Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 328 Now
coming.

Lu Mingfei had always wanted to know what the Black King really was.

Whether it's the "doomsday prophet" or Odin, who can travel through time to a certain extent, neither of them speaks of this existence.

The only world that Lu Mingfei knows of that has reached the 2077 timeline is the present, which is Caesar himself standing in front of him.

"If you want me to tell you what the Black King looks like—I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I can tell you the conclusion first: [This era is an era without the Black King's resurrection]."

Caesar's words enlightened Lu Mingfei.

There has been no recovery.

That is to say-

"The conditions for the Black King's resurgence!" *2
The speaker emphasized the words, which startled Lu Mingfei, who then looked at V beside him.

The girl was leaning against a stone pillar, watching the battle with her arms crossed. When she saw Lu Mingfei looking over, she raised her eyebrows and said, "What, you two have been chatting for so long, I've almost figured out what's going on."

"."

Caesar and Lu Mingfei tacitly avoided wasting time on this topic.

Lu Mingfei: "What are the conditions?"

Caesar: "You."

Without hiding anything, Caesar drew his conclusion directly.

indeed
[First Timeline]: Lu Mingfei completed four transactions, and the Black King fell into a deep sleep.

[Second Timeline]: Lu Mingfei completes three transactions, and Black King is revived.

"We speculate that [Lu Mingze] is [a part of the Black King in some form]. In terms of evolution, Lu Mingze may even be the 'human' form of the Black King, that is, a molted body. Furthermore, Lu Mingze is too deeply entangled with Lu Mingfei. If the existence of Lu Mingze/Lu Mingfei is not mature enough, it will lead to the restart of the [Black King]."

"Did we lose?"

"."

After a half-second silence, Caesar nodded.

"We lost. It was a crushing defeat."

"We thought that, like with Odin, we could all work together and figure things out, and that would be the end of it. But that time it didn't work. We were no match for that thing. So far, no opponent has been able to compare to that monster. It was a primordial calamity that could annihilate human civilization."

"Chu Zihang is dead."

"Principal Angers is dead."

“Eri Uesugi, Chisei Genji, Chisato Genji, the student council, the Lionheart Society, they are all dead.”

Lu Mingfei clenched his fists. Although he didn't completely believe what they said, he seemed to see those scenes.

My dead comrades.

That nightmare that Lu Mingze showed himself.

In those ruins, when Chu Zihang grabbed his hand and hissed, "You could have saved us all," Lu Mingfei had a vague feeling.

But there is still a question.

"And me?"

"You didn't play."

"Because you only exchanged souls three times, you did not eliminate Lu Mingze's soul as the Dragon King. I speculate that your weak human soul was gradually worn down until you almost lost consciousness and approached death."

“I lost everything, but through Nono’s profile I was able to observe the memories of the previous world. I realized that it was my arrogance that led things to this point.”

Caesar sighed softly, as if telling someone else's story.

“I was delusional to try to save everyone, including whatever you wanted to save. I thought I could prevent you from becoming a lonely king, but I was wrong. I failed. I messed everything up.”

"Finally, you awoke at the end of the first year of the Black King's rampage across the world and used the exchange for the last time to kill the Black King."

"The timeline has converged, but this time, we have lost almost all of our partners. It is worse than the first timeline. Lu Mingfei should have been reincarnated again, but he was seriously injured and fell into a coma during his fight with the Black King."

All the effort ultimately led to an even more desperate and terrible result.

"To be honest, I didn't know what to do at that time. But if I had to say something, I knew that I wanted to wake you up, or at least say sorry to you."

"but--"

"Your consciousness was confused, and your extremely unstable mental elemental signals were used by Bartmouth to create a virus. He originally intended to use this to deter the company, but the hybrid community chose to detonate the virus directly before that, causing the network world to collapse."

“I can’t stop them by myself, so I’ve chosen this path.” Caesar waved to Lu Mingfei.

"As you can see."

“An established, deeply rooted alliance with shared interests is unbreakable. If you can’t beat them, you can only join them, let them indulge in pleasure, and give up all their advantages. Now, I can easily take control of this place and turn the hybrid forces into my personal fiefdom.”

"Of course, that's just the surface reason. More importantly, it's because I need to concentrate resources to serve my purposes."

With a snap, the sound of fingers snapping echoed through the empty hall.

The curtain behind Caesar gradually rose, revealing figures such as [Arasaka Yoriyuki] and [Arasaka Saburo].

“I am very interested in Relic technology, which was developed by Outcanning.”

"However, precisely because this technology is so important, I cannot expose it to other board members, lest they discover my plan. That's why I had him secretly research it within the Arasaka family for a long time."

"And now, he can not only help me to numb all the noble classes, but more importantly, he can help me achieve immortality and even time travel technology."

He spoke as if nothing had happened.

"Think about it, humans probably can't go back to the past, but if it's just about 'sending information or inorganic matter to the past,' the difficulty will be reduced by a level. The essence of Relic is the high-precision application of mental elements."

“Spiritual elements are entities that correspond to concepts such as time and space.”

Therefore, the spiritual element itself does not contain the element of time.

"The spirit is an existence that is not controlled by human one-dimensional time perception."

Caesar studied the soul almost obsessively, trying to help Lu Mingfei wake up.

He was in a dead end, but Nono did find a way.

That's right, at this moment, the identity of this person who has many connections with both Lu Mingfei and Caesar is finally about to be revealed.

Chen Motong.

Dark pupils can be simply described as "the eyes of the Black King."

This is the name Pompeii gave it, so it must have a deeper meaning.

But is Chen Motong the Black King?

Not right either.

Because Chen Motong is clearly a descendant of the White King.

Moreover, although the Black King's Eyes seem to explain Chen Motong's all-seeing 'profile,' there is no record of Nidhogg having such power in Norse mythology.

Omniscience is an extremely rare concept in Norse mythology, and the most famous holder of it is bound to the eyes—

There should only be one correct answer.

Odin

Yes.

In the myth, Odin recounts, "For nine nights I hung from a tree swaying in the wind, wounded by spears; I was offered as a sacrifice to Odin, a self-sacrifice, on a great tree unknown to anyone! There was no bread to eat, no water to quench my thirst. I looked down, picked up the runes, and cried out as I did so, before falling from the tree."

Odin lost an eye and gained the wisdom of the Runes.

Odin is the one who lost his eyes.

But Chen Motong's presence at this moment alerted the Black King's eyes.

--------

A terrifying thought formed in Lu Mingfei's mind.

Nidhogg is a symbol of the end times, yet this dragon never appeared on the battlefield during Ragnarok, nor did it personally lead the army, even though its size was boasted of.

Many people interpret this as a mysterious event, an unfathomable beast.

However, if we simply equate Nidhogg with the harbinger of Ragnarok...

The reason the future is unavoidable is also because the outcome is predetermined through observation. Therefore, the unavoidable Ragnarok can perhaps be understood as being caused by Odin's 'omniscience'.

This means Nidhogg = Odin = the Death of the Gods.

To be honest, it was only then that Lu Mingfei suddenly realized what was going on.

—The image of Odin in Pompeii.
Although he always appeared in the form of Odin, he never admitted, no, not even once claimed to be Odin!
