The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Norns frowned slightly, while the two goddesses and the others felt they couldn't get a word in edgewise in the atmosphere.

The main problem is insufficient knowledge; I can't keep up with the topics.

However, regardless of whether this is normal or not, Orpheus did indeed undergo some changes after that battle, according to this suspicious evil god.

After a long silence, Norns slowly spoke:

“You overestimate me. Although I was killed by that guy once, it was purely a killing... Yes, there was no real fighting, just a one-sided killing. So I don’t know much about His power—his understanding of order. And I can only make some guesses about Orpheus’s current situation.”

Norns sighed as he watched the dragon goddess girl turn her head slightly as a habit upon hearing her words.

“You’re right. The Orpheus I’m seeing now… is just too similar to the primordial dragon I saw back then, and that makes me very uneasy.”

Norns' words contained a great deal of information, which surprised both the two goddesses and Bai Ye.

However, Norns had not finished speaking when she met the evil god's gaze without looking away.

"Although this is probably outside the scope of the contract, I would appreciate it if you could explain it."

"Snapped!"

Upon hearing Norns' words, the evil goddess girl clapped her hands while still circling Orpheus.

"Yes, isn't it easier and cuter to be more honest like this?"

"I have no obligation to cater to your sexual fetishes."

Norns grimaced in displeasure, while the evil god nodded in agreement.

"That's true, and there's no need for that. After all, if you had asked this little dragon the same question, she would have answered you very seriously."

"……what?"

Norns paused for a moment after hearing the words of the evil god before him, then looked at Orpheus.

Although the latter remained expressionless, he nodded after noticing Norns' slightly puzzled gaze.

"Yes, Norns' question is not unanswerable for me."

"Uh, then... no..."

Norns rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

As she just said, the current Orpheus is so similar to that primordial dragon that Norns even superimposed their images.

This made her subconsciously regard Orpheus as a primordial dragon.

If it were that primordial dragon... it would need a sufficient reason to do anything.

Incidentally, 'the two are acquainted' probably isn't a valid reason for that guy.

But upon closer reflection, Orpheus didn't seem to have gone that far; he did maintain a minimum level of basic communication with them.

So...she's overthinking it?

"How's it going? Is it almost done?"

While Norns was still in a daze, the evil god, still pressed against Orpheus, asked softly.

"It's still messy, but I can think more clearly now."

Hearing Orpheus's matter-of-fact answer, the girl hanging behind her narrowed her eyes.

"Yeah……"

As the low murmur subsided, the anomaly erupted at that moment.

For the two goddesses, they couldn't even react to what had happened immediately.

By the time they realized it, the sirens were already blaring throughout the city.

The Heavenly Army Fortress, still under wartime conditions and the most heavily guarded in the entire Box Garden, was thrown into turmoil... even chaos.

The entire fortress's defensive barrier, including parts of the central tower, vanished completely without any warning, and the top of the tower—the outer wall of the meeting room where everyone was located—was completely demolished.

"What...just happened..."

Bai Ye frowned deeply.

Although it seemed that a slight fluctuation of power was indeed sensed, there was no chance to react before things turned out like this.

"I just wanted to test it out a bit. Don't worry, I'll compensate you. But you'll have to appease your subordinates yourselves."

At this moment, the seemingly calm and collected evil goddess girl stood up, and the surrounding environment returned to its original state.

Without waiting for anyone else to react, she stroked her chin and began to think to herself.

"You couldn't hide it like that just now. Well, since we've come this far, let's just let it go. Compared to this..."

After muttering to herself for a moment, she quickly looked at Orpheus.

Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips, much to Norns's horrified gaze.

"Not bad, you little dragon... no, should I call you Apprentice Dragon God now? That guy Order really didn't misjudge you. Or rather, was I the one who misjudged you at first? Not bad, not bad. The void is indeed not lacking in interesting elements like you."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

At this point, Norns finally realized what was happening and stood up angrily.

She was probably the only one among the 'weaker group' present who knew exactly what this evil god had just done.

Only she knew how dangerous that moment was.

"Didn't I just say that I was just testing the waters? The result is more important than what I mean?"

The evil goddess answered Norns, but her gaze remained fixed on Orpheus, a smile playing on her lips.

"You've really taken control of the order."

