"Tch, no wonder you lost to me; you can't even keep your own man."
Seeing Karyou silent, Asura laughed smugly while twirling her hair.
"This is really... trash."
"But still much better than those old bastards nearly dying in the clan."
Asura said with a disdainful smile. In her words, there was not only sarcasm toward Karyou but even more insult toward the old bastards in the Asura clan.
Calling them trash was already excessive; at least trash could be recycled, but bastards remained bastards.
Though Asura had no good impression of Karyou, she also didn't have a bad one.
She was very clear that the reason the Asura clan fell to such a state was because the clan internally was rotten. Otherwise, how could the Asura clan's prince kidnap Karyou?
She just disliked Karyou, disliked why Karyou could have a father who loved her.
While her own father didn't even dare meet her and her mother.
And Karyou didn't need to do anything, already comfortably sitting in the Roc clan princess position, and afterward, her path would be smooth.
While she had to struggle step by step, defeating who knows how many stubborn elders, before she could become this Asura.
Moreover, there was a more important reason: one of the Twelve Dharma Protectors of the Heavenly Army, the Fire God Agni, still hadn't recovered from serious injuries, and his condition worsened, so he planned to retire and undergo self-healing.
The Fire God position would soon be vacant.
She prepared to attack that position but was intercepted by insider connections.
Right, the insider's name was Karyou.
Just waiting for Karyou to break through and become a Four-Digit Outlier, she could directly take office as the new Fire God.
Though Karyou herself didn't know about this.
"Hah? Hey, explain first who lost to me!!"
Golden-reddish flames surged high, slowly burning behind Karyou, showing her anger.
"You're the one who lost to me, right?"
Karyou sneered.
A young Four-Digit Outlier challenged a Four-Digit Legend like her.
In the end, she almost lost, and it only ended in a draw.
"Who knows best if it was a draw or not? Isn't it you yourself?"
Asura raised her hand, emitting blood-red Karma Red Lotus Flames that extinguished Karyou's Golden Wing Flame.
Not only the Roc clan had inherited flames; the Asura clan also had their own inherited flames. It's just that the difficulty level was far harder than Golden Wing Flame.
However, the power produced was no less than Golden Wing Flame. The only advantage was having special attacks against evil people and Demon Kings.
And coincidentally, Karyou was a Demon King, within the special attack range of Karma Red Lotus Flames.
"Isn't it normal to break through in the middle of battle and use all means to conquer a Demon King?"
"Tch, do you think I'll believe that?"
Gifts and magic to cover and hide Divinity were available as much as she wanted. No one could be sure what they saw of others was real.
Who knew if the Asura who challenged her back then deliberately covered and sealed her Divinity, planning to harm her?
Karyou didn't believe it. She just thought Asura wanted to harm her, just like the Asura clan's prince who wanted to kidnap her.
In fact, at that time, because of the Six Paths of Reincarnation destruction incident triggered by Sun Wukong, the entire Asura Clan except Three-Digit level were exiled from the Desire Realm Heaven to Desire City in the Lower Layers.
Though her background was special, she couldn't avoid exile to the Lower Layers. Moreover, the Upper Layer Asura Kings were strictly monitored.
The Asura Clan at that time was directly downgraded from a Three-Digit community to a Four-Digit one.
Atula also continuously became a target due to her background, until she became a Four-Digit Legend, the strongest among the Asura clan's young generation at that time, and successfully killed the other heir, that prince.
The clan elders were forced to acknowledge her as a candidate and gave a test: defeat Karyou, the culprit of the Asura clan's decline. Even better if she could bring her back to the clan. Then she could become the Asura Queen, inheriting the name Asura.
However, Atula was almost beaten half to death by Karyou who at that time had extraordinary speed and flame power. Because she was from the Asura clan, Karyou didn't hold back at all.
