"Hey, three-headed dragon! Got the guts to bully those weaklings, but not the guts to fight me one-on-one, huh!"
The white-haired girl's arrogant tone left everyone slightly stunned.
To think that the Divine Army would one day be called "weaklings"—and the worst part was, they had no right to refute it. The surviving members of the Divine Army felt a complex mix of emotions.
"Hmph!" Azi Dahaka, however, wasted few words. His ruby eyes, symbolizing calamity, merely glanced at Shiroyasha before completely ignoring her, continuing to hunt the gods at his leisure.
"Are you scared?" Shiroyasha provoked, activating her two Sun Authorities and summoning two Star Beasts of the sun to attack the three-headed dragon.
Faced with the power of the Star Beasts, Azi Dahaka still didn't dodge or evade.
A solar flare erupted, and solar flames reaching tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of degrees, completely enveloped Azi Dahaka's body. Yet, there were still no burn marks on the three-headed dragon.
"A useless probe. Even the laws of celestial bodies and Star Spirits are just another form of cosmology; they cannot breach Avesta's defense."
After completing another hunt, the white three-headed dragon paused silently in the air, locking onto the white-haired girl who appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Unless you unleash your Geocentric Theory and return to your status as one of our kind, nothing you do is meaningful."
The ruby eyes flickered with an inexplicable light as the evil god of Zoroastrianism offered his temptation.
Whether it was the laws of celestial bodies or the laws of gods, they were all within the defensive scope of Avesta.
Therefore, neither Celestial Star Spirits, pure-blooded dragons, nor gods could inflict any real harm on Azi Dahaka—even the Primordial Star that Shiroyasha possessed was no exception.
Of course, due to the powerful immortality of Celestial Star Spirits and the personal strength of the White Night King, Azi Dahaka also couldn't truly harm the white-haired girl before him.
So, instead of attempting a futile attack, he tried to persuade Shiroyasha to use her true power.
Canary had placed her hopes in Shiroyasha for two reasons.
First, only a Celestial Star Spirit like Shiroyasha could avoid being instantly killed even if her cosmology was copied. Second was because of the other Divinity Shiroyasha possessed: Geocentric Theory.
This cosmology, based on the human perspective, not only had the potential to bypass Avesta's judgment but could also be used to eternally seal anyone in a critical moment.
Although this mutual destruction method was not recommended, it could clearly be used to buy time when it mattered.
However...
"Shut up! Who's one of your kind? I graduated from being a Demon Lord (Last Embryo) a long time ago!"
Naturally, Shiroyasha could not accept such a request. It wasn't just that she didn't want to perish along with him; it was also because she didn't want to expose her current strength.
After her previous deal with the Twin Goddesses through Su Mo had set her free, it was likely that not even the Twin Goddesses knew that she could actually return to her peak Full-Authority Domain state at any time—and unlike what others thought, it wasn't for a limited time.
"How boring!" Hearing her answer, the three-headed dragon closed his six ruby eyes. If she lacked that resolve, then she was nothing but a waste of his time. "It seems you are not the hero I have been waiting for... In that case, I will have to ask you to make a temporary exit."
"Heh! As if you could!" the White Night King sneered, her attitude supremely arrogant. "Who do you think you are, Su Mo?"
In all of Little Garden, besides losing to the Twin Goddesses, being helpless against Su Mo, giving face to the Buddha, and being in a constant rivalry with the Queen of Halloween, who had Shiroyasha ever feared?
"Su Mo? Which hero is that?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Azi Dahaka opened his eyes, a flicker of interest showing.
"Someone you can never defeat!" the white-haired girl said with a proud look on her face.
"Interesting. I will pay special attention to this hero later..." Azi Dahaka nodded, committing the name to memory.
Then, he raised his claws, and the light of stars gathered in his hand, his target completely locked onto the White Night King before him. "As for now, make a temporary exit, my kin who has forsaken her mission... While I cannot kill you, if it is merely a temporary seal!"
A dangerous aura instantly bloomed, its focused power startling even Shiroyasha for a moment.
