Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 66 He... is not Odin! (4k)

The white light vanished suddenly, along with the terrifying, tower-like figure that had been hidden beneath it.

Him.

They left without a sound, just as they arrived without a sound.

It was as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

The air seemed to quiet down for a moment.

The veins on Chu Zihang's forehead were still throbbing, his legs, which were about to leap high, froze in place, and the tip of the Murasame sword in his hand, which was poised to devour someone, trembled, suddenly losing its direction of attack.

"Go...go?"

Chu Zihang's expression was somewhat stiff, as if his surging emotions had suddenly lost their outlet and could only flow back and forth between the blood vessels in his body.

He was usually someone who rarely showed his emotions on his face, but what he was seeing was truly...

Unbelievable!
Lu Mingfei was also quite surprised by Odin's back-and-forth maneuver.

He even saw the exclamation mark above Odin's head!
Before it could be fully activated, it disappeared back into the light, as if it had braved the heavy rain just to catch a glimpse of them! And then left, satisfied!

"What exactly is this thing... Could it be that there really are gods in this world?" Lu Mingfei muttered.

Name: Odin

Age: N/A

【Combat strength: 2600】

[Favorability...]

[Loss of vision, intelligence gathering interrupted].

The text on the information panel in front of him disappeared line by line. In the blink of an eye, he still managed to glimpse some information about this being who was somewhere between a god and a demon.

Combat power of 2600... Lu Mingfei couldn't even imagine such a realm, and the age of N/A was something that had only appeared on the little devils before. Perhaps they had already broken free from the limitations of lifespan?

"That's outrageous. If it were someone with my combat power, I'd be able to walk sideways in no time."

All I can say is that running away is a good thing.

Otherwise, I really don't know how to fight this kind of monster.

The rain continued to fall.

The white light and the enormous human figure beneath it were gone forever.

The surroundings were empty and quiet, with only the sound of rain and silence filling the world.

Is tonight... over already?

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and gently patted Chu Zihang's shoulder, who was standing there in a daze.

"Senior brother is alright... I understand you."

Chu Zihang turned his head with a slight tremor and saw the sincerity in Lu Mingfei's eyes, his pupils contracting.

Lu Mingfei nodded seriously.

When he activated the [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission] earlier, he extracted two pieces of intelligence in succession.

One of them is the story of Chu Zihang.

He finally learned what had happened to Chu Zihang when he was fourteen.

Back then, Chu Zihang and his father encountered Odin, the chief god of the Aesir in Norse mythology, on a viaduct in Binhai, or rather, in the Nibelungen. He escaped, but at the cost of his father disappearing without a trace.

From then on, Chu Zihang embarked on a journey to pursue Odin.

But Odin... whatever his real name may be, remains hidden in another dimension beyond this world.

Just like where they are now—

Nibelungen!

So... Lu Mingfei decisively used up his [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission] again and chose Nibelungen-related knowledge.

This is the true kingdom of the dragons, existing in an abnormal dimension. It is a self-contained territory built with alchemy, corresponding to 'Space Creation' among the seven kingdoms of alchemy!
There is one entrance/exit!

And now, just like the overpass five years ago, they are in Odin's Nibelungen!

It's like being completely isolated from the real world!

“Senior brother… Odin, he should be a dragon king, right?” Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

Chu Zihang paused for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. Myth says that Odin is the mortal enemy of the black dragon Nidhogg. He is righteous, although in real history, there shouldn't be a person named Odin."

Justice... my foot! Lu Mingfei sighed.

Judging from the way the Chen family head behaved, this thing is anything but righteous!
What happened today is enough to prove that the Chen family... especially the head of the Chen family, must have a connection with Odin.

Very well, another reason to destroy the Chen family has been added.

His senior brother's business is Lu Mingfei's business, and he will not shirk his responsibility!

We need to figure out what's going on with this guy!
"time to go."

Chu Zihang regained his composure and spoke again.

"The rain hasn't stopped yet. We need to find the exit and drive."

……

The Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove out of the garage.

Chu Zihang was driving. The car was an extended version, and there was no feeling of crowding for six people.

That Maybach Zeppelin was abandoned in the garage; I really didn't dare drive it.

