The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

In hindsight, either Hisafuji was right, or Ama no Mushi is still conserving its energy.

Regardless, it's fortunate that we don't have to face that storm on the plane; Hisato Ayatsuki wouldn't dare gamble on whether the Heavenly Bull could catch up with the plane.

While it is necessary to stop the typhoon from causing further damage, the immediate priority is to get Homura Saigo to the laboratory; everything else can be postponed.

"So, Rainbow Bird, could you explain the situation to me in detail?"

Seeing that the colorful bird seemed to finally have some free time, Saigo Homura smiled wryly and asked his question.

Ever since Izayoi returned, he's been led around by the nose in various ways, and this cute junior has suddenly become shrouded in mystery.

Only now that they were completely settled did he have the opportunity to get to the bottom of things, and Ayari Suzuka immediately joined in with great interest when she heard about the topic.

"...Yes, that's right."

Meanwhile, Ayatori realized that the task that was originally supposed to be Izayoi's had fallen to her. Shiten and Poriti, who were sitting on the other side, also looked away and could only sigh helplessly.

"This all starts with the concept of 'small garden,' which is a long and complicated topic, but we happen to have quite a bit of time for it now."

Hisako Kudo put on a gentle smile and began with an opening remark.

However, she only had time to finish her opening remarks.

The next second, the colorful bird and the two Twelve Heavens standing next to it stood up at the same time.

Almost immediately afterward, the entire plane suddenly began to shake violently.

"Wow?"

The two orphanage children, who were also riding in an airplane for the first time, exclaimed in surprise.

At least tens of miles away from the plane, the blue-haired youth, nicknamed Caiyunduo, silently nocked a second arrow into his bow.

Immediately, the entire arrow transformed into blue lightning, just as its name suggests, and shot out towards the plane with tremendous speed.

The impact dispersed the surrounding clouds, and the deafening roar drowned out everything else, while the lightning had already left everything far behind, racing towards its target.

The first arrow that exploded near the plane was merely a warning, but the second arrow, fired with utmost care, did not deviate at all, its tip always pointing directly at its target.

—The plane still struggling to fly amidst the sudden impact…or rather, the boy sitting inside who still doesn’t understand what’s going on.

Faced with lightning that defies scientific explanation, even the prestigious presidential vehicle of a major power had no means of evasion, let alone the ordinary little plane belonging to the Kudo family.

Trying to tough it out is unrealistic.

If the passengers on board were just ordinary humans, then this would indeed be a decisive blow.

However, such an "if" is not true.

Just as the lightning bolt approached within a hundred meters of the plane, another arrow, gleaming with a cold light, flew swiftly from the direction of the plane.

The arrow and lightning clashed in mid-air, producing a clear ringing sound. The arrow shattered and bounced away, but the lightning also deviated from its original trajectory. Although its inherent tracking ability allowed it to try to correct itself, it ultimately passed under the plane in the blink of an eye due to its excessive speed, missing its target.

On the wing, Hisato Ayatsuki solemnly lowered the longbow in her hand.

"This thunder..."

"Haha, this does look familiar."

Beside the girl, Yumen Shiten wore an awkward, sheepish grin.

This reaction made Rainbow Bird, who had confirmed her suspicions, gape in astonishment.

After all, if she wasn't mistaken, the lightning she just witnessed was undoubtedly 'Indra's Arrow'.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?!"

"To be honest, I don't know either..."

Yumen Shiten's expression also became somewhat complicated.

Rather than saying he doesn't understand, it's more accurate to say he's unwilling to approach the truth.

However, the truth will eventually come to you.

Six more bolts of lightning appeared in the far distance, covering various different directions in front of the two.

Kudo Ayatori gritted her teeth, not bothering to ask any more questions, and raised her bow again.

Her arrows were far too weak to counter Indra's divine lightning, so she could only use a deflection interception method. However, if the interception distance was too far, the tracking blessing would correct it back, so she needed to be extremely precise.

Not to mention facing such a large number of attacks, just keeping up with the rate of fire is a major challenge.

This wasn't a big problem for Fies Reis, but it was a rather difficult challenge for the inexperienced Kudo Ayatsuki.

The girl took a deep breath, moved gracefully, and quickly drew the bowstring twice as she shifted her body.

In an instant, six beams of light shot out, precisely intersecting with the six bolts of lightning.

Immediately, six bolts of lightning grazed around the plane, leaving a ringing sound in their ears and a slight stinging sensation on their skin. The plane itself seemed to be significantly affected as well, but the two of them had no time to care about any of that at the moment.

After firing the intercepting arrow, Hisato didn't stop, nor did she even take a breath and lament that her skills hadn't deteriorated beyond repair. Instead, she drew her bowstring again, nocked the arrow of light, and warily aimed it at her front.

Looking at the blue-haired youth so close to him, Mikado Shikuten, who had finally faced the 'truth', also became completely somber.

"It really was you..."

With a look of still disbelief and confusion on his face, Yumen Shiten uttered words that seemed to confirm his suspicions.

Combining the information he had received in the Little Garden with the lightning he had just witnessed, he was indeed mentally prepared.

Even so, he still couldn't understand it.

"Why? You shouldn't have anything to do with this at all!!"

Therefore, the God-King questioned the king in a voice loud enough to drown out the engine of an airplane.

"Put down your weapons and explain what happened... my child—Arjuna!"

Faced with his father's questioning, the son of the God King, who has the same blue hair as Mikado Shiten, raises his divine bow and answers with lightning as blue as his hair.

