– Ainz –
[Evolution complete.]
…Announced the mysterious voice of this world.
Ainz flexed his fingers slowly, carefully feeling out the changes within his newly evolved body. He no longer felt the strange sensation of shifting between two separate forms. Instead, his being felt entirely whole and integrated, comfortably his own.
His appearance hadn't drastically changed at first glance. He still retained his handsome, ghostly pale human-like face and imposing physique. However, now two large, imposing bone horns protruded from the top of his head, curving upward menacingly. Behind him spread a pair of large wings made entirely of bone. He wondered how they could support flight, considering the weight of solid bone, yet instinctively knew they would carry him with ease.
"Magical shenanigans," he chuckled softly. He turned to observe the subordinates he'd specifically chosen to accompany him. They each appeared pleased, taking in their own enhanced forms with curiosity and pride.
“Did my bust get bigger?” Albedo stood confidently, radiating an alluring presence far stronger than before. She had evolved into a Greater Succubus. Her already captivating aura intensified, her beauty and charm now overwhelming. Her already perfect breasts now looked even fuller and were straining her already tight dress.
He couldn’t wait to see them later…
“Holy shit! I have boobs! Yeeeeeeess!” Shalltear seemed particularly excited. She had become a True Ancestor Vampire. Her pale skin practically glowed. Ainz also noticed that she was now slightly taller…and did she have breasts now? It only looked to be a B-cup but that was still an amazing improvement!
“How very interesting. I feel stronger…” Demiurge adjusted his glasses, nodding thoughtfully. His new race as a Greater Archdevil made his already imposing aura far more pronounced. He didn’t have any obvious physical changes other than that though. Not like the two women.
They all stepped fussing over themselves before stepping closer to Ainz, respectful admiration clear in their expressions.
“Congratulations on your successful evolution, Lord Ainz!” Albedo exclaimed passionately. She smiled lovingly.
Shalltear chimed in immediately, her voice eager and adoring. “My beloved husband looks more magnificent than ever!”
Demiurge inclined his head deeply, his tone reverent and sincere. “Sasuga Ainz-sama. Only you could become a being of such immense power. May I ask what form you've taken now?”
Ainz felt a swell of pride at their praise, standing straighter, his presence commanding. He proudly declared to them, his deep voice steady and authoritative: “I have become an Undead God.”
Their reactions were instant, faces lighting up in fervent admiration.
“An Undead God!” Shalltear gasped reverently. “Magnificent!”
Albedo nodded, hands clasped eagerly. “It suits you perfectly, Lord Ainz.”
Demiurge’s smile was subtle but genuine. “Indeed. Only you are worthy of the title of an Evil God, Ainz-sama.”
Ainz felt a bit embarrassed but managed to maintain his dignified posture, pleased nonetheless at his loyal subordinates’ unwavering devotion.
Their celebration was briefly interrupted as Rimuru Tempest approached casually, raising a hand to wave in greeting.
“Hey there, everyone,” Rimuru called cheerfully, eyes scanning the group with approval. “Glad to see everything worked out smoothly.”
Ainz turned to Rimuru, nodding appreciatively. Indeed, things had worked out better than he'd anticipated. Rimuru’s world, with its unique ability to grant power simply by being there, had proven extraordinarily useful.
He regarded the slime now in human form carefully, noting Rimuru felt significantly more powerful than their last meeting at the Fox Hole. That must have been the result of the “war” Haru had said was going on in Rimuru’s world until recently.
Something about an army of Orcs?
“It certainly did,” Ainz replied. “Your world’s power has far exceeded my expectations. It’s remarkable. Thank’s for allowing us to visit.”
Rimuru grinned proudly. “Glad you liked it. And you’re free to stop by anytime. Seems like you and your friends have powered up nicely too.”
Ainz nodded in agreement, glancing at his pleased subordinates. He felt immensely satisfied, not just from his own increase in power but from watching those loyal to him grow stronger as well.
Rimuru placed his hands on his hips. “Why don’t we go somewhere comfortable, grab some drinks, celebrate properly, and catch up on everything? It’s been a while since Boy's night.”
