Amid the distortion of space and time, Aslan and Shiroyasha arrived at a castle covered only by a thin veil of sky.
The sky veil here had been lifted, allowing sunlight to shine directly onto the central courtyard.
Aslan and Shiroyasha stepped onto smooth white marble flooring, surrounded by flower beds filled with blooming four-season flowers.
Shiroyasha glanced at the flower beds and the excessively luxurious decorations and furnishings, unable to hold back a mental curse.
"Show-off. I don't understand why Halloween wastes so much money on this."
For some reason, Aslan detected a hint of sourness in her tone.
After all, Halloween Queen, the most famous wealthy woman in the Little Garden, couldn't be compared to Shiroyasha, whose wallet was completely empty and whose every expense relied on public funds.
Now she couldn't even use public funds—she was using Aslan's account.
Passing through the four-season flower beds, at the end of a jade-white corridor stood a small pavilion.
The pavilion was entirely made of marble. The joints between beams and roof tiles had no gaps, as if carved from a single massive marble block.
Beneath the pavilion, beside a stone table, a young woman wearing a platinum-gold crown, a fiery red gown, hair as bright as the sun, and ruby-like eyes—flirtatious yet pure—was smiling as she looked at Aslan and Shiroyasha at the courtyard gate.
She was the Two-Digit Star Spirit, revered by many Pantheons as Queen.
She was also the only Star Spirit forbidden from attack by the Heavenly Army and major Pantheons, despite being a Demon Lord.
She was also the only transcendent existence known solely as Halloween Queen, with no one knowing her true name.
"My knight, come closer."
Queen Halloween brushed the hair at her temple and smiled toward Aslan.
Seeing this, Aslan took a deep breath and stepped forward toward the central pavilion.
At that exact moment, Shiroyasha suddenly blocked in front of Aslan, extended her hand to stop him, and shouted at Halloween Queen in an unhappy tone.
"What do you mean your knight? Aslan is my subordinate God!"
"Oh? Is that so? Since he's not my knight, please leave. Paradise Garden doesn't accept outsiders."
Halloween Queen chuckled lightly. Aslan could fully see the word "pleasure" in her eyes.
It seemed targeting and tormenting Shiroyasha gave her great joy.
Yes, the word "seemed" could be removed.
Aslan was certain Halloween Queen definitely planned to torment Shiroyasha through him.
Instantly, Aslan felt a headache. Queen Halloween was as difficult to deal with as ever.
Sure enough, the next second, Shiroyasha leaped out, teleporting in front of Halloween Queen, and said loudly.
"What do you mean, you blonde midget? Can't I bring my subordinate God to visit you?"
(Oh no!!)
Those words flashed through Aslan's mind. This time it was truly over.
The contradiction had fully exploded.
Halloween Queen said nothing, her smile unchanged… really? From the furrow in her brow, her mood was clearly far from pleasant.
"Oh? Is that so? I'm not the sister toyed with by the Gods, even sealing her own Spirit Status!!"
Halloween Queen gritted her teeth. Did she really want a "sister" like that?
Wasn't it because of Shiroyasha's actions that she became a Sun Star Spirit, seized her Sun Authorities, and blocked her path?
And now she still dared call herself her sister?
Shiroyasha's expression froze momentarily, then she narrowed her eyes. She pulled Aslan and sneered at Halloween Queen.
"Heh, I have more Sun Authorities in my body than you! I also have a baby Creator God subordinate!"
(Wait? Why is the war fire hitting me?)
Aslan hadn't even reacted before being pulled by Shiroyasha.
While Aslan was still confused, Halloween Queen looked at Shiroyasha before her with a smile, saying with a somewhat dangerous grin.
"Compared to a trash Star Spirit who can't even feed her subordinates, I think it's natural for him to come to me to become a knight."
"That's still better than a knight who fears his own Lord so much he doesn't dare seek his Lord. Hehe, I now live with Aslan every day, you know."
Shiroyasha chuckled lightly and happily patted Aslan's sturdy body.
"That's still better than someone who eats off her subordinate every day and uses her subordinate's money!"
Halloween Queen smiled and exposed Shiroyasha's current embarrassing state.
"Want to fight?"
Shiroyasha immediately stood, pressing her forehead against Halloween Queen's.
Halloween Queen's aura was not weak at all. She clashed power with Shiroyasha.
Yes, forehead to forehead.
"Come on, let's fight. Let's see if you, who lost the Geocentric Theory Spirit Status, can fight, or if I'm superior?"
Halloween Queen said fearlessly. Her gaze carried strong aggression and threat.
She really didn't mind fighting Shiroyasha.
After all, the loser wouldn't be her now.
If she won, even better. She could openly seize Aslan.
Both sides intensely pushed each other for a few moments.
"Heh, blonde midget."
