As for whether doing this would be too unethical, considering that there is a senior being surrounded by a group of people at the very front.
This was no longer something they should be thinking about. They could only pray that Roya was strong enough to escape the encirclement. As for killing all of the other side, none of them had even considered that.
Luo Ya is indeed a very strong Dragon King, but his opponent is equally powerful. Judging from this situation, even a Dragon King would be defeated here.
The figures of the group flickered with blue light, but just as they were about to disappear, Ainz chuckled and said, "Since you're already here, why leave?"
"High-level spatial blockade!"
After saying that, Ainz pointed his finger, and an invisible magical force spread out, enveloping everyone in the arena.
The blue light dissipated, and everyone remained frozen in place, their faces as pale as paper.
"Maru spicy!"
This was everyone's thought, and many people looked ashen-faced.
Among them were many experts in the realm of heroes, and even quite a few at the level of deviant individuals, but these combat forces were like ants in front of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which could be easily crushed with a gentle squeeze.
However, Ainz's gaze was not on Zetsu and the others at this moment; his attention was mainly focused on Roya.
"How about we compromise this time? I don't want to antagonize you. I've come here only to personally wipe out all the people from the Slan Theocracy. If you can hand over the people of the Slan Theocracy to me, this matter can be settled."
Ainz still did not want to fight Roya. He could not afford such a loss, and he did not want to antagonize the forces behind Roya so soon.
This operation was undoubtedly aimed at the Slane Theocracy from the very beginning. The Slane Theocracy had indeed crossed his bottom line. In fact, it could be said that from the moment the Slane Theocracy used a World Item on Shalltear, subjecting her to mental control, Ainz had already decided to fight them to the death.
But the Slane Theocracy was ultimately a nation founded by the six gods, and the six gods, like him, were players.
Since even world-class artifacts have been left behind, this country might indeed have some trump card that can be activated in a critical moment, just as Roya said.
The Shalltear incident served as a reminder to Ainz that if he attacked rashly, even with Nazarick's strength, he would likely suffer unnecessary losses.
Ainz has already resurrected Shalltear once, and with the vast wealth of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, resurrecting a few more guardians would not be a problem.
But no matter what, this is the foundation of a huge power. Three hundred million gold coins is no joke. It's always good to be cautious, which led to Ainz's plan.
The plan was to secretly send out Shalltear, the visible flag, as bait to invade the kingdom's cities and begin to further erode the country's power, all while keeping the Great Tomb of Nazarick secret. At the same time, Ainz deliberately spread some information to the Slane Theocracy.
This was both a test of Ainz's vision for the world and an opportunity to wipe out the entire high-end fighting force of the Slane Theocracy.
The actual plan was also very successful. As soon as the news of Shalltear spread, it attracted all the members of the Dark Scripture from thousands of miles away. While Roa was fighting Shalltear, they planned to cooperate with Roa from the inside and directly eliminate Shalltear, this troublesome person.
It's fair to say that Ainz and his group would have been quite satisfied with the plan if Roja hadn't interfered.
The key point is that Roya still came out to stir things up.
In fact, Ainz had considered this possibility, but it was something that couldn't be avoided.
The reason is also very simple.
Ainz is not alone; he came into this world with a super power.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick is more powerful than any country or power in the world, and Ainz, who possesses such power, cannot limit himself to just one place if he wants to expand.
However, the world's resources are limited. If one side wants to acquire more, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of the other side. Naturally, the side whose interests are infringed will not be willing to give up what originally belonged to them, and thus contradictions and conflicts arise.
It can be said that Ainz's desire to develop necessitates war, which is unavoidable. In this world, only overwhelming power is the only truth.
However, Ainz possesses such formidable strength, enough to challenge anyone. How could he possibly give up his vast potential and submit to someone else just because of a few words from Roya?
So even if Luo Ya fabricated a fictitious force, when it comes to real interests, they still need to go through a few rounds of fighting before the outcome can be determined.
However, it's true that Ainz doesn't want to antagonize Roya right now, which is why he said what he just said.
However, Roya's response was very calm.
"No way. I told you before that I hoped you could keep a low profile, but obviously you didn't listen to me. Lately, you've been making more and more big moves. And do you think I don't know about your underhanded tactics?"
