Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Reality is not like a game, where you can learn from your mistakes and start over again after death.

The NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick can be resurrected by spending gold coins, but what about me?

I have lost the characteristics of the Fourth Calamity, and once I am destroyed, I will really die.

Although I will definitely not be defeated so easily, I only have one life now, and Momonga cannot ignore these things.

It is precisely because of concerns and interests that Momonga does not allow Albedo and Shalltear to be so impulsive.

"Albedo, Shalltear, the other party is sure that we will not turn against each other for an insignificant person at this moment, because she has seen through the core purpose of my plan this time, which is to use the Empire to gain a reputation for justice.

Lord Ainz, this woman needs to be highly vigilant. Not only is she quite sensitive, but she is also decisive. She killed Fruda based on suspicion alone. Such an opponent is a bit troublesome.

In addition, the intelligence we got before showed that she had only joined the Empire for more than half a year. And basically appeared in the Baharus Empire suddenly, and then entered the emperor's sight through a conflict with the Four Knights, which is a bit unusual.

You know, the time when she appeared in the Baharus Empire was only a few days later than the time when we came to this world, so I suspect that some forces in this world may have noticed our arrival and are making advance arrangements against us." Demiurge said.

"Demiurge, if the other party is targeting us, why don't they stop the Baharus Empire from lending us a reputation for justice?" Aura, who also wanted to kill Rose but had not had time to speak, looked at Demiurge and asked puzzledly.

"It's very simple, because that woman wants us to come to the front from behind the scenes." Albedo hit the nail on the head.

"Indeed, because only when we come to the front, the whole world will know that we are here. The forces behind her can observe us, understand us, and decide how to treat us.

This is why she didn't stop it before, but immediately executed Fluda after achieving her goal. After all, Fluda is a chess piece for us to take the lead in her eyes, and she wants to use this chess piece to find out what our purpose is.

After figuring out that Demiurge's plan was for the sake of justice, she took advantage of it. After all, even if Lord Ainz had seen it, it would not be a loss for her and the forces behind her, but would give them a better opportunity to observe us." The insect king Cocytus nodded and added.

"More than that, there may be a deeper reason. But I think it is because Lord Ainz has seen through the other party's purpose that he stopped Albedo and Shalltear's impulse." Demiurge added immediately.

"As expected of Demiurge, you can see through the other party's deep reasoning. Please tell everyone on my behalf." Momonga is now almost accustomed to praising first, and then letting others explain things that he himself does not understand.

"As you command, Ainz-sama. The deeper reason is probably that they don't want the Bahars Empire to be our priority target. After all, if my plan is blocked in the Bahars Empire, they will definitely turn to the Kingdom of Re-Estize, and then it will be the Bahars Empire that will be invaded.

On the other hand, the Bahars Empire seems to be at a disadvantage now, but they are just lending us a righteous name. Not only will we not lose territory in the future, but after we have the reputation of an alliance with us, as long as they don't betray us, we can't take action against our allies before we have an absolute advantage.

In addition, I read Rose's hidden ambitions from her words, especially when Ainz-sama made the invitation, her eyes seemed to be moved, but she was dissuaded by Albedo, Shalltear's eyes.

Therefore, I guess she may have the idea of ​​taking over the Bahars Empire, and then she will be with us. If we maintain the relationship, she will be our ally. When the relationship cannot be maintained, she can bring the Baharu Empire to us, and she can also obtain an equal status with her merits.

This is a higher status than simply accepting the invitation of Lord Ainz. That's why she killed Fluda without hesitation, in order to declare that the Baharu Empire belongs to her sphere of influence.

Don't forget, no matter how much she protects the emperor of the Baharu Empire, people can't ignore the fact that she is not an inferior human, so Lord Ainz judged that she has a certain chance of becoming our ally.

For a inferior human who has lost his previous strategic value even if he is resurrected, it is not a wise move for the Great Tomb of Nazarick to deal with a possible ally. "

After listening to Dihua's analysis, the eyes of Albedo, Shalltear and Aura became more dangerous.

"I didn't expect this woman to be so scheming." Aura compared it and found that she was too naive.

"Lord Ainz, I think we need to investigate this woman more carefully. After all, she may become our ally, but she may also become our enemy." Albedo said cautiously.

"Lord Ainz, I agree with Albedo. We must investigate this woman in detail. I will apply to be in charge of this investigation." Shalltear immediately followed up.

In fact, she was more anxious than Albedo. After all, in addition to her appearance and strength, Rose completely crushed her in height and figure.

"I understand, but Sebastian will be in charge of the investigation." Although Momonga was a little confused at the moment, he still responded quickly.

He didn't dare to agree to let Shalltear go. Although he hadn't experienced a woman fighting for him, he had seen two women fighting for something in the workplace.

If Shalltear really had to investigate Rose, they would probably have to fight.

Another man investigating a woman is often more objective than a woman investigating a woman.

When the conversation between the thrones was about to end, Rose and Gilkenifer were still talking in the carriage leaving the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"Sir Rose, how do you think the future of the empire should go?" Although Gilkenifer asked this question, what he was most concerned about at the moment was Rose's attitude towards him and the Bahars Empire.

In fact, Gilkenifer's mood was very complicated at the moment. On the one hand, Rose was a strong person at the mythical level, which was very important to the Bahars Empire, especially after Fluda was killed by Rose.

