Nazarick Mythology

Nazarick Myth

Demiurge: Thank you for granting me a portion of your precious time, Ainz-sama.

Ainz: That's not a problem.
Ainz:Making time for the finest intellect of Nazarick my time will always be meaningful.
Ainz: Now then, what do you want to discuss with me?

Demiurge: Actually, I had an idea concerning world domination.

Ainz: Oh?

Demiurge: Humans are creatures who rely on faith in their gods as a pillar to prop up their spirits.

Demiurge: Therefore, by creating a myth that deifies Nazarick and yourself,
Demiurge: And then disseminating it,
Demiurge: It will make rulership easy for the next 50 to 100 years.

Ainz: I see, so you wish to invent a new mythology, then.
Ainz: Using the faith of humanity is truly a devilish course of action,
Ainz: Demiurge.

Demiurge: You flatter me.

Ainz: Still, faith in the Four Gods and the Six Gods is already deeply rooted in this world.
Ainz: Will it be so easy to encourage belief in a new mythos?
Ainz: What do you think, Sebas?

Sebas: Creating instant belief should be very difficult.
Sebas: But the Six Great Gods which the Slaine Theocracy worships
Sebas: Apparently descended upon this world 600 years ago, according to what I have heard.

Cocytus: After. Such. A. Long. Time. Faith. And. Worship. Would. Naturally. Take. Root.
Cocytus: Is. That. What. You. Mean?

Shalltear: And unlike the Six Great Gods
Shalltear: Ainz-sama will continue to reign throughout this time
Shalltear: Naturally, he will feel much more real.

Sebas: Humans are very utilitarian. Compared to a god they cannot see
Sebas: Ainz-sama - who can manifest his power in reality - will be better able to gain their worship.

Ainz: Hm. That might be the case.
Ainz: So, what kind of myths do you have in mind?

Albedo: Actually, everyone has come here today after coming up with various myths of their own.

Cocytus: May. We. Prevail. Upon. You. To. Select. A. Myth. That. Is. Worthy. Of. The. Supreme. One?

Ainz: A-ah, I see, I understand.
Ainz: Then let me hear them.
Ainz: (So they're really going to do this? Man, I feel uneasy...)
Ainz: (Everyone thinks too highly of me...)
Ainz: (If they just throw weird hurdles in my path)
Ainz: (It feels like my stomach cramps are going to get worse than before...)
Ainz: (Granted, I don't have a stomach.)

Shalltear: It's only natural that the myth which most accurately depicts the beauty of Ainz-sama
Shalltear: Should be mine.

Aura: Oho? I wonder about that~
Aura: The myth Mare and I came up with is a literary tour de force, you know.
Aura: Right, Mare?

Mare: We worked hard to come up with it after reading the books in the library.

Albedo: This too is a test of my love for Ainz-sama.
Albedo: And I have no intention of losing to anyone.

Ainz: (This is all really unsettling, but since everyone worked so hard to come up with their myths)
Ainz: (I'll need to carefully listen to them... hm.)
Ainz: I understand. Then take turns to tell me.

Sebas: Then, I shall begin.

Ainz: Mm.
Ainz: (Sebas has common sense and he understands the people of this world.
Ainz: (He probably won't come up with anything weird.)

Sebas: In the beginning...
Sebas: The 41 Supreme Beings of Ainz Ooal Gown created this world
Sebas: And everyone lived peaceful lives, bathed in their mercy.
Sebas: Eventually, the Supreme Beings decided that the world no longer needed their help
Sebas: And so they left.
Sebas: However, humans are creatures of good and evil and strength and weakness
Sebas: Without the leadership of the Supreme Beings
Sebas: They were overcome by their desires and fought for rulership over the world.
Sebas: And this has resulted in the state of the world as it is now.
Sebas: The Supreme Beings beheld the world which they had released with their own hands
Sebas: And sighed in sorrow as they saw how it was falling into ruin.
Sebas: And then, He who was the leader of the Supreme Beings
Sebas: Took upon himself the name of Ainz Ooal Gown
Sebas: And once more returned to this land.

