Chapter 305: It Was All the Doing of Those Monks

City of the End, Arcadia headquarters.

Having returned to the City of the End and back to Arcadia, Su Nian finally set his mind at ease.

He could finally relax and rest for a while.

After all, the stunt Su Nian pulled was truly too massive; even Shiroyasha could not avoid returning to Thousand Eyes to estimate the impact of the affair.

She had to adjust the management strategy of Thousand Eyes and maneuver among various parties.

Su Nian, on the other hand, was unexpectedly at leisure, finally able to catch his breath.

Since returning from the Godslayer World, it had been the busiest period of his time in Little Garden, with the most things to do.

There was no helping it; the thunder Su Nian stirred up in the Godslayer World was too great—so great that if he did not start running and find a way, the entire Little Garden would be blown to bits.

Looking up at the familiar ceiling, Su Nian sighed and said.

"The God Slayer War, that matter... it can be considered to have made a start. Next, I must find a way as quickly as possible to trick the Holy Son into summoning the Last King."

Although the God Slayer War was instigated by Su Nian and planned by him single-handedly, the ones doing the work were not him, but Heitian and that group of old fogies waiting for promotion.

Who knows if they might add some private agendas into it?

As for whether there are no backdoors? You guess whether he believes that.

How could he possibly let these hidden moves take effect and let them proceed with their preparations slowly?

Flip the table, re-establish the rules, and act before the backdoors prepared by those Gods and Buddhas are activated—this was Su Nian's plan.

After all, once the intensity of the God Slayer War rises, it would no longer be something he could control.

And in the early stages of the God Slayer War, the best target is the Holy Son; no one will allow the Holy Son to start snowballing.

There are only so many Two-digit positions; how could they allow the Holy Son to occupy two positions all by himself?

Does he have such a big backside?

As for why they agreed, after all, the Holy Son paid.

But taking money does not mean they will allow the Holy Son to point directly at the throne of the Last King, ending this war before it has even begun.

And now, Su Nian is the best banner to interfere with the Holy Son.

"Tsk, this really is unpleasant."

Su Nian clicked his tongue and said with some displeasure.

"Although I said I was willing to enter the game, I am not happy about being used by others as a spear to stab at the Holy Son of the Cross Religion."

"Damn Buddhism, can't you guys just let me develop in peace?"

If it weren't for Buddhism setting their sights on him and forcibly trying to drag him into the game, he should still be in Arcadia right now, watching the surging winds and clouds of the God Slayer War.

Being a bystander together with Shiroyasha.

The feeling of being forced into a position is truly hard to bear.

"You're actually fine? You came back safely."

"It seems that guy Jesus is truly dead."

"Heh, in a sense, you actually guessed the truth."

Algol said with a hint of nostalgia, though she had broken free.

But this does not mean the Demon Star is useless; Su Nian can still summon Algol through the Demon Star, connect with Algol, and borrow her power.

In fact, during the confrontation between Su Nian and Messiah just now, Algol was also one of the spectators, just not present in person.

"It's a pity; who could have imagined that of the current Cross Religion, only Maria remains as a founder?"

Algol said with quite a lot of emotion.

"Back then, it was that guy Jesus who pulled us together to establish the Cross Religion; what a pity."

The initial small group of the Cross Religion consisted only of Yahweh, Jesus—who was Yahweh's crazy die-hard fan and a Poet—and Algol, who was invited to serve as the Mother of God.

And then there was Maria, a certain perverted lolicon; to be precise, Maria had gone beyond the level of just being a pervert.

Her favorite thing was to turn others into lolis and then obsess over them.

In the end, she was hated by everyone, kicked out of her own God Group, and drifted to the newly founded Cross Religion.

Algol had once been harassed by her for a very long time.

It is just a pity that as the God Group gradually grew, the Cross Religion was no longer the simple little group it once was; in the end, when competing for the position of Mother of God of the Cross Religion.

Algol was kicked out of the game and only managed to obtain the Spirit Status of the Original Demon Lilith.

At the very least, whatever else could be said about Maria, although she was a bit of a pervert, her maternal nature was absolutely beyond reproach; she was indeed more suitable for the position of Mother of God than Algol.

Conversely, Algol's demonic nature was too thick; when she served as the Mother of God, she didn't know how many people who joined were corrupted into Devils.

In the end, she was forced to give up the position of Mother of God.

However, she did find her own path through the Spirit Status of the Original Demon Lilith.

Finally, because she caused too much trouble and was kicked out of the game after a crushing defeat, she lost the identity of a founder of the Cross Religion.

Of the original Cross Religion, only Maria remained, struggling to hold on; even Algol did not know what to say.

"Forget it, enough talk."

Algol suddenly changed the subject.

