Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 372: Dragon King level bloodline, absorbing the time gem?

Inside the battleship.

When Lu Mingfei opened his eyes again from the metal chair, he suddenly had a strange feeling - his body was too small now.

It's not the feeling of being "small" because the power in the body has expanded and cannot be contained by the body, but I truly feel that my current body size is "smaller" than in a normal state.

And a lot smaller.

Lu Mingfei subconsciously raised one hand, and the metal lock that originally bound him opened automatically. On the hand that seemed unchanged, dark scales emerged. However, unlike the previous scales, the current scales had almost no biological texture. They were more like some special metal or gem, and the surface was glowing with a faint light that was not sure whether it was reflected or emitted by the scales themselves.

As Lu Mingfei's mind moved, strands of white silk threads floated out from his fingertips and hung down like spider silk or silk.

Tony, who had been standing by, was stunned for a moment - silk threads growing out of scales, what kind of evolution is this?
"Tony, do you have any white mice or something like that?" Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Tony and asked.

"wait for me."

Tony turned and left, and came back a moment later with two cages containing two Deadpool mice. Each of them was the size of a house cat, with bloodshot golden eyes, and was gnawing at the alloy cages with their sharp, ferocious teeth. Fortunately, this was an alloy specially modified by Tony. If it was a common metal, even tungsten, it would be ground open by their continuously growing teeth within a few days.

He did have a laboratory in the battleship, and since there were a lot of technologies from Asgard that could be used directly in the laboratory, it was very convenient, so he simply found a cabin in the battleship that had scientific research functions and modified it.

The laboratory in this battleship also played a certain role in developing the potion that could allow Lu Mingfei's bloodline to evolve again.

As Lu Mingfei's golden eyes fell on the cage, the two little white mice that were originally gnawing at the cage frantically suddenly froze and lay down in the cage without any warning.

"What do you want the little white mouse for?" Tony placed the little white mouse in front of Lu Mingfei and asked curiously, "And what's going on with the silk thread in your hand? Isn't this dragon blood? Why are you spinning silk like a silkworm?"

“You are the silkworm! This is not silk, but I can’t really say what it is. You can see for yourself.” Lu Mingfei put his hand close to the cage and shook the silk thread on his fingertips. The silk thread spread out as if it had life, and instantly wrapped up the two little white mice, forming two white cocoons in the blink of an eye.

"You said this isn't silk, but it's already formed into cocoons." Tony complained, but he stared at the two little white mice wrapped in cocoons without blinking, and became more and more curious.

These silk threads look beautiful. They are not completely pure white, but also have a hint of pure silver. If you look at them at night, they may be as bright and moving as a beam of solidified moonlight.

But some biological instinct reminded Tony to stay away from these seemingly beautiful things because they were very dangerous.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei said.

It took only a few seconds from the time the little white mouse was wrapped in the silk thread to the time he opened his mouth.

The silk thread broke from Lu Mingfei's fingertips. He drew a line in the air with his finger, and the airflow that was difficult to see with the naked eye turned into a precise scalpel, cutting open the cocoon, revealing the mummies of two Deadpool mice inside.

Tony was a little surprised: "Is this... Devouring?"

“Almost,” Lu Mingfei nodded. “The useful parts of the two mice were absorbed by the white threads and transported into my body. It can be roughly understood as swallowing up all the useful nutrients.”

"This ability seems a bit villainous." Tony raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Mingfei, "But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be much different from your Silver Oak Sword?"

"They can't be compared to the Silver Oak Sword. These threads are very fragile. At most, they can only bully ordinary animals and humans. Although the absorption range is large, they actually have no lethality. Moreover, they only plunder nutrients. The Silver Oak Sword is more fundamentally plundering vitality and soul power." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "If I have to say, I feel that this ability is actually more like a way of... eating quickly."

"Eat quickly and get a lot of nutrients?" Tony frowned slightly, "But what's the use of this?"

"I guess... it's to obtain sufficient nutrients so that I can quickly change my physical condition and body shape," Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, "I feel that this bloodline evolution has given me a lot of abilities that I shouldn't have."

