The golden eyes fixed on Ainz, and the young man spoke: "Would you like to give it a try? Try your [Twenty] item and see if it works on me?"

Ainz fell silent again, his mind rapidly assessing the disparity between his own forces and the enemy's.

However, his face soon revealed a clear look of fear.

The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became.

He recalled the scene from before.

The dazzling sword light, the vast aura that filled the heavens and earth, and the terrifying magical power as boundless as the ocean.

The young man simply standing there caused Ainz to feel that intense heart palpitation.

It is unknown when, but a seed of fear had been planted in Ainz's heart.

'This person before me is someone I cannot contend with.'

This idea began to take root and gradually caused Ainz to lose his last bit of fighting spirit.

Roya keenly seized upon Ainz's wavering. A thought struck him, and he suddenly spoke up: "Actually, Ainz, your greatest enemy is not me."

Ainz's lips twitched. He stared blankly at the young man before him, his gaze fixed on the collapsed three-tiered Great Tomb of Nazarick below.

At this moment, Ainz really wanted to ask: This is not the biggest enemy? You've already come to our doorstep, isn't this the biggest threat?

The two sentences above were stuck in his throat, making him want to say them but unable to.

Ignoring Ainz's constipated expression, Roya continued, "I told you, there are enemies in this world that are over level 100."

Ainz, of course, would not forget the former ruler of this world.

However, the current crisis forced him to change course and focus his attention on Roya.

"So what?"

Ainz's tone did not soften even though Roja had brought up an external enemy.

Luo Ya chuckled and said directly, "I've already said that if you agree to my demands, my faction will immediately give up opposing you."

Ainz remained silent, but his attitude still revealed his deep distrust.

"Don't you understand? Let me repeat it again. I will give up on being an enemy of the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick. At that time, your enemy will no longer be me, but the one hidden deep within this world."

"Compared to me, that one's attitude is much more resolute. You are not human, and your camp even leans towards the evil camp. Do you think it will just let you go like this?"

Roya spoke with great conviction, but Ainz interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "All of this is based on the premise that you really won't interfere in this matter anymore."

"If you can truly guarantee that you won't interfere again, then what's wrong with giving you world-class items?"

Upon hearing this, Roya immediately understood Ainz's bottom line.

Despite saying that, Ainz was definitely tempted, but he was still somewhat uneasy about Roja and the forces behind him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Roya echoed Ainz's words, saying, "We certainly have sincerity. If you have any items similar to an alliance, we can also establish an alliance."

Hearing Roja say that, Ainz's expression softened a little.

However, the two then disagreed on the issue of world-class items.

"However, five world-class items are still too many. It's impossible for me to take out so many world-class items and give them to you. That's absolutely impossible."

Ainz is holding on tight and has no intention of letting go.

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Luo Ya had no choice but to lower the price, saying, "What about the four world-class items?"

Roa's response was still a firm denial from Ainz.

"No."

Luo Ya's brows furrowed quickly, and the young man asked somewhat displeasedly, "Then how many props do you want?"

"Two."

Luo Ya chuckled coldly and said, "You can let me choose?"

This statement was naturally denied by Ainz.

"impossible."

Roya's face quickly darkened, and he began to consider whether it would be more profitable to conquer the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Seeing the fierce glint in Roja's eyes, Ainz knew he had gone too far in bargaining. He felt a little scared, gritted his teeth, and said directly, "Three world-class items, but I will randomly pick them for you. This is my bottom line."

Chapter 442 Changing Bodies?

Roya fell into deep thought.

Are three world-class items a lot?

That must be a huge amount. If it were any other power, let alone three items, being able to produce even one would be considered incredibly wealthy.

However, Luo Ya was still somewhat dissatisfied with the result.

The reason is simple: he felt he could extort something more from him.

The negotiations then stalled at this stage.

No matter how much Roya tried to persuade him, Ainz remained unyielding, sticking to the three World Items. His attitude left Roya feeling somewhat helpless.

The two talked for a long time, and through a combination of coercion and enticement, Luo Ya revealed almost every idea he could think of.

Ainz nodded or shook his head at times.

Seeing that he couldn't squeeze any more money out of him, Roya had no choice but to compromise and say, "Alright then, three items it is, but I require you to pay me with other magic as compensation."

If it were the old Ainz, he would definitely have agreed upon hearing this news.

However, this time Ainz remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Can you learn our magic?"

Roya smiled and readily admitted, "Yes, I can learn your magic."

Ainz sighed softly, his expression full of helplessness.

"Yes, I should have known better, you cunning human."

Ainz looked at Roya with a complicated expression on his face.

Roya grinned, revealing a bright, sunny smile, and said, "So? This shouldn't be a loss for you, right?"

Ainz gave Roya a deep look and said, "If I had known from the beginning that you possessed such abilities, I wouldn't have used any magic, not even tenth-tier magic, let alone super-tier magic."

Roja shrugged, picking up where Ainz left off: "But it's too late now, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's all too late."

Ainz could not be denied that, despite being just a skeleton, Roya felt that he seemed to have become even more distressed.

"So, what's your decision?"

Roya didn't have much patience and went straight to the point, asking the question directly. The previous argument with Ainz had already exhausted Roya's patience.

If the other party still refuses to agree to this request this time, he wouldn't mind annihilating the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Ainz understood Roja's thoughts and knew that this was their bottom line. Without much hesitation, he nodded and agreed.

"No problem, let's settle on that then. As for world-class items, that's a very important matter. As for your few world-class items, we'll need to discuss them internally at the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Please come over in three days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer then."

Ainz's tone softened, and the two reconciled, escaping the tense atmosphere from before.

Ainz was naturally a little reluctant to hand over three World Items, but once he made the decision, that reluctance quickly turned into relief. The weight on his heart was finally lifted, and the immediate crisis was resolved.

How could this not make Ainz feel at ease?

If possible, Ainz really didn't want to use any of the items from [Twenty].

Ainz had witnessed Roya's strength firsthand. Previously, Ainz and four guardians had attacked Roya together, but they were utterly defeated.

The information revealed by Roya shocked Ainz even more.

Roya possesses two time-related skills, which means that it is extremely difficult for ordinary items and skills to work on Roya.

Even world-class items can only pose a significant threat to Roya if they are causal items.

For example, the Saint-Slaying Spear, a level 20 item.

Unfortunately, Ainz doesn't have this world-class item, and even if he did, he wouldn't want to use it here.

Because Roya's negotiations showed Ainz that it was possible for them to turn enemies into friends. Since they could turn enemies into friends, there was no need to resort to such methods.

Without using [Twenty], the chance of defeating Roya is almost zero.

This is why Ainz was willing to negotiate with Roya and hand over three World Items; he was thinking of paying a price to avoid further trouble.

In the end, neither of them wanted things to get too tense.

Reaching a consensus now would be ideal.

However, just as Ainz was about to leave, Roja called out to him.

"Ainz, wait a minute."

Ainz turned around, glanced at Roya, and said in a deep voice, "Is there anything else?"

"Our deal is not finished yet."
