Chapter 225: This Rotted Heavenly Army Is Finished!!

"If there's nothing worth saying, then let's not say anything."

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Uesugi Kenshin and said.

"Besides, I didn't force you to walk over here to talk."

"Honestly, kids these days really aren't cute at all. I really don't know what Athena likes about you?"

Mata couldn't help but retort.

"But since you were even able to take down Athena, are you interested in taking down another one?"

As she spoke, Mata blinked at Su Nian, then reached out her hand to wrap her arm around Su Nian's neck, pointing at the dazed Uesugi Kenshin on the side.

"What do you think of Uesugi Kenshin? She is the Bishamonten of the Heavenly Army, I guarantee she's no worse than Athena, and her personality is much better."

"And let me tell you a secret, this gal is actually a Virgin Goddess too."

"Mata!!"

Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help but shout, then with a cold face, she pinched Mata's ear and pulled her away from Su Nian's body.

"Uesugi, listen to me, if you don't seize this opportunity, with your tomboy personality, you won't be off the market even in a few hundred thousand years..."

Then, Su Nian and Athena turned around very politely.

Master Su is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see beauties suffer, so he chose not to look and not to listen.

After a long while, a refreshed Uesugi Kenshin walked over with a slightly flushed face; it was clear she had been infuriated by Mata and hadn't recovered yet.

"Apologies, I have made a spectacle of myself before you all."

Uesugi Kenshin said in a flat tone, not offering any explanation, as Mata's reputation was well-known.

However, when she looked at Su Nian, her gaze still flickered noticeably.

"Speaking of which, I don't think I've congratulated you on retrieving the flag and becoming the leader of Arcadia, and I didn't get a chance to give you the Heavenly Army's gratitude from last time."

"I might as well give it to you all at once."

"So is it a gift or cash?"

Su Nian looked at Uesugi Kenshin with some curiosity.

"You really are shameless."

Uesugi Kenshin's mouth twitched, then she took a palm-sized silver clock from her bosom and tossed it to Su Nian.

Su Nian caught it smoothly, touched the clock, and looked up at Uesugi Kenshin in surprise.

"The Heavenly Army's emergency contact device; if you encounter a powerful Demon King, you can use this."

After Uesugi Kenshin finished saying this, she looked up and scanned her surroundings, then whispered.

"Of course, you'd best not hold too much hope for it; after all, you know how the efficiency of the current Heavenly Army is..."

Is it something like the police showing up to clean up the mess after the fact?

Su Nian's gaze flickered slightly; he had probably guessed the use of this thing.

"I have a feeling this thing will be used very soon."

"Your feeling is likely correct."

Uesugi Kenshin said with a subtle expression.

"Is that a reminder or a warning?"

"What reminder or warning? Why do young people these days all think so much?"

Mata suddenly popped out and hooked her arm around Su Nian's neck, pulling hard, nearly clamping him under her armpit.

"Honestly, can't you have even a little bit of expectation for the Heavenly Army?"

While laughing and scolding, Mata suddenly lowered her voice and secretly transmitted a message.

"This should count as a request; Indra wants you to be careful and not make too big of a scene. The lower levels can no longer withstand any greater turmoil."

Su Nian's pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't say anything, only saying with a smile.

"How could I dare to have expectations? You know, the first growth after becoming an adult starts with calling the police."

Hearing this, Mata was stunned for a moment and muttered softly.

"The Heavenly Army shouldn't be rotten to that extent, right..."

But as she said it, she herself lacked the confidence.

Moreover, it was hard to say whether Indra's request was to preserve the last shred of the Heavenly Army's dignity.

Is it that the lower levels cannot withstand the turmoil, or is it that the Heavenly Army cannot withstand greater turmoil?

No one knew this better than she, a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Army.

The original intention of the Heavenly Army's founding was actually a coalition of God Groups sent to deal with Dystopia, and it remained after Dystopia disappeared.

It took on the responsibility of maintaining order between the upper and lower levels and dealing with Demon Kings and Humanity's Final Trial.

But in fact, when first facing Absolute Evil, the Heavenly Army suffered a crushing defeat and was forced to hand over the task of breaking Humanity's Final Trial to Canary.

At this time, the Heavenly Army's dignity had already been shaken; if not for Indra later soloing the Three-Headed Dragon, the Heavenly Army would likely have been disbanded back then.

