*The gate opens fully and stabilizes*
There, it's open. Who do you recommend I bring through?

There, it's open. Who do you recommend I bring through?
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
Mu strategies are mere gnats in the shadow of your wisdom, my lord. If I must make a recommendation, however, I would refrain from bringing Albedo.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
*I nod*
That is wise. But who else, specifically, would you bring to aid us? The gate can only be kept open for so long, even with our combined might stabilising it.
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
Would it be wise to regroup and gather our resources or would it be preferable to bring Demiurge?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Normally regrouping would be best, but given how unstable this gateway is without our intervention-*gestures to the swirling portal*-I think it would be best if we simply brought Demiurge or one of the other Floor Guardians here.
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
*Nods*
Your wisdom is unending, Lord Ainz.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
*I nod and turn towards the gate as I let go of the staff, letting it to float in mid air in order to help Shalltear keep the portal open as I step through it and to the other side. Arriving on the first floor of the Great Tomb, I place two skeletal fingers to my left temple and attempt to forge a psychic connection with Demiurge*
Demiurge. Are you there?
*Demiurge in his classic reddish suit and glasses walks up from out of the tomb before bowing*
Indeed I am my lord.
*I nod and let my hand fall to my side*
Good. I have need of your aid.
*He nods and rises*
Of course my lord. But, if you do not mind me asking, does this have anything to do with the world item you seek?
In a way, yes.
I see. And will you be needing the services of the other guardian's?
*I shake my head*
No, but make sure to inform them of my absence and tell them to put them tomb into lockdown until I return. Except for Albedo. I don't want her to know about this. She might...overreact.
As you wish my lord.
*Demiurge goes off to complete his task and returns a few minutes later*
It is done my lord.
Good.
*I turn back towards the gate and walk to it, Demiurge following close behind. Stepping through it, we arrive back in the strange city*
*I look over to Shalltear*
You can stop maintaining the gate now, Shalltear.
Now...
*Stretching out my hand, I summon the staff back to me before casting Dark Warrior on myself*
Let us see what this world has in store for us.
*I turn to Demiurge*
Is there anyway you can hide your tail?
*He nods*
Of course my lord.
*Demiurge lets out a grunt as the tail becomes part of his body, disappearing from view*
*I nod*
Good. Now lets go. Oh and I no longer have need of your vampire brides Shalltear.
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
*Desummons them*
Taken care of, Lord Ainz.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Good. Now let's go.
*I start walking towards the alley entrance*
*Stepping out of the alley, I find myself in a kind of backstreet square surrounded on all sides by apartment buildings. Sticking to the shadows, I carefully observe the area*
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
This architecture is unfamiliar to me.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
It is unfamiliar to me as well. I think we should avoid coming into contact with the inhabitants of this place lest they suspect us of something.
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
Shall I change my appearance with an illusion spell, my lord?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Yes. Preferably with clothing similar to Demiurges as this place seems far more advanced than the New World. As a matter of fact, I shall change my appearance as well, just so nothing seems amiss.
*I cast an illusion sell on myself and wait as the mirage cloaks my true form*
