Chapter 449 That's Odin, you fake fan!
"Frigga III refuses to answer. The 18th execution begins."
The cold, mechanical sound echoed in the vast space.
"Splash—!"
The chains suddenly dropped, plunging the girl into the icy liquid. Her slender body tensed instantly, and she began to struggle violently. Bubbles poured from her mouth and nose, and her bound limbs twisted helplessly, creating ripples.
A few dozen seconds later, the chain was pulled up again.
"Cough! Cough cough cough—!"
The girl was pulled out of the water, coughing violently and vomiting up the liquid she had choked on. Her face was ashen, and her chest heaved violently, as if she were coughing up her lungs.
"The 18th execution is complete. The asphyxiation time was 47 seconds. Friga III, you may begin your statement."
The mechanical sound remained cold, and the only response it received was the girl's silent resignation.
So the girl was thrown into the water again.
"Splash—!"
The cold, mechanical sounds repeated incessantly, each execution lasting longer and more intense than the last.
But each time the girl hanging upside down left the water, no matter how much pain or numbness she felt, her eyes remained incredibly stubborn. Even when her body was nearing its limit, she still emitted a defiant, mocking gaze:
"No...don't waste time...I don't remember anything...kill me...let's start over..."
But the cold, mechanical voice remained unmoved: "Frigga III refuses to answer. Increase intensity. Execution number 45 begins."
Lu Mingfei calmly watched these repeated tortures, seeing the girl repeatedly immersed in water, her struggles growing weaker and weaker until she finally died, yet his eyes showed no surprise.
Because he knew perfectly well that this was not actual history, but rather the power of Chen Tianmu's words.
From beginning to end, Frija only had Chen Motong.
However, during the process of Chen Tianmu using his words to interrogate her consciousness, her mental consciousness had already been killed countless times in this illusion.
Each execution was a cruel erosion of her will, an attempt to destroy something hidden deep within her soul.
Lu Mingfei was unsure what was hidden deep within Chen Motong's consciousness, and since this repeated torture process seemed endless, he decided to delve deeper and uncover all the details in Chen Tianmu's brain that connected with Odin.
However, at that moment, a deafening thunderclap suddenly rang out over the Taihang Mountains without warning!
The night sky, which was originally sparsely lit by stars, has been completely covered by thick, inky clouds.
Thick, purple electric snakes lashed wildly through the clouds, tearing through the sky and emitting deafening roars.
The moment the thunder roared, a torrential downpour began, like a celestial river pouring down. The dense raindrops pounded against the rocks and the metal shell of the bunker, creating a loud crackling sound.
At the same time, Lu Mingfei clearly sensed that something was quietly blossoming deep within Chen Tianmu's mind.
It was as if a restriction on a long-buried spiritual seed had been triggered and shattered with a crash.
A powerful and eerie mental force erupted instantly, like a data turbulence caused by the Panda Burning Incense virus, completely shattering and covering the key memory areas he had not yet read, leaving only an endless thunderstorm.
Lu Mingfei's mental energy was forced to withdraw, and he could no longer obtain any useful information from this brain.
"Croak—! Croak—!"
Outside the mountains, flocks of crows burst forth like ghosts soaked in ink.
Ignoring the raging rain, the ravenous cries of crows converged from all directions, surging into the bunker's breach in a dark mass. They swirled and danced between the passageways and the dome, their crimson-gold eyes exuding a strong sense of foreboding.
Inside the fortress, Lu Mingfei's guards had not yet attempted to drive them away, but they were soon besieged by a flock of crows, their roars filled with fear and rage.
Just as the war between humans and birds broke out.
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump—"
The heavy, rhythmic sound of horses' hooves pierced through the torrential rain and thunder, echoing from the surrounding mountains.
The sound had a strange echo, as if it were not a horse running, but an army in heavy armor marching through the mountains and forests.
What's even more unsettling is that the sound of hooves gives the illusion that it's not the ground being stepped on, but the space itself, carrying a heavy sense of trampling on rules.
Fingel's expression changed, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it! Not again?! Are these things mass-produced?"
He clearly remembered the eight-legged winged horse he had encountered on the elevated road in the Neapolitan area.
Nono and Caesar were initially surprised that Lu Mingfei had suddenly stopped moving while holding Chen Tianmu's head down. Now, startled by the sudden change in the world and the strange sounds, they were temporarily freed from their confusion.
Caesar immediately released his Word of Power: Kamaitachi, sensing countless battles taking place within the mountain fortress, and hundreds upon hundreds of heavy breathing sounds rapidly approaching from the surrounding mountains. His expression immediately changed.
Seeing Fingel's reaction, he seemed to know what was going on outside. Just as he was about to ask, he saw that Fingel had already walked quickly to the monitor on the side of the room, and his ten fingers were typing rapidly, instantly bringing up the external monitoring.
