Little Garden 21-25

Title: Even the Core of Little Garden Wants to Advance

Watching the scene before him—seemingly infinite, layered with overlapping shadows, like a screen continuously zooming and piling upon itself—

It should now be the moment of parallel space unification in this world.

Aslan looked at the land card he had just created in his hand and hesitated.

Especially when seeing the pillar of light piercing through all the Earth’s shadows—that was Little Garden’s Central Core.

“So, should I take the risk?”

Aslan wasn’t sure whether his salvation method could withstand retaliation from Little Garden’s Central Core.

Or whether the Central Core would even notice him at all.

He had absolutely no idea.

But right now, a wildly bold thought kept nagging at his mind.

Rather than just bold—it was more like an utterly reckless idea.

After seeing the countless multiverses originating from the High School of the Dead worldview, Aslan wondered: if he now used a land card to turn Earth into his own land card—or more precisely, made a specific portion of Earth into his land card—could it be considered that, at that moment, he simultaneously turned all Earths across the countless multiverses into his land card?

Could the land card he used to provide energy be regarded as one encompassing the entire complete worldview?

But this idea could no longer be described as just “crazy.” Aslan knew that clearly.

Yet Aslan understood even better that in the future, he would encounter scenarios like this repeatedly.

If he backed down now, he’d have the same idea again later.

If he didn’t take one reckless leap, his restless, daring heart might never find peace.

But if it succeeded, the benefits were unimaginable—truly enormous.

“Oops, my hand slipped~”

For some reason, a sudden breeze blew, carrying the blank land card in Aslan’s hand and sending it flying toward Earth.

Yet, as Aslan closed his eyes, bracing for death and waiting for the Decadent Wind to blow—

He opened his eyes wide, staring in disbelief at Little Garden’s Central Core, which didn’t react at all.

It seemed he hadn’t broken any rules.

At least, in the judgment of Little Garden’s Central Core, he hadn’t violated anything.

Then... could he go even bolder?

His forcibly calmed reckless heart began pounding again.

He remembered—he had left a piece of land on that Earth, right?

The Umbrella Corporation research base.

With another land card, the Umbrella research base returned as a field within the land card.

Of course, Aslan wasn’t recklessly attempting to reclaim the Umbrella research base into the land card.

If his previous idea and experiment had been bold, reclaiming the Umbrella base would be truly reckless.

As Little Garden’s Central Core unified parallel spaces, stealing a piece of land would certainly earn him a harsh lesson from the Decadent Wind.

Alongside the unification of space-time, Aslan saw that the Umbrella research base in his land card also appeared with countless overlapping, layered shadows—just like Earth.

“Seems... I actually succeeded?”

Aslan was slightly incredulous. He simply couldn’t suppress the reckless impulse within himself.

He just wanted to try recklessness once, to make himself give up.

But why did it actually succeed now?

He’d only meant to test it—why did it actually work?

Yet, Aslan hadn’t even had time to process what had just happened when Little Garden’s Central Core suddenly trembled.

A beam of light shot out from it and entered Aslan’s Spirit Status.

Then, simultaneously, it kicked him back into the real world.

The feedback from Little Garden’s Central Core had arrived—Aslan’s achievement for saving the world.

【He is the explorer of the Last Trial of Mankind · Blacklight, and the savior of this world】

A blurry sentence merged with the light and fused into Aslan’s Spirit Status.

Afterward, within his soul, within his Divinity, a small, weak spark suddenly expanded like a Big Bang.

As if with an explosive sound, the spark rapidly grew, expanded and contracted in an instant, then expanded and contracted again.

Before Aslan could react, his Spirit Status had already become a blazing ball of fire radiating boundless light—like a blazing sun.

In visual comparison, it had grown at least tens of thousands of times larger.

This instantaneous change—Aslan didn’t even have time to react—before he was already back in Little Garden, at the place he had just left.

“... So, did I succeed or fail?!!!”

Aslan could still feel his land card, but he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to use it.

Because in an instant, it had absorbed the Umbrella research base from countless multiverses.

Causing the land card to now exist in a very strange state—as a special nexus point for countless multiverses.

Like the Ryūmyaku in the Naruto world.

No, wrong—not like Ryūmyaku.

More like Little Garden’s Central Core. Aslan could use the land card’s perspective to observe changes across the countless High School of the Dead multiverses.

“Wait? Why do I feel someone else’s power in this land card?”

