The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"Ah...no...there are various reasons for this too..."

Finally, under Orpheus's gaze, Ereshkigal sighed in surrender, his eyes turning serious.

"No matter what, I still want you to understand. Although we can talk so harmoniously now, my goals and beliefs have never changed. So I said it from the beginning, right? If you want to stop me, then be prepared to destroy everything I have. Until now, because of my personal interests, I have been constantly trying to talk to you, just like today, and this will not change until this interest disappears. So, if you want to kill me, you can do it anytime."

"is it?"

Orpheus seemed unsurprised, simply smiling calmly.

"I've got it."

"Ah, I'm so sorry to bother you. Is King Orpheus home?"

Just then, a discordant voice suddenly broke in.

"cut……"

Ereshkigal clicked his tongue as he watched Merlin suddenly appear in the surveillance footage.

"Let's call it a day, it's almost dawn."

After uttering those words, Ereshkigal disappeared into the shadows.

"Merlin, is something the matter?"

"Hmm, I saw some interesting things. Is it okay to request permission to go out?"

"...Is that so? I understand."

Without asking any further questions, Orpheus let Merlin leave, then looked up at the sky again.

The stalled gears are about to start turning...

Chapter 65 Visitors from Abroad

According to the original timeline, after the hero-king Gilgamesh went out to find the elixir of immortality, the original city of Babylon was left unmanaged, so when he returned, his country was in ruins and his people had long since scattered.

Gilgamesh then completely abandoned the old capital Babylon and rebuilt a new city-state in the southeast, starting his rule from scratch, which was not difficult for his leadership skills.

If one enters the singularity along this timeline, Gilgamesh will later demolish Babylon to build the northern wall.

After Orpheus took over, since Orpheus had no need to pursue immortality, meaning there was no reason for him to be away for an extended period of time in the calculations, and because fate needed to stabilize history to a certain extent, Orpheus's previous king had already moved the capital for other reasons.

In other words, the location of Uruk in Orpheus today is the same as the location of New Uruk in Gilgamesh's territory, and Old Babylon also exists to the northwest.

Some of the differences are that, because it had been abandoned for a longer period of time, the old capital Babylon had been occupied by another group of people. In Orpheus's previous conquests, after Orpheus relocated the population, Babylon was also dismantled and used as material to build the northern wall.

No matter what, it can't escape the fate of being demolished.

In this abandoned city, which should have been completely desolate and devoid of its former prosperity, and where no one would ever visit, several uninvited guests suddenly arrived.

This arrival is not a figure of speech, but a real descent from the sky.

A bright silver light flashed up and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Amidst the dust and smoke kicked up by the collision, three petite figures could be vaguely seen.

"Senior...Master, are you alright?"

Among the three, a soft, weak voice came out.

"Ah, it's nothing. It's all thanks to Mashu."

"Yes, as expected of Mashu."

Then, two more voices rang out.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the figures of the three people came into view.

A blonde girl with emerald green eyes, wearing a white dress covered in armor, and a shield-wielding girl wearing black sleeveless armor, with short pink hair covering one eye.

Both girls have near-perfect appearances, while the girl in the middle is dressed in white with a red side ponytail. She is slightly less attractive, but still exudes considerable vitality.

At the feet of the three, a small white creature that looked like a squirrel could be seen circling around them.

"Phew, that's great. I was worried about what might happen. Are you all alright?"

At this moment, a rather abrupt male voice rang out, and a few flashes appeared on the wristband of the girl in the middle. An image screen also appeared in front of them, showing a man dressed as a doctor who looked quite worried. Obviously, the voice just now came from him.

"Yes... Although I experienced a sudden freefall from two hundred meters above the ground, I was saved thanks to Master's quick thinking... But can the doctor explain what exactly happened? So far, although there have been all sorts of accidents, there has never been a case of being put into the air like this before. What exactly happened?"

The shield-wielding girl, known to others as Mashu, frowned and asked the man on the screen.

"This... the process of the spirit transfer seems to have been interfered with. The original plan was to transfer to the largest city of this era, and it was successful. But at the same time, you were forcibly driven out of that location."

"...Could it be that the Magic King is getting in the way?"

At this moment, the blonde girl next to her interjected.

"Hmm... Could it be that this isn't that city? It seems quite large."