“Yeah, we really need to have another one of those soon!” Ainz grinned. They all entered the Fox Hole together, the familiar atmosphere immediately making Ainz feel relaxed. The soft chatter and faint laughter around the establishment created a welcoming background noise.
Demiurge glanced toward Ainz, adjusting his glasses with his usual composed demeanor. "Lord Ainz, if it's acceptable, I'd like to pay Milady Sona a quick visit a few towns over," he requested respectfully.
Ainz gave Demiurge a nod of approval. "Of course, Demiurge. Have a good time."
With a small, surprisingly genuine smile, Demiurge left quietly.
Ainz found it strange—his most notoriously evil subordinate in an actual relationship—but it worked out well for everyone. Demiurge being busy with a romantic interest meant fewer disturbing schemes. He decided that was definitely something he could support.
Turning his attention back to Albedo and Shalltear, Ainz considered them carefully. While they'd grown significantly friendlier since they'd both started regularly sharing his bed, they still traded sharp glances and occasional barbs. Even now, Albedo was giving Shalltear a smug, superior look, while Shalltear responded with a defiant glare.
He sighed internally. He wasn't entirely sure if their newfound closeness was going to make his life easier or far more complicated, but at the moment, things were undeniably pleasant. "Albedo, Shalltear," he said gently, earning their immediate attention, "I'd like to speak with Rimuru for a while. Would you two mind grabbing a table together?"
"Certainly, Lord Ainz," Albedo responded instantly, gracefully grabbing Shalltear by the arm and steering her toward an open table.
"Try not to cause trouble," he added, mostly to Shalltear, who responded with a playful wink and a mischievous grin.
Ainz shook his head slightly, resigned to the mild chaos his two lovers caused. Satisfied they wouldn't cause a disturbance for now, Ainz moved to join Rimuru at the bar. Rimuru had already taken a seat, casually leaning forward and chatting with Haru. Ainz sat beside him, offering a small greeting nod to Haru. His friend, the fox-eared bartender, seemed to be in a very cheerful mood today, his tails swishing behind him in lazy, satisfied motions.
Rimuru noticed as well, shooting Haru a knowing smirk. "Well, that's definitely the look of a guy who got laid last night."
Haru laughed warmly, pouring them each a drink with practiced ease. "Damn right," he admitted without shame. "Had a pretty incredible night with a gorgeous dragon MILF." His eyes twinkled with amusement as he slid their drinks across the counter.
Rimuru chuckled, lifting his drink in a toast to Haru. "To MILFs, the greatest of all women! Long may they reign as the best Waifus!"
Haru grinned broadly, looking thoroughly pleased with himself, before turning toward Rimuru again. "So, how have things been going for you? Last I heard, you had some kind of war going on. Has that all wrapped up?"
Rimuru sipped from his beer, nodding thoughtfully. "Yeah, it's finally finished. I devoured the Orc Lord during the final battle, so now I'm a whole lot stronger than I was before! Plus, all the surviving orcs joined my side, meaning Tempest Village is about to expand massively. I'm going to need a real city soon just to house them all."
Ainz listened closely, considering Rimuru's words carefully. A city for monsters. It was an intriguing concept, one he hadn't really considered before. Nazarick would always be his true home, reserved exclusively for himself and those loyal to him, but the idea of creating something larger—a place where all sorts of creatures could live together openly—held a certain appeal.
"A city of monsters, huh?" Ainz murmured thoughtfully, taking a sip of his own drink. "That's an interesting idea. Maybe it's worth trying something like that in my own world someday..."
– Haru –
"I hope one day we can have territories like that—places where humans and supernaturals live peacefully," I said with a sigh, wiping down the bar counter absentmindedly. “It’s not something that’s gonna happen soon though in my world, especially not with most supernaturals still hating each other.”
Rimuru tilted his head thoughtfully. "Did something happen while I was at war?"
"We had some trouble recently. A crazy fallen angel tried to attack me in Kyoto to disrupt the peace and start another great war," I explained.
Rimuru nearly choked on his beer, coughing for a second before looking up sharply. "Wait—Is Yasaka okay?"
