The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Final Volume

Chapter 875 The Approaching Appointed Day

At the top of the observatory, Orpheus sat in his assigned spot with his eyes closed.

Once her 'order' was established, there was actually very little left for her to do.

The next step is simply to continuously improve oneself in the most conventional way and to constantly strengthen defenses that may or may not be useful.

The original dragons agreed on a timeframe of five thousand years, so it would naturally use the Void Order's calendar. However, since the Little Garden is the main world that governs countless worlds, its timeline naturally needs to be synchronized with the Void.

The time Orpheus has spent so far is not actually that much... The remaining time is certainly not enough to guarantee a margin of error for retracing human history or finding other ways to become stronger, but proportionally speaking, there is ample leeway. It is not the kind of perilous situation where it is rushed to complete at the last minute like in a movie.

Even so, a sense of urgency still weighed on everyone's hearts.

Although Orpheus herself did not want to use her newly established home as a battlefield, unfortunately, she only had the right to face the Primal Dragon if she relied on the order of the Garden of Shadows.

The battlefield... must be a miniature garden.

And all life in the miniature garden is helplessly dragged into the water.

Orpheus couldn't even guarantee that the miniature garden would continue to exist after the battle.

“It is also the responsibility of those who hold order to bear all of this.”

Miss Evil Goddess stepped into the room where Orpheus was, completely disregarding her nature of being utterly incompatible with order, and exclaimed like a life mentor.

However, she wasn't just talking nonsense.

Theoretically, once the order of the void is mastered, one can control any situation in the void.

From the vast world to the smallest living beings, countless births and deaths occur every single moment.

Moreover, all these births and deaths are in the hands of 'order'.

To let a world that should have prosper decline, or to let a world that should have been destroyed be reborn... A single thought can change the fate of countless, or even all, lives.

This is 'order'—the responsibility that beings known as Dragon Gods must bear.

The same applies to the subsequent struggle for order.

Leaving aside the different situation on the side of the Primordial Dragon God, there is absolutely no room for failure on Orpheus's side.

If they fail, this tiny, spark-like order will undoubtedly be destroyed without leaving a trace.

"So... how about it? Are you confident now that you can uphold the banner of order?"

After her exclamation, the evil goddess then asked the dragon god, who in her eyes was still merely an 'apprentice'.

"I've done everything I could. If this still doesn't help you get back on your feet, I'll be in a real bind."

The first half of the story about the evil god is not unfounded either.

Without the help of the evil god, Orpheus might not have been able to reach this point so easily, almost without taking any detours or going astray.

In fact, the ability to maintain order and launch a counterattack in dealing with the decadent trend was partly due to this person's help.

The evil god had given Orpheus the opportunity to ask questions, but she didn't take the chance to inquire about the secrets of the void... such as the weaknesses of the primordial dragons. Instead, she simply engaged in a discussion of knowledge.

Although he was too engrossed in the conversation to immediately convey the information about the decadent trend, the benefits he gained far outweighed the disadvantage caused by the time difference. It can be said that Orpheus was able to fully fill in the theoretical knowledge required to achieve the goal of 'controlling order' precisely because of this conversation.

Originally, this knowledge might have required countless hours and visits to various worlds to analyze using the power of a simulated star map.

Moreover, even without any conversation, based solely on Orpheus's own reference ability, the gains from just one minute spent beside this evil god are more than what one could gain from analyzing the decadent winds through a simulated star map for an entire day.

The other party's nature made its simulated star-creating map eagerly seek it out.

To defeat the primordial dragon, all of its knowledge is indeed indispensable.

"Believe me, I don't need to say more. Compared to that Dragon God, you have almost no advantage. If you want to talk about weapons that you can use, no matter how hard you try, you can only have two at most. Not to mention the one that originally belonged to you, if you don't master the one that originally belonged to me, you will lose."

Seeing that Orpheus did not answer immediately, the evil god changed the subject as if to coerce him.

The gap between the two sides was clearly laid out.

Orpheus was indeed quite hardworking, but the Primal Dragon had worked just as hard and traversed countless times longer periods of time... It could even be said that if the Primal Dragon had a slightly weaker temperament, it might have become jealous of Orpheus's ability to reach this level in such a short time.

However, there are limits to how fast you can go, so naturally, there is still an insurmountable abyss between the two.

Having two weapons that are enough to pose a threat to the opponent is something to be proud of.

