The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Ishtar raised an eyebrow, her expression changing for the first time as she looked at the group.

Then she seemed to notice something in Voban and frowned.

"Ah, speaking of which, that priestess just now seemed to have said your name was Ishtar, right? If my memory serves me right, she seems to be the same person as Inanna. Since you don't seem to remember that experience, let me remind you."

The Marquis infused even greater power into his claws, and a ferocious grin appeared on the massive wolf head.

"Although I don't know why her appearance has changed, Inanna... is nothing more than a soul that was once under my claws!"

boom!!!

The moment the enormous roar erupted, the Marquis was no longer in his original position.

Instead, golden pillars of light fell from the sky.

Unbeknownst to them, the goddess's blood-red eyes had turned golden.

"...You really dare to say that."

To Erica's surprise, the goddess did not launch an attack in a fit of rage. Instead, she showed a smile that seemed somewhat inexplicable for the first time.

It was as if the child had seen a toy that interested them.

"I see. A god-slayer? Your ability to seize the power of the gods is indeed eye-opening. Under other circumstances, I might have considered dismembering your limbs and keeping them by my side for careful observation. But unfortunately, you did things you shouldn't have done and said things you shouldn't have said."

As if she were genuinely lamenting this, the goddess closed her eyes and shook her head.

"I regret to inform you that I will punish you by burning you to ashes in the light of Venus."

A powerful surge of divine energy descended from the sky.

Erica paused, swallowed hard, and slowly raised her gaze.

That was the spot where the golden beam of light had just been emitted.

A semi-transparent outline appeared there, then gradually revealed its true form.

Its perfectly streamlined body is adorned with the finest gold and gemstones, and its enormous size makes it difficult to take in at a glance.

A magnificent and splendid ark appeared in the sky.

The very existence of the divine constantly reveals its glory.

At the same time, countless points of light converged at various parts of the ship, gathering an immense power that terrified Erica.

What followed was the goddess's command.

"Annihilate them, Maana!"

The next second, a golden rain of light fell from the sky.

"Hahaha, this is interesting!"

The white wolf roared and charged straight at the goddess without flinching, letting the rain of light fall all around it.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom --

Skillfully dodging all direct hits and minimizing even the aftershocks, the Marquis gave the goddess no chance to launch a second volley, and was about to reach her in the blink of an eye.

However, a wicked smile curled at the corners of the goddess's mouth.

"As agile as a mouse, I understand. Not satisfied with this punishment? Considering you've brought me some amusement, I'll change it."

The Marquis ignored him and continued to lean forward.

“Smash him to pieces!”

The wolf's claws swung down, striking the goddess from a tricky angle.

The goddess's smile remained unchanged; she simply opened her arms and called out the true name of the treasure.

"Gugalana!"

In the next instant, a beam of light, countless times more powerful than any of the previous attacks, descended from the sky, tearing everything on the earth apart.

Chapter 223 Goddess vs. Wolf

"Cough cough cough..."

Amidst the smoke and dust, Erica scrambled to her feet.

She only looked up after confirming that the two girls she had pulled over during the crisis were safe and sound.

Then he gasped.

"You must be joking..."

The entire mountain peak has completely disappeared.

Just as the goddess said, it shattered and scattered into dust.

Yuri Mariya opened her eyes in a daze, but fainted again after seeing the scene before her.

For a shrine maiden who hadn't seen much of the world, this was perfectly understandable.

Even ignoring the vanished mountain peaks, the sight before her still made Erica's body tremble slightly.

It was a towering 'monster'.

It took three people to hug just one of its tiny hooves, which was incredibly small compared to its body. The power wrapped around it was so overwhelming that even she, as a god-slayer, felt extremely oppressed.

Its bones are made of gold, and its body is made of thunderclouds.

Gugalana, also known as the Bull of Heaven, was a monster that ravaged Mesopotamia for seven years.

Erica suddenly remembered Gilgamesh, who called himself Orpheus.

According to mythology, if she hadn't been cowardly for seven years before coming out to fight, then this monster was one that she and another equally matched person fought together for seven years before finally killing!

Thinking of the power Orpheus unleashed back then, Erica felt that she could barely last seven minutes against her.

Of course, this is just based on mythology; the monster in front of her may not actually be that powerful. But even so, its overwhelming aura made it hard for Erica to breathe.

In fact, the current appearance of the Bull of the Sky is still very illusory, as if it could disappear at any moment.

But Erika could sense that the power of this land was rapidly gathering towards the Bull of Heaven, transforming into its power.

Seemingly noticing this at the same time as Erika, Ishtar, standing below Gugalana, momentarily looked a little strange, but quickly returned to normal.

"...No, there's no need, Gugalana. It's enough for you to exist in the form of a concept. These ants don't need you to show your form."

"Moo───"

The enormous divine bull bellowed once, then gradually faded and disappeared.

"Hehehe... Hahahaha, that's great, that's wonderful!"

Erica looked in astonishment at the old man who had escaped the direct hit and was almost unharmed.

The marquis, still in wolf form, laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

"I've been waiting for so long..."

Once calmed down, the white wolf's mouth curled up in a ferocious grin.

"A worthy opponent!"

Even though the divine bull did not materialize, its terrifying power had not dissipated, and the raging winds and waves that dominated the sky were unable to be unleashed under the divine bull's countermeasure.

But it doesn't matter.

If you can't summon wind and thunder, just tear it apart with your claws and teeth!

The white wolf transformed into a hurricane and sped away.

"...This is really troublesome."

The goddess frowned slightly.

Although she was somewhat interested in Godslayers, the constant pestering from others was quite annoying.

What displeased the goddess most was that she couldn't bring herself to turn everything here into wasteland.

Ishtar raised her arm in the direction the white wolf was charging from.

Dozens of golden beams shot out from Ma'anna, sealing off all escape routes around the white wolf, while stars fell from the sky at the same time.

It was an imposing force, as if the sky were falling.

That was a strike from the divine bull of heaven.

Even if it is only manifested in the form of a concept, it is an absolute power that is enough to grind everything between the earth and the sky, and it crushes down on the Marquis.

boom!!!

────────────────────────────────

Boom!

The space inside Atlas's courtyard trembled.

Athena's expression was complicated.

Although she had managed to conceal her emotions well, the goddess of wisdom was still startled when the witch realized Orpheus's true identity.

The progenitor of the Dragon Gods... in a sense, can be considered the origin of oneself.

Because the other party didn't seem to care much, Athena tried her best to remain calm... but in the end, she couldn't help but waver.

Should I go and acknowledge my ancestors...? No, I should say the goddess of wisdom was quite curious about how she, as the ancestor of dragons and snakes, had gotten involved with steel.

But before this matter could even be investigated, another goddess appeared in the other person's life.

Ishtar, the goddess of Venus, is considered the archetype of Athena in mythology.

So we have to recognize one more person?

As she made the final adjustments, Athena let out a heavy sigh in her heart.

On the other side, Orpheus looked at the sky that had developed cracks.

In reality, this Atlas Academy was built in an alternate dimension based on the Atlas Mountains, and there simply wasn't enough time to excavate such a large area.

Even so, the monster's attack still affected this place.

And that was just a projection.
