The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and a little girl with black hair in pigtails and beautiful blue eyes was running towards Orpheus from the other side of the street.

It was this little girl who caught Orpheus's attention.

"...Possession body?"

The little girl looked to be only six or seven years old, but she looked remarkably similar to Ishtar after she was possessed and summoned.

In other words, if this little girl doesn't have twins or anything like that, then she should be the possessed entity of Ishtar... or at least a parallel individual of the possessed entity.

At this moment, the little girl seemed somewhat panicked.

"Run!"

Upon seeing Orpheus, the little girl became even more panicked. She grabbed Orpheus's wrist and continued running at top speed, quickly leaving the street.

"Hey~ Don't run away~"

A moment later, a young man in orange ran over from the same direction, looked around, seemed not to have found his target, touched his hair, and then left.

Above the small house, Orpheus, holding the little girl, watched him leave until the young man's figure completely disappeared. Only then did Orpheus sigh softly, jump back to the ground, and put the little girl down.

"Ishtar, what are you trying to do?"

"Ugh?!"

The little girl was taken aback, then pouted.

"What? You think it's that easy to tell?"

"..."

Although Orpheus lacked common sense, she knew very well that it was impossible for an ordinary little girl to run hundreds of meters without even breaking a sweat without using any enhancement magic.

"You still look completely unsurprised. Do you really not have any feelings like that? How boring, so incredibly boring that it's unbelievable, to the point that even a goddess would cry!"

"Why won't you let me kill that person?"

Ignoring Ishtar's seemingly more childish remarks due to her host body, Orpheus asked.

That guy had a Master-Servant connection, so by process of elimination, he should be Caster's Master. If we just take him down, Caster will be eliminated.

He was just an ordinary person with weak magic. Although he was too lazy to look for him himself, it was the best course of action for Orpheus to deal with him since they had encountered him.

But since Ishtar wanted to pull herself away, she probably wanted to stop Orpheus from doing such a thing.

"It's nothing, I just think it's more fun this way."

With her eyes tinged with crimson, Ishtar gave a devilish smile.

"Don't forget, while I am the goddess of love and beauty, I am also the goddess of war and strife. To me, conflict between humans is the best sacrifice."

After glancing at Ishtar, Orpheus roughly understood her situation.

Ishtar is a contradictory god.

The succession of deities is quite complex, and Ishtar, as one of the earliest, possessed a considerable number of duties and powers, which contributed to this complexity.

They love humanity and human civilization, but they also deeply love the struggles between humans, regarding them as their own aesthetic.

Therefore, when humanity is in crisis, she can help save humanity as long as she has enough reason, but in normal peaceful circumstances... this goddess is of no use other than causing trouble.

And now, this goddess is back to her old ways—stirring up trouble.

"Hoo hoo hoo, games are only fun when they're lively, and the grander the stage, the better. Although that disgusting Caster is weak, I see the potential to dominate the stage in him. Today, those Chaldea guys actually tried to nip this potential in the bud, which is unforgivable. I have no choice but to personally stop them."

After hearing the goddess's words, Orpheus sighed softly.

It seems that his idea of ​​eliminating the others as soon as possible has become impossible the moment this goddess intervened.

However… Orpheus had some doubts about the extent to which Ishtar would go.

The goddess threw the Heavenly Bull directly into Uruk. Although it was just an incarnation with little power, if Orpheus and Enkidu weren't strong enough to give the incarnation time to absorb power, Uruk would have been destroyed or at least partially collapsed.

It can be said that as long as humanity survives, this goddess can play to her death without any pressure.

"Well, the people of this city should be grateful, though."

At this moment, Ishtar smiled gently.

"After all, it wasn't Ishtar who took over the girl's body, but rather the girl who suddenly became Ishtar one day. Aside from her divine nature, this girl's humanity can be described as extremely kind."

At this point, Ishtar pursed her lips.

She just went out of her way to rescue her classmate... This is something she would never have done during her goddess days.

"I won't let the humans in this city suffer too many casualties. For me, battles between Servants are enough."

"is it?"

Orpheus made no comment.

In fact, even she herself didn't know whether she would intervene if Ishtar really wanted to destroy the city.

Orpheus liked humans, not just because of his promise to Enkidu, but also because he had witnessed the beauty and strength of humans during the Age of Gods.

