The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Orpheus raised his hand, about to strike, when...

*Pfft*

The golden ripples dissipated.

Everyone was stunned.

Orpheus paused slightly, his gaze falling downwards.

One of the two spears pierced through the heart, the same spot Tiamat had previously injured, while the other struck the chest, creating a new wound.

Then, a powerful and aggressive energy surged in.

In the case of infinity, this level of damage would be completely useless against Orpheus. Even without infinity, Orpheus could have dealt with it if she were not injured. But for her, who is now seriously injured, such an attack is nothing short of the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Orpheus turned his head with difficulty to look back.

The two temple guards made thrusting motions with expressionless faces, while the others stared in disbelief at the scene.

But in less than half a second, everyone reacted. The other six temple guards who were closest to them were the fastest to react, picking up their spears to attack the two traitors, but were blown away by the violent explosion in the next second.

At the top of the temple, two enormous pillars covered in eyes stood horizontally into the sky.

"Demon God Pillar?!"

Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise.

Orpheus narrowed his eyes.

She was certain that these two demon god pillars did not originally exist in this time and space.

She had previously taken some opportunities to ask Ritsuka about the previous singularities, and it seemed that the guy behind them had no precedent of personally intervening.

It seems so now.

Is it because this completely unknown entity has become beyond our control...?

This should have been thought of long ago, ever since Qi released the cover-up from this era...

"Waaaaaah!"

The demonic pillar, even more disgusting than Raphm, emitted eerie sounds, and countless tentacles surged toward Orpheus.

Unfortunately, that guy didn't know her well enough...

Orpheus wouldn't normally be very angry even if she were stabbed, but this underhanded tactic, coupled with the fact that her previous attacks were broken and the spear piercing her, unfortunately reminded her of a certain Mr. Cao who would try to trick her in the future.

Taking all these factors into account, she became a little angry.

Since you want to play, I'll play with you...

Orpheus curled the corners of her lips and readily gave up on suppressing the alien energy surging within her body.

Then, the raging magic transformed into a purple stream of energy and exploded outwards.

Everyone felt a tightness in their chest, and the buildings and ground within a hundred meters cracked due to the immense pressure.

The tentacles of the Demon Pillar were blasted open.

The next second, a purple streak of light flashed by, and a large hole appeared on the side of one of the Demon God Pillars. The three-ball turret that had just appeared appeared behind the Demon God Pillar, which was clearly the real form of the streak of light.

Then, a purple torrent erupted, sweeping across and blasting the Demon God Pillar in two.

Orpheus was ready at this moment, and gently clenched his fist with one hand.

In the blink of an eye, Orpheus and the Demon Pillar disappeared simultaneously, then reappeared in front of Tiamat.

Orpheus slowly drifted away from the regenerating Demon Pillar and the walking Tiamat, then turned to face the three bosses.

"Did you think that level of preparation would be enough to 'completely' kill me? It seems you've underestimated me a little. Although I will indeed die a little, it won't hurt me much. But overall, your actions make me very unhappy, extremely unhappy."

After speaking to the Demon God Pillars or the beings behind them, Orpheus looked at Tiamat.

Although Tiamat, the mother goddess of creation, now appears to be a monster that wreaks havoc on humankind, those who know a bit about mythology know that Tiamat was actually the victim.

In this world, she was exiled because she was no longer needed.

Of course, this is also because her power is too great, and she can easily reshape the entire ecosystem, but this does not change her position as a victim.

Simply put, because it was a latent threat, it was ruled out immediately.

"Although you are not wrong, I also have my own position, so please slow down."

Orpheus had not originally intended to unleash his full power.

She was initially hesitant, as dying sooner meant more uncontrollable factors, so she naturally wanted to hold on for as long as possible, which required her to devote more energy and mental focus to suppressing her injuries.

But now that others have forced her to make a choice, there's nothing she can do.

Golden ripples shone on Uruk once more.

So, what's next...?

"With my resolve, I will stain the earth!"

