So, Gazeff. I get what he was trying to do with that 'duel', sacrificing his life to give Brain and Climb some manner of insight into Ainz' abilities and all (hardly his fault for not considering the existence of timestop), but does this strike anyone else as not just ultimately pointless, but a also rather asshole-ish thing to do? I mean, he was offered a chance to instantly stop the massacre for a relatively small price, i.e. his pride. Sure, having your pride is important, no doubt, but there were probably still several ten thousand people alive by then...
Also,Lockmeyerwas too good for this world. Despite being such a minor character, I really liked the guy. He seemed on the level.
>>133578891
I think Gazef's loyalty to the king was shown as more of a character flaw here than a beneficial trait.
Which group should I go with here?

I'm expecting Ainz's most powerful summon to be Cthulhu or something.
>>133582834
He has Overlord Wiseman and Reaper Thanatos already, so yeah it has to be something of that level. I mean Thanatos is a God of Death, you'd need to have someone with an equally badass namesake. Maybe Hel / Izanami / Old King Enma or something.
>>133583233
>Old King Enma
How the fuck do you even fight that guy? He has a book that tells him exactly when everyone dies, all he has to do is change the date in his Death Note.

In other words those shitposters were regulars who were monitoring these threads and decided to shout GENERAL DELETE NAU for kicks.
>>133583462
The OP image. Look for 山小人（ドワーフ）の王. It means King of Dwarves (or literally King of the Small Mountain People).
>>133583509
Gee, I wonder why?
>>133583647
Thank you. I guess this Beastman war is for later, then?
>>133583647
>Small Mountain People.
Isn't that pretty much what the Chinese used to refer to Japanese as?
>>133583759
If we take the three volume pattern.
He might subjugate Dwarves in one volume and the next two volumes would be another storyline (like v4-6). Loli Dragon Queen isn't completely out of the running yet, it just won't be next volume (unless the interlude is)
>>133583793
I live in beijing and I've never heard this one. The most common slur is （小）日本鬼子 which more or less means 'Little Japanese Devils'.
>>133583835
I've heard that back in the middle ages, the Chinese word for Japanese people meant Dwarf, and they eventually changed it because the Japs were all butthurt about it.
>>133583759
Well they could be going on simultaneously, ie Ainz & few others go to Azellirisia Mountains and "certain others" go to Dragonic Kingdom.
Though I don't think that Nazarick/Enri CAN avoid getting mixed up with the Dragonic Kingdom/Beastmen War.
Unless we first see lolimilf & goons struggling alone and then have to request aid from Nazarick when ST ignore them altogether.
Or we go with the 3-vol-climax route like >>133583835 says and see the final chapter on the war in 12nd volume and everything until that is buildup.
I want Climb to be the hero everyone doesnt want, but the one everyone needs.

How do you call a government Evil if it gets good things done and gets them done well? Nobody would call Climb a hero, they'd call him the assassin that plunged the world into chaos and robbed them of the wisest and most beneficial-to-subjects king they've ever fucking seen.
>>133584029
Oh you're right, I forgot about that.
How many female dwarves will be joining the harem?

Momon -> Level 30 Fighter
Momonga -> Level 30 Wizard Lich (Necromancer)
Ainz -> Level 30 Wizard Demigod
Satoru Suzuki -> Level 1 Commoner
Why is he there?
>>133585067
>Level 1 Commoner
You mean Level 1 Deity. He'd be FRESH.

Don't say such misleading things so casually!

Gazef was ultimately more loyal to the King and Kingdom than it's people actually. You can talk about what a douche he is for prioritizing a ruler of a nation over the nation's people, but from the perspective of aiming to benefit the monarch the most without knowing Ainz is just trying to unify everyone like Qin Shi Huang it was a reasonable move to make.
It's just that, as reasonable as that move is, he fails to realize that his own King advocates the happiness of his people more than his own well being in the first place, so ironically his own priorities and the King's do not line up properly.
This is also a parallel with Nazarick, where the NPCs for the sake of Ainz prioritize Ainz over what Ainz himself wants. The King and both Ainz are 'forced' to roll with what their retainers want lacking the brainpower to reign in their talented subordinates.
>Ainz mastered the talent of timing skills so they take effect right when Time Stop wears off for a dramatic effect.

