Chapter 207: Getting a Grip on Ouroboros's Achilles' Heel

After a long while, Leticia pushed Su Nian away, her red eyes, still misty, looking at him earnestly.

"Don't indulge in desire right now, I'm serious."

"Everything, you just decide."

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders helplessly; how would he understand these things?

Just from what Leticia had said, his head was already splitting just from listening.

You could let him create a few worlds, or research and craft some Gifts, that would be fine.

But to have him handle this messy administrative work? Sorry, Su Nian really couldn't do these things.

"Although I am very grateful for Master's regard for me, as for the handling of these affairs, I can only say I am capable of managing them."

Leticia rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

If there were truly no other way, she would not have come to seek Su Nian's help.

The truth was, she had always been of the martial faction; political struggles, banquet arrangements, and the like were things she could only say she had experienced over her long life.

But as for how well she could do them, she dared not say.

Back then, during the rebellion within the Vampire clan of the Little Garden Knights, she hadn't even had the ability to discover it and stop it.

And later, during the time of Arcadia, she had always been responsible for combat, while the management of Arcadia was handled by Canary.

"This time, it really exceeds my capability limit."

Leticia lowered her head, feeling somewhat self-reproachful, and said in a low voice, seemingly dissatisfied with her own lack of ability.

But if she couldn't do it, she couldn't do it; Leticia was not the type of stubborn person who would force herself to continue when she couldn't, as that would only lead to making a fool of herself.

"Alright, leave the rest to me."

Su Nian sighed, rubbed Leticia's head, and said gently.

"What exactly happened?"

Leticia sighed and said.

"There are too many guests coming to visit; by preliminary estimates, the invitations we have received have already exceeded one hundred thousand."

"And most of them are visiting in the name of a Community, with each Community sending at least one delegation."

"But for some reason, recently almost all the Communities responsible for holding banquets have received commissions to host other banquets."

Thanks to the large-scale sale of one-time Storage Cards created by Su Nian's 【Planeswalker】, the current Arcadia could be said to be so poor that they only had money left.

Normally, banquets of this level would be commissioned to those Communities specifically responsible for banquet planning and hosting; as long as one was willing to spend money, what level of banquet couldn't they host?

It wouldn't even be impossible to have a four-digit Food God cook the meal in person.

However, it seemed as if by coincidence, those famous four-digit Communities in Little Garden that specialized in banquets had all received large orders.

And five-digit Communities like this found it very difficult to hold a banquet of this level well.

As she spoke, Leticia looked at Su Nian with quite a bit of resentment and continued.

"If it were just former allies of Arcadia coming to visit, that would be fine."

"But now, among the invitations, there are hundreds from four-digit Communities, and the vast majority of them express a quite friendly attitude."

"For the sake of Arcadia's reputation, we must provide hospitality that meets the standard."

And to refuse would be to give them absolutely no face; most of those four-digit entities came from God Groups, and even if they didn't, their status was not simple.

Su Nian rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

As expected, he shouldn't have saved so many people back then; it was supposed to be a small celebration banquet to incidentally reconnect with former allies.

But who could have guessed it would evolve into this level?

Because Su Nian deflected Azi Dahaka's Tyrant's Light Wheel, he had almost directly made everyone who participated in the Arcadia Flag Defense Battle owe him their lives.

And those who dared to participate in the Arcadia Flag Defense Battle and compete for the Leo Sun Authority were all Elite personnel from various Communities and God Groups.

There were also quite a few God Kings who had undergone Descent to Human.

Originally, he just wanted to boost his reputation, but who knew the reputation would directly explode, exceeding the limit that the current Arcadia could bear.

Soon, Su Nian reacted, narrowed his eyes, and said playfully.

"Over one hundred thousand invitations at once, hundreds of four-digit entities, banquet Communities that are already fully booked..."

"Tsk, interesting~~"

"They really don't want to see Arcadia rise again, do they?"

Because of Su Nian's battle record, he had stopped two Humanity's Final Trials at once, and the Perpetual Motion Machine Spirit Rank was also in his hands.

