Chapter 109: Ouroboros Needs Talent Like You

Upon seeing Meili on Nyarlathotep's shoulder, a smile could not help but appear on her face.

By the time Su Nian passed through the Boundary Gate and arrived at the Ouroboros base.

The blonde girl patted Su Nian on the shoulder and said with quite a bit of admiration.

"Ouroboros needs talent like you."

Then she looked at the unconscious Meili with a smile; it seemed that this girl and Meili did not have a very good relationship.

However, Su Nian still recognized the other party's identity: Aishiliya.

Athena's Knight, the leader of Perseus, the one who helped Su Nian bid for Leticia.

It was just unclear why she had come to Ouroboros.

I should ask Leticia later; she shouldn't be unaware of such a big matter, right?

As for why Su Nian came here, that is another matter entirely.

In fact, ever since Su Nian switched his persona and just pretended to have arrived in Little Garden from the outside world.

He had been targeted by someone—well, one couldn't exactly call it a person; he had been targeted by a Demon King.

He had been targeted by the Demon King Alliance, Ouroboros.

After all, a Four-digit Demon King, plus a Four-digit Pure-blooded Dragon, was still a force not to be underestimated.

It still held considerable appeal for Ouroboros.

As for being targeted, Su Nian was not surprised; after all, Ouroboros had at least multiple Two-digit Universal Truth existences behind it.

And since it was a Demon King Alliance, it was quite simple to discover newly emerged Demon Kings.

Since he had been targeted by Ouroboros, Su Nian decided to play along, infiltrate Ouroboros, and use their power to help himself develop.

It was just that joining Ouroboros was not that easy.

Although Ouroboros liked Demon Kings like Su Nian who had just arrived in Little Garden without a background, and would even take the initiative to cultivate them.

Just like Maxwell; once cultivated, they would be quite useful tools.

But after all, he was a Demon King who had just arrived in Little Garden, with no conflicts of interest; what if he chose to backstab them as soon as he joined?

That naturally required a "letter of introduction" with sufficient weight.

So, after pondering for a moment, Su Nian chose Meili as his letter of introduction without the slightest hesitation.

In truth, he wanted to scout the situation at Avalon in advance; after all, he was an externally appointed leader, and it would be troublesome if Avalon didn't listen to him or intentionally caused him trouble.

Along the way, he could also verify if every Merlin in every world was just as scummy.

As for the result of the verification, it was inevitable.

Su Nian even felt that this Meili was even scummier than the Merlin of the Moon world.

He had been somewhat hesitant before, but now Su Nian only felt that his actions hadn't been ruthless enough.

"Oh my, isn't this our Layer Master, Lady Meili? Why are you so pathetic now?"

Aishiliya said with a smile, pinching Meili's delicate little face.

Being able to see Meili in such a miserable state made her feel as refreshed as if she had eaten a peppermint candy.

After all, the reason she failed in her competition for Layer Master last time was not without the influence of this wicked woman sabotaging her.

Otherwise, how could she have lost to that Sub-dragon?

At the time, she had paid a high price to rent a Holy Sword with anti-dragon properties from Avalon; the deal was originally going well, but it was because of this woman's interference.

It was completely ruined, leading to her defeat by that Sub-dragon.

Meili also rubbed her head in pain.

She glared fiercely at Su Nian and Nyarlathotep.

"Are you even human? To actually strike me so hard!"

"Isn't this because you attacked us first?"

Su Nian shrugged casually and said; if she hadn't stirred up trouble and had just followed the normal procedures, allowing him to establish the Umbrella Corporation normally, there wouldn't have been so many issues.

But because of his identity as a Demon King, even though he had established a Community, he was completely unable to purchase territory, establish the Community, and begin operations.

The business direction he had set for the Umbrella Corporation was that of a commercial production-type Community.

It was meant to produce potions that could strengthen the body and purify bloodlines, while also managing hospitals on the side.

It was absolutely not about secretly spreading viruses or conducting human experiments.

The Umbrella Corporation needed a very positive image, but who knew that the very first step would be blocked.

The Demon King identity—whoever uses it knows.

It would be good enough not to be crusaded against, let alone operate normally.

Although he could seize territory and forcibly deploy Host Authority, doing so would damage the Umbrella Corporation's image.

It would be detrimental to the reverse spread into Human History, enhancing the Umbrella Corporation's influence, increasing the probability of Biohazard appearing in Pan-Human History, and acquiring Merit.

For this reason, he had to ensure the Umbrella Corporation's positive image.

At least on the surface, it had to be positive.

As for what happened behind the scenes, Human History couldn't be bothered to care.

Su Nian simply decided to play along and follow Ouroboros's intentions; after all, it's good to lean against a big tree for shade.

"But you seem to have forgotten that Avalon is under the Halloween Queen."

Meili revealed a smile of a conspiracy fulfilled; Ouroboros, hidden beneath the water and unknown to the gods, had finally had its snake tail caught by her.

