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

Under the astonished gaze of the Demon King, Lu Ming's speed increased considerably as he traversed the torrent of light!

This was far different from his own prediction that Lu Ming would be severely hampered to the brink of death by this attack due to the acceleration of the treasure and the temporary change of direction!

The demons dwelling in the Temple of Time were also letting out astonished screams.

"Your Majesty! Immediate evacuation!"

"The enemy is accelerating through the beam stream!"

"It's different from last time; the wavelength has changed drastically! How did they manage to do that?"

The answer lies in the fact that the Great Temple of Valhalla behind Lu Ming provides a constant stream of experience and skill enhancements anytime, anywhere.

This improvement can even be traced back to its origins—

All that's needed is for the information gained from the experience and observations after being directly bombarded by the Great Light Wheel's cannon fire to be transmitted to the rear through Lu Ming's links with his other personalities for further iteration and optimization.

This will effectively improve Lu Ming's own coping strategies. Just as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly "intelligent" through multiple iterations of deep learning.

For example, Lu Ming previously attempted to use factors such as bloodline, elemental interference, dragon scales, and armor to crudely combine energy resistance and high-heat resistance in order to weaken and reflect the incoming light cannon.

So this time, Lu Ming's solution became to use runes, bloodline, divinity, authority, martial arts, and so on to work together as a unified whole, effectively deflecting the flames of the Demon King's third treasure as much as possible!

This improvement is actually modeled after the magnificent, giant halo that floats and rotates endlessly behind the Time Temple buildings above the Demon King's head.

That kind of giant beam ring containing a massive amount of high-heat elements.

This reminded Lu Ming of a circular particle accelerator in physics. The Temple of Solomon, hovering in the center, resembled the beam guiding system of that particle accelerator, only accomplished using a massive alchemical matrix.

Once you understand the principles and structure, it's not difficult to crack and reverse engineer them.

In high-energy physics, a ring accelerator is a device that allows accelerated particles to move at a certain energy level within a circular structure. Unlike linear accelerators (Linac), the structure of a ring accelerator can continuously accelerate particles, with a theoretical upper limit of the speed of light.

No, it's not even the speed of light. Because elements are not ordinary particles. Judging from the "time reversal" of the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy, elements can even escape the constraints of relativity and travel through time!

'So Odin created this avatar to travel back in time?'

At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly had a brilliant idea.

However, the function of a particle accelerator is simply to continuously produce high-energy particles through continuous acceleration. According to basic physics, given a sufficient scale, the upper limit of this energy level can be continuously increased.

"I remember there was a solar accelerator in 'The Three-Body Problem,' which orbited the sun once in Jupiter's orbit. It was said that this kind of super accelerator could accelerate particles to the primordial energy of the Big Bang..."

'However, this halo isn't that big. Even if we take a broad estimate based on its diameter being at most slightly larger than Earth and its elemental particles being 'higher' than ordinary particles, what Odin made...'

'At most, it could accelerate creation energy to the level of Earth's birth?'

'If this thing is truly 100% complete,'

Even with his conservative estimate, Lu Ming was still somewhat shocked.

No wonder Odin could so easily perform incredible alchemical feats like time reversal and world line restarts...

So, the path He chose was to create different incarnations to try out different evolutionary routes for Him?!

The more you let other avatars take the fall for you or try new paths, the more achievements you accumulate, and the more your skills and strength will grow!

As he traversed the torrent of light, Lu Ming's mood grew increasingly heavy as his thoughts wandered.

If this "Odin" were to actually make the way and complete the plan, what would happen?

If there were even the slightest possibility that He could successfully travel back in time and obtain that primordial energy of Earth, Lu Ming couldn't even imagine what Odin would do with it.

Lu Ming could only imagine that His first goal was, just as planned, to replace the Black King, the "old god," and make Himself the "new god."

However, Odin's friendliness towards humans was nowhere near as great as that of the Black King! If Odin were to become the 'god of Earth,' he would probably enslave or exterminate humanity out of fear of their future civilizational progress!

This is no ordinary incarnation; we must seize the opportunity to kill it quickly!

