Sno: These Cannon Fodder Are Brainless (I'm Mentally Done Today...)

His face was hidden behind a skull mask, and his entire body was shrouded in a black cloak.

Surrounded by Taotie beasts, Sno casually waved a hand.

"We'll resume searching for Crocodile God Soton as soon as possible and do our best to capture him again soon. Please..."

The Taotie were brimming with confidence as they spoke to Sno, their fighting spirit soaring. But Sno raised a hand.

He gestured for them to be quiet.

"There's no need. My God Karl already knows where Crocodile God Soton is."

"Oh? Where? Please, enlighten us, my god! We will surely..."

"Let me finish." Sno cut off the beasts' overlapping voices.

He continued, "Crocodile God Soton has been rescued by my God Karl's close friend, Morgana."

"Crocodile God Soton has now submitted to Morgana. So you don't need to keep searching for him."

"Ah? This..." The Taotie exchanged glances. They seemed reluctant, but since this was Carl's order, they could only accept it in silence.

Sno took in their reactions. He naturally knew what the Taotie were thinking.

But they'd been given their chance, and they'd failed to make use of it! Who could they blame?

They were nothing more than a bunch of low-level cannon fodder. Sno decided he might as well offer them some reassurance.

"Still, don't worry. Although Morgana has subdued Crocodile God Soton, this wasn't a deal made for nothing. Morgana also made a promise to my God."

"When you encounter resistance while invading Earth, the demons will help you deal with one problem. They'll step in when the time comes." M.

"Ah, this..." Sno's reassurance didn't make the Taotie feel any better. Instead, they felt a faint sense of shame. When had they ever needed the demons' help?

Those stray dogs who needed my God Karl's charity—why would we, the Taotie, need their help?

"Hmph!"

Seeing the discontent on some of the Taotie's faces, Sno snorted and warned them, "Don't underestimate Morgana. She's my God Karl's close friend, an old god from the same era."

"She's not someone you can look down on. It's fine to be warlike, and it's fine to fear nothing, but don't charge in mindlessly."

"Understand?"

"Yes, yes!" Sno looked at the Taotie before him and could tell at a glance that they hadn't taken his words to heart.

"Tell your Taotie King to show the gods proper reverence, and to cherish this chance to have the demons step in and help you."

"When it matters, they could save your lives!"

That was all he had to say. Whether the Taotie would listen or not, he didn't care. He finished speaking and left.

A wormhole opened in midair. Without even looking at the Taotie, Sno stepped inside.

The Taotie were left behind, exchanging glances and falling silent.

But judging by their proud expressions, it was obvious they hadn't taken his words to heart.

Meanwhile, at Super Seminary.

Ashe and Rose had just finished discussing what to do next.

"So, you understand now, right?"

"This time, Ge Xiaolun is the key! Get on his good side, explain the pros and cons, and help him understand who's really behind his hatred!"

"Mm-hmm, got it."

"But..." Rose trailed off. She really wanted Ashe to experience Ge Xiaolun's lecherous little stare for herself.

That sleazy feeling that made you want to punch him, even though he hadn't actually done anything wrong.

"Fine, fine!"

In the end, Rose decided to bear it all herself. She answered as if resigned to her fate.

"Good timing. Ajie just messaged me."

"He said he's coming with our instructor, so I don't need to go for an examination."

"Get ready. I'll run to the entrance first! We need to get there at a different time!"

"Go on, go on!"

Rose waved Ashe on, then sat down in a nearby chair and took out a book to read for a while.

But for some reason, Rose couldn't focus on the book.

Meanwhile, Ashe hurried toward the entrance.

She checked her phone and figured Ajie still had a while before he arrived.

She went over to a nearby patch of grass and decided to meditate before then.

After all, even a sparrow was still meat.

She'd been a little restless lately, and meditation could help her reflect on some of the things she'd been doing.

With that in mind, Ashe sat cross-legged on the grass and slowly closed her eyes.

But Ashe didn't get to finish meditating this time. When she saw the bashful face looming in front of her, she really wanted to kick him.

"Um, h-hello. I'm your next-door roommate. My name is Ge Xiaolun!"