Aslan felt strange. He didn’t think a single land card of his could cross countless multiverses and become a nexus point for countless parallel spaces.

Currently, the size limit of land cards he could create wasn’t certain to contain an entire planet, let alone a nexus point connecting countless parallel spaces.

With his question, a special voice emerged from deep within his heart, answering him.

Had his land card become a special observation point for Little Garden’s Central Core?

No, wrong. Aslan shook his head.

Because the voice in his heart was extremely brief, yet carried an immense amount of information.

It had caused his misunderstanding just now.

More precisely, billions of fragments of Little Garden’s Central Core had become part of this land card.

Since a land card was essentially a forcibly created small world—by extracting a portion of a world and storing it within a Magic: The Gathering card.

A land card could not only provide terrain advantages but also generate energy. It was already a complete world.

Billions of fragments of Little Garden’s Central Core had become a Tao-like existence within this land card.

Although Little Garden’s Central Core had no consciousness or will, it was an existence akin to the Tao in Little Garden—a station for observing human history.

But Little Garden’s Central Core also wanted to advance.

Little Garden’s Central Core could use Aslan’s land card to transform itself into the Tao of that land card. And as long as an infinite multiverse was incorporated into the land card, could Little Garden’s Central Core become the Tao of an infinite multiverse?

The answer was yes.

As long as Aslan didn’t object. However, what Little Garden’s Central Core sought was to become the Tao.

This didn’t conflict with Aslan holding the land card.

“This promise is huge....”

“But my appetite is good. Why can’t I digest it?”

After all, incorporating an infinite multiverse into his land card—Aslan was actually quite pleased.

Title: Uketsuki (Sensitive Rabbit) and Kurousagi (Black Rabbit)

“Indeed, the environment in Little Garden is far more comfortable.”

Aslan took a deep breath, feeling the abundant energy concentration in the air, and couldn’t help but sigh.

While in the High School of the Dead world, he had always felt like he was lacking oxygen, and sensed that the world itself was extremely fragile.

Just standing there made him feel constrained. Returning to Little Garden, he felt that even with limitations, he was far freer.

It was like coming back from a high-altitude plateau.

“Good afternoon, Kurousagi-chan~”

Shortly after arriving, Aslan spotted a familiar figure with two long blue ears.

Seeing Kurousagi’s back, Aslan suddenly got a mischievous idea.

He teleported behind her and grabbed her ears.

He’d long wanted to try the texture of Kurousagi’s ears, and now he finally had the chance.

In that case, he wouldn’t hold back!

After all, the photos Kurousagi had promised him had never materialized!

“Aaaa!!! Mr. Aslan, what are you doing!”

Kurousagi, instantly feeling her ears attacked, immediately turned bright red.

A rabbit’s ears were one of the most sensitive parts of their body. Especially when feeling Aslan’s hand rubbing them so rudely.

“Mr. Aslan, please don’t treat Kurousagi’s beautiful ears so roughly.”

“Not allowed? I’ve just returned after saving a world. Can’t I touch Kurousagi’s ears?”

The smile on Aslan’s face vanished, replaced by an extremely sorrowful expression, and his body swayed slightly.

Like someone who hadn’t slept for days.

“Huh? Really? Then Mr. Aslan, go ahead and touch them!”

Seeing Aslan in such a state, Kurousagi’s heart instantly softened and she agreed. Yet the blush on her face didn’t fade at all.

In fact, after those words were spoken, Aslan’s movements became bolder.

The sensation intensified, but Kurousagi only endured it.

Seeing Kurousagi so weak, Aslan remembered the nickname that suited her perfectly.

Uketsuki (Sensitive Rabbit).

Kurousagi now truly looked like an Uketsuki.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

Suddenly, an interrogative voice came. Kurousagi felt as if she saw a savior.

“Lord Shiroyasha, please save Kurousagi’s ears...”

But Shiroyasha completely ignored Kurousagi’s plea. She only smiled, playing with her fan, and stared at Aslan.

As Shiroyasha’s most loyal subordinate, how could Aslan not know what his boss was thinking?

“Here, Boss, I’ll give one to you!”

Aslan gently shifted his position and offered Kurousagi’s left ear to Shiroyasha.

Shiroyasha, of course, didn’t hesitate and immediately touched it.

“So, this is the texture of a Moon Rabbit’s ear?”

