Contract

The somber and oppressive atmosphere of the Great Tomb of Nazarick took several days to dissipate.

The Tenth Floor – the Throne Hall.

Momonga summoned the Floor Guardian once again, his heart filled with mixed emotions as he looked at his fallen subordinates.

"I guess I'm still a proper Corporate Slave after all. I can't be a heartless boss who can turn a blind eye to the demise of his subordinates."

The Momonga sighed inwardly.

Demiurge, Cocytus, and Pandora —three high-ranking NPCs who cannot be resurrected—filled Momonga with immense unease.

In the past few days, he had Shalltear, who was proficient in teleportation magic, risk great danger to capture several natives from outside, and then, with a heavy heart, had the natives kill several NPCs from the Great Tomb in various ways.

He received a result that greatly surprised him—NPCs killed by the natives could be resurrected by spending gold coins!

"But why can't the NPCs killed by the ninjas be resurrected?"

Puzzled, Momonga grew even more wary of the Ninja World, at one point even thinking that the Ninja World was like the administrators in a game, specifically there to control players like them who had crossed over from the game.

Meanwhile, Shalltear, while out and about, also encountered a troublesome person.

Momonga gave a deep look at the miniature Black Gold Dragon perched on Shalltear's shoulder, his mind swirling with many thoughts, until finally he couldn't make up his mind.

"This is what it means to be Corporate Slave."

After expressing his feelings, he spoke to the guardians.

"I've called everyone here today because there are two things I want to tell you."

Even if they suffered a defeat, it wouldn't diminish Momonga's supreme image in everyone's hearts. The NPCs, led by Albedo, would only blame their own incompetence and condemn the Ninja World's despicable shamelessness.

Albedo Momonga, felt a pang of sadness seeing the once-powerful Ainz Momonga no longer so domineering.

"The first thing I want to do is introduce to everyone the Dragon Emperor, the strongest True Dragon Lord Dragon Emperor king on the Mana Continent, who is an enemy of the Ninja World Head of State."

As Momonga Gown finished speaking, the Dragon Emperor flapped his wings, flew off Shalltear's shoulder, landed on the ground, and transformed into a gaunt man with cascading black hair, flamboyant eyebrows and eyes, and an aura of imposing dominance.

As soon as it appeared, it became the center of attention, its overbearing manner drawing dissatisfaction from everyone except for Momonga.

Those who were unaware of the situation couldn't find a suitable reason to interrupt, so they all looked at Shalltear.

Shalltear, who was being watched, took a deep breath, her fake breasts rising and falling slightly. Just as she was about to say something, Momonga interrupted her thoughts.

"Faced with the overwhelming power of the Ninja World, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's clan has also suffered greatly. The Frost Dragon, who was hostile to us not long ago, was a victim of brainwashing by the Ninja World's forces."

As Momonga spoke, he recalled the chilling feeling he had when Shalltear returned to the Great Tomb Nazarick the night before last and saw the miniature Black Gold Dragon Emperor —it was like being suddenly patted on the shoulder on a quiet Natsuhi night.

His first reaction was to defend and counterattack, but just as he was about to use magic, the magic around him instantly became chaotic, the prepared magic dissipated instantly, and the magic circles collapsed one after another.

Momonga was taken aback. While radiating a forced calm aura, he was also rapidly manipulating his magic, and the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown appeared in his hand.

"Don't be nervous, I have the same enemy as you."

"Who are you!"

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Shalltear suddenly unleashed her aura, instantly donning a full-body red divine armor that covered her entire body, revealing only her beautiful face. Holding a long spear, she stood guard in front of Momonga, her expression wary and anxious as she watched the intruder who had suddenly appeared before her.

A soldier's instinct told her that this was an uninvited guest she had accidentally brought from outside!

"A common enemy? I don't believe your nonsense!"

When the Vampire True Vampire and the Black Gold Dragon Emperor locked eyes, an indescribable sense of panic welled up in the former's heart, and a wave of regret washed over her like a tsunami.

"Momonga, please step back. Shalltear will take care of this mistake!"

The True Vampire of Vampires had decided that even if it meant self-destruction, she would deal with her mistake. However, Momonga suddenly grabbed her shoulder, Shalltear returned a confused look.

"Don't rush, this is Nazarick, no one can just come and go as they please!"

