Little Garden 46-50

Title: You Call This Five-Digit?

Sunlight fell upon the desert.

Aslan looked up at the sun directly overhead, then lowered his gaze into the distance.

Before his eyes, a colossal tree thousands of meters tall stood upright.

The giant tree was golden, each leaf like a golden fireball, radiating scorching heat.

This place was Karyou’s Game Field.

It was the arena Karyou used as her Game Field, and a place where high-level gods like them could unleash their full power.

Right now, Aslan lightly stepped onto the ground. Although the soil was dry yellow, it wasn’t overly dry—it was slightly soft.

There seemed to be an underground river beneath it.

“Did she just use an entire planet as her Game Field?”

“That’s too wasteful.”

Aslan said with slight annoyance. Why didn’t he use the Desolate Star with more extreme conditions as his Game Field?

Why use a planet full of life?

This planet was perfect for agriculture.

It was a huge waste to use it for fighting.

Yet Aslan didn’t have much time to feel annoyed. He could only try to minimize the damage.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

At the same time, outside the arena, in No Name’s reception room.

Shiroyasha heard that Aslan’s training had ended and he would fight Karyou. She hurried over to intervene.

She clapped her hands, and a glowing screen opened before everyone.

“Leticia, tell me—who will win this battle?”

Shiroyasha cupped her face, watching the scene on the screen, and asked Leticia.

For the past month, she’d been busy drinking with that old bird and hadn’t paid much attention to Aslan’s growth.

“Hard to say. But I lean toward Karyou. Although Master has extremely powerful Gifts and a superior physique, his experience is still too lacking.”

Leticia shook her head and said. After all, the Roc Demon King had once caused chaos in the heavenly palace alongside Sun Wukong, and she was a long-renowned Demon King.

Whereas Aslan was just someone who had arrived in Little Garden less than a month ago.

Although his Gifts were strong, how could he use them without sufficient experience?

Not to mention Karyou’s Divinity was now very close to an overpowered Four-Digit.

Originally, she might have needed a bit more time, but to keep up with Aslan’s learning speed,

She’d been forced to train hard for a month, and her Divinity had unexpectedly swollen.

She’d seen too many people lose their lives from overconfidence in their Gift power.

“Yet, I think it’ll end in a draw?”

Shiroyasha said with a smile, then told Leticia to keep watching.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

In the Game Field.

Aslan stood on the yellow soil, looking up at the giant divine tree before him.

In the sky, Karyou, shrouded in golden flames, looked down at Aslan with arrogance.

She said haughtily,

“I want to see who’ll make who kneel and beg for mercy!”

She considered herself no weaker than an overpowered Four-Digit in combat strength—only her Divinity was slightly lacking.

Now, that Divinity gap would soon be filled.

“Then, let’s go!”

The next second, a large hand instantly grabbed Karyou’s wrist.

Aslan showed no mercy at all, immediately slamming Karyou hard into the ground.

“You—you can’t be a Five-Digit!”

Karyou felt her head spinning and cursed inwardly.

“But I am a Five-Digit?”

Aslan shrugged and said.

Although he held two Divinities, and his body could explode a planet. Even if he fell into the sun, he wouldn’t be injured at all.

But this didn’t change the fact that he was classified as a Five-Digit by Little Garden’s Central Core.

“Certified by Little Garden’s Central Core.”

“You call someone who holds two Divinities, Divinities comparable to a Four-Digit, and a physique matching a Star Spirit, a Five-Digit?”

Normally she wouldn’t notice. Only during a real fight did Karyou realize Aslan’s strange situation.

His Divinity scale exceeded Four-Digit. His physique also reached Four-Digit level, and he had Divinity.

“You call this Five-Digit?”

Karyou now really wanted to curse. Little Garden’s Central Core, are you an idiot?

Of course, Aslan was now a boundary-exceeding Five-Digit—a rarity even rarer than overpowered Four-Digits.

After all, what was the point of being stuck at Five-Digit? The combat power of an overpowered Five-Digit was at best Four-Digit level.

But if someone wanted to be an overpowered Five-Digit, why not just become an overpowered Four-Digit?

That would be more meaningful.

So generally, in Little Garden, there were only overpowered Four-Digits and overpowered Three-Digits. No overpowered Five-Digits.

“Five-Digit certified by Little Garden’s Central Core. Any problem?”

