A bit doubtful on this particular view since PDL seems too unconcerned of this particular invasion if it really is the work of player(s). He has been been monitoring the area for player avatars for a long time but I don't remember him implying anymore than the numbers of players we have deduced from the Six Gods, Eight Greed Kings and the Thirteen Heroes. If the third party is indeed a player-based group, they would have had to mobilize themselves because all the NW combatants would be steam-rolled to oblivion. That would have made their existence known to the public. PDL doesn't exactly have an intellignece network either since he doesn't realize the full extent of Ainz's group right now.

Something just doesn't sit right with all this. Could it be that the players weren't accidentally transferred to this world but rather summoned by some unknown entity to cull some approaching danger that none of the NW residents can hope to match and this entity somehow ended up being... well, God. This invasion is the first symptom of this current predicament. Then again, why summon the evil ones like 8GK and Ainz Corporation is beyond me. Still, a conjecture is just a conjecture.
