Chapter 121: Little Algol Doesn't Want That Ugly Woman's Help!

No matter how Su Nian thought about it, he could not quite understand what was going on with Athena's attitude.

In any case, he never in his wildest dreams imagined that the identity Baiye had made up for him would actually have this kind of effect at a time like this.

How many people could have guessed that the relationship between Arcadia and the Greek God Group was actually so intimate?

Or perhaps it was that Su Nian had underestimated the value of his intelligence to the Greek God Group.

"By the way, do you mind if I invest in you?"

Athena looked at Su Nian, pondering how she should give Su Nian sufficient compensation.

"Of course I don't."

Su Nian shrugged casually; since someone was offering money for free, why would he be unhappy about it?

Not to mention that in Little Garden, investments generally referred to bestowing Gifts, providing guidance, and the like.

Athena glanced at the Demon Star Algol hanging on Su Nian's wrist, and she suddenly had an idea.

In any case, Algol's Spirit Status had already deteriorated to a certain degree after being worn down by thousands of years of sealing.

Releasing her now wouldn't necessarily cause any major commotion, so it would be better to break the seal and give her directly to Su Nian, treating it as compensation for him passing on that information to her.

Although Algol was no longer at the Three-digit level, her strength was not weak among the Four-digit level; it was enough for Su Nian to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Athena said with a hint of seriousness.

"The flag of Perseus can break part of Algol's seal; once the seal is broken, Algol should still be able to use her Authority and exert Four-Digit Exceptional power."

"I will leave the steps to break the seal and the flag of Perseus here; whether or not you break the seal is up to you."

As she spoke, Athena placed a scroll and a flag painted with Andromeda on the table.

She left the choice to Su Nian.

If Su Nian felt he could not control Algol and chose not to break the seal, Athena would naturally choose other compensation for him, though it might not be as generous.

After all, even Algol, who had experienced countless seals and deterioration, would have at least the strength of a Star Beast if released now.

If Algol were willing to cooperate, it would not be impossible for her to exert Four-Digit Exceptional strength.

Su Nian was somewhat surprised; he had not expected Athena to give him the method to break Algol's seal so readily.

However, there was no reason to refuse a free gift; if he didn't break it now, it wouldn't be impossible to break it later.

Having the method to break the seal was better than not having it.

"Then I shall thank Heavenly Lord Athena here."

Su Nian smiled in response to Athena, then took the method to break the seal and the flag of Perseus.

Now that the Authority of Perseus could be said to be absolutely under his control, the outcome of the flag being taken away by an outsider would be very dire.

Su Nian could completely act like Ouroboros, preventing others from chanting the name of Perseus, or he could completely destroy the flag of Perseus, causing the meteor in the sky to fall.

It was just that both Su Nian and Athena had overlooked one person's opinion.

That was the will of Demon Star Algol herself.

Just as Su Nian put away the seal-breaking scroll and the flag of Perseus given by Athena, Algol suddenly became unhappy.

"No! Little Algol doesn't need the charity of that ugly woman!!!"

Algol's sharp cry came from Su Nian's wrist; she had heard clearly that Athena was bestowing the seal-breaking method upon Su Nian as charity.

No matter what, Algol did not want to be inferior to Athena; if she accepted Athena's method, it would mean she voluntarily admitted that she was not inferior to Athena in beauty.

Although it was unknown what kind of Causality existed between accepting Athena's seal-breaking and admitting that her beauty was inferior to Athena's.

But Algol simply was not willing.

"Athena, you ugly woman, don't think that just because I'm sealed, Little Algol will admit defeat! Hmph!"

Algol snorted coldly in a very tsundere manner; she could endure being saved by others or being used by others.

But there was one thing she could not endure: that all of this was Athena's charity!

This was just like splashing sulfuric acid on her face!!

Hearing Algol's energetic voice, Athena's brow could not help but twitch, and she pressed her temples with a headache.

So, how did Algol wake up?

To keep Algol from making noise so she could sleep peacefully, she had specially set up the seal.

If it weren't for Algol's foul mouth, how could she have ended up in this state with her appearance?

However, it was as if she were happy to break Algol's seal; Greece was currently in a situation where there was no one available to use.

Even Aishiliya, the only one capable of great tasks, had been sent by her to go undercover in Ouroboros.

Athena glanced at Su Nian, feeling that he was also an restless fellow.

Could it be said that he was worthy of being brought up by Canary?

Being able to wake Algol up could be considered having some means.

