Chapter 279: I Only Have One Sun in My Heart, and That Is the Boss!! Loyalty!

Follow! Why wouldn't I follow!

Shiroyasha and Algol have both invested in high-quality stocks, and the growth is astonishing.

It will be too late if I don't add to the stake now; I don't want to be targeted to death by Algol when the time comes.

Athena dares to stake her own chastity on it—Algol is absolutely capable of doing such a thing!

Then how should I go about adding to the stake?

Athena feels a massive headache; just establishing a cooperative relationship with Su Nian already took all her effort.

She was one step away from exposing her own bottom line.

As for now? What does Su Nian still lack?

Influence? Strength? Spirit Status? Resources? Clout? Or perhaps a backer...

Surely she couldn't just give herself away?

But if investing in Su Nian won't work, what about that Little Athena by Su Nian's side?

The corners of Athena's mouth curled up slightly, and her mood improved quite a bit.

She knows Su Nian does not trust her completely, and of course, she will not open up everything about herself to Su Nian in exchange for his trust.

They are collaborators, not that she, Athena, is Su Nian's puppet.

"Do you really not want to hear about the help I can provide?"

Athena curled the corners of her mouth and said very pleasantly.

Hearing this, Su Nian turned to look at Athena, and after pondering for a moment, asked with some curiosity.

"Then let's hear it?"

Hearing these words, Shiroyasha looked at Athena with some surprise; she seemed to have already understood what Athena intended to do.

Seeing Su Nian agree, Athena's mouth curled up slightly, and she narrowed her eyes.

She raised her hand, and a silver necklace appeared in her palm; at the very center of the necklace was a clear, azure crystal.

She placed the necklace on the coffee table in front of Su Nian.

"This is a necklace containing the 【Pallas】 Divine Position, and it is also a part of my essence."

She explained, then turned her head to look at the somewhat surprised Yadaina and said.

"I think you should know what I intend to do."

Yadaina was completely stunned; she couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at Athena with a look of existential doubt.

No, sister, are you playing for real?

Yadaina's eyelids twitched wildly as she looked at Athena in disbelief.

If she wasn't mistaken, Athena was supporting her to replace her?

This isn't some minor squabble like splitting faith, but directly handing over the essence of her own existence.

However, Su Nian had roughly realized what Athena wanted to do; she had likely already realized that her win rate was not high and had started preparing a retreat in advance.

After all, because her existence's essence is Athena, this is not something that can be avoided by merely giving up a Spirit Status or a name to escape being converged by that Athena from Saint Seiya.

Unless she completely abandons the essence of her existence, but in that case, Athena would be no different from being dead.

Everything managed under the identity of Athena would disappear, just like deleting a max-level main account—a total loss.

It is better to find a counterpart of oneself to completely replace oneself; if the gamble fails, she can hand over her essence to Yadaina, and she herself can start accumulating from scratch in another Avatar.

Overall, this is a collaboration that is absolutely not a loss for Su Nian, Athena, and Yadaina.

Su Nian gets all of Athena's wealth for free, Athena has a retreat, and she also has a chance to challenge the Two-digit rank.

As for Yadaina, what else could she have to say?

She is the one who wins by doing nothing; she just needs to lie down and wait for Athena to struggle.

Even with the worst luck, she would at least become a Three-digit God King; with better luck, becoming a Two-digit is not impossible.

At most, she would become an Avatar of that Athena, but Su Nian knows that the Athena from Saint Seiya is actually quite easy to talk to; there is a high probability she would recognize Yadaina as an Avatar and grant her a status equal to her own.

Yes, truly treating Yadaina as another version of herself.

Athena glanced at Yadaina, seemingly finding her reaction very interesting.

"Of course, if you are willing, you can use the names Metis, Athena, or Medusa to participate in any Gift Game."

In a sense, Athena is lowering the difficulty of persuading Algol to give up the Medusa Spirit Status; after all, everything she is doing is making a wedding dress for Su Nian and Yadaina.

Giving up the Medusa Spirit Status is nothing more than moving it from the left hand to the right hand.

Surely Algol isn't so crazy that she wouldn't even take a free benefit?

Then she would really have to wonder if Algol's brain was sealed away when she was sealed.

"However, I suggest you participate in Gift Games under the name Pallas; it will save you a lot of trouble."

After all, any of these three names is simply too big for the current Yadaina.

She does not have the strength to match them.

In Little Garden, holding a position without the corresponding virtue is a very terrible thing.

It would be better to hide her identity using the name Pallas first.

"Thank you, this one will consider your advice."

Yadaina silently accepted the necklace, and Su Nian did not stop Yadaina's actions, indicating Su Nian's attitude.

"However, I am a bit curious, how do you intend to stabilize this situation, kid?"

