Chapter 44: New World VII

Chapter 44: New World VII

Six people stood on a raised platform in a dimly lit room. The room looked like the inside of a chapel, and the people were wearing pope-like clothes. All of them were aged, with wrinkles apparent on their faces.

These were the six cardinals of the Slane Theocracy.

???: "What do you mean? The Sunlight Scripture has gone missing?"

One of the cardinals, who looked like a gentle old man, spoke angrily to the kneeling figure. He was the Cardinal of Wind, Dominic Ihre Partouche. Anger was clear on his face.

???: "Control yourself, Dominic."

The youngest of the cardinals spoke calmly. He was the Cardinal of Earth and commander of the Six Scriptures. He was also a member of the highest authority within the Slane Theocracy. His name was, Raymond Zarg Lauransan.

Because of his higher status, Dominic calmed down. Raymond then looked toward the kneeling figure.

Raymond: "You may speak, Elysia."

Elysia, more formerly known as the 7th Seat of the Black Scripture, the Thousand League Astrologer, was kneeling before the Cardinals. She had a short stature, light brown hair, and orange eyes. She wore a female school uniform and purple-framed glasses. She was responsible for intelligence gathering.

Elysia: "When the captain of the Sunlight Scripture didn't contact me for a day, I decided to check for their whereabouts. But, even after searching for hours, I couldn't find their location."

The Cardinals went into deep contemplation, their expressions growing more serious with each passing moment.

Raymond: "What about the crystal with a trigger that would inform you if he used it."

Elysia: "I was never informed, meaning he didn't have the chance to use it. Also, after checking for a bit, I did find signs of a battle, but the perpetrator remains a mystery."

Hearing this, the Cardinals went into a heated debate.

???: "Could it be the Catastrophe Dragon Lord?"

The Cardinal of Fire spoke; she was the only female Cardinal. She was an elderly woman with a well-fed face bearing a motherly smile, which put all who looked upon it at ease. Her name was Berenice Nagua Santini.

???: "There is a possibility of that."

Zinedine Delan Guelfi, the Cardinal of Water, spoke. He had a long face with long brown hair.

Raymon: "What do you think, Elysia?"

Elysia: "I don't think it's the Catastrophe Dargon Lord. According to my prediction, he shouldn't be revived yet. But we can't rule out the possibility."

Dominic: "I say we send the Black Scripture. If someone can eliminate a whole scripture, only the Holocaust or Black Scripture has the strength to beat them."

In the original series, when the Sunlight Scripture was defeated by Ainz, the Black Scripture was preparing itself for the revival of the Catastrophe Dragon Lord. They would use the 'Downfall of Castle and Country' to subdue it. That's when they encountered Shalltear.

Berenice: "I agree, and because the Holocaust Scripture is busy with the elves, that leaves us with the Black Scripture."

Raymond: "So, that's what we'd do. Everyone agrees?"

All the Cardinals nodded their heads.

Raymond: "So, it's decided. Elysia, call the captain of the Black Scripture here."

I clicked on my name, and sure enough, there was an option to break the Level limit.

Momonga: 'It freaking worked!!'

I was very excited now that the next part of my plan could officially start.

~Scene Change~

I was standing in one of the rooms of the Greek-styled castle on the 11th Floor. The Emmot sisters' corpses were laid bare on the white marble tables. Thea had already healed their wounds.

I needed these two to cement my position as a powerful entity in the New World. This was also why I introduced myself as Ramses in Carne and to Gazef.

I wanted to become the Master of Ramses, but I needed Ramses' name to be spread far and wide for the starters. And I saved the Emmot sisters to show the world that I could train powerful people out of peasants.

I planned to introduce myself as Ramses and Enri as powerful adventurers in the New World, and Nfirea would recognize Enri, causing rumors to spread that the Ramses' Master can train peasants to become powerful people.

Of course, this was a very watered-down version of the plan, but it was the gist of it.

I first needed to rewrite Enri's personality and memories to get started with the plan. I could use spells, skills, or items from Yggdrasil. Still, ultimately, I decided to use one of my favorite techniques from my past life.

I chose this technique because it was impossible to break it, even if someone ascended to Rank 2. The only way to break it was to reach Rank 1 and consolidate your soul.

But first, I needed to ensure that her memories and sense of self were completely destroyed. I placed her dead body on the floor, where an intricate magic circle was already drawn.

Placing her in the middle of the circle, I moved back to one of its sides and put a small black orb. It was an item I made back in the Yggdrasil that could hold an absurd amount of MP.

According to its Flavor Text, it could hold 100,000 points of MP and be refilled. I needed the MP to activate the technique to destroy her memories and sense of self.

Momonga: 'Everything seems to be in order.'

I thought while rechecking the magic circle. After ensuring everything was correct, I raised my right hand over one of its sides and activated it.

Momonga: Activate: Self Obliteration!

As I spoke the command, the circle began glowing red; this meant that the technique was activated without a problem.

Momonga: 'Now we wait.'

I thought while looking at the shining circle. It would take some time before it is done.

After 10 minutes, the circle glowed green, which meant the technique was successful. And now her memories of living in the Carne and her sense of self should have been destroyed.

Then, a red light exited her forehead and entered mine. These were her memories, and I needed those to create the fake memories.

I closed my eyes and began going through her memories. After 5 minutes, I was done.

Momonga: 'Time for the next step.'

Now that her mind was like a clean slate, I could draw anything. Picking her up again, I placed her in another circle. This circle would be responsible for the creation of her new memories.

To Be Continued...

A/N: Also I have decided to make an executive decision that will likely make people angry, to not write any R18 scenes. They will be insinuate but never written in whole detail. And sadly, I can't reveal the reason, sorry. You'll need to use your imaginations for the lemons yourself.
