Erica couldn't find any way to deal with such a being.

The omniscient and omnipotent ancestor of serpents... Even if legends and myths may not be true, the content of spiritual vision will not be wrong, and the prediction of the other party's abilities will not be too far off.

Erica simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if that thing bared its fangs at humans.

Erica, who was originally full of enthusiasm and ready to personally lead the expedition, was reminded once again of the fear she felt when facing the endless rain of divine artifacts.

"that……"

At this moment, a girl next to them hesitated before speaking up.

"what?"

“I saw the Atlas Mountains.”

The girl who was called upon spoke timidly.

Erica rubbed her temples helplessly and sighed heavily.

Chapter 220 Demon King and King

"After the numerous witches roughly pinpointed the location, people from the magic associations in Europe, except for those in Britain, began searching the vicinity."

Kneeling before Orpheus, the high priest respectfully reported, a hint of a sigh flashing across his face.

Among the priestesses who caused the current trouble, the ones who contributed the most were the survivors of the flood that she protected on that day.

Although Siduri did not regret it, he felt a little sentimental.

She was kind, but her kindness was only directed at the king's subjects. Those who were still the king's subjects at that time naturally deserved to be saved, but now that they have caused trouble for the king, they should also be punished.

Anyone who dares to turn their sword against the king is a traitor and deserves to die.

Orpheus was unaware of Siduri's childish thoughts. He simply sat on the high platform with his usual smile, swinging his legs, seemingly unconcerned about the impending 'crisis'.

"king."

Hiduri hesitated for a moment before speaking again as if he had made up his mind.

“A highly capable priestess also successfully determined the king’s identity.”

To be honest, the priestess's abilities far exceeded Hiduri's expectations. She only had a vague understanding of the king's identity by glancing at it because she dared not overstep her bounds. For a priestess from a non-divine era to achieve this level of understanding, her talent was already extremely terrifying.

That's the level at which one could be chosen by Siduri as his successor if they were in Uruk.

"It's alright."

Orpheus nodded casually.

The phenomenon of spiritual vision is even more obvious than clairvoyance. While clairvoyance has a wide range, it cannot penetrate too deeply. However, spiritual vision is so focused and seems to want to uncover every experience a person has had from birth to death that it is impossible not to notice it.

No, that direct connection even allowed Orpheus to drag the user of the Spirit Vision into a mental battle simply by following his gaze... Well, with that difference in strength, there's not much of a battle to speak of; it's more like directly causing the opponent's mental collapse.

However, this unexpected surprise was quite interesting to Orpheus, as it was enough to relieve his boredom, so Orpheus did not retaliate in any way.

The result did not disappoint her.

To be honest, although Yuri Mariya saw a lot, it was all completely irrelevant.

The clairvoyant sees the entangled fate, analyzing everything about the other person directly from the perspective of destiny.

Fate, especially the fate that has been experienced or has been obtained, cannot simply disappear after changing worlds. It is indeed possible to see a part of Orpheus in this way.

However, whether it's the King of Heroes or the Progenitor of the Serpent, these are all destinies arranged for Orpheus by Prayer, things that were forcibly entangled with him... Even though he is currently merging with Orpheus, the process is incredibly slow.

As for the Infinity at its core, it was completely unnoticed, and the essence of the omniscient and omnipotent star attached to it was also completely unseen.

In other words, what we're really looking at is just the outermost coat.

Even so, there are still factors that could interest Orpheus.

The so-called primordial serpent, even if it is only its outer garment, is not something that ordinary people can see at will.

It would be more accurate to say that even a priest like Siduri, who possessed top-tier abilities even in the Age of Gods, would have had to expend a considerable amount of energy the moment he saw the phantom of the ouroboros.

Orpheus's lips curled up slightly.

It seems that the previous actions were a bit too drastic.

Is it a test? No, based on the previous analysis, it could also be a case of using someone else to do the dirty work?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

"Demon King..."

Orpheus murmured to himself.

The existence that is given this name.

Meaningless.

Orpheus couldn't see any purpose in their visit.

Why fight against yourself?

To gain greater power? Not at all, just to fight.

Such thinking is understandable, and many pure martial artists think the same way. However, it is very problematic when the opponent's power is enough to endanger the planet beneath their feet and they still do not do anything to restrain them.

"Athena, is it over?"

"It's almost finished, and it should be completed within a day at most."

"Yeah……"

Orpheus nodded calmly at the goddess of wisdom's answer.

"It would take those people at most half a day to find the location of the Atlas Institute."

"Then Sidduri should hold them off."

They held off three aggressive god-slayers who showed no intention of negotiating.

If the leader of another magic society had assigned this task to his adjutant, the latter would probably have immediately refused to do it.

However, the high priest's expression did not change at all.

"Yes!"

The reply was concise: "I accept the order, and I shall leave."

"...Is she alright?"

Athena gazed strangely in the direction Siduri had gone.

"Hidari is very strong."

"...Whatever makes you happy."

Athena twitched her lips and continued to focus on adjusting the three-pointed Hermes.

"There's only one right now."

After Hiduri left, Athena threw herself into her work, leaving only Orpheus's muttered, monotone voice echoing in the room.

The silver eyes reflected the figure of a robust old man.

"You didn't pass."

It possesses the potential to harm the world and the planet.

Although they had other plans, since the other side kept insisting on attacking...

"Hmm, what's that saying about humans?"

Tilting her head slightly, the dragon goddess girl's originally serious face turned adorable.

"It seems to be... a warning to others...?"

Nodding to himself, Orpheus seemed quite satisfied with the answer he had finally arrived at, revealing a somewhat smug smile.

"Yes, it's called 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey'."

What the smile foreshadowed was the end of a demon king.

────────────────────────────────

"What can you see?"

Erica asked Liliana and Yuri Mariya, who were standing beside her.

"It should be around here..."

Liliana shook her head at this, while Yuri frowned in response.

She was initially reluctant to come, but the Demon King said that if she could defeat the disobedient god in the relatively remote Atlas Mountains, she could avoid potentially greater losses in the future.

Yuri devoted herself to the search.

Seeing the two people so focused and dedicated, Erica sighed heavily in her heart, then glared fiercely at the two people on the other side.

"It's not too late to turn back now. Are you sure you really want to continue? What I said before was definitely not an exaggeration."

But their answers disappointed Erica, just as she had expected.

"Heh, a primordial god-level being? Even for me, this is the first time I've faced such prey. Perhaps it's a rare opportunity to fight with all my might."

"Hmm, if he's really that powerful, he should be able to put on a good fight!"

That's right, the two of them became even more excited.

"As for you, if you were scared, you didn't need to come along, did you?"

Just then, Tony's somewhat nonchalant words came over.

Although Tony doesn't care about most things, the Sword King will still pay attention to Erica since she is a warrior of the same rank.

Erica shook her head and sighed.

To be honest, she was very scared, extremely scared.

Unlike the other two god-killers, she still retained reverence for the gods.

If Yuri's spiritual vision is correct, the other party is clearly not someone who can be easily provoked.