>No timer/dbm shit because the game doesn't allow you to mod

Nah doesn't sound all that far fetched to me. WoW at it's peak with arena during TBC/Wrath was the same, actually worse given how bad the lower end gladiators were and how many were just people hopping on accounts selling titles that made up the less than 1%. Meaning even in a real life analogy, there were keyboard turners in the upper 1~% relying purely on addons/macros to do their jobs while the 99% also did the same even for PVE and still failed hard most of the time.
You underestimate just how bad most people are at vidya. Just hop over to /v/ once in awhile and you'll realize this.
If anything Maruyama is pretty lenient. 5 whole percent?
Anyone have this problem when you use an epub reader the illustrations are tiny as fuck with no zoom options?
>>133586991
>12 million players would gladly play that p2w shitfest
>Game even has an item that can delete another player's character from the world
I could only imagine what other terrible DMMO's were out during that time period if Ygg was the most popular.
>“These are my troops.” Before the silent audience, Ainz introduced his forces.
How can one skeleton be so based?
>>133586991
>5 whole percent
He is Japanese. Everybody knows Japanese are better at vidya than waito piggu
>>133586585
Well put.
That isn't to say that Gazef didn't care for the people, it's just that he prioritizes preserving the king's priority. He was being forward thinking; the battle was already lost, so he could either save the lives of the people being killed by submitting to Ainz or try to keep the king's rule as stable as he can by dying as a hero to the kingdom and galvanizing the people.
This was actually rather pragmatic of Gazef and it's sad that some people can only turn their noses up at him and say he only acted on foolish pride. He was willing to sacrifice lives for the future stability of the kingdom rather than to allow it to break down from unrest and further in-fighting between the factions.
>>133587311
Nips suck at MMOs though. They can't even get world firsts in their own games.
>>133586991
The heck. How could it be that hard to time your moves? It's hard going to learn it, but it's all about tuning up your internal clock. It should be even easier if you don't have to factor in cast time.
>>133587174
It's a pretty 'realistic' premonition for the future considering how the current trend of MMOs are right now don't you think?
>>133587311
No, first of all Yggdrasil was mostly a Japanese game. There hasn't even been one mention of international players so far.
Second, Japanese players are unconditionally worse at PvP than other heavy gamer cultures like waito piggu or gooks or chinks, etc with the sole exception of fighter games where they are not completely shit stomped. Oh and maybe racing games but I'm pretty sure the nips only play Initial D arcade and that's a shitty game.
FPS, TPS, RTS, MOBA, you name anything that has been propped up for competition and Japanese has never won it. They were casuals a decade ahead of the rest of the world and the early success of the PSP and humongous success of the DS was proof of that.
>>133587304
>Ainz slowly spread his arms. He looked like he was embracing a friend — or was it a demon spreading its wings? In the eyes of all who were watching, he seemed to double, triple in size, perhaps more.
>In the silence — interrupted only by the anguished screams of the Kingdom’s soldiers in the distance — Ainz’s still, small voice rang out with exceptional clarity.
>“— A cheer, then.”
>“A cheer in celebration of my supreme power.”
I wonder how long he spent practicing that one in the mirror
>>133578891
As far as Gazef knows, Ainz aims to enslave humans under Undead rule. Giving the people even a small edge to resist this murderous tyrant in the future is far from not thinking about them.
>>133587398
Tuning your internal clock requires putting effort and playing with the aim of getting better. Have you not played MMOs before and interacted with pubs? This is not something most MMO players do. They play to have fun casually.
Why do you think new MMOs and even current WoW supports PVE having timers FOR YOU?
It's like the difference between someone working out with a diet plan and proper workout routine making steady gains versus someone who goes to the gym whenever he wants and does whatever he feels like so he can feel good about himself after sweating some.
How is that so hard to relate?
>>133587322
>>133587543
Yeah like I said, it's without a shadow of a doubt Gazef is a dumbass, but he has always been one, even admits he is one, and still managed to make the best decisions possible with what his meager mind was capable of.
It'd be like hating on Climb for not getting a clue on Renner's true self. You can't do that, he was never capable of it to begin with.
Only Renner who has contact with Demiurge and clear superior intellect would have made the right choices, but chances are she gave no fucks and just allowed everyone to get their ass handed to them since no matter who comes out on top after this within the Kingdom, royals or nobles, she would easily be able to break the chains holding her down now that everyone's weakened.
>>133586991
>>133587398
>>133587462
>>133587558
You've got to remember a few things first:
First, a Time Stop Spell is one of those things that everyone wishing to either PK or PVP will protect against. Even if you can't get damaged during the time stop, most players would use it to either escape or get to a better position, so everyone with half a brain will know that it has to be countered in some way.
And second, a delayed spell is only considered "good" if it hits immediately after the time stop ends. Because of lag/delay and maybe other distractions it might have been a bit difficult to perform in-game, and it might have required near perfect ping or else you might fuck it up.
So, if you want to do this "sick ass" combo, you gotta face various challenges, namely, you're trying to first use a spell that might not actually work, JUST so you can use another spell that is kinda difficult to pull off.
It's just too much of a hassle. Instead of going Time Stop > Delayed Super Nova you could just go Super Nova instead and get the same results.
>>133587956
Why are you quoting me when I pointed out most of what you said? I'm rather confused.
>>133587304
I wonder how many hours Ainz spent on practising that line.
>Enri opened the wooden door and entered, followed closely by Nfirea. Holding herself upright as though she were still opening the door, Enri sat herself down onto a pile of hay, sinking her rear into the dried grass with a soft plop.
>not a pomf =3
Nigel, you dropped the ball.
>>133588416
That whole scene of Enfi trying to get a kissu was hilarious.
>>133588416
Indeed, I did.
>>133579832
Shit, this is badass and just terrifying enough that it makes me shiver a little (considering that this guy is probably just as evil/Machiavellian as Demiurge). This guy being evil and cruel would scare me a lot more from appearances than Demiurge.
>>133583302
If we're going by original Eastern mythology, the go-to would just be to pay him a shitload of money in the form of offertory paper grave "gold" burnables.
Really, pre-Buddhist ancient far East cosmology really astounds me with its incredibly developed concept of a celestial bureaucracy...and subsequent corruption.
>>133587502
I don't think he practiced this part. It seemed to be a spur of the moment thing, he didn't know his spell would end up so effective. He knew it would be devastating, but he didn't know how many of the Dark Young would show up.
>>133589509
It seemed somewhat resigned to me in hindsight. I mean, it's acknowledging that he's Grand Emperor Boner I-and-Only of the New World because he believes there really are no PCs waiting to gank him while he's not looking.
Really, I want to see volume 10 and see if he fully believes he's the lone PC currently in the New World, or if he's still holding out hope at all that they were scattered elsewhere.

