The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

She dared to challenge even the strongest one, so naturally she would not be afraid of the others who were 'equally weak'.

Are you planning to kill me?

Jibril said with a light laugh.

Since she dared to take on the challenge, she was already mentally prepared for failure, and she could accept whatever the outcome might be.

Holding the sword Ea, Orpheus tilted his head slightly.

"Your use of the 'snake' technique is very clumsy."

Jibril, who had been smiling happily, narrowed her eyes.

"It seems you are indeed quite familiar with our structure."

The matter of the 'snake' is not information that everyone within the Skywing race knows, let alone outside the Skywing race.

This guy... who exactly is he...?

"It's just releasing energy without any control... But the Skywing race doesn't actually have the 'function' to directly control that power... What exactly are you..."

Muttering to himself, Orpheus's eyes gleamed with silver light, then he frowned.

This guy seems to be a very important... casual move for Altshu. Well, although it's just a casual move, it's still very important. Even with omniscient and omnipotent abilities, he can't see anything.

With a pursed lip, Orpheus sheathed the sword of Ea.

"name?"

Although she didn't know why the other person asked that, Jibril tilted her head and happily replied:

"My name is Jibril~ We should have many more opportunities to get to know each other in the future, so please take care of me~ Of course, that's on the condition that you don't kill me~"

Orpheus ignored the rest of the nonsense and nodded.

"Then, Jibril, you will stay with me for the time being. Also..."

Then, the dragon goddess girl looked at her hand, which had just been holding the Ea sword and was now starting to become transparent, and finally turned her gaze to the boy and girl who had been watching from the sidelines.

Do you... have any food?

Chapter 285 Reunion After 20,000 Years

Rick didn't get a chance to answer the girl's strange question.

Without any warning, the sky shattered.

Rick was trembling all over and almost fell to his knees.

That was a pressure heavier than heaven and earth.

The strong mental fortitude that has sustained him to this point is meaningless. Even though his mind remains clear, he feels a deep sense of oppression in his spirit, body, and soul.

That was a tremor that came from instinct, from the difference in the level of life.

The difference between humans and gods.

The sheer force of its aura was enough to instantly shatter the barrier that had rendered Shubi helpless, and the being that shone like the sun appeared in the air without warning.

Simply standing in the sky gives one a sense of absolute oppression.

Nothing in the universe can defeat it.

Nothing in the universe can contend with it.

Holding a golden flame spear that is hotter than the sun and can even burn time, the man known as the strongest looks down on the world from his high position.

Rick was being looked down upon like that, but he couldn't even lift his head to look up at the other person.

A mere 'creature' could never hope to look directly at the strongest god with the naked eye without any preparation!

Because before your gaze can lock onto your opponent, the brilliance of that divine spear can burn away all your vision.

Even Shubi, who was next to Rick, was unable to move under this pressure as the spatial lock was broken and the spirits poured in again.

There were only two exceptions present.

"Lord Artosh?!"

A crisp sound pierced through the endless pressure as the Skywing girl called out the identity of the one who had appeared in a surprised tone.

Even Rick, who was the least informed person present, was very familiar with this name.

God of War — Artesius.

He has dominated heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years; he is the most powerful god in the world.

Why are you here?

Looking at her master, Jibril asked, her wings trembling.

Although surprised, the Skywing didn't think her master would come all the way here just for her—if that were the case, she, who had to rely on her master to fight the enemy to escape, probably wouldn't have the face to go back and see her other seniors.

In other words, the most likely target of the master this time is...

Jibril looked at another girl who was also unaffected, and her body and mind trembled.

She was destined to miss the earth-shattering battle from the myths of 20,000 years ago, so that battle held no meaning for her and was of no concern to her.

But now, even if the level might not be that high, there is still a good chance that she will be able to see the master take action personally. How could she not be excited?

Only then did Orpheus belatedly raise his head, as if realizing something was amiss.

"Althos... his reaction is really quick..."

This is a bit troublesome...

She's just a fragment now, and her part of Infinity has already been taken away. She's more like an afterimage than a fragment... She's fine against Jibril, but against Altshu... it's better to just dream about it.

However, her current condition cannot be hidden from Altshu, so he probably won't take action.

After all, not to mention that Altshu disdains to fight against someone with a much greater power difference, even if he really killed her, it would be meaningless... The energy that makes up the afterimage was originally destined to dissipate, but the mental fragments that were originally residing inside and used to guard against unexpected situations were awakened by chance.

Now that the original purpose of this fragment has been achieved, whether it disappears or not has little impact on the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Orpheus's previously tense mood relaxed again, and he returned to his usual carefree attitude.

"Are you finally awake?"

Ignoring Jibril's calls, the God of War finally spoke slowly.

"Not yet... Altshu is as impatient as ever."

"You're still as mild-mannered as ever."

In response to Orpheus's leisurely reply, Arthius, unusually, retorted with a sarcastic remark.

Orpheus slightly raised his half-closed eyelids.

Is this guy on his period today? He seems a bit irritable.

She had no idea that a few days ago, a guy who looked almost exactly like her went into Altshu's room... and then happily farted a few times before leaving.

Altshu is a war god, not a clay figure. The fact that he hasn't directly slammed a divine strike into Orpheus's face shows his good manners.

It's worth noting that the God of War was a hot-tempered guy in his early years. It was only after conquering the world that he felt lonely as a master, so he retired from the Musou game and switched to faction-building. If it were the original God of War, he wouldn't have given Orpheus so much time to prepare.

I'm afraid this solar system has already turned into cosmic dust.

Now, the God of War has become much more restrained. The initial reason was not that he had changed his personality, but that he realized that bullying weaker opponents was not a real battle.

If we're going to fight, we should fight those who are truly our enemies, and fight them to our hearts' content!

So after that, he began to think about philosophical questions like "Who am I?" Although he didn't come to any conclusions, he did become much more composed in his mindset.

After meeting Orpheus, he also gained enough patience to deal with the dragon goddess girl.

—But such patience eventually has its limits.

Artesius, the God of War, with eyes like lightning, pointed his spear, which was radiating terrifying heat, at Orpheus.

"I have waited for 20,000 years."

In just one sentence, the will of the God of War has been revealed.

"I am the God of War. With a formidable enemy before me, how can I be a god if I do not fight?"

The words proclaiming God's will directly impacted everyone's hearts.

Orpheus narrowed his eyes.

It seems that dragging it out to this extent is truly the limit.

However... her evolution is indeed almost complete.

Moreover───

"I see, I find this rather interesting..."

Compared to ten thousand years ago, Altshu has undergone some changes.

Although he couldn't see through reality, Orpheus did have that feeling.

This is quite unusual.

Races at the 'life' level are indeed blessed with unique advantages, but they also have fatal flaws.

That is their immutability.

They cannot become stronger.

This may not be entirely accurate. For them, energy can be condensed, techniques can be improved, and experience can be honed—but the most fundamental element is extremely difficult to increase.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for anything to change.

If one's strength is weak, things might change due to the intervention of a stronger person, either being modified or destroyed. But in this world, only Altshu is immune to such possibilities.

Because at least on this planet, there is no being stronger than him.

But now, Altshu has indeed changed in some way.

There is only one possibility—that this change originated from himself.

Orpheus was very interested in this.

The dragon goddess's gaze was now completely fixed on the god of war.
