Chapter 382 Aze, the situation is urgent, kill the traitor Fenrir!
"Aze, where have you been these days? I can't find you anywhere."
The person who suddenly appeared was Lu Mingze, who had not been seen for many days. He was still wearing the same black evening suit that he always wore, which was perfectly tailored and spotless. His hair was shiny and glossy as if it had been styled with two kilograms of hairspray. He was completely out of place in this mine filled with decay and dust.
Fenrir, who was so close, was completely unaware of the arrival of this uninvited guest. Xia Mi, who was stroking the dragon like a cat's chin, also ignored Lu Mingze.
A little further away, Old Tang and Constantine were discussing in low voices around the half of the spine that was gradually petrifying and merging into the rock wall, completely unaware that a strange creature had sneaked in among the four dragons and one man.
Lu Mingfei showed a look of joy. He had long been accustomed to Lu Mingze's elusiveness, and he also knew that he had a shielding perception field, and no one except himself could detect his presence.
Just when he was hesitating whether to use the super cheat code to upgrade Fenrir's hardware, Lu Mingze appeared.
Now that Aze has arrived, Fenrir will be saved.
However, compared to usual, Lu Mingze, who always appeared with a smile on his face as if he was thinking of something, did not have much expression on his face this time.
He stood between Lu Mingfei and Fenrir, like a ghost that no one could see, staring at his brother quietly, his lips pursed.
"There's been a lot of business lately, so it's a bit busy."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
It wasn't because Lu Mingze spoke like a teenager and said things that a professional should say, nor was it because I was surprised that as a boss, he didn't let his employees do things but went to do the business himself. It was just that I felt deeply moved.
In his previous life, he had long been accustomed to his younger brother staying at home doing nothing after the holidays and pestering Renata all day long. Sometimes he worried that this kid would be spoiled by his younger sister-in-law and become a useless person who only needed food and clothes to be provided for him, and would not even look for a job to live off others.
Although he, as an older brother, had already made all the arrangements for their food, clothing, housing, transportation, marriage and having children, and even opened a special account to store the living fund for the future couple, as long as they did not invest or get involved in gambling or drugs, they would basically not spend it all.
But Lu Mingze's situation in this world is much more difficult than in his previous life, and he is now imprisoned, so he can't say such inappropriate and rubbish as "Busy, it's better to be busy."
So he just walked forward and put his arm around his brother's thin shoulders: "What are you busy with? Tell me, and let me know if there is anything I can help with."
Now, he has completely verified Lu Mingze's words with actual actions. He is the strongest monster in the world. In other aspects, he cannot interfere with Su Enxi, the omnipotent housekeeper, but when it comes to non-violent non-cooperation, it is his expertise.
He even expected Lu Mingze to tell him his current location so that he could lead his men to rush in and rescue his brother.
But it was obvious that Lu Mingze was not ready to reveal the answer so soon, not for any other reason, but simply because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back after he escaped...
"What if I asked you to help me kill them all?"
Lu Mingze looked up at him, his eyebrows curved, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a clean and beautiful smile, but the words he said were like the vacuum of the universe that swallowed everything, cold and dead, without any warmth.
The finger was pointing at the four Dragon Kings who were unaware of the situation.
Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at him. The boy's light golden pupils showed a faint smile, without any murderous intent, as if what he had just said was just a joke.
But Lu Mingfei knew this was no joke.
From the moment he killed the White King and proved himself to be the strongest monster in the world, he began to doubt his own identity.
It is known that in this world, there is a black emperor named Nidhogg, who equally bestows despair on all things in the world. He is the supreme, virtuous and powerful being.
But it died.
The cause of death is closely related to humans and the four elemental monarchs.
And several years later, a human boy first killed the White Queen and Norton, and was called the strongest monster in the world by his younger brother, whose condition was unknown but who could enter and exit the spiritual world at will. He also scared Norton so much that he dared not take over Old Tang's body.
Then may I ask...
He raised his hand on Lu Mingze's shoulder slightly, ruffling his black hair, which was still soft and not stiff after being sprayed with hairspray, and said softly, "So, Ragnarok was caused by us?"