But now, when facing the Three-Headed Dragon and Angra Mainyu again, the Heavenly Army still hasn't played a decisive role.

It has always been Arcadia doing the heavy lifting—previously it was Canary, and now it is Su Nian.

It looks very nice, right? But for the Heavenly Army, this is a major dereliction of duty.

It's like a case that the police force failed to solve being solved by a private detective.

How rotten must the police force be then? What is the use of having a police force? This is a major dereliction of duty.

And now, the Heavenly Army needs some Merit to prove its existence and duty.

Coincidentally, Su Nian has been targeted by Ouroboros.

Look, the Heavenly Army protected the leader of Arcadia, the greatest hero facing Humanity's Final Trial, from Ouroboros—what a dazzling Merit that is.

Then they can use it to fend off impeachment from other God Groups.

It's just that things are very awkward now; the person Ouroboros sent out is the daughter of the Lord of the Heavenly Army herself, and right now, the Heavenly Army might not necessarily be her match.

After all, the Twelve Heavenly Generals are either still recovering from severe injuries or have just returned through reincarnation; one can't say their strength has returned to its peak, right? One could only say they are still in rehabilitation.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a rush to carry out a change of leadership.

Day Heaven, Wind Heaven, Rakshasa Heaven, Yama Heaven, Water Heaven, and Fire Heaven are either preparing for a change of leadership or have already completed it.

Currently, within the Heavenly Army, the ones who can be said to have relatively intact strength are Earth Heaven Mata and Brahma, because they are responsible for intelligence work.

As for Indra... he is the one who was injured the most severely.

And as for the remaining two heavens, Ishana Heaven and Moon Heaven, their reincarnations have not yet returned.

Looking at Su Nian, his current strength is really not weak at all, and with his attainments in the Boundary, escaping is definitely not a big problem.

Things are very awkward now; it can only be treated as a commission.

Hearing Mata's words, Su Nian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows; why does it feel like this Heavenly Army is having a hard time?

After Mata finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head, looked at Su Nian with burning eyes, and grabbed Su Nian's hands tightly.

"Say, your kid's Divine Beast Avatars should have a very high compatibility with the Sun Authority, right?"

Su Nian nodded slightly, not understanding what Mata meant by asking this question at this time.

Why did it suddenly shift to his Familiar?

"That is to say... as long as you gather enough Sun Authority, you can split off a sufficient number of Divine Beast Avatars, right?"

"And the quality of the Avatars is not low either; there is a high probability they can reach Four-Digit Exceptional... Zodiac, twelve Four-Digit Exceptional..."

Mata muttered in a low voice; the more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and the tighter she gripped Su Nian's hands.

"Does your kid have any interest in becoming..."

But before Mata could finish her sentence, she was punched unconscious by Uesugi Kenshin; Uesugi Kenshin's mouth twitched slightly, and a forced smile appeared on her face.

"Sorry, Mata has been working overtime until she's gone crazy lately, and she's a bit mentally deranged."

Looking at Uesugi Kenshin's fist, which was still emitting steam, Su Nian's mouth twitched.

You don't seem to be doing much better yourself, right?

Mata rubbed the large bump that had emerged on her head, her gaze still looking at Su Nian eagerly.

"So you really..."

"Sorry, he has no interest whatsoever, so don't push him into the pit."

Before Mata could finish her words, Athena blocked Su Nian's front, refusing gently but unquestioningly.

As for Su Nian, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was already heavy enough; he didn't need to carry any more.

And it was very obvious that this Heavenly Army was an absolute massive pit.

Mata still wanted to say something, but Athena didn't give Mata any chance to speak.

She smiled gently, but the words she spoke were full of threats.

"If I see you harassing Su Nian again, I wouldn't mind crushing your tits."

Mata's expression stiffened and froze for a moment, then she said with a sheepish laugh.

"Re, really now, at least consider the face of a goddess, won't you?"

"Sorry, I have a few days every month specifically for not caring about face."

"Also, I similarly do not wish for my gossip to appear in the Spring Water Agency's newspaper, thank you."

After finishing, Athena elegantly flicked her long hair, which resembled golden silk, and pulled Su Nian away directly.

The greetings had already been exchanged; there was no point in staying any longer.

Mata's mouth twitched; she understood Athena's attitude.

