Chapter 371: So, from beginning to end, I was the one on the stage

Mount Sumeru, at the foot of the mountain.

Su Nian looked at Algol with a strange expression, very much wanting to pry open Algol's brain to see what exactly Algol was thinking.

"Algol, you haven't caught a fever, have you?"

Su Nian reached out his hand and placed it on Algol's forehead to feel it.

"No fever here? How did you come up with the idea of setting up a Holy Annihilation Ritual on Mount Sumeru?"

Su Nian looked at Algol, who was wearing a white straitjacket with restraint straps, her appearance childish and perfect.

He locked his gaze on the Inhibitor on Algol's body and raised an eyebrow.

"This Inhibitor couldn't have inhibited your brain, could it?"

Facing Su Nian's sarcasm, Algol didn't seem to mind; she tugged at the straps on her body and said.

"This isn't just an Inhibitor; this thing can shield me on the level of Causality. I can guarantee that the great monk absolutely won't be able to discover me."

Algol released the strap, and the restraint strap retracted and hit her body, making a *snap* sound.

It had quite a flirtatious air to it.

"Are you really sure you can shield yourself from the great monk?"

Su Nian rolled his eyes, walked over to Algol's side, and pinched the restraint device.

Truth be told, this thing was indeed quite effective; if Little Garden Central didn't use its own gaze, it might not necessarily discover Algol.

But as for shielding against the great monk's 【Causality】, Su Nian held no hope for that.

It could only be said that the psychological comfort was greater than the actual effect.

"And even if you are shielded, wouldn't it be very easy for the great monk to figure out that this is your handiwork?"

Su Nian complained, unable to understand why Algol was doing this.

After all, to be honest, there were only a few in Little Garden who had any connection to demons.

And most of them were split from Algol; the only exception was the Two-digit Demon Lord Typhon.

But that guy actually inherited part of Gaia's Earth Authority to become a Two-digit, which had nothing to do with Algol, nor was there any major conflict.

At most, it was just an exchange of interests to obtain the other party's Spirit Status of Demon Lord.

So, even by process of elimination, couldn't it be easily figured out that it was Algol?

"Small problem, as long as it can be shielded for a period of time."

Algol sighed, then led Su Nian to set up the Holy Annihilation Ritual she had modified.

Setting up a Holy Annihilation Ritual at the foot of the mountain that could envelop the entire Mount Sumeru—after all, if one really wanted to make the gods fall into demonhood.

Holy Annihilation was the fastest way; directly modifying their race and such was the most convenient.

On the contrary, Algol's Dao Heart Demon Seed required the other party to fall gradually, so the efficiency was actually inferior.

"Done."

After walking around Mount Sumeru once, Algol stopped, and the Holy Annihilation Ritual, composed of countless filthy words, had completely merged with Mount Sumeru.

Looking at the basic technique incantations that made up the Holy Annihilation Ritual.

Su Nian's expression gradually became serious; he felt that these incantations seemed a little bit wrong.

And just as he turned his head to look at Algol, Algol guiltily accelerated her movements, preparing to return directly to the Demon Star.

"Wait, Algol, why did you add a Simulated Star Creation Map into this Holy Annihilation Technique?"

Su Nian grabbed Algol's wrist and revealed a smile.

Su Nian roughly understood Algol's intention, but it was precisely because he understood that he knew what Algol was actually trying to do.

"Are you really not afraid of the great monk flying into a rage?"

Su Nian's mouth twitched, and then he said.

"Even if the great monk is currently the easiest to talk to among all the Two-digits in Little Garden, you don't have to be this impulsive, right?"

"Relax, relax, I already tested the great monk's attitude. Anyway, this is a matter of time; I'm just accelerating it a bit now."

Algol seemed completely indifferent.

"On the contrary, it's you."

Algol turned her head, a pair of jewel-like eyes looking at Su Nian.

"Are you prepared to be exposed and become an enemy of all the gods?"

"Uh..."

Su Nian fell into silence upon hearing this.

He knew very well that after this worldview observation was completed, and after all the Divine Spirits were corrupted into demons and observed.

It would increase the possibility of corruption for all the Gods and Buddhas in Little Garden, equivalent to planting a Demon Seed in every God and Buddha in the entire Little Garden.

With such a massive amount of Merit, Algol would have the opportunity to rush into the Three-digit Exceptional rank.

And because of this, it would inevitably provoke the nerves of those Supreme Beings.

Su Nian didn't think that a mere Indra could hide this from those truly big shots.

This Indra could only deceive the gazes of the lower levels; even if Indra didn't care, it might not necessarily cause any impact on Indra.

By then, it would inevitably trigger investigations by countless big shots, and Su Nian, who had the deepest suspicion among them, would inevitably bear the brunt.

Although, it wasn't suspicion on him; he was the principal culprit, after all.

There wasn't much time left for him.

After a long while, Su Nian narrowed his eyes and sighed.

"Indeed, the preparations are still insufficient. Currently, our side can only mobilize the combat power of five Two-digits."

Shiroyasha, the Halloween Queen, plus myself holding the Holy Sword and the Last King's Spirit Status—that makes three.

Algol counts as one, and Athena can barely be counted as one, I suppose.

