However, this Spirit Status alone wasn't enough to quell Athena's anger.
"Of course I know that."
Aslan pinched Athena's slightly panicked face, chuckling as he spoke.
Athena genuinely couldn't laugh now. If her ears didn't deceive her.
Just now, that other Medusa seemed to say there was another Athena, no weaker than her?
What kind of colossal bad luck had befallen her?
Trinitarian Athena, but now, there were two other versions of herself, far more terrifying than the King of the End.
And it seemed… those two, Medusa and Athena, were enemies…
Athena only felt her vision darken. Why did she have to learn such heartbreaking news?
With her wisdom, she also knew about counterparts.
As she understood, this world had different parallel worlds, plus a Ghost World crossing all worlds, and the Domain of Immortality standing above all worlds.
The Original Body of the current Heretic Gods lived in the Domain of Immortality at the multiverse's edge.
So, in reality, it wasn't just a few hundred Earth Spirits from one world forming mythologies and using alternate identities.
But hundreds of Earth Spirits from the entire multiverse, over three thousand parallel worlds, forming this multiverse mythology.
Yet even so, Athena had never seen an existence stronger and more terrifying than Algol before her.
That fearsome Divinity, as if it could petrify the entire sun with a glance, made her tremble.
Even Zeus, at the peak of Steel Gods who usurped Earth Mothers' status, wasn't a ten-thousandth as strong as Algol.
(Note: Zeus's display in the Domain of Immortality can unleash lightning at 150 kilometers per second. Poseidon can strike seventeen times in 0.1 seconds.)
But her two counterparts were so powerful. And there seemed to be enmity between that Athena and Medusa.
This wasn't good news for her.
This meant, if lucky, she might lose two-thirds of her essence. If unlucky, she'd likely become a punching bag for Athena and Medusa.
Now, the latter outcome seemed highly probable.
"But AI-chan, what if we give Athena a path to Two-Digit, and directly reveal this path?"
Aslan's mouth curved into a wicked smile. Of course, he knew that with Athena's current state, under the watch of Saint Seiya's Athena, she had no chance of becoming Two-Digit. Even if she fought and succeeded, condensing a Two-Digit Spirit Status, she'd likely become nourishment for the Athena who mastered the Will of the Gods during absorption.
If she was a bit less lucky, Little Garden's existence could even be exposed.
Thousands of Worlds, different paths to the same goal.
Aslan didn't believe the peak of the Cosmo System didn't require absorbing one's own existence or have a Uniqueness requirement.
It was just a matter of time.
However, Aslan suspected that when the Cosmo System began absorbing, it'd likely start at the Super God realm to absorb Uniqueness.
A more representative existence was Zeus. Saint Seiya's Zeus was far stronger than Athena, nearly Omniscient and Omnipotent.
But he vanished one day, pursuing the mystery before the Big Bang, the True Cosmo Mystery.
Yet Little Garden's Zeus was still normal, not absorbed.
Likely, Little Garden's Zeus was warned when preparing to become Two-Digit.
Athena might not be the first unlucky one.
"With the Trinitarian Athena Spirit Status as a base, combining other possibilities, stacking a majestic Spirit Status enough to support Two-Digit, wouldn't that be easy?"
As he spoke, Aslan shared his understanding of this world with Algol.
Algol pursed her lips slightly upon hearing it.
She'd lived in Little Garden for years. The number of worlds she observed wasn't small. Even worlds with mythological worldviews, she'd seen plenty.
But this was the first time she saw a world with such an abstract worldview.
What the heck? Hundreds of Earth Spirits supporting an entire mythology system? Every God averaging dozens of alternate identities…
Wouldn't this make Little Garden's Gods fight until their brains spilled out? Until Two-Digits intervened.
But it must be said, using this world for experiments and verifying possibilities was fantastic.
Creating several Two-Digit paths wouldn't be surprising. What's a God Genealogy? That's a little brother before the God Slayer world.
Honestly, if she hadn't set her path, she wouldn't know where to direct her excitement.
"But this is too cheap for that ugly woman."
