The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Orpheus's body was still engulfed in blazing golden flames, but she seemed unconcerned, holding a crystal ball as she absentmindedly nodded.

"After dealing with a few more forests inhabited by 'demonic species', this area should be temporarily safe enough for humans to settle down."

The Demon Species is a species created by something called the Demon King, which is either an evil god or a fantasy species. They are not very intelligent, have no sense of reason, are highly aggressive, have an unattractive appearance, and cannot be eaten. In a post-apocalyptic scenario, they would be the kind of monsters responsible for invasion, creatures that cannot provide any help or contribution to the world.

Therefore, after being transferred to the continent of Lucia, they became the first target for Orpheus's Winged Race to demonstrate their power.

It also clears a path for humans that is at least slightly safer.

"So, do you think we should teleport a few more times? To wipe out a few more demon strongholds?"

Orpheus tilted his head.

"3 times, 5 times?"

Norns twitched his lips.

"Did you use your powers to peek at the answers?"

"No."

The dragon goddess girl shook her head.

Norns looked at the exact same answer displayed in the crystal ball in his hand and sighed.

"Your learning speed is going to really hurt my feelings."

In this way, one can be said to have entered the most mysterious realm of 'fate'...

It took three days.

This speed is nothing... Although it's fast for a dragon, Norns herself only spent... well, she didn't spend any time learning fate. Most of her current abilities were already there when she was born.

The problem is, this little guy doesn't seem to have anything to do with fate...

Norns recalled that time, when a series of concepts such as time, birth and death, wind, water, and fire kept emerging after space, eventually swirling into a seemingly endless vortex.

Then, in the very center of the vortex, the character 'fate' that she had initially crossed out reappeared.

She felt a tightness in her chest.

In theory, infinity can indeed encompass all abilities; otherwise, it wouldn't be called infinity.

The problem is that there is too much to cover and too little to understand in a short time, which makes Orpheus unsure which path to take first.

On the other hand, even if she wanted to learn, she had no way to access the skills due to the incomplete inheritance of the knowledge.

The end result is that now, in battle, apart from using her powers, she is just a turret that can only randomly bombard others with magic and at most add a little bit of special attributes.

The magic tricks I learned before were too weak; they were practically useless except for providing a little convenience in daily life.

Moreover, Orpheus, who spends most of his time lying down and at most sitting up, doesn't need any conveniences in life.

This not only results in extremely low energy efficiency but also causes a lot of unnecessary damage to the surrounding environment.

Finally, there's the point that you can't defeat the God of War with just energy attacks.

At best, they can remain undefeated; even if they win, they will have to pay the price of at least one star system.

The reason why the battle was limited to such a small area in the previous battle was simply because neither the God of War nor Orpheus were taking it seriously, and the God of War used mostly conceptual attacks in that battle.

After all, neither physical nor energy attacks are effective against Orpheus; they may hurt her, but she will recover instantly.

In that battle, more than half of the losses suffered by the Skywing and Dragon Spirit races were caused by the aftermath of their battle, and Orpheus accounted for the majority of these losses.

If things really come to the point where neither side holds back anymore, that's when Planet Mother will be reduced to ashes.

Therefore, the Dragon God Girl truly developed the desire to 'become stronger'.

"But fate..."

Norns frowned.

"It centers on destiny, but shouldn't the core be infinity...?"

Could it be that my future self has some special backup plan?

Something doesn't seem right either; it seems like that guy has been avoiding any overlap between Orpheus and her path.

Norns was pretty sure the guy couldn't be fully resurrected, so at least he wasn't lying about getting Orpheus to achieve her original goal.

However, choosing one's destiny is truly a strange thing.

Orpheus's goal is to become stronger, and Norns also makes his choice with this goal in mind.

But even with the greatest talent and the fastest learning ability, fate simply cannot make one stronger quickly in the beginning...

Norns still remembers the miserable life he led, when he possessed theoretical knowledge that was ahead of his time, yet he could only carry a sword and rely on his intuition to kill people.

"How does it feel to use? Do you ever have that 'sudden enlightenment' feeling?"

