Zongman: Pan-dimensional sign-in system

Page 76

"Yes, yes, but, Irene, is it marked?"

Irene smiled proudly and said:

"Of course, otherwise how could this demon escape? But this also means that we are exposed to the eyes of the Undead King."

"Trust me, I guarantee you'll win"

To deal with Qi Lao Gu, the [Human Alliance], which has now completed millions of training soldiers, is enough to win or lag behind the fantasy medieval Nazarick Great Tomb.

"By the way, Irene, you also passed through the Black Rose Gate with me. Which world did you go to?"

"See for yourself"

Irene found a ball of light in the center of her palm, and in the ball of light, she saw the other world she went to from Irene's first-person perspective.

680 Great Asian Alliance, Dahan, Neon, Xiangzi, Lingzi, CAD?

Shangguan Wen immediately thought of which world Irene went to.

"Oh my god, [Anti-China Hero], Irene, are you okay? It's rumored that Xiangzi in that world has an aura of mental retardation that reduces his intelligence."

Irene rolled her eyes at Shangguan Wen in annoyance and said:

"Hmph, I also think that world, the world you're calling the [Anti-China Hero], is completely degraded and disgusting. Magic isn't good, and technology isn't good either. It feels to me like technology is regressing significantly under the guise of so-called magic. If you take over, you'll have to clean out those idiots."

Shangguan Wen frowned, feeling that his home was one where anyone could come and go as they pleased.

"You mean, the people from the [Anti-China Hero] world will also invade here through the [Black Rose] gate?"

Irene nodded, her expression growing serious. "Indeed, what I've seen and heard in the Neon world of that world gives me a bit of a headache. While that world's blend of technology and magic appears unique, their power system is actually chaotic and disorderly, and filled with prejudice and ignorance of the outside world. Especially when the [Black Rose] Gate appeared in Neon Tokyo, I witnessed with my own eyes the Neon people of that world researching how to open or stabilize the portal to our world. Clearly, they are filled with greed and a desire to conquer the unknown."

"That's normal. Neon is on Earth's ricochet, and they want to leave it all the time. They use all kinds of means to get to the mainland. If they see a resource-rich and backward alien world, they will launch an invasion. If it were me, I would do the same."

Then, Shangguan Wen looked at Alice and the others who were fighting, and decided not to hold back. He raised one hand, and the sky became overcast with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a huge magic circle appeared above the fighting undead and humans. Only Shangguan Wen could hear a cry.

"Thunder comes!"

Countless lightning bolts struck down from the sky, destroying the undead army in the blink of an eye and crushing them into powder.

For a moment, the entire battlefield was silent.

Everyone, from the Bekada Empire warriors to Alice and the others from Midgard who had come to support them, stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the scene, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. The lightning gradually faded, leaving only the lingering smell of burning in the air and the pitch-black ash covering the ground, marking the complete destruction of the undead army.

Alice slowly sheathed her lightsaber and gazed with a complex gaze at Shangguan Wen, who stood in mid-air in the distance, a faint lightning aura surrounding him. She had already learned from her sister that the man before her, Sid Kagaello, was the Shadow she had fought in the capital. He was still as powerful as ever. A mixture of admiration and caution filled Alice's heart, causing her to tighten her grip on her weapon, reminding herself that the real battle might just be beginning.

Shangguan Wen landed lightly, his steps brisk, as if the devastating thunderstorm had nothing to do with him. He walked in front of Alice, his eyes gentle yet deep:

"Alice Midgar, and everyone from the Bekada Empire, I am Shadow, the leader of Shadow Garden."

The ordinary soldiers at the bottom didn't know what Shadow Garden was, but they, the higher-ups, had more or less heard of the name Shadow Garden. They just didn't expect its leader to be so young and so powerful.

Alice stared at the other person intently, feeling that he was about to make big news.

"Sid Cagelo, what are you going to say?"

