Overlord IV

E-Rantel, now the capital of the Sorcerer Kingdom, is hit by a severe shortage of supplies. Once thriving on commerce, the city’s trade has withered as its residents grow overly cautious—if not outright fearful—of their ruler, Ainz Ooal Gown. Hoping to smooth relations and restore stability, Ainz dispatches Albedo to E-Rantel as a diplomatic representative.

Elsewhere, the cardinals of the Slane Theocracy weigh their response to Ainz after his assault left the Re-Estize Kingdom’s army devastated, even entertaining a plan that would have the Baharuth Empire absorb the Sorcerer Kingdom. But when Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix meets with the Theocracy’s envoys at a colosseum, the situation spirals the moment Ainz appears in person.

With the covert talks exposed, Jircniv and his guests are forced to reckon with Ainz’s next move: a challenge to the Warrior King, the empire’s strongest combatant. Unable to grasp Ainz’s true intentions, the emperor can only watch as the balance of power—and humanity’s prospects—shift in real time.
