From Hokage to Visionary

Suddenly, Norton was startled and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

"Is this feeling Constantine?!" He finally realized where the throbbing came from. It was his blood-related brother. Norton suddenly turned his head to look at the palace, only to see that the tightly closed door had opened a crack at some point, and his heart was filled with great panic.

Is it difficult?

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, a weak voice came.

"I'm sorry, brother."

"After all, I still cannot become the king who devours the world as you expect."

"You once told me that the fate of the abandoned tribe is to hold high the broken battle flag, cross the desolate plains, and return to the hometown of the past. But... I can't go back. So, brother, please eat me, take my will, and embark on the journey home together."

"no no!"

Norton had never been so panicked, even when facing the former 'Black King'.

No, not possible!

Even now, Norton still couldn't believe it and stared at the bronze temple.

But soon, a figure walked out. It was the girl who had just been hunted. Although her body was covered in blood and her diving suit was torn in many places, revealing her delicate white skin, her face was filled with a sarcastic smile: "Hey, Mr. Dragon King, I'm a checkmate."

Boom! ! !

A huge explosion sounded in the bronze temple.

In an instant, the specially made alchemical powder was carried by the air wave and quickly poured out from the bronze temple, then filled the huge space.

"This is sulfur! No, it also has the function of neutralizing the air!" After just one breath, Norton could sense that the sulfur contained in these alchemical powders was undoubtedly a deadly poison to the dragon race. His pupils shrank immediately: "Not good, Constantine!"

It would be fine if it were normal, but it is pure fantasy for a mere sulfur to kill the Dragon King.

But now Constantine is in the weakest 'hatching' state, and the air has been taken away. The consequences can be imagined!

The throbbing heartbeat that connected them by blood was severed at that very moment!

At this moment, Norton was engulfed by great panic.

He even completely forgot to control the gathered fire elements, and the words that were forcibly interrupted immediately backfired on the person who released them.

A crack appeared in the dazzling sun, and soon it was unable to suppress the fire element inside. It exploded like a huge bomb. The turbulent fire element exploded on the spot, and the piercing sound waves rose up, causing rolling gusts of wind and waves, melting the bronze within a radius of dozens of meters!

Nuonuo didn't dare to delay at all, she knew this was her only chance, so she rushed out in the burning flames and rolled down the bronze stairs.

"Are you okay?" Although he was seriously injured, he was not as seriously injured as Chu Zihang. Nuo Nuo immediately carried the seriously injured Chu Zihang on his back and showed concern: "I'm glad you're back."

"What did you do?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It's nothing. While you were fighting, I sneaked into the Bronze Palace and blew up the Dragon King that was hatched inside." Nuo Nuo spoke lightly while recounting the thrilling fact.

Even Chu Zihang was frightened by Nuo Nuo's courage. It was a bit terrifying for him to sneak into someone's palace and detonate a bomb in front of a Dragon King!

At this time, the dark dragon shape appeared again in front of the collapsed bronze palace.

"Constantine!!!"

Norton's angry roar echoed throughout the Bronze City from the burning flames.

Pain, grief, rage and other violent emotions gushed out like substance, carrying with them a cold and murderous intent, filling every corner.

"It looks like we should run away."

Hearing the shrill scream, Nuo Nuo was frightened and said in a low voice: "I don't want to be caught by that guy, otherwise I will probably die miserably."

Chapter 357: The King of Bronze and Fire (I)

"Constantine."

The deep and hoarse voice was calling out to blood-related relatives.

However, the only response from Norton was silence. In the nearly collapsed temple, no one called him "brother" anymore.

People say that the most painful thing is to be heartbroken.

In the eyes of outsiders, He is a king with a tyrannical nature, a cruel ruler, and the supreme Dragon King of the dragon clan.

He is also a great being who holds the power of bronze and casting and stands at the pinnacle of alchemy!

He once used a mountain as a mold, poured molten bronze, and built a magnificent city that neither humans nor even dragons could reach.

He once killed metal with fire, and then resurrected it, eventually forging the 'Seven Deadly Sins' that symbolize the pinnacle of alchemy and are powerful enough to kill the Dragon King!

He is the King of Bronze and Fire!

But who can know?

During those lonely years, the cowardly and timid younger brother who sat with Him on the bronze throne was the one who gave Him the greatest encouragement and support.

In Norton's violent and cruel golden eyes, there was a rare hint of confusion, loneliness and desolation.

He stared blankly at the empty city set on fire. Everything seemed to have returned to the Baidi City under the blazing fire a thousand years ago.

That day, He howled to the sky, venting all His anger and resentment.

He once said that the fate of the abandoned tribe is to cross the endless ice field, raise the battle flag again, and return to their homeland.

He also said that death is not terrible, it is just a long sleep. Before they can devour the world, it is better to sleep peacefully than to travel alone, and they will still wake up.

But now, Constantine, his brother will never wake up again.

His brother fell into eternal sleep, and would never live to see the day when he could return to his hometown.

Grief, hesitation, loneliness, fear, confusion, and desolation. Countless emotions gathered in the heart, and what ultimately gave birth to was anger.

At this moment, Norton seemed to have calmed down again, but also seemed to have become even more extreme.

He walked with heavy steps, dragging the dragon body offered by Samson, arduously passed through the flames, stepped on the molten bronze, and walked into the temple step by step.

In the collapsed ruins, He saw at a glance the cocoon that Constantine had hatched.

But now it has become shriveled and yellow, and it seems to have lost its vitality inside. In the pervasive alchemical poisonous fog, not even a heartbeat can be heard.

Looking at the lifeless white cocoon in silence, many memories flashed through Norton's mind.

My brother and I left the endless ice field, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to this country.

