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

"Hahahahaha!"

Quetzal, who had been watching for a long time, finally laughed out loud. "Humans are so interesting. I'm increasingly tempted to capture you all and have you wrestled with me."

The blonde woman walked forward, laughing as she exuded a terrifying aura.

"If a god drags you into wrestling, how can you survive?!" Luvia couldn't help but complain. She looked at Hippolyta, "Are you sure this is a benevolent god?"

"Yes......"

"Fine, since we can't all escape, let's send out the one with the best chance of survival."

After Luvia finished speaking, she looked at the others behind her and asked, "What do you all think?"

Everyone said they had no objections.

"Do you mean...?"

Hippolyta had a vague feeling that something was wrong. She hadn't heard the group discussing the candidates, but everyone except her had tacitly agreed to it.

"—In the name of the Command Spell, Rider!" Luvia revealed the dark pattern on the back of her hand.

The Command Seals of the Holy Grail War can forcibly control Servants to teleport.

“Wait, Luvia, Amazons have never had a warrior who abandons his comrades and runs away alone!” Hippolyta’s face quickly showed anger.

Having come this far, how could she not know that she was the only one destined to escape?

"I'm sorry!" Luvia said without pausing, "Please move to the safest area furthest from here!"

Whoosh. Hippolyta vanished.

Please, you must find that man and bring back reinforcements to save us!

......

Lu Ming looked at the suddenly appearing figure with a wary expression.

A stunningly beautiful young woman, with skin as smooth as jade and a graceful figure, wore a pure-colored celestial robe, more delicate than silk, that accentuated the curves of her chest and hips. Her black hair flowed freely, and her eyes shone like bright stars. But what was most striking was...

Two horns growing from its head.

"These are the survivors you found!?"

I could tell at a glance that it wasn't human!

The policeman next to him wiped his sweat. "Uh, no, the survivor we want to report is someone else."

"And this one seems to be a sudden intruder, although there are indeed two survivors following her... Based on this, we judge that she does not appear to be hostile."

Lu Ming frowned, "What kind of nonsense is this..."

As they spoke, the girl remained silent, staring intently at Lu Ming.

Volume 1: Chapter 106 You shameful bastard!

"Hello......?"

Lu Ming tilted his head and greeted him.

Since the other party didn't seem very human, and he wasn't sure if there would be a conflict, he sent the others away before greeting them, telling them to go ahead and find the real human survivors, leaving him to deal with the situation alone.

“Aaaa......”

The girl tilted her head in unison, perfectly synchronized.

"Are you OK? Sawasdee ka? Empty shovel? Bonjour? Ciao? Hi?......"

Lu Ming felt that the other party came from a relatively remote place and might not understand the language, so he did his best to translate it into multiple languages.

"what?"

The girl was confused; the human language corpus seemed so rich! It took her a while before her lips began to move and her teeth to open and close. Finally, like a babbling babbler, she began to speak normally, imitating human sounds:

"Hello, I'm your mom."

So you can talk?!

Sigma and Ayaka Sajou, who had been guessing all along, must be feeling seriously deceived and treated differently right now.

I spent half a day following around, but it wasn't as effective as a single greeting from someone. I was furious.

Lu Ming paused for a moment, then replied, "Hello, I'm Xia Ya."

"Char...?"

"Just kidding, forget about this embarrassing guy."

"Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Lu Ming. Young mother, where are you from, and what brings you here?"

Lu Ming glanced again at the long horns on the girl's head and began to wonder where this dragon, which had just awakened and was not yet adapted to this modern world, came from... Otherwise, it wouldn't have had to learn the language of this time on its own.

I'm guessing she's in the "pregnancy brain" phase, the time when she's giving birth to a baby dragon.

“I, Tiamat, come from the sea. Some people suggested forming an alliance to keep an eye on someone. So I came.”

After saying that, the girl stared straight at Lu Ming again.

—So watching someone actually means staring at them in a physical sense?!

Lu Ming's breath hitched. He sensed a kind of silly, Fenrir-like beauty in Tiamat, who was so innocent and naive.

"The meaning of an alliance...?"

"It was proposed by one of my kind who was on horseback, and another of his kind in the west also responded. The content of the alliance is to keep an eye on you and prevent you from doing bad things, child."

Timayate opened and closed his small mouth, as if pouring out beans, revealing all sorts of relevant information, including the arrangements of Odin and his allies, without any attempt to conceal anything.

Or perhaps she simply didn't think these things were important. After all, Odin hadn't instructed her not to leak information about the alliance. If he didn't say anything, then she wasn't violating the principles of the alliance.

Lu Ming fell silent. If he guessed correctly, this seemed to reveal a different kind of crucial information—that Odin had updated his own lockdown configuration.

The bad news is that Odin invited at least two dragon kings to come and help him.

The good news is that Odin seems unable to direct the specific actions of His people.

Just like this girl, this indirectly proves that she is not interested in Odin's plans at all.

He didn't recognize the Dragon King from the sea... Was he the King of the Sea and Water, who didn't appear in the original story?

Lu Ming couldn't help but ask, "What if I didn't do anything wrong?"

Do you still want to be my enemy?

“You didn’t do anything bad, you’re a good child, and good children are adorable.” Tiamat smiled sweetly.

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, then secretly clenched his fist, tensing his body. "What if I do something bad?"

Then come and hit me.

However, it seems that Lu Ming was nervous for nothing.

"Eh?... It's okay. Even if you do something bad, Mom can forgive you. No matter what kind of child you are, they are all adorable." Tiamat's tone was relaxed, overflowing with affection.

