Chapter 209: So, Whose Ouroboros Is This Ouroboros, Anyway?

Mithra, suspected to be the Avatar of that Son of God from the Cross Religion.

Kalki sighed helplessly; what virtue or ability did Su Nian possess to be targeted by two Two-digit entities at once?

This made it so that even if he wanted to help Su Nian out, he had no way to do so.

As a comrade-in-arms who fought against Angra Mainyu alongside Su Nian, Kalki truly could not bear to watch Su Nian be targeted by Ouroboros like this, right up until his death.

It was just a pity now... he had hoped to receive Su Nian's support when he challenged Angra Mainyu in the future.

Under the seal set by Kurma, even if Su Nian's control over space had reached the level of an Authority, he would likely be unable to escape death.

"It seems Uncle is in dire straits this time."

Lamia said with a cheerful smile.

"Perhaps I could snatch Aunt back."

Hearing Lamia's words, Kalki frowned and said nothing more.

Glaive sneered and ceased speaking.

As for Aurora, she seemed to have heard nothing at all; she remained hooded, head bowed, lost in her own world.

The Demon King seemed to have thought of something and revealed a cruel smile.

——

In the underground Library of the Arcadia headquarters annex.

Fire spirits without intelligence floated on the ceiling, emitting a pure white, soft light, looking as if a white carpet had been laid across the ceiling.

Under the light, a blonde woman wearing a snow-white bathrobe, tied only with a ribbon at her waist, sat at a desk, quietly reading while holding a scroll in one hand and supporting the table with the other.

Looking at that familiar, perfect profile that made the fists of countless people in Little Garden clench involuntarily.

Su Nian sighed, walked over, pulled out the seat next to the desk, and sat down.

"Canary, why did you contact me with that tone, as if I'd been targeted by some incredible existence?"

In fact, besides this fake Canary's warning, Su Nian had just received a total of five warning letters from different sources.

All of them told him that he had been exposed and was being targeted by Ouroboros.

Some also said he was targeted by the World King Heavenly Lord and should hurry to apologize to the World King Heavenly Lord.

Others warned him not to revive Arcadia so quickly, as it had already touched the sensitive nerves of certain existences.

Among them, there was even one signed by Kalki, directly telling him that Ouroboros was preparing to launch an attack on him during the victory banquet he intended to hold.

Telling him not to hold the victory banquet.

Of course, the most arrogant one was the Demon King who, relying on his own Gift ability, walked straight into Arcadia and warned him to his face.

Plus this fake Canary's warning...

It gave Su Nian an illusion: whose Ouroboros is this, anyway?

How does it feel like they are all undercover agents? And they are his undercover agents at that!

He should have only arranged one undercover agent within Ouroboros, right? Kalki's older sister, Caili Ling.

When did the others develop into his subordinates?

Su Nian fell into deep thought.

Canary tilted her head, looking at Su Nian with an incredible smile on her face, and said.

"Master, is there a possibility that you really have been targeted by an incredible existence?"

"That World King Heavenly Lord, and Mithra, who is suspected to be that Son of God Avatar."

"And then?"

Su Nian raised an eyebrow and looked at Canary, feeling a bit strange.

He had long since made full preparations; he was only being targeted by two Two-digit entities now, and one of them was only suspected to be one.

It's not a big problem, Shiroyasha can still hold out!

"So Master, are you really not going to apologize? As long as you apologize, given that Lord's temperament, at most you'll suffer a little prank, and then it will be over."

Canary sighed; sometimes she didn't know what to say about Su Nian's ability to cause trouble.

To actually offend the World King, who is said to be the kindest and most Buddhist-like among the Two-digits.

Now it's fine, almost the entire Little Garden is watching Su Nian's joke; although it was discussed within Ouroboros, as long as it's let out, it's almost the same as being made public.

"Hmm... apologize."

After a moment of silence, Su Nian muttered softly.

"How would I know which incident I've been exposed for?"

He had offended that World King many times; if it were just about Leticia, it would be fine.

But what if it's not just that incident that's been exposed?

"Which incident?"

Canary's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"I just feel like Master, you are even better at causing trouble than the original body, and they are all incredible things."