Feeling the soft, delicate rabbit ear in her hand, Shiroyasha froze for a moment. It was as if she were touching an invaluable treasure.

The next second, Shiroyasha used her other hand to touch the other ear, stroking both of Kurousagi’s ears.

Instantly, Kurousagi’s face darkened.

“Kurousagi’s beautiful ears aren’t meant to be treated so roughly!!”

Almost instantly, Kurousagi’s demeanor shifted, along with her hair color.

It changed from blue to bright pink.

“Boss, I’ll give you this ear too.”

Aslan seemed to sense the change in Kurousagi’s ear in his hand and looked down at it.

The Uketsuki had instantly transformed into a raging rabbit.

Shiroyasha patted Aslan’s shoulder in satisfaction, then took the other ear from Kurousagi.

“Indeed, Aslan understands me the best~”

Then Shiroyasha was immediately neck-locked by the furious Kurousagi and thrown to the ground.

“Boss Shiroyasha, you died so tragically~”

Seeing Shiroyasha’s “corpse,” Aslan couldn’t help but crouch beside her and “cry.”

His sobs were loud and full of tears.

“By the way, Boss, after you left, what about your inheritance?”

“Ugh, I’m not dead yet.”

Shiroyasha also angrily twisted her neck back into place, returning her body to normal. Then she glared at her so-called “loyal” subordinate.

She slightly regretted accepting Aslan as her god’s follower.

What kind of god’s follower dared to tease their own boss like this?

If she didn’t have such a good temper, she would’ve made Aslan suffer on the spot.

Of course, she only thought about it. A joke like this wasn’t enough to make her seek revenge.

Then Shiroyasha brushed the dust off her body, stood up, and looked at Aslan curiously.

“Did you fail to observe? Or did you finally remember to ask me how to observe a world?”

In her memory, the fastest way to observe a new world was measured in months.

Aslan had only been gone briefly—how could he possibly have succeeded?

Although the number of worlds observed by Little Garden kept increasing, it was due to the spontaneous spread of human history, which gradually brought other worlds into Little Garden’s observational range.

But to truly gain achievements and make Little Garden observe a new world—either by triggering a Historical Transition Period, pushing an era’s change; or by finding that world’s protagonist, like a Child of Destiny, then influencing that Child to alter the worldline;

Or by gathering belief and using divine group power to observe a new world.

In short, you had to exert a significant enough influence on that world for Little Garden to observe it.

Of course, you could also choose to militarily dominate an entire world. Though this could work, what would happen?

You’d immediately be given the Spirit Status of a Demon Lord, and as soon as you descended to Little Garden, you’d be captured by the Heavenly Host to boost their performance metrics.

Besides, achievements gained this way were extremely few, and observation failure was highly likely.

After all, your actions had to be integrated into other parallel worldlines. The more unusual your abilities, and the less accepted they were by the world and human history, the more energy required for integration, and the fewer achievements you’d gain.

If the energy needed to unify the worldline exceeded the energy gained from observing the world, it was considered a failure.

For example, Aslan’s world salvation this time—its integration result was: Aslan, Saeko, and Shizuka adventured together, bravely entered the Umbrella Corporation research base, obtained virus data, handed it to the Chinese government, who then researched the cure and saved the world.

Not Aslan using absolute power to forcibly kill the virus Mother and save the world.

Although both seemed similar on the surface, their integration results were vastly different.

Because the first could be seen as three heroes saving the world. Though slightly implausible, it was logical and easily accepted by the world and human history.

Whereas the second was not accepted by the world or human history.

Their integration difficulties were naturally completely different.

Title: Just Saved a World and Defeated the Last Trial of Mankind

“No, Boss, do you really have no faith in me at all?”

“What if I actually succeeded?”

Seeing Shiroyasha’s utterly disbelieving expression, Aslan said sorrowfully, clutching his chest.

Shiroyasha’s disbelief had caused him serious emotional damage!

“Don’t joke around. You didn’t even ask me how to observe a world. I haven’t even given you a Gift to perceive worldline shifts.”

“Besides, even though time flows slowly in Little Garden, you couldn’t have spent more than three days in the other world.”

“Three days to observe an entire world? Who would believe that?”

Shiroyasha scoffed. Aslan was being a bit too arrogant, wasn’t he?

Well, it was understandable. He’d just returned from another world. With Five-Digit power, as long as Aslan hadn’t been unlucky enough to encounter an out-of-spec existence, he’d be invincible.