Ainz: (He came up with a pretty serious myth...)
Ainz: (Still, if that's all...)

Sebas: And so, in order to set this world right, Ainz-sama has returned
Sebas: And has thrown himself into righteous battle!

Ainz: (The tension got ramped up all of a sudden!)

Sebas: In order to defeat the villains who walk the world and save the weak who cry out in suffering
Sebas: He fights without respite, in the name of mercy and justice!

Villain 1 (Totally Not Shalltear): "Ehehehe, did you think you could get away!?"

Villain 2 (Totally Not Albedo): "Just give up!"

Hapless Victim (Totally Not Mare): "Ohhh noes who will save meeee~"

Ainz-sama(?): "STOP RIGHT THERE VILLAINOUS SCUM!!"

Bystander 1 (Totally Not Aura): "Ahhh! And who are you!?"

"Ainz-sama(?)": "You may address me as -- AINZ OOAL GOWN!"

Bystander 2 (Totally Not Cocytus): "Wha-wha-what!? To. Think! It. Was. A. Supreme. Being!?"

Villain 3 (Totally Not Demiurge): "The Supreme Beings have departed this land!"
Villain 3 (Totally Not Demiurge): "He must be an impostor, trying to steal the name for himself!"
Villain 3 (Totally Not Demiurge): "Come~ give me your best shot!"

Ainz-sama(?): "To kidnap a child is a devilish act indeed!"
Ainz-sama(?): "Never shall it be forgiven!"
Ainz-sama(?): "Now vanish before the might of my magic! Like so!"

Bystander 3 (Totally not Sebas): "Guwaaaarrrgh~ That extraordinary power! That pure and noble soul!"
Bystander 3 (Totally not Sebas): "Behold! Truly he is the manifestation of Justice itself!"
Bystander 3 (Totally not Sebas): "The true king who will save this world of chaos!"
Bystander 3 (Totally not Sebas): "It is HE! And none other!"

Sebas: *cough cough wheeze*...And that is all. Thank you for hearing me out.

Mare: That was... really forceful, Sebas-san.

Sebas: To my shame... I had no choice but to get serious.

Ainz: Ah... speaking of which, there were quite a few lines in the middle of that
Ainz: And I think I even heard my voice too... what was that all about?

Demiurge: We rehearsed this beforehand.
Demiurge: A simple narration seemed somewhat lacking in immediacy.

Albedo: Ainz-sama's lines were supplied by Pandora's Actor.
Albedo: And then recorded by magic.

Aura: He totally felt like a friend of justice!

Ainz: (Justice? Ah, that's right, Sebas' creator, Touch Me-san)
Ainz: (Always got super fired-up whenever it came to hero stories.)
Ainz: (Did Sebas hear about those from him as well?)

Cocytus: Even. Non-warriors. Will. Admire. One. Who. Is. Strong. It. Is. The. Fundamental. Nature. Of. All. Lifeforms.
Cocytus: Emphasizing. Ainz-sama's. Strength. Is. A. Good. Idea.

Albedo: It is especially true in an age like this with frequent wars and ravaging monsters.

Ainz: But saying that I, one of the undead, am righteous lacks persuasive power, don't you think?

Demiurge: In addition, championing justice excessively
Demiurge: Will place many limitations on our future operations.

Sebas: Demiurge.
Sebas: Would that not be solved if you could simply refrain from indulging excessively in your hobbies?

Demiurge: I find that quite upsetting.
Demiurge: I merely said so for the sake of Ainz-sama and Nazarick's future actions.
Demiurge: The various human experiments I have undertaken were also for that reason.
Demiurge: Granted, it is not as though I did not enjoy them...
Demiurge: But my top priority was the benefits they could provide..

Albedo: In any case, from Nazarick's perspective
Albedo: It would be better if this myth contained elements which could accommodate demons or the undead.

Shalltear: How about my myth, then?




-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Shalltear: In the past, there was no concept of life and death in the world
Shalltear: All living creatures enjoyed eternal life. However...

Aura: I say...
Aura: Could you not speak like that?

Shalltear: ...Huh?

