**[00:34] ---**
Captain of one of the six scriptures
that serves the Six Great Gods,
**[00:39] ---**
Nigun Grid Lewin of the Sunlit Scripture.
**[00:43] ---**
Yes.
**[00:45] ---**
Eliminate the strongest warrior
of the Re-Estize Kingdom,
**[00:48] ---**
Gazef Stronoff.
**[00:54] ---**
This is a treasured item that
contains a miracle of the gods.
**[00:57] ---**
Use it if you must.
**[01:01] ---**
Attention, all units.
**[01:03] ---**
Our prey has entered the cage.
**[01:06] ---**
Devote your faith to God.
**[01:13] ---**
*Where did the answer go? Search for it*
**[01:18] ---**
*Where's my soul?*
**[01:29] ---**
*It's like a fear, just like a nightmare*
**[01:31] ---**
*Even when I wake, all I've got is bones*
**[01:34] ---**
*I'm in a panic? Get out, hurry*
**[01:36] ---**
*Oh, there're mysteries and miseries*
**[01:39] ---**
*Dead or alive, I'm being
swayed by the line between them*
**[01:41] ---**
*If I wander, right to left to hell*
**[01:44] ---**
*Invitation to loneliness,
withdrawal of emotion*
**[01:46] ---**
*I dance 1, 2, 3 steps on this dark stage*
**[01:49] ---**
*Raise your flag, march on, fight*
**[01:51] ---**
*My hand reaches for the mask's edge,
but only my bones resound*
**[01:54] ---**
*Wars and swords, tears and blood*
**[01:56] ---**
*I suddenly find myself
laughing at the overflowing power*
**[02:02] ---**
*Where is the answer? Search for it*
**[02:07] ---**
*Where's my soul? Where's my heart?*
**[02:10] ---**
*I'm getting swallowed up by reality*
**[02:12] ---**
*Don't hesitate, go this way*
**[02:17] ---**
*I don't know, I don't care*
**[02:20] ---**
*Even if I'm moving an imitation*
**[02:23] ---**
*I just have to live on in this world*
**[02:27] ---**
*Ah, the sadness of loss aches once again*
**[02:32] ---**
*Misery-World*
**[02:44] ---**
You're right, there are people.
**[02:46] ---**
They've surrounded the village
in equally spaced intervals.
**[02:49] ---**
Who are they exactly?
**[02:52] ---**
Only the Slane Theocracy could
send out this many magic casters at once.
**[02:56] ---**
And they're part of the special ops unit
directly under the Head Priest.
**[03:00] ---**
It must be one of the six scriptures.
**[03:03] ---**
They, the ones who attacked earlier...
**[03:06] ---**
They were dressed as
soldiers from the Empire,
**[03:09] ---**
but it looks like they were
actually from the Slane Theocracy.
**[03:12] ---**
As I thought.
**[03:14] ---**
Does this village hold that much value?
**[03:17] ---**
Sir Gown, if you have
no idea why they are attacking...
**[03:20] ---**
then there is only one reason
they are attacking this place.
**[03:25] ---**
It looks like you are
quite despised, Head Warrior.
**[03:28] ---**
This is quite a problem.
**[03:31] ---**
To think that even the
Slane Theocracy is after me...
**[03:36] ---**
But that's an Archangel Flame, right?
**[03:40] ---**
Why is a monster from Yggdrasil here?
**[03:43] ---**
Sir Gown.
**[03:45] ---**
I'd like to hire you if possible.
**[03:47] ---**
I will be sure to reward you as you wish.
**[03:50] ---**
I decline.
**[03:53] ---**
I see.
**[03:55] ---**
Then, please take care, Sir Gown.
**[03:58] ---**
Thank you again for saving this village.
**[04:03] ---**
I am really, truly grateful.
**[04:07] ---**
I know this is a selfish request,
but please protect them once more.
**[04:13] ---**
I have nothing to give you
at this moment, but I beg of you.
**[04:16] ---**
I beg...
**[04:19] ---**
There is no need for you to go that far.
**[04:22] ---**
I understand.
**[04:23] ---**
I will be sure to protect the villagers.
