The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Moreover, he also deeply felt the problem.

— He is still too weak to explore the issues he cares about right now.

Orpheus clearly wanted him to take some time to reflect and summarize his recent gains.

...In the end, this guy still felt that the tool was too weak and needed to hone his skills.

Izayoi harbored malicious suspicions about the other party's thoughts, but he didn't have the energy to care about such matters now.

He has to consider the entire history of humankind... If this dragon god can always remain correct, then there is no problem in following her instructions.

"Speaking of which, aren't you going to continue tracking down that Black Wind?"

At this point, Yumen Shiten changed the subject back to the main topic.

Orpheus shook his head.

"Anyway, she'll come out on her own eventually."

The nature of the Black Wind can block all interference... including observations from the observatory. Even Orpheus had to get close to see the true form of the Black Sky that was enveloped by the Black Wind at that time, not to mention the Black Wind personally controlled by the King of the Killer Race.

If it were that easy to find, it would have been found long ago.

The biggest achievement of this operation against Black Wind was probably learning... or rather, facilitating the return of the King of Killer Races.

According to the other party, the awakening of Gaia's youngest son should have come earlier... But whatever the order, the King of the Killer Race has no chance of obediently hiding and remaining silent. It is enough to know that the next great battle may be coming soon.

And the next one—it's very likely to be the final battle that even Orpheus himself will have to fight.

"However, there was another gain."

Orpheus snapped his fingers, and an unconscious blue-haired youth was thrown out of the golden ripples.

That was the body that had just been separated from Hei Tian.

Looking at his son, Yumen Shitian's lips twitched repeatedly.

"I'll leave this to Shitian. Let's prepare now."

Whether it's about the son or about Tianjun.

Mikado Shikuten, who had initially questioned Orpheus's sudden intervention in Izayoi's actions in the form of a suggestion, fell silent and finally sighed softly.

"Okay, I'll do it well."

"Prepare for the greatest war in the history of the Little Garden, which may very well surpass Star God, Dystopia and Seven Days."

—And the worst-case scenario: preparing for the possible decline that may befall us.

Chapter 778 Living Sacrifice

"They really do have star particles in their bodies..."

Saigo Homura was taken aback by the results of his test.

What followed was excitement.

"Sixteenth Brother, where did you find these two people?!"

"...More importantly, how are these two doing? How harmful are the stellar particles to their bodies? Can they be controlled or even eliminated?"

However, Izayoi immediately changed the subject.

His younger brother, though intelligent, was only just of high school age.

So... Izayoi doesn't plan to reveal detailed information about the two girls to Saigo Homura for the time being. Although he knows very well that this delay can't last long and it's only a matter of time before Homura finds out about this information, he'll at least put it off a little longer.

Teenagers are fundamentally unable to truly and completely trust others.

Homura seemed to sense Izayoi's thoughts and frowned, but at this moment, Izayoi's question was indeed more important.

"...It's hard to say, their situations are complicated, especially this one."

Saigo Homura pointed to the axe-wielding Rama, whose body was covered in blood.

"Both of them seem to have some degree of adaptability to the stellar particle body... I wonder if it's related to their albino Black identity, but let's put that aside for now. The one covered in blood seems to have even lower adaptability, plus their physical condition is already very poor..."

Saigo Homura paused at this point.

Even if Izayoi concealed the truth, Homura Saigo, who had roughly examined them, could still make a close-to-the-truth deduction.

This body is undoubtedly the result of inhumane torture.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Saigo Homura couldn't even imagine how many similar cases there were, given that he was able to expand his research to a practical stage in the years following his father's death.

The boy shook his head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

"Her physical condition is largely due to the Star Particle Body, but on the other hand, besides a power I can't understand, her survival to this day is undeniably aided by the Star Particle Body. How should we deal with this situation..."

Saigo Homura is currently quite powerless. After all, before this, the only information he had was a portion of his father's belongings, and it would be too difficult to ask him to enter actual combat now.

"Even if it's just suppression, is there a way to advance the research to a feasible level in a short period of time?"

—Since we have two existing cases.

