He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 144 The Fake Black Death, the Real Dystopia!
Within that orange-yellow shield, Kudo Asuka clutched the necklace Su Nian had given her—a pendant made from high-purity earth marrow crystal—and stared intently at the man before her.

Her eyes were filled with hatred and rage. She couldn't understand why Susanoo, one of the three noble gods, would be so despicable.

"Are you really Susanoo-no-Mikoto?"

"Hahaha, of course! Who else could be the one who slew the Yamata no Orochi, one of the three noble sons of Shintoism, and the future lord of the Highland Gods, but me, Susanoo?"

Susanoo laughed loudly, but after laughing, he reached out and grasped a short sword that gleamed with a cold light, and it appeared in his hand.

This is the divine weapon he inherited from Izanagi, and it is also the weapon he used to kill the final trial of humanity, Yamata no Orochi—the Totsuka Blade.

At that moment, Susanoo revealed a cruel smile and looked at Kudo Asuka.

"I wonder if your tortoise shell can withstand the might of my Ten-Fist Sword?"

Upon hearing this, Kudo Asuka's face showed despair, and she gripped the Earth Marrow Pendant even tighter.

This is now her only hope of surviving.

"You absolutely must hold on!!"

After this guy stole her gift of "Radiance" using the power of "Theft", Kudo Asuka was no different from an ordinary girl.

The only difference might be that her physical condition is slightly better, but not by much.

"But before I can break through this turtle shell, I still need to find a way to hold off Su Nian."

Susanoo frowned and said with great displeasure.

He knew his own limitations. Even though he was currently in his original form descended to earth as a human, his strength was probably not much stronger than that of Poseidon's main battle avatar.

If he were to face Su Nian head-on, he estimated he wouldn't last more than a minute or two.

Those who became god-kings by taking advantage of the times are truly inferior in combat power to those who are genuine geniuses at the same level.

Moreover, he hasn't even obtained the Kusanagi Sword yet, so how could he reveal it so easily?

Without hesitation, Susanoo turned his gaze to the battlefield above the City of Flames, looking at 'Pester' who was being held back by Leticia.

I couldn't help but curse under my breath.

"Useless trash. I thought you, Six-Eared Macaque, were so powerful."

"The result was that we could only hold Leticia back."

When he looked at Black Rabbit and Izayoi Sakamaki, who were holding the Brahma Spear on the ground, his face showed an expression of utter disgust, as if he had eaten shit.

"A moon rabbit!! There are moon rabbits here?"

The Moon Rabbit clan possesses different judgment authority than ordinary gods and Buddhas. Their ears are connected to the central hub of the miniature garden, allowing them to supervise whether the game of grace is legitimate and whether there are any loopholes.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Moon Rabbit Clan has the right to stop the Gift Game and re-evaluate whether there are any problems with the rules of the Gift Game.

However, this is the crucial moment for him to obtain the Kusanagi Sword, and he needs the Gift Game to conceal his vision. Once the Gift Game stops, he will inevitably be exposed and face Su Nian's iron fist.

Having figured this out, Susanoo did not hesitate and used the [Radiance] he had just stolen from Kuon Asuka without saying a word, addressing Siwei and Rattin.

"Stop that rabbit! Don't let her use her judgment authority!!"

The next moment, Latin and Siwei felt a powerful force rising within them, but they seemed to have lost control of themselves and fallen under Susanoo's control.

Aura is a gift formed by the manifestation of the concept of eight million gods in Shintoism. It has the power to bestow the gift of "simulated divinity" upon others, liberating their spirituality to the greatest extent possible, to the point of being infinitely close to "power".

And so, in that instant, the strength of Izayoi Sakamaki and Black Rabbit's opponents, Ratine and Sylvie, was forcibly boosted to four digits.

The battle was barely at a stalemate. On the ground, Izayoi Sakamaki and Black Rabbit held the advantage, while Lamia was still at the side and hadn't made a move.

