He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

Presumably, similar disasters are breaking out everywhere, and this is all he can do.

We are still too weak, and can only watch helplessly as so many people struggle or sacrifice themselves in misery.

"Let's go, everyone, it's time to set off!"

Behind him were Skadi and the other team members. Everyone was fully armed.

Even the 28-member police force was all equipped with mythical weapons from Odin's Treasury, with several burly men pushing out a giant Viking ballista and driving military trucks to transport "treasure ammunition".

"Odin, I have brought you destruction!"

Facing the tightly closed and blocked city walls in front of the base, Lu Ming took a deep breath.

The burst of power was like the first roar of an armor-piercing cannon after it leaves the barrel.

P.S. From "Dragon Five": "Dragon Spiders have been observed in history, and in terms of level, they should be a second-generation species. Infection with dragon blood shouldn't be enough to cause this level of mutation; that serum is strange." Fingel muttered to himself in his pocket.

Volume 1: Chapter 75 Jesta, Provoking the Ancestor Will Pay the Price!

Rumble!

The deafening roar was like a thunderclap.

With his martial arts personality activated, Lu Ming unleashed a punch, the stress structure throughout his body advancing and amplifying layer by layer until that tiny fist surface unleashed an astonishing mountain-splitting power!

The thick city wall blocking the entrance to the base shattered instantly!

Bricks and stones flew, dust billowed into the sky, and in the violent shock that shook the mountains, the dark bronze wall that had just seemed indestructible suddenly became as fragile as paper.

However, at the very moment the city wall burst open, the runes hidden on the wall surface also lit up almost instantly, flashing with a chilling, eerie blue magical light!

The next second—

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Countless skeletal birds fluttered out from the cracks in the city wall, blotting out the sky and emitting piercing screams.

On the ground, one after another, enormous spider monsters crawled out of the rubble, their eight long legs gleaming coldly, and corrosive venom dripping from their mouthparts.

Even more bizarre undead monsters surged in through the breach like a tide.

The sheer number of them is enough to make one's scalp crawl.

"careful!"

Ai Lei's voice rang out from behind. But there was no trace of panic in her tone. It wasn't just Lu Ming's strength, but also because they had been prepared.

"Fire!"

At the very moment the monsters surged out, artillery fire roared behind Lu Ming!

At a command, the police force swiftly began loading and firing crossbows. Streams of magical artifact light streaked across the sky like a meteor shower, bombarding the monster horde with overwhelming firepower!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Explosions continued, and flames shot into the sky.

The skeletal bird was blasted to pieces in mid-air, its bone fragments scattering everywhere. The spider monster, struck by the light of the Noble Phantasm, was vaporized into ashes before it could even scream.

The undead monsters that surged out fell in droves under the intense barrage of fire.

In just a few seconds.

The once densely packed horde of monsters was completely wiped out.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, leaving behind a vast expanse of clean, white earth.

Lu Ming stood at the gap, dusted off his hands, and remained calm.

In fact, none of these changes and reactions exceeded what they had previously discussed.

Before taking action, Skadi used her Primal Runes to quickly analyze the properties of the runes on the wall and explained them to Lu Ming in detail. After understanding, Lu Ming found the weak point and broke through with a single punch.

Lu Ming originally wanted to resolve this quickly on his own, but found that it wouldn't work. This was because the runes this time were quite different from those he had seen before. The sealing runes in Odin's Vault were static, while these runes were hidden and moved with the walls.

To save time, Lu Mingtu had to have Skadi explain things to him first, while he activated his 'Rune' personality to learn and understand, and then break through his weaknesses.

The remaining people stayed behind to deal with the surging monsters and clean up the mess.

"Well done! Charge! Odin, I have brought you destruction!"

After clearing away the obstacles, Halluri was the first to jump up and clap her hands excitedly.

Ishtar, who was watching over from the side, was speechless.

Kid, you're invincible! Your mind has been brainwashed by Lu Ming's Odin conspiracy theory, and you've even learned to speak like Lu Ming.

From now on, you will be Lu Ming No. 1.

Wait, that's not right.

If Haruli is Lu Ming, then what is Ishtar, who is in charge of taking care of this child?

......

The obstacle has been cleared; let's move forward.

The group continued their journey according to the previously agreed-upon team formation.

To prevent people from getting separated, everyone was specially divided into groups.

Furthermore, based on the contract, a communication network was established, allowing them to contact each other at any time. This was achieved with the help of Jack the Ripper (who utilized Flat's talents).

Lu Ming and Skadi walked at the front.

One is responsible for breakthroughs, and the other is responsible for analysis.

The fanatic provided support from the flanks, her black-robed figure moving elusively like a ghost. Her mission was to eliminate any who slipped through the net and to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Ereshkigal, Francesca, and others followed behind, leading the police force and providing fire support and logistical support. Aozaki Touko also followed behind instead of Skadi, ensuring that there was at least one Rune Master in the rear.

"Let me reiterate the previous battle analysis notes, Lu Ming. Do you remember? Based on my analysis of the ley lines..."

During the journey, Ai Lei's voice came through the contract communication, sounding like she was reviewing the minutes after a meeting.

"The key to breaking the deadlock is to deal with the enemies entrenched at the six leyline fulcrums. Those six fulcrums are the core of maintaining this 'wall'."