**[04:26] ---**
I will put my name,
Ains Ooal Gown, on the line.
**[04:30] ---**
Then, I will have nothing to worry about.
**[04:32] ---**
I will just focus on the enemy before me!
**[04:36] ---**
Then, please take this.
**[04:41] ---**
A gift from one such as you?
I will accept it gratefully.
**[04:47] ---**
Good-bye.
**[04:49] ---**
I wish you luck in battle.
**[04:58] ---**
When I first met the humans here,
I saw them as no more than insects.
**[05:03] ---**
But I grow fond as I converse with them,
**[05:05] ---**
coming to see them as small animals.
**[05:08] ---**
Is that why you went as far as
promising him with your great name?
**[05:14] ---**
Perhaps.
**[05:16] ---**
Lord Ains.
**[05:18] ---**
Why is the head warrior leaving?
**[05:22] ---**
Their aim is the head warrior.
**[05:25] ---**
Th-Then, should we stay here like this?!
**[05:29] ---**
That is not the case.
**[05:30] ---**
We should escape once the
head warrior breaks the ring of soldiers.
**[05:35] ---**
He will cause a ruckus as he escapes,
to make an opening for us.
**[05:43] ---**
We will attack the enemy head on!
**[05:45] ---**
Break through the soldiers and
lead the enemy away from the village!
**[05:49] ---**
After that, continue to retreat!
**[05:51] ---**
Don't miss the timing!
**[05:53] ---**
Understood!
**[05:54] ---**
Go!
**[05:55] ---**
Cut open their bowels!
**[06:13] ---**
Head Warrior!
**[06:30] ---**
I see.
**[06:32] ---**
Martial Art.
**[06:36] ---**
Focus Battle Aura!
**[06:48] ---**
Anything goes with magic.
**[06:50] ---**
Bastards.
**[06:52] ---**
But this is all according to plan.
**[06:56] ---**
Sir Gown, I'm depending on you.
**[07:03] ---**
Stay by Head Warrior's side until the end!
**[07:04] ---**
We're the ones who will
protect the country and its people!
**[07:08] ---**
I told you guys to retreat
once you grab the enemy's attention!
**[07:13] ---**
You're all idiots...
**[07:15] ---**
And men I'm truly proud of.
**[07:28] ---**
We are at a complete military disadvantage.
**[07:34] ---**
Then, the one we have to
target is the commander!
**[07:41] ---**
You're in my way!
**[07:46] ---**
Martial Art, Six Fold Slash of Light!
**[07:53] ---**
Martial Art, Instant Counter!
**[07:57] ---**
Flow Acceleration!
**[08:06] ---**
We can do it!
**[08:07] ---**
We can win!
**[08:10] ---**
Impressive.
**[08:12] ---**
To have mastered that many
attack skills, but it's not enough.
**[08:17] ---**
Summon the next set of angels.
**[08:20] ---**
Focus your magical attacks on Stronoff.
**[08:31] ---**
This is bad.
**[08:36] ---**
Big Sis.
**[08:39] ---**
It's all right, Nemu.
**[09:12] ---**
Finish him off.
**[09:13] ---**
However, don't attack with just one.
**[09:16] ---**
Ensure his death
with multiple angels.
**[09:25] ---**
Don't underestimate me!
**[09:34] ---**
I am the Kingdom's head warrior!
**[09:36] ---**
I am one who loves and
protects this country!
**[09:39] ---**
There is no way I'd lose to bastards
who want to dirty this kingdom!
**[09:45] ---**
You will die here precisely
because you spout such nonsense.
**[09:50] ---**
Gazef Stronoff, what can
you do in that state?
**[09:54] ---**
Once we kill you,
we will massacre the villagers.
**[09:58] ---**
Stop this futile resistance
and fall quietly.
**[10:03] ---**
As an act of mercy, I will
make sure your death is painless.
**[10:10] ---**
What's so funny?
**[10:12] ---**
What a fool.
**[10:14] ---**
There is someone
stronger than I in that village.
**[10:17] ---**
A bluff? Angels. Kill Stronoff.
**[10:25] ---**
Looks like it's almost time to switch.
**[10:30] ---**
Th-This is?
