Dialogue Bolded For Readability Not Emphasis
Theocracy Perspective 1 (Did this one a while back)
Clem's Brother AKA Bowl Cut The Dude:
[WN never had Nigun meet Ainz in the first volume, and Clementine never was in the graveyard. Also
Ainz was going to Hogwarts]
Nigun’s line of sight moved to a camouflage colored tent. Normally, they should take action as soon as
their angels are summoned as they have a fixed time limit. But, there was a reason he could not do so.
The answer was in the tense appearance of the surrounding subordinates.
It was the master of the tent. Nigun, as the Captain of the Sunlight Scripture could be described as
outstanding. But no one complained as they waited. That’s because they were the highest-ranking
person for the lower ranked troops. The tent opens before long. The one that appears from there is a
young man. At that moment, the atmosphere of the field changes completely.
It was now filled with the tension of a battlefield. Nigun, watching the man, swallows his saliva. His
presence was different. The difference was like the distinction between men and lions. Nigun is also
someone in the highest tiers of power as a person, but that man released something that made him feel
like he could never win.
Intensity–there was none. He appeared to be a very gentle person. Murderous Intent–was nonexistent.
On the contrary, it was the reverse. There wasn’t a trace of hostility.
There are six special forces from the country Nigun comes from, like his unit the Sunlight Scripture,
The Slane Theocracy. Although each unit has different characteristics, the Scripture the man who just
appeared from had was made up of those who had power in the Realm of Heores, those who broke
through the limits of human beings.
It’s name was–the Black Scripture. It’s name was that of the absolute strongest fighting force in the
Slane Theocracy. This guy that belongs to such a unit is of course strong. The ability of a person that
has departed past the limits of humanity is likewise strong, but his Job adds to his power. Certainly, if it
is just simple strength then the First Seat or the 10th Seat “The Strongest Human” or the 12th Seat
“Tenge Tenge” are superior. In terms of special powers, “Time Turbulence” or the Fourth Seat “Holy
Spirit” were more frightening. However there is no one superior to him in terms of annihilation.
The Black Scripture’s Fifth Seat–“One Man Army” the man named Kuaiesse Hazeia Quintia was the
best for this mission [to exterminate goblins].
“Thank you for waiting.”
All the troops lower their heads.
“I’m done with my preparations, so I can move out anytime.”
“Quintia-sama–”
“Captain Luin. I do not mind being addressed as Quintia.”
Nigun doesn’t let it show on his face, but he has a bitter face. He may be good, but it is a problem for
Nigun. Generally, the Sunlight Scripture duties include the extermination of subspecies. In that sense,
Kuaiesse, a superior version of themselves created complicated emotions. Although their faith had the
same god, this subject is difficult to address. Although Nigun smiles wryly, in his mind he is unsightly
with jealousy.
“Calling a Black Scripture member, the guardians of the Theocracy without an honorific...”
“I see. I was ordered by the Captain to serve with Captain Luin to help clean-up the repulsive
demi-humans, so let’s appoint Captain Luin as the commanding officer. So I do not think it is not
a good thing to be addressed as such by the commanding officer as they are the top person in the
chain-of-command. Of course, I do not mind if there is special reason for it. ”
“...”
Nigun thought without speaking. Kuaiesse’s remarks were correct from the standpoint of the
organization.
“Quintia. Let me address you as such. Yet, permit me to use polite words of address for you from
another Scripture.”
“Of course, thank you in advance Captain Luin. Then, what are my instructions? ”
“I want you to show me the power they call a 'One Man Army'.”
“Do you not mind me selecting the monsters to summon?”
When Nigun shook his head, Quintia laughed softly.

“COME OUT! Gigant Basillisk!”
A huge black hole emerges behind Quintia. And the form of a monster slowly appeared. With a roar,
noises could be heard from Nigun’s men. Using the difficulty rating of adventurers, they could compare
to rank 83 monsters. Some of those in the Sunlight Scripture could use 4th Tier magic, but only Nigun
could even compete with the Gigant Basilisk. No, rather it is only a matter of fighting, it is another
matter when it comes to being victorious.
(He can deploy such monsters...this is person is the strongest Beast Tamer...)
... [Stuff happens, Gigant Basilisk get one-shotted after some POV changes we now see things in
Ainz' perspective] ...
“GOD!”
[TN: No honorific (you can interpret it as being intimate) and it has the connotation of trying to convey
he is a believer Ainz does not know of]
The non-existent heart in Ainz seemed to beat...Ainz had forgotten to hide his non-existent face and
was looking for where the voice came from. From next to the two dead Gigant Basillisk, feebly
prostrated on the ground next to the large body a man’s figure was visible.
“GOD!”
