The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"Ugh?"

"After Ishtar returns from the southern jungle, I'll need you to take me to the underworld."

"what?"

Ishtar was taken aback.

The underworld... is where that bastard sister lives?

So, was that guy actually summoned...?

"No, that's not the point. The Underworld is a place where even someone as invincible as me could easily go and never return if I'm not careful. You seem to be weaker right now, and you're still injured. Going to the Underworld at a time like this is just suicide."

With a frown, Ishtar looked at Orpheus seriously.

"Although I hate to admit it, you are now the most important part of Uruk. Your life doesn't belong to you alone, do you understand?"

When Ishtar became excited, Orpheus curled the corners of his mouth, and that final boss-like smile reappeared on his face.

"Ishtar, don't worry."

"So what I'm worried about isn't you..."

Ishtar was about to speak when Orpheus stopped her with a gesture.

"Actually, I thought about it after the last battle with Enkidu."

"Ok?"

Ishtar was taken aback again.

“Ishtar got it backwards. Uruk, its people, and my life are all my own things… no, I should say they are all ‘me’.”

"what?"

Ishtar was truly dumbfounded this time.

Holy crap, you can't be a fake Orpheus, can you? This gender change is too exaggerated. And because of Father God, even I wouldn't dare to be this arrogant, okay?

Orpheus did not explain, but simply smiled gently.

“Ishtar underestimates me. ‘Infinity’ is not any part of me, but the essence of ‘me’. Therefore, even if I actively discard that infinite power, I am still ‘infinity’. Compared to my infinity, the mere underworld is nothing.”

Ultimately, this was declared.

Chapter 84 Snake

"Mother."

In a disgusting space filled with bizarre chunks of flesh, Kingo, who had the appearance of Enkidu, bowed to the snake woman who was recovering by burying her body in the flesh.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! What's going on? How can someone have such immense power?"

The snake woman lashed out in a fit of rage, her not-yet-fully-recovered tail whipping around as she growled in exasperation.

Jin Gu remained calm, unmoved by the anger and pressure emanating from the being he called his mother.

In her view, this ending was only natural.

The 'mother' before him could not possibly be a match for Orpheus.

Even the records of this machine have not truly revealed Orpheus's true strength. How could this mother, who couldn't even defeat Kingo, her 'child,' possibly defeat her?

"And you! What happened? Why did it suddenly explode?"

Jin Gu felt somewhat helpless in the face of such questioning.

She never imagined that her special attack using the restraint force would amplify her power to a degree that even she couldn't perfectly control.

After all, it was his own ability, so although the increase in power was beyond his expectations, it was still within his control. But when Orpheus suddenly cut him in two, the balance of energy would naturally collapse.

"I'm very sorry, that was just an accident, and it won't happen again."

However, Jin Gu was too lazy to explain anything to his 'mother'.

Women of this age, especially when they are in a fit of rage, are unlikely to listen to any explanations; it's better to admit your mistake early on.

"Humph."

The snake woman snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter further.

The damage caused by Jin Gu's sudden explosion was indeed the last straw that prompted her to retreat, but it was not the main reason. If she hadn't already been injured, the intense energy wouldn't have been able to seriously injure her.

But... does Jin Gu's energy also have a special attack effect on himself...?

The snake woman felt a growing sense of unease, but she didn't harbor any further suspicions about Jin Gu.

After all, it was a monster he created with his own hands...

However, she was quite curious about the range of that energy's special attack.

"Mother, now that you are seriously injured, those despicable old humans will likely take this opportunity to attack you. Mother, you'd better be prepared."

"Hmph, those useless trash..."

The snake woman was halfway through her sentence when she thought of those powerful and strange Servants, as well as the mysterious King Uruk, and gritted her teeth.

The snake woman wasn't stupid. She had calmed down from her earlier rage, and in her current physical condition, she had almost no chance of winning against her opponent.

