Is it really a bomb? Or an opportunity?
King off the End Spirit Status is clearly a hot potato for others, because any god that can be connected to Steel Heroes can become King off the End.
And try asking—which god in the Little Garden isn't connected to steel? Except pure Earth Gods.
But which Earth Goddess doesn't double as an Earth Star Spirit? They're not interested in King off the End Spirit Status.
If another existence had this Spirit Status, even Indra or Zeus wouldn't fare well.
Except… Halloween Queen.
Halloween Queen, a Full Domain Authority (Two-Digit) who can act with full power in the Little Garden, fears no threat or challenge.
This is why Halloween Queen can hold such a position in the Little Garden, despite having few Almighty Domains under her.
In fact, the forces under Halloween Queen in the Upper Layer of the Little Garden can only be categorized as second-tier, not even reaching first-tier.
Otherwise, why is Halloween Queen's Community named Queen Halloween, and not Halloween Pantheon?
Because with Halloween Queen's condition of having few followers, she truly cannot be called a Pantheon.
However, this is also related to the Dystopia War back then. Though the Dystopia War built Halloween Queen's reputation and fully established her position in the Celtic Pantheon.
But the Celtic Pantheon was completely destroyed, and the entire Western Region at that time was totally ruined.
How long has it been since the Dystopia War? Just a few thousand years.
Even if Halloween Queen tried her hardest to train, Two-Digits are not easy to cultivate.
Even a power and influence as strong as Christianity, after the Dystopia War, only managed to train one newcomer reaching Three-Digit, namely Saint Jeanne d'Arc.
Other Pantheons need not be mentioned. After the Dystopia War, new Three-Digits that emerged can be counted on fingers, even new Four-Digit Outliers can be counted.
This includes Canaria, Kasukabe Koumei, and others.
A serious talent gap is evident. Yet, this is the normal growth rate for brave heroes.
It's no longer the Little Garden's Dawn Era, where merit gifts were everywhere, and Spirit Status could skyrocket just by observing a new world if lucky.
Growth in the current Little Garden almost entirely relies on self-struggle.
However, this also has one advantage: avoiding the emergence of a group of Almighty Domains like in the Dawn Era, who by Spirit Status are Three-Digit, but in reality not even equivalent to Four-Digit Outliers.
Existences that only have Three-Digit Spirit Status but lack corresponding authority.
Current Four-Digit Outlier brave heroes, once reaching Three-Digit, are true Almighty Domains, becoming true rulers of the Little Garden with matching power.
Even if they volunteered to the Greek Pantheon to become one of the twelve Main Gods, Zeus might consider kicking Hermes down.
Of course, promotion difficulty is also far higher than the Dawn Era.
In the Dawn Era, there was no concept of Four-Digit Outlier.
Of course, now it's almost the same. Besides the Greek Pantheon, no other existence deliberately stays at Four-Digit Outlier to hide in the Lower Layer.
After all, avatars exist. Though costly, avatars are safer.
With the current poor Lower Layer environment, what if accidentally hit by the Last Trial of Mankind? If the main body descends and hides in the Lower Layer, death means true death.
Most are Four-Digit Outliers where authority has accumulated, but Spirit Status stalled due to lack of merit, like Asura.
If it's true as Aslan said, that King Arthur bears King off the End Spirit Status.
Then Halloween Queen would gain huge benefits. Even if King off the End Spirit Status ultimately doesn't belong to Arthur, the difficulty of rebuilding the Pantheon with this opportunity isn't high.
The birth of a new Pantheon often brings great influence and merit. The reason a Pantheon is a Pantheon is because one person attains the Dao, relatives ascend to Heaven (one person's rise benefits all close associates).
If the Pantheon Leader is strong enough, forming the Pantheon will greatly accelerate the growth of other Gods in the Pantheon.
This is the role of the Pantheon worldview.
Speaking of Pantheon Leaders, who is stronger than Halloween Queen?
Athena could almost imagine how wonderful Halloween Queen's mood was.
Who wouldn't be happy with the chance to restructure all inherited bad assets into high-quality assets?
Now just hope Aslan can truly pay off the favor debt as he thought?
But for some reason, Athena had a feeling Aslan would be unlucky.
Even if Athena thought with her breasts, she knew Halloween Queen absolutely wouldn't let Aslan go that easily!
