Chapter 376: Damn it, a bunch of fun-seekers, you guys are really enough
Although Uesugi Kenshin's strength is not equal to Indra's, she is, after all, one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Army.
Her strength, her insight into Authority, her execution, and so on, are all still up to par.
She used her Authority to sever the connection between the Avatar of Indra at the Tianjun Zongbu and the main body of Indra after his Descent to Human.
Naturally, even if Indra's Avatar attempted to commit suicide to bring the information back to the main body, it would not be that easy, though it wouldn't necessarily result in packet loss.
However, there would still be some delay.
A moment later, Indra finally understood what kind of situation he was in now.
He sighed, looking at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, who were sitting on his left and right like two bodyguards.
His whole person was like a salted fish that had been thoroughly marinated, having lost all desire to live.
"Old Di, have you been pickled?"
Sun Wukong looked at the living, salted-fish-like Indra and asked curiously.
"Get lost, you're the one who's been pickled! And stop using Tianchao slang to take advantage of me!"
Indra instantly lost his composure, stood up from the table, and said with an angry face.
"Which bastard is plotting against me!"
"If I find out, I guarantee I'll make that bastard pay!!"
"How can you call this a plot? This is clearly someone coming to deliver benefits to our Nengtian Emperor."
Sun Wukong said with an amused look; in any case, when it came to watching Indra's fun, she was always the first to join in the excitement.
When she converged with the Sun Wukong from that DXD World, she had prepared herself to watch Indra's fun at the very first opportunity.
"I honestly feel that the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army is still a bit too small for our Nengtian Emperor; it shouldn't be hard for His Majesty Nengtian to climb even higher in status, right?"
"His Majesty Nengtian has actually realized the wish I had when I was young."
Back when she was causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong was young and reckless, and she had once said she wanted to make the Jade Emperor and the Buddha step down so she could take their places as the Heavenly Emperor and the Buddha.
But she was just running her mouth; unlike Indra, who had actually fulfilled her wish in another world without a sound.
Of course, she was mature now; even if Shakyamuni took the initiative to let her do it, she would only shake her head wildly and refuse.
"Get lost!"
Indra glared at Sun Wukong with black lines on his forehead, then viciously downed the wine in his hand and said.
"You dead monkey, stop trying to kill me with kindness at a time like this!"
This performance by Indra gave Sun Wukong plenty of fun to watch.
Of course, they weren't just here to watch Indra's fun; more importantly, Mata had begged them to come and pin Indra down to prevent him from suddenly running away.
This vast Heavenly Army could exist without them, without Mata, Uesugi Kenshin, Brahma, or the other Twelve Heavenly Generals.
But it could not exist without the core figure of the Heavenly Army, Indra.
The Heavenly Army is Indra's Heavenly Army; that is the true meaning of being the Lord of the Heavenly Army.
"Be serious, who exactly is messing with me? Let me die knowing the truth."
After a long while, Indra sighed, like a fired corporate slave, his whole body devoid of any vitality.
"Even Yang Erlang has come out to block me."
Indra raised his eyes and looked at the expressionless Yang Jian; he truly lived up to being the Judicial Heavenly God, keeping a straight face even now.
No, this kid was definitely laughing; it was just that his face was so paralyzed that one couldn't tell.
Forget it, forget it; if they want to watch a joke, let them watch.
There were few in the entire Little Garden now who weren't watching his joke.
Indra knew with his eyes closed what would happen in an environment like Little Garden, where moral standards were extremely low.
People like Sun Wukong and Yang Jian coming to watch the fun was already a sign of relatively high moral standards.
He reckoned some of his old friends might have even formed a Community to "rectify the Emperor's side" by now, all to support Indra in completing that Spirit Status.
But if Indra actually believed that, the fun would be even greater.
Damn it, a bunch of fun-seekers, you guys are really enough!!
"The Causality of Little Garden was just modified; it seems a mysterious Supreme Being clashed with the World-Honored One. I can only say this much."
Yang Jian looked at Indra speechlessly. To be honest, if Indra hadn't been soaking in a bar drinking flower wine today, things might not have evolved into this state.
After all, Indra's Boundary far exceeded his own, and when Shakyamuni modified Causality, he wouldn't have been bored enough to block Indra as well.
But Indra was just that unlucky; he truly didn't know what had happened.
"It wasn't someone's alias?"
Indra frowned and asked. In the upper echelons of Little Garden, there were only those eighteen Supreme Beings—no, it should be seventeen now.
Except for the Queen, the others had plenty of aliases.
It was quite normal for a Two-digit to use an alias and come into conflict with the Buddha; at least, it wasn't unheard of.
"No, that was a completely unfamiliar Truth."
Yang Jian looked at Indra and said calmly.
"This time, the sky has really been poked through."
Indra gave a bitter smile and rubbed his brow. He finally realized he was truly unlucky, pushed out to be the scapegoat.
