Chapter 170: Little Garden Central, Just Spoil Him

Algol was merely a bit vain; she was not so headstrong as to delusionally attempt to oppose the myriad Gods and Buddhas of the Three Thousand Worlds all by herself.

To pit herself as a single Star Spirit against the Bible Myth Group and Buddhism.

Even if one were seeking death, this was not how one did it. Although she and Baiye were both Star Spirits back then, she was merely an ordinary Venus Star Spirit at that time, let alone compared to Baiye, who was the Star Spirit of the Original Star.

She wasn't even a Sun Star Spirit, so what capital did she have to challenge two super-large God Groups? She even held a stalemate for several star-frosts before finally being sealed.

This battle record is terrifying, even if neither Buddhism nor the Bible Myth Group had any Two-digit beings at the time.

During the Dawn Period, there was no such thing as Three-digit Spirit Status being equivalent; strong was strong, and weak was weak. The gap between Three-digit beings was only more outrageous than the gap between Four-digit ones.

And while Algol was indeed a top-tier powerhouse among the Three-digit beings back then.

The Bible Myth Group and Buddhism of that time certainly did not lack powerhouses of the same level as Algol, and there were even those stronger than her.

The true reason Algol could hold a stalemate for so long, and even at one point come close to defeating Buddhism and the Bible Myth Group, was the 【Reverse Demon of All Gods】, or rather, its completed Spirit Status: 【Demon Ancestor】.

By sowing demons and all manner of harmful creatures across all worlds and eras, Algol had preliminarily completed the 【Demon Ancestor】 Spirit Status.

She also discovered the possibility of the 【Reverse Demon of All Gods】: as long as one could make the gods fall into demonhood, this Spirit Status could be completed, allowing one to ascend in a single step to become a Two-digit being.

Naturally, Algol was tempted; the position of a Two-digit being was well worth the risk for her.

It was just that Algol was not sure how many God Groups were needed to reach that level, so she simply fought both her old employer and the then-flourishing Buddhism together.

And then, Algol was beaten into a state of autistic withdrawal by Shakyamuni, who had not yet become a Two-digit being at the time.

Naturally, her Spirit Status and Star Authority were carved up completely.

The possibility of the 【Demon】 portion was taken away by Shakyamuni, the Venus Authority was divided among those who came to provide support, creating who knows how many Venus Star Spirits, and the 【Demon Ancestor】 Spirit Status of Lilith was left with only some scraps of 【Original Demon】.

Finally, she was exiled to the Greek God Group, and because of her sharp tongue, she was reduced by Athena to a state worse than a Magic Beast.

It can only be said that it was a total defeat; the risks and rewards were equal.

Since she wanted to become a Two-digit being, she had to pay the price. Not everyone was as blessed by heaven as Baiye, a natural Two-digit being—well... that's not entirely accurate either.

She was a natural Three-digit Exceptional, and then spent a hundred years consuming some Merit to become a Two-digit being.

Among the Three Problem Children, only she, Algol, had the lowest origin and could only rely on her own struggle.

"How do I know?"

Hearing Algol's question, Su Nian couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile; Algol could finally be considered to have shed that narcissistic look from before.

"That, of course, is a secret."

Concerning his greatest backer, Little Garden Central, how could Su Nian possibly leak it casually?

Some things, if not weighed, don't feel heavy, but once on the scale, even a thousand catties cannot be shouldered.

For instance, if Little Garden Central developed its own will again, or if the will of Little Garden Central hadn't been cleaned up properly.

"However, I just want to ask: is Algol interested in cooperating with me?"

As Su Nian said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Or does Little Algol want to spend her whole life as a Magic Beast like this?"

Algol's expression finally changed, but what appeared on her face was not panic, but a trace of annoyance at being provoked.

As a Problem Child, she was inherently a lawless existence; even though she had fallen to the status of a Magic Beast, it did not mean she had lost her former pride.

On the contrary, that former pride was now the only thing she had left.

"To be honest, I'm starting to like you a little now."

Algol looked at Su Nian's profile and couldn't help but lick her lips as she spoke.

"Your score in Little Algol's heart has increased greatly; Little Algol is starting to think you're a bit handsome."

"But I have one more question."

Algol asked in a lingering tone.

"Does that secret of yours have any beauty-enhancing functions?"

Upon hearing Algol's words, Su Nian froze for a moment.

After coming to his senses, his face turned dark, and his expression was extremely speechless.

"You..."

Before Su Nian could finish his sentence, Algol jumped up first.

"Don't tell me you managed to get a secret that Little Algol has hidden for so long, only to find out you can't even find a way to enhance beauty."

"Although I am a bit too beautiful, I am not stupid; you can't fool me, little guy."

Su Nian, with a dark face, glared at Algol and said.

"I haven't even said anything yet!"

