Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

However, Jude Mai is not idle and practicing driving skills for excitement in such a dangerous situation. She appeared here to respond to a task assigned to her by someone. Jude Mai is waiting. If an enemy appears from the water, she will be ready to fight with her life. However, Jude Mai still hopes that the person she sees next is the one she is waiting for.

A black shadow broke through the raging sea surface and flew rapidly towards the sky above the sea. Jiude Mai quickly drove the fighter jet into the dark clouds. Her expression was extremely alert, her hands tightly gripped the control stick, and her eyes were like a cheetah that might pounce at any time.

The black shadow that broke through the sea surface was so fast that Jude Mai's eyes could not catch its appearance at all. The fighter's radar also failed, and she could not tell whether it was an enemy or an ally. Jude Mai's sight had lost the figure. She had to be vigilant at all times, because maybe in the next moment a pale dragon shadow would suddenly emerge from the black clouds and tear her and the fighter under her to pieces.

The fuselage of the fighter suddenly trembled, and something landed on the top of the helicopter. Jude Mai pulled the control stick tightly with one hand to prevent the fighter from falling out of control. With her other hand, she pulled out a sharp short blade from the strap on her thigh. Jude Mai looked forward, but her peripheral vision was always fixed on the place above her head where the vibration came from. Perhaps in the next second, a white claw would tear apart that piece of iron sheet, and a dragon shadow would fall from the sky.

But there were no claws or dragon shadows. Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the top of the plane, with a special frequency. Jiude Mai breathed a sigh of relief. She inserted the broken blade back into the strap on her thigh and relaxed her vigilance... This frequency was a signal of safety. She and Lu Mingfei had agreed on this special way of communication a long time ago. When she was hiding in the compartment of the Trieste during the "Jiyuan Project", she used this method to communicate with Lu Mingfei.

This means that the person who landed on the top of the fighter was Lu Mingfei. He survived and abided by the agreement and successfully arrived here from Hongjing. Jiude Mai immediately slowed down the fighter and opened the hatch.

A black figure squeezed into the cabin, holding a person in each of his arms. He gently placed the two people on the ground and said to Jiude Mai, "I'll leave them to you."

"Leave it to me." Jude Mai turned her head and only glanced at the two people on the ground. Her eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the dark figure standing there. Jude Mai couldn't help but sigh, "Your current appearance is really surprising. I can't even recognize it as you."

"Old Tang also said something similar." The black shadow said lightly.

"They are seriously injured." Jiude Mai only then looked down at Old Tang and Xia Mi on the floor and added, "They are seriously injured."

Old Tang and Xia Mi's dragon transformation had not yet been lifted. The scales on their bodies had fallen off in disorder, and the skin beneath the scales was covered with dense wounds. Their bones were twisted at strange angles, and some bone fragments had even pierced through the skin and protruded. The blood flowing from their bodies dyed the cabin floor red.

"Even the two Dragon Kings were severely injured. It's hard to imagine how intense the war that just happened was." Jiude Mai's eyes flickered. "He almost killed the two Dragon Kings. Has Herzog really become such a terrifying thing?"

"It is indeed very powerful." The black shadow nodded. "I am also partly responsible for this. I asked Old Tang and Xia Mi to use their blood to awaken the 'Sacred Remains' early. Herzog has now become a monster that combines the bloodlines of the three dragon kings: the Bronze and Fire King, the Earth and Mountain King, and the White King. It has completely mastered the authority of Fire and Mountain. Otherwise, Old Tang and Xia Mi wouldn't have been so reluctant to fight him together."

"Is he dead?" asked Jiude Mai.

"No." The black shadow shook his head. "Monsters of this level aren't so easy to kill, but Old Tang and Xia Mi have already severely damaged Herzog. In its current state, it won't be easy for it to escape from the magma."

"I'm very curious, who is stronger now, you or Herzog?" Jude Mai couldn't help but ask.