During the days of following Gongsun Shu and the moment of falling asleep in Baidi City, we made an agreement to return to our hometown hand in hand when we woke up.

But now, all is in vain.

Norton stroked the shriveled white cocoon, his empty eyes filled with brutality: "Is this what you call fate?"

Do not!

no way!

Even if the final result cannot be changed, at least He gets to choose the path in between!

"Even if the road ahead is destined to be a dark road of eternal sleep." Norton carefully tore the cocoon with his thick scaly claws, revealing the bones inside. His golden eyes were stained with blood red, and he opened his bloody mouth, biting and devouring Constantine: "I will also open up a road that belongs to us!"

The creepy sounds of biting and swallowing echoed in the ruins.

Soon, Norton, who had devoured Constantine's remains, raised his long neck and let out a long roar that shook the earth.

Roar! ! !

The sound waves and air waves roared and shook, and the bronze temple that was almost collapsed shook.

The tail with spikes like a long whip swung suddenly, creating a huge wave of air and gust of wind.

The only two remaining bronze columns were shattered, and the bronze dome collapsed instantly. Countless huge fragments fell down, burying the giant white cocoon and raising billowing smoke and dust.

Then, a slender and powerful body stood up, bursting out with unparalleled power.

Undoubtedly, it was the intersection of "power" and "force". Stepping on countless bones and corpses and ascending onto the cold bronze throne, it symbolized a "complete" king!

The ancient top predator awakened, its golden eyes leaping with flames like molten gold, like two huge searchlights lighting up in the ruins filled with alchemical poisonous fog. Wave after wave of scorching hot air waves kept hitting all directions like a tsunami.

The bronze from which the temple was cast was melting and flowing down like a waterfall.

Then, the entire base and even the bronze city slowly melted under the extremely high temperature. The groundwater flowing into the lake was boiling, emitting large amounts of scorching smoke.

Such abnormally high temperature quickly made Nuonuo and Chu Zihang, who were fleeing, feel the suffocating pressure behind them.

There is no doubt that it is the 'Dragon King' who is awakening!

"The Bronze City is destroying itself!" Nuonuo stared at the cracks on the wall of the corridor and the path that changed direction completely like a maze. He roughly judged the current situation. His bright eyes dimmed slightly and he said bitterly: "It seems that we can't escape."

"Don't. Give up!"

Chu Zihang said with difficulty: "There must be a way out. Contact Norma."

"We've already tried it. The only means of communication has been cut off."

Nuo Nuo shook his head, picked up the broken black rope, looked at the damaged diving suit, and sighed: "Besides, even if we find the exit, we can't float up without the 'key' and the diving suit is damaged."

After a fierce battle, both her and Chu Zihang's diving suits suffered extensive damage.

Perhaps because she was tired, Nuonuo supported the seriously injured Chu Zihang and sat down against the sealed bronze wall. She looked at him and said, "Interview, you are almost dying. Do you have anything else to say? If you don't say it, you will have no chance."

"Okay, use my blood." Chu Zihang's face was pale, obviously he had lost too much blood, and he said weakly: "Use the material of my diving suit, then at least you can get out."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Nuo Nuo frowned and was interrupted when he was about to speak.

"Your diving suit is relatively intact." Chu Zihang paused, took a breath, and then said, "I can't. My diving suit is too badly damaged and can't be repaired."

This is the only way to escape from this bronze city, sacrifice one person's diving suit and repair the other one which is still relatively intact.

At least this method can allow one person to survive!

"I reject."

Nuo Nuo shook his head and said seriously, "I can't abandon my mission companions and live like this, and then bear the pain for the rest of my life."

"I'm the team leader here, and I have the final say!"

As soon as Chu Zihang spoke loudly, he couldn't stop spitting out blood.

"Sorry, I won't listen." Nono said calmly, "When have you ever seen me listen to orders?"

Chu Zihang was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled bitterly.

That's true. Nono is a famous witch in Kassel. She always likes to do the opposite of others, and no one can make her do something she doesn't want to do.

Even Caesar couldn't control it, let alone him?

"I promised Caesar that I would let you go back alive." Chu Zihang murmured.

"What does it have to do with me? I didn't promise you that." Nuo Nuo said as he carefully treated his wounds. However, with such serious injuries, if he didn't get treatment, he would probably bleed to death soon. "How long can we live?"

Chu Zihang closed his eyes. He didn't like discussing tragic stories.

At this moment, a strange noise suddenly caught their attention.

Could it be that the Dragon King is chasing us? !

Nono immediately drew out the Murasame sword next to him, stood with the sword in front of him, and stared at the corridor vigilantly.

"it's me."

In the darkness, a figure walked out, took off his diving mask, and revealed his old face: "I'm glad that you two are still alive."

"Professor Mannstein?!"

Chu Zihang and Nuonuo were both shocked by the person who suddenly appeared in the corridor.

Chapter 358: The King of Bronze and Fire (Part )

Downstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir, the Moniach was sailing alone, with the Poseidon's searchlight sweeping back and forth, shining the light onto the dark river surface.

Caesar held onto the railing on the deck while continuing to explore below the river surface with his sickle-weasel.

"According to the infrared scan, the temperature at the bottom of the lake is rising rapidly!" Xia Mi, who is also a member of the support team, stayed in the captain's room to monitor the equipment, staring at the huge red light ball on the screen with a serious look: "Captain Caesar, is there still no news about Professor Manstein? The situation is not good now."

"High temperature? Could it be the words of the King of Bronze and Fire?"

Caesar on the side of the boat frowned, his blue eyes fixed on the lake, revealing a hint of anxiety: "So, the mission failed, has the Dragon King awakened?"

"Probably, at a temperature like this."