General Enri has soldiers capable of offing the strongest of human champions.
>>133589955
I want to know how she'll agonize and scramble to maintain that army.
Ainz would probably create a conflict for her to reduce their numbers. Something like dwarven soldiers and goblin troops meeting in a skirmish in the foot of Azerlisia mountain.
>>133590179
It's quite simple, actually.
The Goblins will move into the great forest since the beings who previously controlled it are now absent. Mare fertilizes the fields and crops to show gratitude for Enfi's loyalty.
>>133589955
She could probably power-level just due to their sparring
>>133590179
She could have her troops be a QRF for E-Rantel and its surroundings. Ainz could supply undead farmers too.
>>133590548
Undead farmers would spook the people too much that they won't eat the produce. Golems would probably be a better alternative.
>>133590548
What would the Carne villagers even do anymore?
Don't need to fight, Goblin army
Don't need to know first aid, Goblin medics
Don't need to build, Golem construction crew
Don't need to farm, skeleton farmers
Don't need to sing, Goblin musicians
Don't need to lift heavy things, Ogres
All they need to do is eat and revere Ainz
>>133590666
>All they need to do is eat and revere Ainz
That's the perfect life.
Worshiping Ainz-sama and being fed! They are extremely fortunate to receive such luxuries such as meals.
>>133589858
I was cringing throughout the entire scene.
>>133590617
He has tons of audience golems, maybe he could put them to work.
Also I was imagining what would happen to the Imperial troops after the battle...
"Well, another guy in my contubernium went crazy again. Heard a goat going 'Mehhhh' and he immediately collapsed into a fetal position while crying and shouting "I'm sorry!" and "All hail the Sorcerer King!"
"Same here. In fact, everyone who came back from the Katze Plains freaks out when they hear that sound. They have some kind of group now, bunch of guys with hollow eyes and thousand yard stares. They won't tell.me anything either. They just look sadly at me and say, "You don't know, man, you weren't there."
"So what the hell did they see out there, anyway?"
>>133590666
You said it, Satan. All they need to do is revere the Supreme Overlord of Death.
>>133590966
>All they need to do is revere the Supreme Overlord of Death.
Makes sense to me
"Hey, Supreme Overlord of Death, we're about to die. Can we, ya know, not die?"
"Sure thing little buddy, just blow this artifact level magic item that I don't need what with being a god"
"Sweet. Also Nemu needs a babysitter this weekend"
"Nemu's coming over? Shit, I gotta break out the cool stuff, Demiurge, what do kids like?"
>>133587678
When did Demiurge meet Renner again?
Also, who were the three Demiurge wanted kept alive? The Marquis and Climb are obvious ones, is the third the King? I couldn't imagine why it would be Brain.
>>133591112
>Demiurge, what do kids like?
I would be legitimately interested to know how Maruyama would make Demiurge answer this with.
Would he be plain honest about not knowing since he never had his own childhood?
Would he do horrible and cruel experiments to any remaining human children he has in the farm to see what they "like?"
>"Ainz-sama, human children, rather interestingly, do not like playing with the rotting corpses of their familial pets, but will, after prodding, play with the remains of their previously sacrificed parents as if they were still alive."
Or would he go ask Mare/Aura?
>>133590966
>"I'm sorry!" and "All hail the Sorcerer King!"
more like [CLAPPING INTENSIFIES]
>>133591112
>Demiurge, what do kids like?
For Nemu, he'll prepare boy's clothing as gift (in accordance with Demiurge's confusion with Aura and Mare's choice of clothing). Enri will probably think that its to allow Nemu to have an active lifestyle.

