Chapter 37: Rules? What are rules? Fists are the greatest rule

"They must have participated in some Gift Game that required memory erasure."

Aishiliya pondered for a moment before saying that, normally, the rules of Little Garden protect a person's free will, emotions, and memories.

Even if one loses a Gift Game and becomes someone else's Slave.

Others still cannot interfere with your will, your thoughts, or your memories.

Your free will is also protected by the Little Garden Central.

And besides being subtly influenced by the surrounding environment, the only other possibility for affecting one's will is through Gift Games.

"It seems that the Host Authority of that unknown Demon King must be related to memories?"

"Hard to say; at the very least, I have never heard of anyone whose Host Authority is related to memories."

Shiroyasha shook her head, negating Aishiliya's speculation.

Because of the Little Garden rules, free will is protected, and any Authority related to charm, memory, the mind, or even the soul is subject to a considerable degree of restriction.

No one would be bored enough to create a Gift Game where you forget the content of the game once you participate.

And even if that were the case, one should still remember the contract content of the Gift Game participated in.

Rather than leaving behind no memories at all.

"Then is there a possibility that they didn't participate in a Gift Game at all?"

Su Nian stroked his chin, proposing an idea that seemed quite whimsical.

However, this was not a whimsical idea, but a speculation he made based on existing information combined with his previous understanding of Little Garden.

All Three-digit Spirit Statuses are equivalent, with the exception of the Halloween Queen.

That is to say, even if there are gaps between Three-digits in Little Garden, they are not too large.

At the very least, the upper and lower limits of all Three-digits are about the same.

And Arcadia, as a Community that once faced the Absolute Evil that fought against a million God Groups, Azi Dahaka.

Almost every member could be said to be battle-hardened; even if they lost eighty percent of their combat power, they would not collapse at the first touch.

Maneuvering a bit and getting the message out shouldn't be difficult, right?

Instead of becoming a mystery that even those who experienced it personally never understood.

Therefore, there is only one most likely answer, and that is that they broke the rules.

Rules have always been created by the strong to bind the weak; the strong have never had any intention of following rules.

And the rules of Little Garden are set by the strong; naturally, those who set the rules cannot allow themselves to be restricted by them.

And with Canary's resourcefulness, as long as it is still within the rules.

Even if the conditions are disparate, as long as the most basic rules remain, there is still room to maneuver.

What is it that a strategist like Canary fears most?

What she fears most is others not following the rules, a Mechanical God Descent, crushing all opposition, and then wiping their memories.

It is precisely because of the rules of Little Garden that the weak have the possibility of overcoming the strong through strategy.

And once rules are disregarded... the weak will always be the weak, with no possibility of defeating the strong.

And under this near-absolute disparity in force, it is normal for them to feel despair.

"That... that's impossible, right?"

Aishiliya was stunned, feeling as if her worldview had been shattered and rebuilt.

In Little Garden, is there still someone who does not follow the rules of the Little Garden Central?

This kind of behavior is absolutely mandatory for Four-digits, and if there is a violation by a Three-digit, the Decadent Wind starts up.

For a Two-digit, just appearing in Little Garden causes the Decadent Wind to blow.

"And isn't the Moon Rabbit with the Referee Authority still in No Name (Arcadia)? How could there be any rule-breaking behavior?"

The Moon Rabbit's ears are connected to the Little Garden Central, meaning that as long as the Moon Rabbit exists, even cheating behavior is impossible in that area; it would be rooted out directly by the Little Garden Central.

Listening to Aishiliya's words, which were almost a collapse of her worldview, Su Nian just smiled.

If everyone followed the rules, and everyone's Spirit Status was equivalent.

Then why would anyone pursue Merit? And why would so many Divine Spirits who are "omniscient and omnipotent" in the outside world come to Little Garden?

Just to put shackles on themselves?

Or to pursue a higher Boundary and stronger power?

If a Three-digit can be "omniscient and omnipotent," then why would there be a need for Two-digits?

Not to mention that the big shots among the Two-digits are all pursuing the One-digit.

Even the Cross Religion, because monotheism is not established, has prepared and thought about destroying Little Garden and rebuilding a Little Garden and Human History that allows monotheism.

Did they follow the rules?

Even after coming to Little Garden, Su Nian only believes in one thing, and that is that might makes right, and that is the only truth.

One can only say that this Knight is still a bit too naive.

But then again, the other party is an agent cultivated by Athena, and agents naturally participate in those games that follow the rules.

In a place that doesn't follow the rules, who would send an agent? If they don't follow the rules, wouldn't they just all gang up together?

"This is indeed possible."

Shiroyasha sighed and said, if it really is as Su Nian said.

Then it's going to be difficult.

After all, the only ones capable of shielding the Little Garden Central and conducting illegal games are Two-digits.

However, the difficulty with the existence of Two-digits is that, unless Shiroyasha really flips the table, she truly has no way to deal with them.

But to flip the table, one must first face her own two bosses, the twin goddesses Alpha and Omega, as well as the Awakened One, Shakyamuni.

These three Two-digits would hold the table down when Shiroyasha tries to flip it.

"Unless there is absolute evidence proving it was done by some Universal Truth, I have no way of knowing either."

Shiroyasha sighed and said; she had lost too much, and the restrictions placed upon her were truly too great.

"It is no wonder Leticia has become so pessimistic."

Su Nian looked at Leticia, who was standing to the side dazed like a marionette, and sighed as he spoke.

It is even very likely that Arcadia was not the only one destroyed in this manner.

Even the Xuegui Yizu of the past might have perished this way.

What?

You used the rules to establish a system that does not rely on the protection of Gods and Buddhas?

You relied on the rules to even make your status comparable to a God Group?

Then it is time to show you what the true rules of Little Garden are.

Su Nian even suspected that when Kasukabe Takaaki fought against Absolute Evil, he might have been backstabbed in exactly this way.

"However, if that is the case, then I have to consider your safety."

Shiroyasha looked at Su Nian, and after a moment of silence, she said with quite a bit of helplessness.

After all, Su Nian was her Subordinate God, and the talent she thought most highly of.

And if he were to continue being left in No Name to fish for trouble like this, his fate would likely be no better.

It would be better for him to stay by her side and cultivate in peace, but that would be too stifling.

Shiroyasha felt very unhappy and stifled; she hadn't even felt this stifled when she gave away her Sun Authority back then.
