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

Why are you exhibiting the reaction of a pseudo-Servant?

"Lengominiad—!"

Gray's Holy Lance unleashed a divine storm, detonating completely within the sealed Stone Soldier Eight Formation. Even with the Stone Soldier Eight Formation's seal, the radiance still filled the entire corridor!

The group hurriedly ran to a slightly safer place.

Weber then began his tense explanation:

"It seems that in some timeline, I was chosen by 'Zhuge Kongming' and became a pseudo-Servant who inherited his power."

"Not long ago, an organization from another world may have tried to send Servants here, which resulted in changes to me."

The so-called pseudo-servants are humans living in the present who are possessed by spirits and whose bodies are used as a medium to fuse with the spirit origin.

Ishtar and Ereshkigal are both such forms of existence. But Weber is different in that Zhuge Liang did not interfere with the host.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that now!"

Weber sighed, "More importantly, I was just summoned by our Grand Marshal of the Magic Path. I don't know why, but when I got halfway there, the entire clock tower was almost blown apart by an exaggerated force."

"That Time Elder actually showed up?" Reines thought that this news would definitely be on the front page of the magic world on any normal day.

"In short, today's incident and these monsters are probably related to what happened to that person. Take a look at this."

Weber handed over the manuscript paper.

He was shocked to discover that the Gemstone Elder had been investigating Odin before the accident.

Could it be that... the annihilation that the Clock Tower is facing is closely related to Odin? Was the Jewel Elder harmed by Odin?

Weber was deeply worried. He had intended to use backup methods to contact the students in Snowfield City, but unexpectedly, the connection was lost.

This is such a hassle!

"What? Odin?"

Reines stared at the contents of the manuscript in disbelief.

Her best friend Olga Marie was implicated because her father was executed for crimes such as conspiring with Odin, and was forced to flee to America.

Those within the monarch and heir circle who have even a little inside knowledge know that there is really no solid evidence for that; it's just an excuse for countless people who are envious and want to seize the resources of the Animusfia family.

And Odin actually came?

P.S., thank you so much to @紅紅火火恍恍惚惚 for the generous donation! This is the first time I've ever gotten a treasure chest, I'm so grateful! I'll try my best to update more frequently from now on!

Volume 1: (Bonus Chapter 1/5) Chapter 154 The Clock Tower Researches the Black King, and the Evidence is Conclusive!

"This is impossible!"

When Reines heard Waver expressing concern about whether Odin had harmed the Jewel King, she almost immediately concluded:

"What kind of person is Shi Zhiweng? Even if he encounters trouble, escaping in time shouldn't be a problem. Besides, his body has already reached the inhuman level of the 'Twenty-Seventh Ancestor'..."

“I certainly don’t think that person’s life is in danger, Reines!” Waver retorted. “But there’s no doubt that the Jewel Elder left behind these documents about Odin before he disappeared!”

He was so certain because it even contained a complete archive of the "Odin Incident" that he had compiled from his contacts in Snowfield City.

Therefore, it is clear that the Gemstone summoning him before the accident was not accidental, but rather a clear indication that he needed Odin to provide and confirm more detailed information...

The cause and effect of these two events are closely linked, which made Weber firmly believe in this judgment.

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Reines quickly flipped through these "precious manuscripts left behind by the Gem Elder," and soon noticed a sheet of paper with a lot of blank space. "Wait, this line isn't finished: 'Beware of the Beast...?'"

“Beast? I was attacked before I could finish writing, which further proves the identity of the attacker…” Reines suddenly realized.

"No wonder even the Old Man of Time struggled with this. But that doesn't mean it was Odin..."

"Beast and God are not contradictory!"

Weber shook his head. "On the contrary, the beings in mythology are far more qualified than most modern people to bear the horned crown of the calamity beast!"

"Brother! Then may I ask you, how do you explain this?"

Renes reluctantly flipped to another sheet of paper, on which was the content recorded by the Gemstone Elder regarding the "reversal of right and wrong" and "the origin of the Twisted Clock Tower" in the True History of the Dragon Clan.

