Chapter 287: Indra: There are treacherous people who want to harm me

Five Hundred Outer Gate, Tianjun Zongbu.

Mata held a stack of parchment printed with the double-goddess emblem and waved her hand at Indra.

"Old Indra, the latest intelligence from Thousand Eyes, and it's even free of charge. Do you want to take a look?"

"Oh? Interesting? With that money-grubbing nature of Thousand Eyes, how come it's free?"

Indra, who was hunched over a mountain of documents, revealed an interested expression.

It is well known that intelligence from Thousand Eyes is fair, objective, accurate, highly timely, and has never had any errors.

But the price for this is the exorbitant intelligence fee charged by Thousand Eyes, which sometimes reaches a price that even makes God Groups wince.

Robbing money? How could robbing money be as fast as intelligence?

"It seems to be related to the recent changes in Mythology."

Mata spread out the document, reading it while grumbling.

"Thousand Eyes has been swindling money from me for so many years; today, no matter what, I'm going to get a freebie from Thousand Eyes."

But gradually, the voice faded away.

Sensing that something was wrong, Indra raised his head and asked in surprise.

"Why did you stop reading?"

"Are you sure you want me to read it?"

Mata looked at Indra with a strange expression.

"What happened?"

Indra's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up.

"You'd better see for yourself."

Mata stood up, stepped forward to hand the intelligence to Indra, and added a curse for good measure.

"Damn it, sure enough, the free ones are the most expensive. Old Indra, you have to hold on."

"What on earth happened..."

Indra felt a bit nervous; he took the document and began to read.

【The universe that recently triggered a large-scale change in Mythology has been observed. The biggest difference between this universe and the current Human History lies in...】

【In a certain parallel world, Verethragna serves as the Last King.】

【The Last King manifests at the end of time, the final Savior, encompassing the ten Avatars of Vishnu, the faith in the Son of God, the Eternal King Arthur, the Future Buddha Maitreya...】

With a whoosh of wind, the document dropped to the floor.

Mata looked at Indra's nostrils, which had suddenly flared and were even puffing out air, and remained silent.

"There are treacherous people who want to harm me!"

"There are treacherous people who want to harm me!"

Indra knelt on his office chair, hugging the back of the chair and shouting, his voice full of terror and the fear of being persecuted.

Uesugi Kenshin, who had just returned from a mission, heard Indra's shouting as soon as she entered the door and couldn't help but look at Mata.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He was scared out of his wits by the intelligence sent by Thousand Eyes."

Mata shrugged her shoulders, then picked up a pear from the table, handed it to Uesugi Kenshin, and said.

"I was just wondering why Thousand Eyes would suddenly find their conscience and send free intelligence? Turns out it was to intimidate us."

"Where is the intelligence?"

Uesugi Kenshin took the pear and asked in surprise.

Mata let out a 'pfft' sound, unable to hold back a laugh, and pointed in the direction where Indra was.

"There, right there, but I suggest you'd better prepare yourself mentally."

Uesugi Kenshin frowned, curiously picked up the document, spread out the intelligence, and slowly began to read.

Uesugi Kenshin silently flipped through the files, her speed increasing as she went, until finally, she paused, looked up at Mata, and said.

"As the next Lord of the Heavenly Army, how about you vote for me?"

"Get lost!"

Indra, who was clutching the sofa, grabbed his desk and hurled it at Uesugi Kenshin.

"I'm not dead yet!"

"I think you will be soon."

Uesugi Kenshin did not dodge or evade, letting the desk and the documents on it pass right through her, and said calmly.

Indra's expression froze at these words, and he snapped.

"Can you stop gloating? I'm almost finished here, alright?"

"Aren't you still here?"

Uesugi Kenshin looked indifferent; it wasn't her who was suffering, after all.

"As expected of you, Uesugi."

Mata laughed heartily.

"When the Heavenly Army chooses a new leader, I will definitely vote for you."

"You two heartless..."

Indra ground his teeth fiercely, took a few deep breaths, and only then calmed his mood.

"Who on earth cooked up this piece of junk?"

"Didn't the intelligence say? It's a new world observed by Little Garden Central, and Thousand Eyes found the coordinates of that world before anyone else."

Uesugi Kenshin picked up the pear and took a calm bite.

"Forget it, do you think I believe that? Unless those two speak up, the Heavenly Army's jurisdiction over observing the world is still ahead of Thousand Eyes."

Indra couldn't help but roll his eyes; some worlds with extreme influence on Little Garden are still handled by the Heavenly Army, aren't they?

Just then, Mata at the side wiped her mouth with a tissue and said.

"Of course, it's also possible that you're just purely unlucky, and the Last King just happened to fall onto your head."

