The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Looking down at the devastation through the darkness, the goddess couldn't help but sigh.

The land, which had just begun to show signs of improvement, was suddenly disrupted by the arrival of the Bull of Heaven, and became chaotic again. At a glance, it looked as if it had been turned upside down several times, with hardly any place intact.

Orpheus nodded slightly.

The damage to the land's surface and topography is nothing; no matter how much the Little Garden restricts omnipotent power, it shouldn't prevent her from even building a road.

The real trouble is the power of the Goddess of Ending, which is once again wreaking havoc on this land.

However, that was nothing to Orpheus; in fact, it brought her considerable benefits.

Although the intensity is much higher this time than last time, the approach will not change.

Suddenly, Alpha's eyes narrowed.

"That is..."

Orpheus followed her gaze.

It was a small, thin piece that remained on the ground.

"Etheric crystals..."

The goddess exclaimed softly, then chuckled slightly.

"Really, it seems I have to take back what I said before. The future of this community is already enough to warrant a higher level of investment from Thousand Eyes."

Orpheus tilted his head in confusion.

"Is that...something strange?"

Etheric crystals are indeed rare for most communities, after all, they are a star's blessing that can only be produced in spiritual lands, but they should be nothing special for the Thousand Eyes.

Even so, to be honest, Orpheus still doesn't understand how this thing is produced. It just appeared out of nowhere, and the only reason he can think of is the excess energy contained in the land.

But since it appeared here out of nowhere, it probably isn't something even a goddess would find strange.

"I'm saying, do you really know what ether crystals represent? You don't think it's something used as an energy source, do you? Although it does have that function, that's not the point."

The goddess smiled.

"That is the vessel of the Akasha record, you know? It's nothing to us two goddesses who are the two ends of the Akasha, but it's different for people other than us."

"..."

Orpheus remained silent.

To be honest, she really didn't know this information.

"Generally speaking, the etheric particles only manifest when they reach the necessary and extremely high intensity of multidimensional momentum or energy, let alone crystallize... Hmm, so this might not be much of a deal for you, right?"

Towards the end, the goddess's tone seemed to carry a hint of jealousy.

"I've suddenly become interested in what this land will look like once it's completely finished. How about we take care of one of the promises we already made? Let's work together to restore this place."

The dragon girl looked at Alpha with some surprise, while the latter looked back at her with a smile in his eyes.

Orpheus narrowed his eyes slightly, fixing his gaze on the goddess.

However, the other person maintained a smile that was completely opposite to their initial coldness as they stared at each other.

Finally, Orpheus turned his gaze away from the goddess and back to the ravaged land below, his lips parting slightly.

"it is good."

The goddess's smile became even brighter.

"Then let this alliance serve as a testament to our unity."

The next moment, the entire garden became the sun, showering its light upon the earth.

And this land has been reborn once again.

Chapter 473 Dividing the Sun?

"Are they finally gone?"

Orpheus leaned against a raised crystal and slid down to sit on the ground, letting out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, one hand was pinching the fabric at the chest of her robe, and the other hand was tightly clenched and placed on the ground below, which had completely turned into crystals.

Originally, it was just a little uncomfortable, but after the two forces harmonized and merged into one, the impact became countless times stronger.

"Truly, this is the truth."

That was all she could say.

This was the first time she had come so close to the truth.

It is not like the Star Cup or the Primal Dragon, which are incredibly large in scale but also incredibly complex in their overall composition, nor is it like the previous Red, which, while not complex, is as hazy as a mist.

This is a truth that is so pure, it seems as if you could reach out and touch it.

The principle of origin is precisely the principle of creation.

This can be said to be one half of the infinity that constitutes Orpheus.

Originally, the goddess was quite wary of Orpheus and did not fully reveal her aura; in fact, she was quite reserved.

But once the Demon King was defeated, that aura was fully released, assaulting Orpheus's senses.

The dragon goddess knew that this was probably more of a test from the goddess.

However, from that moment on, the situation was no longer under her control.

Self-reference—though it hasn't been mentioned for a long time, this is an ability that Orpheus, as the Ouroboros, has always possessed.