Chapter 117 The End of a Dynasty

The countless Noble Phantasms transformed into a rain of light, mercilessly slamming into Tiamat. Immediately afterward, the Illusion Collapse was activated, unleashing a series of violent explosions. Meanwhile, Dingil on all sides of the city walls continued to unleash a barrage of fire, forcing the Mother Goddess of Creation to retreat step by step.

As for those two unfortunate demon pillars, they were long ago blasted into dust.

"I've wanted to ask this for a long time... is your magic limitless?"

The doctor's helpless complaint.

Orpheus did not answer, but simply landed on the temple and began to catch his breath.

"Little Orpheus... are you alright?"

Ritsuka stepped forward and asked worriedly.

Orpheus shook his head and then forcefully threw Ritsuka away.

A red beam of light streaked across the spot where she had been standing.

Frowning, Orpheus waved his right hand, and a massive, hundred-meter-long greatsword emerged from the golden ripples, then slammed down towards the Mother Goddess of Creation.

Faced with the immense mass of the Mountain-Slaying Sword, even the Mother Goddess was forced back several steps... However, Orpheus dared not let that thing shatter her illusions, otherwise it could really blow up the entire Uruk.

However, with her body on the verge of collapse, opening so many doors at once and dragging it out for a full hour, Orpheus had reached her limit.

But that's enough.

A white figure landed gently beside Orpheus, and their eyes met instantly.

"Sorry I'm late, leave the rest to me."

Enkidu conveyed this meaning with his eyes and leaped forward without stopping.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaa───”

Sensing something, Tiamat roared loudly, unleashing a burst of magical power that blasted the temple, causing a violent tremor. Ritsuka and the others were all blasted away and lost consciousness. Only Orpheus, whose body was covered in scattered light spots and had become quite illusory, remained in place.

This time it's not the ability to become ethereal, but because the existence of the Dragon God Girl is about to disappear.

Meanwhile, one person was completely unaffected.

Enkidu soared into the sky, looking down at the Mother Goddess, his gaze gradually sharpening.

"An hour... that's quite a rigorous test. Even in my prime, I couldn't do that. But not disappointing my master is a weapon's basic duty, and..."

Touching his feverish heart, Enkidu smiled gently.

“I can’t let you keep causing this destruction, Mother.”

"Enkidu, here you will reveal the name of the Chains of Heaven, awaken the breath of the stars—Son of Man, bind yourself to the gods (Enuma Elish)!"

────────────────────────────────

The Chains of Heaven bound Tiamat for a full hour.

It wasn't slowing things down or stopping them, but rather truly binding them for an hour.

In other words, if Orpheus still had enough power, he could have easily blasted Tiamat, who was completely powerless, to pieces a thousand or eighty times within this hour... though he would ultimately not have been able to kill her.

Such results far exceed the abilities Enkidu should have possessed.

But there are limits.

“Jin…Gu…”

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but Tiamat seems to have uttered words that are meaningful to ordinary people for the first time.

Then, the Lock of Heaven shattered.

Enkidu is dead.

Orpheus simply watched silently.

"...The phase transfer is complete. All that's left is to open the entrance to the underworld."

At that moment, Ereshkigal's voice came from the mirror.

"Ishtar, it's up to you."

Orpheus said calmly.

"king."

Hiduri, who was the first to wake up, slowly walked behind her, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Hey, you, is this all you're going to do?"

However, Ishtar directly transmitted her voice.

"Isn't this a perfect ending? To conclude with a heroic figure that will never be forgotten."

Orpheus smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Since it exists, it will inevitably have a moment of destruction. There is no need to be sad about it, because the end represents a new beginning. Besides, the glory she left behind is so dazzling."

As she said this, Orpheus looked at Siduri and Ritsuka and the others who had woken up.

"The world has its own self-correcting mechanisms. Beings that perish in a singularity will not be resurrected after the singularity disappears. Things have already come to this point, and the fifth generation of the Uruk monarchy is undoubtedly doomed to fail. However, the sixth generation of the monarchy will continue the Mesopotamian civilization. Even if the Mesopotamian civilization is destroyed, the human era will not end; on the contrary, it will become even more glorious, right?"

As Tiamat drew closer, Orpheus spoke slowly.