Hearing this, Indra's face darkened a few shades more.

Damn it, just how black is his luck to be this unlucky? He is very satisfied with his current situation and has no thoughts of climbing higher.

"That shouldn't be, am I really that unlucky..."

"Aren't you lucky? You picked up an unfinished Spirit Status that is at least One-digit base for nothing?"

Uesugi Kenshin held back her laughter and patted Indra on the shoulder with quite a bit of sympathy.

"Do you really think Laozi is short of this bit of Spirit Status? When I was still the Supreme God in Hinduism, my Spirit Status wasn't much worse than this, right?"

Indra gripped his throat and roared.

Damn it, he has reached this level, yet he still can't avoid being targeted, right?

Provoke him, and he'll tell you, you are...

"Think about how to face the Sun King Group."

Mata said indifferently, stabbing a blade through the fragile heart of Indra, who had finally mustered up some courage.

Indra fell at the sound, leaning powerlessly against the sofa, his body twitching as if he were a corpse.

Provoke him, and you have kicked cotton.

Regardless of who put this high hat on him, his most important task now is to clear his name.

"Why don't you try asking at Thousand Eyes? Since it's information they released, maybe there's a follow-up to that?"

Uesugi Kenshin said nonchalantly; she didn't tell Indra that she actually also has the possibility of the Last King's unfinished Spirit Status.

She also wants to see the foundation of this old thing, whether he is truly injured or faking it, treating her like a beast of burden day after day.

She has grievances too.

"By the way, remember..."

Uesugi Kenshin fell silent; before she could finish her sentence, Indra's figure had already disappeared.

"Remember to help me ask why I also have the possibility of that Last King on me."

Uesugi Kenshin and Mata looked at each other, and the atmosphere became even more silent for a moment.

"Damn, this old dog ran way too fast."

Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help but curse; she still wanted to remind Indra to be careful not to be scammed by Thousand Eyes.

"Hmph, I hope this guy's private treasury is enough to pay the information fee for Thousand Eyes."

Mata also said with some speechlessness.

It can only be said that Indra deserves to be blackmailed and suffer a heavy loss.

Ever since receiving the free information from Thousand Eyes, Mata felt something was wrong; now she feels it's more like blackmail.

Then, Mata and Uesugi Kenshin fell into silence.

"Oh no, the key to the Heavenly Army treasury is still in Indra's hands!"

A few minutes later, the Tianjun Zongbu was suddenly in chaos, and the sounds of certain Gods and Buddhas cursing could be vaguely heard.

At this time, at the boundary gate leading to the lower levels of Little Garden, Indra rubbed his nose, patted the stuffed pockets on his body, and muttered.

It's almost been discovered; no, I have to leave quickly.

Speaking of this, Indra couldn't help but quicken his pace.

San San Si Wu Outer Gate, Thousand Eyes station.

Shiroyasha, wearing a purple kimono embroidered with peonies and maintaining the image of a young girl, was happily tapping on the received information fees.

"One Authority Artifact, two Authority Artifacts... one Authority, two Authorities..."

"Hehehe, this time I've really made a fortune."

A indescribable smile appeared on Shiroyasha's face; touching the Authority Artifacts and Authorities was like touching a young girl's soft skin.

"In a little while, I can earn another sum, and then I'll invite Su Nian to go play in Hua Du together."

Thump, thump, thump! Footsteps sounded.

A maid responsible for taking care of Shiroyasha's residence at the Thousand Eyes station ran over.

"Lord Shiroyasha, Heavenly Lord Indra requests an audience!"

Hearing this, Shiroyasha put away the Artifacts and Authorities she had earned and clapped her hands.

"Yo-ho, the money-sender is here again."

As the words fell, a voice full of resentment came.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that; what do you mean by 'the money-sender is here'?"

Before the reporting maid could react, Indra was already standing behind her.

Shiroyasha waved her hand to dismiss the maid and explained to Indra with a grin.

"Yo, isn't this Old Indra from next door? Why aren't you going to Hua Du, and have time to stroll around here?"

Hearing this, Indra couldn't help but burst into a rage.

"Stroll around, my foot! You money-grubbing old miser, did you give me that free information on purpose?"

"You mean that one?"

Shiroyasha clapped her hands excitedly, pulled out a blackboard, and said.

"This is the membership system newly launched by our Thousand Eyes; those who purchase information at Thousand Eyes reaching a certain amount will receive a piece of information for free."

Indra's face immediately turned black and purple.

"Is this free? Aren't you just blatantly extorting me?"

"Hmm? Extortion? Extortion is against the law; we at Thousand Eyes are a legitimate intelligence agency."

