Upon hearing this explanation, Yuan Zhinü suddenly understood. No wonder she always felt she had no chance of winning, no wonder she always felt she was lacking something, no wonder, no wonder...
Although the memories and power inherited by the White King are among the best in the dragon race, the White King is ultimately just a split off from the Black King, so their status and position are different.
The Black King is a life form born from the world itself. He is the master of the world and possesses the highest authority. Whether it is the White King, the four monarchs, or even the entire dragon race that split off from him, they are all just his subjects.
Since everyone exists in a different dimension, the outcome of the battle between the Black King and the White King thousands of years ago was already predetermined.
The White King is destined to die, just as she is destined to lose now.
Fate was predetermined, as if it were a pre-written script, with everything proceeding step by step, and even the ending already written.
The opponent was an existence far beyond her own, and the White King's precognitive abilities failed. However, Genji still foresaw her own fate, because she had gained the ability to see the script.
She has indeed become very powerful, powerful enough to have gained a certain degree of influence and the ability to see the script, but she is still an insider.
Because the opponent is Nidhogg, the world's top being.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhinü looked at the boy in front of her and calmly asked, "So, you have a way?"
Didn't I say I would give you this identity?
The devil laughed, but his laughter was polite and refined. His handsome features could even be described as gentle and elegant, completely devoid of any devilishness. He seemed as high and mighty as a god.
"Didn't you guess? My remains are in Black Swan Harbor."
“That was the final throne I prepared for my brother, but unfortunately, my brother didn’t want it, so it’s a good deal for you.”
"Go, eat me, and you will be qualified to become the Black King, and only then will you truly have a chance to defeat Nidhogg."
"Why are you helping me?" Yuan Zhinu frowned. "I don't think our relationship is that harmonious."
Their relationship was far from harmonious; they were once considered mortal enemies.
But when faced with her questions, the devil just smiled faintly. He seemed indifferent to everything, and it was unclear what he had been through.
"I'm not helping you, I'm just giving you a chance."
"For me, this world has lost all meaning. You have disrupted too many of my plans, to the point that I have no way of persuading Lu Mingfei now. In that case, I will give up on this world."
“If you fail, I will restart this world. For Lu Mingfei and me, this is another failure and a new beginning. We have experienced this many times before, but you are different.”
"You won't have a second chance, because you're not the real Genji. If you fail, this world will be destroyed. After the reboot, you won't be yourself anymore. You will be dead beyond any possibility."
"So, whether you live or die, whether you reboot or escape death, the final outcome depends on how far you can go."
"Go ahead, I'll be watching."
He raised his glass, downed the champagne in one gulp, then released it, letting it fall to the ground and shatter.
With the sound of a wine glass shattering, the illusion collapsed, and Yuan Zhinv found herself still standing at the door of the ward. Inside the ward, there was no sea, nor a bloody raging tide, only the regular, mechanical beeping of machines.
The doctor in the white coat looked at the girl who pushed open the door but didn't come in with a strange expression, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, is there something you need?"
Yuan Zhinu shook her head without saying a word. She didn't even glance at the ward before turning and leaving, leaving the bewildered doctors looking at each other in confusion.
She didn't alert anyone, but sent messages to a few close friends and family members, telling them that she was going to the Arctic Circle and didn't know when she would be back, asking them to delay as much as possible in the meantime.
After sending the message, she didn't give anyone a chance to reply and immediately turned off her phone.
However, to her surprise, just as she was about to leave Genji Heavy Industries, she saw someone standing at the door.
The girl wore a loose kimono, her hair was hastily tied up with a red ribbon, and her delicate face had a pair of charming eyes. She stood quietly at the door, gazing at Genjiro.
With a sigh, Yuan Zhinv resignedly walked over and whispered, "How did you know I hadn't left yet?"
"I don't know," Sakurai Kogure said softly, "but whether you leave or not, I will wait for you here."
Minamoto no Chiyomi fell silent. She reached out and touched the girl's soft, long hair. Sakurai Kogure asked in a low voice, "Will it be dangerous?"
“I don’t know,” said Yuan Zhinv. “But I promise, this is the last time.”
"If we return safely this time, then it will probably all be over."
"When that time comes, I'll take you away from Japan and let you live the life you've always wanted."
Sakurai Kogure stared intently at the person before her, her eyes filled with unwavering tenderness. She nodded, asking nothing, only saying:
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and pick me up."
……
"The young girl has set off. Although we don't know what she has discovered, she must have come up with a solution."
In the conference room, Uesugi Koshi said in a low voice, "Her last message was that we should try to delay the situation and wait for her to come back and clean up everything."
The word "purge" seemed to carry an intense, undisguised murderous intent, plunging the entire conference room into a moment of deathly silence. Everyone was shocked.
The vice-principal even forgot about abstract and eccentric ideas, muttering, "That's Nidhogg, the ruler of the world, Nidhogg! How dare she be so arrogant? And what methods could she possibly find?"
"Although I don't know what method she has found, I will always believe in her." Genji stated calmly, "Besides, at this moment, we have no better choice than to wait for her, do we?"
The meeting room fell silent again. Although I didn't want to admit it, Genji was right.
Compared to Nidhogg, humans are like ants, and hybrids are just slightly larger ants. In the face of natural disasters, the power of ants is laughably weak.
They had no power to resist, nor any chance to struggle. If it weren't for Genji, they would probably have just been waiting to die.
Therefore, even if they did not believe in Genji, they had no choice but to believe her, because they had already run out of options and were already in dire straits.
“In that case, there’s no point in saying more,” Angers said, breaking the silence. “Let’s think about how to buy some more time.”
