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

"No! Does the one who performs great miracles and wonders necessarily become the true Holy Son?"

“The Gospel of Matthew says, ‘Many people are coming in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they are trying to deceive many people.”

“The Book of Revelation says, ‘He also did great wonders, even that he caused fire to fall from heaven onto the earth in the sight of men. By the authority given to him to do wonders in the sight of the beasts, he deceived those who dwell on the earth.’”

Those around them stood firm amidst the vast sea of ​​fire, shouting excitedly.

"Therefore! We have been deceived. Satan will disguise himself as an angel of light, and the devil will disguise himself as a false Jesus, using the name of Christ to perform false miracles and presumptuously claiming to be the Savior!"

After he finished speaking, the believers who had been wandering in the flames suddenly realized what was happening.

This is a well-known story recorded in the Bible. In the end times, there will not only be war and the final judgment, but also Satan releasing himself from prison to perform miracles in the wilderness, falsely claiming to be the savior and deceiving the nations of the earth!

So......

Who is it that has been imprisoned for so long and will surely be released?

Who is it that claims to be the savior in the wilderness?

Who has deceived the nations of the four corners of the earth?

Lu Ming's image appeared in everyone's hearts without prior agreement.

But soon the believers split into two opposing factions, tearing each other apart over the question of whether the Son of God was real or not.

"What are these?"

Skadi frowned, releasing a chilling aura as she approached, freezing the flames with a great deal of frost.

In such situations, the Ice Queen is as busy as a spinning top.

"This isn't the first batch! As believers participating in the ceremony, we must protect them strictly... but their spiritual inclinations have become somewhat..."

Ai Lei clenched her fists, quite displeased. Lu Ming's contributions to everyone were evident, but now there were these people spreading baseless, unsettling rumors, and not just one or two...

"This is not a simple mental disturbance; their mental abnormalities are a recurrence of the symptoms of contamination! Odin's attack here triggered a series of unexpected events, and we cannot simply blame them for it."

Dressed in a pure black church robe, Hier moved freely through the sea of ​​fire, his expression solemn and dignified.

"Bring them all to me and isolate them with a barrier."

She didn't care about the believers arguing about Christ or Antichrist. Because Lu Ming didn't belong to either side.

If this were to become a real issue, her entire church would have to treat this Lord Lu Ming like a god, which would be incredibly awkward...

“It’s possible, but please record the magic circle used in the ritual,” Ellie said worriedly.

"Can't that ceremony be stopped?"

Hier asked. "These believers have different beliefs, why use this conflicting spiritual inclination?"

As soon as she said it, she realized she had asked a stupid question.

Lu Ming is on the front lines, and his support cannot be interrupted, even if such an accident occurs.

If we continue to use these believers, the conflicting spirits that might cause some kind of power-related anomaly on Lu Ming's side are still much better than stopping the ritual and causing Lu Ming to suffer defeat and death on the front lines.

The relative costs and consequences are readily apparent.

After working for a while and finishing up, Ai Lei sighed. She couldn't contact Lu Ming anymore and wondered what was going on over there.

Hier thought she was worried about the people at the hospital, and comforted her.

"You should think of it this way: they are already lucky enough that they are merely mentally unstable and have distorted beliefs!"

In the church's monastery, Hier saw many lowly agents suffering from the corruption of the ancestors. They were tormented by some mental distress, but their bodies were perfectly fine, which was the lowest level of suffering.

"This also shows that they can stick to their bottom line and endure the monstrous frenzy brought about by the poisonous blood. Even if there is a conflict of faith, the object of their faith has not shifted, which is the most commendable point."

"Those who are good to them, even if they have mental problems, they will always remember them."

"..."

Ai Lei listened absentmindedly.

She was still wondering if the ceremony would cause Lu Ming any trouble. She had tried her best, but perhaps she hadn't done it well enough—

Suddenly, she saw Tiamat wandering alone in the corner.

