Chapter 292: Did You Finally Remember That You Are Only a Four-digit?
Arcadia's headquarters, Su Nian's room.
An owl flapped its wings, gently pushed the room door open with its feet, and flew inside with a letter in its beak.
At this moment, a jade-white arm stretched out from under the covers, and with the tips of two fingers, pinched the letter and pulled it back.
Before long, a woman's voice rang out.
"It's here, intelligence from within the Cross Religion..."
"Are you awake?"
Su Nian opened his eyes, squinted them, and then looked toward the direction the voice came from.
With golden hair draped over her shoulders and wearing snow-white pajamas that revealed her fragrant shoulders, Athena shifted her body, leaned back against the pillow, and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"Do you want to see it?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nian noticed that Athena was holding a palm-sized brown scroll in her hand.
The scroll was pulled open, and the densely packed runes on it entered Su Nian's sight.
"This is?"
Su Nian asked in confusion.
Athena glanced at Su Nian sideways, and while handing the scroll over, she said.
"A report on the recent movements within the Cross Religion."
As she spoke, she picked up a notebook and a gel pen from the nightstand, writing as she said.
"Isn't this what you asked to see?"
Su Nian suddenly realized; it seemed he had indeed asked Athena about the Son's movements yesterday.
Thinking of this, Su Nian propped himself up with his arms, climbed up, leaned against the headboard, and began to read the scroll.
"You can just scan the front part; there is a summary I wrote at the very end."
Hearing this, Su Nian yawned, scanned the contents of the scroll, and after getting the gist of it, his expression changed slightly, finally settling on the summary Athena had provided.
After finishing it, Su Nian carefully looked for the Son's recent movements and read them, his expression extremely strange.
"Hiss... Tsk..."
Su Nian didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Is the Son crazy? He actually split his own Messiah Spirit Status and reincarnated as a Godslayer?"
Speaking of this, Su Nian paused with a strange expression and continued.
"It's just a Last King Spirit Status, is it worth splitting half of his own Spirit Status? And for this, he didn't hesitate to almost fall from his Two-digit position?"
"Tsk, looks like I accidentally played this too big."
Su Nian really hadn't expected the Son to enter the fray; even if He did enter, at most He would live until the end of the chicken dinner competition, and at worst, he could just let Him have the Last King Spirit Status, right?
Anyway, holding it for a period of time was already enough for him and the Halloween Queen to make a fortune.
Finally, let Canary make an appearance to attract some hatred, and then this matter would be over.
But who the hell could have guessed that the Son would be so ruthless, tearing apart half of His own Spirit Status to reincarnate as the Savior/Messiah, and being the first to enter the fray.
This is like a pig-butchering scam meant to trap Three-digits, but it ended up attracting the richest man in the world.
And He even threw in most of His capital.
"If the Son really knew that the Last King was actually a fiction, what would His reaction be?"
Su Nian curled his lips, revealing a curious expression; truth be told, he was really looking forward to it.
However, it would likely turn into an irreconcilable relationship, right? A completely insane Two-digit? Heaven knows what stupid things the other party would do.
At this time, having heard Su Nian's words, Athena turned her head and looked at Su Nian calmly.
"My Trinity Athena shouldn't be a fiction, right?"
"That's not the case; Yadaina is real, and the Last King was originally real too, it's just that the worldview of that Godslayer World had some problems, so I made it a fiction."
Su Nian put away the scroll, returned it to Athena, and said.
Athena, who took the scroll, couldn't help but tremble, and at the same time, she felt lucky that she had entered Su Nian's inner circle early and become one of his own.
Otherwise, if Su Nian really did this to her, she couldn't imagine how badly she would be scammed.
If the truth or falsehood of a Spirit Status is mastered by an outsider, it goes without saying what would happen.
If the fiction were exposed at the critical moment when she became a Two-digit... just thinking about it made Athena's scalp tingle.
Athena simply couldn't imagine what kind of chaos would be unleashed if this method of fictionalizing Mythology to trigger fake mythological shifts were allowed to run wild.
If one were a bit more lawless and daring, it could even lead to a great melee among all the God Groups, with few surviving in the end.
No, it has already led to it, it's just that it was controlled by Su Nian; a single Last King has already caused such chaos.
"Is that so? No wonder I didn't notice anything unusual."
Athena breathed a sigh of relief, then casually picked up a scroll and handed it to Su Nian.
"This is a list I collected of the recent Heretic Divine Spirits who have manifested, as well as the Authorities they carry. They are all decent Authorities; if there is any Authority you want, you can enter the fray and hunt them down."
