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

He was filled with regret and self-blame all the time. Countless times in the dead of night, that sad face would appear in his dreams, the girl covered in blood, staring at him without blinking, tears of blood streaming from her eyes.

She asked him, "Why won't you listen to my explanation?"

Why won't you even give me a chance to explain?

Why did he so decisively draw his knife, so decisively taking her life?

Yuan Zhisheng could never answer. He only knew that when he woke up from the nightmare, he felt as if he was about to die and the pain that went deep into his soul. He was being tormented every moment. Every day he lived was torture.

But he would not seek death. Even if he did not want to live, he would live in pain to atone for his sins.

This note, however, represents that he can make up for his past mistakes, that he can break free from those painful days, that everything can still be salvaged, and that there is still a chance.

No matter how absurd the matter may be, no matter how many years the girl in his memory has been dead, just those three words are enough for him to abandon everything and even give up everything.

No one knows you better than yourself, so he could easily imagine what his mindset was when he left that note at that unknown time.

No need for lengthy discourses, detailed explanations, or even pros and cons analysis; just these three words are enough.

Anyway, he'll do his best.

Xia Mi glanced at Lu Mingfei, who looked like his mother had disappeared, then at Yuan Zhisheng, who looked like his mother had come back to life, and finally fixed her gaze on Erii, who looked completely bewildered and out of sorts. She suddenly realized that she and Constantine should have a lot to talk about.

The times have progressed too fast, making these two old dragons feel uncomfortable. They don't quite understand what these hybrids are babbling about.

If it were just Genjiro, Xia Mi could easily dismiss him with her arrogance, regardless of whether he was daydreaming or talking nonsense, she wouldn't bother with him at all.

The problem is, the person standing in front of her is not an ordinary Genjiro, but the older brother of Constantine's host, the older brother of a certain Supreme Friend who is suspected to be awakening, and that Supreme is standing right next to her, looking dejected and downcast.

Moreover, Xia Mi herself was also a little confused. She felt as if she had forgotten something, and the reason she lingered here was because she felt as if she was looking for something.

Even she herself couldn't remember what she was looking for.

Although what Lu Mingfei said was absurd, it perfectly explained why she felt that she had forgotten something.

So, are you the person I'm looking for?

——Yuan Zongnu.

Xia Mi took a deep breath and finally nodded: "Okay, let's see what's down there."

She wasn't one to overthink things; once she made up her mind, she was ready to act. She first looked down at the still-trembling ground, then looked at Lu Mingfei, and said, slowly and deliberately:

"I can't break through this defense. You're coming with me."

Lu Mingfei pointed blankly at himself: "Huh? Me?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be but you?" Xia Mi snorted twice. "Didn't you want to find your senior sister? You're looking for her with your mouth? You have no sincerity at all!"

Lu Mingfei had initially wanted to decline, but upon hearing this, he realized it made sense, gritted his teeth, and nodded, "Okay."

"I'll go with you."

Xia Mi was finally satisfied. She had tried to find the entrance to the hidden space, but she couldn't find it. She had a feeling that it wasn't that her strength was insufficient, but that her level was not high enough.

So she simply stopped calling for Constantine; she wasn't high enough in rank herself, so the kid shouldn't get involved.

Although it's unclear what level of barrier it is that's not even at my level, it's always good to bring Lu Mingfei along.

Surely they can't be below this level? Xia Mi really didn't believe it.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but when the tremors and flames finally subsided, Xia Mi grabbed Lu Mingfei and was about to jump down.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the terrifying height beneath his feet, touched his empty back, and his legs went weak. He stammered, "Just like that? Can't we bring a parachute or something?!"

"What are you afraid of? With me here, how could you possibly fall to your death?" Xia Mi said dismissively, jumping down without even blinking, as if picking up a chick.

The suddenness of the attack caused Lu Mingfei to lose control and let out a scream. The good-for-nothing clearly had a good voice, and his scream carried far.