Instead of answering directly, he confirmed his identity first.
Lu Mingze held down the big hand that was trying to mess up his hair, and also did not answer directly. He raised his chin and looked towards the north. His sight penetrated Lu Mingfei, penetrated the giant dragon like a hill, penetrated time and space, and fell on a distant virtual point that only he could see.
"No." He shook his head.
This denial made Lu Mingfei's brows relax. He was about to speak, but then Lu Mingze added:
"Not this time."
"What's going on? There are two more Ragnarok?" Lu Mingfei widened his eyes, wondering whether what Aze was holding in his hand was the setting of Norse mythology or the script of the Marvel Universe.
"Every change of power is the twilight of the gods."
Lu Mingze took Lu Mingfei's hand away, took a step back, and looked at him calmly: "But last time was just the twilight of the God King. The gods did not want to see the birth of a new king, so they tore up the trust, trampled on the covenant, and chose to betray."
His voice was very soft, neither hoarse nor hysterical, but every word he spoke was like a jagged blade, scraping Lu Mingfei's nerves.
At this moment, countless images flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind again.
On a snow-covered mountain, a massive black dragon's corpse collapsed upon its throne, its wings, once blotting out the sun, drooping to the foot of the mountain. Its blood, like magma, melted the ice and snow, dyeing the entire mountain red. Countless people climbed along the dragon's wings, chiseling through its skull, watching the white liquid gushing out like a fountain, their cheers resonating through the sky.
On the desolate battlefield, the ground was cracked, and everywhere the sight was filled with the corpses of humans and dragons. The cracks were filled with blood, and the sky was dyed red. Six giant dragons, each with different shapes but covered in scars, had excitement flashing in their eyes. They looked towards the center of the sea of corpses and blood, watching the figure pierced by the spear completely lose its life.
In a place surrounded by mountains, the mixed-blood army and the dragon clan fought each other. Flames that were enough to ignite the heaven and earth fell from the sky. In the earth-shaking explosion, the endless battle came to an abrupt end, and the towering city turned into nothing in an instant.
Outside the holy city protected by the power of the Word Spirit, the paladins holding high the cross flags rushed towards the mountain-like dragon one after another, and pushed it into the poisonous mercury river with their flesh and blood bodies. The dragon, which only knew how to rush around, got up one after another, but was repeatedly knocked into the mercury river. Finally, under the double destruction of body and mind, it had to choose to retreat.
…
Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at the giant dragon crawling on the ground as obediently as a cat or dog, and found that he looked exactly like the behemoth that besieged the new king and the holy city.
Norton, who died tragically at the hands of Old Tang's interstellar army, also appeared in the previous scene with his dragon body before his death.
"You should have told me earlier." Lu Mingfei whispered, his eyes fixed on the black-haired boy with his hands behind his back.
"I don't remember anything."
Not only did he not remember, he had no idea it even existed.
If I had known earlier, but even if I had known earlier...what could I have done?
Should he watch Old Tang and Constantine die at the hands of the secret party, or watch Fenrir become the nourishment for Xia Mi's ultimate sublimation, or wait for them to die tragically at the hands of Odin and then appear again to avenge them?
Lu Mingfei is a human being, not a god. He also has a heart, a liver, and feelings, and he cannot abandon his old friends from his previous life.
"Now you know." Lu Mingze still kept smiling, but his eyes were calm and almost cruel.
And deep within the calm, there is a fire of hatred that burns everything. It is a poison refined from thousands of years of pain and betrayal, which has long penetrated into the bone marrow and has no cure.
"Brother, will you choose to forgive and continue to save them, or will you enumerate the crimes of the traitors and punish them?"
This was equivalent to confirming that Something for Nothing could indeed allow Fenrir to complete his evolution, but it also indirectly forced Lu Mingfei to make a choice:
Should I stand on my younger brother's side, or on the side of the Dragon King, with whom I only had a bond in the previous life and no intersection in this life.
Lu Mingfei was gripped by an inexplicable and immense feeling of powerlessness, as if he were in the cold deep sea, with heavy water pressure from all directions, making him feel suffocated.
