Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Due to the change in numbers, the tactics of combat also changed, from frontal assault to guerrilla warfare. In any case, with the Word of Power: Bloodline Knot, no hybrid will be missed.

The sudden change in the battle situation caused some twists and turns, with the dragons briefly gaining the upper hand before quickly returning to a stalemate...

On the other hand, Angers, who arrived by special plane, was attacked by dragons and is now in a stalemate...

After all, Angers' private plane flew very fast, and the dragons had no way to catch up.

"This is infuriating!"

Inside the cabin, Angers gripped a folding knife, his heart filled with rage.

The plane was unable to land due to being entangled by several dragons.

Chapter 342 Nidhogg's Swift Departure

In the Nibelungen, Odin gazed into the distance, his single eye gleaming with golden light. Suddenly, he pulled on the reins, and his horse galloped away... A few seconds later, Odin vanished into the thick darkness.

At the same time, changes occurred in Nibelungen, an island nation, and the Night Eater slowly descended.

In an ordinary izakaya, Xia Mi, who was watching a movie, suddenly looked up. Old Tang, holding a bone urn, was speechless. Xia Er's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to watch the movie intently...

"Sir, should we do something about this?" Samson asked.

"What's going on?" With a "thump," Chu Tianjiao, who was minding the shop downstairs, pushed open the door and rushed in to ask.

"...It's nothing major, just the arrival of the Nibelungs."

Xia Mi's tone was casual, as calm as eating or drinking, but her expression was somewhat subtle.

She was somewhat aware of Fang Rui and Lu Mingze's plan, though she knew relatively little about it.

Now that the plan has undoubtedly been shattered, she should think about what to do if the plan gets out of control.

In short, let's contact Fang Rui and Lu Mingze first!

But the key issue is... she didn't have the contact information for either of them.

The group looked at each other for a while, discussed it, and decided to wait there, since the things in the Nibelungen wouldn't cause them any trouble.

When signs of the Nibelungen's descent appeared, the Serpent Clan panicked and urgently convened a meeting to discuss the matter. All the hybrids under their control were dispatched to prepare for the impact of the Nibelungen's descent.

Meanwhile, inside the Bronze City...

Fang Rui stopped alchemy, led Chu Zihang and the others to the outskirts of Bronze City, left the three in an ordinary town, and then headed alone to the area where Odin was located.

Odin didn't lead his army to get involved; he just took the opportunity to capture some hybrids to increase the number of his "collections."

While he was working hard, Fang Rui had already quietly arrived nearby, the blade of "Greed" flashing with a sharp, cold light, and fell toward Odin's right shoulder.

He turned around and raised his hand.

Boom————

Gungnir clashed with "Greed," and a dull thud echoed through the air.

Odin's gaze remained unwavering as he calmly observed Fang Rui. He had already anticipated Fang Rui's arrival before he came out, and he showed no surprise upon seeing Fang Rui.

His golden eyes suddenly became even brighter, and the sound of his blood surging within him grew louder, like the sound of a car engine.

Odin's aura was inflating like a balloon, increasing at a visible rate, and in Fang Rui's perception, the threat he posed was also rapidly escalating...

'Techniques to increase strength? Bloodlust?'

Fang Rui squinted; there were some techniques that could help hybrids improve their strength...

However, the abilities that can be used during battle are relatively few. One is the authority held by Lu Mingze, which can modify the bloodline of hybrids, and the other is the Path to Godhood and the techniques derived from it...

Regardless of which one Odin uses, it means that this Odin is fake.

"It's quite troublesome to see you."

Fang Rui's figure blurred for a moment, and the next second Odin suddenly cracked and became fragmented.

Picking up the replica of Gungnir, Fang Rui used the connection between the two Gungnirs to pinpoint Odin's location.

Incidentally, I also located Lu Mingze's position. Considering that I would need his help later, I went to great lengths to rescue him. It was definitely not for the real Gungnir.

"emmm..."

Fang Rui remained silent as he examined Gungnir. According to his inspection, Gungnir contained no signs of life; the stench of decay was overwhelming. It was completely withered and had no chance of sprouting again…

Store Gungnir in your storage ring, then travel to Nibelungen in Odin's lands to defeat him. With Lu Mingze's help, awaken Nidhogg.

Looking at Nidhogg, who was quickly waking up, Lu Mingze said with emotion, "I had been preparing for this plan for several years, and I was prepared to spend several more years to realize it, but I never expected that... with you, one day would be enough."

"Why does your tone sound strange?" Fang Rui's tone was very calm. The awakened Nidhogg did not put any pressure on him. After complaining about Lu Mingze's tone, he continued, "There's no need to care. Your teammates are dragging you down. It's already impressive that you've managed to stay in the league for several years."

"You're not allowed to talk about my brother like that..." Lu Mingze retorted, "He's already tried his best~"

"Hey~ be normal!"

During their casual conversation, Nidhogg developed at a speed unmatched by other dragons, and a huge black dragon appeared before Fang Rui and Lu Mingze.

At the same time, the Word of Power: Emperor resounded throughout the world, awakening all slumbering dragons, opening all Nibelungen, causing dragons to dance in the air, and undead servants to surge forth from the Nibelungen...

As elemental turbulence appeared, all sorts of natural disasters followed: howling winds, torrential rains, and frequent earthquakes...

"The commotion they caused upon their entrance was quite something, very much in line with the style of the final boss!"

Fang Rui muttered a complaint, and Lu Mingze, who also knew the game well, agreed: "The BOSS has appeared. Warriors who want to challenge the BOSS, are you ready?"

