Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 234 Mission: 01-2 Dusk Dragon
After a series of reasoning, Lin came to a conclusion. The most suitable route for Nero to choose and reach the first point is:

Replacing the tenth Sephiroth, materialism, with gluttony leads to the seventh Sephiroth, lust. Following this are the fourth Sephiroth, insensitivity, and the second Sephiroth, stupidity, which are filled with rage and laziness, respectively.

In this way, we can reach the first point "atheism" by the most cost-effective path, and exert its partial power as a simulation of the star creation map.

The fourth Sephira can be replaced with the sixth Sephira, "Ugliness." This path requires Nero to obtain the Sin Stone of "Envy." The advantage of this option is that you can try to illuminate the third Sephira, "Rejection," giving you more flexibility. However, generally speaking, it's best to illuminate as many Sephira as possible on the same side as possible to connect more paths and unleash greater power.

No matter which way he goes, Nero will still need at least two Sin Magic Stones.

"Honestly, because little Pest was so ambitious, we didn't have much hope."

After completing the plan, Lin half-seriously complained, "But if you can really temporarily activate the Star Creation Map, the chances will suddenly become very great. So, Your Highness and I are doing our best to help you find a solution."

"With two Sin Stones, it's probably too late no matter what." Nero frowned slightly. "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Of course there is a way."

His Highness claimed that he could prepare a substitute for Nero that would last for about an hour before the festival began to fill the gap in "materialism". Nero only needed to find a way to obtain either "wrath" or "jealousy" during this period.

But even so, time is still tight.

At this time, Lin came up with a brilliant idea.

Time is very tight in the sandbox, so why not go outside and prepare?
The problem was that you couldn't just leave the little garden whenever you wanted. Being expelled from the little garden wasn't difficult, but Nero not only had to leave, he had to return, and even had to return by a specific date. This made it even more difficult.

However, this still doesn't pose a problem for Lin.

"The Little Garden has a common enemy. That enemy is called the 'Final Trial of Humanity'."

From Lin's explanation, Nero learned something. Within the small garden, there existed a "Heavenly Army," a cleansing force composed of deities from several of the most powerful pantheons. To deal with enemies the gods couldn't kill, they were sometimes joined by reincarnated avatars of the main deities. If they identified a threat to humanity's final trial, they could be summoned from above.

The downside of this mechanism is that most of the Heavenly Army will not care how much damage has been done to the lower levels, and will destroy humanity's final trial along with a large area of ​​land.

Such a group of people naturally couldn't be released into the outside world. However, sometimes, a human who had clearly been defeated would suddenly resurface in a corner of the world. In such cases, the lower-level communities in the small garden would have to spontaneously intervene to stop them.

If Nero were allowed to travel to the outside world in this way, he would be able to return before the specified time limit.

"So, you want me to fight the final trial of humanity?"

"You don't necessarily have to defeat them yourself. You can choose to help the heroes of humanity, or nip the resurrection trial in the bud... After all, there are always more solutions than problems."

Lin replied nonchalantly, "And in fact, as long as you achieve 'phased success' and extend the duration of the Trial, you can choose to return on your own. You can keep this in mind while you're out there." This didn't sound that difficult. However, Lin told Nero that the strength of different humans in the Final Trial varied greatly, with single-digit [Decadence], double-digit [Heavenly Movement], triple-digit [Dystopia]... The scale of the spirits ranged from cosmic to planetary. Four-digit strength humans did exist in the Final Trial, but they were often defeated first.

In other words, Nero will next travel to a world where there is a strong aura of original sin and is threatened by the final trial of mankind.

Lin was very fast, as if she turned around at the speed of light, and helped Nero choose the target in just a few seconds.

“This world is pretty good.”

Just like adventurers accepting quests in a tavern, these actions were issued in the form of a gift game, with content similar to a bounty. The goal of this trip Lin had chosen for Nero was to "assist in stopping or destroying [Nidhoggr, the Dusk Dragon]."

no? !
After all, this wasn't a group of enemies with a number less than three digits. Nero couldn't help but suspect that Lin wanted to kill him.

However, Lin and His Highness both said to Nero with great confidence that you can do it, which made her doubt her own judgment - no way.

But the truth was, Lin and His Highness had no reason to trick her in such a place. Lin had her own reasons for choosing this world.

"Nero, your guess is correct. As one of the strongest races, pure-blooded dragons generally possess triple-digit spiritual power upon reaching maturity, and the strongest among them can even reach double digits."

Lin uttered something that made Nero even more worried. "However, pure-blooded dragons, as beings outside the 'evolutionary tree,' spontaneously appearing mythical beasts, have only two ways of reproducing—either by hybridizing with creatures within the evolutionary tree to create hybrids, or by self-fragmentation and splitting their spirits."

"what do you mean?"

Hearing Nero's question, Lin was a little surprised. "Don't you know? The outside world isn't that resistant to change. The mere presence of a triple-digit being on the surface could cause civilization to become extinct. So, since this pure-blooded dragon was able to 'resurrect' in the outside world, it must have long ago divided its spiritual nature by giving birth to offspring, dormant, awaiting the day when it could regain its power and destroy the world."

"So now this dragon can only have four digits at most?"

"exactly."

Suddenly, it seemed that he was not invincible anymore.

Lin thought about it again and decided to continue helping Nero make some preparations.

The fact that the Little Garden is so well-informed about the outside world is naturally due to the presence of some external organizations, most of which are companies run by large corporations. Those corporations whose flags and icons bear a striking resemblance to those of external organizations are generally the former's behind-the-scenes operators. Nero's journey to the outside world, his identity for integration into society, and his means of travel within the Little Garden, all depended on their assistance.

Among the many emblems that influence the outside world, the "World Tree" pattern inherited from Northern Europe is one of them.
