Chapter 362: The Throne of Thorns (VII)

The sound of horse hooves between heaven and earth was getting closer and closer, clear, slow, and heavy. Every step shook the rivers and the sky. It seemed that every Odin and his horse stood tall and upright, like the arrival of the god of death, bringing with it a strong smell of decay.

This was indeed a spectacular scene, with thousands of cavalrymen charging towards the same person with death covering the sky and the sun. This was the most magnificent war in the world. If she were a spectator, Lu Mingfei would even want to have some popcorn and Coke to enjoy it, preferably with a movie theater-quality screen. But when she became the target of those cavalrymen, it was not something that would make people laugh.

She closed her eyes, and the majesty of a king slowly descended upon her. The transformation into a dragon was completed in an instant. Her entire body was covered with scales, and her wings pierced her back and spread out bloodily. When she opened her eyes again, she was the giant dragon standing tall. The light passed through a cold arc, and she soared into the sky, towards the broken sky.

Nibelungen was already completely shattered, and Lu Mingfei could easily reach the edge of its sky. The violent storm outside was even worse than that in Nibelungen. The dark clouds like thick ink were pouring down the highest rainfall in the city's history. The thickness was immeasurable, and the wind and rain were all blowing in the face. Even the dragon found it difficult to open its eyes easily to face them.

Lu Mingfei raised the floating light high, passed through the Nibelungen, and faced the dark sky. Doing so would probably bring Odin's attack into reality, and then the secret of the dragon clan would be completely exposed. But this might be the only chance. There was only one possibility to deal with so many Odins at the same time. She didn't know if she could succeed, but she had to try.

In reality, this road is hidden in deep mountains and steep cliffs. At a time when almost all the city's external highways are closed, there is no possibility of any human habitation around, and one cannot see the huge Tyrannosaurus Rex rushing into the dense clouds in one breath. The golden blade light is like a dazzling dance, and like the moment when the sun pierces the dark clouds. With the storm and sword shadow, Lu Mingfei cuts the dark clouds in the sky apart.

If you look from space, you will find that a complete circular gap suddenly appeared in the dense rain clouds above the city. This is simply impossible in meteorology, but for the dragon clan, wind and rain are a manifestation of the elements, and nothing is impossible.

The clouds broke and the moon shone. The light filtered through the gaps in the dark clouds, straight as a sword and as cold as a sword. Lu Mingfei raised her head and bathed in the pure moonlight. Her majestic golden eyes were as confused as a naive child at this moment.

Behind her, thousands of Gungnir's broken blades formed a dense arrow net. The Odins could not leave the Nibelung, but the weapons in their hands could. Everyone threw their weapons out, and the sky was filled with a dense rain of deadly arrows.

The golden gift exploded above Lu Mingfei's head, accompanied by the falling of countless golden streams of light, like a meteor shower made of gold. The entire sky was covered by this dense meteor shower, which constantly collided with Odin's Gungnir arrows in the sky. Each time there was an astonishing explosion, and the smoke almost merged into one, blocking the view. Odin could not see Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei could not see Odin.

Word Spirit·Skylight, with the support of Lu Mingze's power, this is almost the strongest version of Skylight. Even with only the moonlight, it can burst out with amazing power.

This is not the first time in history that the two supreme spirits have clashed. Many years ago, in Siberia, in today's Nibelungen, Valhalla and Tianguang had fought each other. But this time may be the last one, because Lu Mingfei himself has become a member of Tianguang!

In the thick smoke and dust, the black dragon shadow fell straight down, like a star chasing the moon. The golden eyes swept over all the Odins in the Nibelung in a very short field of view. There, the Odins formed a perfect military formation. They only threw out half of Gungnir in their hands, and the other half was still in their hands as a spear.

There is only one chance, and there is only one real Odin. Long Tong scanned the eagle helmet masks on the Odins' heads one by one. Lu Mingfei was trying to find the mask that had been pried open before. That one was Odin's real body.

The process of falling from the sky took only a few seconds, which was enough time for the Golden Eyes to quickly review it, but Lu Mingfei looked at every mask carefully and still couldn't find the guy who should appear.

How could this be? Has Odin recovered? Or has he never participated in Valhalla at all? This army is just heroic spirits, and the cunning Odin is hiding somewhere else?

The distance was getting closer and closer, and there was only a moment to swing the sword. With potential energy, kinetic energy and surprise attack, this sword would definitely hit the target. Once Lu Mingfei entered the cavalry formation, he would be pierced by thousands of Gungnir while attacking. No matter how fast his body recovered, he could not withstand such a heavy blow.

"Chu Zihang!" She yelled the name, hoping to get some response. There was really no other way. This was her last trump card. The fate of this world line would be decided at this moment. The king who fought alone was eventually defeated by loneliness. In the battle of thousands of armies, she had no army of her own.

