"That is exactly the power of Ainz-sama."
Demiurge said elegantly.
There is no need to hide it.
The more than 40,000 souls that perished in this territory were none other than Ainz-sama’s work.
Under the magic of the Master of Death, he is just a low-level demon.
To die is to die.
"Your Excellency Marduk Kurios, I would like to speak in your capacity."
"You won't care about this."
Demiurge said slowly.
His tone was unhurried and slow, more like an elegant nobleman than a cruel demon.
"hehe."
Marduk Koulios laughed.
Honestly.
This guy is a narcissistic and very carefree guy.
In Hell has not received very good reviews.
but!
If he meets a guy that interests him, then... things are different.
"For the sake of you and my daughter, this amount of snacks really doesn't matter."
"Um."
Marduk Koulios thought slightly.
His eyes wandered over Demiurge and Satana.
“The more I watch, the more satisfied I become.”
"Satana, my daughter, aren't the major events in your life much more fun than the fun in the Eternal Arena?!"
…
The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick!
Regarding this name, Marduk Koulios did not find it in his memory.
He hadn't heard of it.
However, this is not an important thing.
In the vast dimension of hell, there are all kinds of weird things.
Even the Lord of Hell can't say he has seen them all.
certainly.
Within a short period of time in their own territory.
Um.
Marduk Kolios only had a subtle perception, a response from the demon soil.
Several demon tribes have disappeared.
soon!
And it's painless.
Under the bombardment of large-scale magic, it completely evaporated in an instant.
There was no need to use special magic at all, Marduk Koulios only had a slight perception.
The Satanic Demon King knows exactly what is happening in his territory.
"It's not easy."
Marduk Kurios said to Demiurge, and it was obvious that he was not angry at all.
In hell.
Killing is not a bad thing.
Moreover, those in power who have the ability to cause killings are more likely to receive respect.
This is considered etiquette among demons.
Last time.
He goes to Mephisto's territory and plays bigger!
certainly.
The last time Mephisto came to him, he almost took away his daughter's soul.
It doesn't matter!
This is how demons communicate with each other.
"Such a strong aura of death, I can see the Lord Ainz in your mouth."
"He's a remarkable person."
Marduk Koulios seldom praises others.
but……
Since Demiurge has such momentum.
Elegant, dark and evil!
A gentleman is like a noble, but also has a standard devil face!
And the master who can be recognized by this kind of existence, then... naturally can't be much different.
the most important is.
Marduk Koulios found new fun.
He thought that the prince of darkness in front of him was a good match for his daughter, a frog and a snake!
This is truly a good marriage!
so……
Well, wouldn’t the owner of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick be his in-laws from now on? !
Marduk Koulios's eyes lit up.
His eyes flickered between Demiurge and his daughter strangely.
to be honest.
This Satanic devil does everything based on his interest and is very unformed.
at this time.
Research has already begun on the issue of the evil next generation.
strangeness!
It was clear that Demiurge was here to discuss cooperation on behalf of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.
Exploratory communication.
This is also to pave the way for Lord Ainz’s appearance later!
but!
While things were going extremely smoothly, they also seemed to be going in a strange direction.
"Satana."
Marduk Kurios called for his daughter.
"I'm here, Father."
Satana's response.
In hell, no matter what time it was, she always listened to her father's words.
This has always been the case, and this time is no exception.
"Um."
"Since Lord Ainz likes the soul of our family very much."
"Then... Satana, go and prepare more. This is my greeting."
…
"Well, this is it."
Coming out of my father's courtyard, I stood on a high slope and looked towards the unchanging territory of hell.
The approximate direction Satana estimated.
"call."
As she exhaled gently, her hair turned as pale as snow.
Her iconic goat-like devil horns curved back from both sides of her forehead.
The magic begins to emerge!
A rich smoke began to emerge from her body, and at the same time, the soul of the daughter of Satan emerged from her body!
A more accurate statement is.
A strange snake from hell began to appear from Satana's soul.
Her own soul has merged with the strange snake. This is her true nature as a devil!
at this time.
Satana's magical powers manifest.
A gift for the owner of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, as requested by his father.
stop!
Satana's magic power is compressed.
The ominous power of Satan's daughter brings about a countdown to destruction.
same.
The hellish demons wandering in several nearby areas are facing their doom.
Boom!
A fierce magic storm spread from a corner of the courtyard to all directions!
soon
The killing led by Satana begins.
The collected souls will be gathered by the magic storm.
Form the most beautiful soul crystal and give it to Demiurge.
…
"A perfect masterpiece."
study.
Standing at the corner of the window, Demiurge looked at the "hard-working" girl and showed a perfect smile.
"Look, my daughter is pretty good."
Marduk Kurios said proudly.
This is the evil princess in hell that he has nurtured and taught since childhood.
It was the result of his careful planning.
"Nature is good."
Demiurge's wisdom allowed him to understand what the Satanic Demon King in front of him was planning.
but……
Demiurge didn't care about these minor issues.
if.
Can make Lord Ainz's plan complete.
So……
It would be okay to marry a princess with a basilisk soul.
certainly.
This requires Ainz-sama’s consent.
"I will make up for the rest, a total of 100,000 souls, how about it?!"
"I'm sincere enough."
Marduk Koulios pulled down several ancient books from the bookcase nearby.
He flipped it over twice casually and threw it aside nonchalantly.
Although the magic books in his room must be robbed by many people if they are placed outside.
But for himself.
Um.
Watching these boring things is not as interesting as going out and spreading your name as Satan.
Oh, right.
When it comes to the name of Satan, he does have other things going on now.
"I have given the gift."
"Demiurge, the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick should also show corresponding sincerity."
It is clear.
Marduk Kurios is about to start making conditions.
