In the 13th episode of Overlord Season 3, a significant confrontation takes place, marking a pivotal moment in the series. Gazef Stronoff, the revered Supreme Warrior, faces the terrifying Ainz Ooal Gown. Though Gazef knows he cannot win, his sense of duty and honor as the kingdom's Swordmaster compels him to challenge Ainz. This act reflects his unwavering commitment to his role and the kingdom he serves.
In the episode, the potential lessons that Brain, Climb, and other warriors of the kingdom could have learned from Gazef are also addressed. Gazef's adherence to his moral code and his refusal to surrender to Ainz—even if it meant preserving his life to teach others—underscores his integrity.
Ainz overwhelms Gazef with ease, stopping time and casting the spell "[True Death]"—an anticlimactic yet efficient resolution to the duel. Ainz respects Gazef's bravery and chooses not to inflict unnecessary harm on such a steadfast opponent.
The aftermath of Ainz's overwhelming victory leaves Emperor El-Nix in a state of despair. Climb interprets Gazef's sacrifice as a message to him and others to focus on building a future rather than futilely resisting Ainz. Brain, however, remains undeterred and resolves to continue fighting against Ainz after sharing a drink with Climb.
Meanwhile, King Ramposa faces political challenges within his realm, particularly with his sons. He ultimately cedes E-Rantel to Lord Ainz. Princess Renner tasks Climb with delivering roses in remembrance of the fallen soldiers, and her inscrutable nature is revealed in her expression as Climb leaves the city.
Ainz's forces enter E-Rantel unopposed, save for a symbolic act of resistance by a boy mourning his father's death. Albedo's misanthropy surfaces as she prepares to punish the boy, but she is stopped by Momon, revealing a complex dynamic within Ainz's ranks.
The episode features two alter egos of Momonga—Ainz and Momon—appearing simultaneously. This enigmatic event sparks speculation about the use of a clone spell or a disguise by Demiurge. This strategy positions Momon in the eyes of the citizens as a lawkeeper and protector, preferable to the undead troops under Ainz's command.
The episode concludes with the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown taking control of E-Rantel, surrounded by his loyal Floor Guardians and Battle Maids. They celebrate his triumph, though much of the success and strategy is credited to Demiurge. E-Rantel is now the capital of the newly established Sorcerer Kingdom under Ainz Ooal Gown, setting the stage for future developments in the story.