Having already used the guild master's authority to turn the Great Tomb into a space-restricted Momonga, and forcibly taken control of its own magic power, the Despair Aura emanating from its body gave the Dragon Emperor a profound sense of oppression.

The Dragon Emperor gazed at the skeletal mage wielding a powerful staff. Even he, who possessed the entire Mana Continent, couldn't help but feel a surge of greed at the sight of the mage's luxurious attire.

"With the aid of Magic Equipment, in certain situations, this skeletal mage can perform as well as a Six Paths cultivator!"

Upon contact, the Dragon Emperor understood this fact, especially upon seeing the red gemstone embedded in the other's abdomen, the power contained within of which even he could not fathom.

The only certainty is that the red gem is 100% a World Item!

" With the Billions of Blades that appeared before, plus the Crimson Jade now, and the powerful subordinates and legions, the players who have traveled through time this time are not to be underestimated."

The Dragon Emperor decided to lower his stance slightly and communicate with the Momonga on an equal footing.

"My mortal enemy is Uchiha Takeyasu. I believe we have a lot in common."

Momonga did not believe the Dragon Emperor's one-sided words and remained wary. He was also relieved that his face was just a skeleton without flesh, which allowed him to meet the requirement of a superior not to show his emotions. He then slowly began to talk with the Dragon Emperor.

Shalltear listened silently, her highly focused attention entirely on the Dragon Emperor. She had no idea why the Dragon Emperor had followed her through the portal back to Nazarick.

With Momonga right in front of her, even though the Dragon Emperor was putting on a peaceful front, Shalltear dared not let her guard down, fearing that if she lost focus for even a moment, Momonga would be attacked by the Dragon Emperor right in front of her.

Momonga, still harboring suspicions, then reached a preliminary agreement with the Dragon Emperor to form an alliance.

"The second thing is to form an alliance with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

Under the watchful gaze of the Momonga, the Dragon Emperor surveyed the crowd present.

To avoid provoking Momonga's nerves, the Dragon Emperor has been staying in the room arranged by Momonga these days, and this is the first time he has seen the Floor Guardian.

The powerful auras emanating from each of them astonished him; even the Dragon Clan at its peak was no more than this.

With the Graeme Golems scattered throughout, the entire Great Tomb could be described as a den of dragons and tigers.

"It has not been in vain that I Sergeant scholars with respect."

With these thoughts in mind, the Dragon Emperor waved his hand and cast a spell, unfolding a map of the Mana Continent and marking their location.

The subsequent explanation caused Albedo, the only remaining all-around expert and the most intelligent being in the Great Tomb, to become serious. As she looked at the eloquent Dragon Emperor, several thoughts arose in her mind.

"That's roughly the situation. I will mobilize all forces outside the Northwest to jointly wipe out the Ninja World, drowning the ninjas in a sea of numbers!"

With a final wave of his hand, the Dragon Emperor declared, "As for Uchiha Takeyasu, I, along with Momonga and others who disapprove of his domineering behavior, will join forces to eliminate him!"

Just as the Dragon Emperor and Momonga were preparing for their alliance, the Otsutsuki brothers also ventured into the depths of the lunar space rift and encountered their birth mother, Kaguya, who was sealed away like an insect in amber!

Kaguya Otsutsuki, having consumed the God Tree Fruit, possessed eternal youth, a privilege her two brothers envied.

Her appearance was somewhere between that of a young girl and a young woman; her pale skin could not conceal Kaguya's beauty.

Her long, blue-white hair framed her delicate and beautiful face. She had two horns on her head, wore a white robe with black Tomoe patterns, and had Byakugan Rinne Sharingan on her forehead.

Even though they were sealed, the two Otsutsuki brothers could feel a terrifying pressure emanating from their mother.

In this empty, sealed space, Kaguya Otsutsuki barely managed to sense the movements of the Ninja World using Black Zetsu, thus preventing her from going completely insane. She barely managed to see the two brothers approaching together using her Byakugan, and her eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

The Rabbit Goddess, whose words and actions were sealed, was met only with indifferent gazes from the two brothers.

If killing Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't caused the Ninja World world's Chakra to lose its source, the two of them would never have minded falling into the "darkness" and being completely buried in darkness.

The title of Rabbit Goddess will shine brightly in history books—a princess born under the moonlight, yet in the eyes of the common people and all things in heaven and earth, she is like the blazing morning sun, radiant and universal, her light benefiting the earth.