Having finally found a new Demon King who might attract the Demon King Alliance, Ouroboros, how could she possibly let it go?

As the manager of the world's Boundary and the owner of all Boundary Gates in Little Garden, the research that Avalon's knights had on Boundary Power was not low.

Especially for her, who had inherited Merlin's Spirit Status; she specialized in the Boundary of dreams.

"The Ideal Land lurking within the dream!"

As Meili unfolded her Host Authority, she forcibly dragged Su Nian, Nyarlathotep, and Aishiliya into a dreamscape filled with flowers.

This was one of her privileges as a Layer Master: she could unfold her Host Authority just like a Demon King, forcibly dragging others into her Gift Game.

And she did not need to worry about falling into the role of a Demon King, nor did she need to worry about the consequences of failure.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Su Nian could not help but applaud; he could only say it was brilliant, truly brilliant.

As expected, no one who can use Merlin as a name is simple.

He reckoned that Meili had also long realized that Ouroboros had set its sights on him and was preparing to use him as bait.

"It's just, Miss Meili, I wonder if you have realized one thing, and that is the absolute gap in strength between you and me?"

Su Nian said with a smile, even though he was forcibly dragged into the dreamscape and into someone else's Host Authority, he would not gain any advantage.

He might even reveal quite a bit of his own intelligence, or even have his identity discovered by this trashy fairy.

Although the dreamscape is very powerful and can even bridge the gap in strength, allowing Meili to take the initiative.

But Meili overlooked one thing, and that is that Nyarlathotep is the Nyarlathotep of the Cthulhu Mythos.

She is a life form that does not exist on the Life System Tree; she is a Pure-blooded Dragon Species.

And while the Cthulhu-type gods might not be very skilled at other things, they are unique when it comes to mental pollution.

Nyarlathotep is naturally the same, especially since the authority of chaos she has been granted can exert miraculous effects even more so within a dreamscape.

"Nyarlathotep, I'm counting on you."

Nyarlathotep made a transformation pose with great excitement and shouted loudly!

"Crawling Chaos, come forth in obedience!"

Then Nyarlathotep took out her Physics Holy Sword again and smashed it down hard toward the front.

Clang!!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Magical Girl Meili was unable to rise again.

Nyarlathotep's authority is chaos, so the effects of the dreamscape's authority and many other Gifts on her would become chaotic.

Naturally, it was very difficult for Meili's dreamscape to drag Nyarlathotep in, or rather, it only dragged a part of Nyarlathotep into the dream.

And in Nyarlathotep's view, Meili was still standing in front of her, so naturally, a light strike settled it.

"Nyarlathotep? An Outer God of the Cthulhu Mythos?"

Aishiliya looked at Nyarlathotep with some shock; she had also heard of the Cthulhu Mythos.

That group of dragons that was blocked outside of Little Garden because their thinking was too chaotic and incomprehensible.

Yes, a group of dragons, not a God Group.

Because strictly speaking, the Cthulhu Mythos beings are all life forms outside the Life System Tree, although they also have believers in Human History and belong to the modern Mythology system.

But their worldview has nothing to do with humanity, so they were defined as a group of dragons.

However, they are truly too ugly, and they are walking sources of pollution and mental illness, so they are blocked outside of Little Garden by the Heavenly Army year-round.

There is nowhere that would welcome someone who is full of infectious diseases and is also mentally ill.

It is just that now, unexpectedly, a normal one that is being used by someone has appeared.

Even Aishiliya, who considers herself well-informed, felt like she had learned something new.

Unexpectedly, she even felt that the current Nyarlathotep was a bit cute.

"Mm."

Su Nian nodded.

"But now, shouldn't we discuss how to deal with this guy?"

Su Nian carefully kicked Meili with his foot and watched for the other party's reaction.

He could only say that young people have good bodies; she fell asleep the moment she hit the ground.

"How about we sell her? I see this guy looks so good?"

Aishiliya stroked her chin and, after a little thought, offered her suggestion.

"But we don't have the Sovereignty over this guy."

If a Demon King wants to turn others into Slaves and plunder others' belongings or Gifts, they must unfold a Demon King Game.

And although Su Nian defeated Meili, because he did not unfold a Demon King Game, strictly speaking, this cannot be counted as plundering.

It can only be considered a sparring match; Meili is still a free person.

"How about we unfold a game, obtain this guy's Sovereignty, and then sell her?"

Su Nian smiled wickedly, completely ignoring that Meili on the ground had already woken up at this moment.

"Good idea, worthy of being the talent Ouroboros needs."

After hearing Su Nian's move, Aishiliya could not help but give a thumbs up and say.

"As it happens, I have relevant channels; I guarantee that such a good-looking Slave can definitely be sold for a high price. How about we split it then?"

Three updates, three thousand words each; rounding it up, that counts as ten thousand a day.
