The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Orpheus was looking for a world like the latter.

Although the number is very small in terms of probability, with her current level, she can find it as long as she puts her mind to it.

I just don't know if the time spent is worthwhile.

Even the barrier she set up couldn't extend her current time to infinity; the dragon goddess girl had to carefully calculate every minute and second.

She even neglected the nest she had painstakingly prepared.

Even now, as they ponder, the power of the Star Cup and the dragon spirits capable of traversing worlds are constantly scanning their surroundings.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to make any progress at this level.

Even Orpheus felt somewhat helpless.

When will she ever regain her tranquility...?

In addition...

The dragon girl's gaze swept over Norns beside her once more.

The primordial dragon, the first predecessor who passed on his legacy to her, the strange-behaving Red back then, and... Norns now too.

Each of them had their own agenda.

Moreover, Orpheus always had a feeling that he couldn't let these things go unchecked.

Even so, she simply didn't have the energy to investigate those things.

Seeing Orpheus deep in thought, Norns could only sigh.

She also found it difficult to offer any help.

The order described by the dragon goddess girl was truly vastly different from what she had imagined.

However, her impression of the other person was definitely not wrong.

After all, seeing is believing, and in the future, she would almost certainly die at the hands of that person...

There was no chat, no announcements, no five thousand years of history.

This treatment is incredibly miserable in comparison.

So, why is there a difference...?

Just then, a dark fragment in Norns' right hand, which he had been carrying behind his back, emitted a faint glow.

"Well……"

The blonde girl was taken aback for a moment, then looked hesitantly at the dragon goddess girl in front of her, who was still focused on thinking and completely unaware of the strange phenomenon.

Finally, she took a deep breath and spoke.

"By the way, I've found a world that suits me."

"Ugh?"

Orpheus was taken aback.

"It's a rather special place, perhaps a world that was created?"

Norns ignored the other person's reaction and tilted his head to speak, following the information he had just received.

"It's called a miniature garden, how about we go check it out?"

Chapter 441 Dawn

"You're kidding..."

A giant man, over two meters tall, stared wide-eyed and took several steps back.

"I won."

At the other end of the table in front of him, a blonde girl dressed in traditional mage robes gave a mischievous smile.

"I guessed all ten correctly! So, according to the initial bet, all ten gold coins are mine!"

"cut……"

The burly man clicked his tongue, said no more nonsense, and turned to leave.

They immediately stated the order of the ten coins, heads or tails, and asked a third party to toss them... I initially thought I'd encountered a fool or a sucker, but now it seems this miniature garden is indeed full of hidden talents.

Although I'm pretty sure the other person cheated in some way... there aren't any 'nobles' here to prove it.

He indeed didn't notice anything suspicious.

It's not that important anyway... so I guess I'll just have to accept it.

"So that's how it is. This is the Gift Game?"

The blonde girl casually toyed with the gold coin bearing the image of two goddesses, and smiled knowingly.

"Norns, do you sense anything?"

A figure shrouded in a black cloak, standing beside the blonde girl, asked a question upon seeing this.

"No, not at all."

However, the answer was quite direct.

"Although that was called a 'gift game,' it was just a regular gambling game at the end of the day... and the other party was very cooperative, so there was no coercion involved, and you couldn't feel anything at all."

At this point, Norns laughed again.

Her power is destiny, and destiny will always be on her side.

Even without using any means, anything involving an element of luck would be to her advantage.

Not to mention gambling that relies solely on luck.

This advantage is not negated by the rules here, nor does it constitute cheating.

You could say they exploited a loophole... but isn't it more like an unspoken rule?

However, this was within the initial expectations.

In summary, the 'setting' of this world is somewhat similar to the world where Orpheus obtained the Star Grail... and the rules were ultimately established by the God of Games.

Laws and rules exist, but the 'game' must supersede them.

However, this world is... considerably more 'violent'.

At least the game rules are set so that if I kill you, I win; if you kill me, you win... that's perfectly fine.

To physically kill.

The victors can also demand spoils from the losers.

But at a deeper level...

"If we want to really figure out the mechanism behind it, we have to choose a very close 'gift' and deliberately send it out... That's a bit too much of a price to pay."

Both Orpheus and Norns possessed a multitude of miscellaneous treasures, but the ones they truly kept close to their bodies were actually only a few.

It's either the most essential part or something with great commemorative value.

Although it's not impossible to win it back...

It's not worth taking that kind of risk.

"What should I do..."

As he stirred his drink, Norns smiled with interest.

Orpheus sighed.

"There's no rush to figure out the operating rules or anything like that."

"Indeed, it's important, but there's plenty of time later... What we should be thinking about now is what to do next, right? So, according to the rules here, shouldn't we choose a community to join?"

Everyone must belong to a community... This is the rule of this world.

"Compared to this..."

However, the Dragon Goddess didn't seem to care much about this issue.

She now focuses almost all her attention on one thing.

"Is this world of any help to me?"

Norns paused.

To be honest, she didn't know either...

Although I came here following that person's instructions...

—The other party is not lying.

At least there was no record of lying, so even if it was highly likely that those who had been deceived by the other party had been silenced, Norns could only force himself to believe it.

—This world must hold clues that could make Orpheus stronger, strong enough to challenge the order.

However, she couldn't say it directly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain how she knew... Unlike before, this kind of direct information couldn't be easily fooled.

and……

"The world is full of possibilities, that is indeed true."

Norns spoke seriously.

"The strong have the opportunity to become stronger, and the weak also have the opportunity to defeat the strong."

Danger and opportunity coexist... that's the idea.

"If we think in this direction... there should definitely be something that can help you, right? Probably?"

In the end, even Norns lost his confidence.

In fact, no one doubted that this world was helping Orpheus.

At the very least, it will definitely allow her to take another step forward. Not to mention anything else, the so-called 'solar sovereignty' that they had just heard about had already piqued their interest.

But their effects are quite limited.

...If this had happened in the past, even such progress would have been quite remarkable.
