The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

...Yes, it's quite oppressive.

Should I call you Great Red?

Tilting her head slightly, the dragon goddess girl forcefully ignored the gloomy atmosphere and asked a question.

"The name 'Great Red' is merely a name that people in this world have arbitrarily given it."

It was a rather cute pose, but the red-haired girl standing in front of her remained calm and composed in her response.

"Moreover, the 'Great Red' has just been separated from this world and then crushed by you."

Although her words were calm, they were not without accusations against the Dragon God Girl.

However, the Dragon Goddess's head tilted even more.

"However, the content of a dream should reflect the thoughts of the dreamer. In the dream, the dragon that is your incarnation is called 'Great Red' by the people of your dream world. Shouldn't this be your inner desire?"

"........."

The space fell into an unexpected silence.

The red-haired girl, who should have responded, still had no change in expression, but her eyes were slightly unfocused.

"The Great Red, likes to be called the Great Red and then flies around aimlessly in the vast space..."

"Just call me Red."

Seemingly to interrupt Orpheus from continuing, the red-haired girl uttered a name that sounded more like a code name than a real name.

It's more accurate to say it's a code name.

However, after saying this, the red-haired girl seemed to pause for a moment as if thinking.

Then, breaking his usual expressionless demeanor, a teasing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"However, it shouldn't be a problem if you want to call me Mother, right?"

This is the meeting between the Infinite Dragon, which should have only existed in dreams and was born in dreams, and the Dream Dragon, its creator.

Chapter 414 The Dragon's Resolve

A pillar of light shot into the sky, shaking heaven and earth.

Originating from the center of the sky, closest to the Eternal Fourth Blessing barrier, a white beam of light surged forth and was then received by the white magic that unfolded in the sky.

All of this was just for the purpose of delivering 'ammunition'.

From the white light, one could still vaguely see tiny snakes rushing into the spell formation in the sky along with the flow of energy.

One after another, a total of ten items.

The pillar of light dissipated, leaving only a huge spell mark suspended in the air.

The battlefield did not cease during this period.

Anyone with half a brain can see that the Skywing race is making a move.

If you have already proven that you are not a fool in the previous section, then you will naturally react to such an anomaly and try to stop it.

The black tentacle storm broke through the energy released after being hit by the six Heavenly Strike attacks and swept towards the nine Valkyries that were casting the spell.

The seven fireballs were also conceived from the seven heads of the beast of revelation.

The storm of darkness and fire was met with a blinding white light.

A Heavenly Strike with 100% power, a total of twelve strikes.

The next moment, a gigantic sun burst forth from the center of both sides.

Countless evil dragons and white dragons, and even some Skywing species that couldn't escape in time, were swept up in it and turned to ashes before they could even react.

However, by this time, the beam of light had already dissipated.

All preparations have been completed.

In the alternate dimension used for combat preparations in the Golden City, the blonde girl lightly flicked her fingers.

"Then let's start with the underworld."

The very next second after the order was given, another beam of light shot out.

The black-armored army standing at the position of the pillar of light was instantly burned to ashes.

Although the beam of light covered a large area, it was only about one-fifth the size of the underworld army that now covered the entire mountainside.

However, Hades, who witnessed this scene, almost broke his scepter.

This is only natural.

—The reason is that the source of the beam of light is the 'Gateway to the Underworld,' which was recently added from the ground and is currently transporting troops.

……

……

A gentle breeze blows, lifting the long hair and robes of two girls gazing at each other on the desolate plain.

“Norns has already told me about my origins, but that’s not enough to call Chi my mother.”

Ignoring the teasing of the girl who called herself 'Red', Orpheus tilted his head and spoke calmly.

As if the smile just now was an illusion, the red-haired girl's smile had also disappeared.

Then, quite naturally, she ignored the dragon girl's rebuttal and instead focused her attention on other things.

"Norns... a name I miss, even though I've met her once... It's strange that she's using that name to refer to herself now, but... it's not surprising considering she's already died once."

Although she said this, the red-haired girl's expression did not change significantly, whether she was feeling curious or coming to her own conclusion.

The gloomy feeling that lingered around me since I had just woken up showed no signs of abating.

Speaking of which, this is an ancient monster who has lived for an unknown amount of time—a survivor from the era of 'Qi'.

Just like Qi's usual wicked smile, to the other party, 'expressionless' is just something used as a mask.

The other person's inner emotions are never revealed on the surface.

...Although, after recalling the way the other person's eyes had been wandering just now, Orpheus suddenly became somewhat unsure of this.

"So what if you know? Do you want to take any action?"

The girl, who called herself Red, continued to ask questions in the same manner.

The Dragon Goddess Girl immediately responded.

"My purpose has never changed."

"Yes... I know, it's the same thing as those failures, isn't it? No, if it were just that, there would be no need for such a big fuss. What you hope for is to go further than that—"

"That's right, I want authenticity."

Orpheus extended his palm toward the red-haired girl.

"It is not an illusion existing in a dream, but a real 'silence'."

"For this, you must take my 'dream' away from me."

He took over the Dragon God's words and continued speaking expressionlessly.

"Do you know what that means? A dream is just a dream; this is the ironclad rule of order."

At least for now, dreams can only remain dreams.

Perhaps the dream will never become reality.

"I know."

Knowing this, the Dragon Goddess's answer remained calm and affirmative.

No, you don't know.

But the other party's response also held the same insistence.

“You have no idea about your father’s power. Even that Norns didn’t truly understand it. What he saw was just a vague memory that he hadn’t even experienced yet.”

Orpheus knew the identity of the father the other person spoke of, and he also knew that what the other person said was not nonsense.

If we're being honest, even Orpheus would probably have to call him father.

After all, that is the 'source' of all dragon species.

Even Orpheus was no exception.

But it is precisely because it is the 'source' that we must transcend it.

This is just the first step.

Having made up her mind, the dragon goddess girl stopped speaking and simply stared at the girl in front of her with her silver eyes.

"I refuse, no matter what."

However, the same denial still came from the other party.

"Do you know how many experiments Qi conducted in order to create true 'infinity'—to create you? Just on my side alone, the number of discarded 'dreams' has reached tens of billions, not to mention the other experiments before. You should have the corresponding memories."

Ah, indeed.

Orpheus knew it very well.

Those are the marks that were branded on me when I was just born.

Those 'experiences' that should have happened to me, the vague and tragic trajectory.

All of these are proof of a girl's repeated failures in her attempts to achieve miracles.

“I have no interest in Qi—in their doomed plans, but I will not deny that they are my friends. I will not allow you to try to destroy all their efforts.”

Whether it was a misperception or not, even though there was no expression on her face, the Dragon God Girl could still hear a hint of excitement in the other person's tone.

She could understand and agree with what the other person said.

But precisely because of this, her resolve must not waver.

The dragon goddess opened her mouth and gave a brief response.

"I am not here to ask for your permission."
