Chapter 406: Now, It Is Time for You, Shiroyasha, to Dedicate Yourself

Arcadia headquarters, inside the conference room.

Canary, having once again assumed the position of Arcadia strategist, patted her own face, attempting to rouse herself from the shock.

She looked at Su Nian, revealing a complex expression.

"You guy, you really are a monster, not like a human at all."

"As expected, the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves before, and the waves before die on the beach."

The dreams she had led the former Arcadia to struggle for a lifetime, and for which countless had sacrificed, were achieved by Su Nian as easily as a stroll in the countryside.

This feeling... is a bit unwilling, but it also seems a bit gratifying.

Over two hundred years, the Arcadia Alliance sacrificed more than eighty percent of its main combat members to barely seal Humanity's Final Trial, the Absolute Evil, Azi Dahaka, yet he was defeated just like that by Su Nian, who had only just arrived in Little Garden.

Moreover, there were zero casualties; now, one only needs to find a pure-blooded human to overcome it.

If only Su Nian had come to Arcadia two hundred years earlier, would there have been such great sacrifices during the original crusade against the Absolute Evil?

And her dream of a Layer Master Alliance—it was achieved silently without Su Nian even having to do much, encountering no resistance whatsoever.

And the Ouroboros, and the God Slayer War, and now the Hydra...

It made it hard for her to imagine that all of this had actually happened within these few months.

"I would very much like to be a human, but in the judgment of Little Garden Central, I am not a human."

Su Nian shrugged helplessly and said. Who knows what his mood was like when he discovered he wasn't human the moment he landed?

"It's said as if having a human identity has some kind of special treatment, except in terms of overcoming Humanity's Final Trial."

Canary curled her lips and said. She had never been able to figure out Little Garden Central's judgment regarding human identity either.

Besides, how many human heroes in Little Garden are looking for a way to shed their human identity?

Little Garden is a paradise for Gods and Buddhas, not a paradise for humans; human identity has no special treatment or bonuses.

Basically, no matter which layer, pure-blooded humans are among the weakest.

Suddenly, Canary curiously ran to Su Nian's side, wrapped her arms around Su Nian's neck, and asked.

"By the way, how is your relationship with the Queen? If you haven't gotten involved with her, I suggest you'd better..."

"What Queen?"

Suddenly, a female voice came from the entrance of the conference room. Scathach, wearing a butler's uniform, walked in from the conference room door.

"Oh? Canary? When did you return from the lower world? Did they agree to let you go?"

Seeing that the person who arrived was Scathach, Canary immediately lost interest and loosened her arms that were wrapped around Su Nian's neck.

"Oh, it's the Queen's number one punching bag. How do you have time to come to Arcadia? Did the Queen bully you so much that you came here to take refuge?"

Scathach looked at Canary with a smile, then turned her head to say to Su Nian.

"It seems Canary is in need of some discipline. Do you want me to help you send Canary to the Queen to be disciplined?"

"I guarantee she'll be obedient after she comes back."

"I'm a bit tempted."

Su Nian looked Canary up and down and said.

"But I have quite a few matters here that require Canary to handle, and Canary is also about to take up the position of Anti-Corruption Inspector of the Heavenly Army..."

"Small problem."

A smile curled at the corners of Scathach's mouth.

"You have to trust in Canary's ability; this amount of workload is still far from reaching Canary's limit."

"She can perfectly well accept discipline while serving as Arcadia's strategist, handling all sorts of miscellaneous affairs, and concurrently holding the duties of an Anti-Corruption Inspector of the Heavenly Army."

"Hiss... that ruthless?"

Canary's complexion became unnatural. Damn it, is she even allowed to rest? She had planned to come here to enjoy her retirement life.

Not to continue struggling after retirement.

Every single one of these tasks would be the death of her, and she's dumping all three on her.

"Can we negotiate?"

Canary asked tentatively.

Scathach was especially happy at this moment, and even her smile became a bit brighter.

"Of course..."

Canary revealed an expectant expression.

"Not possible."

After hearing Scathach's words, Canary's face turned pale.

"Who do you think caused me to become the Queen's chief subordinate? Former Chief Miss?"

At this moment, Su Nian looked at Canary with a strange expression. It really is Canary; this person really doesn't do human things.

"Oh, right, there is one more thing."

Scathach turned her head at this moment and looked at Su Nian.

"The Queen asked me to return this to you, and to ask you when you will be going to the Heavenly Courtyard."

"The Queen said she misses you a little."

Hearing this, Su Nian couldn't help but frown.

"The Queen? Misses Su Nian?"

Canary widened her eyes, her mouth gradually opening, and she looked at Su Nian with an expression of disbelief, looking as if she had been stunned.

She even ignored the thing Scathach mentioned returning to Su Nian.

"What kind of look is that?"

Su Nian, feeling unnatural being stared at by Canary's gaze, said.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see what the guy the Queen has taken a fancy to actually looks like."

As Canary said this, she was already prepared for Scathach to retort.

But after waiting for a long time, the meeting room remained silent.

"Wait... Scathach, why didn't you refute me?"

"My god!! Could it be that the Queen really has taken a fancy to..."

Canary looked at Su Nian with a gaze full of pity and patted Su Nian on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Second Generation, after you die, I will burn paper money for you."

