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

Before Adela could answer, Fadius tapped his knuckles on the table and continued:

"This percentage will be the vast majority!"

Due to the abstract nature of government departments in America, coupled with the stereotypes created by movies and entertainment, the public not only doesn't have much interest in government agencies, but also generally admires individual heroism.

"Because 'heroes' step forward, those who are unaware of the truth will believe such unfounded claims and be unable to discern the real facts. In doing so, they have done our job by covering up the truth of the mystical side."

"But once everything in Xueyuan City is over and things return to normal, even if we spend a lot of money to erase the memories of all the people, the oversight from last time will reappear, allowing similar audio and video files to be leaked through the internet."

"Other people will only believe the 'fabricated truth' rather than the truth of the mystical side. The various forces in the magic world will not blame us, because this has not violated the principle of mystery and secrecy."

Adela: "......"

So that's another way to explain it!

Book 1: Chapter 90 Tiamat: Need dragons? I have plenty.

"So that's how it is! The higher-ups have been hiding this all along. Our world actually has such incredible creatures as dragons..."

Amelia exclaimed in surprise, her tone devoid of any doubt.

This was truly an eye-opening experience. Various tropes and settings from science fiction, horror, and even fantasy films actually came to life on this day.

“Absolutely true.” Lu Ming nodded.

"In fact, it's not just Odin; this city you're in is also a disaster stemming from the bloodline contamination caused by His subordinates using dragon-blooded creatures. But even at this point, those powerful families who control the military and political high command are unwilling to reveal the truth..."

"Thank you for sharing this! Is it really true, as you said, that ordinary people with inferior bloodlines are not qualified to participate in such things? No wonder my sister... she always seemed to be hiding something from me."

Amelia sighed.

Her sister, Vera Levitt, was supposedly serving as an adjutant to Police Chief Orlando, leaving early and returning late every day, but seemed to be unclear about the details of her mission, which even her sister had no idea about.

Over the years, the two sisters have drifted apart. Especially recently, they have hardly seen each other at all.

So, my sister knows these 'truths' too...

Ishtar, who had been listening nearby, frowned and left.

The goddess is very unhappy.

Hmph, this kind of guy who blindly worships someone just because their life was saved is too easily fooled by Lu Ming's words.

The scenario she had imagined, where Lu Ming's outrageous remarks were treated as a joke by everyone outside, did not occur at all.

Why did she spend several hours working so hard to finish the manuscript?

It's all to let the world know how far removed from reality and utterly absurd Lu Ming's words are!

Ishtar left the still-smelling inpatient building and decided to check on the situation at the outpatient department.

Despite the numerous disasters that have occurred in this central hospital, several hundred civilians have still managed to survive, including patients, doctors, and caregivers.

From afar, I could see Aozaki Touko, Hiel, and a few others blocking the entrance, arguing about something. It seemed to be a conflict over the spoils of those vampire creatures, and they were having different opinions on how to handle them.

"I apologize, Grand Puppeteer, but our church considers this contamination left behind by the Dead Apostles..."

"Is discarding them the right thing to do? I think it's a huge waste. In the current situation, we should make better use of them to analyze and understand the enemy's methods..."

"I don't think you realize how serious this regional level of 'pollution' is—"

"Just like how your church deals with those corrupted agents?"

"Hey! Don't veer off-topic, that's an internal church matter—"

"..."

Ishtar leaned closer; she didn't care about such trivial matters, she was only curious about the other people's reactions to Lu Ming's words:

"Stop arguing, didn't you all hear what Lu Ming said on the radio?"

"I heard you, so what?"

The goddess tried to interject, but the response was lukewarm.

"Uh, what I mean is, how would you evaluate what Lu Ming said over the radio...?"

Hiel pondered for a moment and said, "This speech draft is well-written; your team leader is truly skilled!"

"Moreover, this is indeed a great thing. It is conducive to uniting people's hearts and minds at present. It sets up an ethereal 'dragon race' as a target for the enemy, and also avoids revealing the mystery."

Aozaki Touko nodded as well:

“I remember Lu Ming is someone who seems to be ‘from an Lostbelt world.’ What he said is probably closely related to the timeline he lives in.”

“I have a deep interest in this.”

She came to Xueyuan City on a commission to conduct an investigation, and Chengzi was overjoyed that Lu Ming, as the subject of the investigation, revealed more information.

Ishtar: "?"

This is not the scene I imagined. Lu Ming's reputation has risen instead of fallen?

Normal development shouldn't be like this!

You should raise strong doubts about Lu Ming's statement, and then start a general meeting where everyone starts arguing and bickering like in a vegetable market, escalating the conflict and turning it into a battle between gods and men, before terminating the cooperation and walking away on the spot.

Finally, I will seize the opportunity to take over, lead everyone to "set things right," thwart historical conspiracy theories, and embark on a bright future under the wise leadership of the great Lord Ishtar. Everyone will have a bright future!

How could you so readily accept his views and even come up with plausible reasons for them? It's outrageous! I don't accept it!

......

"Run! Mr. Saber, get away from that muddy mess!" The black-haired boy Sigma, clinging to the city wall, shouted at the top of his lungs into the distance.

"Danger!"

At that very moment, Richard I, the Lionheart, had just rescued Ayaka Sajou from the mud pit.

It's not that they easily wiped out Nero Chaos.

Just moments ago, the moment that dead disciple seemed to be ecstatically saying 'the principle is complete,' he merged into this black mud.

