Overlord x Myths: Pantheon

Creator of the Blazing Inferno

Ainz smiled inside when he heard of Demiurge's crush on Rhea and was fully supportive of him. Having his children and subordinates happy, gaining new knowledge and discovering new things are what makes him happy.

Engrossed in happiness, Ainz frowned as his emotion got suppressed. Even after thousands of years he couldn't bypass it, only allowing it to do as it pleased, which had helped him immensely in ruling Planet Gown.

Being calm and rational in every situation was a blessing, as well as a curse.

With a calm mind, Ainz began to realize that Demurge had given him more information than he may have realized. The most important of the information could be surmised into one word, ' Real'. The way Demiurge explained Cronos' action which didn't confound with myths would prove that his knowledge of myths might be useless, or maybe this was something the myths omitted?

The second piece of information came to be because of the first. Since the world was real and then people would act like real people, not according to a script. Also if this world was real, it's unlikely for there to be only Greek Myths, it's possible that other pantheons of gods existed.

Ainz's mind lit up as he realized why he gave Vince that order. He knew since the first world that he would subconsciously create plans and ideas that he failed to realize he was doing until the fruit was ripe.

Over the years, Ainz realized that he possessed two minds in his body. His human mind which he mainly uses, and what is in the control of his body. His undead side doesn't necessarily care for the things that he does but it values the thing he loves, for example Nazarick, the NPCs etc.

Whatever goal he wanted to achieve his undead side would conduct a series of plans that his human side cannot fathom, thus why Demuige always thinks he is smart but he himself thinks he is not.

With knowledge that the gods of his old world might be real in this world, Ainz didn't become scared but excited. With Cronos' power level in mind, he doubted the gods of other pantheons could match him, so he was relaxed and calmly thought of his actions going forward.

Ainz began to contemplate what he should do in this world? If everything is as he assumes, he had a great edge in knowing the future or one of the many futures. With this knowledge, if he went back to Japan, he could easily change their past, at the same time influencing the future. In this world, he was truly a Supreme Being as gods might not be his equal.

'Hmm? Maybe I should not rule this world like I did the last one? In the last world, I'm the Supreme Being of Life, Death, Peace and many others; none in Planet Gown don't know of my name, Ainz Ooal Gown!! Even players that were allowed to live obey my orders as if the decree of God Himself! However with absolute control and power came boredom of no one opposing my rule, which was why I was hesitating on the destiny of this world.'

Ainz began to write ideas down on a piece of paper, scratching some out and adding them repeatedly. After a couple of hours only a few words remain and fit his fancy.

Mediator, basically he would pretend he created this world and uphold some illusionary laws he would create, which all beings must follow or face his wrath.

It probably wouldn't hold up, as in this world where the gods are real, there are many creation gods but not at the level of world creation.

Colliusm; Ainz planned to use the Sixth Floor Amphitheater to host tournaments between disputing gods or other beings worthy of causing natural disaster.

There were many other points, but Ainz couldn't think what they would result in so he held off on them first.

Focusing on the word 'Mediator', Ainz began to draw a scroll that he planned for one of the Librarians to create. It is simple for him to create the scroll but difficult for him to add the effects and visuals he wants it to have, after all he wasn't a blacksmith or a runesmith.
