【 "Alright, Astral Express Passengers, hurry back to your seats, I'm starting the countdown."
"Everyone get ready, three, two, one..."
Under Pom-Pom's countdown, the train's massive body began to accelerate gradually, and the chess pieces on the board also began to tremble. Then, a layer of blue membranous substance spread rapidly from the train's head, instantly enveloping the entire train.
The train seemed to have entered some spatial rift, disappearing in the blink of an eye. 】

"Is this the otherworld's warp technology?!"
Jayce opened his eyes wide with curiosity.
He couldn't imagine how this seemingly ordinary and somewhat retro-styled train had done it.
In his considerations, if the energy of the Hextech crystal could be perfectly activated, remote warp technology could be achieved.
However, according to the calculations, the energy required to warp larger objects would increase exponentially, and for an object the size of a train...
"Perhaps this is the power of the Aeons,"
Viktor murmured with a sigh.
A single word, Aeon, could easily bridge the enormous gap between the two worlds.

【 Accompanied by flashing lights, the train traversed from a singularity, and the blue substance around it gradually peeled off. To Stelle's astonished eyes, the train's warp had already ended.
The space station outside the window had disappeared, replaced by a huge, white planet, standing quietly in the distance.
This was their destination—Jarilo-VI.
"Thousands of years have passed, and Jarilo-VI has actually become like this..." Himeko compared it with the lush green planet in the database, sighing with emotion, "Time passes, and the world changes."
"That white planet, is that our destination?" March 7th's eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously hugged her arms.
Before even setting foot on this planet, a chill was already creeping up from the soles of her feet.
"Space readings are abnormal! Astral Express stability rate dropped to 12%!"
"The docking plan has changed, and the stopover time at this station has been extended from seven days to an indefinite period!" As Pom-Pom's warning sounded, Himeko's face was also covered with a rare layer of gloom. The atmosphere in the train seemed to be affected by Jarilo-VI, becoming cold and stiff.
"Indefinite..." Stelle looked at Himeko beside her.
"To use a regular land train as an analogy, it's like the advancing rails suddenly breaking, with a collapsing abyss below..." Himeko smiled helplessly, "At this time, we can only brake urgently, right?"
March 7th rubbed her forehead, obviously, this wasn't the first time she had seen this kind of situation.
"The preliminary test results are out, the source of the anomaly is still the 【Stellaron】."
Seeing the atmosphere of the discussion become stagnant, Welt slowly walked over, his gaze involuntarily turning to Stelle, "It's the same substance as the 【Stellaron】 placed in your body."
Stelle asked in confusion, "What exactly is the Stellaron?"
"There are many mysteries surrounding the 【Stellaron】, even Herta hasn't been able to fully analyze it. But you don't need to worry too much, we're not encountering a Stellaron blocking the route for the first time. Even if we don't understand the principle of the 【Stellaron】, there are still ways to counteract its effects."
Welt nodded, "The only thing we can be sure of is that the descent of the 【Stellaron】 will bring drastic changes to civilization and ecology, and it will also produce spatial distortions such as the Fracture."
"The reason why Jarilo-VI has become a frozen planet... I'm afraid it's inseparable from the influence of the 【Stellaron】."
"According to our conjecture, the 【Stellaron】 is a seed of disaster sown by a certain Aeon to various worlds. If the source of the calamity is not eradicated, there will be no 【Trailblaze】 to speak of." 】

~Overlord World~
~Great Tomb of Nazarick~
Cocytus, walking towards the Throne Room, had very heavy steps. And as if infected, the servants behind him also had heavy steps, slow, and even dared not raise their heads.
The reason for the heavy steps was the light curtain that appeared in the sky not long ago. The content that appeared inside was really incredible. Cocytus racked his brains and didn't expect that the humans who appeared inside could be so strong.
When the picture in the light curtain was playing the train warping, Cocytus received a message from his master, ordering him and the other Guardians to come to the Throne Room for an audience.
It shouldn't be just a simple meeting, but to hear their opinions of them, the Guardians.
——Especially those "Aeons."
Thinking of this, Cocytus' body stiffened. He, who had absolute resistance to freezing air and cold, trembled not from external causes, but from his heart.
Recalling the gaze of the Destruction Aeon, the intense pressure seemed to spread from his chest to his limbs, causing his steps to falter—
"Cocytus, do you intend to keep the Supreme Beings waiting?"
A cold voice came from the steps above. Cocytus raised his head sharply and saw Albedo and Shalltear looking down at him condescendingly.
In addition, Demiurge, Sebas, and other Guardians were also in place, standing on both sides of the stairs.
Everyone's eyes seemed to carry unspoken blame.
"Sorry, I'm late. If it's because of me that everyone is punished by the Supreme Beings—"
"Let's skip these words for now. If your slowness makes the Supreme Being Ainz-sama feel even slightly displeased, then you can only atone with your death."
Albedo's golden pupils contained a hint of blame, but punishing Cocytus would also take time, and they couldn't afford to delay.
After briefly explaining the precautions for the meeting, the Guardians, led by Albedo, entered the Throne Room with their respective servants.
Cocytus felt extremely happy entering the room he had only been to a few times.
The perfect architecture and carvings symbolized the outstanding taste of the Supreme Beings.
In addition, flags were symbolizing the Supreme Beings and World Items in the deepest part. Even Cocytus, as a Guardian, found it quite difficult to come to this room. Calling this the core of the Great Tomb of Nazarick was truly fitting.
After saluting the Ainz Ooal Gown guild mark on the wall, Cocytus and the other Guardians knelt down, lowered their heads, and waited quietly for their master to arrive.
"Welcome, the supreme ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown-sama!"
Yuri, the battle maid, announced, and the door slowly opened, accompanied by the crisp sound of shoes and the sound of a cane hitting the ground.
The sound of footsteps slowly passed by the Guardians, followed by the sound of climbing the stairs, and the sound of sitting on the throne. Albedo's voice echoed loudly in the hall.
"Everyone, please raise your heads and look upon the honorable face of Ainz Ooal Gown-sama."
Cocytus immediately raised his head, afraid that his slowness would displease the Supreme Being.
Holding the scepter symbolizing the ruler, shrouded in a terrifying aura, and with a mysterious dark light emanating from his back, the Supreme Being was the supreme ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Albedo slowly walked to the Supreme Being's side and bowed slightly.
"Ainz-sama, the Guardians have gathered before you. Please issue your orders."
"Hmm..."
Ainz heavily tapped the floor with the scepter in his hand, attracting everyone's attention. Then, he slowly opened his mouth,
"Welcome to my presence, Guardians. You have more or less guessed the purpose of my summoning you here."
The scepter was slowly raised, pointing to the light curtain that was clearly visible even through the wall—
"Regarding the 【Stellaron】 and the 【Aeons】, let each of you share your thoughts."

Translation note: WT... Ainz's introduction ate almost half of the chapter!
