Chapter 112: A World Where True Mythology Exists

~10 min read 1,804 words

"Oh my, you've finally come."

The lady, dressed in a well-fitted butler's uniform that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure, with her purple-blue hair tied into a braid that gave off a rather wifely air, said this with great surprise.

"I thought Your Highness would continue to stay in your room and not come out."

Scathach said with a hint of teasing.

She crossed her legs; the tight butler's uniform, paired with her tall and proud physique, already highlighted her curves, and this movement displayed her figure to the fullest.

A very charming woman, Su Nian sighed in his heart, then said.

"I would have liked to stay in my room, but the moment I thought of my Master waiting for me outside, I perked right up."

Su Nian looked Scathach over and sat down in the main seat, speaking casually.

"I have no choice; I can't keep my Master waiting any longer."

Su Nian hadn't expected Scathach to arrive so early; he had only just gone out to join Ouroboros on the side and discuss the management direction of Umbrella with Aishiliya.

As a result, when he returned, Scathach was already waiting here.

"Black Rabbit, serve tea; we cannot let my Master wait idly."

Su Nian reminded her, though Black Rabbit clearly hadn't recovered from Su Nian calling Scathach "Master."

Although Scathach was a servant of the Halloween Queen, she was simultaneously the Halloween Queen's co-ruler.

If the Halloween Queen ruled the day, then the night after the sun set belonged to Scathach's domain.

In a sense, Scathach's status was equal to that of the Halloween Queen.

And in the former Arcadia, only Canary had ever been a student of the Halloween Queen.

And now, was the No Name finally going to produce another figure comparable to Canary?

Moreover, the term of address was the intimate "Master," not "Teacher."

Black Rabbit was genuinely happy for Su Nian.

"Mm."

Black Rabbit hopped away to fetch the teapot and brew tea.

"Alright, now that Black Rabbit has left, if you have something to say, just say it."

Su Nian leaned back against the sofa, lazily lifting his eyelids to look at Scathach as he spoke.

He didn't think that Scathach coming so early would bring good news, rather than some prank from the Halloween Queen looking for amusement.

Seeing Su Nian like this, Scathach didn't mind much and chuckled.

"The Queen told me to ask you when you intend to go and succeed to the position of leader of Avalon."

"Is it that urgent?"

Su Nian couldn't help but smack his lips; he hadn't even finished dealing with the matters regarding Baiye and the No Name.

And he estimated that after going to Avalon, given Meili's lazy nature, there must be a huge pile of things left unprocessed.

When he went over, he would certainly be busy.

"Whether it's urgent or not depends on the Queen."

Scathach picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said; she wasn't in a hurry anyway, she was just following orders.

As for the Queen's thoughts? Who could ever guess them?

"That is indeed true."

Su Nian nodded in agreement, then clapped his hands.

"Leticia, call Liya in."

This was the only person Su Nian had brought over from the Moon World, and after bringing her over, he had asked Leticia to help look after her.

Artoria now also had a bit of an understanding of the situation in Little Garden.

"Master? Is something the matter?"

Artoria stood by Su Nian's side, asking Su Nian, as well as the Scathach before her—the true Queen of the Land of Shadows—with some confusion.

This wasn't her first meeting with Scathach; as early as when Scathach first arrived at the No Name, she had questioned her identity as if checking a family register.

It was just that, out of caution, Artoria hadn't given any answer.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have any interest in acting as the leader of Avalon in my stead, becoming my double."

Su Nian looked at Scathach as he spoke, believing that Scathach could see Artoria's origins.

Artoria came from a world where Britain truly existed within Human History.

As everyone knows, Little Garden and Human History have a relationship of mutual observation; Little Garden observes Human History to obtain Spirit Status, Merit, and Gifts.

Human History observes Little Garden to preview human history and guide the direction of its progress.

And the history of Little Garden observed by Human History forms the Mythology, or Divine History, within Human History.

But Mythology is formed by Human History observing Little Garden; for Human History, it is ultimately not something that truly happened.

Or rather, worlds that possess true Mythology are extremely rare among the countless worlds observed by Little Garden.

And every time such a world with true Mythology is observed, it causes an extremely serious impact on Little Garden, shaking the Spirit Status of who knows how many Gods and Buddhas.

The Gods and Buddhas of Little Garden both love and hate such worlds; they love them because such mythological worlds can easily bring brand-new possibilities to their Spirit Status.

