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

Chapter 262 Why is everyone so eager to put a hat on Athena?

Seeing Su Nian slumped over the table, seemingly drunk, Jialing finally snapped out of her daze.

Seeing that the gate was not closed because the Bull Demon King had left with Athena in her incarnation, Jialing hesitated for a moment, then turned around and closed the gate.

Dong Dong~~
Feeling the violent beating of her heart in her chest, and seeing that Athena showed no intention of returning, Jialing finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Su Nian's side.

Listening to Su Nian's even breathing, Jialing examined Su Nian's wine glass and said hesitantly.

"Really drunk? Can you get drunk from just drinking juice?"

The people in the miniature garden are generally very strong, especially the high-ranking gods and Buddhas. They can drink ordinary alcohol like water. Generally speaking, only specially brewed wines can make them drunk.

However, in all his years, Jialing has never seen a person or a dragon get drunk from drinking fruit juice... or rather, a dragon?

This isn't wheat juice; Su Nian was just drinking regular peach juice.

"Wake up, wake up."

Jialing reached out and gently patted Su Nian's face. When he realized that she didn't react, his expression became slightly unnatural.

Pretending to be drunk? Surely he couldn't actually be drunk?

Jialing stared at Su Nian's face for a while before muttering something.

"Seriously, why would someone so good-looking try to hide themselves?"

He truly deserves to be the man favored by both Athena and that demon star.

Jialing mentally complained, then his gaze drifted unintentionally toward Su Nian's collar.

By the time she realized what was happening, Su Nian's coat had already been taken off, and even the inner lining buttons had been half undone.

"It's quite sturdy."

Jialing touched it while sighing.

No? What am I doing? Jialing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and looked up to meet Su Nian's ambiguous smile.

"Are you awake?"

A forced smile appeared on Jialing's embarrassed face.

"I was awake the whole time."

Su Nian nodded while looking at Jia Ling, whose hand was still on her body, and then calmly said.

"What's wrong with you that you think I can get drunk from drinking juice?"

He had only intended to see what Jialing was up to by secretly closing the door, but he hadn't expected the little Garuda to be so bold.

Athena and Argir have only been gone a short while.

It's easy to imagine what would happen if I really got drunk.

Being too charming is definitely not a good thing.

Looking at the hand that hadn't been withdrawn, Su Nian said slowly.

"Young lady, you're committing a crime!"

Jialing blushed to her ears. She quickly withdrew her hand, but then realized that she seemed to be the Demon King herself, so she put her hand back and said confidently.

"I am the Demon King, so isn't it right for me to commit crimes?"

"So, do I have to go and 'exorcise demons' again?"

Su Nian rolled her eyes speechlessly and couldn't help but complain.

"What demon-slaying and righteous defense?"

Jialing paused for a moment, then looked at Su Nian with a puzzled expression.

I didn't understand.

Su Nian's eyes widened slightly; it seemed this bold little Garuda was rather naive.

At this moment, Jialing seemed to realize something. Her face flushed red and her eyes darted around, but she still stared straight at Su Nian and said bravely.

"Then come and 'exterminate the demons and defend the righteous' if you dare."

Okay, Su Nian took back his previous thought. This Jialing didn't seem as simple as he thought.

You actually managed to pick up on his joke, Xiao Jialing, you're quite something too.

Holding the belief that as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed, Jialing stared straight at Su Nian with her "pure" eyes.

"Or does the elder hope to be captured by the demon?"

Su Nian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and couldn't help but complain.

"You are so rude."

Jialing blushed and didn't say anything, just kept staring at Su Nian.

Although Su Nian only needed to continue pretending to be drunk to fully experience the "exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path," Athena and Argel hadn't gone far yet.

Who knows when those two will launch a surprise attack?

Su Nian politely pushed away Jia Ling's hand, put on her clothes, and suppressed the urge to complain.

"Why is it that every single one of you is so eager to add a hat to Athena's head?"

