Somewhere far from the site of the Holy Grail War, where Servants had died and Evil had been vanquished, Kai blurred into existence, eyeing his Stats.

…
A smile crept up on Kai's face as he saw the values.
His adventure to the Fate timeline had resulted in a bountiful harvest, it seemed.
Even if he were to ignore the Hero Standalone Title, Gae Bolg, Kanshou and Bakuya Overedge, Magecraft, and his Cosmic-level Myth etched into the Root, the sheer number of Active Attribute Points he had gained through Milestones was enough to raise his eyebrows.
Over +110% of Attribute Points from the Set Quota wasn't unprecedented.
That was only when Kai looked at things from his level, though. For those who followed him, and for those who weren't worthy to follow him, this massive crossing of limits was like looking at a mountain, its peak hidden in the clouds.
Moreover, not only the Active Attributes, but also the Passive ones, had undergone immense change.
The most striking one was his Luck that had gained 50 Points in one jump.
As for his Worth, it had gained 100 Points, though the surge seemed unremarkable only because its initial value was already unthinkable.
Kai's Charisma had surpassed his imagination, though, reaching 243 Points because of Gilgamesh's Golden Armor. This didn't make him more handsome. But Charisma had never been a one-trick pony, to begin with.
Then there were his Abilities.
Blood Corruption and Intimidation had increased while he had been fighting Gorgon. However, it was the 100-year period that Black spent 'Outside of the World' that boosted Ad Infinitum and Selfless Breathing the most. Also, the moment he had created his own Magecraft, his Master Magical Aptitude had jumped by 40%.
With further use of Gradation Blood, he was bound to turn Magical Aptitude into a mystery as well, Kai knew.
There were some losses, too.
Before getting Kanshou and Bakuya Overedge, Kai had been fighting using Murasame and Sounga, hiding them under a thick layer of Venom's flesh. Even then, both swords had lost Qualities. Where Murasame lost 15%, Sounga lost even more, falling to 80%.
Just as Kai had considered it over, the System had promoted him to the rank of General of Guard.
The Ad Infinitum was already planning how to sacrifice the hundred Commanders of Guards he was allowed to conscript every 10 years. That amounted to a total of 1000 top-quality sacrifices suited to various rituals and plans. Not a sum that Kai could ignore.
Still, other than all this, there was another loss. Not a permanent one, but temporary… depending upon how the other side played things out.
"… I hope you have studied them enough," Kai said, dismissing the notification. "Can I get my children back?"
Not far from him, Ainz Ooal Gown appeared, staring at him through the black crucifixes embedded in the hollows of his eyes. The Staff of Ainz was hovering over his head, and he was wielding the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch in his right hand. His left hand… was missing.
Suddenly, from the handless sleeve, dark shadows came hissing out, a chill claiming the surroundings.
All the Dementors rushed to Kai and disappeared into his shadow, going back to the Shadow Space from where Ainz had stolen them.
With the flick of Kai's hand, he took out the Sword of Azoth.
Ainz Ooal Gown looked at the sword and remembered the deal they had made. But…
"… I have a request," the Overlord said instead, making Kai raise his brows. "Are you willing to listen?"
