In the clearing of the forest, five figures were eating barbecue around a boxy bonfire and discussing the next steps to find and repel the Bloodline named "Loya".

Thor picked up the hammer and shouted: "Anyway, this world is hopeless, it's better to turn this world upside down!" I don't believe that if you look for the whole world, you won't find any trace of that guy! ”

Poros nodded, agreeing with Thor's idea: "That's right, although it is troublesome, but it is the best way, we can also eradicate the lair of those blood clans by the way, but it is too much of a waste of time, but we can also buy a teleportation scroll in the group or let Anz and the god of lights directly teleport us to various locations in this world, with our current strength, we can naturally easily find ......"

"No way!" Ainz directly dismissed this idea, "We were able to escape from that guy's clutches thanks to Steve in the first place, and if we disperse in this situation, it would be tantamount to suicide!" It is more prudent to take a long-term view on the premise of unity. ”

Steve didn't speak, just silently roasted the raw meat on the campfire to stock up on the extra food.

Seeing this, the lamp god on the side was amazed: "This bonfire is really strange, no fuel can burn for so long."

"Yes, one charcoal and a few pieces of wood can burn to the end of the world." Steve also made a rare joke, but as for whether he was really joking, or whether this campfire was really so powerful, they didn't know the lamp god.

"To be honest," Ainz said in a tone that suddenly became a little indifferent, "we're not really good people, and the destruction of this world doesn't matter to us, but ......"

Everyone looked at Ainz.

“…… But, after all, it is also the hometown of one of our group members, and the world is to him like my feelings for the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik, and although he has said that he has no nostalgia for this world anymore, we can't go too far. ”

After the lyricism, the Bone King went on to state his plan: "Since the other party feeds on blood, we might as well probe the nearby breath of life, and the place where the breath of life is strongest or the most barren is most likely their base."

In the end, he also sighed: "I knew that I brought Shatiya...... Forget it, anyway, Shatiya and them are not from the same race of the same world, and if you bring Shatiya and them, they may be affected. ”

Poros also sighed: "You look like a villain more than me, but in fact you are also a guy who cares a lot about your companions!" And your companion is also more serious (?) It's not like my men, all of them are guys who eat inside and out. ”

"Do you all have men? I usually fight alone! Because I feel like it's more fun to fight alone! Thor said, sitting cross-legged on a rock, holding his face.

"Subordinate ......"

For some reason, four figures suddenly appeared in Steve's mind.

A white-clad bare-eyed

A man with a black body and white eyes

A purple-robed skeleton

A greatsword knight

In a daze, Steve suddenly passed out.

"Steve? Steve! ”

When everyone saw Steve fall, they thought he was injured there, but Steve quickly got up as if he was fine, and he didn't see anything unusual at all......

No! It's really unusual!

Because Steve's blue-purple eyes suddenly turned white! And it was the eerie glow of a light bulb for a moment, but it only lasted for a short 0.2 seconds, and then Steve returned to normal.

But it was this short 0.2 seconds that the aura generated directly made the other four people couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and even the slightly weaker Boros and the Lamp God almost fell to the ground!

"This ...... What the hell is this ......?"

Ainz was about to ask, who would have thought that four more coercive pressures were surging towards them!

"Again...... What ......"

This time the pressure was not as heavy as the oppression just now, but it also made it a little difficult for them to breathe and move.

The four of them struggled to look up, only to see four god-like figures strolling through the void towards them, but their real target was Steve in front of them.

"Lord!" The black skeleton holding the lava greatsword stood on the ground, knelt on one knee, and made a look of allegiance, "It's too late!" Please! ”

Then the pitch-black Null (Zero) also made a respectful one-knee gesture to Steve.

As for Entity 303 and the Dreadlord, although they didn't treat Steve as respectfully as Null and Necromantic Knight, they also lowered their heads in a posture ready to be punished.

Steve looked at the four members of the group who were kneeling over there, and then at the four guys who inexplicably called themselves masters, tilted his head and scratched his head in confusion, and said, "Anyway...... Who the hell are you? ”

When the four guys heard this, they suddenly looked up at Steve in shock: "You...... I see, you're not you anymore......"

"It's okay, we'll wait for you, and the day you regain your memories we'll be your most loyal and powerful subordinates again!"