Izayoi's meaning was clear, but Homura shook her head.

"With the two of them around, the research can indeed progress rapidly, but there are limits. These two people simply cannot withstand any kind of damage."

It would be much easier to study at least one of them with a ruthless approach or even just study the corpse, but Homura Saigo directly excluded such a topsy-turvy approach from his consideration.

"In short, I will try to start by suppressing the damage of the stellar particles to my body... As for the final result, I can only do my best."

Saigo Homura sighed and walked over to another girl who was relatively healthy and cowering to the side.

For him, persuading the girl to cooperate with the research is now the top priority.

Izayoi watched this scene with a complicated expression, and finally decided to leave without disturbing Saigo Homura.

Meanwhile, in another room, Mikado Shikuten and his two companions, along with Hisato Ayatori, were having a discussion.

Several people sat in a circle, with a world map on the table in the middle; the style of the map was quite normal.

Have you come to the answer?

Mikado Shiten looked at Orpheus with some excitement, while the latter nodded slowly.

"Human history has a time limit, which was a conclusion we all reached at the time."

The others nodded in agreement with Orpheus's opening remarks.

This is precisely their observation result, and also the goal they have been striving to achieve.

Of course, to break this problem, we must first find the source of the destruction.

"The answer is a volcanic eruption."

"..."

Yumen Shitian and the others frowned.

Because the appearance of the King of the Killer Race is related to Gaia, they have actually assumed the possibility of a planetary retaliation. This conclusion is not too unexpected. They have also examined the possibility in this regard, but without specific data, everything is just speculation.

Now it can finally be confirmed.

"What about it?"

Orpheus shut her mouth, and the Skywing race behind her stepped forward on their own.

"To be precise, it's a super Pliny-like volcanic eruption—humanity will perish due to the largest star breath in human history."

The highest level of volcanic activity is commonly known as a 'Caldera Volcano'.

The powerful planetary forces that erupt to create landforms are the largest and strongest natural disasters. Sometimes they can create new land, but sometimes they can destroy entire continents to pieces. The name 'Caldera' is derived from the shape of the scars left on the land after the eruption, which means a large pot or a large cup.

It is said that the torrent, with a power estimated to be three hundred billion times that of a nuclear weapon, would shatter the continents, raise dust to cover the sky and block out the sun, and finally cause an ice age lasting hundreds of years to cover the planet.

The Skywing species gave a detailed explanation in a pleasant, calm voice.

"This is the truth about the Hell's Furnace."

"So, you've already found the location of this giant cauldron?"

Mikado Shiten raised a question, while Orpheus nodded and pointed to a spot on the map on the table.

That's the waters off Japan, a country prone to earthquakes and natural disasters.

In a sense, it was not an unexpected position.

“Here, on the seabed, one can feel an abundance of stellar particle reactions.”

The confirmation of this answer came after perceiving and analyzing that location.

"When the gods moved the planet's artery from Western Europe to the far east, they must have already determined this future."

"An underwater volcano..."

Yumen Shiten still had a furrowed brow.

"Storms, floods, infectious diseases, radiation... Humanity has overcome all sorts of problems, is this the only one we are helpless against?"

"No."

Orpheus shook his head firmly.

"Next, we can piece together a complete picture based on confirmed intelligence, calculations from the observatory, and by retracing the past as much as possible."

The Skywing behind him immediately chimed in.

"A power that could destroy human history a hundred times over and still have more than enough to contend with is not something that humans can easily contend with with a little effort. It is the research of new energy that makes this impossible possible."

───Environmental control tower.

A man named Saigo made this proposal after discovering the new energy and also sensing the approaching destruction.

The so-called Tower of Babel for managing the planet.

That is a great human achievement that can only be accomplished by relying on new energy sources that can achieve perpetual motion.

"However—the future of humanity, which has gained the power to save mankind, using this power to destroy itself is thus sealed."

The Skywing race's words did not end there.

Those present were likely familiar with the consequences of this proposal.

That was the ultimate 'Final Trial for Humanity'—the three demon kings who would completely exterminate humanity.
