"Actually, we found something in the place where Theodora was killed by you."

With such a sentence, Sazex stretched out his hand.

In Sazex's hand, an enchantment as small as a gem was quietly waving there.

And inside that small barrier, something like a black snake was constantly twisting and fluctuating, and it was connected end to end.

That sight reminded Noah of something.

-- Ouroboros.

Almost at the same time, something in Noah's pocket vibrated and made Noah's eyes narrowly as he looked at the Ouroboros-like mass in the enchantment in Sazarx's hand.

From the world of "God Slayer", Noah brought a total of two things out.

One is the "Holy Grail" snatched from Gnavia.

The first is the "Stone of Gorgon" obtained from Athena.

Now, because the size of the "Holy Grail" is inconvenient to carry, Noah has placed it in the "Between Worlds", and what he carries with him is another thing that he brought out of the world of the "God Slayer".

――――"The Stone of Gorgon".

This "snake" belonging to Athena had reacted to the dragon that was born after the destruction of the "Hera Pillar" and gathered the spirit of the earth spirits in Naples.

Now, the Stone of Gorgon has reacted again, proving that the Ouroboros in the enchantment in Sazarx's hand are like things. Most likely, it has something to do with snakes.

No.

It should be said that it is a derivative of the snake. i.e. dragon-related.

"This was found from where I killed Diodora?" Noah frowned.

"You mean, it's Theodora's thing?"

"It should be said that this is what is in Diodora's body." It was not Sazex who answered Noah, but Achuka.

"We all think that Theodora put this thing into her body, which is why she appeared in that place after you killed her."

"Then, when we see this thing. We get the idea. Sazex looked directly at Noah.

"Why is Theodora so much more powerful than the average superior demon?"

Hearing this, Noah was slightly stunned.

Could it be that Diodora would be so much stronger than the average superior demon? Is it all because of this "snake"?

"Actually, not so long ago, Theodora didn't have this level of power." Achuka explained.

"Although Theodora is the next head of the Astarote family, in terms of strength. It's also weaker than Lias, who has the magic of destruction. Not to mention reaching a strength close to that of a highest-level demon. ”

"So, we were surprised to see Theodora attack on you to that extent." Serafel seemed to be planning to look at it at a glance, but as a result, that performance gave people a cute feeling.

"We thought that Diodora had always hidden her true strength, and planned to make a splash after her debut in the 'RatingGame'."

"But now it seems. It's not that Diodora has been hiding his true strength, it's that he didn't have this level of strength not so long ago. Falubium spoke.

"When this "snake" is implanted in the body. To be able to increase the user's strength to a certain extent, Diodora should have used it to make his strength surpass most of the higher-level demons and approach the level of the highest-level demons. ”

"And what exactly is this 'snake'?" Noah asked.

"Can increase the user's strength to a certain extent, is it the ability of the same type of 'SacredGear' as the 'Red Dragon Emperor's BoostedGear'?"

"No, it can't be." Sazex vetoed it directly.

"Even a 'Longlnus' like the 'Red Dragon Emperor's BoostedGear' can only temporarily increase the user's power, but Diodora has been using this power, so this can't be the power of the 'SacredGear'."

Speaking of which, Sazex said suddenly.

"Do you remember when the descendants of the three old demon kings, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus, attacked us during the tripartite talks?"

Noah nodded, he was also a participant in that incident, so naturally it was impossible to forget.

"Actually, those three descendants of the demon king are just descendants of the demon king after all, and their strength can match the most advanced demons, but they can't reach the level of the demon king, so they dare to come to us directly for trouble, because they have obtained the power to match the demon king." Sazex said.

"At that time, I clearly saw that the three descendants of the demon king all used this "snake" and increased their power to the level of the demon king in one go."

Hearing this, Noah immediately understood what Sazex meant.

"You're saying that Theodora had contact with the Scourge of Evil?"

――――"The Mass of Woe".

A group of terrorists who have gathered dangerous elements from various forces and intend to bring chaos and destruction to the world.

Wally was also a member of that group.

Naturally, the descendants of the three Demon Kings were also members of the "Scourge Group", and attacked Sazex during the meeting between the three forces, intending to break the peace treaty, stage a coup d'état, and regain the throne of the Demon King.

Since the descendants of the three demon kings all used this "snake", then Theodora, who also used this "snake", needless to ask, definitely had contact with the "Scourge of Evil".

"Originally, after the power of this "snake" was obtained by Diodora, it should have been completely digested by Diodora and integrated into the body, but when you destroyed it, Diodora left this "snake"." Sazex got serious.

"Therefore, we speculate that Theodora should have just obtained this "snake" not long ago, and her body has not fully integrated the power of the "snake", so she will be left behind in the "snake" that has not been completely fused."

"You see what we mean, don't you?" Achuka smiled as she always had a bewitching smile.

"That is to say, it was the most recent thing for Theodora to get the "snake", and the person who gave him the "snake" is likely to be in the underworld!"

Achuka's words directly made Noah's heart burst out with a wonderful feeling.

Sensing this feeling, Noah's gaze first froze, and then suddenly lit up.

Noah has experienced this feeling many times.

That's what the world feels when it gives Noah a hint.

There is a hint about "World Fragments".

At this moment, Noah finally got serious.

Could it be that the "World Fragment" is in the body of the man who gave Theodora the "snake"?

Thinking of this, Noah was more or less unable to sit still, but he still forcibly held back and looked at Sazex.

"Why did you tell me about this?"

"You're getting to the point." A bitter expression appeared on Sazex's face.

"Because, if the owner of this 'snake' is really in the underworld, we may have to rely on your powers."

"My power?" Noah raised an eyebrow.

"We can only rely on your strength." Achuka spoke up.

"After all, we can't help the owner of this 'snake' with our words alone."

This surprised Noah.

What can I do?

As a 'transcendent', his strength can definitely be ranked at the top of the world, and the top ten Sazex and Achuka can't help it?

Not kidding, right?

"No kidding, as far as we know, there is only one person who can give power to others in this way, almost elevate the strength of others forever, and also have such a "snake". Sazex said with a solemn expression.

"It is said to possess infinite power, and even the gods fear the strongest dragon in legends."

Infinite power?

Isn't that...

"That's right, it is the first of the top masters who have the ability to be the strongest existence in this world and rank among the top ten miles." Sazex said word for word.

"Known as the 'Infinite Dragon God', his name is Orpheus."

Sazex looked at Noah.

"Now, you know why we have to ask you for help, right?"

Noah was silent for a moment.

A figure who can be ranked first among the strong people in the world.

It is said to have infinite power.

In the past, Noah had learned about the existence of such characters from Wally's mouth.

Unexpectedly, such a character is not only likely to be in the underworld, but also joined the "Disaster Group".

The most important thing is that the "World Fragment" is most likely also on this Orpheus.

It's a bit of a hassle... (To be continued......)
