Okay, so after looking at some Overlord profiles, I have noticed that the "FTL" statement was placed into them. This statement is generally considered as hyperbole by english fans of the series and I believe it should be removed from the profiles, especially considering the showings of the "FTL" characters. Here is the evidence:
1. Generally, the feat is attributed to two lower level humans in the Overlord world, who are actually quite strong among humans but weak compared to the Nazarick cast. One is Gazef Stroganoff, whose skill [Sixfold Slash of Light] is said to hit six enemies instantly. However, later in that scene, he fails to be able to deflect thirty attacks "But since there were more than thirty attacks, the best he could do was to use all his strength to protect his head by using his sword and arms as cover" (Overlord Vol 1, page 381). He also described his battle against ~50-ish angels as having "too many attacks," with most of those angels not attacking at once (instead opting for waves) "Although Gazef wanted to retaliate, there were just too many attacks" (Overlord Vol 1, page 382).
2. The other human this feat is attributed to is Brain, who is Gazef's rival and created a skill called [God Slash]. However, although he described this skill as "removing the opponent's head before the light entered their eyes" and "a slash near the speed of light," he is shown to live in a medieval world without technological competence. It is very unlikely he knows what the speed of light actually is. Additionally, in volume 06, he faces an enemy called "Zero" who is implied multiple times (by his adamantium ranking, his short scuffle with Brain himself and his own statements) to be an equal to Gazef and Brain with his H2H combat. His movement speed is bolstered by borrowing the power of multiple animals at the same time, which implies that his boosted attack speed isn't actually all that great.
3. Multiple times in the Overlord novel, it is stated that humans struggle against demihumans and would have died out as a race if it wasn't for the Six Gods (aka level 100 Yggdrasil players from the past) that saved them. They have inferior physical abilities compared to them at all tiers and this is typically seen as the handicap of humanity, which is made up with by skill and intelligence. It's highly unlikely that a level 30-ish human character (of which there are at least 5ish equals in a single human country) can reach light speed.
OK, with that addressed, let's move on to the upgrade. A rather "weak" (by Nazarick standards) lich has a MCB feat . We should upgrade the characters that should be at his level or far above it to be on that tier. You can generally tell this according to level and stats:
The lich is level 22, with boosts that should make him level 30-ish. Narberal Gamma is level 61 and has much higher stats (the lich's 25 mag atk and 30 special vs Narberal's 60 mag atk and 40 special).
The next upgrade is more doubworthy, but still should be accurated. It is said in the LN that Gazef Stronoff can duel against a level 35 monster (Death Knight, Ainz' lower level summons) equally. Additionally, although it is only level 35, it should have been boosted because Ainz is a lich who specializes in the creation of undead very specifically. Brain is Gazef's near equal and even Clementine is wary of him, Clementine being a person who is not frightened by a Skeletal Dragon that adamantium adventurers (who are near Gazef's strength, I am namely referring to Gagaran) are wary of fighting. He should be at least at the level of dealing with it.
So, proposed changes:
Remove FTL statements from Ainz', Shalltear's and Brain's profiles.
Upgrade Narberal Gamma to at least MCB AP and Durability and Brain to MCB AP and Durability.
