“…”
“My apologies. That was off-topic. The power of the god you believe in. I think we won’t be able to learn it… so do you want to take part in a human experiment?”
“…human experiment?”
“That’s right. For instance, when we alter your memories so the god you believe in is someone else, what will happen after that?”
He’s insane. That was Roberdyck’s deepest and most honest thought about the situation.
No, he’s an undead. It wouldn’t be strange no matter what he did.
Ainz took a step back, looking with deep interest at Roberdyck. That look was the way a scholar would examine a laboratory animal, and it made Roberdyck want to throw up.
“Why, why do you want to do that?”
“To prove that god exists… eh, I’m not going to bother going on with that joke. Truthfully, I want to become stronger by understanding the nature of that power. And if those beings you call gods really exist, I want to know if they have emotions or thoughts. I want to confirm that. As for me, I have never thought of myself as a chosen being. In truth, there are many others like that.”
Roberdyck had no idea what Ainz was talking about.
“Therefore, expanding military preparations is essential. Of course, it may be that no enemies exist, or if they do exist, none of them are as strong as we are. However, don’t you think that the leader of an organization shouldn’t be negligent? After all, if we rest on our laurels, we’re likely to have our feet cut out from under us when we least expect it. Confirming the existence of gods is part of that. “
Ainz shrugged as he finished.