"I can't answer that question." The shadow still shook his head. After a moment, he added, "I can only tell you that I will definitely kill Herzog. I no longer have any reason to allow him to live in this world."

Since the other party had already said so, Jude Mai did not continue to ask questions in an impolite manner. The fighter plane she was flying happened to break through the thick black clouds at this time. The endless sea was surging with exaggerated waves, and the strong wind was rolling up the dark clouds. Thunder and lightning fell on the sea like rain. In the distance, a narrow crack appeared on the coast of Japan, and all the coastal buildings were submerged by the tsunami.

"You're the one making all this noise, aren't you?" Jude Mai looked at the natural disasters ravaging Japan and the western Pacific. "Isn't that a bit too much? Are you planning to destroy Japan? Or are you planning to flood South Korea and India as well? There will be no peace in all of Asia, right?"

"It wasn't intentional." The shadow still shook his head. "I was still unconscious when these disasters were created."

He did not lie. Just like the tsunamis and volcanic eruptions caused by the awakening of the "God", these natural disasters came into being with his rebirth. The only difference was that the disasters caused by the awakening of the "God" could only destroy Japan at most, but the catastrophe caused by his awakening seemed to be able to destroy half of the world.

"But what is about to begin is a war between emperors. The war between emperors requires a gorgeous background, so there is nothing wrong with a grand scene." The black shadow said, looking at the ravaged world.

But even though he said this, he still faced the direction of Japan, stretched out a hand, and clenched it in the air.

"Japan is her homeland, so stay." The shadow said softly.

Miraculously, dark clouds were still hovering in the sky, but the electric snakes were only trapped in the clouds and moved around. No more lightning struck the land or the sea. The strong winds stopped, and the volcanoes that were erupting halfway on the seabed were forcibly curbed. The lava that had already rushed to the crater slowly flowed back into the cave again, and the sea surface that was surging with huge waves calmed down in a very short time... It was clearly a doomsday scene in the previous second, but in the next second all kinds of huge disasters subsided, and the sky and the sea were calm. It looked like just another ordinary, dull and rainy day.

Even Jiude Mai couldn't help but be stunned. Miracle... Only miracle can describe such power. It's like God has issued an order to all elements in the world that cannot be violated.

At the same time, Jude Mai was also feeling emotional in her heart. Only a psychopath like her boss could describe a world-destroying disaster as a gorgeous background. But in the end, the other party still used his ability to suppress everything. In her impression, her boss was not such a person who said one thing and did another. That guy would come true with all his crazy words... This feeling was very strange, as if two completely different personalities were mixed into one body.

"Leave here as soon as possible. Now that all the disasters have subsided, Herzog will be here soon." The black shadow said calmly to Jiude Mai, "According to our agreement, take Lao Tang and Xia Mi to a safe place and do our best to treat them with the special medicine provided by Su Enxi."

Jude Mai nodded and opened the cabin door again without any explanation or blessing. Jude Mai was not the type of person who would remind people to "be careful" or "have a safe trip" before leaving. Since someone had given her a mission, she only needed to be responsible for its execution. When the war was won, she would naturally offer her highest praises and respect.

The black figure walked straight towards the cabin door and then fell. The moment it left the fighter, a pair of huge membrane wings spread out from behind its body wrapped in black scales. These membrane wings were too slender, revealing an evil beauty, and could not be fully deployed in the cramped cabin of the fighter.

Jiude Mai could see a shadow several hundred meters long cast among the black clouds, appearing and disappearing. The huge shadow was darker and darker than the dark clouds, and its body was hideous and enchanting, just like the evil collection of the seven deadly sins in Western mythology.

"The devil has been released from hell," Jiude Mai whispered. "I really don't know whether the outcome of this war will be the triumph of the gods or the fulfillment of the devil's wish."

The sea was calm. The black fighter jet piloted by Jiude Mai was like a giant bird, carrying two Dragon Kings and flying rapidly towards Japan.