Aslan put one hand in his pants pocket and looked at her with a confident smile.

“Hehe.”

Karyou sneered and brushed the dust off her body.

“Do you really think I believe you?”

If not for Karyou seeing with her own eyes how Aslan evolved from a Five-Digit who didn’t even know what a Divinity was, to this state in just one month,

She’d slightly suspect Aslan was a reincarnated God King walking the earth.

Was the effect of achievements this strong? No wonder so many existences chased achievements.

“So, are we fighting or not?”

Aslan looked at Karyou, who wasn’t moving, and asked in confusion.

“No, I won’t fight. There’s no point fighting someone as abnormal as you.”

Karyou shook her head and sighed.

“I surrender.”

Fight? Fight what?

She, Karyou, Great Sage who Leaves Heaven in Disarray, Roc Demon King, daughter of the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan.

The speed and strength from the lineage of the strongest species were already unmatched in Little Garden. Not to mention she also mastered the Golden Wing Flame, the highest-level divine fire.

She believed she wouldn’t lose even against an overpowered Four-Digit. Let alone she was now just one step away from becoming an overpowered Four-Digit.

But now, she’d suffered a defeat in her life.

In speed, Aslan’s Space Divinity was no worse than hers. In strength, Aslan also had a physique comparable to a Four-Digit Star Spirit, leaning more toward Sun Star Spirit.

The Golden Wing Flame couldn’t burn Aslan. The Golden Wing Flame could fight gods and dragons, but Aslan’s current attributes leaned more toward Star Spirit—he was a Sun Star Spirit.

Even his Divinity—Aslan was the god’s follower of a Sun Star Spirit.

The effect was minimal.

If they truly fought, Aslan might not feel too good, but the losses would be far greater.

This was her Game Field. If it got destroyed, Aslan wouldn’t replace it.

“So, does this mean I win?”

After exiting the Game Field, Aslan stroked his chin and asked curiously.

“No, it’s a draw.”

Karyou thought of something, her face turned red, and she stubbornly said.

She still didn’t want to get married so soon.

-

Title: Conditions for Promotion to Four-Digit

Although she still had many reluctant feelings about marriage, Karyou now felt somewhat resigned.

What else could she do but accept it?

She didn’t think she could resist the clan elders with her small arms.

Her father had thought the same way back then, but hadn’t he still been forced to find a wife?

Now both her father and mother were pressuring her together.

Sighing, Karyou looked at Aslan with complex eyes.

She didn’t know what to do.

In fact, if Aslan insisted, this battle was actually her defeat.

After all, she was the one who ended the fight first, which could be considered surrender.

But if that happened, she truly would have to marry him.

However, Aslan didn’t care much about the outcome of this fight.

He looked at Leticia, who sat there waiting to evaluate his performance.

But Aslan was surprised to find another figure beside Leticia.

“Hey, Boss, when did you get here?”

“I came after hearing your training was finished.”

Shiroyasha looked at Aslan and nodded in satisfaction. On the other hand, Karyou, watching from afar through Shiroyasha, was also very pleased.

Was there a more satisfying fiancé than this?

Aslan had just arrived in Little Garden, already saved a world. Now, with a Five-Digit body, he held two Divinities. His Gift wasn’t weaker than the Genome Tree.

If he trained and grew for a few hundred more years, wouldn’t he become another Kasukabe Koumei?

But as she looked at Aslan, Shiroyasha couldn’t help but show a confused expression.

“Don’t move yet, let me examine you carefully.”

Shiroyasha circled around Aslan several times. She even pinched his cheek.

After thoroughly inspecting Aslan’s current state, Shiroyasha spoke strangely.

“It shouldn’t be like this? Why haven’t you become a Four-Digit yet?”

Shiroyasha asked in confusion.

“Your Spirit Status has reached Four-Digit scale. Your physique matches a Four-Digit Star Spirit. And you hold two Divinities.”

There were three conditions for becoming Four-Digit: Spirit Status reaching Four-Digit scale, physique meeting requirements, and mastering one Divinity.

With these, one could ascend to Four-Digit.

But Aslan now met all conditions, yet in Little Garden’s Central Core’s evaluation, he was still Five-Digit.

This confused Shiroyasha.

Facing Shiroyasha’s question, Aslan thought for a moment and gave his answer.

“Could it be that the Gift expanded from my Spirit Status hasn’t reached Four-Digit level?”

