Chapter 297: As everyone knows, Su Nian and Arthur have never appeared together

"Besides, Old Indra, you aren't being very authentic here."

"I do the work, I shoulder the pressure, I provide the funding, yet the one whose dream gets fulfilled is you, Indra? You deserve to be impeached."

Facing Su Nian's sarcasm, Indra did not deny it; after all, the facts were exactly as stated.

For Su Nian, he could perfectly well just lie back and be a wealthy landlord; as things stood for him currently, he was living quite comfortably.

The entirety of Little Garden had fallen into the vortex of the God Slayer War, yet Arcadia was living its own little life in a leisurely, carefree manner.

Moreover, as the only Boundary master in the lower levels who could rival the Halloween Queen, there was no telling how many God Groups would have requests for Su Nian; at a time like this, Su Nian could absolutely open his mouth wide and demand a high price.

Looking at the Heavenly Army now, to be honest, it had already rotted to a certain degree.

Even if Su Nian brought his own capital to the group and successfully took the top spot.

The Twelve Heavenly Generals might still give Su Nian some face and listen to his orders or the like.

But the subordinate forces? They only had their eyes on the funds Su Nian brought in; at most, they would say a few nice words when asking for money and put on a show.

As for actually getting things done? Didn't you see that Indra got impeached just for doing some actual work?

Unless one could truly become a Two-digit, even Indra could only do his best to help Su Nian fulfill his promises.

How many people now had the ability to say they could take down a Son of God who had undergone Descent to Human? This was, after all, the reincarnation of a Two-digit.

Thinking of this, Indra could not help but feel somewhat helpless.

"If you don't want to, then you don't want to. Can I really force you? At least I, Laozi, can still sit firmly in this position for now."

It sounds like you aren't begging me.

Su Nian subconsciously retorted in his heart; with Indra's current attitude, he was practically hugging his thigh and kneeling down to beg him.

"Then you can just sit there for another five or six years; who knows, maybe by then Kalki will be a Three-digit and can take over for you."

Su Nian replied with a smile; this Heavenly Army was such a pit that he really didn't want to take over the top position.

As the Tenth Avatar of Vishnu, the future Savior who held the Simulated Star Creation Chart: Avatar, as long as he collected the Sun Authority, he could complete his Spirit Status and grow rapidly.

Furthermore, considering the origin of the Spirit Status between Kalki and Indra, given that the source of the Indian Pantheon's Spirit Status all came from Indra, if one were to really discuss their relationship.

Kalki would still have to call Indra 'Dad'.

"Forget it, why don't you talk about letting Yang Jian take the top spot?"

Indra could not help but roll his eyes; did he really think he didn't know what a huge pit Kalki was?

Those few were important chess pieces used to complete the Spirit Status of the 【Preserver God Vishnu】; it would be strange if they let go.

As for Yang Jian, did he really think he hadn't knelt down to beg Yang Jian? Yang Jian had practically used his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear to chase him away.

He was already unwilling and reluctant to be forced to be sent to Little Garden, and now, to add more burdens?

He was in a hurry to retire and enjoy his old age.

"That's not impossible..."

Su Nian rubbed his chin and fell into thought; perhaps tricking Yang Jian into taking the spot was also a good idea.

The Judicial Heavenly God was at least much better than a useless god like Indra sitting in this position.

"If you can really get that kid Yang Jian to take the spot, I, Indra, will take your surname."

After Indra threw out this harsh statement, he did not continue to say anything else.

At this moment, the Heavenly Army conference room also fell into silence.

After all, Su Nian was truly unwilling; what else could they do? They couldn't really tie Su Nian up and force him, could they? They didn't have the confidence to kidnap Su Nian.

After a long while, Indra sighed and said gloomily.

"Since you are unwilling, it seems I can only let Arthur take the position."

"I heard that kid Arthur has a Star Holy Sword no weaker than the Vajra, which can erupt with Three-digit Exceptional strength in extreme situations."

"It seems he is also a good successor."

As he spoke, Indra cast his gaze onto Su Nian, carefully observing Su Nian's reaction.

But seeing Su Nian's expression, which showed no movement and even a hint of agreement.

Indra felt somewhat bewildered.

Could it be that this kid really had no desire at all to take over the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army?

As for Arthur, he was just saying that.

After all, the one standing behind that person was that Queen; if that Queen were really allowed to control the Heavenly Army? That would be a truly big deal.

At the same time, Indra also put away a doubt, which was the doubt that Su Nian might be the same person as Arthur.

After all, the timing of Su Nian and Arthur's appearances was just too coincidental, with less than a day between them.

The Queen had released news that she had found her ideal King Arthur candidate, and then there was no more news.

Or rather, there was only some movement; they had never seen King Arthur appear.

Even after becoming the Last King, Arthur had never appeared in Little Garden, as if he had been deliberately hidden away.

But the acting leader of Avalon, that little girl named Artoria, and those Gifts called Noble Phantasms could not be fake.

And a very coincidental thing was that Su Nian had once traded with Heracles for a Noble Phantasm called Twelve Labors.