Considering they're farmers and manual labor is a constant thing for them, it'd probably be quite a good gift. Heck, for a young girl her age, a good pair of work gloves would be excellent for her hands and possibly ease stress on her wrists if they were nice enough.

Technically they would still need to farm because skeleton farmers has not been implimented yet and even if they were, their usefulness would be limited to acting much like unthinking machines, which means some farmers are still required.
>>133591434
>Erikaaa~
>>133591112
Obvioulsy kids like animals so how about letting her ride one of those cute goats.
>>133591478
The idea is that the skeleton workers would help the farmers out, like how the goblins helped with the sowing of seeds and the harvest.
Will we ever get the citizens of Carne village knowing that Ainz is in fact a lich who casually kills hundreds of thousands of people in minutes as easily and with as much personal significance as we'd have a daily jog?
I really want to know if they'll accept him even if he's Papa Bones. Considering they work with goblins and stinking ogres, it may not be too much a leap for them to accept him as their master since he really is quite so kind to them.
I mean, it'd probably make funeral arrangements really, really awkward if he asks outright if he can have corpses (otherwise stealing them in the dead of night from their graveyards), but maybe he can convince them of pseudo-Buddhist ideas on the spiritual significance of the dead (i.e. there isn't one since the soul is left and the body is just meat and bone waiting to rot)?
I mean, when an immortal magic talking skeleton wizard god talks to you about death, you'd probably think he's right even if he tries lying to you.
>>133591571
I think Carne's mostly given up on humanity. Humans always try to murder them, monsters help them
>>133591571
>I mean, when an immortal magic talking skeleton wizard god talks to you about death, you'd probably think he's right even if he tries lying to you.
The lizardfolk already have a weird fledgling cargo/death cult revolving around Ainz, so it's not so far to think that Ainz could pull an entire goddamn cosmology out of his ass about how corpses given to him to reanimate are going to have a better afterlife or something. He's the closest thing any of the NW as far has seen of someone who is a legitimate god/being.
>>133591746
>The lizardfolk already have a weird fledgling cargo/death cult revolving around Ainz
this has to be complicated very much by Cocytus
If the lizards ask about Ainz and he just flat out tells them the truth they will probably think he's a real god that can hear and answer their prayers because Cocytus probably also thinks he can and answered thusly.
I really want to know how Ainz is going to get fucked in the ass and how.
The whole chest beating of AOG being an unconquerable tomb makes me think it will be conquered eventually in someway.
>>133591571
They already worship him, they won't care if their god is a Mr. Skeletal.

The gods of the Theocracy don't count?
>>133591808
Even Maruyama may not even know yet. All we get are snippets implying that in the end, Ainz did very well overall in bringing order/unification (from the end events of v9 about E-Rantel, and the end of one of the drama CDs) to human lands (whether or not they acknowledge it as Ainz or Momon).

They do count, but they're so far back in their history that they might as well have been fairy tales. Part of the reason everyone is so afraid of Ainz isn't necessarily that he's so powerful or that what he can do is "impossible," but it reaches so far above what anyone can do in a lifetime of the hardest effort that no one could ever do it and thus far the real capabilities of a 3.5 fully-spec'd magic caster are just legends that aren't "real"...until they see it.
>>133591808
I honestly feel like Maruyama's playing with regular shonen tropes to trick us. like how Ainz said Gazef held the one sword that could damage him? he was upped before he even got the chance.
>>133591746
In D&D if you have enough worshipers you literally become god. Lizardmen+Carne+E-Rantel and surrounding village should be enough to propel him to godhood if his religion gains enough traction and create his own godly realm.
Worshipers that pass away expect to go to some form of afterlife, how they get there is up to Ainzen-sama.
In the Manual of the Planes and the Planescape setting. After death, the souls of the dead travel to the plane of their deity and become petitioners. The souls of those who die believing in no deity vanish from existence, although it is rumored that a dark power is secretly harvesting these souls for some awful purpose.
>>133592099
Maruyama is particularly really great at using tropes effectively and in great/novel combinations.
Case in point: Albedo
>succubus
>yandere
>virgin
Ainz:
>undead lich
>normal joe in incredible circumstances
>the hero we deserve
>most adorable character in the series
He somehow knows a magic formula for great characters.
>>133592099
Trick us into what?
>>133592120
>In D&D if you have enough worshipers you literally become god.
Does it explain how prayers and godrealms work?
Because it's going to be astoundingly awkward if Ainz reaches godhood not only by ACCIDENT, but also that he has hundreds and growing of undead worshippers in his head paying him reverence and asking for divine favor in a heaven that he didn't actually create (and may no even know how to get there himself).
>>133592050
>Undying loyalty.
That is why. Their loyalty may be undying, but it's blinding at the same time.
>>133592120
Would Ainz send them to Yggdrasil?
Would their afterlife be an eternal MMO?
>>133591571
>everyone deciding to defend the village from the knights
>knights from the Kingdom attacked and killed some of them
They'll worship him even more.

