The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Chapter 337 The New King

Orpheus fiddled with the dodecahedron in his hand.

Before the dragon goddess girl, countless chains crisscrossed, and within them, several bodies were shrouded in light, only their 'humanoid' luminous forms visible, wrapped like rice dumplings, struggling incessantly.

However, there was no sign of them being able to break free.

—Even if these 'humanoids' possess enough power to destroy the earth and annihilate civilizations, even if the weapons they create have the potential to destroy the world, even if their power has spanned the two river basins for thousands of years.

But all of this seems powerless and meaningless in the face of this chain—which, in its own right, was also created by them in destiny.

Behind them, the once magnificent golden temple, along with the surrounding space, was collapsing at an extremely rapid pace.

"The Sumerian...gods."

Orpheus, still holding the projection of the Star Cup, spoke softly.

She has truly become stronger.

The gods in this world are conceptually weaker than those in Gaia's world, but at least in terms of combat power, they are not much weaker.

Regardless of the circumstances, they are beings that are given the title of 'god'.

In the past, when Orpheus faced the gods of that world, although she was safe, she couldn't easily defeat them... Apart from the fact that she could absolutely guarantee her survival, in terms of offense, it was at most a 50/50 chance.

After all, it should be noted that the Bull of Heaven was a product of Ishtar's leniency.

If that true world-destroying weapon were to unleash its full power—turning the entire Mesopotamia into a dead zone overnight would be no difficult task at all.

Even... a single strike!

By observing only a small part of the whole picture, one can understand the so-called power of God.

Thinking of this, Orpheus glanced down.

A scantily clad goddess is holding a 'doll' that looks like both a cow and a pig, waving happily at her.

Incidentally, the gods being beaten so badly in front of Orpheus are nominally the goddess's uncles and even her father from a parallel world.

...In short, these gods, who were once quite difficult for Orpheus to deal with, were now easily defeated by the Chains of Heaven and the Sword of Ea that she controlled.

Apart from Enkidu being enhanced, the hardware is almost exactly the same as it was originally.

Now, she deals with these gods who used to require her full strength, but she only needs to play around with them.

She...has become noticeably stronger.

In that case, how do we deal with the Great Red...

Orpheus narrowed his eyes.

In short, let's gather more intelligence.

Most importantly, we must find a way to get the Great Red out of the dimensional rift and prevent it from escaping back after only a few hits.

"So, from now on, you'll respect me as your master, is that alright?"

While pondering more distant questions, the dragon goddess casually posed a question to the bound deities before her.

Although it was said to be an inquiry... there wasn't much doubt in the tone.

Dealing with these gods was a secondary option for Orpheus, since they had no real grudges against each other, and at least in this era, gods who still controlled concepts still had to exist.

If anything were to happen to them who are maintaining order, the region they control would be plunged into a disaster composed of countless 'chaos' that have gone out of control.

Orpheus can stabilize or even directly replace the duties of the gods with the projection of the Star Grail, but this will consume the Star Grail's 'computational resources'... and it's very troublesome.

All she wanted was Uruk, the city below. There was no reason for her to take on the mess left by an entire pantheon just for one city... although if this mess existed, it would have been created by her own actions.

Regardless, Orpheus's aversion to trouble remains.

"...Who exactly are you?"

Still seemingly unwilling, the god Annu, locked in the very center, gritted his teeth and asked.

"Me? I am Orpheus."

The girl was still pondering the question of the Great Red.

After all, to her now, these gods in front of her were just roadblocks she encountered on the road, something to be moved aside slightly.

However, she still answered the God King's question casually.

"Infinite Dragon God, Orpheus."

……

……

Countless citizens of Uruk lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.

The wrath of God—a torrential downpour of thunder lasted for three days and three nights, and they knelt there for three days and three nights as well.

Even if it weakens or even kills some people as a result.

In this era, people's reverence for ghosts and gods is even greater than their reverence for death.

Three days and three nights later, the thunderclouds dissipated, and the sky cleared.

Then, an even larger shadow enveloped the entire city of Uruk.

It was a huge floating city.

Above, the dragon goddess gently stroked the star cup projection in her hand.

Blue light spread out and permeated the entire city of Uruk.

Then, the Uruk civilians, who had previously dared not even look up, were surprised to find that the people around them who had been weak and collapsed, or even lifeless, were rapidly regaining their vitality.

Orpheus nodded in satisfaction.

The Star Grail cannot resurrect the dead with absolute certainty, but that is only when the dead have not even left behind their souls... and the previous Star Grail world did not actually have a mechanism for soul reincarnation... or rather, the concept of the soul was very weak and unclear.

But there are definite souls in this world.

This makes resurrection very simple.

Repair the body, seize the soul, and stuff the soul into the body.

All in one go.

Perfect, it also allows us to demonstrate our strength to the Uruk people.

This is what is known as performing 'miracles'.

However, as a certain great king once said, miracles need not be many, sometimes even just once is enough.

After all, the current Orpheus is not only the 'Infinite Dragon God'.

The girl nimbly leaped into the heart of Uruk, onto the most magnificent and colossal building—the temple.

As if sensing something, all the Uruk citizens who had been bowing their heads raised their eyes and looked up at the top of the temple.

The girl in the black robe stood there naturally.

It was as if this place had always belonged to her.

"I am the Lord of Uruk, the King of Heroes."

The girl spoke softly, yet her voice resonated in all directions.

Anyone have objections?

All the people of Uruk bowed their heads once more.

Even though these words were so ridiculous and unrealistic, when they came from the girl's mouth, they made them feel that they had no choice but to accept them as facts.

With no one responding, Uruk welcomed a new king.

Or rather, they welcomed back the king.

From this moment on, the history of this ancient city embarked on a path completely different from its destiny.

The dragon goddess girl gently cast her gaze into the distance.

The fun is over, and it's almost time to get down to business.

Will the battlefield where a war is taking place that could determine the fate of the world attract the attention of the Great Red?

The reason Orpheus sent Azriel and the others over was not only because he genuinely didn't care how much chaos they would cause on the battlefield, but also because he intended to have them as his eyes and ears.

However, it seems that there is still no trace of the Great Red.

That's normal, since the chances of him showing up are not high; it's just a possibility.

It's a major event, after all, and it's bound to attract the attention of all the powerful people in the world.

Orpheus doesn't need the Great Red to appear; as long as he senses Orpheus's gaze, he has a chance to estimate Orpheus's strength.

Narrowing her eyes, the dragon goddess girl flickered and vanished completely from her original spot.

Chapter 338 Tiamat

On a hill outside Uruk, a beautiful woman with pale blue hair calmly observes the still-simple city.

"The Heavenly Demon Dragon—Tiamat?"

Even when her identity was directly revealed, the woman remained calm and slowly turned around.

"Infinite Dragon God... Orpheus."

Then, he revealed the identity of the girl in front of him.

"..."

"..."

The two dragons stood facing each other silently, perfectly illustrating the awkward atmosphere.

"Tiamat...it's a name that's hard to bear."

The dragon goddess girl gently shook her head.

Tiamat—this was indeed the name of the woman before him, which Orpheus obtained through his 'omniscience'.