Under the cover of torrential rain and darkness, countless pairs of crimson-gold eyes could be seen lighting up one after another in the mountains, like will-o'-the-wisps!
Countless shadowy figures seemed to be summoned by some supreme being, emerging from their hidden lairs and converging on the bunker.
Densely packed, covering the entire mountainside!
Caesar's eyes widened: "Where did all these Deadpools come from?!"
Fingel's lips twitched, and he pointed at Chen Tianmu, who was being held captive by Lu Mingfei: "I'd like to know too, why don't you go ask the person involved?"
Nono and Caesar followed his fingertips and saw that Lu Mingfei had released his hand from Chen Tianmu's head, stepped back, and quietly looked at Chen Tianmu, who was slumped on the sofa.
What happened next made their hearts pound.
Chen Tianmu, who had been lying on the sofa like a rag doll with his consciousness broken, began to twitch slightly and undergo an unknown transformation.
His dazed eyes were filled with pure golden light, devoid of all human emotion, leaving only coldness and inhuman majesty.
The bones throughout his body emitted a teeth-grinding crackling sound, as if an invisible hand was forcibly stretching and deforming them.
His drooping hand stiffly reached into his robes, fumbling for a pair of ancient, menacing bronze masks with strange patterns, which he slowly pressed against his face, which revealed fine scales and bluish-black veins.
"Holy crap! Nono, it seems your dad isn't planning on living like a human being anymore!"
Fingel, a die-hard JoJo fan, was instantly horrified upon seeing this incredibly familiar scene. He looked at Lu Mingfei, his voice urgent:
"Junior brother! Why are you just watching?!"
Lu Mingfei still didn't make a move, but simply watched Chen Tianmu complete his transformation ritual.
Just as the bronze mask slowly pressed onto Chen Tianmu's face—
"boom!"
A dragon's might, far exceeding anything before, erupted from Chen Tianmu's body like a volcanic eruption.
His bloodline purity soared to an unbelievable level in an instant, his dragonification intensified, his skin was rapidly covered with hard, bluish-black scales, twisted bone spurs and horns pierced his forehead and joints, his muscles bulged and his entire torso expanded and twisted, tearing his expensive suit, making him look like the Hulk's nemesis, Abomination, in a transformation.
Seeing the distortion on her upper body begin to spread downwards, and her trousers becoming ripped, Lu Mingfei raised his hand to cover Erii's eyes and turned her around:
"Eri, the following scene is not suitable for children. Please leave for a while and come back after you have finished killing the things outside."
The girl blinked twice, nodded cutely, and took out the platinum duck pendant hanging around her neck.
With a light tap of his index finger, a burst of light appeared instantly, from which a crimson longsword was drawn.
Fingel's eyes widened, and he exclaimed "Holy crap!" as he drooled over the sight of the sword being drawn in mid-air.
To be honest, he's incredibly handsome.
Nono and Caesar were not to be outdone. They had noticed Erii's treasured duck pendant long ago, but they only thought it was a token of love from Lu Mingfei. They had no idea that it contained a storage function that would make the crazy guys in the equipment department kneel down and exclaim "miracle".
Erii, carrying her sword, walked out with cheerful steps, not worried about getting lost, because Lu Mingfei had already shared a map in her mind and thoughtfully marked the route.
As soon as she disappeared around the corner of the steel corridor, the noisy cawing of crows turned into a hoarse wail of silence.
Before Caesar and the others could even express their feelings, a low, hoarse breathing sound, like a broken bellows, came from behind.
When everyone turned around, they found that Chen Tianmu had swelled to two meters tall and no longer had any human-like features.
He, or rather it, raised its right hand, fingers spread, and made a loose grasp towards Fingel.
Fingel instinctively shielded his junior brothers and sisters in front of him to prevent them from being attacked from behind.
Unexpectedly, a tall metal cabinet next to him suddenly began to shake violently. He jumped to the side like a startled bird, assuming a defensive stance similar to that of Ultraman Fighting.
"Bang!!"
The metal cabinet exploded with a loud bang!
Amidst the scattering of fragments, a magnificent set of dark gold full-body armor, inscribed with ancient runes, flew out as if it had come to life. Its parts disintegrated in mid-air and then precisely and seamlessly fastened onto Chen Tianmu, who had completely transformed into a dragon!
In an instant, Chen Tianmu's change at this moment overlapped with a scene that had left a deep impression on Fingel's memory:
"Holy crap, Iron Man?!"
"That's Odin, you fake fan!" Nono and Caesar were shocked, but they still couldn't help but refute Fingel.
The unimaginable changes before their eyes were hard for them to understand. How could a person become a god from mythology in the blink of an eye?
