The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Diarmuid glanced warily at Orpheus, noticing her looking at Iskandar with interest, before firmly refusing.

“I have sworn to dedicate the Holy Grail to my sovereign, and that will never be you, Rider.”

"This is impossible."

Saber immediately responded.

"I am also the monarch of Great Britain, and I will never bow down to anyone."

Then his identity was easily revealed.

"Oh? I never expected the renowned Knight King to be such a young girl?"

"So, do you want to take a bite out of that little girl you're talking about, Conqueror King?"

Glancing at Lily, who seemed even sillier, Orpheus ignored the Conqueror King's other words and turned his gaze back to Diarmuid.

We've already wasted too much time, let's finish this quickly and get some rest.

Feeling the pressure from Orpheus, Diarmuid's body tensed up again.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in attacking me?"

Orpheus tilted his head in confusion.

Isn't the Holy Grail War supposed to be a fight to the death? Do we need a reason to fight?

Saber, standing to the side, frowned.

"Wait, Lancer is my opponent. Are you planning to interfere in our battle?"

Upon hearing Saber's words, Orpheus tilted his head once again.

"I just saved Lily, you know?"

Saber's pupils contracted when she heard Orpheus address her as such.

Lily... that's what people used to call me a long time ago.

That was the past she abandoned after pulling the sword out of the stone, so long ago that her own memory of it had become blurred.

"Knowing that title, are you perhaps someone I have a connection with?"

Seeing that Orpheus smiled but did not answer, Saber had no choice but to put aside her question for the time being and instead raised her sword.

"While I am grateful for your assistance, this is a battle between me and Knight Lancer, which I should resolve myself. Please do not interfere."

"Oh?"

Orpheus looked at Saber.

"What if I insist on fighting?"

"Then, please assess the power of Lancer's spear and my sword simultaneously."

With a determined expression, Saber said this.

The main reason she was willing to fight Lancer, who upheld the code of chivalry, was that he was also a noble knight, which made her willing to set aside her status as a king and the current state of war to fight him fairly.

But if facing other opponents, she wouldn't mind letting them experience her methods of warfare.

Two against one, there's absolutely no pressure.

Ignored and left out, Iskandar scratched his cheek in exasperation.

"Really, it seems my presence is less noticeable than that of a little girl."

"Very good……"

Weber, standing beside him, was extremely relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Weber Velvet."

But just then, an echoing sound with its own special effects rang out...

However, Orpheus paid no attention to the bickering between the teacher and the student, as well as the student's servants. Instead, he turned his gaze to Lancer and Saber, who were looking at him seriously.

"Yeah."

After thinking for a while, Orpheus maintained his smile and slowly opened the book in his hands, lines of runes emerging from the blank pages.

"Caster?"

Seeing this, both Saber and Lancer tensed up.

"I didn't expect them to actually want to fight both of us at once? And Caster at that, who's the least skilled in head-on combat? Is it just arrogance or do they really have the strength...?"

But in the next second, Orpheus closed the book.

"Ugh?"

Before the two could have a moment to wonder, a tremendous amount of magic erupted from Orpheus's body, and in the next instant, Orpheus vanished from the spot, leaving only a crater in his wake.

At that moment, Saber's alarm bells rang in her mind as she saw Orpheus rushing towards her, simultaneously drawing a golden longsword from a golden ripple that had appeared out of nowhere, and slashing it down heavily at her.

Saber instinctively tried to raise her sword to block, but her ahoge (cowlick) jolted, and she sensed something was wrong. She quickly jumped backward, risking losing her balance during the exchange.

Then, the invisible sword collided with the golden longsword.

Boom!!!

The golden longsword gleamed slightly, then exploded violently in Saber's direction, blasting her away.

Discarding the hilt from its blade, Orpheus opened the Book of Creation, which he had been holding in his other hand, and smiled slightly at Lancer, who had rushed to support Saber after her defeat. He then took out a strange weapon that was spinning at high speed from the book and aimed it at Lancer.

“Enuma Elish”.

Chapter 129 The Intruder

The sword Ea is not a true artifact for creating the world.

