The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

The dragon goddess girl responded with her eyes closed.

"However, this is the shortest route."

Humans should not rely on gods.

Whether or not to rely on the sacrifice of a few to benefit the majority is a choice they should make themselves... and they should take responsibility for their choices.

Those two girls were the seeds of absolute evil.

Not to mention humans, Orpheus doesn't have much time left either.

There was no time for humanity to face absolute evil again after overcoming the greatest crisis.

Only by using human power to put human history on the right path can humanity's future be extended sustainably, and the sandbox will fully achieve its order by fulfilling its mission.

Whether humans can achieve this in one step... depends on Izayoi's abilities.

Orpheus will also do his job well.

When the dragon goddess opened her eyes again, what she saw reflected in her eyes was the four-figure city of ether.

Here, support from above is gathering, and the troops, still recovering from the demon king's claw marks, have already stood up again and are ready to go.

However, for the Dragon God now, he can no longer... nor does he need to continue to rely entirely on these warriors.

Not interfering with humanity does not mean standing aside; even gods have their own wars.

The crimson of the sword Ea, now, countless years after its initial attack on Azdahar, shines anew under the banner of Order.

Chapter 780 The Final Countdown

The scene before us is undoubtedly worthy of being called hell on earth.

It was an underground breeding farm located in a conflict zone.

Led by Canary, Izayoi stumbles upon a human trafficking operation by a radical religious group seeking funding for their activities, thus becoming entangled in an incident exposed by the attack on albino teenagers.

This underground facility, which is so dark that even sunlight cannot reach it, has an unknown amount of investment in its construction. It covers an area that is almost the size of a small city, enough for the humans being raised to live there.

However... those events happened just ten minutes ago.

The zookeepers in the farm were basically crushed beyond recognition, becoming corpses lying to the side.

Izayoi took a step forward at the scene of the dismemberment, which had turned into a sea of ​​blood, crushing the shattered pieces of the corpse. Although it was the first time he had taken a life, he felt no remorse or sense of immorality.

Instead, the unease that filled my chest and the indescribable hatred I felt far outweighed the actual feeling of losing a life.

Even though she was young, Izayoi could immediately tell that this place was a human processing facility.

An artificial hell specially built for a group of non-humans who wanted to experience 'eating intelligent beings'.

Human internal organs are frozen and preserved haphazardly, with labels indicating not only the destination but also specific instructions on which part brings good luck and how to cook it safely.

"Raising humans, then processing and shipping them out?"

Izayoi let out a dry laugh as she analyzed the situation.

He himself suggested that he wanted to see the most desolate battlefield in the world.

If the answer is indeed this artificial hell, then it is certainly the most suitable solution.

A place where there is no proof of life, no record of death, and no one pays attention to the cries of a newborn, is nothing more than a corner of hell where even human dignity is not allowed... perhaps even lower than hell itself.

Such sins were enough to drive Izayoi, who was originally very self-controlled, to use force in a fit of rage.

He suppressed his indescribable discomfort and wandered aimlessly around the facility.

“───Waaah…”

Although the sound was so faint that it seemed it might disappear at any moment, it did not reach Izayoi's ears. He rushed over and grabbed the doorknob.

However, his movements suddenly stopped.

The sound coming from behind the door was very faint. Even if he rushed over, the other person might not be saved... Besides, what could he do if he went there?

Izayoi has achieved her goal of seeing Hell, so there is no need for her to stay here any longer.

He always felt that if he took another step forward, he would shoulder something beyond his imagination.

In this seemingly collapsing underground breeding facility, only Izayoi's own breathing and the breathing sounds coming from behind the door could be heard.

Standing in front of the door, Izayoi was unable to move and could only gasp for breath.

However, the next second...

"───Save me."

The cries for help, clearer than ever before, made Izayoi reflexively step forward.

Even now, many years later, he still doesn't understand why he did that back then.

The boy opened the door almost unconsciously.

Izayoi, who had moved forward without any mental preparation, suffered a wound here that would haunt her for the rest of her life.

But he didn't regret it.

Izayoi Sakamaki paid the price of a lifetime of pain—in this hellish place, she met her lifelong best friend.

"—Damn it, is there no way to stop it?!"

The boy, who was a candidate for the original text, lost his usual self-control and anxiously questioned Saigo Homura.

Before his eyes, another girl, who should have been in better health, was now convulsing and feverish. Izayoi hurriedly moved her to the experimental table, but everyone was helpless.

Undeterred by the impending doom, the same phenomenon occurred in the body used by Rama the Axe-Wielder.

"I don't even know why it suddenly got worse?!"

