Ainz is running out of local alternatives to dealing with the Theocracy.

Now that he has the Abelion Hills, the natural thing is to assimilate the Dark Elves and then the Elven Kingdom. On the other side, all he needs to take the Draconic Kingdom as a vassal is deal with their Beastman invasion (the fact that the Queen is a magical loli makes it inevitable that she will fall for Ainz).

This will leave the Theocracy with no reasonable proxies or excuses to avoid facing the Sorcerous Kingdom. I'd say it only takes another half volume to get there, but we might deal with the civil war and resulting vassalization of the Re-estize Kingdom first. Even at that, the Theocracy would feel pressured to meddle there.