There were few ways to kill a Celestial Star Spirit, but there were many ways to seal one. Although Azi Dahaka himself had not mastered such a profound sealing art, if he were to use it with the help of his Another Cosmology...
"I was careless!" Shiroyasha hastily tried to evade, but it was already too late.
"Negate it in turn! Avesta!"
The starlight shone, and the unique cosmology of Zoroastrianism expanded.
A pillar of black light shot straight towards the White Night King. Along its path, all light was devoured, creating a pure black void.
This contained the authority of a total solar eclipse, a legacy powerful enough to block out the sunlight during a celestial conjunction, seemingly copied from the sun and moon gods among the million-strong Divine Army that Azi Dahaka had previously fought.
This was the very reason Indra dared not let Su Mo join the battle.
The participation of gods not only failed to increase their advantage but would instead grant Azi Dahaka more flexibility and mobility.
He could even borrow the power of his enemies to use legacies he couldn't use before, allowing him to seal opponents he would have otherwise found difficult to seal.
"Waaah~ Su Mo, save me!" Realizing she couldn't dodge in time, the last thought in Shiroyasha's mind burst forth naturally, though no one paid it any mind at that moment.
Whether in the eyes of the Divine Army or Azi Dahaka himself, such an attack was unavoidable.
However, in the next instant...
"Be more careful next time!"
An unfamiliar male voice sounded. A jet-black Boundary Gate opened, instantly swallowing Shiroyasha's figure.
The pillar of black light released by Avesta lost its target and could only slam into the ground, leaving a massive abyss on the planet's surface.
Sensing a familiar presence, the white-haired girl showed a surprised and delighted expression.
She offered no resistance, allowing herself to be teleported by the Boundary Gate to the ground, to the center of the City of the Moon Shadow, right beside Su Mo.
Upon arriving, the white-haired girl immediately threw herself into his arms. "Ehehe, I knew you'd come save me!"
Unlike her loli-state, the White Night King form looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. She had an incredibly lithe and slender body, but her chest was surprisingly full.
While not quite on the level of a loli-face with a bombshell figure like Vella, she was far superior to the likes of the Queen of Halloween or Leticia, perhaps comparable to an adult Black Rabbit.
"...This is the first time I've seen Lady Shiroyasha in this form!" Even Canary was surprised by Shiroyasha's current appearance, looking her up and down several times.
"Actually, I have an even more mature form. I can change between all three sizes!" Shiroyasha said, puffing out her chest proudly.
"n-not the time to be talking about this!"
Seeing the girls about to start chatting, Indra, who was standing to the side, interrupted them. He looked nervously at the three-headed dragon in the sky above. "This is bad, Shiroyasha. The enemy's attention is completely on us now!"
Hearing Indra's cowardly tone, Shiroyasha was a bit surprised. "Seriously, Indra, no matter how much of a scoundrel you are, you're still a war god. How can you say something so pathetic?"
"Wasn't Azi Dahaka your comrade-in-arms before? Even if he's a Last Embryo now, you don't need to be scared just because he glanced at you, do you?" She really couldn't believe Indra would be so timid. Afraid of the enemy, and you call yourself a war god? You should be ashamed!
As if guessing what Shiroyasha was thinking, Indra explained again with a pained expression. "The problem isn't us, it's Lord Su Mo! We can't let Lord Su Mo face that guy, or it's all over..."
"Huh? Oh!" Even Shiroyasha, after a beat, immediately understood what Indra meant.
Right! Azi Dahaka only had to fight a mere million-strong god-group to derive the power to seal me. If he were to face Su Mo and copy his Divinity and Gifts, wouldn't he become invincible?
However, there was still one question that wasn't clear. It was the same question Canary had, but not entirely identical.
Does the copying ability of the Another Cosmology, Avesta, really have no upper limit?
For the gods of Little Garden, being able to surpass the Almighty Domain (3-Digit) and reach the Full-Authority Domain (2-Digit) was already considered having no upper limit. But for Su Mo, that wasn't the case.
After all, as a member of the chat group, she knew Su Mo's true strength.
"Can Avesta copy a 1-Digit's authority?"
Subconsciously, Shiroyasha asked such a thing.
"Wha—?"
Everyone present was stunned.
