C-level hybrid forced to slay a dragon

Odin remained silent, but raised his right arm, and a more brilliant blue aurora rose in the sky. The dark clouds transformed into pools of thunder, and the dense lightning proclaimed His supreme power. Thick bolts of lightning raged across the night sky, as if He held a spear in His hand.

With a casual wave of his hand, He unleashed countless bolts of lightning that collided with wind, rain, and blade-shaped storms in mid-air, easily shattering the blasphemers' attack.

The wind element surged again, and the most active fire element ignited the wind blades, transforming them into a sky full of fiery meteors that pierced through the storm and thunder summoned by Odin. But those fiery meteors vanished into chaos the moment they touched Odin's armor, dissipating into the air. The sporadic bursts of fire that struck could not melt through Odin's armor; the scattered bursts of heat only caused the eight-legged steed to neigh angrily.

The range of the original realm is not enough... The further away from the center of the realm the simulated power of the words he used was, the faster its power weakened until it dissipated and returned to zero.

Gungnir was only six meters away from him; it was a fight to the death. His newly formed bones and muscles gave him insect-like leaping power, and the tiny figure leaped over a hundred meters, level with Odin's pupils.

Luo Yin re-condensed the wind element, but this time to accelerate. The surging wind element protected his charge, and his phantom-like speed did not trigger a sonic boom. He ignited his domain, and the cone-shaped storm transformed into a torrent of fire, carrying the burning Word of Power domain of the primordial realm towards Odin like a colossal meteorite capable of destroying the world.

He pierced through the azure lightning barrier with immense heat and kinetic energy, as easily as tearing through a sheet of paper. The Cyclops clasped his arms together, using his extremely thick alchemical armor to withstand the violent impact.

"I especially love the last part of 'Kung Fu Hustle,' Stephen Chow's Buddha Palm descending from the sky was so cool."

Even in such conditions, the Kusanagi remained completely unchanged. Its moon-white blade sliced ​​through Odin's arm armor, and flames poured into His arms, turning flesh and blood into charcoal. Sleipnir stomped furiously on the road, its eight bronze-pillar-like legs carving a half-meter-deep trench in the pavement.

The elevated road collapsed, and the three beings plummeted downwards simultaneously. The burning primordial energy extinguished in an instant, and Gungnir advanced another meter. Luo Yin failed to break through Odin's defenses, but for the first time, he inflicted serious damage on the King of the Gods.

Luo Yin reignited the primordial realm. Regardless of whether he could accomplish the feat of slaying a god, he would continue burning until his heart was pierced.

The azure cloud stirred up wind and fire, forming a giant moon blade tens of meters long. He moved and slashed between the eight legs of the giant beast, like a one-winged phoenix.

The dozens of thrusts from the Kusanagi destroyed all of the warhorse's Achilles tendons, while the intense heat melted its armor and ravaged its powerful muscles. Sleipnir collapsed to its knees under the weight of the attack, and Odin lost his steed.

The enormous spirit awoke on the elevated road, and Odin leaped off his warhorse.

This is a simplified version of the Underworld Array. While Luo Yin unleashes the fire, he continuously smelts metal from underground, shaping the circuit of the Tree of Death while attacking. The original realm will be reduced to zero and disappear, but the smelted metal will remain intact.

At this moment, the Eye of the Yellow Springs Formation is the peerless sword, Kusanagi!

Luo Yin leaped onto Sleipnir's head, and layers of frost formed above the Kusanagi Cloud, eventually solidifying into a ten-meter-long cross-shaped giant sword.

Unfortunately, it still couldn't fully recreate the deathly decree of the trial... The ice blade pierced Sleipnir's brain, and Luo Yin twisted the blade, dragging it at high speed across its mountain-like body, slicing through every vertebra and nerve.

Tons of blood gushed out like fountains, then froze into strange, dark red ice crystals in the extreme cold.

Luo Yin leaped from the end of his warhorse's spine, wielding a giant ice blade in both hands as he slashed at Odin, who was leaping at high speed.

"Odin, your horse is dead!"

Gungnir was only a meter away from his heart, yet Luo Yin was still laughing wildly.

The original realm returned to zero, the Spear of Destiny pressed tightly against his back, like the kiss of death. He seemed to hear the sigh of the underworld, but it was too late.

Wielding the Kusanagi sword, Odin charged towards him, piercing through the dense lightning, and slashed at the one-eyed giant. Odin's massive body moved with astonishing speed, and his strength surpassed that of the half-blood monarch, but he had no weapon to withstand that white sword.

Even after losing his eight steeds, and even though he was temporarily at a disadvantage, he felt no tension, for the outcome was already predetermined.

Luo Yin burst forth, his form resembling a hawk hunting its prey with its dragon wings folded, the Kusanagi sword piercing Odin's single eye.

He fell. The power of his words vanished, and the spear of fate pierced his body.

Where the heart once was, now only a huge circular cavity remains. The sacred remains, along with the powerful heart, have been ripped from the body, and the damaged spine shows signs of carbonization.

