"Zero" Timeline
Ahat had killed Ace, one of Baharl Devault's subordinates, and disguised herself as him to infiltrate his organization in Andika. Her objective was to watch over the situation, and upon Ehit's command, she abducted Diene Devault in order to use her "Renewal Magic" to release the seal on the "Divine Beast Leviathan" which had been sealed below Andika. In her attempts to abduct Diene, she ended up killing Kelvin and fatally wounding Baharl, who was later saved by Meiru Melusine. At the underground seal room inside the mine labyrinth of Andika, Meiru and Naiz confronted her, but she leaves during the chaos that started as Leviathan's seal was broken. Naiz immediately discovered Ahat's true identity after seeing her enveloped in a veil of silver mana that reminded him of his previous fight with Hearst.

Later at the Holy Church's Main Cathedral, Templar Knight Commander Laus Barn came across Ahat, while stilled disguised as Ace, after he finished his audience with the pope with regards to how he and his forces were defeated by the Liberators at Andika. He initially mistook her as Ace, but after the clarification, she left without incident. Laus then began to shiver in fear after he sensed that Ahat didn't have a soul.

Soon after the Church's defeat at Andika, all of the high ranking members of the church were discussing on how to confront the Liberators. It was then that the pope arrived and was accompanied by Ahat, who was now using the alias "Ainz Arsalk", and explained that she was Ehit's oracle, much to everyone's shock. Ahat explained the importance of the members of the Liberators who were in possession of Ancient Magic, and also revealed to location of one of the last two individuals who were in possession of a form of Ancient Magic in the beastman nation, the Haltina Republic that was located in Pale Forest. This prompted to church to declare war with republic in order to capture the ancient magic user and align them over to Ehit's side.

After the Church declared war on the beastmen, drawn into a stalemate (even after conscripting the aid from the Odion Federation). When the Liberators arrived to aid the republic, the church became at a disadvantage. During one of the church's war meetings, Ahat proclaimed that she could turn the tide of the war by destroying the fog barrier around the Pale Forest that acted as a shield for the beastmen, then demonstrated a sample of her power to prove her claim. While the church and the federation (at later the Grandort Empire) mounted a final stand against the beastmen and Liberators, Ahat tunnelled underground in order to reach the core of "Uralt", the Grand Tree pf the forest, and destroy its core in order to cease it from maintaining the fog barrier. Eventually, the church and its allies were defeated and forced to retreat, but Ahat continued her mission until she reached her objective in a relatively short amount of time. When everyone in republic noticed how the Grand Tree began to wither, Queen Lyutillis Haltina of the Republic, along with Liberators Miledi Reisen, Naiz, and Meiru travelled to the core in order to restore. Miledi and the others were prepared to battle the, but she managed too easily repel their attacks, as well as nearly kill Miledi, with her new Skill "Disintegration". Naiz then managed to save Miledi before Ahat could kill her, and briefly confronted her while losing both of his arms. Despite his injuries, Naiz managed to teleport himself and Ahat away from the tree's core before she could do any more damage to it. Ahat then briefly confronted Oscar Orcus, Vandre Schnee, and Naiz (who arms were sublimated by Vandre's slime monster familiar) before easily overpowering them. As Ahat was approaching her defeated opponents, she was confronted by the Liberators Marshal Diamond, Mikaela Eifield, and Badd Virtus. As Ahat was prepared to kill them, she was suddenly stopped when Miledi arrived on the battlefield after she was healed by Meiru and launched a gravity magic-infused kick at her. Despite Miledi's efforts, Ahat appeared unscathed and was prepared to kill her (as per Ehit's Orders) As they were about to fight, Miledi mistakingly referred Ahat as the Apostle Hearst due to not knowing the there was more than one apostle in existence (When Ahat attempted to clear up the misunderstand by saying her name, Miledi thought she merely changed her name). Miledi then battled Ahat alone while receiving magical support from her fellow Liberators. Despite putting up an incredible fight against Ahat, Miledi was at a disadvantage. The battle had reached a point when Miledi used up all the support magic and Artifacts that her comrades gave, and she still couldn't win. As Ahat was about to kill her, Miledi managed to awaken something from within herself and managed to entrap Ahat by using the ultimate gravity magic "Black Hole Nova" to tap into the power of the planet itself. Ahat attempted to break free, but she was ultimately crushed to death by Miledi.

Ahat was present with the army of Apostles who went along with Freid Bagwa and Eri Nakamura to confront Hajime Nagumo and his group outside the exit of the Schnee Labyrinth in the Schnee Snow Fields, and waited there to invite Hajime & Co, to the Demon Empire Garland. While Hajime and Freid were arguing, she told Freid to not waste time, and warned Hajime to not try anything foolish, as they had analyzed his fight with Noint, and knew he is far more powerful than expected. Even after saying all that, Hajime noted that she was on the edge for some reason.
