Little Garden 41-45

Title: The Trial from Roc Demon King

Unlike the famous Journey to the West, the Roc Demon King before Aslan was a young girl in her prime.

But come to think of it, even Sun Wukong had become a sister monkey, so it wasn’t too hard to accept Roc Demon King becoming a young girl.

Hearing this, Karyou raised her eyes and stared at Aslan, her tone slightly displeased.

“You want to become my disciple, right?”

Aslan looked at Karyou strangely. He might have known why she had come.

So the teacher who would surely satisfy him, introduced by Shiroyasha, was Karyou.

Looking at the noble yet subtly alluring girl before him, still slightly childish in appearance, Aslan nodded in satisfaction.

In terms of appearance, he was definitely satisfied.

As for her abilities, she was the Great Sage who Leaves Heaven in Disarray—one of the Seven Great Sages—and also the main attacker among them. Her skills were certainly not poor.

One could only say that Shiroyasha was indeed a boss—she truly understood Aslan.

“Yes.”

Aslan nodded. He was very pleased with Karyou as his teacher.

“But becoming my disciple isn’t that easy.”

Seeing this, Karyou scoffed.

“At the very least, you must pass my test.”

Hearing this, Aslan was momentarily startled and said with a strange expression.

“What’s the test about?”

Last night, he had spent the evening in No Name’s library reading the notes on Boundary ability development left behind by Baron La Croix.

He was looking for a subject to test it on.

Karyou calmly raised her right finger and pointed to a distant mountain.

“The test is to use your fastest speed to pick the peach at the peak of that mountain.”

Aslan fell silent for a moment, his expression growing even stranger, and he asked in confusion.

“Are you sure?”

Aslan slightly suspected that Karyou had no idea his ability was space manipulation—namely, the Boundary ability.

Though it looked far, it would only take a few seconds to open a spatial rift.

Karyou nodded and said confidently.

“Of course. A word from the Great Sage who Leaves Heaven in Disarray—even my older sister can’t catch up.”

Seeing this, the corner of Aslan’s mouth couldn’t help but lift, and he smiled.

“Alright.”

Then, right in front of Karyou, Aslan tore open space, reached his hand in, picked the largest and juiciest peach, and handed it to her.

“Hmm~~~~ Eh!”

“No way, why are you the owner of the Boundary Divinity?”

Karyou stared at him in shock, embarrassment quickly flooding her face.

Had she just made a Boundary ability user take such a test?

This would definitely make her look extremely irresponsible, not even knowing her own disciple’s abilities.

(Ah, ah, ah, why didn’t my older sister warn me?)

(What should I say now? This is so embarrassing.)

Especially with Leticia and Kurousagi present as witnesses.

Telling a space-crossing Boundary ability user to go pick fruit made her look utterly foolish.

“Aren’t you Shiroyasha’s god’s follower?”

“Yes, why? Is there a problem?”

Aslan tilted his head, looking at Karyou in confusion. He didn’t understand what she meant.

Karyou fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Could she say she only heard Aslan was a follower of Shiroyasha—that annoying, lewd demon—and didn’t care about the rest?

Aslan’s Divinity was also too deceptive, wasn’t it?

Wasn’t it a Divinity containing fragments of heat and light Divinities?

After all, Shiroyasha was a Sun Star Spirit, so it was natural her bestowed Divinity carried a bit of solar light and heat, right?

But who would have thought Aslan was a Boundary ability user?

Yet, the number of Boundary ability users in Little Garden was too small. Shiroyasha couldn’t even find a suitable person to teach Aslan.

No one knew if Baron La Croix was alive or dead—exiled to the outer world or already gone.

So Shiroyasha had to strengthen Aslan from other aspects.

Leticia would teach Aslan martial arts, and Karyou would teach him magic and develop his heat system abilities.

Best of all, if he could learn the Golden Wing Flame.

In the lower levels, few Gifts had greater destructive and offensive power than the Golden Wing Flame.

It was the highest-level Divine Fire capable of burning gods, dragons, souls, and even existence itself.

“No problem.”