No wonder Lu Mingze never told him the truth. It turned out that what stood between the brothers was not only the disparity between the two worlds, but also the abyss of blood feud that was piled with the corpses of traitors and irrigated by the blood of kings and could not be avoided at all.
When kings fight each other, there is only bloodshed and no handshakes.
"Before I answer, let me ask a question first." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and glanced at Old Tang who seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality here and was still studying the plan for making the puppet's half body with Constantine.
Lu Mingze raised his hand slightly, indicating that he could go ahead.
"Is the current Old Tang Ronald Tang or Norton?" Lu Mingfei stared at Lu Mingze's light golden eyes, his tone more serious than ever.
From his point of view, the current Old Tang is still Old Tang. Compared with the past, he has just inherited the USB flash drive that stores Norton's memories and can access the learning materials in it at will.
Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire who was full of hatred for humans, is dead, and the only one who survived is a funny bounty hunter.
But the key to the problem is not what he thinks, but how Aze determines it.
Lu Mingze was a smart man, and he obviously understood Lu Mingfei's hidden meaning. He pursed his lips and said:
"Brother, you've become cunning."
"People who play tactics are all dirty. If they are not cunning, why play StarCraft?" Lu Mingfei shrugged, a smile on his face.
"Then you admit that there's only Old Tang now, but no Norton?"
When he set the trap for Norton, he actually considered separating Old Tang and Norton into two completely different existences.
The personality of Kazama Ruri in Genjiro's heart is dead, but the mistakes he made cannot be erased and he needs to do his best to make up for them.
But Old Tang is different. He is a newly born personality in the dragon body, clear and stupid. The sins and karma that belonged to Norton in the past cannot burn this new soul.
What's more, he summoned the coalition forces of the three races of humans, gods and insects to beat Norton up and send him to death personally.
Lu Mingze was silent for two seconds, and finally nodded. He was no longer at the age of acting like a spoiled child and knew how to face the cruel reality.
However, he tilted his head with a half-smile:
"Norton is dead, but Fenrir is still alive, Constantine and Jörmungandr are also still alive. Are you going to kill them all and then resurrect them?"
If that was the case, he would be happy to move a small stool and watch the show.
After all, there is only one Old Tang, and there is no second personality in the other Dragon Kings.
But Lu Mingfei shook his head and suggested another possibility: "If I exchange the power of the King of Earth and Mountains for a human body and a barely adequate intelligence for Fenrir, would that be okay?"
A strong human body and barely adequate intelligence, this is actually the summer of the previous life.
Although Xia Tian does not exist in this world with dragons, he knows everything about Xia Tian. The world of that big boy is very simple. Apart from a sister and a few friends, there are only comics and sweets.
How can personality be such an inconvenient thing!
If you can't split yourself, just pinch one out manually!
Moreover, there is no need to even create a personality. Just give Fenrir a bowl of Meng Po soup and let it grow freely, and it will naturally turn into the appearance of summer.
After all, Fenrir now has severe memory loss, and his world is very pure, with only his sister, potato chips and TV.
"Brother, you are cheating." Lu Mingze narrowed his eyes slightly.
Fenrir is now half dead, imprisoned in a dark and harsh cage. He can no longer follow Jörmungandr out to play, and his range of movement is only the size of a platform. He cannot even turn over, which is the greatest punishment for him.
According to Lu Mingfei, it is just a child who cannot think with his brain. Instead of keeping the cumbersome dragon body and the power that may cause disaster at any time, it is better to exchange it for a free body to experience the world.
This isn't a punishment at all; it's clearly a gift!
"Why are you arguing with a fool?" Lu Mingfei curled his lips and changed the subject. "Why were there only six Dragon Kings back then? Where are Constantine and Xia Mi? Were they too weak to come?"
Lu Mingze knew he was changing the subject, but nodded.
Among them, Xia Micai is one of the reasons.
Another more important reason is that she is very smart. This little female dragon has never had much ambition from the beginning to the end. She knows how to judge the situation and abide by the rules better than other dragon kings. All her conspiracies and calculations are always controlled within the scope permitted by the rules. When everything is peaceful and there is a way out, she will not take the risk of rebelling for the second time.