In fact, space manipulation wasn’t a Gift expanded from Aslan’s Spirit Status. It was an ability developed due to the Divinity granted by Shiroyasha.

The Gift actually expanded from Aslan’s Spirit Status was Magic: The Gathering.

“And, I’m a Planeswalker. I need to travel to different worlds. That could also be one reason.”

Most importantly, Aslan felt something was wrong with his Planeswalker Spark. At least until his Planeswalker Spark was complete,

He estimated he couldn’t ascend to Four-Digit.

Hearing Aslan’s analysis, Shiroyasha nodded in agreement.

After all, she’d never experienced how to ascend to Four-Digit herself.

She was born a Two-Digit from the Heliocentric Theory. Where would she get Four-Digit experience?

As for Leticia, expecting experience from someone who became the highest-level Dragon Knight and reached Four-Digit at age twelve?

Although she previously separated her Divinity—too lazy, and to lower her rank, she separated most of her Divinity.

Her rank dropped to Five-Digit.

But as long as she had enough time, returning to Four-Digit wasn’t difficult for her.

She’d already re-woven the Shadow Divinity lost from the previous Divinity separation.

As for Kurousagi, she was a naturally born Four-Digit god. Don’t expect her to have experience.

“That’s possible.”

Shiroyasha nodded in agreement. Who knew how Little Garden’s Central Core evaluated things?

After all, among upper-level beings, it was common knowledge that Little Garden’s Central Core was an idiot.

It pointed to lucky Hermes.

Hermes Trismegistus, founder of the occultism, alchemy, and astrology Trinity.

This Divinity somehow ended up with lucky Hermes.

Instantly elevating him, a Four-Digit God King, to Three-Digit.

Moreover, the complete form of this Divinity was comparable to Vishnu’s One-Digit Divinity.

It could be said Hermes luckily found a path to One-Digit.

Though the chance of completing it was nearly zero.

So Shiroyasha wasn’t too surprised by Aslan’s state.

“By the way, the Rex community you requested is ready.”

Building a community normally wasn’t troublesome.

Swearing to Little Garden’s Central Core, reporting to the Floor Master, and preparing funds to buy land.

But Aslan asked Shiroyasha to have Rex, the community he founded, join the Thousand Eyes Alliance.

Then sell some artifact cards he made, or mass-producible local products he obtained from other worlds.

No Name had no flag or name, so it lacked the qualification to sell and participate in Large-Scale Gift Games.

So Aslan made one himself.

“I’m troubling you, Boss.”

Aslan thanked her and tossed an artifact card to Shiroyasha.

Just like before, this disposable storage item instantly became a bestseller upon appearance.

If not for only Aslan being able to make it with his Gift, Thousand Eyes would probably have tried to buy Magic Cards.

Clearly, Magic Cards could only be made by Aslan. Their value greatly decreased.

Aslan was Shiroyasha’s god’s follower, so he still gained much profit from Magic Cards.

Even in Little Garden, Aslan could be said to be quite wealthy.

Though this wealth had been used by Shiroyasha as her emergency piggy bank. When she couldn’t use Thousand Eyes’ public funds, Shiroyasha used Aslan’s money.

For that, Shiroyasha explained that as a god’s follower, he had the duty to support his Master.

Though after using it, Shiroyasha would also use Thousand Eyes’ public funds to repay it.

“By the way, Boss, I plan to go to another world again, and observe other worlds.”

Aslan also felt Little Garden was now a bit too quiet, and staying in No Name was slightly boring.

So he wanted to go out and cause trouble, and observe other worlds.

“Observing worlds can trigger a Historical Transition Period, but don’t provoke or alter established history.”

Shiroyasha hit Aslan’s head hard and reminded him.

Authority over established history lay with major divine groups. Trying to change history meant challenging those divine groups and demanding they spit out the achievements they’d already swallowed.

The last ones who nearly succeeded were the Seven Great Sages. And the consequence was, from the Seven Great Sages, two were lost.

The only one who successfully changed history was under the threat of Anti-Utopia.

Though the gains from changing history were enormous, it was safer to trigger a Historical Transition Period in an uncertain future.

-

Title: You Damn Bastard, Just Die!

“Of course I know this.”

Aslan nodded seriously. Not only Shiroyasha had warned him about these things, but Leticia as well.

Of course, he knew what was more important.

