Although some of them possessed four-figure combat power, compared to the previous provincial level, they were only a handful, no longer the glorious force they once were.

As the leader who has been in complete control of the Celtic pantheon, the Halloween Queen knows the past of this small pantheon better than anyone else.

Therefore, she knew better than anyone else that Cú Chulainn's divine weapon should not appear in the outside world, at least not in the hands of the White Demon.

"White Demon, where did you get this weapon?"

The Halloween Queen narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone tinged with doubt.

The gods of the Celtic pantheon all withdrew from the scene as early as the dawn of the Little Garden, including Cú Chulainn's father, the sun god Rug.

As a hero in Celtic mythology, Cú Chulainn made many contributions during the mythological revival led by the Halloween Queen.

However, he perished during the battle against the dystopian demon king and was never summoned again.

To obtain his power, one must either have a relationship with Cú Chulainn during the dystopian war, or obtain it from Scáthach, the creator of the magic spear.

Obviously, the White Demon's channel could not be the latter.

"Hehe~ Guess?"

When confronted with the Halloween Queen's question, White Yaksha revealed a sly smile.

Before the queen could get angry, she activated the power she had learned from Su Mo, and with a flash of light, a sharp sword shining with golden light appeared in her hand.

Although this weapon, which also simulates a godhood, was not entirely made by Scáthach, she still recognized its name.

"The Sword of Victory in Rotation?!"

The Queen of the Land of Shadows couldn't help but gasp, her gaze towards the White Demon filled with shock.

"How is this possible?! How did Gawain's holy sword end up in your hands?!"

In the world of the Little Garden, whether it is the heroes of the Red Branch Knights or the heroes of the Avalon Knights, their martial arts originate mostly from Scáthach.

As a powerful being who has transcended the realm of gods and reached the realm of the abyss, Scáthach's martial arts skills are among the best in the entire Little Garden, and even the gods cannot match her.

Although she had never personally taught Gao Wen, she was still very familiar with this student.

The power of the Sun's Authority, a gift from the Queen, is sealed within the Sword of Victory. Given Gawain's character, it's impossible for him to pass it on to someone else without consulting the Queen.

So, how did the White Yaksha get his hands on it?

"White Demon, I advise you to stop being vague and explain yourself clearly!"

If Scáthach's tone was merely one of surprise, the Halloween Queen's tone carried a hint of chill.

She not only knew that Gawain wouldn't do such a thing, but she also connected it to the destruction of the Knights of Avalon.

If the inheritance of the Sword of Victory was not given away by Gawain voluntarily, then it could only have been stolen by someone else.

In his experience, the only chance he might have been abducted was the night the entire Knights were wiped out on the eve of the battle against the dystopian Demon King.

“Even if you couldn’t have been involved in that matter, if you deliberately concealed clues, I would have no choice but to consider you as a suspect.”

The Queen's pretty face was icy cold, as if her sore spot had been touched.

Even when she recalls the most unpleasant memories, she can maintain basic composure.

Given White Demon's style of doing things and her long-standing inclinations, it's impossible for her to be involved in the Demon King's attack.

But despite her words, this was the first time in so many years that she had encountered a clue related to that attack, so she naturally couldn't let it go easily.

"Well, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush!"

From the Halloween Queen's attitude, White Yaksha astutely judged that Su Mo's speculation was correct: there must be an unspeakable existence hidden behind the Demon King who attacked the Knights of Avalon.

Despite her apparent composure over the years, the Queen has never given up investigating this incident.

Thinking this, White Yaksha continued speaking.

"So you also know that someone else was directing the Demon King's attack, is that right?"

"Nonsense! Everyone knows that!"

The Halloween Queen glared at her.

“Even during a period of historical transition, even in an unobservable realm, an ordinary demon lord could never escape Laplace’s eyes and my pursuit. Not to mention that the Knights’ whereabouts at the time were top secret. How could an ordinary demon lord have run into them by chance?”

The Halloween Queen knew she was caught in a conspiracy, but she had kept quiet about it.

"..."

White Yaksha was speechless for a moment.

If Su Mo hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have noticed that.

"Heh! You're right. Anyone as smart as me would have noticed the problem long ago. So, do you want to know who did it?"

"……you know?"

The Halloween Queen was startled and asked suspiciously.

