He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

"Oh right..."

Ritsuka recalled that the demons in those singularities were all terrifying pillar-like figures covered in eyeballs.

It doesn't look like a dragon at all.

No dragon in mythology looks like this!

"This is indeed very strange. There are serious problems with this true history of the dragon race... Could it be that Mr. Lu Ming has made a mistake?"

"It can't be... that those demonic pillars are just illusions, and their true forms are dragons, can it?"

......

Grand Temple of Time.

Above the hall, where white jade pillars stand in a circle, countless tiny, harmonious rays of light converge and slowly move around a huge halo.

"Chaldea..."

The being, disguised as Solomon, murmured softly on the jade throne in the center of the hall.

Suddenly, a demonic pillar appeared.

"My King, the final work of heat collection is complete, yet, yet, Chaldea remains a stubborn obstacle before our great undertaking. If it is not removed in time—"

"Barbatos, how is the control tower operating? Have the plans been fully prepared?" The king on the throne twitched his eyelids and suddenly interrupted the demon pillar's speech.

“Reporting to my king,” the demon pillar below the steps replied, “the control towers are all complete…”

However, the conversation was interrupted again.

“You… are not Barbatos.”

The figure on the jade throne said.

Upon hearing this, the entire "world"—the Beast Realm—came to life!

Countless demonic pillars, their demonic eyes turning, gaze upon this place!

"Hahaha, beast of mercy! I am the demon beast Hegula!"

The image of the demon pillar covered in giant eyeballs quietly crumbled.

What appeared in the original place were two individuals that did not have any demonic eyes at all, and had dragon-shaped mouths and abnormal tentacles respectively.

It's like part of a dragon's body.

"On behalf of Beast VI/S, I extend my greetings to your 'prototype world'!"

Volume 1: Chapter 148 The Gemstone Elder: Have I reached the end of my life?

Mind and body, spirit and flesh, power and strength.

In many cases, the two are inseparable.

The moment Lu Ming sensed the presence of the Little Tiamat spirit within his body, he realized something and felt a surge of confidence.

This enormous dragon body, driven by the instinctive tendency of souls to merge and become whole, will be unable to resist being devoured by Lu Ming.

After all, all of a dragon's actions rely on its physical instincts.

Since they are all instincts, they cannot be defied. Lu Ming's actions could very well have been forced to succeed.

And what needs to be done next is self-evident...

"...!"

Lu Ming suddenly heard a series of low roars, as if they were coming from a very distant place, or as if they were echoing in his ears.

The pinkish-white, bright red, or crystal-clear colors in the field of vision intertwine and reflect each other, each forming the vibrant organs and structures within the dragon's body.

Right now, these fleshy structures are writhing restlessly, and every cytokine, driven by its instinct to resist, has begun to divide and evolve without limit in the face of this uninvited foreign guest.

The jet-black mud was rapidly secreted, and a large number of glossy black, carapace-like alien life forms reappeared, emitting strange roars.

Lu Ming observed intently.

What astonishing vitality and dynamism! Even within Tiamat, life could evolve and construct itself in order to resist!

Lu Ming stretched out his arm, and silvery-white fiber-like branches extended forward. His gaze swept across the black monsters, taking in their structural weaknesses.

Tiamat herself was perfect, but her creations were not.

Whoosh whoosh!

The silvery-white branches transformed into countless strands that swept across the monsters at lightning speed, aiming at the "lines" on their bodies and slashing them swiftly. As the strands were severed, the monster horde was instantly torn to pieces and shattered into pieces by Lu Ming!

Lu Ming raised his other hand, directing more silvery-white threads to continue executing the plan and devouring Tiamat. This intensified the body's instinct to resist.

Then a large number of monsters appeared like a tide, with the interval between destruction and rebirth not exceeding a breath.

It's as if Tiamat isn't just a simple dragon, but a super-large gene pool of advanced biological technology!

"This is the last instinctive resistance of that 'me'."

The tiny juvenile Tiamat suddenly appeared beside her.

"I'm here to help you!"

Thank you.

Lu Ming looked up and around, and suddenly realized that the hissing sounds that had been gathering around his ears had become faint, almost inaudible. He immediately understood that it was Xiao Ti's mother who had done the work.

Little Ti's mother is the backbone of the larger Ti's mother's dragon body. She is also the spiritual will that can completely control this physical body.

"However, you don't need to worry too much about what happens next."

Lu Ming waved his hand.

"But! Do you really understand...?" the juvenile Tiamat leaned closer worriedly, "Compared to you, the adult forms..."

Lu Ming simply shook his head.

If he relies solely on Tiamat to suppress this enormous dragon body throughout the entire process.

So once she loosens her control, Lu Ming himself will likely be completely reversed by this devoured power, causing his bloodline to go berserk.

Lu Ming had a deep memory of the state of being in a state of extreme blood loss and sanity loss after transforming into a dragon during his previous fight with Odin.

At this moment, let's assume that even the power he has ingested cannot be subdued by himself, but is instead borrowed from someone else—oh no, Tiamat may not be considered "someone else" to him, but she is still considered "half of him" or "the other half".

