White Yaksha was stunned on the spot, and only denied it after a few seconds.

"If not, Lord White Demon shouldn't mind us interfering in this Demon King incident, right?"

The canary pressed closer and closer.

"Oh no, as the rulers of the hierarchy, we in Arcadia have an obligation to investigate, and it seems we don't need Lord White Demon's permission!"

"This, this—"

White Yaksha was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Canary is right. As the ruler of the hierarchy, she has an obligation to defeat the Demon King, and no one else has the right to stop her.

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure out a way to stop the canary, a thunderous, majestic, and gruff voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"If you're discussing the Demon King incident, then let's not argue about it for now."

A middle-aged man who looked extremely down on his luck walked in. There was no trace of prestige on his face, but the staff of [Thousand Eyes] followed him respectfully. Even Lucius, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but stand up and bow respectfully in a trembling voice.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Heavenly Realm!"

Indeed, the unassuming man before us is none other than Indra, one of the Twelve Guardian Deities, the head of the benevolent gods among the celestial beings, and a three-digit deity considered the leader of the martial arts faction.

"Ah, no need for formalities. You must be from the community that was just attacked by the Demon King. I know about you from previous records!"

Indra nodded, and without waiting for White Yaksha to greet him, he sat down next to Lucius on his own, displaying extreme casualness.

"That's right, it's me!"

Lucius nodded, flattered.

Compared to the powerless canary and the White Yaksha whose spirit was sealed, the identity represented by Indra is clearly more worthy of currying favor.

In the world of miniature gardens, the two groups of deities at the apex are Buddhism and Christianity.

Of course, there may be many people who need to please him, but White Demon and Canary are definitely not among them.

"Indra, what brings you here?"

·· ···Requesting flowers····· ······

Canary looked at Indra with a puzzled expression, and having a deep understanding of the nature of this war god, she asked him a question.

"Shouldn't a useless god like you be out partying or lusting after other people's wives? Why did you suddenly descend to the mortal realm?"

Hearing such biting sarcasm, Di Shitian showed no anger, but simply sighed and smiled helplessly.

"Do you think I wanted to come here? We clearly agreed that we would leave the Demon King to you to deal with, and we could just lie back and share the credit. Who knew that orders would suddenly come from above?"

"Have orders been issued from above?"

White Yaksha was slightly taken aback, and exchanged a glance with Canary, both of them somewhat puzzled.

"That's right!"

Indra nodded decisively.

"Isn't this what you were just discussing? According to the orders from above, the Heavenly Army will take over directly after this Demon King incident. You don't need to argue with each other."

..... ..... ...

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

In the organizational structure of the sandbox, the Heavenly Army is the ultimate armed force guaranteeing the order of the sandbox and the highest collection of armed forces.

It's just that the Heavenly Army has always been too unrestrained in its actions, somewhat like a hunting star god, slaughtering the Demon King and the area where the Demon King is located without leaving a single blade of grass.

That's why the hierarchy of rulers was created to counter ordinary demon kings and prevent the heavenly army from causing excessive destruction.

If things were done according to the usual procedure, the demon king in front of us should indeed be defeated by Canary or White Yaksha.

But now that Indra has spoken, the Heavenly Army's authority is higher than that of the hierarchy rulers. This time, the Demon King can only be dealt with by the Heavenly Army, and even the Canary has no room for objection.

"If the Heavenly Army has already made a decision, then there is nothing we can do to interfere."

As Canary spoke, she looked at White Demon.

"But before that, there's an important question I'm curious about."

"Lapzi sent me the information about the Demon King immediately, but I haven't had a chance to report it to the Heavenly Army yet... So, how did your divine group find out about this?"

Hearing this, White Yaksha understood what Canary meant, and she shook her head.

"We haven't had time to report it to the Heavenly Army yet."

Lucius, who was in the corner, also scratched his head.

"I also reported it to Lady Canary and Lady White Yaksha immediately, without going through the proper channels."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

If neither of the two ruling class leaders in charge had reported this Demon King attack.

Where did the gods get their information that the Demon King was attacking?

Moreover, and more importantly, what qualifications does a mere four-digit demon king have to attract the attention of the heavenly army, or even force Indra, the capital of benevolent gods, to mobilize?

