A/N: Second to last chapter time! So, this is about to turn in a direction I swore up and down I wasn't going to do for years. Now, however, you are going to see how your feedback changed my story lol. This was always meant to be a retelling of canon, in my own way, then end, as canon will. However, I had a lot of people ask me to write crossovers in the years I've been writing this, and I realized last year that if I ever wanted to write a crossover, and it is not a single chapter of Ainz and Nazarick immediately taking over whatever they wanted, I'd have to do what I swore I would never do, so, rejoice, my dear readers, you wore me down enough and most of you are getting your wish in this chapter, Ainz and company's relationship being joined by some from the New World. Not that I mind, but I found myself rather pleased you all changed my mind as I started writing crossovers not long after I changed my outline and looked toward the future of my fanfic. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever finish the crossovers I planned, but I did start writing them so maybe I'll just release what I have one day and let someone else finish them if they wish. The reason I said nothing before this was because I didn't want to get bombarded with pairings for Ainz of women from the New World lmao! Please don't suggest any now, I already have a set list that will be joining, and it won't be changing. Enjoy!

SternRitter B: Let me start off by saying I absolutely love reviews like the one you left and nothing about it or you says "hater" to me. Reviews like yours are how I got better at writing and ones I genuinely love reading. I mean, not sure how anyone could get mad when there are only a few parts here and there you dislike, and my fanfic is nearly 500k words lol (might be over that when I post this chapter). I know you asked/said a lot, and I'll try to answer it as best I can without making this reply exceptionally long (which it kind of already is without answering anything yet, so we all know it will be very long lol) The part with Philip I ABSOLUTELY expected everyone to know who Philip was already and enjoy his fate. I said it a long time ago, but this is based on the Light Novels, not the anime, so there would be some parts that if you didn't read the Light Novels, you'd be lost. I'll continue to do that as well because the Light Novels are canon to me, and the anime is just a bonus to watch. They leave out way too much in the anime that is fantastic in the Light Novels so if you haven't read them, you might find yourself questioning parts I've written. I'd say sorry, but I did warn everyone a long time ago it would be like this (That's why you should always read the A/Ns, authors don't add them just because they feel like it lol). Also, nearly everything else about the fanfic you didn't like or enjoy I did explain a few chapters ago. I can't remember if it was in the A/Ns or a reply to a reader's review, but I did address Taylar's outburst at Lord Aiden, Ainz's outburst at Philip, etc. That is simply me not being able to separate my own emotions from my writing at the time. I was very angry a lot when I wrote those parts, and it obviously came through in my writing. I did mean to go back and rewrite some of those parts, but it had been so long since then, it seemed pointless since it probably won't be read again by many of my readers. Instead, I'm having to explain them away, or ignore them and act like it never happened, because I failed to go back and rewrite those moments before I posted it or waited so long to do it. You will actually get to see, in the first section, me address one of those moments, Taylar's to be specific, and how I'm trying to correct the errors of me writing with my own emotions instead of those of the character I was writing at the time, I actually wrote 95% of the first section before I even posted the last chapter so it is ironic a bit that you left a review about it lol. Last thing because this is stupid long already is about Ainz's attractiveness. I find it beyond reasonable, and in fact, probably, canon that Ainz is as good-looking as I keep describing. There is a hierarchy to everything in Overlord, and that includes beauty. Now, I don't say this as a writer of my characters, but of everyone in Overlord in general. In canon, Emperor Jircniv calls the Homunculi Maids world-class beauties that surpassed even the most beautiful royals of the New World, and Yuri and Lupusregina he stated were even more stunning than the Homunculi Maids, not to mention everyone in Re-Estize found Albedo so stunning in canon they completely disregarded the fact she was a powerful, evil Demon and only could say how insanely beautiful the woman was. Even Ainz, as a skeleton, had women in canon think he was beautiful, as an undead skeleton. So, it obviously goes, New World world-class beauties (Calca, Draudillon, Renner, etc.) than the regular workers of Nazarick (Homunculi Maids, etc.) then Pleaides then Floor Guardians then Supreme Beings/Players as each gets a bit more "beautiful" as it goes up. It certainly stands to reason that if Ainz actually had a body women would "desire", instead of being a skeleton, he'd be stupidly beautiful to everyone, not just those from Nazarick that fawn over him, and I afford Taylar the same level of awe since she is also a Player. To everyone in the New World, he and Taylar would be so good-looking it would defy logic to them. Not only are they Players (at the top of the hierarchy) they are both angel avatars. Angels, in any game, or description period you can find, are essentially stupidly good-looking humans with wings, based on those two criteria alone, they'd easily be the most beautiful two beings in nearly any World. The only thing about your review I didn't get was in this section as well. I'm not sure at what point I had someone act a certain way they never would if Ainz was as good-looking as I'm writing him. It's true, not everyone is consumed by romance and sex, but even if someone wasn't interested in any of that, when someone who is absolutely gorgeous to you comes across your path, you'd be thinking about things you never did before. There is an amazing example of this in canon actually. In LN Vol 12, part 1 of the Holy Kingdom Arc, when Neia, Remedios, and everyone have their audience with Ainz, Remedios is so astounded by Albedo's beauty when she first meets her, she stutters and becomes flustered, and this is REMEDIOS we are talking about. Kelart says it in the same novel, but Remedios is totally consumed by combat and that is all. She has no interest in anything that doesn't have to do with combat; romance, plays, music, etc. However, upon meeting Albedo, a woman she would despise on principal for being a Demon, she is so taken back by her beauty that it affects even someone as dense and clueless as her to romance in a way that should be completely out of character for Remedios, and this is canon, not a fanfic. I'd love an example of someone not interested in Ainz that I did in this fanfic that made someone act as they shouldn't because I re-read most of it looking for an example like that, and I couldn't find one. Since this reply is stupidly long already, I'll end it here and say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR REVIEW! Things like this are what make me a better writer, and I hope you enjoy the ending of this story! I'm very sorry this reply is basically a chapter in itself lmao!
