The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Orpheus recounted every person he had ever met in Uruk, but he could not find any who possessed the qualifications and potential to defeat the dragon-serpent.

wrong……

Orpheus realized that his thinking had fallen into a misconception.

The real crisis has always been the hidden speculation that the existence of a 'creator god' is the one behind it all, rather than the three gods in front of us.

Although the final destruction that was glimpsed at that time could not be clearly seen, it was precisely because of this that it could be basically determined that it was caused by the Creator God.

For some inexplicable reason, news about Ishtar started me thinking about how to deal with those 'snakes'... If there really are only those three gods, then Orpheus alone could handle this problem.

What she needed to think about was not how to deal with the three minor deities, but how to cope with that crisis.

This is so troublesome...

Orpheus was unusually agitated.

If only we could glimpse our destiny more easily.

The moment that thought crossed her mind, countless fragmented scenes appeared before her eyes.

"..."

Orpheus discovered that by trying to simulate the wavelength she felt when she first came into contact with it, she could actually use that strange power to some extent.

After a period of silence, Orpheus once again sorted through the fragments of the future he had obtained, trying to bring together the countless branching threads and arrive at the best result.

Following his initial feeling, Orpheus used the destiny he had just detected as a blueprint to try to predict the future.

We can't defeat the three gods in front of us too quickly... Just like defeating a mini-boss will spawn a big boss, if these three gods fail, there's a high chance they'll summon the being behind them.

At that time, Uruk will perish...

However, if the monsters are allowed to attack endlessly, Uruk will eventually run out of resources and life.

No matter what route is taken or what kind of deduction is made, Uruk's fate will at most disappear at that same point in time, without a second's difference.

The way to break the deadlock...

If enough power could be united... perhaps... it's possible...

Orpheus's little mind was racing.

However, no matter how they reasoned, they couldn't find a way to break the deadlock.

No… if there were any ways to create opportunities, Orpheus could think of some… but there weren’t enough people to implement them.

She does have many outstanding subordinates, some of whom are even capable of exchanging blows with the goddess or even defeating gods who do not use their powers (Altila: ???), but... they all seem to lack certain qualities.

There was no way to meet her expectations.

This is truly... a desperate situation.

Even though he couldn't find a future that could be broken through, Orpheus still didn't give up and continued to deduce the future.

To say it's a sudden burst of persistence or willpower is perhaps not quite accurate.

It was just an experiment.

Originally, it was only because Enkidu said that Orpheus should love what she loved that Orpheus followed Enkidu's idea and protected humanity from the catastrophe according to Enkidu's idea of ​​loving humanity... However, in reality, this was just a job that Orpheus was supposed to do, and a job that was bound to fail. If it succeeded miraculously, that would be great, but if it failed, that would be perfectly normal.

The original Orpheus never demanded anything from this destined tragic outcome; she simply carried out what she was supposed to do, like a machine.

However, Orpheus could not understand why, seeing that in Uruk, including the soldiers who should have been on the front lines facing danger, as well as the most ordinary people, they were persisting in their resistance...

Perhaps wanting to understand their thoughts through this method, or perhaps not wanting to be inferior to the human race, in any case, Orpheus began to seriously give it a try.

Is Uruk truly destined to perish at that point in time?

Half a month, ten days, one day, or even just an hour or a minute.

Orpheus wanted to see if he could resist the tide of fate.

Chapter 39 Enkidu?

"Hidari, let's go back."

Unable to think of a good way to implement it for the time being, Orpheus had no choice but to put these matters aside for the time being and turn to call for Siduri.

"Hidari?"

However, Orpheus then noticed that Siduri's attention had shifted, and he was whispering to a newly appeared messenger.

Meanwhile, Orpheus also noticed that the two of them were glancing at him strangely from time to time.

The messenger seemed uneasy, and Hiduri also appeared somewhat doubtful.

Is this news really confirmed? Can you afford the consequences if something goes wrong?

"This... this is what the scouts reported from ahead..."

"what happened?"

“That…Wang…”

Upon seeing Orpheus approach, a hint of panic flashed across their faces. They knelt before Orpheus, exchanged a glance, and then Siduri spoke.

"Please speak freely about what's on your mind."

