Peroroncino and Momonga arrived at the sixth floor, where Shalltear was located.
"Shalltear!" Peroroncino called out, but there was no response.
"Shalltear, Peroroncino is not dead!" Momonga spoke to Shalltear.
But still, Shalltear did not react, as if she couldn't hear them.
"What happened to Shalltear?" Peroroncino asked, looking at Momonga.
"After Shalltear found out that you were dead, she became like this. According to Aura, this has been going on for a long time," Momonga replied.
Peroroncino called out to Shalltear a few more times, but there was still no response. The only way to wake her up was to use Peroroncino's true form.
Chino's body, like data, transformed into lines of code and entered Peroroncino's body.
Peroroncino opened his eyes, and with a single force, all the ice around him shattered. He stood up.
At that moment, Shalltear also reacted.
She stared at Peroroncino, her eyes gradually regaining their light, shifting from dull and lifeless to full of expression.
When she clearly saw Peroroncino, it was as if something lifeless had turned into something living.
"Shalltear, I'm back!"
"Peroroncino-sama!" Shalltear tightly hugged Peroroncino, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Because Shalltear is naturally a loli with a very short height, her pair of D-cup breasts were tightly pressed against Peroroncino's abdomen. This caused Peroroncino's thoughts to stray. If it weren't for Momonga being there, something might have happened.
Peroroncino stroked Shalltear's head, then naturally placed his hand on Shalltear's lower back, moving it slightly lower. This wasn't something Peroroncino intended to do; it was simply that after recovering control of his body, his hand wasn't quite obedient.
Originally, Peroroncino's body had been revived with resurrection magic, but without a soul, the body couldn't move.
If Peroroncino hadn't transferred his consciousness into the artificial humanoid before his death, he would likely have ended up like the King of Eight Greeds, where after revival, his soul would disappear, leaving behind an NPC with Peroroncino's memories.
Peroroncino, Shalltear and, together with Momonga, returned to the tenth floor.
At this moment, Albedo was being tortured by Bukubukuchagama.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Momonga suggested sending Albedo to the Kyouhukou.
Bukubukuchagama refused to go there. For a normal woman, it was truly unbearable to stay at the Kyouhukou's place.
Shalltear didn't go either. She had once discussed with Aura, and even just hearing Aura talk about it made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Peroroncino handed over the two
Once, Momonga had split the Ainz Ooal Gown ring he possessed in half, giving Peroroncino one half. Peroroncino still had an extra Ainz Ooal Gown ring.
But both Aura and Mare's gazes were fixed on the ring that Bukubukuchagama was wearing. It was clear that they both wanted the ring that Bukubukuchagama had worn.
Bukubukuchagama didn't notice and even asked Aura and Mare why they were staring at her.
Peroroncino suddenly remembered that her sister, Bukubukuchagama, really had low emotional intelligence. As long as others didn't directly say it, she wouldn't understand the meaning behind many things.
"'Sister, they want the ring you're wearing!' Peroroncino said.
'What's the difference?' Bukubukuchagama clearly still didn't understand.
'Of course, it's because that ring is the one you've worn,' Peroroncino patiently explained again.
'What difference does it make whether I've worn it or not?'
'........' Peroroncino suddenly didn't want to speak anymore.
Momonga also realized that Peroroncino's sister, Bukubukuchagama, had such low emotional intelligence.
'Of course, it's because they like you!' Peroroncino explained once more.
Now that the words were so clear, Bukubukuchagamat understood what to do. She took off the ring she was wearing and gave it to Aura.
Bukubukuchagama the two rings from Peroroncino's hands, gave one to Mare, and kept one for herself.
Afterward, Peroroncino and Momonga went to the Terror King's room and handed Albedo over to Kyouhukou.
However, Kyouhukou said that Albedo's defense was too high, and his subordinates couldn't break through her defenses.
'Then let's take Albedo to the fifth level of the cold ice cellar in the Cocytus area, and let her feel the chilling sensation of the ice!' Peroroncino suggested.
'Then we'll do it your way!'
The two sent Albedo to the fifth level. The teleportation chain hung Albedo in the extreme cold ice cellar, where the temperature is constantly at -300 degrees.
Anyone with a level below 60 (or defense lower than 3000) would be instantly frozen into a popsicle upon entering. They would die from the freezing.
Albedo possessed the ability to automatically regenerate her health, so it was unlikely that she would die from being frozen, but she could still feel the immense pain caused by the extreme cold.
When Peroroncino and Momonga left, they took the sound-blocking items with them. Both of them heard Albedo's final scream.
'Please, kill me! Lord Ainz!'
But neither of them paid any attention to Albedo. They closed the door to the extreme cold ice cellar.
Everyone should be responsible for their actions. As the overseer of the guardians, her duty was to protect the Supreme One, yet she betrayed him. This was the punishment she deserved.
After Peroroncino and Momonga left, Albedo clearly felt as if all the blood in her body had been frozen.
The cold seeped into her body through her pores. It felt as if tens of thousands of ice spikes were simultaneously attempting to pierce her body.
Albedo struggled desperately to break free from the chains, but it was all in vain. Suddenly, Albedo remembered the World-Class Item that Tabula Smaragdina had given her.
However, Albedo didn't feel the presence of the World-Class Item on her body.
Momonga had taken her World-Class Item when he revived her.
In Momonga's view, Albedo didn't deserve to keep the World-Class Item.
The extreme cold gradually drained Albedo's will to struggle.
Every time Albedo tried to fall asleep, the cold would freeze her awake.
This place made Albedo feel both a physical and mental double blow.
But Albedo still felt that she was not in the wrong. The one at fault was Peroroncino. Why didn't Peroroncino just die? If he died, everything would be perfect.
At that time, Momonga would be the only Supreme One, with no one left to challenge his authority.
In the end, Albedo was just an NPC. She never truly understood Momonga.
