Mobius M. Mobius PoV:
As we exited the dark swirling void, what lay ahead of us was a cemetery about 200 meters wide in all four directions. It was enclosed by 6-meter tall perimeter walls surrounding the tomb, with two entrances at the front and back gates. There were lots of statues of goddesses and angels dotting around the cemetery. In addition, there were 4 mausoleums or tombs in the four cardinal directions with a large mausoleum in the center. The surroundings of the center mausoleum held eight 10 meter tall armor-wearing figures. That black swirling void must have been some sort of dimensional gate that transported us to this place.
"You should be thankful for having an audience with the supreme being. The last foolish humans who invaded here were all slaughtered without exception." Demiurge spoke as matter-of-factly.
Not that his words brought any sort of encouragement. They could only hope that this lady who they refer to as the 'supreme being' would be willing to listen to them. Maybe they could just get through this ruined day safely if they could talk to her properly.
Upon walking to the entrance of the largest mausoleum, there were other maids lined up over there. Most looked human, except that one maid who looked like a spider attempting to mimic a human.
"Solution, you can join them in keeping a watch here until lady White gives further orders." Demiurge spoke. The maid, solution, quietly joined the other maids who bowed in perfectly practised co-ordination.
From what I can gather so far, this 'lady White' or the 'Supreme Being' is the one in charge here, with Demiurge right behind her. There could be others on Demiurge's level as well but that is not yet certain. They also do not seem to lack resources as implied by the beautiful architecture visible in the surroundings. And while I am not certain how genuine their feelings towards lady White are, they seem to mimic how cultists would view their god.
"Welcome to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the holy grounds built and inhabited by the Supreme beings." Demiurge spoke with his hand widely raised in the air as we entered the mausoleum.
He said Supreme Being's'. So there is more than one ruler here. If this is a cult, maybe they follow a structure like the Greek pantheon. Another question is, why would they build their 'holy grounds' inside a Mausoleum.
Demiurge did not give them more time to think as he gently stroked the ring on his hand. Mobius could be wrong but he thought that he heard a vague, almost inaudible muttering saying 'my precious' from somewhere. He was possibly hallucinating due to stress.
Within the split second that he closed his eyes, all of them were in a new place. A hall with a huge gate at its end. A demon and an angel in front of it, as if they were the gatekeepers. He did not have more time to inspect the surroundings as the gates were opened by an old man in a butler suit. As they followed Demiurge inside they witnessed what seemed to be a throne room. There were thrones on both sides of the room with the walls being adorned by exquisite flags. There multiple clearly non-human's standing in front of the stairs at the end of the room.
A beautiful woman with black hair and black wings. If it weren't for the horns on top of her head you would think she was an angel. Two children who seemed to be twins, a boy and a girl with heterochromatic eyes and long years like elves. A giant insectoid creature holding a halberd. And two more women who he can be sure were also some sort of monsters even if they seemed relatively normal. All of them seemed to be glaring daggers at us as if they wished to tear us apart. As he was going to look towards the throne at the top of the stairs to see the 'supreme being', he heard Demiurge speak,
"KNEEL DOWN ON YOUR KNEES. BOW YOUR HEADS BEFORE THE SUPREME ONE." Their knees instantly gave away as their head fells towards the floor due to the sudden pressure applied. Mobius could hear footsteps walking towards the stairs as Demiurge spoke once more,
" I apologise for being late, lady White. I have brought the invaders as ordered. Solution has confiscated all their weapons and tools."
'It's fine Demiurge. Let them raise their heads.' They heard a soft, calm and beautiful voice in their minds.
"YOU ARE PERMITTED TO RAISE YOUR HEADS." And with that we could see the 'supreme one'. All Mobius could think of looking at her was 'white'. Shaking away unnecessary thoughts, Mobius thought about how to approach this conversation. Talking was his speciality after all, unlike fighting. This was his domain.

Shiraori PoV:
As we were waiting for Demiurge, I sorted out some other matters that I had to address. Luckily the NPC's are super capable and not to mention dependable so everything was handled quickly. Along with all the other things I have already planned and mentioned, I should meet all the NPC's once as well. I can check everyone's settings along with Albedo's. Due to my presence, their settings could have been different from the original as well, but at the very least the guardians seem to be behaving as they would have in overlord.
Luckily, Demiurge did not make us wait for long as the gates opened once more. Now let's quickly sort out this mess, so I can figure out what actions to take and then relax. Or so I assumed everything would work out.
The people who appeared following Demiurge definitely did not appear in overlord, or kumo desu for that matter. Even their clothing was rather modern. These sorts of clothes don't belong to the new world, unless I transmigrated to the future instead of the same time period as Ainz did. As Demiurge made them kneel I just took a long stare at all of them. That man in the front seems familiar somehow. I am certain I have seen him somewhere but I can't remember where. I then typed and replied to Demiurge's apology for being late, though I thought he came back rather quickly:
'It's fine Demiurge. Let them raise their heads.'
As I made eye contact with the man, the familiarity I felt earlier was definitely not wrong. I did know him somehow. What I can be sure of now is that this most likely is not the new world. There is still a possibility that it is a crossover world. I quickly asked,
'What is your name? And where is our current location right now?'
He took a pause and replied: "My name is Mobius and we are in Mexico, Earth in the year 401 BCE."
Nani? We are in Mexico? That too in 401 BCE. And the name Mobius definitely rings a bell. That name along with his look. Now I remember where I saw him. Oh no. NOO!!!It's not that world right? Definitely not. I can feel my slacker life slipping away if that's true. Ugh, I'll just confirm it myself quickly, this stress is not good for my health.
I opened my eyes and used the evil eye of past sight on Mobius. And the steady influx of information confirmed my suspicions. This is definitely the marvel world. Or at least has the marvel worldview in it. That in itself is horrible. Imagine if it was a blend of DC and Marvel. The silver lining is that the TVA I saw in Mobius's memories was the one from the Loki tv show, so they are easier to take care of with the power of Nazarick if handled properly. But that does not confirm if marvel comics elements are present in this worldview as well. Knowing my luck and how the universe wants to deny me my slacker life, this universe will most likely have elements of marvel comics as well. I could feel my self-control slipping. I give up, just let me live peacefully.
Nai waa….
