Chapter 295: As Long As You Agree, the Position of the Last King Can Be Yours Too

"Besides, are you all here to welcome Jialing, or are you here to welcome me?"

Su Nian shifted his body to make himself sit more comfortably in the seat of the Lord of the Heavenly Army.

He was just short of propping his feet up on the table, the way Indra used to do.

Facing Su Nian, who wore a half-smile, Indra scratched his face in some embarrassment and spoke with a lack of confidence.

"Probably both?"

"What do you mean by both?"

Su Nian glanced over, confirming that Jialing had not heard his exchange with Indra and was currently chatting with Iron Fan Princess about trivial daily matters.

It seemed that Indra and the others were likely playing for real this time, not joking.

"Forget it, let me say it."

Mata, who was on the side, noticed Indra's embarrassment and explained with a light chuckle.

"Indra has been impeached for dereliction of duty."

"Huh? Dereliction of duty?"

No, are you all serious? You weren't derelict in your duty when you couldn't beat the Absolute Evil, and it didn't count as dereliction of duty when Arcadia was destroyed by an unknown Demon King.

How is it that you are suddenly derelict in your duty now, for no reason?

"What? You look like you can't believe it?"

Seeing Su Nian's stunned face, Mata chuckled and said nonchalantly.

"Because the Heavenly Army failed to destroy that world called the Godslayer in time, triggering a massive shift in Mythology."

As the only violent law enforcement agency designated by the Little Garden Central Hub, the Heavenly Army has many duties, including but not limited to cleaning up Demon Kings in the upper and lower levels, maintaining order in Little Garden, and mediating conflicts between different God Groups...

Destroying new worlds that have a huge impact on Pan-Human History, as well as worlds that might cause chaos in Little Garden, and dealing with foreign God Groups from the Outer Universe...

It's basically like a UN peacekeeping force with nuclear weapons.

"So, I was inexplicably nominated as a candidate??"

Upon hearing this, Su Nian pointed at himself and said in confusion; he wondered, he shouldn't have any major Merit in Little Garden, right?

"That's right."

At this moment, Indra revealed a brilliant smile; he patted Su Nian on the shoulder and said in a good mood.

"It was Laozi and Yang Jian who nominated you together. Are you excited? Are you thrilled?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nian's expression gradually began to twist.

No? He was just eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping in Arcadia, so how did such a big mess get dumped on him?

He almost thought that the things he was doing secretly outside had been discovered.

"Excited my ass!"

Su Nian couldn't help but curse out loud; damn it, such a huge pit as the Heavenly Army was dumped directly on him.

Who would be willing to accept such a mess as the Heavenly Army?

Even if it were Indra, he could probably only command the Twelve Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Army.

As for the other departments, let alone commanding them, it would be good enough if they let him through the door.

It's like you wouldn't really think that the UN Secretary-General is a good position when the major rogue states are causing trouble, right?

Especially now, during the period when the God Slayer War is being held in the lower levels, various God Groups are turning into Heretic gods or Godslayers.

You dare to try and mediate as the Heavenly Army? It would be good enough if you didn't get beaten to death.

"Indra, you bastard, you really are unscrupulous just to run away, aren't you?"

Su Nian grabbed Indra by the collar and shook him vigorously; damn it, isn't this setting him up?

Can't he just let him hide out in Arcadia properly?

"That brat, have the guts to return my Vajra?"

"That's something I snatched back with my own ability, why should I return it? I haven't even settled the score for you Asura bastards setting me up!"

"Fine, fine, fine, then tell me what you've trained my daughter into? Are you even human?"

"At worst, I'll just compensate you with Black Rabbit!"

Su Nian's movements paused, and he stared at Indra with a look of disdain.

"You can really bring yourself to let Black Rabbit sacrifice herself to protect you?"

"It sounds like you wouldn't let Black Rabbit go; aren't I just fulfilling your wishes?"

Indra said with a thick skin, as if you were any better.

But at least I didn't lay a hand on Black Rabbit; otherwise, knowing Black Rabbit's personality, believe it or not, I could trick her into bearing me ten children!

Indra and Su Nian just stared at each other like children having a conflict, neither willing to take a step back.

Finally, Indra couldn't withstand Su Nian's gaze and chose to take a step back, saying.

"How about we add Uesugi and Mata to the mix?"

"Hmm?"

Su Nian's mouth twitched twice, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Mata and Uesugi Kenshin, who were frowning on the side, their expressions already on the verge of breaking.

Then, without the slightest bit of integrity, Su Nian threw Indra directly to these two goddesses.

Let them teach Indra a lesson so he knows that goddesses are not so easy to offend.

Finally, Su Nian turned his gaze to Brahma, who was working and organizing intelligence on the side.

The man, wearing white robes, a headscarf wrapped around his head, and a cinnabar mark on his forehead, was buried in his official duties, seemingly noticing Su Nian's gaze.