……

Deep in the abyss, a white dragon figure emerged from the cracks in the rock. The word "covered with wounds" could not describe Herzog's current condition. Perhaps "completely bruised" would be a more appropriate description.

Almost all the scales on Herzog's body were scraped off, and its bloody flesh was covered with charred burn marks. The membranous wings behind it were also broken, and the broken bones protruded from its body like jagged spikes, making it look hideous and terrifying.

Herzog looked at the devastated underwater world, his golden pupils flashing with disbelief.

Herzog knew very well that the eruption of the submarine volcano just now was caused by Old Tang, and it was not surprising. Even a seriously injured Dragon King was still a Dragon King. It was not surprising that a Dragon King-level being could drive magma.

But the situation afterwards was too weird. All the underwater volcanoes erupted at the same time, and the entire sea area was thrown into chaos. This was definitely not something a Dragon King with low health could do.

Chapter 712 The Devil-like Boy

If Old Tang had such ability, he wouldn't have been so reluctant in fighting Herzog, nor would he have been nearly killed by Herzog... It was so exaggerated that even Herzog himself didn't know if he could do it with the limit of his ability. How could the four kings who were ranked below him do it?

But even if Herzog found it hard to believe, it all still happened incredibly realistically. Natural climate reasons could never cause all the submarine volcanoes near the coast of Japan to erupt at the same time. This was also a kind of law-based power, and an extremely advanced law at that. Its authority was even greater than that of the four kings, and it could reach a level comparable to Herzog... and possibly even above Herzog!

But how could this be possible? Herzog roared in his heart. How could there be a creature in this world with a higher degree of control over the laws of the elements than it? It was the new White King, inheriting the authority of the Bronze and Fire King, the Earth and Mountain King, and the White King. Its bloodline was even greater than that of the ancient White Emperor!

How many creatures in this world could boast a bloodline more noble than that of the ancient White King? Looking back through the history of both humans and dragons, there's only one other person, the ancient Black Emperor... That ancient Black Emperor was indeed capable of such a feat, but how could it be possible? He had perished thousands of years ago. It was only with the Black King's death that human society was able to emerge and rapidly develop.

Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Herzog couldn't believe it no matter what. It couldn't possibly be the Black King... but who else could have done such a thing? He could cause all the submarine volcanoes to erupt simultaneously, then forcibly contain the raging lava, allowing the awakened volcanoes to return to calm and dormancy. But regardless of whether it was the Black King who had accomplished this, Herzog couldn't hide his fear.

A premonition of danger descended upon Herzog's head. It was in the direction of the sea. Across a distance of more than 8,000 meters, Herzog could still feel that ancient and terrifying aura, as if it was very close at hand, just like in the American West of the last century, when the cowboy with one of the best marksmanship in the world could smell the arrival of a powerful and destined enemy from the other end of the street with his keen perception just across the long street.

Why had they awakened the numerous submarine volcanoes off the coast of Japan? Then, not long after, had they been forced back into a deep slumber? Looking at the cooling lava on the seafloor, Herzog suddenly remembered that this wasn't the first time a collective volcanic eruption had occurred... Similar apocalyptic scenes had occurred before when the "god" had awakened.

So, was the strange phenomenon just now also caused by some creature awakening? But what could be the thing that could cause such a cosmic upheaval? Doesn't its bloodline surpass that of a "god"?

Aside from the dead Black Emperor, how could such a creature exist in this world? How could there be a creature superior to "God" in this world? Herzog gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush to the surface right now to see what this mysterious creature of unknown origin looked like... But Herzog couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

Suddenly, Herzog seemed to have thought of something. He felt that this unknown feeling of fear was familiar, not when he was a human, but after he had become the White King... Herzog had also felt a terrifying breath not long ago. Although that breath was far less strong than the breath on the sea now, it was inexplicably similar.

