From Hokage to Visionary

The picture in his mind was interrupted, and Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes suddenly widened, and he only had time to utter an angry curse.

In an instant, his body faded and disappeared from the spot.

Thick, leaden clouds shrouded the city sky.

Dazzling lightning intertwined and penetrated the clouds, and heavy rain was like a surging river, pouring down on the asphalt road.

In the extremely low visibility environment, a black car suddenly appeared. It looked like a ferocious mechanical monster, roaring with its engine, speeding in the heavy rain and strong wind. The rain hit the body of the car, pulling out a thin line of water mist.

The black car was going very fast. Even though it was speeding up to 275 kilometers per hour, the dark asphalt road seemed to have no end.

The needle on the tachometer of the engine turned red, but the man driving the black car seemed to have no reaction at all. He still stepped on the accelerator with all his strength, staring straight ahead with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to find a 'way out' through the suffocating darkness.

Chapter 269: Rain Falls, Dragon's Shadow

The black car was speeding in the heavy rain. The strong wind mixed with rain hit the front windshield, and the dense crackling sound was like a piano playing.

At a speed of 275 kilometers per hour, the roar of the engine almost drowned out the sound of heavy rain outside the car.

The middle-aged man driving the car held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and stepped on the accelerator with his right foot. Blue blood vessels bulged around the corners of his eyes like restless snakes, and his pupils seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, bursting out with a blazing and hot light, staring straight ahead.

"Hold on tight, son."

The man turned his head and looked at the boy in the passenger seat. His hard expression seemed to melt a little: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The slightly magnetic voice soothed the boy's inner fear and smoothed out any uneasiness.

However, outside the black sedan that was speeding at a speed of 275 kilometers per hour, in the deep and dark night, it seemed that something unknown was approaching. One after another, black shadows, under the cover of the heavy rain, were silent like ghosts, staring down at the two people in the car through the rain-soaked windows.

The sharp nails scratched against the iron door, making a sharp sound that could be heard clearly.

It turned into knocking on the door, from light to heavy, until the whole car was banging. In the distance, there were more dark shadows, hundreds and thousands of them pouring in from all directions, no one knew how many there were. They stood silently, examining the two people in the car with cold and cruel eyes.

Suddenly, the boy held his head in pain and curled up.

The man next to him was distracted and stretched out his big hand to stroke the boy's hair. The rough palm made the boy a little dazed, but he did not say anything. He just looked at the boy quietly with a complicated look that was not sure whether it was sadness or joy.

"Fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel sharply.

The tires rubbed violently against the asphalt road, making a harsh noise and splashing rain. Even through the window, the boy seemed to be able to smell the stench of burning tires. Then the vehicle suddenly swung sideways and drifted towards the black shadows.

The car body weighing several tons swept the black shadow away and hit the guardrail beside the highway, and the metal guardrail was instantly shattered.

The man slammed the steering wheel again, trying to control the center of gravity of the vehicle to prevent it from rolling over. The moment he stepped on the accelerator, the engine of the black car roared again, like an unstoppable chariot in ancient times, carrying the momentum of thousands of troops, and crashed into the countless black shadows blocking the way ahead.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

The boy originally thought that those ghost-like figures would not scream.

But the reality seemed not to be the case. The ghosts were screaming in extremely sharp and hoarse voices. They were either knocked away or crushed by the black car. Their flesh and bones were caught in the tires. When the car ran over their bodies, the insides kept vibrating, and streams of thick blood were thrown far away.

The black sedan rushed forward recklessly, and under the man's superb control, it was like a savage steel beast, violently crushing all the black shadows that tried to block its way into pieces.

Watching what was happening outside through the car window, the boy was completely shocked. He stared at the man next to him in amazement, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Don't be afraid, those things are not people, they are Deadpool."

The man said hoarsely: "They have no citizenship, so there is no need to worry about legal sanctions."

Even in the face of such a dangerous situation, the man's tone was still frivolous, and although his expression was serious, he used joking words to comfort his son beside him.

However, in the next moment.

The inky black leaden clouds were torn apart by a blinding bolt of lightning.

What followed was the roar of thunder that seemed to pierce the eardrums and shatter the sky, and dense lightning descended in the rainstorm, accompanied by some kind of existence.