During this time, Orpheus was constantly honing her second 'weapon', the one that would allow her to cross the abyss.

Even so, it's still far from enough...

"Don't worry, I will be understanding."

Orpheus spoke calmly and firmly.

"—Whether it is 'all things' or 'nothingness,' my infinity can contain it all."

"……Yeah."

Upon hearing Orpheus's boastful words, the evil goddess, unusually, didn't say much, but instead walked to her seat with a sigh.

"The order of all things and my nothingness—if anyone had dared to claim they could control both of these forces simultaneously, they would have been considered a madman."

The evil god rested his chin on his hand.

"Hmm... If this really succeeds, your essence will be a level higher than both me and that guy are now. I really did give you, monster, the last straw. Ah, thinking about it this way, it's quite an accomplishment."

"It should be more satisfying to be called a monster by you."

Orpheus responded calmly, while the evil god narrowed his eyes with interest.

"Not bad, you can even joke around now. The influence of order on you is getting smaller and smaller, isn't it?"

The dragon goddess blinked. Although her eyes hadn't returned to their usual state, they were no longer as cold as they had been in previous years. Recently, Norns had become much more comfortable talking to her.

—Orpheus's understanding and affinity for order have been constantly improving over the years, so he should be getting closer to the form of the primordial dragon.

But without realizing it, she seemed to have changed direction at a fork in the road.

I just don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

However, Orpheus also knew the reason for the fork in the road... also stemming from that second weapon.

In terms of the 'universal' order, Orpheus cannot compare with the Primal Dragons, but the higher level of 'infinity' that the Primal Dragons do not possess gives her the possibility of resistance.

This is the first weapon that Orpheus is most familiar with.

The second one... naturally comes from the evil god before us, a power that even the primordial dragon lacks.

— It is something more advanced than decadence, or it can be said to be the very source of decadence: 'nothingness'.

If we're talking about the primordial dragons' most formidable powers, then besides Orpheus, it's this evil god.

"But don't get carried away just because you think you have a good hand. That guy has probably already noticed my involvement... no, rather, my involvement has been part of her calculations from the very beginning. After all, just as I know her well, she knows me very well too."

Then the evil god seemed to remember something and spoke up, while observing Orpheus's expression.

Orpheus raised her eyes slightly. Although she didn't have the energy to be complacent, the information the evil god had just said was quite important.

In terms of intelligence, it's basically certain that we have no advantage whatsoever, and it's impossible for us to use any new tricks to outmaneuver the opponent.

Even these little tricks have been sealed off, and there is a despair-inducing difference in combat strength between the two sides.

However, since we chose this path, we must fight.

This is also for everyone who helped me get to this point, including Enkidu and Norns in the past, the two goddesses and Baiye now... and even the evil god in front of me. They have all paid a lot, or even everything, for this.

"It's alright, we can win."

Therefore, there is only one answer she can give.

The evil god's lips curled up slightly.

“Very good… As expected of someone who was able to block my ‘nothingness’ as soon as they took control of the order. So, you probably understand why I made a special trip here to ask you so many questions, right?”

"Yes, it's about time."

Orpheus nodded slightly.

"───Five thousand years have passed since the original agreement."

Chapter 876 The Invading Order

In the void, a figure stared indifferently into the distance.

"Has order been cut in two?"

The being known as the Primordial Dragon spoke softly, seemingly devoid of emotion.

An endless stream of information flooded her mind, assaulting her nerves with the pain of her body being torn apart.

—However, she didn't show any of this.

Or rather, it's no longer possible to express it.

She simply analyzed the situation calmly and methodically.

I don't know what her mindset was at the time, but she gave that child a chance to live.

And then, for reasons unknown, she truly refrained from making a move for five thousand years.

The result of constant hesitation is what we see today, where a piece of order has been fragmented.

In fact, the order on both sides is no different, the rules are the same, and they can even be seamlessly connected.

However, this cannot change the fact that the order has indeed been disrupted.

If only it had been resolved sooner—the Primal Dragon's current mental state didn't even allow it to have feelings of regret like this.

Faced with this anomaly, all she needed to think about was how to solve it.

...That's how it should have been.

However, there are other discordant noises.

She knew that it was the battlefield that the child had painstakingly built.

Even though that small world cluster seemed incredibly fragile to her, it was still a feat that even the powerful beings in the void dared not even dream of.

At the same time, it is also a direct response to her unreasonable 'order'.
