Also, to add into the point of faking his own death:

What if appart from spreading misinformation and luring out his enemies, he could send a message with that? What if he, the powerful king who has the neightbour kingdoms in checkmate, showed the resolve to self sacrifice for the life of mere "lowly humans" while also reappearing latter showing that there is no point in trying to kill / assassinate him "for he is a powerful wizard that can even come back from death"? AND ALSO testing how his forces would react after his possible death, more or less like a controlled simulacrum?

The last novels have already showed too much of clunky and derpy sheer luck and coincidences. It's time to show his inner cunning and intelligence, to which I must add that the theory of Momonga/Ainz's Intelligence taking over Satoru and all what he considers luck being his subconcious pulling the strings yet leaving that as comedic relief is just too good not to be real.
