Chapter 331 The Real Problem Child - Halloween Queen
"This must be the ruins of Takamagahara, right?"

"My sister shouldn't have left here yet, right?"

Following the throbbing within her bloodline, the ancient rainbow bird, clad in a silver-white dress, arrived here via the Halloween Queen's teleportation.

Soaked in blood, the crimson earth, even after thousands of years, still seems to bleed when you squeeze it, telling the story of the brutality and sorrow of that great battle.

However, the sense of longing emanating from this world made the long-lost azalea stop in her tracks, and she sighed softly.

"I am not Amaterasu's successor; I am merely the Queen's knight."

Having said that, the ancient rainbow bird walked towards the center of this broken world without looking back.

All of this is simply the result of the Takamagahara gods' own actions back then, and Amaterasu has already borne the consequences for them.

Even now, this lingering resentment hasn't stopped him from finding a "leader" who can shoulder his ambitions.

As for the resentment echoing in the space saying it will help her become Amaterasu? Only a fool would believe that. Does she really think she doesn't know how Amaterasu ended up in such a state back then?
She had no interest in becoming Amaterasu, nor in being bothered by these scum whom Amaterasu had dealt with.

On the other side, Kuon Asuka, who had absorbed a portion of Amaterasu's remaining power and condensed it into authority, suddenly clutched her chest and looked puzzled.

"Alma, I don't know if it was during that moment when the power was being gathered, but I seemed to sense that I should have another sister..."

Upon hearing this, Almatia glanced at Kuon Asuka, and as the spirit of the nurturing god told her about Kuon Asuka's current situation, she nodded.

"You do have a sister, but she probably died when you were born."

"You were originally born as a god or Buddha in accordance with the times, but because the possibility of being born as a god or Buddha in human history has shrunk, the god who should have been born as one individual has instead been divided into two individuals."

"You inherited the spirituality of a born god or Buddha, while the other inherited the physical body. However, ordinary humans cannot withstand the development of a god-level body, so naturally only you survived."

At this point, Almatia softly comforted Kudo Asuka.

"Let's live on with the will we have for our sisters."

Of course, she still hid some information, but that part of reality was too cruel, and there was no need for the current Asuka Kudo to know it.

"Is that right?"

Kudo Asuka instinctively clutched her chest and glanced at Almaty with suspicion.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Almatia, but she sensed that Almatia seemed to be hiding some information, though she had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

She plans to investigate the truth herself when she is more capable in the future.

"Of course not."

Just as Kudo Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, a cold voice, tinged with a hint of hatred, rang out.

Kuon Asuka looked up and saw that the newcomer was a white-haired girl wearing a silver skirt armor. However, her features seemed to be cut from the same mold as Kuon Asuka's, making her look like a mirror image of her.

In an instant, Kuon Asuka's entire body seemed to lose all color. She looked at Kuon Ayatori, her mouth slightly open, and said.

"you……"

"That's right, I am the sister who couldn't survive because you took away my nutrients."

Kuon Ayatsuki simply stated the truth that sent chills down Kuon Asuka's spine.

For a kind-hearted girl like Kudo Asuka, the weight of the sin of killing her own sisters for the sake of being born is unimaginable.

Even though she knew it wasn't her intention.

However, Kudo Asuka is not the kind of person who would choose to run away. Her pride would not allow her to escape, and she would continue to live with this innate sin on her shoulders.

"So, you've come to take my life?"

Kuon Asuka looked at Kuon Ayatori with a serious expression, while holding the Ame no Kusanagi sword in her hand, which she did not draw.

"Of course not, I just came to take you to see our mother."

Kuon Ayatori sighed softly, and couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Kuon Asuka, who had a tense expression.

It was indeed quite amusing to see my sister with such a terrified expression.

After all, he was a knight under the command of the Halloween Queen. Although he had received Scáthach's teachings, it's hard to say that his personality wasn't influenced by the Halloween Queen.

