In Episode 2 of Overlord Season 3, the story alternates between the Tomb of Nazarick, where strategic decisions are made, and the village of Carne.
The episode begins in the Tomb of Nazarick, where Momonga, now known as Lord Ainz Ooal Gown, contemplates his next steps as ruler. During a meeting with his subordinates, Demiurge astutely suggests that they are on the path to world domination. This idea, initially foreign to Momonga, surprises him. In a humorous turn, however, he hides his surprise and pretends that this was his plan all along, highlighting his inner conflict and the role he must maintain as Lord Ainz.
This meeting culminates in a significant decision: The Tomb of Nazarick will declare itself an independent nation. Demiurge's mention of their influence on the village of Carne as a test case for governance provides a seamless transition back to the village's story.
In the village of Carne, life continues with Enri Emmot at the helm, alongside Nphirea and Nemu. The episode paints a vivid picture of village life, where humans and goblins work together on reconstruction, suggesting harmonious coexistence. Amidst this, Enri struggles with the burden of responsibility and memories of past hardships, symbolized by her frustration as she damages a knife.
The narrative introduces a lighthearted moment when Nphirea's kobold friend devises a humorous plan to help Nphirea impress Enri. However, the village's peace is soon disrupted by news of a mysterious threat in the forest. Despite the risk, Enri decides to venture into the forest to gather essential herbs for potion-making, a crucial source of income for the village. Her mission takes on a new dimension. The ensuing battle, featuring the kobolds' combat skills and Nphirea's magic potions, leads to their victory and the rescue of the young kobold.
The episode ends with the revelation that the "Giant of the East" and the "Serpent of the West" have formed an alliance, posing a new threat to the region.
