The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"The combined power of all elements results in an unknown state, the fate of this world is not even recorded."

Ignoring the whispers of the other two, Orpheus spoke softly.

"Ugh?"

Jibril, who was pressing her head down below, was stunned for a moment.

"So, even the master couldn't have predicted that outcome?"

"It's possible if it's just a possibility, but I'm more concerned about the process."

Watching the demon girl in the distance begin to integrate the chess pieces into the boy's body, the dragon goddess smiled faintly.

"If the forces of so many different systems can ultimately be successfully integrated, the process will be of considerable reference value."

"But if that power doesn't exist in the destiny of this world, then it can't be something that this world possesses, right? It's strange for someone like me, who doesn't belong to this world, to ask such a question, but—can this world allow that kind of 'alien'?"

Since it is not something that belongs to fate, then fate will naturally not allow it to exist.

Unlike Jibril and others who forcibly entered, this power had to be nurtured and born in this world.

In other words, it is easier to be blocked.

"Of course it won't be allowed."

Orpheus responded to Jibril's question with a gentle smile.

"The main reason I'm doing this is precisely because it won't be allowed."

Chapter 362 Interlude

"Gabriel, is there any situation on your end?"

During the scheduled communication with the heavens, Michael's gentle voice came from the other end.

That was a very reassuring tone.

Unfortunately, Gabriel was unable to reciprocate that gentle gesture.

"This place remains a very peaceful city, just like always."

Of course, there is no information whatsoever about the Dragon God or his retinue.

Looking at it from another angle, this isn't necessarily a bad thing; at least it means that the Dragon God's followers haven't launched a large-scale operation.

That's how it should be.

"The system reacted some time ago; an anomaly has occurred somewhere in the human realm."

Michael's next words caused Gabriel's expression to change slightly.

Cases of the system detecting anomalies are not uncommon, but what Michael specifically mentioned was definitely not a simple mutation.

"Could it be... those natural disasters... the Winged Race?"

"Considering that they would disregard all agreements and tacit understandings and appear without any scruples... indeed, the possibility of them being the Skywing race is very high, but another possibility is not nonexistent, and I think it is even higher."

Gabriel opened his mouth.

She knew the race Michael was referring to.

Because that should be the object of her surveillance.

"It was my fault."

Although it wasn't something she was capable of monitoring, the Seraph Girl still obediently bowed her head and apologized.

"No, with such an existence as your opponent, no one can force you to do anything."

Michael responded calmly.

"However, I hope you can return to the Celestial Realm."

"Ugh?"

On the other end of the communication line, which Michael could not see, Gabriel's face instantly fell.

It completely lacks the holiness and peace that it has always maintained in accordance with the terms angel and saint.

"It's not that I don't trust your abilities, but if it's that person's retinue that takes action, I think your situation is too dangerous as someone in that person's camp."

If they could actually gather some information, such a risk would be worth taking, but since they couldn't get any intelligence at all, there was absolutely no need for Gabriel to stay any longer.

Seraph Girl herself is well aware of this.

but……

"Sigh... I don't think we can draw any conclusions prematurely. I'll stay and continue gathering information. At least we need to determine whether the anomalies in the human world are related to the Dragon God."

"?"

Ignoring Michael's doubts, Gabriel cut off the communication.

Almost immediately, a similarly gentle voice came from behind.

"Xiao Jia, let's continue with yesterday's dungeon today."

"I'm coming right now!"

Gabriel responded and looked at the communication device in front of him.

"Hmm... The Dragon God's retinue..."

We'll connect to the system to locate the position and then go check it out.

"Before that... let's clear this dungeon first."

Gabriel casually plucked a black feather and skipped away from the room.

But the next second, the seraph girl stopped in her tracks, her expression turning slightly serious.

"Excuse me for a moment?"

The reason is this sudden question.

She didn't even realize when it happened.

Hidden magic?

No, rather than calling it a magic technique, it's more accurate to say that this person has already become part of nature, integrated into it.

Gabriel recognized this person, this girl in a white robe with a holy smile on her face.

When the Dragon God occasionally appears, he quietly stands guard by the side. He also usually oversees the overall situation of the city, making him a figure of extremely high status.

That is the lock that restrains the heavens and the gods, an existence called Enkidu.

……

……

"Has something happened to Gabriel?"

"It feels okay, but there's something off about it... I'm a little worried."

"...Let's investigate the anomaly first, and then head to the dragon god's territory."

"That's all we can do."

"So, where is the location?"

"The Far East seems to be the territory of demons."

"This is a bit troublesome..."

“I remember there… the Holy Sword and Fallen Angel cadres? Although it was covered by an even bigger anomaly, the original predictions shouldn’t have changed.”

"Chaos and mutations have concentrated here... Is that alright?"

Has Azazel made a move?

"It seems not, but apart from him, the fallen angels have been making quite a few underhanded moves."

"Was that cadre named Kokabier?"

"Hmm... While this matter is likely to be the fuse that ignites chaos, it may also be an opportunity to guide the three parties toward order... Moreover, with that ten-winged fallen angel paving the way, it might be possible to uncover the source of those anomalies."

"...I didn't expect you to be so cunning at times, Michael."

"In short, let's wait and see for now."

In the holy land bathed in holy light, three angels with twelve wings reached a consensus.

……

……

"Well……"

Hyoudou Kazuki awoke from his daze.

"Are you awake?"

The dignified yet pleasant voice immediately pulled the boy out of his reverie.

"Rias-senpai?!"

Staring dumbfounded at the figure sitting beside him, Hyoudou Kazuki's mind, which had just regained its senses, was thrown into chaos once again.

Ignoring the boy's astonishment, the red-haired girl wore an elegant and proud smile.

To Hyoudou Kazuki, it was a smile with a magical quality.

“My name is Rias Gremory—I am a demon.”

Then, the bright red-clad girl spoke.

"And also your master, Hyoudou Issei-kun."

……

……

"Oh, I was just wondering how such an important person could not have a crisis response mechanism, but I didn't expect them to launch an attack without warning... No, is this kind of despicable behavior the norm for demons?"

Shrugging, Jibril strolled through the dark alleyway.