"Mother, you don't need to look at us like that. We just want to guide the Ninja World onto the right path."

Ultimately, we are still your children.

Hearing the two brothers' shameless words, one after the other, Kaguya Otsutsuki calmed down. Unable to speak or act, she looked at the two brothers with indifferent eyes, as if watching two clowns putting on a show.

The sarcasm was palpable.

Her mind, which had regained some consciousness, was pondering one thing—had Black Zetsu, the product of her will and flesh, been captured by them?

Over the years, Kaguya Otsutsuki has been unable to sense the presence of Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu, being essentially a product of the Six Paths, is impossible for ordinary ninjas to capture, and is now completely missing.

Inside this empty, sealed space, Kaguya Otsutsuki felt like she was going crazy!

Hagoromo Otsutsuki didn't care at all; the attitude of the prisoner was unimportant to him.

The important question is whether he can get what he wants from the prisoner.

"In the current Ninja World, an extraordinary junior has emerged. At such a young age, he has already reached the Six Paths level and is ambitious enough to kill the two of us and become the ruler of the Ninja World, and even the world."

Kaguya Otsutsuki was startled by what she heard.

For the proud and arrogant Hagoromo Otsutsuki to call someone extraordinary, they must be a Six Paths level powerhouse. Could it be that her Black Zetsu has fallen into their hands?

If so, is it possible for Black Zetsu to persuade the other party to rescue him?

Moreover, judging from Hagoromo Otsutsuki's tone, the newly promoted junior clearly harbors hostility towards his two ancestors who are only interested in seeking fame and fortune. Perhaps his own day of escape is just around the corner?

What is Mother thinking?

Looking at his mother's surprised expression, Hamura Otsutsuki said calmly, "Are you thinking of relying on that junior to escape from here?"

"That's possible, but the way we leave is different from what Mother wants."

Having already decided to forcibly seize the Byakugan from his bloodline, Hamura Otsutsuki abandoned all notions of propriety and shame as defined by human standards. Looking at Kaguya Otsutsuki's pure and flawless Byakugan, a longing welled up in his heart.

To receive Byakugan from one's mother is better than receiving a thousand Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan.

No, there's simply no comparison!

"Mother, you now have a choice to make."

Hamura Otsutsuki initially thought he could face the challenges of his juniors with a clear conscience, and that he could face victory or death without any regrets. However, as he approached the crucial moment of transcendence, he began to back down.

No matter what it takes or what sacrifices he has to make, he wants to see the result of his thousand years of hard work!

"Now, your bloodline descendants, the possessors of the Byakugan, number two thousand six hundred and seventy-two men, women, and children. I need them to perform a blood sacrifice in exchange for the opportunity to advance further."

"However, if you voluntarily remove your eyes, they won't have to sacrifice themselves."

Having reached the Six Paths level, one's will and bloodline have long since become one. Even if one forcibly takes Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes, with just a thought from her, the stolen Byakugan will become inanimate.

However, if one's strength is not achieved through their own efforts in entering the Six Paths realm, their Kekkei Genkai may be stripped away, and their essence will not be pure.

Over the past thousand years, Hamura Otsutsuki has acquired several pairs of Tenseigan through catalysis, but these only serve to replenish his energy; he has not been born with a single pair of Tenseigan naturally.

The Rinnegan is the same in this respect.

Feeling Hamura Otsutsuki's gaze fall upon her, Kaguya Otsutsuki felt a wave of nausea. If she could escape, she knew that their sinful bloodline was filth that needed to be eradicated!

Upon discovering that Kaguya Otsutsuki remained unmoved, Hamura Otsutsuki was also filled with regret, saying indifferently, "As expected, Mother is still that fallen goddess who attempted to destroy the Ninja World. There's nothing more for us to discuss."

"What a shameless beast!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki stared coldly at Hamura Otsutsuki, whose face remained impassive, her heart filled with resentment.

"Alright, now it's time for Mother to make her choice."

After calmly reading the conversation between her younger brother and mother, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was extremely curious about what had kept Kaguya Otsutsuki from going mad for a thousand years, but at this point it was no longer so important.

He said it in a calm tone.

"Here is a contract. If Mother agrees, we will break the seal and allow Mother to return to the sunlight once more and experience the beauty of All Creation."

"The only condition is that you kill Uchiha Takeyasu!"