“Ainz, think carefully about what you’ve been doing lately. If you were the human you once were, would you have allowed your subordinates to do these things? Like Demiurge’s Happy Ranch.”
"Ainz, your personality seems to be getting colder and colder."
At this point, Roya gave Demiurge and Ainz a meaningful look.
Demiurge's expression changed, and he stared at Roya with hostility.
Ainz's face darkened. What Roya said made sense. He was not unaware of Demiurge's affairs, but he turned a blind eye and let Demiurge pass.
The guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick have very distinct personalities, so it is impossible to forcibly restrain them.
Characters like Demiurge are clearly on the opposite side of humanity.
If it were the same human boy from before, he might have stopped it.
But as time went on, Ainz's temperament became increasingly cold, even to the point of being indifferent.
In fact, he was keenly aware of his own situation.
But what can be done? What's done is done.
He is now the Undead King, the leader of the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick. To Ainz, the people of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are more like a group of children, a group of children he has watched grow up.
He no longer cares about humanity; he cares more about the people around him.
Ainz didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer. The soul fire in his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "So, you've rejected this peace talk and intend to wage war against us?"
Upon hearing this, the four guardians surrounding Roya exuded a terrifying aura.
Luo Ya didn't say anything, but his expression revealed his attitude.
Ainz finally let go of his lingering hope and looked at Roya with a gloomy expression.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it."
Ainz let out a deep sigh, a sigh that seemed to be filled with helplessness.
Ainz's robes fluttered in the wind, and a black aura spread outwards, mainly gathering around Roya.
Luo Ya was quickly enveloped by the black mist. While inside the mist, Luo Ya could clearly feel his life force being devoured.
This is one of Ainz's special abilities, the ability to inflict terror on external targets while weakening their abilities—Despair Aura.
The effect of the Despair Aura is terrifying, and it is an area-of-effect attack. If the level is not high enough or there is no corresponding resistance, it may even trigger an instant death effect, causing the user to die on the spot.
When Ainz uses this skill, its effect is greatly enhanced.
First, there's Ainz's passive skills, which provide attribute bonuses to necromancy-related abilities. Finally, after being enhanced by the scepter in Ainz's hand, this ability can even be effective against NPCs who are also at max level or level 100.
However, such skills were useless against Roya.
"Life is drawn from it".
A golden light flashed by and enveloped Albedo, who was closest to him.
Albedo couldn't dodge in time. The golden light, like a leech, clung to her like a maggot. Although it radiated a gentle light, it was constantly stealing Albedo's life force to replenish Roja's own.
The effects of the Despair Aura were directly negated. Albedo's expression turned extremely pale; she could feel her power constantly draining away.
Albedo was about to make a move when Ainz secretly stopped her.
"give it to me."
Ainz walked towards Roya, his gaze cold. Despite being an enemy, he was unusually calm at this moment.
"In that case, let me get rid of you right here."
The moment the words were spoken, time seemed to freeze.
The world stands still at this moment.
The four guardians, the group of people including Zesshi Zesshi in the distance, and even Roya, all maintained the same posture, standing still.
This was none other than Ainz's magic, a tenth-tier time-based spell—Time Stop!
Logically, casting magic requires chanting, even though a tenth-rank magic can be triggered simply by saying the name of the magic.
Even the name of this seemingly insignificant move reveals the magic Ainz is about to unleash, thus providing the opponent with information.
Ainz had made special preparations for this; he had secretly used another skill before he even arrived.
Magic can be cast without incantation!
The purpose was to unleash this skill instantly, catching Roya off guard.
As it turned out, Ainz's plan was indeed very successful. At this moment, he was the only one in the field who could move.
Chapter 436 Crush
"It seems I was right. You don't have the means to do this. So what if you're fast? You're still no match for this skill."
Ainz seemed to be sighing, but anyone could tell that he was actually very happy.
Time-related magic has always been considered extremely unfair.
Without preparing countermeasures, even the highest level player could lose to a player who can use time-related abilities.
Of course, Ainz's time stop is also limited. It does have a very powerful effect, capable of stopping time instantly and producing unexpected results.
However, there is a very serious limitation: all of the caster's attacks are ineffective during the skill's duration.
In other words, Ainz's magic cannot harm Roja, and attacks such as slashing are ineffective against Roja.
However, this means Ainz cannot do anything else.