As for Constantine, he is not bad at all, he is quite strong, but he is cowardly and not very good at fighting, and he is the only one who can hold Jörmungandr long enough.
If Jörmungandr, the external brain, is not sent away, the other dragon kings will never be able to trick Fenrir into joining the battlefield.
Because of this incident, a rift appeared in the relationship between the King of Earth and Mountains and the King of Bronze and Fire. This was because they lied to Fenrir and said that it was not Norton who was kidnapped by the dragon, so the hatred value was not raised too high.
After all, Xia Mi had warned him not to get too close to Norton. Fenrir would consciously stay away from Norton and would not believe what he said.
Lu Mingfei knew that one of them was a weakling and the other a coward, and if they really got involved they would only be a drag.
Thanks to them not really getting involved, he saved a lot of trouble.
"So, is there a solution?" He held Lu Mingze with both hands, gazing at him with burning eyes, like an emotionless director of a meat processing plant.
"Aze, the situation is urgent now, kill the traitor Fenrir!"
Looking at his pretentious and anxious look, even Lu Mingze, who was so shrewd, couldn't keep a straight face.
Seeing his stubborn brother speechless, Lu Mingfei shook his hands vigorously:
"Aze, think about it, Fenrir's brain capacity is so small, and with Xia Mi around, he doesn't have to worry about anything. He just needs to stay here and be a dead otaku, eating, playing, sleeping, and eating every day. It's so comfortable.
We gave him a normal body and assigned him a tough job, working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a salary of 3,500 yuan excluding food and accommodation, only an hour and a half break at noon every day, and only afternoon tea once a week!
Think about it, a fat otaku who only knows how to eat, drink, play, and nibble on his sister leaves his warm nest, gets up early every day and commutes two hours to work to collect Cullinan fragments for you, and buys himself coffee when he's tired and sleepy. Isn't that better than watching him stay here and have everything he wants?
After hearing what he said, Lu Mingze suddenly felt a little moved, as if that was the truth.
Fenrir is stupid to begin with. He doesn't get angry even if you tease him. He believes everything you say before questioning it. With Xia Mi taking care of him, he has no idea what human suffering is.
Just like Adam and Eve, when they had no knowledge of etiquette and shame, they ran around naked without any care. But after they ate the forbidden fruit, they felt shame and were driven out of the Garden of Eden by God and sank into the mortal world.
Seeing his brother's attitude soften, Lu Mingfei quickly added fuel to the fire: "And if you are worried that screwing in the assembly line is too simple, you can arrange for him to do the design, and then you can be the client. Let him come up with ten plans every day, revise them dozens of times, and if he is not satisfied, finally choose the first version.
What do you think? Isn’t it refreshing just to think about it? "
Lu Mingze listened to his description and this time he really couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, you are so bad."
"Good people are easily rejected, while bad people can run rampant." Seeing him smile, Lu Mingfei felt relieved, knowing that the matter should be settled, and then he said:
"Satan knows, he has my tattoo on his back."
"It's really an honor for Satan." Lu Mingze nodded slightly.
"So, is there any safe and feasible method?" Lu Mingfei pointed at the pure-blooded dragon next to him, "Is it a craniotomy or soul transfer?"
"There is no way to become an ordinary person, but there is a way to become an ordinary dragon." Lu Mingze finally gave in and told Lu Mingfei an effective method.
It can not only keep the power of the king of the earth and the mountain in this broken dragon body, but also allow Fenrir to break away from the dragon body and form a new cocoon without having to wait for thousands of years to slowly hatch. It can be as short as three to five months, or as long as seven to eight years.
Not to mention that Lu Mingfei had never heard of this method, even the three stupid dragon kings could not know it, and even if they knew it, they would not be able to implement it.
Only Lu Mingfei, the most powerful monster in the world, could do such an incredible thing.
After confirming that everything was correct, Lu Mingze retreated and disappeared into the void. Even though he agreed to Lu Mingfei's proposal, he didn't want to stay and witness Fenrir's rebirth with his own eyes.
After he left, Lu Mingfei cleared his throat and shouted to Silong:
"Everyone, look at me. I have something to tell you!"