In other words, the current Su Nian completely held the power to distribute the Merit Feast.

Plus the unknown number of contestants he had saved.

The current Su Nian's personal reputation had almost already exceeded the sum of the original Arcadia, and it could even be said to have surpassed Canary.

After all, Canary only made Dystopia disappear, but she hadn't been able to let the gods of Little Garden eat meat.

On the contrary, the gods didn't know how much they had invested in Canary.

The current Su Nian was the one who truly let the gods eat meat and was in charge of the distribution of that meat.

And if this level of reputation were to be converted into Arcadia's power, combined with the fact that they couldn't guess whether Su Nian had the desire to inherit the Arcadia Alliance.

And Su Nian knew that it was Ouroboros that destroyed Arcadia back then.

It could be said that the life and death of Ouroboros were now completely in Su Nian's hands.

As long as Su Nian was willing and distributed a bit more Merit, he believed that Ouroboros would have a large number of moles popping up overnight.

What would be lost then wouldn't be those superficial Demon Kings, but the true backbone supporting the operation and existence of Ouroboros.

After all, Ouroboros was only an organization formed for profit, but in the face of Merit... what did that bit of profit count for?

To Ouroboros, the threat of Su Nian now had even exceeded the Heavenly Army.

It wasn't as if there weren't people from Ouroboros inside the Heavenly Army.

"Heh, it seems we have truly grasped the Snake by its seven inches this time."

"Ouroboros..."

Leticia revealed an expression of wariness.

The culprit behind the destruction of Arcadia, and perhaps even the destruction of the Little Garden Knights back then, may not have been without the hand of Ouroboros.

For such an existence, grasping its seven inches was no good thing; it was hard to say if Su Nian could withstand the counterattack of Ouroboros.

Who knows, this victory banquet might just turn into a funeral feast for Su Nian.

"Do not worry, there should be a part of Indra's hand in this."

Su Nian smiled as he pulled Leticia into his arms, pressed down on her head, and said with narrowed eyes.

"After all, our Heavenly Army Commander-in-Chief, the Emperor, also very much wants to clip the wings of Ouroboros."

"Let me think, he should want me to come out temporarily to be this target, at least to have sufficient threat toward Ouroboros on the surface."

"After all, Ouroboros hides so deeply, who could guess who is truly behind Ouroboros?"

"At a time like this, a target is very convenient, for example, me, who has sufficient hatred toward Ouroboros, has sufficient threat, and most importantly, has sufficient understanding of Ouroboros."

"Well said, worthy of being the successor chosen by that brat Canary."

A male voice full of playfulness rang in Su Nian's ear.

In this instant, Su Nian snapped his fingers and looked speechlessly at the sofa on his right.

"I said, there is no need to move this conversation into a different space, right?"

"Tsk, the brats nowadays are really becoming less and less cute."

On the sofa to Su Nian's right, a blue-haired man in a ponytail wearing a deep purple suit, with his tie undone, blue nail polish on his nails, and a rather frivolous demeanor, sat there.

The other party had one leg crossed, leaned against the sofa, spread his hands, and looked at Su Nian with a half-smiling expression.

"And becoming more and more capable."

Indra looked at Su Nian with quite a bit of emotion, especially regarding Su Nian's move just now to shatter the different space he had created.

"With this move of yours, you aren't far from the Authority of space, are you?"

"Geez, the young people nowadays, each and every one of them is like a monster."

"Canary is like this, and you are like this too."

Monster? Who is the real monster here?

Su Nian's mouth twitched; compared to this Indra before him, who could solo the prime Azi Dahaka in the guise of a Descent to Human, he was nothing but an ordinary person.

"Alright, Uncle, just say what you have to say directly; there is no need to be so evasive."

Su Nian's words clearly provoked Indra's displeasure; Indra even made a distinct clicking sound with his tongue.

"You kid have already said everything, what else can I say?"

"Oh, is that really how it is?"

Su Nian looked at Indra with some surprise.

"Uh..."

Indra was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Stop playing around, I am not good at these twists and turns."

As a former apostate Devil, is he not good at it? Or does he not want to?

