"Without fusing with the dragon bones, he was the king of hybrids, his strength was probably invincible among the first generation of hybrids. With fusing with the dragon bones..."

"He can rival the true first-generation species."

Su Enxi and Jiu Demai looked at each other, gasped, and their teeth ached from the cold.

"Could the true meaning of gaining power be to have a forbidden love with a dragon that transcends species?" Mai Shude covered her forehead, looking unable to accept it.

"So, Jormungandr has completely disappeared?" Su Enxi asked on her phone.

After a while, the boss replied.

"She appears to have not formed an egg and is theoretically dead, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out, such as... a mental egg."

What is a mental embryo?

"What makes dragons immortal is never their bodies, but their spirits. The true meaning of forming eggs is to prepare an environment for the spirit to be reborn, but what is the key to the rebirth of the spirit?"

"It is a spiritual connection. If someone strongly does not want a dragon to die, the dragon's spirit will have a place to reside. This is called spiritual cocoon."

Su Enxi found it strange: "Has no dragon ever done this before? Doesn't that mean they can resurrect indefinitely?"

After a moment of silence, the boss sent a text message: "Well, dragons are inherently cold-hearted. Even twins on the same throne are more like master and pet, so they can't have that kind of spiritual connection."

"Furthermore, Hela can open all the lands of the dead; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the goddess of death. Jormungandr gained Hela's power the moment he absorbed Fenrir, and his understanding of death and resurrection surpasses mine..."

"She was such a beautiful woman, and she had all the qualities to have an interracial relationship, but the person she chose really left me speechless."

"It means..."

Mai Shude's mouth dropped open. "Family love is not allowed, but romantic love is? And it has to be a forbidden love that transcends race? Because only humans possess this magical spiritual power of love?"

"Hmm, you could say that... although I don't really know what love is either."

The boss's answer made them both laugh and cry, yet they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you relieved?"

"Aren't you the same!"

The two glared at each other, not knowing why, then turned around and blushed at the same time... Only they themselves probably knew why they were blushing.

The two decided to continue watching the monitor screen.

"Wood…"

Erii dared not approach Natsuki at this moment.

He spread his wings, his body covered in black scales, and his face was covered in bone armor, making it impossible for her to see his expression.

After a while, he finally lowered his hands and slowly stood up.

"Mumu...I'm...I'm sorry..."

Tears streamed down Erii's face like pearls falling from a broken string, one by one to the ground.

"Don't cry..."

Xia Mu's gentle voice came from under the mask.

Erii looked up in surprise.

Xia Mu's black scales made a slight sound, then disappeared one by one from bottom to top like waves, slowly turning into... a set of black men's casual clothes.

The Queen of Earth and Mountains may not be as skilled in alchemy as the Queen of Bronze and Fire, but turning dragon bones into a set of clothes is another matter entirely, because it is her own dragon bones.

The bone armor mask on Xia Mu's face disappeared much more slowly.

Erii stared nervously at his face, imagining how sad he must look.

But after the bone armor disappeared, she saw a faint smile on his handsome face.

For a moment, she couldn't believe her eyes and rubbed them.

"It's alright... Erii."

Xia Mu looked at her gently, "These... are none of your business. You did nothing wrong."

"Aren't you...aren't you sad...?"

Erii didn't know how she felt. If Natsuki was very sad, her heart would ache, but if he wasn't sad, she would feel sorry for Natsumi.

"I feel fine."

Xia Mu's expression was impeccable, like a gentle spring breeze, protecting Erii's emotions. "Let's leave here. Soon, this Nibelungen will be completely gone."

"okay."

Erii subconsciously responded and walked towards him for two movie segments, but then... slowly stopped.

"wrong…"

"That's not how it is..."

Large tears suddenly welled up in her wine-red eyes.

"What? Don't overthink it, I'm fine..."

Xia Mu reached out, as if to take her hand.

But Erii abruptly shook her off, backing away step by step, shaking her head repeatedly: "No...that's not how it is...you're lying to me...you're lying to me..."

