Chapter 15 - Invasion incoming

While thinking about the timeline i start to search for Shalltear. I start to use my powers and search the whole continent in an instant.

'Found you'

I can see Shalltear with a hollow gaze standing alone in the middle of the forest

'Now... where are the people who made her like that?'

I starts to use my divine sense and easly find them running for their lives after fighting Shalltear.

They where about to rest after running the entire day when i appeared in front of them

"Hello, im here for that World item, if you give it to me i can spare you... Although i dont think you have much to live, as you have angered Ainz" I said to the people who adopted a finghting stance

"How dare you to try to rob our divine item! You sinner!" A swordman who is most lileky their leader shouts at me

"Look man, i literaly appeared out of nowhere... do you really think i only have a teleportation skill?" I sigh at those fanatics

"Silence! God will give us power to erradicate all sinners! Pray with me!" He says to the people on his team and starts to pray... in front of me

'... ... ... so they really started praying just in front of an enemy? Lets see if they are stupid or something is protecting them' I made a Tier 5 Fireball and throw it at them

Just when the fireball was about to hit them a holy shield appears and block it

'Divine energy? So some random god is really giving the power and its not all bullshit?' I thought with a raised brow

"Now sinner, repent in death!" The leader shouts while charing at me. His companions on the back casting diferent spells

Lighting, fire, ice, almost every element is throw at me at the same time

Many sacred arrows or something like that is shot from some shiny bows

And the leader swordman fire some holy sword slashes to me

'... This really looks like im the villain here... Wait! Im really are the villain here! im just robbing some people who are running to their home... Well fuck it, Ainz is gonna kill them later so im just gonna let him do that' I snap my fingers and the world item dress appear in my hands

All the proyectiles and spells just dissapear in front of my like they are blocked my a invisible wall

"What..." The swordmane lears is in shock after seeing this

He then become terrified after seeing the dress in my hands

"Give it back! You are not qualified to touch the sacred item of god!" He goes mad and charges at me like he is on drugs

"Well then, i have what i wanted so... goodbye, expect a angry god of death to come to kill you all!" I suddendly dissapear after saying that and the swordman hit nothing but the air

"How.... " The leader is pale after wasting that much holy energy... he also is mortified about the lost of a sacred item

"We need to report this! If what he said its true then the master of that vampire from before is going to find us! We must be prepared for that!" The leaders say after regaining his calm

...

In a random spot in a forest... or what seems to be a desert now

In the middle of a crater filled with sand an calm Ainz can be seen

In front of his Shalltear is starting to dissapear after being defeated by him

I suddendly appear in front Ainz, who is startled and then relax after seeing its you

"So... im late?" I said after seeing the Shalltear particles fading

"Yes, my friend you are late... i killed one of my..." Ainz sighs without ending the sentence

"Dont worry, you can just revive her using the gold of Nazarick" I said to him without much care of the dead shalltear

"Really? So it really work in this world as well? ... Thats good" Ainz gives a relieved sighs after that... then he gets angry

"Im going to find whoever did this and make him pay!" A very angry Ainz says and the his emotions get repressed

"Dont worry, i know who they are... i even stole this from the" You show him the World item dress

"Thats...? wait, could it be... a world item?!" Ainz is very shocked after seeing the dress

"Yup, this thing can completly mind control anything and bypass inmunities. I just found the group running from this place while i was coming"

"You know who they are? Are they players? gods? I dont think normal people can have world items. Its must be a very great scheme to target Shalltear and use her. I must return to Nazarick and prepare defenses!" A overly cautious AInz says...

Im left spechless at his over cautious... no this is beyond that, he is being paranoic right now

"Ainz... its not like i want to kill your enthusiasm but... this was just a big coincidence... i read some of the memories of that people and... they were at this place by coincidence when shalltear attacked them... then they used the world item but the only has half-success as Shalltear killed the caster... so she was like that and not completly controlled..."

"So... you are saying that... its just bad luck that Shalltear was targeted?" Ainz asked slowly, trying to process the whole thing

"Yes... a very cute coincidence.... in fact that people are not overly powerful, well, for you atleast. They are the top power in this world but i think the best of them is only at lvl 80 or so" I answers to a still confused Ainz

"haha...HAHAHAHAHAHA-" Ainz started to laugh when it gets interrumped by a green hue covering him. Now he looks calm

"So, this is all a coincidence and those people are that weak?" Now AInz is starting to get angry. After all some weak people almost stole Shalltear from him, from Nazarick

"Yeah, they are the Black Scripture of the Slane Theocracy, i spoke to them a little and they are crazy fanatics."

"Slane Theocracy... huh? I was going to start conquering the empire... but things cant always go as one wish"

"They dare to attack the people of Nazarick... even to the point of using world item on them... they deserve to play. Lets start whit them instead of the empire" Ainz shifted his target to the theocracy, making me pray for them for 1 second

...

In the round table of the Slane Theocracy, the six Cardinals are seated and listening to the report of the leader of the Black scripture

"Are you saying that a monster who could kill all of you is merely the servant of someone? That so called god of death... We need to make countermeasures for a possible attack" 1st cardinal

"Are you sure this intel is reliable? Its imposible for such a monster to exist without being noticed" 2nd candinal

"I agree with 1st, we need to be ready for anything" 3rd give gaze to the 2nd

"Agree" 4th

"Agree" 5th

"Agree" 6th

The second candinal doesnt look very pleased by this, but the vote was approved by the other five so he cant do anything about it

"I also suspect that the Sacred item of god is being held by that god of death at this very moment, so we need to give our best to retrieve it" 1st cardinal says

...

Nazarick, the treasure room

A giant pile of gold coins starts to melt and form a body

A naked shalltear appears from the melted coins

Ainz finally gives a sigh of relief after seeing her alive and well

A confuses Shalltear looks around, now knowing where she is. Its seems that she doesnt remember anything before the mind control

"Hey Ainz, do you want for me to give her the memories of being mind controlled? I think she can make some improvement if she remembers her failure"

Ainz give me a gaze and the nods

"Hey little Shalltear, look here" I said to her

"Little what?!" A angry shalltear looks at me for a moment then goes silent with a dull look for like 3 seconds

"I-i-i-i.... What have i done?! I fought Ainz sama! Waaaaah! *sob* i Must attone for my sins with death!" before she tries anything Ainz stops her

"Shalltear, do you really want to die after making me waste many resources ressurecting you? You must overcome this failure and become stronger! Do you want to attone for your sins? become stronger and contribute to Nazarick!" A very serious Ainz says with his deep overlord voice, making Shalltear look at him and start crying

I was gazing at this touching moment... if it werent for how weird it looks... just imagine a little girl trying to hug a 2.5 metters giants skeleton while crying

When everything ended and the guardians left the treasure room Ainz looks at me

"Thanks for that, now she can overcome this and become a better person. Also thanks for the intel of who did this"

"Sure, just let me watch as you do the invasion thing, its gonna be pretty interesting" I say with a smile

"Of course, you are a greater contributor to this" Ainz answers with a little laugh