Lu Mingfei was still in no hurry to interrupt the somewhat lengthy transformation process. After all, compared to the transformations of later generations that involved singing, dancing, and rapping, Chen Tianmu's God King transformation was just average.
He turned back with considerable interest and said to Nono, who could not hide her shock:
"Look, your father has already found a way to die."
Nono was speechless for a moment, and said urgently, "What kind of time is this? How can you still be in the mood to make sarcastic remarks? Stop him right now!"
At this moment, without Lu Mingfei saying another word, she clearly knew that the man she once called her father was completely beyond saving, inside and out.
"You don't know?" Lu Mingfei shrugged, turning his head back to look at "Odin," who had completed his transformation and was radiating a heavy aura. His tone remained calm.
"Karman's transformation time is invincible."
Fingel nodded vigorously, then hesitated, because he remembered that there seemed to be quite a few famous scenes in Kamen Rider where the transformation was interrupted.
But if the boss says so, then it is so. If he tries to explain, it would be a slap in the face to the boss, so he chooses to remain silent.
Lu Mingfei clearly didn't care about this trivial matter. He wasn't trying to save face for Chen Tianmu; he just wanted to see with his own eyes how Odin controlled these puppets.
If Chu Tianjiao hadn't died, but had also become like this, then this sample would have extremely high research value.
The key to saving Uncle Lacchu lies in how to free these deeply controlled individuals from Odin's control.
Therefore, Chen Tianmu cannot just kill them indiscriminately; he must capture them intact and bring them back for careful study.
At the same moment Chen Tianmu completed his transformation, Xia Mi, who was watching a movie with Chu Zihang in the city of Beijing, suddenly stopped.
She suddenly raised her head, her long hair flying wildly, her clothes standing still, and stared straight in the direction of the Taihang Mountains.
"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang noticed her unusual behavior and picked up the remote control to press pause.
A serious expression appeared on Xia Mi's delicate face: "It seems like there's Odin's aura over there."
Although it was faint and a bit strange, that unpleasant feeling was definitely there.
Chu Zihang's eyes darkened instantly, but knowing that Lu Mingfei had taken Caesar and the others out for a while, he wondered if they had discovered something. So he sent a message to Lu Mingfei to try to contact him, but after waiting for a while, there was no response.
He had been to Nibelungen and knew that Odin's rain could affect reality, block signals, and make it impossible to contact them, which meant that they were very likely on the scene.
They even entered the Nibelungen.
Chu Zihang clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white.
He wanted to go, but it was too far away, and given Lu Mingfei's swift and decisive style, the battle would probably be over by the time he arrived, making it no different from a teleportation autopsy.
Similarly, in another luxury suite, Lao Tang and Constantine, who were playing cards, also sensed something. The two brothers exchanged a glance, put down their cards, walked to the balcony, and looked at the Taihang Mountains in the distance, where lightning flashed and dark clouds gathered.
"Brother, shall we go and take a look?" Constantine asked softly, still thinking about the old score he and his brother had been set up by Odin.
Old Tang simply waved his hand upon hearing this: "There's no need. With Mingming's abilities, going there now would only be enough to collect Odin's corpse."
"Besides, you know how afraid Odin is of death. Maybe that thing over there is just his puppet."
With that, he patted Constantine on the shoulder, turned around, put his arm around Ryoma Kaoru who had followed him out, and went back to the living room to continue playing cards.
And things did indeed unfold much as they had predicted.
Inside the bunker, Chen Tianmu, clad in dark gold armor and transformed into Odin, seemed to be driven entirely by some kind of instinct or command. His golden eyes, half-hidden by the one-eyed mask, immediately locked onto Nuonuo, and a chilling killing intent surged forth as if it were a tangible thing!
He slowly raised his hand, and an invisible force gathered in the air, seemingly about to condense into the iconic, infallible gun, Gungnir!
However, just as his momentum reached its peak, and he was about to kill the woman to prove his Dao—
"Smack!"
A crisp, loud slap rang out abruptly.
Lu Mingfei delivered a powerful, remote slap to the face of the man covered by the dark gold helmet. There was no earth-shattering energy collision, no dazzling incantation light; it was just a simple, unadorned slap.
Odin, who had just completed his transformation and was full of imposing presence, was hit head-on by a dump truck that was overloaded and speeding, and was sent flying backwards without any resistance!
With a deafening crash, the armored man and his companion slammed into the metal wall behind them, creating a clear, human-shaped dent in the sturdy alloy. The man was embedded in the dent, unable to move, and dark red blood dripped continuously from beneath the twisted mask, which still bore the marks of a slap.
The change was too fast, yet it was both unexpected and reasonable. Nono and Caesar's lips twitched twice before returning to normal.
Meanwhile, Fingel stood silently protecting Lu Mingfei on either side, his face filled with pride, as if the two of them had just scored 81 points together.
