The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"It would be better if this dream lasted a little longer."

Chapter 276 Sleepwalking

"Sleepwalking..."

Standing in the central courtyard of the rooftop garden, Norns had a complicated expression on his face.

It was only at this moment that she thought of this 'strange phenomenon' that might occur when a dragon molts... or rather, during any period of slumber.

Most of the time, sleepwalking is just one's own sleepwalking, where an unconscious mind wanders out and does some strange things that one wouldn't normally do.

But in extremely rare circumstances, it's possible to communicate with a being that is highly connected to oneself, and then...

No one really knows exactly what will happen, and the situation is different every time.

This could be a crisis for the sleepwalker, or it could be a great opportunity. Whether it brings fortune or misfortune depends entirely on luck, character, and the character of the other party.

The underlying principles are completely unknown, or perhaps some elders of the dragon race know them, but no dragon would tell outsiders.

Norns wasn't entirely sure, but this was indeed the most likely situation Orpheus was in now.

As for that girl... she's probably the legendary 'Number One', right?

Because the future woman went to such extremes, Norns couldn't recall her name for the time being.

Although she knew very little about the situation of that Number One at the time, and her memories from the future were only fragmented, there was only one thing she was certain of—

She cannot be reincarnated.

There won't even be any backup plans left, whether it's resurrection or inheritance.

Even in an almost infinite world, that would be considered one of the most vicious methods of murder.

The being that is erased from the realm of fate will leave no trace of its existence in this world, except for the most powerful beings who can still remember it.

—Whether in the past or the future.

Even now, being communicated by sleepwalkers is still incredibly unbelievable to Norns.

Because this person doesn't exist in the past or future, it should theoretically be impossible, but it is the most likely answer in the present.

After all, none of those who know the principles can actually do it, except for the principle of 'sleepwalking communication,' which Norns does not know.

The final outcome of this matter is unpredictable.

Her future—perhaps Qi could, but not her.

Yes, perhaps Qi could.

Norns let out a long sigh.

"Seriously, I'd have to risk everything for that guy..."

……

……

This planet originally consisted of only one large primordial continent, but after a great battle in mythology, it was divided into the continents of Lucia and Ariaena.

For the past 20,000 years, the two continents have been difficult to connect due to the traces left by the mythical war. Even the Skywing race could hardly cross them with their physical bodies. Only in the last few thousand years has this situation gradually eased. In the last hundred years, it has weakened to the point that even 'living' races have a high chance of safely crossing if they take adequate precautions.

Between the two continents, Ariaena became the primary battlefield for the most warlike War Gods, the Winged Race, engaging in multi-faceted battles with the Giant Race, the Fantasy Race, the Dragon Spirit Race, and even the God Race.

The Forest Elves and Goblins, also primarily warlike races, eventually couldn't bear being constantly swept up in the aftermath of the Skywing race's battles. After spending hundreds of years preparing, they moved their entire races to the other side of the Lucia continent via spatial teleportation.

On one side, gods are fighting; on the other, noobs are pecking at each other.

In reality, the chickens couldn't even manage to peck at each other.

The Forest Elves and Goblins originally planned to deal with their troublesome nemesis first before slowly dealing with the Skywings.

But there is always a gap between ideals and reality.

The continent of Lucia does not have the War God Sidewing race, but it does have the Dragon God Sidewing race.

Moreover, the Dragon God Side Winged Species has a very strange setting.

They prohibit any excessive acts of war.

They don't care about minor skirmishes, but they'll show up when there's a large-scale war.

Then the two arch-rival races would have to spend a hundred years recovering.

If it were just the Skywing race, the two races could still come up with some solutions by joining forces.

But the other party directly joined forces with the Dragon Spirit...

It is still the strongest final dragon side-follower dragon.

Forest Elf + Goblin vs. Skywing + Dragon Elf.

It seems like no matter what stance you use, the result will be the same.

In other words, the two races that had been fighting for centuries had almost no chance to have a proper battle in the past 20,000 years and could only keep to themselves and develop.

Therefore, compared to Ariaena, the development of Lucia is relatively harmonious, with the biggest threat usually being the troublesome Yanlong.

This also makes it slightly easier for a race that originally had to barely survive in the cracks to survive.

—But it's only gone from impossible to almost impossible.

The individual üc207Pr4f5t9 cannot understand.

The girl of the Mech race gazed at the incredibly secluded cave in the distance from several kilometers away.

It is said to be secret, but only in terms of visual observation.

Many races could easily discover this place if they wanted to.

It's completely unsafe, or rather, there's nowhere that's safe for them.

Unable to resolve.

How has a race without any power survived to this day?

—Analysis and judgment: After eliminating all known possibilities, identify the only possible answer.

This race, being machine-type beings, has one thing they cannot understand about those creatures who call themselves human but have no power.

That thing called the heart.

This is very likely the reason why this race has been able to survive to this day.

[In summary, individual üc207Pr4f5t9 requests the first command body of the ü-connected entity to perform analysis of the 'heart'.]

【üc207Pr4f5t9, Your analysis contains a great deal of unconfirmed information and lacks absolute evidence. This machine has not found anything commendable in the race that calls itself 'human'. The proposal is rejected.】

[A second application regarding the interpretation of 'heart'.]

The connection from the other end generally fell silent.

This is an abnormal situation.

The machine species are highly similar among individuals, and their goals are all exactly the same, so there is almost no situation where their thinking differs.

But now, üc207Pr4f5t9 seems unusually fixated on something that most machine species don't even know if it exists.

And the reason for this situation is...

—Perhaps the thing called the heart is indeed worth analyzing.

Having made this judgment, the first command of the U-connection issued another message.

[By approval of your request, you are temporarily permitted to remain near the race that calls itself 'human' to conduct analysis of the 'heart'. You are required to produce results within three years; otherwise, the analysis of the 'heart' will be deemed unnecessary, and you will be required to return to your unit immediately.]

Upon receiving the command, the cold, inorganic eyes of the mecha girl, codenamed üc207Pr4f5t9, flashed with the light of information.

【Acknowledge. 】

Then, respond without any emotion.

Chapter 277 The Mysterious Inner World

Orpheus sat on the edge of a high wall, swinging his legs, gazing absently at the scene before him.

That was a scene that could never have happened in that war-torn world.

In the well-planned city, powerless humans, left to be slaughtered at will, come and go, their faces bearing happy smiles.

In the sky, there was a huge aerial garden, and countless 'angels' could be vaguely seen flying around it.

At an even higher position, a giant ouroboros symbol hangs high in the sky, replacing the sun and emitting a bright but not dazzling light.

But outside the city lies a desolate desert, and further out lies a silent, dark void.

An endless void.

"I am bored……"

Then, these words escaped from the Dragon Goddess's mouth.

This statement would likely surprise anyone who knows even a little about Orpheus—even though the Dragon Goddess has been observing this endless, seemingly unchanging scene for over 20,000 years.

The Orpheus they knew could be observed for 200 million years, or even 200 billion years.

She is almost incapable of having any boring thoughts; she could even daydream forever.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that this undisturbed environment allows her to thrive even more.

But at this moment, a genuine look of weariness appeared on her face.

This is her inner world.

Here, with enough willpower, she can almost achieve anything she desires.

But similarly, the woman who appears here is more inclined towards sentimentality.

Orpheus used to think that the feeling of 'boredom' was unnecessary, but now he doesn't feel that way at all.

She could also create a 'fake reality' in this world, which would feel like a game of rock-paper-scissors, but at least it would be more interesting.

However, it's too troublesome...

For the dragon goddess girl, trouble is more frightening than boredom.
