Chapter 111: Two-digit is Still Too Many

"So, what is our main direction for operations? And what about the specific personnel arrangements?"

With Meili's help, Aishiliya, who had quickly pulled together a makeshift Community, soon entered the zone.

She began to ask Su Nian about his ideas for running Umbrella.

"The direction of operations will be in biomedicine, including cultivating familiars, purifying bloodlines, and manufacturing drugs suitable for Little Garden."

"As for the issue of manpower, homunculi can solve that."

Although the Magic of the Moon World isn't much in terms of destructive power, it is truly top-tier in terms of functionality.

Before leaving, Su Nian had also scavenged the technologies of the Three Families and the Clock Tower.

Naturally, this included the Einzbern family's homunculus technology and the Greater Grail's knowledge-imprinting technology.

Combining these two technologies could quickly help Su Nian assemble a batch of qualified staff.

Aside from combat power and emotional issues, there were no other problems.

Moreover, to ensure the latency of the Blacklight Virus and to accelerate its spread, Su Nian specifically sought help from his personal "old grandmother."

The Mother of Evil Gods is, after all, a veteran Two-digit; although she doesn't have much power now, her knowledge and insight are still top-tier.

With the help of the Mother of Evil Gods, the functions and Structure Level of the Blacklight Virus and other viruses were modified into technology related to the Life System Tree of bloodlines.

It has the effect of being able to purify life factors and accelerate life toward the higher levels of the System Tree.

Coupled with the fact that the South District is primarily a region for Phantom Beasts, this could absolutely help Su Nian collect various life factors of Phantom Beasts and organisms while selling out.

It would accelerate the evolution speed of Humanity's Final Trial, Angra Mainyu.

And those who have undergone accelerated growth and evolution after receiving the virus will be the hosts for the virus to break out in Little Garden in the future.

"Understood."

Aishiliya said with a somewhat strange feeling; this was her first time leading homunculi.

In other words, this time when she manages the Community, she has absolute leadership, without her own relatives or second-generation heirs holding her back.

No need to worry about the orders of higher gods or lower gods, no need to consider the various conflicts or salary issues among the Community members?

This... this is simply too wonderful.

Never before has there been such a beautiful start.

To be honest, the time she spent as the leader of Perseus could be called the most frustrating experience of her one-thousand-six-hundred-year life.

With clan elders and higher gods pointing fingers from above, and second-generation heirs and relatives holding her back from below, plus the long-standing grievances, various conflicts, and deceit among the Community members.

It was only because Perseus had a solid foundation and unique industries that it hadn't been ruined long ago.

Subsequently, Su Nian released the homunculi he had prepared in advance within this Ouroboros base.

Su Nian did not waste time giving these homunculi names; they were almost all numbered, and he specifically erased their sexual characteristics and emotional Central Hubs.

During their creation, he added the virus's genetic sequence into their embryos, ensuring control over them.

After all, the positioning of this batch of homunculi was as tools; they didn't even count as people, so it was better to just thoroughly turn them into tools.

This minimized the waste of emotions to the greatest extent.

However, for the sake of being easy on the eyes, the physiques of these homunculi were quite good, though one could clearly see non-human features on their faces.

"Hmm? Are you really planning on doing some real work?"

Looking at these homunculi, Aishiliya gave Su Nian a rare look of high regard; it is rare to forcibly erase the emotions and sexual characteristics of homunculi.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen those homunculus auctions where they were as exquisite as dolls, but Su Nian's approach was still a bit beyond her expectations.

"Otherwise? I came to Little Garden to do big things!"

Su Nian shrugged and said; if he didn't pull off something big, how could he justify coming to Little Garden?

Afterward, Su Nian continued to discuss the details of various cooperative operations with Aishiliya; as for Meili, she had already slipped away.

As for worrying about the cooperation being exposed? Naturally, there was nothing to worry about.

The three of them all wanted to test the depth of Ouroboros to see just how big this snake that had revealed its tail really was.

Is it a small snake, or is it Jormungandr? —

Heaven, by a small stream in the upper layers.

A straw-hat-wearing youth sitting by the stream fishing had a one-eyed crow appear on his shoulder at some unknown time.

The crow tilted its head, looking left and right, as if searching for something.

Suddenly, the crow's eyes narrowed; it turned its head to look and met the gaze of the straw-hat-wearing youth holding the fishing rod.

The crow suddenly began to call out.

"Caw~ caw~ caw~"

"Are those three troublesome guys settled?"

The youth wearing the straw hat laughed and turned around, revealing a warm smile.

"How do you think those three should be handled?"

The crow paused and called out again.

"Caw caw, caw caw caw, caw caw!!"

