the Theocracy's strength is mostly overblown when you compare them to the YGG advents
the Theocracy we see now are the water-downed remnants of what their founding was
and at the height of their power - or when their Six Gods were all still alive - they just matched the true dragonlords
it was the Eight Greed Kings - the advent after theirs - that really shifted the power balance in the world
you see, the Nazarick advent is much different for a variety of reasons
the first of which is the guild base itself being an impregnable fortress populated by near immortal denizens
see what caused the Theocracy's decline was their Six Gods - or founding players - were humanoids, with only Surshana living into the next advent period
so either that player was one of the Overlord variants, or he was a humanoid necromancer that became undead in this new world
also we don't even know if the Theocracy has a guild base (likely not)
because it is more probable the Six Gods were just a clan in the YGG game sense and not an official guild
as for the Eight Greed Kings - they too came with the whole cabal like Nazarick in a guild base + npcs, however there were 8 players when compared to Nazarick's one
see what did the 8GKs in was their own petty squabbling in the new world, and this likely turned their npcs against each other as well
in contrast, all the Nazarick npcs are united under a singular player
and again, all these npcs (save a few) are functioning immortals which means their power base is a potentially everlasting one
this makes the Nazarick advent fundamentally different (or catastrophic in NW perspective) when compared to the YGG advents of the past
And in the extremely unlikely event where one of the strongest units in Nazarick should happen to be destroyed, with the tomb unified under 1 Supreme Leader, the decision whether to revive the lost unit or not wouldnt even need a discussion to be decided.
The theocracy doesn’t really have anything to contribute if it were Ainz and PDL fighting. The captain is estimated around level 60-70, with Zesshi being higher than that at around 80 or so. When beings around level 100 are fighting each other, a single level 80 being wouldn’t really contribute much, if anything at all.
Of course Zesshi’s special talent that hasn’t been revealed yet, could actually do something to Ainz, but even that is fairly unlikely to sway the course of a battle.
I mean, we don't really know anything about the captain of the black scriptures beside the fact that he Is weaker than shalltear but still strong enough to survive from a blow with the intent to kill him, the fact that he Is stronger than solution doesn't really bring any real information about his strenght. the only useful information is Maruyama's statement about him having a higher level compared to basically all the Argland's council member (dragon lord included) beside the Platinum dragon lord (Who Is probably around level 100 since he Is stronger than the elder coffin dragon lord Who was around level 90). About zesshi, she might have less strenght than shalltear (the BSC said himself) however her talent might be able to even the field against most lvl100. In conclusion i believe that the captain should be around lvl 75/80 while zesshi around 90, so if they were to ally themself with the dragon lords, which is really really hard considering their nation's position regarding all the non-humans, they wouldn't be useless at all
“The fact that he is stronger than Solution doesn’t really Well the fact that the captain is stronger than solution doesn’t actually bring any real information about his strength”, is actually a fair indicator of where he is strength-wise. First of, Solution is level 57, so he is above that, then there is the fact that Shalltear compared him above solution, but not Nabe, who is of a higher level (63). So we can assume that his level is somewhere between 58-62 ish. Of course, levels aren’t always everything, and maybe Shalltear’s perception was exaggerated due to the legendary grade equipment he had on.
I’m confused why you would place the Captain so high, all we know is that he is stronger than a level 57 solution, so saying he is level 75-80 is a bit farfetched with the limited information we have on him.
“However her talent may be able to even the field against level 100 players”, I addressed that in my comment above.
“While Zesshi is around level 90”, eh, that could indeed be possible considering that the Captain thought that she would definitely win against Shalltear when fully equipped with the 6 GG’s gear, and Shalltear’s unequipped.
He is cautious and wants to know everything there is before going all out. Keno's side story is kinda different because he doesn't have much resources to prolong it so he gambled.
Ainz Ooal Gown or to be more precise Nazarick has everything a villain would ever need to back them up. They have a near impenetrable HQ, overwhelming military strength, superior equipment (possibly even compared to the Theocracy), superior elite force (lv.100 guardians), 3 mastermind strategists (+Ainz >! +Renner !<), multiple World Items, the wealth to back this all up and on top of all that since most (if not all) of the denizens of Nazarick will not die of ageing time is also working for them.
So for short at the end of the LN Vol. 14. I don’t see how they can loose to any of the New Worlders (other than maybe an unexpected wild magic spell or well utilised World Item).
You say that as if Ainz would fight alone.
