Chapter 395: As Everyone Knows, There Is No Good End to Taking Shortcuts

"Why?"

Typhon looked up at Su Nian, looking as if his worldview had been shattered.

He was questioning why Su Nian, a mere little guy who hadn't even reached the three-digit level, was able to defeat him.

Even Zeus had to use the Star Fruit to steal his power, and only after becoming the Father God could he barely manage to defeat him.

And as for the current Zeus, even if he activated the Great Father God Declaration, he would not be his opponent without the Star Fruit.

Otherwise, when he went to settle scores with Zeus back then, they wouldn't have had to invite Kurma out.

He could understand not being able to beat Kurma; the other party was a two-digit Pure-blooded Dragon Species.

He could also understand not being able to beat Zeus; even he had once been swayed by Zeus's will and willingly accepted defeat at his hands.

But by what right did Su Nian do it?

Su Nian looked at the doubting Typhon, reached out and flipped back the other's hood, revealing her bewildered expression.

Su Nian smiled and placed his hand on Typhon's head, saying with a laugh.

"Because there is no good end to taking shortcuts. You achieved the two-digit level by relying on the Star Sovereignty once left behind by Gaia; once that Star Sovereignty is taken away, naturally, you have nothing left."

Just like Judas, who backstabbed Jesus and usurped the fruits of the Cross Religion's victory—didn't he end up crashing and burning all the same?

To put it bluntly, after Typhon had Gaia's Star Sovereignty removed, his strength was probably about the same as Azi Dahaka's.

Although he was not weak among the three-digit beings, he definitely had not reached the strength of those monsters preparing to break through to the two-digit level.

He wasn't walking a righteous path to begin with, and he lacked sufficient accumulation; isn't it perfectly normal for him to be knocked over by a fully prepared Su Nian?

If it had been Kurma, or perhaps Heitian, do you think Su Nian would dare to face them?

If he hadn't called for backup at the first opportunity, then Su Nian would have lost.

"Monkey, pinch me; is my remaining eye not blind?"

Odin, who was perched on Sun Wukong's shoulder, patted Sun Wukong's face with a wing and said as if he had seen a ghost.

And wasn't this exactly like seeing a ghost?

No, even seeing a ghost wouldn't reach this level.

The scene before their eyes was far more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

A two-digit Demon King, the King of All Demons Typhon, was knocked over by Su Nian? And in a way where he had no power to resist?

Are you serious? You wouldn't even dare to dream of this, would you?

That was the truth; after all, it was hard to say that if you dreamed of those two-digit existences, you wouldn't be perceived by them.

"I feel like these Fiery Golden Eyes of mine are also going blind; I actually saw Su Nian patting Heavenly Lord Typhon's head."

Sun Wukong said tremblingly, and only then did she come to her senses and turn her head to look at Odin.

"What did you just ask? What do you mean you feel like your eye is also going blind?"

The next second, Sun Wukong and Odin's three eyes total widened instantly, the eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"So it wasn't an illusion?"

"····Not an illusion?!"

"Holy crap! It wasn't an illusion!"

Sun Wukong and Odin couldn't help but gulp.

Would they be beaten to death by a Typhon shamed into anger? Witnessing such a scandal of a two-digit being?

"Alright, your Star Sovereignty is returned to you; I'll be taking this Taurus."

Su Nian put away the Star Holy Sword, canceled the fictionalized Gaia, and calmly put away the Taurus Sun Sovereignty in its double-bladed axe form.

It wasn't that he didn't want to keep pretending now, but the 【Mythological Apocrypha】 was already reaching its limit.

Did you really think it was that easy to fictionalize a three-digit Earth Mother Goddess Gaia?

Even though Su Nian stuffed an Earth Counter Force Gaia into it, and had the cooperation of the Little Garden Central Hub.

But being able to usurp Typhon's Star Sovereignty for a few minutes was already the limit, although these few minutes were enough to kill Typhon several times over.

But Typhon was a two-digit being after all; even if he killed the other party, the other party would still revive.

Leave a line for others when dealing with people, so you can meet again in the future.

He and Typhon ultimately hadn't reached the point of life-and-death enmity.

Silently, Su Nian left Typhon with a view of his back, having pulled off a great act of posturing.

Then Su Nian walked step by step toward Sun Wukong and Odin, and without a word, while Typhon hadn't yet reacted, grabbed Sun Wukong and Odin and ran.

The wind is tight, let's bolt!!

The goal had been achieved; if we don't retreat now, when will we!

Bye-bye now~~——

And beside Typhon, Kurma appeared out of nowhere.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems we are going to have another fellow traveler."

Kurma said with a grin, patting Typhon on the shoulder.

"It seems my little brother really didn't misjudge."

After a long while, Typhon came back to his senses from his bewilderment, patted the dust off his body, stood up, and put his hood back on, saying.

"I accept the cooperation invited by Heitian."