If he encountered a world still in ancient times, and very similar to Pan-Human History,

He only needed to ask Little Garden’s Central Core to observe it. Mixing in achievements from observing a new world would be sufficient.

As for worlds that weren’t part of Pan-Human History, Aslan could do whatever he wanted. Even if observed, it wouldn’t affect Little Garden’s gods.

To explain it more clearly: one Worldline is a single thread, and Pan-Human History is a rope made of many Worldlines gathered together.

And a Historical Transition Period is the knot binding these Worldlines.

A future Historical Transition Period ties a new knot, bringing new possibilities for future historical convergence—thus permitted by Little Garden’s gods.

Whereas a past Historical Transition Period is an already-tied knot. Once altered, it would cause large-scale historical changes.

Thus, the difficulty was extremely high, and the impact was massive.

It was not allowed by the gods. If it happened, at least one Three-Digit God King would act to eliminate that possibility.

That is, simultaneously destroying the world involved.

As for worlds outside Pan-Human History, they were separate Worldlines. In any case, they wouldn’t affect the main Pan-Human History, so doing anything was fine.

But for that, Aslan could only say—it was truly regrettable.

“You just need to master the limits.”

“Don’t worry, no problem.”

Aslan gave a thumbs-up and said.

“By the way, Old Roc King seems to have business with me. I’ll go first.”

After warning Aslan, Shiroyasha also received an invitation from Karyou’s father.

Seemed he was inviting her to set the wedding date. After all, Shiroyasha was, in a sense, Aslan’s elder.

He couldn’t wait to have a grandchild.

“Boss, see you later.”

After saying goodbye to Shiroyasha, Aslan immediately found a sofa and sat down.

“Finally, I can rest a bit.”

“Master, when do you plan to go to another world?”

Leticia asked curiously. She was quite clear about how her Master returned.

It was because Aslan gained his first benefit by observing another world that he could return to his former community.

Although ownership rights now belonged to Aslan.

“In a few days. I’ve been busy for a month, so I’ll rest for a few days first.”

Aslan lay on the sofa in a relaxed position and said lazily.

Not only was Karyou tortured for a month—Aslan himself was also severely tortured for a month to maximize his achievement usage.

Double physical and mental torture—it was truly hell within hell.

On the other hand, Karyou stared at Aslan strangely.

She tried to speak several times, but no sound came out.

“Karyou, do you have something with me? You keep staring.”

Being constantly stared at by Karyou, Aslan also felt strange. Even he felt slightly uncomfortable resting comfortably.

He felt a chill.

He didn’t seem to have offended Karyou anywhere, right? Except when he slammed her earlier?

“No...”

Karyou sighed. Though she wanted to say nothing, she still couldn’t let it go so easily.

“It’s just... about the result of our earlier fight, don’t you want to say anything?”

Aslan looked at her strangely, then finally understood.

So this little girl was worried about that.

“What is there to say? Wasn’t it a draw?”

“Even if we kept fighting, wouldn’t the final result still be a draw? What else could change?”

Both knew each other’s strength well. They couldn’t injure each other, nor could either catch up to the other.

The end result would only be a martial arts battle.

Of course, Karyou’s martial arts weren’t bad, but Aslan’s physical condition was stronger.

As for using Space Divinity to attack? Aslan’s Space Divinity was a Divinity leaning toward physical level.

Whereas Karyou could easily transform into Golden Wing Flame and move at light speed.

Once she detected abnormal spatial fluctuations, she’d escape.

Aslan couldn’t yet hide the spatial fluctuations from large-scale Space Divinity attacks.

In the end, there would be no result other than a draw.

“But... I surrendered?”

Karyou said awkwardly. She always kept her promises. Since Aslan did what he said,

She naturally had to accept the result.

“So, you really want to marry me?”

The corner of Aslan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. He held his forehead and said somewhat confused.

He hadn’t even started his harem yet, and he was about to enter the marriage grave this quickly?

“I don’t want to enter the marriage grave this quickly.”

“At least I should wait until I get Leticia and Kurousagi, then we can talk about marriage.”

“Hmm?”

Leticia turned, looking at Aslan with confusion and disgust.

“Although ownership of me belongs to Master, Master cannot command me to do indecent things.”

“That’s a rule written into Little Garden’s Central Core.”

“It’s to prevent people like you.”

“And if Master wants to fulfill your needs, I have a membership card to the Bar of Great Bird’s Turning. Want it?”