The melancholy in her expression was even more pronounced than in hers.

Volume 1: Chapter 129 We are all beasts, and one day we will be killed by the Grand Order of Justice.

"...Are you alright?"

Ellie cautiously stepped forward to greet her, always feeling a little hesitant to approach the Mother of the Gods.

Although this is a rather shameless way of putting it, Ai Lei just has this feeling—it's like a daughter-in-law meeting her parents.

"Because of those...unexpected events just now, we've all been quite busy and haven't had much time to look after you, Mother—"

Ai Lei spoke softly for quite a while.

However, Tiamat did not respond for a long time.

Tiamat spoke softly, just as Irene was wondering if she had been too presumptuous:

"Ah, I'm leaving now."

"what?"

When Ai Lei heard this, she was utterly astonished.

"Because of the covenant."

Tiamat's voice was low. "The covenant's terms cannot be broken."

"An alliance?"

Ai Lei frowned. She knew that even gods could enter into contracts, and if these contracts were broken, different forms of forced repercussions would follow, depending on the severity of the breach. And these repercussions were always carried out; there were no loopholes to exploit.

"That's it."

Tiamat nodded, offering no further explanation.

Presumably, Ereshkigal, as a god, also knew what this alliance pact meant.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

......

The Great Temple of Valhalla has begun to collapse.

On the cold and ruthless battlefield, the fierce fighting filled the air and stirred up an endless frenzy.

At this moment, the vast temple could not even accommodate a small patch of peaceful rubble from its gates.

The ravaged earth let out a mournful cry, with deep, bottomless rifts crisscrossing the landscape, and a strong, pungent smell of scorched earth permeating the surroundings, lingering for a long time.

The figures flashed and intertwined in mid-air, roaring and fighting fiercely. The abyss-like divine aura and the prison-like dragon might pressed against each other, and half of the sky was suddenly split in two. The rolling clouds on one side clashed and fought fiercely.

"Odin...!"

[Lu Ming...!]

Two figures roared each other's names in mid-air. The surging, colorless atmosphere swirled and intertwined around them, causing the rapidly erupting lightning and endless, trembling flames around them to tremble.

This mythical battle, once it lands on the ground, will instantly obliterate everything. If it lands on mountains, it can easily flatten them; if it lands on cities, it can dismantle them with a wave of its hand.

Whoosh—!

Enraged, Lu Ming swung his claws, slicing through the "line" that had appeared in his field of vision once more.

After enduring multiple attacks on its weak points, Odin's armor finally seemed unable to withstand the strain, and a large piece of the arm armor cracked, shattered, and dissipated.

Then, he threw another punch, followed immediately by a powerful kick, the transition was incredibly smooth and seamless, forcing Odin to retreat step by step.

The shockwave rolled and its aftershocks spread, causing the gates of Valhalla to tremble violently as it swept through the area.

In fact, Lu Ming's attacks were indeed flawless, with no openings. The transitional phase in martial arts, where "old power has dissipated and new power has not yet arisen," seemed to have no effect on him. All his punches and kicks rolled back and forth, never stopping.

Using the massive amount of magic power surging throughout his body, Lu Ming would adjust his posture with the recoil from each attack. He even noticed that the higher his dragonification level, the higher his energy output. He was becoming more and more like a dragon-shaped aerial fighter jet.

Therefore, there is no need to elaborate. Lu Ming's body is now showing more and more inhuman abnormalities. Steel-colored scales and spikes completely cover his hands and feet, and the gleaming arc of the blades is like divine armor.

Lu Ming realized that he was on the verge of losing control, and no matter what, he had to remain rational in the high-speed battle with the Dragon King.

He no longer unleashed his power recklessly and crudely, but instead tried to gather and concentrate it. He stared intently at Odin, his eyes so terrifying that they seemed to pierce through his mortal enemy.

Hatred, on the contrary, made Lu Ming more clear-headed.