Karyou paused for a moment, then awkwardly turned her head, trying not to show her flushed face.

But by turning her head, wasn’t it even more obvious?

At least Aslan, Leticia, and Kurousagi clearly saw Karyou’s red earlobes.

“So now, am I worthy to be your disciple, Master Karyou?”

After hearing Aslan call her master, Karyou looked very pleased.

She even seemed slightly excited, but then remembered she had just made a Boundary ability user race for speed.

She felt embarrassed.

Seeing Karyou’s reaction, Aslan understood.

Karyou truly had a childish personality. She could feel so embarrassed over something so small.

“T-That’s fine.”

Karyou said with a tense face.

“Then, Master Karyou, what will you teach me?”

(It seems this is a good opportunity. Should I persuade her to teach me Golden Wing Flame while she’s still embarrassed?)

Leticia clearly realized this. She gently moved her shadow to touch Aslan, reminding him.

Later, remember to praise Karyou more.

Children like to be praised.

“Of course, I’ll enhance the fire Divinity into Shining Heat...”

Then Karyou fell silent again.

“Wait? What Divinity fragments are contained in your Divinity? Oh, the Shining Heat Divinity.”

“The method to absorb Shining Heat Divinity fragments and perfect them into a complete Divinity.”

The next second, Aslan—who had already burned part of his achievements to complete the Shining Heat Divinity—raised his right hand.

After transforming his right hand into golden flame, he said to Karyou,

“Like this, Master Karyou?”

For a moment, Karyou didn’t know what to teach Aslan.

But Aslan had already called her master. If she didn’t teach him something real, wouldn’t she look irresponsible?

Seeing Aslan standing there respectfully, Karyou gritted her teeth and said seriously.

“Then, how about I teach you how to perfect the Shining Heat Divinity into Golden Wing Flame?”

“Please, Master Karyou, teach me.”

Hearing Karyou’s words, Aslan bowed respectfully. It was the disciple acceptance ceremony.

But Karyou now felt slightly regretful.

How did this happen? How did this happen? Now it was truly difficult.

Originally, she only planned to teach Aslan some ordinary spells and supernatural powers, and develop his Divinity.

But now, why had it turned into Golden Wing Flame—the inherited Gift of the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan?

How could an inherited Gift be so easily taught to an outsider?

-

Title: Obtaining the Golden Wing Flame

Yet the words had already been spoken—there was no going back.

“But other races who learn the Golden Wing Flame require a special Fire Seed.”

“I didn’t bring it today. I’ll prepare it for you later.”

Karyou said with a forced smile. She didn’t intend to take back her words. She planned to stall, then consult her sister monkey or brother bull about how to handle such a situation.

Step by step, she was pushing herself deeper into hell.

This was the truth. Outsiders using the Golden Wing Flame indeed required a Fire Seed granted by their clan.

Unless, like Kasukabe Koumei, one used the Genome Tree to simulate becoming a Golden-Winged Great Roc to use it.

As for Karyou, she never imagined things would turn out like this—let alone brought any Fire Seeds.

“Master, actually, you could just lend me a bit of your flame. I’d like to try it.”

Aslan stroked his chin. He sensed Karyou was avoiding the issue.

Perhaps she wouldn’t return after leaving.

“Hmm? Using my flame as a Fire Seed? The development of my Golden Wing Flame hasn’t reached the level where I can create Fire Seeds.”

“Are you sure?”

Karyou looked at him curiously, asking in confusion.

She now also realized she might have been tricked and made a reckless promise.

But she couldn’t take back her words. After all, Aslan truly only wanted her to teach him something.

In the end, she got caught up in the moment and mentioned the Golden Wing Flame.

Yet now, Karyou also felt relieved.

Suddenly, her attitude toward Aslan improved. She thought Aslan was now giving her an escape route.

“Of course I’m sure.”

Aslan nodded, and an empty spell card appeared in his hand.

He planned to use the spell card to record the Golden Wing Flame used by Karyou.

“Alright.”

Karyou nodded, extended her hand, and a strand of golden flame appeared at her fingertip.