The hard asphalt road was shattered by lightning, and the scorching heat evaporated the rain.

The man stepped on the brakes hard. With a sharp scream, the black car slowed down suddenly, slid diagonally, and finally stopped in front of the toll booth.

In the dazzling white light, voices of mourning seemed to be heard in the strong wind, majestic and solemn, grand and melodious.

The unclear black shadows around them all knelt on the ground devoutly, with their heads pressed against the ground, crawling humbly, as if they were welcoming a great existence.

A heavy roar, accompanied by the sound of metal hitting the ground, gradually approached from the dazzling white light. A tall and burly shadow as big as a mountain, like a noble knight from ancient times, approached them step by step.

Boom!

Lightning cut through the dark night, bringing light and illuminating those who came.

From the endless darkness, accompanied by lightning, came a pure white horse as big as a mountain.

It was clad in heavy armor with intricate metal patterns, and its white fur was as crystal clear as jade, flowing with a faint glow. Its eight majestic hooves stepped on the hard asphalt road like tofu, easily making dents one after another. The horse wore a mask on its face, and after every thunderous roar, lightning-like debris sprayed out of its nostrils.

The black shadow sitting on the horse was wearing heavy dark gold armor.

The rain gave the armor a subtle glow, and the iron mask on his face depicted majesty. The golden pupils were like a star, and the light it released illuminated the surroundings.

The eight-legged horse, the long spear, the dark blue wind cloak and the one eye are all features that indicate his identity.

He is the One-Eyed One, the Supreme God, and the embodiment of truth.

He is the father of all gods, the god of magic, and the god of war.

He has many names, just like the wind has countless names. He is the King of Gods, the God King of Arthas - Odin!

The boy had read his mythological story, the Lord of Norse mythology, in extracurricular reading materials.

"get off."

The man pulled out a long black knife from the car door and led the shocked boy out of the car.

"Appear, human!"

In the rain, Odin's deep and powerful voice even drowned out the lightning and thunder.

"I know what you want. I'll give you the thing. Can you let us go?" The rain wet the man's hair. He opened his eyes and looked directly at the towering god in the rain, standing between the boy and Odin. His straight spine was like a steel sword that would rather break than bend.

The handsome boy had never felt that his father was as handsome as he was now.

"I will promise you my life."

Odin said calmly.

"Hmph, becoming like these dead people?"

The man looked around with mockery at the dark shadows crawling on the ground.

"No, your bloodline is better and will be more powerful."

Odin said.

"So, there's no room for negotiation?"

The man sighed, then leaned over and whispered something in the boy's ear.

The boy was stunned and stared at his father blankly, but all he saw in return was his back. He could only silently go to the back seat of the car, take out the suitcase, and walk over to hand it to the man.

"Remember what I just told you?"

The man took the suitcase and whispered to the boy, "Now, it's time to run!"

He suddenly roared the last word and threw the suitcase at Odin.

The boy turned around and ran without thinking, as if he was crazy, but the dark shadows were like sharks that smelled blood. Half of them went towards the suitcase, and the other half swarmed towards the boy. They were very fast, but their shapes were distorted, and they looked like ghosts.

"Did I let you go?!"

The man spun suddenly, and the long sword created a dazzling arc of light, cutting off the surrounding rain.

The sound of bones breaking under the blade and flesh being cut mixed with the heavy rain. The wailing of the black shadows came one after another, and the boy dared not stop.

He jumped into the car and turned to look at the rain.

However, it was this one glance that the boy would remember for the rest of his life.

At the end of the viaduct, the sky that had always been shrouded in darkness now looked like a lake with boulders thrown into it, with dark clouds surging violently.

The man jumped high, holding the knife in his hand, and with great force, he chopped at Odin who was riding on his eight-legged horse.

Odin held high the artifact made of the branches of the world tree, and golden meteors poured onto it like lightning, bursting out with dazzling brilliance. Just when the two were about to clash, it seemed as if some force pressed the pause button, and even the rain stopped in mid-air.

A dazzling golden light burst out from Odin's one eye as he stared at the rolling clouds.

boom--! ! !

The ink-black clouds were torn apart by the powerful force.

