Chapter 110: Preparation and goals

Minato stood before the first grave in his world.

It belonged to a man whose name he didn't even know. However, deep emotions always overwhelmed him and Aya, who often visited the grave with Husbando Overlord. Staring at the grave, Minato resolved himself.

"We will go to the middle world soon," he whispered.

Aya nodded.

It was not the only grave in his world. Many other dungeon races had fallen during the monster's assault.

All had their places inadequate lands.

Minato spent days going through each grave and giving them his prayers. His wife and Bei accompanied him in silence.

All wore black clothes and remained stoic.

For the first time, an immense heavy atmosphere shrouded Minato's world. That was unavoidable, and only time could cure it.

Minato didn't want to stop for too long, however.

Knowing that his identity was much more than just your usual earthling, Minato wanted to get answers to all his questions. He wanted to see the past and become stronger. The latter was always his goal, though.

Nevertheless, Minato primarily wanted to be accepted by his wife's family.

Now, Minato wanted to get power to clear all doubts and questions for himself. He was also curious and scared of Yuna's family due to the new clues.

"If he wasn't Husbando Overlord's spirit, then who is it?" Aya asked the same question yet again.

Minato lost count of how many times she had asked it already.

He closed his eyes, "Someone whom he treasured."

"Um," Aya nodded gently.

They spent a few more minutes before the grave, then turned around.

Aya lifted her hand and tightly held Minato's as they returned to the world tree. Here, Minato let her go and checked his equipment for the next adventure.

After confirming everything, Minato called his beloved.

While his ladies took time to climb up the world tree, the whole world drummed in a unique sound. That sound drew out all races and their inhabitants from their lands. All needed to attend the Overlord's call whether the mood was great or not.

They all took positions based on the achievement's scoreboard's ranking.

Behind Minato, Yuna and Bei appeared, their appearances blessing the crowd.

At the same time, the elven queen took Yuna's right side and glanced at all gathered races with a faint smile.

Aya was sleeping on the bed.

Now that all gathered, Minato's voice swept through them all, "I hope you all cope well with the losses we've suffered. That day was heartbreaking, but we all expected it deep within ourselves, didn't we?

I stood out from other Overlords... And my journey will never stop," Minato took a deep breath.

He continued, "In a few days, I will take a step toward the first medium world."

All dungeon races nodded.

While sadness still lingered on their faces, it was not the first time they had lost their beloved. They all accepted their friends' deaths in the dungeon as no one could save people from the hatred.

That, and many deaths due to the dungeon raiders and the evil races, also steeled their hearts.

They were overwhelmed this much only because of Minato's greatness. He turned their lives upside down and gave them a much better environment to live in and become stronger.

They leveraged him for too much!

When the disaster struck, they became lost and liable to the losses. It was time to drop that superfluous sense of security and prepare for the harsh times!

Minato eyed their changes and nodded gently, "Medium World is known to be much bigger than low worlds and more complex. People have cities, communities, and different systems in their dungeons.

Overlords... aren't welcomed here," Minato smirked.

If normal Overlords weren't welcomed here, what about a particular one called Minato Sansei?

"I think the whole world would turn at me," Minato laughed.

His dungeon races faintly smiled as well, imagining many different reactions to their master's appearance should his strength and uniqueness be known.

Their expressions took yet another turn for the better.

Minato then continued, "You will be able to reunite with your races as well. That is precisely why all of you must be prepared for a long separation.

The plan is simple: We will build foundations throughout the medium worlds. First, I will confirm the races in my first medium world, then prepare teams to go to other medium worlds. Those teams will be equipped with items soaked in my mana.

We will prepare you well," Minato said with confidence.

His goal?

It was to find the Overlords and Overlords' Enemies throughout other worlds! Before those people found him, Minato would find them all and scratch all runes from his Overlord Pillar.

He wouldn't just wait for them! He would conquer all, including the medium world and Overlord Enemies!

"Make your own preparations and be ready," Minato ended the speech, then turned his eyes toward Yuna.

She smiled at him, then said, "It's a risky move, Minmin."

"That's why I said I will send teams," Minato understood the risks behind this move.

The universe was vast.

No one knew what those races would see and go through. Other people might as well manipulate them and turn them against Minato, to say nothing of the races' families and other friends coaxing others.

Many other factors endangered Minato's forces, but he still went with this move.

"Ingrid. Your race comes from the high world, but many of them should be scattered across the medium world as well. What do you want me to do?" Minato asked.

His elven queen had much more room since she touched Minato's heart.

Ingrid pondered, "Create an elven forces team too. Let the chosen group go to other worlds and seek others in need."

Minato nodded, "I will leave that to you, then. Choose women only, though. I believe women whose bodies dual cultivated with me should never fall to manipulation and other tricks... Well, this is what I've inferred and confirmed already."

He didn't want to boast his abilities, but in the end, it sounded as such.

Minato then requested Bei for assistance, "Let's use your high world's magic circles to slow down the time and prepare teams for the journey. I will speak with Volcano Lizards about items forging with my mana."

"Leave it to me," Bei nodded with a dazzling smile.

Yuna smiled at all, then whispered, "I will spend time with Aya. She can not be alone."

"Thank you," Minato kissed all his beloved, then left his world tree to go to the Volcano Lizards together with Bei.
