Chapter 320: Su Nian, the Greatest Black Hand in Little Garden

In a certain nameless base of the Hydra in the lower levels of Little Garden.

Heitian, who was handling the affairs of the Snake, frowned as he looked at the one-eyed crow that had appeared before his desk, and asked while looking at the scroll it was holding in its beak.

"Intelligence from where?"

"It is the latest intelligence regarding the God Slayer War."

Odin said while lowering his head to put down the intelligence.

"That False Son of God from the Cross Religion, Judas... has fallen."

"What did you say? Say it again?"

Heitian was stunned for a moment, and said with some disbelief.

He impatiently picked up the scroll on the table and took a look, his brows furrowing as he did so.

"That shouldn't be, how could someone who has reached the Two-digit level fall?"

"This was said by that old dog Indra himself within the Council of Gods; he even released his own memories."

Odin hopped onto Heitian's shoulder and explained in a very complex tone.

"But I really have to say, the scene of a battle between Two-digit existences is truly grand."

"If I weren't inside Little Garden, I reckon I wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftershocks."

Heitian looked at the scroll in silence for a moment, then said with a grave expression and a hint of regret.

"It is truly a pity for Judas; if only he hadn't been so anxious and so resistant, he wouldn't have been schemed against to his death."

Hearing this, Odin felt a chill run from its spine straight into its brain.

"How could this be... this is a Two-digit existence we're talking about?"

Heitian shook his head lightly.

"Perhaps it wasn't being schemed against to death; it could also have been an accident."

"Even if it were an accident... the accident itself is shocking..."

Odin muttered to itself for a while, unable to help but swallow its saliva.

"What kind of accident could possibly cause two Universal Truths to clash, ultimately resulting in the fall of one as the price?"

Odin now felt its scalp tingling; the implications of this were something even it dared not think about too deeply.

The once clear situation in Little Garden was now filled with fog; Odin could only see that the current Little Garden was a massive vortex.

Even a behemoth like a Two-digit existence would inevitably fall if dragged into it.

"Heh, a fall? I think it's more like suicide."

Heitian rolled up the scroll and tossed it aside; the now-dead Judas was not worth him wasting any more energy on.

Odin shrank its neck, not daring to express an opinion; the fear of Two-digit existences in its heart meant that even though it was certain Judas was dead, it dared not say anything.

At this moment, Heitian leaned back against the chair, raised his hand to rub his brow, and said.

"What is there to be afraid of? He was just a lucky person who failed to grasp his opportunity."

What is Spirit Status? It is the ranking of life, the essence of life itself.

As the essence of life, Spirit Status almost inevitably influences a person's own will.

For example, an existence that has obtained the Spirit Status of a Land God will gradually fall in love with the land and possess a heart of tolerance; those with the Spirit Status of a Devil will gradually become cruel and ruthless; those with the Spirit Status of Gods and Buddhas will become arrogant...

This is the influence from the essence of life; after all, a person who likes destruction and slaughter cannot become a Life God.

And Judas, who had picked up the benefits left by Jesus, naturally could not avoid being influenced, yet he feared this change and resisted the essence of his own life.

He was afraid that under the influence of his Spirit Status, he would become "Jesus," ultimately brewing the bitter fruit that led to his fall.

Speaking of this, Heitian shook his head and sighed.

"The current Little Garden has too many variables; it seems the plan must be accelerated."

As he spoke, Heitian took out paper and pen and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Who would have thought that we, who considered ourselves the chess players who have been playing the game of Little Garden for tens of thousands of years, now cannot even see clearly who the other chess players are; this is truly..."

Odin stood to the side with its head lowered, listening silently, not daring to speak.

But in its heart, it was in turmoil.

What did that mean? Could it be that in the current Little Garden, besides them, the Snake, there were other behind-the-scenes chess players?

Those in the Dongfang had long since left Little Garden, the one on Spirit Mountain had been sitting on the Lotus Throne ignoring worldly affairs for years, and those two from Zoroastrianism had long since fallen and disappeared without a trace.

The two from Thousand Eyes didn't care about anything, and Shiroyasha clearly lacked this wisdom.

The movements of the Queen were watched closely by them.

Where could there be new chess players? There were only seventeen Two-digit existences in total in Little Garden, or eighteen including the Queen, and that was counting the dead ones.

Those still active as Two-digit existences were just these few from the Ouroboros.

Eliminating them like this, there was no one left.

Who else could be a chess player?

After a long while, Heitian finished writing the letter.

"Deliver this letter to Typhon; just tell Him that we have agreed to His cooperation."

Cooperation, what kind of cooperation?

I think it's more like a siege.

Odin complained in its heart; what kind of cooperation would require seeking out that Demon King?

Afterwards, it took the letter Heitian had written in its beak, spread its wings, stepped into the Boundary zone, and flew off into the distance.

Meanwhile, Heitian leaned back against the chair, revealing a hint of long-lost excitement.