However, Orpheus is not human, and humans do not need gods.

To humans, Orpheus's existence is no different from that of a god.

Having personally ended the Age of Gods in Uruk, Orpheus could no longer interfere with humanity from a divine perspective.

"Compared to this..."

Before Ishtar could finish thinking, she suddenly leaned closer.

"What you're doing now seems much more interesting, tell me about it?"

With her eyes sparkling with excitement, the goddess, who loved to stir things up, asked this question.

Chapter 138 The Conqueror's Invitation

Orpheus didn't have a chance to explain his grand, wicked plan to the goddess, because at that moment, an uninvited guest interrupted.

"You bastard, let Rin go!"

Without giving Orpheus a chance to explain that he had no opportunity to have any physical contact with the goddess, a black-armored figure shrouded in black aura descended from the sky, wielding a black knight's two-handed sword, and slashed heavily down at Orpheus.

Orpheus looked up, frowned slightly, and two longswords shot out from the treasury, directly attacking the black-armored figure who was unable to move in mid-air (this seems to be inconsistent with the animation).

But as a berserker, the black-armored warrior, who shouldn't have been able to maintain any rationality, nimbly grabbed one of the swords and used the black knight's sword in his other hand to knock down the other one, which continued to fall with undiminished momentum.

But the next second, the black armor was blasted dozens of meters away by the barrage of fire from countless magical artifacts.

After easily blowing away the black armor, Orpheus slowly turned her gaze forward, and as her gaze shifted, the magical costumes behind her also changed direction.

As his target, Matou Kariya, wearing a gray jacket, contorted his already distorted face even more, but even so, he did not retreat an inch.

Orpheus could still sense the hatred in him that was almost solidified into a tangible form.

"Release Rin immediately..."

Matou Kariya's current state was less one of courage and more one of near-madness, bordering on insanity.

"Ishtar, do you know her?"

Seeing the man tilt his head, Orpheus asked the goddess beside him.

At this moment, Ishtar looked at Matou Kariya with a complicated expression.

"They're acquaintances, but they can't even figure out their own true goals. It's both ugly and ridiculous."

At this point, Ishtar sighed.

"However, this guy's intentions weren't bad, so let's spare his life for now. Everything he should be clinging to will end tonight."

"Yeah."

Orpheus nodded and was about to leave with Ishtar, but at that moment, Kariya Matou, who had somehow misinterpreted their conversation, suddenly stepped forward.

"Stop! What did you do to Rin? Where are you taking her?"

Kariya Matou roared at Orpheus.

"Did you brainwash Rin? Damn it, Berserker, get him!"

"Arrrrrrrrrr!!!"

The black armor, still bearing scorch marks, leaped into the air once more and slashed down at Orpheus.

Orpheus frowned again.

This Master is even more like a mad dog than his Berserker.

"Let's kill that dark creature. Maybe he'll understand things better after he loses his power."

At this moment, Ishtar suddenly sighed slightly and spoke to Orpheus from the side.

...Can't you do it yourself?

Even so, Orpheus nodded in response, a silver light flashing in his eyes, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.

Because the next moment────

"Ah la la la la la la la la la!!!"

With a thunderous roar, the black-armored figure was instantly crushed by a powerful war chariot, falling to the ground unable to move.

"Hahaha, although I don't know what happened, this is not a suitable place for fighting. Moreover, I have some business with this little girl. There's no other way but to let those who can't be communicated with leave the scene for now."

"...This is...Damn it! Berserker, retreat!"

At this moment, Matou Kariya seemed to have finally calmed down a bit. He realized that things were hopeless and that Tohsaka Tokiomi's servants would not lay a hand on his Master's daughter. He gritted his teeth and limped away.

Judging from the power we've witnessed before, Berserker alone cannot defeat this Servant. In that case, we must rely on their power and make Tokiomi Tohsaka pay the price!

After Matou Kariya left, Orpheus looked at the Conqueror King who had just stormed into the battlefield.

"So what are you doing now! Why don't you just let them settle their score and then reap the benefits?!"

The Master named Waver was angrily patting the Conqueror King, but the latter simply ignored him.

"Hahaha, we meet again, little girl."

Looking back at Orpheus, Iskandar grinned.

"It's perfect to meet you here. I just met Saber, and we arranged to have a banquet at her house. You seem to be a king too, huh? How about coming to join us?"