The golden flame was intensely hot, dazzling, and sacred, burning slowly at Karyou’s fingertip from nowhere.

Then it slowly floated toward Aslan’s palm and was finally absorbed by the spell card.

In an instant, Aslan felt about one-twentieth of his achievements vanish.

Note that Aslan had used less than one percent of his achievements to complete a Divinity fragment into a full Divinity.

This showed that the Golden Wing Flame was indeed powerful—worthy of being the Gift that allowed Karyou to become one of the Seven Great Sages by relying solely on the Golden Wing Flame.

It even had extraordinary destructive power against Three-Digit existences.

This time, Aslan didn’t lose—he gained enormously.

Yet he had to thank Little Garden’s Central Core for its strong support. If he’d done it alone, he likely would have failed.

The Golden Wing Flame was still slightly beyond scale.

“Alright, I’ve learned it.”

As he said this, Aslan extended his finger. A dazzling, hot, sacred golden flame, just like Karyou’s, appeared at his fingertip.

“What did you say? You learned it? You actually learned it?”

Karyou screamed in shock and couldn’t help grabbing Aslan’s hand, staring at the flame on his fingertip.

Karyou was utterly destroyed.

“Oh my god, this time I’m truly finished.”

Karyou couldn’t help collapsing onto the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

“But wasn’t it just learning a spell? Why is it such a big deal?”

Aslan asked in confusion. At worst, it was just a valuable secret technique. What serious consequences could it have?

“You wouldn’t understand.”

Karyou looked at him deeply and sighed. This time, she had thoroughly tricked herself.

The Golden Wing Flame, as the inherited Gift of the Golden-Winged Great Roc, how could it be so easily given to an outsider?

Simply put, anyone who learned the Golden Wing Flame was almost equivalent to possessing an extraordinary attack ability—an overpowered Four-Digit.

The Golden Wing Flame was an extremely powerful Gift.

Of course, the difficulty of learning the Golden Wing Flame was also extremely high. Even she had spent six to seven hundred years mastering it.

And that was with her status as the daughter of the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan.

What did an overpowered Four-Digit mean? In the lower levels, there was only one word to describe it: invincible.

The Greek Pantheon was the divine group with the most overpowered Four-Digits.

Because under special circumstances, Three-Digits couldn’t descend to the lower world. They could only influence the lower world and human history through Proxy Wars.

But the Greek Pantheon could directly descend to the lower world, intervene in human history’s development, and thus gain unimaginable trust dividends and achievements.

Making Three-Digit pantheons above envious.

Among pantheons, the status of an overpowered Four-Digit was even higher than most Three-Digit God Kings.

Of course, how could such a powerful secret technique Gift be given to an outsider?

Even if she were deeply cherished in her clan, it was impossible.

Karyou estimated she’d be captured again by her father, beaten, and then forced to admit the inherited flame had leaked.

As for Aslan, he’d most likely be summoned by her father to become her husband, to ensure the Golden Wing Flame wouldn’t leak out.

Her father had always worried about her marriage. How could he miss such a great opportunity?

Now, due to a teaching issue, she had successfully surrendered herself.

Surrendered to someone she’d just met once.

“This time, you’ve gained a huge advantage.”

Karyou stared sharply at Aslan, as if she wanted to kill him with her gaze.

Who would have thought someone could actually learn it in such a short time?

As for Aslan, what could he do? Though he didn’t know the specific situation, he could only accept it.

This time, it seemed he’d truly caused trouble?

So, should he call his Boss and see if there was a way to fix it?

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“Boss, come quickly—seems I’ve caused trouble.”

Shiroyasha looked at the message Aslan sent, confused, scratching her face.

“This kid can cause this much trouble?”

“How long has it been? Already asking for help?”

Yet, since her little brother came asking for help, how could she, as a Boss, ignore it?

The next second, Shiroyasha instantly crossed space and arrived beside Aslan, looking at Karyou sitting on the ground in confusion.

“Hey, what did you do to Karyou-chan?”

Shiroyasha poked Aslan and asked. She came to have Karyou become his teacher, not for you to bully her.