"What can we do in the face of such an enemy?" The vice principal sighed. "From the moment he wakes up and opens his eyes, the destruction of the entire world won't be long. I'm asking you, what can we do?"
"There's nothing we can do but wait to die."
These words were quite disheartening, conveying a deep sense of helplessness, but they truly reflected the vice principal's current thoughts.
It wasn't that he was too dejected, but rather that his opponent was simply too strong; the gap between them was so vast that it made him feel utterly powerless.
“You have to struggle.” Pompeii shrugged. “Since you’re going to die no matter what you do, then it proves that you can do whatever you want.”
"Given the current situation, let's not care whether they're human or hybrid. Let's use all the technology available to buy time. Every little bit helps, and maybe it'll just be a matter of a few seconds."
“Our handsome girl hasn’t given up yet, it would be embarrassing for us old folks to give up first.”
"So you mean we should send a message to the Pentagon now?" Uesugi Yue's lips twitched. "Let all countries prepare for war? How should I put it, you mean a prehistoric creature has awakened and is going to destroy the Earth? That's too outrageous."
“No, no, no, of course there’s no need for that.” Pompeii raised a finger, a smug look on his face: “Although our family has declined, our network of connections is still there, so there’s no need to alarm everyone.”
"It would be good to discuss this with a few high-ranking officials who can make decisions. I believe other mixed-race families have infiltrated in the same way. It's fine to let the national level know some of the inside stories, since it can't be kept secret any longer anyway. But it's better for the general public to find out as late as possible to avoid causing unrest."
"Now that things have come to this, it's time to put our accumulated resources to use. Let's notify those mixed-race families. If they don't help when it's the end of the world, when will they?"
This playboy, who was always obsessed with beautiful women, was now acting as if he wanted to conquer the world, and was even beaming with excitement: "Isn't he just the King of the Dragon Clan? Let's prepare missiles, artillery fire, and even nuclear weapons for him to celebrate his rebirth."
"But there are problems with doing it this way..."
Despite the cacophony of conversations around him, Genji was too tired to listen. He stared at the rapidly changing sea surface on the projection screen.
The blood was getting thicker and thicker; even sitting in Japan, thousands of miles away, one could almost smell the strong stench of blood through the screen.
The sea surface churned incessantly, like a pot of boiling soup, making one wonder what kind of dramatic changes were taking place beneath the surface.
Eva's countdown continues, with 73 hours remaining.
Could these be the last 73 hours for humanity, or even the entire world?
No one knows.
The Snake Clan finally reached a conclusion: they absolutely could not sit idly by and wait for death. Although there were only 70-odd hours left, there was still a lot that could be done in those 70-odd hours.
All existing hybrids have received the message: the moment of decisive battle has arrived. Those with money should contribute money, those with strength should contribute strength, and those without money or strength should seize the time to train themselves to avoid becoming cannon fodder.
There were also undercurrents between countries. Pompeo personally went to the United States. No one knows who he met or what he said, but the final result was that they obtained weapons support.
Everything was being prepared in full swing, and a sense of impending doom hung in the air. Even some ordinary people had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
All online discussions about the apocalypse have been censored, but this still can't quell the fear and unease in people's hearts. Conspiracy theories abound, but no one cares about them, and no one has time to care.
Everyone understands that this will be the final battle; whether they live or die depends on these next two days.
……
65 hours to go, deep in the Arctic Ocean.
Xia Mi floated directly above the whirlpool, looking down at the theoretically unfathomable seabed. Beside her stood Erii, who had no expression, or rather... Constantine, who had no expression.
The sea roared, red waves rolled, and the aurora above the two of them formed a vortex shape. All these anomalies proved one thing: a restraint-level event was about to begin, and Ragnarok would descend in a place without sun.
Xia Mi smiled silently. She dodged and weaved, but in the end, she couldn't escape. But when the moment actually came, she felt it didn't matter anymore. Just like that madman said, if it doesn't work out, you just die. It doesn't seem like such a big deal.
"Hey, kid," Xia Mi tilted her head and asked Constantine, "Aren't you scared?"
Constantine shook his head: "I'm not afraid, but Erii is a little scared, and I'm comforting her."
"If you can get through this, what do you want to do?"
“I want to go out and have fun,” Constantine said. “Eri said there are many fun places in the world, and I want to see them all.”
"Hmm," Xia Mi said, "Then let's pray."
"Let's pray that we can get through this."
At the same time, Genji pushed open the door of the old wooden house.
Behind her lay endless ice and snow, and the buildings were mostly destroyed. In front of her was a dilapidated hut filled with rusty torture instruments. On the only narrow wooden bed, a boy sat quietly.
It was the skeleton of a boy, with a heavy bronze hue, like a work of art made of pure copper. Crystalline eyeballs were embedded in the skull's eye sockets, like a pair of golden glass beads.
Thousands of bones fused together to form many organs that have never been seen in any textbook. Two bundles of thin bones on his back opened like fans; those were his wings. The boy reached out and grabbed the wing bones on his back.
And in his chest was a bent spear, a spear made of tree branches, which had extinguished all his life force.
Like Jesus, who was nailed to the cross.
Chapter 412 Nidhogg, Returns to the World!
Seven hours left.
Xia Mi and Constantine remained on the vast, blood-red sea, serving as the first line of defense and the eyes that monitored the sea of blood.
Unfortunately, as time dwindled, the turbulent elemental currents here intensified, causing all electronic devices to malfunction upon entry. This made it extremely difficult for ships or aircraft to approach, especially since this area is a vast ocean, making it inaccessible to humans without the aid of tools.
However, they couldn't just ignore it, so they sent Xia Mi and Constantine to stay here and keep a close eye on the situation, relaying the latest news as needed.
However, when Nidhogg actually woke up, they had no choice but to retreat.