Following the structure of the giant light band, the runes, dragon blood, and elements around Lu Ming formed a circular cycle.

Under the terrifying onslaught of the Demon King's third Noble Phantasm, this structure continuously crumbled and collapsed, yet under the precise stress structure and the control of divine authority, it firmly reformed itself in the next second.

These aggregate structures are like invisible little hands, grabbing a sliver of intense light from the endless beams of light coming from the front.

Then, by using the principle that particles are accelerated in a ring and finally emitted, the incoming light and heat are redirected to a new direction after being deflected, and collide with other light and heat filaments!

Rumble, rumble—!

The constant muffled thuds from the various collisions echoed around Lu Ming.

'This...this is impossible!'

The Demon King's reaction was even more astonished than when Lu Ming forcibly broke through last time.

Now that he was slightly closer, he confirmed that Lu Ming possessed a light band converging structure similar to the Third Treasure, "The Time of Birth Has Arrived, Thus Correcting All Things." The light and heat emitted by this structure were constantly being deflected and canceled out by smaller bursts of light and heat emitted from it!

"You are powerful, that's true, but you can't stop me!"

The sound came from the magnificent light and heat, and the pitiful appearance was like a demon crawling out of purgatory.

At this moment, Lu Ming's skin and muscles were still being continuously invaded and scorched by the endless light and heat that penetrated, and his white bones were faintly visible.

However, this situation has already exceeded expectations and is much better than the last time. According to the forecast, at least 30% of the light and heat have been deflected or deflected a second time.

In other words, the power of the third Noble Phantasm against Lu Ming had clearly decreased by at least 30%! And indeed, several seconds later, Lu Ming's figure, which was submerged in light and heat, remained intact!

This bizarre rate of progress almost drove the Demon King to a standstill.

you......

Is it a person?

Oh wait, even for Odin, this is ridiculous enough!

'How did they manage to imitate this? Is the Supreme God really that powerful?!'

The Demon King was still somewhat unwilling to admit defeat.

'But regardless, Odin, your true form has already manifested! Even if your avatar resists to this extent, it cannot change the fact that your true form is over there!'

In that instant, waves of magical roars emanated from the Demon King's enormous temple, and hordes of massive and twisted demonic pillar monsters appeared.

While Lu Ming was traversing the stream of light and attacking the Demon King, they all rushed towards the direction of "Odin's true form"!

Lu Ming witnessed this scene.

Are you going to pull this stunt again?

Hmph, do you really think I would abandon my real body just because this clone is a threat?

Whoosh!

Below, the Sea of ​​Life surged forth with a roar, and several figures identical to Lu Ming suddenly flew rapidly in the opposite direction from the main body.

Those were not low-end mass-produced products made on short notice, but combat clones equipped with martial arts, runes, and many other personalities!

Judging by their posture, they're just about capable of stopping the Demon Pillars!

"Stubborn fool! I've seen through your plan long ago! Just how far are you going to go wrong?!"

After doing all this, Lu Ming roared loudly. In the dense torrent of light and heat, his voice sounded especially hoarse and distorted, like a vengeful ghost, but the anger in his tone could still be clearly conveyed.

As the Demon King frantically increased the output of his light wheel, he roared, "And what do you know about our plans?!"

"Of course I know! Traveling back in time to obtain primordial energy and recreate planets! Such ambition is terrifying!"

"Even putting all that aside, the energy and aura you've accumulated are enough to make it difficult for me to resist."

"In conclusion, you are too dangerous, I'm going to defeat you!"

They keep saying "it's hard to keep going"...

But the moment he finished speaking, Lu Ming's figure broke through the vast torrent of light and heat.

Transforming into a sharp divine spear that moved at lightning speed, piercing through the clouds and splitting the sky, its body taut, it struck the Demon King horizontally!

"Very well, you're right, you do understand our plans and great undertakings!"

"But even you can't stop my plan!"

Lu Ming's words immediately enraged the Demon King, who chose to confront him head-on.

They say he's too dangerous, his attacks are hard to defend against...

