The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

From this perspective, Ishtar actually held back quite a bit back then, since it was just a clone.

In terms of power, it's not even as strong as this projection.

However, we can't let that person continue to cause trouble like this.

Even if she's trying to control herself now, that woman can go crazy in just half a second.

Orpheus lowered his eyes.

I was hoping to spend another half a day practicing, but in the end I just made things difficult for myself.

It was somewhat unexpected that Ishtar was summoned with this kind of personality.

Those god-slayers are fine as they are, letting them into this base is no problem, but Ishtar is different, she must be stopped.

Well, based on the methods she's used so far, she's probably capable of even using that, right?

If that were the case, the entire Atlas Mountains would probably disappear, and the Atlas Academy itself would not be spared.

We can't let all our previous efforts go to waste...

I'm going out for a bit.

Before Athena could respond, Orpheus lightly jumped off the platform and disappeared before landing.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom --

Dozens of golden beams of light descended from the sky every second, but they could only engulf the white wolf's afterimage.

At the same time, the karmic fire of judgment fell from above, continuously scorching Ma'anna's defensive barrier.

Clang──

The white claws struck the golden barrier formed by the Crown of Radiance, producing a piercing scraping sound.

"They are as nimble and quick as rats, and as repulsive as rats."

The golden beam of light shot down again, but the white wolf dodged it at an incredible angle.

Even if it's an occasional scrape, it's not a serious injury and can be healed instantly.

In the process of dodging, the Marquis's claws once again sparked a burst of sparks on the golden barrier.

The goddess's expression already showed a hint of impatience.

boom!!!

A chaotic golden storm erupted from the goddess, blasting even the white wolf away.

Then, at the critical moment, it dodged the attack of the Heavenly Divine Ox.

"This is really troublesome..."

The goddess's sense of irritation grew stronger.

Her ability to control her emotions to this extent is unprecedented in mythology, but at this moment she has reached her limit.

"Never mind, precise operations aren't really my strong suit anyway..."

While the white wolf was dodging, the goddess floated into the air at some point.

Then, wave gently.

With just this one action, a storm and a flood descended simultaneously, sweeping away the Flames of Judgment.

The goddess waved once more.

There were no unusual weather phenomena this time, nor did any giant longhorn beetles fall from the sky.

Instead, a magnificent golden spear was held in the goddess's hand, pointed directly at the ground in a javelin-throwing posture.

Instantly, an intense sense of oppression physically pinned everyone to the ground.

For some reason, Erica suddenly remembered.

In mythology, the goddess used the entire mountain as a spear to destroy the earth.

"You should feel honored that I can use this."

The goddess's proud voice echoed from the sky.

"That's right, feel honored, and then die with honor—that is the greatest blessing for you!"

And so, Ishtar hurled the spear.

Chapter 224 Reunion with the Goddess

Legend has it that Ishtar once climbed a mountain that even the gods feared, uprooted its peak, and plunged it into the mountain's base, causing the mountain range known as Ebikhev to completely collapse.

Transformed from its own atrocities into a myth, this spear, formed from a mountain peak, is held aloft by the goddess of Venus, as if displaying its own brilliance.

"Maanna, load!"

With a loud call, the spear hurled by the goddess did not strike downwards, but instead transformed into a stream of light and returned to Maana above.

At the same time, a golden planetary phantom appeared above the Skyship, then transformed into light and attached itself to Maanna's turret.

"From the boundless sky to the boundless land..."

That was the first sentence inscribed in the myth of 'Inanna descends to the underworld,' a sacred word as high as the heavens—Enuma Elish.

Even though the outcome was tragic, Ishtar was undoubtedly at her peak before descending to the underworld.

As the goddess uttered her clear incantation, the Sky Ship, imbued with the power of Venus and the mountains, aimed its main cannon at the area below where the god-slayers were located.

The mere fluctuations in energy caused the earth to tremble as if in fear.

"Hahahaha, come on!"

The enormous white wolf spread its arms wide, roaring as if looking up to the sky.

Marquis Voban is not stupid.

Why would a disobedient god be killed by a god-killer?

Admittedly, the god-slayer's good fortune and talent played a significant role, but this cannot justify such a large gap in strength.

Ultimately, it's because a god who doesn't obey can never exert his full power against humanity.

Perhaps it was out of pride, or perhaps out of disdain.

Marquis Voban, who hunted gods as prey, understood this better than anyone.

He won't make the same mistake.

The same is true.

Eager to truly face enough opponents, he will give it his all in battle!

The opponent is stronger than oneself; this can be discerned from the absolute pressure emanating from them.

But the Marquis of Voban felt no fear.

Now, facing this life-or-death predicament, he recalled the scene of his first time slaying a god.

— An unparalleled surge of excitement.

The peaks of Mount Ebihf, the power of Venus, and the power of words from the underworld—all these elements combined to create a powerful attack that had reached its zenith.

Even before it was fully launched, the earth was already trembling and wailing under the aftershocks of the energy.

"Wail, then die!"

As the goddess waved her hand, the spear, imbued with the concept of Venus, transformed into a streak of light and shot out from Maana's turret.

What came head-on was a force as powerful as falling stars, striking the Marquis squarely.

Even faster than the impact, the ground melted away around the Marquis, turning into fragments that scattered everywhere.

"Haa ...

Even when faced with unimaginably terrifying heat, the white wolf, possessing the power of Apollo, did not flinch in the slightest. The Marquis roared and then swung his fist heavily.

The white wolf's giant paw met the tip of the spear.

In the next instant, the golden energy transformed into a giant wave that swept out in all directions.

Erica stared blankly at all of this.

Venus's power tore everything apart without mercy.

The mountains collapsed, and the earth shattered.

It's like an apocalyptic scene.

It wasn't until the heat hit her that Erica snapped out of her shock, gritted her teeth, grabbed the two girls at her feet, and ran away.

If it is allowed to spread, it could affect areas several kilometers or even larger.

Although she was glad she had the foresight to evacuate the civilians beforehand, Erika was now more concerned about how to escape danger herself.

Her speed could not possibly exceed the speed of energy diffusion.

"Oh, you're coming too?"

"Your Excellency, the King of Swords?"

Sometime during the day, Tony, dressed in vacation clothes, was running alongside Erica with a grin on his face.

"That's terrifying. That old man is probably dead. Ah, though if things continue like this, we'll all die together."

Even as he said this, Tony's expression remained frivolous, which made Erica quite exasperated.

"I'm telling you, instead of wasting your time talking nonsense, why don't you think of a solution!"

"No, no, even I am helpless against this kind of high temperature."

Erica hadn't expected Tony to come up with any ideas anyway, so she looked back.

In the girl's eyes, several stones about a hundred meters away turned into gas before they came into contact with the torrent of energy.

Erica regretted turning away.

At that speed, it wouldn't take ten seconds for the two of them to be affected.