**[10:33] ---**
This is the village storage house.
**[10:36] ---**
Lord Ains has set a magic barrier here.
**[10:40] ---**
Where is Sir Gown?
**[10:41] ---**
Well, he suddenly disappeared
and you appeared in his place.
**[10:53] ---**
I see.
**[11:07] ---**
Who are you?
**[11:09] ---**
Nice to meet you,
people of the Slane Theocracy.
**[11:13] ---**
My name is Ains Ooal Gown.
**[11:17] ---**
Please call me Ains.
**[11:27] ---**
I have a bit of a
relationship with that village.
**[11:31] ---**
Have you come to beg for
the lives of the villagers?
**[11:34] ---**
No, no.
**[11:36] ---**
Actually...
**[11:39] ---**
I overheard your conversation
with the head warrior.
**[11:43] ---**
You really have a lot of balls.
**[11:47] ---**
You announced that you'll massacre
the villagers that I bothered saving.
**[11:54] ---**
I cannot imagine anything more offensive.
**[11:57] ---**
Offensive?! Big words, magic caster.
**[12:01] ---**
So, what will you do about it?
**[12:03] ---**
Offer your life to me without resistance.
**[12:07] ---**
If you do so, there will be no pain.
**[12:09] ---**
However, if you refuse,
**[12:12] ---**
you will die painfully and
in despair for your foolishness.
**[12:19] ---**
Have the angels attack!
**[12:26] ---**
How pathetic.
**[12:28] ---**
This is what happens
when you make stupid bluffs.
**[12:33] ---**
Didn't I tell you?
**[12:35] ---**
"Offer your life to me without resistance."
**[12:39] ---**
Don't you know it's important
to listen to the warnings of others?
**[12:43] ---**
Impossible!
It must be some kind of trick!
**[12:46] ---**
High Tiered Physical Nullification.
**[12:48] ---**
It's a passive skill that completely
nullifies the physical attacks
**[12:53] ---**
of low-leveled weapons and monsters.
**[12:58] ---**
So they really are the
Archangel Flames from Yggdrasil.
**[13:05] ---**
I want to know why you all can use
the same magic and summons as Yggdrasil,
**[13:13] ---**
but I'll put that aside for now.
**[13:17] ---**
It's my turn now.
**[13:20] ---**
Here I come! This is a massacre.
**[13:23] ---**
Have all the angels attack at once! Hurry!
**[13:27] ---**
Albedo, stand back.
**[13:29] ---**
Yes.
**[13:30] ---**
Negative Burst!
**[13:37] ---**
Wha...?! Impossible...
**[13:40] ---**
There is someone
stronger than I in that village.
**[13:44] ---**
Wha...?!
**[13:44] ---**
M-Monster!
**[13:45] ---**
Holy Ray!
**[13:45] ---**
Poison!
**[13:46] ---**
Shockwave!
**[13:46] ---**
Fire Rain!
**[13:48] ---**
Confusion!
**[13:48] ---**
Charge of Stalagmite!
**[13:49] ---**
Open Wounds!
**[13:49] ---**
Fire!
**[13:50] ---**
Blindness!
**[13:50] ---**
Word of Curse!
**[13:52] ---**
As I thought, these are
all spells from Yggdrasil.
**[13:56] ---**
Who taught you that magic?!
**[14:06] ---**
What happened?
**[14:08] ---**
Albedo. You should know that
such aerial weapons would do me no harm.
**[14:15] ---**
There was no need
for you to use your strength.
**[14:17] ---**
Please wait, Lord Ains.
**[14:19] ---**
There is a bare minimum that must
be met to fight with you, Supreme One.
**[14:25] ---**
To throw such a small and
insignificant pebble at you...
**[14:29] ---**
If you say that, these insects
themselves fail to pass.
**[14:33] ---**
Right?
**[14:35] ---**
Principality of Observation! Attack!
**[14:49] ---**
My, my. I guess I should fight back.
**[14:52] ---**
Hell Flame.
**[15:01] ---**
One hit?
**[15:04] ---**
That's impossible!
**[15:06] ---**
There's no way a high level angel
could be destroyed with one spell!