You can't. Blame Yenpress.
>>133592225
Gods gain worship credit from worship it's basically god money. Heck I wouldn't be surprise this is the NW equivalent to IRL cash that he can use to buy more cash items ;)
As for accessing it? It's probably going to be just as instinctive like how he does with all 700+ spells.
>>133592410
It must be so weak that you didn't even attempt to use it then.

>>133592487

Give me an example of how that loyalty can fuck Ainz. Even though he's loyal, demiurge still wouldn't risk Ainz 1v1ing Shalltear despite it being the great Ainz sama.

MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH PRINCESS!
>>133592741
If this was any other series, then Climb would absolutely get Gazef's sword, fulfil the 27 specific requirements to unlock it's true power,one of which is being keked by Demi.He would then use MUH SWURD to beat AOG and claim MUH PRINCESS.
>In other words, the Empire had to win here. In addition, they had to achieve a victory so complete and absolute, that the Kingdom would not risk trying to take back E-Rantel.
>Suddenly, Gazef had the feeling that he had all the pieces of the puzzle. However, putting them together was beyond him.
What does this mean?
>>133593293
It means Gazef hadthe intelligence level of retard meido
Can Gazef's sword truly kill Ainz?
We all know it's an item from Yggdrasil, but was Ainz telling the truth?
>>133593293
That Gazef knew that the Empire had a reason to believe they could achieve an absolute victory with just 60,000 men. Which was Ainz.
>>133593353
It can probably damage him, but would require multiple hits to actually kill him. In addition to this, the user himself would probably require a certain degree of strength.
>>133593293
Are you Gazef?
>>133593510
I'm Barbro.
>>133587174
Yggdrassil was a broke game.
>>133593353
It can kill Ainz. Eventually. The same way that smoking cigarettes reduces your life expectancy.
>>133593533
How was it?
I would assume the Empire's archives or spies must have information about the ST, BS, and the 6 "Gods" right?
I'd be very surprised if Ainz doesn't consider the ST a possible suspect of being the one's who did the MC in the next volume. As someone who's been very cautious and paranoid, you would think he would've done alot more research about the other kingdoms first before jumping straight into War with one and making him a global target.
>>133593533
Explains it.
I wonder what horrors the Kingdom would realize themselves in when they piece together the fact that the King, Raeven, and Climb were spared.
If someone could piece together that the three are closely connected to Renner, and if Renner confesses to the fact that she made a deal with Jaldabaoth, and thus Jaldabaoth is a servant of Ainz Ooal gown, they will probably rest all their hopes on Momon, who "defeated" Jaldabaoth for their future.
Sasuga, Ainz-sama! Even the world's smartest human is the same as the world's smartest termite to your wisdom!
>>133593623

>>133593799
Sasuga, Ainz-sama! Even if the plan is discovered it will only further your others!
>>133591808
Ainz is Oda Nobunaga, uniting everybody under his rule
He has his cunning advisor and his loyal warriors
Oda Nobunaga would have succeeded but he was assassinated. The question is, will Ainz do what he couldn't, or will he meet the same fate?
>>133594400
>Honnouji.
But who will be Akechi?
>>133593293
That it was Ainz's masterplan all along and Momon would be the fulcrum of this grand feat of seeing the future!
>>133593609
Would be amusing for Brain to challenge Ainz with the sword later on after proper training and planning; and then we just get Ainz in Calcium Enriched mode that pushes the blade's arcs away. While going "What good does this amount to? Yanno, you should at least be able to connect with your hits to damage me." and then he just grabs the tip of the sword with fingers, just like Shalltear/Sebas did for their opponents.
Still waiting on another player to show up and beat Ainz down.
>>133594552
"Fortunately I cast Protection From Magic Weapons today."
I think Maruyama has a weakness for father figures. Ainz being concerned with Aura and Mare's well being, and Raeven desperately trying to survive for his son - both the pictures of a loving father. I certainly hope he doesn't pull a Maes Hughes on us.
>tfw Sasuga Saturdays no more

