The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Chapter 452 The Expedition Begins

The game name bestowed upon me is: 'Sunset'

Participant Overview: Volunteers and members of the fighting community gathered under the Thousand Eyes banner.

Game objective: Make the sun fall.

Additional conditions: Any killing or looting between members of the same faction, or any behavior detrimental to one's own side without a legitimate reason, such as desertion from the front lines.

We pledge to respect the above and, based on honor, the banner, and the rights of the organizer, host the Gift Game.

'Thousand Eyes' Seal

Orpheus looked at the contract paper in his hand, which had just floated down from the sky and was shimmering with golden words.

It can be described as very simple and straightforward content.

Only that short sentence about the organizer's authority proved Qianyan's determination.

Having confirmed the contents of the paper, Orpheus looked away.

She was currently at the edge of a huge square.

This is the place you arrive at after being transferred using the functions of the Thousand Eyes branch itself.

Although the construction is quite rudimentary, one can sense the presence of a spatial blessing, suggesting that its capacity is far greater than what is visible on the surface.

In this square, Orpheus could see more than a dozen flags of different styles floating in mid-air, and beneath each flag was a fully armed combat group.

Many communities wanted to establish a relationship with Thousand Eyes, but since the other party was a demon king with the power to annihilate gods, there were not many communities qualified to participate in this level of battle. Thousand Eyes would not allow someone who was not even cannon fodder to participate in the battle. In the end, only a dozen or so communities of various sizes were left.

Even among these selected communities, few are qualified to participate in the war... As for logistical support, Thousand Eyes promised to take on all the responsibilities.

Even though Orpheus knew very well that each of them possessed considerable strength no less than that of his own Skywing race, or even a higher level—as a being of the four-digit level, he had roughly sensed that there were several of them—they still looked like a cobbled-together ragtag army.

As for the gods among them, I didn't see a single one with a name or surname.

Although those god groups didn't have a huge need for the rewards from the Thousand Eyes, it was still an opportunity to build relationships with the largest commercial community, and it seemed strange that none of them participated.

Well... if we're talking about the difference between those god-like groups and these ragtag armies, besides strength and resources, it really is intelligence capabilities.

Judging from the strength of these ragtag troops... they should be able to hold their own against a three-digit demon king.

Or, given that the 'omnipotence paradox' has already been established in sandplay, if it's only a three-digit number, there's still something we can think of.

If it could deter those gods... but if that's the case, I can't understand why the Thousand-Eyes, who values ​​trust, would do this.

Although there were many ronin like her gathered around Orpheus who offered help in their own name, it was all in vain.

It seems that some members of the community also sensed something was wrong, and the square became somewhat chaotic for a moment.

But the appearance of one person brought the riot to an instant.

Its pure white form seemed to have been born to exist there, unknowingly reigning supreme in the air at the very front of the square, quietly looking down on everyone.

White robes, white veil, long silver-white hair, and bright silver eyes.

Even with her face veiled, a woman with such features cannot conceal her noble and ethereal aura.

For Orpheus, seeing such a fair-skinned person for the last time was not a pleasant memory, but for everyone else present, this was truly the appearance of a god.

At the same time, the Thousand Eyes banner unfurled from the void behind the woman, descending from above.

The banner bears the image of two goddesses facing each other, each holding a sword.

Even before she uttered a single word, everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to her, and they fell silent without realizing it.

From the very beginning, Orpheus minimized his presence to avoid trouble, casually leaning against the plaza wall that should have been expanding within a certain limited area, while also slightly raising his head to look at the other party.

Whether by coincidence or not, two pairs of silver eyes met.

The woman nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and Orpheus nodded in response.

"I believe everyone here has already seen the contract documents."

There was no small talk, not even a self-introduction; the woman went straight to the point.

"The rules are very simple, and the rewards will be determined based on each person's contribution. Even divine-level blessings or the divine status itself are on the list of prizes. Even if there are those who die in battle, we, the Thousand Eyes, will provide sufficient compensation and relief. At the same time..."

The woman in the sky scanned the entire square with her slightly trembling eyes.

"The community that contributes the most will be able to gain the Demon King's subjugation after the victory."

Upon hearing this, the crowd in the square, which was already somewhat agitated by the woman's bluntness, finally couldn't contain themselves and erupted in waves of emotion.

Defeating the Demon King forces him to join the victor's community—this is the rule established by the Little Garden.

Even so, none of the people present thought they would have the opportunity to fight for this right.