"If we remove or seize them all, these walls... well, they might not fall on their own, but at the very least, we should be able to regain the initiative."

Six fulcrums.

Lu Ming nodded, his expression softening slightly. The quantity was indeed less than he had expected.

"Who are those enemies at those strongholds? Do you have any other intelligence?" Lu Ming asked.

Before Ereshkigal could speak, the fanatic's voice rang out.

"Teacher, I've wanted to say this before, that kind of magical fluctuation... I'm very familiar with it."

The woman in the black robe spoke in a solemn tone.

"It's very similar to Jesta."

"I'm afraid... it's a vampire monster with an even higher bloodline."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.

An undead with a bloodline even higher than Jesta's... Just as I guessed, he's a bit troublesome.

On the other hand, it might be one of Odin's more senior subordinates. Furthermore, they are currently playing away from home, and their current strategy is a do-or-die approach, with no way out.

Therefore, we must fight with all our might and execute a perfect assassination! We must not give the enemy any chance to breathe!

"teacher!"

At that moment, the fanatic's voice rang out, "I would like to request permission to cooperate in combat, please grant me permission, teacher!"

Her tone was firm and devout. Because in her previous life, the fanatical young lady had witnessed similar calamities and had followed the army and the cult in their fight against those terrifying blood-sucking monsters.

Now that tragedy has struck again, she will never tolerate those disgusting human scoundrels who run rampant in the world and wreak havoc!

Lu Ming readily agreed upon hearing this.

"Perfect timing! Let's go out of the mountains together, master and disciple, and roam the martial world. Let those outside gangs learn what the true art of assassination is all about!"

That shout was loud and clear.

But apart from the fanatical young lady who took it all to heart, the rest of the people pretended not to hear.

Those who know, know; it's probably going to be another spectacular "frontal assassination."

A few minutes later.

Ahead, a new city wall appeared, its wood, stone, and metal composition different from the previous one. Predictably, the nature and composition of the runes on it had also abruptly changed.

It's easy to imagine that there will be more to come.

Skadi stared at the wall, her eyes darting around. An idea popped into her head.

If I were to suggest taking a detour... wouldn't that help me avoid standing out and thus avoid attracting the attention of fate?

After all, constantly breaking through walls like this is making too much noise. If this continues, she'll really solidify her position as the 'vanguard against fate'.

At this moment, the Ice and Snow Goddess seemed unwilling to give up.

In order to break free from the 'fate' bound to the end, she felt she could still struggle a little longer.

"How about we... take a detour?"

She cleared her throat and said, "Continuing to break through the wall like this will make too much noise and easily alert the enemy. Taking a detour will be more covert and more conducive to... assassination."

"No way." Lu Ming refused without even thinking.

We've already said we're going to burn our bridges and forge ahead without hesitation. How can we take a detour and weaken our momentum?

The saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but a second attempt will be less effective, and a third will be exhausting." If they continue to take detours, they might not even encounter the true enemy at the ley line before their energy and strength are completely depleted.

Moreover, and most importantly!

The way of assassination is to forge ahead fearlessly and never to be sneaky!

"Don't just stand there, come up and lend a hand."

Skadi sighed inwardly upon hearing this. Resigned, she stepped forward and began to use her Primal Runes to sense the runes on the wall.

"The runic structure of this wall seems completely different, but it's actually quite similar to the previous one. You need to pay attention here..."

Skadi explained quickly, "The weak point is in the lower left third, where the runes are arranged rather loosely... Also, pay attention to the rune array on the right; that's the switch to trigger the trap..."

"understood."

A few seconds later, Lu Ming flexed his wrist, his knuckles cracking, and then exerted force again.

Bang! Another punch, a burst of inch-force, the power layered upon layer, shattered the entire wall and turned it into dust!

Furthermore, because Lu Ming deepened his understanding of the city wall structure through Skadi's knowledge, he avoided the trap switches, and this time no monsters emerged.

In fact, with each breach of the wall, and with the help of the 'Rune' personality, his understanding of the wall's material and the runes became increasingly profound.

Lu Ming suddenly began to look forward to... whether there would be a day when no prior analysis would be needed.

With just a glance, one can discover the structure and weak points of things, and then, without any preparation, shatter them completely with a single blow.

It seems that the character Daiya from "Dragon Boys II" used this kind of power?

However, given the current pace of progress, that future seems rather distant. The ability to quickly destroy a wall without triggering a runic counterattack relies on an understanding of it; destroying other things obviously requires a similar level of understanding.

...How long will it take to analyze this?

......

Let's go back to a short time ago.

A ley line point in Xueyuan City.

Bai Yigong stood alone at the very center of the fulcrum. As the presiding officer of this ceremony, he should have been the busiest one. But now he was bored out of his mind.

There was nothing he could do; the other ancestors had all gone to their respective bastions. The beginning of the ceremony he was in charge of proceeded smoothly without any incident.

Bai Yigong looked around listlessly.

This went too smoothly!

He had initially thought something unexpected might happen.

Last time in Paris, France, I planned the same ceremony, and even had the Serpent of Akasha and the White Princess present, but it failed because of a strange intruder.

But this time, no problems arose.
