After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye summoned the Sun God Chariot, got in, and flicked the reins, driving directly in that direction.
After being strengthened several times, the power of "Eternal Sun God" is no longer what it was taken from Helios. Instead, it seems to have become a power that Helios himself possesses. It is believed that even if Helios himself appeared here, he would not think that there was anything wrong with Bai Ye. At most, he would just sigh and wonder when such a powerful sun god had appeared again.
This is also why Byakuya dared to openly summon the Sun Chariot in the miniature garden.
With the divine chariot as a backdrop and the divine radiance emanating from him after his authority was activated, he now truly resembles the lofty sun god from mythology.
Watching the Sun Chariot disappear from her sight in just a few breaths, in a corner of the town, the gothic girl who had just been startled by Bai Ye's act of taking out coins quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to leave, a strange voice suddenly came from the alley that should have been empty.
"Indeed, he is an extraordinary expert, wouldn't you say, young lady?"
"!!!"
“Don’t be nervous. I just heard that something interesting happened here, and since I had nothing else to do, I came to check it out. I didn’t expect to find you besides a formidable competitor…” The blonde woman who suddenly appeared behind her raised an eyebrow, holding the bullet aimed at her between two fingers, and her eyes revealed a hint of surprise: “As expected, I wasn’t wrong. Your ability… is it time?”
"..."
……
As the vehicle driven by the sun god to travel around the world, even when Bai Ye first gained power from Helios, the speed of the sun god's chariot was already considerable, not to mention that it has been strengthened several times since then.
When Byakuya arrived at the location where Byakuya's aura was emanating, he saw Byakuya emerging from a barrier carrying large bags and bundles. The two exchanged a knowing glance and parted ways without saying a word...
To be precise, it should be that White Yaksha left 137, while White Night remained on the Sun God Chariot, just like the other beings who sensed White Yaksha's aura and rushed over, but ultimately none of them made a move, or even revealed their forms.
Only after confirming that White Yaksha would not suddenly launch a counterattack like he did at Paradise Mountain did a series of cryptic figures appear around White Night.
After a brief investigation, Bai Ye found that most of them were people whose auras were similar to his or only slightly different, which shows that the waters of the Little Garden are truly deep.
Incidentally, with so many powerful figures gathered together, they only dared to watch as the White Demon did as she pleased. Just how terrifying is this woman's reputation in the Little Garden?
"Friend, since we all sensed the presence of the White Night King and came here, why don't we go down together and take a look?"
After sizing up the person who spoke, Bai Ye nodded slightly...
Is it just my imagination? Why does this guy look so familiar?
Chapter 266 Reunion with Helios
The group of gods visited by the White Demon is from Norse mythology... yes, the one that the White Demon once targeted because of the Gungnir that the White Demon displayed.
It is estimated that the gods, including Odin, thought that after the last defeat, the White Yaksha would behave herself for a few days. However, they did not expect that she would take advantage of this blind spot in their thinking.
Emerging from the territory of the Norse gods, the group felt a mix of sympathy and lingering fear – thankfully, they weren't the ones targeted by the White Yaksha this time.
"It's really unexpected. Although White Night King was always quite troublesome, back then her targets were mostly things that could pique her interest. How come she suddenly changed her style of doing things a few months ago..." Looking at the two rows of Asgardian warriors standing ramrod straight in their underwear on the roadside, the man who had invited White Night to go down and take a look sighed: "It must have been really tough on them."
"Who would have thought that he would still be thinking about robbery at this time?" Bai Ye shrugged.
He truly hadn't expected that White Yaksha wouldn't have forgotten about this matter at this critical juncture. He had originally thought that White Yaksha had only returned to fight for the sovereignty of the sun.
"Haha, whether she's forgotten or not, once this gets out, all the communities that might be on that list will probably take notice. What's more, most of the powerful people, including her, will be preparing for that... I bet you are too, right?"
“Yes, after all, it’s solar sovereignty. The improvements it can bring to us are no joke.” Bai Ye nodded.
Although he still didn't know the other person's name, his surging solar power was no joke. After just one glance, Bai Ye was certain that this person was also a god related to the sun.
"Speaking of which, it seems I still don't know your name? I am Helios of Olympus, the sun god. And you?"
"Gensokyo, White Night, Sun God."
