Even if you, Ainz, and Rimuru all combined your mana pools, you STILL wouldn't have enough raw magical power to match him. No matter what you do, your magical power will never compare to him. Which is why you have to change the game, bait him in while he thinks he has the advantage.
“Time to start.” you say, placing your palm on the roof of your home. Activating the second piece of your plan, drawing up from the depths of your freezer beneath the planet the sphere you'd created. A sphere of absolute cold, drawing it from beneath your home and out into the plain just to the north of the village, right behind the line of Crystal Dragon heads you'd created. Immediately, once it rises out, ice begins to grow out across your crystal plane. Freezing everything around it, even the very around it how cold that thing is. The chilling sphere even freezes the mana itself in the air, rendering it unusable to any mage near it. Then you activate the tower's other defense measure, your defense grid.
Rays of energy shoot out from the ceiling of your tower, arcing lines reaching out from your home and strike the outer edges of your Paledrake's Lair. Forming a sphere of protection around your home, further dampening any mage's ability to draw upon mana. You continue summoning more of your magical creations, like the Thorn of Amethyst, Damping Sphere and Sphere of Resistance, objects that siphon away mana whenever anyone tries casting spells near them, as well as the Nether Void stone and even a pair of Lodestone Golems. Made of a special ore, one with natural mana-absorbing capabilities, these sentries draw away even more mana. Objects no sane mage would ever employ, as they weaken one's own casting ability as well as everyone else within range. But that's all part of the plan.
“Now to get him over here.” you mutter, sighing out in weariness. However, before you can start, see a large, flaming skull fly over the crest of the crater, flying relatively quickly directly towards your tower. You stop, curious what he's cooking up. But as it gets closer, you sense barely any power whatsoever from the skull. It flies directly to you, stopping just short of the range you would attack it at. The skull's mouth then opens, and the demigod's voice speaks from it.