"Really, they haven't even confirmed their relationship yet, and she's already protecting her man like this; if they did confirm it, what would happen then?"

Mata muttered to herself, venting her dissatisfaction.

"Truly worthy of being Metis's daughter; this attitude of protecting her man is really inherited."

Mata sighed with emotion, then sent a text message with her phone, telling the newspaper staff to stop writing; she didn't want to be targeted by Athena for real.

It's a pity; the fun this time can only be earned by other newspapers... Mata thought with regret while shrugging her shoulders.

"It's just hard on Jialing; she finally found a good man, only to be targeted by a yandere like Athena."

But Athena suddenly turned her head and glared at Mata; Mata also hurriedly covered her mouth—gossiping about others behind their backs?

She is an Earth Mother Goddess, how could she possibly do such a thing?

Only Uesugi Kenshin shook her head on the side and sighed helplessly.

This lousy Heavenly Army is doomed!!

Should she polish her resume in advance? But which God Group or Community would want her?

Having been pulled out by Athena for only a few steps, Su Nian suddenly remembered something and his footsteps paused.

Looking down at the Heavenly Army Emergency Contact Device in his hand, a smile couldn't help but curl at the corner of his mouth, and he pressed it without any hesitation.

Instantly, Uesugi Kenshin, who was still on the side, showed a bitter expression and looked at Su Nian with a weary face.

She didn't say anything, yet she said everything; she looked just like a corporate slave who had finally gotten a break only to be dragged back to work.

"Nothing much, I'm just testing it, and incidentally reporting that a powerful Demon King has appeared at the Arcadia banquet site, requiring the Heavenly Army's support."

Su Nian's mouth curled up slightly, saying this with a wicked smile.

He admitted that he had always been a person despicable to the extreme, using any means necessary.

"What Demon King?"

Uesugi Kenshin was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

With Athena, two Twelve Heavenly Generals, and many Four-digit experts present, which Demon King would dare to come and cause trouble?

Even if they were crazy, they would at least understand the situation, right?

Attacking while others are celebrating, and when allies are all present—don't force people to hit you at their happiest moment.

"The Queen of the Asura clan, I even have evidence here of her colluding with Ouroboros!"

As he spoke, Su Nian took out the warning letter from Lamia; naturally, what was written inside was her mission log, which she had conveniently sent a copy of to Su Nian.

In any case, her status was special, so she could act recklessly; she even mentioned while communicating with Su Nian that once she was kicked out by Ouroboros, she would have no choice but to rely on her uncle-in-law.

Uesugi Kenshin shook her head with a bitter smile and sighed.

"Sorry, I can't stop it."

Besides, even if she could stop it, it would be impossible for her to take action.

Su Nian didn't know the Asura's identity, but didn't she know? The daughter of her own immediate superior—who would dare to take action?

No matter how severely injured Indra might be, he was still that fearsome Lord of the Heavenly Army.

This lousy Heavenly Army is doomed; the Lord of the Heavenly Army is taking the lead in bending the law for personal gain.

"Her status is very special; it is not easy for the Heavenly Army to take action."

Uesugi Kenshin said with a very troubled expression.

"I know that, don't I?"

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders casually; to be fair, Lamia really treated him as her own uncle-in-law, and when it came to sharing intelligence, she had almost leaked the entire bottom line of Ouroboros.

Then why are you reporting her right in front of us...

Uesugi Kenshin's mouth twitched, and looking at Su Nian, she didn't quite know what to say.

At this moment, she only felt that Su Nian's face was very punchable.

"Didn't I say it? I was just testing the effect of this thing."

Su Nian said, tossing the silver clock in his hand.

"Now it seems, the effect is actually quite good?"

Just a moment ago, the instant Su Nian pressed it, he was able to feel a protective shield and the fluctuation of a Boundary.

The Heavenly Army Emergency Contact Device could actually protect the holder and teleport them away when they encountered danger.

However, the protective effect was limited; Su Nian could break free from that shield with a slight exertion of force, and as for the teleportation, it wasn't even one-tenth as good as his own spatial abilities.

"Forget it, I'll give you a new one."

Uesugi Kenshin sighed with a weary face, took out another Heavenly Army Emergency Contact Device from her bosom, and tossed it to Su Nian.

"This thing is very expensive to manufacture, don't be so wasteful next time."