On the battlefield in the sky, Leticia was at a slight disadvantage because she was affected by the [Plague] authority, which prevented her from fully exerting her strength.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, at the highest point of the Flame Emperor City, Su Nian narrowed his eyes and revealed a cruel smile.

"Found you, you little mice of the island nation's gods."

"Lao Bai, we've found the little rat behind it all. I'm going to deal with it now."

Su Nian turned to look at the White Demon beside her, whose movements were restricted.

"Be careful, I think this game of grace might not be so simple."

White Yaksha said quite seriously.

“I know, and I think I’ve figured out the truth hidden beneath this game of gifts.”

Su Nian narrowed his eyes, and in the next instant he disappeared, reappearing at the border of the Flame Emperor City.

"We can't get out!!"

"Even if you switch places with your past self, you still can't get out?"

Su Nian shook his head helplessly, saying that he now understood how disgusting the rules of the Little Garden game were.

Although most of the time, few people follow the rules.

But when you really need to ignore the rules, those rules just happen to be in effect, which is incredibly frustrating.

He is currently restricted by the rule in this game of grace that he is not allowed to leave the stage area.

Unable to leave the City of Flames to deal with Susanoo hiding outside the city.

"It seems we have no choice but to crack this gift game first."

Su Nian took off her coat, threw it on the ground as a marker, and then headed towards the battlefield in the sky at a speed that no one noticed.

"Leticia, are you alright?"

Su Nian caught Leticia when she was knocked back and used the [Abundance] power to restore Leticia's condition.

"Master, it's alright. Vampires aren't as weak as you think."

Catching her breath, Leticia adjusted herself.

Then, Su Nian turned her gaze to 'Pester', who was enveloped in a dark, damp, and disease-laden gray wind of death.

"I say, now you should have had enough fun, right? It's time to tell me who you really are, 'Pest'?"

As she spoke, Su Nian raised her fist and pointed it at the girl in front of her.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind using my fists to find out who you really are?"

Upon hearing this, 'Pest' did not speak, but the gray wind swirling around her deepened in color.

"I have no obligation to tell you!!"

The next instant, a fist wrapped in gray wind struck Su Nian's face, but Su Nian grabbed it and punched 'Pester' in the abdomen.

boom! ! !
'Pest' shattered the sound barrier like a cannonball and soared into the sky!
“However, since you’re unwilling to say, then forget it. You’ll find out once I crack this Gift Game.” With that, Su Nian’s figure vanished from the spot, and the next instant, she grabbed ’Pester’ by the neck.

"And I've probably already guessed the truth behind your Gift Game."

"True heritage is dystopia, right?"

The true purpose of this gift game is to create a fake Black Death and a real dystopia.

The moment he killed 'Pest' before him signified that the Black Death had vanished.

Thousands of years ago, a demon king appeared in the Little Garden, devouring a quarter of the Little Garden and occupying the entire West District, known as Humanity's Final Trial: Dystopia.

He was even the ultimate demon king who once united all the gods of the Little Garden, yet they were helpless against him.

Even now, His reputation is enough to make many gods tremble with fear; He is the true nightmare of the gods.

Ultimately, the only option was to have the canary rewrite history, spreading the Black Death virus in the early stages before the dystopia had even grown, thereby promoting the Renaissance, triggering a period of historical transition, and reducing the probability of the dystopia appearing to zero.

One of the strongest demon kings in the Little Garden who crossed over using this clever method.

Clearly, humanity's ultimate trial, which involved taking shortcuts, came at a price: 80 million people died from the Black Death in every world observed by the Little Garden.

Pest is one of these 80 million people, and also the representative of these 80 million vengeful spirits.

The game's premise is simple: deny the existence of the Black Death, thereby denying the fact that dystopia has been overthrown, and then attempting to revive dystopia.

"Isn't it a bit much to try to revive dystopia just to deal with me?"

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Since you guessed it, then hurry up and let me go, unless you really want a dystopia to exist."

"Pester," her voice forced out, was being choked.

