It was about time I let everyone know about my [Reality Sense]. In fact I plan to let Ainz know once we are in the New World. Hopefully there are some 'kind' and 'generous' revival cultists who attack me sometime during the trip to make the reveal more dramatic after I 'barely' survive.
I proceeded to quickly pick up the vials of potions I had prepared earlier and stored them in my [Inventory]. These potions had barely reached the efficacy of Nfirea's version of the potions.
But there was a distinct difference between the Nfirea's and my potions. In fact, the difference is something I was striving for.
I can now proudly present, the brand new and wonderful Lilith brand of special potions now available in three distinct flavours- Chocolate, vanilla, and assorted candy.
Well...not really assorted, per se. It's currently just one flavour of candy but I won't know exactly which one until I actually try it. Sort of like Bertie Botts every flavour beans from Harry Potter.
Since Ainz put up a ban on my consumption of sugar, I put my genius alchemy skills to the test to create alternate sources. It kinda made me feel like a drug dealer cooking up some meth in some rundown basem*nt and selling it through secret channels. Except these are all mine.
Maybe I can create a magical sugar cartel in another world and really take sugar addiction to the next level. Magical sugar that would topple world order. How exciting!
If I succeed then I can confidently reply to all those who asked me if I had a drug dealing business in my last life just because I was a chemist. Yeah, they were fans of dear ol' Heisenberg.
"Ok, let's go~" Having pocketed all the vials, I smiled and replied as they lead me towards Nazarick's surface where Ainz was presumably waiting.
They had dressed me in a long black dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. The sleeves appeared to puff out slightly at the shoulders. A large red bow adorned my chest and the skirt appeared to flow out from the waist and reached down to my ankles. All in all, I objectively looked quite cute.
By the way, I had informed Demiurge about keeping track of my pet butterfly and welcoming it back once it completed its mission. He should be mildly pleased about the chaos I have caused like an adult demon spectating the playful tricks orchestrated by the young ones.
And even though it's unlikely, I can use this opportunity to test if the mortal fear harvested by the little cutie will reach me in the New World. Just another teeny-tiny experiment.
It didn't take us far longer to reach what I identified to be the ground floor of Nazarick after passing through a convenient [Gate] that either Ainz or maybe Shalltear conjured up. And speak of the devil, both of them were present.
I could make out their reality signatures and unique souls alongside many others. Many of the other NPCs that I had met up with earlier had also gathered here. I haven't interacted much with most NPCs except the few that I usually came into contact with.
The only two I didn't recognise earlier were who I presumed to be Jircniv and Fluder. They were discreetly eyeing me. Perhaps not daring to look at the 'Sacred Child of God' out of fear due to the presence of a variety of monsters.
Albedo was standing next to Ainz, an unnatural grin decorating her face as she desperately stopped the quivering of her wings.
Standing next to her, I let go of the maids hands and after hesitating for a few moments, weakly grabbed Albedo's hand.
This caused her to wildly twitch for a moment before 'calming' down and tightly grasping my hand. She then proceeded to show a smug smile towards SHalltear who gritted her teeth in anger. Of course, I did this on purpose to enjoy the cute response of the terrifying demoness.
"Cough, let's not waste more time. Fluder demonstrate your progress on the path of magic over the years to me. I will 'asses' this thoroughly." Ainz proclaimed handing Fluder some sort of crystal which I presumed to be a source of MP that Fluder will require for casting the spell.
"As you wish, Lord Ainz," Fluder accepted the crystal while bowing and started casting the spell to the New World without delay. I also used my [Reality Sense] to focus on what was going on to try and sense what sort of abnormalities in time and space were occurring.
As the tear in space opening in concurrence with the rapid consumption of mana, I could see innumerable eyes and tentacles beyond it which scurried away in a hurry upon glancing at me.
'I wonder how Fluder and Jircniv survived their journey here without meeting any of these cuties?' I thought but was pulled back to reality as Albedo gently tugged me towards the tear in space following Ainz who had already vanished beyond sight.
