Kill Squad Notes

Kill Squad

1.) Albedo only cares for Momonga not the other Supreme Beings

>"...Still, I really don’t understand."

>There was a hard glint in Albedo’s eyes as she muttered to herself. She turned
to regard the room once more.
None of the maids were allowed into this room. This was both because Albedo
wanted to monopolize the Ainz dolls and also because of a particular corner
of the room.
That corner contained the flag emblazoned with the symbol of Ainz Ooal Gown.
It should have been proudly displayed near the entrance, but it had instead
been thrown into the corner where it was now gathering dust. There was no
trace of respect or admiration for it, only disdain, anger and scorn.

>"Ainz Ooal Gown, huh …how meaningless."

>Albedo thought of the flag that had replaced the flag of Ainz Ooal Gown. It was
too large, and so it drooped like a theatre backdrop.

>"The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick belongs to you and you alone. I, Albedo, wish only to serve you. Ahhhh …How I wish I could hear your wondrous name again someday—"

[V6]

>Recently, she had been considering a visit to the Kingdom, to meet with the
King. In truth, her presence was not necessary, as long as her master – who
overflowed with wisdom – was around. However, such tasks were little more
than petty errands, which did not suit his role as an absolute ruler.

[V10]

>Could it be that this was the ideal sort of country for her beloved master? Or
was he waiting for something? If it was the latter, she could only feel embarrassed
that she could not read her master’s thoughts.
This was one of the few times that she was troubled by her master’s brilliant
intellect.
There were many meanings to every move her master made, as a being of deep
insight and distant considerations. She felt the most bitter regret because she
could not immediately comprehend the significance of her master’s actions.

>"All I need to do is obey Ainz-sama’s decisions, no matter what kind of country
he wants to create."

>In all ways but one, Albedo would faithfully follow her beloved husband.

[V10]

I want to establish that Albedo isn't pulling Ainz's strings and is just like all the other NPCs, she just is loyal to Ainz. So don't listen to those "Albedo is trying to usurp Ainz"

>“The Ainz Ooal Gown which abandoned us… It makes me mad.”

>Although she had been filled with joy when her beloved had taken that name for his own, that had turned to worry when she realised that it also referred to the people who upset her.
With a fiendish expression on her face, Albedo approached the flag on the floor and raised her foot to step on it.

>“—Shit! How dare these pieces of shit insult my love’s name!”

>Albedo cursed freely as she trampled the flag. With her breathing in chaos, she seemed to notice something and raised her face, whose expression softened as she saw it.

>“Ahhh, Ainz-sama. No, Momonga-sama. Only you are my true master. I shall make you the sole ruler of Nazarick. There’s no need for those other people. Only you, and only you will rule forever—”

>“Yes, absolutely. If anyone tries to stop you, I will destroy them even if they’re a Guardian. I am your true follower, your loyal slave. So please, bestow your compassion upon my body…”

[Emissary of the King]

2.) Rubedo

On the 8th Floor we know certain things:

>"Then I will leave that matter to Albedo. However, you must be careful on the
Eighth Floor. If an emergency situation occurs there, a situation may emerge
that you cannot deal with."

>The reason why there were no pop monsters on the Ninth Floor was simply because
if any intruders could overcome the NPC defenders of the Eighth Floor,
the most powerful beings in the Tomb, then Ainz Ooal Gown’s chances of victory
would be slim.

>"The Eighth Floor is managed by Victim, so it’ll be fine. No, entry to the Eighth
Floor is forbidden. I rescind the order I just gave to Albedo as well. In short,
entry to the Eighth Floor will only be effected with my permission. I will undo
the seal and permit direct access from the Seventh Floor to the Ninth Floor."

>If they were not programmed to be loyal to
weaklings, what would that mean for him? In all likelihood, they were not written
to be slavishly loyal. That would mean that whether or not they obeyed the
order would depend on who the giver was. And it would be bad enough if they
did not listen to him, but what if they betrayed their guild leader after finding
out that he was powerless...?

[V1]

>"...Since I am not permitted to leave this Frozen Prison, I am unsure about the
situation outside. Is Spinel still well?"

>...As I thought.

>Albedo regretted asking as she thought that, but in an even voice, she replied:

>"Nee-san, you call her that …"

>"I hate that girl. Even if we were all characters made by Tabula Smaragdinasama
…no, Spinel was made in a completely different way from us. She is not
the kind of person to whom people could open their hearts."

>"That’s not the case, Nee-san. She’s adorable."

>"All I can think is that you have been deceived by her. Spinel will definitely
bring a great disaster to Nazarick someday. I’ll wager on that."

>"...We will never see eye to eye on that point. I believe that girl will not cause
any trouble."

>"Really now? Well, if you — if the Guardian Overseer feels that way, then
there’s nothing left for me to say. However, I hope that you will take my concerns
into consideration, in your role as the Guardian Overseer."

>Resisting the urge to sigh, Albedo teleported elsewhere.
However, the matter which she could have laughed off usually now stuck in
her heart like a thorn.
She felt that everyone created by the Supreme Beings was staunchly loyal to
them. Yet, Shalltear had still rebelled against them. If that were the case, anyone
else might be next.