Shangguan Wen raised the corner of his mouth and said solemnly:

"Right now, our world is plagued by repeated invasions from other worlds due to the Diabolos Cult's unauthorized misuse of the Black Rose Gate, which connects to other worlds. The fact that the Kingdom of Oriana has been invaded by another world cannot be hidden from you, and I do not intend to conceal it. At this point, I will be frank. I will unify all the countries on the continent and bring them together under the name of the Human Union. I have no intention of explaining right and wrong."

Alice and the others were not stupid. They heard a full dictatorial tone. Shangguan Wen intended to use force to unify the entire continent, no matter whether the means were bloody and cruel.

Alice clenched her sword unwillingly. Shangguan Wen's power was obvious to all. Whether it was the Bekada Empire, the Midgar Kingdom or other forces, they could not resist Shangguan Wen's power at all, not to mention that there was an Irene Belserion next to him.

"Why do you do this!"

Shangguan Wen answered the other party directly:

"It's simple. Unify the continent, fight against the threat from the other world, eliminate the enemy, and defend against or invade the other world."

Alice couldn't help but ask:

"How many people are you going to kill, Sid Kagenor?"

"It depends on how well you resist. Anyway, the Magic Kingdom invading from another world can kill half of the Bekada Empire. I don't mind killing the other half of the Bekada Empire to unify the continent."

A glint of anger and despair flashed in Alice's eyes. She knew Shangguan Wen's words were not empty words. His ruthless determination was like the hardest ice on a winter's day, chilling her heart. She looked around. The faces of the Midgard knights and the surviving Bekada Empire soldiers were also filled with anxiety and resentment. However, facing Shangguan Wen's nearly unshakable power, they seemed to be succumbing to a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Kageno, you keep saying that you're fighting against the threat from another world, but do you know that true power isn't about endless killing and conquest?"

Alice's voice trembled slightly with excitement as she tried to awaken any conscience or rationality that might exist in Shangguan Wen's heart.

"Our world has endured too much pain and separation. Do you think your ambition will plunge this continent into war and despair again?"

Shangguan Wen sneered, and that smile contained both disdain for Alice's naive ideas and confidence that his plan would soon be realized.

"Alice, you're too naive. History is always written by the victors, and I will be the one writing that new history. As for your talk of unity and wisdom, that's just self-consolation for the weak. I'm not sure Bekada and Midgard were ever that good. If the undead scourge hadn't brutally and bloodily slaughtered all living things right from the start, Midgard wouldn't have intended to use the undead to eliminate the power of the Bekada Empire."

Alice was speechless. This was indeed what the top leaders in Midgard meant. If it weren't for her father who insisted on letting her lead the army to support, Midgard would still be watching the show.

Shangguan Wen continued:

"In this world where the strong are respected, only absolute power can guarantee our survival and protect us from the impending unknown threats. And I am that powerful being. I will eliminate the members of the Diabolos Cult lurking within each country and prevent them, and anyone else who refuses to submit, from holding me back!"

"To be or not to be! Choose one for yourself!"

Chapter 169: Unification of the Main World, the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Shangguan Wen's ultimatum naturally aroused strong opposition from the top leaders of Midgard and the Bekada Empire. They had been domineering for so long, so how could they allow a so-called "Human Alliance" to appear above them?

Shangguan Wen already knew the reaction of these scums and did not hold out any hope. To him, they were all feudal remnants, the only difference was how they died.

Early the next morning, under Shangguan Wen's order, Alpha led the members of [Shadow Garden] and cooperated with the army transferred back from World No. 1, and directly attacked the Kingdom of Midgar and the Bekada Empire. Anyone who resisted was killed, and the surrendered nobles had to undergo identity verification. Those who committed crimes were shot directly. The decisiveness of the killing along the way shocked the world.

The war of unification unleashed by Shangguan Wen swept across the continent like a storm. The nobles of Midgard and the Bekada Empire, believing their power and wealth could withstand this upheaval, never anticipated that Shangguan Wen, his Shadow Garden, and the army returned from World 1 (the world of Lelouch's rebellion) would wield a force far beyond their wildest dreams. The once bustling streets of the cities gave way to flames and smoke. Noble palaces fell one by one, leaving the once powerful captive or fallen in the hail of gunfire. After Midgard and the Bekada Empire, Shangguan Wen turned his attention to the subhuman races—the elves and the beastmen.