Because this is reality, and it has been his norm for decades.

Only by maintaining this belief can he sweep away the chaos and become himself again.

Gradually, the frantic shrieking faded away, and the restless, filthy bloodline calmed down.

However, things did not calm down; instead, the fighting intensified.

The air continued to resound with thunderous explosions. Lu Ming's ferocious and dense offensive finally overwhelmed Odin step by step, knocking Him down from the heavens to the already damaged palace of the great god.

Lu Ming's furious fist slammed down, the surging force piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks. The massive amount of earth and rocks on the ground suddenly shone brightly, runes flashed, and countless city walls rose from the ground!

However, Lu Ming stepped up and suddenly stomped in mid-air, unleashing a surge of energy that shot backward, transforming himself into a powerful and sharp sonic boom arrow with a heavy force like Mount Tai pressing down!

Rumble!

The thick city walls crumbled one after another, the fierce force transmitted layer by layer, finally causing the main structure of Valhalla to tremble violently, and even the foundation of the building collapsed with a bang! The divine radiance emanating from outside the temple also dimmed considerably!

Odin's spirit core fluctuated, seemingly indicating his displeasure. A significant portion of the facilities at Valhalla were damaged in the aftermath of the recent battle and were unable to function fully.

The hasty response has led to another collapse, and a series of beneficial functions that could have been utilized have now been largely destroyed.

Originally, this part of the Great Temple of Valhalla was intended as part of the effort to completely suppress Lu Ming's expanding power.

First, Quetzalcoatl suppresses the opponent, then He bombards the opponent's rear base ritual field. Next, Valhalla activates its mass production mode, simultaneously buffing all Heroes to form "super troops".

If that's still not enough, you can call Tiamat to form a second card. Even if something unexpected happens to Quetzalcoatl, there's another card to cover it, providing double insurance. There shouldn't be any major problems—

【...】

But in reality, His teammates all seemed to be somewhat off. This led to a series of missteps in the plan, until now, even the temple itself is no longer of much use.

Strange, ever since Quetzalcoatl refused to make contact and Lu Ming launched a surprise attack on the army, He has been calling for Tiamat to come.

Why hasn't anything been done yet?

Could it be that they're planning to break the alliance?

Tiamat should know that she chose to break the alliance, and according to the contract, she would have to pay the price, the consequences of which would not be any better than if she had upheld the alliance.

It could even be said that the consequences would be a disaster that would give both sides a headache.

"Ping ping ping—"

His body spun around, his spear trailing an unpredictable trajectory, as he struggled to withstand Lu Minghao's overwhelming offensive. His opponent's incredibly powerful physique was surging with demonic energy and strength.

The sharp edge of the dragon claws and the charging stance resembled a roaring black dragon charging furiously.

Odin stared at the spreading black aura, and a desperate image flashed through his mind of a black dragon climbing upwards and biting off the roots of the World Tree at the end of the world.

Bang!

He suddenly saw that even though he had managed to block the other party's punches and kicks, Lu Ming still looked fierce and opened his mouth full of white teeth to bite!

The dragon's shadow seemed to spring to life from the black aura, baring its fangs at the World Tree weapon, the Eternal Spear, which the great god relied upon!

Click!

【call......!】

Looking at the Eternal Spear emitting a faint crackling sound in his hand, Odin's eyes widened instantly, wishing he could retreat immediately.

Just then, He sensed a belated presence lingering far away, and a guess formed in His mind.

I hope you still remember the consequences of breaking the contract.

Odin's deep voice left Lu Ming, who was relentlessly pursuing him, bewildered. But before he could react, an invisible wave swept across the entire world—

Lu Ming's pupils contracted; time was zero again!

He tried again, based on his previous experience, to sense and learn the special fluctuations. But when he tried to move again, the time stop suddenly disappeared.

The world order has returned to normal.

However, along with the disappearance of time, Odin himself also vanished.

"Did it run away again...?"