Aura: I've been thinking about it ever since we started rehearsing
Aura: But it doesn't feel atmospheric at all.

Albedo: Indeed. Tone it down when you're narrating.

Shalltear: Hmph. Fine, I got it.

Shalltear: In the past, there was no concept of life and death in the world
Shalltear: All living creatures enjoyed eternal life. However...
Shalltear: However, eternal life was not as convenient as one might imagine.
Shalltear: Aging, hunger, sickness and injury
Shalltear: THey had to bear all that suffering and more.

Aura: Ohh! It really feels like a myth now!

Shalltear: And the one who felt sorrow for this world and stepped forth was
Shalltear: Ainz Ooal Gown-sama.
Shalltear: Ainz-sama brought the concept of death to the world
Shalltear: In order to free the people from a lifetime of pain and misery
Shalltear: He opened the gate to the sweet afterlife

Miserable Person 1 (Totally Not Albedo): "Ahh... My body's so cold... it's so hard to breathe..."

Miserable Person 2 (Totally Not Aura): "Uwaaahhh... Albedo... how did things end up like this!"

Miserable Person 3 (Totally Not Mare): "P-please pull yourself together! Albedo-san~"

Miserable Person 4 (Totally Not Sebas): "Ohh... At last, I can't move any longer..."

Miserable Person 5 (Totally Not Cocytus): "Oh. What. A. Cold. Yet. Peaceful. Smile."

Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "That is what they call Death."

Miserable Person 6: "Ah... this majestic and saintly person... could it be!"

Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "I am the Lord of the Undead who rules over life and death..."
Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "Ainz Ooal Gown."
Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "Life and death are nothing more than states of being to me."
Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "And life is simply an incomplete state where one must taste their fill of needless suffering."

Shalltear: And then, after creating the concept of Death,
Shalltear: Ainz-sama went on to create the concept of Undeath -- and created the undead.

Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "Be free of your meaningless misery, and enjoy eternal bliss."
Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "You are a completed being - an undying being."
Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "One of the undead."
Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "Only when all lives join the ranks of the undead"
Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "Will they begin to have value."

Shalltear: Ainz-sama turned world-renowned beauties and heroes into undead creatures, one after the other
Shalltear: And thus forged a true paradise.
Shalltear: The undead rejoiced, for they were free of the misery of life
Shalltear: And they each pledged their loyalty to Ainz-sama.
Shalltear: And so, Ainz-sama -- known as the Lord of the Undead -- came to have
Shalltear: A beautiful Vampire Princess by his side.

Albedo: Hold it!

Shalltear: Ara~ Albedo, is there something that bothers you?

Albedo: That last part didn't show up in the rehearsal!

Shalltear: Hmph. That was simply the result of seeking ever-greater quality.
Shalltear: A story needs a heroine, after all.
Shalltear: Ah, then we'll just go with this.
Shalltear: Albedo, the first to die
Shalltear: Became the minion of the princess and was ordered around -

Albedo: It seems you're tired of living, aren't you?

Aura: Come on, enough of that, honestly-

Cocytus: I. Have. Been. Thinking. This. Ever. Since. The. Rehearsal.
Cocytus: But. This. Seems. To. Promote. An. Undead. Supremacist. Angle. Too. Strongly.

Ainz: (In other words, Shalltear simply let her fetishes run wild.)

Shalltear: When you become undead, you don't need to eat or drink.
Shalltear: You won't get sick and you won't die because you reach the end of your lifespan!
Shalltear: This way, the people - who fear war and hunger - will embrace this
Shalltear: Ah~ What a wonderful undead life~

Aura: Life?

Mare: Still, if you want to become undead...

Aura: You still have to die once.
Aura: I'm sure there's a lot of people who wouldn't want that.

Sebas: Claiming that the afterlife is better than the present one is a type of doomsday theory.
Sebas: While I believe it will attract fanatical supporters
Sebas: It will probably be difficult for it to gain broad acceptance among the masses.

Shalltear: But the undead are so cool and they've got so many advantages...

Ainz: While proclaiming the virtues of being undead is a good idea
Ainz: I would still like to bring humans and demons under my wing while they are still alive.

