Overlord: Ancient One

Arthur was in a barren land of Helheim, he looked at the surroundings for a brief moment and with a sigh, Arthur said.

"Looks like the time is approaching, isn't it Friday." Hearing Arthur's voice Friday replied.

[Yes, Sir.] Friday's voice was brief. 

"You know Friday, When I first opened my eyes to see this world what I witnessed was a group of people who called themselves my relatives, who were only looking for a chance to slit each other's throat for a tiny bit of profile."

"And even after entering this game, I thought that it would remain the same—in fact, most of the players that I met did fulfil those criteria. Until I meet them."

"Looking back, my time with them was pretty crazy, isn't it? Thinking about them I suddenly remembered a quote that I previously heard—Some people cross your path and change your whole direction—*Sigh* I think I will miss them."

[...] Friday didn't say anything to Arthur.

"Alright, enough with this sentimental talk, So Friday why are we here again." Arthur asked about his cheerful personality.

[To check the new Avatar that the developer provided you, Sir.]

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot about it," Arthur said as he summoned the system interface.

And in the {Alternate Ego} section a new Avatar was available, which is already at a level 100—due to it being a final gift from DEVs. Selecting the Avatar, Arthur quickly transformed into the Avatar.

Arthur looked at himself and was a little surprised by the looks of the Avatar.

The Avatar looked like a combination of {Bird Man} and {Demon}.

Its full body was covered with raven-black feathers with a bright crimson glow at the centre of its heart and instead of eyes it only had a single spherical hollow—which emits bright blood-red colour—at the centre of its face.

The Avatar looked horrifying with its dark deadly aura and bright red halo at the back of its head.

"Look there is Even a description about this Avatar." Arthur said as selected the description option.

There was only a brief paragraph, {The final form of Ancient One—The oldest being in whole YGGDRASILL—This Avatar was given to Ancient One by YGGDRASILL itself with its last remaining power—To unleash a hoard of demons in nine world thus ending YGGDRASILL.}

{DEVs: Use the Ultimate Skill to Unleash the demon}

After reading the description, Arthur chucked."It seems like they want me to become the final boss. And now I know why there is {Destroyer of YGGDRASILL} as one of the Job classes.

"So Friday are you ready for the one last adventure in YGGDRASILL."

[I always am, Sir.] Friday said as Arthur teleported to Midgard.

🔹🔹🔹

Bypassing the teleportation restrictions that are present in every city—Arthur arrived at the Aurgelmir—the capital city of Midgard. 

Floating at the top of the City, Arthur looked at the masses that were below him. And uttered a single line.

"FEAR ME, MORTALS!!" Arthur's voice penetrated the whole of Midgard. As he evoked his Ultimate Skill.

{ULTIMATE SKILL: BRINGER OF DEATH AND ETERNAL DESTRUCTION}

Arthur said as a giant door with lots of ancient carvings present on it appeared behind him—the flaming door was not only present in Midgard but also in all the other nine worlds—at the same time. 

From the door, lots of Demons, Undead and Other creatures came and indiscriminately attacked all the players that are present in the nine worlds. 

The system notification followed after he evoked the Ultimate skill.

§§§§§

{WORLD QUEST}

Kill all the Demon, Undead and Other creatures that spread across the nine worlds. And protect your world from the {Destroyer of YGGDRASILL}

Reward: A final adventure for all the players, who fought till the end.

Penalty: None. 

§§§§§

"They really did make me the Final Boss." Arthur chuckled as he looked at the madness that he spread across the nine worlds. 

But unlike what he did in Asgard—which pissed most of the people. Today what he did makes most of the people happy as this can be said for one final quest that they can do in YGGDRASILL. 

After looking around for a while Arthur decided to return to Nazarick to make some final changes in the whole tomb. 

🔹🔹🔹

A gigantic table carved of gleaming black stone sat in the centre of the room, surrounded by forty-one luxurious chairs.

However, most of those seats were empty.

Once, every single place had been filled, but now only two were occupied.

One of the seated people was clothed in a magnificent black academic robe, edged in violet and gold. The collar seemed excessively gaudy, but somehow it fit the overall design.

However, the exposed head was a bare skull. Points of dark red light glowed in its large eye sockets, and behind that skull glowed a halo of black radiance.

The being in the other seat was not human either, It had a human body, but its head was a distorted black eggshell with two hollow eyes. There were no eyeballs; instead, there were two black holes that appeared to be being devoured by any light as darkness swirled inside them.

Who else could be other than Arthur and Momonga? But unlike the canon, the role was reversed here. 

"It's really been a while, Momonga. Although this is the last day of YGGDRASIL, I didn't expect you to show up."

"Indeed it has, Ancient-san."

The two of them spoke with the voices of grown men. 

"You stopped coming online after Bukubukuchagama became pregnant, so how long has it been... about two years?"

"Ah seems about right, it's been so long," Momonga said.

"So How was your life? Are you satisfied with it?" Arthur asked—though this question may seem random to others for Arthur it was not. 

"My life huh... If I have to say it's perfect, When I entered this game seven years ago—I didn't think that it would become like this. And if you haven't given me the courage to propose my love—I think I will still be in that lonely apartment eating the nutrition pack." Momonga said with a light laugh. 

"Thank You, Ancient-san for being my friend." Arthur didn't know why he felt happy when Momonga said that. 

"No... No, Momonga, It should be me thanking you." Arthur said. 

After that, they talked about random things about their Guild and other stuff. 

"I am glad to meet you after a long time, Ancient-san. Although it's time for me to log out." Momonga said as his Skelton's hands moved as if touching something.

"Yes, it's indeed getting late. And you also have to go to work tomorrow." 

"Yes, I hope we will meet again, it will be in YGGDRASIL II. " Momonga said.

"Yes, we will, if faith allows us, that is." Arthur said as a happy emoji appeared beside him but only he knows that they are never going to meet each other and this is their last meeting. 

"See you, Ancient-san and thank you. Let's meet up again somewhere else." Momonga said as he disappeared from the spot, leaving Arthur alone in the great hall. 

"He looked happy with his life, don't you think Friday."

['Happy' is an understatement, Sir. I think he is living a dream life with his lovely family.]

"Indeed he is, anything less would feel like an insult to my hard work." 

"So Friday is all preparation done to transfer my money to the orphanage and other charity organisations after I died in this world." Arthur asked.

[Yes, Sir. All legal procedures have been completed. And all your funds will be transferred to different charity organisations across the world after you passed away.]

[And I also made sure to appoint personnel, who won't misuse the money.]

"Thanks, Friday, Don't give a single penny to my supposed family." 

[Yes, Sir.]

"Anyway, let's go to the throne room. I should prepare for the next event that I have been waiting for my whole life." Arthur murmured as he took the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown and left the round table room.
