The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

This was a question she had suspected for a long time.

Norns's stated purpose in leaving was the place where the Demon King was summoned, and given that the girl could indeed smell that guy's scent on her, the two must have had some contact; the only difference was whether the girl herself knew it or not.

The blonde girl paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, that person said that the person who came to defeat the Demon King could help me. Since it's a suggestion from fate, then it's necessary and valuable to take it into consideration."

Anyway, if there's any problem, just transfer them immediately.

The blonde girl was confident that if she wanted to run, no one could catch her.

"Then why did Halwin appear in that kind of place in the first place?"

"Stargazing City is where I originally lived, because I could see the stars there."

The girl answered Orpheus's final question without hesitation.

There wasn't much emotional fluctuation in his words.

"However, I also bear some responsibility for that incident."

The girl continued speaking.

"Those people said they wanted to invoke the sovereignty of the sun, so we went along with it because it was interesting."

"..."

Orpheus looked up at the sky.

Only now did she truly understand why Alpha would judge this girl, who looked no more than thirteen years old, as a potential danger.

This guy is a complete problem child.

"Therefore, I will take responsibility."

However, after hearing the girl's somewhat unexpected words, Orpheus turned his gaze back to her.

"Your purpose in collecting solar flames is probably to understand the concept of what constitutes the sun by reading the information in those flames, but that's impossible. 'Star sovereignty' is not such a simple thing."

As if to prove her words, a white flame ignited in the girl's small palm.

It was exactly the same flame that the Demon King had used.

“The reason why ‘Star’s’ spirit is so powerful is because of its mass, not because of this insignificant flame.”

Extinguishing the 'flame' whose sheer heat was enough to completely vaporize steel, the girl met Orpheus's eyes.

Then, the girl suddenly laughed.

That was a mischievous smile, like that of a little devil.

"So, how about joining the ranks of those who want to cut that inexplicable sun into several pieces and then divide them up?"

Chapter 474 Two Days

Orpheus gazed at the girl's youthful face and the mischievous smile that matched her age, as if he were getting to know her all over again.

The girl tilted her head, looking puzzled.

The dragon goddess girl slowly turned her gaze back and exhaled.

"Don't worry, it's fine without such meaningless incentives. I won't forget what I said, and I won't violate it without reason."

She had already said she would defeat the Demon King of the Primordial Star, and since she had said it, she would do it.

Dragons are creatures that are naturally like this.

"However, when to carry it out is my own business."

Standing up from the ground, the dragon goddess dusted off her robes and looked in the opposite direction from the girl.

"At least for now, I'd rather focus on dealing with community matters."

"Um……"

The girl uttered a long, strange sound that had a rather sweet quality, and followed Orpheus's gaze.

"Indeed, it has become a very powerful place."

At this moment, everything within their field of vision was covered in silvery white.

That was the sunlight after it was reflected.

The earth itself, which has been completely crystallized, reflects these rays of light.

"Ether crystals".

Halwin whispered the true nature of those crystals.

"While it's not some impossible fantasy, it's unbelievable that such a number of them could be gathered in a single outer gate."

Rather than saying that these ether crystals gathered together, it would be more accurate to say that the land itself was completely transformed into ether crystals.

That's precisely why it seems so impossible.

Making the ethereal particles manifest requires a considerable amount of energy or momentum, but that's actually not too bad. If we don't require a large quantity of ether, even 21st-century human technology can achieve that level.

Even with sufficient energy, producing ether particles and even further forming crystals still requires extremely stringent and complex conditions.

Of course, this is not apparent from the land itself.

"Could it be... that I'm being favored by the ether...?"

Even the usually composed Halerwin couldn't help but complain.

Orpheus tilted his head to the side.

She didn't actually know much about ether, since the definition and uses of this kind of fictional particle might change every time she traveled to a different world, which wasn't very friendly to someone like her who traveled between different worlds.

Therefore, she naturally had no chance to understand the principles of ether formation.

However, one thing is certain.

"This is the result of Alpha's guidance, and it's also thanks to the foundation laid by Enkidu."

She narrowed her eyes.

If she only had her own power, she could at most heal the wounds left by Omega and allow this land to give birth to the 'infinite' source, but with Alpha's power, it would be different.

The divine power of the Goddess of Creation directly allowed this land to be presented in the most perfect form possible under the current conditions, and this perfection was further enhanced by Enkidu's efforts during Orpheus's absence.

The end result is this land covered by ether.

Although Orpheus didn't know much about ether before, if, as Alpha said, the ether in this miniature garden had the function of serving as a medium for the Akasha Records, then everything before her could indeed be of great help to her.

But that's all for the future.

After taking one last look at the land, Orpheus turned and strolled toward the now-grounded Hanging Gardens, glancing back at the blonde girl behind him.

"There are no rooms available for guests here, in fact, there aren't even any extra rooms."

She wasn't lying just now. The ground had been completely destroyed by the Demon King, and there were no extra rooms in the garden. Although the space had been greatly expanded using spatial magic, those spaces were for the Skywing species.

However, the Skywing race does not sleep in beds or rooms; they are basically a race that sleeps on the ground with the sky as their blanket.

"Then I'll just stay in the same room as you."

The answer from behind almost made Orpheus stumble.

"Just kidding."

With a smug smile on her face, the blonde girl shrugged.

"I'll rent a room from Thousand Eyes. After all, they can even sell Demon King extermination as a commodity, so surely they can at least have a place to stay."

Although the girl's inner self could not possibly be as young as her appearance, her every move still exuded a rather natural sweetness.

But what's even more deeply hidden is that air of nobility seems to emanate from its very bones.

"A golden... elf?"

Orpheus murmured.

This was said by Alpha, and it's highly likely that the other party is who they are.

Of course, even if this is true, it cannot be just that.

But that noble feeling truly lives up to the name of gold.

"Yes, I am gold."

Having clearly caught Orpheus's words, the girl's smile widened even more.

Sweet as honey, radiant as the sun, noble as gold.

The smiling girl took a step forward, and Orpheus reflexively turned his entire body around.

Almost simultaneously, a soft palm was placed on Orpheus's chest.

That was a spatial ability that was as perfect as ever, without any fluctuations.

The golden-haired girl almost nestled into Orpheus's arms.

However, that was the end of it; the girl did not go any further.

"I am gold, which embodies nobility, and the brightest star in the sky."

The girl pressed her body almost against Orpheus, her eyes narrowed, and her young body exuded an unprecedented allure.

"Completely different from you, who neither flaunts nobility nor likes to radiate light."

Upon hearing this, the blonde girl gently slid away.

"But if it were you, you would surely be able to embrace this nobility and radiance."

After saying those incomprehensible words, the girl turned around with a mischievous and alluring smile.

"───I'm starting to understand how those two goddesses feel."

After uttering his final words, Orpheus found himself alone.

"..."

The dragon goddess girl remained silent, simply watching the spot where the girl had disappeared.

This world is truly far more powerful than any world she has ever experienced before.