"Although I haven't heard of it, a god with your strength must belong to a very powerful pantheon." Helios was visibly taken aback when he heard the name Bai Ye, then smiled sheepishly at Bai Ye: "Speaking of which, your name is quite similar to that one. What are your plans next, Brother Bai Ye?"
"Waiting for that thing... What, is there something else?"
"No, that's not it. I just thought if you don't have any plans, why don't you come with me to Olympus for a couple of days? We can also exchange our thoughts on this war. Although the old man had to recall us all because the White Night King went to Olympus as a guest last time, I don't really have many friends there."
Thinking of the "Thunder" and "Tripoteus" that he had sold and turned into nourishment, a strange look appeared on Bai Ye's face.
"Then I would be disrespectful."
"Haha, what's so special about that? You might not believe it, Brother Baiye, but I also have a Sun Chariot, and it's drawn by four fire horses. And for some reason, when I see you, I always feel a sense of closeness, like seeing a friend."
"What a coincidence!" Bai Ye smiled awkwardly but politely.
You probably won't believe it, but I stole my car from you. As for friends... are you sure you don't have the urge to chop me up the moment you see me?
……
In theory, the three-digit numbers of the outer gates of the miniature garden range from 100 to 999. There should be a lot of behemoth communities like the Greek and Norse pantheons. However, in reality, a large portion of them are empty, or are just communities that don't live up to their names and are occupying the spots. Just like the total number of digits in the omnipotent realm from 10 to 99 is only seventeen.
Therefore, sun gods of Helios's caliber are actually quite rare. The result of him and Bai Ye traveling side by side was that when they arrived at Olympus, Bai Ye could clearly feel several powerful auras locking onto him.
"Helios, who is this?" A handsome man with features as if sculpted from marble flew in front of the two, frowning as he looked at Bai Ye and asked.
"White Night~" Upon seeing the person who arrived, Helios's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"!!!"
Bai Ye, who was right across from him, could clearly see that the person's figure swayed, seemingly about to fall.
"Alright, enough of this. Don't you realize that if it were really the White Night King, would he still be so calm as to watch you come before him? This is a friend I met on this trip. He only appeared because of that, and it just so happens that he shares the same name as that person." Facing the man's angry glare, Helios smiled indifferently and flew away with White Night like a temple, leaving the man with an uncertain expression.
"Who is this? It seems like you two don't get along very well?" After landing at the palace, Bai Ye looked back and asked curiously.
"Apollo, who else could it be? Right now, he's the only one on Olympus who doesn't like me... Of course, I don't like him either. He's only in charge of light, yet he actually managed to snag a spot. Although I think with his limited abilities, he'd just be cannon fodder."
"Forehead……"
Recalling the powerful figures who appeared to be related to the sun after the Norse gods were robbed by the White Yaksha, Bai Ye found that he couldn't refute Helios's remarks.
Unless Apollo has a hidden ultimate move like a Saiyan that allows him to transform in several stages, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him cannon fodder when it comes to the struggle for the sovereignty of the sun... At least Bai Ye is confident that killing Apollo wouldn't be a problem if he went all out.
"Let's not talk about that guy anymore. Come and see my temple. That old fellow really went all out to keep us here obediently. The scale is almost the same as his own palace. Looking at it this way, I suddenly think that White Night King's robbery was pretty good. At least since I was summoned back that time, I haven't had to suffer like before in Olympus. Haha..."
"I remember reminding you more than once that these kinds of things are best left unsaid in private. Otherwise, if they get back to that guy, he'll definitely cause you trouble again once this difficult period is over." Upon entering the temple, Bai Ye discovered that there was already someone there... Surely that person on Olympus is a god?
Chapter 267 Your wife is amazing.jpg
“So you should call him Father God or God-King, not that guy.” Helios wasn’t angry at the question from the figure in the shop; instead, he retorted sarcastically.
Then the two of them burst into laughter under Bai Ye's speechless gaze.
After laughing for a while, Helios seemed to finally remember the existence of the White Night King, and pulled him aside to introduce him to the man: "This is a sun god I met outside, who happens to share the same name as the White Night King who has been making waves recently. This is Hephaestus, one of the twelve Olympian gods..."
“Yes, I’ve heard of him.” Bai Ye nodded.
