The dragon goddess girl suddenly stood up.

“The thread… between Norns and me, between Norns and another being in this world, between me and this world, between me and that being, between me and another being in a more distant place… Fate has told me all of this.”

With outstretched hands, the dragon goddess spoke as if grasping a thread in the void.

But for the other person, it was a powerful shock.

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Norns widened his eyes and turned his head.

She basically understood what Orpheus was saying.

It is precisely because we understand it that it is so hard to believe.

It was no secret to her that Orpheus could wield the power of fate; in fact, she was the one who taught him.

But as she just said, fate is not such a simple thing.

What Orpheus is saying now is completely different from what she taught Orpheus, not to mention its depth, even in terms of direction.

Or perhaps this was something she deliberately avoided in the first place.

The thread of fate...

As if he were getting to know her anew, Norns carefully examined the dragon goddess girl.

Then, her eyes widened even more.

Above the smiling girl opposite her, she saw the shadow of another person.

—The person who represents my future, yet whom I've always wanted to get rid of.

Norns gave a wry smile.

"...Is that so?"

Qi, even you can miscalculate sometimes?

With a final sigh, Norns sat down again.

Then, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"Since you seem to have a lot of free time, let's have a good chat."

Chapter 355 The Visit of the Angels

On the land of Mesopotamia, the once desolate city of Uruk has long since lost all trace of its past. Instead, thanks to the development of countless magical technologies, it has become as prosperous as a 21st-century society.

Although there are still many unfinished parts that need to be done slowly.

After all, it's impossible to expect people from ancient times to instantly accept modern life.

Those tasks also belong to Siduri; Enkidu's task of rebuilding the city has been completely completed.

Although there are other things to do, it's okay to take a break for now.

The original divine weapon was humming a song as it walked to the entrance of the Great Temple.

Then she saw two girls walking out side by side, chatting and laughing.

"Then that's settled. You can prepare it yourself."

The blonde girl waved goodbye to Orpheus.

The dragon goddess girl nodded in response with a smile.

"...Hmm, little Orpheus has made some pretty good friends too."

The green-haired weapon girl nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, she noticed that the blonde girl, who was supposed to have moved away, was walking straight towards her.

Speaking of which, although Enki didn't get to know any of the people around Orpheus well after they met again, their presence and power left a deep impression on her.

The only exception was this girl who seemed to be named Norns.

It's not that she's particularly skilled, it's just that she's strangely difficult to leave an impression.

As an enemy, it would probably be quite dangerous, wouldn't it? Compared to those creatures whose strength is immediately obvious, these lurking venomous snakes are far more dangerous.

"Excuse me... is there anything I can help you with?"

Enkidu greeted the blonde girl who was walking towards him with his usual gentle smile.

Aside from when she's facing Ishtar, Enkidu's personality is more gentle compared to other parallel universes.

"Mmm..."

"Ugh?"

Ignoring Enkidu's welcoming smile, Norns stroked his chin and looked Enkidu up and down.

While laughing awkwardly, Enkidu also took the opportunity to sized up this person he hadn't paid much attention to before.

Upon closer observation, she became even more certain that this person was no ordinary individual.

Those silver eyes seemed to see right through a person's soul.

Although Orpheus wouldn't look at her with that kind of gaze, Enkidu knew that the dragon goddess girl also had that kind of gaze.

Not just now, but even when we first met, things gradually started to develop in this direction.

"As expected, it's an unexpected existence."

Suddenly, Norns spoke up, seemingly with some excitement.

"?"

Enkidu tilted his head in confusion, but the girl in front of him showed no intention of explaining.

Norns simply stood up, patted Enkidu on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Go for it, girl! I believe in you!"

"???"

By the time Enkidu came to his senses, the blonde girl had completely disappeared.

"...What a strange person."

"indeed."

Orpheus, who had somehow found his way to his best friend's side, nodded in agreement with Enkidu's mutterings.

Although they had just had a proper talk, she still didn't really understand what was going on in that person's mind.

It's more likely that the other party themselves doesn't know the answer.

After all, being suddenly awakened after being dead for thousands of years would probably make it difficult to figure out what to do... Although Norns' situation was somewhat different, it was similar.

"What brings Enkidu here?"

"Hmm... The construction of the city walls is completely finished. Also, a few guests from outside the city have come to visit you, and I have already arranged for them to stay in the small temple."

"A guest...?"

Orpheus nodded.

So what does the arrival of guests have to do with her, the hostess?

We'll have someone deal with it when the time comes.

"What about Valkyrie?"

Then, the dragon goddess girl looked at the winged girl who had been kneeling behind her at some point.

Valkyrie glanced at Enkidu with some surprise.

I initially thought this suddenly appearing person was just a pretty face, but it seems I noticed her the moment she appeared.

At least in terms of reconnaissance, they are qualified as bodyguards...

Shaking her head to dismiss these meaningless thoughts, the Skywing girl lowered her head.

"After that, we sent out many more teams to gather intelligence, but the information about the Great Red was quite fragmented and rare, and there was not much of any reference value."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Orpheus nodded again.

Although it was described in a very understated way, the Skywing race is not a race that specializes in intelligence gathering, so the process of gathering information must have been quite brutal... compared to other forces.

However, it is true that things that the Skywing race is not good at are very difficult.

"In addition, there are some things I'm unsure whether I should report."

Valkyrie hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

The other Skywing race probably doesn't care about anything else when it comes to this kind of intelligence except for the mission objective, but the Valkyrie will still distinguish between things of importance.

Orpheus nodded.

"After that war, angels, fallen angels, and demons were all troubled about what to do next... It seems that the demons have some new ideas."

"is that so……"

Indeed, angels were created by God, and fallen angels were fallen angels. Now that God has passed away, these two races can be said to have lost their origin.

On the demon side, most of the high-ranking bloodlines in this war were killed, and the pure-blooded races were almost wiped out, resulting in a significant reduction in their combat strength.

Under such circumstances, all three parties will inevitably be eager to resolve this issue.

No... there might be some exceptions among the angels, after all, they are the group that inherited the will of the God of the Bible.

Of the three parties, only the angels would likely dedicate sufficient resources to handle matters concerning Orpheus.

Well, after all, the sense of holiness so close at hand was too striking for Orpheus to ignore.

"So……"

The dragon goddess girl, who was about to speak, stopped.

She had originally intended to find someone to casually talk to the visitors, but suddenly discovered some serious problems.

Although she has gathered quite a few followers, it seems that none of them specialize in foreign communication.