Meanwhile, in a certain space below, Yuan Zhinu looked up at the gray sky and seemed to hear some indescribable ghostly cries. She recognized the source of the sound as Lu Mingfei.

She was somewhat surprised that this seemingly useless person was so effective. Hearing the explosion outside, she guessed that a hybrid might have joined the battle, but she wasn't sure if it was the Snake Clan.

Since Odin's plan was basically aimed at the Snake Clan, she felt that the Japanese guys would be delayed for at least several days before they could arrive, but she couldn't think of any other hybrids who would make a move.

Hearing Lu Mingfei's voice now, she immediately understood that this time the useless girl was very helpful, arriving with support, and it hadn't even been a day since she disappeared.

This is far shorter than the time Odin had predicted.

Her trump card was Xia Mi, which she had arranged before she disappeared. She had no hope of Lu Mingfei or the Snake Clan. The Snake Clan was just an ordinary person, and it would be too easy to influence them.

As for Lu Mingfei, it's purely because I understand his cowardly nature. In the original work, he cowers under Takamagahara drinking because he's afraid to face reality; his cowardice is outrageous.

The pretty girl prepared a test paper for him, and she would give him full marks no matter what he wrote, but Lu Mingfei actually missed the test.

Yuan Zhinv didn't think the man who couldn't be kept even with 100,320 flower tickets would be particularly enthusiastic about saving her.

Yuan Zhinu wouldn't blame him or look down on him; she was simply stating the facts. Her uncle and aunt had spoiled Lu Mingfei. Growing up in that kind of environment, the child lacked the courage to take a gamble.

She never forces anyone to do anything against their will, so she simply didn't expect anything from her.

But now, this loser has proven with his strength that he doesn't have to be unlucky all the time, that he has the courage to fight with all his might, and that he dares to stand up if he is really forced to.

Why does that cry sound so pitiful? These days, is it common to start a rescue by making a mournful sound?

Suppressing her doubts, Yuan Zhinu raised her delicate eyebrows high and smiled, making no attempt to hide her joy. She spoke politely, "It seems things have taken an unexpected turn."

"Sorry, it seems I've won again this time."

Her confident demeanor made Odin's already grim face darken even more. He realized that his script had gone wrong, and that something must have slipped out of his control, leading to the current situation.

Without a doubt, Odin is a superb chess player. He is meticulous and considers all kinds of unexpected events and changes. When unexpected events occur, he can make timely remedies. This is the fundamental reason why he is invincible in chess. Therefore, his strategy is always impeccable.

But now, he was being watched closely by Genji in this space and was unable to remedy the changes in time, so he immediately went astray.

He still couldn't understand how Tong Mingfei could subdue the Snake Clan in such a short time, temporarily suppress the opposition of other hybrids, and use the Tsar Bomba.

That's simply impossible; he doesn't have the brains or the means to do it!

However, what's done is done, and there's no point in saying more. One advantage Odin has over other dragon kings is that he never dwells on mistakes that have already occurred; he only thinks about how to make amends.

He was confident that even Lu Mingfei wouldn't be able to find their space, but he couldn't stop them from continuing to explore downwards.

Xia Mi guessed correctly. Although she wasn't qualified to break through the barrier concealing Nidhogg, Lu Mingfei was.

But this would inevitably awaken Nidhogg.

Odin knew he had absolutely no chance of facing the Supreme Being, and he was unwilling to take the path of mutual destruction. Therefore, only one path remained before him—

"What are you still standing there for? Let me out." Yuan Zhinu spoke for him, giving him his only option: "You're so smart, you can't be so clueless, can you?"

“Nidhogg is awake, everyone is finished. I’m dead, so be it. All these years have been a waste anyway. You’re definitely not happy about it.”

"If you don't want to be buried with me, then let me out. We lost this time, but there's always next time, right? We'll keep playing."