It was natural for him to be a little proud. He’d soon be taught a lesson.

“Well then, Boss, what if I really did succeed?”

Aslan looked at her hopefully, wishing Shiroyasha would give him a small reward, a pleasant surprise.

“Alright, you brat!!!”

At this moment, even Kurousagi could see that Aslan had truly succeeded—let alone Shiroyasha.

He spoke with such confidence that it wasn’t just that Aslan had succeeded—he had done something extraordinary.

Shiroyasha was instantly shocked, and the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch upward.

No, no, she had to hold it back, hold it back. She couldn’t let this kid get even more arrogant!!!!

After forcibly calming herself, Shiroyasha finally regained her composure.

She cleared her throat twice and spoke with utmost seriousness.

“If you succeeded, how about I introduce a good teacher to you?”

“And she’s a beautiful girl.”

“Of course, if you’re lying...”

In an instant, Shiroyasha’s aura turned terrifying. That oppressive, dismissive aura immediately pressed down on Aslan.

After all, she highly valued Aslan and had invested quite a lot in him.

She deeply hated lies and betrayal.

If Aslan had truly lied, she wouldn’t mind letting him experience what it meant to face the greatest problem child in Little Garden.

“Of course.”

Although the aura had appeared only briefly—almost just a moment—it made Aslan acutely aware of the gap between himself and the top experts of Little Garden.

Aslan also discarded his slightly arrogant attitude, sat up straight, and said,

“Then, the contract is binding!”

Shiroyasha clapped her hands. Two scrolls instantly appeared in Aslan’s and Shiroyasha’s hands.

【Gift Game: Game of Truth
Rules: Lying is prohibited. Concealing the truth through linguistic loopholes, wordplay, or misleading methods is forbidden.
Participants: Shiroyasha, Aslan
Referee: Kurousagi
Prize: If Aslan’s statement is true, Shiroyasha will find him a beautiful female teacher guaranteed to satisfy him.
Punishment: If Aslan lies or attempts to conceal the truth, he will submit to a punishment determined by Shiroyasha.】

Seeing the contract before him—devoid of patterns or unfamiliar words—Aslan signed the scroll that had appeared before him.

“Good.”

Seeing Aslan carefully inspect the contract, Shiroyasha nodded in satisfaction.

Gift Game contracts could easily contain traps, especially in their patterns.

After all, in a game, if you couldn’t read the words on the contract, losing was your own problem.

Aslan’s cautious attitude was excellent.

“Alright, Boss, go ahead and ask.”

After signing the contract, Aslan sat up straight, ready to answer Shiroyasha’s questions.

“Did you really succeed in observing a world?”

“Of course. More precisely, I’ve just saved a world and surpassed the Last Trial of Mankind.”

Aslan said with full Versailles flair. He wasn’t lying. This had already been confirmed by Little Garden’s Central Core.

A savior who had surpassed the Last Trial of Mankind · Blacklight.

This Blacklight, using the name Aslan had given it.

“......”

However, upon hearing Aslan’s words, Shiroyasha froze. She slapped her face slightly in disbelief, trying to wake herself up.

But even so, Shiroyasha still felt like she was dreaming.

“Kurousagi, did he really just say that?”

Kurousagi shook her head, trying to recover from her shock.

After all, it wasn’t just Shiroyasha who was stunned—she was equally astonished.

But seeing Kurousagi shake her head, Shiroyasha’s face instantly darkened.

“Just as I thought.....”

Seeing Shiroyasha’s dark expression, Aslan instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. He had almost been framed to death by Kurousagi.

“Hey, Kurousagi! Help me testify!”

“Ahem, what Mr. Aslan just said is indeed true.”

Kurousagi said anxiously. Fortunately, she managed to explain before Shiroyasha started moving.

But what followed was total silence.

“Huh? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Aslan said with a smirk at the corner of his mouth. He was still waiting to see the shocked expressions of Shiroyasha and Kurousagi.

After a long while, Kurousagi finally snapped back to reality, staring at Aslan with a look as if seeing a monster.

“Mr. Aslan, do you mean... you actually saved a world and surpassed the Last Trial of Mankind in just a few days?”

Kurousagi swallowed, asking tremulously.

For some reason, she now seemed to see the figures of Canaria and Koumei within Aslan.

But even Canaria and Koumei had failed to surpass the Absolute Evil.