If it really comes to it, he can just go beg Indra; he doesn't believe that old guy can't withstand the pressure of a Two-digit.

It's just that Su Nian feels inexplicably guilty; is it really decent to pit the old guy like this and then go ask him for help?

"But that is no reason for you to be so reckless."

Su Nian turned his head to look at Algol, speaking as if he were looking at a brave warrior.

"Are you truly not afraid of being smashed to death by the big monk's vajra?"

"Integrating the Simulated Star Creation Map into the concept of Mount Sumeru, and with the help of the observation and convergence of the Little Garden Central, you are converging the Simulated Star Creation Map onto Spirit Mountain, and then corrupting the billions of Buddhas of Spirit Mountain all at once."

Even Su Nian has to say that Algol is truly brave—not just ordinarily brave.

This is almost on par with her past record of declaring war against the Asura Gods and Buddhas of the Three Thousand Worlds.

When it comes to being thick-headed, Su Nian admits he is no match for Algol.

Why does it feel like this idiot hasn't grown a bit in the brain after being sealed for so long?

As he spoke, Su Nian subconsciously moved a few steps away from Algol, saying with quite a bit of disgust.

"When you die, don't splatter blood on me."

Algol's expression stiffened, and she looked at Su Nian with quite a bit of resentment; she felt that her heart had been severely wounded.

And to think she was actually planning to help him attract attention.

Without the slightest hesitation, Algol hugged Su Nian tightly and said.

"I am going to splatter it on you!!"

To tell the truth, her attitude toward Shakyamuni is quite complex; after all, even though she was a Star Spirit back then, it's not as if there were no ways to truly kill her.

As for the trouble she caused, it was actually Shakyamuni who bailed her out, letting her just have her Spirit Status split and then tossing her to the Greek God Group.

At most, her outcome would have been similar to Shiroyasha's; although it looked like a serious injury, in reality, it didn't hurt her foundation too much, and there was still a possibility of rising again.

That is, if she hadn't been decapitated by Perseus and sealed by Athena.

Moreover, in a sense, Shakyamuni can be called her teacher; many of the paths she takes now are referenced from Buddhism.

She is very clear about the current state of Buddhism, and its future state after being planted with a Magic Seed.

So rather than watching Buddhism slowly rot, it is better to have her cut away the rotten flesh with a quick stroke.

At least there won't be pus, maggots, and flies buzzing around on a rotting Buddhism.

Falling directly into evil and tearing open the truth is better than already being evil but still having to maintain the appearance of a Buddha, right?

That kind of Buddhism is the one that is truly rotten to the core.

She would find it an eyesore just to look at it.

——

Meanwhile, at the main hall on the summit of Mount Sumeru.

At the invitation of Indra, many gods from other pantheons, excluding the Greek Pantheon, have all arrived at Mount Sumeru.

Indra, sitting on the most luxurious and highest throne in the center of the hall, looked down at the group of gods below and revealed a smile.

This is how a Heavenly Emperor like him should look.

"Welcome, everyone, for coming to the Mount Sumeru Heavenly Court amidst your busy schedules; I, Indra, as the Heavenly Emperor, will surely treat you all with the highest hospitality."

"Now, while everyone is gathered here, let us discuss the funeral of the God of the Bible..."

Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly.

With a loud boom, the ceiling suddenly exploded!

Through the ceiling, high in the sky, several Angels were looking coldly at Indra.

And in front of the Angels, leading them, was none other than Su Nian.

"For the arrangements of the God of the Bible's funeral, would you mind adding me to the list?"

The expressions of everyone present changed in unison at this instant.

Indra looked at the Holy Son looking down at him from high in the sky and said in a deep voice.

"I didn't expect that you, Heavenly Lord Holy Son, would be even more eager than us to see the God of the Bible off."

"I am not here to see the God of the Bible off."

Su Nian waved his hand lightly, then stared at Indra with a sharp gaze and said.

"Indra, I am here to see you all off!"

"Indra, you have been exposed! Colluding with invaders from the Exe World to invade our world!"

Indra's face sank instantly, and the gazes of the surrounding Divine Spirits toward Indra also changed, filled with a bit more fear.

"Are you really going to tear off the mask with us?"

Indra asked with a livid face.

"With you? No, no, no, you are not worthy."

Su Nian curled his lips into a smile, waved his hand, and said.

"And to be honest, Indra, I am actually quite grateful; after all, if it weren't for you, my plan might not have gone so smoothly."

"However, your role ends here."

Having said that, Su Nian no longer concealed his aura, and the immense pressure made them unable to stand straight.

Only then did Indra realize one thing: from the very beginning, he had miscalculated the strength of Su Nian, this Holy Son.

He took the Prayer Beads from his neck, placed them in his palm, chanted a Buddha's name, and his expression turned calm.

He opened his mouth, but the thousands of words eventually rotted in his stomach, and he only asked one question.

"I want to know, is the God of the Bible truly dead?"

He had schemed so much, only to reach the supreme peak after the God of the Bible died.

Hearing this, Su Nian smiled and said nothing.

Indra sighed helplessly, finally understanding the sentence Su Nian had said about his part being over.

"So, from beginning to end, I was just a clown on the stage."