If he didn’t give a reasonable explanation, even if Aslan was her little brother, she’d give him a good lesson.

“I’ve learned it... I can use the Golden Wing Flame.”

Learned it? It couldn’t be said he truly learned it, could it? It could only be said that Aslan forcibly recorded it with a spell card and could now use it.

“You brat, no wonder Karyou-chan is like this.”

Shiroyasha often drank with Old Roc King. How could she not know the rules of the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan?

This time, Old Roc King might actually be very pleased.

Except Karyou might suffer temporarily.

“This is a good thing.”

-

Title: A Drama Ending in Engagement

“Kid, you’ve really gained a huge advantage.”

Shiroyasha patted Aslan’s shoulder and said with a smile.

Hearing Shiroyasha’s voice, Karyou grew even angrier.

“Shiroyasha, you dare speak!”

Karyou pointed at Shiroyasha and asked furiously. Golden Wing Flame gathered in Karyou’s hand.

Instantly, under the burning heat of the Golden Wing Flame, even the space here faintly crackled.

The space seemed to burn and explode from the scorching temperature.

If Shiroyasha didn’t give her an explanation, Karyou would make her suffer—even if she had to risk her life.

Although her Golden Wing Flame couldn’t cause the slightest damage to Shiroyasha.

How could fire burn the sun?

Yet, seeing Karyou angry as if wanting to kill her, Shiroyasha still smiled.

“Karyou-chan is getting cuter and cuter. I really feel reluctant to let go of Karyou-chan.”

However, listening to Shiroyasha’s tone that showed absolutely no reluctance, she even pretended to wipe a tear from the corner of her eye.

Karyou didn’t feel touched at all. She only felt Shiroyasha was even more annoying.

Her eyes were full of disgust. Even the little favorable impression left for Aslan disappeared because of Shiroyasha.

“Hypocrite.”

Karyou couldn’t help but spit.

Seeing the reactions of Shiroyasha and Karyou, Aslan finally understood what was happening.

So, learning the Golden Wing Flame also came with getting Karyou for free?

He felt this was Shiroyasha’s true intention.

Although Shiroyasha herself hadn’t expected he’d learn the Golden Wing Flame so quickly.

“Alright, don’t be angry, Karyou-chan.”

Shiroyasha saw her anger and extended her dirty hand to pinch Karyou’s cheek, but Karyou slapped it away.

Although Karyou’s hand still carried Golden Wing Flame, it caused no effect on Shiroyasha. Not even the edge of her clothes was burned.

“The main thing is I didn’t expect this kid could learn it this fast.”

Shiroyasha sighed and said somewhat helplessly. Her original intention was just to let these two young ones interact for a while.

Best case, they’d spark something, and then Aslan would learn the Golden Wing Flame.

Finally, she’d raise a little Golden-Winged Great Roc for Shiroyasha to nurture... no, to educate.

But it had just begun, and everything had already turned out like this.

“So, why don’t you two just get married?”

After being slapped by Karyou, Shiroyasha didn’t get angry. She still spoke with a smile and kissed the spot Karyou had just hit.

“Touched by Karyou-chan, I’ve decided—in the next hundred years, I won’t wash this hand.”

Hearing Shiroyasha’s words, Aslan and Karyou simultaneously showed expressions of disgust. And Karyou felt even more regretful.

She felt like she’d just been licked by a dog again.

“Boss, act normal.”

(Seriously, can’t she be a bit calmer? If it were me, I’d be happy quietly, not shouting)

After being reminded by Aslan, Shiroyasha also became slightly more serious. She took out her fan and looked at Aslan and Karyou.

“So, what do you two think now?”

“Will you get married right here? Or...”

But before Shiroyasha finished speaking, the sacred, scorching Golden Wing Flame shot straight at her face.

Then Shiroyasha gently waved her fan and gathered the flames.

Karyou glared at Shiroyasha with embarrassment and anger. She didn’t want to enter the marriage grave so soon.

She was only slightly over a thousand years old.

