The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

However, Orpheus's enemy now is Order.

Those few suns couldn't even flash the eyes of the primordial dragon.

Norns reached into his robes and clutched the only keepsake left by his dearest friend, who was neither a friend of the future nor a friend of the past, suppressing the urge to grit his teeth.

That person hasn't sent any new messages since then... Come to think of it, that guy couldn't have given too many hints; he's probably just enjoying the show right now.

"Based on the information we have so far..."

Orpheus spoke while keeping his eyes half-closed, his thoughts unreadable.

"Even the most powerful being in this world... is only a 'single-digit' being, so it shouldn't be able to contend with that one."

Norns was speechless.

Although there is no concrete information, this place is definitely not 'omniscient and omnipotent'.

This makes all the rules in this place called a miniature garden more stable, orderly, and balanced, but it also limits the height within it to some extent.

Even if it's a single digit, it probably only touches on a certain part of that field.

As for the Primal Dragon... as long as she is united with order, and as long as what she does does not deviate from order, she can achieve absolute omnipotence.

Of course, based on the information gathered from passersby, no one has actually seen a single digit, so it's hard to say.

But even a legendary single digit is hard to imagine as an existence outside of order.

"Ah ah ah..."

Norns grabbed his blond hair in frustration.

"In any case, single digits should be something like the laws of this world. In that case, that Demon King who is called 'the end' or 'the end'... I guess it's called the Wind of Decadence... Let's take it as our goal for now."

What kind of goal is it... to find, catch up with, or eliminate?

What happens after it's achieved? What can you do with it?

She didn't know anything about this...

Suddenly, Orpheus stood up.

"?!"

Norns watched in bewilderment as the dragon goddess girl, shrouded in a black robe, slowly walked out of the tavern.

Hey little sister, you haven't paid yet.

After quickly settling the bill, Norns chased after him.

Stepping out the gate, one is greeted by a clear sky and a bustling market.

Here, beings of different races either communicate or fight.

"As expected, Norns doesn't know anything either."

A cool but slightly amused voice reached the ears of the blonde girl who had just burst through the door.

Norns turned his head to look.

The dragon goddess girl had a faint smile on her face as she gazed at the sky.

The girl's only exposed, delicate face appeared somewhat ethereal under the sunlight.

Well... she is indeed an illusion right now.

Shaking off these jumbled thoughts, Norns understood what the other person was saying.

She recommended this world to Orpheus, but in reality, she knew nothing about it. Moreover, given the timeline, it's impossible that she explored and discovered this world before running back to Orpheus to report back.

Although she could easily explain things with mystical concepts like fate and divination... there was definitely a limit to how much she could lie to this girl.

"Thank you anyway, Norns."

"??"

The blonde girl couldn't understand what this plot twist was.

"Don't Norns think this world... this place called the Little Garden, which is connected with countless worlds, is very similar?"

"It looks like...like what?"

This time, however, Norns was unable to understand what the other party meant.

"It's very similar, like that void dominated by order."

The dragon goddess girl responded with a light laugh.

"Thank you, Norns, I've found a way to break this deadlock."

Chapter 442 Officially Knocking on the Door

In the clean and empty conference room, Orpheus and Norns opened their eyes at the same time.

They had only projected a wisp of their consciousness in to gather some information.

Given their strength, unless they were suppressed using special methods, their direct arrival at that five-figure outer sect would likely cause a certain degree of collapse.

It's not purely a matter of power, but rather the design of this world and the miniature city.

In the city of Hakoniwa, which has a total of seven-digit outer gates, the lower levels beyond five digits cannot withstand excessively powerful 'grids'... or in the terms of this world, spirit grids.

Moreover, since a miniature garden is a created world, it is almost impossible for it to be without any oversight, and there are indeed rulers.

Weaklings are fine, but for someone of Orpheus's caliber, if we don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, it's better to enter through the proper procedures first.

Otherwise, even if you could sneak in, you'd be too timid and it wouldn't be of much help.

"So, have you made up your mind?"

Norns looked at Orpheus with unusual seriousness.

The latter, unusually, nodded seriously.

"This is the world."

Norns exhaled, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

If the world doesn't offer any help, then she'll be the one to blame.

But in any case, this is probably better than running around like a headless fly, right?

No matter what, there's no turning back now.

but……

"Hmph, you seem quite confident. What are your plans?"

"No."

"..."

At times like these, I really hope you can show off a little and give me a positive answer.

But that's just their style, I guess.

Norns smiled.

Although she acted somewhat presumptuously, she did everything she could.

To be honest, she was also surprised that she had managed to do this.

Even though she was nominally Orpheus's 'owner' because of some guy who was so crazy he even harmed himself, she didn't need to work so hard without orders, even at a price she never imagined.

It should be understood that the Order never implicates unrelated people. Even the connection of fate is meaningless to that monster. If Orpheus is really killed by the Order, she will not only live well, but also regain her freedom.

No matter how you look at it, I feel stupid.

Ultimately, is the reason for this feeling, this existence, for the future, or for the past?

Even if it's just to find the answer to this question, I'm willing to give my soul for it.

Moreover, there is more than one reason for fighting.

The blonde girl quietly clutched the shard in her arms.

"Fine, no matter how reckless you are, I'll stay by your side—until the moment of destiny. So until then, don't worry about what's behind you, just do what you want."

Looking at the girl who tilted her head with a slightly puzzled expression because of her sudden words, Norns revealed a mischievous smile.

“───My master.”

Orpheus paused for a moment.

She was about to tilt her head again, but then seemed to realize something and nodded.

The next moment, both of them returned to normal, as if the strange conversation had never happened.

"Then let's begin."

"Bringing everything over? But compared to your world where you can mess around as you please, this world is on a much higher level, you know?"

—Even if those guys go there, the help they can offer is probably only at a relatively low level, and there's also the risk that even a soul connection with a familiar can't guarantee safety.

Orpheus understood Norns's subtext perfectly.

Indeed, even the Skywing race, or even the Dragon Spirit race which is countless times more powerful, is still somewhat inadequate in that world filled with gods and Buddhas.

At most, they can only act arrogantly and domineeringly in the lower classes.

In that world, strength was measured by one's rank.

Although reaching the upper level cannot be judged by pure strength, if we ignore this point and look at it roughly, even if the entire Skywing race combined their strength for an attack, it should only reach the initial level of the upper level—four digits.

That is, the extent to which a planet is destroyed.

Even though it's a four-figure sum that could be considered a dominant force in the Little Garden, it's still too little help for Orpheus. Moreover, it would take the entire race to unite just to barely achieve that in terms of power.

It would be pointless to go to all that trouble to have everyone do menial tasks, not to mention that Orpheus is the kind of person who, despite having unlimited potential, still strives for the minimum energy consumption.

It's just odd jobs anyway, so we can just recruit some people locally.

but……

"Take them all with you."

Without much thought, Orpheus made his decision.
