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

Time Zero is practically a top-tier assassin skill, and Odin himself has a full complement of warrior and mage templates, with no significant weaknesses. If he's determined to escape, Odin really can't stop him.

Thinking about this, Lu Ming's blood pressure rose a little.

This is a loss!

Although the battle resulted in a soul transformation and enhanced bloodline, leading to a massive increase in strength, it also destroyed one of Odin's most prestigious bases, disrupting the enemy's meticulously planned strategy.

but--

During this period, he suffered tremendous pain, both physically and spiritually, and even almost lost control of his bloodline, which was unprecedented!

Lu Ming scratched the back of his head.

Hmm, it seems the frenzied blood has calmed down, and the out-of-control progress seems to have stopped.

Even minor injuries seem to heal in less than two minutes.

The pain in my soul seems to have disappeared without me even realizing it.

"...Even so, it's not enough. Odin's surprise attack dealt me ​​a severe blow to my mental state—my mood was just absolutely terrible!"

"And His airstrike on the hospital headquarters, we don't know what casualties and losses it caused... We must recoup the costs!"

Lu Ming muttered to himself as he began searching for spoils on the shattered and devastated battlefield.

He first flipped his hand and took out a dark red fragment.

This is a branch of the World Tree, a fragment of the Spear of Eternity.

In addition, he also collected various fragments of Odin's armor at the scene.

I wonder if melting down and recasting these things could create a new suit of armor for his doll to wear.

This significantly increases protection and durability, saving the need for downtime and maintenance after each battle.

Finally, Lu Ming looked at the broken and shattered Hall of Heroes.

"In this way, we have obtained the most crucial location of the ley line node."

"Next, we should contact Ereshkigal to take over the city center. The ruins left by Odin should contain a lot of good stuff."

"If we were to reconstruct the base using materials, its inherent conditions and various properties would definitely be better than those ordinary hospitals..."

Lu Ming carefully counted all his gains, confirming that he had not returned empty-handed from the battle.

This calmed me down a bit.

When you fight, you absolutely cannot lose money!

Turning my head, I suddenly saw a beautiful figure in green standing not far away.

"Tiamat? You've arrived."

Tiamat looked around and, finding no other presence besides Lu Ming, said in a low voice, "I'm late."

Her voice was directed elsewhere, as if she were speaking to someone.

"what?"

Meeting Lu Ming's questioning gaze, Tiamat explained, "I have a covenant with me. With His."

"I know."

No, you don't know.

This time she didn't give a perfunctory answer, unlike when she faced Ereshkigal.

“Next, I am the enemy. I cannot break the alliance, so I must become your enemy.”

"This matter has been dragging on for too long; if it continues, the deadline will be approaching..."

Lu Ming remembered the blood oath contract set up in "Dragon Raja". This kind of treaty rooted in blood ties cannot be easily violated, otherwise one will inevitably suffer the consequences.

"..." Tiamat didn't continue. She was unwilling to act, but clearly, under Odin's repeated urging, her stalling tactic had reached its deadline. One of the terms of the contract stipulated that only the original body could intervene. Creating a monster wouldn't fool her.

Otherwise, Quetzalcoatl would have only sent a leopard-man and that would have been enough.

"..."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then walked over.

Under Tiamat's questioning gaze, he took her small hand and punched his chest.

"Alright, you've done your job."

"..."

Tiamat blinked blankly, then shook her head. "This won't work. The contract has no loopholes."

Besides, that's 'fate,' and few rule-based deities are most adept at manipulating these things.

She saw Lu Ming fall silent again, and remain silent for a long time.

Then I saw the illusory crown on his head again.

That is...

Beast, huh...?

Tiamat's pupils dilated.

She recalled the malfunctions in the hospital rituals, and how, in the accidental fire, some of the believers' children suffered mental breakdowns, mistakenly identifying the object of their faith as something negative.

That is the existence of the Antichrist, which is different in nature from the positive one. The Antichrist means that, like her fully revealed self, she is a beast of calamity that needs to be defeated.

In this situation, it would no longer be a minor skirmish, and the authorities would send targeted punitive expeditions.

Most likely, they are Grand Masters. Many mythological deities might choose to respond.

Is Lu Ming's fate going to be the same as mine...?

"We are all beasts, and one day we will be killed by the righteous Grand Order."

Tiamat murmured softly, her heart heavy with sorrow.

"Justice? Who has the right to claim absolute justice? Those who hold the title of Grand Master are merely recipients of a gift."

"One day, I will also complete the path to godhood and will not be inferior to them."

Lu Ming's tone was displeased.