After all, the original Demon King had basically been recognized as the property of Thousand Eyes.

Although the chances are slim... there's always a chance if you give it your all, right?

Moreover, even if the Demon King is difficult to obtain, items of divine status are unimaginable blessings.

But before the shockwave could fully spread, the woman uttered another startling statement.

"Of course, the community that gains the right to be subordinate to the Demon King will also gain the 'sovereignty of the sun' as an appendage of the Demon King. Please fight hard, everyone."

As soon as the words were spoken, the initial tension finally exploded completely.

Without a doubt, a community that can simultaneously obtain the sovereignty of the Demon King and the Sun can instantly rise from a mediocre level to a first-rate level.

—It's worth taking any risk, no matter how great.

This was the determination that instantly ignited in almost everyone present.

"Fairness goes without saying, and there are also small garden nobles here who can make arbitrations."

Completely ignoring the commotion below, the woman reached out to the other side of the square opposite Orpheus, while countless screens around the square displayed the scene there.

A gentle, refined young man with black hair and rabbit ears bowed gracefully to the screen.

That was one of the Moon Rabbits, who were part of the retinue of Indra.

Because the rabbit ears on their heads can connect to the central hub of the miniature garden, and in such situations they are forced to make impartial judgments, they can be described as absolutely fair judges, which is why they are given the title of 'miniature garden nobles'.

With such a surveillance presence, even the Thousand Eyes would be unable to tamper with anything.

Having confirmed this, everyone present finally put aside their remaining worries and cheered with high morale.

Only Orpheus, who was silently observing, lazily squinted his eyes.

From the moment the goddess appeared, she knew that these guys, who looked like a ragtag army, wouldn't have any chance of performing.

At the same time, she can probably just coast through this battle.

"Now that you have all gathered here, you must have been mentally prepared."

As the woman spoke, the crowd, who had been waiting for the right moment, knew what was about to happen, even though they didn't know how. They had been given instructions beforehand and were clear about what was going to happen. They roared again before the battle.

"Then—in the name of the Thousand Eyes, the war against the Demon King of the White Night officially begins."

Along with the announcement came the crisp sound of the woman's palms clapping together.

The next second, the square disappeared from everyone's sight.

Instead, a hell covered in white flames appeared.

Chapter 453 Action

Rumble──

Intense white flames engulfed the entire city, shooting straight into the sky, their dazzling light shrouding the heavens and earth.

This is the first thing everyone sees after being teleported here.

"What exactly is going on..."

One of the people who was originally preparing for battle with great enthusiasm couldn't help but reveal this doubt.

It's not for the sake of the immediate scene.

A single blow of four digits would be enough to destroy a planet, and for those present, achieving such an effect would only be a matter of time if they ignored the obstruction of others.

But the flames before us... are not something simple.

That was a power that could terrify them simply by looking at it.

Even though the city still miraculously retains its former outline for unknown reasons, the energy contained within the flames cannot be ignored.

The city today... is like a star being suppressed.

The fact that it still didn't erupt under these circumstances is incredibly bizarre.

"Rescuing the wounded... whether it's from this battle or from the city itself, it's all a contribution. Covering your comrades is a contribution. Doing your part in the battle is a contribution. Even just suppressing the disaster is a contribution. Do what you can... after witnessing such a natural disaster."

Standing at the very front of the group, the woman maintained her usual narrative tone as she conveyed her words to everyone.

But perhaps due to the psychological effect of being intimidated by the scene, many people present inexplicably felt that there was a wicked, cynical mood hidden in that calm tone.

Especially that last sentence.

The previously high spirits plummeted to rock bottom at this moment.

Ultimately, if such a place, which hides such terrifying energy, were to accidentally explode, most people here would have no chance of survival.

No matter how sweet the fruit at the end may be, it's meaningless if there's no hope of picking it.

Seeing their expressions, the woman at the front also fell silent.

Finally, she let out a barely perceptible sigh, turned her body from sideways to face the entire expeditionary force.

Then, he solemnly leaned forward slightly.

For someone of her status, this was an unimaginable level of courtesy.

"This demon king doesn't have much of a destructive desire, which is why there's still room to save this city... If you think you're powerless to fight the demon king, that's fine too. However, rescuing the survivors will also require your efforts. Even if it's just for the reward, please do your best."

"..."

The woman's composed demeanor seemed to slap those who had just been 'misled' in the face, and the scene fell silent once again.

Ignoring this, the woman straightened up and lightly turned around again to face the raging fire.

"I will stand against the Demon King."