I shot a glare at the short blue-haired slime sitting across from me. "What do you mean, is my mom okay? I was the one attacked." I deadpanned at him.
This guy….
He awkwardly cleared his throat and took another nervous sip of his beer. "Er… right, sorry. I mean, you're obviously fine, so I was just worried about—"
"My mom's fine," I cut him off with an annoyed sigh, crossing my arms as I stared at him. "You know, if you're so interested, you can just visit her anytime. The backdoors to my restaurant are always open for travel between worlds."
‘He can go and get turned down in person!’ I thought to myself in annoyance.
Rimuru began fidgeting nervously under both my and Ainz's stares. He muttered something quietly, almost under his breath.
I caught it clearly with my sensitive fox ears, but Ainz looked confused. "What was that?" the undead god asked, leaning closer.
"I said I've never had a girlfriend before," Rimuru finally admitted, cheeks slightly flushed with embarrassment.
I chuckled and pointed to Ainz. "Neither did he, until like two weeks ago."
"Hey!" Ainz protested, pouting slightly. "That was supposed to stay private between us guys!"
Rimuru suddenly lifted his beer and drained the entire glass in a single go, slamming it back down on the counter. Then, with a loud sigh, he dramatically lowered his forehead onto the bar.
"Oh great and wise Kyuubi Haru," Rimuru began theatrically, his voice full of exaggerated reverence. "The greatest chef in all the worlds—"
I felt a grin spreading across my face, enjoying this ridiculous show of begging. "Keep going. I'm liking where this is heading..."
"Please," Rimuru declared loudly, raising his head and looking me directly in the eyes with determination. "Help me get with your sexy foxy mother, Yasaka!"
Nevermind…I definitely didn't like where this had ended up.
Suddenly, the entire restaurant fell silent. All eyes turned toward Rimuru, then shifted to me. My smirk instantly faded as embarrassment flooded through me.
From the corner of the restaurant, where he was sitting with his wife Serena, Agnar raised his mugs enthusiastically. "That's the spirit, Rimuru!" he cheered even as his vampire wife slapped him.
Albedo and Shalltear, seated nearby, covered their mouths and tried unsuccessfully to hide their amused laughter behind their hands. Ainz merely shook his head, trying to conceal his own amused grin behind his pale hand.
Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the front door swung open. My little sister Kunou walked in cheerfully, then froze mid-step upon hearing Rimuru's declaration.
Her eyes widened dramatically as she stared at Rimuru, then at me, confusion and shock written clearly on her face. "Eeeeeehhhh?!" she cried out loudly.
I watched nervously as Kunou marched straight toward us, eyes burning with indignation. Before Rimuru had even finished spinning around in his stool, my little sister stopped in front of him and crossed her arms defiantly.
"You're not my dad!" she snapped, delivering a surprisingly strong kick right to Rimuru's shin.
Rimuru let out a sharp yelp of pain, clutching his leg as he winced. "Ow! Hey, wait—!"
Without giving him a chance to finish, Kunou turned on her heels and sprinted back toward the door. She vanished through it, leaving behind nothing but a stunned silence.
I sighed deeply, rubbing the bridge of my nose. Yeah, Kunou still wasn't over our father's death, even though she barely remembered him. It didn't help matters that she was especially protective of Mom whenever someone showed romantic interest.
Rimuru sat groaning, rubbing his shin and muttering to himself. "Damn, she kicks way harder than a little girl should…"
Next to him, Ainz quietly snickered into his drink, clearly amused by Rimuru's misfortune.
Before I could even attempt damage control, the restaurant door swung open again. This time, however, it was my turn to get nervous.
In walked Aela, Rias, Jane, Naruko, Alice, and Irene—all of my “confirmed” girlfriends—together. In a single group.
Minus Sansa and Catelyn, I supposed.
I suddenly felt extremely aware of their collective gaze on me, and my heartbeat picked up speed.
They settled at a large table in the middle, sending mischievous grins my way. After some hushed discussion and a few pointed giggles, Alice stood up and approached the counter, smiling playfully as she leaned against it.
"Hey, Haru," she greeted warmly, eyes sparkling with amusement.
