In Episode 7 of Overlord Season 3, a series of encounters take place in the Tomb of Nazarick as various worker teams infiltrate the ancient tomb, unaware that they are part of a test orchestrated by Lord Ainz Ooal Gown. Ainz, who has returned to Nazarick and is monitoring the situation, observes the unfolding events with Albedo from the safety of his throne room.

As the worker teams breach the tomb, one team led by an experienced elder decides on a strategic retreat. They agree to forfeit their share of the exploration and, in return, receive a portion of the other teams' findings to secure profit without risking their lives.

However, the safety of the other teams is far from guaranteed. Outside the tomb, five of the Six Stars of the Pleiades, powerful maids of Nazarick, are assembled. They stand ready as observers while the Elder Guardians of Nazarick, an undead force, emerge to combat the intruders. This scene highlights the strength and presence of the maids, even as they remain passive during the battle.

Inside the tomb, other worker teams face dire situations. One group is teleported into a dungeon, where they encounter a Cockroach King who eagerly feeds them to his swarm. Another worker falls captive to Neuronist, Nazarick's "special intelligence collector," who deludes himself into believing he is a suitable partner for Lord Ainz.

Elsewhere in the tomb, more worker teams find themselves in perilous circumstances. A group is teleported into a sub-dungeon, where they meet a Cockroach King who hungrily sacrifices them to his swarm. Another worker is captured by Neuronist, Nazarick's "special collector," who fancies himself a worthy companion for Lord Ainz.

At the heart of the episode is a samurai-like warrior infamous for his cruelty toward his three enslaved elves. His encounter with Hamasuke ends in his defeat. Hamasuke, having honed his skills under Zaryusu's guidance, proves too strong for the arrogant warrior. The warrior's downfall is met with satisfaction by his former slaves, who rejoice in his demise.

The episode concludes with the team led by Arche, a noble fallen into poverty, being teleported into an arena. There, they are greeted by Aura, who announces that their opponent will be none other than Lord Ainz Ooal Gown himself.

Overall, Episode 7 weaves together various threads of confrontation and retribution within the Tomb of Nazarick, emphasizing the tomb's perilous nature and the fate of those who dare to enter it.
