Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 543: The Spear of Destiny and the Death of Odin

"So, why did you stop me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

The water angel paused for a moment and said to Lu Mingfei: "Although the Lord is dead, His spirit still exists. Your spirit is strong enough, so it may not be dangerous if you come into contact with it rashly, but it will take a lot of time to get out of it."

“For example…” She looked at Lu Mingfei and said faintly, “You woke up a month after entering this world.”

Lu Mingfei paused and said softly, "I see. Is this some kind of defense device left by God?"

Lucrecia was worried because she couldn't understand why he came a month later than them when he had entered the gate earlier. Lu Mingfei actually had a guess that it seemed to be some kind of defense organization that was preventing them from entering.

The gods of this world may have long been aware that there are beings like themselves in another world, and there are also dragon civilizations that can compete with the angel civilization they created, and they have made preparations for this.

But for some reason, the defense device he left behind did not play its due role in the ancient war. Perhaps, as the water angel said, the "destruction" was not over, and he had tampered with his arrangement.

The reason why this defense device did not work on Chu Yuwei, Lucrecia and others was that at their level of evolution, they were not considered dangerous by the world.

But Lu Mingfei himself, Constance and Ruoton are different. When they gather together, the power they possess is enough to destroy a world without its guardian.

"So, Constance and Ruoton are not like me because of your existence, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at the water angel and seemed to understand something.

Constance, who should have been regarded as a threat like him, did not enter a one-month "dormant period" like him, but arrived at Yunmeng Lake early.

"Yes." The water angel nodded. "Because of my existence, they didn't sleep for a month. But..."

She looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "I want to correct you. It is not an interception device, at least not for you. The reason you have been sleeping for a month is mainly because you need to adapt."

"Adapt?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused. "Adapt to what?"

"Get used to it." The water angel looked at Lu Mingfei, or rather at the spear he had been holding in his hand, "Please, grant the Lord eternal peace that will not be disturbed by anyone."

Lu Mingfei raised the spear in his hand and asked in surprise, "Did you give this to me?"

Xingjian said that this was left to him by a being from another world. He originally thought it was one of Constance and Roden, but until just now he discovered that there was a third consciousness sleeping in their bodies.

The water angel nodded and said softly, "Yes, this spear was prepared by the Lord for the Son who is about to suffer. But now everything is in chaos. The Son who was supposed to return to the sky has lost his glory, and this spear has also lost its proper function."

In the scriptures of the Messianic Church, after being betrayed by his own apostles, the Savior Messiah was tied to a cross, stabbed with spears by the guards, and then died.

But the Messiah is the Son of God walking on earth, and he is also one of the gods. Human weapons cannot kill him. So the only thing that can kill him is something made by God.

Legend has it that after this gun was stained with the holy blood of the Messiah, it became a holy gun that controls destiny. The person holding this gun will become the one who controls the fate of the world. But if the owner loses it, he will die immediately.

Later, one of the most powerful weapons created by the Messiah Holy Church, the Holy Spear Equipment Longinus, was based on that gun.

They have always claimed that the Spear of Destiny is in their own hands in order to prove their absolute dominance over religion.

But in fact, this spear has long been lost in history. No one knows whether those monarchs who claim to hold the Spear of Destiny actually possessed this spear. Because at a certain time, there were three spears claiming to be the Spear of Destiny.

"The spear of destiny..." Lu Mingfei rubbed the plain spear with his fingers. Just by looking at its appearance, no one would know that this was a spear that could kill gods.

He suddenly asked, "Can God create a spear that can kill Him?"

Whether God in another world could create a stone that he could not lift has always been a widely discussed question.

If God could create the stone but could not lift it, then His omnipotence would be questionable. If He could not create the stone, then His omnipotence would be denied from the beginning.

"Now that the Lord is dead, it is meaningless to discuss this issue." The Water Angel shook his head and continued to look at the Spear of Destiny in Lu Mingfei's hand. "This spear naturally could not kill the Lord when He was still alive, but now, it can allow Him to gain eternal peace."

She looked at the body of God again, her eyes filled with sorrow: "The Lord is too powerful, but this power also makes Him suffer after death. 'Destruction' is watching Him closely, and when He shows signs of waking up, it will descend upon this world again."

She explained to Lu Mingfei: "The Lord's body is dead, but His spirit still wants to wake up. So those spirits attached themselves to the corpse of the king who hid Him, trying to wake her up... Unfortunately, His awakening will only accelerate the arrival of 'destruction'."

It is undoubtedly a very sad thing that a great being who once dedicated himself to the continuation of the world would once again bring destruction to the world when he woke up again.

According to the narration of the Water Angel, "destruction" has never ended. The disappearance of the two civilizations of dragons and angels is another attempt by the Water Angel. No one knows what form the Water Angel will take when it comes again.

This reminded Lu Mingfei of the "dusk" mentioned by Odin. He seemed to have always been afraid of the coming of dusk, and believed that only by becoming "the only one" could he survive when dusk came.

There doesn't seem to be any connection between the two.

Lu Mingfei finally understood why the dragon bones of the king of the sea and water were not found here. Just as her Nibelungen was merging with the fragments of heaven, her body was possessed by the spirit of the dead god.

After the death of the god, nothing was left behind, and the so-called "corpse" of the god was the dragon bone of the king of the sea and water, which was attached to his remaining spirit. This also explains why she, whose power and strength had been completely devoured by Odin, still had the power to create such a huge Nibelung and communicate with the witches... The witches were also one of the creations of the god, and the spirit left by the god was attached to the dragon bone of the king of the sea and water, so they regarded him as one of the incarnations of the god.

