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

Chapter 331 henxin
"Stay here."

"There's no need to try anymore."

"In this world where the Black King is dead, let things continue as they are. You chose your younger brother, Lu Mingze, didn't you?"

Caesar spoke, word by word.

"A person who can't give up anything will get nothing."

"You sacrificed everyone except Lu Mingze, and this is the result you got. Admit it."

"."

Lu Mingfei listened to Caesar's words in silence.

Indeed, Caesar was right.

All his efforts so far have been taken from Lu Mingfei's perspective, and without a doubt, he has done his best and tried his best.

However, the Black King was never defeated.

Perhaps in the countless worlds created by [Word of Power. Possession], Lu Mingfei could grow into an extraordinary figure, but he would never be able to return to the 'real world' and defeat the Black King.

If Lu Mingfei goes back now, it will likely trigger the Black King's resurrection.

At that time, he will fall into a coma, and all his comrades will die in battle.

Lu Mingfei was able to accept his own death, and even accept that he and his companions were heading towards the abyss of certain death.

As a mercenary, he often experienced the terror of death and believed he was already capable of facing it.

But the one thing he couldn't accept was that 'he was unconscious in bed while his companions died one by one because of him.'

but------

"Maybe this time we'll succeed?"

Under Caesar's gaze, Lu Mingfei said, "Your 'Lu Mingfei Returns from ***' plan, with its twisted name, might just succeed this time?"

Caesar frowned. "Didn't you hear what I just said—Nono has collapsed, and the plan has been shelved."

"That's why I said 'this time.' Maybe this plan isn't just shelved, but has already been realized?"

Lu Mingfei said seriously.

"You lost last time—was it because I didn't play?"

"This time, I will [trade]."

The moment he uttered those words, Lu Mingfei could feel Lu Mingze within him tremble.

If it's just a one-time transaction, it won't kill Lu Mingfei or Lu Mingze. However, precisely because the "cost" is so small, the potential gain is also very small.

Originally, the effect of the [transaction] should increase with the number of times it is done, because it represents Lu Mingfei accepting his own destiny, accepting the divine authority and divine status of 'Odin' which has completely disappeared, and sacrificing 'Loki' Lu Mingze in exchange for power of the same level.

That is, using the power of Loki, the god of trickery, to 'deceive' the gods and pretend that he has returned to 'Odin'.

That's why he could say such 'usurping' words to all the Dragon Kings.

But a single transaction is far from having that effect; at most, it can only make Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze faint in a split second, with a much higher probability of them fainting.

There's no point in not using the fourth transaction.

So what I'm about to say is just Lu Mingfei's impulsive words.

"Having experienced cyberpunk and so much, I am still just a mortal, but also the supreme leader whom all humanity on Earth relies on. So, even if my soul is shattered into dust, I will try my best to maintain balance with Lu Mingze."

"I will not fall. Until the very last moment, I will fight [the Black King (I)]."

"Look, Caesar, this time, I will win."

Trust me.

Lu Mingfei said this.

Lu Mingfei firmly stated his decision.

But on the throne, Caesar's nostalgic gaze was averted as if stung.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a shadow fell between his brows.

Yes.

What Lu Mingfei described was indeed a future worth looking forward to.

Just like they used to say.

“But unlike you, who has never failed, I have always failed.”

With his brows furrowed, the man suddenly stood up from his throne.

He looked down at Lu Mingfei.

"I can never go back to the way things were before."

"Those lines really have a cinematic feel to them." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but laugh out loud. How could he not laugh, after all—

"By the way, after we finish this fight, I have something to say to you, um, a couple of words." — Ah.

fight.

At this point, as friends, even if they are not on the same timeline or in the same world, they should understand each other.

Why would Caesar build a room resembling a demon's castle within a spatial city like the Crystal Palace?
It is not 'as if'.

That's the Demon King's Castle.

Caesar knew his place; he called himself the Demon King and hoped—no, he was certain—that Lu Mingfei would come to challenge him!

He will uphold his self-respect and respond with all his might.

The winner will decide the future.

"It's two against one here."

"I have decades of technical expertise, and besides, who says I'm not facing a two-on-one situation?"

Caesar waved his arm behind him, and soon, the familiar silver came into Lu Mingfei's field of vision.

A slender, elongated body, and a Japanese samurai sword dragging on the ground.

"That is."

V became alert.

Silver Knight

The monster that Lu Mingfei and V couldn't gain the upper hand with their combined strength back then has reappeared, confirming that Caesar has indeed been monitoring them all along.

But unlike last time, this time, the Silver Knight slowly removed his mask.

"!"

Of the two, only V had ever seen his face.

Although V had described it to Lu Mingfei, the boy didn't realize it at the time, only having some vague guesses.

After the battle with Pompeii and fighting alongside Chu Zihang, his vague guesses became clearer and clearer.

Until now
The silver-armored knight's knuckles gripped the edge of the visor, the metal hinges making a crisp "click." As the visor slowly lifted, a sharply defined jawline was revealed.

A gust of wind swept across a few strands of black hair on his forehead, the hair breaking free and casting dappled shadows on his pale skin.

The full face is revealed, with a nose bridge as straight as a snow line cutting across the midline of the face, thin lips pressed into straight geometric lines, and dark gold irises in the eyes.

"Senior brother, it really is you."

Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly.

This is most likely not the real Chu Zihang.

In this timeline, Chu Zihang is already dead.

Even worse, it died before the relic fully matured, and could not be resurrected in any form.

So, this is just an existence with Chu Zihang's body and his 'instincts'.

That's why he only made moves against Lu Mingfei during the last battle in Arasaka Tower.

It really is.
"Let me make this clear first—I've become stronger."

Lu Mingfei grabbed to the right with his arm.

The simultaneous effects of [Judgment] and [Heaven and Earth as Furnace] caused the elemental reserves within the body to rapidly decline, but the blade also formed accordingly.

He grabbed the [Pseudo-Seven Deadly Sins] with one hand, held the blade horizontally, and aimed it at Chu Zihang and Caesar.

“Is that so? But I also have something to say—by the way, I learned this phrase from you, Lu Mingfei.”

Caesar inserted his fingers into the holes in the armrests of his throne.

"The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology."

The dark compartments below receded like scales, and a silvery-gray fluid composed of nanounits rapidly spread from the point of contact. Metal particles, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, climbed rapidly along the texture of Caesar's suit, gathering in an arc at his chest.

【Buzz————————】

"Hey you!—"

Lu Mingfei's expression changed.

His expression was very complicated.

Three parts surprise, three parts caution, and three parts...
envious?

"henxin".

"Caesar, you bastard!!!"