Herzog still remembered the first time he sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the Red Well. Strange black threads spread from the Red Well in all directions, even engulfing the white threads produced when the White King awakened...

Lu Mingfei! Yes, it had to be Lu Mingfei! Those two Dragon Kings were helping Lu Mingfei buy time, and just as they were about to be killed by Herzog, the volcanoes on the seabed suddenly erupted and saved them just in time... There's no such coincidence in this world. It had to be that Lu Mingfei...

That damn guy is not really dead, he was resurrected, using some unknown method, and even turned into a monster that is different from the past. He woke up and gained the ability to keep pace with the new White King. He was obviously drained of blood, but he crawled out of hell. He came here to seek revenge on Herzog!

Lu Mingfei... Herzog cursed the name in his heart, and suddenly the scales on his body rustled.

The ability to sense danger that the White King gave it came into play again. The next second, a violent turbulence suddenly rolled up at the bottom of the sea. The fierce current swept Herzog in and pushed it rapidly towards the surface of the water.

Herzog roared angrily. He knew that this was a show of power from the other party, so Herzog's anger rose. He was already a creature superior to the Dragon King, with a unique identity and bloodline. Everyone in the world could only meet him with humility or respect... But being carried by the current to meet the other party, this disrespectful attitude made Herzog unbearable!

Astonishing aura burst out from Herzog's body, dispersing the turbulent water flow. The blood in his body accelerated and new white scales grew from his flesh and blood, covering the black wounds on his skin. The bones that were broken and twisted in the battle were restored one by one, and the wings behind him grew complete membranes at a speed visible to the naked eye... The dense wounds all over Herzog's body recovered rapidly from top to bottom.

It doesn't allow... Herzog will never allow himself to meet the other party in such an embarrassing posture. Even if the other party is also a creature that is superior to the Dragon King, it cannot be more noble than the White King. Even if they are creatures of the same level, Herzog must maintain his original noble and calm side, and then use a method that is sharper and more decisive than thunder to completely kill the other party and occupy the only supreme throne in the world.

Ripples surged in Herzog's golden pupils, and an extremely vast domain covered the entire sea. The originally violent ocean currents gradually calmed down... The opponent could use their power to stir up the ocean, and Herzog also had the power to calm the ocean. It was like the opponent's declaration of war to it, and Herzog must accept it. The moment they used their abilities to confront each other, this grand imperial battle had already begun.

A pair of pure white wings spread out from behind Herzog. It flapped its wings violently, and its figure broke through the water as fast as a shuttle and flew towards the sea surface. The distance of several thousand meters was reduced to zero in the blink of an eye.

A pale dragon shadow broke through the surface of the sea, and Herzog floated in the waters just above the Abyss. It looked around vigilantly, and the alarming sounds kept ringing. The scales on Herzog's body were extremely contracted and fastened tightly. This was Herzog's fighting posture, and it also meant that its mind and body were in a state of high alert.

The sea was calm, the raging winds and tsunamis disappeared without a trace, the heavy rain that had not stopped all night turned into a drizzle, and the dark clouds covering Japan were no longer as thick as the mountains, and the faint moonlight could be vaguely seen between the gaps in the clouds.

It seems to be a full moon today.

The two Dragon Kings were nowhere to be seen. Herzog didn't know where they had escaped to. This was very strange. According to Herzog's judgment, the two Dragon Kings should not have had the physical strength to escape based on their condition, let alone at such a fast speed... Someone must have helped them escape, Herzog was certain.

But it didn't know where the man had taken Lao Tang and Xia Mi. The ancient and terrifying aura that Herzog had just felt seemed to have disappeared. At this time, the sea was windy and the waves were calm. There seemed to be an imperceptible danger hidden under the calm sea surface, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be nothing.

"Dr. Herzog, how are you?"

A faint voice came from the direction above his head. Although it was far away, the voice fell clearly into Herzog's ears, like an invisible demon whispering in his ear.

