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

Chapter 357 Artemis: Who have you been flirting with this time?

A silvery-gray light shone.

Su Nian stepped out of the boundary gate without looking back, but went straight ahead and came to a low slope, looking out over the boundless plain.

On the plains, the grass is lush and the cattle and sheep roam freely, while in the distance, there is a long, surging river.

Further away, one can see a vast lake with gently rippling blue waters and cranes flying about.

This is the Lake of the Moon, which belongs to the goddess Artemis and is located on Mount Olympus.

Beyond the Lake of the Moon, on the opposite shore, lies the Temple of the Moon, bathed in the bright moonlight, appearing pure and white. And at the temple's entrance...

A young girl with waist-length green hair, dressed in a pure white Greek-style long dress, looked up at the moon.

"Wait a minute, something seems off?"

"Green hair? I remember Artemis wasn't silver-haired?"

In the miniature garden, Zeus's genes as the great father god are still very strong. Artemis, who was born as the moon goddess, should have been golden-haired, but after inheriting the position of moon goddess and the sovereignty of the moon...

Her divinity underwent a slight change, and then her hair turned the same color as the moonlight.

"And if I remember correctly? There seems to be only one Artemis with emerald hair, the one from Saint Seiya, right?"

For a moment, Su Nian wiped away her cold sweat, a sense of foreboding washing over her.

"Why did Artemis suddenly come to the Little Garden?"

Having recognized who Artemis was, Su Nian murmured to herself.

Although both are Artemis, in the Garden of Shadows, only one spirit or one divine position can exist. It is essential to distinguish between primary and secondary roles, as two tigers cannot share the same mountain.

The strong, possessing the true name, will plunder everything from the weak who share the same name. This is an attraction stemming from their very nature, an irresistible instinct.

This is even more true of the spirit mechanism of the miniature garden. The Artemis of the miniature garden is the strongest among the Artemis of countless worlds observed by the central observation of the miniature garden.

All the other Artemis are merely incarnations of hers; if they were to come to the Little Garden, they would only become insignificant nourishment for the Artemis of the Little Garden.

However, this is based on the premise that the other Artemis are weak; if a stronger one emerges, then this relationship will be reversed.

Moreover, for the strong, beings who are essentially similar to themselves are the most nutritious and easiest to digest.

Therefore, in order to maintain the relationship between the Greek gods in the miniature garden and the Greek gods under Sasha's command, Su Nian did not recommend that the Greek gods under Sasha's command come to the miniature garden.

When that happens, it will be very difficult to end the situation, no matter who devours whom.

In severe cases, it could even trigger a stress response from all the deities and Buddhas in the entire garden.

"So why did Artemis come to the Little Garden out of the blue?"

Su Nian was still a little confused, and as for asking Sasha directly... for some reason, Su Nian felt a little guilty.

I just promised Sasha not long ago that I wouldn't add any more sisters to her, but now another Halloween Queen has joined the family.

Su Nian felt as if she had realized the truth.

He even felt a slight urge to run away, after all, his purpose in coming to find Artemis wasn't exactly pure.

But now it seems it's already too late.

"Hey, Su Nian, I've been in the Little Garden for days now, and you've finally come to see me."

Just as Su Nian was about to retreat, a woman with long emerald green hair, delicate and beautiful features, and a restrained demeanor, but whose sharpness could be sensed upon closer inspection, waved at Su Nian.

"What are you still doing there? My moon deer just gave birth, and it's at its tenderest."

When the goddess across from her saw Su Nian, her eyes seemed to light up, and she greeted her cheerfully.

Looking at Artemis before her, or rather, Artemis from the Saint Seiya world, Su Nian's expression shifted, and she finally revealed a resigned smile.

"coming."

"By the way, Artemis, what are you doing in the Little Garden? And where is Artemis from the Little Garden?"

Artemis tilted her head and thought for a moment, then immediately explained.

"You mean Diana?"

"She recently went to work for the Roman pantheon, where she is also the goddess of the moon, so her divine authority hasn't changed much."