It seems Indra has indeed completely turned over a new leaf, to the point that he is unwilling to take the initiative to propose even some dark methods.

Facing Su Nian's suspicious gaze, Indra gave a dry laugh.

Afterwards, he hooked his foot, and the Vajra appeared in his hand; the current Indra was merely a projection cast through the Vajra.

"I will just say it straight: act as a target once, and the Heavenly Army will support you in holding two Simulated Star Creation Maps simultaneously, and will stand on your side when you run for Full Authority Layer Master."

A bit tempting... but it is not enough. Su Nian curled his lips into a smile, looked at Indra, and said.

"Then how should my safety be guaranteed?"

Safety... is there any existence in the entire Little Garden more slippery than you?

Indra still does not know how Su Nian managed to return after banishing both Angra Mainyu and himself outside of Little Garden.

And he was even able to bring the Vajra back.

He had been prepared for Su Nian to abandon the Void Star: Tai Sui and the Vajra just to break away from Angra Mainyu, and for the Heavenly Army to recover these two Simulated Star Creation Maps and seal Angra Mainyu.

This kid truly has something wicked about him.

"The Vajra can be lent to you temporarily; before the Heavenly Army retrieves the Vajra, you are permitted to carry the Vajra to participate in one Gift Game."

Indra said with a twitching mouth.

"Just this?"

Still not satisfied? As a Simulated Star Creation Map, the function of the Vajra in a Gift Game is to unconditionally obtain victory in the Gift Game.

That is to say, as long as you hold the Vajra and participate in a Gift Game, no matter what kind of game it is—Demon King Game, labyrinth game, Gift Game... swinging the Vajra will inevitably bring victory.

This is mandatory, it is engraved in the rules of Little Garden Central, and it is the embodiment of the Universal Truth representing victory inscribed within the Simulated Star Creation Map.

It can be said completely that as long as you hold the Vajra, even if you are Seven-digit, as long as you do not encounter a Two-digit or an existence with a Simulated Star Creation Map inscribed with Universal Truth like the Vajra.

Then even if you are facing a Three-digit, you will surely be victorious.

And as for Simulated Star Creation Maps inscribed with Universal Truth, other than the Vajra, only the Avesta is known.

"Don't be too greedy, kid; this is already the result after I tried my best to fight for it."

Indra stood up, viciously knocked Su Nian on the forehead, and said.

Geez, how is this kid the same personality as Canary? So greedy, and so good at climbing up the pole.

Su Nian rubbed his head in pain.

It seems this is indeed the maximum benefit Indra could help him obtain, and it is time to quit while ahead.

Su Nian calculated in his heart and nodded slightly.

"Uncle, I understand."

"But Uncle, if I don't use this opportunity this time, can I use it next time instead?"

Su Nian blinked his large eyes, looking at Indra pitifully.

Pitiful, weak, and helpless; what kind of bad things could he possibly want? He just hoped to obtain the protection of the Vajra.

Indra looked at this display of Su Nian acting pitiful—he didn't know who he had learned it from—and he only felt something harden.

His fist hardened!

He wanted to fiercely use his own fist to kiss Su Nian's face!

But as soon as he clenched his fist, Indra discovered that his right hand had just fractured; this kid really did have something sinister about him.

This physical strength, it's not weaker than a Star Spirit, right? It feels like it's not much different from that old guy Yang Jian.

Afterwards, Indra sighed helplessly and said.

"This is truly the last time, no more after this."

Seeing Indra in such a difficult position, Su Nian did not continue to push his luck.

"Alright."

Su Nian smacked his lips, appearing somewhat unsatisfied.

"But Uncle Indra, could this opportunity be placed on Black Rabbit?"

Black Rabbit happened to have a Simulated Divinity Vajra Spear, and once it established a connection with the original Simulated Star Creation Map, it was hard to say if it might be possible to borrow it more than once in the future.

The most important point was that this could deceive the eyes of the gods, reduce the pressure on Indra, and better protect Black Rabbit.

Hearing this, Indra took a deep look at Su Nian, was silent for a moment, and said.

"I admit, you kid are much cuter than Canary."