Of course, Karyou wasn’t just glaring at Shiroyasha—she hadn’t forgotten about Aslan either.

She couldn’t deal with Shiroyasha, but she could deal with Aslan, right?

Facing Karyou’s expression that seemed to say, “If you say one wrong word, I’ll destroy you,”

“As for Aslan, what do you think?”

Seeing Shiroyasha smiling and Karyou threatening him with her eyes, Aslan said somewhat helplessly,

“Of course, I’ll follow my teacher’s opinion.”

After all, he’d already gained a lot—there was no loss at all.

Although he quite liked Karyou, he also had no desire to enter the marriage grave so soon.

“Hmm, in that case, you two should at least get engaged.”

Shiroyasha decided, making the final judgment as the elder.

“After all, Karyou-chan, don’t you also not want to be bothered by the elders in your clan?”

One well-known fact: the stronger the existence, the harder it is to have offspring.

Of course, the Greek Pantheon was an exception. There, because of Eros, the primordial god of passion, having offspring wasn’t difficult—but having high-quality offspring was.

In fact, the chance of giving birth to a demon child was greater than a normal child.

Whereas the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan were Divine Beasts. Having offspring was difficult.

It could even be said that Karyou was the only young generation in the direct lineage of the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan.

With Karyou’s talent, becoming a Three-Digit wasn’t difficult for her. And if she didn’t produce offspring before becoming a Three-Digit, the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan could be considered extinct.

So, Old Roc King was extremely worried about Karyou’s marriage.

As for bloodline purity, that wasn’t a big issue. There were so many Gifts in Little Garden—just purify the bloodline.

Losing the inheritance and extinction were the real major problems.

As for whether they could maintain the inheritance another way?

If the elders in the clan weren’t so conservative, Karyou wouldn’t be so troubled.

“That’s a good idea?”

Listening to Shiroyasha’s words, Karyou fell silent for a moment, then looked at Aslan again.

“Alright, seems this is the only way.”

Karyou sighed helplessly. At this moment, she felt she’d truly fallen into a pit.

“But, if you want to marry me, at least you must be able to defeat me!”

Karyou stared sharply at him. If she weren’t certain that Aslan truly knew nothing, and all this was a plan by Shiroyasha and her father, she truly wouldn’t be able to hold back from attacking.

And now? What could she do? Could she run away?

Well, let it be. She’d stall as long as possible. Aslan was now only a Five-Digit.

Even if Aslan could become a Four-Digit, it would take at least several hundred years for him to grow into someone who could defeat her.

In these few hundred years, Karyou wouldn’t just stand still either.


Note:
Little Garden Combat Power System

(For reference only—not for battle, only for destructive capability. Rough and blurry descriptions.)

- One-Digit: Infinite Multiverse
- Two-Digit: Multiverse
- Three-Digit: Star System – Super Single
(In Little Garden, due to output limits, everything is at the lowest output level: Star System. Combat output doesn’t affect much. Especially dependent on Authority, Another Cosmology, Gift, Divine Relic, and other mechanisms.)
- Four-Digit: Planet Buster – Star
(Highest output at the lower levels is Star-level. Star System-level can only be achieved by the Greek God King Pantheon, which heavily suppresses their levels. They’re equivalent to Three-Digits. Usually, overpowered Four-Digit combat strength is Star-level.)
- Five-Digit: Surface – Planet Buster
- Six-Digit: City – Country
- Seven-Digit: Normal human – Street Buster

Of course, if a Three-Digit isn’t in Little Garden, or is in a Game Field, or after activating Host Master Authority, they can unleash their full power.

Four-Digits and Three-Digits who activate Host Master Authority automatically enter a Game Field.

In the upper levels of Little Garden, universe-level Game Fields still exist.

If they don’t activate a Game Field and their output threatens Little Garden’s safety, Decadence will occur.

Considering I’ll write A Certain Magical Index in the future, the combat power has been slightly enhanced.

-

Title: Little Garden’s Central Core’s Wish-Granting Machine Is Easy to Use

(Unexpectedly, she accepted her fate?)

