The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"Hahahaha, this is really interesting. Let her in."

The divine will from the Lord of the Skywing race has been conveyed and is beyond question.

Azriel glanced at Orpheus, who still looked confused, with mixed feelings, sighed, and silently turned back to continue leading the way.

Behind her, the dragon goddess girl slightly opened her half-closed eyes.

"It is a weapon, but it is just a weapon..."

Because of the many overlaps with her close friend from her memories, and because she also participated in the creation process, Orpheus actually had a very high regard for the Winged Race under Altshu's command.

She certainly wouldn't be so delusional as to think she could poach the other side's Skywing race, but she at least wanted to try to stop the conflict from continuing and making unnecessary sacrifices.

After all, whether the opposing Skywing race wiped out all the Skywing race on Orpheus's side or vice versa, it would have no impact on the battle between her and Altshu.

Unfortunately, at least as long as its master is alive, a weapon will only ever be a weapon.

The dragon goddess shook her head and quickly followed Azriel, under the watchful eyes of the other winged races behind her.

The magnificent throne of the gods is now within sight.

Chapter 269 Artesius's Thoughts

"Hmm, what a rare guest. I really didn't expect you to show up here without any hostility."

The God of War, Artesius, sat in his seat with his chin resting on his hand and began to speak with great interest.

Across from him, Orpheus filled a glass and handed it to him.

"I'd really like to know where you got all this fine wine."

He took the cup, took a sip, and praised it with satisfaction, then shook his head.

More than the fine wine, he was curious about the origin of the being before him.

Orpheus did not respond to the God of War's question, but simply stared silently at the God of War's empty upper right body.

There, the energy left behind by Orpheus continues to erode the wounds, giving the God of War no chance to recover.

...That's what they say, but that's just pure energy. The God of War can solve this problem whether he breaks through with pure 'force', or like the early Orpheus, he cuts off an entire part and regenerates it, or he simply disassembles and reassembles his entire body.

After all, the trouble they caused the other side in that battle was really just a 'minor trouble'. Even though Orpheus had gotten rid of the flames that the God of War had been burning conceptually, the God of War didn't seem surprised at all, but rather took it quite for granted.

On the contrary, it is quite abnormal that Altshu is still not properly treating his wound.

"Hmm? You care about this a lot?"

The God of War smiled.

"This is the first time I've been injured since I gained a 'self,' shouldn't I let it linger a little longer and commemorate it properly?"

Orpheus was speechless.

Altshu is somewhat similar to a warrior among the gods, and the thoughts of a warrior... are often incomprehensible to ordinary people.

I originally thought that the God of War was a fellow traveler, just like me, too lazy to deal with it.

Completely unaware that his own thoughts also fell into the category of 'things that ordinary people often don't understand', Orpheus shook his head in disappointment.

"Then, tell me why you've come."

Setting down his wine glass, the God of War revealed a ferocious smile on his face.

"If you intend to continue that battle, I'd be happy to oblige."

"I'm not like you, with so much energy."

However, in the face of the God of War's enthusiasm, the Dragon God simply shook his head slightly once again.

Although she herself didn't really know why she came here, if she had to say it was just a whim—it was just something she did on a whim.

However, it is true that she also has problems to resolve with the God of War.

"Next, I will fall into a period of slumber, which may last for hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of years. I myself do not know the exact time."

So, the dragon goddess girl directly told everyone about her detailed itinerary for the next period of time.

There's no harm in revealing this. Even if we can keep it a secret for a while, the God of War, who has a mysterious obsession with her, will inevitably find out soon enough. It's better to just be honest.

"Oh?"

The God of War was stunned for a moment.

"How interesting. It seems our unfinished battle will have to be postponed again... But even so, why are you telling me all this?"

That's right, even the God of War and other gods who are still trembling with fear because of the pressure of that battle will eventually find out.

In fact, the God of War can already see the problems with Orpheus.

Orpheus's existence has always been quite unique. In the eyes of the God of War, he was a pure energy body wrapped in a consciousness.