The corners of Su Nian's mouth twitched, and he slapped away Canary's "pig trotter" with a look of disgust.

"Rest assured, I will definitely live longer than you."

At this moment, Scathach glanced at Canary and said crossly.

"To think you would mock the Queen's Knight for not living long; after returning to the Heavenly Courtyard, I will report this truthfully to the Queen."

"Report away, report away; anyway, one doesn't worry when debts are many, and one doesn't itch when lice are many."

Canary sighed in self-abandonment.

"But to think that woman would actually have a man she likes; I really don't know how that guy managed to conquer the Queen?"

"Could it be that he really has something like the systems in web novels?"

"I hope that after the Queen discovers the truth, she will leave him a whole corpse?"

Su Nian, who was being alluded to by Canary, said with a cold expression.

"When you speak, there is no need to use allusions, nor do you need to keep staring at me, and there is no need for you to explain my relationship with Wansheng."

As he spoke, Su Nian took the Mythological Apocrypha he had previously lent to Baiye from Scathach's hand.

Without hesitation, he threw it directly to Canary and said.

"By the way, this thing is lent to you for the time being; I hope you can investigate it thoroughly and correct the corruption within the Heavenly Army."

"I hope you can be fair and impartial, without leaving a shred of sentiment."

Su Nian revealed a faint smile.

Canary naturally understood Su Nian's meaning in a second; they were both old foxes, so a little hint was enough.

It was just to let her investigate to the death, to get to the bottom of it.

There are some things that don't weigh four taels until they are put on the scale, but once on the scale, even a thousand catties cannot hold them up.

What Su Nian wants Canary to do now is to bring those things that cannot be put on the scale out into the sunlight, put them on the scale, and see exactly how much they weigh.

This is to push the Heavenly Army to the brink... no, more accurately, it is scraping the bone to heal the poison.

But can the current Heavenly Army withstand this dose of strong medicine? Can that useless god Indra withstand the pressure?

Canary was very skeptical about this.

Of course, not to mention whether Indra could withstand the pressure, Canary had a feeling that she herself might not be able to withstand the pressure.

However, would Su Nian care about these trivial matters? He brought Canary back just to have her take the blame and handle things for him.

He only cared about assigning tasks; whether Canary could complete them was her own business.

Afterwards, Su Nian tidied up his attire, stood up, glanced at Scathach, and nodded.

"Since Wansheng misses me, I won't dawdle. Let's go, Teacher Scathach."

——

Inside the Heavenly Courtyard, which was covered in a garden of four seasons.

The Halloween Queen, wearing a fiery red dress, sat opposite Baiye, who was wearing a purple kimono.

The Halloween Queen looked at Baiye with a smile; the current Baiye had already retrieved the Spirit Status of Geocentrism.

Having restored her true Two-digit strength of the past, she could use the great power of a Two-digit without needing to deploy Host Authority.

Coupled with the twelve Sun Authority on her body, Baiye was confident that she could suppress the Halloween Queen with one hand.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a Star Spirit before?"

Baiye felt a bit uncomfortable being watched by the Halloween Queen for a moment, and she curled her lips and said.

"I have never seen a Star Spirit as poor as you."

The golden-haired Queen brushed the hair at her temples and chuckled at Baiye.

"Other than the Sun Authority, you can't even take out a single decent Secret Treasure."

The Halloween Queen shook her head gently and smilingly picked up the teapot to fill a cup of tea for Baiye.

Baiye looked at the steaming black tea in front of her, and for some reason, she trembled a little in fear.

Offering favors without a reason—it's either treachery or theft; what exactly is this blonde trying to do?

She looked at the Halloween Queen with vigilance.

"So what if I'm poor? And who said I'm poor? I've been quite rich lately."

Baiye shook her money bag and showed the Halloween Queen the money she had recently earned by selling information with Su Nian.

The Halloween Queen just smiled and said nothing.

The poverty she spoke of regarding Baiye was not this kind of poverty; she meant that Baiye lacked Secret Treasures like the Simulated Star Creation Map that could be called the foundation of a God Group.

That was not something that could be covered by any Gift, divine power, or Authority.

Baiye's heart grew even more panicked.

Finally, after the Halloween Queen took a light sip of tea, she spoke.

"Now, how is Su Nian absorbing that Creation Principle?"

"He has already completely digested it and woven an Authority 【Creation】 that even I find a bit hard to understand."

Baiye answered truthfully, somewhat confused as to what the Halloween Queen meant by asking these things.

"Oh? Is that so?"

The Halloween Queen tapped lightly on the tabletop, lost in thought, her gaze lingering on Shiroyasha for a moment before she spoke.

"It seems the 【Creation Principle】 can no longer provide any help to Su Nian."

The Halloween Queen sighed softly, looked at Shiroyasha with a serious gaze, and said very firmly.

"Now, it is time for you, Shiroyasha, to sacrifice yourself."

Shiroyasha looked at the Halloween Queen with a bewildered expression.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean it's time for me to sacrifice myself?"

The Halloween Queen lifted her chin and said in a very good mood.

"Baiye, you wouldn't want Su Nian's growth rate to slow down, would you?"

"Hm? What does that have to do with me?"

Shiroyasha asked, very puzzled; she could not understand what kind of nonsense the Halloween Queen was up to this time.
