The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Jin Gu was still somewhat surprised when he caught a glimpse of the pit next to him out of the corner of his eye.

If it were Hercules's work, then Kingo would be acceptable... after all, visually it's perfectly fine, and Hercules's only Noble Phantasm so far is physical... but on the contrary, all of this is the result of Artira's actions.

Known for his titles such as "King of Destruction" and "Scourge of God," King Attila of the Huns was a figure even King Kinko knew about, despite his knowledge of the future. However, she couldn't comprehend how a Heroic Spirit who had risen from an ordinary person could achieve the ability to unleash a low-level Noble Phantasm with every attack.

Add to that the threat of god-slaying power...

Unusually, Jin Gu did not feel any murderous intent. Instead, he was filled with curiosity, like a child seeing something new.

Before King Gu's eyes, Hercules' heart wound had just healed, clearly having just lost his life. Altira, on the other hand, was also covered in wounds, though his wounds were slowly healing, albeit at a slow pace.

On the other hand, Jin Yong and Gu Long were completely unharmed.

In fact, if it weren't for Arjuna's interference, Altira might have already returned to Valhalla, and Hercules probably wouldn't be in much better shape either.

If the fight continues like this, there is no doubt that Jin Gu will win.

This outcome is not because Jin Yong's strength far surpasses that of the three combined.

Altira frowned, staring at King.

It must be said that the 'snake' Orpheus gave her was quite powerful.

Altira's attack power is quite strong. If she really gets serious, her normal attacks alone are at the level of a third-rate Noble Phantasm, despite her title of "Destruction Queen"... but that has a big flaw.

Her physical strength is limited.

If they really went all out, Altira could only hold out for half an hour at most, which is why Altira never showed this destructive side.

However, things changed after the 'snake' came into being.

For Servants like Altira, infinite mana doesn't really mean much... In fact, since they can draw mana from Orpheus at any time, their mana is already infinite. But infinite mana is only enough for them to infinitely activate Noble Phantasms and skills, and it doesn't help much with the essence of combat—a Servant's Spirit Origin is just a vessel, and the size of the vessel is determined at the time of summoning. Simply infusing mana cannot increase it.

However, the power bestowed by the snake not only grants limitless magic, but also greatly enhances physical strength and mental fortitude.

When the power of the 'serpent' is activated in battle, Altira can feel a continuous surge of power flowing from her body, and even a constant flow of energy to heal her wounds!

However, they still lost to the green-haired girl in front of them.

The reason is simple... their response speed wasn't as fast as the other's.

In the battle just now, Kingu adopted a strategy of trading blows from the very beginning. Originally, Altira and Hercules were not afraid... The snake's regenerative ability, along with the Twelve Trials, gave her the confidence to outlast her opponent. However, by the time Altira realized that Kingu's wounds could heal instantly, she had already been dragged into the opponent's rhythm.

Altira's combat experience was far inferior to her opponent's... While it's hard to imagine anyone matching her combat experience, Altira's experience was mainly limited to situations where her opponents were much smaller than herself and where she could completely overwhelm them, and that experience was rather vague.

At least in this type of battle, Altira is far inferior to Kingo, who is a weapon of the Age of Gods.

Fortunately, Arjuna was capable enough to forcibly separate the two sides in the moment of crisis, giving Altira and Hercules a chance to regroup.

Having failed to eliminate the threat in one fell swoop, the upcoming battle will likely be even more troublesome... Even so, Jin Gu's expression remained quite calm, her golden eyes showing no ripples, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.

Neither Altira nor Hercules had the habit of pre-battle banter, and Kingu, unlike before, did not verbally display the superiority of the new humans; his palm once again transformed into a blade composed of golden energy.

Suddenly, the gold faded from Jin Gu's eyes, and Jin Gu's expression changed drastically, completely unlike his calm demeanor no matter what had just happened.

"Damn it, how is this possible? How could I..."

Before he could finish speaking, King had already turned into a streak of light and streaked across the sky, leaving Altira and Hercules completely bewildered.

The goddess Gorgon was now covered in wounds.

Naturally, Ritsuka did not accept Gorgon's proposal... or rather, the proposal itself was strange. Ritsuka had no tragic background or a past where she was abandoned by everyone. Gorgon's antisocial remarks had no point of resonance with her at all. He could not persuade her, let alone sway her.

Standing at the rear of the column, Ritsuka commanded fifty-seven soldiers to launch an attack on Gorgon... This was not difficult for her. When one can boss around the lion head that represents the will of all American presidents, it is naturally no pressure to order some soldiers who, although powerful, are not particularly great.

Everyone initially thought that these fifty-seven people could only be used to clear the way and would be useless against the goddess, but reality quickly proved them wrong.

Purple energy flowed along the warriors' weapons and into Gorgon's wounds.

Gorgon's originally powerful regeneration ability has been significantly reduced!

What do vampires fear most? Garlic? Crosses? Sun? Holy light? They have all of those, but powerful beings can be immune to them to a certain extent. And the only thing that can truly restrain vampires... is the higher-ranking vampires.

The same principle applies to dragons and snakes.

