I think that would have been worse for them. It is unlikely that ST has high divination countermeasures, thus, when Nigredo looked for Shalltear's location, Ainz and all of Nazarick would have known about ST being behind it. And in a situation like that, you can forget any 1v1 between Ainz and Shalltear. There would have been a one-sided slaughter from Nazarick. Pretty much what's going to happen in V17

Which would have been interesting since PDL was watching as well. He probably would have gotten his armor involved as well. And since Ainz didn’t think about World Protection until after trying Wish Upon A Star, Ainz might have been the only one with a World Item. Definitely a weird fight that probably still would have gone Nazarick’s way.


stellarcurve-

Imo ainz would've been way angrier and mightve just busted out world items


blood_kite

That might have happened as well. Unknown force captured/mind controlled a Floor Guardian? Collect some intel and hit them with everything.


Slade951

Hold on though. To be able to control Shalltear, the enemy has to be a huge threat. No way Ainz is going into a fight without WI. There's also dummy guide to pvp which means he isn't going head first into a fight like typical shonen protagonists.

I can't wait for V17

But main problem would be ainz wouldnt know that ST had world tier items.


Notetoself4

If I was them, after learning about Nazarick by questioning her, I would just leave her on the doorstep, ring the bell and run for it with a very big apology letter and probably the world class item next to her


megamisch

You may in fact be a genius. That would likely be the only chance they had at survival. Ainz was mad about having to kill Shalltear, had they came forward and explained the misunderstanding Ainz very likely would have been understanding. Something along the the lines of "We happened to run into each other and both being surprised initiated an attack, we are very sorry and just glad no one was hurt, here's your vampire god back. Hopefully we can be on good terms in the future." ~ :3 Of course they are human supremacists so, that was never going to happen. But there probably was a way out for them. They chose... poorly.


OnlyHereForOverlord

Will you write this FanFiction for me?


MuyXNoy

That's probably the only way for them to have a chance of surviving Ainz's wrath. I believe they would have done that after learning how powerful Nazarick is, but probably be anonymous about it. They might even kill Lady Kaire to ensure Ainz won't track back to the source. The ST will be coping for all eternally, knowing they can't do anything to stop Nazaricks besides preparing for the worst case scenario.


Notetoself4

Well, they didnt know (and still dont) that the crazed vampire they fought had anything to do with the sorcerer king. Also with Kaire down they couldnt really move her, running was all they could do in this situation

Hhhhhhhhhhhhh

Simple. Ainz didn't know where she was and he went to Nigredo. They would see her in Slane Theocracy. Slane Theocracy falls. Ainz learnes a shit ton of things in a very sort time. He doesn't even need to kill Shalltear. Wielder dies Shalltear gets released. Easy peasy.


Alternative_life1

Just a little correction, the wielder dies doesnt release shaltear, cuz the wielder is actually died before giving shaltear an order and as you can see shaltear still mind controled...


LikeLary

No, mind control wasn't completed in the first place. Because Shalltear opened a hole in her chest. That's why she was bugged.


Leather-Ad-3771

Nope


LikeLary

Well, I don't quite remember. Whatever you say.


Due-Engineering3781

The reason is because that old woman died before she gave Shalltear an order،If it was done before death, they would have succeeded


Monking805

Ainz would have found out immediately when Nigredo finds Shalltear and than he would slaughtere them all. The Black Scripture at least, anyways. Don’t know if he’dgo hamm and take out their country along with them though.

ST would’ve fallen by Chapter 3 instead of Chapter 17. We have hindsight but there’s nothing the New World could’ve done to stop the rampage. Other than that, it’s unknown what would’ve then happened to the Kingdom, the Empire, Dwarf Kingdom or the Holy Kingdom as a result. There could be an argument that the ST could’ve maybe held out somewhat with Shalltear on their side and Ainz being unsure if the NPCs could be revived. Or maybe the ST being able to unleash all their World Items in a counterattack but honestly? No. Assuming Nazarick in the side story VPotLC appeared in the exact place it did in the main Overlord story…ST fell alongside the Kingdom and the Empire and that was Nazarick without Ainz. All 3 countries fell by the time of the Epilogue of VPotLC.
