The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Page 234

So she had no choice but to resort to such a low-level method.

This food was likely salvaged from an abandoned facility belonging to the Forest Elves, and the accompanying energy was more than enough for Orpheus to sustain himself for a period of time—provided, of course, that he didn't engage in combat.

"Well……"

While Orpheus was eating, another girl with long, bright red hair sat across the table, staring intently at the Dragon God Girl.

"Hey, Chloe..."

Standing beside the girl, Rick frowned.

Although this person seems to have a rather bland personality, it's not good to keep staring at them like this.

Who knows if the other person has any taboos or anything like that?

The other party is an existence that humans absolutely cannot afford to offend.

Now Rick just wants to feed the other person well and then get rid of this big shot.

"This... little sister... seems familiar."

However, Rick was taken aback by what the girl named Chronie suddenly said.

"Does Chlorine feel the same way?"

"That's why you call me Kron."

Klonie responded habitually, then frowned slightly.

The Skywing was still huddled in the corner, observing them with a strange look in its eyes. In this situation, it was really not in the mood for jokes.

Furthermore, considering that this girl appeared with the Skywing race, her identity is probably not simple either.

Rick didn't say... probably because he didn't want them to be under any more pressure.

In any case, there was no need to prepare for even a formidable enemy; the Skywing race alone had already left them with absolutely no room for resistance.

Klonie nodded, trying to put aside these thoughts that might cast a shadow over her mind.

"Indeed, it feels like I've seen it somewhere before."

"..."

Rick remained silent.

If it were just him, it could be an illusion, but since Kloni said so, then it must be someone they had met before.

I just can't remember it right now.

"Yes, I have also seen humans who look very similar to you."

The two looked at Orpheus, who had been eating quietly, with some surprise.

The food in front of the dragon goddess girl had been completely devoured at some point.

"It was probably more than 20,000 years ago."

"……well?"

Chloe, who had initially been expecting something, had a strange expression, but Rick seemed thoughtful.

"Let's put these aside for now..."

Rick shook his head.

"Is there anything else you need? To be honest, having your person stay here all this time is putting a lot of pressure on all of us."

Rick spoke in a calm tone, his eyes narrowed.

This is already a bit like asking them to leave.

"Oh?"

Being directly called out, Jibril also narrowed her eyes slightly.

The already tense humans became even more nervous, fearing that such words would provoke the weapon that could wipe out all of humanity with a mere wave of its hand.

Fortunately, they didn't know that this weapon had long ago decided to truly exterminate all of humanity.

"Actually, I really want to know..."

Orpheus didn't seem to care about Rick's subtle attempt to get rid of him; he just smiled knowingly.

"If I were to come and destroy humanity in thirty days, how would you react?"

These words caused a stir among the people around.

"Escape? Indulge in pleasure? Lament and then throw yourself into the underworld? Or engage in meaningless resistance?"

Hearing the hint of mockery in the girl's words, the people around her showed their resentment.

However, no one dared to speak up.

Except for one boy who is not even twenty years old.

"What, would a great figure from the divine race be interested in squeezing ants?"

Rick, a human being, scoffed in a detached tone.

Then, he casually revealed his guess about the girl's identity.

This was also the first time Rick had forced himself to confront the other person's identity.

Among the fifteen races currently identified and recognized, the Divine Race stands at the pinnacle, orchestrating and repeating wars that seem utterly meaningless—the mastermind behind them all.

Only this race is qualified to oppose that guy named Altshu, right?

Rick gave a bitter smile to himself.

God has no interest in weak beings like humans.

With that in mind, I originally planned to pretend I didn't know the other person's identity, let them wander around for a bit, and then leave. But now I don't expect I still have to take it seriously.

Upon hearing Rick's words, the room, which had been filled with some noise, fell silent instantly.

Rick is absolutely reliable, so there is no doubt about his words.

So all that's left is shock.

A divine species.

This concept is so distant from humankind that when such a being actually appears and eats a meal right in front of them, they are so astonished that they are speechless.

Unlike the Skywing species, the Divine species is so far removed from reality that it feels completely unreal.

However, the Dragon Goddess ignored everyone's surprise.

"Crushing ants is really pointless..."

Orpheus tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden dining table.

"However, observing the ants' reactions before they are crushed might be a form of entertainment that can pass the time."

"This is really..."

Rick chuckled and shook his head.

"Seriously, this is something only a high-ranking person would say. To be honest, if you're planning to destroy humanity in the next moment, then I really can't do anything about this kind of impulsive, game-like crime. But if it's dragged out for thirty days because of some big shot's twisted sense of humor..."

As he said this, the human boy curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Then, Your Majesty, you should be prepared to get bitten by an ant while you are observing it."

"—Don't underestimate humans!"

With a resolute tone, the boy made this declaration.

……

Artes has undoubtedly become weaker.

Both No. 1 and No. 2 confirmed this.

The strongest evidence is that both of them are still alive.

Although it wasn't mentioned beforehand, both of them knew that Number Two was originally very likely to be sacrificed.

Number One must ideally survive, but in order to probe Altshu's changes, it may be necessary to resort to a life-for-life combat method.

But the battle situation was never that dire.

Although Altshu didn't use his full strength, as a war god, he would definitely take the battle seriously.

Even if you add more water, you won't be able to add much more.

In this situation, the two mere fragments could barely put up a defensive fight, and when they finally left, they were still able to maintain a high level of control...

"I have some guesses..."

Despite saying that, Number One's expression was unusually serious.

Because if her idea is actually correct...

Dealing with Altshu is going to be more troublesome.

"This is really troublesome..."

Number Two sighed.

Number One nodded, rarely agreeing with Number Two's words.

"Never mind, let's finish what we need to do first."

Retrieve all the 'snakes' that were originally scattered, and recover all the knowledge collected from them.

"Next up is the Goblin race, and after that, only the Mech race will remain..."

The sound gradually faded away, and there was no one left where the two had been.