Warriors with the dragon power of Orpheus are the most powerful weapon against Gorgon!

Gorgon struggled to get rid of these annoying flies first, but the combined defense of Mash and Jeanne was so impenetrable that Gorgon, whose divinity had been greatly diminished, was unable to break through.

Riding a white steed galloping through the sky, Lily's silver spear gleamed with a dazzling golden light.

"Rhongomyniad!"

Golden beams of light poured down.

In the end, amidst the brilliance of the Holy Lance, Gorgon was pierced through the heart, and the Holy Lance continued its relentless advance, destroying the throne behind Gorgon as well.

Gorgon's movements stopped for a moment.

Is this the only way it can end? — This thought flashed through her mind.

But soon, the flames of revenge consumed such thoughts.

"It's not over yet! I want revenge! I want revenge on this world! I will utterly destroy and burn all of you who abandoned me!"

As if in response to her words, the entire Blood Temple trembled and began to slowly collapse...

"how is this possible?"

Ritsuka and the others were all taken aback.

The destruction of the throne signifies the imminent annihilation of divinity, making it virtually impossible for Gorgon to continue living.

but……

"It's not over yet; her wounds are still healing."

Although Quetzal did not participate in the battle, he observed it quite carefully.

The collapse continues; is she trying to drag them all down with her? If the situation continues to worsen, she'll have to intervene, even at the cost of her own divinity...

“This level… I am the primordial goddess Tiamat… I can hear my mother’s voice… I must take her place, take revenge, I must complete this…”

Gorgon was already somewhat incoherent, but her power had not stopped, until…

*Pfft*

A sharp blade pierced his body, and blood spurted out.

Chapter 101 Dragon and Serpent

"The outposts in the south have begun to lose contact."

"According to the last intelligence transmitted back from each outpost, it appears that we have been attacked by an unknown creature."

"Where is the strength?"

"I'm not sure, but the number is very large."

"Hmph, can there be more than monsters?"

"Although each report was very brief and fragmented, combining the final intelligence from all the outposts, it was absolutely certain that the threat posed by the enemy was no less than that of magical beasts, especially considering that this time the enemy appeared in the south..."

"...What should we do then? The king didn't build the south wall, did he?"

"Not only that, the only troops we can mobilize are the basic city guards, and those numbers are barely enough to withstand even one attack by monsters."

"Where are the king's personal troops?"

"It seems that to prevent such a situation, Wang also transferred one of the teams back to the city before he left..."

"Can't we let them go?"

"Do you think we can mobilize those people? Even if we could, what use would a hundred people be?"

"But the south is a crucial region for controlling logistics; if it falls..."

"Instead of worrying about the south, we should think about how to hold onto Uruk. Judging from the order in which the outposts lost contact, the enemy is heading straight this way!"

"Why did the king... at such an important time..."

At this moment, inside the pyramid temple in Uruk, several people dressed in priestly robes were having a tense discussion.

Although the discussion was quite calm and rational, without any heated arguments or shouting, their expressions revealed their anxiety and unease.

Uruk's defenses have always been focused on the north, but now a mysterious, unknown enemy army has suddenly appeared in the south, and the situation has become critical in an instant.

These people may not seem very prominent normally, but as the ruling class of Uruk, they have a high sense of responsibility... Of course, responsibility and ability are not necessarily proportional. In Uruk, where royal power is concentrated, their discussions usually revolve around 'how to do it' rather than 'what to do'. Asking them to come up with a solution from scratch is simply a pipe dream.

Not to mention they have almost no cards left to play.

"Please calm down. Although it's unexpected, it's still within our control."

Sidduri sat among the priests, frowning as he spoke softly.

"High Priest?"

Everyone looked at Siduri with suspicion.

In typical meetings like these, they usually engage in heated discussions, while Siduri rarely speaks, at most conveying some of Orpheus's intentions... Of course, this is also rare, because Orpheus rarely has any intentions.

Now, the high priest, who usually does the most but speaks the least, has spoken.

"Queen Orpheus seems to have anticipated the current situation. She once gave me an order that if any changes in the south were beyond our control, the city guards should guide the people to the north wall for refuge first... According to Queen Orpheus, as long as there is a problem in the south, the north will surely be safe."

At this point, Siduri gave a wry smile.

"But it seems that it's impossible for now."

The priests also fell silent.

Queen Orpheus might have guessed that disaster was about to befall her... but clearly, she did not have any real foresight regarding the impending calamity.

Judging from the speed at which the outposts lost contact, it would take the enemy less than an hour to reach Uruk. Hiduri had already gathered all the residents of Uruk before that, but even so, based on the enemy's speed, it would be impossible for them to relocate in time.

However, Orpheus had considered the current situation to some extent.

"Therefore, according to the king's decree, the first step will be temporarily shelved, and I will directly begin implementing the second step of the plan. As for you gentlemen, King Orpheus has also ordered you to stay with the people and temporarily take charge of managing them..."

────────────────────────────────

As the meeting adjourned, Siduri let out a soft sigh.

She didn't tell anyone else that the impending crisis was the beginning of the apocalypse that Orpheus had spoken of six months ago.