She spoke bluntly, even with a hint of sarcasm, but Odin wasn't angry, because they all knew he had no other choice.

Just like Genji said, releasing Genji now would only mean losing one chance to kill her. Now that he has become the Pseudo-Black King, he will have many more opportunities to kill her.

There's no need to die here with this madman just for this one chance.

This madman only lived for about 20 years, so his death is no loss. But I have a thousand years of planning and scheming. To perish together with such a madman is really a bad deal.

Although this opportunity is rare, in the face of life and death, even the best opportunity must be given up.

In terms of weighing the pros and cons, Odin is an expert.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated or spoke, and with a cold snort, he raised his hand.

As he moved, the boiling, churning crimson sea gradually calmed down, as if a raging cat had been forcibly soothed. The sky, shrouded in thick fog, slowly brightened, the white fog dissipated, revealing the world that had been hidden behind it.

Yuan Zhinv could clearly sense that something like a domain was shrinking, and her feeling of being constantly isolated from the outside world was slowly fading.

Odin was surprisingly decisive; he didn't even bother to say another word and simply decided to abandon the attack, even though the opportunity was so perfect.

This kind of decisiveness is also a skill.

The main reason was that he had no choice but to be decisive. The group outside were all young and fearless, or rather, ignorant and fearless. They had no idea what was in the water or what the consequences of their commotion would be. So, they were incredibly brave and went forward without hesitation.

Odin was afraid that if he was slow to remove his protective barrier, things would become irreversible, such as Nidhogg waking up and greeting him.

But obviously, that didn't happen.

Odin was decisive. The moment the domain disappeared, Xia Mi sensed something and immediately retreated with Lu Mingfei, who had finally stopped screaming, and stood at a distance to watch.

The next moment, two figures appeared in the swirling dust, a man and a woman, seemingly facing off.

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up the moment he saw Yuan Zhinü, and he instinctively shouted, "Senior Sister! Senior Sister! I've found you!"

Yuan Zhinu raised her hand towards Lu Mingfei and gave him a thumbs up. Lu Mingfei's eyes instantly reddened. No one could understand the excitement in his heart at this moment, as if all his efforts had been rewarded.

Xia Mi was also observing Yuan Zhinü. Strangely, she still couldn't remember who the girl was, only that she vaguely felt that she was familiar with her.

Both unfamiliar and familiar.

Yuan Zhinu had no time to pay attention to them; her attention was entirely on the man in front of her.

Odin opened the barrier, which was practically an admission that he had indeed failed. He had no intention of lingering there any longer and turned to leave.

But something unexpected happened. Just as he made a move, Genji suddenly blocked his way.

The girl's expression was a half-smile: "Who said you could leave?"

Odin was stunned, and then an unbelievable and absurd thought popped into his mind. It was so absurd that he couldn't help but blurt it out: "You want to fight me here? Are you crazy?"

"Or are you still not recognizing the difference in strength between us, and are you in such a hurry to die?"

"So what?" Yuan Zhinv retorted, looking at the incredulous man before her, enunciating each word clearly:

“I’m telling you, you’re not leaving today.”

Chapter 407 The moment to settle years of grudges!

Odin doubted he had heard correctly.

Or perhaps he has lost his mind, and in reality, it is Genji who is stronger than him. Otherwise, why would Genji challenge him under such circumstances?

He thought that his ability to easily eliminate Genji's existence had already demonstrated his strength. After all, if it weren't for these people interfering, he could have easily killed her in two days.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that after narrowly escaping death, one should keep a low profile. Now that you've been spared, why aren't you running away? What are you thinking?

Shouldn't the correct approach be to play it safe and develop your strength, then wait for the right opportunity to take revenge? As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late...

In short, this is the way a normal person should think!

Odin really couldn't understand Genji's actions. Wasn't she just acting very smart? She didn't seem like a fool at all, talking so eloquently. How come she turned back into the reckless brute she used to be?