However, Athena clearly had no time to waste with Algol at this moment; she had just received a piece of heavy news and was preparing a plan to deal with it.

How could she waste time getting into a shouting match with Algol? She wouldn't gain any benefits even if she won.

She was the winner now, and there was absolutely no need to haggle with a loser.

"I'll leave the items here; what you do specifically is up to you."

"I have other matters, so I will take my leave."

After leaving these two sentences, Athena departed; she did not want to spend time with Algol, as it would only make her blood pressure soar.

Only Su Nian was left, looking at the flag and scroll before him, lost in thought.

Because of Algol's outburst, he ended up feeling conflicted.

He finally understood why the gods couldn't bring themselves to like Algol; this fellow really couldn't be judged by common sense.

She didn't want the chance to break the seal, but instead wanted to continue staying in the seal? Just because it was Athena's charity?

Shouldn't it be to get out no matter what, and then resist later?

Sensing that Athena had left, Algol could not help but let out a very happy laugh.

"This time it's a big victory for Little Algol! That ugly woman must have heard Little Algol's voice, felt ashamed of her inferiority, and then retreated on her own."

Watching Algol in such a good mood, Su Nian did not know whether he should remind Algol or not.

Athena clearly just didn't want to stay with a mental patient, lest it disturb her peace.

Among the Three Problem Children, if Shiroyasha was a brat and the Halloween Queen was willful, then Algol was purely a mentally ill child.

And a mentally ill child with no small amount of strength at that.

Forget it, better not to remind her; Su Nian felt that even if he told Algol, Algol wouldn't care.

Shaking his head helplessly, Su Nian then put away the things Athena had left behind, just as he had said before.

Being able to undo a seal but choosing not to, and being unable to undo a seal, are two different Concepts.

It is just like having a sword but not using it, versus having no sword to use.

"Oh? You actually aren't thinking of undoing Little Algol's seal?"

Algol was actually a bit surprised by this; she was well aware of Su Nian's actions in that world, and if he were truly discovered, it would be normal for him to be beaten to death by the Heavenly Army.

After all, what sane person raises a Humanity's Final Trial? And that world is not right either.

If he were truly observed or discovered, Su Nian would not meet a good end; if his luck were worse, it is possible he could end up even more miserable than her.

Logically speaking, Su Nian should be quite lacking in combat power right now.

"Mm-hmm, of course, how could I let the most beautiful Little Algol in Little Garden come out through Athena's method?"

It is estimated that even if she were released like that, Algol wouldn't necessarily cooperate.

A combat power that does not cooperate is entirely more harm than good for him, especially a Problem Child like Algol.

Su Nian did not believe he could completely control such an old thing who does not know her own depth.

"Since Little Algol is unwilling to come out using this method, then of course I will think of other ways to break Little Algol's seal and see Little Algol's peerless beauty with my own eyes."

Su Nian said this very perfunctorily, though Algol did not care.

She had not had many experiences of communicating with others in a serious manner.

Su Nian's words made Algol's already cheerful mood even more pleasant.

"Good! You have ambition! Little Algol likes honest children like you! If you can really undo Little Algol's seal."

"Then what harm is there in Little Algol protecting you?"

Algol said very happily; no one likes being sealed, and Algol is just a bit mentally unstable, not some fool.

Being sealed, having her Spirit Status worn down and degraded, was a very bad experience for her.

It was just that she did not want to admit that she had lost to that damn ugly woman, Athena!

Hearing Algol's words, Su Nian instantly perked up; he hadn't expected to have such a harvest from a trip to Perseus.

He had originally had the idea of undoing Algol's seal, but the only thing that bothered him was Algol's personality; what if she didn't listen and caused trouble?

But now, he seemed to have no need to worry; although Algol was still sharp-tongued when facing Athena, she was much more normal at other times.

Thinking of this, Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then that's what you said! Little Algol."

"That goes without saying, if you have the ability."

Algol naturally had no intention of lying; escaping from the seal was naturally her goal as well.

She could rely on others, but she specifically did not want to accept the charity of that ugly woman, Athena!

That damn ugly woman, how dare she defile Little Algol's appearance like this!

Well, if Athena hadn't degraded Algol's appearance, perhaps there would be room to talk.

But now, Little Algol and that damn ugly woman are irreconcilable!

"Then in that case, I'll have to work hard."

A Problem Child who once fought all over Little Garden and was invincible, not to mention that Algol is truly beautiful.

Su Nian naturally wanted to cling to a powerful backer.

Well, in a double sense.
