The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Chapter 861 Dragon God and Evil God

Even Norns was taken aback when he heard Orpheus's request.

The Dragon Goddess did indeed know of the existence of the evil god. After the threat of the Decadent Wind first manifested, Norns confessed some of the facts to it.

Of course, there's much more that's being concealed.

This includes the cost and some of the other party's personality issues.

And at the tea party not long ago, she also chose to remain hidden.

For her, even a little bit would be fine; if these extraneous noises affected Orpheus, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

But unexpectedly, Orpheus brought it up at this moment.

However, her words were somewhat vague, and it was unclear whether she had just thought of the evil god or had realized what had happened before.

Although common sense suggests that such a 'coincidence' is too much of a coincidence, and the latter possibility is likely higher, Norns finds it hard to imagine that the evil god's whereabouts would be discovered so easily.

Even though her behavior when she returned from Orpheus was indeed unusual, she was also quite certain that the guy hadn't left any trace.

"Norn was just with that person, wasn't he?"

However, Orpheus's next question shattered Norns's idea.

"..."

She carefully examined the dragon girl sitting on the other side, only to see that the other girl was tilting her head and blinking, seemingly genuinely puzzled.

This left Norns unsure whether the guy was being sarcastic or mocking about his concealment.

Regardless of the circumstances, it's a fact that the little secret I had just hidden has been discovered.

How did you find out?

She didn't even care that she was the one being questioned first, and quickly asked a question in return.

"There's something wrong with Norns, and there's something wrong with the room we just left."

Orpheus, however, answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Something feels off?"

This time, Norns wanted to put on the same puzzled expression as Orpheus had just done.

"That's it?"

"Ah."

Orpheus nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"The small garden also has this feeling, very faint... and the decadent atmosphere is also very strong."

Upon hearing Orpheus's statement, Norns frowned, feeling as if he had discovered the problem.

"Hmm, right, the decline of this decadent trend is also related to that person, isn't it?"

Orpheus's final blow caused her lips to twitch involuntarily.

However, she didn't have time to say anything more.

"I see, so you were able to find me."

A familiar yet chilling voice drifted slowly from the side.

Norns looked over with displeasure and, as expected, saw the black-haired girl sitting calmly in the seat that had originally belonged to Bai Ye, next to the two of them, with various tea snacks and food laid out on the table.

Judging from the packaging, they should all be products of Ether City.

...So this guy disappeared a second before Orpheus returned and then went shopping during the break.

Wait, did she really pay?

Ignoring Norns's chaotic thoughts, the evil goddess girl still held a skewer of meat from some unknown creature in her right hand, while slowly raising her left hand.

Then, make a V-sign and place it near your left eye.

"The cutest and most reliable evil god in the entire void, she came right away as soon as she heard the call, hehe."

It must be said that Norns greatly admired this person's ability to complete that incomprehensible chant with a completely expressionless and flat tone.

And judging from the fact that this guy is still chewing food, his pronunciation is quite clear.

"Well, I guess you could say this is our first meeting, although I'm probably quite familiar with you."

Then, the evil god greeted Orpheus normally as if nothing had happened.

The latter obediently nodded.

"Yes, nice to meet you."

"..."

Norns felt an urge to cover his face.

If she could, she would prefer that the two of them never see each other again.

Of course, she knew this was just wishful thinking. As long as Orpheus continued to grow, their meeting was only a matter of time... However, she never expected their first meeting to be under such circumstances.

This atmosphere makes even a blind date seem more believable than a meeting between some evil god or dragon god.

Besides, she also deeply felt that... everything was now out of her control.

Thinking of this, Norns's gaze toward the evil god became more displeased and suspicious.

Although it's unclear to what extent Orpheus knows the information, he can choose not to show himself regardless.

In fact, this is also the other party's consistent approach, minimizing their involvement in this way.

And now...

Clearly, this evil god's interest in Orpheus had outweighed her own insistence, which stemmed from her perverse sense of humor.

Norns doesn't think this is good news.

While she was still worried about Orpheus, the evil god girl had already started sharing the pile of snacks with the dragon god girl, which may or may not have come from legitimate transactions.

Well, she really couldn't figure out how these two guys thought.

"That's why you're cuter now."

The evil goddess girl suddenly turned around and teased.

But that consistently flat tone of voice neither made Norns understand it nor amused her.

Moreover, the feeling of having one's thoughts controlled is truly uncomfortable.

"Stop talking nonsense. There must be a reason why you showed up so readily, right?"

"Spit it out if you have something to say..." Norns's words carried an extremely unfriendly message.

Little did she know that this change in attitude only intensified the evil god's interest.

While Norns had never been particularly friendly to her, he wouldn't have gone to such an extreme degree.

"Those are really hurtful words. I only came here because I heard you calling me."

"Then you should pretend to be sad so I can take a picture to remember the occasion."

Ignoring Norns's complaints, the evil goddess girl turned her gaze to Orpheus.

"Of course, this is a reward for you, after all, you worked very hard."

As far as Norns knew, the 'effort' this evil god spoke of was roughly equivalent to 'the degree to which one pleases oneself'.

“I didn’t intend to leave any traces this time—since I didn’t intend to, then I won’t leave any traces.”

And the evil girl automatically began to explain.

"But since you were able to discover it under these circumstances, it means you've basically mastered that power, right?"

The evil god narrowed his eyes at Orpheus, and as if reacting to this gaze, the white light emanating from the simulated star map on Orpheus's body flickered slightly.

It's like... it's a threat.

"Order, it's still so irreconcilable with me."

The evil god's gaze swept over the white light, and he uttered a emotionless sigh.

Then, her gaze returned to Orpheus's eyes.

"But you don't seem to hate me, even though you possess that power."

Her words made Orpheus tilt his head slightly in confusion.

"No, there's no need to hate it."

"Is that so? That's a pity. It seems that the Order doesn't have your magnanimous attitude."

The evil god tilted his head, equally expressionless.

It must be said that Orpheus's face already bore a resemblance to Norns, and Norns's appearance was exactly the same as this evil god. When the two made the same movements, they had a somewhat mirror-like feeling, like twins.

"In short, I'm definitely becoming more and more interested in you."

The two riddle-like figures in Norns stared at each other for a while, and then the evil god suddenly drew a conclusion.

"So, you can bring it up now—whatever your request or question, as a reward, I'll listen carefully now."

Chapter 862 The Fork in the Road Imminent

In the particle research institute 'Yumir', Izayoi leaned wearily against the wall in the corridor, looked at the ceiling, and let out a long sigh.

"You must have worked really hard."

The boy wasn't surprised by the voice that suddenly appeared beside him; he just pursed his lips.

"Is it similar where you are?"

"Haha, we're alright."

The monkey girl, who was also leaning against the wall next to Izayoi, had a smile on her face.

"After all, we've already decided to stick to the existing mistakes on many issues... which is probably more advantageous for you as well."
