The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

But she didn't want to deny the feeling that these were words she wouldn't normally say.

Looking at Orpheus like this, the Thousand-Eyed Woman—the White Goddess—suddenly chuckled and shook her head with a hint of helplessness.

"Seriously, even someone who should have the least connection to the Little Garden has said this, so as one of the two pillars of the Thousand Eyes, one of the universal truths (Brahma) that created the Little Garden, I naturally can't fall behind. As the origin of creation and one of the Akasha's Alpha (α), I hereby declare that you... White Night, no, I should say the Demon King of the Primordial Star, the Thousand Eyes will definitely repay you tenfold for the shame of this failed extermination. So you better wash your neck and wait."

"Oh oh oh oh oh?"

The Demon King's golden eyes shone brightly, as if he could already imagine that scene, and his whole body exuded an aura of excitement.

One side is the truth that is on par with itself, while the other side is something that, although not much can be seen yet because there has been no real confrontation, is at least definitely close to the truth.

Even with all self-control, it's difficult to suppress the impulse in one's heart.

She was now eagerly anticipating the two people in front of her to directly follow their words and attack, so that she wouldn't have to make the difficult choice between momentary pleasure and long-term enjoyment.

No, or is she going to just attack like that?

With such delicious food laid out before you, who could resist?

Ultimately, however, the Demon King suppressed his desires.

The best food should be saved for last, right?

However, faced with a will that seeks to defy the entire universe, she must respond in the name of the Demon King.

Although it was just a fairly ordinary response, it was enough to express her feelings.

"---Great, we're really looking forward to it!"

The dialogue between the dragon, the god, and the star has come to an end.

Both sides were well aware that their next meeting would be a life-or-death confrontation.

As soon as the Demon King finished speaking, Orpheus felt a spatial fluctuation.

Although she could easily have gotten away if she wanted to, she did not resist.

In an instant, the two who had sworn to defeat the Demon King left in front of him.

Chapter 457 The Purpose of the Thousand Eyes

Snapped!

Accompanied by such a sound, two figures suddenly appeared from nothingness and landed lightly on the ground.

Orpheus narrowed his eyes.

At this time, the miniature garden has no concept of night, but even so, the sky is still too bright.

That second sun, boasting of its presence, was shining brightly in the distance.

...They seemed to leave in a carefree manner, but they didn't actually teleport to the multiverse? Although this distance is very far for ordinary people, that guy should have been able to see them if he had been paying attention.

"This is one of Thousand Eyes' secret strongholds. Unless that guy is really determined to find it, he won't find it easily."

Only when he heard the words from beside him did Orpheus notice the small cabin that the Thousand-Eyed Goddess had pointed out behind him.

Indeed, even if Orpheus himself hadn't made up his mind to search, he would never have noticed this dilapidated house hidden on the edge of the forest, which was already half rotten and collapsed.

Led by the Thousand-Eyed Goddess, Orpheus entered the house.

Yes, after walking through the complicated corridors, there is a very traditional, huge, spacious area.

"Then, can you tell me the details?"

The dragon goddess leaned against the wall closest to her and looked at the woman who had found a chair and sat down.

The woman had now removed her armor, and apart from not putting her veil back on, she was completely back to how she looked when she first met Orpheus.

Orpheus had already suspected the other party's identity, and it had just been confirmed.

Reigning atop the Thousand Eyes, Alpha (α), one of the two goddesses situated at opposite ends of Akasha, is the creator goddess.

At the same time, it is one of the very few universal truths (Brahman) in the miniature garden, and a pillar in the realm of absolute authority (two digits).

"Well... I will tell you, after all, you have every right to know."

The goddess smiled slightly and nodded with a dignified air.

Then, a serious expression appeared on her face.

"But before that..."

Understanding her meaning and feeling a suppressed tension in her heart, Orpheus nodded in agreement.

Then, he snapped his fingers.

Countless small snakes darted out of her sleeves and fell to the ground, then one of them suddenly grew to a gigantic size.

The enormous snake arched its body, its head pointing downwards with its mouth wide open, its body trembling slightly, seemingly doing nothing.

"..."

"..."

The goddess with a thousand eyes fell silent, and Orpheus could only respond with silence as well.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

The next second, Orpheus appeared in the middle of the snake and stomped down hard.

boom! boom! boom!

