If Shiroyasha, by virtue of her Celestial Star Spirit's exceptional immortality, was qualified to fight Azi Dahaka even when her Divinity and Gifts were copied, then Indra believed that Su Mo, with his strength, could do the same, even without any specific reason.
Having witnessed the incredible power that erupted from Su Mo during battle, he believed that Su Mo would not be easily defeated by Azi Dahaka, even without any concrete evidence.
And precisely because of this, he could not let Su Mo face the other. Azi Dahaka's strength was already heaven-defying. If Su Mo's strength were added to it, who in the world could stop him?
In Indra's view, his thinking was not flawed. Unfortunately, Su Mo would not be so easily swayed.
"It's simple. We just need to defeat him before Little Garden is destroyed, right?" Su Mo said lightly, clearly not intending to compromise.
"This..." Can that really be done?
Indra pondered for a moment and realized that he was powerless to stop Su Mo. Recalling Su Mo's past achievements, an idea suddenly resurfaced in his mind.
What if? What if Su Mo really does it, just like how he defeated the Son of God, he defeats Azi Dahaka?
With this thought, Indra subconsciously took a step back. Su Mo took a step forward, meeting Azi Dahaka's somewhat expectant gaze head-on.
However, just as the fighting spirit of the two was rising, the voice of a god suddenly resounded through the sky. "W-wait! Lord Su Mo, don't be rash!"
A god with a feathered cap descended from the sky like a messenger, blocking Su Mo's path. It was a 3-Digit god, his eyes shimmering with wisdom and awe, his expression also carrying a trace of reverence and trepidation. "If you act rashly, the entire Little Garden might be destroyed in a short time... that would be too late!"
The god made such a sorrowful plea, trying to persuade Su Mo, and then glared at Indra. "Indra, why didn't you stop him more!"
"Hermes?" Su Mo recognized the other's Divinity. As the messenger in Greek mythology, he was the son of Zeus and the messenger of the king of the gods.
The important point was that he was not a member of the Divine Army and had no obligation to stand out at this time. Considering his divine office, that is to say... "Preventing me from fighting Azi Dahaka... is this the will of the Greek pantheon?"
Hearing Su Mo's targeted question, Hermes hurriedly shook his head. "No, no, this is not the will of the Greek pantheon... but the will of almost all god-groups!" As he spoke, he pointed to the sky above.
"The will of all god-groups?" Shiroyasha was slightly taken aback, then looked up at the sky.
A vast light and shadow pressed down from the Celestial Realm above Trāyastriṃśa. Within it, one could see the phantoms of the 3-Digit and even 2-Digit Outer Gate regions.
A formation that far surpassed the Divine Army and the million god-groups appeared before everyone's eyes. The aura released by hundreds of millions of god-groups surpassed the entire universe.
The World-Honored One of Buddhism, the Eight Legions of Devas and Nāgas, the Twelve Devas, the Greek pantheon, the Roman pantheon, the Egyptian pantheon, the Eight Million Gods of Shinto... Even the unaffiliated Twin Goddesses appeared at the center of the phantom.
Multiple 2-Digit beings, a massive number of 3-Digits, plus trillions of 4-Digit congenital gods and buddhas. Hermes was not lying. The lineup on display was truly a coalition of almost all god-groups.
Except for the Celtic pantheon led by the Queen of Halloween and the Christian god-group under Su Mo, representatives of all other god-groups had gathered in the sky.
"Although, Father Zeus didn't quite agree with this proposal," Hermes muttered under his breath, seeing everyone's shock at the scene.
"All the gods actually came?" Shiroyasha didn't pay attention to the messenger's words. Looking at the scene above, she was a little surprised, and her opinion of the god-groups had changed a lot.
Is this the same god-group I used to know?
"Not bad! I thought they would be like turtles in their shells, just like when they faced the Dystopian Demon Lord. I didn't expect them to finally be willing to stand up?"
"Even if it's a little late, even if it's the courage to fight a winning battle because this is the last Last Embryo, it's still a bit more decent than before!" Shiroyasha's tone was very gratified.