By drawing upon the essence of the external world and using it to strengthen its own cycle, the Ouroboros, as the most perfect race, possesses this power.

This ability has not been very useful to Orpheus since she read the Root, since she has not encountered anyone who meets the conditions and can read it for a long time.

Norns is one, but Orpheus already possessed her abilities.

Altshu's abilities were of little use to Orpheus, who possessed infinity. Later, the Primal Dragon and Akaya were too powerful or had unique abilities, and their time together was very short. Although they did provide some help to Orpheus, it was quite limited overall.

The only truly useful Star Cup was originally Orpheus's property; she could absorb its knowledge on her own whenever she wanted, without needing to use the self-reference function.

But Alpha and its counterpart Omega are completely different from the above.

It's not just about meeting the right conditions and having enough time to spend together.

To put it bluntly, they are too compatible.

So good that just smelling their scent gave Orpheus a strong urge to completely incorporate them into himself.

This impulse reached its peak when Orpheus's power merged with that of the goddess.

"Should we be glad that the other one didn't join directly...?"

Orpheus looked at the rising sun and felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and reflection).

A goddess alone is incomplete, which is why Orpheus was able to confirm that they hadn't exerted much of their combined strength in the previous battles.

Two goddesses, two goddesses—since there's such a saying, they must naturally be in pairs.

They might even be two beings in one… Although Orpheus couldn’t confirm this, he was quite certain that only when the two goddesses joined forces would they be the true ‘two goddesses’.

If the two goddesses were to open their breaths to each other without any reservations, as they had just done, Orpheus really couldn't be sure if she could restrain herself.

It should be noted that their previous target—the power of destruction that had taken over this land—had significantly weakened their combined strength because it was not in harmony with their own and instead clashed with theirs.

But just that alone caused an unprecedented surge of impulse to flood the Dragon God Girl's mind.

However, at the same time, it also greatly enhanced her understanding of 'beginning'.

This effect is far superior to the suns collected on the battlefield previously.

Therefore, even though Orpheus felt unfamiliar with or even repulsed by that impulse, her need for the goddess was still necessary, and even if the goddess might have ulterior motives, she still agreed to the alliance proposed by the other party.

Moreover, the benefits she received were real and tangible, and her previous efforts would definitely not have been in vain.

But no matter what... this body is really getting more and more disobedient lately...

The recent events flashed through Orpheus's mind like images, finally settling on the scene of a giant dragon-serpent swallowing the storm.

During the final battle against the Heavenly Beetle, although she used a clone, the consciousness she used was in its complete form.

After all, if she wanted to use the trump card she obtained in this world, she had no choice but to do it this way. Moreover, to be precise, Orpheus had not used her main body for a long time. She had always used clones, only the 'parts' and 'strengths' of them were different from her main body, and her consciousness was always retained in the clones.

Logically speaking, an entity without consciousness remaining in another dimension should be unable to move.

But the Dragon God Girl herself is not entirely illogical.

Even she herself was far too ignorant of the 'perfection' of the ouroboros.

Or rather, this 'perfection' had already deteriorated at some point without her even realizing it.

Can one not move without consciousness? Is the body such an inconvenient thing?

Feeling the foreign substances flowing through his body being slowly assimilated, Orpheus gently exhaled.

"Next... should we speed up the time process...?"

The time allotted for the miniature garden varies from place to place, making it difficult to calculate, but overall it is quite advantageous for Orpheus.

After all, the time for each outer gate in the miniature garden is 'defined' by the outer gate controller.

Through her alliance with the Thousand Eyes, Orpheus also secured a promise to make her community the ruler of this outer gate, extending the time limit to its maximum.

How to make full use of this extra time is the question Orpheus must now consider.

The departure of those two goddesses is only temporary, because the matter of the Demon King has not been resolved yet, so it seems they will return soon. Before that, we must make good preparations.

Just then, footsteps approached.

"Has Halwin not left yet?"

Orpheus looked at the figure walking towards him.

"Yes, because there's nowhere to go."

The blonde girl who approached spoke as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Did Norns send Hallerwin?"

Suddenly, Orpheus spoke up and asked a question.
