He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 393 Shiva: Is it finally my turn?

Sky Army Headquarters, conference room.

That's roughly the situation.

Sitting next to Athena, Su Nian talked about the results of her Black Sky collaboration.

Hei Tian was quite cooperative, or rather, he had no reason not to cooperate, since it was beneficial to him in any way.

"The only regrettable thing is that Typhon ran too fast."

Su Nian shook his head helplessly, saying that he was also quite disappointed that he hadn't caught Typhon.

"It's okay, he's not an important person anyway."

Athena shook her head and said that her attitude towards Typhon was similar to that towards Argel: if they could catch him, they would make a good fuss over him; if not, then so be it.

Tiphon is not a key factor affecting the overall situation; its presence or absence makes little difference.

"By the way, Canary, have you received any good news from Indra?"

Upon hearing this, the canary, dressed in extremely revealing clothing that could easily expose herself, gave Su Nian a resentful look before beginning to explain.

"That's more like good news."

"The remains of Kali Joga from her last descent were made into an avatar by Shiva and then contained."

"That is, Kali, the wife in the Shiva mythology."

Shiva, or Parvati, was originally one of the top life goddesses in the Little Garden, but later, for some unknown reason, she became involved in the competition for Shiva's spiritual status.

And he defeated countless rivals who coveted Shiva's spirituality, finally reaping the fruits of victory and becoming an being who possessed the essence of both Shiva, the god of destruction, and Parvati, the goddess of life.

Yes, that's right. My wife is a completely new way for me to play.

However, this all happened in the early days of the dawn of the Sand Garden, when the Hindu pantheon had just been established, and the end of the Sand Garden was still a long way off.

However, it was something else that made Shiva famous. At that time, the Hindu pantheon studied Hanuman, the ultimate trial of mankind who sincerely believed in the gods, which caused a backlash in human history, resulting in Kali Yoga's premature arrival.

It was Shiva who ultimately succeeded in defeating Kali Yoga and crossing over her, while Indra merely rescued the Hindu pantheon at the end.

It was Shiva who fought Kali Yoga head-on; at that time, Indra, being only a second-ranking deity, was not qualified to participate in the battle.

However, Shiva also knew that the bigger the tree, the more the wind would blow against it, so he voluntarily gave this part of the credit to Indra.

It was because of this experience that Indra later created the Brahma Spear, a manifestation of his cosmic truth, as the foundation of the Hindu pantheon.

If Indra hadn't been so eager to reach double digits, the Hindu pantheon wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

It can only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate.

Listening to the canary's explanation, Su Nian subconsciously glanced at Athena and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Athena did not have much of a reaction.

But then Su Nian's expression gradually turned strange, and she said.

"So, the fastest way to become Kali Yoga is to obtain the spirit of the goddess Kali?"

Upon hearing this, the canary nodded silently without saying a word.

I can't laugh, I really can't laugh. If I laugh out loud, my life will be completely over.

Uh...it seems like it's already over? Well, that's alright then.

The canary breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile curving its lips.

As expected of the new champion certified by the Little Garden as the "Most Incompetent Wife," Athena has taken away Hera's title.

Even at this point, can't she protect her man?
Athena, who was invincible on the battlefield, ultimately suffered a crushing defeat in love.

It seems they sensed what the canary was thinking... no, not sensed it, the canary's thoughts were actually completely transparent to them.

Athena frowned in displeasure and looked at the canary.

The canary seemed to realize something, and quickly withdrew its beak, controlling its inner turmoil.

But I'm sorry, sir, this is too difficult.

Athena sighed softly and looked at Su Nian.

"You... never mind, sigh..."

"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

Athena couldn't understand why things had turned out this way... why she was always the one who ended up getting hurt.

As she spoke, Athena waved her hand dismissively.

"Go ahead and go find Shiva. You don't expect me to prepare a dowry for you, do you?"

Seeing Athena like this, Su Nian gave a dry laugh, turned around and pushed open the door.