He is the god of fire and blacksmithing. Many of the divine artifacts in Greek mythology were made by him. Bai Ye's impression of him, apart from that he was a wholesaler of divine artifacts, was that his wife was amazing... cough.
Although it's a bit apologetic to say this in front of Hephaestus, even disregarding all that nonsense, Aphrodite is indeed the ultimate symbol of female physical beauty, and it's said that she is top-notch in both figure and appearance.
If Hephaestus knew what Bai Ye was thinking right now, he might just swing his hammer and give Bai Ye a good whack. Right now, he's just staring at Bai Ye with some concern.
"Even if we can confirm that his name and the White Night King's name are just a coincidence, are you sure bringing him back won't cause any trouble?"
"What trouble could possibly happen?" Helios retorted.
"Don't try any tricks in front of me. Don't tell me you don't know what time it is. After what happened last time, that guy wanted nothing more than to throw all the non-gods off Mount Olympus. He hasn't done so because he's probably still worried..." Hephaestus pointed upwards and continued, "Now you're bringing in a god from another realm. Who knows if he'll use this as an excuse to cause trouble?"
"That's alright. Like you said, don't forget what time this is. Apollo's skills are nothing to him. At least until the ownership of all the sun's sovereignty is clear, he won't do anything to me. If he didn't even have that much brains, he wouldn't have been able to hold the position of God-King for so many years... It's just a pity that he can't control that thing down there."
“If I could control him, I wouldn’t be Zeus,” Hephaestus rolled his eyes.
Helios: "..."
What's with this subtle illusion that you don't know where to begin refuting it?
During their rants about Zeus, Bai Ye remained silent, simply listening to their complaints.
From their conversation, it's clear that this Zeus in the Little Garden is at least competent in managing the affairs of Olympus. However, his lack of restraint in matters of love and sex has caused dissatisfaction among many gods. And most importantly, if one wants to conquer the Olympus realm, it seems there is an even more dangerous being above Zeus...
It's unlikely to be Cronus, since Zeus got his throne from him, so it can't be Uranus, right?
Silently keeping this matter to himself, Bai Ye came to his senses only to find Helios and Hephaestus staring intently at him...
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm waiting for your answer, but I reckon you probably didn't hear it." Helios rolled his eyes. "The order from above regarding the game of vying for the sovereignty of the sun has been issued. War could break out at any moment. My suggestion is to have someone build a temporary palace for you nearby. What do you think?"
"You're the landlord, so it's your decision." Bai Ye nodded indifferently.
Judging from the current layout of Helios's Palace of the Sun, it's unlikely that he relies on love for warmth at night like some kidney warriors. Besides, if all else fails, he can go back to the Dimensional Shop to stay, as long as he comes back during the day.
And so the matter was settled.
……
Although it was called a temporary palace, it was actually comparable to the residences of some emperors in the mortal world. After inspecting it, Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction.
"This is the best we can do in half a day. If we had a little more time, we could have built it even better." Helios waved the craftsmen away, seemingly not quite satisfied with the result.
"That's good enough. Anyway, you and I both know we can't stay here for long. Maybe a solar sovereignty issue will be implemented right now..."
hum~~~
An invisible wave spread throughout the entire garden, and Byakuya, who was speaking halfway through his sentence, was stunned.
Helios, standing to the side, numbly pinched his arm. After confirming he wasn't dreaming, he looked at Bai Ye with the same gaze that Ultraman Tiga had when he saw Godzilla: "Brother Bai Ye, no, elder brother Bai Ye, try saying another word?"
"...It's just a coincidence. If it were true, I wouldn't be wasting my breath talking to you. I would have already seized all the sovereignty over the sun." Recovering from the shock of the first manifestation of the sun's sovereignty, Bai Ye rolled his eyes as he overheard Helios's dreamlike words.
"Well, I guess I was overthinking it." Helios chuckled awkwardly. "So what do we do now? Should we go check it out?"
"Nonsense, if we can snatch it, then we can just watch the show. Who knows what kind of monsters might appear if we drag this out any longer?"
Everyone knows the importance of solar sovereignty, so most of the sun gods and their respective pantheons who participated this time, although they all said they wouldn't let a single one go, were actually thinking that getting one would break even, and getting two would be a huge profit. So Bai Ye's words were not surprising.
As for actually coveting sovereignty over more than two suns... just look at who the last person Bai Ye knew dared to think that way to understand how risky it would be—the last person to think that way was Bai Yecha.