Aslan stared at her in surprise. He thought Karyou would at least resist?

Why was she now immediately setting conditions—if he could defeat her, he could take her home and marry her?

“Do you have any objections? You’ve already gained so much, you know.”

Karyou glared at him, scoffed in annoyance, and shouted at Aslan.

She had already backed down this far—was the other party still not satisfied?

“I have no objections. I’m just a little surprised you didn’t consider pretending to marry or running away.”

Aslan ignored Karyou’s childishness, shook his head, and said with a smile.

“Why? Do you really want me to do that? Then get caught again and marry you?”

Karyou folded her arms across her chest and said proudly. If it weren’t for Shiroyasha, she wouldn’t be like this.

“No need to go that far.”

Aslan waved his hand and led Karyou and the others to No Name’s reception room.

Kurousagi also volunteered to prepare tea.

Aslan, Shiroyasha, and Karyou consciously found sofas and sat down.

“But how did you do it? Learning the Golden Wing Flame that quickly?”

Shiroyasha looked at Aslan curiously, especially at the card in his hand bearing the Golden Wing Flame insignia.

Then she immediately snatched it and played with it curiously.

“Did you learn it with this Gift?”

Aslan leaned back on the sofa and casually nodded.

“Yeah, it nearly drained me. My achievements instantly decreased by about one-twentieth.”

After all, it was the Golden Wing Flame. Compared to Authorities, it wasn’t inferior in strength. How could the cost of engraving it be low?

“Hmm? Achievements have effects like that?”

Karyou looked at Aslan in confusion. In her entire life, she’d never heard achievements could have such effects.

She’d only heard achievements could perfect Divinities, accelerate growth, and other subtle effects.

She’d never seen instant effects like this.

“Can’t they?”

Aslan was briefly confused, muttering quietly to himself. But it was possible, right?

While thinking, Aslan communicated with Little Garden’s Central Core.

“Central Core, grant me Space Divinity.”

The next second, Aslan’s spatial manipulation ability—which had originally been developed through his Divinity—immediately transformed into a Divinity and was engraved into his Spirit Status.

But in exchange, his achievements seemed to decrease again by about one-tenth.

“Hiss~~, seems my relationship with Little Garden’s Central Core is a bit too close.”

Aslan also slightly realized his connection with Little Garden’s Central Core might be a little too strong.

“Then, grant me Time Divinity?”

【Insufficient achievements, and a boundary-exceeding Five-Digit Divinity cannot contain Time Divinity.】

“Grant me Another Cosmology?”

【No relevant possibilities, and insufficient achievements.】

“Grant me a Divine Relic? Divinity? Gift?”

【Violates rules.】

“Then, explain our relationship?”

【No relationship.】

“Interesting.”

Aslan stroked his chin and couldn’t help but smile. He felt as if he’d discovered his greatest supporter in Little Garden.

Little Garden’s Central Core. Although it might require a bit of achievement to make it act, at least this channel existed.

“Did I obtain Central Core’s wish-granting machine?”

After briefly concluding the relationship between himself and Little Garden’s Central Core—aside from the one-hundred-millionth part of the Central Core residing in the land card from the Apocalypse world—

Perhaps the Central Core also viewed him as an equal existence?

As long as he was willing to pay the price (achievements), the Central Core would help him realize his desires within the boundaries of allowed rules.

However, Central Core’s wish-granting machine was indeed extremely useful.

“Hey, what are you thinking about? Answer my question!”

Karyou stared at Aslan, who was lost in thought, and kicked him. Though normally she wouldn’t do such an impolite, ungraceful thing.

But why was her mood so bad?

“I’m thinking about how to tell you.”

Aslan also stopped exploring his relationship with Little Garden’s Central Core. He raised his head and said to the slightly annoyed Karyou.

“This might involve my Gift. My Gift is Magic: The Gathering.”

“Magic: The Gathering is divided into several types: land cards, artifact cards, creature cards, and spell cards.”

“The card just now was a spell card. I can use power to copy spells used by others. Even use Divinity to copy others’ Gifts.”

