The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 159
Momonga assigned camouflaging the Great Tomb of Nazarick to Garganta and Mare, unlike in the Anime there was a complete change in the topography of the Plains the Tomb was now in. Garganta and Mare added mountains, valleys, canyons, lakes, and rivers. The entire map would need to be redrawn, but the tasks of hiding the tomb went beyond successful.
Inside Guildmasters office Momonga was looking through the mirror searching for human civilization with Sebas by his side, while Tatsuo sipped on some tea and ate the pastries made by the chefs.
“Apparently we are on a Leaf of Yggdrasil still, however, this is not one of the 9 worlds that remained after Jormangander attacked and shook the leaves off the tree. We need more information If these worlds still exist that means the gods have returned as well. And not just the Norse Gods, but many other gods as there are many races present in the world.”
Tatsuo said this as he looked at Momonga who grunted in acknowledgment while looking at an invasion of a village through the mirror.
“I agree with you that we need more information, how about we use this Village as one of our footholds? From this, we can gain an understanding of this world while also making use of Humans for many different tasks.”
Tatsuo stood up from his seat holding his teacup and made his way over to Momonga and stared over his shoulder into the mirror.
“Hmmm, Not only that we can capture the one in charge of this farce and extract information from him as well to compare the knowledge between the two parties. I’m Guessing the countries here are in a very volatile state, we should spread our influence as far as possible. With your appearance and mine, we have unlimited possibilities.”
Momonga nodded before giving Sebas some instructions and disappearing into a gate headed towards the village. Tatsuo sat behind the desk and thought about the course of events in the New World prior to his intervention.
He called Nebula and told her to gather Demiurge, Garganta, and Cocuytus, Tatsuo was going to expedite the situation by conquering the Non-Human settlements while Momonga focused on the Human settlements. Nazarick’s forces are larger now so there is no need to worry about being spread too thin.
Everyone arrived at the same time as they looked at Tatsuo with reverence, he spoke.
“To the North of Nazarick, there is a large mountain range, I’ve also noted down a Lizardmen settlement, a Dwarf Kingdom, a Toadman settlement, and a dragon’s nest. Cocytus you will probe the strength of the lizardmen to see if they will have any uses to Nazarick. Garganta, you will bring that Dragon to submission, I would like to see this arrogant creature who uses the Name of my Clansman, While Demiurge you will go to the Dwarf Kingdom, I want to know what the produce, the political situation, and if there is anything you deem important to report.”
“Yes, Tatsuo-Sama!”
The Three kneeled in acknowledgment before making their leave, as they have the other NPCs to utilize to the maximum capabilities they should not encounter any major issues that require the mobilization of a Member of 42 or a Supreme Being.
‘Momonga once said taking over the world would be nice as a joke, but now that I am here we will seriously take over this world. One step at a time, using conventional and unconventional means until we have a clear idea of all things this Leaf of the world tree has to offer.’
Tatsuo then started to order the members of 42 that did not have other assigned duties at the moment to scout in all the directions around Nazarick and bring back information on any major settlements besides the known ones. Once they have a clear understanding of the layout of the world things will be much easier. Sure Tatsuo has some knowledge but he does not have it all because the world wasn’t something he needed to worry about before yet it is now.
Tatsuo made use of all the Level 100 NPCs that Momonga was not using to create a massive information network that will penetrate the core of the governments of the nations, The Nobility, and the Clans. He will increase these agents’ power within their respective areas of activity until they are ready for activation and takeover of the nations. When the Sorcerous Kingdom comes to be its reach will be massive as it will become a superpower virtually overnight due to this.
From that point on Tatsuo just sat back and watched as Momonga did things his way, when learning how to be a Leader when you have never had the opportunity to be one is a difficult task that Momonga will have to tackle. Tatsuo was going to mold him into a core member of his empire, Therefore he will set the stage for Momonga to use this world as his sandbox, his tutorial, before allowing him to do the real thing.
‘He’s fixated on the saying that Ains Ool Gown doesn’t know defeat, yet he will learn that the Moonlight shines on the Night Empire at all times.’
Tatsuo watched through the Mirror as Momonga, now know as Ains decimated the Slane Theocracy and captured the Target.