**[15:10] ---**
Captain Nigun! What should we do?
**[15:15] ---**
We will summon the highest level angel!
**[15:19] ---**
That's...
**[15:22] ---**
Based on how it glows,
**[15:24] ---**
that's a sealing crystal that can seal
any magic other than top tier spells.
**[15:29] ---**
So they even have Yggdrasil items.
**[15:32] ---**
Albedo, use your skill to protect me.
**[15:36] ---**
Yes!
**[15:39] ---**
Look, the shining form
of the highest of angels!
**[15:43] ---**
Dominion Authority!
**[15:57] ---**
This angel is your strongest trump card?
**[16:00] ---**
That's right.
**[16:02] ---**
I have determined that you are
worthy enough to use this item.
**[16:08] ---**
I'm speechless.
**[16:10] ---**
Are you afraid? It cannot be helped.
**[16:15] ---**
This is stupid.
**[16:16] ---**
What?!
**[16:17] ---**
I was on guard against such child's play?
**[16:22] ---**
Child's play? What are you saying?
**[16:26] ---**
I-It can't be...
**[16:27] ---**
No, it's impossible!
**[16:29] ---**
In front of an existence
which mankind cannot defeat...
**[16:31] ---**
You're bluffing!
**[16:33] ---**
Use Holy Smite!
**[16:39] ---**
This is seventh tier magic
that no man can go against.
**[16:43] ---**
Taste the power that annihilates demons,
the judgment of God!
**[16:58] ---**
So this is what it feels
like to take damage!
**[17:01] ---**
This is pain!
**[17:04] ---**
Y-Y-You lower life forms!
**[17:10] ---**
Lord Ains! To the one I-I love so deeply!
**[17:15] ---**
To cause him pain!
Know your place, you piece of trash!
**[17:20] ---**
It's fine, Albedo.
**[17:22] ---**
B-But, Lord Ains.
**[17:24] ---**
It's fine.
**[17:26] ---**
Aside from the surprising
weakness of the angels,
**[17:28] ---**
everything is going as planned.
**[17:33] ---**
It's my turn now. Know despair!
**[17:37] ---**
Black Hole!
**[17:50] ---**
A power that surpasses demons.
Who in the world are you?
**[17:56] ---**
Ains Ooal Gown.
**[17:59] ---**
In the past, there was no one
who did not know this name.
**[18:06] ---**
Wh-What was that?
**[18:08] ---**
It seems someone was watching you
from afar, using information magic.
**[18:15] ---**
My counterattacking
defense barrier activated
**[18:18] ---**
so they must not have seen much.
**[18:21] ---**
My country was watching me?
**[18:25] ---**
Enough playing around.
**[18:27] ---**
W-W-W-W-Wait a second!
**[18:29] ---**
Sir Ains Ooal Gown. No, Lord!
**[18:32] ---**
All of us... No, I alone am enough!
**[18:35] ---**
If you spare my life, I will give you
whatever r-reward you wish!
**[18:39] ---**
You are mistaken.
**[18:42] ---**
Lower life forms such as humans
should bow their head in wait
**[18:47] ---**
and be thankful when their lives are taken.
**[18:51] ---**
Lower life forms?!
**[18:55] ---**
If I remember correctly...
**[18:58] ---**
"Stop this futile resistance
and fall quietly."
**[19:02] ---**
"As an act of mercy, I will
make sure your death is painless."
**[19:14] ---**
I wonder if my actions were
acceptable as the Lord of Nazarick?
**[19:20] ---**
Shit. So freaking cool, Lord Ains.
**[19:23] ---**
What's wrong, Albedo?
**[19:26] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[19:27] ---**
But, Lord Ains, why did
you save that human?
**[19:31] ---**
You even gave him such an important item.
**[19:34] ---**
It was a useless item from the
500 yen *gacha* machine, though.
**[19:38] ---**
I could have gone in your place.
**[19:41] ---**
There was no need to personally
save a lower life form, Lord Ains.
**[19:46] ---**
I know your strength and trust you, Albedo.
**[19:50] ---**
However, until we know
more about this world,
**[19:54] ---**
we must always move forward
believing the enemy is stronger than us.
