OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

In the Slane Theocracy, as Peroroncino and Shalltear entered the city, a merchant dressed in extravagant clothes approached Peroroncino.

"Lord Peroroncino, I am an informant under Lord Albedo's command, and I welcome your arrival."

"How did you know I was here?"

"It was Lord Albedo who informed me. I apologize for monitoring your movements, but it was for the safety of the Supreme One."

"It's fine!" Peroroncino waved his hand, indicating that he understood. In case of danger, he didn't have to inform anyone himself—there would be someone to come to his rescue.

Peroroncino and Shalltear had come to the Slane Theocracy for the first time, so safety was their top priority.

Shalltear is able to use top-level teleportation magic, so common methods of teleportation restriction cannot limit her portals.

"Then you're in charge of gathering intelligence. Have you investigated the members of the Black Scripture of the Slane Theocracy?" Peroroncino asked.

"Lord Peroroncino, Lord Albedo's order was to investigate some peripheral intelligence. Important intelligence like this regarding the Slane Theocracy isn't something I can easily find out," the merchant replied.

"You should not have been a member of the Great Tomb of Nazarick from the beginning, right?" Peroroncino asked.

"Lord, that is correct. I joined Nazarick later on," the merchant answered.

"Then you're of no use to me. Go do whatever you need to do!" Peroroncino waved his hand, signaling the merchant to leave.

However, the merchant didn't leave and instead looked embarrassed.

"Can't you understand my words?" Peroroncino didn't want to give any favor to someone who wasn't a core member of Nazarick.

Hearing this, the merchant immediately kneeled down.

"My lord, please forgive me. It was Lord Albedo who instructed me to come and meet you, and I was told to follow you first."

"Shalltear!" Peroroncino turned to Shalltear, who was standing nearby. She was dressed in very simple clothes, looking like an ordinary human girl.

Shalltear walked up to the merchant.

"Look into my eyes!"

The merchant was immediately charmed by Shalltear.

"Why do you want to follow us?" Shalltear asked.

"Lord Albedo instructed me to use any means necessary to ensure that you don't leave this place for the time being."

Hearing this, Peroroncino fell into deep thought.

"Albedo shouldn't have any reason to look for me. Her setting is that she loves Momonga, so if she wanted to find the Supreme Being, she'd look for Momonga. And she said to use any means..."

"This doesn't feel right, it's too strange."

"Peroroncino-sama, could it be that Albedo has betrayed us?" Shalltear asked.

"It shouldn't be the case. Shalltear carries a world-class item, and she's been in E-Rantel recently, not going anywhere else."

Peroroncino thought for a moment and then spoke:

"Shalltear, ask him if he's ever seen Albedo?"

"Have you ever seen Albedo?" Shalltear asked the person.

"I haven't seen her. I've only heard her voice."

"Then the Albedo he's talking about must not be the same one we're talking about," Peroroncino said, as if coming to a conclusion.

Peroroncino intended to contact Momonga, but...

"Beep beep beep..."

"This sound is... the sound that occurs when the connection cannot be established."

"Shalltear, you try to contact Momonga," Peroroncino hurriedly said to Shalltear.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Open a portal!" Peroroncino continued to shout.

"Portal!" Shalltear raised her hand and cast the portal skill.

But nothing happened.

"Full gear!"

Peroroncino immediately transformed back into his larger form, the winged humanoid carrying the Hou Yi bow.

Shalltear also transformed into her ultimate form, holding the dripping spear as a Valkyrie.

The surrounding humans were shocked and immediately began to scatter in panic at the sight of Peroroncino and Shalltear moving quickly.

"Follow me!"

Peroroncino flew into the air.

"Starburst Arrow!"

An arrow shot towards the center of the city.

Boom! The entire city erupted in a violent explosion, countless humans perished.

Peroroncino felt no disturbance inside.

For his own safety, he had no qualms about killing as many people as necessary. Helping humanity was possible under the right conditions, but if it endangered his safety, Peroroncino would become a ruthless executioner without hesitation.

A city was effortlessly destroyed.

"Beep beep beep..."

Peroroncino tried again, still unable to use .

"Tch, is there a device blocking Message in the city?"

"Shalltear, take out the World-Class Item, the Banner of Myriad Demons and Ghosts. Use it in battle when the time comes. A World-Class Item can easily destroy other items. Do not use special skills unless I give the command. Even if it costs your life, do not use them," Perorocino said.

"Yes! I will protect you with my life, Master," Shalltear replied with utmost seriousness.

Shalltear put away her drip lance and took out the Banner of Myriad Demons and Ghosts.

At that moment, the sky was covered in dark clouds, as though trying to block all light. Black mist continuously spread out from the clouds.

Peroroncino knew that this was a special move targeting him.

The 10th Magic—.

"Daylight Domain!" Peroroncino shot a beam of light from his left hand, piercing through the mist.

The energy body formed of light gathered together, emitting a massive energy wave, and the black mist in the sky was instantly dispersed. The white light illuminated the entire sky.

"As expected of the Supreme, your vigilance is extraordinary!" Albedo emerged from the black mist and spoke.

"Albedo, what do you want to do!" Shalltear snarled, glaring at Albedo.

"Of course, I want to kill him!" Albedo pointed at Peroroncino.

"I will kill you!" Shalltear angrily charged at Albedo.

"Stop! Don't go!" Peroroncino immediately shouted.

Shalltear stopped in her tracks upon hearing Peroroncino's command.

"What's the reason?"

"Are you asking on purpose?" Albedo had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Killing the Supreme was better done quickly; she didn't want to waste any time.

...

E-Rantel

Demiurge arrived at the place where Albedo often worked.

Demiurge knocked on the door, but after a long wait, there was no response. He pushed the door open.

Albedo was not inside.

"Strange, if she's not here, where could she be?"

Demiurge went outside and asked the nearby maid on standby.

"Lord Demiurge, Lady Albedo has already arranged everything. She said she's been very tired lately and needs to rest, and it was Lord Ainz who asked her to do so."

"I see! Do you know where Albedo is resting now?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know, sir."

＜Message＞

"Beep beep beep..."

Demiurge was a little curious about where Albedo was resting, but it was only out of curiosity. After all, it was Lord Ainz who had instructed Albedo to rest. Though he really wanted to say that she didn't deserve rest, it was Lord Ainz's command. Following it was the correct choice.
