Chapter 1345

Immediately after, the guild erupted into an uproar.

Kurosaki Ichigo: "Garuda — the one from Indian mythology… the chief of the Eight Great Dragon Kings."

Kayaba Akihiko: "I've heard the name Garuda before… if I'm not mistaken! Garuda should be a top-tier beast that preys on dragons."

Maochang Jingyan: "Wait... feeding on dragons! I think I've found a blind spot."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "Garuda... a deity from Indian mythology."

If it's a deity we're talking about, it would be more appropriate to ask the old Hou Jue or the cult leader Luo Hao, wouldn't it?"

I am the Hou Jue: "Garuda is the chief of the Eight Great Dragon Kings."

Also known as the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird! It feeds on dragons, making it a supreme deity..."

Su Xiao Xiao: "In other words… Kobayashi, a Garuda — a deity from mythology — has appeared in your world, and this deity is going to act against Tohru."

Kobayashi: "That's roughly right! But I'm not sure whether the one on the other side is truly a deity."

Aside from... knowing the name of the one across from me! I know nothing else."

Kobayashi: "This information was passed to Tohru by Elma."

I just happened to overhear it at the time."

Su Xiao Xiao: "…As I recall, Elma and Tohru have a very bad relationship — they're basically enemies — and besides! Elma's prototype should be based on the Indian dragon Naga."

I am the Hou Jue: "The Garuda of Indian mythology that preys on dragons."

And this information was leaked by Elma, whose prototype is based on an Indian dragon — suddenly the whole thing feels: interesting."

On the European territories over which he himself reigned, Hou Jue Hou Jue Wo Ban, who had laid out a plan similar in concept to Cult Leader Luo Hao's yet entirely different in execution against the system of gods who would not submit, paused his actions.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of sharpness and excitement flashing through his pupils.

The chief of the Eight Great Dragon Kings from Indian mythology of another world? I wonder how it differs from the disobedient god Garuda of their own world? Kobayashi: "Although Tohru said that once this battle is over, everything will go back to the way it was! But I feel that in this fight… she might actually die."

Kobayashi: "Everyone, please! Tohru has already left… I can't even imagine the scene of Tohru dying! Even if it's only a possibility, I can't accept it."

Please, help me!"

Kobayashi's body was trembling; even the mere thought of Tohru vanishing from her life was almost too much to bear.

She felt she simply could not accept it, clenched her teeth tightly, and hugged Kanna close beside her.

Kanna had not taken part in the battle, although Kanna was very stubborn and had wanted to go as well.

But Tohru, on the grounds that Kanna was still a young dragon, refused Kanna's wish to join the fight.

And she also asked Kobayashi to look after Kanna.

"Kobayashi, Tohru-sama will definitely be all right, won't she?"

Kanna suddenly turned her head to stare at Kobayashi, her eyes filled with hope and expectation.

"Yes, she'll definitely be fine."

Kobayashi ruffled Kanna's hair; even though worry gnawed at her heart, in front of Kanna she forced those worries down and put on a look of complete confidence. "That's the Tohru-sama you admire! How could anything possibly happen to her? Don't you think so?"

"Kobayashi, you're right!"

After a brief moment of thought, Kanna nodded seriously, said nothing more, and went back to earnestly finishing the pastry in front of her.

Seeing that Kanna had been calmed down, Kobayashi finally let out a sigh of relief, closed her eyes again, and focused on the guild chat interface in her mind.

Xiao Tongtong: "Kobayashi, don't worry! Nothing bad will happen."

With so many big shots here, surely at least one of them can take down the enemy! Whether it's a deity or a true Golden-Winged Great Peng, none of them can stand against the real heavyweights in the guild."

"Yes... there are far too many strong ones in the guild...! Not to mention, there are outliers like the president, the teacher, and Qi Mu Nanxiong—individuals of breakthrough realm... there's absolutely no chance of problems!"

Accelerator: "Hmph! I'm also a little interested in Garuda."

But I'm only interested in this species called a god... I have no intention of saving Thor."

Xiao Tongtong: "Tsk… Accelerator! A tsundere guy is not cute at all."

Why are you acting just like the old Hou Jue?"

One-Way Passage: "..."

Thor Odinson: "Ah… at least it's a guy who shares a name with me! If I could, I'd like to go over and take a look too."

Thor Odinson: "It's also a good chance to see — I, a son of Odin born of Norse mythology, also want to see."

Between me and this fellow who bears the title of chief of the Eight Great Dragon Kings of Indian mythology, just who is stronger and who is weaker."

Kobayashi: "... Thank you all! Truly, thank you... I don't even know how to repay you."

Kobayashi pressed her lips tightly together, so moved that her lips trembled, unsure of what she ought to say.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Same old rules — I'll go check the guild quest section first."

Su Han opened the guild function interface, then entered the guild main quest section, and discovered that, sure enough, a main quest had refreshed.

... Task Name: Resolve... Aberration Task Description: The foremost of the Eight Heavenly Dragons from another realm, Garuda, has crossed over with his two children, Gar and Keh, into the ancestral world of the dragon clans."

And in another world it has been running rampant, causing an unprecedented catastrophe.

In the end, Garuda and his kin have set their sights on the top-tier dragons currently in the world of Earth… Quest requirement: Slay three Garuda descendants! Or drive them away from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and the other world.

Target briefing: Garuda — an ancient mythological species, extremely powerful! Possessing the power to reduce the world to ruins. Garuda Jr. — a sub-mythological species, an outstanding Garuda descendant who inherited Garuda's power. Garuda Sr. — a sub-mythological species, an outstanding Garuda descendant who inherited Garuda's power. Quest reward: 200,000 points. Quest limit: four members allowed to participate, contestable quest mode… Su Han's gaze flickered slightly; he immediately accepted the quest and tossed it into the guild chat.

The guild chat fell into a brief silence.

Everyone who saw this quest was now lost in thought.

: "Let me summarize the information we have so far!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Go ahead."

: "First piece of information: Garuda is not a being from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid world! It comes from another world."

One-Way Passage: "..."

Accelerator's brow twitched, his expression lively.

Damn! I thought you were about to drop some brilliant insight — turns out you really were just summarizing: "Second piece of information: Garuda is a mythological species, possessing divinity, and at the same time wielding the power to destroy the world."

: "The third piece of information: they have already ravaged Thor's original world."

"This may be the key reason why Aluma knew of Garuda's existence and summoned Thor and the others to prepare for battle."
