Chapter 399: This Puxian has already invited his own death!!

"Who proposed the treaty to restructure the God Slayer War?"

Su Nian looked at Mata with deep, gloomy eyes and said very calmly.

But for some reason, Mata heard a trace of killing intent in Su Nian's voice.

"Puxian."

Mata's intuition told her that she had better tell the truth as much as possible now.

"Tsk, it had to be Puxian; none of these old things are easy to deal with."

Su Nian clicked his tongue. If it weren't for that last sentence Mata used to remind him, he might not have reacted in time.

【Covenant Great Dharma】—Su Nian knew as soon as he heard it that it was something someone had dug out from the Godslayer World, and it was also the true source of power for the Last King.

And in the Godslayer World, according to the ancient covenant, whenever an impossible emergency occurs, the Last King can obtain power based on the Covenant Great Dharma to quell the emergency.

Some other Steel Heroes can also borrow the power of the Covenant Great Dharma.

In other words, the 【Covenant Great Dharma】 is both the source of the Last King's power and the Last King's limitation.

When Su Nian crafted the Last King's Spirit Status, he hadn't considered any 【Covenant Great Dharma】.

The initial Last King Spirit Status came from the completion of observations of the Godslayer World, followed by the Merit brought about by the influence of triggering the God Slayer War.

Then came the heartfelt contribution from Judas, plus the Star Holy Sword.

From beginning to end, he had never borrowed the power of the gods, let alone the Covenant Great Dharma.

But this move by Puxian was too ruthless; it was equivalent to directly bypassing Su Nian, the owner and creator of the Last King Spirit Status, and forcibly sharing it with the gods.

And the next move: exchanging for a Sun Sovereign from the Halloween Queen, reducing the number of Sun Sovereigns held by the Halloween Queen to five.

Using the contribution of repairing the Last King's Spirit Status to allocate the distribution rights for borrowing power through the 【Covenant Great Dharma】.

Based on the fact that Kalki requires ten Sun Sovereigns to complete a Spirit Status, the number of Sun Sovereigns required to repair and perfect the Last King's Spirit Status would definitely not be lower than ten.

Finally, add one more strike: Shiroyasha is now converted to Buddhism and is also a member of Buddhism.

Extending it further, even he himself could be seen as a member of Buddhism in a certain sense.

After all, both Jialing and Shiroyasha are of Buddhism.

Thus, no matter how many Sun Sovereigns are needed to repair the Last King's Spirit Status, Buddhism can at least occupy half of the distribution rights of the 【Covenant Great Dharma】.

Not counting the Halloween Queen, there is also the Sun King Group; "Buddhism" controls at least nineteen Sun Sovereigns, on the basis that this Buddhism includes Su Nian and Shiroyasha.

As for the opinions of Su Nian and Shiroyasha? The ownership of the Last King Spirit Status? That is not important.

Because the signing of the 【Covenant Great Dharma】 is based on the God Group as a unit; as long as they are classified under the God Group, it is enough.

One only needs to ensure the meat stays in the pot.

With this, Buddhism can conjure up an extra Two-digit combat force out of thin air.

Even after the Buddha leaves, Buddhism can still sit securely in the position of a super-giant God Group.

It really is both sinister and vicious.

I reckon even the Sun Sovereign: Shen Monkey that Sun Wukong gave to Su Nian was within Puxian's calculations.

Used to distract the line of sight, and used to plug mouths.

Is this the strength of a veteran God King?

Su Nian narrowed his eyes, and in a daze, he seemed to see an ordinary old monk sitting withered at the feet of a golden Buddha, tapping a wooden fish.

It was precisely this ordinary old monk who, by making a move just once, almost caused him to flip over, turning the Last King—his private Spirit Status—into a public covenant.

Almost making him, like Sun Wukong, become a guardian deity of Buddhism without even knowing it.

If it weren't for that last sentence Mata used to remind him, Su Nian feared he wouldn't even have known what happened in the end.

It's not guaranteed that the Last King wouldn't have become a knife for Buddhism to stab at them.

"Was that sentence just now something Indra asked you to remind me of?"

Su Nian looked at Mata; although it was a question, he said it with a tone of certainty.

After all, apart from that old monster Indra, who has sat securely in a high position since the Dawn Period and controlled the Heavenly Army for thousands of years, Su Nian didn't think anyone else could discover this subtle loophole.

"Yeah, who would have thought that useless god would still be of some use."

Mata said with quite a bit of emotion; they are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of ghost stories are they pretending to tell?

A single hint pointing out the problem was enough for the people present to be clear-headed.

"Tell Indra, I have noted this favor."

Su Nian was silent for a moment, then sighed and said.

At this moment, he seemed to see Indra sitting on the seat of the Lord of the Heavenly Army, looking at him with a smile.

The shadow of that once-strongest martial god, the wisest God of War.

It was as if Indra was smiling and saying to him:

"Little brat, you still need to practice; such old monsters still require me to make a move."

I reckon even the Halloween Queen didn't realize this point, or rather, Puxian even calculated the Halloween Queen into it.

Tsk, these old monsters in Little Garden really cannot be underestimated.

