Chapter 422: The Queen's Few Advantages

In an instant, Kudou Asuka suddenly felt she could empathize with Izayoi Sakamaki.

This feeling of having one's fate toyed with by others at will was truly terrible.

"Just how malicious is the personality of that person called the Queen, to actually enjoy watching the spectacle of sisters killing each other!"

Kudou Asuka couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this, Su Nian smiled and clapped his hands.

"Congratulations, you guessed right. The Queen's personality really is just that malicious, and you're quite brave, actually daring to criticize the Queen's personality."

Su Nian looked at Kudou Asuka with the gaze one would give a hero, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

As a willful and capricious Queen, the biggest Problem Child of Little Garden, she was the most difficult existence to get along with, one whose personality even Canary couldn't quite grasp.

The Halloween Queen's heart was not as broad as Shiroyasha's; on the contrary, the Halloween Queen was very vengeful.

Kudou Asuka felt even more annoyed by this; she crossed her arms and spoke with a very displeased expression.

"Why can't one speak just because her personality is malicious? A Demon King who likes to watch sisters kill each other?"

Kudou Asuka was not the type to bow and scrape before others just because they were powerful or had a malicious personality; on the contrary, as a young lady of a financial conglomerate, she possessed her own unique sense of justice and pride.

"You can say it, but the premise is that you can bear the price of saying it."

Su Nian shrugged casually; he could only offer a certain amount of encouragement for Kudou Asuka's "courage."

Instantly, Kudou Asuka stopped talking; she finally realized that this was Little Garden, where gods and demons roamed and absolute power belonged to oneself.

It was not the outside world where not everyone was a mortal, and only she possessed superpowers.

The so-called equality before firearms in the outside world, where everyone only had one life, did not apply in Little Garden.

One had to know that Su Nian had just casually given away three custom worlds equivalent to Earth; what kind of monster was the existence Su Nian called the Queen?

"Finally realized it? Young lady? This is the real Little Garden!"

Watching Kudou Asuka, who had gradually calmed down and was no longer hot-headed, Izayoi Sakamaki laughed and said.

Canary had once taken her traveling all over the world, to battlefields, seen cults, and also seen the ugly faces of politicians and capitalists.

She would not think that Little Garden, where gods and demons roamed, would be any cleaner than the outside world; the sins, filth, and grime that should be there would not be lacking in the slightest.

It was even more bottomless, dirtier, and more despairing than the outside world.

This was also what Canary had truly taught her: the world is never beautiful, but it will never lack true moments of being moved.

Accept the world's imperfections, and face everything that moves you with spontaneity.

"Sorry, but I won't give in to her because of this."

The only reason Kudou Asuka kept her mouth shut was because she was worried that her remarks might bring disaster upon Su Nian or Arcadia.

It was not that she had given in to the Halloween Queen; her dignity and pride did not allow her to give in to such a malicious person.

Saying this, Kudou Asuka turned around and looked seriously at Feis Leisi.

"If you want revenge, you can take my life now. Although I am sorry for taking away your chance to be born, as sisters, I do not wish for our final ending to be sisters killing each other."

"Alright, it hasn't reached that point yet."

Su Nian clapped his hands, holding back Feis Leisi, who was about to teach Kudou Asuka a lesson.

As the Queen's Knight, Feis Leisi was naturally loyal to the Halloween Queen; if someone insulted the Queen, she would naturally give them the lesson they deserved.

Even if this was a well-known fact.

"Rest assured, although Wansheng likes to watch the fun and look for amusement, there is one thing she does quite well."

"After creating fun, she will also provide the due compensation, and incidentally clean up the mess she created."

Hearing this, Kudou Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she knew in advance now and could prepare ahead of time.

Well, this was also one of the few advantages of the Halloween Queen: before preparing to trap someone, she would lay things out in the open, letting you have some mental preparation.

This way, at least after being trapped, one would feel a little better.

As for whether the Queen could trap others this way? From what Su Nian knew so far, the Halloween Queen didn't seem to have ever missed.

Su Nian looked at Kudou Asuka with a hint of pity, then comforted her.

"Think on the bright side, at least you have met your sister now, haven't you? Every mistake has a chance to be remedied."

Kudou Asuka fell silent; she now felt that she completely couldn't understand the thoughts of these big shots in Little Garden.

Sighing helplessly, she could only follow Black Rabbit with a headache to have their accommodations arranged.

——

On the other side, in the Heavenly Courtyard.

The Halloween Queen, wearing a red dress, and Shiroyasha, in a purple kimono, were sitting under a gazebo, enjoying afternoon tea.

"Hey, blonde, why did you suddenly call me over?"

Shiroyasha, without any refinement, picked up the black tea and gulped it down, then looked unhappily at the Halloween Queen.

Offering favors for no reason usually means there's a hidden motive.

Calling her over for no good reason, this Wansheng person definitely had no good intentions.

"Of course, it's to invite you to watch a good show."

