Naruto Into the Undead Bone King

After saying his apology, Momonga stopped talking.

It was because of a certain idea, but Albedo thought that she wanted to abandon them, so she remained silent.

"Why! Why can't you make an agreement with me! Have you ever wanted to abandon us? Why!"

"Is there something that makes you unhappy? If you are willing to explain, I will make improvements immediately! If you think I am in the way, I will kill myself immediately!"

"No!" Ainz shouted loudly.

Albedo's shoulders jumped in shock.

"I'm just...just..."

Momonga did not dare to continue talking, because at that time he was thinking, if the guardians and world-class items were compared, who was more important.

This is a cruel comparison for Momonga, but it must be done.

Because this problem was not handled well, Momonga felt that his relationship with the guardian had not yet developed and might have come to an end.

But if Momonga was thinking alone, he would definitely not be able to think of anything.

As for Kirabi, the two of them are not that close yet.

The two great wise men of Nazarick in front of me were undoubtedly the best decision.

But there is no guarantee that mutual feelings will not be shackles by this.

After hesitating for a moment, Momonga decided to only let Albedo discuss this issue with him and listen to her opinion.

After all, she is the only one who will never betray herself, because this is the setting.

"In the end, I still haven't been able to let go of my guard against the Guardians."

Momonga sighed, then faced Albedo.

"Albedo! Release the restraints."

As soon as Albedo opened her eyes, Momonga saw the desolation in her eyes.

Seeing this, Momonga took out his handkerchief and once again gently wiped away Albedo's tears with clumsy movements.

Albedo, whose tears were wiped away by Momonga like a child, sobbed and asked, "Momonga-sama... are you, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just... I'm such a useless master. Because I regard a mere prop as more important than my loyal subordinates."

"The only items that can be compared with the Guardians are world-class items!" Albedo realized instantly and said.

"Yeah...you also think I'm a coward..."

"No, that's not the case! This is correct! World-class props are collected with great effort by the Supreme Beings, and they are definitely more valuable than us!"

"...Really?" Momonga was a little confused.

If it were in the game, Momonga would definitely think so, but deep down in his heart, there was also a thought that was not the case.

However, under the current situation, it is true that Momonga has doubts.

Because Momonga learned something about the settings of these NPCs after observing them.

That is the parts where NPC characters are not set, as well as the emotions between NPC companions, etc. Some parts seem to be inherited from past guild companions.

Just like the relationship between Shalltear and Aura, or the relationship between Demiurge and Sebas.

Momonga laughed without changing his expression.

"It's like he is everyone's child."

Momonga felt happy and lonely at the same time as the feeling that his past companions were not here, but right next to him.

Momonga shook his head, returning to his sad mood.

It is precisely because of this that he hesitates between NPCs and world-class props. After all, abandoning current NPCs and abandoning past companions...

There is no difference anymore.

But among the world-class props that are almost all balance destroyers, there are twenty props called "Twenty", twenty props with unparalleled extraordinary abilities.

In "Twenty" there is a very famous prop "Longinus", which can completely delete the target, but at the cost of the user being completely deleted.

After being deleted by this world-class item, there is no way to recover except using other world-level items to resurrect.

There is no point in using paid props or resurrection magic.

If someone assumes that someone uses this item on an NPC in Nazarick, then the base camp’s special offer—the total number of levels that the NPC can create—will be reduced based on the level of the NPC that uses the item.

Several similar crazy props appeared in Momonga's mind.

"Ahura Mazda" can exert a powerful effect on targets with negative justice values, and the effect is enough to spread throughout the world.

You can ask YGGDRASIL Production Company to change the "five elements in conflict" of some magic systems.

The "Ouroboros Ring" can require the production company to change the system to a greater extent than the "Five Elements Conflict".

There is also the most powerful world-class prop "World Savor".

It usually only has the power of a normal stick, but it can continuously become stronger without limit.

Therefore, even at its peak when all the members of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick were present, just one enemy possessing this item was enough to capture the entire base.

These props called "Twenty" are so powerful that they disappear as soon as they are used once, so they are reluctant to use them as trump cards.

Ainz Ooal Gown is proud to have two of the "Twenty" world-class items.

But it must be dealt with only when the enemy uses props of the same level, because only props of the same level are enough to compete.

And what if it just disappears.

But after disappearing, what will happen if it falls into the hands of others, especially the enemies of Nazarick?

Nazarick is protected by world-class props, so the interior will not be affected, but if one party fails, the other party may attack the entrance.

Therefore, if one day, I have to choose between a guardian and a world item, which one is more important?

"Albedo, thank you for what you just said. I will tell you why I answered you with silence just now."

Momonga took a deep breath and exhaled as his body still retained the human feeling it had in the past.

I take a deep breath like I did when I was alive, because I know what I want to say next is very important.

"Albedo!"

"exist!"

If one day I have to make a choice between a guardian and a world-class item, the one I don't choose will disappear forever! "

Before Momonga could finish speaking, Albedo shouted out without hesitation:

"The latter is more important!"

"Albedo! I said I would do it completely..."

"Lord Momonga, I have no regrets. The latter is definitely more important! Not only me, but other guardians must have made this choice too!"

"But……"

Momonga wanted to retort, but saw Albedo whimper slightly again.

This voice deeply hurt Ainz's heart——but his spirit soon stabilized.

Suddenly……

Kirabi laughed excitedly and patted Momonga on the shoulder.

"Haha! Isn't this exactly what you are really thinking in your heart? Mr. Momonga."