Herzog suddenly raised his head. At this moment, the light clouds in the sky had just dispersed, and the moon was hanging at the other end of the sky like a huge disc. The cold moonlight sprinkled from the sky to the sea, like broken pieces of jade and porcelain on the ground.

Herzog squinted his eyes against the moonlight. In the hole where the clouds dispersed, a black figure hung high in the sky. Under the full moon, the boy's hideous body and huge membranous wings were illuminated by the mercury-like moonlight. It was a dark shadow like a demon, and every inch of black scales on his body reflected iron-black light.

A huge shadow was projected onto the sea, covering an area of ​​more than several thousand meters. Herzog's figure was also shrouded in it. He stared at the black shadow in the sky, his red-gold pupils trembling rapidly... This was a sign of trembling and fear. When he looked directly at the figure, a huge fear spread rapidly in Herzog's heart like an invisible shadow.

It was clearly a pale demon, yet it was frightened by another pure black demon. The fear that came from its bloodline made it want to flee... But Herzog had clearly become the White King. What could frighten the White King so much that he wanted to flee? Death?

"Who are you! Who are you? I know, I know, are you Lu Mingfei?" Herzog raised his neck and roared towards the sky, "No, no! You are not Lu Mingfei, you are not human at all... What on earth are you! What on earth are you!"

Herzog was emotionally agitated and angry, and the expression on the only face with human features was extremely ferocious, as if only in this way could he avoid exposing his inner fear in front of the other party, but his anger was not fake, and Herzog's inner rage wished he could burn the other party to ashes.

"You've asked me this question many times, twenty years ago, after I came to Japan, and also in my dreams." The dark shadow in the sky looked down at Herzog and said calmly, "But I can't answer you, because even I don't know what I am, and this question is meaningless. You just need to know that I am the one who killed you."

"Kill me? You said you were going to kill me?" As if he had heard a very interesting joke, a twisted smile appeared on Herzog's face. The wings behind him suddenly spread out and then suddenly retracted. A violent tornado rolled up above the sea, and the power of the hurricane lifted Herzog up quickly.

In a blink of an eye, Herzog was above the clouds, looking at the black shadow that was also floating on the clouds. But the moment he saw the other party clearly, Herzog's expression changed instantly, and his pupils widened involuntarily.

That face! That face! Herzog recognized that face!

The facial features of that face were clearly Lu Mingfei's, but Herzog saw the shadow of another boy in that face... Twenty-one years ago, the boy it discovered was taken to Black Swan Harbor and locked in the deepest room at the end of the corridor for ten years. It used all kinds of drugs it had developed on the boy, squeezing out the boy's value in an almost crowding manner.

It was from that boy that Herzog opened the door to the hybrid gene pool. The subsequent establishment and development of Black Swan Harbor were based on the extensive research done on this boy... but at the same time, Herzog almost destroyed the other party, this destruction was not only physical, but also mental and even soulful.

As an experimental subject, Herzog almost exhausted it, but it has never been willing to discard this experimental waste because it is a person with a serious collecting habit. Every time Herzog violated a virgin, it would cut off a piece of her hair as a collection. Every time it completed a groundbreaking research with a living organism, it would preserve the living organism or make it into a specimen as its proudest collection, and display it in the most conspicuous position in its collection cabinet until it found the next more satisfactory collection.

"Impossible! Impossible!" Herzog could no longer suppress his fear and roared, "Before leaving Black Swan Port, I killed everyone! I'm sure I burned all the children and nurses to death. None of the soldiers survived either. I ate up all the valuables of the entire port before leaving... You should have died in that fire! I'm sure you were all burned to death. There's no way anyone could have survived!"

"Really?" the boy with Lu Mingfei's face said calmly, "Don't you think that girl fighting you in the mecha just now looks familiar? Doesn't she have a familiar feeling to you? The girl you once loved the most, the one you described as the only living flower in the Far North."

