The twelfth episode of Overlord Season 3 marks a pivotal point in the series, showcasing a battle of immense scale and power. The episode begins with Emperor El Nix entrusting Lord Ainz Ooal Gown with the task of signaling the start of the battle against the kingdom. El Nix hopes to gauge Gown's combat strategies for a future confrontation, but the disparity in power between Gown and his opponents is undeniable.
Lord Gown seizes this opportunity to demonstrate his overwhelming strength. He casts a devastating spell, "Tribute to the Dark Fertility, Ia, Shub-Niggurath," which serves as an offering to a dark deity from the game. The empire, already outnumbered with 60,000 troops against the kingdom's 240,000, watches in horror as Gown's spell annihilates seventy thousand of the kingdom's soldiers in an instant.
The battlefield descends into fear and chaos, forcing even seasoned warriors like Marquis Raeven to flee. The aftermath of the spell is equally horrifying: a massive black sphere hovers over the fallen, absorbing them into a dark substance.
From this macabre scene, Gown summons five colossal beasts referred to as "charming baby goats," setting a new record in his game. These gigantic creatures, resembling goats but of monstrous size and with multiple mouths, begin wreaking havoc on everything in their path, decimating the kingdom's remaining forces.
Amid the chaos, three key figures remain resolute: Climb, Brain, and Gazef. Climb and Brain devise a diversionary tactic to ensure King Ramposa's safe return to E-Rantel. When King Ramposa inquires about Brain's wishes, he requests that Climb be allowed to marry Princess Renner—a wish the king grants by acknowledging the necessity of bestowing a title upon Climb.
Meanwhile, Gazef confronts one of Gown's summoned beasts. Despite his valiant efforts and the power of his blue sword, Gazef fails to inflict any damage and is violently repelled, though not fatally.
As the episode progresses, Climb and Brain join Gazef just as Gown approaches them, riding one of the monstrous goats. Gown engages in a brief conversation with Gazef and quickly makes his proposal: he offers Gazef a position as his subordinate in exchange for sparing the remaining army. Gazef, loyal and dutiful to his king, refuses and challenges Gown to a duel, prioritizing honor over survival.
The episode concludes with Gazef's unwavering decision, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation. His challenge to Gown is noble, but it remains uncertain whether he can stand against the overwhelmingly powerful Lord Ainz Ooal Gown.
