Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

What an obnoxious attitude," Odin thought, speaking coldly, his emotionless voice echoing throughout the ship: "No one can save you."

"You have everything you have today because of my indulgence, but I can give you all this and then take it all back. All your struggles will be in vain, and your fate has already been sealed."

Yuan Zhinü ignored this rambling fellow and kept her gaze fixed on the blood-red sea in the distance. This ancient giant ship was made up of the dead, and the wails of the deceased filled the air.

Although she didn't know where she was, the scene felt familiar; the same scene appeared in the part of the White King's memories.

That was Ragnarok.

Upon awakening, Nidhogg's first act was to begin his rampage from his slumbering place, slaughtering his way from north to south, then from east to west, until he utterly destroyed the entire world.

Whether human, hybrid, or even plant and animal, all life will be destroyed. Even the Dragon King cannot escape this catastrophe. Everything will be destroyed, and the entire world will be covered by a blood-red ocean until there is no trace of life left.

And the one that will be destroyed in the end will probably be the Dragon King. They will ride on a giant ship made of undead to put up a last-ditch resistance, and then be killed in a sea of ​​blood.

This is exactly what's happening right now.

Nidhogg had not yet awakened, but Odin repeated Ragnarok, probably to tell Genji that her era had ended.

The old king is always killed on the throne by the new king; this is an unchanging truth of the dragon race.

but……

"You want to kill me? You think you can?" Yuan Zhinu's lips curled up: "Thousands of years ago, even Nidhogg couldn't kill me, yet you, an imposter, dare to even think about it."

"What are you talking about with all this talk about fate? If you really knew about fate, would you have failed so many times over?"

She spoke without any mercy, and Odin narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened: "You knew all along?"

“It’s not really anything secret,” Yuan Zhinv said. “It’s just that you keep failing and then restarting.”

Odin said nothing more, put down the cup he had been holding, and his expression became silent and inquisitive.

“You shouldn’t know these things,” he said. “The White King’s memories shouldn’t include these things.”

The White Queen's memories indeed lack these things, because she died too young. No matter how many times this world restarts, the White Queen is already dead, so her memories will not contain anything about these things.

So this truth was guessed by Genji herself, based on the original work.

Odin's ability is likely to manipulate time, which is why he can erase people. As for restarting the world, that's probably the power of the devil, but Odin is also involved.

In short, when the situation becomes so bad that it's beyond repair, the devil and Odin will choose to restart, returning everything to the way it was before anything happened, and start over.

However, this ability certainly comes at a considerable cost; it's not something you can just restart whenever you want, but this ability does indeed exist.

After obtaining the White King's memories, Genji learned some secrets, the most important of which was:

The White Queen knew she could not be resurrected. Although she died young, she was never truly dead and had foreseen what was about to happen before her execution.

So she left herself a backup plan.

She captured a soul from another world, namely Genji, and while offering her help, she also used it to break the scripts planned by others, attempting to revitalize herself.

After all, without any surprises, no matter how many times this world restarts, it's always the devil and Odin who call the shots, and basically only the two of them are playing their game; the script is in their hands.

So the White King chose to use a surprise attack, a brilliant move that cut off the enemy's supply lines and successfully ended their script. Unfortunately, this surprise attack was too unpredictable; it was beyond the control of others and also beyond her control.

Before Odin and the demons could do anything, she was killed by a surprise attack, leaving only her power and memories. Combining this with what she had read in the original work, Genjiro guessed most of the truth.

However, Genji had no intention of explaining these things to Odin.

The two are now trapped in this space, neither able to gain the upper hand, and the stalemate continues. But this space is Odin's domain.

He can alter the flow of time here, and he can slowly wear down Genjiro here.

His ideal scenario would be to devour Genji's dragon bones here, merge his pseudo-Black King power with the White King's authority, then go out and devour the remaining dragon kings, and finally lead all his power to confront the awakened Nidhogg.

Odin's plan was brilliant, and it seemed that Genji was at a disadvantage, but in reality, she did encounter a small setback.

She could feel herself growing weaker and weaker with the passage of time, and Odin was patiently waiting for her to be at her weakest before delivering the fatal blow.

At this moment, the best course of action is to seize the opportunity while you are still in good condition and fight as hard as you can, otherwise your chances of winning will decrease over time until they are completely gone.

However, Yuan Zhinü was not in a hurry, because she knew that she was definitely not the only one who was anxious. Even if everyone in the world forgot about her, that devil would never forget her.

After all, the idea of ​​Odin ruling the world is really abstract to think about.

But then I thought again, it's really interesting that the devil hates her so much yet still tries to get her out.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhinü couldn't help but chuckle. She looked up at Odin, her posture even relaxed: "Let's make a bet."

"What bet?" The man raised an eyebrow. "You're still in the mood for betting?"

"Do you know that I can kill you in three days at most?"

"Then let's bet three days. Within three days, I can get out of here." Yuan Zhinu smiled: "Are you willing to bet?"

"As for the stakes, well, if I get out, you're dead; if I don't get out, I'm dead too. So let's gamble with our lives, how about it?"

"Do you know where this is?" Odin didn't answer her, but just smiled: "There's no way out of here from the inside. Even the Black Sovereign, who was trapped here, couldn't get out from the inside."

“I guessed it.” Yuan Zhinv nodded.

“Everyone outside has forgotten you,” Odin explained considerately. “No one remembers you, and you can’t get out of here from the inside, so do you know what that means?”

He paused for a moment, then concluded, "You can't get out. Even if the Black King came, it wouldn't work, let alone if you were just the White King."

"Perhaps," said Yuan Zhinü. "So, shall we bet?"

Do you dare?

