He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

While watching TV in the hotel, Xia Mi suddenly had a whimsical idea: she wanted to visit Chu Zihang's mother at his home.

Chu Zihang wanted to refuse, so he tried to reason with his girlfriend and appeal to her emotions, but Xia Mi, who was throwing a tantrum, wouldn't listen! Helpless, Chu Zihang could only take Xia Mi back to his home.

And so... that scene just now unfolded!

"Xiao Mi, Zi Hang, thank you so much for taking care of him! Stay for dinner, I'll cook for you today!" Su Xiaoyan looked at her daughter-in-law with satisfaction and made a suggestion that Chu Zi Hang found extremely "terrifying".

"Okay, thank you, Auntie! I'd really like to try your cooking!" Xia Mi said with a smile.

Unlike Xia Mi's smile, Chu Zihang, sitting on the other side, was covered in cold sweat. For a moment, Chu Zihang felt as if death was beckoning to him!

Xia Mi may not know about Su Xiaoyan's cooking skills, but does Chu Zihang not know them?

The thought of that solidified mosaic floating in the pot sent chills down Chu Zihang's spine.

He estimated that even if Xia Mi was the king of the earth and mountains, she would most likely not be able to withstand the deadly poison of the "cooking" made by Su Xiaoyan.

In order to prevent his young lover from losing their lives today, Chu Zihang decisively stood up and grabbed Xia Mi's small hand.

"Mom, Xia Mi and I have a date today! So don't bother, we'll watch a movie and then go to a restaurant for dinner!"

Su Xiaoyan was slightly taken aback when she saw her son suddenly become enlightened, and then she showed a kind aunt's smile.

"You should have said so earlier!"

Before Chu Zihang could react, Su Xiaoyan hurriedly pushed the young couple out the door.

"Since you two have a date, go ahead! Enjoy your time together and have some fun! Zihang, you have to protect Xiaomi!"

Looking at the tightly closed door, Chu Zihang's lips twitched slightly. His mother... was still as unreliable as ever!

208 Odin in the Nibelungen

Standing outside the door of her "home," Xia Mi looked at Chu Zihang with some curiosity: "Zihang, why were you in such a hurry just now? I thought Auntie wanted me to stay for dinner, and I wanted to try Auntie's cooking!"

After a long silence, Chu Zihang finally uttered a few words, "No, you don't want to! Believe me, when you see my mother's cooking, you'll feel like you've seen death!"

"Doesn't your aunt know how to cook?" Xia Mi wondered.

"Not only can't she cook, my mom is a complete kitchen killer!" Chu Zihang sighed softly, as if recalling a painful memory.

"By the way, aren't we supposed to be going back to Kassel College tonight? Why didn't you tell your aunt?" Xia Mi asked softly, putting her arm around Chu Zihang's.

"Well... let's not tell her!" Chu Zihang shook his head. "I've only been back for a few days. If I suddenly tell her I'm going back to the academy, my mom will definitely be upset!"

Chu Zihang's expression turned somber. "Ever since that stormy night, I've vowed not to let my mother be alone! So, it's best if we leave quietly."

"You..." Xia Mi touched Chu Zihang's cheek tenderly.

"Zihang, you always have to look forward to life! Besides, your uncle is only missing, there's no confirmed news of his death! Isn't no news the best news?"

“If he wasn’t dead, how could he have been completely out of touch for years? Knowing his personality, he would at least have let me know he was safe!” Chu Zihang smiled silently.

That's what he said, but for some reason, at this moment, Chu Zihang suddenly recalled the scene of being trapped in Nibelungen with Lu Mingfei and Tang Yu that day.

When Odin was hot on their heels, it was that dilapidated Maybach that saved their lives.

The fact that a Maybach, which shouldn't have been there at all, appeared in Nibelungen is enough to say something!

"Father, are you really not dead?" Chu Zihang asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.

Chu Zihang told his girlfriend Xia Mi about what he and Tang Yu had encountered in Nibelungen.

After listening to Chu Zihang's account, Xia Mi's usually innocent and carefree expression turned serious, which was quite unusual.

"Zihang, your uncle might really be alive!"

Chu Zihang didn't speak, but listened quietly.

Xia Mi continued, "Before we officially discuss this matter, let me tell you about the history of dragons!"

