The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

This is something that even if they were given thirty years, let alone thirty days, they couldn't change.

This world is inherently unsuitable for human survival unless a means of energy use that can be developed quickly enough to rival the elves is introduced, or the laws of this world are completely altered.

Of course, turning humans into non-humans is also a method.

But none of these things can be accomplished by human power in just a few decades.

Even if this boy named Rick conjured the Star Cup from who-knows-where, it's impossible.

Because humans simply cannot withstand the power overflowing from the Star Cup, nor can they absorb the knowledge bestowed upon it, let alone control it.

Perhaps he could try to unite with other divine species?

Orpheus shook his head and smiled.

How did she suddenly become the one helping the other person think about how to save humanity?

In any case, if she wants to wipe out humanity, then humanity cannot survive.

Even if Artesius were to take action personally, it would be the same.

This race is too fragile; they cannot even withstand the aftershocks.

But what if... just what if... what if this boy really had a way to gather... or rather, to incite other races, including Altshu, to fight her in this place where humans live?

That could indeed cause her trouble.

But... can this person really do such a thing?

Seeing the boy's determined expression, the dragon goddess girl withdrew her right hand, which had been tapping the table, and sighed softly.

If this person had served her back then, would Babylon's fate have been better?

Humans... are indeed very interesting.

It's a pity it's too weak.

Orpheus stood up.

"You should have heard it too, I'm about to go to war with Artesius."

Without any intention of continuing the terrifying topic she had just raised, the dragon goddess girl slowly walked towards the entrance of the human settlement.

"By then, it won't be safe here."

"Oh?"

Rick laughed with a hint of sarcasm.

"So, is there anywhere in this world that is safe?"

"……indeed."

Orpheus stopped and turned his head slightly.

"By then, the entire planet... even the entire solar system will not be safe."

Even now, she still doesn't have absolute confidence in being able to defeat Altshu.

She was certain she wouldn't lose, but she wasn't absolutely confident she could win.

Not to mention ensuring the safety of the planet while achieving victory.

If a real battle were to break out, the chances of this planet being destroyed would still be very high.

Orpheus was able to save the Skywing race because at least they wouldn't be crushed into dust by the slightest tremor, nor would they suffocate from lack of oxygen.

As for humans...

Honestly, it's very troublesome.

Orpheus looked at Rick, wanting to see how this usually composed boy would react.

However, the boy still maintained a cold expression.

"If humanity needs shelter..."

As he said this, Orpheus shook his head again.

The situation is different now than it was 20,000 years ago. Orpheus is stronger now, and has received far less attention because he has been dormant for 20,000 years. Moreover, the final battle is approaching. Protecting humanity during this period is still very difficult, but not entirely impossible.

However, when the real battle comes, there is still no guarantee that they will survive the aftermath of the battle that may sweep the globe... On the contrary, keeping them away from the Skywings and Orpheus, who will inevitably become the center of the battle, would also give them a chance to survive.

In short, Orpheus could not be sure whether protecting humans was saving them or harming them.

Therefore, it is up to humans to make the choice.

"May I ask...why?"

Rick narrowed his eyes and asked.

For 20,000 years, let alone gods, few other races have ever given humans a second glance.

The few who looked at them directly did so with hungry eyes fixed on food.

He couldn't understand why a deity would suddenly appear today and offer him 'protection'.

"The reason..."

The dragon goddess girl's eyes were momentarily misty.

"There was originally some connection between me and you humans... but besides that, I have indeed seen some possibilities in you."

"possibility?"

Rick slightly raised his gaze and met the silver eyes of the goddess girl, which seemed to see through everything.

"Who knows?"

However, Orpheus only gave such a superficial answer.

She really didn't know.

Although it possesses supposedly omniscient and omnipotent powers, they are merely 'damaged'.

She could sense that this human named 'Rick' possessed some kind of potential, but she couldn't see the true nature of that potential.

Moreover, whatever abilities these humans possess, they have little to do with Orpheus.

Since they lacked power, they relied solely on their wisdom.

But for Orpheus... there's no time to think about so many schemes and plots; if you're going to fight, just go for it.

In any case, at least after Orpheus left this world, this boy with potential can lead humanity to continue on its path.

Therefore, regardless of humanity's decision, the Dragon Goddess is determined to ensure Riku's survival.

She might not be able to save the clan, but saving one person would be easy... Saving one more to continue the family line wouldn't be a problem either.

Orpheus looked at the boy, awaiting his answer.

Rick clenched his fists.

He couldn't predict how much damage the clash between the two divine species would cause to this already crumbling world.

But that's absolutely beyond what humans can withstand.

The wisest course of action at this time would be to accept the other party's help, discuss a way to help humanity safely overcome the crisis, and at least leave behind a spark for humanity.

but……

"...Give me some time to think about it."

For a proud and powerful individual, this would undoubtedly be considered a disrespectful act. They would be more than willing to burn humanity to the ground, let alone continue to assist them.

However, the Dragon Goddess wouldn't care about such things anyway.

Whether or not humans give an answer is not important; in the end, their own fate is their own responsibility.

Orpheus only needed to get Rick and the other woman to safety before that was done.

So she just blinked.

"I can't be sure of the final deadline either, and I won't come back to ask again when the time comes."

"I understand, I will get back to you as soon as possible."

Rick responded quickly.

As for how to contact Orpheus at that time... that's a question he should think about himself.

The dragon goddess girl nodded.

"Let's go, Jibril."

After giving a greeting, Orpheus started walking towards the exit again.

"Yes Yes!"

The Skywing girl, who had remained silent until now, followed with a bright smile, but before leaving, she narrowed her amber eyes and glanced at the group of humans.

What flickered within it was an unparalleled killing intent.

A group of humans, unable to join the conversation and completely clueless about the situation, watched as two petite yet terrifyingly powerful figures disappeared from sight.

Rick's fists remained clenched tightly.

Chapter 290 Marrow Explosion

“Ric…”

Once the dragon girl had completely disappeared, Shubi, who had remained silent, tugged at the human boy's sleeve with some concern.

"...I'm fine."

Although he said that, Rick still rubbed his head in a bit of a daze.

"Hey, Shubi."

The cyborg girl looked up and saw the boy's extremely serious expression.

"Can you tell me the identity of that person... about Altshu... and... the reason and purpose of this war?"

"..."

Hughie's thought process is somewhat illogical.