Herzog's body trembled violently. The other party's description awakened his long-dormant memories. The image of the iceberg-like girl who had fought with him emerged in Herzog's mind... That girl was also a flower, but she was the most solitary and beautiful flower growing on the dome of the snow-capped mountain.

Chapter 713 The Biggest Monster in the World

In Herzog's impression, he did know several noble and cold girls when he was young. Some were from the British royal family, some were distant relatives of the Tsar, and some were even from ancient and mysterious families such as Rothschild or Logan... But that young but cold girl was different from all the aristocratic girls Herzog had met. The cold temperament on her was peerless and lonely, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity that Herzog felt from her was unique.

After being reminded, in Herzog's mind, the figure of the familiar girl who had fought with it and the shadow of the girl in its memory gradually overlapped. They were obviously two completely different images. The icy girl was very different from the girl in its memory in both face and temperament, but Herzog felt more and more that the two might be the same person.

They both had long hair that was pure golden and almost white, and they were both petite. At certain unintentional moments, their expressions and behaviors were very similar... Most importantly, Herzog still remembered that when the girl looked at it, her ice-cold face actually showed some rare emotions.

It was a deep-seated, timeless malice... How could anyone feel such deep hatred for it? It was as if Herzog had committed some unforgivable sin against her.

Only the children of Black Swan Harbor, who died in the fire and turned into undead, would definitely seek revenge on Herzog if they had the chance, carrying with them the hatred and resentment they had in their lifetime... Thinking of this, Herzog finally understood. No wonder he felt that the girl was both strange and familiar, it turned out to be her!

She actually survived the fire twenty-one years ago. The delicate girl had grown up so much. Although she still looked young, she was now able to stand on her own feet. Her personality had changed drastically, from being lively and agile to being taciturn, from being sensitive and weak to being cold and hard. Her appearance had even transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan... Herzog could not believe that the little girl who cried at the nurses' scolding had grown into a top half-blood warrior who could fight against pure-blooded dragons.

"So it really is her, Renata." Herzog looked at the boy and slowly uttered the name. "She actually survived the fire at Black Swan Harbor. It's incredible. Did you help her?"

"We help each other." The boy looked at Herzog and said expressionlessly, "Don't underestimate human potential, Doctor. In desperate situations, a person's desire to survive and certain important things can unleash boundless power."

"Really? But it's still hard to imagine that the delicate girl back then has grown into what she is today!" Herzog couldn't help but sigh. "How did you train her? Surgery? Or medication? What did you do to her nerves to turn a child like that into such an outstanding warrior?"

"Doctor, after so many years, is your understanding limited to medicine and surgery?" A look of disdain flashed across the boy's eyes.

"For mixed-bloods, the awakening of their bloodline can indeed change a person's combat effectiveness, but bloodline cannot change a person's nature." Herzog sneered. "Renata hasn't had pontine schizotomy. I know that girl's character better than anyone. She's not the type to become an excellent warrior. Otherwise, if I love her so much, why don't I take her with me when I leave Black Swan Harbor? It's not because I think there are vibrant girls like Renata everywhere in the world. Renata is special to me, but she's too weak. I can't realize my ambition of world domination with a burden like her."

"That's such a shame, Doctor, you missed out on a powerful and absolutely loyal subordinate." The boy's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc. "I can tell you responsibly, there were no drugs or surgeries. I didn't even interfere with her growth. I simply signed a contract with her, and she has strictly abided by it to this day... You simply can't believe how wonderful she is."

"Sign a contract?" Herzog frowned slightly. "What contract? How was it signed? You and Renata?"

"Correction, that girl's name is now Zero." The boy interrupted Herzog, "She changed her name before leaving Black Swan Port."

"Zero? Zero? You gave her your name? Is this some kind of bad taste?" Herzog couldn't help but mock the boy. "What about Uesugi Eriya? You went through so much trouble to save her, even going so far as to make up a lie about a prophetic dream. What does that girl mean to you?"

