IMHO the intermission only highlights how the key for PDL to be a threat to Ainz, is information... pure and simple. If PDL can collect more knowledge about Nazarick -- for example what the ressurrected Zuranon and Clementine know -- then he can leverage that to formulate a workable plan. If PDL tries anything without a better picture of how powerful Nazarick is... or Nazarick learns more of PDL first... PDL cannot win.

Unless PDL has more trump cards hidden that we don't know about.

On a side note: it seems PDL doesn't HAVE to be an enemy of Ainz. He seems to understand there good Players from Yggdrasil who can help the New World. Of course his first encounter with Shalltear has him thinking that's not the case for this invasion cycle... however if PDL and Aniz could just talk out their differences, they could probably come to a workable truce. Ainz isn't a psychopathic killing machine like most of his followers, and PDL is the true "Wiseman of the New World" that Ainz been looking for to help him find Yggdrasil Players (unlike our favorite giant hamster).