"A black hand, is it? Although I don't know who you are, I hope there won't be a day when you are caught by me."

——

Five Hundred Outer Gate, Tianjun Zongbu, inside the conference room.

Indra, who had just returned from dissolving the Council of Gods, wore a stern face.

"Damn it, these guys don't even have me, this Lord of the Heavenly Army, in their eyes."

Indra slammed the table, attracting the attention of the Twelve Heavenly Generals present.

Seeing Indra like this, Mata picked up an apple that Uesugi Kenshin had peeled, took a bite, and rolled her eyes.

"Of course they don't, which is why you should just abdicate sooner."

Speaking of this, Mata couldn't help but complain.

"Seriously, you really should have seized the opportunity to cede the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army to Su Nian."

Hearing Su Nian mentioned, everyone revealed curious expressions; even Jialing, who had been burying her head in study alongside Iron Fan Princess, pricked up her ears.

Upon hearing this, Indra couldn't help but glare at Mata.

"Don't add fuel to the fire right now."

"Believe it or not, if I had stayed one second longer, I would have been torn apart by Baiye and Wansheng on the spot."

Hearing this, Mata couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, a bewildered Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"But what does this have to do with Su Nian? Wasn't it Arthur who saved the Halloween Queen?"

Although the Artifact of the Council of Gods can monitor Little Garden, ever since that Halloween Queen returned.

The monitoring was cut off directly; no one dared to offend that Halloween Queen, whose mood clearly looked very bad.

So in reality, Uesugi Kenshin truly did not know what had happened afterward.

Indra's expression was somewhat complex, and he said with hesitation and conflict.

"I don't know if I should tell you, but the so-called Arthur is actually that kid's alias."

"Wait?"

Uesugi Kenshin hurriedly raised her hand, looking at Indra with a confused expression.

"What did you just say?"

"The Last King Arthur, the Arthur who released a radiance sufficient to annihilate a Two-digit with the Spirit Status of the Last King, and who heroically saved the Halloween Queen, is actually Su Nian?"

Indra nodded.

"So that means the God Slayer War was orchestrated by Su Nian?"

Indra nodded, then shook his head, and paused for a moment.

"No... that's not right, damn it!! Judas did not die in vain."

Hearing this, the conference room fell into a silence so deep a pin drop could be heard.

Observing the Godslayer World, guiding the changes in Mythology, becoming the Last King, and maneuvering between those two Star Spirits, Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen.

Moreover, he even managed to sell intelligence on the side to earn some pocket money, while simultaneously orchestrating the God Slayer War to smooth out the impact and provide the gods with the possibility of further advancement.

Then, facing the pressure from the Cross Religion and Buddhism, he shifted the blame unhurriedly and conveniently framed and killed that Saint Son of the Cross Religion.

And in the end, he was still able to walk away without a single leaf touching his body.

Damn it, what level of monster is this exactly?

"He shouldn't be a Two-digit right now, right?"

Gulp~ Mata couldn't help but swallow her saliva, asking with an unnaturally distorted expression.

"Is this little monster really something that Canary could have raised?"

Is this Little Garden really enough for Su Nian to toss around by himself?

No one dared to answer Mata's question; everyone shifted their gaze to Jialing, who was awkwardly playing dead on the side.

Jialing accepted the scrutiny from her colleagues with a flushed face and nodded slightly.

These things were indeed all done by Su Nian; Su Nian had not kept it from her.

And there was even more shocking news within this, but she could not possibly reveal it.

"Old Peng King has really picked up a huge bargain."

After a long while, Indra said after a moment of silence.

No, who could have imagined this? Someone who just arrived in Little Garden only a few months ago?

And then he caused so many things? And it was all orchestrated by him; he even managed to get a Two-digit killed.

Indra now deeply suspected that Judas's death was planned by Su Nian, and the whole process was within Su Nian's control.

"You've got to be kidding me..."

Mata's expression was somewhat blank.

"Could it be that we are also part of his plan?"

"That can be assumed."

Brahma, who had been keeping silent, sighed softly at this moment.

"However, it is better for us to pretend we know nothing."

Baiye, the Halloween Queen, and now adding such a Last King as Su Nian.

That's three Two-digit combat powers now.

What exactly do they want to do?

And there is also the Snake side; the Saint Son, the Ark, Heitian, and Kurma, a total of four Two-digits.

No, now that one has been killed, the Saint Son Judas has fallen, so there are only three left on the Snake side.

The combat power is now equal.

So now the situation is very serious; with two evenly matched sides, how should the Heavenly Army choose its side?

If one side holds the advantage, then the matter is easy to resolve, but if the forces are evenly matched, it becomes very troublesome, as this signifies a stalemate and a bloody battle.

"But do we have a choice?"

Mata let out a laugh, picked up an apple, took a bite, and said.

They had been unhappy for a long time watching that Snake stir up trouble in Little Garden, and compared to the sinister and vicious Snake.

They would rather accept the control of the Black Hand; at least Su Nian can still be considered a person.
