Chapter 104: What kind of Planeswalker? That's clearly a low-level Creator God

~11 min read 2,140 words

"Hey, are you dead? If you're not dead, make a sound."

Shiroyasha squatted on the ground with an amused expression, poking Su Nian, who seemed to not even be breathing, with her finger.

Black Rabbit and the others had already left by now; after all, they didn't want to soak in a hot spring with a "corpse."

Although, under normal circumstances, Su Nian could probably have just endured a few days of eye-rolls to get past it.

But who told Su Nian to actually try and use her as a human shield?

As the boss, she naturally had to make sure Su Nian learned his lesson well.

Though she felt like this brat still got the better end of the deal.

Seeming to confirm that Black Rabbit and the others had truly left, Su Nian finally rolled over.

He opened his mouth and spat out a puff of black smoke.

"Not dead, but I feel like I'm not far off from actually dying."

"They really didn't show any mercy at all."

Su Nian rolled over, tumbling directly into the hot spring, letting the water of the Jade Spring wash away the skin on his body that had turned black from being struck by lightning and burned by fire.

Su Nian was just complaining; although they were ashamed and angry, they had still held back, and it only looked like a massive display of force.

Still, it did hurt a little.

"Getting the benefit and still acting like a victim, really."

Shiroyasha gave Su Nian a speechless eye-roll; they had let Su Nian take full advantage today.

"By the way, what did you do in that world? Tell me about it in detail?"

Shiroyasha also wrapped her body in a long towel, sat down beside Su Nian, and asked curiously.

She took the opportunity to grab a few bottles of good wine, placed them on a tray, and started drinking with Su Nian.

"Didn't really do much, did I? Just participated in a Holy Grail War as a Heroic Spirit, it was quite interesting."

The Holy Grail was still sitting in the center of Sakura's Matou Residence even now.

As for granting wishes? At the very least, they didn't have any wishes they hoped to use the Holy Grail to fulfill.

Might as well just treat it as an ornament or a souvenir.

Afterwards, Su Nian went on to talk about his experiences over those few days.

Shiroyasha was silent for a long time, looking at Su Nian, then looking at the door outside.

"Your experiences are truly rich."

"Also, be careful; I don't want to see news of you being dismembered one day."

Su Nian thought of Sakura, thought of Sajyou Ayaka, thought of Jialing, Black Rabbit, Busujima Saeko, Marikawa Shizuka, and Leticia.

"Should... it not come to that, right?"

The latter few were fine, but Su Nian started sweating at the thought of the first two.

Su Nian seemed to understand what the surprise gift Sajyou Ayaka had prepared for him was.

No wonder she left Dekola behind.

Algol should stop Sajyou Ayaka from courting death, right?

Probably...

Su Nian felt a bit uncertain.

Afterwards, after continuing to happily enjoy the hot spring with Shiroyasha for a while.

Su Nian returned to NoName; by this time, NoName had changed drastically due to the funds Su Nian provided.

At the very least, it was no longer the wasteland it had been before, and many abandoned buildings had even been rebuilt.

The soil that had lost its vitality had also been reclaimed, and young vegetables had already been planted.

At the very least, the standard of living, under the effects of various Gifts, was no longer inferior to modern society, and even exceeded it in some ways.

The only regret was that in the entire Community, apart from the children, there was no one else who would greet him.

Actually, Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka still did.

As for Jialing, she truly didn't give him a single good look.

"I said Jialing, is it really necessary? It's not like..."

"You still have the nerve to say that! Now, I really can't get married off!"

Jialing got angry the moment she saw Su Nian; although it wasn't that she couldn't accept Su Nian's philandering or anything.

Fine... she just couldn't accept it.

She could ignore Su Nian having affairs outside, but this was practically being shoved in her face, right in front of her—how could she not be angry?

Back in the hot spring, Jialing had been the one using the most force.

And there were so many outsiders there at the time!

She was the proud Great Peng Golden Winged Bird! In other words, she still cared about her face!

"Hmph!"

Jialing didn't give Su Nian a chance to argue at all, turned her head, and left.

South District, the upper layers of the Three-digit, in a European-style courtyard.

Scathach returned to the courtyard covered only by a thin canopy of sky.

Scathach stepped on the snow-white, smooth marble ground, surrounded by flowerbeds blooming with the flowers of the four seasons.

Inside the flowerbeds, pairs of beastly eyes flashed constantly.

Those were the gazes cast by the terrifying magical beasts lurking within the world of the flowerbeds.

"No matter how much I try to get used to it, this kind of gaze always feels terrible."

Scathach sighed, then stepped forward.

And directly in front of her, in the very center of the flower bed, was a pavilion.

Sitting beside the stone table in the pavilion was the Halloween Queen.

The Halloween Queen was currently sipping black tea, looking bored.

The Halloween Queen, sitting in the pavilion, glanced at Scathach and set down the half-finished cup of black tea in her hand.

Scathach, dressed in a butler's uniform, stepped forward gracefully, arrived at the stone table, picked up the teapot, and began pouring black tea for the Halloween Queen.

On the stone table were placed small snacks like matcha mousse, donuts, and cantaloupe cubes.

The Halloween Queen used a silver fork to spear a piece of cantaloupe and asked, looking bored.

"Did you bring the person over?"

