Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball Wars!.

Killing Imperial soldiers?

Reasons and explanations?

As a former member of society, Ainz was a little unsure of the other party's intention in asking this question.

Essentially, doing this is an act of trying to get "attention" first.

Because he was not a complete demon king before, it was related to his "little reputation" in the past.

After learning that Berserker was also a Demon Lord, Ainz naturally wanted to fight for that "status".

After all, the first one will always have special points of discussion.

Since he had never heard of Rimuru's name before, he had this thought.

blame?

Attack?

dissatisfied?

(Of course, after all, if someone robs you of your only first-hand item in the game, you’ll be pretty angry.)

Ainz wondered if Rimuru had any grudges against him, so he thought about it and decided to come up with another excuse.

"Because they were going to attack me."

"Such a grand expedition."

"I just fought back."

Ainz answered without any emotion, but he did not panic at all.

Anyway, no one else would know that the empire was being dominated.

Unless the emperor has revealed it privately, there is no risk of exposure.

"Fight back? That's not necessarily the case, is it?"

"Ainz Ooal Gown"

"Don't say that the news that suddenly spread was accidental."

Hearing this, Rimuru’s voice gradually turned colder.

When he's stupid?

Even without Raphael's reminder, he knew what the rumors that suddenly spread among the people were about.

Just kidding, if it was really a coincidence, it wouldn’t have fermented to the extent it is now.

It is conceivable that this was a carefully planned incident.

Why did the empire launch the expedition?

Such a large army was mobilized without any warning at all.

Moreover, using such a large number to fight against the undead is a bit of a luxury.

According to Rimuru's understanding of the "local" world, this kind of expeditionary nature is usually left to adventurers, and the military is rarely used.

Not to mention mobilizing so many people.

If there was no secret, Rimuru really wouldn't believe it.

He himself also knows the requirements to become a demon king.

And I have done similar things before, so I won’t be confused.

Therefore, Rimuru questioned Rider purely because she wanted to know what he was thinking.

(As expected, is he concerned about the Demon King's element?)

(Um)

However, Ainz, the person involved, could not help but misunderstand.

Rimuru wanted to know what his purpose and mood were when he killed the imperial soldiers.

If it was like him, someone was plotted against, and a large number of his companions were killed, and he had no choice but to resist, Rimuru could understand.

But if he did it intentionally just for the power and status of the Demon King, then he couldn't accept it.

But in Ainz's eyes, Rimuru might just be dissatisfied with the title of "Demon King".

After all, the improvement brought by the "Demon King" is real.

With such a generous "reward", it's natural to want to be the first to win.

The latecomers will definitely not receive the same "treatment" as the former.

"I was indeed the one who planned this matter."

"After all, only in this way can we fully obtain the true power of the Demon King."

"You should know this very well."

"In this war, I am lacking something, so I must find a way to make up for it."

"To this end, necessary killing is indispensable."

There is no point in hiding it. As a fellow demon king, how could he not see the clues?

It is better to admit it and then explain the benefits to it.

It's difficult.

If you can just give away some precious props and the other party won't mind, it would save you a lot of trouble.

I'm afraid if I do this and Berserker doesn't agree, that would be troublesome.

"Knew it."

"I can give you some rare items as compensation."

"no need."

(Rejected so quickly?)

It's like a salesperson who tries to sell a product but is refused to leave before he even introduces it.

Ainz's heart groaned, and he felt that the other party was being too irrational.

No matter what, you should listen and think about it, right?

Could it be that Berserker is actually a very "emotional" player type?

This type of people usually don't care about the consequences. They just emphasize "If you provoke me, I will definitely make you suffer at all costs."

It’s not like Ainz has never encountered this before. In fact, there are quite a lot of players who have this kind of emotion.

Miscalculated.

If Berserker is really this kind of person, then the alliance invited today may really have no chance of success.

Just the matter of the "devil king" is hard to explain.

After all, he is the one who makes a profit and the other party suffers "harm".

But looking at Rimuru's expression, he felt something was wrong.

Why does he have that expression?

It's like a "breakup".

Did he misunderstand something?

Ainz thought carefully about what he had said before, trying to remember if he had said anything wrong.

What puzzled Ainz was Rimuru's attitude from beginning to end.

From calm to disappointment and then to speechlessness

It made him a little confused as to what the person in front of him was thinking.

(If it’s not just the Demon King’s fault, then what else could it be?)

(Killing of soldiers. Explanation and reasons.)

(Is this what he cares about?)

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he had grasped the key point.

As a demon king, would he care about the death of humans?

Ainz thought that was impossible.

How could there be such an "outlier"?

Theoretically speaking, the other party must have done something similar to have the complete power of the devil.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to have such a "compassionate" mentality.

"Rider"

"You seem to have gotten one thing wrong all along."

Rimuru’s voice gradually became clearer, and the meaning of her words made Ainz feel that the situation was beyond his expectations.

"I never cared about the identity of the Demon King."

"Rather, if it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't choose to become a demon king."

"You are trying to become a demon king. I will not stop you from doing this, but your actions..."

"I don't agree with that."

Staring at Ainz, Rimuru expressed her original thoughts.

The status of the devil?

This is not what he has ever cared about.

Together with those friends, they established a kingdom of monsters and forged friendship with humans.

Rimuru's wish is to be able to live in peace and hold parties every day.

Kill other creatures, unify the world, enslave, etc.

Rimuru had never thought about this.

It would be better to say that he had no intention of actively harming anyone.

The opportunity to become a demon king was also because he was "forced" by the invaders who killed his companions.

The undead in front of him was the opposite. This guy became a demon king just for his own personal calculations.

At the expense of others

"Rider"

"We are both demon kings."

"I'm different from you!"
