Seeing their master's attitude, Albedo and the others, despite having many objections, remained silent.
Ainz Ooal Gown turned his head and looked at Whitebeard and the others opposite him.
Take the initiative to step forward and speak.
"This leader, you have an imposing presence; you are no ordinary person. You must be a powerful figure from some faction."
"Now that we've met, why don't we become friends, find a place to sit down and have a good chat?"
He is a magnanimous person, and even though Marco said those things about him before, Ainz didn't care at all.
It's now a fact that I'm at the bottom of the power rankings, and my opponent is very likely to be ranked above me.
Therefore, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Let's just send an invitation.
Captain Whitebeard and his group all looked at their father, their faces showing a barely perceptible embarrassment.
Even they could see that the other party was far superior to their father.
Whitebeard remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was already eager to slip away from the street.
But then he thought about it again.
Since this overseas world can cure even my decades-old illness, perhaps it can also find ways to improve my strength.
As for the other party, he could guess that they were being polite because they were wary of his higher ranking.
If they knew their true strength, they probably wouldn't have this attitude.
Since the other party has made a request, why not go with the flow and chat with them? Perhaps we can discover something.
The power rankings update so slowly, they won't be updated anytime soon.
As long as you act convincingly enough and don't expose yourself, the other party will only become more wary of you, fearing that you will be ranked higher, and will not do anything excessive to you.
Profits and risks go hand in hand.
This is a lesson Edward Neugate learned on his very first day as a pirate.
"Cough cough..."
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking too."
"My name is Edward Bull Gates, but everyone calls me Whitebeard."
He reached out and grasped Ainz Ooal Gown's outstretched skeletal hand.
I was startled.
surprise.
It looked incredibly fragile, but when he actually touched it, he felt that this hand was more solid than any object he had ever seen.
"Alright, let's go...there then, shall we?"
Seeing that the other party agreed, Ainz Ooal Gown turned around and found that only the West Coffee Shop to the right of Lulin could accommodate so many people.
He then turned to Lu Lin and the other two and made a request.
"I can tell you're not ordinary people. Why don't you sit down and have a chat?"
"This... is Accelerator, the strongest in Academy City."
Accelerator frowned; the other party actually knew his identity. He gave a cold look and refused outright.
"Ha... I, this great one, would never stoop to sharing a room with weaklings like you."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Lu Lin shook his head. How could he be absent from a scene where Ainz and Whitebeard were together?
"No, no, no, this guy's word doesn't count. I represent his agreement."
Accelerator exploded, his cane plunging halfway into the ground.
"You... Lu Lin!"
Lu Lin spoke slowly.
"Little Misaka..."
Upon hearing those three words, Accelerator's dignified expression instantly crumbled, as if he had encountered his nemesis, and he said in a humble voice:
"Okay, okay, I'll go, alright?"
"This is unbelievable! I have a friend like you?"
At this moment, the text in the sky changed again.
[Power Ranking Reward: 50th Place - Ainz Ooal Gown obtains the World-Class Item, the Great Demon Flute. Using this item can summon a random Fallen Demon from Hell.]
[Family Bonus: All family members gain 50% Righteous Force Resistance.]
On the main street.
A golden light suddenly appeared in front of Ainz Ooal Gown.
The golden light slowly flew to him, landed in his hand, and when the light dissipated, it revealed a black horn about half the size of his palm.
He was startled, his eyes fixed on the object in his hand.
The moment Ainz Ooal Gown touched this world-class item, he sensed that it was an extremely rare treasure.
It's even a level better than the other world-class items I have.
If he weren't currently causing trouble in the street, he would have loved to use it on the spot to see just how powerful a monster this Demon Flute could summon.
At the same time, behind Ainz Ooal Gown, all the guardians and servants of the Great Tomb of Nazarick emitted a strong demonic aura, clearly sensing that their bodies were undergoing changes.
The sunlight wasn't so harsh on my skin anymore.

Chapter Six: Yhwach's Ambition (Seeking flowers and recommendation votes)
"Is this the reward Lord Ainz has given us?"
"The sunlight really isn't so glaring anymore."
"Can we... now walk openly and honestly in this world?"
Behind Ainz Ooal Gown, his retinues removed their disguises and barriers, exposing their evil divine bodies to the light of day.
Even though the sunlight at this time is the most intense midday sun, it does not cause any damage to their bodies.
They all knelt on the ground, uttering sounds with the utmost reverence.
"Supreme Ruler!"
"Supreme Ruler!"
"Supreme Ruler!"
"Supreme Ruler!"
"..."
The people around who witnessed this scene were all terrified.
It was one thing for a group of strangely dressed people to be hiding their true identities in broad daylight, but it turned out they were all demons.
And the leader of this group of demons was none other than the terrifyingly powerful being ranked fiftieth on the Heavenly Golden List.
Students immediately took out their phones, filmed the scene, and uploaded it online.
In a networked society with highly developed information technology...
Because of the appearance of the Heavenly Golden List, news of Ainz Ooal Gown had already been searched by countless people online.
The video caused a sensation as soon as it was uploaded.
"This... Ainz Ooal Gown? It's actually real."
"I thought it was just a prank, but I never imagined that this demon actually exists."
"How terrifying. If this guy really has the strength shown on the Heavenly Ranking, I'm really worried about the safety of the uploader."
"No, you're focusing on the wrong thing. Shouldn't the focus be on the fact that this Heavenly Ranking is real, the rankings are real, and the rewards are real too?"
Netizens then realized what had happened, gasped in shock, and looked up at the sky with horror.
The Invisible Empire, the Great Hall.
Yhwach sat upright in the main hall, his face filled with excitement as he looked at the report presented by his Quincy subordinates.
"I never imagined the combat power rankings were actually real."
"The reward was actually real!"
The leader of the Sternritter, Yugrain Haschwalth, bowed slightly as he addressed Yhwach.
"Your Majesty, I believe this is an opportunity."
"Ainz Ooal Gown's strength is insignificant compared to His Majesty's."
"If he can make the list, then Your Majesty can certainly make it too."
"I wonder what kind of reward I will receive."
Yhwach's thick black beard twitched slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked into the distance.
"You're right, this is indeed an opportunity."
"The time is ripe. We Quincy have waited here for a thousand years; it's time to venture out."
"Our target isn't just that small area of Seireitei; we might as well take this opportunity to learn about the forces outside."
Yugrain Hasward bowed even deeper, his face filled with admiration.
"Your Majesty is right."
Time and Space Administration Bureau, Mobile Section Six.
"boom!"
A loud bang came from outside the training camp.