"Girls' night out?" I asked cautiously, already feeling a bit of heat rising in my cheeks.
Alice's smile widened. "Unofficially. We're all here to officially welcome Irene into our little… sisterhood."
"Sisterhood?" I repeated weakly, glancing nervously toward the table where Irene blushed and waved shyly. Despite the fact that we’d spent hours last night fucking…
That was kind of a crass way to describe it but that’s pretty much what it comes down to when you’re with an incredibly horny dragoness.
Alice just chuckled knowingly, then her expression suddenly shifted into concern. "By the way, we saw Kunou running out of here in tears. What happened?"
I shot a sharp glare toward Rimuru, who was still nursing his leg. "That was Rimuru's fault."
Alice turned her attention to Rimuru, her playful demeanor vanishing instantly. She frowned deeply, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "What exactly did you do?"
Rimuru swallowed hard, visibly intimidated by Alice’s sudden seriousness. "Look, I—I didn't mean to upset her! I was totally serious! I really do like Yasaka and want to properly court her. But… I don't know how to start, alright? I kind of just blurted it out… loudly."
I shook my head and decided to multitask while Alice grilled Rimuru. I pulled out my phone, quickly sending texts to Tanya and Mom, asking them to keep an eye out for Kunou. Knowing her, she'd probably head straight back to Kyoto. But it was better safe than sorry.
Ainz shifted beside me, leaning his elbows casually against the bar counter as he glanced at Rimuru, then back toward me. "Honestly, Rimuru does sound sincere enough," he admitted. "But you definitely don't have to help him out. That’s a pretty serious betrayal of the bro code, isn’t it?"
I ran a hand through my hair, scratching absently at my fox ears as they twitched in mild annoyance. "Yeah, no kidding," I muttered, giving Rimuru a mild glare before sighing. "Look, Rimuru. If you're really dead-set on courting my mom, you need to do it properly."
Rimuru perked up slightly, clearly hopeful I wasn't completely against the idea. "What do you mean by 'properly'?"
"My mom—Yasaka—isn't just anyone," I explained patiently, crossing my arms as I leaned back against the bar. "She's still technically the queen of Kyoto, basically in charge of Japan’s supernatural side. She deserves respect."
Rimuru nodded seriously. "Of course. I'd never think otherwise. What should I do?"
"Well, for starters," I began, tapping a finger thoughtfully against my chin, "you'll need a proper gift. Mom loves collecting ancient Japanese artifacts—especially rare, valuable, or culturally significant pieces. It'd show you're serious."
Rimuru groaned quietly, leaning his head into his hands. "Ancient Japanese artifacts? How am I even supposed to get something like that?" He frowned deeply. "I can't just go to your world—or some other Earth—and start stealing random stuff."
Surprisingly, Alice was the one who stepped in to answer that. "Actually, nobody would care if you did some raiding in Japan in my world. It's basically a zombie-infested hellhole now."
Rimuru blinked at her, clearly surprised. "Wait, what?"
Alice sighed deeply, frustration visible in her tense posture. "My world's Japan is practically lost. Even with me making regular trips there every week to fight Umbrella, I’m barely making a dent. The T-virus infection just keeps spreading. Humans keep getting wiped out. It's honestly getting worse every day…" she sighed.
"T-virus? What's that?" Rimuru asked.
Alice frowned grimly. After a short pause, she explained, "My world used to be pretty normal until an evil megacorporation called Umbrella decided to create bioweapons. One of their creations—something called the T-virus—escaped containment and spread rapidly across the globe." Her eyes darkened with bitter memories as she continued. "It infects all organic life. Humans, animals, even plants mutate into aggressive, flesh-eating monsters. Japan got hit particularly hard because it was their original headquarters."
Rimuru let out a low whistle. "Whoa. That's hardcore. And you want me to go into a place like that and start… looting museums?" he asked while tilting his head.
Alice shrugged carelessly. "It's not like anyone left alive is going to care. Almost everyone's dead, and those who aren't have far bigger problems than missing artifacts. Trust me, no one's going to miss whatever you take. If anything, you'd be helping preserve my world’s history. Especially with what I was planning at this point."
