Timing Issues

I never thought about this in depth until recently, because I could do some interesting things with it.

So here's the scenario:
My opponent has a Bottomless Trap Hole set on the field. I begin my Main Phase 1 by playing Last Will. I then tribute summon my monster for Dark Ruler Ha Des.

Now what happens at this point? If I remember correctly, Last Will creates a continuous state, by which I can special summon a monster to the field. Being a continuous effecct, you cannot chain to this effect, as we know with numerous other continuous effects in the game.

Does this mean that immediately following the tribute summon, Last Will allows me to special summon a monster, and if I summon say, Newdoria to the field, the last effect to happen is that a monster with 1200 ATK was special summoned to the field, which would eliminate the possibility for my opponent to activate Bottomless Trap Hole?

Or do we finish the process of the tribute summon first, allowing my opponent the opportunity to respond to the summon. In which case, they will BTH my Dark Ruler, and then I will use Last Will to special summon a monster to the field?

The fiendishness in me hopes for option 1. Because there could be some interesting ramifications involved with this. Though the way the game "typically" runs seems to indicate option 2. Or there may be option 3. Where I still resolve Last Will, and then my opponent still has the opportunity to respond to the tribute summon.

Thanks in advance guys!

um, wouldn't look for the first opportunity to resolve BY putting itself into a chain?

all other triggered effect are put into a chain

<nodding> Yes...yes, it's resolution begins a new chain after the tribute summon (yet it's unchainable since it's a resolution and not an activation) that's what I've been trying to get across but can't seem to after multiple times stating it.
