Chapter 276: What kind of person has such a vicious heart?

City of the End.

Having returned to Arcadia not long ago, Su Nian skillfully took a bottle of expensive red wine and two wine glasses from the wine cabinet behind him.

"Judging by the time, Yadaina should have been discovered by Athena by now, right?"

Su Nian poured two glasses of red wine and picked one up to take a light sip.

Soon, in the void, it was as if a colored brush had appeared, sketching out a figure bit by bit.

Silver-white short hair, wearing a blue cat-eared knitted hat, a petite figure, and a young and beautiful face.

Seeing the other party, Su Nian raised his wine glass and smiled as he clinked it with Athena's.

"Welcome to Little Garden."

Athena slowly opened her eyes, moved her fingers quite unaccustomedly, and said softly.

"Is this Little Garden?"

"How does it feel?"

Su Nian smiled and picked up the other glass of red wine from the table to hand to Athena.

"The power has increased a bit too much."

Athena carefully took the wine glass, took a small sip, and squinted her eyes as she spoke.

The stem of the transparent wine glass made a 'crack' sound at this moment and then completely shattered, and Athena's way of holding the glass changed to cupping it.

Only then did she manage to avoid crushing the glass again.

Feeling the surging power within her body, Athena could not help but exclaim.

"This feeling is truly fascinating."

After taking a sip, Su Nian looked at Athena.

"Not bad, it's about what we estimated: Four-digit Legendary level, which is acceptable."

"It's a pity, my race is clearly that of a Divine Spirit."

Athena said with a hint of annoyance; she was still a bit unhappy about not being able to be classified as a Born God and Buddha.

"It is an Acquired God."

Su Nian corrected the error in Athena's language while sitting on the sofa and crossing his legs.

"Little Garden Central's judgment for Born Gods and Buddhas is very strict."

Athena puffed out her cheeks, not very happy, and looked at Su Nian with some helplessness.

"I know, can't you just let me be happy for a moment?"

"No, I have to shatter your Fantasy about Little Garden."

Su Nian said quite cruelly.

There are two types of judgments for Born Gods and Buddhas: one is an existence born with a Divine Position, just like the Born Divine Spirit Athena of Little Garden, whose parents were both Born Divine Spirits.

They are born in a true Mythology world and possess authority from birth.

The other type is being born with Root-based abilities, or having a deep connection to the Root of the world.

Just like Sajyou Ayaka and Ryougi Shiki, who are born linked to the Root.

The Moon Rabbit clan to which Black Rabbit belongs is the same; their ears are linked to Little Garden Central.

In fact, even for the Divine Spirits of the Dungeon world, it is difficult to judge whether they are Born Gods and Buddhas or spirits born in Heaven that coexist with Heaven.

However, there is a high probability they would be judged as spirits, because their counterparts as Divine Spirits already exist in Little Garden.

In general, the judgment of a Born Divine Spirit depends on the essence of life; if the essence is not noble enough, Little Garden Central will not grant the status of a Born God and Buddha at all.

The Spirit Status of one of the Three Strongest Species is not that cheap.

"What a man without gentlemanly manners; I must have been blind to have taken a liking to you."

Athena complained about Su Nian.

"By the way, aren't you going to bring Luo Hao and the others over?"

Su Nian was stunned for a moment and rubbed his temples with a headache.

"I have other arrangements for Guinevere and Lancelot."

"As for Luo Hao... I'm afraid she'll be beaten to death by Jialing."

Su Nian said with a very subtle expression.

Jialing certainly wouldn't indulge Luo Hao's temper; she is the Heaven-Mixing Great Sage, the Peng Demon King, after all.

If it really comes to experience as a Demon King, she has far more than Luo Hao.

"Serves you right."

Athena couldn't help but spit secretly.

Who told you to be so greedy? But it is precisely because of his greed that she has this sliver of a chance to survive, isn't it?

"Serves who right?"

Su Nian rolled his eyes at Athena in annoyance and tapped her on the head.

"Prepare yourself, Yadaina; the Athena of Little Garden is coming soon."

"I hope you can survive at the hands of Athena."

Athena sighed, was silent for a moment, and said.

"I hope so."

Is it unavoidable after all? ——

San San Si Wu Outer Gate, Thousand Eyes base.

Shiroyasha, who had used Su Nian's money to invite a famous girl group from the West District to perform a lewd dance, looked at her subordinate in front of her and said in astonishment.

"What? The boss wants to see us?"

"Yes, Lady Shiroyasha."

The shop clerk replied with awe and nervousness.

"Tsk, I have a bad premonition."

Shiroyasha muttered, then waved her hand at those girls and walked silently into a closed courtyard.

Could it be that the matter involving that kid Su Nian has been exposed?

Shiroyasha felt a bit uneasy; if it really had been exposed, how could she protect Su Nian from her two bosses?