Chapter Nine: The Immortal Heart

That's the end of it. Falling on the path of slaying gods isn't so bad.

No blood could flow from his carbonized heart; his powerless body knelt limply, then fell backward. Life was slowly slipping away from his body.

Wait, he's not dead yet, he's about to die.

The tattered armor of the Cyclops bent down to pick up the lifeless remains of the holy beings from the ground, a hint of annoyance in its golden eyes. Less than a quarter of its power remained in the bones, and such an unclean creature could not be used to extract dragon bones.

Luo Yin suddenly understood something. Gungnir wasn't targeting him, but rather the Holy Remains. After merging with the Holy Remains, he shared consciousness with them, and the deadly killing intent he sensed was actually directed at the Holy Remains.

As the king of the gods in Norse mythology, Odin was far too proud. So-called "half-blooded monarchs" were not worthy of being his rivals. Only the last remains of the White Emperor were the opponents he acknowledged.

Odin turned and walked toward the dying god horse Sleipnir, his single eye filled with sorrow.

The blue aurora began to break and dissipate, the wind, rain, and fog were receding, and the night sky gradually darkened and became quiet.

Suddenly He heard the sound of drums, violent, rough, yet displaying the power of new life. The chaotic war drums resounded across the sky, and in the instant He turned around, a sharp sword pierced through His magnificent visor.

He only had time to avoid the vital spot in the eye, and with a powerful kick, he sent the swordsman flying.

The rapidly vibrating Kusanagi cloud severely damaged His brain nerves, revealing the attacker's terrifying form.

Luo Yin stood up, his body slightly unsteady. Gungnir had destroyed the Holy Remains, severely damaging his spirit in the process. His bloodline, far exceeding its critical limits, was going berserk and out of control, and ferocious dragon-like signs were emerging on his body.

The original ten-meter-diameter domain of the Word of Power shrank to just over three meters, with chaotic elements rising and falling in the domain that flickered around him.

Within the hollow of the chest cavity, the regenerated metal heart beats powerfully, metal tubes piercing through carbonized flesh to reconnect blood vessels. The spinal cord is producing new blood, and solidified metal is repairing the damaged spine, with the Word of Power Serpent circuit temporarily replacing the function of the nerves.

Before Luo Yin could regenerate muscles and skin, his ferocious alchemical heart was exposed to the air, each beat emitting a roar like a dragon's cry, forcibly pumping blood to every corner of his body.

"Ouch, that really hurts..."

Each beat of his alchemical heart triggered his pain receptors, reminding him of the illusion of death he felt when the Holy Lance pierced him.

"I hate your gaze, your haughty air. Whether gods or dragon kings, they are all arrogant because of their powerful divine or dragon king hearts. Arrogance is your eternal original sin."

Originally, only one human heart beat here. A bright red and weak heart.

Now it's made of steel. If you pierce it again, I'll replace it with a stronger heart and keep it beating.

The one-eyed god remained silent, crimson-gold blood flowing down his mask.

Even Odin could not throw Gungnir twice in a row. Activating that mortal law would be an immense burden for Him.

Odin raised a withered branch of the World Tree, while Raijin concealed the sharpness of the Kusanagi beneath the shadows of the dragon's wings.

Luo Yin's bloodline has gone berserk; every second, the dragon blood is devouring his mind, and he doesn't have much time left before he transforms into a Death Servant. But during this time, he remains the human in the world closest to the Dragon King.

In the sonic boom, gods and humans collided and struck each other, and the Kusanagi and Gungnir collided to create a dazzling stream of high-energy particles.

The chaotic primordial realm was completely transformed by Luo Yin into the most powerful earth element, granting him power comparable to that of a god. He completely abandoned defense, and the Ame-no-Kurakumo aimed at the gaps in Odin's armor, thrusting hundreds and thousands of times.

Both sides wielded the most advanced weapons in the world, yet lacked corresponding shields. This was a head-on clash of sword and spear, a battle of wounds and blood!

Gungnir repeatedly pierced the chambers of the alchemical heart, which he then replaced with new metal. His bone wings were shattered by the golden meteor shower, yet he continued his furious attack.

Each time the Holy Lance carbonized his scales and flesh, the Kusanagi would simultaneously pierce through Odin's muscles and bones. His highly dragonified body seemed unable to compare with Odin's giant form; his body, a mixture of regenerated metal and flesh, was destroyed like a broken toy.

But he hasn't fallen yet, nor has Odin.

Dozens of meters away, Odin threw Gungnir again, but this time it did not carry the decree of death.

Luo Yin was left with only a lingering consciousness, but he launched an attack in an instant. Was this Odin's mistake...?

His chaotic will could no longer control the power of words, and he thrust at Odin's single eye with incredible speed. Gungnir streaked across the sky like a star, but missed.

In mid-air, just a step away from Odin, Luo Yin was pierced by the Holy Spear. Gungnir wasn't flying; rather, a creature wielding it pierced Luo Yin's alchemical heart from behind.