Demiurge: They cannot multiply if they are dead, after all.

Albedo: How could such a plan pass muster?
Albedo: Ainz-sama, please listen to my myth.

Aura: come to think of it, I don't recall Albedo presenting a myth during our rehearsal.

Albedo: I couldn't make it in time back then.
Albedo: But after spending a great deal of effort working on it
Albedo: I'm satisfied with the results I’ve achieved.

Albedo: That land was abandoned by the gods.
Albedo: Its people engaged in shameless and unsightly struggles with each other for wealth,
Albedo: Single-mindedly building up hatred and resentment.
Albedo: Countless nations were born and destroyed, over and over again.
Albedo: It was as though the very world itself sought destruction.

Mare: Ah~ It sounds really atmospheric...

Ainz: (It sounds less like a myth and more like a PV for a new game...)

Albedo: The fragile shards of hope were washed away and obliterated by the tides of despair.
Albedo: And in this world, that was sprinting headlong down the road to annihilation
Albedo: Was one who still has not abandoned the wish known as "love"
Albedo: A girl who continued offering her prayers to the gods.
Albedo: And her name was - Albedo.

Ainz: Eh?

Shalltear: Hahhh?

Albedo: The horses neighed and savage shouts rang out
Albedo: Lewd smiles crossed the face of sword-wielding humans
Albedo: As they chased the fleeing girl.
Albedo: The girl prayed as she ran.
Albedo: She ran on - fearlessly, desperately, with all her might
Albedo: And then, just as the bloodstained sword was about to fall
Albedo: A miracle happened.

Ainz-sama (Totally Not PA): "Are you alright?"

Albedo: The brave and handsome Ainz Ooal Gown-sama rescued the girl.

The Brave And Handsome Ainz Ooal Gown-sama (Totally Not PA): "This world is filthy beyond redemption."
The Brave And Handsome Ainz Ooal Gown-sama (Totally Not PA): "I did not expect that it would hold someone as pure as you."

Albedo: Ainz-sama took the girl by the hand, and stepped into the sky.

The Brave And Handsome Ainz Ooal Gown-sama (Totally Not PA): "Behold. The land is corrupt. There is no saving it."
The Brave And Handsome Ainz Ooal Gown-sama (Totally Not PA): "Therefore, a new world is needed."
The Brave And Handsome Ainz Ooal Gown-sama (Totally Not PA): "In that new world, I would have you as my bride, Albedo."

Albedo: Ainz-sama then bade the stars fall from the night sky
Albedo: Thus cleansing the impure earth.
Albedo: After that, the two of them returned to the land, and at long last, they became man and wife.
Albedo: That is how the world was made.

Shalltear: Hold it right there bitch!

Aura: What the hell kind of ego stroke was that!?

Albedo: Well, as Shalltear was saying, stories need heroines.
Albedo: That being the case, would it not make sense for me, the Guardian Overseer, to take the stage?

Shalltear: Khhhh... how thick-skinned can one person be!?

Cocytus: Truly. She. Is. The. Guardian. With. The. Greatest. Defensive. Strength.

Mare: That doesn't seem quite right, does it?

Ainz: Well, regardless of whether or not Albedo should show up in that myth...
Ainz: The fact is that in that myth, the world has already been destroyed.

Sebas: Indeed. If it does not contain any elements which appeal to humanity
Sebas: Then it will probably be very difficult for it to gain any traction.

Albedo: How about this, then?
Albedo: After that, the two of them worked very hard and had a whole bunch of kids
Albedo: And those children became mankind.

Shalltear: KSHAAAAAHHHHHH!

Cocytus: Indeed. It. Is. Quite. Appealing. However...
Cocytus: That. Would. Mean. That. All. Of. Humanity. Bears. Ainz-sama's. Bloodline.

Albedo: Hm. That is quite unpleasant. As I thought, we should skip that after all.

Ainz: (It would be quite vexing for humans to be told they have bony blood flowing in their veins, right?)

Demiurge: Good grief. The objective of this gathering was not to showcase our personal wishes.

