Chapter 131: Whose Avatar Is This Again?

"Let's go, Jialing, let's go get the flag first."

Su Nian looked up, used his right hand to shield his eyes from the sun, and squinted at the flag fluttering in the wind above the ancient castle.

A flag with a red background and gold edges, featuring a pattern of a rising sun over hills and a young girl, was waving in the wind.

As expected, is the flag of Arcadia really just planted so openly above the ancient castle?

Ouroboros is still more arrogant than he had imagined.

"Mm."

Jialing nodded slightly; she had no objections to Su Nian's arrangements, as her purpose in coming was simply to be with him anyway.

It was to prevent Su Nian from being ambushed or assassinated due to a lack of combat experience.

Lifting her feet, she took a small step forward, and by the time Su Nian and Jialing landed.

They had already appeared at the flagpole where the flag was planted, and just as he was about to reach out to take the flag.

Suddenly, a golden spear carrying lightning shot toward Su Nian's hand—the one reaching for the flag—with lightning speed.

"Sorry, although I am very reluctant to stop you from retrieving the flag, now is not the time to take it back."

A decadent-looking middle-aged man with a weary face, wearing a suit and a blue ponytail, retracted his spear and said.

Indra? Su Nian was secretly surprised; sure enough, the situation had escalated to the point where this Lord of the Heavenly Army had been drawn out.

As for not being able to take the flag immediately, Su Nian was not surprised; or rather, it would be strange if the flag could be taken so easily.

"Mister, you say that? Could it be that Ouroboros is unwilling to return it?"

Su Nian asked Indra curiously; his current perspective was not broad enough to know what tricks Ouroboros had played on the flag.

However, Su Nian was not anxious, and the reason he dared to try and take the flag directly was because there would be many old-timers here.

Moreover, they still had some connection to Arcadia; if there were no problems, they generally wouldn't stop him from retrieving the flag.

But if there were problems, they would also do him a favor and give him a warning.

It would be more accurate to say that he came here not just to retrieve the flag, but to use the flag to find some allies.

And now, hasn't the biggest thigh in the entire Gift Game arrived?

Indra, who once soloed Azi Dahaka—who had stacked the Spirit Status of who knows how many God Groups and the Twelve Heavenly Generals—and even after being ambushed by the resurrected Azi Dahaka, still had the strength to lead the entire Heavenly Army in a retreat.

Heaven knows what this old guy's true level is.

At least for the current Su Nian, Indra was definitely someone he could rely on.

Indra glanced at Su Nian, said nothing more, and after lighting a cigarette, said indifferently.

"That's not it. This is indeed your flag, and Ouroboros did leave it here, but at the same time, your flag is also an important link in the seal that keeps the Absolute Evil imprisoned."

"If you take the flag away right now, Azi Dahaka will very likely break through the seal."

"Understand, kid? Don't be so reckless next time!"

Indra couldn't help but lecture Su Nian a bit, but he was just a man with a sharp tongue and a soft heart.

After all, he was Black Rabbit's companion and the successor of Arcadia; a little scolding would help him remember the lesson.

"Forget it, Uesugi, you stay by these two little ones for now and protect them, so they don't get ambushed by some people with ill intentions."

"I'm going to check if the seal has been damaged by Ouroboros."

Saying this, Indra put away the Vajra and left.

Leaving only Uesugi Kenshin behind, arms crossed, closing her eyes to rest.

Her purpose here was not just to look after these two juniors, but also to prevent the flag from being snatched by others, which would cause problems with the seal.

——

On the other side, at another entrance to the Gift Game.

Su Nian, controlling Angra Mainyu remotely, looked at the people beside him.

Meili, Aishiliya, Lamia, and Maxwell; they didn't seem to have officially entered the game yet.

It seems he arrived just in time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ahriman."

Su Nian silently thanked the Mother of Evil Gods in his heart; multitasking was still somewhat difficult for him.

Angra Mainyu was good in every way, but the fact that it lacked self-awareness was troublesome; it had to be controlled by someone, otherwise it would easily lose its form and turn into an unconscious virus.

Or rather, as a Humanity's Final Trial, Angra Mainyu was less like a living being bearing this Spirit Status and more like a phenomenon.

The advantage was that it was extremely difficult to kill; as long as the virus existed, it could be resurrected at any time, and its stealth was extremely high.

The disadvantage was that it required someone to control it at all times.

"It's fine, as long as I can help you."

Ahriman's voice carried a hint of exhaustion; after all, given her current situation, controlling Angra Mainyu was a huge drain on her mental energy.

She only had a bit of consciousness left, which Su Nian had preserved in a Creature Card.

Although it could slowly recover without fear of dissipation, the Creature Card Su Nian made could not carry the complete consciousness of a Two-digit.