"However, my condition remains the same: I hope he can find the place where Gaia originally sealed Uranus and break the Paradox Game between Gaia and Uranus."

"I didn't expect to be played by such a little guy."

Typhon was a two-digit being after all; although his entire strength and status were anchored to the Star Sovereignty left behind by Gaia, he had ultimately achieved the two-digit level by his own Spirit Status and by walking his own path.

It was not like Judas, whose Spirit Status, Truth, and even True Name were all someone else's.

Compared to Judas, only someone like Typhon could be called a true two-digit being.

Although Su Nian's methods were incomparably exquisite, no matter how well a Fictional Historian hid, they would ultimately be exposed without doubt under the gaze of a Two-digit, who was near-omnipotent and omniscient.

Typhon saw through that the way Su Nian had just fictionalized Gaia was a variation of a Poet's method.

And who was the strongest Poet in Little Garden?

Aside from that Holy Son who wrote the Bible and established the true Christianity, there was only this planner and person in charge of the Preserver God Vishnu project: Heitian.

To Heitian, Su Nian's methods were nothing more than a child's play, which could be seen through at a glance and then replicated.

"Interesting methods~~"

A young figure wearing a black lunch-break robe and a straw hat appeared beside Typhon and Kurma.

Heitian narrowed his eyes; as his true body had descended, his observational abilities were not suppressed by Little Garden Central.

He could easily observe the past and the future.

Naturally, in a mere moment, the 【Mythological Apocrypha】 in Su Nian's hand was completely analyzed by him.

When Heitian discovered that the Authority Su Nian used to create this Mythological Apocrypha was the one he had given to Su Nian, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

This crafty little brat.

He actually used the Authority he had swindled from him to create an Artifact of Authority, playing him for a fool.

A moment later, a book similar in style to the 【Mythological Apocrypha】 in Su Nian's hand appeared in Heitian's hand; he closed his eyes and sensed it.

"I really don't know how that brat managed it, but he actually produced a prototype of a Simulated Star Creation Map, which already possesses a certain degree of uniqueness."

"I even wanted to broaden my own methods."

Heitian said with a hint of regret.

Meanwhile, Typhon on the side breathed a sigh of relief; she was now afraid that if Heitian learned Su Nian's methods, he would turn around and threaten her.

After all, the Gaia that Su Nian fictionalized was actually able to usurp her star Sovereignty, which was truly too terrifying.

Before finding a countermeasure, she reckoned she would have to remain restricted by Heitian.

"Then, can you fictionalize Gaia like him and search for Gaia's traces?"

Typhon asked somewhat anxiously; she had finally seen a glimmer of hope in finding Gaia's traces through Su Nian.

If Heitian couldn't do it, then at worst, she would sacrifice her own demonic essence to borrow Su Nian's 【Mythological Apocrypha】 for use.

Although this would be a great injury to her, she estimated it would take tens of thousands of years to recover.

But as long as Gaia could be saved, anything would be fine.

It would just be a matter of nursing her wounds for tens of thousands of years.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not impossible."

Heitian said with a smile, in a very good mood.

Today was truly a good day; not only did he catch a little fellow who had been causing him trouble, but he also learned brand-new methods from this little fellow's hands.

Could he now call himself a Fictional Historian?

The only trouble was that in the future, if he wanted to help Kalki awaken his Spirit Status, he would need to borrow the Sun Authority from them.

It would likely cost him a fortune.

But as everyone knows, things that can be solved by exchanging money and interests are never difficult things.

"However, now that the troublesome little mouse has been caught, who exactly is that Angra Mainyu?"

At this moment, the question surfaced in Heitian's mind again; he knew very well that Su Nian and he did not have any major conflict.

Even if there were conflicts, as long as he conceded enough benefits, these conflicts could become a manifestation of their relationship.

He could move Su Nian with sentiment.

But this Humanity's Final Trial, Angra Mainyu, who had fused with the Kali Yuga Spirit Status, was hard to say.

This was the most critical step they needed to complete the Spirit Status of the Preserver God Vishnu.

It was also an enemy they had to cross and face.

Thinking of this, Heitian couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"By the way, what do you think is the winning percentage of that little fellow regarding the Spirit Status of the Last King?"

"Certain victory."

Typhon pondered for a moment before saying firmly.

She could not think of a possibility where Su Nian would lose, unless he truly did not want to be this Last King.

But looking at it now, this Spirit Status could completely be seen as something Su Nian had prepared for himself.

"In that case, it is time to let Canary and the others return."

Speaking of this, the corners of Heitian's mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.

"It is also time to let Canary and the others see the 'trump card' they prepared in advance, and let that guy Kuroa see his own 'student'."

"Consider it a greeting to a future fellow traveler."

To be honest, Heitian had never been so confident in someone becoming a Two-digit; he even believed in Su Nian more than Su Nian believed in himself.

Even that One-digit was not impossible to touch.
