Chapter 490
【Mu Yang: "It is indeed very beautiful.
It is understandable that the Flower Goddess was treated like a lapdog by the Scarlet King.
After all, the Flower Goddess, Nabu Malikata, was indeed a very beautiful and highly charismatic woman.
However, I do not have much confidence in Nabu Malikata.
I also do not know if she will stir up any major trouble in the future.
So Asmoday, you must keep a close eye on Nabu Malikata."
Asmoday: "Understood. I will keep a close eye on her later. In fact, setting aside the fact that we went our separate ways after what happened back then, at the very beginning, Nabu Malikata and I were actually quite good friends.
Among all the Seelies, she could be considered one of the most outstanding ones."
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: "She was not just outstanding in beauty; even now, she still has subjects who miss her."
Mu Yang: "Uh-huh, regardless, let's keep a tighter watch, shall we?
At the very least, don't let Nabu Malikata create a mess for the time being. Besides, there is truly no one on Celestia; having her go to Celestia can be considered the best placement."
Asmoday: "..."
I am truly sorry that I am the only one on Celestia!!
But Asmoday indicated that she had no other choice; Celestia is not a place one can just go to whenever they please.
Mu Yang, the true master of Celestia today, does not have much interest in Celestia and rarely comes up here; at the very least, Asmoday has not seen Mu Yang many times.
How annoying. Could it be that the young ladies outside are truly so enchanting that Mu Yang has forgotten his home?
But if you really want to say that Mu Yang has truly lost his ambition to worldly pleasures?
That is not the case. During this period, Mu Yang has indeed been doing serious work; in fact, what Mu Yang has done over this past year is far more than what Phanes did over the past five hundred years.
Paimon is also someone from Celestia, but this fellow, under the guise of having her strength damaged, erosion worsening, and possessing little power herself, is now down below, playing and traveling with Lumine.
If it were in the past, such a journey would seem very necessary; once the journey ends, Lumine could also become the new Heavenly Principles.
But it cannot be helped that the Heavenly Principles have already appeared, and it is Mu Yang.
Now, Lumine's journey seems to have no special meaning anymore. As a result, Paimon, this fellow, insists on accompanying Lumine down below; Asmoday does not even know what to say.
As for Ei, well, she is indeed the resurrected Archon of Life now, she has just lost all of her previous memories.
The current Ei is no longer the Electro Archon; logically speaking, she should also move to Celestia.
But she insists on staying in Inazuma, and Asmoday indicated that she had no way to deal with that; it is not like she can just tie Raiden Ei up and bring her to Celestia.
Yes, you are powerful, you are Mu Yang's woman, you are amazing!
Do you believe that I will just wash up and deliver myself to him?
It is truly too stifling. A certain Sustainer of Heavenly Principles often feels that she is a head shorter than others simply because she is not Mu Yang's woman.
Raiden Makoto: "Have the matters in Sumeru been resolved?"
Nahida: "Because of the Scarlet King's actions, Sumeru now has quite a few messes, but they are all within an acceptable range.
No one knows that this was the act of the Scarlet King's return.
There is no need to explain anything, but because of that scorching high temperature, many trees, and even people and animals, have died.
Moreover, there are some problems with the ley lines; I need to organize the ley lines.
All of this requires me to do it myself."
Regarding this point, Nahida also felt a wave of helplessness.
If other gods had problems with their ley lines, there would be people who could help them solve them, right?
But when it comes to her, there is no one.
Clearly, she also has quite a few kin.
Those Aranara do not fail to recognize Nahida; it is just that they could not find Nahida before, and after Nahida appeared, she also discussed things with the Aranara.
It is just that the strength of these Aranara has not grown yet; even if Nahida wanted to let the Aranara smooth out the ley lines now, they could not do it.
This is truly making things difficult for the Aranara.
Could it be that she has to ask Celebi to do these things?
Mu Yang: "Take it slow, it is not very urgent. If you really feel it is troublesome, just let Nilou and the others help."
At this moment, Mu Yang could actually understand some of Nahida's thoughts.
In the original game, Nahida recruited Scaramouche, which caused Nahida's reputation to deteriorate for a time, directly earning Scaramouche the titles of Sumeru's Crown Prince and the mother-son relationship of the Sanctuary of Surasthana.