Scathach remained silent and did not respond; this was a humiliation, her first defeat since becoming the Halloween Queen's butler, servant, Knight, and head maid.

"I apologize, Emperor, I did not manage to bring Su Nian."

Long before Su Nian left, the Halloween Queen had assigned her a task, which was to take Su Nian as a student.

And she had to accomplish this before Su Nian returned to Little Garden and found Shiroyasha; she absolutely must not let Shiroyasha know.

Intercepting Su Nian before he returned to Little Garden was, to her, originally a very easy task.

As it turned out, however, Su Nian had used some unknown method to evade Scathach's surveillance and had run into Little Garden without her knowing when.

Scathach's mission had naturally failed.

Now she had come to accept her punishment.

"Interesting."

The Halloween Queen smiled, not particularly concerned about Scathach's failure.

This situation had not exceeded her expectations.

"Please, Emperor, bestow your punishment."

Seeing that the Halloween Queen had no intention of punishing her at all, Scathach felt a bit panicked.

After all, if you committed an offense and the Halloween Queen did not punish you immediately, then congratulations, you had become the Halloween Queen's entertainment.

At the very least, Scathach absolutely did not want to become the Halloween Queen's new entertainment; although it wouldn't necessarily result in anything, it would certainly be quite miserable.

"I have no intention of blaming you; it is normal to be unable to block a young Creator God."

The Halloween Queen said quite casually; she herself had taken a long time to confirm Su Nian's identity.

How could Su Nian be a Planeswalker? He was clearly a miniature Creator God, wasn't he?

"A young Creator God? What does that mean?"

Scathach looked at the Halloween Queen, somewhat confused. A young Creator God?

In Little Garden, there were only Gods and Buddhas who held the name of creation, but she had never heard of a Divine Spirit who truly possessed the great power to create a world.

If it were just creating a few space secret realms as large as Earth or the Solar System, that would be easy for her.

Even creating a world that could maintain itself for a period of time would not be difficult for her.

But if such a world were not provided with energy, it would quickly collapse.

And as for creating a true world that could continue to operate forever without being provided with energy...

She could not do it, or rather, even those Two-digit beings might not necessarily be able to do it.

Currently, the thing closest to a complete world in Little Garden was the Simulated Star Creation Map, but the Simulated Star Creation Map was merely a blueprint.

As for truly creating a world, Scathach had not heard of anyone who could do it.

The only records in Little Garden were perhaps Laojun opening the heavens, and information that had circulated about the Heavenly Lord World Dragon once creating a universe.

Scathach did not know much more than that.

"Take a look at this."

Saying this, the Halloween Queen pushed a Magic Card printed with the Planeswalker Flag in front of Scathach.

This was a disposable Storage Card sold by Su Nian, and it was now the best-selling storage Gift in Little Garden.

"What is this? It is not an ordinary storage-type Gift."

Scathach asked, puzzled. Looking at this Magic Card, she could not make heads or tails of it.

"I saw the Boundary of a world on this card."

The Halloween Queen had only realized this after she had played through over a hundred thousand of these disposable storage-type Magic Cards.

She could even be said to have directly bought up the vast majority of these Storage Cards that Su Nian sold.

How extravagant this Magic Card was, to actually use the embryonic form of a world as a storage item.

However, this world embryo was far too weak, so weak that it was not even as sturdy or vast as some space bubbles.

So much so that if one stuffed a little something inside, it would shatter directly.

But as a master of the Boundary of worlds, the Halloween Queen still saw the essence of the Magic Card.

These were fundamentally individual small worlds.

And they were the kind of true worlds that could exist forever as long as they were not subjected to external destructive forces.

Even if one were to discard the Magic Card casually, perhaps after enough time, that world embryo could even evolve into a true world.

Only then did the Halloween Queen realize that creating worlds was Su Nian's true ability.

And the Magic Card was merely a Gift evolved from the extension of his true ability.

It was the most superficial manifestation of his true ability.

Baiye, she has such good luck.

The Halloween Queen was now growing increasingly jealous of Shiroyasha.

No, what right does she have?

It was just that, currently, very few people realized this point; even she had only reached this result after multiple verifications.

As for Su Nian himself, he had no self-awareness of this at all.

She could completely poach talent in advance, provided she was able to move them.

In fact, there was nothing about Su Nian's Spark that needed completion; it was just that she had misjudged it before.

The reason for the illusion of incompleteness was simply that he was too "young" and had not yet developed.

If one were to say that an adult him—ah no, that He—could be a Creator God capable of creating universe-scale worlds at will.

Then the current Su Nian was merely a cell that could not even be considered an embryo.

Although the essence of one's ability is important, one cannot ignore the scale.

Otherwise, others wave their hands to create a universe, while you wave your hands and end up creating a world the size of a proton.

Although it is not impossible for a world the size of a proton to give rise to an existence similar to the Magic Eye civilization.

But at present, all Su Nian can do is create a prototype of a world that has nothing; no matter, no energy, and no rules.

As for more, he will have to wait until he grows slowly.

I have an exam tomorrow, so there will only be two chapters these past two days.

However, the word count has not decreased; they are both three thousand words per chapter, totaling over six thousand.

In order to pull up the average subscription rate, I have combined the chapters; please bear with me.
