OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

The Highest Priest and the other high priests, witnessing Nana's monstrous strength, found it hard to believe that she was human.

Under the guise of conducting a health checkup, they repeatedly examined her ten times, arriving at the same conclusion each time—Nana was indeed human.

Of course, Nana didn't allow any males to perform the examination.

Because Yulia had told her that, as a subordinate of Lord Peroroncino, allowing any other male creature to see her body would be akin to betraying Lord Peroroncino.

After deliberation, the priests decided to assign Nana to an Unofficial position within the Black Scripture, granting her the same status as Antilene.

Originally, the existence of Antilene was known only to the Scripture's captain and the high priests. However, a recent battle had exposed Antilene to the public eye, leaving the Slane Theocracy with no other choice.

The reason Antilene had been kept hidden was to serve as a deterrent against the Council State's Platinum Dragon Lord.

The Platinum Dragon Lord was the most powerful being known to the Slane Theocracy.

Meanwhile, Antilene possessed the capability to threaten the life of the Platinum Dragon Lord. Keeping her concealed was a strategy to avoid provoking a war with the Council State.

Antilene had already reached the level cap of 85 and could no longer advance even slightly. Breaking through the level cap required a battle against an opponent of equal strength, but thus far, Antilene had yet to encounter such a match.

As for the Platinum Dragon Lord, Antilene was completely unaware of its existence.

The high priests intentionally withheld information about the Platinum Dragon Lord, fully aware of Antilene's reckless personality. If she knew about it, she'd likely rush off to challenge the Platinum Dragon Lord in a fight—and possibly aim to have its child afterward.

As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot coexist on the same mountain." A meeting between Antilene and the Platinum Dragon Lord would inevitably result in one of them perishing.

Peroroncino lodged a protest with Bukubukuchagama, finding the feeling of being grounded unbearable.

In response, Bukubukuchagama, showing a bit of leniency, set a condition: Peroroncino had to master a few Origin Magic spells within 15 days to gain permission to venture out again.

Being a seasoned gamer, Peroroncino quickly adapted. Through a combination of his own exploration and Bukubukuchagama's guidance, he soon grasped the fundamentals of Origin Magic.

Bukubukuchagama taught Peroroncino three Origin Magic spells, each capable of ensuring survival in dire situations.

However, Peroroncino only mastered one: an Origin Magic spell for teleportation. This teleportation spell was unstoppable and uninterruptible—even World-Class Items couldn't block it.

It could be considered the ultimate escape skill.

With this ability, it became virtually impossible for him to be trapped or instantly killed.

And as for instantly killing a level 100 player—well, that was practically impossible.

If such a powerful being truly existed, then all of Nazarick might as well resign themselves to their fate.

Just as Peroroncino was preparing to set off on an adventure with Shalltear, Bukubukuchagama handed Mare over to him.

Mare was arguably the most devastatingly powerful unit in Nazarick, aside from the Three Supreme Beings.

As a max-level spellcaster NPC, Mare's destructive power was beyond question. He could easily annihilate the entire Slane Theocracy single-handedly. Aside from Antilene, no one could stop him.

Reluctantly, Peroroncino agreed to bring Mare along.

However, Mare was still considered a child, and Peroroncino's tendency for casual flirtation raised concerns. If Mare were to witness something inappropriate, the consequences could be...

It should be noted that Mare was a 73-year-old child.

"A 73-year-old kid... Fine, maybe it's time for him to grow up," Peroroncino thought.

Peroroncino's first stop was the Holy Kingdom, where he planned to collect Yulia, Nana, and his mount, the Dragonewt Misty.

This decision came after the decisive battle in the Holy Kingdom against the demi-human army during the time Peroroncino was grounded.

Keralt was returned to the Holy Kingdom by Shalltear and handed over to Yulia.

"Let her experience the feeling of punishment that cuts to the heart," Shalltear said as she handed Keralt over to Yulia.

The reason was that Keralt had sought help from Bukubukuchagama.

This act was seen as equivalent to betraying Peroroncino.

It should be noted that Peroroncino had never mistreated Keralt.

Originally, Shalltear intended to punish Keralt herself, but Peroroncino strictly forbade it.

After all, the drastic contrast in Calca's fate had been a bit too excessive for Peroroncino's liking.

On the contrary, Peroroncino had a fondness for the rebellious nature of Keralt.

Once handed over to Yulia, Keralt was not subjected to abuse. Instead, Yulia treated her with kindness, providing her with a good meal.

The next day, however, Yulia sent Keralt to the stake.

She also ensured that Keralt's actions were publicly announced.

News of Keralt's involvement with the demi-human army quickly spread.

Many citizens of the Holy Kingdom picked up stones and hurled them at her.

"You vile traitor, give me back my father!"

"Lapdog of the demi-humans!"

"Tui! You're worse than a beast!"

Most of these people lacked the courage to go to the battlefield themselves, but they had lost loved ones to the demi-humans.

They vented all their anger and grief on Keralt.

The people of the Holy Kingdom hurled insults, flung stones, and poured out their fury on her.

Yulia instructed others to calm the crowd before she approached Keralt alone and whispered:

"Do you see now? These are the people of the Holy Kingdom you wanted to protect."

Yulia then set the stake ablaze with a single motion.

The flames consumed Keralt, but they only managed to burn her skin.

When any attribute reaches a value of 1000, it signifies stepping into the realm of heroes.

Upon entering the hero domain, one's power ascends to an entirely new level.

At this moment, all of Keralt's attributes exceeded 1000. With the support of her extraordinary defense, ordinary flames could hardly kill her.

However, the sensation of pain remained undiminished.

As someone who had betrayed the Holy Kingdom, Keralt received no sympathy from its people.

Before the flames grew larger, Yulia walked up to Keralt and whispered:

"Fully experience the wrath of the Holy Kingdom!"

With that, Yulia turned and left.

By now, many had willingly pledged allegiance to Yulia, forming a new organization under her leadership called the Apostolic Knights Order.

In this group, Yulia was regarded as an angel, and her followers saw themselves as apostles.

All of this unfolded under the watchful eyes of Caspond, the ruler of the Holy Kingdom, who remained completely indifferent.