Chapter 872 The Secret of the Primordial Dragon

The order in the void was established by the primordial dragon god.

This is no secret to dragonkin like the primordial dragons or powerful deities like Norns in the past. Even those who rose through the ranks by unorthodox means can find ways to learn about this information once they reach a certain level.

That's why no one would even consider challenging that primordial dragon.

No one knows how she managed to cover the void with her order in the first place, but since it is now a fait accompli, it means that the power now equivalent to the entire void can be used at any time.

No one can rival him.

There were already certain rules in the original void, and now those rules have been incorporated into the order. It can be said that no matter what power other beings possess, they cannot escape the scope of the order.

It gives you the feeling that no matter how you turn over it, you're still ultimately inside the Five Finger Mountain.

Talking about differences in strength is meaningless. That being is already a dimension higher than all other beings, almost on par with the void.

Therefore, it is only natural that it makes people unable to muster any resistance.

However, there was one person, and only one person, who scoffed at this.

"That guy is by no means invincible; rather, he has far too many weaknesses."

The girl, with her arms crossed, spoke eloquently, completely ignoring the atmosphere that had suddenly turned icy due to her earlier outburst.

Her gaze remained fixed on Orpheus.

"You should understand this by now."

"……Um."

Orpheus nodded slowly, still seemingly somewhat hesitant.

"However, this is only from my perspective..."

"It's the same for that guy. Although at her level, she can process far more intelligence than you are now without using the simulated star map, it still won't be 'infinite'."

The evil god interrupted Orpheus as if he knew what she was about to say.

"Although under normal circumstances, that guy could handle the power of order without any problems, there is always a limit. I don't know if it was to push that 'limit' to the extreme, or if it was due to his own sense of responsibility or some other reason, but in any case, that primordial dragon god was too deeply integrated with order."

"Too deeply integrated with order..."

Norns, no longer concerned with pursuing the girl's sudden attack, frowned and pondered deeply after hearing her words.

She didn't know what she was like in the past, but this was the first time she had heard this kind of statement.

According to this commentator, whose credibility is questionable, 'too deep an integration' doesn't seem to be a good thing.

But generally speaking, it's the opposite. The closer one is to the concept they represent, the more adept they become at using it. For people of their level, this can even affect their own life level... In the terms of a miniature garden, it's called spiritual level.

Alpha is the beginning, Omega is the end, the White Night is the primordial star that condenses the total mass of the universe, and the Geism theory and the Decadent Wind almost represent 'nothingness' itself... These beings standing at the top of the pyramid in the miniature garden can basically be equated with the concepts they represent.

It could be said that it is precisely because they have done this that they are able to stand at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, Bai Ye did not understand the evil god's statement, and similarly, the others did not understand it either.

In addition to not understanding, there was even a slight thought that 'maybe the path I took in the past was wrong.'

For the two goddesses and others who have lived for an unknown amount of time, they don't even care much about their own death. If there is anything they truly pursue... it is only the view from the highest point.

So, although rationally speaking, there was almost no credibility about the guy in front of them... however, they were still helplessly attracted by the knowledge he spoke of, which was likely a level higher than their own, without any other information channels.

And... some inexplicable fear.

Their thoughts, of course, could not escape the eyes of the evil god.

The girl in black seemed to thoroughly enjoy taking in the expressions of everyone present before shrugging.

"Don't worry too much. There's nothing wrong with this approach itself. Whoever comes here, as long as their goal is the same as that guy's, they'll make the same choice... Well, including myself. Since we can't find a better option if the goal remains the same, I just never intended to do something so thankless from the beginning."

The girl pursed her lips as she spoke.

"In short, in terms of the outcome, that dragon god and the Order are now so closely intertwined that they can't distinguish one from the other. This isn't a metaphor; from my observations in my spare time, that guy really does seem to be showing signs of dementia lately..."

As she spoke, she winked at Orpheus.

"She didn't attack you directly at the time, which must have been one of the rare moments when she was sober."

"..."

The girl's words were quite unclear, and it was unclear whether she did it on purpose or whether this so-called evil god simply thought differently from ordinary people.

However, those present still possessed the knowledge and intelligence to fill in the gaps in this information.

"Ahem, so that means that guy called Primal Dragon can no longer distinguish between order and self... or rather, her self has been gradually swallowed up by order, right?"
