"Relax, I know that. I'm just too lazy to manage it."
Aslan waved his hand casually. He didn't want to be a full-time leader; he just wanted to be a carefree CEO.
As for community matters? He'd handle the big stuff and only check on the small, insignificant things.
In the Little Garden community, a leader didn't need to be responsible for governance. A leader only needed enough power to make others submit.
Simply put, Little Garden relied on strength.
Seeing this, Scathach only smiled and said nothing more.
She had no right to interfere in Aslan's personal life or how he managed Avalon.
After all, Aslan, who inherited Arthur's Divinity, was the true leader of Avalon.
However, she wouldn't bear the consequences of Aslan's actions either.
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to come to the Land of Shadows tonight to receive my guidance."
Scathach seemed to recall something. She looked at Aslan's eyes with excitement.
Aslan could see the sadistic gleam practically overflowing from Scathach.
"Why at night?"
For some reason, a bad premonition enveloped his heart. He felt he was about to suffer again.
"Of course, because the Land of Shadows only appears at night."
Scathach casually picked up a piece of fruit and popped it into her mouth, speaking nonchalantly.
Since Aslan had decided to work under the Halloween Queen and the White Night Demon Lord, wasn't it reasonable to divide his time?
Now that she was Aslan's teacher, it was fine if Aslan belonged to Shiroyasha during the day and to her at night, right?
For someone as talented as Aslan, rest and such things were unimportant.
"…Is this the consequence?"
Aslan felt a bit regretful. Even his nighttime rest was being taken away.
"Don't worry, it won't affect your normal life."
Scathach said with schadenfreude. She could clearly see Aslan's discomfort.
"Why does it feel like I'm suffering more and more?"
Aslan sighed. He never expected that one day he'd truly experience the same treatment as King Arthur.
Even at night, when he was supposed to rest, he still had to train and study. The only difference was that Arthur trained in dreams, while Aslan trained in the Land of Shadows.
It felt like the Halloween Queen was deliberately pressuring him, just to break him and find amusement.
"You say you're suffering, but this treatment is something many people can't even dream of."
Scathach laughed, looking at him and sighing.
She could only say that today's young people were truly remarkable. With Aslan's current accumulation, he was already strong enough to reach Three-Digit level.
Behind him, he had at least the Halloween Queen and the White Night Demon Lord supporting him.
But how long had Aslan been in Little Garden? What digit was he when he arrived?
Who would've thought that someone who'd been in Little Garden for less than a few months already had the initial ability to shake things up?
Thinking of this, Scathach stood up and patted Aslan's shoulder.
"Work hard. Gaining a foothold in Little Garden isn't easy."
"Little Garden now doesn't have time for you to waste. If Canaria and the others were still here, things would be better. They could've protected you for a while."
Scathach couldn't help but complain.
"Never learn from someone brainless. They can't even hide their weaknesses or turn the tables."
Hearing this, Aslan knew she was talking about Shiroyasha.
Even Scathach didn't understand how Shiroyasha ended up like that.
If Shiroyasha had even one percent of Canaria's intelligence, she wouldn't have ended up in this state.
Even now, she couldn't reclaim her power and had to be monitored to move freely.
But behind Aslan was the Halloween Queen. If needed, she could turn the tables directly. At the very least, the Halloween Queen would act because of Aslan's potential.
"Hmm…"
Aslan paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, showing a shy smile like a teenager.
"In that case, please don't worry. I won't hesitate to turn the tables when the time comes."
Aslan didn't know much else, but when it came to turning the tables, he had some confidence.
"Ho, that's an interesting way to talk."
Scathach laughed. She was a bit curious about how Aslan would turn the tables.
Then she prepared to leave. But after taking a few steps, she stopped and said in a teasing tone.
"Almost forgot. I'm warning you in advance: Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen are very possessive beings, so next time, don't pull tricks like this again."
Hearing this, Aslan raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm… I'll be more careful next time."
"Just make sure you are."
Scathach said so, but her body gradually vanished in front of Aslan.
Seeing this, Aslan's eyes went blank for a moment. Then he reached out, popped the remaining fruit into his mouth, and muttered.