**[19:58] ---**
So that's why you used that man as a pawn.
**[20:02] ---**
I believe your use of humans is impeccable.
**[20:06] ---**
However, wasn't taking on
the angel's blade a bad move?
**[20:11] ---**
You think so?
**[20:13] ---**
Even if I know that you'll
come out unscathed,
**[20:16] ---**
is there any woman who can tolerate
a blade harming the one they love?
**[20:21] ---**
Oh. Yes.
**[20:24] ---**
Let's go back, to our home.
**[20:27] ---**
Yes, Lord Ains.
**[20:31] ---**
First, I apologize for moving on my own.
**[20:36] ---**
Albedo will tell you all that has happened.
**[20:39] ---**
However, there is one thing
I must say immediately.
**[20:44] ---**
Greater Break Item!
**[20:47] ---**
I have changed my name.
**[20:50] ---**
From now on, my name is Ains Ooal Gown.
**[20:56] ---**
You shall call me Ains!
**[20:59] ---**
If you have any objections,
stand and voice them now!
**[21:02] ---**
We have heard your precious name.
**[21:04] ---**
We devote absolute loyalty
to our venerable leader.
**[21:08] ---**
Hail Lord Ains Ooal Gown!
**[21:11] ---**
Hail Lord Ains Ooal Gown!
**[21:15] ---**
We shall give ourselves
completely to the Supreme One!
**[21:19] ---**
To the most powerful king.
To the most powerful king.
**[21:22] ---**
Everyone in this world
will know of your greatness.
**[21:26] ---**
The one who rules over all, our king.
**[21:30] ---**
Glory to the Overlord, the ruler of death!
**[21:34] ---**
This is an absolute order!
Make Ains Ooal Gown an eternal legend!
**[21:42] ---**
The land, sky, and sea.
**[21:46] ---**
I will spread the name of Ains
Ooal Gown to all intelligent creatures.
**[21:52] ---**
So that my name will reach friends
that may have come to this world.
**[22:01] ---**
*Don't you give me your love and passion?*
**[22:03] ---**
*(Believe in love, even though
there're borders and disturbances and more)*
**[22:07] ---**
*(I'm the only one who loves you
because I'm crazy about you)*
**[22:12] ---**
*Let's ride to hell, I'll serve you and go*
**[22:15] ---**
*If it means we can be together,
I wish we could die*
**[22:17] ---**
*Beyond the line there is no ending*
**[22:19] ---**
*I swear, I'm gonna be so fxxking grateful*
**[22:22] ---**
*Blessing word, you are supreme*
**[22:24] ---**
*I follow your orders loyally, your highness*
**[22:26] ---**
*You give orders, I won't give you to anyone*
**[22:29] ---**
*You are the most treasured existence*
**[22:31] ---**
*You don't know why my love is crying*
**[22:33] ---**
*I want to adhere,
to the point of excessiveness*
**[22:36] ---**
*I want eternity, don't wanna cry*
**[22:38] ---**
*I'm about to go crazy
with my jealous delusions*
**[22:43] ---**
*Don't you give me your love and passion?*
**[22:45] ---**
*Love is a riotous impulse, let go*
**[22:47] ---**
*Instinct over spirit,
I demand more of your heart*
**[22:52] ---**
*I don't want to live in a world without you*
**[22:54] ---**
*Any future other than you, kill it, kill it*
**[22:59] ---**
*I would be happy to kill it for my love*
**[23:10] ---**
*(I'm imagining now, if you're mine.)*
**[23:12] ---**
*(It's like a paradise and haven and more)*
**[23:14] ---**
*(You're the only man who I love
in my life and destiny and all)*
**[23:21] ---**
*Don't you give me your love and passion?*
**[23:23] ---**
*I know the border. It
should be wrecked, go!*
**[23:31] ---**
Demiurge. Tell everyone about
your conversation with Lord Ains.
**[23:37] ---**
As Lord Ains gazed at
the night sky, he told me this:
**[23:42] ---**
"I may have come to this land to
obtain this untouched box of treasures."
**[23:51] ---**
And in the end, he said this:
**[23:54] ---**
"Taking over the world might be enjoyable."