"Ah? Our mother?"

Kudo Asuka paused for a moment, then instinctively looked at Almatia, seeking her help.

The amount of information was so overwhelming that it caused her brain to feel slightly overloaded.

"Who is the mother of the bird you mentioned?"

Almatia asked curiously, "Didn't the Halloween Queen ask her to raise Kuon Asuka? And her milk can promote Kuon Asuka's physical development, making her body closer to the gods and Buddhas, and making up for the deficiencies in her body."

But what's going on now?
"Of course, it's the Halloween Queen."

Kuon Ayator snapped his fingers, and three chairs appeared out of thin air behind Kuon Asuka and Almatia.

She gestured for the two of them to sit down, and then explained calmly.

"Although I don't know what Her Majesty the Queen is planning, she did say that I should bring Kudo Asuka back as her daughter."

Well, she also wanted to see how Kudo Asuka, her older sister, would be tormented by the Halloween Queen.

Rather than taking Kuon Asuka's life and stealing her spirit for revenge, Kuon Ayano says she'd be happier watching Kuon Asuka become the Halloween Queen's toy.

Upon hearing this, Almatia's face twisted in disbelief. It wasn't that she didn't believe the Halloween Queen's words, but rather that she was somewhat puzzled.

"If Asuka is your daughter, then why did you give her to me to raise? And why is there a possibility that due to congenital defects, only one child can be born from the twins..."

Even someone as experienced as her is now somewhat confused about what the Halloween Queen is up to.

"Halloween Queen..."

Kudo Asuka's expression became somewhat unnatural.

If she remembered correctly, that was supposed to be a queen who was extremely petty, had a terrible personality, and was very willful? Even Su Nian found her troublesome.

Could that being be her mother? Although she wasn't unaware of the rumors that the Kusanagi Sword in her hand originally belonged to the Halloween Queen.

It wasn't actually a rumor; it was just using the rumor to tell her some truths.

I couldn't understand why a high-value sword like the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, with a price tag in the double digits, would end up in her hands? Turns out there's another reason... What a load of rubbish!!
"You're telling me the Halloween Queen is my mom? How come I had no idea? And Su Nian and White Night Demon wouldn't have kept such crucial information from me, would they?"

Hearing Kudo Asuka's loud rebuttal, Kudo Ayatsuki replied matter-of-factly.

"Because it was Her Majesty the Queen who made the decision not long ago to become our mother."

"what?"

Kudo Asuka was stunned when she heard this shocking news.

She never expected that the Halloween Queen could be so willful. What kind of nonsense is this, wanting to become someone's mother on a whim? She now understood why Su Nian found the Halloween Queen difficult to deal with, and why she was considered a problem child alongside White Demon and Alger.

This is indeed a bit too willful.

Especially when this kind of capriciousness hits her head.

Asuka Kudo couldn't help but mourn for her future. Was she going to be a daughter? For some reason, she always felt like she was going to be a toy.

Just as Kudo Asuka was thinking this, another question arose in her mind.

Why did Her Majesty the Queen adopt me as her daughter?

Upon hearing this, Kuon Ayatori glanced at Kuon Asuka in surprise, seemingly not expecting her to ask such a direct question.

"What? Can't I say?"

Seeing this, Kudo Asuka narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to consult Su Nian for her opinion."

Although she was strong-willed and didn't really want to seek Su Nian's help, she could still prioritize in this critical situation.

"Alright then, it's fine to tell you. Anyway, Her Majesty the Queen... ah, I mean, Mother, has allowed me to know. I guess that counts as tacit approval."

Kuon Ayatsuki took a deep breath and then explained earnestly to Kuon Asuka.

"In fact, your mother may have her eye on the real [Sun] that will be given to you by His Majesty Su Nian in the future, so she hopes to become your mother and take it away from you."

"The real [sun]?"

