"Kid, you've really gained a huge advantage."
Shiroyasha patted Aslan's shoulder and said with a smile.
Hearing Shiroyasha's voice, Karyou grew even angrier.
"Shiroyasha, you dare speak!"
Karyou pointed at Shiroyasha and asked furiously. Golden Wing Flame gathered in Karyou's hand.
Instantly, under the burning heat of the Golden Wing Flame, even the space here faintly crackled.
The space seemed to burn and explode from the scorching temperature.
If Shiroyasha didn't give her an explanation, Karyou would make her suffer—even if she had to risk her life.
Although her Golden Wing Flame couldn't cause the slightest damage to Shiroyasha.
How could fire burn the sun?
Yet, seeing Karyou angry as if wanting to kill her, Shiroyasha still smiled.
"Karyou-chan is getting cuter and cuter. I really feel reluctant to let go of Karyou-chan."
However, listening to Shiroyasha's tone that showed absolutely no reluctance, she even pretended to wipe a tear from the corner of her eye.
Karyou didn't feel touched at all. She only felt Shiroyasha was even more annoying.
Her eyes were full of disgust. Even the little favorable impression left for Aslan disappeared because of Shiroyasha.
"Hypocrite."
Karyou couldn't help but spit.
Seeing the reactions of Shiroyasha and Karyou, Aslan finally understood what was happening.
So, learning the Golden Wing Flame also came with getting Karyou for free?
He felt this was Shiroyasha's true intention.
Although Shiroyasha herself hadn't expected he'd learn the Golden Wing Flame so quickly.
"Alright, don't be angry, Karyou-chan."
Shiroyasha saw her anger and extended her dirty hand to pinch Karyou's cheek, but Karyou slapped it away.
Although Karyou's hand still carried Golden Wing Flame, it caused no effect on Shiroyasha. Not even the edge of her clothes was burned.
"The main thing is I didn't expect this kid could learn it this fast."
Shiroyasha sighed and said somewhat helplessly. Her original intention was just to let these two young ones interact for a while.
Best case, they'd spark something, and then Aslan would learn the Golden Wing Flame.
Finally, she'd raise a little Golden-Winged Great Roc for Shiroyasha to nurture... no, to educate.
But it had just begun, and everything had already turned out like this.
"So, why don't you two just get married?"
After being slapped by Karyou, Shiroyasha didn't get angry. She still spoke with a smile and kissed the spot Karyou had just hit.
"Touched by Karyou-chan, I've decided—in the next hundred years, I won't wash this hand."
Hearing Shiroyasha's words, Aslan and Karyou simultaneously showed expressions of disgust. And Karyou felt even more regretful.
She felt like she'd just been licked by a dog again.
"Boss, act normal."
(Seriously, can't she be a bit calmer? If it were me, I'd be happy quietly, not shouting)
After being reminded by Aslan, Shiroyasha also became slightly more serious. She took out her fan and looked at Aslan and Karyou.
"So, what do you two think now?"
"Will you get married right here? Or..."
But before Shiroyasha finished speaking, the sacred, scorching Golden Wing Flame shot straight at her face.
Then Shiroyasha gently waved her fan and gathered the flames.
Karyou glared at Shiroyasha with embarrassment and anger. She didn't want to enter the marriage grave so soon.
She was only slightly over a thousand years old.
Of course, Karyou wasn't just glaring at Shiroyasha—she hadn't forgotten about Aslan either.
She couldn't deal with Shiroyasha, but she could deal with Aslan, right?
Facing Karyou's expression that seemed to say, "If you say one wrong word, I'll destroy you,"
"As for Aslan, what do you think?"
Seeing Shiroyasha smiling and Karyou threatening him with her eyes, Aslan said somewhat helplessly,
"Of course, I'll follow my teacher's opinion."
After all, he'd already gained a lot—there was no loss at all.
Although he quite liked Karyou, he also had no desire to enter the marriage grave so soon.
"Hmm, in that case, you two should at least get engaged."
Shiroyasha decided, making the final judgment as the elder.
"After all, Karyou-chan, don't you also not want to be bothered by the elders in your clan?"
One well-known fact: the stronger the existence, the harder it is to have offspring.
Of course, the Greek Pantheon was an exception. There, because of Eros, the primordial god of passion, having offspring wasn't difficult—but having high-quality offspring was.
In fact, the chance of giving birth to a demon child was greater than a normal child.
Whereas the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan were Divine Beasts. Having offspring was difficult.
It could even be said that Karyou was the only young generation in the direct lineage of the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan.
With Karyou's talent, becoming a Three-Digit wasn't difficult for her. And if she didn't produce offspring before becoming a Three-Digit, the Golden-Winged Great Roc clan could be considered extinct.
So, Old Roc King was extremely worried about Karyou's marriage.
As for bloodline purity, that wasn't a big issue. There were so many Gifts in Little Garden—just purify the bloodline.
Losing the inheritance and extinction were the real major problems.
As for whether they could maintain the inheritance another way?
If the elders in the clan weren't so conservative, Karyou wouldn't be so troubled.
"That's a good idea?"
Listening to Shiroyasha's words, Karyou fell silent for a moment, then looked at Aslan again.
"Alright, seems this is the only way."
Karyou sighed helplessly. At this moment, she felt she'd truly fallen into a pit.
"But, if you want to marry me, at least you must be able to defeat me!"
Karyou stared sharply at him. If she weren't certain that Aslan truly knew nothing, and all this was a plan by Shiroyasha and her father, she truly wouldn't be able to hold back from attacking.
And now? What could she do? Could she run away?
Well, let it be. She'd stall as long as possible. Aslan was now only a Five-Digit.
Even if Aslan could become a Four-Digit, it would take at least several hundred years for him to grow into someone who could defeat her.
In these few hundred years, Karyou wouldn't just stand still either.
Note:
Little Garden Combat Power System
(For reference only—not for battle, only for destructive capability. Rough and blurry descriptions.)
- One-Digit: Infinite Multiverse
- Two-Digit: Multiverse
- Three-Digit: Star System – Super Single
(In Little Garden, due to output limits, everything is at the lowest output level: Star System. Combat output doesn't affect much. Especially dependent on Authority, Another Cosmology, Gift, Divine Relic, and other mechanisms.)
- Four-Digit: Planet Buster – Star
(Highest output at the lower levels is Star-level. Star System-level can only be achieved by the Greek God King Pantheon, which heavily suppresses their levels. They're equivalent to Three-Digits. Usually, overpowered Four-Digit combat strength is Star-level.)
- Five-Digit: Surface – Planet Buster
- Six-Digit: City – Country
- Seven-Digit: Normal human – Street Buster
Of course, if a Three-Digit isn't in Little Garden, or is in a Game Field, or after activating Host Master Authority, they can unleash their full power.
Four-Digits and Three-Digits who activate Host Master Authority automatically enter a Game Field.
In the upper levels of Little Garden, universe-level Game Fields still exist.
If they don't activate a Game Field and their output threatens Little Garden's safety, Decadence will occur.
Considering I'll write A Certain Magical Index in the future, the combat power has been slightly enhanced.
