Chapter 299: Dirty, it's just too dirty

"I never expected that my good-for-nothing disciple would actually dare to appear before me."

Orpheus clapped his hands, speaking in a tone that seemed quite delighted.

Canary, having slipped out of his control, had brought him quite a bit of amusement after such a long time.

"What a mean-spirited teacher. Can't we just enjoy the atmosphere of master and disciple after finally reuniting?"

Canary puffed out her cheeks in anger, expressing her dissatisfaction just like a child.

Seriously, since Arcadia was something we built together, couldn't you show some mercy toward it?

You actually took action yourself; just how cautious are you, really?

At this moment, Orpheus slapped his hand down onto the Magical Book, shattering Canary's phantom, and curled his lip.

"A fake."

He had never revealed that Orpheus was his name during his time as a human; there were only a few beings in Little Garden who might know this secret.

As for banishing Arcadia? It was indeed his doing, but this was absolutely not information that Canary could have identified or known.

Although he was still very young among the Two-digit beings, he had spent enough time struggling and climbing his way up in Little Garden.

Under the information blockade of the Two-digit beings, unless it was those old things capable of shielding themselves from Two-digit perception, speaking a name with directional intent would be sensed.

Yes, that's right; as long as one spoke the name Orpheus, or even thought about it in their heart, as long as there was a trace of malice, he would perceive it.

Heitian was his honorific name, and Orpheus was his real name; he had once used the name Orpheus to trick quite a few people.

It was unlikely that Canary could have avoided the name Orpheus, not to mention that after the destruction of Arcadia, if Canary had learned the truth, she would definitely have held significant hatred toward him.

Yet he had never perceived Canary speaking his name; even when Canary had just spoken his name, he had no reaction at all.

Su Nian had never imagined that the reason for his exposure was actually that his disguise and shielding were too good?

One can only say that Heitian is worthy of being an old schemer who mixed his way up to the Two-digit level; this verification method is definitely not something an ordinary person could guess.

"Whose handiwork is this old friend's, I wonder?"

Orpheus flipped through the copy of the Unofficial History of the Ages, which had the poetry collection of Canary as its base, and then tossed it back to Caili Ling, who was standing to the side.

Caili Ling also let out a sigh of relief, transformed it back into its original Magical Book appearance, and hung it at her waist.

Fortunately, ever since Orpheus joined, she had not used any methods related to the Fictional Historian, relying instead on Poet methods.

And the copy of the Unofficial History of the Ages had long ago been fictionalized into Canary's poetry collection, and because the true 【Unofficial History of the Ages】 had sublimated into a 【Mythological Apocrypha】—

—the disguise ability of this book had reached a higher level, so for Orpheus, who could only use Four-digit strength, it was not certain he could recognize it.

Su Nian had experimented on Shiroyasha; being sealed indeed lowers one's observational abilities.

And for Fiction, the last thing one needs to worry about is disguise ability.

The only drawback is that while the Fictional Historian's ability is very strong, for now, it can only be assumed through the method of changing jobs from a Poet.

Moreover, it is impossible to obtain any Merit related to the Fictional Historian; after all, in Little Garden, Fictional Historians do not "truly exist" and have never appeared, so how could there be any Merit?

And Caili Ling can currently only be considered a Poet; without a copy, she cannot yet be called a Fictional Historian.

Arcadia Headquarters.

"Tsk, as expected, they are all peerless old schemers."

Su Nian clicked his tongue in annoyance. From the moment the contingency plan he left with Caili Ling was triggered, he knew that the fictional Canary he had created could no longer be hidden from Heitian.

On the other side, the fictional Canary sat beside Su Nian looking very innocent; what else could she do?

Facing an old schemer like Heitian among the Two-digit beings, no matter how much preparation she made, there was no way out.

Even the genuine Canary couldn't outplay Heitian, let alone a pirated version like her.

"However, are Heitian and the others playing for real? Do they really intend to let Kalki intercept and kill the Saint Son?"

A smile curled at the corner of Su Nian's mouth, as if he were talking to himself.

"If I'm not willing to go up, do they intend to let Kalki go up instead?"

"No, no, no, it probably isn't to let Kalki hunt the Saint Son, but rather to give the Saint Son an opportunity to hunt Kalki."

Soon, Su Nian realized that this was the God Slayer War.

But Kalki had not joined the God Slayer War at all, which meant that whether Kalki killed the Saint Son or the Saint Son killed Kalki, there was no benefit to be gained.

This was clearly just to cause trouble for the Saint Son.

You want to become the Last King, and you are the first to appear? Then I will intentionally go against your wishes and make things difficult for you.

Because when a Godslayer enters the fray, they can only maintain a Spirit Status and physique at the Five-digit limit and cannot carry any Authorities.

Only after killing a Heretic God head-on can they possess Authorities and promote to Five-Digit Exceptional.