And they hate them because the impact caused by observing such worlds is too great and the scope of the fallout too wide; after all, no one wants to suddenly find themselves with a husband, wife, or father added to their Spirit Status, or to become a mere avatar for a god.

After all, true Mythology has an impact on the Spirit Status of Gods and Buddhas comparable to the impact brought by the development of an era.

It can even allow many God Groups that have already dissipated to return, which shows its preciousness.

It is just that in the historical records of Little Garden, worlds with true Mythology are ultimately only a tiny minority, having only been recorded as observed a few times during the chaotic Dawn Period.

And now, there are very few worlds left that haven't been observed, let alone worlds with true Mythology.

At the very least, the Halloween Queen had been searching the observation fields for so long without ever finding a world with true Mythology.

And now, as Scathach looked at Artoria, she was even more certain of one thing: that in Su Nian's hands, there truly was an unobserved world that possessed Mythology.

Perhaps it was only a guess that this possibility existed before, but now that guess is confirmed.

That also explains where the Star Holy Sword in Su Nian's hand came from; is it a Gift naturally formed from a mythological world?

Even Scathach had to marvel at Su Nian's truly good luck.

On his first observation, he found an apocalyptic world, and even the existence of Humanity's Final Trial, completing the salvation of the world and overcoming Humanity's Final Trial to obtain enough Merit to become a Four-Digit Exceptional.

The second time, he observed a mythological world that possessed true Mythology; such a world is something even Two-digit beings would be tempted by, as long as it is observed, it can bring entirely new possibilities to their own Spirit Status.

Especially for the Halloween Queen, because of Dystopia, the foundations of the Nordic God Group, Canaanite Pantheon, and Celtic Divine Group under the Halloween Queen's command were almost all smashed to pieces.

Only a few stragglers were left, which almost completely cut off the Halloween Queen's possibility of advancing further.

Even the "Arthurian Legend" was something the Halloween Queen spent who knows how much cost and invited who knows how many Poets to influence Human History, attempting to reshape the foundation of the Celtic Divine Group.

As for the result... of course, it failed, or rather, it almost succeeded.

Because success came from Dystopia, and failure also came from Dystopia; although Avalon at the time had established enough Merit while resisting Dystopia, it also lost to Dystopia and was directly hammered to death.

Otherwise, Avalon could have completely ascended to become a God Group and become the new foundation for the Celtic Divine Group.

But what if there were such a world with real Mythology? The Halloween Queen would not have needed to spend such great energy for Avalon to accumulate Merit and ascend to become a God Group.

After all, as long as they are Gods and Buddhas, when they are observed by Little Garden, they will be Jieyin-ed into Little Garden to be integrated.

Those with the same name will be treated as an Avatar and integrated by the main body, bringing new possibilities to the main body, and if it is a Spirit Status of a god not recorded in Little Garden or one who has already died, it will return.

That is to say, as long as that world possesses the worldview of the Celtic Divine Group, then as long as it is observed, the foundation of the Celtic Divine Group will be completed.

It is not even impossible for the Halloween Queen to advance further.

And the basis for all of this must be that the world truly has the existence of Mythology, rather than being like the vast majority of worlds observed by Little Garden, which are ordinary worlds without any anomalies or magic.

According to the statistics of the Heavenly Army and Thousand Eyes, the number of worlds accumulated and observed by Little Garden has long exceeded hundreds of quadrillions, and this is without counting the existence of parallel World Lines in each world.

And among so many worlds, those with anomalies are only one in a billion, not to mention high-magic worlds with Mythology.

Those are even fewer, and almost every time such a world is observed, Little Garden gains at least one new God Group.

Or rather, except for Zoroastrianism and Greece, almost all other God Groups came to Little Garden this way.

For example, the famous Chinese Mythology.

However, that was all a matter of the Dawn Period.

As for now, in any case, Scathach has no impression of any mythological world being observed.

And this seems to be an opportunity.

Scathach seemed to understand why the Halloween Queen handed over the 【Creation Principle】 so happily.

After all, no matter what, the Halloween Queen does not lose.

Completing the foundation of the God Group, obtaining the possibility of advancing further, and even potentially obtaining a Simulated Star Creation Map—this is not something the 【Creation Principle】 can compare to.

"Little Garden's Avalon Knights? You mean the Round Table Knights?"

Artoria hesitated for a moment, and after pondering for a while, she nodded.

"Master, I have no problem, but I am only a substitute."

Artoria puffed out her cheeks and said, reminding Su Nian that she did not have Su Nian's miraculous abilities.

At most, she could only act as Su Nian's shadow.