"By the way, Ahriman, how long can you go all out, and what level of power can you exert, given the current situation?"

Su Nian needed to estimate his current trump cards, pondering how to stir up trouble for maximum effect and gain the greatest benefits.

"At most three minutes before I have to rest. As for the combat power I can exert now, it's roughly equivalent to 1.5 times Indra's level."

The Mother of Evil Gods estimated and said; unlike the Mother of Good Gods or Gaia, who were good at research, worldviews, and manipulating Authority, she was more adept at combat.

Ever since Little Garden was established, she had been fighting, constantly challenged as an Evil God by various heroes and gods, and had never been defeated.

It could be said that she shouldered all the negative elements of Little Garden during the Dawn Period, fighting against the entire Little Garden single-handedly.

It wasn't until the Mother of Good Gods sacrificed herself and Bahram committed Betrayal, determining the fate that justice must prevail, that she was finally able to rest.

At the same Spirit Status level, Indra couldn't last two rounds against her, even with the Vajra.

"Good heavens, Indra has become a unit of combat power."

Su Nian could be considered to have gained a certain understanding of the combat power of the Mother of Evil Gods and the others, and most importantly, the level of power the Mother of Evil Gods can currently exert.

If it were her prime... tsk tsk, Su Nian completely dared not imagine it.

It is just that the Mother of Evil Gods has absolutely no desire for hegemony, and she has always passively accepted challenges from other gods and Saviors; otherwise, there would be no place for Shiroyasha as the strongest Demon King.

"Let's go, it's time to carry out the mission."

After Maxwell gave Su Nian and the others a cold look, he stepped into the game field without the slightest hesitation.

Lamia followed, and as for Su Nian, Meili, and Aishiliya, they silently concealed their figures.

Maxwell and Lamia seemed to have another mission, while Su Nian and the others were simply going to find Kalki.

Listening to the loud noises that rang out from time to time, the mushroom clouds rising from explosions, and the light pollution brought by various lightning and fire.

Only then did he have a bit of a real sense of stepping onto a battlefield.

"Stay close; under the influence of so many Authorities, the range of my Illusion is limited."

Meili gave a reminder, though neither Su Nian nor Aishiliya cared too much about it.

Su Nian once again dissipated his form, turning into the Concept of a virus, or rather, the phenomenon of viral spread, and hid himself.

As long as he spread himself out enough, no one would be able to discover him.

As for Aishiliya, Hades's helmet had been on her the whole time.

The three of them did not trust each other enough to stay within a safe distance.

"Then let's go. According to the information left by Lamia, the person we need to pick up is about a thousand kilometers to the north."

This was not very far for Su Nian and the others; a few minutes would be enough.

After all, the scope of this game is an Outer Gate, and the area occupied by an Outer Gate is equivalent to the surface area of Earth.

This distance was not very far at all.

And when Su Nian and the others arrived at the place where Kalki was.

Kalki had already been surrounded by several existences with very powerful auras, and he had even suffered not-insignificant injuries.

Kalki wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood in front of Caili Ling and the Pleasure-Seeker.

"Sorry, although I cannot find a reason to fight, I do not want to give up my life so easily."

Just as Kalki had not finished speaking, a hammer head carrying lightning directly smashed toward Kalki.

"Who cares about that much? We only know that now is not the time for the Savior to be born."

A tall, red-haired giant retracted the hammer in his hand, looked at Kalki, who had been smashed into serious injury again by his Mjolnir, and picked his ear while speaking.

The Norse Main God and War God Thor, according to records, had already sacrificed himself in the war against Dystopia.

It is just unknown whose puppet this Thor is.

"Little Garden has not yet reached the end-of-the-world period, Savior? Roll back to the era you belong to!"

"Of course, if you want us to send you back, that's fine too."

Saying this, Thor swung the hammer forcefully, walked forward, and smashed it down hard onto Kalki's head.

"Traverse the sea of stars and bring the hero of the new era before me! Argo!"

A strong man with flaxen hair reaching the ground, who would make one think of a lion, had a wooden ship appear in his hands.

Just looking at it made one think of a hero.

Heracles, the strongest warrior of Greece, came to this Gift Game to escort the newly born Arcadia and to retrieve the flag of Arcadia.

The wooden ship disappeared from Heracles's hands.

The Argo of Aries is both the proof of a hero and the Sun Authority of Aries.

With the help of the Sun Authority of Aries, it was not difficult to bring over Kalki, who was about to be smashed to death by Thor, along with the Pleasure-Seeker and Caili Ling whom he was protecting.

"Thor, what kind of skill is it to lay a hand on a newborn child?"

Heracles shielded Kalki behind him and mocked.
