The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Yumen Shitian sighed.

After Poritivi came into this world, he discovered another anomaly brought about by the Heavenly Cow... a pathogen that resembled smallpox in humans and also caused damage to both animals and plants.

Most of Europe, including France, and Japan, which was also affected, must have suffered invisible impacts.

Izayoi shrugged.

"That 'Heavenly Ox'... rather than calling it a flood, thunderstorm, or virus, it's more accurate to simply use the word 'disaster' to describe it."

"yes……"

Yumen Shiten nodded in agreement.

"And on a larger scale, this feels like a sign of the end of the world."

"..."

His words left Izayoi silent for a long while.

Finally, the boy raised his head and looked up at the sky.

"The winds of decline, huh..."

The group then tacitly agreed not to delay any longer and sped up their journey toward Greece, their first stop.

Ophis, burying himself in the clouds, watched them depart.

"how's it going."

[Hmm... As expected, there was nothing we could do. Although the Skywing species caught up at the last minute and gathered some information, it wasn't enough to track down that strange wind.]

On the other side, Norns, who was controlling the observatory, quickly reacted.

[That guy isn't stupid. Arjuna seems to have already left this world. As for the Bull of Heaven, he can be found, but that guy probably won't maintain any connection with that temporarily weakened Calamity... Honestly, if only that useless God-King could use the same method to collect information.]

"Um……"

Orpheus nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Why do you seem unsurprised?

"If it were that easy, we would have caught that guy long ago."

Orpheus answered softly.

"However, it should not have left this world yet."

Oh? That makes sense...

The Black Wind went to such great lengths just to distract the Heavenly Army on the other side. Aside from directly waking up Gaia's last son, it's unlikely they have any other means of the same scale. It's hard to imagine them just giving up and leaving like that.

So, you're going to hide here and guard Saigo Homura?

"No, it's not necessarily Saigo Homura."

Orpheus's words startled Norns on the other side.

"That guy's intelligence might not be complete, and he might react differently depending on the situation. Moreover, continuing to attack Saigo Homura under these circumstances is too dangerous, and there's a high chance that he'll seek other methods."

Because the person opposite him was Norns, Orpheus unusually used a long string of words to explain.

Um...so can you guess its 'alternative'?

"Ah."

The Dragon Goddess Girl gave an affirmative answer once again.

Previously, she had told the God-King that the boy was not unusual, but while that wasn't exactly a lie, it only applied to 'the boy himself'... that is, his spirit and body.

However, if we analyze its spiritual attributes and combine them with Azdakha's hints, we can indeed find some clues.

While Norns was tracking the Black Wind, Orpheus had already identified some potential targets in this world.

"Next... we just have to wait for the wind to pick up again."

Chapter 767 Crimson Wind

On the seabed off Japan, wisps of black wind slowly drifted out from the cracks in the rocks.

"...It's all so unexpected, Azdakkaha...I never imagined that Saigo Homura was actually the incarnation of that Demon King. Even with these eyes, I couldn't see through this fact."

The matter of Orpheus was one thing, but unexpectedly, the three-headed dragon, which was thought to be resolved, suddenly jumped out and blocked its way.

The black wind swirled in the sea, eroding the area that had only recently been painstakingly restored by Poriti.

“Saigo Homura… If he were to begin research on particle bodies, he would indeed very likely become an ‘enemy of the world.’ One can imagine that once he knew how many lives would have to be sacrificed to ensure the survival of humanity, the grave sins committed by his research project would surely drive him to despair.”

Everything makes perfect sense. Although the whole situation was unexpected, it was not entirely unpredictable. That is why Black Wind was extremely angry about his own immaturity.

In any case, the opportunity that had been won at great cost was thus squandered.

It is now virtually impossible to kill Saigo Homura and take his body.

The twelve guardians who cannot use divine powers in this world can be bypassed, and the female warrior guarding the side is not a problem at all.

As for Azdaha... although it is also a big problem, as the Demon King who is humanity's final trial, it should have been completely defeated. Now that it has lost its identity, it can be confirmed that it has lost the ability to use Avesta. If so, then Black Wind is sure that as long as he makes full preparations, he will have a very good chance of winning.

However, that alone is not enough.

At the very last moment, it had already 'seen' the arrival of the Skywing species.

Indeed, now that everything in the Little Garden has settled down, the Heavenly Army has every reason to devote ample resources to this world.

Under the protection of the Heavenly Army, killing a person is extremely difficult.