"What do you mean by abilities that you shouldn't have?" Tony wondered.

"I now feel that I can use part of my body to create a special backup container. If my current body dies, I can instantly transfer my spirit and strength into the container and resurrect. As long as there is enough energy, I can also nurture a gigantic body and turn into a dragon." Lu Mingfei looked at Tony expressionlessly.

"Wait a minute! Aren't these the cocooning and gigantism of pure-blooded dragons that you are talking about?" Tony reacted immediately.

"Yes, these two abilities are only possessed by pure-blooded dragons. No matter how powerful a hybrid is, even if it can wrestle with a second-generation species, it can't do what ordinary dragons can do," Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, "but now, I can do it. And I think it's very simple."

"This, could it be that..." Tony suddenly thought of a possibility.

"And most importantly, I can not only 'see' the elements now, but also directly command them... and even more than just the elements." Lu Mingfei raised his hand, and the cage containing the little white mouse deformed, split, and reassembled. The two cages merged into a strangely shaped metal block. "I can also command metal."

Without waiting for Tony to say anything, Lu Mingfei raised his hand again and knocked on the metal block that the cage was fused into. The metal block immediately shattered and scattered into small thin pieces all over the ground.

"I can also see the internal structure of things, the flow of stress, and even guide and change the direction of the original force by exerting force myself."

Lu Mingfei rubbed his temples. “And I don’t think it’s an illusion. I can move space and even timeline with my own mind without relying on the power of the Space Stone or the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamotto. Of course, it’s not as easy as with the help of the stones.”

"Why don't these abilities sound like what ordinary dragons should have? Commanding metal, that's not what the Bronze and Fire King you mentioned..."

"It is the authority that only the King of Bronze and Fire have. Manipulating power is the authority of the King of Earth and Mountains. She told me this herself. As for manipulating space and time... I'm afraid it is also the authority of other Dragon Kings." Lu Mingfei said.

Besides, if one person possesses the authority of the four great monarchs, then if he is not the White King, then he can only be...

Tony blinked: "Ming Fei, you..."

The room suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, Lu Mingfei stared at Tony and said, "Tony, do you think I am really a human?" Regarding this question, he had actually had some doubts in his heart a long time ago. After all, some of the characteristics he showed did not seem like what a hybrid should have. But considering that over the past thousands of years, there have occasionally been some monsters among the hybrids that are powerful enough to compete with the first generation, so it is not completely impossible.

But now... the power he possesses after his bloodline awakening this time is indeed no longer that of a half-blood.

Facing Lu Mingfei's gaze, Tony didn't say anything to comfort him. He just raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "No matter what species you are, you are Lu Mingfei, right?"

Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to say anything, Tony continued, "And to be honest, you are already a relatively normal person here. Thor is an alien, his brother is a frost giant, Hulk is the Hulk, and Lucifer is simply not a human. Next we are even going to fight a living planet..."

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by a relatively normal 'thing'? At least use the word 'organism'!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.

"So, you don't need to worry too much about your identity," Tony said. "Suppose, even if you really are a dragon, then at least you look better than the Hulk, right? At least even if you really become a dragon, at least you'll be majestic and handsome, not like the Hulk who walks around in boxer briefs."

Lu Mingfei thought for a few seconds, then shook his head in principle: "As Hulk's good friend, I can't belittle his appearance with you. Besides, he didn't want to look like that, we should understand him."

"You've already damaged him to pieces in just two sentences. Fortunately, he didn't hear it, otherwise he would have dismantled the battleship." Tony rolled his eyes.

“Father God, your light has become even more majestic.” Lucifer interrupted from somewhere and unfolded a holographic screen not far away. On the screen, his huge blood-red metal dragon body was kneeling respectfully.

Haha...Michael, you didn't expect that?

So what if you are an archangel? So what if you spread faith on Earth? I am now in control of the warship. I am the most powerful assistant of the Father!
The battleship where Father God is is heaven, and now I am the angel closest to Father God in heaven!
"By the way, Lucifer, you're here at the right time. Where's Michael?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Lucifer: ...