【I... am not a wish-granting machine.】

A message carrying a hint of resentment from Little Garden Central entered Su Nian's mind.

Su Nian could fully imagine the expression on Little Garden Central's face right now; he covered his face in agony.

As expected, when it comes to being abstract, he still couldn't beat these talented players. Who would have thought he was discussing how to push Algol toward becoming a Two-digit being...

... only for Algol to ask if he could help her with beauty treatments.

At this moment, he felt a silent, scrutinizing gaze fall upon him.

It was as if it were saying: "Just try agreeing to it."

And Algol, seeing the expression on Su Nian's face, couldn't help but reveal a smile, circling around Su Nian.

"Heh... sure enough, the things you have can definitely help me with beauty."

"Heh" your head... Su Nian's eyelid twitched, and then he said.

"I will try my best."

Little Garden Central is the closest to Omnipotence and is the only known existence in Little Garden that might be a One-digit being; surely a mere beauty treatment shouldn't stump It, right?

【····？？？】

Little Garden Central looked at Su Nian with black lines all over its head; are you really treating me as a wish-granting machine?

"Deal!"

Algol did not intend to pressure Su Nian too much; of course, that was because she was currently completely held in check by Su Nian, with her bottom line laid bare.

Otherwise, if it were someone weaker, she would definitely have resorted to a fierce tiger climbing a mountain, or perhaps forced her way through.

Do not think that just because an Original Demon has been sealed, she is no longer an Original Demon; she has plenty of ways to bypass seals and trap others to death.

A Devil is not some great saint; on the contrary, a Devil is the type that would trap people to death without batting an eye.

But who let Su Nian be the one holding the Sovereignty right now? Just with the three Simulated Star Creation Maps and two Sun Authorities Su Nian carries, even she, having just emerged from a seal, might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

The kind where if you try, you die.

Obtaining the means to become beautiful without pressuring or crossing Su Nian's bottom line is the benefit Algol wants.

Of course, she also understands Su Nian's temper.

"Of course, as a price, Cain will cooperate with all your actions, even if you sacrifice her; as long as Kain's Spirit Status is in my hands, I can take back everything from Cain."

Algol intends to separate Kain's Spirit Status and Cain's Spirit Status; after all, one should not put all their eggs in one basket.

And Kain, or rather the Cain of this world, as a counterpart to the Cain of the Little Garden world, if used well.

The moment the Cain of Little Garden dies, Algol can completely utilize Kain to accept everything from that Cain and replace that Cain's return.

Moreover, for Su Nian, a Three-digit chess piece is also quite important, especially a Three-digit like Cain who occupies a high position within the Bible Myth Group.

I have to say, the return on a Three-digit chess piece is indeed tempting.

At the very least, Su Nian is tempted; he still has some desire to increase the strength of his subordinates.

After all, the gap in strength between him and his current opponents is simply too large, the kind where you cannot catch up even if you run.

How does a Four-digit fight a Two-digit? Fight with your head? Even with a Simulated Star Creation Map, a Two-digit could press Su Nian to death before he could even unleash it.

How does a planetary-level fight a multiverse-level?

You can't just Fantasy about jumping from Four-digit to One-digit within a few years, right?

That is not how you indulge in wishful thinking.

Su Nian, of course, still likes to stir up trouble from the shadows; being a strategist yields more benefits.

This way of stirring up trouble still suits him best.

Su Nian narrowed his eyes and calculated for a while, then pitifully pleaded with Little Garden Central in his heart.

Brother Central, I beg you, this Three-digit chess piece is really important to me...

【... Only this once.】

Little Garden Central finally softened; after all, Su Nian is truly running around for It, and it was already enough that It could not provide aid to Su Nian.

If It could not even help with such a small matter, then It, as the boss, would seem too irresponsible.

However, without Su Nian having any Merit, It truly cannot help Su Nian with much.

The few things It can provide to help Su Nian are things like intervening in the evolution of Su Nian's Spirit Status by utilizing Merit.

That is, giving a Gift or helping to engrave Magic Cards as before.

Other than that, It can only provide some intelligence of unknown authenticity; there is too much intelligence recorded in Human History, and it is hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.

And Divine History... that is even falser.

Then Su Nian felt a technique suddenly appear in his memory, a technique that uses the creative power of a Spark to help others with beauty treatments.

"Alright, it's done, want to try it?"

Su Nian turned his head to look at Algol, and Algol was exceptionally cooperative, releasing some of her suppression to allow Su Nian's Spark power to come into contact with her.

"Oh, the skin has darkened a bit, and it has instantly achieved the perfect luster I wanted."

Algol hurriedly picked up a small mirror to look at her face, her eyes gradually brightening.

She can naturally see how high-end Su Nian's power is, but as long as she can get a beauty treatment, she does not care.
