The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Suddenly, without any warning, a purple barrier appeared behind the two of them, just seconds before.

"This is?!"

Erica couldn't help but look back again.

The light of Venus did not retreat because of the appearance of the barrier, and struck the purple city wall directly.

boom!!!

A loud bang was heard as the two energies intersected, but under Erica's expectant gaze, the energy completely stopped, and the purple barrier was stretched and lengthened like a net being stretched open, closing the distance to Erica and her companion once again.

"...This is really troublesome."

As she ran, Erica suddenly heard a familiar, lazy voice.

A black-haired girl with a "this is really troublesome" expression sat on a giant rock not far in front of her, looking at the approaching energy flow with the same "this is really, really troublesome" look, and raised one hand.

Before Erica could even figure out what was happening, the scorching heatwave had already engulfed her.

Even with the purple barrier blocking her way, the intense heat still made it hard for Erika to breathe.

And that golden radiance was already within reach.

Just then, Orpheus gently clenched his open hand.

"Ugh?"

The purple barrier stopped almost in front of Erica's nose.

The next second, even faster than the spread, the light of Venus was forcefully suppressed by the purple net.

boom!!!

Under intense compression, a golden pillar of light, hundreds of meters in diameter, shot into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

Erica was left speechless, and Tony, who seemed to be unaware of what was happening.

"...What? Is that you?"

Hearing a voice that she hadn't heard many times but which left a deep impression on her, Erica, without a moment of surprise, instantly jumped to the side on alert.

The displeased goddess was standing a few meters away at some point.

"Why didn't you come out to greet me right away? Are you busy cuddling with your little chains somewhere?"

"Ishtar is the one who's just bombarding everything indiscriminately like a mindless artillery emplacement. It's really not elegant."

Erica then remembered that the two were semi-enemies in the final stages of the myth.

For some reason, a sense of anticipation rose in the girl's heart.

"...Pfft."

Just as she was about to shout "Let's fight!" in her heart, Ishtar suddenly laughed.

"You actually fought back? You've really changed a lot. Although I have the relevant memories, this is the first time I've ever seen this."

"baffling……"

Orpheus tilted his head.

This Ishtar is indeed very strange.

Ishtar possesses a complex and contradictory divinity, embodying both mercy and cruelty.

She might curse and drag the miserable to heaven when she's angry, or she might laugh and push those who have just climbed to heaven back to hell when she's happy.

But now Ishtar doesn't seem to have any other inhibitions, nor does she give off the feeling of being mentally ill, though she's also different from how she was when she merged with her host body before.

"This kind of thing isn't important..."

In response, the goddess of Venus waved her hand and gave Orpheus a meaningful smile.

But before she could say anything, something unexpected happened.

"Ang───"

With a high-pitched dragon roar, a huge black dragon soared into the sky, even obscuring the sun.

Meanwhile, along with the surrounding environment, Venus's expression, which had seemed to be turning somewhat happy, also darkened.

Chapter 225 Killing the Black Dragon

"Hmph──"

The girl in white Hanfu gave a cold snort, and her palm blade, infused with all her power and authority, broke through her steel body and pierced the heart of her opponent.

"It's over, Monkey King."

"Ah...it seems so. It seems I've been idle in this godforsaken place for too long. I've almost forgotten how to fight."

The golden-eyed, golden-haired monkey scratched its head in exasperation.

"Fine, it's better than being trapped here any longer. Honestly, consider this a win for you, Rakshasa King. But next time it won't be so easy."

After uttering his final words, Sun Wukong, who refused to listen, transformed into golden specks of light and vanished.

She glanced at John, who had been fighting two gods alone and was now panting heavily after disappearing with Sun Wukong, and finally managed to escape the siege. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

The power that should have appeared within me did not appear.

Although she didn't care much about the amount of power, she wouldn't allow anyone to take away what rightfully belonged to them without permission.

"Is that you...?"

Thinking of the witch who had guided him to this place, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Sect.

Watching this scene from afar, Guinevere felt a growing sense of anxiety.

"No, it's not like that after all..."

[Hmph, that guy was definitely deceiving us.]

Within the shadow of the Divine Ancestor, the knight snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.

"No, this shouldn't be, this is impossible..."

Guinevere bit her lip, analyzing the situation carefully.

“It can’t be a deception… It’s meaningless to that person. There must be something missing… Yes, this place is indeed too strange. The great spell that can seal that Great Sage seems to be hiding something.”

After careful analysis, Guinevere's expression hardened once more.

"That's right, our king is already asleep somewhere on this island!"

"I don't care where your so-called king sleeps."

However, at this moment, the sudden sound made the goddess girl turn pale.

A voice as beautiful as a lion's roar, yet incomparably melodious; a sound one would never forget after hearing it just once, and its owner—

"You dare to steal what belongs to me? You should be prepared for the worst, right? Show me what tricks you have up your sleeve, or you'll face death!"

One of the seven god-slayers, the martial arts master named Luo Cuilian, had somehow appeared before Guinevere.

────────────────────────────────

'Black Dragon of the Underworld' is Marquis Voban's trump card ability.

The physical body falls into a state of suspended animation, while the spirit transforms into a physical black dragon with the powerful ability to destroy everything around it. It can be resurrected after death and also has the ability to transfer between the realms of life and death.

Of course, none of these things matter to the goddess.

The key point is the source of this power—it was usurped from Inanna.

Even if she couldn't know directly, and even if she knew but still ignored it, the information emanating from this black dragon, which was so similar to her own, was constantly reminding Ishtar.

Needless to say, although she didn't know why it was a black dragon, the strong aura of the underworld seemed to come entirely from her own experience of descending into the underworld—the most humiliating memory of the goddess's life.

"The 'me' in this world is really useless."

Her smile turned into a ferocious expression. The goddess narrowed her golden eyes as she looked at the black dragon roaring high in the sky, and clenched her fists.

"Roar!!!"

Just then, the dragon roared again, but instead of attacking Ishtar, it lunged upwards towards the location of the Skyship Maana.

As it flew, the black dragon spewed out raging flames from its mouth.

That was no ordinary flame, but the karmic fire of judgment from the power of authority.

Boom!

A golden shield appeared around Maanna, keeping the flames at bay.

Even so, the shield emitted a series of ear-piercing roars, as if in protest.

Ultimately, it was the power of God, and Maana's defenses were still somewhat lacking.

Not only was she insulted in this way, but she was also being completely ignored. Ishtar's anger was almost bursting out.

"Alright, let's deal with this lizard-like beast first, then take down 'me' in this world as well..."

She was only halfway through her sentence when she was interrupted by a voice from behind that she had never expected.

"Leave it to me."

"Huh? You..."

The goddess's angry expression almost completely collapsed, and she looked back with a comical expression.

Then he met the eyes of the serious-looking dragon goddess girl.

Seeing Ishtar's expression, Orpheus suddenly chuckled.

"...What's that? Ishtar's expression is hilarious."

"It's not funny! No, it's not that kind of question. You actually offered to do something?!"

You should know that during Orpheus's most extreme period... which was also when he had just met Ishtar, he wouldn't utter a single unnecessary word.

"...No, since they've all come out, then it's alright. No, I mean, it's alright to help Ishtar too."

The dragon goddess girl slightly turned her gaze away.

The goddess twitched the corner of her mouth.