Cocytus: Demiurge. Is. Correct.
Cocytus: Then. I. Shall. Speak. Of. My. Myth. Next.

Cocytus: There. Was. Once. A. Boy. In. A. Certain. Small. Town.
Cocytus: The. Lad. Was. A. Lone. Wanderer.
Cocytus: But. He. Was. Straightforward. Hardworking. And. Brave. And. He. Was. Loved. By. All.
Cocytus: He. Possessed. A. Mysterious. Power.
Cocytus: The. Ability. To. Perceive. What. Others. Could. Not.
Cocytus: Guided. By. This. Power. He. Encountered. Many. Travails.

Lone Wanderer (Totally Not Mare): "Er, er, these incidents were the doing of monsters..."
Lone Wanderer (Totally Not Mare): "I'm very clear on that I need to do something about it!"

Cocytus: A  Violent. Monster. Set. Its. Sights. Upon. A. Town.

Violent Monster (Totally Not Aura): "Awoooo!"

Cocytus: A. Cruel. Witch. Kidnapped. Hu-humans.

Cruel Witch (Totally Not Shalltear): "They were delicious."

Cocytus: A. Demon. Laid. Its. Fearsome. Schemes.

Demon (Totally Not Demiurge): "Greetings~ I am~ the mastermind~ behind everything~"

Cocytus: He. Steadfastly. Faced. All. These. Disasters.
Cocytus: And. With. His. Courage. And. His. Mysterious. Power. He. Attained. Victory.

Lone Wanderer (Totally Not Mare): "E-eiiiii!"

Violent Monster (Totally Not Aura): "Noooo~"

Cruel Witch (Totally Not Shalltear): "Guwaaargh~"

Demon (Totally Not Demiurge): "I lose~!"

Lone Wanderer (Totally Not Mare): "I, I won!"

Cocytus: Af-after. The. Number. Of. Challenges. He. Had. Overcome. Reached. 100
Cocytus: He. Was. Hailed. As. The. Hero. Of. 100. Trials.

Civilian 1 (Totally Not Sebas): You could well be someone who could conquer the world.
Civilian 2 (Totally Not Albedo): Everyone will obey you.

Cocytus: E-Eventually. A. Sorcerer. Appeared. Before. The. Lad.

Hero of 100 Trials (Totally Not Mare): "Ah, who are you?"

Sorcerer (Totally Not Pandora's Actor): Well done. My name is Ainz Ooal Gown.
Sorcerer (Totally Not Pandora's Actor): I am your father.

Hero of 100 Trials (Totally Not Mare): "Ah! Father!"

God (Totally Not Pandora's Actor): "I despaired over humanity's foolishness"
God (Totally Not Pandora's Actor): "And so I sent you out to be a hero that would guide them."
God (Totally Not Pandora's Actor): "You have done very well. The world is at peace now."

Cocytus: And. So. The. Hero. Who. Led. The. Masses.
Cocytus: E-eventually. Vanished. Under. Unknown. Circumstances.
Cocytus: Because. He. Knew. His. Mission. Was. Complete.
Cocytus: But. If. The. World. Falls. Into. Chaos. Once. More. And. If. Mankind. Loses. Its. Way. SoughtOughtForward.

Cocytus: And. That. Is. All. Do. You. Like. It. Ainz-sama?

*emotion override*

Ainz: Mm. It was very good, Cocytus.
Ainz: Is that what they call a monomyth?
Ainz: A story about a protagonist with a special bloodline who overcomes difficulty
Ainz: Ought to be quite popular with the masses.

Cocytus: Thank. You. Very. Much.

Ainz: (Well, it's probably because of the actors)
Ainz: (But it sounded less like a myth than one of those kids' stories you'd see at a school arts festival.)

Mare: I'm sure it'll be a hit among the kids!

Aura: You do like that sort of thing after all.
Aura: Like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and so on.

Demiurge: Perfecting and letting the bards spread an adventure story
Demiurge: Seems like a good way to get the word out.

Albedo: In that case, it would seem having an heir would be essential.

Shalltear: It would be more convincing that way.