Shiroyasha said with great righteous indignation.

"Are you going to say whether you want the follow-up intelligence or not?"

Shiroyasha extended her small hand and waved it in front of Indra, signaling him to pay up quickly.

"You guy..."

Indra cursed under his breath, completely devoid of his previous manic energy.

There was no helping it; with such a massive accusation pinned on him, he really didn't dare not to buy the follow-up intelligence.

Not to mention, he couldn't afford to offend Shiroyasha either; putting aside that she was the number one lackey of the Twin Goddesses, she herself was a self-sealed Two-digit.

Just considering her status as the general manager of Thousand Eyes, primarily responsible for high-level important intelligence, he couldn't afford to offend her.

Would the Heavenly Army still want to purchase intelligence from Thousand Eyes in the future?

"Don't want it? Then I'm leaving."

Shiroyasha turned her head and shouted to the maid at the door.

"Zhu Li, close the doors and turn away guests; today's performance target has been met."

"No, no, no, I'll buy it, okay?"

Indra hurriedly called out to stop Shiroyasha; he didn't want to be blasted to death by a Simulated Star Creation Map one day and have the Heavenly Army conclude it was suicide.

"That's more like it."

Shiroyasha changed her expression in a second, revealing a brilliant smile as she spoke.

Indra darkened his face and said in a low voice.

"Regarding that Godslayer World, the intelligence on Verethragna and the Last King of that world—I want to know deeper-level news, a hint will do."

Saying this, Indra stared at Shiroyasha and said coldly.

"Don't you dare say you don't know; you've already extorted me to my face."

Shiroyasha smiled and waved her small hand in front of Indra.

"Five portions of Authority??? Are you robbing me?"

Indra widened his eyes instantly, looking at Shiroyasha in disbelief.

"Robbery? How could robbery be as fast as this for making money?"

Shiroyasha narrowed her eyes and said very happily; in fact, she had just wanted to say five portions of Power, and she could even haggle.

But who told Indra to be so proactive?

Of course, she just intentionally didn't say it.

She had already swindled several old fogies just now; one had to say, the old fogies really have money.

"You person..."

Indra was speechless for a moment, sighed, and then gritted his teeth and said.

"One portion of Authority! No more than that!"

"I want to know who is plotting against me behind my back!"

At the same time, Indra was also somewhat worried; he was afraid that if Shiroyasha thought the price was too low and refused to sell, what would he do?

Shiroyasha was silent for a moment; Indra hesitated and tried to raise the price a little.

"Two portions of Authority, any more and I'll really be broke!"

"Fine, hand over the payment."

Shiroyasha also knew when to stop while ahead; after all, she still had to do business in the future, and such a sucker wasn't easy to encounter.

Indra was silent for a moment, wearing a mask of pain as he said.

"Damn, I got scammed!! Damn it, I knew you old demoness was definitely trying to take advantage of the situation!"

Indra cursed and grumbled, taking out two portions of Authority he had previously scraped together from his own small treasury and handing them to Shiroyasha.

Shiroyasha's face was full of joy as she tossed these two portions of Authority into her pocket, then reached out and grabbed a piece of intelligence that had been written long ago and tossed it to Indra.

Seeing this, Indra's brows twitched fiercely; he took the parchment scroll with an expressionless face and unfolded it to look.

【Requirements for the Last King's successor: Must satisfy the eligibility requirements for the Steel Hero!】

【Verethragna becoming the Last King is merely a possibility in a certain parallel world; the current Last King is Arthur.】

【Twin Goddesses Intelligence Department, Special Investigator Su Nian seal. Avalon, Leader Arthur seal.】

Indra looked at this intelligence, and his mind went blank.

Damn, this thing... is worth two portions of Authority?

It's not worth a fart!!

Indra slammed the scroll onto the ground and said angrily.

"Damn the Central Hub, you're playing me!"

Shiroyasha rolled her eyes and said.

"Forget it, hurry up and get out; don't delay me from doing the next piece of business."

Indra's breath hitched; he walked out of Thousand Eyes looking furious, but upon seeing an acquaintance approaching, his expression changed immediately, pretending he had gained a great harvest.

Damn, he couldn't be the only one to take such a big loss!

Then Indra secretly found a bush and squatted down.

But before he could even get in, a rough voice came over.

"Someone's already here."

"Damn!!"

Indra cursed under his breath and changed to a different bush to crouch in.

"There's someone here too!"

"Damn!!!"

Like this, he finally found a spot beside Heracles.

"Brother, how much did you get scammed out of?"

"Two portions of Authority... how about you?"

"... Two portions of power..."

"Shiroyasha, I'll ***** you!"

Indra cursed very filthily.
