She was extremely tired, a kind of fatigue that reminded her of her childhood, when she underwent incredibly brutal training, pushing her limits time and time again, constantly squeezing out every last drop of potential from her body, until the last drop of sweat dried up, until the last bit of strength was used up.

She is in this situation right now.

"Yo, you're awake."

The voice echoed in Zesshi Zesshi's ears; it sounded somewhat familiar, which made her very concerned.

She opened her somewhat tired eyes, looked up, and saw an extremely handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes, his pale golden eyes filled with curiosity.

The young man smiled as he looked her over.

This blatant scrutiny didn't make her uncomfortable; on the contrary, she even felt a vague excitement.

The young man's appearance began to rapidly overlap with the scene she had witnessed before. She recalled that sword strike, that divine sword strike, and the rising sun. At that moment, she felt as if she had seen a god.

"Um, um, are you that senior?"

"Ze Shi Ze Ming asked hesitantly, his voice slightly hoarse."

Roya scratched his head and replied, "Is there anyone else here besides me? Besides, weren't you watching the whole time?"

"Yes, is that so?"

Jue Si Jue Ming was somewhat uneasy. The girl had lived for such a long time and experienced countless storms.

But at this moment, she was so nervous that she couldn't even speak properly.

"But it seems the resurrection went smoothly."

"resurrection!"

Only then did Zesshi Zesshi realize that she had already died once. The terrifying scene from before echoed in her mind. The sharp scream pierced her eardrums and took her life almost instantly. As for the powerful attack that Ainz unleashed afterward, she didn't even see it.

Even so, that feeling almost suffocated Zetsumei.

Even if she was just caught in the crossfire, would it have cost her her life?

Is this a duel between the strong?

Zesshi Zesshi smiled bitterly, but when his heterochromatic eyes looked at Roya, they held a strange emotion.

"Did you save my life? Well, with your immense power, it's no wonder you possess resurrection magic."

Resurrection magic is indeed rare in this world, but it does exist.

The fifth-tier resurrection magic that any priest who has entered the Heroic realm can cast is not a surprising thing for a veteran who can take on five level 100 NPCs single-handedly.

Roya nodded slightly and asked, "I used the highest-level resurrection magic, so your attributes shouldn't have decreased too much. However, as a resurrection penalty, you definitely won't be able to use much power recently. Feel it out."

"That's true."

Seeing that Zesshi Zesshi was not in any major danger, Luo Ya said directly, "Now that you've come back to life, rest for a bit and head back. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, Luo Ya planned to use advanced teleportation to leave this place directly.

However, the girl quickly spoke up at that moment: "Senior, when can we meet again?"

Luo Ya glanced back at the other person and noticed that the other person's gaze seemed strange.

However, Luo Ya didn't think much of it and casually replied, "See you again sometime."

The next moment, Roya's figure disappeared from the spot.

Only Zetsuki and Zetsumei remained, staring blankly at the spot where Roya had disappeared, lost in thought.

"Is it fate?"

She murmured softly, her face flushed, and her heterochromatic black and white eyes held a look of infatuation.

------------

Another location is the vast grassland at the northwestern tip of the continent, where the Kingdom of Ri-Yestijge, the Bahars Empire, and the Slane Theocracy meet.

Suddenly, three figures appeared. All three figures were more or less wounded and looked extremely miserable. One of them even had his armor shattered and looked utterly disheveled.

These three were none other than Cocytus, Demiurge, and Shalltear, who had gone together to fight against Roa.

And this is naturally their lair, the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Shalltear coughed up a mouthful of blood, her expression slightly ferocious, and asked, "Where do we go next?"

Demiurge replied expressionlessly, "Lord Ainz is in the throne room."

"What?"

Shalltear's expression changed immediately; they knew best what was going on in their own base.

"Even Lord Ainz is no match for you?" Cocytus's voice was still muffled, but everyone could hear the helplessness in his words.

"This time, we were careless. We greatly underestimated that human. I didn't expect that guy to be this powerful."

Demiurge's tone was low; this time he had suffered a major setback.

The group stopped chatting and immediately got to work.

The outermost layer of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is an illusion barrier; passing through the illusion barrier, one can see the cemetery.

The cemetery contains a large and solemn central shrine, through which one can enter the actual Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The moment the three stepped into the entrance, two figures had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Everyone, it's good that you're all alright."

"The heavy burden in my heart has finally been lifted."

Standing before the three were the two dark elf twins, Aura Bella Fiora and Mare Bello Fiora, both guardians.

"Has the master returned?"

"They've returned, and they're right here among the thrones."

"Ah."

After greeting the two, Demiurge headed straight for the throne room. The two elves exchanged a glance and followed the main group to the tenth throne room.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick has strong spatial interference. To reach the Throne Room on the tenth floor, one can only travel to the next floor by passing through the magic circles involved on each floor.

Although this is troublesome, it also prevents the enemy from wiping them out in one fell swoop.

The five of them headed to the tenth floor together. They were all guardians, so they moved very quickly and there were no accidents along the way. They soon arrived at the Throne Room.

This is an enormous, almost extravagant place. The room is predominantly white, adorned with various gemstones, and several magnificent, multicolored crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Under the light, these gemstones appear even more radiant and dazzling.

Around the walls were huge flags with various patterns, totaling as many as forty.

Gold and silver are the only colors in this hall.

The most striking feature of the hall is the staircase with more than ten steps, at the top of which is a huge throne made of massive crystal with a backrest that reaches the sky.

On the wall behind the throne hung a huge red flag with a symbol painted on it. That flag was much larger than the forty flags planted on the wall, and was obviously of far greater importance than the former.

This is the Throne Room, located at the deepest and most important part of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

In the game, you can manage many affairs within the Great Tomb of Nazarick through the system provided by the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown".

At the same time, this is also where NPCs are managed. If an NPC dies outside, they will eventually be resurrected here and return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

For example, Shalltear was resurrected in the Throne Room after being defeated by Ainz.

When everyone arrived, their gazes were fixed on the imposing figure sitting at the very top, silent and burly. Beside him stood a bewitching figure, none other than Albedo, who had already been resurrected.

Ainz held a golden scepter in his hand, and the flames of his soul flickered in his eyes.

Upon seeing the two familiar figures, the five guardians knelt down in unison, their voices trembling as they said, "Lord Ainz, it's good that you're alright!"

"Are you alright? You can't say you're alright in this state."

Ainz's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke in a tone that was hard to define as either a sigh or a reflection.

Ainz had made thorough preparations this time, but unexpectedly, he still suffered a crushing defeat.

Demiurge inquired, "So, Lord Ainz, what's the next step?"

Ainz stopped speaking, his gaze turning icy cold.

"Since we've already made an enemy of each other, we have no choice but to fight to the death. However, I don't have a good idea of ​​how to deal with this person."

At this point, Ainz recalled what Roa had said and felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Two time-related skills: instant and time zero.

This was a skill he had never even heard of before, and it had an unbelievable effect.

The effects of these two skills are far superior to Shalltear's time acceleration, making it virtually impossible to defeat Roja head-on.

This time, Ainz felt the profound gap in strength, and this feeling of despair was something he had never experienced before.

Seemingly sensing Ainz's hesitation, Demiurge suddenly spoke up: "Should we target the people around him?"

"That Rose Squad seems to be getting very close to him lately?"

"."

Ainz remained silent, his heart also feeling utterly cold.

Putting aside whether Roya and Blue Rose have a good relationship, if they really are that good, wouldn't taking action like this be tantamount to deliberately provoking the other party and deliberately causing trouble?

Without Ainz needing to elaborate, they had already considered this idea.