"It's...it's a battle report about the city-states that were destroyed before. We've obtained information about someone who appears to be the enemy commander...However...I urge Your Majesty to remain calm after hearing this information...This is not entirely confirmed...Your Majesty?"

At this moment, Siduri noticed that Orpheus's gaze had somehow returned to the battlefield, completely ignoring her words.

────────────────────────────────

Thousands of Uruk warriors formed a shield wall on the plains, never retreating an inch despite countless waves of monsters.

While the strength of Uruk's soldiers was certainly a factor, and the support of Saber Artira and Archer Arjuna also relieved a great deal of pressure on them, there were other, more important reasons.

That angelic girl who always stood at the forefront and never retreated.

And the Uruk flag that she always held high and waved.

The soldiers under that banner were miraculously never harmed in the slightest by the monsters.

Perhaps inspired by the girl's efforts and purity, or perhaps because they didn't want to lose to a girl while they were men, the morale of the Uruk soldiers was raised to its highest point.

At this moment, Joan of Arc was still waving her flagpole to kill the monsters that appeared around her.

Unlike her two other Servant companions who constantly unleashed their Noble Phantasms to clear the field, Jeanne d'Arc did not use any Noble Phantasms that would allow her to survive the large-scale damage.

She was just a village girl, not a great hero, so she could only do her best to do what she could.

So all she could do was wave the flag at the front lines.

However, at this moment she sensed that something was wrong.

God is warning her!

Something incredibly powerful is about to appear!

Following the direction the revelation told her, Joan of Arc looked up.

A golden light flickered faintly behind the horde of monsters.

"My banners—",

Without hesitation, she sprinted forward, unfurling the flag in her hand.

"—Protect my fellow countrymen!"

As Joan of Arc spoke, golden light emanated from her.

Just then, the golden light behind the monster also shone brightly and shot towards Joan of Arc.

By this time, Joan of Arc was able to see the true form of the light.

It was a golden spear.

If it were just a boring gun made of gold, Joan of Arc would naturally not care, but she could feel a terrifying power flowing from that spear!

Gritting her teeth, Joan of Arc slammed the flagpole she was holding to the ground.

Compared to the exquisite longsword at her waist, whose purpose was unclear—whether it was for decoration or something else—Joan of Arc was more concerned with the flag she carried on the battlefield.

This flag represents Joan of Arc's will and glory. She waved the flag on the battlefield and won countless victories until the very end, which elevated the flag into her Noble Phantasm.

Its name────

"My God is here!" (Luminosite Eternelle)

The moment the words were spoken, a golden beam of light burst forth from the flagpole.

The golden spear charged forward at lightning speed, turning any monsters that stood in its way or were swept by its golden light into dust, before landing directly on Joan of Arc's holy banner.

A violent aftershock erupted, crushing countless magical beasts once again.

Fortunately, Joan of Arc had moved away from the army in Uruk beforehand; otherwise, the losses would have been incalculable.

"What exactly is going on..."

Joan of Arc frowned as she looked at the spear she had so desperately blocked in front of her.

At this moment, the spear seemed to realize that it could not break through the defense for the time being. Its momentum disappeared, and then it turned into golden light before Joan of Arc's eyes, and slowly transformed into the shape of a human.

Before Joan of Arc could even process her surprise at the sight, she felt the warning of the 'revelation' and instantly leaped back several steps. At the same time, countless chains shot out from the ground and all wrapped around Joan of Arc.

Having already escaped the most dangerous position, Joan of Arc easily waved her holy banner to deflect all the chains. However, the chains transformed into dozens of weapons in mid-air and fell towards Joan of Arc once again.

Faced with such a dense offensive, Joan of Arc had no choice but to wave her holy banner again as she retreated.

"So that's how it is. This is what they call the combat power of a 'Servant'? Indeed, it is slightly stronger than those ordinary 'failures'... but as a weapon, it's just an old-fashioned one."

Who are you?

The golden light that had been wrapped around the human figure had dissipated by then, and Joan of Arc looked over with a solemn expression.

It was a 'girl' with long green hair and wearing a simple white robe. She had an appearance that could be described as beautiful, but the evil smile on her face completely dispelled the holy aura that her body originally possessed.

"Enkidu...my lord?"

"Is that Lord Enkidu?"

"Didn't Lord Enkidu disappear?"

"She just attacked us, didn't she?"