After hearing Aslan’s words, Karyou couldn’t help but spit, then cursed.

“You damn bastard, just die!”

The next second, a blazing clump of Golden Wing Flame instantly stuck to Aslan’s face. The entire No Name reception room was completely burned down.

“Seriously, how can you call me a bastard?”

“This is me being honest with my desires. I’m sincere.”

Aslan pushed up his monocle glasses and said confidently.

As for Karyou, she scoffed coldly and said with slight disgust.

“Hmph, sincere? I think you’re a bastard.”

She had finally softened a little, ready to accept reality.

But Aslan had just destroyed her fantasy of future married life.

She softened once, but you made me lose so badly.

She admitted it—she regretted it.

“Clearly, someone who already has a wife but secretly seeks other women is the bastard.”

“I’m open about it. I’m sincere. I’m noble.”

Aslan said stubbornly.

“Ugh, you damn bastard!”

As for what Aslan said, she didn’t believe a single word. Karyou didn’t care. To her, he was a bastard.

Although Little Garden’s culture was indeed like this—strong men never lacked wives.

Even her older brother, Ox Demon King, already had a child. Didn’t he still keep a concubine, Jade-Faced Vixen?

But did that mean it was always like that?

Karyou didn’t care. She didn’t care what others thought.

Anyway, Aslan was a bastard.

Title: A Little Sakura Falling into His Arms

1989, Fuyuki City.

Matou Zouken, head of one of the two greatest Magus families in this city—the Matou family—was in an exceptionally good mood today.

In this city, every sixty years, a magical ritual unknown to ordinary people would be held.

Seven pairs of Masters and Servants would fight each other, with the losers as offerings, until finally the Holy Grail was summoned.

Of course, since this ritual was established by Magi, what was summoned was certainly not the Holy Relic of the Son of God.

Yet its function was in no way inferior to legend. Though it was called the Holy Grail, it was also a wish-granting machine capable of fulfilling any desire.

Judging by the timeline, the Fourth Holy Grail War seemed to be approaching soon.

Perhaps less than a year before its official start.

However, for this Fourth Holy Grail War, Zouken had already given up hope.

The Matou family—or rather, the Zolgen family—had entered Fuyuki City as outsiders.

But Magecraft was deeply tied to the living environment. After hundreds of years of evolution, a phenomenon of incompatibility had finally emerged in this generation.

The family’s Magic Crest was regressing.

Yet this was a natural situation.

After all, originally, no one could have predicted that over these hundreds of years, the Holy Grail ritual had never truly been completed.

Taking so long, even the Magus bloodline was nearly extinct.

Even in the generation after Zouken’s son, their Magic Circuits were blocked from birth, making them unable to become Magi.

Therefore, in this Fourth Holy Grail War, the Matou family could not field a new pawn and thus could not participate naturally.

However, unexpectedly, the Tohsaka family—also a Magus family and one of the three founding families of the Holy Grail ritual—had a promising junior.

Both of Tohsaka Tokiomi’s daughters were Magi of exceptional talent, but the Tohsaka family’s Magic Crest could only be inherited by one person.

Thus, to avoid wasting his daughter’s talent and coinciding with the Matou family’s bloodline extinction, Tokiomi adopted one of his daughters, Tohsaka Sakura, to Zouken.

No, she should now be called Matou Sakura.

“The Einzbern lineage has promising juniors. At least their bloodline thrives generation after generation.”

“But sometimes being too extraordinary isn’t a good thing. Do you agree, Sakura?”

The old man with a strange, distorted appearance looked down at the little girl beside him from head to toe, satisfaction in his eyes.

Due to the rules of this world, mystery attracts mystery. And Sakura, possessing such extraordinary talent, would never escape the fate of mystery.

However, Sakura, still just a little girl, certainly didn’t understand this.

She could only follow behind Zouken in fear. After all, she had been abandoned by her parents.

“Hehe~ don’t be afraid, Sakura. From today, you are my granddaughter. I’m sure you’ll like your new name, Matou Sakura. It sounds much better than Tohsaka Sakura.”

“However, before that, I think we need to perform a small ritual.”

Zouken smiled strangely and pulled Sakura deeper into the Matou Manor.

Hearing this, Sakura’s small body couldn’t help but tremble. She instinctively shrank back, but due to her nature, combined with the strong anxiety and fear in her heart, she forcibly stopped her movement and bowed her head in place.

