If you consider the sheer moral depravity of the people currently ruling the New World, the primary "evil" in which Ainz engages is taking his own sweet time to conquer the nations around him. Which is not a bad idea...rushing into wars may reflect a sense of just rage against tyrannical rule by corrupt nobility and their ilk, but it isn't actually the best way to do any practical good for the people.

It's true that the inhabitants of Nazarick mostly have negative karma and see no point in alleviating (or refraining from causing) human suffering. However, Ainz does what he can to encourage them to see treating humans well as a necessity for the future of Nazarick.

This doesn't always work perfectly...Demiurge and Albedo understand that the desired end state is to have nations that submit to Nazarick be prosperous and happy, but they don't see any need to make the transition free of the kind of horrific atrocities that they prefer to inflict.

But, strictly relying on his consciously human mind, Suzuki-kun cannot always come up with more effective ideas for how to proceed than following the plans Demiurge and Albedo propose. And whatever unconscious influence is being exerted on his plans by his Momonga character, it is also an extreme negative karma character with no interest in avoiding human suffering.

As for whether Ainz really has the luxury of not ever facing another player, he doesn't know that for certain and neither do we. While Maruyama has indicated that he does not wish any other members of Ainz Ooal Gown to show up in the New World, no such exclusion has been made against other players, including some that may have arrived with previous Advents and are either long-lived races (like elves) or heteromorphs. We know that one of the 6GG was a heteromorph (apparently a high level undead, possibly even an Overlord like Ainz, going by WC material indicating a physically identical appearance). While Surshana is believed to have been killed by the 8GK...he might merely have been PKed to such a low level that he chose exile in hiding over any further attempts to defend his base.

What if Surshana returns once he realizes that Nazarick poses an existential threat to the Slane Theocracy? While he probably was considerably reduced in level by his treatment by the 8GK, it is possible that he could have regained quite a high-level in the intervening centuries. Further, being able to take control of the resources of the entire Theocracy and impart knowledge of a player to inform their plans against Nazarick.

On the other hand, he might show up just to apologize and deny any involvement with the current policies and recent actions of the Theocracy. Or just stay out of it.
