The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

However, only the god of war could probably design such an extreme weapon designed solely for warfare.

However, it still has its flaws.

No, it's less a flaw and more a balance point that serves as a weakness.

Orpheus, however, has the ability to overcome this weakness.

"..."

Orpheus shifted his gaze from the spell to the God of War.

"What do you want, and what can I possibly get?"

Having received a direct answer from the Dragon Goddess for the first time, the God of War laughed arrogantly.

Chapter 238 Considerations

"I can't understand it—"

Orpheus frowned deeply.

For the Dragon God Girl, this was already quite a reaction.

"You said that if I could assist you, you would provide the core of the technique—and its most important concept?"

Orpheus could understand the former. If Orpheus was not mistaken about the other party's purpose, then even if the other party did not provide the core spell, she would have plenty of opportunities to fully analyze it if she wanted to.

But the latter has a completely different meaning.

Even with a complete formula, it cannot function without the 'reason' held by the God of War, and Orpheus can only use it as a reference.

However, if the God of War were to offer up His most essential power, then Orpheus would be perfectly capable of creating a weapon identical to the God of War's.

“That’s right. We don’t need to beat around the bush. What I value is your infinite principle. In this way, the flaws of the race I intend to create—the ‘Skywing Race’—can be completely made up.”

Orpheus pondered the purpose of the god of war.

...The Skywing race? But the name doesn't matter.

In fact, the moment she saw the spell, she understood why the God of War had taken such an interest in her.

This is a weapon that only the God of War could design and create on this planet—but only in the hands of Orpheus can it be unleashed at its full potential.

This is precisely why Orpheus couldn't understand the God of War's actions.

Orpheus was able to unleash the full power of the Winged Race, but the problem of the God of War was not actually solved as a result.

Even if the Skywing race is dealt with, the God of War's side remains a problem.

“I never stoop to taking advantage of others. Exchanging my ‘strongest’ for your ‘infinite’ is the fairest way to exchange law for law.”

Orpheus did not answer immediately, but instead reached out and summoned the magic spell that had been floating between the two of them to the side of the dragon goddess girl.

Staring intently at the spell, Orpheus pondered for a long while before turning to look at the God of War, narrowing his eyes.

Do you want to start a war?

The God of War's actions were tantamount to giving Orpheus a perfect weapon and keeping a flawed one for himself.

Although she couldn't understand it, she could roughly guess the God of War's purpose.

As the god of war, he naturally takes nourishment from war.

"Oh? You didn't know?"

However, the God of War was slightly taken aback, then shook his head indifferently.

"Never mind, you'll find out eventually. War is inevitable, we will be enemies, and in the end, I will win."

As if stating a fact, the God of War made this declaration in a calm and understated manner.

"If that's the case, then you have even less reason to do business with me..."

No, there is.

Suddenly, the God of War interrupted Orpheus.

"Being able to complete my creation is certainly a minor factor, but what I value is something much simpler."

The God of War revealed a ferocious smile.

"The rest of the gods are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs, not worth mentioning. One-sided ravaging can only be called slaughter. And so-called war—at least it has to be a battle between two equally matched sides, right?"

────────────────────────────────

"Norns?"

With the God of War gone, Orpheus looked at the blonde girl who had remained silent, puzzled.

If we're talking about fate, it's definitely a law that can determine the outcome of a battle, and Norns is undoubtedly the purest of gods. Yet, the god of war ignores the girl, as if she were merely a follower of Orpheus.

"It's nothing, I just have some experience in hiding myself."

Norns smiled and shook his head.

"Compared to this, are you planning to agree to His request?"

Orpheus looked at the spell in his hand and fell silent.

She had simply left the spell behind and postponed her reply to the God of War.

For Orpheus, who possesses immense mental strength and the power of an omniscient star, one second is equivalent to several hours of thinking for an ordinary person, so coming up with an answer is certainly not that difficult.

However, she also had her own considerations.

"Are you thinking about whether you want to stay on this planet?"

Norns smiled.

Orpheus nodded.

If you want to leave, just help the God of War replenish the Skywing Seed, take the benefits, and leave immediately. Don't care about any pretentious talk about an evenly matched opponent.

But if you want to stay, you need to consider more factors.

Most importantly, if the God of War were to fight any god of equal strength, the planet would definitely suffer great damage.

If two or more gods with such power were to engage in a life-or-death struggle, it would be questionable whether the planet could even survive.

They seem to want to develop their own race before launching a war.

If it's just a matter of letting subordinate races fight on their behalf, that's fine. But if the creator and all its creations are fighting together... then this planet really might not be able to withstand it.

However, this is not enough to justify Orpheus's decision to stay. If those gods were truly as incompetent as the God of War described, then Orpheus could simply eliminate them. But if their strengths were roughly equal, having another Orpheus would only hasten the planet's collapse.

It would be better to strengthen the God of War's 'Skywing Race' so that He can end the war sooner.

If possible, Orpheus actually wanted to eliminate the God of War, who was most likely the instigator of the war, but in the end he did not do so.

Firstly, because the God of War's words seemed to imply a deeper meaning to this war; secondly, because... she probably really couldn't defeat that God of War.

Or rather, there's no way to determine a winner between the two; before that happens, the planet will be destroyed.

Therefore, this option was immediately eliminated from the beginning.

"Before considering this question, aren't you curious about what that guy said about the cause of the war, and other information about this planet?"

"..."

Orpheus has indeed not yet investigated any information about this planet, but...

Is there anything special about this planet?

"Who knows? In this area of ​​investigation, your omniscience and omnipotence make things much easier than my fate."

Norns smiled slightly.

"Although I'm not entirely sure, I think it would be better for you to stay... if my words are enough to give you a reason."

As he said this, Norns looked directly into Orpheus's eyes.

"Moreover, I think if we stay, we should be able to see some very interesting things."

"……Yeah?"

Orpheus exhaled.

"Let's check out the information about this planet first."

"Then let's take a look."

Norns smiled nonchalantly.

She knew that Orpheus actually wanted to stay.

Although she doesn't have the power to save this planet, she would still want to stay with it until the very end.

Most importantly—those war gods.

"Speaking of which, Norns really got into the swing of things quickly."

Norns's lips twitched.

Yes, I got into the role of this 'servant' way too quickly.

Is it because the constraints imposed by that future entity are too strong, or is it...?

Norns sighed and shook his head.

"In any case, let's find out the cause of this war first."

Chapter 239 War Begins

An island that can float in the sky—possessing an appearance that would mislead anyone who sees it—is a fantasy species named Avant Heim that drifts slowly without any purpose.

The Fantasy Race is the second most powerful race in this world, after the Divine Race.

However, on the back of this fantasy creature, a man exuding a powerful aura sat casually, his hand supporting his cheek.

God of War — Artesius.

The embodiment of war, the most powerful being on this planet, or even the entire world.

Without a doubt, the strongest god.