"Hmph, white-haired little kid."
The two "little kids" coldly snorted at each other and turned their faces away.
Picking up the teapot on the table, Shiroyasha took a gulp and smacked her lips.
"Good tea. Tea from Doumu?"
"Didn't expect you still kept this treasure."
Doumu Yuanjun, known as the Mother of All Stars. Though she was no longer in the Little Garden, her legend still circulated in Little Garden Star Spirit circles.
If Zeus was number one for most liking to acknowledge children in the entire Little Garden, Doumu could definitely be called number two.
However, Zeus accepted anyone, while Doumu only liked acknowledging Star Spirits as children.
Among them, Halloween Queen and Shiroyasha were the most frequently pestered by her.
Even if rejected, she stubbornly came and kept bothering. That was also the period when Shiroyasha and Halloween's relationship was best.
After all, people won't hit a smiling face. Before someone full of maternal aura, Shiroyasha and Halloween couldn't quarrel at all.
Of course, Star Spirits have no mother.
"I'm not like certain people who drink lavishly every day. Of course I still have some left."
Halloween Queen sipped lightly and said smiling.
But Shiroyasha smelled and tasted carefully, then slammed the table.
"You think I can't taste it? Damn blonde. This is clearly fresh, freshly picked from the Star Tea Tree!"
After all, Doumu was the woman who would become Mother of All Stars. Coaxing Star Spirits was naturally her expertise. She was highly skilled at cultivating Spirit Roots extremely beneficial to Star Spirits, promoting Star Spirit growth.
"I only asked Doumu for one sapling."
Halloween Queen glanced at Shiroyasha and said casually.
"I'm not like certain people who know nothing but fighting."
"You!"
Shiroyasha gritted her teeth looking at her.
Lies don't hurt, truth is often the quick knife. It was indeed so. Shiroyasha truly knew nothing but fighting.
"Alright, let's not talk about these trivial things."
Halloween Queen happily took her teacup and sipped lightly.
"They say you suddenly came looking for me, there must be something needing my help."
Halloween Queen said very confidently. She knew her own reputation well. Generally, if nothing, Aslan and Shiroyasha wouldn't casually seek her.
"Why, can't I come to show off my subordinate?"
Shiroyasha sharply stared at the woman acting before her.
(This bitch always wants to mess with her mentality. So annoying.)
(Indeed, shouldn't have let Aslan seek her. Better to find my own Boss.)
(Boss is far better than this annoying blonde.)
"You must already know why we came looking for you, right?"
Shiroyasha speechlessly stared at the relaxed woman before her and snorted.
"I don't believe with such an obvious mythological shift, you don't know?"
"Oh, just that little problem?"
Halloween Queen said with little interest. Didn't Shiroyasha know she had no Pantheon at all? How could a mythological shift affect her?
"Aslan has become a God with Arthur's identity."
"Oh~, interesting."
Halloween Queen instantly became interested, excited, and narrowed her eyes. Her instinct told her there might be an unexpected surprise waiting.
"Forget it, Boss, let me speak. The situation is a bit complicated, can't explain briefly."
Aslan stepped forward and directly switched to Arthur's Spirit Status.
The next second, Halloween Queen narrowed her eyes in surprise and carefully examined Aslan's Spirit Status.
"This is Pantheon core authority. Aiyaya, Round Table Knight Divinity is out too…"
Instantly, even Halloween Queen couldn't avoid feeling shocked by the surprise.
After all, she had spent a lot promoting the Legend of King Arthur back then, just to build a Pantheon and revive the inheritance from the Dystopia War.
But who knew the Arthur she trained died in the Dystopia War.
In the end, the entire Round Table Knights were made by Halloween Queen similar to inherited Divinity Spirit Status legacies.
Could only say it inherited their Gifts and names, with no relation to the originally trained core Pantheon members Round Table Knights.
And what shocked Halloween Queen most was that all Round Table Knight Divinities brought by Aslan were Composite Divinities.
Most of these composite Divinities had complex origins, tracing back to Celtic, Nordic, Canaan… Many from Pantheons.
How many strong Spirit Statuses could emerge from this?
And it could also revive the foundational Pantheon she inherited back then. This was truly a huge profit!
She did think investing in Aslan wouldn't lose and would definitely profit, but she never expected the first dividend to come this quickly.
Instantly, Halloween Queen's gaze toward Aslan became more enthusiastic.
Forget the Star Holy Sword back then. How could there be more surprises?
But Halloween Queen became unhappy.
(Too bad, such a good knight follows the wrong lord?)
(Why wasn't I the first to find Aslan, but Shiroyasha?)
(That white-haired little kid, maybe all her lifetime luck was used to be born and find Aslan?)
Halloween Queen thought very annoyed. If possible, she even wanted to seize Aslan on the spot.