“And earlier, if not for achievements filling my Divinity, I might have been nearly drained.”

Poets can use Divinity to modify others’ Host Master Authorities. Even turn fakes into real, alter history, or trigger a Historical Transition Period.

Whereas I, as a Planeswalker, only use Divinity to copy others’ Gifts. That’s normal, right?

Even the Genome Tree can use the strongest species’ power by simulating it.

“It seems your ability alone rivals Koumei’s Genome Tree.”

Shiroyasha couldn’t help but grumble. Listening to Aslan, it seemed other card abilities weren’t bad either.

So, what kind of monster did she get as her god’s follower?

But when she thought this monster was now her god’s follower, her little brother, Shiroyasha couldn’t help but laugh.

“But it’s not without flaws. The flaw is that although I can use it, I still have to master it myself.”

Aslan said with slight pride. He could use it, but it was still very unfamiliar—like gaining new organs and senses.

In terms of mastery, Karyou could easily defeat him.

“Then what more do you want? Full mastery?”

Shiroyasha couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Aslan. Was he still not satisfied with all this?

“But Karyou-chan, you’ve seen this kid’s problem, right?”

“Yes. His Gift is too strong, but he has zero experience. He needs proper education.”

Karyou looked at him. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Since Aslan was her fiancé,

Then he should have the appropriate awareness, right?

Seeing Karyou, Aslan felt a chill down his spine. He felt as if he’d also been tricked by Shiroyasha.

Shiroyasha sent Karyou to become Aslan’s teacher. Of course, it wasn’t just to build a good relationship between Aslan and Karyou.

Most importantly, she used Karyou’s dislike of him to make her properly educate Aslan—so he wouldn’t become too arrogant just because he once saved a world.

Then after Karyou vented, she’d surely feel guilty and teach Aslan even more seriously.

Easier to spark something.

Though now, this goal was almost achieved.

-

Title: Returning from the Hell Called Training

Aslan was also very aware of his shortcomings. He had abilities, Divinities, and Authorities, but lacked relevant experience.

His combat experience was extremely poor. Even if he fought Leticia now, he might easily be defeated by her in just a few moves.

Even if he used his Space Divinity, Shining Heat Divinity, and Golden Wing Flame.

After all, Leticia was a ruthless person who dared to establish the Floor Master system since the dawn era.

Her combat experience—likely few in all of Little Garden could surpass her.

One more thing: all his Divinities were completed directly with Little Garden’s Central Core’s help. Aslan had zero experience or insight in gathering concepts from scratch and constructing Divinities himself.

In terms of Divinity mastery, he was severely disadvantaged.

“In that case, I’ll trouble my teacher.”

Although Aslan knew the following days might be “slightly” miserable, this was pain he had to endure to grow—so he bore it.

He understood the principle: sweat in peace, so you won’t bleed in war.

“By the way, Leticia, I’ll trouble you too.”

“Mm.”

Leticia gave a slight nod, showing she understood.

Seeing Aslan so ambitious—wanting not one, but both of them—Shiroyasha couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up.

“Kid, you’ve got courage. I hope you can endure it.”

Leticia had previously served as an instructor in Arcadia. As an instructor, she was extremely ruthless.

She had been through too much. She knew well the consequences of slacking off during training.

As for Karyou, her anger hadn’t faded.

Her anger toward Shiroyasha couldn’t be vented, so she could only take it out on Shiroyasha’s god’s follower—Aslan.

Besides, Aslan was her fiancé.

Shiroyasha could already imagine Aslan’s miserable future life.

“Alright, I won’t disturb you young ones. I’ll go drink with that old bird.”

“This time, I won’t finish off his precious collection.”

After saying that, Shiroyasha immediately left.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

For the next month, Aslan lived through the most miserable month of his life.

During the day, he was tortured by Leticia in various ways. To develop his Star Spirit potential, he trained in extreme environments.

Including but not limited to under waterfalls tens of thousands of meters high, on planets with thousandfold gravity, inside underwater volcanoes...

But this wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was Karyou’s lessons at night.

