The thing is, while Neia is seeing events that have been largely scripted by Nazarick, and doesn't realize that they've been scripted, the reason they've been scripted is precisely because the lesson she draws from those events is true.

Nazarick does not have infinite power. Ainz is not dealing with a world where he can simply act like an idiot and count on never losing just because he is OP. Nazarick can lose if he senselessly squanders it's resources and fails to guard against potential threats.

If Nazarick is to remain the strongest, it's strength must be carefully managed, guarded, and increased. Ainz really would be oppressed if he were weak, that's not an idle paranoia. 99% of the New World will assume hostility on sight and many of them will ceaselessly plot against him no matter how much he demonstrates his willingness to coexist in peace, simply because he is undead.

So anyone draining the strength of Nazarick without offering anything in return is helping to bring Ainz down. One straw may not break a camel's back, a few million surely will kill it outright. Any individual straw may not have done it alone, but that doesn't matter. They all did it together.

The weak can't do anything alone. But they can band together and accomplish something significant for good...or for evil. And if you just act in common out of the motives of weakness, without considering the aggregate effect of millions of weaklings like yourself acting the same way, you will default to being among the weak that band together to do evil none of you could have done alone. Not because you intended it.

Just because you were weak.

It is only by recognizing the evil that the weak can do in their vast numbers and self-centered catering to their individual weakness that the weak can ever band together for good rather than evil.

It is only by recognizing weakness itself as a sin.