Odin tossed Gungnir to another being, one of incredible speed. Luo Yin was unaware of its presence, saw its actions, and only felt the air currents and shadows, a faint spiritual presence, at the very moment he was pierced.

The Word of Power, Time Zero, moved with extreme speed. At the very moment the Word of Power, Origin Realm, collapsed, the opponent struck, a deadly attack hidden within the crack of time.

Luo Yin turned his head with all his might to look at the assassin, but the death-like transformation and massive blood loss made him lose consciousness.

The figure wasn't particularly tall, but he too wore dark gold armor and a blue cloak, wielding a long, withered spear. However, his body was tightly bound in a pale white shroud, the surface of which was covered with blood-red runes, making him look like a vengeful ghost.

He wore a silver mask on his face, the eye and mouth openings of which shone with a molten gold-like light.

The second one, Odin?

So this is what you are! Odin, the legend of Valhalla, the king of the gods...

In the moment before losing consciousness, Luo Yin initiated a spiritual separation ritual. His last vestiges of will separated from his body and entered the deep pool of his spirit.

The two Odins watched the creature on the road grow cold, heads bowed in deep thought.

How did he manage to do it? A human who stole divine power... such an existence might also be a possibility in opposing that supreme being.

A pale white shroud covered Luo Yin's "corpse," binding his body tightly, and rings of runes appeared on it. An unusual life force was born from the dead body; the alchemical heart automatically repaired itself and began to beat slowly.

A silver mask hovered above Luo Yin's half-dragon face for a long time before finally covering it.

He was placed in a huge silver coffin made of recycled metal, with iron chains as thick as an arm binding and sealing the coffin lid.

At the end of the road, a magnificent blue aurora rose again, and two "Odins" carrying the holy spear, along with the holy remains and coffin, stepped into the aurora.

Chapter Ten: Looking Back

The SUV spewed blue flames as it crashed and crushed the dark figures. Even the Valkyries' dragonborn Pegasus was as fragile as paper before it.

The gray outer shell had been completely broken and peeled off, and the battered dark gold chariot tore through the Deadpools' defenses like a raging rhinoceros.

The series of violent impacts left Luo Kedi, in the back seat, dizzy, but Lu Mingfei remained firmly gripping the steering wheel, his clenched teeth numb. This was not only due to the muscles he had built up during this period, but also to the "dragon bone state" that had quietly appeared on his body—a dragon bone state completely different from that formed by human bones.

Behind them, the earth-shattering collisions continued, and golden meteor showers, storms and thunder, fire rain and elemental turbulence painted the entire sky as if it were the end of the world.

It was hard to imagine that it was a battle between two beings. Although Lu Mingfei was somewhat slow to realize, he also realized that this Senior Brother Luo was definitely not some C-level logistics technician; this was not a power that a human should possess.

The Deadpool army blocking their path seemed endless, but at least they were definitely getting further and further away from Odin behind them. The little devil had somehow gotten onto the roof of the SUV, propping himself up with his hands, watching the world end amidst the 300+ km/h gale. This was indeed something the devil liked to do.

Lu Mingze tilted his head and looked at Lu Mingfei, whose eyes were contorted with rage. His pale golden eyes revealed no emotion.

The flying shards of metal slashed Lu Mingfei, leaving more than a dozen deep gashes, but his body was too numb to feel the pain. The man had given Lu Mingfei only one task: to escape Nibelungen with his father.

He has to do this!

The little devil returned to the passenger seat, his spotless black suit and tie making Lu Mingfei look even more disheveled.

"If you really are a devil, then hurry up and think of a way, and use whatever abilities you have!"

“Received, my dear brother.”

"Black Sheep Wall, the StarCraft cheat code you're most familiar with, reveals the entire map."

Lu Mingfei shouted out the cheat code, and the wind and rain on the elevated road dissipated, revealing a dark red path in the white fog, pointing directly to the Nibelungen exit.

"Something f, 1% fusion! Experience the thrill of power and strength once more, brother!"

The SUV sped along the dark red path, and Lu Mingfei's wounds healed rapidly. He drew his alchemical revolver and fired continuously at the outside of the vehicle. The lightning-streaked bullets maintained excellent accuracy at high speed, blowing the pursuing Pegasus into the head one by one.

"Something F" literally means "to exchange something for nothingness," and in StarCraft, this cheat code is also called "Restriction Removal." After returning from Tokyo, he looked up the meaning of this phrase again, and it can also be understood as "to gain something without effort."

This is a phrase, not a complete sentence; it lacks the crucial predicate and subject. The key to understanding it lies in whether Lu Mingfei is the one who "gives," offering something in exchange for nothingness, or the one who "gains," gaining power without any cost.

The SUV finally reached the highway exit. The Valkyries stood tall in the wind and rain, no longer giving chase. The front of the SUV smashed the tollbooth barrier like a warhammer, and half of the vehicle left Nibelungen.
