The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

────────────────────────────────

A figure clad entirely in black, wearing a bone mask, was wreaking havoc among eleven seemingly formidable monsters, while Tiamat, bathed in the light of the Holy Sword and the Sword of the War God, blasted Merlin into the ground.

This is because of the fusion with Prayer. After finally being resurrected and returning to the city, he casually picked up the Uruk Grail Core that Enkidu had dropped after his death. This was the first thing Orpheus saw when he jumped into the underworld.

Has Merlin come back to life?

Quickly putting that issue aside, Orpheus then saw that Ereshkigal wanted to share the power of the underworld with Ritsuka and the others.

...This seems to violate the rules of the gods.

Neither of them is easy to deal with...

To be honest, Orpheus really wished that everything would be over when she came back to life. If possible, she would like to just wait until it was over, since she is not a person who likes trouble.

It was supposed to be like this...

It seems I have no choice but to intervene, otherwise Ereshkigal might really get me killed.

and……

I'm a little excited...

Orpheus was only wary of Tiamat's invincibility. Now, Tiamat is not only suppressed in the Underworld, but her immortality also seems to have been greatly weakened. Orpheus's infinity has been fully restored due to his resurrection, so he no longer needs to manifest it in order to protect any particular place.

She herself didn't know how she lost.

"Hey, think it through! Are you really going to do this?"

Meanwhile, on Ereshkigal's side, Ishtar, who could only play a minor role due to insufficient magic power, was trying to persuade her sister.

"Shut up! You're so weak after just one shot, so get out of here!"

"you……"

Ishtar grinned, about to speak, but suddenly froze.

Most of the people on the battlefield were stunned and looked up at Tiamat.

The patterns of the world are converging and then merging into a golden sphere.

"Ophis?"

Drawing out the sword Ea, Orpheus looked down at Tiamat. The three cylindrical blades of Ea spun rapidly, and the air currents emitted caused the space of the underworld to creak under the strain.

"King Orpheus, are you alright?"

Mash exclaimed in surprise, while Ereshkigal below had a bad feeling.

Especially after she saw the cracks in the underworld.

"It's come to this point, I can't just stand by and do nothing. Even if I have to shatter the underworld, I have to escape death..."

"Stop doing this already!!!"

Ignoring Ereshkigal's desperate cries, Orpheus raised the sword of Equality high.

Ironically, Orpheus, who originally preferred simple and brutal combat, never truly and fully unleashed the power of this Noble Phantasm, which could be described as a ready-made beam cannon and also the strongest attack method in the past, for various reasons.

After this resurrection, Orpheus gained abilities that rivaled those of Ea and could be used directly on his own... But even so...

Let's end this battle with Divergence.

Originally, Orpheus was unable to fully control Ea. Even though she could easily increase Ea's power to a level far exceeding Gilgamesh's with her endless magic power, in reality, Orpheus was far inferior to Gilgamesh in terms of magic power conversion efficiency.

Orpheus now understands the reason.

"Tiamat, the goddess, humans harbor no hatred towards you, but no matter how deep the child's affection, there will come a day when it must leave its mother..."

In Orpheus's eyes, Tiamat has always just been Tiamat.

Human evil and beastly evil are irrelevant.

The Mother Goddess laid the foundation for the world from chaos, indirectly giving birth to humankind.

Even so, as long as she lives, humanity will be destroyed.

Therefore, Tiamat must disappear.

Separate heaven (gods) from earth (humans), and then open up the future of mankind.

"The world no longer needs a foundation; please rest now."

Orpheus smiled softly and uttered the words of liberation.

"Heaven and earth are separated, the star of creation (Enuma Elish)."

The next second, heaven and earth were redefined.

End of Chapter 121

"I hope we'll have the chance to meet again in the future."

In the light of the spirit transfer, Orpheus watched Ritsuka wave and smile as she disappeared, clutching the Holy Grail he had given her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Merlin and Quetzalcoatl have already left, and the berserker who looked like an assassin has also disappeared at some point. Chaldea was the last group to leave.

The singularity has been resolved.

The sword strike that cleaved the heavens and earth shattered the spiritual foundation of the Mother Goddess of Creation, ushering in the sixth generation of kings in Uruk and opening up a future for humanity.

The crisis is over.

After such a long tug-of-war, is it really just a matter of one sword strike in the end...?

Through that brief exchange that could hardly be called a battle, Orpheus also gained a real sense of becoming stronger.

Almost at first glance, Orpheus obtained all the detailed information about Tiamat, including her weaknesses, as well as whether he could defeat her, what methods would be effective, and what level of power he would need to use.

With a little concentration, one can even predict the other party's possible future moves.

And these are only some of the abilities of the 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Star'.

However, Orpheus has now determined that the 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Star' is far from being omnipotent, let alone omnipotent.

After all, she couldn't find out what the Great Red was doing right now.

Is it limited to the current world?

The improvement in abilities is also considerable.

Orpheus originally wanted to modify the Holy Grail because she coveted its ability to grant wishes, thus compensating for her lack of means despite possessing magical power. Now, she has achieved something close to the omnipotence of the Holy Grail.

Of course, if you want to do something too complicated, the time required will increase accordingly.

But her biggest weakness has been made up for.

But is there really no such thing as a free lunch...?

"Alright, now it's just a few of us left. What are our plans for the future?"

Ishtar floated to the side, squinting as she spoke first.

There are four other people present... at least they appear to be human.

Orpheus, the Twin Goddesses, and Altira.

Since the twin goddesses were summoned by the priestesses, they won't be sent back even if the singularity disappears. As for when they will leave...

That will probably have to wait until the Age of Gods completely disappears.

"Needless to say, I will continue to stay in the Underworld. After all, because of someone's reckless destruction, there is a lot of mess to clean up here, and I promised to return all the souls."

Ereshkigal pursed his lips and looked at Orpheus.

"Besides, I haven't even taken your soul to the underworld yet."

"Me too. I'll probably continue to watch over Mesopotamia until I witness the end of this civilization. That's our responsibility as gods."

Ishtar, unusually serious for once, shrugged and said.

Then Orpheus looked at Altira and found that she was also looking back at her.

"..."

Orpheus had a headache.

As a Servant directly summoned by her and supplied with magical energy by her, Altira would certainly not lack magical energy, nor would she disappear due to the elimination of singularities or the giving away of the Holy Grail.

Now that I've used them up and then cut off their magic power, it doesn't feel quite right.

Moreover, according to the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star's investigation, it seems that the person did not come to help her voluntarily.

This guy's got some serious connections...

While it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask Orpheus for help in return for being summoned to assist her... since even she herself doesn't know what she wants, Orpheus has no way to help her.

We'll talk about it later.

As for now...

"I hope to observe the world in this era more closely... from a perspective closer to that of humanity."

Altira looked at Orpheus.

"Is that alright, Master?"

Orpheus, of course, had no reason to refuse.

Previously, due to her death, the 'snake' buried in Altira's body became weak, but now, after her enhancement, the snake can still operate autonomously even though she is no longer in this era.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Altila could live until the end of the world without any problems.

"King~~~"

Just then, Siduri's voice came from afar.

"Your priest has come."

Ishtar glanced in the direction the sound came from, then looked at Orpheus again.

"So, are you going back to be your king?"

At the same glance, seeing Hiduri hurriedly leading his army towards them, Orpheus chuckled and shook his head.

"No, the King of Heroes is dead. Humanity must be guided by humans."
