A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 431 Plan Failed? Seeking Help from the Main Body

"The Church of the Old Ones?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. The Black King Nidhogg planned to devour the two brothers and go to the Church of the Old Ones?

Lu Mingze was quite serious: "Brother, you don't know, you haven't actually witnessed the terror of the past, that gray fog..."

Lu Mingze was still wary of the gray fog, after all, he had secretly tried to remove the worms from Renata's soul several times, but he was unable to do so. He also dared not go all out, for fear that it would attract the attention of the gray fog.

Even now, the worm in Renata's soul remains unresolved, which only strengthens Lu Mingze's belief in the existence of the Old Ones, leading him to conclude that the Old Ones are indeed far superior to Nidhogg the Black King.

Based on this, Lu Mingze was even misled by the Old Church and increasingly believed that the Black King might be a remnant of the Old Church.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the spiritual sword stuck on the island, then covered his head, which was itchy and felt like it was about to grow a brain. He had received too much information in a short period of time, making him dizzy and lightheaded: "What do we do now?"

"I don't want to think about the relationship between the Black King and the Old Days anymore. Could you please leave first? I need to go out and explain myself."

After talking for so long, Lu Mingfei would never lay a hand on Lu Mingze again. Listen to this: Lu Mingze is his younger brother. The two of them were once one soul, both residing in the Black King's dragon body, relying on each other for survival.

Even during the final rebellion of the Eight Princes, Lu Mingze protected Lu Mingfei's remnant soul and has been repairing it ever since. Even when Herzog captured him and took him to Black Swan Harbor for various extraordinary experiments, he never gave up on repairing Lu Mingfei's soul.

After learning about Lu Mingze's sacrifices, how could Lu Mingfei possibly bring himself to do it? He could only hope that Lu Mingze would have some self-awareness and leave his mental state.

“Brother.” Lu Mingze’s eyes were even more strange, with a kind of weariness that made all his words seem pointless: “Don’t you understand? My body is sealed by Gungnir, only my spirit can move.”

“But without the protection of a body, the spirit will only dissipate faster when it is active in the material world. Brother, if you drive me away, I can only go back to my body and sleep. Now that the Black King has been revived, if I sleep again, we will both be devoured by Nidhogg sooner or later.”

"To break this deadlock, brother, you must pull out Gungnir, release me, and then we must work together to kill the Black King in order to survive."

……

While the Lu brothers were having their subconscious conversation, Lu Lincheng was still looking at the sleeping Lu Mingfei with concern.

Qiao Weini pinched her eyelids in annoyance: "Still pretending? Getting addicted to acting?"

Lu Lincheng didn't turn around, and his concerned expression didn't even change: "Hehe, don't say that. After all, he's the first child who's willing to call us Mom and Dad. What's wrong with showing some concern?"

"The more we care about Lu Mingfei, the more guilty he will feel towards us. The more guilty he feels towards us, the smoother the plan will go."

“Unlikely.” Dudley pushed up his glasses and dismantled Lu Lincheng’s platform: “The Seven Kingdoms’ Spirit Reforging Alchemy Matrix left by Odin was only activated in a small part, providing weapons to Lu Mingfei in his subconscious.”

"It's been so long, and most of the alchemical matrices are still in a silent state, which means the plan has failed. Lu Mingfei doesn't want to kill or drive away Lu Mingze. Maybe they've even started discussing how to break Lu Mingze's seal."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lincheng's expression changed instantly, all concern vanished, and his tone turned as cold as the wind and snow: "Then what should we do? We can't let Lu Mingze, this unstable element, run amok. We must deal with him here."

"Moreover, Bao Lie contacted us through Yuanbao. His main body has learned through divination that Nidhogg's soul is hidden deep within Lu Mingze's soul. According to his main body's idea of ​​raising dragons, we need to take down Nidhogg."

Qiao Weini and Duden were in perfect sync, both pointing their index fingers to the sky. Qiao Weini pointed her index finger upwards as if to say, "Do we even need to ask? If we can't handle it, we'll just ask the real thing."

Duden chimed in, "Since the original body has become a god, there are plenty of ways to deal with it."

Lu Lincheng patted his forehead. He possessed memories from before he separated from his original body, before the original body became a god. He had actually overlooked this fact: "How do we find it? Is it right here? Won't Lu Mingze find out?"

"Tch." Qiao Weini wasn't worried at all: "How could he possibly find out? Lu Mingze is busy chatting with our precious son deep in his consciousness, he can't spare a single thought to pay attention to the outside world."

"Then what are we waiting for? If we can't handle it, we'll call in reinforcements, people who can." Lu Lincheng was decisive, asking for help without hesitation: "Playing with the hands of time, roaming the shadows of fate..."

A hazy, indistinct gray fog descended and quietly enveloped the area. Xu Lie was able to directly receive the prayers of his clones and learn that the Harbor clones were plotting against Lu Mingze, but the plot failed halfway through due to Lu Mingfei's soft heart.

The Time Worm that parasitized Lu Lincheng was also shameless: "Main body, look, this is how it is, it's urgent, please help me quickly."

Even without Lu Lincheng's request for help, Xu Lie himself would have taken action. After all, when he stole the heart of the giant black catfish and sent his clone to parasitize it, it was Lu Mingze's soul energy that annihilated that clone.

Although it was just a clone, Xu Lie, as the original body, still held a grudge and wanted to seek revenge for his dead clone: ​​"Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze are deep in their subconscious?"

"That makes things easier. People always subconsciously perceive various scenarios, and it's inevitable that they'll see some erroneous ones." ...