The man who crawled from a hole repeatedly prostrated... From the fact that his line of sight was on
Ainz whose face was that of an undead without active concealment’s, the one being called a god was
Ainz.
(Me...impossible, so that’s the reason...)
Somewhat understanding the man, Ainz created an obsidian throne with magic, and with an
appropriately regal attitude he took a seat. Then after that, he nodded his head in assent toward the man.
"That’s right. I am your god."
“I knew it/it was like I thought!” the man drew near Ainz and genuflected on one knee, sincerely
bowing in loyalty.
“Your expulsion by those that committed the Grave Sin [daizai] was no more than a falsely
handed down tradition!”
[TN: they teach in Theocracy Sunday School that Zurshana/Surshana/Slushlie the Seventh Slush
of Slosh was expelled but Maruyama confirmed he got ganked to death]
(...hmm?)
Ainz did not know what the man was talking about, but he could not appear like a human and ask him.
“That is right. You can employ/use me as your god.”
Ainz’ words seemingly filled some desire of the man, as he was overjoyed, and tears began to overflow
from both his eyes.
“Good Heavens, my GOD!” with these words the man deeply bowed/prostrated, in contrast with Ainz
who pulled back somewhat from his actions. Ainz using his foot lifts the prostrating man’s chin up and
peered into his eyes.
(Going mad with religious faith... it feels like that sort of experience)
He felt a cold chill go across the back of his spine. His eyes carried a repulsive gleam that if it was
God’s decree he could throw away his life calmly. By some chance, it resembles the subordinates in
Nazarick.
(If it is this kind of lunatic, I can skillfully pull the strings of this puppet.)
[Ainz tells him to go take a timeout in the bushes]
“Religion is scary...”
“Well that was an unpleasant surprise. ...To think an evil god religious organization would come
stand out in such a place.”...
“God...huh. Yet I expected they would have called me an evil god...”
Ainz shook his head. “Nothing changes if its God or Evil God.”
Theocracy Perspective 2
[TN: Slane tries to spy on Nazarick with Overank scrying magic using one of the Miko Princesses in a
channeling ritual, immediately triggering a counter-attack by the weakest type of demon, a thief-type
that immediately trolls them into submission.]
“In other words the master of Nazarick can negated 8th Tier Magic and possesses power which
summoned a monster like a demon as a counter.”
“... was the notion it was God not necessarily mistaken?”
It was a story thought to be a joke when it was first heard. That was the master of Nazarick has a figure
identical to Surshana the God of Death [kami no shi].
Would that not lead to strife? If we're careless it could become a major religious controversy
[daishuukyou ronsou].
The Slane Theocracy's faith believed in 6 Gods, the country was managed and organized in a system of
cooperation. Though each God was different, they could cooperate due to having a shared sense of
purpose and direction. Then what about the case where only 1 God descends from the heavens?
It's possible the power balance between the 6 temples would be overturned in one breath. Nevertheless,
this case they wouldn't be able to suppress the matter. It is not difficult to secretly suppress it, yet in the
case of concealing a scandal [of this magnitude] will stir problems in the future-- that topic would be
unbearably frightening.
No, it may perhaps be a dread that could not be stored in one's heart.
If God truly appeared, bowing one's head and bending the knee was proper in front of existences one
should obey.
However, it would be terrible if the other party only has a figure similar to “Surshana”. It was a God
that could bestow an eternity of tranquility or an eternity of despair. Finally it was the God considered
to be more powerful in comparison to the other 5 Gods. Supposing that [notion] was the truth--
The Water God's Cardinal would be ostracized. Thus they prayed in consecration. Toward the God that
was not their own, to the God of Death “Surshana”. They would beg, hoping not to receive God's
punishment.
PDL and 8GK
[After Splatfest WN Edition]
Slowly a radiant white mass awoke. It was a gigantic being.
That was a dragon [doragon]. In the New World it was the strongest race/species [shuzoku] that
formerly ruled/dominated/controlled [shihaishita] the world.
Dragons were creatures that once looked upon would surely bring to mind reptiles. But that notion is
mistaken. Rather dragons had characteristics resembling animals of the feline family.
Be it from the movements of the eye [and eyelid] to their muscular tissue, no possible example was
exempt.
Of particular importance was the alertness and agility beyond imagination born from a body comprised
of thousands of layers of muscular tissue. Motions of a dragon could not be followed from untrained
kinetic vision.
The scales which cover it's whole body are harder than steel, and even blades made of ordinary metal
would split on impact. Even if somehow the scales are penetrated, the walls of muscle would stop such
weapons from wounding deeply. The breath released from it's mouth mowed down all those that
opposed them and exceeded the wisdom of man, and brought even sages to their knees.
And this dragon had a very beautiful figure. The body which bore a faint white, glittering light that
overflowed with beauty and dignified elegance.
