Chapter 1:

"Kneel".

With mechanical perfection, all the NPCs knelt before him. To be honest, he enjoyed this situation. Having the NPCs kneel in front of him made him feel significant, he felt he had worth, he felt he was respected. It was a welcome change, despite it being extremely short.

"A relic of the past…."

Suzuki looked around. The throne room was truly magnificent. His friends outdid themselves when they decorated it. On the tall pillars on both sides of the room, the banners of his old friends where hanging. Suzuki was curious to see if he remembered all their names:

"Me, Touch me, shijuuten Suzaku, Ankoro Mochi Mochi,..."

He managed to name every single one of his friends, he was pleased with that. After all, they were the friends with whom he shared his glory, he would never forget them. They worked together to build this place, The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. This is the place where he felt at home.

"It was fun..., it was really fun."

The end was near, in few seconds the servers will shutdown for good, all of this will be gone….forever. With a long tired sigh, he leaned back on his throne, waiting for the inevitable.

Momonga sama rarely visited the throne room. It was weird for him to spend his time away from his rightful place when he was the leader of the supreme beings. But she didn't dare to question him, nor did it matter anymore because today he finally graced her with his presence. Not only that, he also gave her the gift of his love. He changed something within her very being and decided that she would be his lover, her happiness right now was enough for all beings in existence. Nothing came to mind that could ruin her happiness as she imagined him taking her as a wife, and having her by his side for the rest of eternity. She was grateful for how things were happening.

"Me, Touch me, shijuuten Suzaku, Ankoro Mochi Mochi,..."

This puzzled her. Why would Momonga sama start reciting the names of those who left???

They abandoned us..

Albedo realized that she despised the other supreme beings, and while such a thing would be punishable by death if made public, she felt that it was natural for every servant of Nazarick to feel the same way. After all, all of those "supreme beings" abandoned them, they abandoned Nazarick...all of them except for Momonga sama.

It took Albedo a couple seconds to realize what her master was doing. He had ordered Sebas and the Pleiades to escort him and leave the spots their creators ordered them to guard. He changed something within her without consulting her creator, and for the first time in memory, he was now sitting on the throne. It was obvious…Momonga sama renounced the authority of his comrades. He is now seizing power and taking everything, and soon, he will declare himself as the only Supreme Being and the sole master of Nazarick...

Albedo could not wait, she wanted to swear fealty to her love sooner than later, but something was off...

"It was fun..., it was really fun."

Not only where these words not fit the situation; they were also devoid of all motivation. Momonga sama didn't sound like someone who made his resolve. On the contrary, he sounded like someone who had given up.

A tired sigh came from her master, and Albedo was now panicking. The thought that came to mind terrified her, and doubt starting eating away at her patience. She wanted to look at her master, but she still hasn't received permission to raise her head. The conflict within her didn't last for more than a few seconds. She decided to sneak a glimpse at her master even if it meant punishment, she simply could not deal with the uncertainty. Slowly and subtly, she raised her head and sneaked a peek at her lord.

"Momonga sama?"

Her voice was shaky. She did not want believe what she saw. In front of her was the throne of kings, empty. For a brief moment she lost control and started screaming:

"NO NO NO...WHY YOU TOO!"

She looked around in panic, and saw Sebas and the Pleiades:

"Sebas! Take one of the Pleiades and Leave the tomb immediately. Look for Momonga sama. If you find him outside do anything that's needed to convince him to come back."

"Understood"

Compared to Albedo, his voice was calm, but if anyone knew Sebas, it was obvious that he was not alright. It took a lot of him not to break down. But now was not the time to grief, now was the time to work. Their master could still be close, somewhere in the swamps. There was still hope. He ordered CZ2128 to join him since he thought she was suitable for the job.

Until now, none of the Pleiades had done anything. They were silently weeping. The first to make any sound was CZ. When Sebas gave her the order to follow him she tried to reply with an affirmative, but all she managed to do was allow her silent grief to make itself known. She start crying, loudly and sorrowfully, the rest of Pleiades gave up after she did and started sobbing. Seeing this, Sebas could not do anything other than signaling to CZ to follow him once more, he left the throne room with the sobbing CZ following him.

It was a pitiful display. Had it been under any other circumstance, Albedo would have been furious, but as it was now, she could only sadly stare at the sorry state of the Pleiades. Their grace and dignity were now gone, not even a sliver of their prideful demeanor was left. She knew they had the right to be left alone, to mourn the departure of the last one of their masters, but they were needed, she gave them their new orders:

"Pleiades, go tell the guardians to prepare the armies under their command. Once Sebas returns with Momonga sama or at least his location, we will need to act swiftly to insure his safety."

Yuri looked at Albedo:

"What good would it do? We were left behind. Momonga sama won't return."

Right now, Albedo's stares could kill someone with the sheer hostility they had. The subtle shaking in her body declared that she was on the brink of losing control:

"Do as told!"

Yuri did not have the will to defy nor argue:

"As you wish."

She slowly rose to her feet, helped her sisters stand up and then left the throne room with them.

Time did not go at the same speed it used to. It seemed to be slowing down, testing the patience of the Overseer. Nothing happened until one excruciating hour had passed. Albedo received a Message from Sebas, the iron butler was clearly panicking:

[Albedo sama, I have scouted a large area around Nazarick, Momonga sama is nowhere to be found.]

[I see.]

Albedo ended the transmission, she was now alone in the throne room. Grief finally managed to get the better of her.

The wails of the Overseer could be heard all around the 10th and the 9th floor, her sorrowful cries were soon joined by multiple others as the news spread through Nazarick and the residents of the once glorious Tomb gave in to despair.

Momonga sama has left us. We were abandonded.