"You're saying they didn't cause trouble, but instead started a Community called Umbrella? What does that mean?"

Heitian narrowed his eyes, thought carefully for a moment, and then laughed.

"Forget it, just let them be."

"It's just that I don't know how much longer I can keep this snake under control."

"A headache."

One Athena, one Halloween Queen, and one Mother of Evil Gods who doesn't know if she's dead or alive.

Even he felt it was tricky; none of these three are easy to deal with, or rather, if any one of them grabs the tail, then this snake will be exposed to the light.

Although it's not like the first two haven't cooperated with the snake before, cooperation is one thing, but being caught and investigated is another matter entirely.

The Mother of Evil Gods is the same.

Why haven't they all died off yet?

They were already wounded into such a ghastly state by the Decadent Wind, yet they can still play dead.

Can't they just die thoroughly like Uranus, with their coffin lids nailed shut by someone?

Heitian sighed; even as a Two-digit, it is difficult to move an inch on this stage of Little Garden.

"For now, let us keep our focus on His Highness."

A rare look of relief appeared on Heitian's face; that Savior was finally about to be born.

It was worth all the effort he had spent.

"By the way, aren't they planning to run a Community? Then let's have them manage that place as a branch of Ouroboros, and give them the status of Cadre."

"Caw, caw."

After the one-eyed crow let out two cries, it flapped its wings and flew away to deliver Heitian's order.

In any case, he was only an alliance leader pushed into the position; if he could, who would want to wade into these muddy waters?

Heitian shook his head helplessly and continued to fish.

Even though he is a Two-digit, he finds it hard to understand the current situation in Little Garden.

On this tiny chessboard of Little Garden, there are actually so many chess players preparing to make their moves.

A tiny Little Garden, how does it have the virtue and ability to contain so many chess players?

There are still too many Two-digits in Little Garden.

Ouroboros alone has five... ah no, is it six? Or seven, or even more chess pieces placed by Two-digits.

Not to mention the other unknown old things who also want to get a hand in.

——

On the other side, after finishing his exchange with Aishiliya, Su Nian happily played the role of an absentee manager and left, returning to Noname.

"Finally completed the most basic layout."

Su Nian kicked his shoes off onto the floor and collapsed limply onto the bed.

The Halloween Queen was settled, the Mother of Evil Gods was flushed out, everything was agreed upon in advance with Shiroyasha, and the preparations for enhancing the Spirit Status of Humanity's Final Trial were also finished.

Along the way, he even managed to get mixed into Ouroboros.

Goodness, he had only been in Little Garden for two days.

Su Nian inexplicably felt that he was truly capable.

"Master, a guest has arrived."

Just as Su Nian was lying on the bed contemplating life, Leticia's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Not going, let me rest for a while."

Su Nian's lazy voice drifted out of his room and reached the ears of Leticia, who was wearing a blue and white maid outfit.

Leticia pushed the door open without a word and walked in without any hesitation.

In fact, she had been waiting outside Su Nian's door for nearly two hours.

But who told Su Nian not to return all this time?

And having just heard the movement of Su Nian returning, only the possessor of the Boundary Spirit Status could be so casual and elusive, right?

"I am very sorry to disturb Master's rest time, but Lady Scathach has already been waiting in the reception hall for two hours."

Leticia stood by Su Nian's bed and said calmly, looking at Su Nian, who had buried his head in the pillow in an attempt to escape.

"Sigh, how afraid is the Queen that I might run away?"

Su Nian sighed, looked at Leticia beside him, and pulled her into his arms without a word.

Smelling the faint scent of pure lilies and roses on Leticia, Su Nian felt much more relaxed.

Leticia seemed to sense Su Nian's fatigue and did not struggle, letting him hold her just like that.

It seems that Su Nian has accumulated quite a bit of pressure in places she cannot see.

"Are you done? Master, if you continue like this, I will have to call Miss Jialing."

A few minutes later, seemingly sensing that Su Nian's hands were becoming restless, Leticia's expression darkened slightly.

"Mmm, much better. As expected, only by hugging a beautiful girl can I recover my energy at maximum speed."

Su Nian stretched and said.

Truth be told, Leticia's touch is truly amazing, and the scent on her gives one a sense of tranquility.

"Alright, let's go."

After Su Nian tidied up his attire, he prepared to go and receive the reward the Halloween Queen had promised him.

That is, the Creation Principle he earned by using a promise and working for the Queen.

And of course, Scathach, who was about to become his mentor.

As for Avalon, after taking a look at Avalon and having contact with Meili.

He developed deep doubts about the future of Avalon; is this Avalon really reliable?

Organizing my thoughts, that's six thousand words in two updates today.