"These also say that the construction of our Clock Tower was initially driven by Odin, and even Solomon, the father of magic, was Odin's puppet. Not to mention the claims about the seventy-two demons and that Odin is a dragon..."

"I certainly think these remarks are 'shocking,' but precisely because they were left behind by the Gemstone Elder, I have to think about them carefully!"

Weber's brow furrowed deeply, forming a frown line on his forehead.

This is also a habit he developed after taking over the throne from El-Melloi II, working diligently and cautiously within the Clock Tower, a group rife with internal strife:

No one in a high position can act arbitrarily in important matters; there must be a deeper meaning behind their apparent logic.

“Alright, brother, I’ll ask you a question now. If it really was Odin who did it, and these are all true, then why would He bother to attack the ‘Clock Tower’ that He worked so hard to build?”

Reines gave a forced smile and said, "Could it be... there's some deeper meaning behind this?"

Weber nodded seriously, "Of course... we can't rule out that possibility."

Reines: "?"

Dude, you've been working overtime all night, you've finally driven yourself crazy!

“Reines, to be honest, after I was possessed and became a pseudo-Servant, I also gained a memory from another timeline called the Chaldea Organization.”

"In that timeline, a series of major events occurred, the entire world was destroyed, and a person called the Demon King suddenly appeared, distorting human history to create singularities in an attempt to recreate everything."

"This catastrophe that burned away humanity has made everything disappear, burning everything into pure heat and nothingness."

"Wave said with a heavy heart. When he synchronized with the memories of that world line, he felt the gloomy, suffocating, and even despairing narrative tone."

Reines: "So?"

What does it prove if it's just a story of world destruction on another timeline? For this world, it's just another unusual tale worth recording.

"And the monsters that this Demon King commands are the Demon Pillars, the summons of Solomon, the monsters that ravage this clock tower."

"Let me show you this as well. This is the feedback record I just got from the Stone Soldier Eight Formations." Weber's most outstanding magical talent was analysis and identification, and he was confident that his judgment was correct.

"That demonic pillar was just a disguise. Look at the change in this wavelength. After Gray's Holy Lance attacked, it lost its disguise and turned into a dragon-headed monster."

Reines, skeptical, had Trimmau (the mercury maid transformed from moon spirit fluid) scan her, and found nothing suspiciously fake.

"..."

This is actually allowed?

“So,” Waver continued, “from this perspective, it’s not impossible that the seventy-two demons are dragons in disguise, and that the so-called Odin who has appeared here can be understood as the demon king of another timeline.”

"Then, continuing the deduction, the one who wields the dragon's body and head must be a dragon, or even a relatively high-ranking pure-blooded dragon."

"Therefore, it's not surprising that the reasons for targeting the Clock Tower—whether it's using the Clock Tower as a pretext for development, or even destroying the Clock Tower for direct control—are so far-fetched..."

Because the clock tower itself is not important; what matters is what lies beneath it.

Weber slowly uttered a place name, "—Albion, the Tomb of the Dead."

Albion, the Tomb of the Spirits, is the remains of the First Dragon. A treasure trove that the Clock Tower has failed to fully explore for millennia!

Dragon! A sign of an emperor!

......

Meanwhile, in Xueyuan City.

"We really don't know anything!"

"The Clock Tower could never possibly be related to Odin!"

Looking at the god-level barrier rising around them, imprisoning everyone, Luvia was truly exhausted.

What kind of mess is this?!

The first time I came to Snowfield City, I was imprisoned by Quetzalcoatl. The second time I came to Snowfield City, I was imprisoned by... a group of gods or something else.

What right do we, the El-Melloi II classrooms, have to deserve this!

Mashu and Ritsuka both looked at them with sympathy, "But what Mr. Lu Ming said is true."

"You might not know this, but from the very beginning, Snowfield City has had a strict prison system with strict entry and exit restrictions. Not just anyone can come and go as they please."