She tried to track down the killer, but no matter what methods she used, she got nowhere.

She wouldn't be surprised if Shiroyasha could provide clues, but she was less inclined to believe that Shiroyasha had already uncovered the truth.

"Of course!"

White Yaksha held his head high, chest puffed out, with a smug expression.

"You're not going to say something as vague and meaningless as 'the killer is Shen Qun,' are you?"

Based on her knowledge of the White Demon, the Halloween Queen continued to ask questions.

Everyone knows this!

Aside from a few implementers, only the gods knew about their counter-enemy plan.

On the day the accident happened, she and Canary realized this at the same time, but they didn't have enough evidence, and the enemy's power was greater than they had imagined, so they kept it to themselves and didn't say anything.

For a wise person, it is not difficult to reach the same conclusion as Su Mo.

Only a fool would not have realized how delicious it is for so many years.

"Haha... H-How could that be... How could I possibly give such a meaningless answer? But it's already quite good that you thought of this!"

As expected, White Demon showed a guilty expression.

Although she knew that the mastermind was the God Group, Su Mo had not yet given an answer as to which member of the God Group was responsible for the actual execution, so naturally she did not know either.

I thought I would have the upper hand in front of the Halloween Queen, but I didn't expect to be outmaneuvered.

After pausing for a few seconds, she abruptly changed the subject.

"However, the truth is too terrible for us to tell you for the time being. Those who know, know; those who don't, we can't help you."

"Moreover, shouldn't Your Majesty have more tangible goals to achieve than this—such as the revival of the Celtic pantheon?"

At this point, White Demon paused, feeling that he had grasped the Halloween Queen's weakness.

So she cleared her throat and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, you don't want the Celtic pantheon to fail to be revived because of you, do you?"

He sounded like a Japanese person the moment he opened his mouth.

In White Yaksha's view, after he seized this weakness and relentlessly pursued it, even a strong queen could only listen to her threats with tears in her eyes, and had to compromise for the sake of the revival of the Celtic gods.

I don't mean I should let her bully me, but at least I should let her wear whatever clothes she wants.

To her surprise, the Halloween Queen responded with unusual calmness upon hearing this.

"You mean you have a way to help me revive the Celtic pantheon?"

"Of course!"

White Yaksha nodded confidently.

"Did you see the divine weapon we just showed off? If I told you that we just handcrafted it, do you know what that means?"

"You mean you can disregard the inheritance and invoke the power of the Celtic pantheon?"

The Halloween Queen astutely identified the crux of the problem.

Mass-producing divine weapons is not a particularly significant achievement in the Little Garden, as many communities that primarily focus on forging can accomplish this.

However, it is somewhat unusual to invoke the inherited power of a corresponding divine group without the consent of its leader.

Even if it's just simulating divinity, it means a lot.

"That's right!"

White Demon lightly covered her mouth with a folding fan, speaking in a seductive tone.

"With the power we possess, we can simulate not only the divine essence of weapons, but also the divine essence of gods. Although we cannot directly summon gods, it is not difficult to bestow their divine essence upon the ordinary knights under your command."

"In other words, if we want, we can let you raise an entire Avalon Knights, Red Branch Knights, or Fiona Knights at any time!"

White Yaksha spoke with great confidence.

If it were Su Mo, she could even summon gods and heroes themselves, but unfortunately, she didn't have enough points to buy advanced items related to the second type of stellar particles.

However, even so, it's enough.

Reviving the Celtic pantheon and making it great again—isn't this level of offer enough to entice the Queen?

Just as the White Demon was full of confidence, waiting for the Halloween Queen to bow down in worship.

"Rebuilding all the knightly orders, is that the condition?"

The Halloween Queen's tone, however, was calm and slightly thoughtful.

"What, you're still not satisfied?"

Noticing that the other party's attitude was different from what she had expected, Shiro Yaksha's eyes widened.

This woman is too greedy!

Just then, the Halloween Queen looked up, her calm blue eyes meeting those of the White Demon.

"If I'm not mistaken, that condition you just made wasn't the result of someone behind you directing you, but rather something you did on your own, right?"

A sudden remark caused White Yaksha to show a look of surprise. Based on her reaction, the Halloween Queen confirmed her guess and added to it.