"The history recorded in Kassel College's 'Dragon Genealogy' is mostly true, but nearly 30% of it... is inferred by modern dragon researchers based on the circumstances at the time."

"And a large part of this 30% of history contradicts the true history! The book 'Dragon Genealogy' believes that most of the pantheons in the world describe dragons that possess the power of words."

"But the truth is not so! The 'Aesir' gods,' which are said to exist in Northern Europe, really did exist! The Aesir existed tens of thousands of years ago, when the Earth was still in the previous solar age."

"In the era when the Aesir were active, the World Tree, which stretched between heaven and earth, had not yet fallen. The Aesir protected the root of the world—the World Tree. However, as the being that brings end and destruction, the Black King Nidhogg tried every means to destroy the World Tree, so as to usher in the era of the dragons."

"The conflict between the two sides thus broke out! At the beginning, the Aesir were much stronger than the dragons, but due to the existence of Nidhogg, the dragons and the Aesir were in a stalemate for a long time."

"Until one day... the dragons had amassed enough power! The Black King Nidhogg led countless high-ranking dragons to attack Asgard!"

"That day is known as 'Ragnarok'! The great war between the Dragonborn and the Divineborn lasted for more than half a year, and the war ended in the defeat of the Divineborn!"

"The gods were slaughtered by the dragons. After Ragnarok, the dragons generally believed that the Aesir were extinct. However, Nidhogg and the high-ranking dragons around him knew very well that there was one last survivor of the Aesir! He was Odin, the father god of the Norse pantheon!"

"Could it be... that the Odin in Nibelungen is the same Odin of the Aesir?" Chu Zihang's eyes widened slightly. He felt as if he had heard some incredible secret today!

“That was true at the very beginning, but not afterward!” Xia Mi shook her head. “Don’t speak yet, let me finish!”

"At the end of Ragnarok, the critically wounded Odin used some forbidden power! He transformed his body into a special existence and then hid in Nibelungen."

"The situation at the time... the Black King was also seriously injured, so he could only choose to transform into a cocoon and go into slumber, and therefore had no energy to care about Odin. Odin, who hid in the Nibelungen, was also very well-behaved and did not send out any news."

"This situation lasted for more than two thousand years! When the Black King emerged from his 'cocoon' and once again dominated the world with his terrifying power, he remembered to settle accounts with Odin."

"One day, the Black King stormed into Nibelungen, where Odin resided, and easily twisted off Odin's head! But when he removed Odin's helmet and mask, the Black King was surprised to find..."

"The 'Odin' in Nibelungen is not the Odin of the Aesir at all, but a high-ranking dragon who has been missing for hundreds of years! The enraged Black King searched Nibelungen for a long time, but found no clues whatsoever!"

"He had no choice but to leave... Two years later, in the Nibelungen, a new 'Odin' appeared again. This time, the Black King sent the King of the Sky and the King of the Wind to kill 'Odin'."

"After the King of the Sky and the Wind killed Odin, hidden beneath Odin's mask was a dragon slayer among humans!"

"Gradually, the Black King discovered that no matter what method He used to kill Odin, every few years a new Odin would still appear in Nibelungen!"

"And the faces hidden beneath Odin's mask are all different! The 'Odins' could be dragons, or they could be humans!"

"The Black King couldn't completely destroy Odin, and Odin was hiding in Nibelungen, not causing any trouble. So gradually, the Black King simply stopped bothering with this troublesome matter!"

"Even the all-knowing and all-powerful Black King doesn't know the details of 'Odin,' but based on years of observation, he has drawn some conclusions!"

"Regardless of whether their true identities behind the masks are human or dragon, every generation of Odin has been a powerful being! And most importantly... they have all had contact with Odin's Nibelungen!"

209 Dragon-Slaying Conference

After listening to Xia Mi's account, a hint of excitement flashed deep in Chu Zihang's eyes. "So... you mean to say that my father has become the new Odin?"

“Now it seems that this possibility is very high!” Xia Mi pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand. “Odin is the master of Nibelungen. In theory, nothing within Nibelungen can escape His control.”

"But according to your description, Odin was chasing you when that dilapidated Maybach suddenly appeared and took you away from Odin's pursuit!"

"If Uncle is Odin, then that Maybach must represent Uncle's will as a human trying to protect his son, resisting Odin's chaotic and tyrannical will..."

