Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

"I am a staunch materialist, and now I have to point out the loopholes in your words. First and foremost, if Dad and Mom died as early as 1992, then how was I born? In fact, I was born later than the beginning of that year and in late July." This was the point that Lu Mingfei could not figure out no matter what. He could accept that the entire Nibelungen was actually a tomb of the living dead, and he could acknowledge that Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini were ghosts wandering the world like everyone else, but he just couldn't figure out what exactly he was.

"I know that Fingel's girlfriend has been following you like a ghost." Lu Mingze said, "I used to wander around the world like a ghost. Kungunir and the alchemical matrix of the Final Sanctuary only put my body between life and death but could not suppress my spirit."

"You're not just like a ghost, you're a devil, okay?"

"Anyway, when I walk in this world in that state, I am different from other dragons with similar abilities. Their so-called soul is just a tool for transmitting information, an extension of the senses, but I can even use the ghost that often appears in your dreams to experience the ups and downs of the world and feel the cold wind blowing in the Himalayas. Of course, it's not impossible to find a little succubus that sneaked out of hell to talk about love with me." The little devil smiled and said, "I'm not kidding when I say I want to enter your dream, turn into a little witch, and spend the night with you. If you nod, I'll really do it."

Lu Mingfei felt a chill in his heart and waved his hands repeatedly, "That's not necessary," he said.

"What I want to say is that I am the same as you, we are both special. Your specialness is that you, brother, are the anchor of this world, and fate will always be around you no matter what; and my specialness is that life and death are just a thought of mine, and I can create conceptual power and turn everything in my dreams into reality. That is a miracle of turning stone into gold, which is beyond any existing spiritual power. It was because of this specialness that Odin was so happy when he finally captured me in a weak state that he almost went crazy. He pierced my heart with Kungunir and surrounded me in the Final Sanctuary with a huge alchemical matrix, and then built this safe haven based on this, which is claimed to be one of the refuges of the Doomsday Faction."

The little devil had no intention of continuing to joke with Lu Mingfei. He sighed softly.

"I am immortal in concept. Of course, he could choose to use a spaceship to send me to the void of the deep space, so that even I cannot return to Earth... But in this way, he cannot devour my dragon cross and gain my authority. So the real Kungunir has been piercing my heart, and Odin uses this Nibelung to reconstruct the spirits of the dead and live in the safe haven."

"Pompeii has lived in the human world for thousands of years. He knows the greed of human nature and promises eternal life to the souls he calls. The resurrected use scientific and alchemical methods to study me day and night. There is also a guy who plays those disgusting Korean dramas in front of me every day."

"All the dead are consuming my strength. I am becoming weaker and weaker. Dr. Duden, who has the most contact with you, once raised his doubts to Pompeii. If they really kill me, then this Nibelungen will collapse, and the so-called immortality is just empty talk. But that guy showed him that he got some small authority from me, just like Prometheus who stole fire. Do you understand, brother? He instantly appeared in Hamburg, Germany, tens of thousands of kilometers away, and summoned Menech Cassel, who had been dead for a hundred years, from the grave. But Menech's spirit was incomplete. Pompeii was furious, knowing that something took away Menech's spirit when Xia Zhi was mourning the release of the Word Spirit Rhine." Lu Mingze laughed almost sarcastically,
"The committee finally realized that Pompeii was their only hope. If they refused to submit, that guy could simply revoke the power of resurrection that emanated from my body into this Nibelung."

"So Dad and Mom..." Lu Mingfei's voice was hesitant.

The little devil said: "They are also dead souls, but they are no different from ordinary people in the safe haven. They have joys and sorrows, and even have no problem getting married and having children."

"What about me?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Am I also just... a ghost born in a dream?"

"Of course you are different." The little devil shook his head. "I woke up earlier than you, just like Norton to Constantine. The difference is that Constantine's bone bottle was left in the Bronze City, while I carried you along the Volga River for thousands of kilometers. When we were captured, the Iron Curtain fell from the sky and stretched between East Germany and West Germany, dividing the country on the Rhine River into two with Berlin as the boundary. At that time, I had not recovered my strength, and even my bloodline had not awakened. I was just an ordinary child. In order to protect you, my brother, I swallowed your dragon bone cross but retained those powers. I used my body alone to house the spirits of two people in the nerves all over my body."

