The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Poriti blinked, making Yumen Shitian sigh in exasperation at this Earth Deity who, apart from recently being in charge of communications with the Heavenly Army, basically didn't concern himself with external affairs.

Then, ignoring Poritippi's unabashedly smiling face, he turned to look at Orpheus on the other side.

The Dragon God was walking with another albino girl. The latter was not particularly bold to begin with, and now that she was forced to stay by Orpheus's side, she appeared even more timid. However, she did not make any extreme reactions such as trying to escape. Instead, she would look at the axe-wielding Rama at the front with considerable concern from time to time.

Although she was naive and inexperienced, she wasn't stupid. Although she didn't understand much of the conversation, she could still grasp the general idea of ​​what had happened.

This includes who is kind to her and who is unlikely to harm her in the short term.

Even if she wanted to... she wouldn't have been able to resist given the scale of the battle just now.

Moreover, rational judgment is one thing, but for some reason, whenever the girl walked next to this black-clad girl who looked to be about the same age as herself, she felt a natural sense of oppression and fear.

—Especially when facing that chain.

"As expected, she must be the true form of the Heavenly Ox."

Mikado Shiten made his assertion, and Orpheus nodded slightly.

"Hmm, my body has been infused with what you call 'Astra,' and thus I have become connected with mythology to some extent."

Of course, the girl and the real Heavenly Bull are not one, but she has been somewhat influenced by their nature.

It seems that he also has a bit of a natural enemy feeling towards Orpheus, the minotaur killer.

Although Yumen Shiten asked a question, he didn't seem to be focusing on the girl for the time being.

"Speaking of which, it's a good thing you spared her life. I thought that with your personality, you would have just killed her because you didn't want the hassle."

These words made the white girl next to her tremble, and a light called power surged in her originally pigmentless eyes.

But Orpheus simply shrugged at the question.

"Since Shitian has said so, isn't my reason for not doing so obvious?"

"Too……"

Yumen Shiten smiled bitterly. If he didn't kill because he didn't want the trouble... does that mean killing would cause even more trouble?

"Moreover, this is ultimately a human matter."

Orpheus ultimately stuck to this view, which made Mikado Shikuten purse his lips.

The Dragon God's actions were primarily motivated by the purge of those who violated the order. As for issues related to human history, they were merely coincidentally relevant. The Demon King who resolved the final trial of humanity was chosen more because he was a threat to the entire Little Garden than because of the 'final trial of humanity.' Although she would consider human history to some extent during her actions, she would not intervene deeply unless absolutely necessary.

So far, after finding and securing control, Orpheus has taken almost no other substantial action regarding the new energy... at most, he allowed the Skywing race's guards at the request of the Twelve Heavens, without changing any of the original plans.

She was inexplicably dragged into this incident involving the axe-wielding Rama.

Although the two have always worked together very well, they actually have no consensus on this matter.

Mikado Shikuten tends to interfere as much as possible.

Of course, while there are many situations where action is unavoidable, Orpheus's non-interference is indeed quite consistent... at least she won't interfere with Mikado Shikuten's interference.

Just like now, Yumen Shitian actually already has some plans for these two girls.

Just ...

"Even though you say that, your battle with that Black Wind has basically shattered the gears that could originally be turned."

Yumen Shiten sighed deeply.

He felt it was too early for Izayoi to be exposed to this kind of thing now.

King Indra—he was indeed unable to refute Rama's accusations.

Although he genuinely didn't know about the existence of this hell, this couldn't be easily excused by the simple phrase "ignorance is no excuse," because—in order to keep the gears running, he could indeed make the choice to keep the two girls in hell longer.

"In any case, with these two around, Flame's research can at least have a direction."

Yumen Shitian smiled bitterly to himself. He now understood why Heifeng was chasing Yan and the other two.

Just now, 'Past' asked whether the sacrifice of Izayoi was necessary for the development of civilization.

Modern heroes cannot provide an answer.

However, new problems may arise in the future.

So—if that's the case… what should we do then?

Chapter 777 Preparations for Welcoming

"Sixteenth Brother, what exactly is going on..."

Saigo Homura was speechless as he looked at the scene before him.

Beside Izayoi, a Skywing was holding a white-clad girl who had lost consciousness and was covered in blood, while another girl was cowering behind the Skywing.

...I never expected that my brother would bring back a pair of albino girls after only a short trip out.

"Stop talking and quickly check their bodies."

"Ah...but..."

The two were not in a good state to delay, and Izayoi quickly pulled Homura back to her senses.