They will not become Four-digit, because the Dark Christmas season requires defeating the strong with the weak to plunder Authorities.

And most Heretic Gods are Four-digit; as long as one promotes to Four-digit, they would lose many Authorities.

Conversely, being stuck at Five-Digit Exceptional is a comfort zone.

And under the condition of both being Five-Digit Exceptional, the strength gap is simple: it depends on the understanding of Authorities and the number of Authorities.

The earlier one enters the fray, the more Authorities one accumulates, the stronger one becomes, and the easier it is to snowball.

With the Saint Son's methods, if not stopped, the Saint Son might end up becoming the strongest Godslayer.

A Two-digit being's understanding of Authorities, combined with an absolute numerical advantage in Authorities, creates an unbeatable monster.

But if you can't deal with him within the rules, can't you just deal with him outside the rules?

Perhaps fellow Godslayers and Heretic Gods are no match for you, but what about those who are not participants in the God Slayer War?

Take Kalki, for example: Four-digit Elite level, possessing a Simulated Star Creation Map; although it's not certain he is a match for the Saint Son—

—he is absolutely capable of disgusting the Saint Son and causing him trouble.

And because of Kalki's special status, the Saint Son absolutely cannot deal a lethal blow to Kalki.

"Dirty, it's just too dirty."

Su Nian couldn't help but sigh with emotion; heaven knows how disgusted the Savior will be after this operation of theirs.

"Sure enough, when it comes to dragging people down, I still need to practice."

"Since that's the case, I want to join in on the fun too."

Su Nian narrowed his eyes; how could he be missing from such an interesting matter?

Besides, he hadn't even settled the score yet for that Savior trying to get Mithra to destroy Arcadia.

"No, no, how could I be the only one joining in on such an interesting matter?"

Su Nian revealed a brilliant smile, pulled open the room door, and walked straight toward the room where Shiroyasha was staying.

Whoosh!

Su Nian pulled open Shiroyasha's door without any hesitation.

What greeted him was Shiroyasha, who was wearing children's underwear and in the middle of changing clothes.

"Sorry, excuse me!"

Su Nian slammed the door shut, then seemed to have remembered something.

He pulled it open again, then gave Shiroyasha a thumbs-up.

"Boss, you have good taste."

Before he could even manage to close the door, a pillow was thrown at him by Shiroyasha.

"Shut up!!"

Shiroyasha said, embarrassed and angry.

For some time recently, Shiroyasha had been living in Arcadia, not far from Su Nian's room.

Sometimes, Su Nian could even see Shiroyasha walking out of Black Rabbit's room, or being kicked out by Algol, and so on...

It was just rare to see her wake up this late, like today.

Shiroyasha's daily routine was still very healthy.

"Speak, what is it?"

Shiroyasha glared at Su Nian; she hadn't slept well last night to begin with, and now, upon waking up, she had been seen by Su Nian... no, she had been mocked.

What was wrong with children's underwear? Her current figure couldn't support those sexy undergarments.

Believe it or not, when she retrieved her Divinity, she would let Su Nian see what her taste was really like?

No, that would be letting this brat off too easily?

Looking at Shiroyasha's expression that said "if you don't satisfy me, I'll make you pay," Su Nian smiled awkwardly.

Then, he walked in with great thick-skinned persistence and sat on Shiroyasha's bed.

"Boss, any interest in buying some intelligence?"

"What intelligence?"

Shiroyasha revealed a curious expression, and what kind of intelligence could it be that was worth Su Nian coming to find her?

Her intuition told her that this was another substantial intelligence fee she could earn.

"Intelligence that Kalki has been arranged to intercept and kill the Savior."

Su Nian picked up the cup on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip before saying.

Upon hearing this, Shiroyasha was instantly pleasantly surprised; she naturally knew about the Savior's affairs, and although enough compensation had been given, it was a fact that he had displeased quite a few people.

It was just that very few people could withstand the Savior's retaliation, and not many dared to surround and kill him or block the Savior's path.

Even Three-digit beings might not dare to do this; this was truly offending the Savior.

But if it were someone else, that might be a different story.

For example, Kalki, who possessed the essence of a Two-digit being and was also a Savior; although it was true that Kalki was quite miserable and was someone else's pawn.

But one had to look at whose pawn it was; behind Kalki were the four Universal Truths of the Sun King Group.

One must consider the owner before beating a dog; would the Savior dare to make a move against Kalki, who was protected by the four Universal Truths?

With Kalki in front bearing the pressure, it would be very easy for others to secretly strike and shift the blame.

"Good fellow, this makes me feel a little sorry for the Savior."

Shiroyasha couldn't help but say with a laugh.

"So, I've decided to give this intelligence a discount, let's settle on a 9.9 percent discount."

Upon hearing this, the corner of Su Nian's mouth twitched; what difference did this make from not giving a discount at all?
