”Overlord. Such a domineering name for this putrid place. Sounds like a place full of corruption. I like it, hoho.”, Towa said beaming with a smile.
”That's an understatement. Until we get settled in there will be danger everywhere, even though the general populace won't lash out and attack. They're essentially slaves to the big conglomerates who hold true power. The notion of government only exists in fabled words there.”
”...So we're essentially going in a anarchist society filled with toxic wastelands?”, Elsa responded with a doubtful voice.
”Pretty much. As such, before we find our own place, only Chelsea, I, Miya and Mist will go, you guys can stay here. Our first goal will be to get situated into this society, and buy our own place. We can protect ourselves from the toxins with Divine Energy, right Vados?”
After Nao asked that, Vados gently nodded her head.
”Yes. Is it fine if I come with you? I fear going out looking like this isn't the best way, I'll be able to alter our appearances to match the plane we're heading to. They're only humans, yes?”
”Right. That'd probably be for the best, Vados. After we secure our new home then we can get into the nanotech stuff and go through its procedures. Only then will those virtual worlds become available to us. Any questions so far?”
”You're speaking as if there is more than one of these virtual worlds?”, Elsa said, continuing to ask him.
”Yeah. There is one that is going to be our main focus, but we can get used to some others, just to see how it feels and such. I'm really looking forward taking them for a spin myself. Also besides a select few individuals, it's probably best not to interact with the rest of the populace.”
”Are you really going to interact with them, Nao? What if they become our enemies?, Chelsea asked as a cold glint of light streaked across her eyes.
”...Who are these people, how many are there?”, Elsa also asked worriedly.
”I'm not sure, Chelsea. There's a total of forty one of them. I'm not sure if we would cross paths with each other, but if we do, I'd like to at least establish a relationship. It doesn't have to be friends though.”
”F-Forty one? That's hardly a few!”
”Stop worrying so much, Mother Elsa! Besides, we have us here. We'd be able to handle them no problem! I'm also looking forward to these virtual worlds!”, Fie said, taking this time chime in.
Elsa's expression couldn't help but soften after hearing Fie speak, and gently nodded her head.
”You're right, Fie. We just need to remember we're going into an unknown world. You seem to have a good grasp of it already, Nao. So looks like we'll be relying on you.”, Elsa said with a smile.
Nao nodded in confirmation before speaking out once more.
”So that's the general gist of things. I created my second avatar to be that of a young a.d.u.l.t, ready to enter its hierarchy of work. I'll begin the Soul Transfer shortly, and I won't e able to go back into my previous avatar for a long time.”, Nao continued to say with a serious tone.
”Rebirth will allow me to set the plane's year this time around as well. We will start six years prior to the virtual world we want to go into releases!”
”You're actually able to do that? This really is such an interesting, 'system', you called it? Why six years though? Even I'd trouble myself trying to spend more than a year in this waste, fufu.”, Vados chimed in, placing her hand over her mouth like Whis does, letting out a laugh.
”Pretty simple actually. We need money, and lots of it. Build up a good base and either steal from one of the big conglomerates or make one ourselves. We'll be able to use cash in this virtual world, and can stock up on things before the transfer happens. I won't let you guys go the easy route and just create cash from nothing. I may make an exception for Fie here though to let her practice her Creation.”, Nao said with a smile.
”Really!?”, Fie responded happily. Fie even tried to rush out for a hug but Chronoa brought her back in, wrapping her arms around Fie. Fie pouted a bit but enjoyed Chronoa's hug in return.
”Yeah. But I think that's enough discussion for now. We ought to wake up a certain someone. Plus you guys don't want to keep smelling this right?”
After Nao said that, the girls fiercely nodded their heads. Thanks to the barrier the Grand Minister placed around the White Palace, it can even prevent putrid odors from the Void Space, if Nao willed it.
”Leave it to me, Darlin'! I'll make sure Kale is up before she knows it. Can we do some sparrin' before you transfer into that new body of yours?”
”Hmm, that is true. I won't be in my Saiyan body after this for a long time. Why don't we go all out in a battle royale? I'll unleash my Super Saiyan White. I'm curious to see some of your strengths now. Especially you, Vados. After witnessing Goku turning Ultra Instinct, I've been wanting to fight against it. You know how to use it, right?”
”Fufu, would you like to find out? Since we've left Father's jurisdiction, I've now free reign of what I can do. That means I can unleash my power if you truly want to experience it. I'm sure my brother Whis must have told you about what's I can do. Sure, let's take it for a little spin. I fear I may not a get a better chance than now if our next destination only consists of human mortals. Though those virtual worlds and the final destination sound intriguing as well.”, Vados answered.
Hearing Vados answer Nao, he nodded. Towa and Chronoa also chimed in. Towa even looked at Chronoa with a grin.
”Hoho, so all of us are going to fight you? Then if we win, can I feel up Chronoa's thighs? Just seeing her like this really makes me want to~”
After Towa said that with a teasing tone, a deep red appeared on Chronoa's cheeks before she retorted.
”A-A-As if I'd let you do that! Hmph if you're going to be that way then I'll make you eat my special pudding!”
”...?”, Towa responded, questioning her, only to her head in confusion. She became even more confused seeing the nearby girls start to shudder a bit, only to turn silent after. Vados and Caulifla also found this confusing since they've yet to experience that as well.
Elsa's face twitched a bit before she urged a couple girls and herself and pushed Towa and Chronoa from behind, urging them to head back toward the White Palace.
”A-Anyways, we'll set this battle royale up after Caulifla wakes Kale. Let's go on in, I'd rather not keep smelling this foul smell.”, Elsa said as she urged the two.
Everyone complied with Elsa and Towa didn't question further. Her confusion lingered as the girls flew toward the White Palace. Nao didn't hesitate after looking at the dark violet planet in front of him for a final time, and followed suit. He joined up with the girls.
He figured he spent a few hours with discussing the layout pf the Overlord Plane to the girls. He was glad he did too, to set the girls with the correct mindset. Until the transfer happened, Overlord was a really shitty place to live in.
It had no government. Very expensive tuition fees for even the lowest elementary school education. Everything was essentially run by conglomerate monopolies. The rich lived lavishly while the lower and middle class were treated like slaves.
Crime was frequent. The police system only existed in name. Polluted air and dirtied water. Not a single ounce of greenery to enjoy. Get the idea?
Year 2120 Overlord was essentially a living hell. That's why Momonga, aka Suzuki Satoru, the main protagonist of the story, reacted severely when he saw the very clear sky and outer space the moment he arrived in the New World.
But that would soon come after Nao had his battle royale with the girls and initiated his Soul Transfer. But little did he know they came into a surprise after arriving in the reception room.