Yet how could Zouken care about Sakura’s thoughts? Under his firm grip, which even hurt Sakura.

In the end, Sakura still walked down this path.

Only, Zouken’s rough manner made Sakura feel even more uncomfortable.

“G-Grandfather, where are we going?”

“We’ve arrived, Sakura. Don’t be afraid.”

Zouken comforted her in a tone that was extremely creepy. Though it wouldn’t help much, it would only make Sakura even more frightened.

After seeing the scene below the stairs, the girl’s eyes widened. Fear couldn’t stop pouring out.

Though not explicitly explained, as long as they saw the scene below, anyone could predict what would happen next.

It was thousands of insects.

A pond filled with insects—various distorted, crawling, writhing insects—so repulsive that no human could accept it, either physically or psychologically.

Disgusting?

It had long surpassed the simple definition of disgusting.

“Now then, Sakura, step down.”

“Eh?”

Hearing Zouken’s command, Sakura froze for a moment. Perhaps due to panic, or perhaps due to Zouken’s slight movement.

Sakura made a small movement to turn around and accidentally slipped and fell.

Below was a swarm of terrifying insects.

Just as Sakura was about to hit the ground, a golden figure suddenly appeared.

He confusedly caught the falling little girl.

Sakura lifted her head, looked at the person holding her, and tightly gripped his collar, refusing to let go.

“B-Big brother, can you not drop me?”

Sakura gently bit her lip, terrified that even this last hope would leave her.

Afraid she would become useless and be dropped into the swarm of Crest Worms.

“Don’t worry, I won’t drop you.”

“So, where was I sent to this time?”

Aslan was also slightly confused, holding the little girl he had just caught, gently patting her back to calm her.

“Eh? What disgusting filth is this!”

Even Aslan felt extremely nauseated by the writhing, crawling, distorted Crest Worms, resembling some formless creatures.

He gently stomped his foot. Sacred flames rose from Aslan’s side.

In an instant, all the insects and disgusting filth around him—existences that made people physically uncomfortable—were completely burned away.

“Old man insect?”

The disgusting Crest, the frightened little girl, and the old man holding a cane, emanating an aura that made one want to vomit.

Though Aslan wasn’t a Moon Cell otaku, he realized which world he had come to.

“What business do you have with my granddaughter, sir?”

Zouken looked at Aslan and unconsciously stepped back several paces.

That earlier fire—even just seeing it—made him feel his soul burning.

Every insect in his body reminded him to flee immediately, as if as long as Aslan turned his gaze toward him,

They would be completely incinerated.

“Isn’t it natural for a Servant to protect their Master?”

Aslan calmed Sakura while casually setting up a Barrier.

Title: Thus, I Became the Knight of the Queen

A few minutes earlier.

Inside the Garden of Dreams.

A woman with shimmering golden hair and gem-like red eyes picked up an exquisite, elegant teacup and lightly laughed.

“It seems Shiroyasha’s new god’s follower isn’t a peaceful character.”

“He’s already preparing to keep observing other worlds again?”

Beside the golden-haired woman, a cold-faced woman in a maid’s uniform said not a word.

At this moment, the golden-haired woman picked up a photograph. She looked at the handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, and the petite girl in a kimono proudly sitting on his back, and spoke with amusement.

“Though it’s a reasonable choice—having a Boundary Gift but choosing to stay under Lord Shiroyasha—it really displeases me.”

“Scáthach.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“This child seems about to go to another world again. Go wait for his return and make him your disciple.”

Queen Halloween elegantly sipped her red tea and laughed cheerfully.

“And invite him again. Leaving such a powerful hero under Shiroyasha is somewhat wasteful.”

“I understand.”

After sending her knight away, Queen Halloween held the teacup in one hand and cupped her face with the other, gazing at the photo on the table.

“Someone who makes Shiroyasha care so deeply—if I steal him, that woman’s expression must be absolutely delightful?”

Accompanied by light laughter, the black-haired, black-eyed man in the photo, amidst golden flames, gradually transformed into gold.

The photo also changed into a golden-haired man swearing loyalty to her.

“I really wonder what expression Shiroyasha will show when she sees her god’s follower become my knight?”

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

On the other hand, in endless darkness, chaos, and void.

Aslan, walking outside the endless worlds and universes, couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead.