Her eyes were red and swollen as she stared at Xia Mu, her voice trembling with tears as she cried out, "You can act! Your acting is better than anyone else's! You're just putting on an act to fool me!"

"No, don't overthink it. I... I've never acted in front of you." Xia Mu chuckled softly.

But you shouldn't laugh!

Erii raised a finger to his face, tears streaming down her cheeks, "You shouldn't have smiled..."

She shook her head and backed away, then suddenly turned around, leaped upwards, and used the falling pebbles to propel herself up, quickly leaving the place... in such a panicked and disoriented manner.

"I…"

Xia Mu's expression went blank. She looked down at her hands, "Shouldn't I have laughed...?"

With his acting skills, he could have done it flawlessly, but he didn't understand what kind of mood he should be showing. He only thought about how he should act to keep Erii's emotions under control.

"Xia...Mi..."

He murmured to himself, raised his head, and walked forward numbly.

Behind them, Nibelungen gradually collapsed, as if after waiting for thousands of years, it could no longer hold on, and the abandoned race was destined to be lost in the dust of history.

Falling stones occasionally hit him, but he seemed oblivious, continuing to walk forward, step by step, without stopping.

The figure disappeared into the darkness, never to be seen again…

Chapter 249 Loss is a painful thing

"under…"

Caesar and Nono were blocked by the herd of weasels and could not go down below, so they had to stay at the exit and confront the weasels.

Until a streak of red cloud flashed past from below, all the Kamaitachi scattered in panic.

Erii appeared at the cave entrance.

Caesar wanted to inquire about the situation, but he saw that the girl's face was covered in tears and her expression was one of despair.

She gently grasped the red spear that sealed the cave entrance, inserted the long sword into it, and it transformed back into the little red umbrella that Xia Mu had given her.

She stared blankly at the red umbrella in her hand, then suddenly her figure floated up and rushed out of the building at lightning speed.

"Eri..."

The closed roller shutter door of the building was suddenly opened, and sunlight shone in.

Genjiro appeared at the doorway, dressed in a trench coat.

Erii's distraught appearance startled him. "Eri, what's wrong?!"

Erii slowly stopped, her once bright eyes now dull and lifeless: "Brother...brother..."

"What happened?"

Yuan Zhisheng suddenly drew his twin swords from his back, golden flames flickering in his eyes, and looked behind her.

In his opinion, something must have happened to Erii that she couldn't bear to do this.

Could it be... that Natsuki is dead?

He was first startled, then became worried.

Although he harbored some resentment towards Natsuki for having abducted Erii for so long, he couldn't imagine what would happen to Erii if Natsuki died.

"I... want to go home..."

Erii lowered her eyes and said softly, "Take me home...brother..."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Without hesitation, Yuan Zhisheng immediately opened the car door behind him.

Erii paused, wanting to turn around to look, but in the end she got into the car and was taken directly to the airport by Genjiro.

"What exactly happened?"

Caesar and Nono chased after the car to the door, only to see the taillights of the car in the darkness.

"Xia Mu hasn't shown up yet. Could something have happened to her?" Caesar frowned.

Nono slowly shook her head and looked back: "No, what's in Uesugi Erii's eyes isn't despair, but regret and escapism. She seems afraid to face what's behind her... So, Natsuki didn't die. She might have done something to wrong Natsuki."

Caesar was silent for a moment: "I will never have the chance to cheat again."

If she can write a clear profile of someone in just one glance, then she must be a living, breathing super anti-cheating machine.

Nono rolled her eyes: "I've been observing them for a long time, okay? Although I had a general idea about the identity swap before, I wasn't completely sure until now... So, I've been doing a lot of profiling of them."

“Hello,” Caesar suddenly answered the phone, “Percy? What? You said the signal from the King of the Earth and Mountains has disappeared?”

“Yes, young master Caesar,” Percy pondered for a moment, “We observed that Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei did not seem to take any action, which means it must have been Xia Mu who did it alone. He has a grudge against the family, so… Mr. Frost means that we can announce that you killed the King of Earth and Mountain. Such things happen underground, and without surveillance, no one can say for sure.”