>For all she knew, her little sister might also betray—

[V3]

Albedo feels like the other NPCs that they SHOULD be loyal to the Supreme Beings on instinct. However, we see with Albedo, that this is not true. She has loyalty to Momonga written in her, but most likely due to Ainz's feelings of abandonment she grew to hate Ainz Ooal Gown besides him. So negative feelings and flavor text can surpass the natural instinct of Creator > Guild Master > All other Supreme Beings > NPCs hierarchy of loyalty.

>In the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, there were four NPCs who were
exponents of melee combat. Cocytus had the strongest attack power when
using a weapon, Albedo had an impregnable defense when in her heavy armor,
while Sebas in his true form was stronger than either of them in melee combat.
And then was one more, who was superior to all of them.

[V1]

Based on how there is an NPC far superior to all the others in melee and how Ainz said:

>"There is another thing I would like to ask; may I have command authority
over Rubedo?"

>"Denied."

>Ainz replied instantly.
Rubedo was the single most powerful individual in Nazarick. Purely in terms
of melee combat, she was stronger than Sebas, Cocytus and Albedo. In all likelihood, even a fully-equipped Ainz could not beat her, and even Shalltear would
be considered weak in comparison to her.
The only people who can beat her are the ones from the 8th Floor, and they’d
have to use World-Class Items. No matter how strong she is, she probably wouldn’t
be able to fight one of them to a draw, but...

>"While the activation experiment was a success, I do not intend to mobilize it
for the moment. I wish to ask you; why do you need so much fighting power?"

[V7]

I think myself Albedo believe that Rubedo will listen to her because she is blinded by love mainly. She thinks everyone sees Ainz as she does and that he's the bestest of the best of all the Supreme Beings. But like Ainz hypothesized Rubedo probably has something wrong with her unlike all the others.

Is it flavor text? Is it the whole she is something else unlike the others? Now most people see the activation line, and say she's a golem based on the Caloric Stone theory was used for her. Her strength suggests she is far superior to the other Lv. 100 NPCs and only the mysterious 8th Floor Boyz are on par with her. Even a World Champion is inferior to her, the cheat ability according to Maru. So there is definitely something up with how she was made.

>“You know about Gargantua?”

>“Of course. The Guardian of the 4th Floor—-Strategic Siege Golem,
Gargantua. Everyone present here knows this.”

>Gargantua was a golem created by one of Yggdrasil’s rules. It was not
created from scratch by Ainz Ooal Gown.

>It could be used during sieges. However it could never be used to protect
the base. It was just that its text tag was configured to say that it was
the Guardian of the 4th Floor. There was a problem with storage and so
it was just kept submerged at the bottom of the underground lake of the
4th floor.

>“It is not a Guardian. It simply a golem given the responsibilities of a
Guardian.”

[WN]

Umu. Why did Lupu always add a su at the end of her sentences in front of
them? Ahh, I see, so it was to make them sound disturbing. Perhaps she was
trying to help me. What a cute little rascal she is...
"...Hm? My apologies. I have another question that is unrelated to combat.
While that is Albedo’s order, if I were to tell you to abandon that order, who
would have priority?"
"Naturally, your words would have priority, Ainz-sama. However, I must sincerely
apologize that we will obey orders from our summoner, Anyami Shirabesama,
above all else."
"...Hm? Who’s that?"
Was there an NPC like that? As the question grew in his heart, the flames in
Ainz’s eyes flared as he heard Yuri’s answer.
"That would be Temperance-sama."
"Eh? Temperance-san? Anyami? Ahhh …well, that does work as a physical
description …but still, Anyami Shirabe?"

In the absence of a direct order, vassals like Doppelgangers would obey the
NPC in charge of them. In that case, what would happen if a certain NPC
wanted to kill Ainz and gathered many high-level vassals and ordered them
to attack Ainz with their strongest moves? Of course, this would be happening
while Ainz was unable to detect or stop them.
Would they carry out that order? Or would they refuse orders like that?
"...You’re also ready to come at me like you want to kill me, is that it?"
"Yes. Those are the orders I have received, and I have determined that I also
have your permission, Ainz-sama."
The Yuri-Doppelganger’s answer made Ainz wrinkle his – nonexistent – brows.
...Isn’t this dangerous? It’s probably best to see exactly where the boundary lies
here.
If even Ainz could think of this, then Albedo had most likely inspected it herself,
Still, he ought to make sure, just in case. He could not let a safety loophole
sit unfilled.
"...Indeed. I permit you to use your full abilities to kill me in this battle. Then
swear on the name of Ainz Ooal Gown once more. Can you swear that what
you said about your true identities just now was the truth?"
[V13]

Creator Loop Hole:

NPC who summons a Mercenary can order it to kill a Supreme Being.

Summmoner/Creator > Guild Master > Other Supreme Beings > Other NPCs

Conjecture:

NPCs are loyal unless they have flavor text that says they are not (Eclair).

Flavor Text > Racial Details > Inheritance from Creator

Albedo is a succubus but loves Momonga exclusively. Flavor Text > Race.

Inheritance fills the blanks for NPCs mainly for relationships and then details about what they think.

Sebas has no flavor text and has a sense of justice linked to Touch Me and his karma rating.


Karma rating affects decision making to a certain degree. Loyalty to Supreme Beings > Karma influence

see Sebas and Shizu during Volume 7.
