"He will not be Aria's father or mother! Only I am her parental figure!" Ainz stated for the tenth time, and they still looked concerned. 'WHY DO THEY THINK I WANT TO CO-PARENT WITH THAT STRANGER?! I DON'T LIKE MEN!' His mind cried.

We finally got onto Pandora's Actor reiterating what happened during the fight, and Albedo was pissed that he made Ainz into a coward. "Do you think that Lord Ainz, as the Sorcerer King and absolute ruler of the Tomb of Nazarick, would ever drop to his knees like that?" Albedo hissed at Pandora's Actor.

"You are right." He gasped. "Lord Ainz would have never done something like that."

"In your mind, you would." I looked up at Ainz.

'Yep.' Ainz admitted in his mind.

"Albedo, why do you have a problem with him bending over? Didn't you say you wanted Dad to bend over for you?" I asked her.

Ainz's jaw dropped. "Albedo." Demiurge started at her.

"Lady Aria, I want Lord Ainz to bend over me!" Albedo corrected me, and I didn't get it.

"Argh." Demirge smirked.

"What's the difference?" I asked.

"No answers!" Ainz ordered. "You did an excellent job, Pandora's Actor. If that is all it takes for an enemy to drop their guard, why not do it? You lose nothing by getting on your knees."

'I want to lose something by doing that!' Shalltear's mind whined from next to me.

"On top of that, it makes it easy for your opponent to grossly underestimate you." Ainz hummed. "You have set up quite a poisonous trap."

"Yes!" Pandora's Actor nodded.

But we still do not have enough information and we have more questions too. I don't fully understand one of his powers." Ainz admitted.

"His barrier." Pandora's Actor stated.

"World Isolation Barrier." I let out making it around us. "Al got through it, but Pan didn't."

"Me? Me?!" Pandora's Actor squealed at the nickname then rolled across the floor when I nodded.

"Since Albedo, who has Ginnungagap, was the only one who could break through that barrier," Ainz explained. "It was probably created using a world item. His item is probably similar to the Depiction of Nature and Society that I gave Aura."

"Please wait, Lord Ainz." Pandora's Actor asked. "I saw Riku's HP drop when he cast the World Isolation Barrier, the same for Lady Aria just now."

'...HUH?! IS SHE DYING?!' Ainz screamed in his mind then stood up and held me up and I gave him a thumbs up since I felt fine.

"Her HP healed instantly." Pandora's Actor reassured him and Ainz slumped into his throne then sighed in relief. "I think it is some kind of skill. Lady Aria is able to use all of them like she can with any spell."

"She is able to, and I have never heard of a world item that uses your HP," Ainz admitted. "And his HP drops when he used other skills as well, correct?"

"Yes. His HP dropped when he used skills like teleportation." Pandora's Actor confirmed, and I'm not getting it at all.

"There are world items that have various uses, but the ability to strengthen weapons and armour, teleportation and barrier creation. Those abilities are far too different from one another." Ainz mumbled.

"...Not World Item?" I asked, and Ainz fed me a sweet proud I followed that.

"It seems there was a need to take a loss against this Riku one more time." Ainz hummed shocking the others. "I don't like to lose on purpose, either. But we must know everything about the enemy in order to achieve an absolute victory."

Ainz has a kid!? (Overlord)Where stories live. Discover now
