Chapter 210: What Kind of Tough Guy Could Actually Keep Shiroyasha?
Lamia did not answer, merely remaining silent with her head bowed; however, at this moment, as if she had recalled something, she spoke up.
"Heavenly Lord Asura."
"What is it?"
A female voice asked, carrying a tone of inquiry.
Lamia hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"The leader of that Community you mentioned, Arcadia, he seems to be very favored by the Baiye King."
"Hm?"
A sound of surprise rang out.
"Should I take that as you threatening me? You little bat of the World King?"
"Of course not, how would I dare to threaten you, Heavenly Lord Asura?"
Lamia said without a ripple in her voice, though at this moment her body was already tensed to the limit.
If Asura showed even the slightest sign of hostility, she would immediately transform into a shadow and vanish from this place.
"I was merely stating a few facts."
Lamia shook her head, recalling the scene she had witnessed back when she was at the Thousand Eyes auction purchasing the Divinity of her aunt, Leticia.
Shiroyasha was sitting right on Su Nian's shoulders, asking for all sorts of little gifts for him everywhere.
"Interesting. Even when Canary was still around, she wasn't able to make the Baiye King place such a heavy bet..."
A light, cheerful laugh rang out, followed by a whisper filled with charm.
"Leave the letter."
"Tell those people in the First Union that I will consider it... I am not yet certain if I want to take action to completely bury that newborn seedling of a Community."
"To think you wouldn't tell me such important intelligence..."
"Heh~"
A soft chuckle echoed through the underground space, seemingly mocking those fellows who didn't even dare to show their faces.
Lamia sighed and silently placed the letter that Ouroboros had asked her to deliver onto the stone platform.
Uncle-in-law, this is all I can do to help you.
As for the rest, you are on your own...
I certainly don't want Aunt to become a widow so soon...
I am still waiting for you to save my mother.
After putting down the letter, Lamia had no reason to stay any longer, so she transformed into a shadow and vanished from this place that made her feel extremely uneasy.
"Heh, the people of the First Union are truly becoming more and more useless."
A petite young girl with short, deep-blue hair, wearing a Hanfu with a distinct Dunhuang style, opened the envelope and began to read with a frown.
"Interesting? How did that trash Indra manage to lose even his own Simulated Star Creation Map?"
Asura couldn't help but develop a tiny bit of interest in Su Nian; of course, it was only a tiny bit.
As someone who had conquered everything with her Four-Digit Exceptional strength as part of the Asura Clan, and who had even defeated quite a few old things to become Queen.
She had no interest in those weaker than herself.
Generally speaking, she would absolutely never pay attention to such trivial matters; it was, after all, just an ordinary victory banquet.
What was there worth wasting her attention on?
Not to mention that Su Nian was one of the Baiye King's people; even though the Asura Clan had a large family and deep roots, they did not want to offend the Baiye King.
What if Shiroyasha reclaimed her Spirit Status and came to settle accounts with the Asura Clan?
But now, she felt a sliver of curiosity regarding the affairs of Arcadia, and not just because of that Moon Rabbit within Arcadia.
It was also curiosity as to how Indra's Vajra had fallen into Su Nian's hands.
And whether she might have a chance to snatch this Vajra for herself?
That way, Indra wouldn't be able to keep hiding, would he?
——
Returning to the surface from the underground temple, she traveled until she left the City of Desire and entered a deep mountain in the wilderness.
"I spoke with that Heavenly Lord Asura about the relationship between Su Nian and Shiroyasha."
Lamia suddenly said; in a sense, they were now on the same front, so there were some things she did not need to hide.
By revealing it, perhaps they could discuss a better plan.
At the very least, regarding their views on Su Nian, the three of them were quite consistent: they would try their best to protect him.
Kalki was stunned for a moment and looked at Lamia with some curiosity.
"How did that Heavenly Lord react?"
"I don't know."
Lamia shook her head and said with some hesitation.
"That Heavenly Lord never appeared from beginning to end."
Kalki sighed in silence, slightly closing his eyes, as if he did not want to see the scene that was about to unfold.
"A chaotic age is about to arrive."
"Whether it is Su Nian's death, or Su Nian surviving and taking revenge on Ouroboros."
