"Isn't it normal for a Queen to give proper affection to a loyal knight?"
(But is that what shocked me?)
The corner of Shiroyasha's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She glared at the Halloween Queen with a dark expression.
"You're not trying to kidnap Aslan this way, are you?"
"Or… could it be you've actually been conquered by Aslan?"
Speaking to this point, Shiroyasha's expression turned a bit strange.
The unexpected shock was too great, calming her down instead of fueling her emotions.
Was Aslan's charm really that immense? She spent every day with him yet felt nothing.
She truly didn't know how Algol and Athena had knelt under Aslan's pants.
Now the Halloween Queen had to be added.
"You're not seriously planning to become the wife of my subordinate god, are you?"
Speaking to this point, Shiroyasha grew a bit impatient.
Family could strictly mean a close relationship like junior or disciple. If the Halloween Queen truly had a relationship with Aslan—
Wouldn't that mean she, Shiroyasha, automatically became one generation senior to the Halloween Queen?
Hearing Shiroyasha's slightly excited words, the Halloween Queen raised an eyebrow and calmly said,
"You got one thing wrong. Right now, he should be part of my family."
"What?"
This time, Shiroyasha was truly shocked.
Damn—she finally realized what the Halloween Queen had just done: dividing her Spirit Status to Aslan.
While she herself had only previously bestowed Divinity upon Aslan.
Dividing and sharing part of one's Spirit Status, and bestowing Divinity—both create a family relationship, but there's a difference between one family and another.
Can a subordinate god be the same as true family?
At this moment, the Halloween Queen calmly said,
"Oh right—now there's not a trace of your aura left in his body. He's already taken my form."
(Halloween form… a more intimate family relationship…)
Shiroyasha's face finally changed.
At this moment, the Halloween Queen didn't forget to deliver the finishing blow, continuing softly,
"I suppose it won't be long before all of Little Garden knows about our relationship."
"Now, you're the third party kept by my family."
(No… I… You…)
Shiroyasha's eyes spun. In this instant, she was dizzy from the Halloween Queen's words.
"No! You're the third party! Don't forget this guy's legal wife is Karyou!"
Karyou: Huh? I'm fighting the Halloween Queen?
Even Aslan, pretending to be dead, nearly couldn't hold back.
(Shiroyasha, are you really willing to do anything not to lose to the Queen?)
The Halloween Queen couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.
"Almost forgot—there's that little bird too."
Hearing Karyou might get involved, Aslan couldn't stay silent this time. This was no longer a level where he could keep pretending to be dead.
Conflicts between Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen—let them stay between them. Aslan didn't care, but if others got involved, he had to step in.
"Enough."
Aslan growled softly, standing up from the embrace of the Halloween Queen and Shiroyasha.
His voice was full of strength—no longer the frail appearance from before.
The one gravely injured was Arthur—what did that have to do with Aslan?
"Naughty kid—so you weren't hurt? You scared me."
Teenage-girl Shiroyasha patted her chest, relieved.
She didn't mind Aslan pretending to be injured—his earlier state had been somewhat frightening.
"I was almost hurt."
Aslan sighed exhaustedly. If Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen truly fought, that would be the real problem.
Otherwise, why pretend to be sick—even if it was partly real, since his accounts weren't linked?
Wasn't it to prevent a fight between the Halloween Queen and Shiroyasha?
Both were existences that could go all-out in Little Garden. If they truly fought, could Little Garden survive?
The previous battle against Judas—if the Halloween Queen hadn't summoned Khaos as the battlefield—countless worlds would have been destroyed, countless universes collapsed.
Now swapping to Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen—the battle's scale would only be greater.
It would truly destroy Little Garden.
At this moment, Shiroyasha curiously stroked Aslan's body—like Indra earlier.
No—this was even more excessive than Indra.
Shiroyasha's small hands didn't seem very proper—especially passing over Aslan's six-pack abs, her speed even slowed. Especially when her cold fingertips touched.
It felt like Aslan was being molested by Shiroyasha.
"Had enough stroking?"
Aslan stared expressionlessly at Shiroyasha—stroking, rubbing, and tapping in front of him.
"Yo, angry."
Shiroyasha looked up, glanced at him, and laughed.
"I'm your Main God. What's wrong with inspecting a subordinate god's body?"
(Is this what you call inspecting? I feel awkward exposing you.)
Aslan stared speechlessly at the shameless Shiroyasha. If she weren't his Main God, she should be under him right now.
(And I'm explaining the reason—why are you starting to inspect?)
"Fine, fine. But why are you completely unharmed when earlier you looked half-dead?"
"No—more precisely, how did you survive in Arthur's state?"
Shiroyasha was truly curious—especially the last question.