227 The order of absolute authority, the canary sees through everything.

After they finished speaking, even Lucius noticed something was amiss.

The three of them looked at Indra simultaneously, but none of them spoke.

"...Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

Unable to bear the strange silence, Di Shitian raised his arm and sniffed it, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"I wasn't living a life of debauchery before I came here!"

"Who's looking at you!"

The canary rolled its eyes, speechless.

To Lucius and all beings in the hundreds, Indra was an incomparably majestic thunder god, the leader of the heavenly army, equivalent to the head of the law enforcement system, and was deeply revered.

But to her, this useless god was hardly worthy of respect; he was nothing more than unrecyclable trash, just like the freakish Death God Kroa.

Furthermore, since Indra had an excellent relationship with the people of Arcadia, she treated Indra rather casually.

"Didn't you notice something was wrong?"

She offered her explanation.

"He's just a mere four-digit demon king. Is it really necessary to mobilize the Heavenly Army to deal with him? And you even had to do it yourself... Although you're a terrible person, you're still one of the Twelve Guardians. What kind of trouble requires the Heavenly Emperor to intervene?"

"Hey! Get to the point, don't resort to swearing!" (853)

Faced with the canary's disdain, Indra scratched his head and retorted.

Then he nodded in agreement.

"Even if you didn't say it, I knew something was strange about this. However, defeating the Demon King is the duty of the Heavenly Army. As members of the Martial God Clan, we don't need to get to the bottom of this!"

"It's always the case that the higher-ups just give orders and the lower-ups run themselves ragged. Whether the mission is reasonable or not is not something we thugs need to consider."

With that, Indra shrugged and said.

"As an unknown person with full authority over the cross once said, our Heavenly Army only needs to follow orders and split up to fight the Demon King. The higher-ups of the divine order have many other things to consider!"

Clearly, Indra noticed the problem, but didn't care.

For the Heavenly Army, carrying out unreasonable tasks issued by the upper echelons of the Divine Group is probably the norm, so this mission is nothing special.

"Tsk, I never thought that the high and mighty Heavenly Emperor would be such a lazy bum. The Heavenly Army, an organization meant to maintain the safety of the Garden of Gods, has actually become the private army of the gods... Is there really nothing wrong with the way the gods manage themselves?"

The canary couldn't help but complain.

"You should say this to the big shots."

Indra shrugged helplessly.

"I am just a mere guardian deity, or as modern people would say, a security guard at the gate. You can't expect me, a security guard, to take charge of the entire celestial horde, can you?"

"If your followers heard you say that, they would definitely lose their faith!"

The canary was dumbfounded and complained.

A security guard with unparalleled expertise in three-digit special codes!

As the two were exchanging their complaints, White Yaksha suddenly spoke up.

"Indra, may I ask who the important figure is who issued this order to you?"

"..."

"..."

For a moment, the room was silent.

"Why do you ask?"

Indra scratched his head and asked, puzzled.

"Don't worry about that for now."

White Yaksha shook his head, naturally not intending to say anything.

She knew that Su Mo had sent Black Saber to test something, but she didn't expect the gods to react so quickly and efficiently.

It's clear that the Heavenly Army hasn't received the news, but the upper echelons of the gods have already obtained the intelligence. It seems they've already confirmed Artoria's spirit status, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry to have Indra take action.

Originally, she was somewhat skeptical that the mastermind behind it all was the God Group.

But now, the arrival of Emperor Shitian completely shattered her doubts and verified Su Mo's words two hundred percent.

Based on the level of tension the gods felt about Artoria's existence, we can already confirm a few basic points.

First, the destruction of the former Knights of Avalon was related to the gods, and the mastermind behind it all was hidden within the gods.

Secondly, the mastermind behind the scenes must hold an extremely high position among the gods; not just anyone can command Indra.

Although Indra himself jokingly calls himself a security guard, it would be naive to take his words seriously, as an ancient god-king who almost gave back to the entire Hindu pantheon by sacrificing his own prestige.

Even the Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, would never be disrespectful to Indra.

Therefore, the group of gods that the mastermind is from must be one of the most powerful.
