Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

For a moment, everyone around could feel that the temperature around the two women seemed to drop by several degrees.

"Lupusregina!" Yuri shouted before the situation worsened.

"Ms. Rose, I'm sorry, my companions are still not well-educated in etiquette." Yuri said to Rose.

"Ms. Yuri, there is no way to apologize. You are showing off for your monarch, and I am responding strongly for my monarch. This is a confrontation of positions, all for the face of my monarch." Rose waved her hand directly.

"His Majesty Emperor Gilkenifer Lune Farod El Nix really has an excellent subordinate." Yuri said after a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"His Excellency Ainz Ooal Gown has more than one excellent subordinate." Rose replied meaningfully.

"It is indeed as you said!" Yuri nodded in approval.

After all, she couldn't say that her companion Lupusregina, and the siblings Aura and Mare who went to the palace last time, were not good enough.

"Sigh, the venue has been set up. If you don't mind, please take a rest here. We have prepared drinks." Yuri immediately changed the subject.

After all, the probing has been done. Although the show of power is not successful, it is not a failure. There is no need to entangle with it anymore.

After a while, Yuri, who received the notice, came over and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Lord Ainz is ready. Please come this way!"

Passing through the huge portal, everyone came directly to the gate of the throne room on the tenth floor.

What caught the eye was the majestic double-opening gate that was more than five meters high, decorated with intricately carved statues. The right door was a goddess, and the left door was a demon statue. The design was quite realistic. From a distance, you could feel that they were about to attack from the door.

The next second, the door opened automatically at a slow speed that matched the weight, and then the full view of the throne room was displayed in everyone's sight.

The wide high-ceilinged room would not feel crowded even if hundreds of people came.

The ceiling was quite high, and the walls were white, with various gold-dominated decorations inside.

Several gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling were made of colorful gems, emitting a dreamlike and dazzling light.

Huge flags with different patterns were inserted on the wall, and there were a total of 41 flags fluttering in the wind from the ceiling to the floor.

In the room with a lot of gold and silver tones, there was a staircase with several steps, and above it was a huge throne made of huge crystal cuts, with a backrest as high as the sky.

At this moment, on the throne, Momonga held the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown and stared at the people of the empire who were constantly walking towards the throne.

As Yuri, who was leading the way, stopped, Rose also stopped with Gilkenifer.

"Lord Ainz, the emperor of the Baharus Empire, Gilkenifer Luen Farod El Nix, requests to meet you." Albedo, who was standing next to Momonga, spoke.

"You are well-come, Emperor of the Baharu Empire. I am Ainz Ooal Gown, the master of the Great Tomb of Nazarick!" Momonga said.

"Thank you very much for your welcome! Your Excellency Ainz Ooal Gown!" Gilkeniff responded modestly.

"Lord Ainz, as a human of a lower species, you actually dare to have an equal dialogue with Lord Ainz. I think this is disrespectful! [Kneel down!]" Demiurge, with his frog head exposed, said rather impolitely, and after he finished speaking, he shouted out a word spirit.

In just a moment, a special force enveloped the people headed by Gilkeniff, pressing their bodies down like gravity.

Snap!

The next moment, Rose's palm slapped Gilkeniff's body.

He could only rely on the defensive equipment on his body to resist the word spirit technique, but he felt the pressure disappear instantly.

However, only Gilkenifer enjoyed this treatment, and the others knelt on the ground almost at the same time.

At this moment, Demiurge and other members on the high platform who saw this scene could not help but show a look of surprise.

Demiurge's Word Spirit Technique actually uses magic to force the spirit to influence the mind and then bind the body to make actions consistent with the Word Spirit.

In other words, Demiurge's move is similar to hypnosis with a forced effect.

Of course, unlike hypnosis, the target of the Word Spirit Technique has a clear self-awareness.

But this clarity is more terrifying, and it can also make the target feel the irresistible despair more clearly.

In fact, opponents whose spiritual cultivation cannot reach a certain level have no resistance to this move.

If you are really asked to commit suicide, you will really commit suicide.

It is precisely because they know the power of Demiurge's Word Spirit Technique that Momonga on the high platform and several main cadres of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are very surprised.

Because Rose's move to remove the Word Spirit Technique from Gilkenifer was quite clever.

She didn't use any special magic or skills, she just used that one slap to dispel the magic power that Demiurge spread from her.

That's right, Rose's slap was just her own power to dispel the mental fluctuations transmitted through the magic power, thus blocking the influence of Demiurge's spirit on Gilkenifer.

It also proved from the side that Rose's understanding of magic has reached a very advanced stage.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to use a means of dissolving the problem directly at the root.

"Stop, Demiurge!" Momonga's voice sounded "appropriately".

After all, even if Rose took action to remove Gilkenifer's influence, the play that should be performed still had to be performed.

"As ordered, [free movement]!" Demiurge said immediately.

Not until Demiurge finished speaking did the kneeling people stand up.

But no one dared to show any dissatisfaction, and there was only a look of fear on their faces that they tried their best to suppress.

"My subordinate was too rude. The fault is mine. I didn't discipline him well. Can you please forgive me? If you ask, I can bow my head and apologize!" Momonga said lightly.

After hearing this, no one present would think that Momonga really wanted to bow his head and apologize.

Of course, if Gilkenifer was stubborn and dared to ask for it, Momonga would definitely do it, after all, the king never jokes.

But when it was the turn of the Bahars Empire to apologize, Gilkenifer would have to pay a price that he didn't know how much.

As the emperor, Gilkenif knew this all too well.

