-weapon offense, Sebas’s combined power was even greater than both of them and they sent him to do reconnaissance?
This scared all the Guardians — what kind of terrifying enemy were they expecting to face?
This was practically playing a game of mental chess with the air!
In fact, not just the Guardians, even Luke himself would be a catastrophe if he didn’t restrain his stitched-abomination racial abilities.
His body naturally carried a plague attribute that, if unleashed, would be a full-blown disaster.
He couldn’t wipe out the world instantly, but unleashing an Undead Scourge would be entirely possible.
In other words, Luke alone could annihilate the Kingdom and the Empire just with his debuffs…
And the Guardians’ strength was not much weaker than Luke’s — they could flatten the Kingdom and the Empire dozens of times over without effort. This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
But because they prioritized caution, they missed many opportunities, something that even caused Momonga some regrets.
But this was just Momonga’s nature — he placed great importance on Nazarick, which was the collective effort of all their comrades, and he viewed the Guardians and NPCs, created with their companions’ love, as his own children.
Which parent would let their children run wild and disappear in a strange new environment?
Anyone with even a little responsibility wouldn’t allow that.
And Momonga had watched over Nazarick day after day for years.
Even without Luke’s company, he supported the entire guild by himself.
This pure and profound love was the main reason why even the most evil Guardians in the original story viewed him as their father, husband, and were utterly loyal to him.
“Luke-san, do you have any opinions?”
Momonga could only think of so much for now.
There might be many things he had overlooked, but without accurate intel, all he could do was act like a turtle.
“I have no objections at all, Momonga.” Luke gave his trademark shrug, showing no disagreement.
In reality, Luke definitely had objections — this whole situation just felt like a waste of time.
But without enough information, even if Luke said he wanted to conquer the world, Momonga would never agree.
“Then, let’s adjourn for today.
Everyone, return to rest.
We’ll act later.
Due to the lack of intelligence, if anything unexpected happens, do not recklessly overexert yourselves, protecting yourselves is the top priority.”
“There is one last thing I want to ask all the Guardians.
First, Shalltear, to you — what kind of people do you think Luke and I are?”
Momonga wanted to confirm what impression he and Luke, the only two remaining guild members, had left in their hearts.
“The crystallization of beauty, the most beautiful people in this world. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Even gems cannot compare to your snow-white body, Momonga-sama, and Luke-sama’s seductive figure.”
What the hell — that sounded like praise, and it was praise, but wasn’t that just blatantly declaring her necrophilia and bone fetish?!
‘Damn you, Peroroncino!
What kind of weird settings did you add?!
It was bad enough that she was into yuri, but now she gets excited just by looking at Momonga and even dragged me into it too!’
But there was no doubt that this was Shalltear’s truest inner thought — her loyalty made her naturally speak her fetish aloud.
Momonga nodded, then turned to Cocytus.
“The Supreme Being, and the rightful rulers of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.” Cocytus answered respectfully.
Next was Aura, “Two people full of compassion and careful thought.”
Compared to you guys, Luke and Momonga really are quite compassionate — no lies there…
Then Mare spoke after his sister, “V-very gentle people.”
When Momonga’s gaze shifted to Demiurge, “Luke-sama is the mightiest warrior, with wise eyes that seem to see through everything.
And Momonga-sama, with wise judgment and swift action — you are a flawless person.”
“The one we love most, and our most respected leader.” said the four councils.
“The one who integrated all the Supreme Beings, full of compassion, who never abandoned us until the very end, and chose to remain and fight alongside us.” Sebas.
“Our Supreme Being Luke-sama, who understands and cherishes us, the highest authority of the Supreme Beings, and our greatest master.
Momonga-sama is also the one I love most.” Albedo.
“I see.
I now fully understand everyone’s thoughts.
Then, from here on, the work once handled by my comrades will be entrusted to you.
Continue to serve faithfully.”