Regardless of whether this world was truly split in two, or even if it was, whether the reason behind it was Pangu's axe or God's divine word, in Babylonian mythology alone, heaven and earth were created by Marduk tearing Tiamat's body in two, and had absolutely nothing to do with the god Ea or the weapon.

Ea is the god of creation, who created not the world, but humanity and civilization.

Just as Orpheus had originally thought, the separation of heaven and earth, the creation of the star, separated the gods and humans, but opened up the future of mankind.

The claim that Gilgamesh was the oldest king is undoubtedly wrong. Not to mention other civilizations, there were several kings before him.

But it wouldn't be wrong to say that he was the oldest king of mankind.

Even if he had divine blood, he was the first king to separate humanity from the gods and rule humanity according to human laws.

The separation of heaven and earth, the creation of the stars, is nothing more than this.

Whether it opens up the world or civilization, Ea is a Noble Phantasm with the concept of 'divide and conquer'. Even without considering its power, it has an extremely high rank. Such a Noble Phantasm needs a short time to travel between two spaces, unlike Orpheus' other Noble Phantasms which can be fired at will.

Taking it out in front of an opponent would only give them a reason to be wary, so Orpheus simply used the power of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star to 'smuggle' it out, so that he could take it out and smear it in someone's face when necessary.

Just like now.

A crimson storm surged into the sky, as if it were tearing space itself apart.

That's right, it soared into the sky.

To Lancer's horrified and panicked gaze, Orpheus, at the last moment, reversed the position of Ea, pointing it towards the sky.

“Enuma Elish”.

The wind pressure exploded, tearing the ground apart within tens of meters, sending debris flying everywhere. Saber, who had just stood up, was blown away once again.

However, Saber had already been blasted quite a distance, so the impact she suffered was minimal.

Rider had already moved some distance away during the battle and suffered no damage.

But the other three were not so lucky.

Lancer was the first to be hit, blown away by the crimson storm, while two other dark figures that had jumped out from behind to launch a sneak attack were also bounced off and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, Lancer, I command you with a Command Spell to get back to my side!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lancer's Master could no longer continue arguing with his student. He used a Command Spell to recall Lancer, who was barely alive because he had not been directly hit, and quickly withdrew from the area.

At this moment, the storm of Ea slowly dissipated, and Orpheus lowered his right hand, which was holding the sword of Ea, and turned to look at the two that were attacking him.

One of them was an armored man whose entire body was covered in black mist and whose body was also entirely black.

The other was Hercules, a great hero whom Orpheus had also met.

Both were Servants with skin as tough as tortoise shells, and the aftershocks of the mere Ea did not injure them to the point that they could not continue fighting.

Orpheus frowned upon seeing Hercules.

She didn't care about having two Berserkers, but Hercules was another friend who had helped her.

However, looking at Hercules's blood-red eyes fixed on him, and at Lily who had just raised her sword against him, Orpheus sighed inwardly.

Everyone was wielding their weapons with a clear understanding of the situation. To talk about past ties in such a war seems somewhat disrespectful.

Since that's the case...

Berserkers are ultimately tragic beings; their reason is devoured by madness, and their heroic pride vanishes. So, let's first help the big guy in front of us break free from his berserk state.

Orpheus was enveloped in spiritual light, and the sword Ea began to spin again.

"Arrrrrrrrr!!!"

At this moment, the man in black armor had just gotten up. As if he had completely ignored the lesson he had just learned, he grabbed an innocent street lamp from the roadside, broke off a piece, and slammed it down heavily on Orpheus.

Orpheus didn't even glance at the black armor. With a casual wave of his hand, a wisp of crimson wind blew the black armor away once again.

Then, Orpheus stomped on the ground, unleashing his strength and agility, which he had already enhanced to A-level, and sped off towards Hercules.

"Roar!!!"

Hercules, of course, was not going to back down. He swung his great axe and smashed it down, causing the ground to buckle and scatter rocks everywhere.

Strangely, neither the raised ground, the giant axe, nor even Hercules himself had any effect or hindrance on Orpheus. She simply swept past Hercules' body to his back, then stopped with a stomp on the ground, turned around, and thrust the sword Ea at Hercules.

"Enuma Elish!"

The storm that tore everything apart swept out once more, instantly engulfing the defenseless Hercules and pulverizing him completely.

Twelve lives, vanished in an instant.