>>133595006
The feeling is not unlike a puppet, who's strings have been cut.
>>133594400
Ainz kills himself. That's only scenario i could see him dying
>>133595257
Can't even kill himself dou to autoresurection.
After the first attempt he would be locked by the guardians ensuring he can't harm itself anymore.
It will end up with Ainz vs Momon
whatever suits his goals more
Nabe is an interesting position since she might actually have to "pick a side"

>>133591808Spinel.
I wonder if enough belief in Ainz as a God can allow him to transcend?
>>133596276
People are more towards thinking he is a Demon/Devil/super Undeath.
Can't become a god when others think you are not one.
>>133593876
Define GENTLY.
>>133596276
Didn't actually made some research on that priest to find out if his gods exist?
Because if the six one transcended it would mean Ainz is able too.

>>133578891
I got the impression it was to show Brian and others a possible weakness of Ainz. When it comes time to try to take him down, they not only got him to admit that a weapon exists that can hurt him, but it forces them to also find a measure to time stop. If he hadn't taken that duel, any attempt to save humanity (in their minds, that's what they need to do) would fail the moment they challenged him without that countermeasure.
He died to give valuable information to humanity.
>>133597273
>thinking he would be stupid enough to wear it infront of Ainz
>>133591571
Funnily enough, peasants usually don't give half a damn about who actually rules them and nationalism doesn't seem to be a thing yet. I mean, okay, skellington is spooky, but the skellington at least didn't kill us, saved us from knights and Slane, and even gave us a super combat maid to protect us and gave golems and shit.
Nobles are technically human but when they burn your houses down, rob you blind 'legally' and just sort of waltz in and take your three daughters and christmas cake imouto you stop giving a shit about them and probably consider them worse monsters than something like DK - it's SCARY, sure, but it doesn't hurt you. It's like the difference between a huge bouncer with a mean look who works for your friend and is great at Mario Kart and some skinny dude who keeps putting legos in your chair and kicking your shins while the teacher isn't looking.
>>133597291
So what if they get time-stop countermeasures? Against a worthy opponent, Ainz doesn't use it. He didn't use it even once against Shalltear. He'll probably go full Desperation Aura V on their asses and pick them cautiously apart.
>>133591950
It's not that they're not gods but that they're legends. I mean, the legends say that there's this dude who shot down the sun nine times. Can you actually imagine what that'd look like? Or say someone like Achilles - yeah we know he was scary in a fight but HOW scary is he? It doesn't really sink in until you see the dude take apart an army with nigh a scratch. Plus, since they're 600 years ago and your grandparent's grandparent's never saw them, who's to say that they actually existed as gods? Just the scriptures, written by their followers...which is an obviously biased source.
>>133596978
Easier for Renner to marry him. Question is, will he accept?
>>133597235
That would invalidate the entire point of Momon but since Ainz doesn't into keikaku I could see it happening.
>>133597242
They probably are lvl30 cash shop minions. And yes. If you didn't realize it by now, the entire base was a work of artists in their off time.
>>133597243
I could see that happening with Enfi wearing the dress but not the eight floor. Most likely when Albedo is out with the gank squad and they get seperated and Enfi ambushes it/her from behind.
>>133597317
He's still a fucking monster. They just assumed he was an evil mage before. Though I doubt Cairne will waver in loyalty especially since they will be blamed for the death of the Crown Prince they will need to ally with the Sorcerer King to survive.
I can't see Enri getting a big head and thinking she could take on Ainz with her army, but she might at least think about it.
>>133597413
Brain will convince him after he goes full beta muh princess. He does love her, but thinks its forbidden.
>>133597317
Nobles and bandits both rob the people, the bandits just don't pretend to rule them in the process. Practically speaking, the nobles have done nothing good for the people while Ainz and Momon have done nothing but good for the people.
Even if Ainz turns out to be the supreme overlord of death they'll still follow him, it's a better deal than the shitty nobles and princes who keep shitting all over them.
>>133578891
Gazef thought he had a minuscule chance against Ainz, and that he would never had it again. Thus he tried to seize it.
In fact, he had none and had underestimated Ainz (as Raeven, because he probably couldn't imagine his level of power). He thought Ainz was overconfident, when the latter wasn't.
Climb and Brain tried to cheer themselves as they could, giving some justification that they would accept to Gazef's gambit.
>>133593293
It means that Gazef suddenly realized the Empire's plan is to do just that, and knows that the Empire has Superman on their side, but can't put two and two together and realize that AINZ is the reason why they'll "win a victory so complete and absolute, the Kingdom would not risk trying to take back E-Rantel."
