Episode 6 of Overlord Season 3 unfolds across various realms, showcasing the intricate political and social dynamics of the Baharuth Empire and the Re-Estize Kingdom. The episode begins in the Baharuth Empire, ruled by the young and strategic "Bloody Emperor" El Nix. His advisory team consists of the court wizard Lord Fluder and the four Imperial Knights, each representing one of the four elements. Emperor El Nix orders an investigation into Jaldabaoth, who attacked the Re-Estize Kingdom, and Momon, who is said to have defeated him. Unbeknownst to him, "Jaldabaoth" is Demiurge, and Momon is actually Ainz Ooal Gown.

The plot then delves into Demiurge's grand scheme to elevate Nazarick's status and make Ainz's name known worldwide. As part of this plan, Ainz travels as Momon the Dark Hero alongside Nabe to the imperial capital Arwintar. Their return as adamantite adventurers introduces a new dynamic to the unfolding events.

In the Re-Estize Kingdom, the royal family takes center stage, particularly Prince Barbro, who seeks to maintain dominance over his siblings, Princess Renner and his younger brother. He despises the influence of the commoner Gazef Stronoff, the king's trusted warrior. Meanwhile, Gazef engages in a friendly duel with Brain Unglaus, observed by Climb, which highlights their respective loyalties to the king and Princess Renner.

Later in the episode, a new group is introduced: Fortnight, a team of "workers"—mercenaries who take on jobs that official guild adventurers avoid. Fortnight consists of Hekkeran, Imina, Rober, and Arche, a mage from a disgraced noble family. Arche's magical abilities are crucial to her efforts to support her family, which is deeply in debt due to her father's mismanagement. Though she is determined to abandon the dangerous life of an adventurer for her sisters' sake, her comrades show deep concern for her well-being.

Fortnight, along with other worker teams, is hired by Count Femel to investigate a mysterious tomb. The presence of Momon and Nabe, who join the teams for this mission, adds further uncertainty and anticipation about the nature of the tomb and the challenges that lie ahead.
