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

At this moment, he thought of the group of human magicians that Nero had been monitoring earlier, and the "Remains of the Clock Tower Jewel King".

Some details begin to emerge: "The Celestial Lord was executed for following Odin's instructions and attempting to overthrow human reason."

"Chaldea was founded by the celestial monarch."

"Chaldea has always relied on Marisbury's family ceremonial attire—the Celestial Sphere Device—to oppose us under the guise of restoring human order."

Although it contains some fantastical tales and theories about dragons, putting those aside, all of the above are facts that have already occurred.

"Moreover, Odin (Lu Ming) himself admitted that he wanted to reshape the world and saw through my plan completely, choosing to be my enemy."

What a coincidence!

It's all such a coincidence.

There aren't that many coincidences in the world.

That's right, Odin is the being behind the celestial sphere! It turns out that He is his greatest rival all along!

Volume 1: (Three-in-One) Chapter 163 These really are all coincidences!

Despite some lingering doubts, the Demon King was becoming increasingly certain that it was no longer possible to say that the two were completely unrelated.

After all, locking themselves here to hunt down prey aligns with the interests of both Chaldea and Odin. The timing of the incident matches perfectly, and the motive is consistent.

The Demon King could even be certain...

That "true form of Odin".

Regardless of whether they are truly of one mind with Chaldea.

But while keeping the enemy locked up and using his clone (Lu Ming) to hold him back or even try to eliminate him, he will surely make a bigger move next!

Although it's temporary, we can't guess what the action will be.

However, what if things develop as I currently believe, that "Odin is the mastermind behind the celestial sphere"...

Next, Chaldea...

No, especially the celestial sphere, which will inevitably cause a large-scale disturbance in the real world!

Furthermore, since the other party is one of their own, if they can create such a large-scale change that is easily visible to the naked eye, then they are most likely targeting the human world!

The Demon King felt a chill run down his spine.

If my guess about how things will develop is wrong, that's fine, but what if it's right...?

That not only completely confirmed the information that "Odin = the mastermind behind the celestial sphere"!

This gave the other party a golden opportunity to complete their plan and execute it!

The benefits and impacts of doing this are too obvious! The other party wants to imprison all its competitors in this small cage in order to eliminate all interfering factors!

As for himself, whether he is imprisoned or killed by His clone (Lu Ming), it will not have much impact on Him. On the contrary, his own great cause, which he has planned for thousands of years, is about to die in the womb!

No, no... The Demon King simply cannot accept this ending!

Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little anxious.

This Odin (Lu Ming) is not the point! The most crucial point is to prevent His true form from taking any action first!

Whoosh!

With a sudden rise of his arms, the massive Grand Temple of Time, amplified and modified by Solomon's magic circuits, shone brightly and once again burst forth with astonishing magical energy fluctuations.

The Demon King, disregarding his own physical limitations, forcibly forced the Third Noble Phantasm to continue extracting and squeezing energy from its still-uncooled state, forcing it to operate.

buzzing...

Instantly, the enormous, scorching, and dazzling light wheel spun rapidly in a circular motion, like a radiant sun shooting out flames and emitting a rumbling sound.

The terrifying power of this moment even permeated the entire Temple of Time, causing the pillars in the long corridor to tremble. The complex array patterns of the huge hall, amplified by the magic circuits of Solomon's remains, also lit up with a crystal-white light.

The magnificent colors, like the sun, and the terrifying heat radiation, equally irrigate every inch of this world.

That blazing, fiery halo even outshone the light of the sky and the scorching sunlight!

People gradually realized what was happening and raised their heads to look up. They then saw the temple standing in mid-air and the dazzling giant ship that swept away the layers of clouds in the sky.

Lu Ming, who was still recovering through the Sea of ​​Life, immediately noticed it.

Whoosh-!

His divine aura instantly emanated, and in the blink of an eye, he completed his self-time acceleration, using the Divine Speed ​​Domain to swiftly leave his original location and even move far away from the Time Temple's range.

boom--!

The next second, the radiant torrent created by the third Noble Phantasm engulfed everything with unparalleled power and speed!

The platinum torrent swept across the vast sky, reaching the edge of Britain in the blink of an eye. The boundless sea of ​​clouds didn't even have time to escape before being pierced, pulverized, and evaporated within milliseconds!

Because Demon King Goetia operated his Noble Phantasm without regard to cost or burden, its coverage was so wide that it even exceeded the limits, seemingly making it several times more powerful than the originally planned third Noble Phantasm!

Even the "true form of Odin" in the distance was prominently featured.

Lu Ming had no intention of resisting again.

If it were just like before, a few seconds would be fine.

Relying on the continuous supply of life force from the Sea of ​​Life, coupled with the targeted defense measures he developed through his "instructor" personality, he can temporarily ensure his safety.

This is also why Lu Ming was able to engage in a verbal battle with the enemy while enduring their firepower.

However, even with the Sea of ​​Life fully extended, he was still unable to withstand the guy's exaggerated barrage of firepower for an extended period of time.

This requires continuous improvement, and the 'instructor' personality needs to make further adjustments based on the data feedback obtained from the second experience.

Therefore, taking all the above considerations into account, Lu Ming chose to temporarily avoid confrontation and retreat.

At the same time, they were secretly deeply anxious about such a fierce offensive, and couldn't help but sigh:

It actually concealed such explosive power... Odin's methods are truly terrifying!

No wonder the other party admitted that this plan could potentially travel to the past and create a new world.

Is this the culmination of Odin's thousands of years of accumulated success in the human world...?

No, is it just one of the directions?

In comparison, I am still too weak.

His accumulated knowledge is far from sufficient, and his combat experience is also lacking.