"There is only one result for the impact on Little Garden, and that is to completely ignite a chaotic age."
Kalki's tone was extremely heavy; as a natural-born Savior, he truly could not accept such chaos that would cause great harm to those at the bottom.
If something were to happen to Su Nian, those Gods and Buddhas who had once supported Arcadia and supported Canary would definitely stir up trouble.
Canary had only been dead for a few days, and they were already so impatient to start their revenge against the newly rising Arcadia?
Even for someone with the most cowardly personality, they wouldn't be able to endure these one-after-another incidents, right?
Little Garden has finally produced a glimmer of hope, and yet you are all so impatient to crush it to death?
From Gaia, to Leticia, then to Arcadia, Canary, and finally to Su Nian.
Those idealists in Little Garden who support and guide humanity toward a glorious future will truly go insane.
Once, twice, but not a third time; yet now, even a fourth time is about to appear.
And what if Su Nian survives?
Then Su Nian will inevitably carry out a truly insane revenge against Ouroboros—a targeting by a Boundary user hailed as potentially rivaling the Halloween Queen...
But Ouroboros is no pushover either; once Su Nian and Ouroboros go to war, the impact on the situation in Little Garden cannot be small.
The only thing they can do now is try their best not to let the mentality of those idealists hidden among the Gods and Buddhas explode.
Gaia's death can be seen as an accident, but it still triggered the Star God War, eventually ending with the great battle between Typhon and Zeus.
Leticia's failure was due to an internal rebellion within her kin, combined with a weakness in her life structure, and it wasn't a total failure either; at least the Layer Master system was preserved.
Moreover, Leticia took the blame for everything, yet it still triggered considerable chaos.
And Canary's failure was because she was too idealistic and touched upon too many interests, and Canary's methods were indeed chilling.
But Su Nian, he hasn't even done anything yet, and he is already going to be crushed to death?
And then there are those who were once saved by Su Nian and owe him a favor.
Once something happens to Su Nian, no one knows what kind of chaos it will trigger.
"Sigh, I can only hope that Su Nian won't let the lower layers fall into a chaotic world."
Kalki sighed, having no choice but to pin his hopes on Su Nian's character.
He could tell that Ouroboros had spared no cost to ensure his Spirit Status fully matured.
Yet he was forced to accept the fate arranged by the person behind the scenes.
It is truly a great irony; as the final Savior, he is forced to accumulate power from within a chaotic world.
But all he can do is use this to accumulate power in order to resist the chess player behind him.
And now, the first step they must take is to find a way to deal with this meddlesome prophet, Mithra.
As long as Mithra is not removed, they will always be under Mithra's nose, and always under the gaze of the person behind the scenes.
It is just that as a renowned top-tier Three-digit God King, for a group of youngsters whose highest rank is only Four-digit to deal with him, the difficulty is truly too great.
Two days later, at the hour of dawn.
Even though it should have been a time for rest in the middle of the night, Arcadia was in a state of utter chaos.
"Lady Leticia, help us."
Several members of the youth group found Leticia in the conference hall and said in a panic.
"In the last two days, the number of people who have arrived at the City of the End has exceeded ten million, far exceeding the original plan, and most of them are Gift holders of Six-digit or even Five-digit rank and above; the manpower responsible for security is completely insufficient."
"The offenders caught by Lady Nangong Nayue have already filled the prisons."
"Expedite the construction of several more Prison Barriers; I will have Gada take the numbered products to maintain order."
Leticia rubbed her temples in pain, only able to be glad that Su Nian had told her about the existence of those Familiar warheads in the strange realms.
Although their intelligence had not yet had time to be cultivated, as beings possessing True Ancestor-level Familiars within their bodies, they could still maintain order under Gada's leadership.
But before Leticia could heave a sigh of relief, a few more group members ran over.
"Lady Leticia, the guesthouses are severely insufficient; some Communities that haven't been able to check in have already started protesting."
"Go find Black Rabbit and ask her for a few Land Cards to use as guesthouses."
"And the food supply issue; there are too many Communities that came in without prior notice, and we haven't prepared for them..."