With Su Mo here, she was not worried about the outcome of the battle, so she had the luxury of commenting. In her previous view, the god-groups of Little Garden were weak and increasingly corrupt, and not a single one of them was useful.
That's why after learning the truth from Su Mo, she had resolutely chosen to join the anti-god-group alliance.
Now it seemed that her judgment had been made too early. Although there were still many things that were not done well overall, to be able to stand up after Azi Dahaka revealed his true strength was still much better than she had expected.
Such a god-group seemed not so hopeless after all. It seemed that Su Mo's strategy back then was correct. After killing the Son of God, that black sheep, the god-groups had indeed become much cleaner.
"Uh..." Hearing Shiroyasha's undisguised praise, Hermes opened his mouth, his expression very awkward, not knowing what to say.
At this time, seeing the support of hundreds of millions of god-groups, Indra's spirits also immediately lifted. "Haha! I was wondering why there was no reaction after I reported to the god-groups, and not even much support. So the World-Honored One and the others had already made a decision and wanted to go for something big!"
Compared to Shiroyasha, Indra's trust in the god-groups, especially the World-Honored One of Buddhism, was obviously on a higher level.
Seeing all the gods arrive and the World-Honored One of Buddhism personally manifest, he felt that victory was assured. So, after his excitement, he looked at Hermes with great eagerness. "Hermes, how is it? Has the top brass discussed a way to eliminate Azi Dahaka and overcome this Last Embryo?"
"..." Hermes opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
"Hmm? Have you not reached a conclusion yet?" Indra was slightly taken aback, then quickly persuaded himself. "That's right. To overcome a Last Embryo, you must pass both in wisdom and in martial prowess. Even with all the gods gathered now, at most you can only find a way to defeat the other party in martial prowess. The exploration of the Divinity's puzzle still requires further investigation." As he spoke, he continued to ask expectantly, "So, the strategy from above is to seal Azi Dahaka first, right?"
"..." Hermes shook his head silently.
"Hmm?" Indra finally realized that something was wrong. "What do you mean? The World-Honored One has personally descended, and even the Twin Goddesses have been mobilized. With three Full-Authority Domain beings leading hundreds of millions of god-groups here, don't tell me there's still no way to defeat Azi Dahaka?"
Three Full-Authority Domain beings fighting one Almighty Domain, and they still can't win?
Faced with Indra's questioning, Hermes shook his head with difficulty. "Unfortunately, Avesta's power is effective against both the Twin Goddesses and the World-Honored One. If the three of them were to act, it would only cause Azi Dahaka to inflate into an even more unbeatable monster."
"Huh?" Not only Indra, but even Shiroyasha couldn't listen anymore. She blinked, thought for a few seconds, and then asked with great confusion, "You can't solve the Divinity's puzzle, and you're worried that fighting will only strengthen the opponent. If you're helpless against Azi Dahaka, then what are you god-groups doing here?"
If you can't help either way, then what are these god-groups doing, striking cool poses in the sky? She had thought the hundreds of millions of god-groups were here to suppress the troublemaker, but she didn't expect them to be here for sightseeing?
Hearing Shiroyasha ask this, even with Hermes's thick skin, he couldn't help but feel very embarrassed. "I came to convey the will of the gods, to stop... I mean, to persuade Lord Su Mo not to have a direct confrontation with Azi Dahaka, so as not to aid the enemy... at least not now. It will affect the gods' strategy."
"The gods' strategy?" Although it was clear that the other party didn't want to talk about this, it couldn't be easily ignored. Shiroyasha's eyes widened as she asked, "If you can't solve the puzzle in wits, and you can't defeat the strong enemy in might, what strategy could the gods possibly have?"
Hearing this, Hermes mustered his courage and looked at the white-haired girl before him. "Speaking of which, this strategy is related to you, and we need to confirm your opinion."
"My opinion?" Shiroyasha was slightly taken aback, a little curious. "Let's hear it?"
Under the gaze of Shiroyasha, Indra, Garuda... and even Azi Dahaka, Hermes hesitated for a moment, swallowed, and then stated the other important task of the god-groups' arrangement this time.
"...May I ask, would you be willing to contribute the Sun Authorities you hold and build a new Little Garden with the gods?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.