Orpheus thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"As expected, there isn't one..."

Norns sighed.

Should we learn more? The vortexes surrounding 'fate' are also something to be concerned about.

Seeing how fast this little guy learns, why not go all out and learn all the elements of space, time, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in one go?

Of course, Norns was just thinking about it; if he really tried to do it that way, he wouldn't get any results even after studying for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Perhaps it will emerge from the earth after millions of years, having achieved its full potential.

Regardless, let's get the core structure up and running first. Norns is quite confident in his fortune-telling abilities; no matter how bizarre they may seem, they must have some basis in fact.

I guess so……

boom!!!

At that moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside, and even the heavily fortified Sky Garden trembled slightly.

"what happened?"

Orpheus tilted his head.

[Report: We have encountered one of the four individuals known as the 'Four Heavenly Kings' among the demon race. We are completing data collection and expect to defeat them within fifty minutes.]

The dragon goddess looked out of the garden.

A gigantic monster, resembling a small mountain and covered in those bizarre creatures shrouded in miasma, was writhing and roaring as it fought against a squad of thirty-one Skywings.

"Hmm, the Four Heavenly Kings? They seem pretty powerful."

Norns stroked his chin.

"Should we get reinforcements? One team is enough, but it doesn't seem very reliable if we want to complete the raid without taking any damage."

Orpheus thought for a moment, then suddenly rolled to the ground.

Norns: "..."

"I'll give it a try."

Orpheus stood up again, dusted off the robe that had appeared on his body, and walked towards the door.

"???"

Norns glanced at the still-burning 'skin' on the ground, then at the dragon goddess girl who showed no signs of flames appearing on her body, and his lips twitched.

Oh, so it's that easy to deal with the flames? Then why did you take so long? Did you find it comfortable to be burned...?

Then, she saw Orpheus reach out and squeeze the mountain-like beast below.

In the blink of an eye, the eerie forest on the giant beast withered away at an extremely fast speed, and the giant beast's vitality also dissipated rapidly.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon race lost his life inexplicably.

Norns: "!??"

Chapter 265 The Power of Destiny

"!??"

Norns's lips twitched, his gaze shifting between the four Heavenly Kings, who lay dead with their eyes wide open, and the Dragon Goddess, whose fists were still clenching as she stared at him.

"Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?"

But having seen his share of ups and downs, Norns wasn't too shaken... what a load of rubbish!

"What did you just do? Destruction? Destruction? No, it was death, wasn't it?"

Didn't you study destiny? Such a sudden leap makes me, who could only carry a sword to fight back, feel utterly helpless. Is destiny really this unfair?

Yes, fate often seems to be quite unfair.

wrong……

"You used your power?"

Norns frowned.

This is the most likely guess, but it doesn't make much sense.

Broken Omniscience and Omnipotence—that was the name of the power Orpheus received in the previous world.

No matter how awesome something is, once you add "damaged" to its name, it's possible for it to be nerfed in any way.

The Star Cup in this world is said to be omniscient and omnipotent, capable of rewriting the laws of the universe. If it is damaged, it may still be close to omniscient and omnipotent, but it may also be unable to be used even for drinking.

The damage to Orpheus is what makes this omniscient and omnipotent being neither omniscient nor omnipotent.

It integrates all the knowledge and concepts from the source, and allows Orpheus to understand other concepts, but before that, it cannot use concepts that Orpheus cannot understand.

Simply put, Orpheus couldn't extract anything from this power that she couldn't understand, even if that thing was inside.

It's like knowing something exists on a computer, but if you don't even know the specific information about that thing, it's almost impossible to find it without using any search function, especially when that computer stores information about the entire root source.

Only when Orpheus uses Word of Power will his powers match the corresponding abilities, and even then, they may not be entirely satisfactory.

But just now, Orpheus clearly didn't use any words of power.

On the contrary, Norns felt a very obvious fluctuation in fate.

The dragon goddess girl yawned and slowly walked back. After hearing Norns' question, she first shook her head and then nodded.
