From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 363 The Power and Authority of the King of Bronze and Fire!

Is this the 'S' grade hybrid recognized by the principal?!
Those who had been transferred from the soon-to-capsize Moniach to the lifeboats stared in shock at the black-haired boy standing in the surging waves, holding a cleaver.

For a fleeting moment, they all had a misconception.

The one standing there was not human, but a supreme being bathed in the blood of a king, announcing its return to the world.

Lu Mingfei, dragging his saber, actually stepped on the water and walked step by step toward the lifeboat.

Although he had lost his hearing, Caesar could still sense the oppressive aura emanating from Lu Mingfei, a mixture of malevolence and killing intent, as heavy and dark as an abyss, approaching.

"Lu Lumingfei? You, are you really Lu Mingfei?" Nuonuo stared intently at the black-haired boy, but still couldn't control the trembling in her heart.

The overwhelming aura of bloodlust and killing intent surged forth like a raging storm, assaulting the hearts of everyone present.

The black-haired boy standing on the water is a tyrannical emperor who has been bathed in the blood of countless lives, walked on a path forged from white bones, and stood on his throne!
An invisible pressure descended, and everyone waited anxiously for the black-haired boy's response.

Caesar instinctively reached for the Desert Eagle at his waist. Under the almost tangible killing intent, he couldn't tell whether the boy in front of him could still be considered human.

However, the next second, the black-haired boy, who looked like a tyrannical emperor, suddenly lost his composure and scratched his head, complaining, "Hey, hey, hey, is this how you in Kassel welcome the hero who has worked so hard to defeat the Demon King and return?"

The heavy atmosphere was broken in an instant.

Caesar, who was reading the meaning from the lips, twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, feeling somewhat unable to keep up with this guy's leaping train of thought.

"Welcome back, brave warrior, Lu Mingfei." Nono's expression relaxed slightly, and she revealed a bright smile, extending her hand to Lu Mingfei: "From now on, we are classmates."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at Nuonuo's fair hand that she was extending to him.

If it were me in the normal timeline, I might have felt overjoyed, even ecstatic, finally gaining the approval of my senior, Nuonuo.

But now, none of that matters to him anymore. Nono will only ever be Caesar's girlfriend, and there will be no more contact between him and Nono. Let the 'loser's' unrequited love end on this river mixed with dragon blood.

"No need for a handshake." Lu Mingfei tossed the saber over, then left without looking back, saying, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take my leave now."

"I didn't expect my junior to be so aloof."

Nono chuckled lightly, not feeling embarrassed at all, and withdrew her hand that was hanging in mid-air.

Only after Lu Mingfei's figure disappeared into the distance did everyone finally come to their senses. Looking at the surging river, Manstein felt as if the breath he had been holding in his chest could finally be released.

Xia Mi, however, stared blankly at the river, her eyes seemingly filled with some kind of sorrow.

"Mission accomplished. Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, has been confirmed dead at the Three Gorges Reservoir at 1:13 AM. Team members: Caesar, Chen Motong, Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, Manstein, and Lu Mingfei. All survived." Manstein made the transoceanic call.

Then, Manstein slowly put down his phone, stared at the turbulent river surface and the remains of the Dragon King slowly sinking to the bottom of the river, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Did I fail?

His body was severed and his life force extinguished by the black-haired youth's 'rage'.

Norton, who had plunged to the bottom of the river, was shrouded in darkness.

The color in the golden eyes gradually faded, turning into a dull and lifeless leaden color.

'Wrath' severed His body from Samson's fusion, shattered the tough dragon bones with a single strike, and then drove directly into the heart. The alchemical matrix activated on the blade perfectly killed the dragon's regenerative properties, destroying His possibility of resurrection at the cellular level.

For high-ranking dragons, as long as they prepare an 'egg' before death and complete the 'cocooning' of their soul, they can be reborn countless times.

But this time, He did not prepare the 'egg' in advance, let alone the soul cocooning and rebirth.

Rather, this was a result of Norton's deliberate actions. From the moment Constantine was killed, his only goal in life was revenge.

His long life finally came to an end, just as he had said, as if he had been sealed in a black box, where only eternal darkness awaited him, and he could not touch anything when he reached out.

"So this is what despair feels like."

Norton plunged into the cold, bronze city. He saw the crumbling city and a thought inexplicably popped into his mind: "Angelwey, is this the despair you wanted?"

“Then, let’s make a deal.” A light, airy voice echoed in Norton’s mind.

"As agreed, I will appear before you when you are in despair and call upon the name of Angelweid."

What should have been a pitch-black, icy riverbed turned into a completely different scene for Norton. In an instant, time and space shifted, and he found himself in a magnificent and imposing church of bones.

Behind the weathered, ancient bronze table, beneath a cross made of pure white bones, a figure of light, seemingly composed of countless images, sat on a massive bronze throne. Its pale golden vertical pupils scrutinized Norton as he entered the church, and it said softly, "Welcome to my divine kingdom."

"Are you Angelweid?"

After a brief moment of distraction, Norton calmly watched the light and shadow.

"Yes and no."

Uchiha Muneki's answer was ambiguous, neither confirming nor denying.

Norton fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "What is it that you want, Angelweid?"

"I will give you hope when you are in despair." Uchiha Munezuki chuckled lightly, tapping his index finger rhythmically on the bronze table, and said calmly, "Give up the glory of the Dragon Clan in exchange for a completely new life. This is the content of our deal, Your Highness Norton."

"Abandon the glory of the dragon race!"

Upon hearing this, Norton suddenly chuckled, as if mocking himself, and said, "The dragon race has long lost its glory, ever since the moment it was driven from its throne by humans ten thousand years ago."

"Can I take that as you agreeing?"

Uchiha Muneki smiled.

"I reject."

Norton shook his head, his eyes empty and blank: "Even if I were to have a completely new life, what difference would it make? It's better to die cleanly than to live a lonely and miserable life."

“Then, what if I told you…” Uchiha Muneki paused slightly, then said meaningfully, “that it’s a completely new life for you and your brother, Your Highness Norton?”

Norton's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't even control his emotions as he stared in shock at the figure on the throne: "You...you mean, you can resurrect Constantine?"

If a dragon king is killed inside an egg, it means it is completely dead, and there is no possibility of its soul cocooning.

But He was still willing to believe, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.

"So, are you willing?"

Uchiha Muneki stopped striking, leaning forward slightly, his pale golden vertical pupils reflecting Norton's figure.

"If I could exchange the glory of the Dragon King for a completely new life..."

Norton let out a sigh of relief and said, "If I'm with Constantine, then..."

Over the long years, He had long forgotten the glory of the dragon race and no longer thought about pursuing the past. But there was one thing He could never give up: Constantine, the younger brother who was always timid but accompanied Him through the lonely years.

"I am willing!"

Norton's voice was firm, without the slightest hesitation.

Uchiha Muneki smiled slightly and nodded: "Then, the deal is done."

For a Sequence 3 Dreamweaver, while it's impossible to truly bring a dead creature back to life, finding another way is certainly an option.

However, the Dream Weaver can separate some of the identities he once had and turn them into living people. Moreover, even if these identities die, it will not cause the original body to perish. This ability is a prerequisite for the Dreamer. In other words, it is just a piece of cake for him to let Norton and Constantine live a new life under different identities.

By extracting Norton and Constantine's personalities and memories and then stuffing them into a fabricated real form, one can achieve a different form of 'rebirth'.

Of course, Uchiha Muneki did not tell Norton about the price that would have to be paid.

That is the 'power' and 'strength' of the King of Bronze and Fire!