Below, Lating and Siwei, who were being controlled by Susanoo's [Radiance], looked at Su Nian with red eyes.

"Let go of Master!!!"

Their eyes flashed with hatred, yet their bodies still involuntarily attacked Black Rabbit and Izayoi Sakamaki.

Seemingly noticing the looks from La Ting and Siwei below, Su Nian said disdainfully.

"A powerless gaze, unable to break free from even domination."

But this controlled reaction seems somewhat familiar; is this a trace of being controlled by [Wei Guang]?

No wonder he didn't see the Ancient Bird in the City of Flame; it turns out it was captured.

However, Su Nian was not too worried about Kuon Asuka's safety, as the necklace he gave Kuon Asuka contained a sufficiently thick shield.

At the very least, he assured that he could withstand a full-force attack from Poseidon.

He didn't want something to happen to Kudo Asuka, which would prevent him from using the Kusanagi Sword to deal with the curse on Lamia's mother.

Without hesitation, Su Nian crushed 'Pester's' neck without saying a word, and then threw 'Pester's' body down.

Then, in the next second, everything went black before the eyes of all the gods and Buddhas who were still watching the show in the City of Flame.

The literal meaning of "sudden darkness".

"Humanity's Final Trial: Dystopia!!!"

Scáthach took a deep breath; her hands and feet felt icy cold despite the sweltering heat.

What's wrong with this world? Aren't these island nation gods a bit too extreme? If you don't want to die, you can say so! We can still discuss these things!

Don't you want to continue being a god or Buddha? What the hell is this "summoning a dystopia" nonsense?

Even if you want to stop the unparalleled Su Nian, you don't need to summon a dystopia, do you?

As the black, wordless contract fell to the ground, the countless gods and Buddhas who were there to watch the show couldn't help but tremble.

As for Su Nian? He glanced at the expanded game area as expected, and the marker that appeared in his perception, then patted his behind and flew away without saying a word.

"Everyone, I'll leave the dystopia to you. I'm going to deal with Susanoo."

"Damn it, Su Nian, you heartless bastard!!"

"Damn it, I came here out of kindness to help you guys, and this is how you treat us?"

······
Despite the criticism, those who needed to be deployed still were deployed.

They won't really allow the dystopia to make a comeback; the impact would be far worse than the absolute evil of the dystopia, and it's something they have to deal with.

"Hey, Marta, is that really a dystopia?"

With his suit sleeves rolled up and his usual weapon in hand, Uesugi Kenshin squinted at the rose-colored-haired girl.

"Regardless of whether she is or isn't, all we need to know is that we need to deal with her now!!"

Marta put aside her usual frivolousness and spoke with unusual seriousness.

"Scáthach, come lend a hand!!"

Marta spoke to a person dressed in a butler's uniform standing on a rooftop in the distance.

"Fine, I guess I'm destined to be a workaholic."

Scáthach sighed helplessly, then took out a blood-red spear and aimed it at the rose-haired girl who was resurrecting.

But unlike everyone else, 'Pester' had a slight smile on her lips.

"You want me to stop Su Nian for you? Dream on!!"

The Six-Eared Macaque knew one thing clearly: if you wanted to destroy an order, you had to execute it 200%.

Therefore, she prepared very seriously for this Demon King game, so seriously that she transformed herself into a dystopian.

As a pseudo-human final trial created from the remains of Hanuman, the final human trial, the Six-Eared Macaque has no representative trial; its only asset is its unparalleled transformation ability, [Formless].

She can perfectly transform into and imitate anyone, possessing all of their abilities, even the final human trial.

This is why she is called the Pseudo-Human Final Trial, because she can actually transform into the Human Final Trial and obtain its power.

Of course, there are limitations. One can only transform into other humans under certain conditions for the final trial, and one cannot perfectly obtain all the abilities of transforming into a human for the final trial.

Previously, she could only transform into the already deceased Hanuman.

This transformation into a dystopian world is thanks to Pest's Black Death spirit, which has a significant connection to dystopia; theoretically, Pest could also do it.