He put down the pen in his hand and looked at Su Nian.

"I know you have many questions, go ahead and ask."

Upon hearing this, Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally encountered someone reliable. He hoped Brahma could tell him in detail exactly what was going on.

"Is this your intention, or is it the intention of Buddhism?"

In fact, the current Heavenly Army can be completely described as the private soldiers of Indra, or as the private soldiers of Buddhism.

One thing that is well known is that Indra joined Buddhism long ago, and joining Buddhism inevitably means being constrained by the various messy factions within it.

After the Chinese God Group left, the factions with the greatest power and the most complex internal divisions in Little Garden were the Cross Religion and Buddhism.

But at least the Cross Religion still has a common faith; although there are internal conflicts, they have not reached the level of Buddhism.

As for Buddhism, there is the direct lineage of the Buddha centered on the Eight Legions of Heaven, the Heavenly Army centered on Indra, the Ksitigarbha Lineage, and the Artificial Buddha Lineage, not to mention those Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

Even for Indra, it is very difficult to say that he can gain benefits and gain a firm foothold within Buddhism.

As for the reason.

Su Nian is also very clear; it is nothing more than coveting the foundation left behind by the Chinese God Group that he inherited.

But what he is even clearer about is that it is not as if the Great Heavenly Venerable did not leave the former foundation to them; the prosperity of Buddhism after the Journey to the West is proof of this.

It is just that they are truly useless; they only care about stuffing their own pockets and do not do a single thing for the people.

In the end, it got to the point where the Dao Ancestor and Wa Huang could not stand it anymore and drove them away.

And having once eaten well, eating anything else now is naturally insipid; they all miss the days of clinging to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to suck its blood and lying down to consume Merit.

"It is both."

Brahma said indifferently.

As for the little matters within Buddhism, they believe that anyone who can be affirmed by those few must have a way to deal with them.

Especially in Brahma's view, the current Su Nian is even more shrewd than Canary was back then, and his intuition tells him that every single thing happening in Little Garden right now is absolutely related to Su Nian.

Mere useless people of Buddhism, that group of fake Buddhas and real demons still want to outplay Su Nian? Let them wait until they figure out how Mithra died first.

The reason Indra was impeached was not because of any dereliction of duty or the like, but because his injuries had improved and he was preparing to do some real work.

And then he was impeached.

However, looking at the root cause, the reason Indra was impeached was still because Indra's heart was too soft; once he carried too much, he could not let it go.

If Indra could be ruthless, the current difficulties of the Heavenly Army would just be what they are.

But if he could be ruthless, he would not call himself a useless god.

Well, Indra deserves to sit at the same table as Shiroyasha now.

"And I think you should know the significance represented by the Spirit Status of the Lord of the Heavenly Army, right?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Army is, in the literal sense, the master of the Heavenly Army; the so-called Heavenly Army is nothing more than the private soldiers of the Lord of the Heavenly Army.

In other words, this position of Lord of the Heavenly Army can be completely equated to the position of Heavenly Emperor.

With the foundation of the Chinese God Group that Su Nian is about to inherit, Su Nian could completely build a Heavenly Court that belongs solely to him.

If Su Nian succeeds as the Lord of the Heavenly Army, the restrictions on the Heavenly Army will not be much more than when Indra was in office.

Just as the current Spirit Status of the Twelve Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Army all come from Indra's support, when it comes to Su Nian, their Spirit Status can all rely on the foundation of the Chinese God Group.

In this way, Su Nian could digest the legacy at an extremely fast speed, sit firmly in the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Army in one fell swoop, and become an existence standing at the pinnacle of Little Garden.

Moreover, Su Nian does not have the Indian Pantheon as a drag; in fact, they could even become Su Nian's help.

This is an open conspiracy!

This is naked bribery.

Facing this kind of bribery, Su Nian really cannot quite hold himself back.

However, he still has to endure for a moment; the more free the big meal is, the bigger the pit it represents.

"I think this matter can still be considered..."

Before Su Nian finished speaking, Brahma said faintly.

"As long as you agree, the position of the Last King will also be yours."

Then Su Nian sobered up; he looked at Brahma with dark eyes, and asked with a trace of resentment and speechlessness.

"Tell me, the other candidate wouldn't happen to be King Arthur, would it?"

Brahma nodded slightly and said.

"Yes, this was nominated by the Queen."

Su Nian's mouth twitched; the actions of the Queen and Indra left him completely speechless.

And is there a possibility that the position of the Last King has been his from the very beginning?

Alright, he admits that this time, he is truly a bit tempted.

After all, if operated properly—or even without needing to operate—this can completely be called food already fed into his mouth.

He only needs to open his mouth, and the Two-digit position will be beckoning to him.

"Although I am very tempted, what I like most is saying 'no' to people who think they are clever."

"Sorry, I refuse."

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

Getting a Two-digit position for free—he does not even dare to imagine how big the pit inside this is.