Richard I thought that it was somewhat of a good thing that the enemy had destroyed itself.

Then Sigma's urgent call came through his ear.

"Huh?" The blonde Saber blinked.

Could it be that there's something wrong with this dark, muddy substance?

Given the accuracy of Sigmar's previous intelligence reports, Richard I decided it was best to leave with his Master as soon as possible.

"Run, Ayaka!"

"Huh, huh..."

The blonde Ayaka remained silent, only panting heavily as Lionheart carried her away like a whirlwind.

I always felt that she had never exercised as much as she has today in her entire life.

The two quickly moved, and they were approaching the city walls that were besieging the city.

It's funny, really. We were just planning to avoid the city walls, but now we have to rely on these thick walls to protect ourselves from danger.

There are still 500 meters to the city wall.

“Watch out behind you!” Sigmar on the wall shouted again.

The mud churned and surged wildly, and out emerged a colossal monster as majestic as a lion and as ferocious as a dragon.

Pfft!

Richard I turned around instantly, wielding his sword fiercely. The spirit cores around him flickered, and arrows shot out from the blurry figure's hand, piercing the magical beasts simultaneously.

Four hundred meters to go.

Whoosh! Suddenly, five more demonic beasts surged out of the black tide, their massive bodies surging forward with a stench that filled the air.

“Ex——”

Richard I swung his sword again, "Calibur!"

The golden pillar of light surged, engulfing the ferocious beasts of the Age of Gods.

There are still 300 meters to go.

The mudslide surged again, as if the number of monsters was endless.

A massive number of ferocious beasts, resembling two-legged winged snakes, triceratops, and four-legged creatures with scorpion tails, surged out of the dark mud, exceeding a hundred in an instant!

These are Bashumu, Ushumugal, and the Angry Serpent Mushuhuxiu. Their defining characteristic is that they are all dragon-like magical beasts from Mesopotamia, belonging to the eleven sons of the primordial mother goddess Tiamat.

Two hundred meters to go.

"Does that mean it's never going to end? This is really going to be a nightmare."

Looking at the endless stream of divine dragon beasts emerging from behind, King Lionheart sighed inwardly and made a decision in an instant.

"Sigma! Please, catch my Master!"

With a flick of his wrist, the blonde swordsman tossed Ayaka Sajou onto the city wall as if she were a flying object!

"Aaaaaah—!" Ayaka, who was performing an aerial acrobatic act, couldn't help but scream in pain.

She gritted her teeth, thinking, "What normal Servant would just throw their Master up like an object?!"

Fortunately, Ayaka Sajou realized at this point that she was not a truly ordinary human being; otherwise, the force of that blow, hitting the solid wall, would have seriously injured her.

Splash!

In a flash, Sigma cast his grappling hook and caught Ayaka precisely. As a mercenary trained since childhood, his professionalism was quite impressive.

Ayaka Sajou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. This eccentric guy really didn't know how to cherish women!

Then, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, I'm up here, Saber, you..."

Looking back suddenly, hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands of more magical beasts surged forth from the mud tide, forming a terrifying army of dark ancient beasts that had already swallowed up the golden-haired swordsman's figure.

Volume 1: Chapter 91 The Prize Pool is Still Accumulating

Central Hospital.

Ellie tidied the ends of her golden hair with an impatient expression.

"What is that troublemaker running around for? This is a hospital. Everyone is either taking a break during shift changes or is extremely busy."

"She's got nothing better to do than disturb patients' rest and disrupt the normal work of doctors. What a mess she is!"

Just moments ago, Ai Lei had arranged for the large force to be stationed at the hospital and establish a base, when she heard news that a woman was inexplicably running around recklessly and acting strangely.

A quick inquiry revealed that it was indeed Ishtar who was causing trouble.

Tell me, why is it always you who gets caught? Look at your own shortcomings! Have you been doing your job? Has your pay increased? You've been in this team for so long, don't you have any sense of teamwork?

"Ishtar, what's wrong with her now?"

Lu Ming finally arrived at this time, his clothes in a rather disheveled state.

Ai Lei raised an eyebrow, stepped forward to straighten his clothes, and smoothed out the few corners of his shirt that were turned up.

"What's wrong? You're so late. The remaining enemies in the hospital shouldn't be too difficult to deal with, right?"

Upon closer inspection, one can detect a mix of unfamiliar perfume and cosmetic scents, varying in intensity.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. I really didn't expect the people here to be so warm and hospitable."

Lu Ming let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relaxation as if he had finally been freed from the tension that had been building for so long.

Thanks to his and the rest of his group's efforts in turning the tide and eliminating all the monsters in the hospital like autumn leaves being swept away, he gained a huge amount of reputation points from doctors and patients.

This led to Dr. Amelia and several nurses shouting and rushing to hug, pull, and tug at Lu Ming as soon as they saw him, since the "hero saves the beauty" trope never goes out of style.

Fortunately, this is a public place, and the external crisis has not yet been resolved, and the time for revelry is far from over, which has kept people somewhat clear-headed and rational.

"What are these women like? They have absolutely no self-respect."

Even if you're surrounded by monsters and feel depressed, and need to find someone to vent to, don't you even consider how much your looks are worth?

Ai Lei gave a soft snort, and only after confirming that Lu Ming wasn't interested in these common women did her expression soften.

After a brief exchange, Lu Ming learned the situation from Ai Lei, and he frowned as he listened:

What's wrong with Ishtar?

"Who knows, she looked awful, and she kept asking everyone she met how they felt about your radio speech..."
