OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

After the Quagoa fled, Momonga and the others approached from a distance, as Peroroncino needed experience.

Momonga and the others did not get close to the battlefield. It was all Peroroncino fighting alone and slaughtering the enemy.

Just when the Dwarf Kingdom thought it was over, they saw Momonga, a terrifying Undead Archmage.

"The battle isn't over yet, get ready!" the Dwarf General shouted loudly.

The dwarves stood in formation, gripping their weapons tightly and watching Momonga flying towards them from the distance.

At this moment, the dwarves also noticed Gondo. He stepped forward and explained the situation.

Only then did the Dwarf General invite Peroroncino and Momonga into the city.

After bidding farewell to Momonga and Peroroncino, Gondo immediately ran towards his home. He was eager to begin crafting Runecraft weapons.

The Dwarf General ushered Momonga and the others into a meeting room.

"Your Majesty the Sorcerer King, and Lord Peroroncino, please wait a moment while we discuss a few matters."

"Mm, okay!"

"It's a bit boring waiting. I'll go see Gondo making the Runecraft weapons."

"Alright!"

The Dwarf General left and went to another meeting room, where the room was filled with dwarves. They had also heard about Momonga's arrival and had rushed to the meeting room before the Dwarf General.

"So, what do you all think about the alliance between the Sorcerer King and the Dwarf Kingdom?"

"No! We absolutely cannot cooperate with the Undead. They despise the living, and who knows, they might destroy us one day."

"But they possess tremendous power. Just now, I saw one of them single-handedly repel the Quagoa army that had us completely cornered.

If we refuse them..."

Everyone fell silent.

"Why does the Sorcerer King want to cooperate with the Dwarf Kingdom?"

"It's because of the Runecraft. The Sorcerer King wishes to revive the glorious age of the Runecraft era."

"Just now, His Majesty the Sorcerer King said that if we agree to let them take the Runesmiths, the Sorcerer Kingdom will help us defeat the Quagoa and reclaim the former royal capital that was once taken by the Frost Dragon," the Dwarf General explained.

Many dwarves looked at the Dwarf General with incredulous eyes. Reclaiming the former royal capital was an incredibly tempting offer for the dwarves.

"I agree to cooperate with His Majesty the Sorcerer King."

"I agree as well!"

"Same here!"

"Cooperating with the Undead is very dangerous. I oppose it."

"But if His Majesty the Sorcerer King hadn't appeared to help us repel the Quagoa, we would have likely lost the city."

"If we refuse the cooperation, it will be difficult to defeat the Quagoa next time."

Upon hearing the Dwarf General's words, those who had been shouting in opposition fell silent. If they did not cooperate with the Sorcerer King, their kingdom might be destroyed at any moment, whereas cooperation didn't guarantee the fall of their kingdom.

The choice between the two was clear.

Soon after, they invited Momonga, who asked a few questions and made some requests, and they reached an agreement to cooperate.

At this moment, Peroroncino and Shalltear arrived at Gondo's house.

Now that Gondo had awakened his talent, he eagerly began crafting Runecraft weapons. He could completely memorize the books left behind by his ancestors.

Thanks to the skill "Inheritance," he had acquired his grandfather's experience.

With his awakened skills, he was now able to craft Runecraft weapons with ease.

After an hour of effort, Gondo accomplished something that only his grandfather had been able to do—engraving six Rune symbols on the weapon.

"I did it! I did it!" Gondo shouted excitedly, raising the weapon engraved with six Rune symbols.

Peroroncino remained silent, observing Gondo as he crafted the Runecraft weapon.

Peroroncino was also curious about how the Runecraft weapon was made. Of course, it would be even better if he could learn how to do it himself.

After watching, Peroroncino came to a conclusion—he couldn't do it. The process of making Runecraft weapons required an incredibly high level of attention to detail. A small mistake would result in a wasted weapon.

"Thank you, Lord Peroroncino. You are like my reborn parents," Gondo said, bowing repeatedly to Peroroncino.

"Stop, stop. I don't have the habit of being a father," Peroroncino replied. "As I said before, there was some risk involved. Being able to successfully craft a Runecraft weapon is your own effort."

Gondo looked at Peroroncino, and tears couldn't stop flowing down his face.

"I, Gondo, will do my best to serve the Sorcerer Kingdom wholeheartedly."

"By now, Momonga should have returned," Peroroncino said.

Just then, Momonga arrived.

"The dwarves agreed to the cooperation."

"So, does that mean the kingdom has abandoned the Runesmiths?" Gondo sighed and returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, Lord Peroroncino, I will go find other Runesmiths right away."

Gondo, holding the weapon with six Rune symbols enchanted on it, smiled like a child who had just received christmas present, excitedly running out.

At that moment, Momonga felt a message coming in—it was from Demiurge.

Not long ago, Demiurge had contacted Momonga to discuss future plans and report on some matters, requesting to meet in person.

As a good boss, Momonga agreed to Demiurge's request.

At that moment, Demiurge had already arrived at the Dwarven Kingdom and was waiting in the room that Momonga had previously used. After all, there were some things that the dwarves shouldn't hear.

Momonga, accompanied by Peroroncino, teleported to the room where Demiurge was.

"Lord Ainz, Lord Peroroncino," Demiurge greeted as he saw them, bowing respectfully.

"No need for formalities. Please, sit down," Momonga said.

"Yes, my lord," Demiurge replied, sitting down after seeing that Peroroncino and Momonga had taken their seats.

Demiurge then reported on his work. Naturally, he received verbal praise from Momonga.

"Lord Ainz, you made the empire willing to submit in just three days. It's truly incredible. I wonder how far into the future you have predicted?"

I predicted three days, which is already an extraordinary result. The empire's situation was just a coincidence! Momonga roared inwardly.

But in order to be a competent ruler, such things cannot be said.

"I remember there was a guild that used to frequently speculate on what the game developers would do in the future. What was it called again?"

"Ten thousand years... "

Momonga accidentally spoke out loud.

"That's amazing! Truly, it's incredible! You even predicted plans for ten thousand years from now. My intellect doesn't even come close to one-thousandth of yours."

"You are like the dazzling sun, and I am like a star that only emits faint light, relying on the radiance you emit, barely shining..."

"Actually..."

"It is my honor to serve such a powerful supreme being like you."

Momonga wanted to interrupt him, but cutting off Demiurge and revealing the truth would affect his perfect gentleman image.

After Demiurge's three-minute-long praise, during which not a single word was repeated, he finally stopped. Meanwhile, Peroroncino could only silently think to himself, "Impressive!"

Demiurge then bid farewell to the two rulers.

Peroroncino couldn't shake the feeling that Demiurge was up to something. Previously, Demiurge had done some things in the royal capital without mentioning them in his reports.

After all this time, the fact that Demiurge hadn't done anything yet seemed a bit unusual.

After Demiurge left, Peroroncino teased, "Ainz-sama is really amazing! You managed to predict things to ten thousand years in advance! My admiration for you is like the endless, flowing river..."

"Ainz-sama, stop mocking me. You know me, there's no way I could predict something that far ahead. I can't even predict what will happen tomorrow."

"But Demiurge believes it. Soon, it will probably spread to the other Guardians. What are you going to do?"

"We'll take it one step at a time! As their ruler, I still need to maintain a perfect image."

"If you're tired, I can act as the Sorcerer King for you. My Universal Humanoid Transformation can already transform into anyone's appearance. It's not impossible for me to replace you."

"Then you'd be working too hard."

"Well then, let's go take back the Dwarf capital!"

"Okay!"