At this critical juncture of the God Slayer War, what did a newly appeared, unfamiliar Universal Truth represent?
No one understood the significance better than he did; it meant the God Slayer War might have ended before it even fully began.
He was likely the one pushed out to take the fall.
After all, his battle record was simply too astonishing; he had used his own Spirit Status to prop up the entire Indian Pantheon, and he was even able to solo Azi Dahaka, who had served as one of the Eleven Heavens of the Dharma Protector, saving the Heavenly Army from the claws of the three-headed dragon.
If he hadn't known that Azi Dahaka could be resurrected, he might have soloed him without a scratch.
"Well, based on current intelligence, quite a few people have already placed the suspicion for the existence that just clashed with the Buddha on your head."
Upon hearing this, Indra's expression instantly stiffened.
No, what had he done? Hadn't he just had a bit to drink in Hua Du? How did he suddenly become a suspect in the attack on Shakyamuni?
"I am wronged!!"
Indra's face twitched violently a few times as he cried out in grievance.
At this moment, he felt that even Dou E was not as wronged as he was.
What is the most wronged thing of all? It is when others know you are innocent, yet they deliberately dump the blame onto you anyway.
He did not believe those Two-digit beings could not tell the difference in the truth he had woven.
His Vajra was still with that brat Su Nian.
He couldn't use a shred of truth right now.
"You could go find the Great Monk to plead your grievance; the Great Monk surely knows who the person who wronged you is."
Sun Wukong could not help but say with a laugh.
Indra rolled his eyes.
"Go find the Buddha to plead my grievance? Am I tired of living?"
"I don't want to actually confirm their suspicions; I don't want to be unable to shake off this blame later."
"Of course, you could also ask Shiroyasha to inquire; that fellow has a pretty good relationship with the Great Monk."
Sun Wukong said with a smile, pointing out a bright path for Indra.
"Good idea."
Saying this, Indra stood up, preparing to leave the bar, but what he did not expect was that Sun Wukong and Yang Jian actually followed him.
"Are you two not going back?"
Indra asked, knowing the answer.
"Go back? Better not. I don't want to be suddenly forced to wear the yellow robe while I'm in seclusion one day."
Yang Jian gave Indra a faint look; did he really think he couldn't see through this old ghost's thoughts?
If they relaxed even a little, this old ghost might just run off and disappear completely.
Without Indra, who should this massive burden of the Heavenly Army be dumped onto?
There are only a few people in Little Garden qualified to inherit the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army.
Sun Wukong counts as one, he, Yang Jian, counts as one, Kalki counts as one, and Su Nian barely counts as one...
And that's it.
As for those who have grown up and are truly qualified without dispute, it's just Sun Wukong and himself.
If Indra really ran away, this burden of the Heavenly Army would fall onto their shoulders; why else would they have come to block Indra?
Kalki and Su Nian have not yet grown up; even if they were put in that position, it would be hard to convince the masses, and they would likely be hollowed out and turned into puppets.
Indra smiled awkwardly and walked in the direction of Thousand Eyes.
——
Arcadia Headquarters.
Su Nian, sitting on the sofa, held black tea in one hand and a document in the other, saying.
"Only Ophis and Great Red have reached the Four-digit level."
"Yes."
Leticia, standing beside Su Nian, said while holding a thick stack of documents.
"Except for Great Red and Ophis, who were granted the Spirit Status of the Pure-blooded Dragon Species and received enhancements, the others' Spirit Status remains in the Five-digit category."
"The Merit they possess does not support them in advancing to the Four-digit level."
"True, Little Garden Central wouldn't do a losing business."
Su Nian said while looking at the documents with great composure.
After all, the Merit brought by observing a world and triggering a History Conversion Period is only so much; previously, Su Nian saving the world was only enough to pile up one Four-digit being.
Not to mention this time; unless there was unclaimed Merit, it would be impossible to get rich overnight.
He took a portion of the Merit brought by observing the Dxd World, Ophis and Great Red took a portion by obtaining the Spirit Status of the Pure-blooded Dragon Species, and there is not much left.
If Sirzechs and the others want to become Four-digit beings, they will likely have to cultivate in Little Garden for a while and sponge off the Merit of the Cross Religion.
These matters will be left to Algol to handle; he is not skilled at these things.
She is the veteran of the Cross Religion, after all.
"Then the remaining matters will be left for you to handle."
Su Nian clapped his hands happily. In fact, he didn't bring many people to Little Garden; most of those he brought were of the new generation, after all, having the same name in Little Garden is not a good thing.
"Call Black Rabbit and the Asura over; we'll need to entertain guests in a moment."
Su Nian narrowed his eyes, looking at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, who were bringing Indra toward Arcadia in the distance.
He had to find a way to keep Indra sitting in the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army, presiding over the Heavenly Army.
And while he was at it, watch the fun with Indra.
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing this, Leticia nodded and walked down to tell Black Rabbit and the Asura the good news that Indra was about to arrive.
