Demiurge didn't care about Albedo's glare that seemed to want to eat him. He hadn't asked Ainz-sama for instructions, but Ainz-sama's answer had already explained everything.
Even Ainz-sama was willing to lose a little face, and didn't intend to condone Albedo's mistakes. This showed that Ainz-sama was extremely dissatisfied with this incident.
As the most loyal servant of the Supreme Being, he had to solve problems for Ainz-sama. Such dereliction of duty must not be overlooked, otherwise the situation would become more serious in the future.
Demiurge looked at the guardians who were discussing and said loudly, "The matter is not as Albedo said. Ainz-sama was only repelled..."
"Demiurge!!!" Albedo scolded sharply, her eyes cold and terrifying.
But Demiurge continued to say to the guardians, "Ainz-sama was actually killed by the enemy. All of this was caused by Albedo's dereliction of duty. So, does everyone still have any questions about my proposal?"
As his voice fell, no one raised any objections, but they all looked at Demiurge with surprise and uncertainty, because Albedo had said before that Ainz-sama had been repelled. Although they heard a worse result at this time, their ability to accept it had improved a lot.
Naturally, their acceptance was followed by anger.
"Ainz-sama, your subordinate has no objection to Demiurge's proposal. As a guardian, failing to fulfill one's obligations is a serious dereliction of duty, but your subordinate believes that such a punishment is not enough. I hope to increase the intensity."
Shalltear was the first to stand up and speak. Putting aside her position as Albedo's love rival, whether as a guardian or for Ainz-sama, she believed that even if she died in battle, she couldn't let Ainz-sama suffer even a little harm.
But Albedo not only didn't repent for her mistakes, but instead wanted to hide and minimize her mistakes. If it wasn't for Demiurge, they would have been kept in the dark.
"Ainz-sama, I agree with Shalltear's proposal. Committing such a mistake is not as simple as dereliction of duty. Even suicide would not be an exaggeration."
Cocytus, who regarded himself as a samurai, couldn't accept that his master had been killed, but the master's sword had survived. Although he knew that he shouldn't force his principles on others, it didn't prevent him from agreeing with Shalltear's statement.
"Ainz-sama, your subordinate believes that Shalltear-sama's proposal is not inappropriate," Sebas also agreed with Shalltear.
Although he didn't have Cocytus' samurai mindset, he was also the head butler of Nazarick, and he naturally wouldn't condone subordinates making mistakes.
After almost all the guardians had expressed their opinions, Demiurge looked at the elf twins, "Although you also have some dereliction of duty, it is insignificant compared to Albedo's mistake. How to deal with you depends on Ainz-sama's opinion."
After speaking, Demiurge bowed to Momonga, "Ainz-sama, the matter is clear. Now, please dismiss Albedo from her position as Guardian Overseer and imprison her in the "Frozen Prison" for reflection."
Now all the guardians agreed to deal with Albedo, but Momonga knew in his heart that this matter couldn't be blamed on Albedo. The other party had used "Time Stop" magic.
Even if he and his companions had armed these level 100 NPCs with divine artifacts, they were still somewhat different from players. Time resistance could only be obtained through equipment, apart from individual racial characteristics.
But during the YGGDRASIL period, NPCs didn't have much effect on guild defense. Guild defense mainly relied on traps. He and his companions set up level 100 NPCs just for role-playing.
No one thought it was necessary to add time resistance to NPCs. Even without time resistance, the problem wasn't very serious in YGGDRASIL.
It was impossible to launch an attack during Time Stop. Even if they used magic delay, they could only delay one offensive magic. There were no restrictions on BUFF magic.
In short, in player PK, precise operation was required, and time resistance was a must. But for guild NPCs, it wasn't necessary.
It was precisely because of this that the current situation had occurred. Albedo didn't have time resistance, and this was completely beyond her ability.
Momonga didn't want to deal with Albedo, but if he didn't deal with Albedo, it might make the other guardians feel dissatisfied. He still had to consider everyone's opinions.
But if a guardian stood up to say a few words for Albedo at this time, he wouldn't be embarrassed and could take the opportunity to reduce the punishment.
That's right, Aura and Mare!
Momonga suddenly thought that they hadn't caused Demiurge to have too much dissatisfaction.
They had the least responsibility. Besides, Demiurge knew about this matter, and it was very likely that one of them had informed him.
And although Demiurge hadn't expressed dissatisfaction with the elf twins, he still said that he wanted to punish them in the end.
So in order to be able to exonerate themselves, they had to say a few words for Albedo now.
Hmm....this was a good idea, but he couldn't blatantly ask the elf twins to stand up.
Helpless, Momonga could only stare at Aura and Mare, hoping that they could understand what he meant.
Suddenly, Aura and Mare felt a chill. They found that Ainz-sama was staring at them intently at some point.
Mare's body trembled, and his pointed elf ears drooped even lower. Aura was also not as energetic as usual, and stood in place honestly, tensing her body.
In the end, Mare couldn't withstand Momonga's silent gaze and stood up tremblingly, raising his hand to Momonga.
"Oh? Mare? What do you want to say?"
Momonga was delighted in his heart. As expected of Mare, he understood what he meant.
"A...Ainz-sama, I...I...I agree..." Mare said stutteringly.
"Hmm? Agree with what?" Momonga was stunned.
"Agree with Shalltear's proposal," Mare said quickly. Ainz-sama must be staring at him because he hadn't expressed his position.
"Ah....uh....." Momonga was stunned again.
"That's not right. Why is it like this? Mare, this is not what I wanted to hear," Momonga shouted in his heart.
"Ainz-sama, I also agree with Shalltear's proposal," Aura also immediately stated her position.
Apart from Albedo, even the elf twins, who had made minor mistakes and remained silent, had already expressed their opinions. Demiurge said to Momonga again, "Ainz-sama, please be sure to agree. If you condone this mistake, it may cause even greater mistakes in the future."
Momonga naturally understood the principle that any small mistake, if left unchecked, might be infinitely magnified in the future. But the problem was that Albedo really couldn't be blamed this time.
But he didn't dare to refute Demiurge. Based on this matter alone, he believed that his authority had already declined in the hearts of the guardians.
If he insisted on violating the opinions of most people at this time, he was afraid that he would end up alienated from his subordinates.
If his authority remained unchanged, Momonga would have rejected Demiurge's request because Albedo didn't have time resistance.
But he couldn't do this now.