The rain continued to fall. Before the Aspasia restaurant was destroyed by 'Junyan', the white-clad waiters had long since disappeared, and the world felt empty, as if only the six of them remained.

The fleeting white light that had just passed by was not only noticed by Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei.

Everyone saw it.

The scene of the King of Gods arriving riding a celestial steed.

Su Jiannan's old face was as pale and sallow as a sculpture. Even though he had a certain capacity to endure, as an ordinary person, suddenly encountering one of the world's greatest secrets had left his worldview on the verge of collapse. When he returned, he would inevitably need a round of 'psychological counseling'.

The Chen brothers were also ashen-faced.

They've already figured it out: there's something wrong with the head of the family, there's something wrong with this restaurant, there's something wrong with everything tonight, and they're just offerings on the altar, and incidentally at that!
"Chen... Nuonuo, what's wrong?"

Lu Mingfei noticed her unusual behavior.

“That guy just now… I feel like I should have seen him before, but I have no memory of it.”

Nono murmured absentmindedly, as if she were saying it unconsciously.

She was once again passively drawn into a state of profiling, and the so-called 'feeling' actually came from the tall figure on horseback. In just a second or two, she realized from Odin's subtle expressions, movements, and even the arc of a certain pull on the reins that He... should recognize her, although He only had Chu Zihang in His eyes.

"Another case of amnesia?"

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow, suddenly recalling that when they were at the Regent Hotel, she mentioned that her memories or cognition might be disordered or incomplete.

"maybe."

Nono snapped out of her daze and forced a smile.

"Well, I just remembered something."

Lu Mingfei considered for a moment and said, "I have a friend who can create things that enhance memories, probably alchemical artifacts. Theoretically, they are permanent memories that cannot be erased by any means..."

As she listened to Lu Mingfei's account, Nuonuo grew increasingly silent.

for a long time,

She asked softly, "What materials do you need?"

“The Philosopher’s Stone, or recycled metals, and money… you know how tough it is for alchemists,” Lu Mingfei said.

"...I can think of a way to get recycled metals and money."

"What about the Philosopher's Stone?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

Nono's lips twitched, then she shook her head.

"It's impossible to get it. The Philosopher's Stone is the fifth element besides earth, water, wind, and fire. It's a pure spiritual element and very precious. Only one person in history has ever refined it."

"Who?"

“Nicholas Flamel.” ...

"Holy crap, where the hell am I now?!"

Old Tang rushed down the mountain in one breath, only to find that what was in front of him was not the restaurant under the rain at all.

Instead, it's a quiet, empty viaduct!
Those Deadpools have also disappeared; they've all vanished without a trace.

Zhou Minhao followed closely behind.

His expression was equally strange as he hesitated and said, "Could it still be a nested barrier?"

"What the hell is this?"

Old Tang was about to collapse. He felt like he had become illiterate today, and he couldn't understand a single term Zhou Minhao used!

"This is a bit difficult to explain."

Zhou Minhao hesitated and said, "You can think of it as a barrier containing a door constructed by the power of words. The creator of the barrier can guide the people inside to a new barrier through 'triggering'. In our Zhou family, this is called 'shifting stars'."

"Is this really necessary?" Old Tang exclaimed in surprise.

“Well… different barriers always have different functions, different rules, and different characteristics. New barriers require new preparations.” Zhou Minhao chuckled dryly.

Hearing this, Old Tang couldn't laugh.

The more prepared the enemy is, the higher the level of danger will be!

"Then what do we do now?"

Old Tang took a deep breath and decided to ask this knowledgeable fellow.

“Since it’s a highway… then we can only follow this road down, that’s the rule of the barrier.”

Zhou Minhao paused for a moment before speaking.

"Or, could you perform what you just did again?"

……

The moment the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove off Lake Garden Road, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

Willow branches, road signs, asphalt road—this is…

"viaduct!"

"viaduct!"

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang felt a sudden tightness in their hearts almost simultaneously.

It's not over yet!
As a self-contained territory built with alchemy, Nibelungen has rules completely different from the normal world!

What you thought was an exit was actually another entrance!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

A soft, ghostly knocking sound rang out from outside the car door at just the right moment.

"Who's out there?"

Nono subconsciously turned her head and leaned closer to the window.