I can only be glad that I play the information gap, and I have the thigh of Little Garden Central, plus I have good relationships with quite a few old geezers, at least not to the point of life-and-death enmity.

Otherwise, Su Nian feared he would die without even knowing how he died.

Compared to them, Canary looks like a harmless ornamental bird.

Perhaps this is the true level of those old geezers.

The only thing to be glad about is that they haven't realized that he and Algol are preparing to take action against Buddhism next, before the Buddha leaves.

After a long time, Su Nian came back to his senses, looked around, and his gaze swept over Athena, Mata, and Uesugi.

"To actually dare to arbitrarily classify me and Shiroyasha under the banner of Buddhism."

"This Puxian has already invited his own death!!"

Su Nian narrowed his eyes and said gloomily.

Damn it, by using the opportunity of him going to retrieve a Sun Authority, Puxian could actually pull off such a heaven-shaking stunt; if Puxian were allowed to continue living.

Su Nian dared not imagine what other stunts Puxian could pull off.

Furthermore, it would be bad if Puxian were to discover the plan involving Algol and him.

Therefore, Puxian must die, and must die in a way that leaves nothing behind.

Athena, Mata, and Uesugi Kenshin, who were present, nodded one after another, as if they were Su Nian's fanatics.

Judging by the atmosphere at this moment, it actually seemed as if Su Nian and his group were the villains.

Hmm... it seems they are the villains, actually; never mind, it's not important.

"Mata, how is the power control of the Heavenly Army by you Twelve Heavenly Generals currently?"

Su Nian tapped the armrest lightly and asked indifferently.

"Because the vast majority of God Groups have gone to participate in the God Slayer War, the power of the Heavenly Army has temporarily fallen under our control."

"However, this is only temporary; when the number of Gods and Buddhas who have exited the stage increases, the power will flow back."

Mata pushed up the glasses that had appeared on the bridge of her nose at some point and said very seriously.

Su Nian looked at Mata and blinked in bewilderment; wait, when did you change your clothes?

It was clearly a casual long dress just a moment ago, so how did it suddenly turn into a lady's office suit? And she even put on a pencil skirt.

Did you switch jobs to become a secretary so quickly?

Inexplicably, Su Nian had a feeling that he had been schemed against by that old geezer Indra again.

Damn it, I'll bully your daughter to get revenge later!!

Su Nian gnashed his teeth viciously.

I'll let you off this time, you old geezer.

"Then wouldn't it be fine if we just didn't let the power flow away?"

Su Nian narrowed his eyes, seemingly having thought of something.

"It is very difficult to achieve this, because the Heavenly Army belongs to a mixed God Group, with power distribution decided by the 10,081 upper-level councilors of the Council of Gods and over a million lower-level councilors."

"Among them, the lower-level councilors hold half the power."

Mata looked at Su Nian with a smile and explained indifferently.

It's really good, young people still have drive; Indra really didn't choose wrong for this candidate for Lord of the Heavenly Army, it's just a pity that he is a bit too green.

Her implication was simple: the Twelve Heavenly Generals are just an executive department; what determines the direction of the Heavenly Army is the Council of Gods, and the power of the lower-level councilors is too scattered.

And the power of the lower-level councilors is the true base of those God Groups, an unshakable iron-clad voting bloc; even if one wanted to change the term, the number of over a million is enough to make people shrink back.

"Then what if I said I could control the lower-level councilors of Buddhism?"

Su Nian took a light sip of tea and said calmly.

It is much easier to cause Demon Fall in those lower-level councilors than in the Gods and Buddhas of Spirit Mountain; after all, the vast majority of those lower-level councilors are Five-digit, with at most a few Four-digit ones.

Upon hearing this, a strange look could not help but flash in Mata's eyes, and her gaze toward Su Nian became increasingly gentle.

Perhaps, he really could return Little Garden to the state it was in during the initial Dawn Period.

The Gods and Buddhas in Little Garden at that time thought very simply; they just wanted to use Little Garden, this multi-dimensional convergence device, to guide Human History forward.

"That is enough; Buddhism accounts for more than half of the lower-level councilors, and with a quarter of the votes, plus those who are vacant due to participating in the God Slayer War, it is enough for us to complete absolute control over the Heavenly Army."

Mata said confidently; if they couldn't even achieve this, then how could they still be called the Twelve Heavenly Generals?

"By the way, I almost forgot, there is one more piece of news I haven't told you."

The corners of Su Nian's mouth curled into a mysterious arc.

"I believe everyone knows that Algol has become a Three-digit Exceptional, right? Her truth, 【Reverse Demon of All Gods】, has the effect of causing people to undergo Demon Fall."

"And those people in Buddhism can consume resources and Merit to maintain their glamorous appearance on the surface while they are undergoing Demon Fall."

"I think everyone should understand what I mean now, right?"

In the Heavenly Army, Buddhism occupies more than half of the seats and power, whether in the upper or lower levels.

And with the speed at which Buddhism consumes resources, they will naturally loot as much as they can, not to mention that they need Merit at this time to ensure that the truth of their fall into Demon Fall does not get exposed.

"So, it is time to deal with the corruption problem in the Heavenly Army."
