With the foundations now established in this new world, the first steps of Ains Ooal Gown's apparent master project are beginning to bear fruit. The city of Carne's costs are confirmed, and most importantly, the political costs of his alter ego, Momon; Demiurge, Albedo, the rest of his guardians, and even Ains himself are constantly shocked and amazed by his "tremendous intelligence". His attempts to play nice with the ruler of Nazarick, further cementing his Guardian's loyalty, propel him further down the path of unintended world domination. With no human consciousness as he is not dead, he is only motivated to move forward and try to find other Yggdrasil players and gain power to better defend the young and home from him and his forty old companions. Keeping his cloak as Overlord, Lord Ain's Ooal Gown brings the Massive Tomb of Nazarick onto the world stage, leading to a bitter power struggle between two monumental empires.