>>133593353
It probably does something like "greatly reduces effective defense and ignores immunities" or something, which would explain why it cuts armor like butter - armor has high DEF but shit HP.
>>133596434
The people he's saved / reign over seem to think otherwise.
>>133597468
>He's still a fucking monster
Let me put it to you another way - if we replaced the Duke of Shitland, who abused his powers and raped peasants and burned villages and shit all day, with a giant boar that ruled benevolently and gave the peasants peace and security, you bet your ass they're going to respect him and praise his rule. The only difference is actually that the peasants are liable to worship you as a benevolent local deity if you're nonhuman / monster, because it's easier to call a nonhuman a God than a fellow human a God.
tl;dr nobody actually cares he's a skellington, they're not being randomly attacked and their life is better than they've ever dreamed possible.
>>133597291
They don't even know that he HAS time stop. As far as they can tell, Ainz probably used something akin to Eye of Death or some shit that kills with a glance.
His 'timestop is important' was said after he cast Silent Time Stop - nobody (ok, Mare maybe) heard it.
>>133578891
To Gazef, he knew that if he accepted Ainz's offer, everyone would turn on Ranpossa and he would be completely discredited. Gazef can't bear that.
Challenging him to a duel also had the effect of keeping Ainz from commanding the Dark Young to fuck everything up while the duel was in progress, which would give the King that much more time to escape.
Finally, he knew that if he died, Ranpossa would at least be able to win some sympathy by showing that his most loyal champion died trying to fight the Sorcerer King.
And of course, he was hoping that his super martial art would let him beat Ainz (he didn't even get the chance to use it).
>>133597480
That's my point, the normal folk more or less just want food to eat and peace and stability. They don't give a damn about ideals and 'muh humans > spooky skellingtons'. Their social norms seem to be around early renaissance at best - in that case, Nobles and Commoners aren't even the same breed of people - they certainly don't act like the same breed of people.
>>133597615
>Challenging him to a duel also had the effect of keeping Ainz from commanding the Dark Young to fuck everything up while the duel was in progress, which would give the King that much more time to escape.
This - Gazef values King above Country, but the way to guarentee the King lives is also the way that will probably rob the King of his crown. Therefore he's blabbering on and on about muh duel so he can delay the Sorcerer King. Plus I'd expect him to think that 'a mage this strong should be passably weak in close-quarters where he'd not be able to use big spells because he'd hit himself, so if I can get close I have a tiny chance of overwhelming him if I play all my cards right'. Timestop was out of his imagination. Does NW even know a spell like that is possible? What tier is Time Stop?
>>133597587
not that it matters at all since he could have just used grasp heart, punched him, gave him a hug, launched him into the sky from a bone wall, showed him his Dark Hole, or just let him attack him until Gazef died of exhaustion despite his magic item that gave him endless stamina.
>>133597615
I think everything but
>And of course, he was hoping that his super martial art would let him beat Ainz (he didn't even get the chance to use it).
was the most convincing argument for Zeefs death I've heard. Even explains why he wouldn't let himself get revived, since that would tarnish the king's name even more by reminding everyone that even though zeef is still around he's worth nothing.
That martial art bullshit was just Brains headcanon. Zeef was already using six MA's at once in vol 1.
>>133597669
>What tier is Time Stop?
In D&D it is a 9th tier transmutation spell.
>>133597669
Time Stop is 9th tier IIRC. Even ST can't cast higher than 7th tier with huge rituals and/or the Crown of Wisdom.
Ainz is an outside context problem for the NW, simply put.
>>133597700
Ainz used True Death because he respected Gazef enough to give him a merciful death; remember the definition of mercy in Nazarick.
Now, what I'd like to know is what Ainz was thinking by trying to recruit Gazef. He certainly doesn't need his fighting power, he has lizardmen to teach martial arts, it seems the only reason is because he wants to treat Gazef as a dress-up doll and give him gear from Nazarick's armory so he has a fighting puppet to play with (he obviously uses the Guardians for anything serious)
>>133597716
>9th tier
So it's probably a 10th tier spell in Ygg then? The way Ainz keeps activating it for kicks I expected something like t8, t9.
>tfw I subconciously underestimate Ainz Ooal Gown because his feats seem too ridiculous
I-I'll be going to the happy farm now, no need to push me.what tier is Drifting Master Mine then?
>>133597745
>Now, what I'd like to know is what Ainz was thinking by trying to recruit Gazef.