"As for ...... now"

They looked at the four kneeling guys behind Steve: "Lord, these weak can't help the wind (?) Isn't that your current slave? It's so weak! It's not worthy of your honorable status! ”

Steve just wanted to explain, but these four weirdos said directly: "In order not to be in danger before you recover your memory and strength, the four of us will take it upon ourselves to strengthen these four guys, and I hope the Lord will not punish them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Steve saw a small piece of unknown amorphous substance separate from the bodies of these four guys, and then merged into the bodies of the four Ainz Ones.

The necromancer bestowed some of his power on Ainz; Null gave some of his power to the god of lights; The Necro Knight gave some of his power to Thor; Entity 303 has given some of its power to Boros.

"Lord...... Leave! ”

When they had finished speaking, they departed one after another.

The debut of the four guys, who went from the appearance to the exit for less than three minutes, made an indelible impression on the five of them.

After a long time, the four of them slowly got up from the ground, only to find that somehow they felt very strange physically.

It's like ...... Advanced?

The four of them sat down in unison to feel their current strength, but they made expressions that were even more surprised than when they had just seen the four guys.

"What...... What? ”×4

"Hey, what's wrong?" Steve, who couldn't figure out the situation, wondered, "Why did you make this expression?" And what did those four guys do to you just now? ”

"My strength ......" all four of them replied in unison, "Actually directly upgraded by one level?!" ”

Among them, Thor's strength has basically reached level eleven, which is already at the same level as his father Odin!

Even the weakest Boros has reached level 10 in strength, so it can be said that destroying most of the super galaxy should not be a problem!

Such an improvement is actually just Steve's former subordinate (seemingly) at the mercy of him?!

Poros put his hand on Steve's square shoulder and asked in a slightly subtle tone, "Hey! I said, big brother, you won't be the same as the group leader, right? Is it a creator god who hides and pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger and experiences life? ”

But Steve didn't remember anything, so he could only answer honestly: "I don't know, maybe I was once a creation god, right?" But now I'm just a survivor, and I'm just an ordinary member of this chat group, and everything before has nothing to do with me, that's all. ”

The other four people present silently complained in their hearts: "You can pretend to be ...... better than the boss"

Steve couldn't read minds either, so he didn't know what was going on in their minds, so he asked them curiously, "So did you just gain any special abilities?" I remember that the leader of the group once said that the things given by the true gods can not only improve the strength, but also get some of the gods' abilities. ”

"Ability? I don't know. ”

They didn't get any inheritance memories or anything like that, so they could only slowly explore their current abilities.

Thor suddenly stood up and smashed the large rock behind him with a hammer, and the remnants of the stone were still churning with electricity, and it looked as if he would be injured if he touched it.

"What are you doing?" Others felt that Thor's behavior was somewhat inexplicable.

As a warrior, Thor's answer was this: "Familiarize yourself with your abilities!"

"As a warrior! The most important thing is not the improvement of strength, but to have an all-round understanding of one's own ability! Is it possible for a warrior who is unfamiliar with his abilities to defeat an opponent who is similar to his own strength or even surpasses him? This is one of my most dear tenets as the god of war! ”

The others looked at him deeply, and then said solemnly, "You...... There's an ant nest under the smashed stones, uh~ maybe it's a mixed nest of insects. ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"Because...... Forget it, you'd better take a look at it yourself! ”

Thor glanced down......

"Wow, ahhhh What the hell is this! Don't climb on me! ”

The lamp god was speechless: "Isn't it, Thor is actually afraid of insects?"

Thor hurriedly explained: "I'm not afraid of bugs!" I've just never seen a bug this big! Yes! And beetles! ”

At this time, Ainz glanced at Thor, who was pinching the "beetle", and said, "It is necessary to remind you a little, it is not a beetle, but ......"

"What is it?!" Thor suddenly felt a chill on his body, and even forgot to use his own thunder and lightning divine power.

Ainz hesitated for a moment: "...... It is a large cockroach, and the common name of the sickle is also known as the species called cockroach. ”

"Cockroaches, cockroaches—"

"Cockroaches?!"

Obviously, there are no such big cockroaches in Thor's hometown, but judging from his performance, it is estimated that there are small cockroaches, but there is one more thing that Thor doesn't know......

"Oh, yes!" Ainz added slightly, "If you have an adult cockroach of this size, most of them are ......"

"Buzz buzz - smack!"

The cockroach in Thor's hand instantly shifted to Thor's face while he was stunned.

“…… It can fly. ”
