World Enemy

World Enemy is a special title associated with the strongest boss monsters in the DMMO-RPG, YGGDRASIL.
== Background ==
A World Enemy was described to be an immensely powerful, boss monster hidden deep in the game. There were thirty-two of these extraordinary monsters in total, and one could infer the dev team’s love of dragons from the number of draconic entities among them.Overlord Volume 02 Chapter 2: Journey
On the other hand, there is a likely chance of obtaining a World Item after defeating one of the World Enemies such as the Lords of the Seven Deadly Sins.Overlord Volume 06 Chapter 6: Introduction of Royal Capital's Disturbance
== Known World Enemies ==
* Five Rainbow Buddhas
* Eight Dragons
* Lords of the Seven Deadly Sins
* Devourer of the Nine Worlds
* Ten Archangels of the Sephira
* Celestial Lord of the Sixth Heaven
== Strength ==
Even if thirty levels 100 players work together, fully prepared and forewarned of the battle ahead, enter combat with any one of these World Enemies, the outcome of the match would still be in doubt. If one of these monsters had appeared before them, it would be a threat to the Great Tomb of Nazarick. World Enemies' attacks could bypass the racial resistances of heteromorphic monsters or players.Overlord Blu-ray 01 Special Emissary of the King
By YGGDRASIL standard, despite a legion, composed of six parties of six players each (36 players in total), they would still not have much of a chance against these unimaginably powerful creatures.Overlord Blu-ray 04 Special: Prologue (1st Half)
While World Enemies are level-breaking monsters, even the weakest ones are over level 100. They were the first type of monsters confirmed to have a cap that is beyond level 100.
According to the author Maruyama, World Enemies are immune to the abilities of World Items like Longinus.ARCADIA 2.36: ARCADIA 3239 10-06-2011

* In Mass for the Dead, it is revealed that the Devourer of the Nine Worlds was influencing the New World through its emissary, Enhela Read Gahi who used its power to usurp control over Nazarick. Momonga while armed with a World Item, was confident that he could at least hold his own against the power that comes from a World Enemy...but with a situation as ridiculous as what was occurring, believed that there was no guarantee. At the same time it brought the uncomfortable possibility that other World Enemies could be manifesting in the New World.Mass for the Dead Chapter 19: The Battle to Conquer Nazarick