Aslan in Arthur's state, to her, was like stuffing a multiverse into a water cup. The cup would definitely shatter.
Aslan in Arthur's state was that shattered state—yet strangely, Aslan maintained the water cup's form: only cracked, not destroyed.
Truly… miraculous.
"Isn't this the effect of my Gift? I remember telling you—even a Two-Digit like you can't affect it?"
Aslan stared speechlessly at Shiroyasha.
(Really lying around too long without using your brain—even your brain degraded?)
Wasn't this something he told Shiroyasha when he first arrived in Little Garden?
"Ahem ahem~"
Shiroyasha coughed awkwardly twice, not daring to meet Aslan's and the frowning Halloween Queen's eyes beside him.
"Then what about the aftermath? The Arthur card should be destroyed, right?"
Shiroyasha raised her hand to her mouth, cleared her throat, and stiffly changed the topic.
"That needs to be discussed with my war spoils."
Aslan nodded slightly, then pulled out a cracked Truth from Arthur's Spirit Status.
"This… Truth?"
Shiroyasha widened her eyes, saying in slight disbelief. Though nearly destroyed, it was still Truth—a Two-Digit Universal Truth.
"Yes—this is Jesus's Miracle Truth."
If not for Judas's overuse—even summoning the Monotheistic God Yahweh—Miracle wouldn't possibly be damaged this far.
Miracle: turning the impossible into possible.
This was also the true reason a bug like the Monotheistic God could be summoned—because it was a miracle.
Now Arthur's Spirit Status and Arthur card remaining intact—this too was a miracle.
As for how this fell into his hands—remember the previous Messiah Spirit Status? Part of the Miracle Truth was hidden within the Messiah Spirit Status.
After erasing the Monotheistic God—relying on Little Garden's Central Core and the miracle brought by Miracle itself—
The Truth of Miracle that should have vanished was miraculously preserved—only needing repair.
"Naughty kid—you really hit the jackpot."
Shiroyasha stared in shock at the Miracle in Aslan's hand. She originally thought Aslan would only have Two-Digit Spirit Status thanks to the Last King—without matching Truth.
Now even Truth was there.
How long had it been? Aslan had stepped into the sky in one leap—becoming Two-Digit?
Only repairing Truth might be a bit troublesome.
"Lucky the Holy Son was Judas—otherwise I feel I might not have beaten the Holy Son."
Shiroyasha sighed with slight shock.
Miracle—turning the impossible into possible—was enough to give Shiroyasha a headache.
"Unfortunately, repair might be a bit troublesome."
Aslan said somewhat sadly—gathering enough miracles to repair the Miracle Truth.
Who knew how to gather enough miracles.
Shiroyasha's eyelids twitched, holding back the urge to roll her eyes, saying in disbelief,
"Getting Truth for free—and you're still unhappy? Want to trade for my Sun Authority?"
"Forget it—I don't want it."
Aslan shook his head without hesitation. Though Sun Authority's value strictly equaled Truth—the point was, could he release Sun Authority? This thing was locked dead—forcibly turned into a charger and some Central Cap.
Don't mention others—even current Shiroyasha couldn't do such a thing. Maybe Shiroyasha during the Last Trial of Mankind could?
"Fine—the issue's resolved. Time to head back."
Aslan yawned. Today had truly exhausted him. Too many changes—he needed to sort and calm down.
Of course, most importantly—he'd finally diverted attention from the earlier issue. Not in vain pulling out this Truth war spoil.
Now, as long as he went home—the matter was settled.
"Wait!"
Shiroyasha suddenly called. Aslan's heart pounded.
"Almost forgot—drink my blood. It's time our relationship advances further."
Aslan glanced awkwardly at the Halloween Queen. Seeing no reaction, he felt relieved.
"Alright."
Saying so, Aslan stood, grabbed Shiroyasha's hand, preparing to suck her finger.
The next second—the Halloween Queen swept her leg—knocking Aslan and Shiroyasha down together.
Then coincidentally—their lips met. Coincidentally, Aslan's teeth grazed Shiroyasha's tongue until it bled.
Feeling the sweetness in his mouth, Shiroyasha's beautiful golden eyes, and the connection formed with Shiroyasha on his Spirit Status—
Aslan and Shiroyasha were both stunned—lying on the ground like that—only reacting after a while.
Aslan secretly glanced at Shiroyasha's eyes for a moment—seeing her face full of shame and panic.
Stunned for a second—without hesitation, Aslan shouted,
"Damn Halloween Queen!!!"
Shiroyasha of course instantly understood Aslan's meaning—and couldn't help wailing,
"Damn Halloween Queen!!!"
Yes—exactly—this was all the Halloween Queen's fault.