In a way, the Queen of Ocean and Water is closer to "the One" than Odin. But she must have discovered the existence of "destruction" and built such a complicated cemetery to bury herself.

However, she also underestimated the power of the spirit left by God. She died, her consciousness dissipated, but the dragon bones left behind could not completely die.

The spirit of God will be resurrected in her body, but at that time, God with only spirit will not be able to deal with "destruction". In the water angel's speculation, the next destruction will be even more massive than the previous two.

If the last destruction caused the disappearance of the two civilizations of dragons and angels, then the next time, the human civilization that rises after the disappearance of the two civilizations, and even all things in the world, will be the target of destruction.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time. Even the gods were powerless to deal with the destruction. It was no wonder that even a being like Izanami wanted to escape.

"What should I do?" he asked.

"Use this gun to stab the Lord and let His spirit rest in peace." The water angel said softly, "This can only be done by you. Except for you who are chosen by God, no one else can use that gun."

"I guess you have discovered it?" She continued, "The existence you call Zero is given to the Son by the Lord. As his other half, they will rise to the sky together. In other words, those who are not recognized by the Lord cannot control Zero."

Lu Mingfei fell silent. Just as his Dragon Heart would not go to Xizel for no reason, the Zero that was supposed to be inherited by Xizel would not go to him for no reason either.

"The more I think about it, the more headache I get." He sighed deeply, and then suddenly asked, "What about you? As long as God doesn't wake up, it doesn't matter if His spirit continues to exist. At least for you, this choice will be better, right?"

He silently looked into the eyes of the water angel with a calm expression: "Why must His spirit also rest in peace?"

"…Because God doesn't want to come back to life." The water angel answered silently, "This is the last message He conveyed to me. An existence that has died in the past should not become an obstacle for those who create the future."

“Create the future, me?” Lu Mingfei chewed on this sentence carefully, and suddenly felt a little heavy, “I am really flattered…”

As he spoke, he raised the Spear of Destiny and stabbed it at the corpse of the King of Ocean and Water, the carrier of the spirit left by God, in front of him.

He suddenly paused, and felt something happened in his spiritual world. Someone escaped from it...

The city where the Nibelung and the fragments of heaven merged roared, as if cheering for someone's resurrection. The beautiful corpse in front of him opened his eyes, and he came back to life!
"I've waited for so long, finally..." He said softly, tears falling from his eyes that were as bright as the sun, "I'm finally the only one!"

Odin... no, it should be said that the newly born Lord of the Sky was cheering for his own rebirth and feeling the great power in his body. The failure of being captured by Izanami was indeed beyond his expectations, but it also brought him new possibilities.

Lu Mingfei will come into contact with those ancient beings sooner or later, and that will be his chance to make one last stand.

To be honest, the success of this jailbreak was beyond Odin's expectation. He was not sure that he could escape from Izanami, the ancient being who controlled the spiritual elements. But the strange thing was that she, who was both the prisoner and his caretaker, did not stop his jailbreak.

At the moment of escaping, he felt that he understood the other party's purpose. Izanami also wanted to escape from the mental prison. Giving him a chance to escape was also giving himself a chance. When he became the only one, he might be able to free her.

Odin, who was about to control his own fate and even the fate of the world, smiled. He didn't mind saving this ancient soul, but before that, he had more important things to do.

"Are you surprised?" he asked Lu Mingfei.

Odin tried to find even a trace of panic on the face of the boy who had defeated him twice. Because of his negligence, he had created a terrible enemy, so even he would be furious, right?
...But unfortunately, he did not see any surprise on the boy's face. He and Ruo Dun were looking at him with blank expression, almost as if they were looking at a dead person.

Odin frowned: "I don't like the look in your eyes, but as the most powerful enemy I have ever faced, I will defeat you in a fair fight."

"Then..." His expression suddenly turned ferocious, "I will drink your blood! Taste your flesh! Let you experience the pain of dusk!"

"Are you done?" Lu Mingfei's indifferent tone made Odin's ferocious expression turn into confusion again.

Lu Mingfei looked at the prisoner who was so self-conscious about his successful escape and who was going crazy because of imagining that he was the only prisoner, and said calmly: "Do you know why you were able to escape?"

Odin was surprised by the calmness on the boy's face, and subconsciously asked: "...Why?"

"Because I changed my mind." Lu Mingfei said, "I originally planned to hand you over to Lucrecia and the others. After all, they would probably be happy to put an end to you, a clown who likes to play with other people's fate."

"You said I was a clown!" Odin was angry. He was the king who controlled storms and tricks, the only lord of the sky, and the one who controlled the fate of the world... How could he be a clown?
Lu Mingfei looked at him silently: "If you are not a clown, how could you fall into such an obvious trap?"

Trap? Odin was suddenly stunned. After the impulse of becoming the Lord of the Sky passed, the King of Trickery regained his sanity and realized that his escape plan was too smooth, so smooth that it seemed as if everyone wanted him to do so.

"So I changed my mind. You should really die at her hands." A faint golden light flashed in Lu Mingfei's hand, and the spear of destiny in his hand was pulled out from the dragon bone of the King of Ocean and Water.

"Stop... Stop!" Odin shouted in horror. He finally discovered the problem - he was trapped by this corpse!

There was no divine spirit waiting for him to inherit. The legacy of that great existence had already dissipated when Lu Mingfei's spear touched it. In this empty dragon bone, there was only the laughter of another long-dead dragon king after his revenge.
