After evolving everyone, Chaos had spent millions of mana to the point of almost getting emptied, it had made him feel rather sickly afterward, and even tired, something he had only felt when he fought the Blazing Fire Dragon…
In the end, he decided to go take a nap after eating some more food with everyone, and woke up rather early in the morning, around 8 AM.
Chaos felt incredibly well after waking up, he didn't remember sleeping so well ever before, especially because it could be said that this was the first nap he had ever taken in this world… a nap without being covered by tubes and syringes, nor being drugged by medicines and other stuff… it was a good sleep.
And now that things were done, he wanted to summon!
Since he had his first taste a few days ago that Chaos has been craving to summon more, but at that time he had not enough materials to even summon an F-Rank rat, and was also satisfied with Abyss at the moment…
However, after returning from the dungeon, he felt more than ready to summon once more! He was more than ready to finally utilize all the materials he had grind in the dungeon since he entered for around three days, he had several corpses of all the monsters he killed, and also had a big pile of magic crystals he mined from the ceiling of the dungeon back then!
"Belphegor, how many materials do we got? Do you think it is enough to summon someone like Abyss?" asked Chaos.
Belphegor, Abyss, Dura, and Natalia had decided to accompany their lord anywhere he went, and even another guest, Jack, the powerful Accursed Scarecrow had come here now, as Chaos had decided to assign "retainers", and these people were voted by their groups. Now, they were about to stick with him in most of these things. Although he could easily ask them to leave him alone if he wanted some privacy as well. Nonetheless, Chaos had been alone and abused his entire first life, so being with people that supported him seemed to make him happy and comfortable.
"We got enough materials to summon many entities, my lord! I am as excited as you! …However, the summon rate is completely random, a being as strong as Abyss is very low in the chance, it could be said that you spent all your luck when you summoned her," said Belphegor.
"Oh? Is that so… I guess I was quite lucky, she's an excellent fighter and also a nice person to be around," said Chaos, as Abyss blushed a bit.
"M-Master Chaos…" she muttered, feeling all kinds of things, although she suppressed them because she didn't want to annoy her lord by being as clingy as she had been being. Recently, she gained some common sense, although very small, when Chaos reprimanded her in the diner room, now she was trying to be more "calm" with her explosive emotions.
"Hm, I see, so this stuff is quite random, is it, my lord?" asked Jack, feeling curious about all kinds of things. As a former Cursed Broom, he felt very curious about many things in the world, and he wanted to discover everything, similar to Chaos. Additionally, he seemed more intelligent than most of his kin, and even than the other monsters, this is why they chose him as the representative of most of the inanimate object monsters through voting, and he became a new retainer of Chaos. He was fairly strong too.
"Indeed, you put stuff inside, and then it makes shiny lights. Afterward, someone comes out of it. I don't know how it works but my father must be a genius if he made such an artifact… I have a long way to go until the time I can even recreate such an item," said Chaos, his admiration over his father grew larger and larger.
"I see… Outstanding. Indeed, Master Ainz was an amazing man, I was lucky to have the pleasure of meeting him. Although in that time, I was rather stupid and thought more through the instinct of cleaning dust… so it wasn't as if I had the capacity of properly treasuring memories, although thankfully, they come back the more I think and wonder about this world," said Jack, he had become a rather eloquent man, and even quite gentlemanly on his manner of speech, despite being a tall and intimidating scarecrow that made cracking noises as his wooden body moved around… maybe he needed some oil.
Chaos felt surprised and interested as he heard more about his father from someone else.
"Even as a broom, you did a good work, Jack," said Chaos.
"Summoning… My lord, I have never seen anything like this… A-Am I even allowed to see this?" asked Natalia rather timidly.
"Well if you were invited here, you're obviously allowed girl!" said Dura, feeling rather angry at Natalia who got a whole realm ahead of her after being evolved… she had a slight amount of jealously, but she decided to contain it, although she acted quite rude when Natalia acted like a pushover.
"Indeed, if you were invited, you're obviously allowed, Natalia. You had the chance of being invited to such a glorious ritual as the one that brought me to this world, you should feel grateful!" said Abyss, as her yellow-gold eyes gleamed with malice.
"Erm… You're right, Dura, Abyss…" said Natalia.
"I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed. It is an interesting thing and I wish more people could see it, but everyone is busy and if we invite too many people here, the room might lose space necessary for all the summons that will emerge…" said Chaos.
Everyone nodded as suddenly, they stepped into the last stairs and reached the underground room where many artifacts were stored, those that had not been in here were very surprised, glancing at everything with wonder.
"Ah, I have cleaned this place before, this is Master Ainz's workshop!" said Jack.
