Rulership Experiment

Rulership Experiment is a form of experimentation proposed by Demiurge to Ainz Ooal Gown.

Objective
To convince his master, Demiurge reasons with him that they will ultimately need to gather various forces or exert control over various species under Nazarick. He surmise that when that time comes, there will be a great difference in the results depending on whether or not they have performed experiments in rulership.

Procedures
Demiurge advised Ainz to take control of the Lizardman Village at the Great Lake and conduct experiments in ruling without the use of terror. Using Demiurge's suggestion as basis, Ainz further elaborates with Cocytus that he alone will be subjugating the lizardmen under his rule and to showoff the power of Nazarick. Cocytus will be responsible for not only making the lizardmen instill deep loyalty to Nazarick but cultivate the growth of talented members of their species as well. Under Ainz's order, he was forbidden from ruling them with fear. Nazarick will supplied Cocytus with all sorts of resources at their disposal including rations and manpower to help with their rulership experiment.

Results
Upon conquest and emerging victorious over the Lizardmen War, it was now Cocytus's duty to lead and administer them. Over the course of time, Cocytus have ended up ruling over the Lizardmen Alliance peacefully. Nazarick went out of their way to lend resources like the Cauldron of the Daghdha and modified the Fish Farm to better improve the livelihood of the lizardmen. Nazarick was able to even have the lizardmen jointly cooperate with them in defeating and subjugating the toadmen under their rulership too.

At the same time, the lizardmen develop a newfound loyalty to Nazarick and its ruler, Ainz Ooal Gown. Ainz's resurrection of the fallen lizardmen slain in combat by Cocytus cemented a new religious image they have towards him. It was to the point that they forsaken their ancestral spirits for the sake of their new deity, Ainz.

All the while, the lizardmen have manage to erect a statue of Ainz in memorial of him honorably and respectfully. Particularly, the lizardmen set up these statues in an unknown altar where they can pay different tributes to. Proof of lizardmen's loyalty was evident when one of them risk their life to go to dangerous places in order to look for valuable offerings that cannot be easily obtain anywhere all to present to the statue of Ainz.
