High above the formidable fortress of Nazarick, a resplendent golden army hovered ominously. Three majestic golden galleons led the formation, bearing the elite guardians of the Tower. The Ten Archangels of Sephira, the Five Ancient Buddhas, The Eight True Dragons, Seven Deadly Sins, Papiyas, and Shub-Niggurath stood at the forefront, their combined might capable of conquering any high-level guild. Yet, they faced no ordinary adversary, but an enemy that could potentially counter them.

Ainz, flanked by Rubedo and Halo, teleported to the vanguard of this formidable force. They cast their gaze upon the Tomb, its statues standing silent and imposing. As Ainz descended to the ground, the guardians followed suit. Ainz's royal guards remained behind, their hands gripping their weapons, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice from their Emperor or Halo.

Meanwhile, within the grand meeting chambers of the Royal Floating Castle in the Capital, all Overseers were engrossed in the unfolding spectacle. Demiurge presided over the round table, where several floating panels provided different perspectives of the ongoing standoff.

Acadia touched his temple, casting a spell, "「Message: Rovuna and Cocytus, invade all cities except for Arwintar and Re-Estize City, do not let any of the Death Knights or other spawns escape」". Cocytus confirmed the order with a resounding, "「WE. WILL. ATTACK. NOW.」". They had no intention of allowing unknown enemies inside the Tomb to join the fray.

Asherah issued orders to her sons, Michael and Lucifer, to ready their forces, while Angela rallied her own seraphs for deployment. Albedo mobilized all Yggdrasil Supreme Army groups and dispatched 30 new airships, entrusting Commander-General Pixel with the defense of the Capital against any potential invasion.

The Half of the Royal Guards, a formidable force of ten thousand, were divided into five contingents and assigned to the Five Overseers. Their duty was clear - to guard the Overseers and execute their orders without question.

Descending from the sky, Ainz, flanked by Rubedo and Halo, landed before the imposing tomb of Nazarick. As expected, they were met by the Pleiades Battle Maids, clad in their gleaming armor-like maid outfits. The temperature around the tomb plummeted as the aura of Ainz's guardians filled the air. The Eight Dragons, known for their durability and high HP, took the front line.

Papiyas, with her rifle at the ready, targeted Yuri Alpha, the Pleiades maid in the center. "Momonga-sama? I thought you-" Yuri began, but Ainz, unsheathing his Holy Sword, cut her off.

"Fire, Papiyas," he commanded. As the words left his mouth, Papiyas pulled the trigger. The bullet, encircled by a hundred magic circles, let out a deafening boom as it pierced Yuri's forehead. She exploded into a hundred pieces, each fragment incinerating instantly.

"Why are you doing this, Momonga-sama!!" Lupusregina cried out, dashing towards him. But before she could reach halfway up the flight of stairs, a Dragonoid, a sibling of Kulshedra named Volos, blocked her path. She collided with him, and he wrapped her in a crushing hug. As she struggled to free herself, Volos breathed fire onto the maid. His reptilian, stone-like tail pierced her skull, and her lifeless body fell to the ground.