“It’s done. What should I do now?”

Different from his previous black hair and eyes, Aslan’s black hair had now transformed into golden hair like a lion’s mane.

Even his original pair of black eyes, under the effect of the Divinity, had changed into deep blue eyes as if hiding the entire sky.

Aslan pulled out the discount card somewhat helplessly. It was the Boundary Gate discount card Queen Halloween had given him. He could use Boundary Gates for free and go anywhere.

With a little effort, this discount card turned to ash and drifted into the endless void.

“I know, Queen Halloween isn’t that easy to deceive or give up.”

Aslan sighed deeply. He gathered Spark power and looked at his changed Divinity.

With a ruthless heart, he used intent as a knife and quickly transformed this inherited Arthur Divinity into a special Planeswalker card.

Who would have thought Queen Halloween, unable to recruit him, would immediately resort to force?

Aslan thought it was just a discount card mocked by Shiroyasha as a beggar-repelling card. Who knew it contained the inherited Arthur Divinity?

In Little Garden, there was a person named Arthur. He was the knight summoned by Queen Halloween back then.

When summoning Arthur, she accidentally summoned Kasukabe Koumei.

But this didn’t mean King Arthur was weak. On the contrary, Arthur in Little Garden participated in the conquest of the Anti-Utopia Demon Lord.

After making achievements, he was killed by Anti-Utopia.

His Divinity was transformed by Queen Halloween into an inherited Divinity. Whoever inherited Arthur’s Divinity would become the leader of her Avalon community.

Currently, she held the position herself.

As for Avalon, it was a community inheriting the name and Gifts of the Knights of the Round Table.

Every knight in that community was an elite Four-Digit hero.

It was the training base for Queen Halloween’s future knights.

The most famous and strongest among them was the Arthur Divinity. At least Aslan had never heard of Queen Halloween allowing anyone to hold the Arthur position.

Even the records in Laplace’s Glasses stated that because King Arthur’s achievements were too astonishing, Queen Halloween didn’t plan to let anyone else inherit his position.

One could say that even compared to Koumei and Canaria, Arthur was in no way inferior.

The only regret was that with Canaria cheating history to defeat Anti-Utopia, altering history hid too many things.

Yet even now, Arthur was still sung of. This showed how astonishing his achievements were.

Aslan shook his head. He didn’t want to inherit this Divinity and become a toy in the rivalry between Queen Halloween and Shiroyasha.

Queen Halloween might train him well, but Shiroyasha treated him better.

Aslan absolutely couldn’t betray Shiroyasha.

“Tsk, can only say—deservedly she’s Queen Halloween?”

Aslan looked at the Planeswalker card made from the cut Arthur Divinity. He narrowed his eyes.

A piece of information appeared in his mind.

“A very dirty game. She actually used the promise of fixing Spark as bait.”

His Spark wasn’t complete. This was something Aslan realized when he tried to ascend to Four-Digit.

But how to complete the Spark, Aslan had no idea.

He’d only met Queen Halloween once, yet she’d already found his problem.

Truly deserved to be Little Garden’s most successful Problem Child.

“Did she already predict I’d refuse?”

Queen Halloween said everything, yet said nothing.

“But if it’s like this, I truly can’t refuse.”

Aslan lowered his head helplessly and muttered softly.

Queen Halloween truly offered a price he couldn’t possibly refuse.

But he also couldn’t truly betray Shiroyasha and fully side with Queen Halloween.

“Huh, headache. Seems this is the only way.”

Aslan sighed and held the Planeswalker card made from the inherited Arthur Divinity.

For Aslan, a Planeswalker card was like another account. After being verified by Shiroyasha,

Even a Two-Digit couldn’t find the connection to the changed account.

“At worst, I’ll just tear one card.”

Aslan’s idea was very simple. The main Planeswalker account would still follow Shiroyasha.

As Shiroyasha’s god’s follower, he must be loyal.

Whereas the secondary account made with Arthur’s Divinity would go to Queen Halloween and become her knight.

But this also carried risks. Aslan could only hope Queen Halloween, being whimsical, would approve this matter for greater amusement.

The worst outcome was him truly breaking with Queen Halloween and explaining everything to Shiroyasha.

Better to inform the Boss in advance.

Then Aslan casually selected a world and entered it.

In the end, he caught the falling Sakura and cleaned away the insects.