Ainz: Urk, well, while that might be the case...
Ainz: That role, uh, can be filled by some actor instead.
Ainz: Making a baby skeleton and whatnot

Albedo and Shalltear: Ufufufufufu~

Shalltear: But~ a~ real~ child~

Albedo: Would be more convincing~

Albedo and Shalltear: Ufufufufufu!

Ainz: H-hold it, don't come at me together, you two, you're too close!
Ainz: Demiurge! You're next! Hurry up and recite your myth!

Demiurge: Understood, Ainz-sama.
Demiurge: Then I shall unveil my myth.

***

Demiurge: Once, the world was ruled by a mighty army of demons.
Demiurge: It was a sight that could only be described as "hellish".
Demiurge: Mankind was made into slaves and tormented
Demiurge: Becoming the sacrifices for the demons' cruel ways.
Demiurge: Some were subjected to harsh human experimentation over and over again
Demiurge: Some who were skinned alive
Demiurge: Some who were forced to eat the corpses of their fellows
Demiurge: Some were devoured from the inside by fearsome insects

Mare: That level of detail seems a bit excessive...

Aura: You might as well say that all of it actually happened.

Demiurge: As the world was shrouded in despair
Demiurge: Its savior - Ainz Ooal Gown-sama - appeared.
Demiurge: Ainz-sama challenged the demonic hordes to battle
Demiurge: And with his boundless intelligence he finally drove them back.

(Totally Not Sebas): "Thank you very much, Ainz-sama, the world has been saved!"

(Totally Not Albedo): "You are truly the great one who is suited to ruling this world!"
(Totally Not Albedo): "I beg you to lead us!"

(Totally Not PA): "Unfortunately, I cannot."
(Totally Not PA): "There are other things that I must do."

(Totally Not SHalltear): "How could that be!? Please remain here to save us!"

(Totally Not Aura): "We beg for your mercy! Please grant us your mercy!"

(Totally Not PA): "Heed me, mankind!"
(Totally Not PA): "The demonic army has not been completely destroyed."
(Totally Not PA): "Someday, they will be reborn with greater might than before!"
(Totally Not PA): "In order to deal with them next time, I too, must become stronger than I am now."

(Totally Not Cocytus): "What. Did. You. Say? You Mean. You. Will. Become. Stronger. Than. You. Are. Now?"

(Totally Not Mare): "I, I expected nothing less of Ainz-sama. Truly you are a great man of surpassing intellect!"

(Totally Not PA): "I shall return."
(Totally Not PA): "And I promise you that when I do, I shall be your leader."
(Totally Not PA): "Farewell, humanity!"

(Totally Not Sebas): "Ainz-sama!"

(Totally Not Albedo): Ainz-sama!"

Demiurge: With hope in their hearts, the people watched Ainz-sama leave.
Demiurge: Believing that someday, Ainz-sama would return.
Demiurge: And now, Ainz-sama has returned, as the prophecies foretold
Demiurge: In order to fulfil the promise of the past.
Demiurge: Now, the people should serve him with everything they have built up in preparation for this day.
Demiurge: Indeed... as Ainz-sama's livestock.




-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Ainz: Eh? Ah? Eh... eh?
Ainz: Livestock?

Demiurge: Yes, livestock.

Ainz: Kachiku?

Demiurge: Yes, kachiku.

Ainz: *cough* Can't they be servants?

Demiurge: Nazarick has always been a land of heteromorphic creatures
Demiurge: And even being counted as the least among them is a great honor.
Demiurge: Therefore, in order to not let them roam free,
Demiurge: We must inculcate in them the self-awareness that they are no different from domesticated animals.
Demiurge: Do you not think so, Sebas?

Sebas: I believe Tsuare is welcome in Nazarick as a maid.

Demiurge: I am speaking about her intentions.
Demiurge: I do not intend to gainsay Ainz-sama's will.
Demiurge: It is my hope that she does not forget to be humble.
Demiurge: For instance... by wearing a collar, or something similar.

Sebas: D-Demiurge, what are you say-

Shalltear: Enough.
Shalltear: We are standing before Ainz-sama.