Lu Ming felt that this would likely lead to one consequence—when he was about to unleash his full power, he would have to ask Tiamat to take control of his body so that this enormous force would cooperate willingly rather than go berserk.

This is no different from Lu Mingfei making deals with the little devil every time, and then getting a certain percentage of something for nothing in the fusion.

Therefore, Lu Ming felt that it was better for him to handle this kind of thing himself.

Moreover, if something unexpected happens and they can't hold on any longer, Tiamat Jr. is there to lend a hand.

So he pushed aside the delicate, blue-haired girl's hand that was blocking his way and continued to move along the spine, getting closer to the core of the dragon's body.

Tiamat.

What is the difference between a king and a mount?

Do you know?

Lu Ming suddenly asked.

"Well?"

The juvenile Tiamat was confused for a few seconds. Was this some kind of guessing game?

However, having had similar experiences, she quickly realized that this was a topic Lu Ming had deliberately brought up, yet another one that she couldn't answer.

She turned her head away angrily.

But as Lu Ming spoke, their ears perked up to listen intently:

"This isn't some childish riddle about humans and horses, or two legs and four legs. I'm asking, between two equal beings, which one becomes king and dominates the war, and the other becomes a mount to increase their fighting strength..."

What are the differences between these two?

There's only one answer: instinct!

Lu Ming asked and answered his own question.

Then, with a forceful reach, the sharp nails pierced the moist flesh, and the surging, radiating silvery-white branches, like a herd of wild horses, crisscrossed the vast network of blood and tissue fluid!

At the same time, golden light burst forth from his pupils, shining like a rising sun. Black scales covered his body, and his wings pierced through his back, spreading out in a bloody mess.

The noble bloodline of the ancient dragon roared within him, his wings covered in corpses soared through the sky, and his raw fighting spirit and killing instinct resonated in his heart!

It was as if the figure of a demon had climbed down to earth, baring its claws and roaring at the world, and all the kings of the mortal realm could only kneel and submit!

This is how the world of dragons works: the losers become nourishment, while the victors devour everything and are reborn.

If you want to devour a dragon whose will is not in control without leaving any future troubles, then you must use instinct to overcome instinct!

This is precisely the core secret of the Lionheart Society's bloodline refining technique, "Bloodlust," which weakens one's human spiritual will in order to maintain oneself while strengthening the dragon's instinct for killing!

Devouring foreign dragons and refining oneself are both ways to evolve one's bloodline, and the same principle applies to both.

Now, he will devour this dragon king and become a "hybrid king"!

......

One night passed.

At dawn.

"What? Tiamat outside the city is missing? Lu Ming and the others are back?"

So, we won?

After receiving the news from the front lines, Ai Lei was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.

She remained stationed at the rear, busy with various projects at the Great Temple, as well as delivering supplies to the front lines.

She also knew that Lu Ming had done his homework and prepared many plans to deal with his mother's attack. Although Lu Ming acted relaxed and casual with her, the impression of his mother's unparalleled power was already deeply engraved in the DNA of every god in Mesopotamia.

Before that, when he was guarding the rear.

Ai Lei remained restless, even imagining and nervously speculating whether the future would unfold in this way:

First, unexpected situations arose frequently, far more than imagined. Tiamat's mother displayed her divine power, and the dragon's immortality and evolutionary mechanism were strong and invincible.

Even Quetzalcoatl couldn't suppress them, and with Ishtar failing them and dragging them down, all their options were exhausted in their despair...

But! At this crucial moment!

The mature and reliable goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, stepped forward!

She used her underworld powers perfectly to drag Tiamat's enormous dragon body into the abyss of death in the underworld!

In this zone, the power of the laws makes the living impossible, while Lu Ming and his group can receive the protection of the goddess of the underworld. With this increase and decrease, the balance of power immediately reverses, and the scales of victory and defeat suddenly take a clear turn!

And so, she served as the best support player on the field, while Lu Ming, the best main damage dealer, delivered the final decisive blow! The two switched roles and cooperated seamlessly, their movements fluid and perfect!

Finally, the camera focuses on Lu Ming turning around, giving the goddess a relieved and relaxed smile. The enemy has disappeared, the atmosphere has changed, and the filter subtly shifts to a pink hue. The two gaze at each other with deep affection, like the male and female leads...

Now, it's time for fantasy...

"Ugh, damn it!"

Ai Lei lowered her head and banged it on the desk several times.

...Now it seems that my fantasy of turning the tide and boosting Lu Ming's favorability has failed.

The unexpected result was that the victory came so... efficiently.

"Wow! We won!"

"...So fast!?"

"Lord Lu Ming is mighty! Lord Lu Ming, you are invincible!"

Some people had already begun to celebrate excitedly, shouting loudly. Even though the temple was generally a serious working environment, at this moment, no one cared about anything else.

Whether they are magicians, top-tier Servants, or ordinary gods, they all share similar feelings when faced with the sudden attack of Beast.

If they were to take on the task one by one themselves, they really wouldn't be able to win at all.

I'm afraid none of this will satisfy Lady Tiamat. I'm truly sorry.

......

Welcome back!