A pair of golden eyes slowly raised up, like a model student who subconsciously wanted to stand up and report after his name was called. Odin suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei, his eyes were still so calm and without any emotion, but the memory of another person hidden deep in his heart still betrayed him.

This action did not escape Lu Mingfei's scrutiny. In an instant, Lu Mingfei confirmed her target. There was only one person, only one person who would react to this name. Even though he was already Odin, deep down, he would always be the onii-chan of Shilan Middle School who would never make mistakes!

Ancient testimony fell from the sky, a manifestation of Satsuma from Japanese swordsmanship. This was Gen Chisei's gift to Lu Mingfei as a thank you for protecting Eri on the night of Tokyo. The dragon transformation was quietly lifted at this moment, and in the golden meteors was a girl roaring like a lion.

Countless Gungnirs came to intercept, which further proved that Lu Mingfei's goal was correct, but she was too small now, just an ant compared to those huge weapons, and she was faster! The floating light hit the helmet on Odin's neck, and indeed found the scar left before. With the huge force of the oblique swing, Odin's helmet was lifted up into the air. The fascia connected to the host's head could once extend to more than ten meters. He even wanted to pull the mask back, but the golden knife light had cut them off one by one, and he could only watch the helmet fly farther and farther.

Lu Mingfei brushed past Odin and stumbled forward several steps after landing. The countless Gungnirs chasing after her all stopped at the same moment as if they were hit by a time-stopping magic. The huge bodies of Odin quickly disintegrated like dust and drifted away to an unknown distance with the wind.

"Ming Fei."

Someone was calling her. Lu Mingfei turned around in surprise. Although it was only for a moment, before those Odins disappeared, she seemed to see someone waving at her. It was a farewell that had never been said to her.

Was it dad or mom? Or both of them? She didn't have time to see it, but that belated call was real. Those two simple words seemed to evoke the warmth in the deepest part of her heart.

As her grip loosened, Fu Guang fell to the ground with a clang, and Lu Mingfei fell with her head raised. Her physical strength had been drained to the limit. She had no mind to look at the situation around her. She didn't know whether the mask would be like the Stone Mask in JOJO, and she couldn't find a way to make Chu Zihang wear it again.

"Miss Mingfei, now is not the time to rest. You still have a lot of work to do." A beautiful face looked down at Lu Mingfei from above. Lu Mingze shook what he was holding in his hand. The dragon bone cross of the King of Sky and Wind, the King of Ocean and Water, plus the power of the other two dragon kings that Lu Mingfei now possessed, the four great monarchs were complete.

“Can’t you see that I’m exhausted? I’ve saved the world as you said, and now the legendary hero just wants to take a good nap.” Lu Mingfei said weakly.

"You have dealt with Odin, but the Black King is still resurrecting." Lu Mingze blinked.

“Oh my god! We agreed that if we stop Odin, we can also stop the Black King, but you actually framed me!” Lu Mingfei widened her eyes, her face full of anger.

"Who told you to take a rest now? Get up and finish the last job, otherwise the world you love will be ruined, and you will no longer have the title of Mrs. Chu in your future. All you will have is a grave covered with weeds and without ashes."

"Trusting you was my biggest mistake!"

Lu Mingfei tried to raise her body angrily. It was such a simple action, but she tried three times in a row but failed. In the end, it was Lu Mingze who helped her and she succeeded.

“I said, if you can win, we can solve everything. While the Black King hasn’t fully awakened yet, chew up these bone residues. We will end all the tragic fates on this world line. It will be a big, big, big wave.” Lu Mingze gestured with his hands.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the dragon bone crosses. The great feat of eating them was roughly equivalent to finishing a hot pot.

"Do you have Coke? It's a bit troublesome to chew dry." She had to take those things that looked very heavy.

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago. We are sisters of the same mind. How can I not know what you are thinking?" Lu Mingze smiled and handed over a can of Coke.

"What is that big bobo?" Lu Mingfei began to chew it. It felt a bit like some famous dish. Considering that she had good teeth now, chewing it really gave her the feeling of being back home and sitting in front of a pressure cooker and feasting on it.

"Sound waves." Lu Mingze said, "By recovering the power of the four monarchs and adding me, we can be equal to Nidhogg in the power of Word Spirit. His Word Spirit can work on us, and our Word Spirit can certainly work on him. You only need to use Word Spirit Emperor once more to make him go back, but this time it is the largest Word Spirit in history, covering the entire earth. Just like many years ago, Nidhogg used this Word Spirit to control the bloodline of all dragons, you can also use this Word Spirit to wipe out all dragon bloodlines at once, so that Nidhogg can't come back."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, staring at Lu Mingze blankly: "Why are you willing to say it now?"

“Because it’s only now that we can do it.”