It's not just the twelve days that cannot be restricted by divine authority; in this world, it's simply impossible to kill someone silently using this most versatile ability.

However, as long as they cannot kill Saigo Yan in one blow without the opponent noticing, the Heavenly Army will definitely be able to instantly teleport him away.

Moreover, with the heavenly army already involved, Arjuna, who could be easily found as long as the observatory was operating at full capacity, could not be relied upon.

"But... offerings are necessary."

This is a sacrifice that must be made to save humanity, and someone has to take on this responsibility.

Now that Izayoi Sakamaki, as a candidate for the original text, has already set out towards the endgame, the only remaining candidate is Homura Saigo.

No—

Black Wind refuted this conclusion.

Ultimately, the reason it knows so much information is not only due to the black wind and its own special characteristics, but also because the research on particle bodies has made some progress.

Now that the research has made progress, the possibility of other candidates for sacrifice exists... or rather, the possibility is very high.

—Izayoi's parents suddenly passed away halfway through their research on new energy. After that, the research process was dispersed to a large number of unspecified people, among whom there must have been some who were willing to do anything to make progress. Now that I think about it, the appearance of the Heavenly Ox, which it had just used not long ago, in this world is probably not just a harbinger of natural disaster. Judging from the particle reactions inside it, it must also be related to the experimental process.

"Tch... Were we too hasty before? We overlooked such an important key issue."

Black Wind was once again angry at his own immaturity.

Even without ignoring them, finding these 'unspecified multiple people' that even the Heavenly Army is helpless against is not an easy task, even for Black Wind, which has a great advantage in new energy-related issues. Otherwise, it probably would have sensed the target long ago.

But if we connect to the Heavenly Ox, we can find our way.

A black wind surged up.

Although it was confident that with the truth and justice it possessed, plus the real weapons it had, it might be possible to reach out to some of the gods or even the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Army to discuss the issue of Saigo Homura, there was no need to take the risk since there were other options.

It is currently impossible for it to conduct a spirit search under the possible surveillance of the Heavenly Army, but if asked where the Heavenly Bull originated, any human who can access and understand the news can answer that question.

The black wind burst forth from the sea, and then, with its black body perfectly in harmony with the planet's breathing, it quickly merged into the atmosphere, blowing southward.

Then, it arrived in the blink of an eye at a speed that no ordinary storm could ever achieve.

"South America……"

Black Wind murmured.

This is the birthplace of the Heavenly Ox.

In fact, there are two suspicious locations.

Tianjun and Saigo Homura, who have little understanding of stellar particles, probably can't sense it yet, but the pathogens that the Ame no Ox and Poriti sensed when invading the world were not based on the same type of stellar particles, but rather on the hands of two different organizations.

The pathogen originated in Greece, as evidenced by the minotaur who appeared alongside the Heavenly Bull. Thanks to that minotaur, Izayoi and the others should temporarily focus their attention there.

Black Wind, on the other hand, chose to target the source of the Heavenly Ox.

Below it stretches an endless expanse of green.

—The Amazon rainforest.

The world's largest rainforest is arguably one of the most suitable places to do something shady.

Upon arriving here, Black Wind once again lamented his own foolishness.

Everything is so obvious.

"The celestial body's vital artery has been contaminated to this extent..."

Let alone from a mystical perspective, even from a scientific point of view, the proportion of gases produced by the plants here is quite abnormal.

There is no doubt that someone is conducting an experiment here that is intolerable to the world.

Black Wind deployed its perception over a small area and quickly locked onto its target.

This feeling...

"So that's how it is. This is the true form of the Heavenly Ox."

At the time, when Black Wind used its power to control that thing, it simply felt that it was a sign of the world's decline. After all, most humans' final trials and killing species were more or less related to star particle bodies... This was also the reason why Black Wind could control certain parts of them. But now it seems that it was too immature of it not to think much about it at the time.

Fortunately, it's not too late to salvage the situation.

Once the target was locked, the black storm rushed down.

I don't know if it's related to the severe damage from using the Ox of Time, but the opponent's condition is not very good at the moment. In Black Wind's eyes, its energy level is only at the seven-figure level... It's easy to deal with.

Kill him, then take the body; it's all very simple.

However, such a simple action was thwarted by a single weapon.

That was a golden spear that flew towards them.

--- If the goal is to quickly kill the enemy, it is acceptable to either level the largest rainforest along with it or suffer severe injuries to oneself. However, Black Wind has already recognized the true nature of the spear.
