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

The orange-haired girl and the pink-haired girl came running, panting.

"What's up?" Lu Ming asked.

Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a quick glance.

They came to report a situation. Because the latter half of *The True History of Dragon Raja* contains a whole host of strange and bizarre elements, almost like something out of a novel.

They believe this may be a typo, or that Dumas may have mistakenly combined content from other works with historical errors.

Finally, Mash spoke first, saying, "Senior and I have discovered that there are some errors and strange content in Mr. Lu Ming's descriptions in 'The True History of Dragon Raja'."

"For example, Mr. Lu Ming said that Solomon's seventy-two demons were dragons sent by Odin, and Odin himself was also a dragon..."

They decided to choose an example they were somewhat confident about to try and make Lu Ming realize the problem.

Because they had actually seen the demon god.

It was a cylindrical monster with a ton of huge eyes, it was disgusting and had absolutely nothing to do with the shape of a dragon.

"I've said it before, don't be fooled by appearances and lies."

Lu Ming strode hurried towards the next location, saying, "Unless you witness its true nature with your own eyes..."

Mashu couldn't help but retort, "Sir! We not only witnessed it with our own eyes, we even fought..."

They'd both fought those Demon Pillars in several Singularities. Those things, even after being killed, never transformed into any other form.

At most, there will be some dropped items.

"and many more!"

Lu Ming suddenly stopped and looked back.

"...You're looking at me, aren't you!..."

The sudden change in the atmosphere startled the two girls.

After a short while, Lu Ming's cold expression returned to normal.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

"It's alright, it's alright." Ritsuka waved her hand. "And, about what we were talking about earlier..."

"That was just now! Another one of Odin's lackeys, still plotting against us. We'll have to end our workday early and prepare for a new round of war!"

Lu Ming had lost interest in chatting with the two girls.

Things should be prioritized according to their importance and urgency.

In his view, the most important thing is to respond promptly and even countermeasures against the unbridled spying by Odin's lackeys. Everything else should take a backseat.

This is the perspective from which one can observe all living beings from a high vantage point within the city.

Actually, Lu Ming is somewhat familiar with him.

Earlier, he had noticed a type of raven—most likely Odin's raven, and also His eyes and ears. Ravens fly high above, observing the entire city.

That peering gaze was so similar to that of a crow, and its origin was very likely the same.

Where could it have come from?

Lu Ming thought to himself, there is only one answer.

He gazed at the tallest building in Xueyuan City.

"We must completely resolve that ley line node on Crystal Hill."

......

Thick, persistent dark clouds rolled across the gloomy sky, and buildings rose up on the ground like a steel forest.

However, clear cracks and structural damage are clearly visible on the building's surface, and despite the crowds of people nearby, they cannot conceal the sense of decay and desolation.

Lu Ming once again called the core members to the foot of the high-rise building in Crystal Hill.

"How is the exploration of the leyline nodes progressing?"

Ai Lei replied, "The progress is not bad."

“We have discovered a number of useful traces, and even found a loophole in the Nibelungen blockade. If this was indeed left by Odin, then it can be used to track the other party’s whereabouts.”

"very good!"

Lu Ming clapped his hands. Such a successful start was something to be happy about. "So, using the loopholes here, can our people leave through the ley line nodes?"

Ailey shook her head. "It might be Odin's deliberate arrangement. These nodes are not stable enough. In the best-case scenario, they can only support one or two people to pass through at most, and they cannot be too powerful beings."

Lu Ming thought to himself, "As expected." This targeted approach was clearly Odin's deliberate design, taking him into consideration.

"What about the blockade around Snowfield City? Has it not been lifted yet?"

“We’ve explored this area as well,” Aile said with a headache. “There are fewer restrictions on entering and leaving the city, but it’s not possible to go far outside. You’ll probably reach your limit after traveling several hundred kilometers.”

Lu Ming clenched his fist.

So the Nibelungen has gotten bigger, huh!

Odin sent so many minions to cause trouble, yet he himself didn't show up. Could it be that he's busy with something like this?

In this way, the importance of this ley line node is elevated even further.

Unfortunately, only one or two people are allowed to conduct reconnaissance, and the other side is most likely Odin's stronghold, so the selection of personnel needs to be careful.

He thought about it and realized that this matter required a sufficient number of capable and reliable people to resolve.

"Go and invite Ishtar here."

Aileen froze, "Her? She can handle this?"