Albedo: What need is there for an argument between two colleagues who serve the Supreme One?
Albedo: How unsightly.

Sebas and Demiurge: The two of you are the last people I would expect to say that.

Cocytus: Speaking. Of. Which.
Cocytus: Is. There. A. Need. For. The. Section. Where. Ainz-sama. Leaves?

Demiurge: Of course!
Demiurge: That way, we can declare that Ainz-sama is the original and rightful ruler of this land
Demiurge: And that the gods being worshipped now are
Demiurge: Nothing more than country bumpkins from parts unknown.

Aura: Would anyone really believe such a convenient premise?

Demiurge: If it was simply a declaration, then in all likelihood, it would not succeed.
Demiurge: However. things would be different if we could back that declaration up.

Albedo: Do you intend to make use of Jaldabaoth's attack on the Royal Capital?

Mare: I see, if you said that it was the work of a resurrected demon from that myth...
Mare: Then everyone would believe it.

Sebas: Even if they don't believe it, if they are actually threatened by demons
Sebas: Then they will have no choice but to depend on Ainz-sama.

Ainz: (While this is very much Demiurge's style)
Ainz: (If you consider the part where I leave and return)
Ainz: (To be Demiurge's wish...)
Ainz: (Am I reading too deeply into things?)
Ainz: (Could it be that he didn't want me, but Ulbert-san to come back...)
Ainz: (...Forget it, let's not think about that sort of thing.)

Demiurge: Now then, the only myth left is Aura and Mare's.

Cocytus: The. Two. Of. Them. Did. Not. Make. It. In. Time. For. The. Rehearsal.

Mare: Ah, yes, we took too long thinking it up.

Sebas: Which only goes to show how serious you were about preparing. I look forward to this.

Mare: I don't feel too confident, speaking after everyone else...

Albedo: Don't worry, Mare.
Albedo: It can't possibly be worse than Shalltear's.

Shalltear: ALbedo's should be worse!

Aura: Yes, yes, that's true.
Aura: No matter how ours turns out, it'll definitely be better than what you two came up with.

Shalltear and Albedo: Say what!?

Ainz: Ah... calm down, both of you.

Mare: Yes, thank you very much, Ainz-sama.

Ainz: (Now then, I wonder what sort of myth the two of them came up with?)
Ainz: (Will it be childish and cheerful?)
AInz: (No, Mare's been mugging in the Library all this time. It might turn out to be quite proper.)

***

Aura: This was once a fertile land, where the beasts lived peaceful lives.
Aura: But suddenly, evil shadows set foot into this eternal paradise.

Mare: The name of this evil - humanity.
Mare: They were a prideful, despicable, greedy and savage lot

Aura: As they attacked the beasts and despoiled this paradise
Aura: Five warriors stepped forth!

Warrior 1 (Totally Not PA): "With supreme courage - Ainz Red!"

Warrior 2 (Totally Not PA): "With supreme wisdom - Ainz Blue!"

Warrior 3 (Totally Not PA): "With supreme benevolence - Ainz Green!"

Warrior 4 (Totally Not PA): "With supreme terror - Ainz Black!"

Warrior 5 (Totally Not PA): "With supreme mercy - Ainz Pink!"

AInzes (Totally Not PA): "We are the Supreme Sentai - the Ainz Five!"

Shalltear: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Albedo: Five of them?

Ainz: There's five of me!?

Mare: From the heavens they descended, the Supreme Quintet - the Ainz Five!

Aura: In order to save the pitiful animals
Aura: They tore mankind to shreds and cast them aside, then cast them aside and tore them to pieces again

Ainz Red (Totally Not PA): "Let's finish this in one blow - Supreme Bazooka!"

Shalltear: Supreme Bazooka!?

Aura: However! The fallen humans stubborn fused together into one being!
Aura: And after becoming gigantic, they intended to trample the Ainz Five underfoot!

Ainz Red (Totally Not PA): "Keh! In that case, Nazarick! TRANSFORM!"

Albedo: Transform?

