Hades watched Albedo reflect the iron ball fired by a soldier, directly blowing off the soldier's head. Blood splattered everywhere, and a large amount of blood gushed from the soldier's neck.
"As expected, these guys didn't hold back just because they came to the real world," Hades thought to himself.
No matter how these natives fought among themselves, they were not natives, but people who came from a civilized world, and they possessed the strength to crush these soldiers. Yet, Momonga just let the NPCs kill them.
Hades didn't believe that Momonga still didn't recognize the strength of these people. With their power, they could have easily captured them instead of just taking their lives.
"As expected of a notorious heteromorphic guild, even after coming to the real world, they still don't treat killing as a big deal."
Hades believed that even if one had to kill in necessary moments, they would make the decision after careful consideration. Although the other world was likely at a medieval level of civilization where killing might be common, he had adhered to the moral values of the civilized world for nearly thirty years.
It was impossible to change in a short time. He hadn't directly raided Momonga's house because he was afraid of harming the villagers.
However, Momonga seemed to have no such concerns. Hades had confirmed this was the real world after just a few hours, so Momonga must have been aware of it.
Yet, Momonga still made the rash decision to kill, even though his strength meant he didn't need to kill to resolve the situation. Hades was now somewhat glad about his decision not to leave, otherwise, with the terrible values of the Ainz Ooal Gown members, they would surely come after him in the future.

"Albedo, you should know that weapon can't hurt me. I don't need it," Momonga said to Albedo with a slightly complaining tone.
"Please wait, Ainz-sama, to fight a Supreme Being, one must at least possess a certain level of combat power. Such an iron ball attack is simply too disrespectful!"
Albedo was furious; the rat-like attack enraged her. Such a move felt like an insult to the great Supreme Being.
"If that's the case, then Nigun and his group don't even have the qualifications to fight, do they?" Momonga felt relieved by Albedo's protective behavior, and there was a hint of ease in his voice.
Just as Momonga and Albedo were talking, Nigun suddenly pointed at them, commanding the angel beside him with a confident yet seemingly fearful tone.
"Surveillance Authority Angel! Go! Kill them!"
The Surveillance Authority Angel was an angel clad in full armor, holding a massive spiked mace in one hand and a shield in the other. It was an angel-type monster summoned by Nigun using a Fourth-Tier summoning spell.
Its strength was greater than that of a Flame Archangel. The reason it hadn't been deployed until now was due to its special skill: as long as it remained stationary, it would boost the defense of all allies within its field of vision.
However, Nigun could no longer afford to consider such things. Giving such an order proved that Nigun was out of options. He hoped the Surveillance Authority Angel could eliminate these two; this was an angel comparable to a "Hero" class.
"Step back! Albedo!" Momonga yelled upon seeing this.
Albedo could only temporarily retreat behind Momonga, staring intently at the group opposite them. As soon as Ainz-sama gave the word, Albedo swore to end the lives of those rats in the most cruel way possible.
The Surveillance Authority Angel's attack came swiftly. Momonga raised his gloved left hand to meet it, and the massive spiked mace slammed down with unparalleled force.
But no matter how powerful the momentum, the disparity in strength was insurmountable. Momonga casually endured the angel's repeated attacks.
When the Surveillance Authority Angel's spiked mace struck Momonga again, he directly gripped the weapon, which was larger than his own body. All of the Surveillance Authority Angel's movements abruptly paused, as if frozen.
"Oh dear… now it's my turn to counterattack." No emotion could be seen on Momonga's skeletal face, but from his tone, one could guess he was trying to express mockery.
But just as Momonga was about to use the magic "Hellfire," he was surprised to find that he couldn't activate the spell. This made him pause, and then a bad premonition washed over him.
The enemies opposite Momonga seemed to be frozen in a single moment, unmoving.

Hades calmly applied various buffs to himself. Many of these buffs focused on strengthening warriors, with limited effect for a Magic Caster.
Because he had no intention of using a Magic Caster to decide the outcome against the opponent, but rather to engage in close combat as a warrior. In fact, this was currently the only option to kill Momonga with the least cost.
As a Magic Caster, Momonga's body was fragile. Without any preparation, a top warrior's combo could instantly kill a Magic Caster.
And Momonga was a pure Magic Caster, without any impurities.
Hades was killed by Momonga's special skill— "The goal of all life is death"—when 1500 people attacked the The Great Tomb of Nazarick.
At that time, he didn't recognize this skill. After much inquiry, he got the answer from the guild member "Sursana."
"The goal of all life is death" is a skill possessed by the special class "Eclipse," which is unlocked by specializing in Necromancy magic.
The guild member "Sursana" knew because her character had the same class combination as Momonga. It was not uncommon for identical characters to appear in YGGDRASIL.
This contradicted the official claim that identical class characters would not appear, but it couldn't stop players from exchanging information. If any hidden class was discovered, there would always be people who imitated it.
Hades didn't know if "Sursana" was imitating publicly available information or had discovered it by chance, but it provided Hades with great convenience.
Hades conducted detailed research on "Sursana's" class and skills. Although there might be some differences in magic, the basic characteristic abilities would not vary much.
As for character stats, that depended on the equipment, but Hades would estimate it towards a full set of Divine-class items.
During that period, he almost always stuck close to "Sursana" whenever he had free time. It was also because of this opportunity that Hades, who was originally a transparent figure in the guild, got along well with several core guild members.
And Hades's choice of an Undead as the storage character for the "world tree seed" also stemmed from his desire to study Momonga.
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.