While Bai Ye and Helios were still chatting idly, a halo of light rose from Olympus and flew straight toward the direction where the sovereign sun appeared.
"Let's go. Apollo has already set off. Going too early will make us easy targets for other competitors. But if we fall too far behind him, I reckon one of the gods who's watching over there will accuse me of slacking off..." He summoned the chariot of the sun god, gave the middle finger in a certain direction, laughed loudly, flicked the reins, and chased after Apollo.
Chapter 268 Apollo's Little Notebook
There are a total of twenty-four portions of solar sovereignty divided by the upper layer of the miniature garden. Twelve of these portions are divided according to the twelve zodiacal signs, and the other twelve are divided according to the twelve equatorial signs. This is no secret to those within the miniature garden who are truly interested in vying for solar sovereignty. What has appeared now is only the first portion...
Therefore, the best course of action this time is to wait and see. After all, the purpose of the upper echelons of the Little Garden in dividing it up was precisely to prevent all sovereignty over the Sun from being concentrated in the hands of a few individuals. (This is not specifically referring to any newly emerged number one robber in the Little Garden.)
After exchanging a knowing glance, Bai Ye and Helios simultaneously pulled on the reins, slowing their approach to the sovereign sun. Helios even had the leisure to chat with a fellow sun god for a while. Then, the three of them arrived at the location at a snail's pace compared to the gods...
"Holy crap?!" Helios rubbed his eyes, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Calm down. At least Olympus has such an energetic newcomer. You should be happy." The sun god, who had been chatting with him all the way, looked at Apollo, who had already grasped the sovereignty of the sun, patted Helios on the shoulder, and then decisively distanced himself from him.
"..."
After thinking it over, Bai Ye also moved a little further away. Since he already knew that Apollo's behavior was tantamount to betraying his teammates, he couldn't let himself be betrayed as well. Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people present, it was the most important thing to distance himself from the situation.
As Bai Ye and the sun god had predicted, after seeing that Apollo was actually going to merge with the sun's sovereignty, a blazing sun descended from the sky and crushed him under its feet. Meanwhile, several menacing figures appeared around Helios.
If he were to make a move at this point, he would have to be prepared to face attacks from several of his "colleagues."
Moreover, the division of tasks among these people is very clear. The one in the middle is obviously the strongest, while those responsible for restraining Helios are individually weaker than Helios, but together they are definitely worth Helios's attention.
"Are you really... not planning to seize the sovereignty of the sun even when it's right in front of you?" Helios asked with a bit of annoyance, looking around at the gods who also possessed the characteristics of the sun.
“That’s obvious. Who doesn’t want solar sovereignty? But just like Apollo, whether we can get it or not is another matter. Once we get it, we have to be able to hold onto it. Otherwise, it’s all just empty talk.” One of them glared resentfully in the direction of solar sovereignty, then forced himself to look away.
“Exactly, rather than being cannon fodder, we might as well use this opportunity to gain some real benefits for ourselves,” another chimed in.
Helios: "..."
What a shameless bastard! (｀_′)
A few minutes later, Apollo, who had been beaten up, was thrown out by the sun god who had already bribed his teammates. Since the direction was right in his direction, Bai Ye reached out and caught him.
"Thank you..."
After using his divine power to remove the scars on his face, Apollo glanced in Helios's direction but didn't say anything.
Although he was blinded by the wonderful future he imagined the moment he saw the sovereignty of the sun, and even tried to merge with it before most of the other gods who had also discovered the sovereignty of the sun had entered the arena, he still had basic rationality. No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, the main force chosen by the Greek gods to compete for the sovereignty of the sun was Helios, not him, the god of light who also possessed the spiritual status of a sun god and was sung in epics.
Moreover, Helios, who was already stronger than him, was still trapped by his peers even after receiving strong support from the Greek gods. This shows how unwise his previous actions were. So he didn't dare to say anything about Helios watching him get beaten up.
After all, he was one of the twelve Olympian gods, not some rabid dog that bites anyone it sees, but...
On [Date], Utu beat me in front of many people and threw me a long way. I will remember this grudge and take revenge later!
Curious about what Apollo was doing with gritted teeth, Bai Ye peeked over and caught a glimpse of the words on the notebook just before Apollo closed it, almost bursting into laughter.
