The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Although its owner never made such a request, the people who originally renovated the palace still completed it in this way.

As a form of reverence for an entity that is both King and God.

However, at this moment, the throne, which was far too large for its master, was completely empty.

The girl, who should have been sitting in her seat, was now quietly sitting to the side, fiddling with a strange object in her hand.

"Lord Dragon God."

The old man stopped and bowed in respect.

The entire hall fell silent after the old man's footsteps and words disappeared.

A long silence.

The petite girl was still studying what she was holding.

The old man remained bowed, also silent.

Even though he couldn't look the other person in the eye, the old man still keenly noticed the weariness emanating from the girl.

...This was an emotion he had once felt in another god.

God of War, Artesius.

After the Star Cup War ended, the newly born planet returned to peace.

The old man didn't know if this was his king—or if it was the vision that the dragon Harlephdi had hoped for.

Or rather, that king was hoping for a higher possibility.

The old man didn't know and had no way of judging.

Therefore, after the old man learned that Orpheus was about to leave this world, he chose to follow him.

Since you don't know, then go and see for yourself.

Is witnessing those new possibilities the direction that the dragon ultimately desires?

But what if this newly allied dragon god follows the same path as the god of war...?

But the old man quickly dismissed such thoughts.

He didn't know much about Orpheus, but he still had some basic understanding of him.

No matter how Orpheus changes, he can never become Artesius.

The reason is very simple.

Arthas's way of life was too exhausting for Orpheus.

But if that's the case, the old man couldn't understand where this weariness came from.

Although we revere the dragon, now that we acknowledge it as a dragon god, we should naturally serve it as such.

Sharing God's burdens is also the duty of family members.

Although some members of the tribe went too far.

"Why did you take action without permission?"

After a long while, Orpheus finally raised his head.

The expected problem made the old man sigh.

"terribly sorry……"

I want to know the reason.

The old man could not discern the dragon god's emotions in his words.

It's even quite possible that this statement was simply a question, devoid of any emotion other than curiosity.

The old man sighed again.

"The people of our tribe have been cooped up for far too long."

Knowing there was no point in hiding it, the old man spoke the truth.

"If it were in a normal state, it wouldn't matter if it lasted for tens of thousands of years, let alone a thousand. But if it were to maintain this humanoid form..."

Dragon spirits do not actually possess the skill of 'humanization'.

The current state is purely a product of magic, not an instinct like that of Orpheus.

Therefore, it's natural to feel quite uncomfortable and restricted.

Rather, the fact that they could achieve this level of skill is enough to praise the magic and wisdom of the dragon spirits.

The dragon goddess girl nodded in understanding.

Even disregarding the issue of restraint, humans are not a species worth considering in the eyes of dragon spirits, so maintaining this form is quite strange.

Thinking this, Orpheus continued to fiddle with the strange board in his hand.

"Come in too."

Seeing that Orpheus showed no sign of saying anything more, the old man shook his head and spoke to the outside.

"..."

A young girl with a resolute and stubborn face slowly walked in and bowed to Orpheus as well.

The dragon goddess glanced at the beautiful girl.

The humanization magic of dragon spirits isn't something that can be changed at will; its principle is mainly to project the image of a dragon in the eyes of other dragons into the image of a human.

In other words, this dragon is also a beautiful woman among dragons.

Well, actually Orpheus could tell, after all, she was a dragon herself.

It's more accurate to say that for Orpheus, recognizing dragons was simpler than recognizing humans.

And indeed, maintaining a human form all the time feels somewhat incongruous.

Although Orpheus always appears in human form, she sleeps in dragon form.

In addition, she sleeps more than she is awake.

"terribly sorry."

Although the girl seemed somewhat resentful, she behaved quite obediently.

To be honest, Orpheus didn't care much. Although he had told the dragon spirits not to act for the time being, that was just an order from more than two thousand years ago that he forgot to cancel.

These are not important either.

"Do you think it's necessary to take action against that person outside?"

Orpheus spoke softly.

The girl paused for a moment, then nodded in response.

"His power is top-tier even among those called demons. Although I am confident that I can defeat him in battle, I think it would be dangerous if such a force were lurking nearby."

"Yeah."

The dragon goddess girl nodded, her eyes flickering slightly.

Norns, who was monitoring security nearby, was more interested in what she was doing and didn't notice which fly had just been chased away.

And the result of looking back at the past—

"I see..."

This time, Orpheus looked directly at the girl.

"Well done."

"Ugh?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and at that moment Orpheus stood up.

"From now on, the dragon spirits are free to act as they please. Whether you want to make a name for yourself in this world, live in seclusion in the mountains, or hunt down demons like those just now, it's up to you. Just make sure to maintain the security around here."

"???"

The old man and the young girl were both puzzled.

This development is somewhat perplexing to Long.

However, the dragon goddess girl showed no intention of answering and instead sat back down on the ground.

It conveyed a strong sense of farewell.

The old man and the young girl exchanged a glance and then left.

"...That's interesting."

The soft voice only echoed within the temple after the two disappeared.

"An existence that desires to seize the power of this body, an existence that plots to suppress, an existence that maintains order."

The dragon goddess girl casually tossed the board in her hand aside.

On the board, a complete image of a chessboard is appearing.

"A race focused on survival, a shadow that rejects change, a fool who dares to challenge the gods with his human body, a rising star with the potential to change the fate of dragons..."

The dragon goddess girl murmured to herself, her words encompassing the past, present, and future.

Right now, the demon has only just grasped the basic form of the chess piece.

This is just the beginning.

"So, what if we disrupted all of this destiny from the very beginning?"

Frankly, this would mess up Orpheus's plans and add unnecessary variables.

However, doing so is very helpful in increasing one's ability to determine destiny.

Of course, most importantly...

"It would seem like it would be quite interesting to do that."

The dragon goddess girl spoke softly to herself with a gentle smile on her face.

At the same time, the Tianyi network that she had been keeping was also connected.
