The fanfic contained the following tropes.

- Curb-Stomp Battle: Anyone from Yggdrasil such as Ainz Ooal Gown and Seraphim are the pinnacle of overkill.

- Let's You and Him Fight: The Slane Theocracy and Jircniv thinks that if Shiva and Ainz Ooal Gown fight. One of them will be defeated and the other will be too weak allowing for a swift victory.
- Lightis Good: From the Dragon Kingdom's perspective.
- Light Is Not Good: Shiva and anyone from Seraphim maybe angels but that doesn't mean they won't apply brute force if the situation depends on it.

- Taken for Granite: The Slane Theocracy that accompanied her were turned to salt statues having not heeded her word to shield their eyes when she used one of her more powerful techniques.
- The Rival: Seraphim was once at war with Ainz Ooal Gown. However, this is one sided as Seraphim suffered multiple Curb-Stomp Battle by their enemy.
- Third-Person Person: OG BE CALLED OG!
- This Cannot Be!: Everyone in Zion were flabbergasted that they were no longer in Yggdrasil.
- Wham Episode: Slane Theocracy, Re-Estize, Empire and Ainz Ooal Gown now knows of Shiva tipping the power scale.