"Tell me, are you really not planning to scam Buddhism out of a fortune?"

After all, she was the one who was beaten to a pulp by Shakyamuni; she was also quite unhappy with Buddhism, and she would naturally be very happy to do anything that could cause trouble for Buddhism.

Su Nian had naturally thought about Algol's suggestion—accepting investment from Buddhism and then backstabbing them later.

But Su Nian eventually abandoned this idea.

"That affects my reputation too much."

Su Nian shook his head and said; he was still clear about the importance of reputation.

In the long time to come, one must always leave a bottom line for oneself; it is better to fulfill the contracts one has agreed to.

"However, it wouldn't be impossible to scam Buddhism out of a fortune."

Speaking of this, a strange smile appeared on Su Nian's face.

As long as there was no cooperation, no promises made, and they weren't allies, Su Nian naturally felt no psychological pressure to scam them.

"Tell me more."

Algol became excited in an instant.

If she could scam that bunch in Buddhism, she would naturally be extremely happy to do so.

If she could kick them while they were down, that would be even better.

"What would happen if we framed Buddhism for the killing of Messiah?"

Instantly, Algol's breathing grew heavy; Su Nian could clearly hear her excitement from the sound of her breath.

"But Little Algol, how is your knowledge of Buddhist teachings?"

However, framing Buddhism does have a certain level of difficulty; one must know that Gods and Buddhas are not part of the same system.

Divine Spirits follow the path of faith and authority, while Buddhas follow the path of the mind and transcendence.

It is truly not easy for an ordinary person to disguise themselves as a monk in Little Garden, as the power of those monks is quite easy to distinguish.

"You should be asking me how many people in Buddhism have a better grasp of Buddhist teachings than I do."

Algol's voice carried a hint of pride.

Back then, she was beaten to a pulp by Shakyamuni, so she naturally studied Shakyamuni's Dao; her current path even references parts of Shakyamuni's path.

Moreover, if one were to ask who the Dao Heart Demon Seed causes to fall the fastest, it would certainly be Buddhism.

The only pity is that the great monks are too strong, which makes her afraid to take action against Buddhism.

If those great monks didn't interfere, she could completely turn Spirit Mountain into a demon's den within a hundred years.

Although there is no difference between the current Spirit Mountain and a demon's den, the only difference lies in that layer of Golden Body gilded onto them.

"Then this matter is easy to handle."

Su Nian happily discussed with Algol the plan for how to deceive the Saint later.

"But, tell me, do you really not want to make a fortune off of Buddhism?"

Algol said full of temptation, inducing Su Nian to take the initiative to consult her.

"How so?"

Since Algol wanted Su Nian to ask, then Su Nian would just ask, right?

Anyway, asking wouldn't cost him anything.

"You should know that there are many ugly monsters in Buddhism who can't stand Little Algol, right?"

"The news of Little Algol's escape has definitely been released by now."

To put it simply, those monks in Buddhism do not want Algol to participate in the God Slayer War.

After all, Algol was an existence who once declared war on the Three Thousand Worlds and competed with the Buddha for the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

She is also an existence who has reached the end of the Three-digit realm and can prepare to become a Two-digit.

Furthermore, in their view, Algol's path is now clear: it is the Trinity Spirit Status on Athena.

Thus, those monks naturally do not want variables to appear in the God Slayer War, and even less do they want either Algol or Athena to become a Two-digit.

Naturally, the best method is to seal Algol again and have them personally guard her, sealed within Spirit Mountain.

Moreover, it is a well-known fact that the ownership of the Demon Star was transferred from Perseus to Su Nian long ago.

This means it is very likely that Su Nian has some connection with Algol and knows her location.

Of course, there is another point: if they cannot seal Algol, they could also have Su Nian banish her.

Banishment to the outside world generally means she wouldn't be able to return for several thousand years.

Along the way, they could also ascertain Su Nian's attitude; if he is willing to cooperate, Buddhism could invest in Su Nian and proceed with the next step of cooperation.

If he is unwilling, then they shouldn't be blamed for listing Su Nian as a demon that needs to be converted.

Once Su Nian is converted, they can then discuss the matter of cooperation.

"So, are you interested in making a fortune?"

Algol said excitedly; she has always been indifferent to issues like selling her own whereabouts together with Su Nian.

Given her relationship with Su Nian, she can come back whenever she wants.

Moreover, she also needs to go to the outside world to settle down, and while she's at it, find God Groups suitable for falling, to see if she can use the method of observing other worlds to make them all Demon Fall at once.

"I am very interested in this."

Su Nian revealed a treacherous smile; it seems that selling information is indeed the most profitable business these days.

Ah no, information can no longer be called making money; it should be called robbing money.

Even robbing money isn't as fast as information.