Lu Ming loosened his fist. That was close; he almost coaxed her into turning him into an embryo.

You dragon, don't be so maternal! You're so mean!

"Besides, you smell a lot like me, so I think we should be even more understanding..."

These words would surely move Odin (the Fates) deeply.

Unexpectedly, this ally was willing to take risks in order to uphold the Three Goddesses Alliance. While others were working hard to build up their power and influence, she chose to go alone into the enemy camp, leak intelligence, and try to turn hostility into friendship.

What a magnificent spirit of betrayal!

Lu Ming was startled, and the sense of déjà vu that had been lingering in his mind grew stronger and stronger.

It was as if she wasn't facing dragons as enemies, but rather as if she truly regarded herself as a kind and loving mother, and the humans before her as her close and adorable cubs.

Lu Ming suddenly remembered that sometimes, dragons are not necessarily as deeply involved in human society and cunning as Odin.

There are also those who, without any pretense or clear hostility, gaze at tiny humans with innocent eyes, playing with them under the guise of childcare, as if this can alleviate their deep loneliness.

This is not some vague lament of bloodshed, but a cold and cruel reality.

Because dragons are immortal beings, they live for so long that they can traverse timelines and live until the end of time.

Over such a long period of time, sand turns to ash, stubborn rocks crumble, countless short-lived species die of old age, and all things eventually pass away, leaving only one's own eternal solitude.

Therefore, Constantine never wanted to invade Kassel College; he just wanted to find his brother Norton.

Then we returned with him to that bronze residence in Baidi City, back to the golden years when I poured tea for my brother, lit lamps, wrote calligraphy, and chatted with him. The sun was shining brightly then, and spring was in full bloom.

So Fenrir kept watching the movie "God of Gamblers" on TV, even when he discovered the visitor who had mistakenly entered the Nibelungen.

They would happily use bottle caps as chips to invite them to play cards, or squeeze out half a space to invite them to watch TV together. If they had fun, they would make friends, and if the relationship was right, they would probably be willing to share their favorite cucumber-flavored potato chips.

Lu Ming asked, "Are you lonely?"

Tiamat was stunned for the first time. "Huh, loneliness? Does it mean being alone? ...Yes, Mom was abandoned by those children a long time ago, and now she's all alone."

In a sense, this is indeed the case. Tiamat was abandoned by the Mesopotamian gods long ago and exiled to a void imaginary space.

However, imaginary space does not have a clear linear time dimension like in reality; otherwise, Tiamat would probably be unparalleled in the world when it comes to accumulating time alone.

Although Tiamat is not currently observing the child but has an ulterior motive, she may simply not intend to pay attention to anyone other than Lu Ming for the time being.

"I see..."

Lu Ming went through the various settings and psychological analyses of characters like Constantine and Fenrir in his mind again and again, and thought to himself that it was indeed so. Finally, he confidently decided on a highly feasible strategy for getting along with her. He took two steps closer and hugged the girl.

"From now on, you will no longer be alone."

"Mother."

Volume 1: Chapter 107 Mother! I was here first!

Although the reasoning presented is correct, approaching it from the perspective of the sorrow of blood is not wrong.

However, Lu Ming felt he could achieve this.

He himself made a great decision and used an amazing will.

I am, after all, still human, and I can't really treat dragons as my mother.

Since he is human, he will eventually belong to human society. Even if he eventually succeeds in becoming a god and evolves into a pure-blooded dragon, Lu Ming believes that as long as his self-awareness remains unchanged and his will as a human is unwavering, he can still consider himself human.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that those who can embark on the path of becoming gods must maintain their own spirit and will, and not be swayed by the genes of dragons.

But then again, rules are rules, but people are flexible...

The cultivation path that Lu Ming himself is about to embark on is one thing.

But the harsh reality that he and his small group... oh no, the main force, faced was another matter entirely.

As things stand, Lu Ming and his team face countless enemies, so powerful that it's suffocating them. They can't even stay put in a safe corner. The hospital they've finally managed to set up is constantly under threat of being invaded again.

If you think about it carefully, even if you exclude the invasion in the eastern part of the city, there's still the situation in the western part of the city, and who knows what big problems await them at the remaining two ley lines.

Alas, this is the helplessness of two fists being no match for four hands!

All of this is the fault of the wicked Odin!

Faced with this perilous situation, Lu Ming was forced to choose a strategy of winning over one faction while attacking the other.

So what's wrong with sacrificing yourself, selling your looks, and taking extremely high risks to get close to a dragon and call her "Mom"?

It's important to understand that risks always exist. Even those simple and honest dragons have tempers. Just like Constantine has an untouchable taboo called his brother, Fenrir also has an untouchable taboo called his sister (or younger sister).

Lu Ming was unaware of Tiamat's past experiences, nor was he a powerful figure in the Wood Domain. He simply knew a little more about the Dragon Clan's story than others.

Faced with dragons they didn't recognize at all, they could only endure immense mental pressure and rely on guesswork and conjecture to try, experiment, and explore...

Go and embrace a mysterious dragon girl with stunning looks, a graceful figure, and a maternal glow, but whom you are completely unfamiliar with.

Alas! He has sacrificed too much to save more people, to protect his comrades and the people who followed him!

Thinking of this, Lu Ming couldn't help but exert a little force.

This caused the way he was holding Tiamat to appear a little tighter.

"call......"

Tiamat, smelling the suddenly closer scent, even her star-like eyes trembled.

Because of the strong and pervasive aura of dragon blood and divinity, she was stunned and did not stop it for a moment.

Thus, Tiamat received her first hug in countless long years.