In addition, Rose had saved his face twice before, which prevented this trip to hell from being too passive, so Gilkenifer was somewhat grateful to Rose.

But Rose's unauthorized killing of Fluda also made him somewhat dissatisfied. After all, even if Fluda betrayed him, he should at least inform him before killing the relative who raised him, instead of testing him after killing him.

Rose's strong approach made Gilkenifer feel a sense of crisis, so after officially embarking on the journey home, he couldn't wait to speak and test.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Rose did not give an answer, but asked Gilkenifer back.

"I think" Gilkenifer was not surprised to hear this, but said the words in the anime.

The content is simply that after the outside world realized the danger of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and spontaneously formed a great alliance against Ainz Ooal Gown, the Baharus Empire acted as an internal response.

Before the formation of the great alliance against Ainz Ooal Gown, he mainly focused on bribing the group of cadres standing on the high platform between the thrones.

"If your majesty really acts like this, then the Baharus Empire will not be far from destruction." Rose shook her head directly.

"Why?" Gilkenif asked puzzledly.

"It's very simple, because your mind has been seen through by Demiurge long before. That is a demon who can see through people's hearts. In front of him, only two types of people can avoid the possibility of being seen through.

The first type is the strength equal to his, and his spirit cannot read the opponent's thinking, just like me. The other type is a pure idiot, because even the most powerful wise man can't think of what the opponent will do next.

But your majesty is obviously not an idiot, but very smart. It is precisely because of this that you will definitely be easily seen through. The demon can easily judge how you think and what your purpose is based on your actions."

After listening to Rose's words, Gilkenif's forehead was sweating.

He did not doubt that Rose's words were meant to intimidate him. After all, when they were talking on the throne, he had a feeling of being seen through.

"In addition, bribery is doomed to fail." Rose once again rejected his other proposal at this time.

"Why?" Gilkenif asked puzzledly.

Gilkenif could accept that the insider was seen through, but it was a little unacceptable that bribery was doomed to fail.

"It's not your fault. After all, your strength is too far behind. So even if I tell you some explanations, you will find it difficult to understand. You just need to remember that those guys will never betray Ainz Ooal Gown.

As for whether you want to believe what I said, it depends on you. Anyway, I have reminded you of everything I can remind you, and this is just a reference idea. You have to weigh the specific operation yourself."

The loyalty of the members of the Great Tomb of Nazarick involves the World Tree system, and Rose does not need to explain too much to an unrelated native.

"Then, won't we be able to do anything?" Gilkenif looked at Rose and asked.

"It's not like there's nothing we can do. If it's not based on the intention of provoking or instigating, and it's just to build a good relationship, you can still use bribery, but the purpose of this bribery is to get the other party to say something good for you in the future." Rose thought for a while and said.

"Sir Rose, I don't quite understand what you mean by this." Gilkenif frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what would happen if the Great Alliance you mentioned couldn't defeat Ainz Ooal Gown and his Great Tomb of Nazarick?" Rose asked Gilkenif.

"Will there be such a day? If there is, then mankind should be extinct." Gilkenif was stunned for a moment and then replied.

"To be precise, the human regime will be defeated, civilization will be destroyed, and then mankind will become slaves or even food raised by alien races, thus falling into the darkest era in human history." Rose replied lightly.

"This is really a terrible future." Gilkenif said with a very ugly face after listening to Rose's narration.

Because at this moment he really had a bad premonition that this result would become a reality.

"Before the final victory or defeat, this possibility exists, and there is also the possibility that Ainz Ooal Gown will be defeated. It is still unknown which possibility is higher.

But Your Majesty cannot only consider the possibility that the Grand Alliance will defeat the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but also the possibility that the Grand Alliance will fail. Because when the result really reaches the worst, Your Majesty will need to stand up." Rose analyzed slowly.

"I stand up?" Gilkniver began to savor Rose's words at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, Gilkniver's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"It seems that Your Majesty has figured it out." Rose said with a smile after seeing Gilkniver's expression.

"I would rather not figure it out." Gilkniver sighed.

Because after figuring it out, Gilkniver found that because of his stupidity, the future of the Baharus Empire will only face two situations.

The first is that the Grand Alliance wins, and then destroys the Baharus Empire, a treacherous regime, and then his reputation will be infamous for thousands of years.

The second is that the Grand Alliance fails, and the only human regime left is the Baharus Empire. At that time, as a subsidiary of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, it will also be regarded as a traitor by many humans.

When the day comes when humans rise again, their reputation will still be infamous for thousands of years.

After all, no one will recognize a human regime that surrenders to a foreign race, even if this regime retains the fire of humanity and survives the era of decline.

But when the new regime is established, the past history will inevitably be covered up. Who says this is politically correct?

The above two situations are based on the fact that they are not internal accomplices and devote themselves wholeheartedly to their ally Ainz Ooal Gown.

In this situation, if the Human Alliance wins, there is nothing to say, just consider it bad luck.

If the Human Alliance fails, Gilkenifer needs to ensure the continuation of humanity when the only human regime is the Baharus Empire.

This is what Rose said about standing up and sacrificing her reputation for the future of mankind.

In this way, no matter who wins or loses in the future battle, there will be a glimmer of hope for mankind.

After all, being a slave or a captive food of a foreign race is completely different from being a subordinate regime of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Even if the latter is just an inferior race, it is much better than slaves and captive food.