“Correction—not a few days, but three hours.”

Aslan corrected Kurousagi’s words and said.

“That’s even more monstrous....”

The only person Kurousagi had ever seen surpass the Last Trial of Mankind was her foster mother, Canaria, who surpassed Anti-Utopia.

But even Canaria, when facing the Absolute Evil, ultimately failed at the end.

Yet now, someone claimed to have surpassed the Last Trial of Mankind in just three hours?

If Little Garden’s Central Core hadn’t told her Aslan wasn’t lying, Kurousagi would have found it extremely hard to believe such a person could exist.

Shiroyasha now wore the same expression as Kurousagi. After all, she herself was a Last Trial of Mankind, and she knew exactly how difficult it was to surpass it.

-

Title: Am I Human? Am I Really Human?

Of course, Aslan knew the loophole here perfectly well.

After all, the Blacklight Virus, although capable of destroying human civilization and wiping out all humanity, could in a certain sense indeed be called the Last Trial of Mankind.

The Spirit Status ability granted after becoming a Last Trial of Mankind was indeed extremely powerful.

Limitless evolution, limitless adaptation, devouring ability, extremely high immortality, and the virus’s spreading capability.

As long as it wasn’t killed, it would only grow stronger.

But how? These abilities were rather straightforward, and the way to defeat it was also quite simple.

Just kill it before the Blacklight virus completed its evolution.

The Last Trial of Mankind status also had many flaws. It was forcibly elevated only by Anti-Utopia and Absolute Evil.

It wasn’t the Last Trial of Mankind that was strong, but Anti-Utopia, which had defeated the entire Little Garden and the gods of the West Side.

Even the Absolute Evil wasn’t as powerful as imagined. If Indra weren’t a god, he could have killed the Absolute Evil alone.

The problem with the Absolute Evil was that it could only be considered surpassed if killed by a human.

Otherwise, it would resurrect with full power.

Meanwhile, Anti-Utopia was truly unbeatable throughout all of Little Garden.

But in reality, even in the original work, there was a Last Trial of Mankind who wasn’t a Demon Lord.

Coppelia, who obtained the complete Eternal Engine Third Movement.

She eventually became a No-Name puppet.

So, the Last Trial of Mankind status wasn’t as powerful as imagined.

It was only because Anti-Utopia and Absolute Evil left such a deep impression on Little Garden.

Here, it must be mentioned that Little Garden’s judgment on human status was truly strange.

First, people like poets, magicians, and sorcerers weren’t considered human, but chimeras.

Yes, exactly. After Aslan arrived in Little Garden, he immediately lost his status as a human.

Then, the Chinese people. They also lost their human status in Little Garden!

To Little Garden’s Central Core, Chinese people were a dragon species, descendants of dragons—so they were no longer human.

Thus, Aslan, with his dual identity as a Planeswalker and a Chinese person, immediately lost his human status.

Was he human? Was he really human?

Of course, Last Trial of Mankind · Blacklight formed from Terminus · Biohazard caused by humanity’s own reasons—

That wasn’t something he could kill, and Aslan didn’t have the qualification to surpass it.

But he exploited a bug. Namely, Aslan surpassed the Blacklight virus before it was granted the Last Trial of Mankind status. And he also saved the world.

So now, the result was that Last Trial of Mankind · Blacklight was surpassed, yet at the same time, it wasn’t surpassed.

The final outcome: Aslan obtained the Last Trial of Mankind creature card.

It was the base version of Blacklight, newly emerged, at Five-Digit level.

How high its limits would grow in the future depended on whether Aslan was willing to raise it.

For this, he was certainly willing. After all, Last Trial of Mankind was still Last Trial of Mankind—it wouldn’t be too weak.

It was just his Joker card, and also the greatest gain from this journey.

The Last Trial of Mankind wasn’t strong—but it all depended on who you compared it to.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Shiroyasha, who suddenly closed her eyes, opened them again. The image reflected in her golden eyes hadn’t faded.

She couldn’t resist using her Two-Digit authority to check the records of Little Garden’s Central Core.

After all, only Little Garden Moon Rabbit nobles and Indra’s followers had the qualification to connect their ears to Little Garden’s Central Core—let alone them, the supreme beings of Little Garden, the mere seventeen Two-Digits.

Although Shiroyasha was now in a pitiful state, she was still one of the Two-Digits, a supreme being of Little Garden.