The Elven Nation, home to women like Alpha, Beta, and Epsilon, harbors no favorable impression of this nation due to its past demonic possession. After witnessing the might of the Human Alliance's army and the attacks of elves who had previously been harmed, the current Elven King was forced to compromise to avoid unnecessary sacrifice. As for the Orc Tribe, a race that values strength, they were initially hostile to Shangguan Wen's arrival. They valued combat, believing that only fists could decide everything.

However, Shangguan Wen just handed these over to Delta. Delta took the task with a smile and started a massacre against his former tribe. How he treated Delta when he was young, he was now treated doubly in the opposite way by Delta.

After several days of bloody purge, this world, which was named by Shangguan Wen as the origin of the main world, fell into Shangguan Wen's hands.

----split line----

puff!

Demiurge, covered in wounds, ran back to the world of [Bone King] in a panic. He immediately activated the teleportation magic circle he had set up and returned to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, where he met Shalltear Bloodfallen, the guardian from the first to the third floor.

"Demiurge, are you injured? I'll notify Lord Ainz and have the medical team treat you."

"Shalltear, the other world we've invaded contains a supreme being as powerful as Ainz-sama. Their light magic is especially devastating to us."

After saying this, Demiurge spat out a mouthful of blood, and the injured area emitted a sizzling smell of meat.

"Don't say that, or you'll die."

"My death is not a pity. There is a resurrection mechanism in the Great Tomb. As long as Master Ainz is willing to spend the gold coins, I can be resurrected. However, Master Ainz must know about the powerful enemy. I..."

"Wow!" Demiurge let out a mournful cry, and suddenly a light magic circle appeared at the injured part, followed by a dazzling flash of light.

Shalltear hastily cast a defensive magic array and put on defensive magic armor.

Boom! ! !

The first floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick was blown directly into the sky, the floor guardian Demiurge was killed, and Shalltear was seriously injured!

This sudden change plunged the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick into unprecedented chaos.

After the light faded and the dust settled, the ceiling of the first floor shattered, revealing the chaotic and distant void outside. The sunlight - a light that should not appear in this underground world, now shone in blindingly, illuminating the mess on the ground.

Shalltear struggled to get up from the ruins. Her armor was damaged in many places and her body was covered with scars, but her red eyes burned with unprecedented anger and shock.

She quickly looked around. Demiurge was nowhere to be seen. All that was left was a huge crater completely destroyed by light magic, and the smell of burning and ominous silence filled the air.

"How is this possible... Demiurge, and that power..."

Shalltear muttered to herself, then realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly contacted Lord Ainz Ooal Gown through internal communication magic.

"Ainz-sama! Emergency report! Demiurge was suddenly attacked by an unknown light magic attack after returning with important information. The first floor has been severely damaged, and it seems Demiurge has been... destroyed! The opponent's power is beyond imagination. Requesting an emergency meeting immediately!"

Meanwhile, Ainz Ooal Gown was immersed in his study, immersed in the study of ancient texts. Upon hearing Shalltear's urgent report, his expression darkened. He realized that this wasn't just a matter of life and death for one Guardian, but the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"Understood, Shalltear. Stay alert. I'll be there immediately."

Ainz's voice was calm and firm. He then activated the teleportation magic circle in his room and instantly disappeared from the study, teleporting directly to the first floor.

When Ainz and the other Great Tomb Guardians arrived at the scene, they were met with a devastated scene and Shalltear, battered and wounded, still standing guard. He didn't immediately inquire for details. Instead, he activated the Great Tomb of Nazarick's self-repair mechanism and summoned a medical team to treat Shalltear.

"Tell me, Shalltear, the details."

Ainz's voice was deep, revealing undeniable authority.

Shalltear reported to Ainz in detail the information brought back by Demiurge and the subsequent changes.

After hearing this, Ainz fell into deep thought. His worst-case scenario had indeed come true: a powerful being in another world truly existed. If that being truly possessed power that rivaled or even surpassed his own, then the Great Tomb of Nazarick would face an unprecedented challenge. "It seems the time has come to demonstrate our true strength."

