A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 241 Stealing Fate, Grafting Fate

Most hybrid factions educate their new generation with things like slaying dragons, protecting society, and protecting humanity.

In short, the message is that dragons are the mortal enemies of humankind, and hybrids must fight dragons to protect the world; they are irreconcilable enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Therefore, any force that cooperates with dragons will be labeled a traitor by the major powers and will be ostracized by the entire hybrid society.

Such a traitor will be universally condemned wherever he goes.

In such an environment, there are always hybrids who, in order to realize their ambitions, cooperate with dragons, but they have to do it secretly and in secret.

But Nuwa is just that unruly. Regardless of where you are, she publicly declared: "The Old Church of Baoshan King!" This caused a huge uproar!

Angers' expression turned grim first, staring intently at Nuwa's neck. After a while, his gaze shifted and locked onto Xia Mi.

This relentless avenger's greatest hatred is for the Dragon King! In the Summer Mourning incident, it was a Dragon King who killed Angers' most cherished friend.

Angers' greatest desire was always to kill the Dragon King.

Beowulf's madmen declared unequivocally: "The Zhou family betrayed all hybrids and deserves a complete purge! Only then can we preserve the world we live in!"

Sigurd followed suit: "By the holy sword Balmunk of our ancestors, those who cooperate with dragons are also considered dragons! They no longer possess human rights!"

Okay, let's just expel them from the human race.

The mixed-blood races from various factions who had previously escaped by luck also expressed their stance, refusing to collude with the Zhou family!

The Bai family has always been the Zhou family's most steadfast ally.

This time, their strong support stemmed from their awareness of the Zhou family's significant change in strength. After extensive investigation, they finally uncovered a small part of the old church's secrets.

This made the Bai family eager to curry favor with the old church, which required the Zhou family's introduction, so they went to great lengths to support the Zhou family.

Now that the situation has suddenly developed like this, even Elder Bai is unsure whether this is Nuwa's personal idea or the collective will of the old church.

If it's the former, Elder Bai certainly doesn't want his family to fall into a trap; of course, if it's the latter, then the Bai family will resolutely support the old church.

Fortunately, Fingel and the others also knew that Mr. Error's mission was to invite the King of Earth and Mountains to join the church.

Back in the preparatory class in Kassel, Finger witnessed firsthand that Mr. Error and Shan Wang were very close, suggesting a close relationship.

In other words, the King of the Earth and Mountains is most likely a member of the Old Church, so he definitely needs to be protected!
How could we let other hybrids slaughter us?
Like Angers, Chu Zihang said nothing, but simply raised his weapon and pointed it at the Beowulf family's half-bloods as a gesture of his opinion.

Fingel, suppressing the mental exhaustion and headache from being spiritually drained, said, "Why all this...nonsense? We, the Old Church, are not afraid of you!"

Susie stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chu Zihang: "The Old Church is not afraid of any challenge."

Good, good, good. Under the cover of her suit, Xia Mi's smile grew brighter and brighter. It was a good thing she agreed to join the church. She didn't expect that this old church would be so loyal!

He only joined, he hasn't done anything yet, but after learning that she is the Dragon King, he is still willing to protect her. Not bad, really not bad!

Now it's time for her to retaliate, and she asks 'Lu Mingfei': "Leave me aside, who are you...!"

"The blood of kings must end with the sword!" At this moment, it was Lu Mingze, who was playing on Lu Mingfei's account, so of course he wouldn't let Xia Mi do her thing.

Xia Mi is absolutely forbidden from revealing her brother's current identity in the mixed-race society!
The arrogant Lu Mingze is such a hypocrite. He can expose Xia Mi's secrets in public, but he won't allow Xia Mi to expose his secrets in public as well.

Lu Mingze was even planning to help his brother slay the King of Earth and Mountain in front of everyone, thus making a name for himself! How could he let Xia Mi speak out of turn?
As soon as Xia Mi uttered the first word, Lu Mingfei stretched out his hands, his ten fingers spread, as if calling for the power and authority that belonged only to him.

There were no dragon commands, only smooth alchemical arrays, layer upon layer, solidifying from nothingness.

The elements of heaven and earth were spontaneously under its control. Broken swords and shattered blades scattered all over the ground spontaneously condensed and, after multiple alchemical processes in an instant, transformed into the two legendary longswords, Tenyu Habakiri and Futsu no Mitama.

One of the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy, Conceptual Armament!
Wielding two swords, Lu Mingfei moved with ghostly speed, slashing at Xia Mi at a speed far exceeding that of Angers Time Zero!
Damn it! You can't win an argument, so you resort to sneak attacks?!

Xia Mi quickly activated the Word of Power of her brother Norton's bloodline, Heaven and Earth as a Furnace, hoping to use the remnants of the enemy to forge a handy scythe weapon to fight against Lu Mingfei's twin swords.

In battles at this level, a single misstep can lead to a series of setbacks.

There was no time to forge the swords; just as the two swords were about to strike, 'Lu Mingfei' uttered two words: 'Cancel.'