I turned to Alice, curious about what she meant by her comment. "What exactly were you planning?"
She paused and turned to face me seriously. "The fight in my world is pretty much lost at this point. Humanity is barely holding on. We're outnumbered and overwhelmed everywhere we go. It's gotten bad enough that I've started seriously considering more drastic options."
I raised an eyebrow, urging her silently to continue.
Alice took a deep breath before she finally said, "It's time to go all out…"
That got my attention. I stared at her, not quite believing what I'd just heard. "Wait, you mean—?"
"Yeah," she said firmly, meeting my gaze without flinching. "I want you to come to my world. Specifically, Tokyo. Umbrella's secret—and largest—facility is hidden deep within the heart of the city. Conventional raids and guerilla tactics aren't working anymore, so I need you to use your full power to utterly obliterate their entire complex!"
Hot damn, she wasn’t fucking around with that request.
I leaned back slightly, letting out a low whistle as I considered her request. "If you're looking for pure, total destruction, you'd probably be better off asking someone like Milim," I pointed out carefully. "She’d jump at the chance to blow shit up."
Alice chuckled softly, shaking her head with a small, amused smile. "Milim might actually be indisposed for the next few days… She got really embarrassed about something earlier. It was honestly adorable."
I blinked, curious about what exactly had embarrassed Milim enough to keep her away. Before I could ask, Rimuru suddenly jumped into the conversation, leaning forward eagerly.
"I'll do it!" Rimuru nodded firmly. "I’ll loot all the biggest museums if I have to!” He stared at me seriously. “Well it's not really robbery since everyone's dead, but you get what I mean.”
I stared at him back… and let out a sigh.
I wasn’t helping him out. He was on his own, especially when it came to trying to get Kunou to like him too, but I wasn’t going to get in his way.
Whether or not he actually succeeded?
Meh, I gave him odds like 30% of succeeding honestly.
I had actually talked to mom about him a few days ago, and she had basically told me that she’d found Rimuru to be handsome in that “bishonen” kind of way but she usually preferred her partners to look more like grown men. She just found it pretty fun to flirt with people in general.
Suddenly, Ainz stood up beside him, raising a finger dramatically towards the ceiling. "Hold on! If Haru is going to blow up a significant part of that world’s Tokyo, then I must also do my part—to preserve important Japanese culture!" he declared with complete seriousness.
I wondered where he was going with this…
Alice narrowed her eyes at him, clearly skeptical. "Wait a minute—how do you even know what Japanese culture is?"
Ainz froze immediately, eyes widening in sudden panic as he realized he'd slipped up badly. He shot me a desperate glance, silently begging for help.
Right. Almost no one knew that Ainz was basically an isekai character who used to be human. I'd never betray a bro's secret, so I quickly scrambled to come up with a believable lie.
"Oh, that's my fault," I jumped in smoothly, giving Alice a casual shrug. "I've been trying to get him into Japanese culture—anime, manga, light novels, games—the usual stuff. He’s become a real fan lately."
Alice considered this for a moment, then relaxed visibly, accepting my explanation easily enough. "Fair enough," she finally said with a small smile. "I've actually started getting into some of that myself, lately..." she said.
“Umu, I see you are a woman of culture as well…”
My zombie killing girlfriend just gave him a deadpan stare for that comment. She then fluttered her eyes at me and asked if I wanted to help her kill her sworn enemies.
I grinned back at her and told her of course I would help.
XXX
Will Rimuru succeed or fail? Honestly it's gonna be funny either way to me. I'll let the comments decide.
More importantly! Ainz is a man on a mission to save as many games and anime figurines as possible! The full forces of Nazarick will be deployed for such an important task! They will no doubt be very confused though…

Don't care if rimuru succeeds or fails, just don't want the incest options. He has enough females already, it's nice to just have a good mother figure in a story for once.
Keith Lighthill
I'm going to be saying a big no to the two of them getting together xD just doesn't seem right to me
Ariakan
Listen here: ADA WONG X YASAKA!
Titan
If the only options are either the slime or incest then I chose the slime. But i would prefer someone else. Preferably older from another world. Maybe one that doesn't actually have any ties or major responsibilities in their original world.