Deep down, Lu Mingfei had lost his will to fight Lu Mingze, but he also rejected Lu Mingze's plan: "No, if I break the seal and release you, what if you seek revenge on Dad?"

Yesterday, Lu Lincheng told Lu Mingfei that it was Lu Lincheng who personally inserted Gungnir into Lu Mingze's heart, and that the two had an old grudge.

Even though Lu Mingze believed that Nidhogg, the Black King, was the brothers' biological father, Lu Mingfei would not think so. He always regarded Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini as his biological parents, and he cherished the paternal and maternal love that Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini gave him, and his feelings would not waver.

Lu Mingze's pupils narrowed slightly. He secretly resented Lu Lincheng for brainwashing Lu Mingfei, but on the surface he had to pretend to understand: "You misunderstood me, brother. I have a heart too. I can feel everything you have been through deep in your mind."

“I also long for the support Lu Lincheng gave my brother, and the care Qiao Weini showed him.”

“Brother, do you think you’re the only one who needs parental love? Do I not need any care from my family? Back then, Lu Lincheng was just following orders. I promise you, after the seal is broken, I will treat them as my parents.”

Lu Mingfei didn't hide his emotions at all. His eyebrows were raised high, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He was extremely happy. If everyone could be happy like this, there would be no problem in releasing Lu Mingze.

Yes, Lu Mingze could sense everything about Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei was so moved by his parents' concern that he almost cried several times. Lu Mingze must feel the same way! Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

The main reason is that Lu Mingze knows Lu Mingfei too well. He made himself sound a little lonely and pitiful. Lu Mingfei, a loser who has been through the rain, would definitely hold an umbrella for others, especially his own brother Lu Mingze.
After more than ten years of loneliness, Lu Mingfei was finally reunited with his parents. He was so happy and eager to share the warmth and happiness with them, and Lu Mingze was undoubtedly the most suitable person to share it with.

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei was very happy: “I’ll go out and tell my parents right away. No, I have to keep it from Mr. Duden. If the other members of the committee find out, my parents will be in trouble too.”

Lu Mingze's heart, which had been in his throat, finally calmed down. Lu Mingze trusted his brother very much, but his brother often did all sorts of things that left people speechless. For example, his attempt to revive the Dragon Priestess by gouging out her eyes in ancient times was something that really made Lu Mingze lose his mind.

Lu Mingze was really afraid that Lu Mingfei had just tried to drive him away without distinguishing right from wrong. Fortunately, his brother still loved him.

Having achieved the desired result, Lu Mingze was also pleased and lightly led the way: "Let's go, I'll see you out first, brother. Actually, you're right, we should keep it from Duden."

"In my opinion, among these ants of the Secret Party's Doomsday Faction, apart from Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini, there isn't a single good one..."

As Lu Mingfei followed Lu Mingze and left the island of the mind step by step, the various subconscious scenes he had seen before entering resurfaced, only this time, they were slightly different.

It is still the familiar seaside street, but only half of the city. The other half is the perpetually frozen Black Swan Harbor, the childhood of Renata, and the youth of Herzog.

Lu Mingfei looked at the scenery of Black Swan Harbor with great interest. These were all things that Lu Mingze had experienced. Were they a reflection of Lu Mingze's subconscious? He hadn't seen them when he came in, but now he could see them when he came out. Not bad, not bad.

So this is what the real Black Swan Harbor is like? And Zero was so adorable as a child.

As Lu Mingfei was taking a quick look around, the corpses of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini suddenly came into view.

"!" Lu Mingfei's heart almost stopped as he looked at his parents' corpses and found 'Lu Mingfei' with an extremely arrogant expression standing in front of his parents' corpses, laughing wildly.

It seems that this laughing 'Lu Mingfei' killed Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini. The real Lu Mingfei, upon seeing his parents' corpses, would only cry until he collapsed. How could he possibly show any joy or laughter?
There is only one truth: it wasn't the real Lu Mingfei, but rather—Lu Mingze! It was Lu Mingze who made four deals and took over Lu Mingfei's body!
No, that's impossible. Lu Mingze said he also considered Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini as his parents...

As Lu Mingfei drifted forward unconsciously, the scene changed again, transforming into the final sanctuary. In this scene, Lu Mingfei knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. Lu Mingze, having broken the seal, kicked Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini's heads one by one, stomping them into mercury! He forced the two to suffocate in mercury, which is highly toxic to dragons and hybrids!

It was as if they intended to make Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini taste the pain that Lu Mingze had been suffering from all these years of mercury erosion!
Why? Why is this happening?!

Lu Mingfei had no strength to walk any further and could only let his consciousness drift forward.

After three changes in circumstances, Lu Mingze, having broken the seal, knocked Lu Mingfei unconscious and left the safe haven to fight the resurrected black dragon. During the battle, he did not take care of anyone, leaving his senior brothers and sisters to be washed away and killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

This is the depths of Lu Mingfei's subconscious. Logically, others shouldn't be able to see the changes, but Lu Mingze, because of his twin relationship with Lu Mingfei, can actually see them.

However, Lu Mingze was too happy and thought he would be completely free soon, so he made some small 'oversights' and small 'mistakes'. He kept floating forward and making excuses, and did not notice the 'loopholes' in these inexplicable scenes.

“Brother, I’ve already thought of an excuse for you. When you go out, just lie and tell Duden that you’ve already kicked him out… Hmm!”

Before he could finish speaking, the spiritual sword had already pierced through his back, fiercely penetrating Lu Mingze's heart!
