Blood of the Ancients(Overlord x Great One Male Reader)

2: New Beginnings

"Raise your heads." Momonga instructed the bowing NPCs. After a moment's thought, he continued.

  "You all did well to gather here. Thank you." He told them, drawing reactions of surprise from the still-kneeling guardians.

  "Your thanks is wasted upon us. We have all pledged ourselves to you. You may find us lacking, however, we vow to work hard and live up to the expectations of the supreme beings who created us." Albedo told him.

"We vow this to you." All the guardians spoke at once to say this, bringing an imaginary smile to your face.

"Wonderful, guardians." You told them.

  "You have all done us well. We appreciate this now as we have before, and hold those high expectations which you vow to live up to, as well as confidence in your ability to do so. As for why you are gathered..." you looked up at Momonga for the answer. He nodded, beginning the explanation.

  "Right now, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is caught up in an unknown situation. I already had Sebas survey our surroundings..." Momonga paused to turn towards the head butler, who bowed, approaching you and Momonga to deliver the news.

"Grasslands?" Momonga asked Sebas, surprised.

"Yes. Completely different from the swamps that surrounded the Great Tomb of Nazarick, I could not confirm a single building, human, or monster in a one kilometer radius." Sebas reported.

  "I see. It seems that Nazarick has been transported to an unknown land for some reason."  Momonga relayed.

  "Floor guardian leader, Albedo. As well as the defensive leader, Demiurge."

  "Yes!" Both named guardians answered in unison.

  "Create a stronger information sharing system and fortify our defenses!"

  "Yes!"

  "Mare, is there a feasible way to conceal the Great Tomb of Nazarick?" You questioned.

  "Well, it would be difficult with just magic..." Mare admitted.

  "But, if we covered the walls with dirt and concealed ourselves with vegetation...-"

  "You want to smear the glorious Nazarick walls with dirt?" Albedo interrupted.

  "No unnecessary remarks, please." You reminded her.

"I apologize, Lord Y/n!"

"Mare, do as you must to hide our halls from prying eyes, even if it means covering our walls with dirt."

"Y-yes, but..." Mare paused, looking at Momonga.

"A random mound would look unnatural, wouldn't it?" The lich noted.

"Sebas, were there any hills around the area?" He asked.

"No. Unfortunately, we are surrounded by flatlands." Sebas told him.

"I see. Then, what would happen if we made dummy hills in the area?" Momonga suggested.

"I believe we would blend in such a surrounding." Sebas agreed.

"Then that is what must be done. We will hide open areas that we can't cover with illusions afterward. Do you have any objections, Momonga?" You inquired.

"I do not. It is exactly as Y/n has ordered." Was your answer.

"G-got it." Mare nodded.

"Now, lastly, I wanted to ask each floor guardian something." Momonga announced.
