"If that's the case, why not have the person behind you come and talk to us in person, or you could just tell me your thoughts directly. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for us to reach an agreement, won't it?"

219 I, White Demon, never cheat anyone!

"W-What person behind this? Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!"

Completely unprepared for the Halloween Queen's reaction, White Yaksha was momentarily flustered.

"Oh? You mean I guessed wrong?"

The Halloween Queen narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with a half-smile.

"Are you trying to say that the gift of accessing the Celtic pantheon that you just demonstrated was something you comprehended yourself, rather than something you received from someone else?"

"Ah this!"

White Yaksha's mouth was slightly open, clearly unaware that she had revealed this flaw.

Fortunately, she was stubborn enough to keep her mouth shut.

"What, what does this have to do with you! Who said we got our power from someone else, and who said we have someone else behind us? Don't accuse me without any evidence!"

"Ha! Without any evidence?"

Faced with this guy's stubbornness, the Halloween Queen chuckled and said casually.

"With your intelligence, if someone hadn't pointed this out, how could you have realized the problem of releasing the Knights of Avalon and causing their demise, and how could you have taken the initiative to come and negotiate with me?"

She wasn't underestimating Shiroyasha's intelligence, it's just... well, she did underestimate Shiroyasha's intelligence.

For hundreds of years, she hadn't noticed the problem, but suddenly, overnight, she realized that the gods were behind it all. It would be strange if someone had told the White Yaksha.

"You! You! You underestimate us! Don't you think we're without Su—"

Sensing the Halloween Queen's underestimation, White Night Demon almost blurted out Su Mo's name.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and changed her tune in time.

"Hey! I mean, isn't it possible that we could suddenly have an epiphany and realize this?"

Faced with this stubborn refusal, the Halloween Queen calmly shook her head.

"For an uninformed outsider to deduce that the mastermind is connected to the gods, they not only need keen judgment, but also bold ideas and a deep understanding of the current situation. Anyone who can do this must be very intelligent and can easily guess my thoughts or my allegiance."

Upon hearing this, White Yaksha blinked and patted his chest.

"Extremely intelligent? That perfectly describes me!"

However, before she could continue to boast, the Halloween Queen added.

“Anyone who can guess the truth would never try to lure me into negotiations with the legacy of the Celtic gods. That tactic is too clumsy and almost impossible to succeed.”

As she spoke, she looked at White Demon with a slightly pressured gaze.

“A wise person with such judgment would not do something as foolish as you just did.”

“Your judgment is very wise, but your attempt to lure me in is incredibly foolish. I can’t think of any other possibility than that the two decisions were not made by the same person.”

"Given your consistent behavior, the only wise person you could be is the one behind you."

The only fool could be you—the Halloween Queen thought for a moment, but decided to save face for the White Demon and didn't say it aloud.

"..."

Upon hearing the Halloween Queen's reasoning, White Yaksha was dumbfounded and speechless.

Although I know I'm being looked down upon, what's with this atmosphere that I can't argue with at all?

After a few seconds of hesitation, she raised her hand, giving up on making up a story.

"Alright, alright! I knew you guys couldn't hide anything from me. I'll admit it. I do have someone behind me. He's the one who told me about the God Group."

Not known for her intelligence, she decided to get straight to the point.

"However, you're wrong about one thing. It was his idea to have me come to you to form an alliance in order to deal with the possible actions of the gods. Whether it's wise or foolish, those opinions have nothing to do with us, right?"

Finally, she tried to struggle one last time, but—

"Your words further confirm my suspicions. The decision to form an alliance is not the problem; the problem lies in the way you formed the alliance."

The Halloween Queen glanced sideways at this idiot.

"You actually dare to tempt me with the legacy of the Celtic gods? Who do you think I am?"

Her tone was arrogant, but White Yaksha was somewhat confused.

"what?"

Seeing her like this, Scáthach offered an explanation.

"With Her Majesty's extraordinary [summoning] ability, if she really needed the power of the Celtic gods, she could summon them on her own without anyone's help. The reason Her Majesty didn't do so is simply because it wasn't necessary."