The Halloween Queen took a light sip of black tea; unlike Shiroyasha's gulping, her movements were very elegant, with a faint smile on her face.

As she spoke, the Halloween Queen waved her hand, and a water screen appeared in front of her and Shiroyasha.

And on the water screen was the scene of Izayoi Sakamaki and the others just arriving in Little Garden.

"This is Arcadia's recruitment? Why are you showing me this?"

Shiroyasha looked at the Halloween Queen in confusion; it wasn't as if Su Nian hadn't told her about his own plan, the idea of finding a scapegoat to take the blame for him, and incidentally forcing Buddhism to take a risk and release the Absolute Evil.

Among these few young girls, the more important one was Izayoi Sakamaki, the adopted daughter of that Canary.

The only pity was that Izayoi Sakamaki was truly too flat, completely unable to arouse her interest.

As for the others, as the daughter of Kasukabe Takaaki, Kasukabe Yoh's aptitude can still be considered quite good.

After ten thousand years of tempering, delving deep into the Authority of life, if she is willing to abandon her human identity, perhaps she could become a Three-digit.

However, she still cannot compare to the one beside her, Kudou Asuka, who was born as a natural leader of a God Group.

Yet, the birth of Kudou Asuka is inseparable from them.

Back then, Amaterasu sacrificed the Simulated Star Creation Maps of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and the Takamagahara God Group, and even used the foundation of the Takamagahara God Group—its Cosmology—as the price to forge the Two-digit Polar Star Sword, Kusanagi Sword.

And Amaterasu, who forged the Kusanagi Sword, did one thing immediately after forging it: she audaciously attempted to sever the connection between the sun and humanity.

Then, by doing so, she let herself become the Avatar of the sun, becoming a Sun Star Spirit, and leaping to become a Two-digit.

Then she flopped, wiped out by the Decadent Wind.

Decadent Wind: I thought it was just a speed bump!

As the only two Sun Star Spirits, the provoked Halloween Queen and Shiroyasha attacked together, smashing the remnants of the Takamagahara God Group and incidentally looting most of their wealth and heritage.

They are the culprits who caused the Takamagahara God Group to be demoted to the Japanese Divine Group and become a vassal of Buddhism.

It is precisely because Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen carved up all the inheritance of the Takamagahara God Group that they cut off the succession opportunities for all Divine Spirits who had a chance to inherit the name "Amaterasu."

This is what allowed Kudou Asuka to pick up the bargain and become a God King Candidate.

But that is all there is to it; how many God Groups are there in Little Garden? There are tens of thousands of God Groups, large and small.

Large God Groups like Takamagahara in its peak, with its millions of gods, still need to maintain a humble attitude in front of Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen, otherwise, no one would say a word even if they were wiped out by them.

A mere ordinary God King Candidate, what is the big deal about that?

However, watching Kudou Asuka's performance on the water screen, especially her complaining about the Halloween Queen's nasty personality, could not help but make Shiroyasha nod in satisfaction.

"Yes, that's right, Wansheng's personality is just that nasty."

Shiroyasha shouted with satisfaction, without the slightest desire to hide it, cheering on Kudou Asuka, who could not hear her voice at all.

"It seems you are quite satisfied with Kudou Asuka."

The Halloween Queen smiled and sipped her tea, looking at Shiroyasha and saying pleasantly.

"Then I will reluctantly part with her and give this Kudou Asuka to you."

Hearing this, Shiroyasha instantly became vigilant; she looked at the Halloween Queen and said.

"Hmm? You would be that kind? You would give a God King Candidate to me?"

"And if I am not mistaken, she seems to be the eligible wielder for the Kusanagi Sword in your hands, right? Are you really that willing?"

The Kusanagi Sword, because the Takamagahara God Group was wiped out completely by her and the Halloween Queen, resulted in the Kusanagi Sword having no eligible wielder.

This made this perfectly good Two-digit Polar Star Sword into scrap metal, with no one able to use it.

Of course, it is not that Feis Leisi cannot use it, but as someone who was a failed birth and later reincarnated into the Celtic Divine Group, she is ultimately not as suitable as Kudou Asuka.

It is hard to say whether there might be some big trap in this.

One must know that if she is cultivated properly, she could become a combat force worth half a Two-digit; even she cannot ignore that.

Of course, this is premised on the Halloween Queen being willing to give up the Kusanagi Sword.

"Then what if I say, I intend to give you the Kusanagi Sword as well?"

Hearing this, Shiroyasha reached out her hand without the slightest hesitation and touched the Halloween Queen's forehead.

"You don't have a fever, do you? Why are you spouting such nonsense?"

The Halloween Queen looked at Shiroyasha faintly, then directly chose to raise the temperature of her forehead.

"Hiss~~ Hot, hot, hot!!"

Shiroyasha shook her hand and blew on the hand that had just been burned bright red by the Halloween Queen.

"No? Are you really running a fever?"

"I want to become a true Sun Star Spirit."

The Halloween Queen looked at Shiroyasha, who was shaking her hand there, and said calmly.