"Father God, Michael is preaching on Earth with your pastor." Lucifer secretly stepped on Michael and complained that what he did was no different from that of a pastor.

"When we go to fight Ego, we have to bring Michael along," Lu Mingfei said, "He's also a strong fighter. Tony, when do you think it would be best for us to set off?"

"The transformation of the battleship has been completed, including the main gun that we asked Master Ancient One to help strengthen using the energy of the Rainbow Bridge. However, Master Ancient One left directly after strengthening the main gun. Banner and I made many modifications afterwards, so we are not sure if it will conflict with Master Ancient One's strengthening of the main gun. So if possible, it is best to ask her to come again and give a final inspection," Tony said, "and since your bloodline has evolved again, it is best to familiarize yourself with your new abilities first. It will not be too late to go after you are familiar with it."

"That's right," Lu Mingfei nodded, "but I'd better summon Master Ancient One first. If I want to train new abilities, it's better to go back to Earth. While I'm still in the battleship, I can ask Master Ancient One to recheck the main gun. It won't take long, and I also need to borrow some power from her... Wait, didn't I tell you how to summon Master Ancient One before I left? I also left the summoning anchor Eye of Agamotto to you. Didn't you go directly to Master Ancient One to inspect the battleship after you modified it?"

"I looked for her, but she ignored me," Tony spread his hands. "To be precise, the magic circle that summoned her didn't respond at all, just like a phone call that couldn't be reached. I guess it's because I'm not the Sorcerer Supreme. Even with the Eye of Agamotto as an anchor to provide contact, she may not be able to receive the message."

"No wonder then... Never mind, I'll come, I'm sure I can contact Master Ancient One."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand, and the metal ground naturally deformed, leaving dents and marks, turning into a complex magic circle.

After his bloodline evolved again, in addition to the newly acquired abilities, his physical and mental strength also improved by leaps and bounds. In this case, the summoning array could even be simpler.

He took the Eye of Agamotto from Tony and placed it in the center of the summoning circle. As Lu Mingfei chanted a few short syllables, a familiar translucent figure reappeared.

Gu Yi's spirit floated in the air expressionlessly, looking down at Lu Mingfei without saying a word.

"Master Ancient One, your power seems to have become even stronger!" Lu Mingfei was a little amazed.

This was not entirely a compliment, he could really feel that Master Ancient One's spirit was stronger than the last time they met.

I don’t know what she went through.

But this is also a good thing. The Ancient One has become stronger, which means she can lend him more power. He has not forgotten that he still has to borrow some extra power from the Ancient One so that he can go back and use the magic of reading memories on Herzog or Odin.

"What's going on this time?" Gu Yi's tone revealed a kind of indifference that came from seeing through life and death, or rather, a lack of desire to live. "I have already strengthened the main gun."

Long before she planned to retire, she used the power of the Time Stone to observe Ego and his sowing of the seeds of transformation on Earth, but according to the normal timeline, the right people would handle this matter and it would not affect the Earth, so she never cared about it.

I didn't expect that now...

"Well, I asked you to come because you are so amazing and you modified the main gun so quickly. After you left, Tony and his team got some new technology from the battleship and made a major modification to the main gun. I need you to check again whether the new modification will affect the enhancement you made to the main gun before," Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands, "Secondly... I want to borrow a little more strength from you... Don't worry, I don't need much this time, just a little bit."

Ancient One:......

For a moment, an idea even came to her mind - why not go back to being the Sorcerer Supreme?

She had a bad feeling - although Lu Mingfei said that he did not want to live a life of borrowing power and had no intention of using magic by borrowing power from Vishanti and other magical gods like other supreme wizards, he might still use magic frequently in the end.

It's just that the one he borrowed power from wasn't Vishanti...

It’s her, Ancient One!

It floated in silence for a long time, and Gu Yi didn't say a word.

Lu Mingfei began to doubt whether he had not summoned the spirit of Master Ancient One herself, but instead summoned her clone, and now the connection between the clone and the original body was lost.

"I'll go check the main gun. As for borrowing power..." After a long silence, Gu Yi proposed a bold idea and looked down at Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, have you ever thought about absorbing the power of the Time Stone?"
