The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Compared to the jealous Rhodes.

Mona's expression remained unchanged.

But her hidden hands were clenched into fists:

"What makes him so special! He's nothing but a dog in the Endless Bone Domain!"

Jealousy gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake.

She devoted herself to conducting countless cruel experiments.

All this was to glimpse the mysteries of life and decay, and to touch the authority that belonged to her.

But now, a guy she'd never even considered has stepped in front of her.

For a fleeting moment, she almost lost her mind due to jealousy!

But in an instant, Mona returned to normal.

boom--!!

next to.

A dull, loud thud, like two mountains colliding, caused the massive, hill-like body to shudder violently.

His fists, made up of countless pieces of biological remains, slammed together with a deafening roar.

"Let me go and kill him!"

The little creatures on the giant's body, soaking in the corrosive liquid, also chimed in.

"A giant can kill him! A giant can definitely kill him!"

However, the next second, that vast and boundless will descended once again.

The three lord-level monsters froze once again.

Even the most ferocious behemoth instantly restrained all its aura, prostrating itself on the ground in submission.

The images in my mind began to writhe and twist into a completely new picture.

The scene shows Xingmi and Tia fleeing in a disheveled state.

They were, after all, lords, and despite being severely injured, they still managed to escape from Pan Gu's clutches.

But just then, a figure appeared out of nowhere in their retreat path.

It was a tall, white jade skeleton, draped in a tattered scholar's robe, with calm, pale blue soul flames burning in its empty eye sockets.

The king of the endless bone realm—the Bone King!

In the scene, Xingmi and Tia are filled with despair.

They still have a glimmer of hope when facing a near-S-class leader who has gained power.

But when faced with a true S-class champion, they don't even have the right to struggle.

Ainz Ooal Gown made no extra movements.

He simply raised his hand slightly.

Xingmi and Tia's bodies suddenly stiffened, and all the life force in them dissipated.

Then, their bodies crumbled like weathered sand sculptures, dissipating into the air.

Clean and neat.

The screen disappeared again.

"roar!"

Pang Ran's suppressed rage finally erupted completely. He abruptly raised his head, his huge single eye filled with bloodshot veins.

"This is a provocation!"

"Killing our people on our own turf is blatant provocation!"

If we say that Pangu severely injured Xingmi and Tia, it could be interpreted as a struggle between subordinates.

So when the Bone King personally took action and completely annihilated the two Lord-level beings, it was a declaration of war by kings against kings!

"Your Majesty! Order me to lead men to the Endless Bone Domain!" the colossus roared into the depths of the cave, "Blood... it can only be repaid with more blood!"

The little ones on his back were screaming wildly.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"idiot!"

An elegant yet cold male voice rang out, mercilessly interrupting the massive battle cry.

Rod slowly straightened up, tidying his flawless collar as if his earlier lapse in composure had never occurred.

The immense rage instantly shifted, and the enormous single eye locked onto Rhodes.

"I'm telling you, you're an idiot, you don't use your brain at all."

"Even if you're not afraid of the Bones, what about Ainz Ooal Gown? Don't forget, Ainz Ooal Gown is there too."

"Even if I die, I will grind his bones to pieces!"

Enraged, the giant beast on his back hissed, "Tear him apart! Tear him apart!"

The temperature inside the lair seemed to rise a few degrees due to the standoff between the two lords.

"enormous, quiet."

Mona's hoarse voice cut between the two, carrying a strange, comforting power.

This gradually calmed the previously irritable behemoth down, causing it to stand obediently in place.

Mona turned towards the depths of the cave and respectfully prostrated herself.

"That's not what Your Majesty meant."

Ainz Ooal Gown isn't stupid.

Since he dared to do this, he must have his own motives.

Within the Queen's hunting grounds, nothing can escape the Queen's eyes, a fact that Ainz Ooal Gown certainly knows better than anyone else.

Therefore, everything he did was something he deliberately wanted to show to the Queen.

In Mona's mind, two images kept intertwining and overlapping.

In the first image, the giant bone reveals the power of death, severely injuring Xingmi and Tia.

In the second scene, Ainz Ooal Gown personally takes action, eliminating Hsin-Mi and Tia.

As the information came together, a clear picture emerged in Mona's mind.

He was willing to use the trump card, the Rock Bones, to protect that safe zone.

A near-S-rank who has wielded power is a tremendous threat that no king can ignore.

Ainz Ooal Gown's goal was to draw everyone's attention to Bonecrusher!

Therefore, neither is the Bones nor the Bone King.

The key point is... those ants protected by Ainz Ooal Gown!

A near-S-class entity poses too great a threat and must be eliminated!

However, there is an ant that Ainz Ooal Gown would risk exposing a near-S-rank trump card to protect.

The secrets within are far more important than a single bone!

Having figured all this out, Mona's heart, which had been twisted by jealousy, was instantly filled with a different, even more fervent desire.

She faced the deep cave entrance before her and spoke respectfully, with an almost pious demeanor.

"Your Majesty, let Mona go."

"Mona knows what to do."

From the depths of the cave came a long, deep rumble, as if acknowledging her analysis.

Mona's body trembled slightly with excitement.

She raised her head, a sickly flush appearing on her gaunt face.

"Since Ainz Ooal Gown cares so much about those ants, then I'll lend him a hand."

"I will lead those ants to the Endless Bone Domain."

"I don't know what Ainz Ooal Gown wants to do, so I'll just stir up this mess completely."

"In time, the truth will come to light."

As soon as she finished speaking, the fleshy ground in front of Mona churned up.

Countless spider silks, shimmering with a faint light, burst forth from the ground, quickly intertwining and entwining to form an exquisitely crafted platform half a meter high.

The platform slowly rose, lifting an object wrapped in spider silk and placing it in front of Mona.

It was a fruit, only half of it, with a smooth cut, shaped like an apple, but the flesh had a dreamlike nebula color, as if it contained a complete galaxy.

The crystallization of the power of procreation!

Only half is possible; if one could possess the whole, and with the Queen's personal blessing, a complete birth mark could be inscribed.

Although giving birth wasn't her ideal rule, the temptation to break through to S-rank was too great!

Mona's breath caught in her throat for a moment.

She reached out her withered hand, carefully picked up the half fruit, and spoke excitedly.

"Mona... will never let Her Majesty down!"

That overwhelming will that enveloped everything slowly receded like the tide.

The oppressive feeling inside the nest dissipated.

Pang Ran then got up from the ground. His huge single eye did not look at Rhodes, but stared intently at Mona and the fruit in her hand that exuded endless temptation.

A feeling of betrayal spread through his simple mind.

"Why did Mona steal all the credit from Pang Ran!"

Pang Ran questioned in a deep, muffled voice, his tone tinged with grievance.

"It would have been much simpler to just send me and wipe them out!"

The little ones on his back also started to fuss.

"Even simpler! Even simpler!"

Mona carefully put away the half fruit before turning around and speaking to Pang Ran in a tone that soothes large dogs.

"It's not your turn to make a move yet, my big guy."

"Moreover, this is Her Majesty the Queen's order."

Mona paused deliberately, her hoarse voice carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Do you intend to disobey Her Majesty the Queen?"

Upon hearing the words "Your Majesty," all of Pang Ran's dissatisfaction and anger vanished.

He pounded the ground in frustration, letting out a low growl of resentment, but eventually fell silent.

Mona ignored him and gently stroked the smooth surface of the fruit in her arms. A strange smile slowly spread across her withered face.
