The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"It seems... a bit weak?"

"Oh?"

The God of War raised an eyebrow.

"No, that one is indeed very powerful. Although it cannot compare to the might of my master, it is definitely a power that I cannot contend with. However, compared to the presence that one gives, her power... seems too weak."

Seemingly realizing she had misspoke, Azriel hurriedly added something.

Even if he is not her master, the creator is still someone she should worship.

"Too weak..."

The God of War repeated Azriel's words, and then...

"Hahaha, hahahahahahahahaha───"

A laugh that could shake the heavens and the earth resounded above Abant Heim.

────────────────────────────────

"Hahaha, hahahahahahaha───"

The blonde girl clutched her stomach and rolled on the ground.

"You're hilarious, you actually got taken down once!"

boom!

The next second, the blonde girl continued to clutch her stomach, squatting down to the side with a wronged expression.

Orpheus glanced at Norns without saying a word.

I feel like this guy's image is getting closer and closer to Qi's, and he's completely lost his aloofness from before.

"It's just that I'm not familiar with the operation."

The dragon goddess sighed and clenched her fists.

I'm really not used to it.

It is indeed much more convenient.

"But you really let her get away like that."

Norns looked in the direction Azriel had left.

Or rather, watching Abant Heim flying in the distance.

Orpheus simply shook his head.

"There is no threat, and the stronger the Skywing species, the better."

the most important is……

"We are not ready to go to war with Artes."

"Yeah."

Norns shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about such matters.

However, the corners of her mouth turned up again.

Is there no threat?

Perhaps that's true. No matter how that Skywing species grows, it really won't pose a threat... Moreover, the growth potential it seems to be given is quite low.

However, it might very well become a 'trouble' due to some future opportunity.

After all, back then, the look that flashed in that Skywing's eyes...

"Hmm, also, we've got a lead on creating a race."

"Oh?"

Norns' thoughts were instantly pulled back.

"Upon close observation today, it was found that the Skywing species also use energy during combat."

That's right.

Even for the Skywing race, controlling spirits requires consuming their own energy; otherwise, without the infinite energy given by Orpheus, they would be capable of becoming perpetual motion machines.

Whether it's mental, energy, physical strength, or something else—there must be some price to pay, and today that question has been confirmed.

"So, you mean we should start from this point?"

"Ah."

The dragon goddess girl nodded.

Now that it's confirmed that the Skywing species can also use energy, that's enough.

"However, we still need to observe other races."

Making the strengths of others one's own—this can be considered a typical application of self-reference.

"Of course, before that..."

Orpheus vanished without warning.

Instead, it was replaced by an oppressive force that was almost on par with the rest of the world.

A purple sun shone brightly in the sky, and the fortress below echoed it with mysterious patterns and booming sounds.

At the same time, as if vying for attention, a burst of loud laughter erupted from the direction of Abant Heim.

Along with the laughter came the divine power of the supreme god.

The two heavenly powers clashed.

The world roared, the planets trembled.

At this moment, all the gods and races that were fighting stopped, their trembling courage completely dissipated under the aftershocks.

At the highest peak of the Seat of Scorching Heat, a golden dragon opened its eyes, its vertical pupils gleaming with complex light, before slowly closing them again.

The exchange between the two lasted only one second.

In a single second, all life on the entire planet became aware of it.

The reason why the strongest is called the strongest.

Chapter 243 Preparation Complete

Large-scale wars have temporarily ceased, leaving only small-scale, localized conflicts.

This is a normal phenomenon.

After experiencing the overwhelming pressure from before, and the purple sun hanging high in the sky afterward, it would be difficult for anyone to immediately start fighting without a care in the world.

When a nuclear bomb is hovering overhead, the outcome of a fight between petty thugs becomes meaningless.

During this period, a new nightmare emerged.

The wings of the God of War, known as the Skywing Species.

It is the most powerful weapon that indiscriminately and mercilessly slaughters all life in sight, as if it were playing around, with absolute power that surpasses all races.

Even the usually aloof Dragon Spirits had several members who were severely injured or even killed by the Skywings' siege.

If we had to point out any weakness of this race, it would be their lack of numbers, but their strong individual strength and ability to fight in unison are enough to make up for this shortcoming.

With more than two digits of Skywing race, there is almost no chance of victory. Even if an army surrounds and annihilates them, they will break through after suffering heavy casualties. Only through a series of meticulous plans can they be dealt a heavy blow.

All races and nations had to consolidate their forces to deal with the threat from the Skywing race.

"At least it's developing in the direction you expected."

Norns laughed.

For Orpheus, this war presents three challenges: defeating the God of War, preserving the planet, and preserving the planet while defeating the God of War.

Before figuring out a way to deal with the God of War, it's best to delay the decisive battle as much as possible, but without letting the war continue to erode the planet. Therefore, reducing large-scale battles to small-scale conflicts is the best approach.

While her and the God of War's power deterred everyone from making any rash moves, the God of War was able to continue his war games to his heart's content.

The God of War is unlikely to launch a decisive battle before he gets tired of playing with the game.

Of course, an opponent strong enough to counterbalance the Skywing race and make the God of War feel 'interested' is also necessary.

At the same time, it also served as the 'wings' that enabled Orpheus to control the war situation.

Beneath the high-hanging purple sun, a colossal fortress floats silently, surrounded by eleven enormous spheres flashing with purple lightning.

Although there has been little activity since its appearance, the area around this fortress, like the area where Abant Heim operates, has long been designated as a no-go zone by most races.

Even without the earth-shattering clash of wills that occurred before, the intense energy permeating this place at this moment would be enough to make people retreat.

"Is that so? I do find the air around here quite pleasant."

After listening to Norns' report, the dragon goddess tilted her head in confusion.

Norns, however, simply pursed his lips in silence.

What Orpheus said was true; the 'sun' in the sky itself helped the energy cycle of this world, at least to some extent improving the environment of this planet, which had essentially become apocalyptic.

The fortress directly below naturally has the most obvious impact.

However, at the same time, the energy emitted by the 'sun' here is also the most intense, enough to make the race as 'living beings' feel quite uncomfortable.

"---So, if you're going to create a race, it's best to create it in the form of 'life,' for their health."

Norns said this.

The 'life' the girl speaks of is an energy or concept with no clear boundary between soul and vessel (body), possessing will. Generally speaking, this refers to the so-called superior species, including gods, winged beings, dragon spirits, and fantasy beings, all of which fall under the category of 'life'.

'Bio' is naturally the complete opposite concept, possessing a physical body, reproducing in a normal way, and whose soul strength is far different from that of life.

The environment of this fortress now... is indeed not very suitable for the survival of 'living things'.

Orpheus nodded in understanding.

"So how's the situation on your end?"

Upon hearing Norns' question, Orpheus's lips curled up.