“No.” Lu Mingfei shook her head. “If all dragon bloodlines are reduced to zero, then apart from me who released the Word Spirit, there will be no more dragon bloodlines in this world, including you. That means… you will die, because you rely on me to survive. Your power is with me, so you should not exist.”

Lu Mingze smiled faintly, looking away inconspicuously, "Why are you so smart? Can't you just pretend to be stupid and pretend you don't know? For a happy ending, do you have to add some twists to it to make you feel at ease?"

"You have spent so much time trying to break the fate of the dragon race, and now you are finally going to succeed. You will no longer repeat the cycle of awakening and being killed in time, but you are going to disappear. Can the ending of a story without a protagonist be considered perfect?"

"It's just that I in this world will disappear." Lu Mingze said nonchalantly, "I only have to pay the price of my dragon disappearing in exchange for the suspension of the Black King's awakening. I think this is a good deal. Your friends Samson and Xia Mi can still live as normal human girls, and all the mixed-bloods in the world will no longer live in another dark world to keep each other together for warmth. The Blood Sorrow is really sad, isn't it? Without that thing, everyone can embrace the world they like. Dragon-slaying heroes are just gilding themselves by lonely people."

"Then... where will you go?" Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly. Once you get used to someone's company, it will be very difficult to say goodbye. Although there have been many distrusts along the way, most things are still moving in a good direction. She doesn't want Lu Mingze to disappear so easily.

"Let's go to other world lines." Lu Mingze put his hands on his head and walked towards the river. He kicked Odin's mask away and watched the thing draw a perfect parabola in the air.

The wind and rain in Nibelungen are stopping, and the world is gradually dying. The shattered fragments are like a huge mirror that is completely broken. A dazzling rain of fragments falls from the sky, splashing into the river and splashing countless water.

"You proved the feasibility of this method, so I can replicate it in many world lines with you. There will always be a world line where I can survive. I will stay there, and maybe I will really become your Lu Mingze."

Lu Mingze turned around, tilted her head, and stuck out her tongue. The atmosphere that should have been one of farewell seemed to be less sad after she said that.

"The other Lu Mingfei, right? Then I hope it's not your younger brother, you can be my sister, so that when the other Lu Mingfei when she was a child fights with Lu Mingze, she will have a helper." Lu Mingfei smiled faintly. Lu Mingze has this ability. She can make annoying topics interesting.

"Okay, then I promise you. When we go to other places, I will continue to partner with you and beat up that fat boy." Lu Mingze waved his fist at the air with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Can we have a hug when we say goodbye?" Lu Mingfei opened her arms.

“Are you so pretentious?” Lu Mingze curled his lips.

"Yeah, I'm just such a pretentious person." Lu Mingfei smiled and patted her thigh, signaling Lu Mingze to hurry up.

“If someone doesn’t know, they would think you are a beast and want to eat me alive…” Lu Mingze was talking dirty, but he still walked towards Lu Mingfei obediently.

Lu Mingfei suddenly pounced over and gave Lu Mingze a very, very, very heavy hug, as if she wanted to merge her into her body, trembling slightly.

"Thank you... To be honest, if possible, I don't want to say those two words." Lu Mingfei said softly.

"Life is a story made up of countless encounters and partings. If there are encounters, there will also be partings. Just like what you said to Eri, it is impossible to accompany you for a lifetime. I have been watching you since the moment you were born. I have been watching you for a long time. It is time to say goodbye." Lu Mingze paused, "No... it means goodbye forever."

"Well, goodbye."

"Then let's sing? If you delay any longer, who knows what more terrible crisis will come. Maybe you will be dragged into the trench by the earthquake." Lu Mingze patted Lu Mingfei gently. At this moment, it was hard to tell whether she was the younger sister or the older one of the two.

That should be a day that is engraved in textbooks, but it should also be a day that is forgotten in history. On that day, the world was hit by doomsday, and the concept of dragons no longer existed. The power of words that was born in ancient times once again bloomed between the sea and the sky. Every hybrid, every dragon, and even every ordinary human heard the hymn of words that only existed in the concept.

Then their bloodline was washed away, the violent power vanished, the volcano fell silent, the sea became calm again, the cracks left by the earthquake became history, and people were grateful for the remaining life after the disaster. They worked harder in the subsequent reconstruction and regarded the nightmare of that day as a topic of conversation after dinner.

No one knows that someone had gone through a lot on that day, watching the fingertips held in his palm move farther and farther away from her, and finally drift away with the wind.

Tears are a very annoying thing. They simply write one's emotions on one's face, which can be touching, sad, or happy. They strengthen the emotional bond between individuals and groups.

This is how textbooks explain tears, but for Lu Mingfei, her tears were only shed because of sadness. The road from Cinderella to Snow White was so long, and when she looked back she saw that all she saw on the ground were thorns and roses. It turned out that she had swallowed all her tears long ago.

But at this moment, I still want to have a good cry.