The dragon gazed into the distance. No it sensed something. The state of the world was wavering.
“What happened? Platinum Dragon Lord?”
That dragon's personal knight called out to it. The knight understood situations involving Dragon
Sense, yet the dragon believing it was ill-mannered not to show attention to one it spoke to, so the
dragon shifted it' eyes in response. There was a knight whom the dragon selected to be by it's side.
They were adorned in silver dragon scale mail that resembled the dragon's own scales.
[The knight] carried a silver lance in their hands. The armor of the figure was manufactured to have the
motif of a dragon, which gave the impression of an upright standing dragon.
But who would know? That armor belonged to one of the 13 Heroes Silver Snow [Hakugin] who had
two names, that being only one of them.
“No, it is of no concern.”
With pupils which nothing could be seen within, once more the dragon shifted it's gaze. The knight also
turned their eyes to the same direction, but they saw nothing. No, rather the dragon may not have saw
something either. In response to the knight's perplexity, the dragon voiced an explanation.
“I felt the world was screaming.”
“Screaming?”
A dragon's ability to perceive was on a different level. The knight judged that the dragon had perceived
something they would never be able to sense and ceased any questions.
The dragon said nothing [as well]. However, it's survival instinct was making an uproar, having
experienced a sensation from days of yore.
It was easy to remember what it experienced. The reason was, well the memory of the maelstrom of
oblivion [“boukyaku no uzu”] would never be swallowed [/forgotten].
–-The 8 Greed Kings. Existences that he and his own race waged a war against. Beings that hunted
down and killed nearly all the dragons. There was a disturbance resembling invocation of magic similar
to that insurmountable menace.
The dragon thought back to history. Dragons who were considered strong beings were hunted to near
extinction by those beings. While called a Dragon Lord in the present, compared to the Dragon Lords
of 500 years ago, he only had power that barely exceeded a child. Besides [his] Wild Magic.
As far as the dragon knew only he was able to use the mystery of the world [sekai no shinpi] called
Primal Magic [origin magic;”shingen no mahou”]. Could they have won if they were organized and
united in their war? For no less than 500 years the dragon had pondered this many times.
The conclusion he reached was they could have attained victory. The reason was former Dragon Lords
were superior to [/could beat] the 8 Greed Kings. If he remembered correctly, 1 King required a
plurality [of resources/manpower] to deal with. To kill 1 King, the dragon side would suffer 10 times
the damage [“higai wa juubai”]. Even if an 8 Greed King died, they would be revived by resurrection
magic. However, the fact is the resurrected 8 Greed King would weaken each time. Perhaps, if an
amount of all those present [“suu ga soroeba”] overwhelmed them they could have attained victory.
Nonetheless, it was a fact that did not happen.
After all, they perpetuated the contamination of the world. [“sekai wa okashi, yogosareta”]
Wild Magic was lost, and the magic spread [spilled; “koboshita”] by the 8 Greed Kings became
superior/the leader [“mahou ga nushi”].
The dragon twisted his long neck behind him and eyed certain weapons. Since they were put here by
himself, the weapons had not been touched by anyone. [In his view] was a blade made of crystal, a
gorgeous/gaudy [“kiraibiyakana”] sword. A weapon wielded by the 8 Greed Kings, a weapon built to
kill and one used to murder their own. [“onoga douzoku wo koroshi ni koroshita buki”]. It was also the
weapon also used by the person who deserved to be called the leader of the 13 Heroes.
That [blade] marked/symbolized the 8 Greed Kings, a borrowed item[finest item;“ippin”] that gave a
blessing at a price.
The name was---.
The dragon's eyes flickered in vibrant wonder.
“What did they call it” and for a brief moment, wringing his mind in that gap [of time] to put together
[a name] “...was it Guilty Ordinance [/the weapon called Guilty ;“giruti buki”]?”
Of course, there was no one that could answer whether it was correct or not. The dragon let out an
unnatural sigh, and turned it's gaze back to a certain direction.
Far beyond the point from earlier--- beyond even the perception ability of the dragon.
It was a place where there was a 1 huge lake, at the south-end of the Azerelius mountain range.
Bonus: Jircniv's amulet was special!?!!??!? Mah Wild Magic!?!?!? Player item?!?!?!?!? Warudo
Itemu!??!?!?!?!? kappa.
And then this is just a verification, but even so you won't accept and carry the Mind Rigger [“seishin
sousa”; “mental control to your advantage” or “Mind Handler” or “Mind Management”is more literal]
After Jircniv finished speaking, everyone instantly realized that the magic item in question was the
Supreme Treasure [shikou no houmotsu] passed down generation to generation in the Empire.
Naturally. The item which confers protection towards all mental effects. Which magic cannot breach
through.