Upon hearing this, Jialing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She realized what she had just done and calmed down completely; Athena had only been gone a short while.

"This is an essential part of the Greek gods' diet."

Jialing said very seriously.

"So, do you think this Greek god-king is Athena or me?"

Su Nian rolled his eyes.

Of course, Su Nian certainly didn't want to have more hats on his head, so he took away the destiny that originally belonged to the Greek god-king and left the destiny of the queen of the gods to Athena.

…………

"Okay, just send it here."

Athena smiled slightly at the Bull Demon King who had accompanied her.

Just then, Athena seemed to have noticed something, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Funny little guy."

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King froze, as if he had thought of something bad.

"Little Jialing?"

Could Jialing have done something to Su Nian? Although Jialing isn't usually like that.

But looking at Su Nian's face, the Bull Demon King felt it was hard to say.

It was precisely because he understood his younger sister's personality that the Bull Demon King was uncertain.

"I don't mind such a small offense."

Seeing the worried Bull Demon King, Athena shook her head slightly.

She wasn't that narrow-minded, and besides, she didn't think a small Garuda could pose any threat to her.
Jealousy can make a woman ugly.

Of course, those who are quick to provoke, like Arger, are an exception.

really……

The Bull Demon King, realizing what Jialing had done, looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Um... I'd like to apologize on behalf of my little sister."

"It's alright. Maintaining a friendly relationship with the Seven Great Sages was my original plan."

Athena glanced at the Bull Demon King and said with a light laugh.

She just didn't expect things to turn out this way because of Alger's meddling.

This level of friendly relationship doesn't need a marriage alliance, right?

Damn it, Argel!!

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this person really didn't want to delve any further into the matter. Continuing to dwell on this issue would only make him seem foolish.

As for maintaining a friendly relationship with the Seven-Headed Monkey King? Take that talk with a grain of salt. It's less about maintaining a relationship with the Seven-Headed Monkey King and more about maintaining a good relationship with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Although they have some connections, they are definitely not at the point where Athena would have to personally intervene to maintain the relationship.

………………

The North District, a stronghold of Ouroboros.

A conference room built inside a hollow of a giant banyan tree that is a kilometer high.

A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere enveloped the entire conference room, and the source of this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere was a young man sitting at the head of the table, wearing a straw hat and smiling.

Night.

The eighth avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism, the head of all gods in the Hindu pantheon, and the lord of the world.

He was also the true founder of the Ouroboros, or rather, the Sun King Group.

"Oh? Interesting. That problem child is actually planning to go down the same old path?"

Hei Tian flipped through the intelligence and saw that Argel had stolen Athena's hand in marriage, causing Athena to lose face. The smile on his face became increasingly difficult to maintain.

To his utter surprise, the great monk actually allowed Arger to follow the same old path? Even the Taoist priest seemed to have a supportive attitude.

At this point, it's fair to say that Alger was practically guaranteed a spot in the double digits. If she were to fail at this crucial step, she would truly be a fool.

Meanwhile, Black Sky was pondering whether Ouroboros should give Alger another push at this moment.

After all, a favor worth two digits is of considerable value to Him, even if Alger is indeed on Su Nian and Kurima's side at this moment.

However, this would make Kurima's power too strong.

Not to mention Athena, who commands the Heavenly Army, or Su Nian, who is the absolute ruler of the class, plus Alger, who has a two-digit number of followers, this little garden is practically a family heirloom.

"What do you think? Should I help Alger out?"

None of the senior members of the Ouroboros present dared to answer. How could they dare to discuss something as small as a two-digit number? Just knowing about it was an extremely risky matter.

But this is also a way for Krishna to control Ouroboros, to tell them his true intentions, and to clearly assign responsibility to individuals.

This can effectively prevent each other from holding each other back, which could lead to the leak or failure of plans made under the cover of darkness.

Just then, an elegant female voice rang out.

“I think we should help Alger out.”

Many middle and senior executives changed their expressions and turned to look at the goddess wearing a black dress and with her graceful figure bound by straw rope.

Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune.

Linga is a powerful female omnipotent being who is Vishnu's wife and holds the power of "Fortune" among the three digits.

He was also one of the most loyal followers of the World King. As for how he joined Krishna's faction, that was the subject of a deal between Krishna and Kurima.

"Can you lend a hand?"

After some thought, Hei Tian decided to lend Argel a hand.

There's no other reason than that stopping it at this point is pointless, and there's no need to create an enemy out of thin air.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity... Hei Tian frowned, tapped the table lightly, and then said casually.

"Have your men spread the word that the great demon Mara, who was subdued by the Buddha, has now been resurrected. Lakshmi is in charge of this matter."

"Yes."

The gods and Buddhas underground spoke in a low, respectful voice.

Lakshmi himself had no objection to this; he simply sat there lazily, holding his pipe.

At that moment, Hei Tian smiled.

"Lakshmi, you can also sell this information to the Thousand Eyes, and remember to sell it for a high price."

"Ok?"

Lakshmi paused for a moment, then asked in surprise.

"you sure?"

Selling to Thousand Eyes? Are you trying to make sure everyone knows Alger is about to break into double digits?
Hei Tian didn't answer, but just smiled faintly and said...

"Yes, you can add one that I've verified."

Two-digit verified intelligence—this intelligence is quite valuable, isn't it? But are you sure this isn't utterly tantamount to offending that demon star?

Lakshmi inwardly grumbled, but still agreed to the task.

The reason is unavoidable, but the benefits are significant enough.

"I see."

Hei Tian nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he paused and added.

"By the way, tell the guys down below to behave themselves and not cause any trouble. I don't want the Ouroboros to be destroyed by Athena."

Was this an implication that they should inform Athena in advance? ... Lakshmi suddenly understood Krishna's intention in doing so.

He intends to use his reputation and the influence of the Ouroboros to definitively confirm Argir's identity as Mara.

Lies have power even in a miniature garden, let alone news that has been "verified" by two digits. Even fake news can become the truth.

Perhaps Alger wasn't this Mara before, but from now on she is Mara.

Not to mention that Krishna is the only confirmed two-digit poet besides Jesus Christ.

After giving these small instructions, Hei Tian also stopped smiling, narrowed his eyes, and gently tapped the table.

"I want to see just how much help Alger will get this time to reach the top."

"Are there still a few reckless fools blocking the way?"

At this point, Hei Tian waved to the gods and Buddhas below.

"Alright, go spread the word. Hopefully, we can get results soon."

Upon hearing this, the gods and Buddhas below immediately stood up, bowed respectfully and solemnly, and said in unison.

"We respectfully obey the imperial decree."

…………

The heavens, the seven heavens.

"Is Lilith preparing to break through to double digits with Moro's spirit level?"

Inside the magnificent, pure white temple, a pure white angel with six wings on her back and an obscured face looked in surprise at the intelligence report in her hand.

"And it was confirmed by Ouroboros."

"Does that demon star have that kind of luck?"

Beneath the pure white angel, the figures who were softly chanting hymns did not answer, but only prayed silently.

Seeing this, the pure white angel was not surprised, but frowned and pondered.

"Should we tell the Lord? Lilith is the Lord's great enemy. Should we stop her?"

The pure white angel pondered for a moment, then murmured to herself.

"Let's ask His Holiness the Holy Son what he thinks first. Choosing to break through to double digits right after His Lord's return, did He foresee something?"

After pondering for a moment, the pure white angel finally picked up the scroll and set off for the Garden of Eden.

"Leave it there; I know what I'm doing now."

A young man dressed in a pure white robe, who was writing a gospel, spoke without looking up.

"but……"

The pure white angel clearly wanted to say something more, but before she could speak, the young man gently shook his head.

"The Lord doesn't care."

Upon hearing this, the pure white angel fell silent and then said nothing more.

He simply placed the scroll respectfully beside Jesus' table, and then turned and left.