Was it hard to say that this was another one of the Queen's sudden whims? Or was it talent competition targeting Shiroyasha? An Agent War.

It is well known that the relationship between the Halloween Queen and the Baiye King is not good, and they often clash and cause conflicts at the drop of a hat.

And since Shiroyasha suddenly had good luck and picked up such an excellent Retainer as Su Nian, it was normal for the Halloween Queen to be jealous and stir up trouble.

After all, that Queen was an existence who mastered the truth of 【Summoning】; whether it was the past, the future, the virtual, or the non-existent, as long as that Queen wanted to.

She could summon them.

The original King Arthur and Kasukabe Takaaki were both summoned by the Halloween Queen.

Summoning another King Arthur was not impossible.

After all, one didn't even need to think to know how the Halloween Queen could possibly choose to cultivate a talent together with Shiroyasha?

If it were the Halloween Queen, she would only try to poach Shiroyasha's Retainers, though she never succeeded.

After all, that Queen had been spreading word that she wanted to recruit Su Nian for the position of Merlin for quite some time now.

Isn't that just pointing out that she wants to target Shiroyasha? Look at the Retainers you worked so hard to cultivate; in the end, they became the assistants to my Knight.

Heaven knows how angry Shiroyasha will be when the time comes.

Su Nian smiled as he looked at Indra, sneering in his heart.

Tsk, you want to bluff me with just this?

It was fortunate that Su Nian had prepared himself the moment he heard the second candidate was Arthur.

Otherwise, it would be bad if he accidentally gave the game away.

Looking at the silent Indra, Su Nian couldn't help but smile and say.

"What? Aren't you going to let Arthur become the Lord of the Heavenly Army? Don't worry, I absolutely raise both hands in favor."

"Get lost, get lost, get lost."

Hearing Su Nian's words, Indra couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su Nian and curse.

"Do you really think I don't know about the ambiguous relationship between you and the Queen?"

"Since you have no intention of becoming the next Lord of the Heavenly Army, then get lost quickly; the Heavenly Army does not welcome you!"

Indra waved his hand with quite a bit of disdain, and with a tacit understanding, he did not discuss the matter regarding the Vajra.

Although this item was in Su Nian's hands, it had been given to Su Nian as compensation because he was in the right.

But Su Nian's wife, Jialing, still worked for the Heavenly Army, so it would still be very convenient to borrow it when needed.

"I'll get lost then. Do you really think I want to sit in this position? This seat is rock hard and not comfortable at all. I really don't know how you've sat in it for so long."

Su Nian complained. What era is this? Why are the seats in the Heavenly Army's conference room still made of jade? Although they look majestic and imposing when sitting on them.

They just aren't very friendly to one's backside.

"Just let him leave like that?"

Mata looked at the empty main seat of the council and said with some worry.

Although she was quite unhappy that Indra had betrayed them, one had to admit that Su Nian was indeed one of the few visible hopes for the Heavenly Army.

Capable, confident, and young—if the Heavenly Army were handed over to Su Nian, he could really come up with new tricks and head toward a brand-new future.

Instead of just continuing to rot like this.

"Otherwise what?"

Indra rolled his eyes and retorted.

"This kid's grasp of the situation in Little Garden is much clearer than mine. The fact that Little Garden can remain stable now and keep the competition for the 【Last King】 controlled to the scale of the God Slayer War..."

"Heaven knows how much effort this kid put into it and how many connections he pulled."

"I really don't know where Canary picked up such a monster."

"So it was Su Nian's doing?"

Mata's eyes shimmered. She hadn't thought of this point either. She had been wondering why Indra and Yang Jian would nominate Su Nian for the position even though they knew there was a trap.

For those without ability, this is a bottomless abyss.

For those with ability, they will only use this favorable wind to soar into the sky.

The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish, and the more one earns.

Of course, the worse one dies, too.

"Next, let's see how long I can drag this out."

Indra stretched and leaned back in his chair, twisting a couple of times.

"That kid was right; this seat really is rock hard and not comfortable at all."

"Prepare to replace the chairs here with sofas next time. The Heavenly Army needs to keep up with the times, too."

"Fine, the budget will be deducted from Indra's salary."

Brahma didn't even lift his head as he responded to Indra.

Do you really think the Heavenly Army's finances are that healthy? Supporting such a large group of dead weight—even the Heavenly Army can't necessarily afford it.

The Heavenly Army has no surplus grain either.

"Deduct it, deduct whatever you want. If you can actually deduct it, I'll let you win."

Indra picked his nose, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

He didn't even know how many tens of thousands of years into the future his salary was already committed to paying fines.

After all, the Heavenly Army also has legislation regarding certain simple moral concepts.

For example, the crime of adultery, and it is a well-known fact that Indra and Cao Aman share the same hobby.

That is, Indra is extremely fond of married women, and he hasn't been caught just once or twice.

It could be said that Indra spends eight out of ten days in the Heavenly Army's prison, and the remaining two days in someone else's wife's bed.

"Alright then, I'll put it on Sachi's account."

Brahma said without lifting his head.

"Brahma, you bastard..."
