Hearing Canary suddenly mention her, Shiroyasha's eyes were a little blank.
She pointed to herself. "Me?"
"That's right!" Canary nodded and spoke eloquently. "To resolve this crisis, not only do we need to rescue the Roc Demon King, but we also need the strength to suppress both sides. With Koumei's power, it's not difficult to complete the first task alone, but if he were to fight a pantheon head-on, that's not his area of expertise."
An army of at least tens of thousands of Primordial Gods and Buddhas was not an opponent that an ordinary Four-Digit could challenge. Even if the "Genome Tree" was an excellent anti-Devil King armament, the spiritual ranks accumulated within it could not withstand such consumption.
"That's true. With my strength, a mere Asura clan is nothing," Shiroyasha nodded and put her hands on her hips.
Without a Three-Digit stepping in, this incident would be difficult to quell. With Shiroyasha's strength, she might not even need to show her Three-Digit White King form. With her fourteen Solar Sovereignties, it would be enough to turn the tide.
"But there are many who can do this, right? Why must I be the one to act?" Shiroyasha asked with doubt. She was in a hurry to report to Su Mo. Wouldn't she be sent away if she accepted this commission?
"For that, you'll have to ask Indra," Canary raised her eyes and looked at the grinning war god.
"In the end, this is a scandal within the Buddhist sect. Considering the impact on its reputation, it would be best if it could be resolved internally."
"So?" Shiroyasha still didn't understand. "If we're to resolve it internally, shouldn't you not be looking for me?"
"What are you saying?" Canary feigned surprise. "Lady Shiroyasha, have you forgotten the origin of your Yaksha divine status?"
"...Oh, right! This is the Buddhist Yaksha divine status!"
After a moment's pause, Shiroyasha finally realized. In order to descend to the lower world to serve as a Floor Master, she had accepted the guardian Yaksha divine status given by the Buddhist sect. This was a demotion, but also a proof of employment, proving that Shiroyasha was a proper, official employee of the Buddhist sect, with a position.
"So, Canary, you mean that if I take action, this disturbance will be considered an internal dispute of the Buddhist sect?" Shiroyasha looked at herself, never having thought that this skin had such a use.
"Although it's a bit of a stretch, for a top-tier pantheon in Little Garden, this pretext is enough," Canary shrugged.
In the world of Little Garden, the Buddhist sect was by no means a small force. After absorbing Hinduism, the Buddhist sect and Christianity became the two top-tier pantheons, and they didn't need to be too cautious in their actions. It was just that most of the Twelve Devas had been replaced by members of other pantheons, otherwise there would be many who could replace Indra's job.
"Otherwise, why do you think this useless god came to you? He didn't know we were in a meeting!" Canary complained.
Evidently, Indra had also thought of the same problem, which was why he wanted to ask Shiroyasha to take action.
"Is that so..." Shiroyasha showed a troubled expression.
She didn't know how to refuse, but it didn't seem right to agree just like that. If she wasn't watching, what if Indra really captured Artoria?
Seeing her hesitant expression, Indra did a tiger pounce and lay flat on the floor. "Help me! Lady Shiroyasha!"
In order to solve the trouble, he was willing to go all out.
Seeing him like this, and then looking at the hesitant Shiroyasha, Canary sighed and persuaded, "Lady Shiroyasha, I also suggest you accept this mission!"
"Not to mention that we have a friendship with the Seven Great Demon Kings, and little Garling does need help. Even if we don't talk about that, helping the Buddhist sect quell the disturbance also has its benefits."
At this point, she paused, then reminded her with a deep meaning, "Speaking of which, the Asura clan's strategy seems reckless, but it is actually very feasible. If kidnapping little Garling will most likely lead to retaliation, and doing so will only cause them to suffer, then wiping out the Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird clan in one fell swoop is a wonderful plan that can completely reverse the situation."
"Many times, you don't get the result you want because the matter hasn't been made big enough. As long as you make the problem big enough, someone will eventually come to clean up the mess. At that time, you can often see what's hidden behind it."
"..."
Hearing Canary's words, Indra was slightly taken aback and asked with suspicion, "Canary, are you implying something?"
"No! I'm just persuading Lady Shiroyasha," Canary shook her head, then looked at Shiroyasha.
She wasn't sure if Shiroyasha could understand her hint. After all, this white-haired loli's eyes looked a little dazed, as if she were thinking about something, or perhaps just daydreaming.
Do I have to be more obvious?
Just as Canary was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that Shiroyasha's eyes had suddenly cleared up. It was as if she had suddenly received a conclusion from a trusted person that she could directly copy. She nodded on the spot without hesitation.
"No problem, I'll help! Indra, you have to remember that you owe me a favor!"
"Alright! No problem!" Indra was overjoyed. "Next time I see a beautiful woman, I'll help you get her contact information!"
"That's more like it—wait!"
Hearing this, Shiroyasha's conditioned reflex was to get excited. But halfway through her words, thinking of Su Mo, she suddenly felt it was tasteless. "...Forget it! I'm not interested in beautiful women recently."