Aslan truly experienced what was called forced divine and buddhist-level education.

From gathering concepts, constructing Divinities, to Divinity structure, relationships between power and abilities, and Divinity frameworks.

Plus spells, techniques, and various mythological rituals—knowledge more abstract than advanced mathematics.

Most importantly, applying Divinities and mastering the Golden Wing Flame.

Finally, after a month, Aslan had exhausted all his achievements.

“At last, this painful training can end.”

Aslan finally understood what Shiroyasha meant by “having courage.”

Even he admitted—he really was incredibly brave.

Fortunately, his efforts also bore fruit.

【Aslan
—Spirit Status:
+Sun Star Spirit • Boundary-Exceeding Five-Digit
+Planeswalker • Boundary-Exceeding Five-Digit

—Physique: Pseudo • Sun Star Spirit

—Divinity: Space Divinity, Shining Heat Divinity

—Gifts:
+Magic: The Gathering
+Spell Card • Golden Wing Flame
+Land Card • Umbrella Corporation Laboratory
+Creature Card • Last Trial of Mankind • Blacklight
+Dog Sun Authority
+Demon Star Algol
+Laplace’s Glasses
+Life-Saving Hair
+Blessing of Athena
+Zeus’s Thunder
+Queen Halloween’s Boundary Gate Discount Card...】

However, his only regret was that to obtain a sufficiently strong physique, Aslan had completely exhausted his achievements.

“Well, I guess I can rest too.”

Karyou said with panda eyes, yawning.

After all, teaching Aslan wasn’t just torturing Aslan—it was tormenting herself too.

She had to reluctantly retrieve knowledge she’d long discarded who-knows-where, along with her inheritance.

Because Aslan’s learning speed was still slightly beyond her imagination, she even had to ask her older sister Sun Wukong for help.

Therefore, Karyou studied during the day and taught Aslan at night.

She now even felt slightly nauseous when seeing books.

Was she still the Roc Demon King?

Yet, after a month of intense training, reviewing, and learning new things, Karyou also felt she’d made considerable progress.

It seemed she’d been a bit lazy in the past few hundred years.

“Master, I think you might need a battle to test the results of digesting your achievements.”

Unlike Karyou and Aslan, who wanted to rest, Leticia wanted to seize this moment—right after Aslan finished training.

To conduct a real fight and test the results of his hard training.

“Finally, a real fight? Who will I fight? Shiroyukihime?”

Aslan said in surprised excitement. Would the results of his month-long hard training finally be tested?

Then, could he go challenge Shiroyukihime, the Problem Child that must be defeated?

Hearing Aslan’s words, Leticia and Karyou fell silent.

Did they have such a shameful disciple?

You, someone who learned the Sun Golden Wing Flame, going to bully the Snake God? What kind of joke is that?

“Master, don’t bully Shiroyukihime.”

Leticia scolded mercilessly.

“I myself might not be your match. You go bully Shiroyukihime? What kind of joke is that?”

“Your opponent is naturally the Roc Demon King, Karyou.”

Hearing Leticia’s arrangement, Aslan’s fighting spirit was instantly doused with cold water and extinguished.

“If training isn’t for bullying the weak, what’s the point of training?”

Aslan couldn’t help but shout. He wanted to bully the weak. He didn’t want to be bullied by Karyou.

“Hmm?”

Leticia coldly scoffed. The Dragon’s Shadow beneath her quietly extended countless spears, pointing at Aslan.

“Karyou, today I’ll make you kneel and beg for mercy!”

Aslan immediately chose to declare war on Karyou without a shred of courage.

At least Aslan didn’t want to be punished again by Leticia with Dragon’s Shadow, then become Shizuka’s practical teaching material.

For this past month, Shizuka’s medical skills could be said to have made rapid progress—all thanks to his contributions.

“Hmm? Are you sure?”

Karyou also showed a cruel smile as she looked at Aslan. How could someone who caused chaos in the heavenly palace alongside Sun Wukong become a well-behaved girl?

On the contrary, Karyou, forced to study for a month, also felt she needed a punching bag to vent on.