"no problem."
"No matter what your request is, I will truthfully convey it to the Supreme Being."
Demiurge came here to negotiate terms with Marduk Curios.
cooperate.
And exchanging chips is the first step.
certainly.
Satana is an exception.
"Ah, that's right."
"Mephisto, the widely known scarlet devil king in hell, have you heard of his name?"
Marduk Kurios said.
Although I feel very unwilling, Mephisto's reputation is indeed bigger than mine.
In hell.
The devil king who is now recognized by the demons is also this annoying guy.
even.
Eternal Arena, Capital of Hell, etc.
Mephisto is now the most famous and has the widest territory, and people have heard of it before.
Mephisto also caused a wave of big events in the real dimension.
Both are lords of hell!
It really makes people envious and jealous, but also feels that Mephisto is so annoying.
"I heard it."
"Lord Ainz mentioned it to me."
In Demiurge's exchanges, three words never left his lips: the Supreme Being.
And to be so admired by Demiurge.
This made Marduk Kurios even more curious about Ainz.
"good."
"In that case, I don't need to say more, Mephisto has recently created a new game."
"In the city of never-ending chips, all the advertisements are sent to me."
Demiurge memorized the name of "Hell City". This was important information.
And about Mephisto.
Through the mouth of Marduk Koulios, the weight of the devil king was even more increased.
"So the capital of hell must be your goal."
Demiurge asked.
"No!"
"I have no interest in that bastard Asmodeus at all, but..."
A new name has emerged.
"Asmodeus", Mephisto's loyal subordinate and now the controller of the capital of hell.
Demiurge wrote down the name, and then listened to Marduk Kurios continue.
"I don't know if they did it on purpose or accidentally."
"but!"
"A guy also named Satan appeared, right in the area of Hell City."
Speaking of which.
Marduk Koulios's expression changed greatly.
It was an extreme distortion and anger, and Demiurge could clearly feel it.
at the same time.
There is also a kind of burning heat.
Demiurge raised his head slightly, and in his gem-like eyes, a scene of the lake was reflected.
Behind the middle-aged man in front of me.
Marduk Kurios, named after the Satanic Demon King, vaguely revealed his true face.
A three-headed monster with weird horns and red bits that looked like plush and spikes.
】
Yes.
There are three heads, and all of them spit out slender green thread-like tongues!
If we say that the demon forms of Demiurge and Satana are both in beautified structures, they are still lookable.
Even if it is looked at violently, the human soul can still accept it amidst the evil and fear.
But.
The appearance of Marduk Kurios seemed too inhuman.
Looks like a dragon but not a dragon, looks like a horse but not a horse, looks like a monkey but not a monkey.
The long and narrow nose with sparks, and the organs that grow upward, like small joints or small tentacles.
It can be said to be twisted.
fine……
For Demiurge, the pressure displayed by Marduk Kurios was acceptable.
after all……
Is the Supreme Being still a skeleton of pure death? !
fine.
After all, they are the evil non-human camp, so they are used to being disgusted.
at this time.
Compared to the appearance of Marduk Koulios in anger.
Demiurge was even more thinking about the other Satan that Marduk Kurios said.
It is clear.
What the other party means is that if he wants to cooperate, then help him get rid of the other person.
"Satan?!"
"Another demon king in hell?!"
Demiurge asked.
If you are fighting another demon king, you will also be at the level of a hell lord.
So……
If you agree rashly, would it not be in line with Ainz-sama’s original plan? !
Demiurge was wary of this.
"Hahaha, Demon King?!"
Marduk Koulios suddenly laughed exaggeratedly.
He seemed to have heard some funny joke.
"No!"
"This is what makes me angry. The other person is not a hell lord, he is just a human being."
"A soul as weak as a bug dares to be named Satan."
"Damn it!"
…
Marduk Koulios told the exact opposite.
Um.
A human being.
A pathetic person who offended the devil and wanted to kill him because he named him Satan? !
do you mean this? !
If that's all, then...
"I will tell Ainz-sama the truth."
Demiurge made a decision in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. He just agreed as gently as ever.
at the same time.
In the private chat channel.
[Demiurge: Lord Ainz, the mission you assigned me has been initially completed. 】
[Demiurge: Marduk Kurios invited you to meet and expressed his intention to cooperate with us. 】
Demiurge was the first to bring the good news.
[Demiurge: His daughter, the daughter of Satan, has prepared more than 50,000 souls for you. Including those you hunted personally, you have to make up the number of 100,000. 】
Gift? !
Ainz looked at the private chat channel and estimated what would happen if all these souls were replaced with [Ruby].
This is indeed expensive and saves him some effort in "spawning monsters".
but.
How can there be a free lunch? This Marduk Kurios must have conditions.
really.
No need to wait for Ainz to ask, Demiurge took the initiative to explain clearly.
[Demiurge: The condition proposed now is to kill a human who pretends to be "Satan's name". 】
[Demiurge: For the Supreme Being, this is naturally extremely easy. 】
Um.
A human being.
If you are just an ordinary person, then it is really no problem for you.
Ainz thought about it, and felt that this was indeed the case, and that this was a part worth trying.
but……
I'm also a little confused. If he was just an ordinary person, would he dare to use the name of Satan? !
stupid? !
How stupid can you be to do this in hell? !
Could it be.
Is there any trap here? !
But.
Looking at the private chat channel, Demiurge admired him immensely.
as well as……
Regarding Marduk Curios, he killed so many demons in the opponent's territory.
and.
While they didn't care, they also generously gave gifts in return.
Now.
If you don't agree to such a small request before cooperation.
"Um."
"Isn't there something bad?!"
For a while.
Ainz was caught in a dilemma about his choice.
"Tsk!"
"What should I do? I'm so troubled!"
