Dragon Clan starts from digging the corner of Kassel

Chapter 390 The Truth (Part Two)

—The Black King, Nidhogg.

In Bu Shun's dragon history class, Lu Mingfei heard him talk about this most important existence in the history of the dragon race.

The progenitor of the dragon race, the king of all armies, the ruthless and brutal god above gods...

He is the origin of everything, and He will also be the end of everything.

He ordained the destiny of all kings and proclaimed that He would one day return from the abyss.

……

Now, recalling the content of that class, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the way Bu Shun looked at him from the podium at that time...

It also seems to contain a complex expectation.

“Apart from that man named Bu Shun, no one in the organizations established by those mixed-race people can understand what kind of power the ‘Black King’ possesses.”

Lu Mingze sneered: "It is the creator of the dragon race! The source of dragon blood! The end of all things! This third planet in the solar system beneath humankind originated from a short rest by Nidhogg... Do you think that's why we can hardly see any trace of the other four dragon kings on Earth?"

"Because Midgard is Nibelungen, the land of Nidhogg! Every inch of this land belongs to it, and therefore no dragon king may be allowed to lay a finger on it!"

The little devil's words were like a thunderclap, tearing Lu Mingfei's thoughts apart and sending them flying in a chaotic mess like countless cotton wool.

Lu Mingfei quickly pressed, "You mean... Earth was created by Nidhogg?!"

The knowledge he gained from nine years of compulsory education and the information he was receiving at this moment collided head-on like two trains heading in opposite directions.

The things taught by geography teachers no longer exist!
The little devil curled his lip. "Why would I need to lie to you?"

"The entire history of human civilization is only a few thousand years, which is but a drop in the ocean compared to the long history of the dragon race. After several civil wars and the cover-up by the mastermind, the only truth about the dragon race that has been passed down to us today is a few words that are regarded as myths."

"I don't know everything..."

Lu Mingze paused for a moment, then said frankly, "But Nidhogg's affairs are closely related to you and me."

The shadows of the rainy night obscured the little devil's face, making it impossible to discern his expression at that moment. Within the shadows, the boy's golden eyes, ablaze with fiery passion, burned with such resentment and sorrow… as if capable of scorching the sudden downpour.

Xi Xiao watched the two "brothers" staring at each other silently, acting as a qualified listener.

He knew that what was about to be revealed was the deepest secret about the two of them that no one except Lu Mingze knew.

The sudden downpour in the mental world has soaked everything in sight, and the thunder, symbolizing the inner turmoil, plays wildly in the distorted city. The already extremely distorted buildings that construct heaven and earth, firmament and abyss, continue to disintegrate silently, reflecting the unease and fear in the hearts of young people.

Regarding the truth that was about to truly appear before him... Lu Mingfei felt a deep sense of 'worry'.

A premonition that everything I have so far will be shattered in the next moment arises from my soul without any reason, yet it is deeply rooted.

"If we knew the secret he was talking about..."

"My life...my past...my present..."

"Will everything be completely overturned...?"

Just as he hesitated, he felt a familiar gaze upon him.

Xi Xiao's gaze was as sharp and cold as ever, yet a hint of peace lurked deep within.

This reminded him of another person who had led him down this path, another mentor of his… This momentary similarity gave Lu Mingfei the feeling that he was also being watched by Bu Shun.

So he became resolute again, straightened his back, and ran in the opposite direction from the crowd.

"Tell me, what is reality..."

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and said softly, "Now that things have come to this, I will no longer be swayed by the 'past'."

"it is good!"

Lu Mingze shouted, a sharp smile curving his lips.

The boy, soaked by the rain, suddenly broke into a wild smile, spread his arms wide, and shouted, "This is how a brother I know should be!"

“Even if we’ve spent so much time in this false era, when you wake up, brother, we can still ride our gray steeds together and gallop across the desolate plains!” He stretched out his right hand, pointing his index finger at Lu Mingfei’s nose.

His once handsome and adorable face now appeared somewhat ferocious due to his smile. An indistinguishable mix of anger and pity painted Lu Mingze's expression as a dark shadow, leaving only a sharp, sneer.

Why can't you remember many things you did with your parents when you were a child?

Why did your parents abandon you, leaving you with your aunt for so many years without ever coming back to visit you?

"Why do you possess powers that are completely different from those of other hybrids?"

The little devil's gaze was fixed directly on Lu Mingfei's face, his voice like the clang of swords: "That 'Lu Mingfei' who was raised as an ordinary person by Qiao Weini and Lu Lincheng—"

"It never existed in the first place!!!"

Lu Mingfei clenched his fists, his expression like that of a cold, hard iron blank, and remained silent.

Perhaps not seeing the reaction he wanted, the little devil slightly suppressed the smile on his lips.

"Let me think about it..."

He withdrew his finger, tapped it on his temple, and said calmly, "About nineteen years ago."

"Before 'Lu Mingfei' was 'Lu Mingfei'... before 'Zero' was 'Renata Evgeny Chicherin,' before the three siblings, Genjiro, Genjiro, and Uesugi Erii, were born."

"One day..."

"In the frozen Black Swan Port of Siberia, a man named Herzog encountered a frozen corpse of a first-generation being."

"My God, that's the corpse of a first-generation species! What an incredible gift! It's like a treasure that fell from the sky and hit this man hard on the head, making him overjoyed as he was stuck in stagnant research."

Even if he couldn't truly understand the value of this mutilated body, he could still sense from even the smallest scales and claws that it was a reward from heaven!

"It was as if God himself had given him enlightenment, which allowed him to easily advance his research to a completely new level!"

“He extracted the fetal blood from the ‘cocoon’ and applied it to the people in his research institute without hesitation.”

"But dragon blood itself has extreme corrosiveness and exclusivity, let alone the fetal blood conceived during the cocooning of the first generation? The man knows how wasteful and reckless his crude approach is... but why not give it a try? If I don't experiment, how will I know it won't work?"

In those few words, Lu Mingfei only sensed a kind of...evil that made him feel nauseous from the bottom of his heart.

And a kind of almost empathetic...anger.

He stared at the little devil, whose eyes were practically blazing with fire, and was astonished by the sudden, solitary fire that had risen within him. Why did just a few words about past events ignite such anger in him? Why... did they feel so familiar?
The little devil gently rubbed his toes, as if he were rubbing a group of dead ants.

"The result was exactly what he expected."

"Without exception, all the adult subjects died on the operating table during the initial rejection reaction, and were twisted into unfinished Deadpools."

"He quickly turned his experiments to underage mixed-race individuals."

"Black Swan Harbor is a secret research base for dragon bloodlines. Herzog was in this icy land, raising hybrids that could become the source of power for the Frozen Earth Bear. At that time, he selected thirteen children from those he had painstakingly collected and raised, and experimentally injected diluted fetal blood, which had undergone several rounds of 'human engineering extraction,' into these lovely children who had more potential."

"It is a great pity that almost all the children died in pain and misery."

"But... is it a miracle, or the guidance of fate?"

The child hidden in the shadows grinned, revealing two sharp canine teeth: "That frail thirteenth child, whom he hadn't expected to be, actually survived."

That child was called "Zero".

"—That's us."

The only surviving individual from the first-generation dragon blood contamination experiment that should theoretically have failed.