Or perhaps, how could she muddle through it with cuteness?

After entering the room, the door slammed shut instantly, and then, one by one, golden lights lit up on the ground, surrounding a circle and forming an 【α】 character.

Seeing the character light up, Shiroyasha walked to the center of the character and closed her eyes.

The light blooming on the ground grew brighter and brighter, and bit by bit, the radiance gathered in the air above.

When Shiroyasha opened her eyes, she saw a line of text floating in mid-air.

"Maintain the order of the lower layers and fulfill the duties of a Full Authority Layer Master."

Once Shiroyasha saw this line of text, the handwriting began to disappear bit by bit, as if erased by an eraser.

Seeing this, Shiroyasha scratched her head in distress.

"It seems Su Nian has stirred up a big mess again."

"I feel like there will be no shortage of trouble ahead."

Shiroyasha said helplessly, and the next moment, she suddenly realized something.

"Eh, wait, why do I have to clean up the mess Su Nian caused?"

"He is my Subordinate God, after all; shouldn't the responsibility of fulfilling the duties of a Full Authority Layer Master be left to him?"

Once the thought of shifting the blame arose, the world instantly felt vast and wide.

In an instant, Shiroyasha perked up.

Just then, Shiroyasha looked up and saw a blonde goddess riding a Pegasus flying past, heading straight toward the direction of Arcadia.

"That is... Athena? What is she doing going to Arcadia?"

Shiroyasha was silent for two or three seconds, as if she had understood something.

"The victim has come knocking, this is it!"

Shiroyasha's expression was somewhat subtle; if she hadn't happened to see Athena, she might have only seen Su Nian's corpse upon returning.

"So for Su Nian's sake, I, the boss, must step forward and feed myself to the tiger!"

Shiroyasha chuckled, and in a flash, she appeared behind Athena.

She hugged Athena from behind.

"Athena, if there's anything, come to me, the Main God; I tell you, I'm definitely protecting Su Nian!"

Shiroyasha said in a very domineering voice, if only she weren't currently wearing a lecherous expression while sniffing the scent on Athena's body.

Athena was silent for a long while, then said with a dark face and gritted teeth.

"Why would you think I am going to settle scores with Su Nian?"

"Eh? I actually guessed wrong?"

Shiroyasha was actually quite surprised now.

If the boss told her to maintain the order of the lower layers, it couldn't be that the lower layers were really in trouble, right? And it wasn't caused by Su Nian?

This was what Athena asked with some curiosity.

"Asked with some curiosity, why would you think I am going to cause trouble for Su Nian?"

Although that was pretty much it, the main purpose was to find the other Athena, probe Su Nian's stance, and if possible, beat up Algol to vent.

"Uh..."

Shiroyasha was stunned; it was obvious that the task assigned by the two goddesses could not be told to Athena.

Athena looked at the troubled Shiroyasha and gave up on continuing the argument.

She no longer had the heart to continue arguing.

"Forget it, take a look for yourself."

After Athena met with the other Athena in an unknown way, Athena's Spirit Status had accelerated its changes significantly.

Now, the change was complete.

And a certain feeling told her that the Trinity Athena had likely already arrived in Little Garden.

Since Shiroyasha would know sooner or later, Athena simply released her Spirit Status directly.

"The wisdom of the heavens, the nobility of the Earth Mother, and the prestige of the Queen of the Underworld..."

Shiroyasha was dumbfounded as she watched the manifestation of Athena's Spirit Status.

"Athena, Medusa, Metis—a Trinity ancient queen; whose heart is so vicious?"

Making Athena, Algol, and Athena's mother become the same person—this rumor is a bit too ruthless, isn't it?

No, this is more than just ruthless; this is a werewolf.

Which genius came up with this move? What kind of grudge does this person have against Athena?

Wait... could it be Su Nian?

Shiroyasha's expression froze.

Damn, it really is possible. The boss told me to maintain the order of Little Garden, and right after, Athena went to settle scores with Su Nian.

It's hard to say there's no connection here.

Could Athena really be going to settle scores with Su Nian?

While Shiroyasha pondered, her naughty little hands, which were still hugging Athena from behind, were also groping up and down.

Higher, a little higher, almost able to touch it...

Opportunities to take advantage of Athena like this are rare.

Then Shiroyasha was suddenly thrown off by a burst of acceleration.

Leaving behind only Athena, who was galloping away while riding Pegasus.

"Tsk, it was just a bit of lovely interaction between girls, was it really necessary?"

Shiroyasha clicked her tongue in annoyance, though she did not seem the least bit worried about Su Nian's safety.

At most, he would just get a lecture from Athena, and this was purely Su Nian courting death himself.

This time she was siding with Athena, and she would go to hold Athena back only when Athena made a move later.

Perhaps... she could even do it again.

Thinking this, a lecherous smile appeared on Shiroyasha's face once more.