……

"It should be here. Let's split up and search. Be careful, there might be accomplices."

"Caesar, have the crow lead the way to the east, and Chu Zihang to the north. Yaksha will go with us, and Sakura will come with me. As for Lu Mingfei, he can either stay outside and keep watch for us, or notify us immediately if anyone comes."

"Lu Mingfei? Lu Mingfei?"

Lu Mingfei snapped out of his daze and looked up to see everyone staring at him. He nodded, not even hearing what they were saying, and mumbled an agreement: "Okay, all is well."

The group looked at each other, but didn't say much, and quickly disappeared into the building.

This is an abandoned shopping mall that used to be a gathering place for the Oni Clan, but it was besieged and destroyed when it was at odds with the Snake Clan, and the mall was burned down along with it.

In addition, its location is rather remote, and no one has come here since, making it seem eerie at night.

However, mixed-race people are not afraid of ghosts. Lu Mingfei watched the others leave, gritted his teeth, and also went inside.

He took out his phone from his pocket, which had a navigation app clearly pointing in a certain direction.

This is something the devil gave him; it's said to give him some answers he wants.

When the devil said that in exchange for Yuan Zhinü, the price to pay was her entire life, Lu Mingfei was stunned for a long time, so long that the devil revealed a mocking expression.

He tossed the phone to him with a mixture of pity and sympathy, coldly saying, "Even though you haven't placed an order yet, I can offer you after-sales service. Go find her."

"You'll have your answer." The devil paused, then shrugged. "If you decide to make the deal after reading it, you can contact me anytime. Of course, if you give up on the deal, I won't do anything; I'll just laugh at you."

After saying that, the devil disappeared from the car without waiting for his reaction.

Lu Mingfei had no idea what the devil was up to. Holding the phone the devil had given him, he wandered further and further astray until, in the end, even he himself didn't know where he was.

He couldn't see anything in the pitch-black room. He looked down to turn on his phone's flashlight, when he felt something hard pressed against his head. He shuddered and froze.

"How did you find your way here?" A hoarse female voice rang out from behind, carrying a chilling murderous intent: "Speak!"

"I...I...I..." Lu Mingfei was so nervous that he couldn't speak properly. Before he could even utter a sound, the girl's voice rang out in front of him.

"Sister Xiaomu, let him go, I know him."

The lights came on, and the red-haired girl looked at him curiously. Lu Mingfei recognized her; it was Erii.

The thin girl put away the gun, gave Lu Mingfei a cold glance, turned and left, walking into the darkness.

Lu Mingfei almost didn't recognize that it was Sakurai Kogure. Her long, black hair was messy, her cheeks were sunken from thinness, and her once gentle and beautiful eyes were now filled with coldness and killing intent, like a drawn sword, making no attempt to conceal its sharpness.

“You, she…” Lu Mingfei wanted to ask her how she had become like this, but he swallowed it back and only said, “Eri, do you still remember your sister?”

"What older sister?" Erii was taken aback. "I don't have an older sister."

Lu Mingfei's heart suddenly sank, but he still asked, unwilling to give up, "You don't remember your sister, so why are you helping Sakurai Kogure find her?"

Erii tilted her head and looked at him: "What do you mean by looking for someone? Kogure-neechan isn't planning on looking for anyone."

Lu Mingfei: "?"

"Then what are you doing hiding here? I heard you even stole important documents?"

“Oh, Kogure-neechan thinks the Snake Clan is unworthy of its name and wants to destroy and rebuild it. I’m trying to persuade her to give up this idea.” Erii said earnestly, her voice carrying a childishness beyond her years: “Fighting and killing are not good.”

"As for your older sister, what older sister? Do you know her, Xiaomu?"

From the darkness came a woman's hoarse, low voice: "I don't know."

Lu Mingfei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died completely at this moment.

He thought, "So everyone in this world has really forgotten her."

Even her lover has forgotten her.

Chapter 400 I'll Be the Lord of the Underworld

"How could you forget your senior sister? You two had such a good relationship, your relationship was clearly so good..."

Lu Mingfei murmured, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. All his previous plans had vanished. He had thought that if there was one last person in the world who remembered Genji, besides himself, it would be Sakurai Kogure.

Although he didn't understand the emotional entanglement between the two, he had secretly envied their deep affection. But Sakurai Kogure didn't remember. How could she not remember?

Erii looked at the distraught boy in front of her with curiosity and couldn't help but ask in her heart, "Kang Kang, what's wrong with him? He looks so sad."

"I don't know either." The boy's voice echoed in her heart, tinged with a hint of confusion: "I think I've forgotten something, but I can't remember it."

“It’s strange, I also feel like I’ve forgotten something,” Erii said, touching her chest and frowning. “It feels empty here.”

"But I can't remember what I forgot."

Sakurai Kogure was able to escape from the pursuit of the Snake-Headed Eight Families entirely because of Erii's secret help. With Constantine around, the half-bloods' search spells were ineffective.

With Erii's access to the Uesugi family and her identity that would never be suspected by the patriarch or the young master, Sakurai Kogure has been able to hide until now.

But even Erii herself couldn't understand why she was helping Sakurai Kogure. They weren't close, and Sakurai Kogure even wanted to destroy the Hebi-hachi family, but Erii just didn't want to see anything happen to her. She always felt that it would make her regret it.

If she were a mature adult, she would have considered many factors and hesitated due to various concerns about the potential serious consequences, thus giving up on helping Sakurai Kogure.

Unfortunately, although Erii is a biological adult, her mental age remains that of a child. At this age, she is unreasonable. She wanted to save her, so she did. There was no other reason, and she did not consider the consequences of doing so.