Seeing that Athena had already shown her sincerity, Shiroyasha silently moved Athena into the list of trusted insiders.

There was no need to continue hiding some subsequent matters from Athena.

Of course, what she was more curious about was how Su Nian intended to stabilize Little Garden, this powder keg about to be completely ignited.

Ever since Dystopia ended the Dawn Period of Little Garden, under the stability maintenance of the Heavenly Army, Little Garden has entered a period of general peace and stability.

However, the contradictions accumulated over many years have not diminished in the slightest; if these internal contradictions are not resolved, they are very likely to erupt all at once, taking advantage of the chaos Su Nian has triggered this time.

Returning to the Dawn Period is putting it mildly.

But since the Boss would entrust the task of maintaining Little Garden's stability to Su Nian, it means that in the Boss's view, this task can definitely be completed.

Su Nian picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and said.

"It can't exactly be called stabilizing; it can only be said that I am turning the chaos that might be caused this time into a controllable, large-scale Gift Game."

"Just like the Sun Authority War."

"You better be sure about this, kid."

Hearing the familiar name of the Sun Authority War, Shiroyasha glared fiercely at Su Nian.

You really have to bring up the one thing that shouldn't be mentioned, don't you? It's as if the last Sun Authority War didn't cause a huge commotion.

Moreover, she suffered heavy losses during the Sun Authority War; after all, the Fourteen Sun Sovereignties were originally all hers.

In the end, she only managed to snatch back fourteen.

Seeming to realize he had said the wrong thing, Su Nian explained awkwardly.

"Cough, cough, what I mean is that it will absolutely not cause such heavy casualties as the last Sun Authority War."

Su Nian was speaking of the Second Sun Authority War; in the original second novel series, this Sun Authority War was controlled quite well.

As for whether there will be a second Sun Authority War now, that is hard to say.

Hearing this from Su Nian, Shiroyasha raised her eyebrows and said with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Yo-ho, listening to you, it seems you are very confident."

Speaking of this, she asked with a grin.

"Come tell me your plan. Feel free to tell me; I guarantee my full support!"

Upon hearing this, Su Nian did not dare to look directly into Shiroyasha's eyes, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"I intend to seek the help of the Halloween Queen, in the identity of Arthur."

Hearing this, Shiroyasha stood up with a start and asked subconsciously.

"What? You want to seek help from that bitch Wansheng?"

"Yes."

Su Nian nodded, feeling slightly in the wrong.

"No, I don't agree! I can also provide you with help, why do you have to find that bitch Wansheng!!"

Shiroyasha's reaction was unusually intense; she felt a thick sense of crisis.

As for Athena, she had a stunned expression; the look in her eyes as she gazed at Su Nian was no different from how one would look at a hero.

What kind of ultimate tough guy is this? To actually be involved with that Queen while being a Subordinate God of Shiroyasha?

A hero! She, Athena, is willing to honor Su Nian as a true hero!

However, Athena also had a sudden realization; she finally understood where the rumor that Arthur, the true leader of Avalon, was about to return had come from.

So it turns out that since that time, the Halloween Queen had been preparing to poach Shiroyasha's subordinate.

"But Boss, this is something you really can't provide help with..."

After all, Su Nian needs the Halloween Queen's deterrent power, since the unfinished Spirit Status of the Last King is currently on him.

It is true that Shiroyasha can protect him, but the point is that Shiroyasha does not have enough deterrent power in Little Garden.

She cannot stop those bold, petty people.

"The unfinished Spirit Status of the Last King is currently on me."

Su Nian said quietly.

"Ah? Are you kidding me, kid? You're carrying such a big bomb on yourself?"

Shiroyasha looked at Su Nian with some worry; this Spirit Status of the Last King sounded like a hot potato.

And come to think of it, he really could only seek help from that bitch.

Shiroyasha was in a very bad mood.

"However, I am bearing the fate of the Last King with the Spirit Status of Arthur."

Hearing this, Shiroyasha's expression changed instantly; suddenly she felt that Su Nian going to find the Halloween Queen was not so hard to accept.

Su Nian was gifting a ticking time bomb to the Halloween Queen.

"Well done."

Shiroyasha patted Su Nian on the shoulder happily.

"That goes without saying, in my heart there is only one sun, and that is the Boss!! Loyalty!!"

Su Nian shouted with great spirit.

"Moreover, if things go smoothly, perhaps this time I can repay the Halloween Queen's favor and break free from her."

Su Nian said while pinching his chin.

Although the Halloween Queen hadn't done anything to him, the feeling of living under someone else's roof was ultimately not that great.

Hopefully, I can take this opportunity to completely pay off the favor owed to the 【Creation Principle】.