The two-digit level of [Realm] authority brings the highest level of [Summoning] permission in the Little Garden world.

If necessary, the Halloween Queen could even summon the Celtic gods who perished during the dawn of the Little Garden, though it would come at a considerable cost.

Compared to the authentic divine legacies she can summon at will, the White Yaksha's pirated legacies are utterly unappealing.

"If you can't find the enemy lurking in the shadows, what's the point of summoning them a hundred times? They'll just become nourishment for the enemy."

The Halloween Queen explained, half-helplessly.

“If the person behind you is also targeting the gods who are secretly causing trouble, then there is indeed a basis for cooperation between us.”

Having said all that, White Demon finally understood what the other person meant.

"So, you've finally agreed to the alliance?"

She asked with a hint of surprise.

If we add the Halloween Queen, who is a three-digit exception, their chances of winning will be much greater.

"Do not."

The Halloween Queen shook her head decisively, her gaze towards the White Yaksha slightly scrutinizing.

"Before discussing an alliance, I should at least know who is behind you and whether they are trustworthy."

When it comes to plots against the gods, no amount of caution is excessive.

"No problem, don't worry! Su Mo is trustworthy when it comes to dealing with the gods!"

Upon hearing the Queen's words, White Yaksha didn't think twice and immediately replied happily.

"..."

Looking at the White Demon's carefree manner, the Halloween Queen sighed slightly and said speechlessly.

"Although I don't know who Su Mo is, sometimes you shouldn't blurt things out, especially about the God Group... It's fine if you get tricked, but don't spill blood on me!"

This is also a subtle way of reminding you.

If she hadn't known that White Yaksha had someone backing her, and hadn't been able to get any clues, just looking at White Yaksha's impatient demeanor, the Halloween Queen would never have allied with her.

It looks like it could easily let your teammates down.

However, White Yaksha clearly did not have this concern.

Hearing the Halloween Queen's words, she patted her chest.

"Don't worry! With us overseeing things, how could he possibly get scammed! Besides, Su Mo isn't from the Little Garden and has no connection to the God Group, so there won't be any problems!"

"¨々Not from Hakoba?"

Hearing this, the Queen breathed a slight sigh of relief, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity.

How could someone outside the miniature garden have such a thorough understanding of the situation?

Who exactly is this person named Su Mo? She doesn't seem to have heard of any lineage associated with this name!

Could it be an alias?

"Yes, he comes from outside the Little Garden, and we just bumped into each other."

White Yaksha knows everything.

"You should have brought him with you earlier if you had insisted on seeing him. But it hasn't been that long, so he shouldn't have gone far... Wait, let me call him!"

With that, White Demon closed her eyes and entered the chat group.

Seeing her like this, the Queen became even more curious. Did the White Demon and that Su Mo actually have a special gift for communication?

These two seem to have a special relationship!

Before she could think any further, a fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly appeared beside White Yaksha.

"They actually mastered a realm-type blessing?"

The queen was somewhat surprised to sense Su Mo's presence.

In the Little Garden, all realm authority comes from the Halloween Queen, without exception.

In her view, the spatial teleportation that Su Mo used was just one of the techniques used by the Realm Gate.

"But why does this aura feel so strange?"

If the Blessing of Realms only brought Halloween Queen (Qian Lihao) a sense of familiarity, then the radiance of gold and the sun brought her more than just familiarity.

The next instant, Su Mo appeared in the main hall.

At the same time, the expressions of White Yaksha and Halloween Queen changed drastically, as they both felt their spiritual energy fluctuating violently as if it were going berserk.

"What's going on?!" X2.

The two Sun Star Spirits widened their eyes, and the radiance of the sun involuntarily appeared on their bodies.

At the same time, the fourteen and six solar sovereigns they each possessed involuntarily emerged from their bodies.

The twenty star beasts of the sun materialized, and in the first instant, they respectfully bowed their heads to the black-haired, black-eyed figure before them.