"I remember answering this question before," the boy said. "Perhaps it's because you, Doctor, don't have the ability to love, that your impression wasn't deep enough, and you can't understand the lengths a man would go for the girl he loves. I wasn't lying to you. I did have a dream that predicted the future. In the dream, Eri was killed by you, and in the end, you were killed by me, too."

"So you did all this just to reverse the tragic ending in that dream?" Herzog asked.

This time it did not refute the boy's words, because from the terrifying aura it felt from the boy and the elemental turbulence created by the boy, Herzog subconsciously believed that the boy might have the ability to kill it.

"In the beginning, it was, but gradually, I felt that it was better not to be a loser." The boy smiled faintly, "I have a lot more friends, the girl you like still likes you, and life has fewer regrets."

"When a person gains strength from regret and anger, all they do is try to make amends for their mistakes, but ultimately they're destined to accomplish nothing and simply continue down a tragic path." The boy shook his head gently. "But if a person had the right to choose from the start, everything would be different. The power you hold can prevent many tragedies, not just your own, but others' as well... People always have to fight for something, or else their lives would be truly tragic."

"Are you Zero... or Lu Mingfei?" Herzog asked in a low voice, looking at the boy's face.

Herzog could clearly feel that the boy's temperament and demeanor were very different from the original Lu Mingfei. Meeting the boy gave him a feeling of reuniting with an old friend. In addition, the boy knew Herzog very well and told him about the events of Black Swan Harbor twenty years ago. His tone was obviously that of an eyewitness... Herzog was completely convinced that the boy in front of him was Zero.

But at the same time, he is not Size Zero, because he does have Lu Mingfei's looks and features, and his height and figure are Lu Mingfei's characteristics, not Size Zero.

Herzog still remembered that when he first met Zero, the boy had a face of thirteen or fourteen years old, and it was still the same ten years later. Herzog knew that the boy's appearance would not change... But rather than saying that his appearance was eternal, it would be better to say that time had no effect on the boy at all, like an exception beyond nature.

"Is this question really that important?" the boy replied calmly. "You seem uneasy... Doctor, are you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Herzog seemed to have his inner thoughts exposed, and he shouted at the boy in anger, "Do you think I'm scared? What do I need to be afraid of? You rescued those two Dragon Kings just now, right? Where did you hide them? Never mind, it doesn't matter... Anyway, you saw how miserable they were, right? Your fate will only be worse than theirs."

"Although I don't know what you are, I am no longer the same as before." Herzog showed off his proud and ferocious figure in the moonlight. "Do you think you can kill me? Look at me now. Do you know what I have become? There is nothing in this world that can kill me now!"

The boy ignored Herzog's outward threats. He simply raised his head slowly, looking at the moon overhead. He whispered, "It's a full moon tonight."

"What do you mean?" Herzog was stunned and asked in confusion, "Is there a full moon tonight? What's wrong with a full moon? Does your power increase during a full moon?"

"No, I'm just sighing that the moonlight tonight is very beautiful. It reminds me of the full moon at Black Swan Harbor." The boy raised his head and looked at the moonlight.

"Black Swan Harbor? Full Moon?" Herzog was even more confused.

The seaport in the far north is often shrouded in a thick, dark fog. Only the light of the aurora can break through the thick clouds and shine onto the ice field. If you are lucky, you may occasionally see the moon, but the probability of seeing a full moon is very small. However, this is also the privilege of Herzog and the soldiers.

Children do not have the right to appreciate the moon at night, and it is even more impossible for Zero. The boy has been locked up in a dark room all year round. The windows of the room are sealed with wooden bars, and curtains block the pitiful glimmer of light that comes through the gaps between the bars. The boy has no chance to appreciate the full moon in Black Swan Harbor. Herzog has no idea which time the other party is talking about.

"The beautiful moonlight should set off the black sea." The boy said softly.