"Purchase urgently from Thousand Eyes, sell to them at several times the price; oh, and remember to collect a hosting fee—collect the money first before talking about hosting."
Leticia had no good feelings at all for this group of uninvited guests.
What she hated most were those second-generation Gods and Buddhas from the lower layers; each one was incredibly arrogant, yet they loved to join in the fun the most.
The most important point was that their strength and influence were not weak, so she couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to.
They were the ones who caused the most trouble.
Leticia felt no psychological pressure to fleece them.
After dismissing these group members, the children's group ran over, out of breath, and said.
"Lady Leticia, there are more high gods who want to change to better guesthouses."
"Which faction's high god is it this time..."
Leticia rubbed her temples with a headache.
If it were just those Communities that had submitted letters of introduction, Arcadia's arrangements would certainly have had no problems.
After all, the plan Canary prepared had left plenty of redundancy; even if the number of people doubled, it would still be fine.
The only unexpected factor was that there were simply too many people joining in the fun.
Because of a news report from a certain unscrupulous newspaper, the relationship between Su Nian and Shiroyasha was exposed directly.
Things like "Arcadia's leader is keeping Shiroyasha," or "Shiroyasha's mount is Su Nian"...
In an instant, it attracted who knows how many onlookers to come over to watch the spectacle.
To see what kind of tough guy could actually keep Shiroyasha.
And it just so happened that the incident was too sudden; the original two days of preparation time were already tight enough.
But then, on the very day it was about to start, a huge scoop was dropped.
It caught them completely off guard.
The child from the children's group immediately showed a troubled expression.
"It is a high god of the Greek God Group..."
"Greece... haven't they already arrived?"
Leticia felt a headache coming on; hadn't Heracles, who had a relatively good relationship with Arcadia, arrived long ago?
So, was Arcadia caught up in the internal turmoil of the Greek God Group again?
One wave has barely subsided when another rises.
A headache... who is it that wants us to pick a side again?
At this moment, a member of the younger group said with red eyes.
"The high god also said he would arrange some dancers of excellent quality... if that doesn't work, he thinks we look quite good too..."
"If it weren't for the high god Heracles..."
Arranging dancers—adults understand what that means, but laying hands on children is just...
Leticia fell silent for a moment, rubbed the little head of the younger group member, and said with a calm expression.
"Leave it to me to handle; it's getting late, you go get some sleep first."
After speaking, she used suggestion magic to let the child rest well, then walked toward the office where Su Nian was with a dark face.
Not long after, Leticia knocked on the office door.
"Please come in."
Su Nian's voice came from inside the room.
Leticia walked in and saw Su Nian, who had just finished communicating with Heracles.
"Then, Brother Su Nian, let's end our chat here."
Heracles revealed a simple and honest smile, nodded slightly toward Leticia, and then left.
"No problem, I look forward to your guidance in the future, Uncle B."
Su Nian watched Heracles leave with a face full of smiles.
Only then did Su Nian turn his gaze to Leticia and ask her.
"Would you like some red wine?"
"Yes, please."
Leticia nodded, then walked over and sat on the sofa in front of Su Nian, watching him pour her a drink, and deliberated her tone before speaking.
"You've worked hard... especially when you are still expanding the space to host the world."
"Alright, no need to say more; this counts as my oversight, and I didn't expect the Queen to cause trouble at this time..."
Su Nian held up two glasses of wine, handed one to Leticia, and then took a sip himself.
"Which unwelcome guest is causing you worry? Is it Ares? I have already asked Heracles to handle it."
"He should be a bit more well-behaved later on."
"By the way, you don't need to worry about the matters on the Greek side later; Heracles will block them for us."
For this, Su Nian really bled heavily, paying the price of an entire Noble Phantasm.
The Twelve Labors from the Moon World was of no small value to the Heracles of Little Garden, and Heracles owed Su Nian a huge favor.
Although the Heracles of Little Garden had cleared the Twelve Labors, what he had obtained was an immortal body.
And the Twelve Labors Noble Phantasm was purely twelve lives.
Although Heracles would have to pay a certain price to sublimate this Noble Phantasm to a level where it could be effective for him.
But that was his own business.
All in all, both sides were very satisfied with this cooperation.
