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

In his observation, Genji was brave but reckless, like a madwoman who was not afraid of death, and even looked forward to death at any time. Therefore, she was always successful because her opponents always had too many concerns.

The cowardly fear the brave, the brave fear the stubborn, the stubborn fear the crazy, and the crazy fear the fearless. Yuan Zhinü is at the very top of the food chain, both crazy and fearless.

From Odin's perspective, he believes she is more worthy of being nurtured than Herzog and wants to make her the next Herzog.

It doesn't matter if she's crazy or powerful, as long as she's not smart enough, no matter how strong she is, she'll just be manipulated. And everyone agrees that Genji is not smart.

But now, he has been tricked by such a foolish guy, and this same foolish guy has perfectly predicted all his actions.

How could someone who can do all this be truly unintelligent?

That can only mean that the previous Genji was pretending all along, and that her acting skills were really good, fooling everyone.

Odin knew he had discovered it too late. Even with his composure, he was on the verge of collapse. Who could accept that their millennia-long undertaking would be ruined by the most insignificant pawn?

The culprit behind all this, Minamoto no Chizuru, merely glanced at him twice, her expression even bordering on self-righteous.

"I've always been smart, it's just that you're too blind to see my intelligence."

Knowing from the original story that Odin has the ability to erase people from the world, how could she possibly attack him without any precautions?

These methods were incredibly ingenious, and of course, they weren't her ideas alone. Xia Mi and Eva both provided a little bit of help, just a little bit, but mainly it was her intelligence that helped.

Eva's incantations in life were focused on deduction and calculation. After becoming a supercomputer, her abilities in this area were enhanced to an epic degree. Coupled with her warlike personality, the solutions she proposed coincided with Genji's ideas.

In short, Genji pulled her external brain, Xia Mi, along with Eva to discuss this seemingly unsolvable situation. Eva then calculated various possibilities and finally chose the safest solution—which is the current one.

Since they can't break the deadlock, let someone who can break it do it. Since they can't deal with Odin, let someone who can deal with him do it.

The best way to break someone's plans is to not follow their script; the more they fear something, the more they want it to happen.

He wanted to easily devour Genji, then gather all the forces he could, and only after making all the necessary preparations would he confront Nidhogg? How could he possibly do that?

Since he's so afraid of Nidhogg, let's use the old trick: if that doesn't work, we'll go down together and see if he dares.

Odin certainly wouldn't dare, and since Genji had done such a thing before, he would definitely take precautions. In other words, he would try to hide Nidhogg, or at least prevent others from finding it.

This is consistent with his cautious personality.

All of this reasoning was derived by Eva using a large amount of data to determine the most likely events to occur in that environment.

Now that we know how things are going, it's much easier to choose a course of action based on that. At least Xia Mi immediately came up with an idea. Based on her understanding of herself, she finalized her current plan.

Of course, these are all small contributions. The biggest contributor to the whole plan was Yuan Zhinv. If she hadn't told Xia Mi and Eva about the things that would happen in the original story and the changes after Chu Zihang disappeared, they would have had no way to analyze it, let alone formulate a plan.

Therefore, Yuan Zhinü felt that she deserved great credit. Those who said she wasn't smart were just jealous of her talent. She was obviously incredibly smart. Even Odin, that old schemer, couldn't outsmart her. If she wasn't smart, who was?

Thinking this, Yuan Zhinv instantly became even more proud, raising her head and puffing out her chest, she said confidently: "Give up, I have seen through your schemes. If you don't leave, Xia Mi will awaken Nidhogg, and then we'll see what you do."

She bluntly stated her thoughts, not caring that her scheme had been exposed. After all, given Odin's intelligence, he must have figured everything out by now.

If he doesn't want to face the situation of Nidhogg's awakening, he has to go out and stop Xia Mi, because that girl who is Hela, the Goddess of Death, is the complete Dragon King. In this world, apart from Genji, only Odin himself can stop her.

But if he wanted to go out, he had to ask Yuan Zhinv if she would allow it.

He needed three days to wear down Genjiro's condition, and less than a day has passed. Genjiro is only a little listless now, but she is far from being weakened.

As the supreme white monarch, her strength is undeniable. If a real fight were to break out, even Odin, who had become the pseudo-black king, might not be able to secure a victory. A mutually destructive outcome would be the most likely result.