Ainz Red (Totally Not PA): "It's finished! Supreme Combination - GREAT TOMB!"

Mare: With the power of Nazarick, which had transformed into a giant golem
Mare: They finally wiped out mankind once and for all!

Ainz: (Wiped them out!?)

Ainz Black (Totally Not PA): "Hmph, we've won."

Ainz Pink (Totally Not PA): "Still~ humanity might come back some day to cause trouble."

Ainz Blue (Totally Not PA): "There's 30 of them for every one you see, right?"

Ainz Green (Totally Not PA): "No matter how many times humanity comes back, we just need to crush them, isn't that right, Red?"

Ainz Red (Totally Not PA): "Ah, of course."

Aura: Fight on! Ainz Five! Don't lose! Ainz Five!
Aura: Until supreme peace comes to the world at last!
Aura: The End!

***

Everyone: Hm... mm...

Ainz: Ah... you two... about that...

Aura and Mare: Yes!

Ainz: What exactly did you use for reference material?

Aura: Ah, this was the book Mare found in the Library!

Mare: Someone put it in the corner of the mythology section!

Ainz: (Ah~ I see~)
Ainz: (If they found it in the mythology section, obviously they'd think it was some kind of myth...)
Ainz: (Ahaha... Who the hell put that in there anyway!?)
Ainz: (Although it couldn't be anyone other than Touch-san!)
Ainz: (It might be historical, but it's definitely not mythology!)

Aura: Mare said he wanted to do this no matter what!

Mare: Oneechan, weren't you interested in it too!?

Ainz: (Hmm... how shall I say this...)
Ainz: (Saying there's five of me and whatnot)
Ainz: (For some reason I have the feeling Albedo's going to say that it's disrespectful.)
Ainz: (They're just kids, they don't know these things... I need to help them out.)

Albedo: Ahhh... Ainz-sama... to think there would be five of you...

Ainz: (Or we could go with that...)

Cocytus: Courage. Wisdom. Benevolence. Terror. Mercy.
Cocytus: They. Summarized. Ainz-sama's. Greatness. Into. Five. Easily. Understood. Qualities.

Shalltear: Indeed, Ainz-sama possesses all five of them in abundance.

Demiurge: And stating that Nazarick can transform during emergencies is an excellent trick.

Ainz: (Approval of this is surprisingly high.)

Sebas: A moment, please.

Ainz: (Is Sebas going to object to this after all?)

Sebas: When Nazarick transforms, can it play hot-blooded theme music?

Ainz: (I knew it~ He truly is Touch Me's son after all~ why you~)


Demiurge: We have all presented our myths.
Demiurge: Ainz-sama, could you tell us which of them is best?

Ainz: (None of them are best. In fact, all of them are problematic.)
Ainz: (Still, everyone went out of their way to think them up...)
Ainz: (That's it!)
Ainz: Hm, each of them is noteworthy in their own way. I appreciate everyone's efforts.

All: Yes!

Ainz: So I was thinking, I can't just choose one.
Ainz: Instead, how about combining the good points of all of them?

Cocytus: Oh... That. Is. A. Good. Idea.

Albedo: I expected nothing less of Ainz-sama!
Albedo: Since time is of the essence, let's put it together right away!




-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Sebas: As evil strides across the world, a righteous king rises to the challenge-

Shalltear: His name is the Great King of the Undead, Ainz Ooal Gown!
Shalltear: Accompanying him is the beautiful Vampire Princess-

Albedo: Ainz-sama rescued the pure maiden Albedo
Albedo: And cleansed the impure world-

Cocytus: And. Then. He. Begat. New. Humans.
Cocytus: Who. Were. Then. Led. By. Ainz-sama's. Heir.

Demiurge: However, the evil was not destroyed.
Demiurge: The cruel demonic army plunged the world into chaos.
Demiurge: And Ainz-sama decided to step forth once more.

Aura: Come! Now is the time to transform!

Mare: Super Supreme Combination - GREAT TOMB OF NAZARICK!

Sebas: And so, peace came to the world!

All: THE END!

Ainz: As I thought, let’s not do this.

All: EHHH!?