"As expected, I was warned? But I've been keeping my boundaries well."
Although the Halloween Queen and Shiroyasha had many conflicts, they hadn't reached an irreconcilable point.
At the very least, there was still room to maneuver.
After all, the Halloween Queen had invested heavily in him.
If nothing else, it was time to look at the Principle of Creation that the Halloween Queen had given him.
This was also Scathach's true purpose for coming to No Name. Everything else was secondary.
Only a precious resource like the Principle of Creation would make Scathach personally deliver it.
Aslan looked at the golden, glowing Gift Card that had somehow appeared in his hand and slightly closed his eyes.
After closing his eyes, he felt himself appear in a void, an endless chaos and darkness.
This was a place beyond the infinite world, where time, space, and even concepts didn't exist.
In this empty place, Aslan saw a dragon, a colossal dragon indescribable with words.
Even endless rivers of stars were tiny beside it. Planets and galaxies weren't worth mentioning.
Perhaps only a universe could compare to it?
(Wait, what's that?)
Aslan couldn't help but widen his eyes. What did he see on the dragon's back?
Was that a universe? No? It wasn't just a universe—it was countless overlapping spaces and times. It was a world, a complete world with countless parallel universes.
Seeing this, Aslan understood its identity. It was the World Dragon Kurma, one of the seventeen Full Authority Domains (Two-Digit Level).
This was the world creation process of the World Dragon Kurma, and also the Principle of Creation given to him by the Halloween Queen.
It allowed him to witness the entire world creation process of the World Dragon from the Halloween Queen's perspective.
Aslan kept watching, observing the creation process of the World Dragon Kurma.
Though he couldn't yet comprehend it, his instincts compelled him to keep watching.
Aslan was now in a strange state. His mind hadn't learned it, but his body's instincts had already grasped it.
He couldn't understand it, but he could strangely do it with ease.
Then the world dragon shed its shell, transforming into the primordial point of the world it created—or rather, the earliest heaven and earth.
The heavens began to rise, the earth began to shrink and break, turning into cosmic dust.
Matter began to form, stars were ignited, and gravity began to spin.
Finally, a complete universe was formed.
The entire world's time seemed to accelerate. It gradually expanded from a single point into a real world.
In the end, the world dragon took a scale from its body and cast it down as the starting point for the birth of life.
And it seemed this wasn't over yet.
(The sound of water? Where's the sound of flowing water coming from?)
Aslan only then realized that, at some point, the entire newly created universe had fallen into a river.
Or rather, this river was part of the universe. With the birth of life, countless river branches began to appear.
Was this the River of Time? Or different worldlines?
As Aslan pondered, the creation process ended.
However, the golden Gift Card in his hand still shone brightly. It didn't seem to be a one-time use?
Aslan felt that if he wanted, he could keep watching.
But feeling his slightly swollen brain, Aslan restrained himself from continuing.
The amount of information contained in the Principle of Creation was too vast. He still couldn't fully handle it.
He needed to rest a bit before continuing.
He didn't return empty-handed either.
Aslan slightly raised his hand, squinted his eyes, and let his power flow according to his instincts.
"Heaven! Earth!"
Moments later, a silhouette like a turtle shell appeared in his hand.
A turtle shell? More accurately, a sky like a pot lid, covering the earth in his hand.
"A flat world with a round sky and square earth?"
Aslan sensed what kind of world he could create now. Creating a universe was still too difficult for him.
He could only create a mini-world in the shape of a round sky and square earth, about the size of a city.
Rather than a world, Aslan felt it was more fitting to call it a plane.
He wasn't even sure if life could be born within it.
Then he compressed the mini-world he had just created into a land card and stored it.
"Central Core, check my Spirit Status."
[Spirit Status: Planeswalker (???) Four-Digit]
[Core Authority: Authority of Creation (??)]
[Evaluation: Incomprehensible, unknown potential, highly recommended for deep development.]
Seeing the evaluation from Little Garden's Central Core, Aslan couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems this world creation power is useful for you too."