"Ellie, don't always look at others with the same old perspective."

Lu Ming said earnestly, "After the last incident, Ishtar has proven that she has the full ability and awareness. She has long been of one mind with us and is willing to actively and proactively fight against Odin."

"This time, I set aside past grievances and specially promoted her rank, in the spirit of trusting those I employ and not employing those I don't trust. I hope that Ishtar can give full play to her strengths and achieve new heights on the front line against Odin."

"Is that so?"

Ere remained skeptical.

Because 'it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature'—

In mythology, Ishtar easily destroyed Mount Ebif; her nature remains forever willful and capricious, and difficult to change.

A short while later, Ishtar arrived.

She also understood what Lu Ming meant.

Oh dear, is this fill-in-the-blank work for real? Is she going to be 'purged'?

"..."

Meeting Lu Ming's intense gaze, she fell silent.

"If a node can only allow one or two people to pass through at a time, shouldn't we add another one?"

"For example, a spy who is sufficiently familiar with the Odin organization?"

Another few minutes passed.

Cú Chulainn was forcibly dragged over.

After learning the whole story, he stared at Ishtar with icy eyes.

It's that woman again!

A vicious woman pretending to be cute and naive!

It wasn't enough that they tricked them into coming to the venue and then caused an accident; now they're making him a scapegoat?

Could this so-called reconnaissance be just another trap set by these people using the same old tricks?

Ishtar also stared intently at Cú Chulainn.

This is the guy!

Despite being Odin's spy, she insisted on making things difficult for me. Even with my attitude, I still ruined her entire plan!

'Man (woman), don't give me a chance to get revenge!' *2

"If you're going to work together, you two need to get along well," Lu Ming said, oblivious to the atmosphere.

"Haha, of course!"

Cú Chulainn and Ishtar both smiled at the same time.

Without a trace of a smile.

Volume 1: Chapter 150 Upstairs: General Gai / Middle: Odin / Downstairs: Lu Mingti

[...the node has been compromised?]

[They detected the flaw quickly and, in the split second before anyone could react, they had already penetrated the cage's barrier...]

Is it some kind of mysterious (magic) originating from outer space?

[So that's how it is... Indeed, we overlooked something; the antiquity of the universe (its origin) is a aspect that fate could not foresee.]

Golden threads, dense and numerous, drifted all around.

Each thread, ever-changing and unpredictable, seems like a canal of light that can traverse time and space, connecting all sorts of complex and ever-changing phenomena, and then linking them all together.

This is the thread of destiny for all things.

In Norse mythology, the three Norn sisters are responsible for controlling fate and weaving the web of destiny. This vast and boundless web stretches from the high mountains in the far east to the sea in the far west.

The threads of the net look a lot like wool.

Extending from the past to the future.

He was surrounded by many golden threads.

Looking at the concentrated black mud in his hand that wouldn't dissipate and kept spinning, and listening to the enormous curse that seemed to roar maliciously from within, he remained silent for a long time.

This is a contaminated Holy Grail that was dug out from the Great Hollow before the last evacuation from Snowfield City.

Although when they discovered that Lu Ming was attacking Tiamat, they used that hidden node to try to create some trouble in the rear.

However, this commotion, which Lu Ming had anticipated from the beginning, was quickly contained. Subsequent attempts to utilize the alliance agreement were futile.

That monster has grown up and swallowed Tiamat into its body. In time, it will transform into a colossal creature.

Currently, He still has a large amount of reserves.

However, repeating the same old tricks is neither valuable nor meaningful.

Aside from increasing the risk of exposure, it won't cause the slightest trouble whatsoever.

They've exhausted all their tricks and are at their wits' end...

He pondered.

Now, we have to change our approach.

Poorness leads to change, and change leads to continuity.

Since things have spiraled out of control, it's better to hand them over to someone else, increasing chaos and creating unpredictable changes, thus profiting from the chaos.

The Holy Grail of Contamination...

Let's just give it to the eye of the storm.

—The Clock Tower.

He gently pushed out what he was holding.

Thus, all the evil of this world was incorporated into the land of Britain.

Golden threads fluttered, as if sweeping across the island nation, heralding the impending storm of destiny.

......

Sizzle.

The crystalline fragments shattered completely, turning into nothingness.

Just now, Gemstone Onzelrich cleaned up the crystal ball debris and extracted valuable data from the reproduced images, which he then injected into a magic device similar to a fax machine.

Click-clack.