And then the clichéd breakthrough in the middle of battle happened. At the boundary between life and death, she broke the Four-Digit limit, becoming a Four-Digit Outlier.
After all, Asuras were Battle Gods. Only through tempering of blood and fire could they fully grow.
Finally, Atula reached a stalemate with Karyou, until she used a suicidal method, burning the authority she had just perfected regardless of cost, right when she was about to win.
She was interrupted by the Bull Demon King. Otherwise, the winner would definitely be her.
Of course, Karyou thought the same. If not for the Bull Demon King, she would have achieved the feat of defeating a Four-Digit Outlier.
In the end, Asura returned to Desire City, killed all the stubborn elders blocking her, became the Asura Queen, and inherited the name Asura.
However, now Asura, who had trained for years as a Four-Digit Outlier, and learned Karma Red Lotus Flames, as well as inherited the Asura clan's Legacy Gift, if she dealt with Karyou again, it would truly be bullying the weak.
Then Karyou and Asura stared at each other, neither willing to yield, and stared for quite a while.
In the end, Karyou, still at the Four-Digit Legend stage, was slightly disadvantaged and gave in.
"But why did you come here?"
Karyou changed the topic, not wanting to dwell on the fact that she lost to Asura.
She wasn't too upset. After all, the other was a Four-Digit Outlier; what was great about bullying a young Four-Digit Legend like her?
If daring, seal the Spirit Status to Four-Digit Legend stage, and see how she'd beat the other to a pulp.
On the contrary, Asura raised her head arrogantly, glancing at Karyou disdainfully. A little golden bird, easily handled.
Facing Asura's winner attitude, Karyou just sneered, not caring.
Asura also didn't care about Karyou's reaction; she just saw it as a loser's lament.
"Of course to see what kind of man stole your heart."
Asura said with a slightly teasing tone.
"Now it seems his charm isn't low. Even Athena is interested, and he can even make the Demon Star and Athena get along peacefully."
(Get along peacefully? Are you serious?)
Karyou looked at Asura suspiciously. She felt Asura was fooling her. What she saw was clearly Algol almost fighting with Athena.
Though it looked calm, she could see the hidden undercurrents.
But it turned out that person was the Demon Star in Aslan's hands.
Karyou also felt relieved. She worried it was someone else who might threaten her position.
It turned out she was Aslan's familiar.
"So, your purpose in coming here is just to see Aslan?"
Karyou looked at Asura in disbelief. She absolutely didn't believe a Four-Digit Outlier Asura Queen like Asura visited just to see Aslan.
"Yes, to a certain extent, that's right."
Asura turned her head, looking at Kurousagi in the field, and Aslan embraced by Algol and Athena, then scratched her head.
"Of course, more than that, I came to tell you. Taking without permission isn't my style."
Her target was Kurousagi and Aslan? No, the target was Indra?
Karyou thought about the relationship between Aslan and Kurousagi. Only in relation to Indra did Aslan and Kurousagi have something in common.
Kurousagi was one of the few Moon Rabbits in Little Garden and a direct subordinate God of Indra. While Aslan held Indra's Another Cosmology, Vasavi Shakti.
But was there conflict between Asura and Indra? Seemed not?
Wait... Karyou seemed to think of something.
She recalled a scandal she once heard, about conflict between the Asura clan and Indra, and quickly made a judgment.
Perhaps Asura's goal was to kidnap Kurousagi, seize Vasavi Shakti from Aslan's hands, just to threaten Indra to appear.
As for Arcadia? They were just innocent victims dragged into the conflict between Indra and the Asura clan.
It's just that this Asura was too insolent.
Did she really see Arcadia as soft persimmons?
Golden flames flowed from Karyou's back, and almost instantly solidified into a pair of large wings.
"What? You want to act here?"
Karyou stared at her with cold eyes. If Asura really wanted to act, then please pass through her first.
"Have mercy on me."
Asura sighed lightly, jumped down from the sofa, and said helplessly.
