I honestly don't see any appeal in argueing about this. Besides Ainz is the strongest and that's final. Not because of stats or equipment or compatibility. It's simply because he's not arrogant and for someone who's shown that much loyalty, he's still too careful. He always thinks when someone weaker than him appears 'maybe it's a trap'. Also he hasn't exhausted that much of his cash items. On top of it he always seeks to find new sources of power like martial arts, trying to reach lvl 101, new world potions, magic, runecraft. I think he said he was now comparable lvl 33 warrior while in magic caster mode. And! I think his speciality death magic reached a new pinnacle when he came to the new world. Because his 'Goal of All Life is Death' was much more potent than he expected although he managed to bluff like he expected it.

About Rubedo... if she is truly that strong Ainz would have considered worst case scenario especially since he still believes himself unworthy of NPC's loyalty.

Also we don't know by what Nigredo meant. Let me remind everyone that NPCs have a very strange views. Maybe Rubedo's just not as fanatical as the others about loyalty to 41 players.

Besides I cannot imagine a situation where Ainz is forced to fight another NPC anytime soon. Kaire world item user is dead because Shalltear's curse. Fact is Black Scripture is already doomed. No one is strong enough of their number, best equipment they have is divine class items and one world class. And strongest among them 'Certain Death' will probably betray them given her personality and Nazarick's strength. It seemed like eventhough she is oldest among them they still treat her like a child and overlook very basic stuff about management. And Ainz will never underestimate or show any mercy to them, given how angry he is about being forced to kill Shalltear.
