After handling everything, everyone returned to Nazarick.
Peroroncino, Momonga, Bukubukuchagama, and the Guardians gathered in the arena on the 6th floor of Nazarick.
Peroroncino tossed the crippled head into the center of the arena.
Momonga attempted several resurrection spells and methods, but none of them worked.
Peroroncino then used the World-Class Item: Perfect Resurrection Jade.
With a flash of white light, the head was resurrected, and its post-resurrection form was the same puppet of the God of Death that Peroroncino had seen before.
Peroroncino and the others were ready to make a move, but the puppet showed no signs of action at all.
Far away in the Council State, the God of Death, who had already escaped there, sensed his puppet had been resurrected. However, he didn't dare to control it.
He feared that if he took over the puppet's consciousness, he might not be able to return to his original body.
Although he had never heard of such magic before, considering he was already capable of remotely controlling the puppet, it wasn't impossible for someone else to have similar magic.
As a particularly cautious individual, the God of Death maintained multiple identities, one of which included being a Councilor of the Council State.
The method of controlling the puppet was not invented by the God of Death himself but was learned from the Platinum Dragon Lord.
Although he held the title of a Councilor of the Council State, he rarely made an appearance there.
Most of the Council members knew very little about him, but the God of Death possessed the ability to craft unique artifacts.
Such talent would be considered rare no matter where he went.
At one point, three Councilors of the Council State attempted to force the God of Death to become their artifact-making slave.
However, they were swiftly killed by the God of Death, and their bodies were hung from the most prominent tower in the Council State.
From that moment on, no one dared to question the God of Death's strength, and his status as a Councilor was permanently secured.
Every year, the God of Death would sell some artifacts in the Council State in exchange for the rare materials he needed.
After all, he greatly valued his identity as a Councilor, as the Council State had many resources essential to him.
In the Council State, being a Councilor was the highest symbol of status and authority.
Back in the arena, Peroroncino stared at the puppet, which had shown no reaction for a long time.
He gave it a slap, and the puppet simply collapsed to the ground.
Peroroncino kicked it a few times and realized that the puppet was no different from a dead body.
"This guy... could it be just a puppet?" Momonga spoke up.
"Or maybe... a player!" Peroroncino added. After all, when he died previously, his original body was similarly unresponsive.
"No! This is definitely a puppet. When a player dies, there's still a sense of awareness!" said Bukubukuchagama.
Bukubukuchagama was fully aware of the truth behind the death of the Eight Greed Kings, and she explained everything she knew to the others.
When a player is resurrected, what comes back is merely their in-game character, not the player themselves.
In other words, what's actually revived is essentially an NPC with the player's memories.
If Peroroncino, Bukubukuchagama, or Momonga were to die and then be resurrected, there was a high chance they might betray the others at any moment.
After all, none of them were good-hearted individuals.
All three of them had negative justice attributes exceeding -450—Peroroncino was at -450, while the other two were at -500.
Once turned into NPCs, they would become cold and extreme, much like robots.
The reason why the NPCs of Nazarick could coexist peacefully was that they were part of a unified collective—a single entity belonging to Nazarick.
However, an NPC with player memories wouldn't share that same bond.
After all, according to their memories, most people had already abandoned the guild Ainz Ooal Gown, leaving Momonga as the last remaining member.
.........
Momonga examined the puppet's memories, but they only contained the experiences of the puppet itself, with no trace of the God of Death's memories.
However, the puppet's memories revealed that it was created in the Slane Theocracy and had even served as the God of Death of the Theocracy for a period of time.
That period coincided with the appearance of the Eight Greed Kings.
The God of Death had left the puppet behind to observe the situation, as the Slane Theocracy was his stronghold, and he was reluctant to abandon it unless absolutely necessary.
However, under the endless demands of the people of the Theocracy, the God of Death eventually gave up on the idea of staying.
As a deity of faith in the Theocracy, many people believed it was their right to seek his help.
To them, the God of Death was their god, and a god should unconditionally assist them.
But faith itself produced no real power; in reality, it was merely one-sided exploitation by the people of the Theocracy.
This was one of the reasons the God of Death left the Slane Theocracy.
Another reason was the arrogance and hypocrisy of the Theocracy.
They boldly declared that humans were superior beings, while all other races were inferior—a laughable notion in the eyes of the God of Death.
By the time things reached such a state, the God of Death had neither the will nor the ability to stop it.
Even if he could have intervened, the sheer number of people in the Theocracy made it an insurmountable task.
And even if he succeeded, the process would have been too troublesome, and the God of Death had his own goals to pursue, goals tied to his future happiness.
After reviewing all the puppet's memories, Momonga confirmed that the person Peroroncino had previously encountered was indeed the God of Death from the Slane Theocracy.
Now that the Sorcerer Kingdom had destroyed the Slane Theocracy, they had created an irreparable feud with the God of Death.
Killing his puppet and nearly killing him had escalated their conflict to a point of no return—a bitter struggle where only one side could survive.
Since the situation had escalated to a fight to the death, the only option left was to eliminate the root of the problem entirely.
To enhance Peroroncino's self-preservation abilities, Bukubukuchagama devised an Origin Magic training plan for him.
Originally, Peroroncino only knew five Origin Spells, but Bukubukuchagama aimed for him to master ten Origin Spells.
Thus began a period of grueling training, as the spells Peroroncino had learned previously were relatively simple ones.
After a month of intense and painful study, Peroroncino managed to learn three additional Origin Spells—but they weren't learned by his main body, rather by his Full-Time Humanoid.
The Full-Time Humanoid had exceptional adaptability and could learn even the most complex Origin Spells with remarkable speed.
Bukubukuchagama had also been teaching Momonga Origin Magic for a long time, but unfortunately, Momonga's talent for it was mediocre.
Despite his efforts, he had only managed to learn a few weaker Origin Spells and had hit a ceiling in his learning ability.
Afterward, Peroroncino used the God of Death's puppet for grinding experience—resurrecting it, killing it, resurrecting it again, and killing it repeatedly.
After a monotonous month of practice, Peroroncino's Full-Time Humanoid finally reached level 100.
At the same time, Nazarick entered a war preparation phase.
During this period, Momonga relentlessly used corpses to create Death Knights.
Originally, Nazarick only had about 10,000 Death Knights, but their numbers had now swelled to 100,000.
Nazarick itself couldn't physically accommodate so many Death Knights, so they were all stationed on the Katze Plains.
The plains became an endless sea of Death Knights, resembling an unfathomable skeletal army stretching to the horizon.
The aura of death blanketed the entire Katze Plains, creating an oppressive and eerie atmosphere.
At one point, a particularly reckless individual decided to investigate what was happening on the plains.
However, the overwhelming death aura instantly overwhelmed him, and the moment he came into contact with it, he was transformed into an undead creature.