"!"
Hearing this, both Indra and Canary showed surprised expressions. Their expressions had not been this shocked even during the Buddhist sect's civil war.
"You... have you lost your mind?" Indra asked tentatively.
He had originally wanted to ask, "Have you gone limp?" but then he remembered that Shiroyasha was a girl, and didn't have that function to begin with.
"You're the one who's lost your mind!" Shiroyasha retorted speechlessly.
"I have a bold guess."
Seeing Shiroyasha's calm appearance, and thinking that she hadn't been handsy with her earlier, Canary suddenly realized something.
As soon as these words were spoken, Shiroyasha froze on the spot.
"Huh?"
Before this, she had never considered this possibility.
"How is that possible!" Indra shook his head and flatly denied it. "How could a pervert who likes women so much suddenly become normal? You might as well say she's lost her mind!"
After complaining like this, Indra suddenly felt a strong wave of energy hit him. He looked up and saw the stellar beast of the Solar Sovereignty rushing over. Behind the stellar beast was Shiroyasha's dark little face.
"You're the pervert who likes women!"
Along with these words, the war god was directly sent flying, back to the heavenly realm.
After falling in his own dojo at the foot of Mount Meru, Indra patted off the remaining dust and climbed out of the meteorite crater, his face full of depression.
Isn't it normal for a man to be lecherous? How did it become perverted?
"What's wrong with that Shiroyasha? Could it be that Canary was right, and she's fallen for some man?"
Thinking of this possibility, he touched his chin, a gossipy expression on his face.
"I wonder which young hero is so lucky to have won the favor of this problem child... tsk tsk, it's pitiful just thinking about it!"
After complaining, he didn't rest. He instantly turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards the Trāyastriṃśa heaven.
As a Three-Digit Full Authority Domain level existence, just appearing in the lower world could cause destruction to the entire world. As a rule, all Three-Digit level existences had to be demoted to Four-Digits to descend to the lower world. Among them, the ceremony of descending as a human, commonly used by the Divine Spirit race, had to be performed in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven. By transforming their stellar bodies into material bodies, the burden on the world was lightened.
Anyway, with his strength, even if he descended as a human, he would still be a rule-breaking existence among the Four-Digits. A mere Devil King would be no match for him. He just didn't know what kind of existence his opponent would be this time.
Why were the higher-ups of the pantheons and Canary acting so strangely this time?
"...a Devil King from the Celtic pantheon, you can't be telling me it's related to the Queen, right?"
After a shiver, Indra shook his head, not wanting to think about this troublesome possibility. After the half-hour ceremony was over, he would find that Devil King first. No matter what the inside story was, no matter what connections the other party had, since the Heavenly Army had been mobilized, there was no reason to return empty-handed.

After Canary left, in Shiroyasha's bedroom.
"In short, this is the situation now. The two things are mixed together," the white-haired loli briefly introduced the situation to the Halloween Queen.
"They actually called on Indra directly? Then my scope of suspicion has to be narrowed down to just two," the Halloween Queen's eyes flickered, thinking of many things.
"Compared to that, shouldn't you be worried about this Indra fellow?" Shiroyasha looked at Su Mo with some concern. "Don't look at his bad reputation. His combat power is at the forefront of the Three-Digit Full Authority Domain, and he also has the original divinity, the Brahmastra. Even if he descends as a human, his spiritual rank is only slightly reduced. His combat power is not greatly discounted!"
The original divinity, the Brahmastra, contained the fate that the one pierced would surely be defeated. It was a cosmic truth-level attack that even a Three-Digit might not be able to withstand. Although Su Mo's spiritual rank was special, he was only a Three-Digit. In her opinion, he might not be able to defeat the war god.
"Don't worry," hearing Shiroyasha's concern, Su Mo shook his head. "I know Indra's power, but the Divine Spirit race is at a natural disadvantage against me. There's no need to worry too much."
"If it's just Indra in his descended-as-a-human state, he might not even be Saber's opponent. She has improved a lot after obtaining the legacy of King Arthur."
Although she had not obtained the spiritual rank of the Star Sword of the Utmost End, with the enhanced Holy Sword of the Stars and the sheath of Avalon from the Path of Preservation, Saber Alter's power could be considered a rule-breaker among the Four-Digits in the world of Little Garden. Not to mention, she also had many blessings bestowed upon her by Su Mo.
Hearing Su Mo say this, Artoria, who was wearing a black battle skirt and had no ahoge, let out a tsundere snort. "Of course! With Master's orders, what's a mere Indra to speak of!"
Although her personality had changed, her loyalty remained unchanged. In this way, she seemed quite interesting.
"It's not good to be too arrogant," Su Mo knocked Saber Alter's head, then shook his head. "But this time, we won't be clashing with Indra... don't be anxious, you'll have a chance to show off. It's just that this time, the battlefield is not here, but in the heavenly realm!"
