So, the new Overlord Side-Story is out, and there's some nice additions to some of the character's abilities. Now, this is technically an alternate reality story, but since Ainz already starts at lvl 100 and doesn't get any more powerful in neither of the timelines, the feats of the alternate Ainz should still scale to the main one.
First, we finally saw Ainz fighting with the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, and it has shown the ability to fly around by itself, casting spells and summoning Elemental Monsters, without Ainz having to do anything. It also seems to be sentient to an extent.
Ainz also got some new spells, like:
Dimensional Lock: stops people from teleporting out of a certain area
Loopsided Duel: makes it so that if an enemy teleports somewhere, Ainz gets teleported with them.
Armaggedon Evil: summons several waves of demons, with the waves gaining 10 levels and losing half the numbers each time.
False Data: Mana''':' like False Data: Life, gives the wrong mana info when an opponent tries to analyze him.
Crack in the Ground: creates a giant crack in the ground that can trap the enemy inside, and apparently has an instant-death effect as well.
These are the new ones I can remember off the top of him head.
He also shows the ability to use The Goal of All Life is Death along with the super tier magic La Shub Niggurath, kill undead with it, and use them as the sacrifices needed to summon the Dark Young.
And, most importantly, he shows resistance to the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord's ultimate attack, that is compared to the World Class Item Longinus , that can erase the target from existence. While Ainz's summons are instantly annihilated, he himself completely no-sells it, since his World Class Item grants him protection to the attack.
There's been quite a few discussions about if World Class Items give you resistance to just other World Items, as if they just negate other WCI, or if they give you some super resistance that also works against non-WCI effects. I think this case proves it's the latter, since the Dragon Lord's attack was Wild Magic, which existed way before Tiered Magic or World Class Items even appeared in the New World. In this case, it should just be a buff that gives you resistance to many, many different effects. An "ultimate protection", as Ainz calls it in the Prologue:
"He saw a buff on his status screen. It was the same as that time when they had once obtained a World-Class Item, but then lost it.
That was — WORLD. It implied an entire world, and the ultimate protection it bestowed." -Overlord Prologue (2nd Half)
If this is accepted, Ainz, and all the Floor Guardians that carry World Class Items, should get resistance to Existence Erasure (from Longinus and the Dragon Lord's attack), Sealing (due to being able to walk through Ouroboros's and Depiction of Nature and Society's sealing effects), and probably whatever other effects other World Class Items were shown to have.