This time, they only fought the enemy a few times, but almost every time they were burned to ashes in the process of fighting the Great Light Wheel.

Although the defensive capabilities are being gradually improved, the battle was truly thrilling.

He never expected that as time went by, the enemies he faced would become increasingly powerful. He had relied too much on the original "Dragon Raja" novel and underestimated the dangers of the real world. Even a small avatar of Odin was not to be underestimated, given the opponent's thousands of years of experience and knowledge.

As Lu Ming felt the pain and itching of his body as the charred areas were quickly replaced by pinkish-white new flesh, he silently clenched his fists tightly.

It seems... I'll have no choice but to endure it for now.

Well, in Lu Ming's view, as long as one fails to charge straight at the enemy with the most decisive and fierce offensive and kill the enemy... as long as one fails to do the above actions when facing the enemy, it is all considered as enduring and hiding.

Although forbearance is humiliating and means losing face.

But it was a necessary step to regroup and return to the fight.

Lu Ming reminded himself not to lose sight of the bigger picture because of his pride and his hatred and temper towards Odin.

In order to regain the advantage and give the 'instructor' personalities within the Great Temple more time to adjust the defensive structure and transfer skill experience, so as to achieve better combat performance...

The current period of forbearance and keeping a low profile is worthwhile.

Even if he needs time to recover...

It lasted for a full ten seconds.

During this period, Lu Ming also noticed—

Odin (the Demon King) intentionally chose the scope of this massive and widespread bombardment, and even included the vast area where "Odin's true form" was located within the scope.

Presumably, Odin (the Demon King) intended to take this opportunity to eliminate his clones who were fighting against him. As for whether Odin (the Demon King) might intentionally use this opportunity to attack the "true Odin," Lu Ming didn't believe it at all.

Hmph, he saw through this match-fixing trick a long time ago!

It's worth noting that Odin and Tiamat had previously staged a similar scene outside Snowfield City. Therefore, it's not entirely impossible that Odin would reenact this scene here, with both sides going all out.

Put some effort into it! You actually plagiarized from this "original author," do you really expect him not to notice?

Although Lu Ming was already aware of the situation, he did not point it out openly.

This is a perfect opportunity to turn the tables on them.

To put on a show and go all the way.

They might as well just go along with the performance between Odin (the Demon King) and "Odin" and put on a show. This would also lull them into a false sense of security, making them think that their disguise was flawless.

At this moment, Lu Ming clenched his hand again, a faint pain emanating from the inside of his wrist. It seemed that new flesh was still growing and wriggling.

This means that he is not fully recovered.

"..."

Lu Ming was somewhat puzzled.

Based on the previous efficiency, my injury should have healed very quickly.

However, what puzzled him was that, not long ago, the scope and efficiency of this aid treatment from the Sea of ​​Life had gradually decreased.

He thought he should recover faster, which is why he dared to briefly confront Odin's (the Demon King) barrage of attacks again.

However, this slow treatment efficiency introduces many uncertainties out of thin air.

Therefore, the moment the Demon King unleashed another overloaded attack, Lu Ming chose to temporarily retreat.

He wanted to see exactly where the problem lay.

Perhaps this inefficiency...

This was also the result of Odin's planning and scheming.

That's terrible, Odin!

Lu Ming looked down at the surrounding area of ​​London, where the battlefield had clearly expanded.

The sounds of fighting, battle cries, and monster howls rose and fell. Every now and then, demonic pillars were cleaved and shattered by valiant warriors rushing forward, or demonic beasts were surrounded and hunted down by armies several times their size.

These monsters are all minions of the Beast. If the Beast is not eliminated, they will resurrect endlessly.

In Lu Ming's eyes, this was perfectly reasonable, because the regeneration efficiency of dragons was incomparable to that of humans, even hybrids. In fact, as long as the core 'egg' wasn't killed, they would only come back indefinitely.

On Lu Ming's side, they were relying entirely on the Sea of ​​Life he supported to hold the line across the entire battlefield. Both sides were engaged in a war of attrition, but if the enemy had a larger and more powerful force, they would inevitably be at a disadvantage...

That's it!

Lu Ming suddenly realized why the Sea of ​​Life was not recovering as quickly as it should.

"Hmm... So, it's because the output of the Sea of ​​Life, that is, its 'healing capacity,' is limited, and the consumption on the battlefield is increasing, which is why the supply here has decreased?"

After a moment's thought, Lu Ming quickly came up with a solution—wouldn't it be better to turn the tide of the ground battle and minimize the number of soldiers injured?

He first used the synchronization of thoughts between different personalities to instantly send the message to the 'instructor' personality inside the Great Temple below, instructing him to try to handle this important matter.

Then, Lu Ming summoned the true being hidden beneath the Sea of ​​Life, the one that nurtured all life.

Tiamat.

"child?"

"Is that woman over there also one of your compatriots?"

Lu Ming pointed to the edge of the city, to the woman in the red dress. Her body was covered in bright red dragon scales, and she had a tail that flicked from time to time.

He sometimes looked down to observe them closely, and some of those monsters covered in eyes were actually dragons she had created in disguise.

Because he had seen with his own eyes that some of the giant eyeballs and tentacles, once broken, would transform into monsters with dragon mouths, teeth, and claws.

Clearly, those were the opponent's dragon servants or corpse guardians. The monsters on the Demon King's side were the same; they were obviously dragon attendants of the same style and nature.

This woman is likely an ally recruited by Odin (the Demon King).

It remains to be seen whether Odin's former allies, like Quetzalcoatl and Tiamat, can reconcile their differences and turn enemies into friends.

If one is determined to launch a campaign against her, then one must carefully consider the countermeasures and the most suitable person to learn from her abilities.

So Lu Ming looked at it carefully again.