If Genjiro fights desperately to prevent him from leaving, he will inevitably be unable to get out, and then he will have to watch helplessly as Nidhogg wakes up, and then everyone will be finished.

This is a dead end, unless he lets Genjiro go out with him.

This is precisely what Genjiro's purpose was; her true goal was never to perish together with her, but to escape.

Unable to get out on her own, she forced Odin to let her out.

This is a completely open conspiracy. For so many years, Odin has been letting others make choices, but now, it's finally his turn.

Yuan Zhinü was not in a hurry at all, and even seemed to have a sense of confidence in her victory. That confident and self-assured demeanor, as if she had everything under control, was the same attitude that Odin had not long ago.

Fortune changes, and before we knew it, the positions of the two sides had been reversed.

Looking at the ugly face of the man in front of her, Yuan Zhinv felt genuinely happy. Even being trapped, forgotten, and mentally exhausted didn't matter anymore. She even felt like she could chop off another 100 heads!

She reached out and touched the three knives tucked into her waistband. The Dojigiri, the Spider Cutter, and the Murasame trembled slightly, as if responding to her call.

Although it's still a bit of a shame that Leivatin lost Genji, to be fair, these three swords are pretty good. They are all top-tier alchemical weapons of the modern era, and could easily take down a dragon king or two.

If things don't work out, then let's have a fight. If that bastard Odin manages to escape from under her nose today, then she'll have lived in vain.

Just as she was thinking this, Odin, as if he hadn't seen her restless thoughts, slowly composed himself, exhaling a breath as if forcibly suppressing all his turbulent emotions.

He said, "Although your arrangement is ingenious and beyond my expectations, it's not enough."

Yuan Zhinü narrowed her eyes, neither speaking nor withdrawing her hand from the knife.

Odin ignored her attitude and didn't care whether she replied or not. He simply said to himself, "Hela is not qualified to awaken the Supreme Being that I have concealed."

Yuan Zhinü frowned, as if she had noticed something, and suddenly looked down at the sea.

The blood-red sea surface churned and roared, with wave after wave crashing higher and higher, but the enormous creature deep in the seabed remained motionless.

If you look closely, you'll find that no matter how turbulent the sea is, the area of ​​water near the behemoth remains calm. There is an invisible domain, like a transparent wall, that keeps all disturbances out.

No matter how much noise Xia Mi made, she could never break through that transparent "wall".

In a flash, Genji immediately understood: "You've also set up a domain barrier for defense."

“Yes.” Odin readily admitted, “I’m ashamed to say it, but I really didn’t expect you to be able to plan to this extent, nor did I expect you to be able to guess my actions so thoroughly.”

"So this defense was just set up on a whim, at most a product of a moment of inspiration, and it's not very reliable. At least if you went there, you could easily break through it."

"But Hela can't."

As he spoke, his face showed undisguised contempt. He seemed to have never respected his dragon king brothers and sisters. In his eyes, these people were probably as stupid as primitive people and were not on the same level as him.

This arrogant and condescending attitude is unpleasant.

Yuan Zhinv clicked her tongue in displeasure. Just as she was considering whether to fight Odin and stir up some trouble from within, hoping to coordinate with Xia Mi from the inside, the whole world seemed to tremble.

She and Odin looked up at the same time and saw that the fog in the gray sky had been shaken away, and a very bright color stretched across the sky, like the sun rising or a meteor falling.

And then the whole world shook violently.

The moment they saw that light, they both realized something at the same time. Yuan Zhinü finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, while Odin's expression was beyond ugly.

His dark eyes were as gloomy as water, and the turbulent emotions he felt made his face twitch. He was no longer the aloof chess player he once was, because someone had overturned the chessboard and smashed it into his face.

Meanwhile, on Franz Joseph Land, Xia Mi covered her ears. The heat wave from the explosion lifted her long hair, which swayed like seaweed in the gale, but the girl's slender body remained motionless, as if the terrifying shockwave did not exist.

Once the blinding light subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of continuing to damage the landscape ravaged by the explosion, she turned and leaped onto the helicopter high in the sky.

No one saw how she jumped up. The helicopter was so high that it was impossible to estimate the distance to the ground with the naked eye, yet she appeared like a ghost. The other people on the helicopter didn't react at all, as if they had expected this to happen.