Owing a favor to Halloween Queen, Aslan was done for life.
According to her understanding of Halloween Queen, she definitely wouldn't hold back from teasing Shiroyasha through Aslan.
The two had been competing openly and secretly for who knows how many years.
Athena hoped Aslan could withstand attacks from both.
Athena calmly raised her teacup, finished it, then looked at Aslan with slight pity.
"Alright, I'll prepare first. If anything, you can contact me through this kid."
While speaking, Athena glanced at Adina.
Adina, who had part of her essence, could share senses with her in a sense, two bodies one heart. Of course, contact was quite easy.
But she didn't tell Aslan. Adina also pretended not to know this nature.
Otherwise, Athena really didn't know what expression to use facing Aslan.
After speaking, Athena stood, waved smiling at Aslan.
"See you again. Hope next meeting, you're not too wary of me."
She now truly put everything on Aslan… ah, no, on Adina.
Though no difference, since everything was in Aslan's hands.
"Really annoying. I have to face Algol soon."
"Huh, I hate this girl. Just breathing the same air makes me nauseous…"
Intentionally or not, Athena muttered two more sentences as she left.
"Tch, ugly girl!! Al-chan kindly helped you become beautiful, you're not happy?"
After Athena left, Algol also jumped out, cursing at Athena's slowly disappearing back.
"Hehehe, don't blame Al-chan if later I don't give you Medusa's Spirit Status."
In the competition for this Trinitarian Athena Spirit Status, she had absolute advantage: she wouldn't die. And as long as she didn't want, this Spirit Status would always be in her hands.
Algol glanced at Adina again, snorted with an unhappy expression.
"That ugly girl is really ruthless. She really intends to abandon everything she managed for so long."
"Lucky Al-chan still intends to save her life."
Hearing this, Aslan couldn't help raising his brows, said surprised.
"Eh? Al-chan, you really intend to save Athena's life?"
While saying that, Aslan asked somewhat strangely.
"Don't you hate Athena the most?"
Algol showed a sly smile, said very proudly.
"Of course. It's that ugly girl's fault for making the most beautiful girl in the Little Garden, Al-chan, become like this."
"But is it Al-chan's fault for being beautiful and kind-hearted?"
While speaking, Algol slid into his embrace without awkwardness, took Aslan's teacup, and sipped.
"It's just that ugly girl Athena doesn't understand Al-chan's good intentions."
Shiroyasha saw the very unawkward Algol, her eyelids twitched, said with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Really, how could Al-chan also be conquered by you, you bastard."
The corner of Aslan's mouth curved proudly. Shiroyasha's expression became more annoyed seeing his proud look.
She had also licked Algol for some time, but Shiroyasha now proudly sat in her subordinate's embrace.
What difference between her and Aslan? Don't tell me just the jack?
Shiroyasha thought with slight anger.
But though angry, for some reason Shiroyasha felt Algol looked more beautiful than before.
SLAP!
"There's a mosquito."
Shiroyasha expressionlessly pulled back her reddened hand from the slap.
Aslan looked at Adina who had somehow switched positions with Algol and sat beside him, amused.
(Boss, don't touch a friend's wife!)
(I'm just helping you check. After all I'm female, what can I do to Algol?)
Shiroyasha winked at Aslan, telling him not to be stingy.
Alright, Shiroyasha's face was thicker. Aslan stared at her for a long time. In the end, he lost.
(Actually our Boss can be together.)
Aslan winked at Shiroyasha. Algol also nodded in agreement.
But the next second, Shiroyasha looked at him in fear, instinctively moving away from Aslan.
Her heart pounded, hard to calm.
For some reason, at this moment, Shiroyasha felt slightly tempted.
Seemed no loss.
But the next second she corrected her thought. Her resolve was steel-hard. Impossible to abandon the whole forest for Algol and surrender herself.
Shiroyasha silent for two or three seconds, awkwardly erased her expression, sat across Aslan, changed the topic.
"By the way, how does Al-chan plan to help Athena?"
Hearing that, Algol swayed her body very happily, said while shifting to a more comfortable sitting position.
"Of course by making that ugly girl into Medusa. And at the same time, making Medusa into [Athena's Inverse Demon]. With this Spirit Status, that ugly girl can separate herself when unified by the other Athena."