The fire elements that had been summoning in response to Xia Mi's call immediately fell silent.

This is a battle between dragon kings; the blood of kings must end with the sword. They can forcibly command the elements and cancel each other's incantations, so incantations are completely useless in battles between dragon kings.

They can only rely on their own bodies, weapons, claws, and most importantly, alchemy!

Oh no! Xia Mi was terrified and could only watch helplessly as the two conceptual weapons got closer and closer to her head!
At that speed, she couldn't avoid it!

Will the power of words be canceled, and will the authority to apply 'stress' to conceptual weapons with both hands be used? Those hands will definitely be severed by the twin swords first!
Xia Mi, who prided herself on her cleverness, couldn't think of any solution in that instant.

I should have listened to Xu Lie. During a battle, I shouldn't have let my mind wander; I should have focused on facing my enemy...

Even at this point, Xia Mi's mind was still filled with these random thoughts, which made Xu Lie sigh softly, wondering what she was thinking about.

The shame of the first generation of the race is truly well-deserved!
During the Fenrir parasitic period, the dark history of Xia Mi unearthed from Fenrir's mouth was indeed not a lie; there really was a Dragon King who could be so incompetent.

A glint of ruthlessness and pleasure flashed in Lu Mingfei's eyes: "You will repay your usurpation with pain... Huh?"

The two conceptual weapons struck, but they didn't kill Xia Mi; instead, they killed Xu Lie, who had appeared there at some unknown time.

"!" Xia Mi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, only able to watch as Xu Lie was struck by the twin swords, her fury rising from her heart.

What's even more surprising is 'Lu Mingfei'!
Ame no Habakiri and Futsu no Mitama, his two most handy conceptual weapons, for some reason, did not strike Xu Lie, but instead reversed their force in an absurd way!

That conceptual weaponry defied common sense and betrayed us, launching a counterattack! It forcefully severed 'Lu Mingfei's' arm in two!

It was as if Xu Lie, who suddenly appeared, was struck by the sword, but rather 'Lu Mingfei', who deliberately swung his sword, was struck by the sword in a bizarre manner.

This is Xu Lie's pre-emptive ability to steal.

After the Spirit Realm descended and gained even greater control over the Source Castle, Xu Lie was able to easily steal and graft fate with the amplification provided by the Source Castle.

The fate of 'Lu Mingfei' remaining at his peak 0.1 seconds later is transferred to Xu Lie himself, and the future of Xu Lie being stabbed 0.1 seconds later is transferred to 'Lu Mingfei', thus completing the swap.

Simply put, it's an upgraded version of the Luck Thief's Charm.

Xu Lie was unharmed, while Lu Mingfei himself had to suffer damage from the two swords!
Lu Mingfei retreated incredibly, letting the blood from his severed arm spill out and his twin swords fall to the ground, as some kind of extraordinary cells rapidly healed his body.

With an absurdly powerful healing ability, it first promotes bone growth, reconnecting the broken arm bones, then quickly stops the bleeding from the wound, followed by the spread of granulation tissue, growing a new, intact arm.

Lu Mingfei wasn't affected by the pain; he wasn't that unlucky older brother. He just stared at Xu Lie in disbelief. What exactly was that thing just now?!

There were no elemental fluctuations, no trace of alchemical patterns, and even Lu Mingfei couldn't detect any trace of authority, yet the other party was able to reverse fate!

It seems that by manipulating fate, he reversed his offensive.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
How could there be someone who could reverse their fate without using elements or alchemy?
This completely shattered Lu Mingfei's entire understanding! How could such an ability exist in the world?!

Fingel, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Error, I thought you weren't planning to make a move. So you were waiting here all along. Did you expect him to come?"

Chu Zihang opened his mouth, looking at his junior brother Lu Mingfei's body, wanting to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and couldn't utter a single word.

Susie understood Chu Zihang's thoughts and spoke on his behalf: "Mr. Error, he is the one we talked about, um, the highest one."

The implication is that Mr. Error, Lu Mingfei, is the potion digestion accelerator they often mention, the one with the highest status.

If Mr. Error understood, even disregarding their feelings, he might... show mercy because Lu Mingfei usually helps speed up the digestion of the potion.
Nuwa was still weak, but she still gave the order: "Zhou family, all clansmen, listen to the instructions of Mr. Wrong, cough cough, and act accordingly."

"???" The words of the members of the old church caused Xia Mi, who was just furious about Xu Lie being stabbed, to have her brain freeze instantly.

Xu Lie? Mr. Error?
Wait, what's going on?

No, isn't Xu Lie a newcomer to the church, just like her?
How come he has such a cool code name, just like the higher-ups in the church?
Xia Mi, the Dragon King who claimed to possess extraordinary wisdom, suddenly found his mind unable to function and began to emit faint smoke.

Although Lu Mingfei couldn't understand the implied meaning in Fingel and Susie's words, he clearly confirmed one thing!

The Old Church, a mysterious organization he had initially dismissed, now poses a tremendous threat and is shrouded in mystery!

Lu Mingze misjudged! He will soon pay the price for his carelessness!
