What?

I was walking past the conference room as I realized that I was late. I had promised to meet Momonga before the final moments of the game. Of course he did not know that this Nazarick would not truly disappear and this would simply be a new beginning in a new world. When it comes to new worlds, I can already be considered a veteran. This would after all be my second trip to a brand new world. I checked the timer on my status screen which showed:

[00:04]

The transmigration had already occurred. I truly did not feel any difference like Momonga had as YGGDRASIL was already a living and breathing world for me. I had already abused my administrator skill to gather items and supplies. These were just some of the minor preparations I had made for my eventual travel to the new world. After all, I was an anomaly. Even though Nazarick truly overpowered the new world, I could not guarantee things would remain the same. What if Potimas or someone else suddenly appeared in the new world. So, I could not rely on my foreknowledge of the plot and instead only use it as a reference.

Anyway, I don't plan on doing much. Let Momonga handle all the annoying stuff while I laze around like the shut in that I am \(^0^)/.

Hmm, is that Sebas and the Pleiades. Shouldn't they have gone with Momonga to the throne room? Well I guess the butterfly effect is already starting to act. Anyway, there is no harm done with this minor stuff. Upon seeing me, they immediately bowed down. Well, I am their 'supreme being' after all. I typed 'follow me' with a thought into the chat software which was still active for some reason. If it was still working, it would make my life a whole lot easier as I won't need to write down whatever I want to say, every time I want to say it.

"As you wish, Lady White." Sebas replied bowing with one hand in front of his chest.

It seems they got the message. Whew, good for me. I calmly walked past Sebas and the Pleiades keeping my eyes closed as usual as they started to follow behind me. I didn't want to obliterate them as they were now my servants after all. We walked calmly until we reached the gates of judgement as I soon stopped before Sebas opened the gates to the throne room. By now Momonga should be panicking, so I guess I'll help him out now before dumping any work to him.

Whilst I was thinking with glee as I imagined my glorious slacker life, the view inside the throne room was one that I did not expect. Albedo was facing the unoccupied throne of kings as she slowly turned around. Hmm, did she just stare at me like she wanted to kill me? I'm getting chills for some reason. Maybe it's just my imagination. Also what are all those items scattered across the floor. I did not understand the situation so I directly questioned Albedo using the chat software, even if she was giving of dangerous vibes right now.

'Albedo, what is going on here? Where is Momonga?'

"Momonga-sama has unfortunately left us. He appointed you as the new ruler of Ainz Ooal Gown before vanishing into flames leaving behind all the items in his possession. My lady, I beg you not to abandon us as well and rule us as the last remaining supreme being." Albedo said in a low and grim voice with a pleading tone.

"What?"

"How could Momonga-sama pass away?"

"No way…"

"There's no way that's true right?"

The Pleiades started clamouring over the shocking news. Sebas did not say anything but the wavering of his eyes betrayed how shocked he was as well.

Shiraori.exe stopped working.

As for me, I was not paying attention to them. Momonga terminated his account? That vanishing into flames is a special animation for account termination right. Is this the same Momonga that I know? The one who is obsessed with YGGDRASIL and Nazarick? And what the hell did she mean Momonga appointed her as guildmaster? I want my slacker life and not work for my entire immortal existence. Momonga, you betrayed me. Wait. No way. Is that why Albedo looked like she wanted to murder me? Don't tell me he changed Albedo's settings to 'She is deeply in love with Momonga' before leaving. The reason she wants to kill me is because she thinks I robbed the throne from Momonga and made him leave? Damn you. Not only did you leave me all the duties that should be rightfully yours but also made me clean up your mess.

I know how scheming Albedo is. She could be smiling and talking to you happily while plotting how to torture and kill you. She also made such plans towards the other supreme beings and created a secret squad to hunt them down, whilst keeping all this a secret even from Ainz. So while she is asking me to stay behind and not leave them, she could be thinking of ways to torture me as revenge for driving Ainz away.

Okay, calm down. I am immortal. Nothing can harm me. Not even a demon with more intelligence than both my lives combined. Worst case, I'll just kill her. Maybe I can try to use the administrator skill to rewrite her settings. Haa, nevermind. Let's just solve the issues at present. Luckily my skill at keeping a poker face is max level so no one figured out my emotions under this torrent of thoughts. Let's diffuse the situation first. I conveyed my thoughts quickly-

'Calm down. We are now in a state of emergency. Albedo, gather all the guardians except Gargantua and Victim here in the throne room within half an hour. We have to discuss countermeasures against the current situation.'

"As you command, my lady." Albedo bowed before departing quickly.

'Quickly clear up all of Momonga's items in time for the meeting. We don't have time to waste.' I commanded the Pleiades before giving an inaudible sigh.

As the Pleiades got to work, I thought about how everything is going off the rails from the very beginning. I have my work cut out ahead of me. My poor slacker life…