She had that qualification.

After reviewing Aslan’s action records, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been so frightened—had she really found a hero comparable to Canaria?

But this was also good enough. At least she could still protect Aslan.

Yes, as long as she didn’t reclaim her Spirit Status.

“You brat, your luck really is good.”

Aslan had truly earned the achievement of a savior.

“My luck has always been excellent.”

Aslan said with great confidence—except when he first traveled.

It made him feel like he had messed up the dungeon order. Wasn’t his first dungeon supposed to be High School of the Dead?

According to normal growth progression, which time traveler had a first dungeon as high-risk as Little Garden?

This was usually a dungeon near the end of the story.

“But you haven’t forgotten our goal, right?”

As she said this, Shiroyasha looked at him, hoping Aslan hadn’t forgotten about searching for possible Authorities.

Though she didn’t have high hopes either. Items on the level of Authority weren’t that easy to obtain.

After all, you could only get an Authority if nothing like it existed in human history or Little Garden’s Central Core.

But now, after countless gods and buddhas’ observations, and countless worlds being observed, it was hard to say whether anything remained unobserved by human history and Little Garden’s Central Core.

It relied more on luck.

“How could I?”

Aslan shook his head and said with great confidence. Although he was slightly addicted to saving worlds, he hadn’t forgotten the true purpose of his interworld journey.

Before leaving, he had specifically asked someone to collect all Umbrella Corporation’s technology.

Originally, he only intended to obtain an Authority similar to the Black Death virus.

But who would have thought the virus Mother would instantly become the Last Trial of Mankind? Its Authority naturally became his.

The “Outlaw of the World” Gift granted by Little Garden’s Central Core made obtaining Authorities not too difficult.

All Umbrella Corporation’s technology ultimately coalesced into a single Authority of genetic editing technology.

Although Umbrella Corporation researched viruses, this didn’t negate their many era-surpassing achievements in genetics.

Even many genetic diseases previously incurable could now be cured.

Now, this achievement became one of the Authorities in Aslan’s hands.

Of course, Aslan obtained this Authority also due to the advantage of the “Outlaw of the World” Gift granted by Little Garden’s Central Core.

After all, things like Authorities didn’t mean it belonged to you just because you were the first to discover or create it—especially since this was technology created by Umbrella Corporation.

This was like a patent. Little Garden’s Central Core and human history had to recognize it for it to become yours.

The difficulty of Authority authentication was clearly enormous. Far from as easy as Aslan, who could casually complete authentication.

“Here, try valuing it.”

As she said this, Aslan immediately tossed this Authority to Shiroyasha. Although he suspected others could gain decent achievements from this Authority,

Its difficulty level certainly wouldn’t be low.

To gain achievements from a technological Authority, you first had to widely implement this technology across multiple worlds, trigger technological change, and make the people in those worlds accept this technology.

Then, influence human history, making human history recognize that this technology benefited humanity, and continue integrating.

Although it sounded troublesome, this was the way most divine groups and large communities gained achievements.

Although troublesome, it was safe, sustainable, and achievements gained this way could be easily shared, and directly assigned to subordinates for management.

-

Title: How Did You Know I Got the Savior Authority?

“Genetic technology originating from an ordinary material world. Broad applicability, not limited by specific god or demon worldviews, and high acceptance rate in human history.”

“Initial estimate: if managed well, it could yield millions of achievements after integration into human history.”

One million achievements were enough to create a Four-Digit level hero.

The only issue was that it would take a very long time.

Shiroyasha glanced at the Authority Aslan had given her and evaluated it. She said it was just average.

But to sell it and redeem Leticia, it was definitely enough—possibly even with a surplus. As for Leticia’s Divinity, that might still be a bit difficult.

Even if sold at the highest price, it would only cover the opening bid.

After all, there weren’t zero medical gods in Little Garden who specialized in medicine. They could also create similar technologies.

The only notable thing about this technology was that it applied to most worlds within the human historical worldview.

Whereas medical techniques created by divine physicians might only be valid within certain specific worldviews.

Take cupping therapy: under a Greek worldview, it was a legitimate medical technique. But under a non-magical, ordinary worldview, it would only be harmful to the human body.

In the unenlightened medieval era, cupping could still earn achievements through deception. But now, it would only be hated and replaced by modern times.

Even indirectly affecting cupping therapy in Little Garden.