"So when I hear Herzog's clappers, I fall into those strange hallucinations, a burning corridor, someone calling me Zero, and in the illusion there was Zero as a child, who was called Renata at that time." Lu Mingfei said softly, "These are all things I see through your eyes, right?"

"Originally, your mind was in a dormant state, and everything you said should not appear in my memory. However, Dr. Herzog performed a pontine splitting surgery on me at Black Swan Port."

The little devil smiled and pointed at his head. "This surgery removed a tissue in my brain called the corpus callosum. The function of this tissue in the human body is to connect the left and right brains. After it was removed, the two sides of my brain became independent. Your spirit resides on one side and I reside on the other side."

Lu Mingfei imagined that he had once been in the form of a ghost, floating above the bronze statue of the great man in Black Swan Harbor all day long, staring blankly at the frozen sea all year round, his eyes empty and lifeless, not knowing what peace and happiness were nor understanding birth, aging, sickness and death.

"I don't understand. With your ability, you should be able to heal yourself easily, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.

The little devil looked at him and rubbed the man's palm with his cheek affectionately. "Repairing the brain is just a matter of words for me, but if you do this, brother, you will fall into a deep sleep again. I am willing to share my body with you, even in this way." He said,
"For thousands of years, we, the abandoned people, have been forced to trek across the endless wasteland. We have been lonely for so long that we hope to find someone to rely on to accompany us. At that time, we had a very large throne. It was so cold that people shivered on the throne. We cuddled together to keep warm. You told me, brother, I really want to escape, even if I have to give up everything I have. I said, brother, go ahead, and let me take on everything."

The faint feeling of sadness suddenly became stronger. Xia Mi once told him that the world of dragons was a thousand years of loneliness and a thousand years of nightmares, which repeated over and over again without end. It turned out that they had been so lonely and so desperate. Even breathing felt like the air was full of sharp blades, cutting people so hard that they couldn't help but burst into tears.

The moonlight outside the window flowed like water on the marble floor of the Chicago train station. From the reflection, Lu Mingfei could see the little devil curled up beside him, a small ball, like a baby.

What the child just told him should be the truth that Lu Mingfei has been pursuing, who he is and whose name should be engraved on his tombstone after his death.

But he still didn't understand.

I can't figure it out no matter what.

"Please listen to me, brother?" the little devil said softly. The color on his body was being washed away by the sound of the wind outside the window. The bright, rosy color was like melted ink flowing along the wound under the suit to the ground, leaving only grayish-white skin.

"At that time, Dad and Mom were just novices who had just graduated from Kassel Academy. They were allowed to join the hunt only because of their excellent bloodlines." The little devil said.
"They were all insignificant souls among the huge number of dead souls resurrected by Pompeii. But by chance, Joveni found the final sanctuary along that passage, which Pompeii had not yet decided to hand over to Haven for research, and also found me."

Lu Mingfei slowly opened his eyes, as if he had seen the truth of the matter.

"From ancient times to the present, the devil is good at playing with people's hearts, disguising themselves as pitiful and helpless to lure innocent people into hell." The little devil grinned.

"I used some clever tricks to deceive Qiao Weini and made her believe that the entire safe haven was a conspiracy of Odin. I told her that I could save the unborn baby in her belly, or send her and Lu Lincheng out of the safe haven and return to the world of ordinary people to live ordinary lives... As you can see, you can live with them before 2003." Lu Mingfei shook his head and smiled bitterly. At this point, he had already guessed what the little devil was going to say next.

"I transferred your spirit into the fetus in Qiao Wei Ni's belly... Even I couldn't revive the embryo, which was only three months pregnant at the time, in the safe haven. His spirit hadn't even been born yet. Qiao Wei Ni was very smart. She guessed it later, but as you can see... Brother, sometimes I really think that maternal love is so terrible. It can even overwhelm Odin's spiritual suggestion to everyone in Nibelung and choose to help you. While you were lying quietly in the operating room, the woman was counting the weapons in the warehouse and preparing to release all the dragon blood dogs to drive the snow tank to take you out of the siege."