"Mother can have the monster army launch a full-scale attack on Uruk, so they won't have time to focus on a surprise attack. If all goes well, it's not impossible to directly capture Uruk, is it?"

Seeing the snake woman frown, Jin Gu smiled slightly and offered her some advice.

It wasn't just the snake woman who suffered heavy losses; the situation was similar in Uruk. While the top-tier fighters were fine, the morale of the lower-ranking soldiers had almost collapsed.

The only difference lies in the high-end combat power; the other side suffered minimal losses due to the support of that young witch, but in reality, this side also has its own trump cards...

However, the snake woman hesitated.

“My son, wasn’t the original plan to use the monster army to resist the combined attack of the other two goddesses after conquering Uruk? The monster army was not yet large enough to withstand the two goddesses, so it would be even more impossible after a strong attack on Uruk, right?”

Jin Gu secretly pursed his lips at this.

It's as if having enough scale means you can actually stand up to the gods.

Indeed, if one were to encounter a situation where one had to fight two gods simultaneously, the ideal approach would be to use a large army of monsters to hold off one pillar while focusing on the other.

The only weakness is... Gorgon is too weak.

Gorgon is indeed very strong. Among the gods, she possesses a composite divinity and is at the top. However, one of the gods she is about to face is the true pinnacle of benevolent gods, an existence at the level of a chief god.

While it's true that if things got serious, King Gu himself could fight Quetzalcoatl... or rather, a fight would probably be inevitable, he still hoped it wouldn't actually happen if it could be avoided.

This time was no different. Jin Gu was caught off guard by the 'goddess's' sudden attack, but it didn't disrupt her plans.

With Orpheus still alive, it would be virtually impossible to breach the North Wall.

Although she avoids using her full strength in battle, defeating the snake woman doesn't require her to use her full strength at all. It should be said that, apart from Quetzalcoatl and Kingu, Orpheus has the ability to limit the aftershocks of the battle to a level that does not affect Uruk, no matter who she faces.

The reason the snake woman hasn't been killed yet is probably because she's already discovered it...

However, some things are unavoidable.

Looking at his mother, Jin Gu's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, and then he lowered his head.

"There's no room for discussion now. Even if it means delaying the assault on Uruk, we must use overwhelming force to hold back the Uruk army's advance."

"Really? Your body has recovered?"

The snake woman asked this question with her eyes closed.

"Yes."

Jin Gu nodded.

With that thing as its core, as long as it's not destroyed, Kingo could be said to possess the same regenerative abilities as Orpheus at his peak...

In fact, without that, King Ko would not have been able to unleash power beyond his control.

"Then, I'll leave the task of holding Uruk to you. Try to maintain the size of the monster army—once I recover, I'll personally crush Uruk!"

"Leave it to me."

Jin Gu bowed and withdrew from this disgusting space, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face before finally letting out a soft sigh.

If she stays with her 'mother' all the time, then the enemy will have no chance of winning, right?

However, at least she will try her best to stop her opponent.

Until that moment arrives, let her play the role of 'child' well.

"With the help of Lady Medea's Noble Phantasm, the wounded have been healed. Excluding those who have lost their will to fight, there are currently about three thousand soldiers in the North Wall who can still fight."

"The monsters have temporarily retreated for some reason, and the damage to the city walls was repaired thanks to Lady Medea's Noble Phantasm."

"Based on this attack, the engineers have submitted relevant countermeasures..."

Inside the north wall, one report after another was delivered to Orpheus.

"The retreat of the Warcraft..."

Orpheus nodded and looked at Joan of Arc.

"They're probably planning a large-scale attack..."

Joan of Arc gave a wry smile.

Uruk will likely face considerable difficulty in dealing with the full-scale attack of the monsters.

Morale could barely be maintained, entirely thanks to Joan of Arc's charismatic leadership.

Has Arjuna fully recovered?

Orpheus turned his gaze to the white-clad archer beside him, who nodded.

"Thanks to Miss Medea."