"But what are you doing?"

Su Nian looked at Artemis and asked meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Artemis smiled gently.

"I'm just here on behalf of Athena to see if you've found us a few more sisters..."

Am I really that untrustworthy?

Su Nian's expression became a little unnatural.

"It was because I trusted you too much that I was allowed to come."

Artemis's expression gradually became subtle as her tone changed.

"But now it seems that Sasha's decision was quite necessary..."

She learned a lot of rumors about Su Nian and Athena from Athena and Diana in this world.

Especially Athena's "history of humiliation," the fate of successive Greek kings and queens of the gods, and the lord of the heavenly army who couldn't even protect her own love...

Although she watched with great interest, this only proved one thing: Su Nian's charm was indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.

It's perfectly normal to accidentally end up with a few extra sisters.

And most importantly, we learned from Athena in the Little Garden that a new Sun Spirit named Halloween Queen has recently appeared.

Looking at Artemis, who was silent and unsmiling but whose eyes held a hint of disdain, Su Nian paused for a moment and then said.

"Ahem, it's not my fault, it's just that the atmosphere has gotten this bad."

"And if we don't do this, the Halloween Queen is really a cause for concern."

"and then?"

Artemis chuckled softly, unable to resist making a sarcastic remark.

"If I remember correctly, you lied to me like this back then, didn't you?"

"I never expected you to be so easy to fool."

Su Nian turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, Artemis slowly raised her bow and arrow, aimed it at Su Nian, and said with a smile.

"Didn't you threaten me with Apollo first? Saying that something happened to Apollo and that he entrusted me to you before he passed away?"

Is it really that fun to deceive innocent, naive young girls who don't know anything about the world?

Upon hearing this, Su Nian paused for a moment, staring intently at Artemis, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Just as Artemis was about to say something, Su Nian said quietly.

"But the problem is, I didn't lie."

After Apollo and Cronus finished their battle, Su Nian gave Apollo the Chu Zhen of Hyperion. With the combination of the two, Apollo gained a deeper understanding of mastering ultimate power.

He hurriedly went into seclusion, and before leaving, he once again instructed Su Nian and Sasha to take good care of their sister.

Who could have imagined that Artemis thought something had happened to Apollo?
"And if we really want to get to the bottom of it, it seems that you yourself delivered yourself to me, asking Sasha and me to resurrect Apollo."

Seeing Artemis's embarrassment, Su Nian added insult to injury.

"How...tedious!!"

Artemis threw her longbow to the ground, feeling somewhat embarrassed after Su Nian exposed the truth about her sacrifice. One of the reasons she came to the Garden of Shadows was because she was too embarrassed to see Apollo; if only she had asked one more question!

It can only be said that the Ninth Sense is not so easy to comprehend. When Apollo entered a deep meditative state, it was really no different from being dead. Even Artemis could not interrupt or contact him.

When Su Nian reiterated her embarrassing past, even Artemis couldn't remain calm. She could only blush and dare not speak to Su Nian.

"So, what brings you to Artemis?"

Artemis forcefully changed the subject, of course referring to the original Artemis of the Little Garden.

Instead of her, the newcomer, the usurper Artemis.

"Hmm, let's ask her to borrow the Moon's Sovereignty."

Su Nian said calmly.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Artemis immediately became alert and looked at Su Nian with some suspicion.

"What do you want the sovereignty of the moon for?"

"It's nothing, just helping others improve their spiritual level."

Su Nian said in a calm and indifferent tone.

Was that person a woman?

"..."

"Is she a beautiful girl?"

"..."

"Okay, I understand..."

Looking at the silent Su Nian, Artemis's lips twitched slightly. She looked at Su Nian helplessly and couldn't help but complain.

"You really never have a moment to spare, even at a time like this you're still trying to flirt with other girls?"

"Ahem... How can this be called flirting? This should be called an investment."

Su Nianyi said in a righteous and righteous tone.