"That's the only explanation!" Chu Zihang clenched his fists, and the dragon blood in his body began to boil uncontrollably, with a bright golden light flashing in his pupils.

At this moment, Chu Zihang didn't say much, but he had already made up his mind to go to the Nibelungen region to save his father!

On that rainy night several years ago, it was Chu Tianjiao who wielded the Divine Blade and, with his mortal body, charged at Odin's throne, which allowed Chu Zihang to escape.

This time... it's Chu Zihang's turn to rescue his father!

……

Half a day later, in America, outside Chicago, at Kassel College.

As soon as they got off the plane, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi rushed into the central control room of the college library.

Because of the tight schedule, there was no time for them to adjust to the time difference!

The logistics department and the school's sanitation department have everything ready, and now they are just waiting for the Dragon Slayer Team to head to the Greenland Sea!

……

"Welcome back, senior brother with facial paralysis!" Tang Yu gave Chu Zihang a gentle hug.

"Old rival, are you having a good time in China with your little girlfriend?" Golden-haired Caesar raised his cigar and gave a slight nod to the expressionless Chu Zihang.

The central control room was filled with the joyful atmosphere of a long-awaited reunion.

Five minutes later, Angers and Schneider, who were in charge of the dragon-slaying mission, pushed open the door and walked in.

With everyone seated, the dragon-slaying meeting officially began.

“Our target this time is the King of the Ocean and Water! Norma, get me the data!” Angers snapped his fingers.

Pale blue fluorescence instantly filled the entire conference table, and the fluorescent documents slowly swept across the dragon-slaying team's view.

Tang Yu studied the material intently for a long time and discovered that... all these seemingly high-level documents were actually just a bunch of nonsense!

"This guy who compiled the data is better at padding the word count than I am!" Tang Yu rolled his eyes.

Angers then spoke up: "There aren't many records about the King of the Ocean and Water in the history of hybrids! So... just take these materials with a grain of salt and don't take them too seriously!"

"Insufficient information means we know very little about our opponent, the King of the Ocean and Water. This is a battle we are not fully prepared for! So... please be careful!"

"You are Kassel's elite dragon-slaying team. Don't let a moment of carelessness lead to your downfall!" Angers earnestly admonished.

"How could that be? Principal Angers, you're overthinking it!" Caesar waved his hand. "Even before we gained our power, let alone now, we wouldn't have been so careless as to capsize in a ditch!"

“Sigh, people get old and talk more! But it doesn’t hurt to offer a few more reminders, does it?” Angers smiled easily.

"Now, let's proceed with the detailed mission deployment! This operation will be under the unified command of Professor Schneider, the head of the Executive Department, with Professor Mans Rundstedt serving as the alternate commander!"

"Professor Mans is currently aboard the meritorious tugboat Moniach, waiting near the Greenland ice sea. As soon as the dragon-slaying team arrives, the mission can begin immediately!"

"The weapons on board the Moniach included eight refined nitrate bombs, a modified alchemical version of the Storm torpedo, and several mercury-silver bullets infused with the blood of the Holy Infant."

"Aside from the Storm Torpedo, the other weapons, while insufficient to inflict fatal damage on the Dragon King, are enough to enrage him! The tactic for this mission is to first provoke the Dragon King, and then use the Storm Torpedo to finish the battle!"

"Storm torpedo? Principal, if I may be so bold, whether this thing can even hit anything is another question! You're hoping to use this thing to end the battle... you're probably going to be disappointed!" Caesar calmly analyzed.

“If we fight seriously, we can win, right?” Angers lit a cigar. “I know you are strong enough to fight the Dragon King head-on, but I still hope you can rely on the power of alchemical weapons to defeat the King of the Ocean and Water!”

"After all... although you have gained power comparable to the Dragon King after the 'Half-Blood Monarch' project, your bodies are still too fragile for true pure-blooded dragons!"

“If you choose to fight head-on, when there’s no other way out, the Dragon King might just take you all down with him! The Dragon King has the ability to ‘cocoon,’ but you don’t! If you die… this old man will be very sad!” Angers revealed a creepy, girlish side.

"Principal Angers, time is of the essence, so please refrain from your mushy talk!" Schneider's labored breathing, like a broken bellows, began to echo in the central control room.
