What happened to Sebas left Ainz utterly stunned. However, with the help of the numerous guardians, they managed to defeat Sebas. Despite being a max-level entity, Sebas's strength wasn't remarkable as he didn't have good equipment.
The importance of gear was evident. For example, according to the original work, the fully equipped Cocytus could fight against an unarmed Shalltear, highlighting how crucial equipment was.
Surrounded and outmatched, Sebas was eventually defeated. Ainz hadn't planned to fight alone, given he hadn't prepared adequately and this was within the Great Tomb, not outside where they would need to be quiet.
So soon Sebas was killed, and after being killed, everyone discovered that Sebas had been under mind control.
"As the butler of the Great Tomb, to be controlled mentally is just pathetic!"
Aura commented angrily, her temper flaring.
"Don't worry about that now. Prepare the items needed to resurrect Sebas, and also Solution. You all know how strong Sebas is. To be able to control him, the other party must be using some special items!"
Ainz is not a fool, so he naturally knows what is going on with the other party. Sebas is not weak. If the enemy wants to control Sebas, they can't do it without using special items.
What alarmed Ainz was the existence of such high-level mind-control items in this world. If it is used on him, Ainz can hardly imagine what the consequences will be.
Pushing these thoughts aside, Ainz focused on preparing the items needed to resurrect Solution and Sebas.
"Albedo, keep an eye on them. If they are still in hostile state after resurrection, we'll have no choice but to eliminate them!"
Ainz didn't want to harm his subordinates, but sometimes, there was no other option, so now, if Sebas turned hostile again, Ainz didn't have any other choice but to deal with him decisively.
"Don't worry, Ainz-sama, I know what to do. If he remained hostile after resurrection, I will personally take off his head!"
Albedo liked Ainz to the extreme, so if Sebas and Solution are still hostile, then she would go crazy.
With preparations complete, Ainz initiated the resurrection process for Sebas and Solution.
"How is it?"
Watching the two slowly take shape, Ainz directly threw two pieces of cloth on them, and then looked at Albedo and asked.
"So far, there's no indication of hostility. They appear to be free from the control," Albedo reported, relieved to see their names hadn't turned red on her display. "However, I recommend keeping a close watch on them for a while!"
"Excellent. Now, let's question them about who dared to target us!"
Ainz stated, waking Sebas and Solution after seeing the two fully formed. Upon regaining consciousness, both realized what they had done under the influence of mind control. Sebas, in particular, was so distraught that he almost considered taking his own life again, which reassured Ainz, as it confirmed that Sebas would never willingly betray him.
"Alright, Sebas and Solution, I am well aware of your loyalty. Now, tell me exactly what happened. Why did you come back and attack us?"
Ainz directly asked, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter. Sebas and Solution took a moment to recall their memories.
"I remember that Solution and I were spotted and attacked as soon as we arrived in the capital. We were ambushed and intended to eliminate the attackers, but their strength was on par with mine, and there was more than one of them."
"One of them used some sort of item, and after that, I was controlled!"
Sebas's memory wasn't very complete, but he remembered enough to explain the crucial points.
"It was indeed an item. I understand. Sebas, you and Solution should rest here for now. Such items are very dangerous. It seems we need to change our strategy!"
Ainz said, feeling somewhat helpless. His subordinates were valuable, and although they could be resurrected, the fact that they could be manipulated was troubling. This special item had directly turned his loyal servant against him.
In this situation, Sebas had tried to harm Ainz, the supreme being.
In short, Ainz felt that this kingdom was far more complex than he had anticipated. There were too many unexpected events, making it hard for him to catch his breath.
"Ainz-sama, I think we should start with other countries for the time being. We don't know the full situation here, but we can avoid this kingdom for the time being. This kingdom too strange!"
Demiurge suggested. As the strategist, he believed shifting targets was the best course of action since not every country would pose the same problems.
"Alright, then we will temporarily switch to another country. But remember, none of you should venture out again. I will dispatch armies to handle this matter. In addition, Mare, I make sure to bury the Great Tomb even deeper and change the entrances. And also, use special items for concealment!"
Ainz instructed, as he had suffered a few losses in this kingdom. Although he knew that this kingdom is not simple, he did not expect that there would even be a special item for the mind control in this kingdom. This is too shocking.
So next, Ainz planned to send some of his less important troops. After all, as long as there are corpses, he could always create more of these troops. These undead soldiers were not particularly valuable.
With this plan in motion, Ainz and his Floor Guardians decided to shift their attention to other territories.
Asahi, who had been observing the scene, couldn't help but chuckle. Ainz and his team were indeed cautious and strategic, and Ainz could still be very calm, but after he comes into contact with other countries, it is estimated that he will doubt life again.
After all, except for the country controlled by Renner and the others, there is no other country that can compete with Ainz, unless they used special items to trap him.
After all, Ainz's group consisted of powerful NPCs. Ainz himself is an expert, and no one can resist a Super Magic from him.
Ainz's next targets were the Bloody Emperor and the Lizardmen. The Blood Emperor's appearance was inspired by Gilgamesh, but unfortunately, he only matched Gilgamesh in looks. In terms of leadership, strength, and charisma, he fell far short.
Regardless, Ainz wasn't planning to use diplomacy this time. He was ready for direct confrontation.