"So what happened?"

“Currently, apart from the members of the ‘Three Gods Alliance’ who have signed a contract with Odin, there is no one else,” Ritsuka pointed upstairs, “but there happens to be a passageway leading to the Clock Tower that people can freely enter and exit.”

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

Luvia stubbornly insisted, "It was just a coincidence, and it might not even be related to Odin..."

"Last time, when something unexpected happened in the city, it was almost overwhelmed by a large number of curses. According to the investigation into the source, the location it indicated was also in that passage."

"Isn't this unexpected turn of events also a coincidence?"

Luvia was momentarily speechless. "But...it's possible that another being used the Clock Tower's passage...This is a trap riddled with flaws..."

"Stop talking about those irrelevant things."

Lu Ming was too lazy to question these confirmed pieces of information again and again.

This time, he decided to ask from a different angle. After all, he was facing a new group of people, a new source of information, who might have other valuable information.

Moreover, this makes the intelligence appear more complete and the judgment of the Odin organization more accurate. Finally... this is also to prove that one has made progress in judging others and seeing people clearly.

There is absolutely no possibility that he will repeat the same misjudgment he made with Cú Chulainn!

"I'm asking you, your organizations' main research projects involve dragons... even, you have a lot of material related to dragons, right?"

Lu Ming brought up this topic.

He was reminded of the "Summer Mourning" incident mentioned in the prequel to the original "Dragon Raja" novel, which took place more than a hundred years ago... In that incident, the Secret Party seized the "dragon's corpse" and "Black King's flesh and blood," which resulted in an attack that nearly wiped them out. This was very likely orchestrated by Odin.

Furthermore, considering Odin's one-on-one battle with the Black Catfish in "Dragon Lord 1," it's easy to imagine that Odin had conducted countless studies on the Black Catfish in preparation for this event.

The other forces in this world certainly do not have such a foundation.

For some reason, Luvia felt a sudden panic. She thought the other person was probably asking about the spirit tomb. "Yes."

"Those dragon materials come from the oldest and most revered one on Earth, right?"

"Correct."

Lu Ming made the decision: "The evidence is conclusive. You colluded with Odin. The evidence is irrefutable!"

Volume 1: (Bonus Chapter 2/5) Chapter 155 matches perfectly; we were indeed harmed by Odin!

"I...you...this..."

Luvia's mouth opened wide, then her lips trembled. Perhaps out of anger, her words were incoherent and broken.

Lu Ming shook his head helplessly, seemingly shocked by this shocking truth.

Many people are like this: when faced with a horrifying truth, they are unwilling to accept it and prefer to use a negative attitude to cover up their true vulnerability.

Therefore, they would rather bury their heads in the sand and use lies and falsehoods as a glamorous facade, then treat this woven exterior as "reality."

"You must find it hard to accept the truth after hearing me tell you, right? You've lived in this place for so many years, yet such a thing is hidden here."

"Therefore, lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife."

Hiding in an information cocoon might become quite comfortable.

But when it comes to Lu Ming... he won't indulge these people.

Today, we will surely shatter the Odin Organization's facade!

We will thoroughly expose their despicable schemes, underhanded tricks, and shocking secrets hidden in the nooks and crannies!

"I can say this without any hesitation—"

“You people… well, you seem to be recent graduates, essentially clueless about the dark truth, especially those high-ranking figures above you, your ‘monarch’—”

"Their actions, the information they possess, and the targets they set their sights on can be described as 'outrageous,' 'trouble-making,' and ultimately leading to their own downfall—it wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"They didn't consider your feelings at all, nor did they care about the feelings of the millions of people at the bottom of society, those who provide labor. Instead, they preferred to treat them as disposable kindling..."

"..."

what?

Luvia initially thought Lu Ming might have made a mistake, but upon hearing the word "monarch" and the subsequent descriptions, she became certain that he was referring to the Clock Tower.

Although the narrative perspective seems to lean towards "ordinary people"?