"Sit back down!" Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei shouted in unison.

After noticing the rapidly changing scenery around them, and with the speedometer climbing to over 120 km/h, who could possibly chase after this speeding car and knock on the door?
The shadowy figure from my memory caught up.

Nothing has changed.

Just like that night five years ago.

Chu Zihang's face tightened, his eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and steam visibly rose from the top of his head, like red-hot iron being immersed in ice water.

So, it really is time to fight!

however.

This time, the shadows didn't brandish their claws like they did back then, leaving sharp marks on the car's surface. Instead, they silently followed like a group of backup dancers.

They are the spirits of Odin!

Like a ferryman on the river of the dead, they come to guide new heroic spirits to the Pantheon at the end!

"Junior brother, listen to me."

Chu Zihang gripped the steering wheel tightly, took a deep breath, and felt the dragon blood surging throughout his body.

"If things get really bad, I'll tell you to run. You have to run. Don't hesitate, and don't even think about looking back. Remember, listen to my signal."

"This time is different, I really can't take good care of you."

"No! I won't leave you alone!" Lu Mingfei said without hesitation.

"This is my business, it's none of your concern!" Chu Zihang retorted angrily.

"Don't say things like 'give up'!"

Lu Mingfei rubbed his cheeks hard, as if a fire had been ignited in his heart.

"We...must fight side by side! A real man stands up for his brother in crucial moments!"

"Otherwise, I would spend the rest of my life filled with guilt, regretting that rainy night when I didn't have the courage to wield swords against the gods with my senior brother..."

"What if, by some chance, I'm just a tiny bit of my strength that's needed?" Lu Mingfei's voice was resolute, showing no intention of backing down.

Yes, Odin is very powerful, his combat strength is equivalent to two and a half Tang brothers!
But so what!
He has indeed experienced the beauty of life...

But there are always some things that come above all else.

Instead of making bottomless concessions for the sake of a false sense of beauty!
Perhaps Lu Mingfei would have shrank back and agreed in the past, but now he must stand up and do something that he will never regret for the rest of his life!
Back then, my senior brother hadn't grown up... but now, I have!
This is……

A man's responsibility!
Chu Zihang fell silent.

For the first time in history, a tear welled up in the corner of his sword-like eye.

original……

You truly understand me.

That's good, I won't be alone anymore... and neither will you.

‘Boom——’

A thunderclap seemed to strike from the sky.

A bright white light appeared at the end of the road, giving a warm feeling, like a night traveler seeing an oil lamp under the eaves of an inn in the fog, which makes him quicken his pace.

A towering, two-story-high horse stood in the white light, with a huge black shadow sitting on its back.

Odin!

He returned, bringing with him the spirits of his fallen comrades!
The car suddenly slowed down, the brake pads screeching loudly.

The rain reached its peak at this moment.

Chu Zihang's aura was the same; a high-pitched low groan erupted from deep within his throat, a war song that seemed to come from ancient times!
Fine scales sprouted from under his skin like buds, covering his neck and face. His hands had even changed shape, with protruding bones forming a strong shackle, gripping Murasame tightly, sharp claws covering his nails.

The bloodbath begins a second time.

His combat power instantly soared from 133 to 433! Adrenaline surged, suppressing all pain and fear.

A sudden burst of blood was never Chu Zihang's trump card!
A warrior's heart will ultimately drive the dragon's blood to its peak!
"Get out of the car." Chu Zihang pushed open the car door.

In the midst of the storm,
There was no way to retreat. A group of dark figures emerged from behind Odin, like a group of priests about to celebrate Mass. They surrounded him from all sides, all dressed in identical black clothes, with identical pale faces and identical empty eyes that shone with golden light.

It was as if all the preparations were for this grand sacrificial ceremony.

but……

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lu Mingfei suddenly laughed, a hearty laugh, a carefree laugh, a laugh of relief!

The scene before me, combined with everything that has happened tonight.

A normal person would naturally assume that Odin chose to gather his forces before launching an attack.

But in Lu Mingfei's view,

There wasn't an exclamation mark on Odin's head at all! He was no different from the other Deadpools around him!
he……

Odin is not invincible!

He's just a Deadpool in God's skin!