Algol said with slight displeasure. Wasn't she Aslan's first counterpart?
And she'd bet everything on Aslan.
Yet now, Aslan was preparing to help that ugly Athena become Two-Digit first?
"Relax, how could I let Athena get such a bargain?"
Aslan waved casually, smiling.
"Know this, this world's mythology was woven by human Ancient Sages to bind those Earth Spirits, the current Gods."
"What's called a Heretic God means a God heretical to Mythology."
Algol paused, looking at Aslan.
After a long time, she spoke.
"Sometimes, AI-chan really thinks the Problem Child title should go to you."
"Compared to you, AI-chan even feels like a good girl."
Algol thought about what happened in Little Garden since Aslan arrived.
What Problem Child? Aslan was the true Problem Child, the Master of Trouble Making.
And this guy hadn't been exposed or beaten to death yet.
If this world's worldview was observed by Little Garden's Central Core, and related possibilities absorbed by the Gods, the question of whether Humans created Gods or Gods created Humans wouldn't need an answer—it'd be resolved directly.
This paradox… hmm, can't call it a paradox, right? In short, Little Garden shamelessly made this a paradox to scam… no, to gain Merit and Faith from Human History.
That's false propaganda.
But once this falsehood was exposed, what would happen? Sorry, Algol couldn't imagine it.
The more likely outcome was that this world would be obliterated by Two-Digits once observed by Little Garden's Central Core.
If not handled well, future Three-Digits would only have Star Spirits and Dragon Species left.
Gods and Buddhas all wiped out, none escaping.
This was far fiercer than the Last Trial of Mankind.
The Last Trial of Mankind still had to eradicate Pantheons one by one.
"Hehe."
Hearing Algol's praise, Aslan smiled innocently, looking slightly shy.
"You think AI-chan's praising you?"
Algol snapped, knocking his head. Aslan's胆子 was truly huge.
Humans in this world wove mythology to bind Gods, plus the previous world where humans defeated Gods.
These two possibilities combined… Algol didn't dare imagine how many lives Aslan had to spare for death.
Could Shiroyasha really bear this responsibility?
"AI-chan, did you forget what we did in the previous world?"
Aslan pulled out his Unofficial History, waving it before Algol.
How could a shy, cautious person like him take such a huge risk?
Look, when had he ever been caught?
Now Little Garden still saw him as the last hope against Angra Mainyu.
Though his status in the Gods' hearts wasn't as high as Canaria's, it wasn't far off.
After all, he'd altered history once, so doing it again was no big deal.
But the issue was, Aslan seemed to have heard this world was a multiverse worldview.
The Unofficial History might not suffice.
Though the Divine Authorities Gods wielded in this world, compared to Little Garden's Authorities, were mere fragments.
But Fragment Authorities were still Authorities. Could any Authority evade Unofficial History's modification?
So Aslan decided to study it a bit before causing more trouble. He'd just obtained two Authorities from Krishna.
Might as well see if he could upgrade the Unofficial History, refining it into a Divine Authority Artifact.
"Whatever you want…"
Algol's mouth twitched. This time, she had to keep a close eye on him. The trouble Aslan caused was just too big.
She didn't want Aslan, whom she'd bet everything on, to end up like her, sealed.
"What do you think of the Sole God • Trinitarian Athena Spirit Status? Does it qualify for Two-Digit?"
"You want Athena to kill you?"
Aslan really wanted to offend Athena to death.
Hearing this, Aslan rolled his eyes, glancing at Algol.
"As if this Foolish Adina wouldn't be killed once exposed."
"I don't think Athena will stay calm and maintain an alliance with me after seeing Foolish Adina."
Still, Aslan felt a bit bad for Athena; after all, she'd been pretty good to him.
But as he said before, he and Athena really weren't compatible. Even Fate showed this.
Otherwise, how could he meet this Trinitarian Athena?
As for why Sole God? Because he wanted to use a fictional mythology to replace this world's original mythology.
That way, only a handful of Gods might survive.
Wouldn't the survivors become Sole Gods?
No way it'd be Sole God Arthur, right?