But shouldn't Lu Ming be the one in the most danger and whose offensive is the hardest to withstand?

The Demon King, not to be outdone, unleashed astonishing magical power, simply countering his opponent with his rapidly exploding fists.

Countless fist shadows, coupled with the demonic power unleashed by the fists, created a terrifying energy that, if placed on the ground, would be enough to blast mountains apart and evaporate oceans in a short time. One can only imagine the power that would erupt when concentrated on a single person.

But in Lu Ming's eyes...

"Fancy and over-the-top!"

"No matter how many moves you have..."

The demonic eyes, as blazing as the sun, flashed, revealing the flaws and weaknesses formed by the "lines" in Lu Ming's eyes.

He remained calm and composed, bracing his charred body and moving with the agility of a fish in water. At the same time, he stretched out his arm, seized the brief pause between the Demon King's attacks, and launched a counterattack instantly!

"I'll break it with a single punch!"

boom!

It was as if a super typhoon had swept through in a split second; the Demon King Goetia's body was instantly shattered and then blown away by the terrifying impact.

The aftershocks spread outwards, reaching the vicinity of the massive Temple of Time. The pristine white and solemn temple pillars collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the neat and beautiful moon-white steps lurched and crumbled. Dense, spiderweb-like cracks and collapses spread across half of the Temple of Time.

"Cough, cough..."

Before long, relying on his immortality, the Demon King's figure reappeared.

The Temple of Time then began to repair itself.

'Damn... I didn't expect that even just Odin's clone (Lu Ming) would be so powerful...'

The Demon King looked at Lu Ming, who was gradually recovering using the Sea of ​​Life, not far away, and felt shocked and angry.

'So, just how powerful is that true form of Odin...?'

He glanced at the battlefield situation of the Demon Pillars and immediately noticed that Odin's true form was charred black, clearly indicating that he had not escaped the bombardment range of the Third Noble Phantasm.

At the same time, several "Lu Ming" were also fighting against the Demon God Pillar, and the scope of their battles also included "Odin's true form".

The "Odin in his true form" had just blocked the collective magic power of the demon pillars with his spear a moment ago, but the next moment, "Lu Ming" who came from behind kicked his warhorse to pieces!

'A clone attacking the main body? How is that possible? Is it just a deliberate act?'

As for... the suspicion that Lu Ming is not actually an Odin clone.

This situation was not even included in the Demon King's options.

It should be noted that after this considerable period of fighting, the Demon King, with his own knowledge, has figured out that Lu Ming's fighting style relies heavily on a large number of primordial runes and Valhalla rituals.

Even their standard armor and weapons exuded the same aura as "Odin's true form"! And the weapons and armor wielded by Lu Ming's troops, who were fighting the demonic beasts below, also carried the same aura and style!

Furthermore, what kind of person would receive such treatment if not an avatar of a great god? Could it be an enemy of the great god? But how could the temple be allowed to be taken away intact by an enemy?

Therefore...

Odin (Lu Ming)'s actions this time, besides eliminating himself, might also be a scheme to use his true form to carry out other actions...?

Moreover, it must be an action that would make the situation develop in a way that is detrimental to oneself.

The Demon King became suspicious and uncertain.

What would that be?

The collective of demons began frantically brainstorming conclusions, searching for all sorts of possibilities, and scrutinizing every detail in light of the current situation...

and many more!

The Demon King suddenly thought of a strange detail: when did the Chaldea Master appear in this timeline?

This occurred before our "Peeping Star" and "Observatory" institutions discovered the coordinates of the Chaldea headquarters and launched the invasion!

When did Odin set a trap in the clock tower of this timeline, until the Beasts fell into it without realizing it?

It happened within the Chaldea organization when the celestial sphere suddenly malfunctioned, releasing a powerful magnetic field to interfere with the Demon Pillar's intrusion and beginning to block detection!

The timing is exactly the same!

Phenomena that seem to be from different timelines and have no connection are suddenly and seamlessly linked together at this moment!

The Demon King was alarmed and on high alert. The celestial sphere... Odin... Could there be some kind of cooperation between the two?

Do not!