But thinking about it now, Nahida's situation did not seem easy either.
At first, Nahida keeping Scaramouche was also to repay the Traveler.
She wanted to help Lumine find traces of her brother on the Irminsul.
Clearly, Scaramouche is a very good fighter.
It is just that Nahida underestimated Scaramouche's mental instability; this guy actually thought about going into the Irminsul to delete his own existence.
And after Scaramouche deleted his own existence, apart from the Traveler, others were also affected.
Just like how Greater Lord Rukkhadevata deleted her own existence, Nahida does not remember Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and instead believes that she is Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
After Scaramouche deleted his own existence, apart from Lumine, no one else knew about Scaramouche's past.
Even Nahida does not know; after all, her information regarding Scaramouche was also deleted.
Later, Nahida might have learned some intelligence about Scaramouche, but in the end, Nahida did not experience those things personally, so her dissatisfaction and resentment toward Scaramouche were not deep.
Under such circumstances, with a qualified fighter finally appearing in Sumeru, as the god of Sumeru, there was a high possibility of recruiting him.
After all, the memories were gone!!
Many people even complained about the plot of the Grass Dragon King; Nahida's expression also had some problems, wanting to save everything, and in the end, even wanting to sacrifice herself.
Well, Mu Yang also admits that Nahida's behavior of wanting to sacrifice herself to save some little guys was no different from being brain-dead.
Just like how he has always been depressed, why is it that in the plot of Ultraman, after aliens or monsters capture a few hostages, Ultraman is directly manipulated, and then lets the other party attack him?
This is very unreasonable.
After all, under such circumstances, killing the monster is the most important thing; moreover, if Ultraman falls, who else will fight the monster? At that time, the entire Earth will be finished.
So, is this sacrificing the entire Earth for one or two people?
To be fair, such a plot would generally only appear in children's television; otherwise...
Although no one wants to be the one abandoned, one point must be admitted: from the perspective of the big picture, this is indeed the best method.
And Nahida wanting to sacrifice herself for a few monsters is indeed ridiculous.
Of course, the main reason is actually because Nahida was deceived by her own memories; at that time, Nahida already believed that she was Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and what Greater Lord Rukkhadevata did was what Nahida did.
That thing was created by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, which is to say, it was created by Nahida.
She has confidence in the things she created; isn't this a very normal thing?
It is just that Nahida herself does not know that she is not Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
Many people say this plot is a failure; in fact, Mu Yang felt that apart from Scaramouche's plot and Nahida's constant thoughts of wanting to sacrifice herself, it was quite consistent with the character design.
Nahida is indeed quite smart.
After Greater Lord Rukkhadevata disappeared, Nahida was not just the Lesser Lord Kusanali of the past.
Lesser Lord Kusanali would often be unconfident, and even feel inferior in front of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
But after Greater Lord Rukkhadevata disappeared, Nahida would not be like that; she is both Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Nahida.
It can be said that from that moment on, there was no more Nahida, but Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Nahida merged into one.
After all, everything Greater Lord Rukkhadevata once did became Nahida's, and Nahida also lost many things.
However, there is no problem with this; after all, Nahida herself is the reincarnation of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and in a situation with no other choice, this seems to be the best method.
Now Nahida does not have many people under her command to use; fortunately, there are a few people who can barely be used.
If it comes to the worst, aren't there still the Three Holy Beasts? At worst, just create a few more Three Holy Beasts and let them help suppress the ley lines.
On this point, the Three Holy Beasts created by Mu Yang do indeed have such capabilities.
Lumine: ".Rest assured, Nahida, we will also stay to help."
Nahida: "..." Please stop talking. The previous matter was clearly not a big deal, but because of your carelessness, you directly released the Scarlet King.
Well, Nahida herself also knows that even without Lumine, the Scarlet King would still have appeared.
After all, those guys from the Fatui are persistent, but this matter, no matter how you look at it, is strange.
Mu Yang: "Alright, the time is about right, and I should also go to Snezhnaya."
The Tsaritsa: "You are coming to Snezhnaya?"
Mu Yang: "Yes, after all, the Fatui have caused such a big commotion here in Sumeru; it is impossible not to hold them accountable. You guys should not be idle either; make the situation a bit bigger."】