At this time, Lu Mingfei was crying silently.

"You are an entity conceived by pure spirit. When you were born, your father and mother had already returned to Kassel College. It was through this opportunity that I met Ange... At that time, he was still an angry young man. His first reaction when he saw me was to sprinkle holy water on me." The little devil shrugged.

"I have to say that the principal is actually a devout Christian, but later he decided to cooperate with me, so he had already distrusted Pompey twenty years ago."

"At that time, I gave Qiao Weini and Lu Lincheng everything I could, and the only requirement was that they had to ensure your safety... This is also one of the reasons why they returned to China. In our hometown, there is a super hybrid like Chu Tianjiao, who also has the blood of Lao Hei. Odin will not go over him to cause trouble for you. In addition, if you stay in the country, there will be an incredibly strong woman who will keep an eye on you. I guess Odin at that time couldn't beat her."

"An incredibly strong woman? Who is she?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"You know her, Lord Wa." The little devil made a funny expression on his tired face, "She was your ex-girlfriend, you don't remember, when you were a little kid she came to your house and flicked your butt and said you deserved it for being a scumbag."

Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched.

No wonder that sister gave him the feeling that she had no sense of boundaries at all. It turned out that she was waiting here...

But now is not the time to talk about this. Lu Mingfei's heart moved slightly, "I..."

“You are certainly not the Black King Nidhogg, nor are you one of the Four Lords.” The little devil shook his head, as if he had guessed what Lu Ming was going to say.

"Are the four monarchs just random people?" Lu Mingfei curled his lips.

He knew there was no need to ask, the little devils would soon tell him what they were.

"We are all very strange things... Do you remember what I said to you at Six Flags in Chicago? I said that the four monarchs, including Junior Sister, are actually a combination of locks and keys. As long as they are alive or still hold those powers, you have no choice but to kill them. Only in this way can you get complete liberation and a complete return."

“I have a vague impression, but you didn’t describe it in such detail at the time…” Lu Mingfei touched his brow.

The little devil looked up into his eyes.

"Have you ever wondered what the dragon clan was like before the birth of the Black King?" he asked suddenly.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment.

"It should be something like a big lizard, right?" he said.

"The Black King Nidhogg is the highest, most virtuous, and most supreme terminator. He writes the poem of fate on the bronze throne." The little devil recited softly.

"The Ice Sea Scrolls say that the Black King will return and Ragnarok will come, because he is the child of the world. When this planet lacks him, the next Black King will be born. That is why the Black King's rule has lasted from ancient times until a thousand years ago."

"There were no dragons before the Black King. The elders were born in the thick soup when he was born, and the first generation was forged from his flesh and blood." Lu Mingze seemed to be recalling an ancient era. "But before Nidhogg, this world had actually had many failed experiments. Countless similar things have appeared over billions of years, but they all collapsed in the end, leaving only a spirit left in the cracks of the world... There is only one item that can communicate with them and establish a connection with them, and that thing is the Dragon-Severing Platform in the hands of the Wa Lord. The living spirit named Jiuying is just a gatekeeper to meet the gods."

Lu Mingfei looked horrified.

Lord Wa said what was inside there, a starry sky made up of golden eyes, unchanging since time immemorial, forever watching the world turn.

"We are the last pair of similar creatures before Nidhogg, and we are dragons of the same era as the Black King. He observed us, learned from us, and finally decided to create those twins." The little devil said softly.
"We are not dead. The authority of the world appeared in you, me, and Nidhogg at the same time, just like two operators appeared in the same system at the same time. We failed in a war, our bodies were deprived and our spirits were suppressed. The four monarchs were born at that time. The meaning of their existence is to lock our power and authority as a door lock!"

The little devil suddenly became ferocious. He pushed Lu Mingfei's shoulder hard, and the man staggered forward.

"Now I will give you back your power and authority, brother! Tell them in the Ragnarok! Whose twilight is it!" (End of this chapter)