At this moment, the red-haired girl, known as Master, tapped her cheek and also expressed her opinion.

"Sigh... Is that a city too? I can definitely sense a lot of life there..."

"It's a barrier~"

Just then, a woman who looked remarkably like Mona Lisa suddenly appeared in the video.

"The results are in, Roman. You were ejected just now because of the Uruk barrier."

"So, Uruk, which had to construct such a barrier, has indeed fallen into crisis?"

The man named Roman also seemed to have a serious expression.

"No... I must say, as expected of the Age of Gods... the concentration of mana over there is ridiculously high... Our processing speed can't keep up, and you'll have to find out a lot of information yourselves. We can only help you with the analysis. So, can you confirm the light band in the sky?"

"Ah...yes, the light band has indeed appeared! As for the surrounding area, it seems to be all ruins."

Mashu quickly surveyed the surroundings and reported back to Roman.

"Is that so... then it seems we can't expect to get supplies from here, and Uruk is quite far from here..."

Suddenly, the blonde girl stepped forward, and a magnificent golden two-handed sword appeared in her hand.

"Master, please take a few steps back for now."

"what?"

The group seemed to believe the blonde girl's words quite a bit. Although they were still confused about the situation, Mashu had already put up a large cross-shaped shield and stood in front of the red-haired girl.

"It's happened! It's a hostile reaction!"

A little later, Dr. Roman's warning also arrived.

"Be extremely careful! Due to the special circumstances of this era, only three of you can be transferred there at a time. It's impossible to teleport again now, even for a short battle. Our combat strength is severely strained, and we must contact someone in this era who can cooperate with us as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry! We went through the same thing in the beginning, didn't we?"

While Roman seemed a little nervous about his speech, the red-haired girl appeared very confident.

"Lily and Mashu are my finest sword and shield!"

This confidence wasn't directed at himself, but at the bond that the three of them had always shared!

"Master..."

The other two seemed quite moved.

"Master, the enemy is approaching. Please give instructions!"

From the other side of the ruins, dozens of monstrous beasts, resembling both lions and hyenas with manes like flames, roared and charged toward the three at incredible speed.

"Alright... as usual, defeat them, Lily! Mash, cover Lily's operation!"

"Yes!"

"Mash Kyrielight, launch!"

Two voices echoed in response to the red-haired girl's command.

Although the monsters are stronger than most of the enemies they have faced before, they believe that as long as they have their Master's instructions, they can be led to victory!

A dazzling light shone from the sword of the blonde girl named Lily, and just as she was about to charge at the monster, a sudden change occurred.

"Wait... this reaction!"

As the doctor exclaimed in surprise, countless tiny golden beams of light rained down, and an enormous energy wave, disproportionate to its size and appearance, swept across the area, wiping out all the magical beasts in a single attack.

"This is!"

The group turned around and looked in the direction the beam of light had appeared.

"Hmm...it must be you guys, right? Every single one of you has been going on and on about these so-called foreigners?"

The goddess with black twin ponytails was tossing several gems whose brilliance had dimmed, watching them with a smile.

Chapter 66 The Visitor to Chaldea

"who?"

Lily dashed forward and moved to the back, facing the girl throwing the gems directly in front of her, her face serious.

While it's true that she was too focused on dealing with the enemy in front of her, it's also true that she didn't notice the person's presence before they made their move, thanks to her intuition.

Mashu quickly turned around and used her shield to block between the red-haired girl and the goddess.

Even if the other party has just helped them defeat the attacking monsters, it doesn't mean that the other party can be trusted 100%, and vigilance is still necessary.

"You don't recognize me... I'll let you off this time since you're some kind of foreigner. But next time, remember to watch your tone, little girl. You should know that in Mesopotamia, no human dares to speak to me like that."

Ishtar narrowed her eyes slightly, her alluring red eyes staring directly at the three of them, exerting immense pressure on them.

However, they still did not relax their posture.

"We are very sorry, but we cannot lower our guard against a powerful person like you until we have ascertained your identity."

After all, Ishtar's appearance was far too forceful.

If her appearance were like falling from the sky due to a loss of control of the spaceship... then those people probably wouldn't be too wary of her.

Most importantly, she directly revealed their origins, which, although not unprecedented, indicated that the other party was connected to the mission they needed to complete.