"Both that Greek Goddess of Wisdom, the Heavenly Army people, or your man, have long noticed my presence."
"I don't want to push this conflict to an irreconcilable point."
She said this, looking at Karyou with a slight smile.
"But with you here, it saves me a lot of effort."
Karyou frowned hearing this, retracted her wings, and looked at Asura with slight surprise.
"What, don't tell me you want me to take you to meet Aslan?"
"So what?"
Asura said with a smile. At the same time, she narrowed her eyes at Karyou.
"Or do you feel reluctant? Afraid I'll steal your man?"
"But sorry, I'm not interested in your man at all. Or rather, I'm only interested in strong people."
(You say that, why do I become more worried you're here to steal my man?)
The corner of Karyou's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, she didn't say the truth that Aslan actually wasn't weak, even after removing Spatial Authority.
In fact, Aslan, even without using any authority, his mastery of Golden Wing Flame was no less than hers.
Moreover, with Aslan's physique comparable to a Star Spirit, and martial arts learned from Scathach.
She feared if she really said it, the naturally strength-admiring Asura clan would truly snatch that man.
Even if she didn't watch Aslan grow from the beginning, honestly, she wouldn't believe such a monster could be born in the Lower Layers.
"But if you came to cause trouble, I suggest you drop that thought."
Karyou folded her arms across her chest, leaned on the sofa, and reminded Asura with slight pity.
"You're not necessarily Aslan's opponent."
If it were another time, and Asura came to provoke, Karyou might not remind like this.
Two and a half Another Cosmologies, plus physique comparable to Star Spirit, plus Spatial Authority, Sun Authority, and various other Gifts and abilities Aslan possessed.
Karyou didn't believe Aslan would lose to others in the Lower Layers. Even God Kings like Zeus, as long as in the Lower Layers, still had a chance to fight.
"Is this a warning or advice?"
Asura erased her smile, narrowed her eyes at Karyou. She admitted she was now a bit curious about Aslan.
She originally thought Aslan was only exceptional in space mastery, even only because of his space ability, he got a Four-Digit Outlier threat assessment internally in Ouroboros.
Now, did she need to reassess the other's strength?
"Consider it advice from an enemy."
Seeing Asura become vigilant, Karyou showed a satisfied expression. If not because today was an important day not suitable for fighting.
She wouldn't bother reminding. Wouldn't it be better to watch Asura fall into the pit?
"Advice? I'll remember it."
Hearing Karyou's words, Asura didn't ignore it but noted it seriously and included it in her considerations.
"But I also have advice for you."
Asura smiled slightly, looked at Karyou, and reminded.
"I'm not really attacking your man. My target has always been Indra, the Ruler of the Heavenly Army."
The implication was that she was just a vanguard sent by Ouroboros to scout. There were others who would truly attack Aslan.
She was just a pawn.
The letter sent by Ouroboros back then was very simple, only attaching pure information. How to do it was entirely up to her.
Of course, if Aslan was willing to cooperate, she wasn't impossible to turn around and fight Ouroboros together with Aslan.
However, for Ouroboros, the result they most hoped for was she could directly eliminate Aslan. That way, not only reducing the threat to Ouroboros but also shifting the blame to her.
Karyou paused for a moment. Her good impression of Asura seemed to increase slightly, but only slightly.
"I'll note your advice too."
Karyou said softly. In her heart, she still felt a bit worried. Just as a vanguard, they already sent an expert like Asura, a Four-Digit Outlier.
It needed to be known that Ouroboros currently could still send such existences even while being chased by Indra leading part of the Twelve Dharma Protectors.
Ouroboros's strength was somewhat beyond Karyou's expectations.
Since when did Asura join Ouroboros? How many more experts like Asura did Ouroboros have?
Karyou truly started to worry about Aslan. She slightly regretted letting him send his older brother to the outside world.
Otherwise, there would be one more helper.