"Of course...it's ready!"

Nidhogg's rank is indeed quite high, but in Fang Rui's view, his ability in direct combat is very weak; he's the kind of person who could be dealt with with a little effort...

After all, Nidhogg's advantage lies in its soul, and the resilience of a soul is unbelievable, making it difficult to completely destroy.

Unfortunately, Fang Rui possessed many soul-related skills and was very adept at dealing with this type of enemy. After struggling for a while, he pulled out Nidhogg's soul, stuffed it into a specially made metal pot, and temporarily sealed it...

"Finish and call it a day!"

Fang Rui exhaled a breath of stale air, looking at the black dragon, which was almost the size of a mountain, and pondered how to deal with it.

His plan was definitely to make props; the design for the "Black Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets" had been completed a long time ago, and it wouldn't be right not to make them out soon.

You should reap what you sow.

Looking at Nidhogg's dragon body, Lu Mingze's expression was hard to describe. After all, it was the ultimate BOSS, the Dragon King known as "Despair".

How could it be resolved so easily?

There wasn't even a fight; it was over in a tug-of-war game.

Compared to the last time, Nidhogg suffered a complete and utter defeat this time, a one-sided affair.

"That's really impressive~" Lu Mingze muttered to himself. Although he knew that Fang Rui was very powerful and had a high chance of defeating Nidhogg, he never thought that Fang Rui could defeat Nidhogg so easily and capture him alive.

Killing and capturing alive are two completely different things, differing by more than one level.

'Could it be... that beings capable of traversing worlds all possess such exaggerated power?'

Lu Mingze remained silent, pondering ways to increase his strength, excluding methods other than merging with his brother... The simplest way for dragons to enhance their strength was to devour other dragons.

However, the higher the purity of a dragon's bloodline, the more difficult it is for it to improve its strength. After all, there are very few dragons with similar bloodline levels, and they are not easy to defeat.

On the other hand, if the difference in bloodline level is too great, the effect of devouring is minimal, making it difficult to improve. It's like adding a drop of water to a bucket of water, resulting in very little improvement.

As for other ways to improve his strength, Lu Mingze had no clue for the time being, but he was certain that Fang Rui must have the corresponding methods. How to trade them from him was what he should be considering.

While Lu Mingze was deep in thought, Fang Rui was not idle; he was creating a vessel to carry Nidhogg's soul.

At the same time, the fall of Nidhogg, the Black King, did not dampen the dragons' revelry. After all, Nidhogg's current situation was rather delicate, caught between life and death, his soul and body separated...

Therefore, no dragons have yet discovered Nidhogg's problem. After all, how could ordinary dragons dare to spy on the Dragon King's situation? The dragons that did dare to spy on the Dragon King, upon learning of his situation, were extremely excited, declaring that this year it was their turn to become the Dragon King...

One after another, they bared their ferocious fangs, intensifying their fight and vying for the sole throne.

The chaotic scene outside can be set aside for now; there's no need to pay attention to it, as it has nothing to do with Fang Rui. Lu Mingze, who is worried about Lu Mingfei's safety, will handle it.

After the "Black Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets" were completed, Lu Mingze had finished dealing with everything, and Fang Rui left Nibelungen and returned to the real world.

The world is still in a war between dragons and humans, with both sides locked in a stalemate and no clear victor yet...

"There don't seem to be many high-level combatants among the dragons..."

After wandering around for a while and gaining an understanding of the current situation, Fang Rui had no intention of helping and instead headed to the temporary base.

Inside an ordinary izakaya, Natsumi and her friends were leisurely playing games.

"Yo~" When he saw Fang Rui come in, Old Tang looked up and greeted him.

Fang Rui looked around the room and found that there were more people than he had expected. Not only were Norton, Constantine, Xia Mi, and Xia Er there, but also Chu Zihang's family, Lu Mingfei and his uncle's family, and Lu Mingze and his subordinates were also present...

In addition, Erii Uesugi was also present.

'emmm……'

'What's going on? Why are there so many people? How did Erii get here? Is she connected to these people?'

No, right?

Fang Rui's tone was uncertain. Thinking about it carefully, Erii liked playing games, and Lu Mingfei and the others also liked playing games. It was not impossible that they would happen to meet during a game.

"You guys seem to be having a pretty leisurely time."

Looking at the leisurely Lu Mingze and the others, Fang Rui's tone was a bit strange. The war between humans and dragons is so fierce, and you guys are hiding in the house playing games.

Isn't that going too far and showing a lack of respect for the other players who are fighting hard?

"It's quite leisurely," Old Tang explained. "Having chosen to withdraw from the competition, there's nothing to do, so naturally it's quite leisurely. Although some guys occasionally come to cause trouble, but..."

As he spoke, he looked around. There were more than five Dragon Kings and two Super Hybrids...

A regular lineup would have no chance of defeating Lu Mingze and his group, even with a few liability players.

Without pressing the matter further, Fang Rui turned his gaze to Uesugi Erii and asked, "What's the story with her? Where did you find her?"

When Fang Rui asked the question, he was looking at Lu Mingze, because in his mind, Uesugi Erii was also a pawn in Lu Mingze's plan.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't bring you here." Lu Mingze's reply was quite self-righteous.

Xia Mi explained, "She happened to come here, or more precisely, she got lost while cleaning up the Dead Servants..."

"Lost..." After a few seconds of silence, Fang Rui stopped paying attention to the matter and changed the subject, "I'm about to leave, do you want to come with me?"

"We'll be departing in about a day. Think it over carefully."