However, genetic technology built upon the foundation of modern medicine and biology didn’t have to worry about being replaced by the times. It might even trigger a revolution in medical technology.

It could even earn far more achievements.

“To buy back Leticia, it’s no problem. But to purchase a Four-Digit Divinity, it’s still slightly short.”

Shiroyasha said with a slightly annoyed tone. Why was it just a little short?

“So why don’t you go find an Authority that can overthrow the entire modern medical system?”

“Huh???”

Aslan pointed at himself, his face speechless.

“Do you think my little body can find an Authority capable of overthrowing the entire modern medical system?”

After complaining about his overpowered main god, Aslan pointed at Kurousagi and said,

“And isn’t our goal just to buy back Leticia?”

Kurousagi nodded and said,

“Yes. I’d be extremely happy if Miss Leticia could return.”

As for reclaiming Leticia’s Divinity, Kurousagi had never even considered it.

A Four-Digit Divinity—even during Arcadia’s golden age—acquiring it might have caused them temporary financial ruin, let alone now, with the current state of Arcadia.

For Kurousagi now, as long as Leticia could return, she’d laugh happily even in her dreams.

“Tch, why do you two have no ambition at all!”

Seeing Aslan and Kurousagi, who completely lacked ambition, Shiroyasha said with frustration.

Then she looked at the two ambitionless individuals helplessly.

“Whatever, just leave it to me to manage. I heard Asclepius is planning to become a Three-Digit medical god. Seems he’s gathering medical technology Authorities on a large scale.”

“Perhaps your technological Authority could be sold at a decent price, maybe even earn Asclepius’ support.”

Shiroyasha waved her hand casually, then prepared to leave.

Suddenly, she reappeared behind Kurousagi, roughly rubbed Kurousagi’s ears, and sneered.

“The texture is really good, hehe.”

Then, without waiting for Kurousagi to react, Shiroyasha instantly vanished.

“Aaaaaa!”

Kurousagi screamed, holding her ears and jumping.

After her feet touched the ground, Kurousagi protected her ears while angrily saying,

“Disgusting Star Spirit who only knows how to harass people. Damn it, I should’ve used more force earlier!!”

Aslan beside her sighed helplessly.

“Kurousagi, I’m still here. Are you really okay saying that in front of my main god?”

“You dare speak!”

Kurousagi puffed her cheeks in anger and roughly rubbed Aslan’s ears and face.

“All of this is your fault for starting it!”

“But... Kurousagi’s ears are really tempting.”

Aslan defended himself. Especially when seeing Kurousagi’s ears swaying in front of his eyes, he felt an even stronger urge to touch them.

After saying that, Aslan immediately reached out without another word and grabbed Kurousagi’s ears.

“Aaa!”

Then he was immediately thrown down by Kurousagi.

“Darn. Kurousagi’s too sensitive. I almost forgot she’s a natural Four-Digit god.”

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“Monkey, I’ve come to play!”

Inside a temple on Spiritual Mountain—Great Thunder Sound Temple—a blonde-haired girl sat there bored, reading the Vajra Sutra in front of her.

Well, if one ignored the fact that the content of the Vajra Sutra was actually a moe manga.

This peaceful scene was suddenly ruined by a very loud voice.

*BAM!*

With a loud crash, the temple door was kicked open by Shiroyasha.

“Shiroyasha, next time you come, don’t be so noisy. You’re disturbing my Buddhist studies.”

The blonde-haired girl said with a helpless laugh, secretly plucking a strand of hair and transforming the comic... no, the “sutra” in her hand back into a real sutra.

“Buddhist studies?”

Shiroyasha stared at the girl in front of her with an expression like “I don’t believe you,” and immediately snatched the sutra from her hand.

“Huh, this is actually a real sutra.”

“Monkey, have you changed? Can you actually read it?”

“Why not? I’m the famous Battle Buddha—why can’t I study Buddhist teachings!”

Sun Wukong said very unhappily. She always felt Shiroyasha looked down on her.

“The person who sleeps every time the Buddha teaches has no right to say that to me!”

“The person who reads porn magazines while the Buddha teaches is even less qualified!”

“...”

Then the two began a friendly exchange—filled only with each other’s dark histories.

Finally, before they started fighting, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but interrupt.

“Alright, Shiroyasha, why did you suddenly come looking for me?”

Sun Wukong stared at Shiroyasha with deep suspicion, stepping back two steps.