Rycork
I ask the Resident Evil connoisseur how the virus spread across the world. From memory, in the movies, it was a gas that spread with the wind. If that's the case, isn't it risky to transport objects from one dimension to another? They've been contaminated and will bring the virus into the DXD world.
cameron stewart
Yes they should!!!
Ozev
I vote in favor of rimuru. Bro needs a w
LuciferDFallN1
Honestly I would have given Ainz a better chance at winning Yasaka than Rimuru... Hell even his EOS form looked like an 17 year old at best
Bio_Bill
Pretty sure there is a 'Dominate Undead' spell used in Overlord before so it is an option. He'd just have quarantine them all to prevent an outbreak on his world, unless that's what he wants to happen.
TheZombieDoc
Please let that end amicably.
KingD
fuck the hell no, Rimaru and Yasaka is a no go. No fucking way
FirstDemo
On the whole, I wasn't particularly pleased to hear about Yasaka and Rimura, I would have accepted it if it had been somewhere behind the scenes, but when it was so obvious, I felt uneasy, but this is my problem as a collector, so I don't condemn, but I don't accept either, huh. But if you make out one paragraph, Yasaka was just flirting, and Rimuru was really sincere... Yes, and then we have men who don't understand how to deal with women, considering that even the one who found you cute and even flirted with you... She won't want to be with you, like... Auf... Sad. (English is not my native language, it was done by a translator.)
D3AD3CHO
Do you do votes or how do you decide what fic you write next as I've been wanting a new chapter for titan for a while now
Chad
Honor the code above all. Don’t think rimuru should get her. Be funny watching her tease the hell out of him though.
Corey Dagenais
As interesting as it would be for yasaka and rimuru to end up together it would break the bro code do sorry lil slime buddy but it ain't going to work out
WhatAFungi
I bet Ainz will take control of all the zombies. He’s a GOD OF DEATH! What better way to get soldiers than to conscript them from a dead world. It’s a win-win-win-win-win-lose. Umbrella loses Thanks for the chapter!
Kris Valentine
Gonna have to say no. Be kind of messed up if your mom was dating your friend.
Josh
Rimuru has Shion and Shuna who love him and Yasaka should be a thing. Second friends don't bang there friends mom. If you have to go with someone for Yasaka maby add kazuma kiryu
Kazahana
I would say fail bro code above all.
Michael Mounts
Im kinda looking forward to a YASAKA Harem personally, and getting lots of Katana or Nodachi or Wazachi, then can gift or use... hell yes
MartinHappenedToBeHere
I don't really like the idea of rimuru getting with yasaka that is a serious breach of the bro code. No true brother goes and fucks your mom that is just not done. This would make the relationship between Haru and Rimuru very awkard and I think that that should be avoided.
A_Very_Quiet_Cat
I think it would be cute if Rimuru succeeded, or gets a soft success at the least. like they're relationship moves a little slowly due to them both being leaders.
Pamarcy
While it could be possible, I just don't think it would work out. Yasaka and Rimuru are both leaders of their respective groups, finding time to date and get to know each other would be difficult, and if they DO get into a serious relationship, it would end with one having to leave their world behind if they get married. So I just can't see the relationship working out long term.
Dave
Eh I don’t really want Yasaka to get with Rimuru, I really don’t want the incest route some people have been recommending either. Tbh it’d be neat is she gets with some cool old guy in a later world. Like Bang, Whitebeard/Garp, or even Roshi could be funny.
Danciingbread
I say nay to the slime
TheRavenbrand
No no rimaru and yakasha... Rimaru is a friend of haru don't mess up the relationship.
Eduardo Martinez
He should fail a few times, like Yasaka not taking his confessions THAT seriously until he really proves his courtship is truly genuine and not an impulsive or passing lust/love.
Alita
Haru *swoons* “of course darling”
Alita
Alice *flutters eyelashes* “will you help me blow up and slaughter some evil bad guys?”
Red Dragon
Give Kunou a father figure
StarSmith
I say, Rimuru will get a one night stand at the minimum
Lupus Umbras
Let him fail at first. Make him really try