"Besides, things are actually not as bad as you think."

Su Nian shrugged, a smile on his face, his tone quite playful.

"Those who changed their attitude just because of a prank by that Heavenly Lord are not worth our attention."

If something had really gone wrong, Shiroyasha would have warned him; right now, Shiroyasha clearly hasn't said anything.

It just goes to show that it's not a big deal; if he survives this wave, he'll be fine.

"Moreover, because of the fall of Arcadia, there are only a few who hold hostility toward Ouroboros, have a good relationship with us, and are willing to warn us and take our side."

He said this, counting the people who could take action.

"Indra, who represents the Heavenly Army; the Halloween Queen, who has a certain connection with me; Sun Wukong, Jialing's eldest sister; and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom from Greece, who might take our side."

"However, my relationship with the Halloween Queen is relatively average; at most, she might secretly help me."

"Sun Wukong is already viewed with wariness by many Gods and Buddhas, and as for Athena, it's hard to say."

"In the end, I reckon only Indra will consistently stand on my side; after all, the Vajra has been in my hands the whole time."

"So, it is unlikely that anything will happen to me."

"In summary, do what you must, eat and drink as you please, and don't worry too much."

"Everything proceeds as usual."

Saying this, Su Nian adjusted his mood, looked at Canary, and smiled.

"By the way, Canary, have you finished writing the celebration banquet plan I asked you to draft?"

Upon hearing this, Canary looked at Su Nian with extreme resentment, a bitterness like that of a disgruntled wife whose husband had not visited her once in decades abroad.

If you don't talk about this, we can still be good friends.

"What do you think..."

Canary painfully clutched her hair; planning a banquet that might require millions of people alone, and not knowing how many Gods and Buddhas would come just to watch the fun.

That group of Gods and Buddhas is the most damnably difficult to serve.

And yet, she still has to make them satisfied...

This really isn't a job for a human.

"Keep it up!"

Su Nian patted Canary's shoulder with considerable sympathy.

"Right, it needs to be finished by tomorrow; there isn't much time left."

"... Alright."

Canary said through gritted teeth; she had only one feeling, which was wanting to hack most of the Gods and Buddhas in Little Garden to pieces.

As for Su Nian, how could she dare to have bad thoughts about her supreme master?

It wasn't just Canary who was suffering because the deadline was tomorrow morning, yet she hadn't written a single word of the plan.

Su Nian was actually also thinking about one thing.

Regarding the Blood Clan's base in Little Garden... every Outer Gate with any fame in Little Garden now already has an owner.

And to be able to support the development of the Blood Clan in Little Garden, at least a Four-digit Outer Gate is required.

Su Nian was currently thinking about how to conquer a Four-digit Outer Gate to become the base for the Blood Clan.

——

Outer Gate 6666, City of Desire.

Under Mithra's arrangement, the Third Union of Ouroboros was assigned a special mission: delivering a letter.

However, it was just a simple delivery mission, intended to show the importance the Third Union placed on the recipient.

In the end, this task fell to Kalki, Lamia, and Caili Ling.

The three of them looked at the ugly men and beautiful women filling the streets, observed silently for a moment, pinpointed the direction, and headed straight toward the India-style temple in the center.

During this time, under the cover of Lamia's shadows, they skillfully avoided layers of guards and passed through six defensive barriers.

Finally, at the underground entrance of the temple located in the city center, Kalki stopped in his tracks.

The underground entrance was not guarded by personnel; there was only an empty, pitch-black passage, though a faint glimmer of light could be seen from below.

Kalki gazed at the passage below, thought for a moment, and nodded at Lamia.

"You go in to deliver the letter; Ling and I will keep watch for you."

Some things, because of his identity, he could not come as freely as Lamia could; Lamia had been possessed by Kurma once.

She was already regarded as an Executor of the World King, and no one dared to trouble her.

Although Lamia herself had no clue about these matters and even harbored some resentment toward her Creator.

After all, who told Him to leave such an obvious weakness when creating them?

The tragedy of the Xuegui Yizu stemmed from this weakness of fearing sunlight, especially for her mother, who was still suffering from the torment of a Curse.