A hint of determination flashed in Ainz's eyes. He looked at Albedo, the succubus chief, and said:

"Albedo, prepare to summon all Guardians and all available forces. We must strike back against the invaders from another world and protect our territory at all costs."

“Yes, Lord Ainz.”

Following Ainz's orders, the Great Tomb of Nazarick began to stir. Guardians of all ranks and elite troops hidden within were awakened, ready to launch their armies into the otherworldly slaughter.

Chapter 170: Response to the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Ainz spent a large amount of gold coins to perform the resurrection ceremony of Demiurge. He had resurrected Shalltear when he conquered the world, but this time it was Demiurge's turn.

Now that war has broken out and they have encountered an equally powerful opponent, Demiurge's wisdom is what the Great Tomb needs, and he must personally recount the battle with Irene.

With the completion of the resurrection ceremony, the huge amount of gold coins used as equivalent exchange disappeared, and Demiurge was resurrected once again.

After being resurrected, Demiurge immediately touched the injured part that killed him. The pain from the explosion there still hurt even after being resurrected.

Ainz felt a deep sense of relief when he saw Demiurge resurrected; his worst-case scenario hadn't come to pass.

"Are you feeling better, Demiurge?"

Demiurge knelt down hastily and said:

"Thank you, Ainz-sama, for saving my life. This servant..."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me about the enemies you encountered who were as powerful as me."

“Yes, Lord Ainz.”

Demiurge repeated his battle experience and added:

"Ainz-sama, colleagues, I believe that red-haired woman is a dragon. I smell the same scent as Sebastian."

It's easier to deal with if you know what type of enemy it is.

"Dragon seed! The thing Nazarick has the most of is weapons to fight against dragon seed!"

A cold glint flashed in Ainz's eyes. He slowly stood up and cast a spell, causing a huge bookshelf to appear. It contained a variety of ancient books and scrolls, including detailed information on dragons.

The Platinum Dragon King, the Seven-Colored Dragon King, and so on in this world, either died or surrendered, and the dragon species from the other world was no exception.

"Demiurge, your observation is crucial. Now that we've confirmed they're dragons, we have a targeted strategy to counter them."

He pulled out a roll of yellowed parchment from the bookshelf and gently unfolded it. On it were drawn complex magic circles and ancient runes.

"This is the Dragon Slayer Magic Scroll I recently developed. Although it has harsh conditions for use, it is extremely effective against dragon species. In addition, there are special equipment such as the Dragon Scale Stripper that can weaken the defenses of dragon species."

Upon hearing this, Demiurge's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. He knew that Lord Ainz never ceased his pursuit of knowledge and power. Especially after battling the dragons of this world, he was also worried about encountering dragons from another world. He had never thought that he would need them now. He had carefully collected and managed every resource in the Great Tomb.

"Ainz-sama, your wisdom and preparation are undoubtedly the key to our victory. So, what should we do next?"

"First, there is the Terrorist Prince"

The two named class guardians waited respectfully for orders.

"I need you to lead your troops and re-enter the other world to conduct a covert investigation. In order to avoid being discovered, I will once again send out the undead army to attack as a feint to provide cover for you."

The Terror Prince made a whistling sound through his nostrils and said:

"As you command, Lord Ainz."

"Also, I have decided to send Gilkenifrun Farod El as a negotiating representative to force the other world to submit to the Sorcerous Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this name, all the class guardians present frowned. This guy was formerly the emperor of the Baharus Empire. Although Baharus no longer existed, it did not mean that he was absolutely loyal to Lord Ainz. He could only be said to be an example of a man who knew the times and was a hero.

Lana, the former third princess of the Liye Kingdom, who had now become a little devil through the Seed of Corruption, directly stood up and objected:

"Lord Ainz, I oppose that yellow-haired man leading the charge to persuade the Sorcerous Kingdom to surrender. He is also a strong suspect in the escape of my old friend, Lagis-Elbein-Dru-Aindora. I fear he will become a traitor, colluding with the enemy."
