The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"Jingu?"

Orpheus blinked.

"The first of the eleven children? Tiamat's second husband?"

As Orpheus spoke of the legend of Kingo, his gaze toward Enkidu... or rather, Kingo, began to turn strange.

"Hmph, I am not that cowardly failure, but a perfect being modeled after Enkidu, the greatest masterpiece of the gods... a perfect being designed as the next generation of humanity."

Speaking of the original Jin Gu, the current Jin Gu's eyes flashed with undisguised disdain.

"Therefore, I can assure you that humanity will not perish. After the old humanity disappears, human reason will begin anew... So die in peace, for the joy of returning to nothingness is the ultimate salvation bestowed upon you!"

Jingu continued talking non-stop, while Orpheus's gaze grew increasingly strange.

"Well, you know what you were curious about, right? You've made your promise, so you can go die obediently now, right?"

"I haven't finished speaking..."

Orpheus finally couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"Oh, what are you saying? As a gesture of leniency, I'll let you say it one last time."

"Hmm... I've confirmed some things."

"What!?"

Under King Gu's astonished gaze, Orpheus's body, which had been recovering, began to dissipate at a rate dozens of times faster.

"First of all, you are really not Enkidu."

Jin Gu finally reacted, and with a flash of his sword, it pierced the ground.

However, the target was not hit.

Orpheus has completely vanished.

"Secondly, you're dumber and more foolish than Enkidu, and you talk too much nonsense."

Purple light condensed into the upper body of King Gu in mid-air above him, and Orpheus chuckled.

"you!"

Kingu reacted very quickly this time. Countless weapons instantly appeared on the ground beneath his feet, pointing at Orpheus. Just as they were about to be launched, countless magic circles suddenly appeared around her, surrounding her densely.

"when……"

Jin Gu's expression darkened; the immense pressure of magical power prevented her from making any rash moves for the time being.

"Finally, once you failed to kill me with a single blow, your victory was already hopeless."

With Orpheus's snap of his fingers, a second and a third magic circle appeared in addition to the original one, and more and more magic circles appeared one after another until the fifth one stopped.

"This is the final gift, so accept it gracefully."

Although each shot isn't very powerful... the sheer number of them is enough to give Jin Yong a run for his money.

Unlike before when they scattered in mid-air, all the magic circles are now pointing directly at the target, giving King Gu absolutely no room to dodge.

Damn it!

King gritted his teeth, only managing to summon chains to encircle himself before Orpheus's emotionless voice rang out once more.

"Two thousand... Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge mushroom cloud rose slowly into the forest.

────────────────────────────────

Merlin whistled as he watched the mushroom cloud that hadn't yet dissipated.

"How magnificent! So, how is it? Is it resolved, King Orpheus?"

Orpheus slowly emerged from the woods beside the three Servants.

At this moment, her body had not fully recovered, and her whole body was shimmering with purple light spots.

"At that level, it's impossible to destroy Enkidu."

Orpheus shook his head casually and then turned away.

"Let's go back to Uruk."

No one else had any reason to object, and no accidents occurred along the way. The group returned safely to the North Wall.

"Are you all alright? Is there anywhere you need medical treatment?"

As soon as they entered the city walls, Medea, who looked like a little angel, appeared before them and asked with some concern.

"Yes, it's nothing."

Orpheus gave Medea a faint smile and nodded.

"Hmm... King Orpheus seems to have become much more cheerful."

Watching the interaction between the two girls from behind, Merlin touched his chin.

"King Orpheus, have you returned?"

Following closely behind Medea, Joan of Arc and Arjuna, who were guarding the rear, also arrived.

"Um... just now all the Dingirs on the city wall fired automatically..."

"It's nothing, I did it."

"Wow, really? That's amazing. No wonder you're the king."

Joan of Arc seemed quite surprised.

At that moment, a beam of light suddenly shot over, but Orpheus deflected it with a wave of his hand.

"Really, so you were here all along?"

Sitting atop the celestial vessel Maana, Ishtar proudly placed her hands on her hips.

"I just made a special trip to Uruk to see you, you know? I practically turned the entire pyramid temple upside down to find you! Seriously, standing up a god like that? I've never even heard of that before."

"No... I don't think I made any appointment with Ishtar to meet... Speaking of which, Ishtar was taken from Uruk..."

"Huh? I said there is, so there is? And I didn't steal anything, it's all legitimate compensation I received!"

Ishtar waved her hand at Maana and suddenly narrowed her eyes as she looked at Orpheus.

Under the intense gaze, Orpheus tilted his head.

"Ishtar, is something the matter?"

"No, I feel like you've changed a bit, as if you've let go of something."

As she said this, Ishtar suddenly chuckled softly.

"This feels so much better to me than before."

"Yeah……"

Orpheus tilted his head again.

"Although I don't really care about Ishtar's feelings..."

"Wait a minute... I've noticed something. Even though you don't talk much, you've always had the habit of occasionally saying something really hurtful!"

Seeing the group of people getting along well, Altira silently turned around and quietly left.

"Altila".

However, Orpheus suddenly called out to her.

"I have to thank Altira for defeating the Scorpion Man today."

"No...this is work."

Destroying everything in her way—that's her job.

Altira nodded in response and was about to leave again, but Orpheus grabbed the hem of her dress.

Even so, we should still give thanks and celebrate today?

Looking into Orpheus's sparkling eyes, Altira didn't know why, but she nodded in agreement as if possessed.

Anyway, in the past, after winning a battle, the tribe would always pull me aside to celebrate...

"Yes, defeating the Scorpion Man is a milestone."

"Yes, at least we know that the other side is not invincible."