However, Homura still couldn't keep up with Izayoi's train of thought.

"There's no 'buts,' let's get checked first."

"...I'm not a doctor at all."

Homura, somewhat aggrieved, uttered the second half of her interrupted statement. Despite Izayoi's insistence, she still led the group to the workshop where the equipment was kept to inspect the Axe-wielding Rama.

The Destroyer didn't last long before losing consciousness, so Izayoi had no choice but to risk further damage to his fragile body by having the Skywing use coordinate teleportation to bring them back as soon as possible for treatment.

Although the originally planned trip to Greece was interrupted, the experience was undeniably rewarding.

If we can get the cooperation of the two of them, it should greatly advance Flame's nascent research.

On the other hand... Izayoi also received unexpected information.

While trafficking albinism patients, they use the bodies of these albinism-affected Black people as material to study the tissues of stellar particle bodies... They can also raise funds while conducting experiments, and even eat the flesh of these people who retain stellar particle bodies in pursuit of certain results.

This information was pieced together from conversations with Rama the Axe-Holder.

Aside from the fact that it involves stellar particles, everything else—from experiments to cannibalism—is exactly the same as the organization that Izayoi destroyed.

"Izayoi."

At this moment, Phra Phuttika and Mikado Shakten solemnly stepped forward.

"That thing you mentioned before... could you tell us about it? Although it may be difficult for you to talk about, any information could be crucial to us."

"Ha...Do I seem like someone who's too fragile to face the past..."

Izayoi rolled her eyes at Poritibi's question.

"However, the two were clearly unrelated before, because they could not have been the same organization."

"How was that determined?"

"Because we wiped out that entire organization back then."

The casual remark made by Izayoi not only surprised Pori Devi, but even made Mikado Shakuten raise his eyebrows.

Of course, they were not uncomfortable because of the act of 'killing everyone'.

However, based on their understanding of Izayoi, the boy would not resort to 'killing them all'... Although Izayoi is not incapable of killing, if he were to discover that cannibals were committing evil acts in groups, he would likely choose to expose all their crimes in detail, making it impossible for them to survive in society.

"It's impossible to investigate—that organization was personally dealt with by Canary, so it's impossible for them to be related to this incident."

"That sounds really thrilling."

Yumen Shiten gave a wry smile.

He wasn't sure if the canary had weakened after being exiled, but one thing was certain.

Even the weakest canary would find it easy to eradicate such an organization.

"Tch... Canary told me that even if I killed everyone, the war would not end. Nevertheless, I insisted on digging out the people involved to take revenge and completely expel those guys. But in the end, Canary's prophecy came true. The reason I was so shaken when I saw the host of the Axe-wielding Rama... well, that's why."

Izayoi shrugged and, somewhat dejected, expressed her thoughts.

For Izayoi, this level of extreme reaction was almost unprecedented, and there must have been many other events that influenced him in between.

Indeed, Izayoi still had much to say.

In that incident, he took away a life that, though not human, undeniably possessed intelligence for the first time; he gained a being called a close friend for the first time; and he tasted the bitterness of losing such a being for the first time.

Furthermore, at the age of thirteen, he also established his lifelong values.

The boy glanced with a complicated expression at the axe-wielding Rama that Saigo Homura was studying, and at another girl standing worriedly to the side, her eyes occasionally revealing genuine fear as she looked around at the equipment. He sighed.

"There is no similar organization in Greece. Although there are indeed anomalies, there is at least no trace of such human experimentation or evil organizations."

Just then, a calm and gentle voice gently broke in.

"Whether it's the observatory, my own exploration, or having the Skywing race investigate in person, the conclusion is the same."

Having his anxiety exposed, Izayoi looked at the person who had spoken in surprise... or rather, not only him, but also Mikado Shikuten and Poritibi had similar reactions.

"It's really surprising that you would do something like this on your own initiative."

"It's just a thought; I do it all the time."

Orpheus looked at Mikado Shiten with weary eyes, and the God-King seemed to sense a disdainful look in his gaze.

Izayoi pursed her lips.

"That's as if you want me to stop worrying about things here for now... So, what work do you need to do?"

"No, although it's probably hard to tell, even I am considerate of others."

"You know you can't tell, right...?"

Ignoring Mikado Shiten's complaints, Orpheus blinked.

"Greece is not important for now, Izayoi has sensed that too, right? For you, there are other issues that are more important right now."

"...Ahhh."

Izayoi scratched the back of her head and leaned against the wall in frustration.

Having gone through a series of events, he had accumulated a great deal of mental fatigue.