Ainz respected Gazef as a person for his determination and his courage in marching off to his death. Remember he's basically the only guy who didn't beg for his life, ever, as far as Ainz knew.
>>133597773
Drifting Master Mine sounds like a contact-fused Delayed Blast Fireball, which is 7th level. So maybe 8th tier?
Then again, Skull Trap, which is an immobile mine,is a 3rd level spell that does huge damage at higher caster levels.
Hm, about Gazef, he is the one person who defied Jircniv's prediction that anyone who knew about Ainz's power would not dare to fight him. He just up and challenged the sorcerer king to 1v1 him despite having seen what he did.
I can see why Ainz would respect that kind of courage even as he shakes his head at his stubbornness.
>>133597291
How would the two even know he employed a time stop? Neither have the necessary outside insight to conclude that anything like that happened. To them, Gazef rushed forward, fell over and was dead. Yeah, *magic* happened, obviously, but beyond that they have no way to even contextualize that info.
I doubt even Fluder or Rigrit have the knowledge to make anything of that. True Death was a 9th tier spell, i.e. literaly out of reach for anyone in the NW, and I doubt something as stupidly powerful as an instant-cast Time Stop is anywhere below that.
As is, they know that Ainz *probably* did something and that Gazef *probably* did as a result of that. That's a pretty fucking shaky foundation to base an assassination strategy on...
>>133597773
Ainz respected Gazef as a person for his determination and his courage in marching off to his death. Remember he's basically the only guy who didn't beg for his life, ever, as far as Ainz knew.
>>133597745
>why recruit
he said some line about collection, its like getting all the cool action figures of your favorite anime or something
thats what zeef amounted to
I think he should have had Demi replace the king in his mind with Ainz, though I doubt Ainz would do that out of respect.
>>133597895
What Gazef wanted to of was make Ainz show his prowess in personal combat so future generations could learn from it.
He got his wish. However, Ainz fights on a level so far above the NW that even seeing him show his stuff didn't teach Brain and Climb anything. It would be like walking out into an open field to show people that artillery from 30 km away can fire 155mm shells to blow up the entire area.
>>133597895
I think they'll team up with landfall and think they have a chance if they get Momon to join too
This pattern will likely repeat. They just don't understand how powerful he truly is even if he does summon army killing monsters.
>>133598003
that was climb's guess
I think he's wrong
Zeef is just loyal and dumb

More like Enri asking for supplies from her God and goes on campaigns to kill shit for the glory of Ainz. Look out beastmen!
>>133591794
Shashuryu already kinda did that asking Mare about the Tomb and Mare confirmed that Ainz and friends created divine realms. As far as the lizards go, Ainz can literally shape the world as he see fits.
>>133599269
I'd rather see the lizardmen being sent to purge the beastmen for the glory of their new god.
>>133597382
>I mean, the legends say that there's this dude who shot down the sun nine times.
That isn't known in the NW, because that legend is associated with Hyou Yi, the bow Peroroncino created, which is actually based off a real Chinese legend. In other words, it wasn't even a legit World Class Item, it was no different than someone creating Cloud's Buster Sword in Yggdrasil.
>>133599302
Same but I doubt their numbers are enough; tag along perhaps?
>>133599319
They can fight alongside undead to boost their numbers. I just want the goblins the meme and flex.
Has Overlord ever talked about on how the players 'dive' into the game? Or they prefer to avoid to talk about this issue?
>>133599424
no, nothing
The few facts we know about the world-
>Nazi uniform pro environmental movement in yurop, they lost
>you need artificial heart and lungs to breathe the air
>there was recently a big war
>worker's rights are pretty shit
>>133597773
Clementine didn't beg for her life. She just struggled the whole way and despaired. Gazef on the other hand is the only person who faced death bravely that Ainz knew.
>>133599141
I just hope he doesn't neglect catching up on his other series, like Knights and Magic, Altina, Gifting, etc. Those 3 have been rotating forever with no regularity I'm always afraid he's gonna drop them.
>>133599351
"Hohoho, Heavy Infantry! As Jugem-san taught you!"

The war against beastmen is a legit excuse to have Warboss Enri fucking up furries with a gigantic choppa.
>>133599141
Man, I was pretty apprehensive about this when I first read a synopsis. I mean a nazi protagonist is not something I could usually get behind, considering I am German (laugh all you want, but I am old-fashioned like that).
Thank fuck the whole thing takes place in fantasy not-Germany and so far reads more like a Flashman novel as portrayed by a psychotic loli, which I am all for.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
>>133599627
Well it's more like Patrioric Prussia instead of Nazi since at least so far there has been no "race" based hardline nationalism.