After Su Nian left, Athena looked at the canary with a gloomy expression.

"You seemed to be laughing quite happily just now?"

Canary: ...Children, do you think I'll live to see tomorrow?

……

The headquarters of the Heavenly Army was located in a vast building that resembled a church or temple from every angle.

A magnificent, golden hall.

A tall, black-haired woman with a vermilion dot between her eyebrows, wearing a long black dress, sat cross-legged on the ground, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she were having a sweet dream.

At this moment, Su Nian pushed the door open and came in. She glanced at Shiva sitting cross-legged on the ground and said with a slight twitch of her lips.

"I'm paying you such a high salary, and you still have the nerve to slack off here?"

Shiva slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Su Nian, and then said.

"Your Highness Su Nian? Why aren't you with Athena, keeping her company? What are you looking for me for?"

Su Nian didn't answer, but walked to Shiva's side, picked up the water jug ​​inlaid with seven-colored gemstones from the cabinet next to her, and poured herself a drink.

"It's nothing major, just asking if you'd be interested in selling the spirit of Goddess Kali?"

Upon hearing this, Shiva opened his eyes and said with a slightly surprised tone.

"Is it finally my turn?"

Unexpectedly, Shiva finally got to latch onto a powerful figure. Heaven knows how envious she was of Athena.

They were all goddesses of similar stature, and Athena was even inferior to her, yet Athena not only secured her position as the ruler of the heavenly army, but also became a double-digit number of goddesses.

This frustrated her for quite a while, even though she was the one who met Su Nian first.

Even Su Nian's "first time" was taken by her.

But why was it Athena in the end? Although Athena's antics were indeed quite amusing, as she actually took away Hera's title as the most incompetent wife in the Little Garden.

Then the newspaper was shut down by the Tianjun (the military).

As for who gave the order? Oh dear, it's hard to guess, isn't it? Athena.

"That's true, after all, I was the one who took Xiao Su Nian's 'first time'."

Shiva stood up, quite pleased with herself, and poured herself a glass of wine. This meant that her mountain of debt could finally be paid off—five hundred powers… Even if Indra were to constantly extort and embezzle, it would still take him fifty thousand years to pay it off.

I have to say, using marriage to settle debts is a really good idea.

Upon hearing this, Su Nian's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but complain.

"Let me correct you, what you took was only my first time igniting my cosmos, nothing else!!"

"Don't act like you bullied me and are now going to take responsibility."

"It's already good enough that I didn't ask you for a bride price."

And even now, Su Nian still has one question she really wants to complain about: why is it that she always ends up in the woman's position?

Athena's queen of the gods? Kali, Shiva's wife? Can't they be a little more normal?

"And as for your debt problem? Don't try to pin it on me, figure it out yourself."

Su Nian had no intention of being taken advantage of, especially since he and Shiva had only met a few times and were not even acquaintances, let alone anything more intimate.

"Tsk, did the marriage attempt to settle the debt fail?"

Shiva couldn't help but click his tongue, and his gaze towards Su Nian was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

After all, there are very few people in the small garden who can help her pay off her debts. It's just so tragic... A perfectly wealthy woman has ended up like this, burdened with debt.

"So, what do you intend to do with the spirit of the goddess Kali that you're asking me for?"

Shiva opened his eyes and looked calmly at Su Niandao.

"The secret of Kali's spirit is probably known to no one in the Little Garden except for Indra, right?"

This is her most powerful incarnation, even stronger than herself as the God of Destruction.

It is also the secret weapon of the Hindu pantheon, enabling them to live as long as heaven and earth when they are in a truly critical moment.

"Oh, the canary asked Indra for it, after all, it concerns the survival of the Little Garden..."

At this point, Su Nian looked at Shiva and said with a slight upturn of her lips.

"And then there's your chance to become a two-digit number."

Upon hearing this, Shiva remained silent for a moment, and then, before Su Nian could even react, he knelt down on one knee and addressed her.

"Su Nian, marry me."