Accompanied by this continuous sound, one after another, humanoid or non-human creatures fell out of the snake's mouth and piled up on the ground.

Although they did not react, you could still feel the breath of life.

These were the members of the extermination team who should have been devoured by the Demon King's violence, as well as the refugees who still survived in the burning city.

In the final moments before the crisis erupted, Orpheus released the maximum number of snakes he could muster at that instant and gave them the command to save lives... This was the limit; how well the command could be carried out depended entirely on the lives of those being saved.

The result was pretty good.

It seemed that they had grasped the basics, and the remaining snakes could easily spit out the people they had swallowed without Orpheus personally stepping on them.

"Sorry, this is my first time trying this kind of play... usage."

"Is...is that so? Take your time."

Although she ignored the strange parts of Orpheus's words, she was probably still somewhat shaken. The goddess, who had regained her initial dignified demeanor, began to speak with a slightly unsteady tone.

This god... doesn't seem to be very good at handling situations outside of his own rhythm, does he?

"It will take some time to release them all, so let's talk first."

Orpheus returned to the wall and sat down, hugging his knees.

Seeing the figures being spat out one by one, the goddess's heart finally calmed down completely... These people were probably one of the reasons why she had so decisively given up on defeating the Demon King.

Regardless, this operation by Thousand Eyes does seem somewhat hasty in terms of its goal of defeating the Demon King... However, Thousand Eyes seems to have other plans.

The fact that the goddess, as one of the leaders, personally intervened is already unusual.

"Actually, it's not that complicated."

Having regained her rhythm, the goddess spoke calmly.

"This operation has three main objectives... no, to be frank, four."

"Doesn't this include defeating the Demon King?"

"Yes, I originally had the mindset of 'if I can do it, I'll fight it; if I can't, I'll just give up.'"

—After all, if we really went to fight, the damage would be too great, but we can't just leave it unattended either.

With that, the goddess nodded readily and held up her finger.

"So, the first point is refugee aid... If we're going to release an official statement, then this is just the most superficial excuse."

The leader of one of the strongest communities would not personally take action just for a city that has nothing to do with him.

"But it seems we almost failed, didn't we?"

Orpheus suddenly interrupted.

The goddess understood her implication: given the circumstances, if Orpheus hadn't intervened, not only would the victims not have survived, but even the rescuers would have been wiped out.

The goddess revealed a smile tinged with bitterness.

"Because I trust you a lot... Even if I say this sincerely, it probably won't be convincing. Actually, I did have a backup plan to prevent such accidents, but because of the triggering speed, I probably couldn't save as many as you did. If I had known we were facing that kind of guy, I would have brought my stupid... and my sister with me."

Ignoring the strange slip of the tongue, the identity of the younger sister mentioned by the other party is quite obvious, but it is not a very important issue at the moment.

"However, this mistake was also part of the second project, which was to find out the Demon King's strength and purpose... in short, to gather intelligence."

Does that mean the Demon King can pay part of the cost of getting the Goddess to act just by providing information?

Considering the demon king's uniqueness and power, this is not impossible.

"The original prediction was that he would be omnipotent... that is, a three-digit number, but I didn't expect that he would end up being omnipotent, on par with my sister and me, and even the Truth... That's why I lost my composure just now."

"Hmm, is that so..."

Although it happened so fast that I couldn't grasp it accurately, it seemed that the space that the goddess had the authority to host had been broken by the other party.

There are many reasons, including many uncontrollable factors, but misjudging the opponent's strength undoubtedly played a significant role.

Realizing this, the goddess sighed helplessly.

However, Orpheus felt that besides being careless, the other party's witty remarks probably also disrupted the goddess's rhythm to a great extent.

That would probably be the most fatal disadvantage for this goddess, but it's best not to ask further to avoid upsetting her.

"What's next?"

Orpheus then asked.

"The third objective is to find a way to successfully summon the creature."

"...unexpectedly simple."

"It's rather strange that the mighty Thousand Eyes lacks the means to summon, isn't it? In fact, ordinary summoning is not a problem, but summoning for a specific target is a rare ability even in the Little Garden. Although the goal of sovereignty over the sun is very large, so the method is relatively lenient... but it is still necessary to investigate in any case."

"Yeah……"

Orpheus murmured.