Hearing this, Su Nian's mouth twitched; he picked up the scroll and couldn't help but cover his face.
"I shouldn't have the qualifications to participate in this..."
"The minimum requirement to manifest as a Godslayer seems to be Four-digit..."
As he spoke, Su Nian gradually fell silent.
Athena couldn't help but laugh; the goddess's laughter sounded exceptionally charming and moving.
But to Su Nian, it sounded a bit awkward.
"Did you finally remember that you are only a Four-digit?"
Su Nian covered his face in embarrassment, saying with a bitter smile.
"I remembered, it turns out I'm only a Four-digit, and even just at the level of a Four-digit Elite."
Thinking of this, Su Nian felt a bit awkward; having played too many high-end games, he had lost his self-awareness for low-end ones.
After all, his debut battle was against a Three-digit Humanity's Final Trial, Azi Dahaka.
Everyone he had dealt with since then was no lower than Three-digit, or rather, if they weren't top-tier God King of the Three-digit level, he wouldn't even spare them a glance.
He had even killed Mithra with his own hands.
The weakest guys he had fought were the previous War God of Greece, Ares, and Indra's daughter, Asura.
But at the very least, they were still Four-Digit Exceptional existences.
Su Nian said with a wry smile.
"So, are you asking me to go bully children?"
Although, not a single one of the guys participating was younger than Su Nian.
Athena just chuckled at this.
"No, it's to go restock some Authorities you want."
"And incidentally, to raise your Spirit Status."
Four-digit Elite and such, no matter how you put it, were still a bit low, even if they might not necessarily be Su Nian's match in Little Garden.
And if she wasn't mistaken, Su Nian's mastery of the Space Authority had already reached the level of an Authority.
It was only one step away from becoming a true Authority, which was part of the reason she suggested Su Nian go participate.
Moreover, making a name for himself in the God Slayer War would also be beneficial for him to accumulate Merit and raise his Spirit Status.
"Take a close look at which Authorities you have your eye on, so I can track their movements and create opportunities for you to hunt them."
"Let me see..."
Su Nian began to read carefully; the list of Divine Spirits who had signed the Treaty of Non-Gods was very long, but Su Nian didn't even glance at the ones at the beginning.
The Authorities on those Divine Spirits were too poor, not even as good as the ones he and Shiroyasha had swindled from others.
"Amon-Ra's Authority of Sun, Garo's Authority of Time, and Itzamna's Authority of Calendar—I quite want all of them."
At this, Athena paused for a moment, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said while continuing to write in her notebook.
"None of them are easy targets; they are all at least top-tier God King. Do you need me to help you find a helper?"
Su Nian shook his head and refused.
"No need. Besides, if I can't beat them, can't I at least outrun them? Their Authorities are barely worth looking at."
He reckoned they could help him perfect his own 【Creation】 Authority; he had already digested the Creation Principle he had swindled from the Halloween Queen earlier.
It was a pity that the 【Creation】 Authority was still less than fifty percent complete, and it was still quite a distance from becoming a true Authority and creating a real world.
Su Nian could currently create secret realms, planes, and world bubbles, and although they could exist for a long time.
The only shortcoming was that creating a world was merely creating an extremely empty world.
What needed to be perfected later were the various parts that supported the world's operation and the birth of life.
But these Authorities were rare and top-tier in any God Group, and condensing and weaving them himself was a waste of time, and asking the Little Garden Central for a wish... was a waste of Merit.
"Besides, in a sense, your power is also very strained, isn't it, Athena?"
Speaking of this, Su Nian couldn't help but sigh and couldn't resist glancing at Athena.
Athena's writing motion paused, as if she had been hit on the mark by Su Nian.
"It's not that strained, it's just that there are few people worth trusting."
Isn't that even more mentally exhausting? Even her own subordinates are playing power games; no wonder she's so wild... Su Nian thought to himself while curiously asking.
"By the way, what are you calculating in your notebook?"
Su Nian curiously leaned his head over.
Athena just glanced at Su Nian, silently reached out to hold Su Nian back, and frowned.
"I'm not used to sharing with others."
She said, then paused and added.
"And I don't think our relationship is deep enough to share secrets without reservation."
"How can it not be? I even shared the secrets of the Godslayer World with you."
Su Nian shamelessly pushed away Athena's hand, skillfully grabbed her hand, pressed his head onto her shoulder, and looked at the notebook in her hand.
"Besides, the situation in Little Garden is complex, and the intelligence I possess might not even be as much as yours."
"Come on, let's refer to it together."
Athena panicked for a moment and wanted to push Su Nian away, but her arms had already been controlled by Su Nian.
She could only let Su Nian look over.