Just now, this helicopter released the Tsar Bomba, a cutting-edge technology.

The Tsar Bomba, also known as the Tsar Bomba or the King of Bombs, was a hydrogen bomb developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Its power was extremely astonishing, with an explosive yield of 5000 megatons of TNT, equivalent to 3800 times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Even now, the aftershocks of the explosion have not ended; in fact, they have only just begun.

The deployment of such a strategic weapon would obviously be accompanied by a series of troubles, but the people on the plane remained expressionless, as if they didn't care about anything.

There were only three people on the helicopter: Yuan Zhisheng, Lu Mingfei, and Erii sitting in the corner.

Seeing Xia Mi board the helicopter, Genji, who was piloting the machine, nodded and calmly asked, "Is the explosive power sufficient?"

Xia Mi raised one of her pretty eyebrows: "What, if I say it's not enough, do you want to throw in another one?"

Yuan Zhisheng seemed to be thinking the same thing, so Lu Mingfei quickly spoke up to ease the tension: "Xia Mi, have you found Zhi Nu?"

Xia Mi raised her other eyebrow as well: "What child? Who is that?"

As she spoke, she looked at Erii beside her, and Erii shook her head as well, which was the Constantine inside her answering.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and explained, "Didn't you send a message back saying that you thought you had found an entrance to the Nibelungen? The coordinates are here."

“You may have forgotten what’s inside the Nibelungen, but actually there’s a person inside, and that’s the one you’re looking for. We need to rescue her.”

He tried to use concise and refined language to recount the existence and main deeds of Genjiro, but he was unaware of what happened between Genjiro and Natsumi, so he spoke vaguely about that aspect.

"So, why would I want to find someone like this?" When Xia Mi asked this question, Lu Mingfei couldn't answer and could only shake his head.

Genji calmly replied, "You can ask her yourself after you rescue her."

Xia Mi smiled: "Good idea."

She looked at Genjiro and Erii with interest and asked, "If I can't remember someone, you probably can't either, so why don't you think this guy is crazy?"

As she spoke, she pointed at Lu Mingfei, her tone nonchalant: "Maybe he's playing us; there's nothing here at all."

Erii did feel that something was wrong, and she couldn't answer the question, so she could only look to Genji for help. Genji, however, was very calm and said slowly and deliberately, "Because I have already made a mistake once, and it is etched in my memory."

"So I will not allow myself to make the same mistake twice."

Not long ago, deep in the mountains of Japan, Genji pushed open the heavy well cover and saw a bright red hunting robe inside, along with three clearly visible characters on it—

"Find her."

The handwriting was slender, vigorous, and clear, blurry yet familiar. Yuan Zhisheng was stunned the moment he saw those three words. An indescribable sense of absurdity surged into his heart, and then a huge wave of emotion surged within him.

He recognized him.

Those were his own words.

Chapter 406 You Can't Leave Today

"You mean, you left yourself a note at some point, telling yourself that you must find her?"

Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, Franz Joseph Land archipelago.

The aftershocks of the explosion continued, with howling hot winds sweeping across the entire archipelago. Based on past experience with test explosions, the impact of such advanced human technology would cause enormous damage to the surrounding environment, including seismic waves that would travel around the Earth three times and radio communications being interrupted for an hour.

The shockwave and hot air generated by the explosion can also cause devastating damage to buildings and vegetation around the blast site, and even shatter windows in houses in countries such as Finland.

Such a commotion could not have been kept secret from the leaders of various countries. They probably noticed it the moment the Tsar Bomba was detonated, and by then, reconnaissance teams had likely been dispatched.

But at this moment, Genjiro couldn't care less about anything else. If Odin were to devour Genjiro, it would be no exaggeration to say that humanity would be utterly defeated.

Because the situation was urgent enough, Genjiro couldn't care less that the person in front of him was a noble Dragon King. He ignored the girl's strange expression and said in a deep voice:

“I know you don’t believe me. I don’t even know when this note was left, but I can’t miss it again. I must find her, whether she really exists or not.”

His words were incoherent, which was quite rare for him, demonstrating the complexity and excitement he was experiencing.

Yuan Zhisheng found it hard to describe how he felt when he saw the note. For so many years, he had been filled with guilt because he had killed his own sister, the only family member he had relied on for so many years.