Currently, in the setting of "Dragon Raja", only the Dragon King of the four elements and the White King should have the title of Grand Master. The title of Grand Master is the position of the Dragon King.

However, the setting of "The Dragon King 1" indicates that those who directly contaminate a human body with the blood of the Black King, creating hybrids of the Black King's bloodline, also possess the 'Grand Rank' and the potential to transform into dragons. He doesn't feel that after completing his path to godhood, he is inferior to those with the Grand Rank.

—This wave of cross-server virtual communication has started again.

“I’ve already contacted Ellie. We have some free time now, so don’t be sad. Come take a walk, and let’s think of a solution together.”

"Ah."

Tiamat hung her head.

"Are the consequences of breaking the contract severe?"

"Ah."

What would that cause?

"...The enormous dragon body I nurtured will instinctively destroy everything."

Tiamat said.

Her situation is that if she breaks the contract, she will forget 'love' and only have 'evil' left. Tiamat will bless all the children, but she also hates when the children abandon her.

If 'human love' is destroyed by the contract, 'human evil' will cause her bestial instincts to overwhelm everything, her spiritual base to expand, and create a global catastrophe.

"It's actually an adult?"

Lu Ming was surprised. In the setting of "Dragon Raja", the growth stages of dragons are divided into juveniles, which are humanoids, followed by sub-adults, adults, and super-evolved forms.

The reason why the dragon kings are portrayed as weak in the original work is mostly because they are only in their juvenile (human) state, and even the largest Fenrir is only a sub-adult.

This is why Lu Ming remains vigilant and never underestimates the combat power of a Dragon King.

Those adult and super-evolved dragons are said to have destructive power no different from that of mythical legends!

"Ah."

Tiamat nodded; she was indeed an adult beast, there was nothing more to say.

In comparison, Lu Ming's situation probably doesn't even qualify as an larva.

The two fell silent again.

After all, the contract of fate is not easy to fool, so it's normal that there's nothing that can be done. Tiamat is not disappointed.

At worst, I can use the highest level of "self-sealing" when I fight.

One minute.

Two minutes.

ten minutes.

"I've got it."

Lu Ming suddenly said.

"what?"

Tiamat was surprised.

Is there even a loophole in fate that one can exploit?

P.S. *The Dragon King 1*

“Regiereev is the clone most like her; they are both direct descendants of the Black King, and in a sense, they are all daughters of the Black King. Mr. McCullen did not involve Regiereev in his mortal world not because he was unwilling, but because he could not. This seemingly ordinary girl may actually be their equal in rank.”

......

"Large? Sub-adult?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Your understanding of the Dragon King is very limited. You've been entangled with the Dragon King in its juvenile and sub-adult forms, so you rarely have the chance to see the adult form, let alone the super-evolved form."

Volume 1: Chapter 130 Gudako: Is the Absolute Demonic Front still chasing me?

"Indeed, I have a solution."

Lu Ming was conflicted as he thought about this.

His method still comes from the plot of "The Dragon King 1".

The plot mentions that Odin and Jormungandr, who is parasitic on Chu Zihang, signed a cooperation contract, also known as the 'blood pact'.

It's almost the same situation as with Tiamat and Odin.

However, even with the alliance signed, Jormungandr could not trust Odin, the one who devoured his own kind. By this time, He had already taken action, consuming Constantine and the White King, and He had not even intended to spare himself and Fenrir.

So she chose to bear the consequences of betrayal and fought Odin, but was defeated.

Even after his defeat, Jormungandr still refused to submit to Odin. Since he couldn't win a direct confrontation, wasn't he in a bind?

So, I came up with a solution.

What method is there?

— Replacement.

Let Chu Zihang take over.

When Jormungandr fought Chu Zihang in the Nibelungen metro station, it seemed like Chu Zihang was attacking her with a blood-splattering attack. In reality, she parasitized Chu Zihang's body by injecting her own 'egg' through blood.

This thing is to dragons what the phylactery is to liches; as long as they store their eggs properly, it doesn't matter if they die, they can be resurrected one day.

So, when Odin went to the subway station to try to devour the King of the Earth and the Mountains, he only found an empty shell without any power—Jormungandr had already shed his skin and parasitized Chu Zihang.

This leads to the following situation:

The entity that signed the covenant, Jormungandr, to be precise, is the Jormungandr that is parasitizing Chu Zihang's body.

Chu Zihang himself was outside the scope of this alliance.

She, Jormungandr, signed the covenant. What does that have to do with Chu Zihang?

He stepped in to fight Odin, and although both used the same body, Jormungandr would not suffer any greater consequences.

"...Therefore, if you want to break the alliance."