This led to Lamia being reckless to the extreme now.

She could express her thoughts and attitude without any concerns.

Passing through the long, candlelit passage, Lamia arrived at the hall at the very bottom and saw a sea of molten lava.

Gurgle—

The black-red lava made a gurgling sound.

Walking to the bottom and stopping in front of the lava pool, Lamia's gaze swept over the lava and looked into the distance.

At the end of the hall, there was a stone altar, and upon the altar was a fiery red lotus bud.

At this moment, streaks of red patterns were flickering on the lotus bud, and an elegant fragrance wafted over.

Lamia controlled the shadows to envelop herself, preventing contact with those auras.

Just then, a female voice rang out.

"World King's little bat, what business do you have coming to a small place like the City of Desire?"

The female voice was very crisp, yet carried a hint of coquettishness.

But even though it was a normal conversation, it caused Lamia to see countless Fantasy visions.

In those visions, there were men and women; the men appeared with Su Nian's face, while the women were her own, as well as Leticia's, and her mother's face.

Lamia bit her tongue in embarrassment, forcing herself to wake up from those scenes of Fantasy.

She did have a significant fondness for Su Nian, but that was only because Su Nian had snatched the Concept of the Vampire from Kurma's hands and solved the Vampire's weakness of fearing sunlight.

And there was Kurma's praise; she had seen the possibility of solving the Curse on Lamia through Leticia.

But having a fondness doesn't mean it could reach this level, right?

"Because the First Union is being tracked by Indra, the courier for this mission has become us, the Third Union. I hope you are aware of this, Heavenly Lord Asura."

Asura!

One of the Eight Legions of Buddhism, a half-human, half-god being that grows in the Desire Realm Heaven, representing the evil retribution in the cycle of good and evil; they are valiant and battle-hardened ghost-gods.

And in Little Garden, Asura generally refers to the king of the Asura Clan.

Every generation of the Asura Clan's kings and queens is bestowed with the title of 【Asura】 and a Four-digit status.

At the same time, Asura is also a force affiliated with the Buddhism side, serving as their tentacles in the lower world.

And the mission that Lamia and the others previously accepted was to deliver a letter to the current queen of the Asura Clan.

"Oh? Indra? That guy who forcibly snatched my ancestor's wife, he has descended to the lower world?"

The female voice sneered, her tone carrying a hint of anger.

"He actually managed to catch the tail of Ouroboros? It seems something has stimulated him, causing him to stop that game of playing the useless waste."

"Hmm, let me calculate the recent major events. Is it that Community of Canary? I remember there seems to be a Son of God he dotes on there..."

The Asura Clan and Indra both belong to Buddhism, but the former is not part of the Heavenly Army and has a clear discord with Indra.

As for the specific reasons, Lamia has also heard some rumors; it involves a scandal from a thousand years ago.

The Asura Clan practices intermarriage within the clan, especially for successive queens and kings; their children must be pure-blooded Asuras.

However, the Asura Clan men are ugly while the women are beautiful, so there are bound to be complaints about intermarriage, and extramarital affairs are practically the norm.

Until a slightly love-struck Asura queen named Sachi appeared, and coupled with the fact that Indra likes to seduce married women.

Who could have imagined that Sachi would fall in love and give birth to a daughter for Indra, who is this very Asura queen.

And she refused contact with any male other than Indra.

Actually, things were still normal up to this point, but Indra's evasion directly led to Sachi becoming a yandere.

Plus, another heir of the Asura Clan kidnapped Jialing and was severely taught a lesson by Sun Wukong, losing their status as an heir.

In the end, the matter evolved into Indra's daughter becoming the queen of the Asura Clan.

And because of Indra's behavior of abandoning his wife and daughter, the relationship between the Asura Clan and Indra could not be any worse.

This is also the reason why Ouroboros would send a letter to Asura; the one who can be confirmed to firmly stand with Su Nian is Indra, while Asura can make Indra feel in the wrong and afraid to show his face.

Thus, Su Nian can no longer rely on the power of other forces and can only face the siege of Ouroboros alone.