"No need to apologize, Lord Gong. It is common for subordinates to act on their own when they misunderstand their master's intentions. The people of the empire seem to have made the same move. I am very ashamed. This is the head of the noble who sent people to invade your territory. He acted on his own and was extremely stupid. I hope you can accept it." Gilkenif cleverly seized this opportunity to lead the topic to apology.

Then Nippur, holding the jar containing the head, took two steps forward and handed the jar to Demiurge who was walking down.

"I accepted it. What should I do? It's a bit of a waste to dispose of it!" Flying Squirrel muttered as he grabbed the head from the jar.

After he finished speaking, the magic power in his body surged, and the head in his hand was covered with thick liquid and rolled out of Flying Squirrel's hand.

The next second, the thick black liquid fell and sprayed out from the floor in one breath.

After the black liquid took shape, a huge black armor stood there.

This is the Death Knight!

"How is it possible?!" Gilkenifer was incredulous when he saw this scene.

Could it be that those controlled Death Knights were also created in this way? !

At this moment, Gilkenifer was wondering how many such Death Knights Ainz Ooal Gown could create, and whether he could even create monsters above Death Knights.

However, Momonga did not give him too much time to think. After giving the order to the Death Knights to join the ranks, Momonga said, "Then, Mr. Gilkenifer Luen Farod El Nix."

"Just call me Gilkenifer!" Gilkenifer replied with a hearty smile.

"Is that so? Then Mr. Gilkenifer, because my subordinates made rude actions, the troubles brought to Nazarick by the nobles of your country have been written off. So there is no need to apologize, you can go back." Momonga said lightly.

"Ha" Gilkenifer was incredulous when he heard this.

After all, he really didn't believe that the other party let go of the previous things so easily.

Because if he were in Momonga's shoes, he would not be able to get through this matter without getting himself skinned.

"Please go back, we will be busy next! Thanks to you, I know that even if I live honestly, I will be involved in troubles. So I plan to go to the ground and solve all the troubles." Momonga's voice gradually became louder.

"What do you mean?" Gilkenifer frowned when he heard this.

"First of all, I want those who plotted against us to pay for their stupidity! Then those annoying guys, I will gradually cut off the source of trouble until I get back the silence I love so much." Momonga said coldly.

After hearing Momonga's words, Gilkenifer felt creepy.

He almost understood what the other party meant by calling him here.

Because what he said just now was almost equivalent to a declaration of war.

In other words, if nothing is done now, the empire will be enemies with the monster in front of it.

What the final outcome will be is self-evident.

So the only thing to do now is to hurry up and surrender.

"I have a suggestion. How about we form an alliance?" After realizing that he and the Empire were on the verge of life and death, Gilkenifur spoke quickly.

"It should be submission!" Before Shalltear finished speaking, she was kicked on the butt by Aura beside her.

"I'm talking to you."

When Aura was about to say something, Momonga's extremely majestic voice rang out: "Stop making so much noise, be quiet!"

Momonga waved his hand majestically, as if he had been in a dominant position for a long time in his life and naturally had such behavior.

People who didn't know his background were completely fooled by his behavior at this moment, just like Aura and Shalltear at this moment, who immediately shut up and stood obediently.

"I think it's a great thing to establish your country here and let you ascend the throne to rule. Only this position is suitable for Your Excellency Gong, and our Empire hopes to provide you with the greatest support and help you build your country. I wonder what Your Excellency Gong thinks?" Gilkenif tried to continue the previous topic with a dry mouth.

“Will this not benefit Lord Gilkenifer?” Hearing this, Momonga’s tone softened a lot from before.

"For the sake of the future, I hope that the country ruled by you and my empire can form a friendly alliance." Gilkenifer replied with a sincere attitude.

"I see, then I'll leave it to you." Momonkey answered very straightforwardly, after all, this was his goal.

After hearing this answer, Gilkenifer was quite surprised, after all, this was too different from what he expected.

And Momonkey's answer gave him a feeling that his reaction was as expected.

"Is that so? That's great. Then if you have anything you want us to do, can you tell us now?" Gilkenifer asked with all his strength.

"I can't think of it for the time being, but I hope to establish a way to get in touch with you at any time, such as arranging a place for my envoy." Momonkey replied after thinking for a while.

"Well, you are right. I am so stupid that I didn't think of this problem immediately. You are really worthy of being your Excellency Gong." Gilkenifer began to speak politely.

"Well" Momonkey responded without interest.

"Then I will go back, but I will leave the secretary behind. Can you please send someone to discuss this with him? Rone Vanmillion!" Gilkniver shouted.

"Yes! I will devote myself to the empire and accomplish my mission!" Rone Vanmillion walked to Gilkniver and knelt on one knee and said.

"Your answer is very good. I can feel your loyalty to the emperor. Then we will send Demiurge. Although he was a little offensive just now, since you don't care, let him handle it." The flying squirrel on the stage immediately spoke.

After hearing what the flying squirrel said, the corners of Gilkniver's mouth twitched slightly.

After all, Demiurge's words have a compulsory effect. The other party clearly wants to use this effect to make Rone their puppet. Maybe they want to use this to ask for detailed information inside the empire.

It's simply despicable!

"Demiurge is a confidant I deeply trust. If the two sides negotiate well, the negotiation process will surely go smoothly." Momonga ignored Gilckniver's curse in his heart and continued.

As for Momonga's move, Gilckniver could only force a smile and replied: "That's great!"

"Now that the positions of both parties have changed, Lord Jircniver is already my ally. It would be unkind to let you go back just like that. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't you stay overnight before leaving? I will entertain you in various ways."