"Just tell me how much the bride price is, and I'll borrow it for you even if it means going bankrupt."

"..."

Su Nian's lips twitched slightly as she retorted.

"You should at least have some integrity."

"Integrity? What is that? Can it buy you a chance to become a double-digit number?"

Shiva tapped his ear with his little finger.

You know, as long as you marry Su Nian, you can become a double-digit number. Believe it or not, the goddesses who propose to you could line up from inside the garden to outside.

Another reason why Athena has such a bad reputation is because of those jealous goddesses.

Athena's virginity was already not well-received by the other goddesses, but you managed to latch onto her coattails and ride the wave of her rise to become the ruler of the heavenly army and a double-digit number of troops. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Why wasn't it me who was chosen by Kurima and Su Nian?
"Okay, you win."

Su Nian was silent for a moment, indicating that Shiva had successfully persuaded him.

In fact, his becoming Kali Yoga was not only an opportunity for him to deal with the One God, but also the long-awaited opportunity for Shiva to become a two-digit number.

As for Shiva's debt? While five hundred powers might seem like an astronomical sum for a three-digit number, for a two-digit number? It's nothing.

Once you reach double digits, the debt will be paid off sooner or later.

"So when are we going to get our marriage certificate?"

Shiva excitedly grabbed Su Nian's arm; she couldn't wait to prepare for becoming a two-digit number.

Are you sure you want to get the marriage certificate?

Su Nian gave Shiva a strange look. Did this guy really not know that he was dancing in Athena's minefield?
Is he afraid of not dying fast enough?
"Hmm... indeed, today doesn't seem to be an auspicious time."

Shiva stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Then let's postpone it for a few days."

Shiva isn't stupid, or rather, as a worker who takes on multiple jobs to pay off his debts, Shiva isn't as deaf as Su Nian and the others think.

She was just an observer of what Canary had done before, but who could have imagined that Canary would cause such a big disaster?
It can only be said that Su Nian went too far; the canary was actually able to survive and inquire about Kali Yoga from Emperor Shitian.

As for any other inside information? She was entitled to know, but she didn't want to.

With a mountain of debt looming over me, how can I have the time to think about anything else? Heaven knows how long I'll have to pay off this debt in this lifetime.

"What kind of gift do you think I should give to Athena, darling?"

Shiva has begun to see himself as Su Nian's wife.

Although she couldn't say her feelings for Su Nian were particularly deep, she would still fulfill her duties as a wife (actually a husband in a mythological sense) for helping her achieve double-digit enlightenment.

Moreover, this is also a kind of exchange of benefits, a marriage-like arrangement to gain assistance in breaking through double digits.

For Shiva, this was a very worthwhile deal.

"I think the greatest gift is that you just behave yourself now."

Su Nian shook her head slightly and said helplessly.

Before he could even say anything, Shiva had already assumed his own identity.

Although in the end, this is the only possible outcome.

We're all adults; how many people would like someone who constantly uses so-called favors to manipulate them?
The proverb "A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment" needs no further explanation, right?

Bringing people together into a group through marriage is actually more readily accepted.

"That won't do, darling."

Shiva shook her head. She could be obsequious to Su Nian, but she would rather not be in the presence of Athena, who was in a similar situation.

"This is a matter of principle."

Athena only benefited from going first, and in that respect, she was even inferior to Alger.

Therefore, this initial establishment of authority and declaration of her stance was definitely necessary; she was confident that she would be no weaker than Athena after becoming a double-digit figure.

It would be a joke that the Triads, who specialize in destruction and represent the end, are weaker than Athena in terms of combat power.

In matters of great importance, or when facing enemies, she stated that she could stand on the same side as Athena and be inseparable from her, but in ordinary times, it was best to leave it at that.

Of course, it wasn't like Arger, who didn't give Athena any kind look; she was simply trying to achieve an equal status with Athena.

The proper respect should still be shown, after all, Athena is the "official wife," even though this official wife is slightly "greened" (cuckolded).