Chapter 746 The Wrath of the God King

Kudo Ayatori swiftly turned her body to avoid the roaring arrow that whizzed past her ear, letting the lightning bolt launched from the divine bow fly into the sky.

Without the slightest hesitation, the girl's nimble body instantly closed in on the blue-haired youth, and the strangely styled snake-belly sword slashed down towards the son of the God-King without hesitation along an equally strange trajectory, only to be blocked with a clear ringing sound.

Kudo Ayatori narrowed her eyes, looking at the weapon held in the hand of the young man called Arjuna.

Both the girl and the little gardener are familiar with this special weapon that should not be common.

One can only say he truly deserves to be called the son of the God-King...

The colorful bird gave a bitter smile to its heart, and its body swiftly withdrew to avoid the attack.

The next instant, crackling blue lightning engulfed the spot where she had been standing.

Arjuna threw his vajra, still crackling with lightning and a symbol of Indra, without hesitation. Kudo Ayatsuki reacted quickly by swinging his serpent sword to deflect the vajra towards the back of the plane to avoid damaging it. Arjuna, meanwhile, had already raised his divine bow again.

In many myths, a significant number of the second-generation gods share a similar trait: their parents often bestow various "advantages" upon them, sometimes even overshadowing their own brilliance.

Arjuna, who is known as the 'divinely inspired hero' in some worlds, is a prime example of this.

The son of the God-King, who possessed numerous blessings due to his father's doting affection, unhesitatingly unleashed the divine power of the God-King upon his father and the girl with him.

At the same time, the young man spoke for the first time in an intellectual yet angry voice.

“I have nothing to say, except one thing is certain: we are now enemies… You should also stop standing there like an idiot and show some real skill, my father.”

One after another, lightning arrows, identical to those fired from the long-range sniper aircraft, were rapidly unleashed from the divine bow, bringing with them power comparable to the bombing of the Skywing race.

At this distance, the bird had no means to stop it and could only nimbly shift its body to dodge the incoming lightning.

Faced with such frequent attacks, Mikado Shiten also took out his Vajra Pestle and transformed it into a double-pronged spear to parry these lightning sword arrows that shared the same source of divine power as his own.

In an instant, the roaring sound was deafening.

"...Why, Arjuna? It is true that many heroes have gone astray after being summoned to the Garden of Light, but they all have their own troubles. But you should be different—you, who should be guiding the country to peace and resting peacefully on Mount Sumeru, why did you choose to help the Demon King's Alliance and block our path here?!"

In the midst of the chaos, Shi Tian asked a question in a rare calm tone, and his tone revealed the parents' belief that only their son would never stray from the right path.

As mentioned before, the young man before him was undoubtedly the object of Mikado Shiten's doting affection as a father. Indra, as one of the oldest, most powerful and intelligent gods in the Hindu pantheon, had a difficult experience of having to shrink his spiritual level for the sake of subsequent gods and various propaganda in later generations. Yet, he still possessed a treasure without any shadows.

The man before me is Arjuna, the son of a demigod known as the Kshatriya, the strongest warrior class in ancient India, a society dominated by class.

Therefore, Yumen Shikudai, while puzzled, calmly inquired about the reason.

Having received numerous blessings from the God-King, the son of the God-King should not need any temptations from the Demon King Alliance. As an invincible hero, he should have lived out his life with this glory.

"...Father—Indra, the God of War, even you are unwilling to understand my true suffering?"

Hearing his father's comforting words, Arjuna's expression flickered with distress, which was then replaced by self-deprecation.

“I have indeed been bestowed with glory. I have a harmonious family, reliable companions, I have quelled wars, and I have achieved many military exploits… For someone like me who has earned the title of ‘Strongest Kshatriya,’ to raise objections would be an audacious offense, yet…”

"If that's the case, then why..."

Faced with his father's increasingly puzzled gaze, Arjuna changed the subject, his tone now tinged with sharp anger.

"Do you really have absolutely no clue? Can't you even think of a single reason why I must fight here, even if it means losing all my past glory?"

"That's incredibly stupid. I don't know who instilled these ideas in you, but you have no legitimate reason to assist the current Demon King Alliance!"

Yumen Shiten refuted without hesitation.

...In fact, he wasn't completely clueless.

There was only one thing that he felt was a possible answer.

However, Shi Tian really did not believe that such a thing would make this world-renowned hero willing to assist the Demon King.

The chaotic thoughts in his mind made Mikado Shiten increasingly agitated, while Arjuna narrowed his eyes in surprise.

"It seems that even in your position as a father, you don't fully understand the 'world' you're currently living in."

Before Indra could even ask what it meant, a torrent of lightning interrupted him.

"The question and answer end here. From now on, I will no longer regard you as my father. If you want to know my true feelings and grief, as well as the truth about the 'three-headed serpent,' then bring it on, God of War Indra."

The divine bow, imbued with lightning and comparable to the bombardment of the Skywing race, is no exaggeration. Bestowed by the god of war, and elevated in Arjuna's hands, this divine bow is a true divine weapon capable of sweeping away even 100,000 enemies when used seriously. He poured such a powerful torrent of energy into a single arrow and aimed precisely and earnestly at his own father for the first time.

And it was with this signal that a new thunderclap suddenly sounded, and black thunderclouds had already covered everyone's heads.

Mikado Shiten brushed the hair from his forehead, his eyes flashing with electric arcs as he coldly stared at his son.

"You mean...bring it on...?"
