Also you shouldn't expect worthy opponents of various monsters and beasts in the new world, as it has been stated that dragons are the strongest race in the new world(as well as in yggdrasil) and the strongest dragons are dragon lords (most of which have been killed by 8GKs) and the strongest living dragon lord is most likely PDL himself, so there really isn't any other monsters that could give Ainz or guardians a decent fight as side from PDL, so you shouldn't get your hopes too high, however the only worthy opponents and threats would really be just other players and guilds as well as their npcs, the only other people I could think of that maybe do potentially pose a threat would be(which is entirely my own baseless speculation) is if gods in the new world actually exist, because think about it didn't Ainz say that there were gods in yggdrasil that were powerful bosses? what if gods from various religions actually do exist as powerful beings (maybe all of them lvl 100 or higher) and I'm not talking about players such as Six Great Gods but other gods from religions native to the new world.