The energy that makes up this existence... permeates the entire planet.

No, it's less about the energy that constitutes this being and more about the energy that appeared after the God of War encountered this being.

Therefore, Orpheus does not have a physical form, or rather... if Altshu is not mistaken, the energy that permeates the entire planet is a part of Orpheus's physical form.

At least the divine species have divine essence as a target, but the dragon goddess girl in front of her—the God of War—can only think of a handful of ways to kill her, and that's only when she doesn't know her very well.

The more you learn, the fewer methods you may find available.

Putting those aside for now, in the God of War's view, the consciousness enveloped by the energy body 'Ophis' seems quite hazy and is constantly stretching upwards, barely able to be held in place by the energy body, as if it were about to leave the body at any moment.

Clearly, the other party's situation is a bit strange.

Even so, Orpheus had no reason to announce this matter to the world.

Although the God of War still didn't know much about Orpheus, he could tell that this being wouldn't do anything meaningless; she must have her own purpose.

“I demand that Altshu refrain from attacking any of my Skywing race members during this period—in fact, he must not attack any creature on this planet.”

"Oh?"

The God of War had a half-smile on his face.

“I’ve suddenly realized that you seem to have an extraordinary obsession and concern for all living things on this earth—even your hostility towards me is partly due to this relationship, isn’t it? That’s really…quite interesting!”

The God of War, who seemed to find anything related to Orpheus 'very interesting,' once again declared his interest.

"I only want Artesius's answer."

"Then give me a reason why I must be convinced by you."

With a slam of his wine glass against the armrest of his chair, the God of War asked this question with the imposing aura of a god.

In response, Orpheus pursed his lips and gave a faint smile.

"If Artes makes a move, I'll just leave and not fight you anymore."

Artes was truly stunned by the dragon goddess's announcement.

Hahahahahaha!!!

—Then, he burst into genuine laughter.

What a childish statement! It's like saying, "If you don't do XXX, I'll do XX to you!" It makes you smile knowingly.

But in reality, the God of War really had no way to deal with his opponent.

Generally speaking, any being that depends on this world cannot escape the grasp of the God of War, even if it escapes to the other side of the universe.

The divine race can be said to be the race that is most dependent on this world.

However, the girl in front of me is different.

"I think I understand your existence now."

Although it had nothing to do with the current topic, Altshu couldn't help but sigh.

The divine species are concepts that possess their own laws and consciousness.

However, the girl in front of me was different.

She is not a concept, but rather a kind of existence centered around a concept.

As for what that 'certain existence' actually is...

The race below the Divine Race—the Fantasy Race—exists as a separate small world.

Furthermore, it is rumored that the Dragon Spirit species possesses the power to traverse even timelines.

That's really interesting.

This is a genuine, heartfelt sentiment from the God of War.

He possesses the best characteristics of the three strongest races, excluding the Elf race. Unlike other races that are the strongest, he is the strongest in the truest sense.

But that's precisely why we can't let go of the opportunity to fight them.

This is especially true after knowing that the other person can leave this world at any time.

Moreover, in the process of interacting with the other party, Altshuu also developed a desire that was completely different from his past self-exploration—so he could not let the other party leave.

However, we can't just agree to that.

Before the god of war, Orpheus nodded slightly, dozing off.

At that very moment, the God of War suddenly stood up.

At the same time, 'Divine Might' descended upon the world.

The mass of the entire universe seemed to concentrate on the right arm of the God of War at that moment.

That's right, in that instant, the right arm had been restored to its original, undamaged state.

Then, the God of War delivered a simple and unadorned punch.

The dragon goddess girl's pupils contracted slightly, and her intense drowsiness seemed to be suppressed in that instant.

That was the true might of heaven, a strike powerful enough to pierce the very core of the earth, enough to cause the world to collapse.

Even if it hits nothing, this punch is enough to turn this area into a dead zone!

Almost reflexively, Orpheus flicked the sleeve of his robe in front of her.

The next moment, the impact arrived.