"And to be honest, I really have nothing to do with that girl. She is the God Child of All Saints."

"??? You actually have feelings for a married woman?"

Artemis's eyes widened, then she realized what she meant and exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, you didn't even spare Persephone."

Although Hades had no worldly desires and only captured Persephone to perfect the underworld's cycle of life and death, Persephone was simply pure.

I reckon this "Halloween Queen" is in a similar situation.

"I have a feeling that you have some misunderstanding about me..."

Su Nian complained wearily, saying that he didn't want to argue anymore, as there was no point in arguing.

"Actually, Cai Niao has an older sister, Fei Niao. Because her spirit and Fei Niao's spirit belong to the same deity, if this is not resolved, Cai Niao will forever remain a dead person."

"I am now borrowing the sovereignty of the moon only to let her truly live."

Su Nian rolled her eyes and explained in a flat tone.

Because Kuon Asuka is Amaterasu, Kuon Saitama could only become Tsukuyomi.

However, the most important thing to complete the [Tsukuyomi] spirit title is the sovereignty of the moon. Without the sovereignty of the moon, how can one be called the moon god?

However, given Kuon Asuka's situation, she didn't even know who, besides the Black Rabbit, held the sovereignty of the Moon.

Not to mention, in a war for solar sovereignty, to covet someone else's lunar sovereignty without prior notice? That would be tantamount to courting death.

So Su Nian came over in advance to give a heads-up and pave the way for Kudo Asuka.

"Anyway, that's probably what happened."

"So, it's not a colorful bird, but a flying bird?"

Artemis keenly sensed the little fox spirit in Su Nian's words, but she was not an equal to them, and she had no intention of bullying the weak.

That's still a bit too embarrassing.

"Cough cough!!"

Su Nian was taken aback by Artemis's seemingly random remark.

Why does it have to be a fox spirit?

"It is indeed her."

Seeing Su Nian's reaction, Artemis nodded.

Then, Artemis smiled and put away her longbow.

"But don't worry, I won't do anything to your little lover."

It was merely adding a tiny, insignificant obstacle to her pursuit of lunar sovereignty.

Upon hearing Artemis's words, Su Nian's expression indeed turned strange.

"Artemis's lunar sovereignty resides within you?"

"uh-huh."

Artemis gave a soft hum, indicating that Su Nian was right.

"The Moon's Sovereignty - Crescent Moon is currently on me, but unfortunately, the one most suitable for Artemis, [New Moon], was not snatched by Artemis."

"It seems to have fallen into the hands of the Flood Dragon Demon King, Flood Dragon Liu. I wonder who gave it to him."

Artemis paid the price of a portion of her divine cosmos and divine will, and Athena also contributed a portion, in exchange for the sovereignty of this crescent moon, which helped her to condense the spirit of the moon goddess.

After all, Artemis of the Little Garden isn't stupid; she had already transferred everything that could be transferred to Diana's name.

In the miniature garden, the Roman and Greek pantheons are one pantheon from beginning to end, similar to a group of disguised gods.

Transferring achievements, sovereignty, and favors is incredibly easy.

Upon hearing this, Su Nian could understand. Liu Jiao did have someone behind him, but this person was most likely not from the Dragon Palace.

"But you don't have anything else to do right now, do you?"

"I think should not be?"

Su Nian wasn't entirely sure, since he had just satisfied Lamia and the others before coming here.

Well, in the end, Lamia was released, completing her "curse" and once again pinning down her aunt and mother.

If Athena and the others don't look for Su Nian, then Su Nian has nothing else to do.

Hearing Su Nian's answer, Artemis nodded in satisfaction and smiled happily.

“That’s perfect. My moon deer just gave birth, so it’s the perfect time to roast them. I’ll go prepare them.”

At this point, Artemis muttered something and glanced at the moon on the horizon.

"You have to stay with me until at least the moon sets."

Looking at Artemis, who was displaying a very feminine demeanor, Su Nian realized that Artemis seemed to be planning to make the best of a bad situation.