Saigo Homura almost burst into tears. He did have some theoretical knowledge of stellar particle bodies, but that didn't mean he could directly apply it without any transition.

Not to mention that the current situation is definitely not normal. As for Axe-Holding Rama, it's one thing, but this child was originally in good spirits. The current symptoms are too sudden, and it's too coincidental that the child and Axe-Holding Rama are having problems at the same time.

"Damn it, is it some kind of self-destruct mechanism?"

Izayoi gritted her teeth.

He hadn't missed the information from Orpheus earlier. This girl was probably being manipulated to be the root cause of the Heavenly Ox phenomenon. Whether from the perspective of experimental results or biological weapons, her importance was extraordinary. It was perfectly normal for her to prepare some kind of mechanism to destroy what was lost.

Although neither Izayoi nor Saigo Homura had any related expectations... if things continued like this, the girl would probably lose her life and all the research results preserved in her body would be destroyed. If Kurokami were here and rejected the plan to attack Saigo Homura, he would probably want to risk everything to avoid this situation.

The problem lies in the method and means of containment. If it were something like poison, it would be easier to solve, but this was clearly achieved through the use of stellar particles, which is an area that Izayoi and the others are unfamiliar with. It is also a method that the other party is confident in that they can ensure that the secret does not fall into the hands of others.

"Is it really too early now?"

Yumen Shiten, who had somehow joined the group at the back, sighed softly.

Under the machinations of Orpheus and the Black Heaven, Izayoi and Saigo Homura, at a far too immature stage, are forced to come into contact with this child who is deeply connected to new energy and absolute evil.

If we look at it in a positive light, this does give the two teenagers more time, but it may also backfire due to their immaturity.

Moreover, he has no way to prepare for unexpected situations like the one we are in now, or to steer things in the direction he wants.

"This is it!"

However, Homura Saigo lived up to his reputation as a talented individual whose research abilities even Izayoi admired. After a flurry of activity, he managed to find the root of the problem.

Those were the handcuffs and shackles that were always on the girl's wrists.

Although the chains had been destroyed by the Destroyers, the restraints had penetrated deep into the girl's flesh... It was initially thought that this was because they had been installed when the girl was young, but now it seems there is a deeper and more disgusting reason.

"These restraints seem to be guiding and accelerating the stellar particles within the two individuals, causing their host bodies to melt."

Saigo Homura made a judgment, then looked troubled.

"I've read quite a bit about the human body and surgery, so it's not impossible to put this kind of knowledge into practice, but given the current situation..."

While the axe-wielding Rama was alright, a significant amount of particle matter remained within the other girl's body. If she moved around recklessly in this berserk state, it could lead to a real explosion, potentially endangering not only the girl but also the surrounding area and even the entire city.

"Ugh, really."

Izayoi rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and glared at the Orpheus clone following behind Mikado Shiten.

"This situation was within your expectations, wasn't it? I'd like to receive an advance on my payment. Since we've already come this far, it's okay if I sell you some of the future items."

As a reward for defeating Azdaha, Orpheus has returned the original banner to Nameless, along with some of the permissions promised at the time. However, in addition to this, Orpheus also has a larger-scale 'commission' for Izayoi.

For the sake of the two girls who were destined for destruction, Izayoi now demands that reward.

Orpheus only intervened in the most minimal way with humanity, but if it were a matter of equal exchange, that would be a different story. If one could get a god to willingly intervene, that would be a human skill.

However, this also means that Izayoi has no way back.

—Although he never intended to turn back anyway.

The miracle sought with unwavering faith did not disappoint the boy's expectations. After Orpheus nodded slightly, he emitted a faint white light—simply by being touched by the white light, the two girls' pained expressions quickly eased.

Izayoi was also illuminated by the white light. He could clearly feel that the power within him seemed clearer and more orderly under the white light, and at the same time, he felt a sense of being embraced.

A moment later, the white light subsided.

The dragon goddess girl's body also became extremely thin.

"Two years."

Orpheus spoke softly.

"This is your only remaining time to prepare."

Although there are still more than fifteen years until the deadline, it is not necessary to wait until the very last moment to decide whether it can be achieved within the deadline.

Even if the chances of success for humans are immeasurable, the gods will not gamble without seeing the probability of success.

Moreover... two years from now, it won't just be humans who will have to decide their survival.

So, keep up the good work until then.

Leaving behind these words, the target of which was unclear, Orpheus's avatar vanished from this world.

Chapter 781 The Second War

"Are you sure everything's okay...?"

Looking at the syringe and the clear liquid inside, which was being held by another boy, Saigo Homura still looked somewhat uneasy.