Kudo Asuka tilted her head in confusion, her senses suddenly sharpening. Her intuition told her that this might just be the final prize in this war for solar sovereignty.

"That's right. His Majesty Su Nian is preparing to gather all the sovereignty over the suns and repair them to become a complete 'Sun,' which is the 'Sun' that His Majesty the White Night King holds during the dawn."

Noticing Kuon Asuka's confusion, Kuon Ayatora nodded and explained.

"why me?"

Kudo Asuka asked instinctively, not feeling that she was qualified to possess such a treasure.

"Because you are the most suitable, and Su Nian may not trust the Halloween Queen."

At this point, Almatia explained that, as Zeus's foster mother, she actually knew as many secrets as some of the gods.

It was easy to guess why Su Nian made this decision; it was simply because the Halloween Queen's personality was too wicked, making too many people uneasy.

Just like when the Ouroboros was established, Krishna invited Kurima, but Typhon did not invite the Queen of Halloween.

If Jesus hadn't retired, there wouldn't be a Halloween Queen.

Just like now, Su Nian would rather wait for Kuon Asuka to grow up and become the second generation Amaterasu than give the real Sun Star Spirit Halloween Queen to her.

"Is this the dignity Her Majesty seeks for herself?"

Kudo Asuka couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

She didn't think that if Su Nian wanted to give her the real "Sun," the Halloween Queen could take it away from her, because Su Nian and the others wouldn't allow it.

In her view, this was the dignity that the Halloween Queen sought for herself.

It wasn't that she didn't want the "sun," but rather that she gave it to her "daughter," paving the way for her daughter.

No, that's not it.

At this moment, 'Kuon Ayatori' suddenly spoke up, rejecting Asuka's guess, and then gave a serious explanation.

"I'm just trying to eliminate competitors."

"??"

Upon hearing this, Kuon Asuka narrowed her eyes dangerously, her Ame-no-Murakumo sword poised to strike. The Ame-no-Murakumo sword possessed the ability to separate humans from gods, making it arguably the most vicious weapon for beings who use avatars to descend.

In other words, she has the ability to banish the Halloween Queen at any time.

Seemingly sensing danger, the Halloween Queen spoke through the body of the ancient rainbow bird.

"Because Su Nian said that he planned to give the [Sun] to the only sun in his heart as a token of their love."

"So? You're going to adopt me as your daughter?"

Kudo Asuka looked at the Halloween Queen with a slight headache; her personality was indeed awful and troublesome.

"Because you can't compete with men, you resort to such despicable means to eliminate your rivals? And even if you lose, you can still gain an advantage in terms of seniority?"

That's right.

The Halloween Queen lightly touched her lips with her finger.

"But in a factual sense, you are indeed my daughter, both in your birth and in your intended future."

Do you really think your longing for Halloween is just an unfounded emotion?

“In terms of personhood, I am indeed your mother.”

"Sorry, I don't have a mother who would try to steal her daughter's man."

Kudo Asuka said with an icy expression.

"And I am not irresponsible enough to simply dump me on my mother, who is part of the Kuon Group."

As a born extraordinary being, Kudo Asuka's childhood can hardly be described as happy; she grew up entirely amidst being exploited and treated as a monster.

It's truly fortunate that Asuka Kudo, who grew up under such circumstances, didn't develop a distorted personality.

If such an irresponsible mother really existed, her first reaction would definitely be more resentment.

As for now, looking at the smiling Halloween Queen in front of him, Kudo Asuka's biggest wish is to punch the guy in front of her.

She finally understands what a problem child is like!

"But you already are."

The Halloween Queen smiled happily.

"You should understand that without this relationship, what right do you have to take the Kusanagi Sword from my hands?"

Kudo Asuka's expression changed.

"This is not a summoning..."

In that instant, she remembered that the vile guy in front of her was the one who controlled the boundary in the Little Garden. Without this guy's tacit approval, could Susanoo have been summoned?
The answer is obviously no.