The leather-covered wings tore the rolling clouds apart, and then a creature from mythology appeared. It was a giant dragon with a grayish-white body and complex and mysterious runes engraved on the scales on its surface. His eyes were light gold, with vertical pupils, clear and bright, as if reflecting the thoughts of all living beings and containing the vast ocean.

Chapter 270: The Psychologist at Kassel College

Chu Zihang woke up from his dream and stared at the ceiling calmly.

Outside the window, there was the sound of dripping rain. The raindrops slid down the transparent glass, making the outside world blurry.

This was not the first time he had dreamed of the same scene.

Ever since the 'accident' four years ago, every time he fell asleep, the scenes in his dreams kept replaying, as if reminding him not to forget.

But. How could he forget?

Because in this world, perhaps he is the only one who still remembers that man.

Someone once said that a person’s true death is not the disappearance of his body, but when no one in the world remembers him anymore.

In the stormy night, on the viaduct, the man held the godslaying sword in hand, and after taking a last look at him, he rushed without hesitation towards Odin, the supreme god in Norse mythology. Gungnir, made of the world tree, was raised, and countless meteors burst out from the tip of the spear.

But at this moment, the gray-white dragon appeared and suddenly broke into the battle between gods and humans.

The grayish-white scales were engraved with countless mysterious runes, as if extending into the flesh and blood and the void, and the pair of light golden vertical pupils, like giant lamps, stared straight at him, as if revealing some unspeakable emotions and perceptions.

However, at this critical moment, a sharp pain like a needle prick forced Chu Zihang to stop recalling.

"Here it comes again. As expected, I still can't remember more details." Chu Zihang pinched his frowning brows with his index and middle fingers and sighed softly. His cold face showed a bit of bitterness and helplessness: "Whether it's a dream or a memory, it always ends here."

He seemed to have lost a lot of memory about what happened that day.

According to the police who later found him on the overpass, he was in the Maybach luxury car worth nine million, holding the steering wheel tightly, but he was in a coma. No one knew why he was there, and no one knew what had happened.

Later, when Chu Zihang woke up from the ward, he tried hard to recall what happened after the "dragon" appeared.

But unfortunately, every time he wanted to recall, he was accompanied by a sharp pain like a needle prick, as if there was some unknown force preventing him from remembering more.

"Gray Dragon"

The only thing Chu Zihang knew was the giant gray dragon.

Before, before he came into contact with the 'truth', he always thought it was some kind of illusion, or some other creature.

But after joining the 'Kassel' Academy, he knew that the 'gray dragon' that appeared on that rainy night was definitely real.

The dragon, a creature that only exists in mythology, actually exists in reality and has ruled the earth long before humans. It is the absolute ruler, possessing a strong physique and many "spirits". It is also the greatest enemy of mankind today!

Kassel College is a college that cultivates outstanding talents with the ultimate goal of slaying dragons.

It can be said that the goal of the students in this academy is to slay the dragon at all costs, using any means and strength!

Dragon slayers are naturally not mortals, they all have more or less dragon blood, that is, superhumans called "hybrids", a product between humans and dragons.

Later, Chu Zihang looked up some information, trying to find the "gray dragon" that suddenly appeared on the rainy night, but the result disappointed him. Whether it was the secret party books that recorded the dragon clan or the database known as the most powerful artificial intelligence, he could not find any information at all.

There wasn't even the slightest trace that the gray dragon might have ever existed.

drop drop drop

A message from 'Norma' interrupted Chu Zihang's memories and dragged him back to the real world.

It was news from the Enforcement Department that there was a suspected high-risk 'hybrid' in Brooklyn, New York, and that he had committed several horrific crimes. He was asked to follow the Enforcement Department as soon as possible after being prepared to go to Brooklyn, New York to resolve the incident.

It is worth mentioning that the executive department of Kassel Academy is an elite department that specializes in targeting crimes committed by half-bloods and the killing of dragons.

Generally speaking, only extremely outstanding students will enter the executive department for internship in advance, and he is one of them, and has carried out many tasks.

After a simple wash, Chu Zihang put on his clothes, opened an umbrella, and walked out of the dormitory.

The sky was still foggy and a drizzle of rain was falling.
