The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Even though Orpheus had just saved them, it couldn't make them feel at ease in the slightest.

After all, they simply couldn't comprehend the power to manipulate natural disasters.

Orpheus waved his hand, signaling the girl not to speak for the time being.

It's somewhat troublesome in a way. With such a mysterious and unguarded creature, once you take a look at it, as long as you have even the slightest desire to understand it, you'll 'accidentally' absorb all the information about it into your mind.

However, these humans know less about 'humanity' than Orpheus, who scanned the world with the help of the omniscient and omnipotent star.

So...should we really help them?

"In my opinion, leaving them here is the best option, for their own good."

Norns casually rested his hands on the back of his neck, offering a suggestion that didn't seem to bother him much.

However, it incisively pointed out the very issue that the Dragon Goddess was considering.

Humans are fragile, more fragile than ants, and nothing we do can be considered a threat.

Although it's not a good way to put it, the fact that humanity has been able to survive for so long is not only due to luck, resilience, and wisdom, but also largely due to the indifference or even ignorance of the existence of other races.

However, Orpheus was different.

Orpheus is so strong that her every move is imbued with meaning, and whatever she does is perceived as a threat.

If it is discovered that she has had contact with humans, the human race will be plunged into a crisis tens of millions of times worse than the current situation.

It would be impossible to bring them under his protection. If the God of War attacked, the Skywing race under Orpheus would still have a chance to retreat, but these humans would inevitably be wiped out in the aftermath of the first battle.

It's unrealistic to grant these humans power; without elven aptitude, they are essentially cut off from all the power systems of this world, while Orpheus only has the training methods from the Babylonian world.

Although this world, under Orpheus's influence, does indeed possess something that can be called Great Source Magic... even after practicing magic for hundreds of years, one would probably still be no match for the weakest Skywing race.

Moreover, although other races are currently very weak at detecting such pure energy because elves are the main species, Orpheus is certain that they will make up for this sooner or later.

In this way, allowing humans to master this energy would be even more harmful to them.

For the first time, Orpheus experienced the drawbacks of having too much power.

Well... although in a sense this could also be considered a reason why it's not strong enough.

"never mind……"

After thinking for what seemed like an incredibly long time for someone of her own thinking speed, the Dragon Goddess finally made up her mind.

"You know... well, you don't know the locations of other human settlements, do you?"

As he spoke, Orpheus took out a scroll from the golden ripples and opened it, revealing a marked map.

“Send people to these places and gather these humans together.”

In the midst of war, humanity was divided into countless small settlements, each struggling to survive, and even a single aftershock of the conflict could wipe them out.

Besides the ones in front of him, Orpheus had only detected three other human groups in the vicinity.

"Try to persuade them, but if you can't, then forget it."

The red-haired girl's lips twitched.

It feels so casual, is that really okay?

However, she immediately instructed a few people to prepare and set off immediately, and those people did not suspect anything and immediately began to carry out the order.

"Wait a minute?! What did you do?"

But in the next moment, the red-haired girl realized what was happening.

Then, his eyes held a hint of hostility as he looked at Orpheus.

Even if she were stupid, she wouldn't have lost her mind and agreed immediately after hearing what the other person said. Clearly, the girl in front of them had done something to influence their will.

"..."

Orpheus felt somewhat innocent.

She hadn't been in the mirror for nothing; she had honed her leadership skills, and with her own power of words, her speech had considerable brainwashing power over unsuspecting beings.

Moreover, this is a natural phenomenon that is impossible to control.

"I'm so sorry... Is there anything I can help you with?"

While Orpheus was feeling a bit aggrieved, the red-haired girl quickly took a deep breath and asked again in a humble manner.

"..."

The dragon goddess sighed inwardly.

These humans really do have a tough life.

And it's likely they'll have to continue working hard for a long time.

In fact, there is a high chance that they will be completely wiped out in the aftermath of the war.

To be honest, Orpheus had no confidence at all in suppressing the God of War.

Before the weakness—the 'essence'—is discovered, the opponent could attack at any time.

By then, all the preparations will be meaningless.

There is no doubt that the planet will also be reduced to cosmic dust during World War I.

But at the very least, she has to do what she's supposed to do.

For the Dragon Goddess, neither promises nor responsibilities are things she can ever betray.

So she slowly began to speak:

"Get ready, I will lead you to a safe haven, this is my promise as the 'Dragon God'."

Chapter 253 Migration

"Now everyone's here."

The red-haired girl looked at the densely packed crowd of thousands with complicated emotions, unsure of her own feelings.

In addition to her original community, three other smaller settlements were also summoned.

As for why they were so obedient, the girl could probably guess a thing or two.

It's nothing more than someone giving a single instruction.

"Are you ready?"

The girl glanced at the self-proclaimed 'god' who had appeared beside her at some point, and suppressed the urge to sigh.

Honestly, it's probably not just her; there's probably no one in all of humanity who would want to listen to this guy and go with him.

Even though humanity had nothing to gain, even though the other side claimed to want to help them, and even though they would likely have perished in the aftermath of the fleet clash without the other side's protection, they still preferred to maintain the status quo rather than take such an unknown risk.

It's a real shame, there was no choice at all.

What's even more terrifying is that, despite clearly sensing something was wrong beneath that calm voice, no one could muster any desire to resist it.

Humans are really too weak...

"My purpose in summoning you is very simple."

The girl's thoughts were pulled back by the voice of the 'god' beside her.

The sound, utterly calm, amplified by the simultaneous emanation from all directions, clearly reached the ears of every human being.

"Your current location is within the area where the Skywing, Forest Elf, and Goblin are engaged in a three-way battle. If you continue, death will be the only thing waiting for you. Therefore, you must move."

"Since it's a battlefield, wouldn't moving around randomly risk entering the combat zone?"

Despite their fear, some people still couldn't help but voice their opposition.

The sheer number of people moving around at will is far too unpredictable, both in terms of the potential for attracting attention and the possibility of accidentally stumbling into the battlefield.

“I know that you have been living as ‘ghosts’ until now.”

A ghost is an existence that lives hidden in the cracks, unnoticed by anyone, or even if noticed, ignored.

"That is correct, and you must continue to live as ghosts."

The dragon goddess girl calmly proclaimed this fact.

She doesn't have the ability to protect so many humans at once. She can protect them within her reach, but she can't guarantee that they won't perish in the aftermath of her battles with the enemy.

Therefore, humanity can only continue to be 'ignored'.

"Therefore, I will lead them away from here—without anyone noticing."

────────────────────────────────

boom!

A beam of light streaked across the distance, igniting a towering flame.

The intense impact and heat could be felt even from a considerable distance away.

The red-haired girl pulled her cloak tighter, enduring the storm that swept over her body.

Behind her, people supported each other and moved forward slowly.

The girl had no idea how long they had been walking.

In a world that seems to be dead, even the rising and setting of the sun cannot be confirmed.

But... she must have fallen asleep and woken up dozens of times already, right?

As promised, the 'deity' led the humans here undetected by any other race.

She miraculously bypassed both forest elves and goblins, while the greatest enemy that humanity had to face head-on—the orcs, who were almost the only race that would 'take notice' of humanity in a special way—fell into a deep sleep, utterly powerless before this 'god'.

More than a thousand people arrived here safely, despite some close calls.

And now... it seems we're almost at our destination.

Boom!

Reaching out again to shield herself from the dust and smoke stirred up by the aftershocks, the girl found it hard to feel genuinely happy.

"My Lord Prophet, are you there?"

Helplessly, she shouted loudly at the air, and the next moment, the response the girl had hoped for did indeed arrive.
