Chapter 376 The so-called trial

Chapter 376 The so-called trial

Chu Zihang and others looked at the ice foam flying in the sky. The frozen soil in the Arctic seemed to have been plowed by a world-destroying beast. There was no intact area as far as the eye could see.

"Oh my God, is this Junior Brother Lu's true strength? No wonder the Dragon Kings were hacked to death by him."

The shock on Fingel's face was not fake. There was no record of Lu Chen fighting against the Dragon King in his memory. This was the first time he saw Lu Chen fighting with all his strength.

"Brother Lu is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that it makes people desperate."

Chu Zihang's tone was leisurely. He always wanted to fight side by side with Brother Lu.

But on the supreme battlefield, there seemed to be no room for him to intervene.

Before he fell asleep, Brother Lu's strength was far from that outrageous. Now that he was violently injured four times, coupled with the strengthening of the Nibelung Plan, he was completely different from the last time he and Brother Lu slayed the dragon in Baidi City.

"Odin is surprisingly strong. He can actually avoid this fight. Why should he stay and watch?"

Chu Tianjiao was a little puzzled. According to his son's previous description, Odin was very "cowardly" and almost walked around Lu Chen.

In the moment before the dream was lifted, it was easy to leave with Odin's speed and power.

Even now, he and Lu Chen are evenly matched, and if they want to leave, they probably have the means.

"Of course He won't leave this time because everything He can do has been done."

Mai Shutoku opened her mouth to explain, attracting everyone's attention.

Chu Zihang and Fingel had met Jiude Mai, but she was a stranger to others. The reason why they had not questioned her was just because Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei were in poor condition, and Lu Chen and Odin The battle attracts attention.

Fingel had a wicked smile on his face and put his greasy knife on his shoulder. He looked like a street gangster. "Hey, tell me honestly. Tell me everything you know. Otherwise, in this wilderness, no one cares." Kill or bury them!"

Mai Shutoku patted her chest and said, "I'm so scared"

But seeing the serious eyes of Chu Zihang and Chu Tianjiao, as well as the vigilant eyes of the red-haired girl, she didn't dare to be shy, "Okay, okay, I say."

She calmed down and said, "That's not necessarily true. The above didn't tell me the details. I only know Odin's purpose."

"What purpose?"

Eriyi asked curiously.

Mai Shutoku explained: "Odin's purpose is very simple, just to kill the Black King Nidhogg."

When mentioning this, Chu Zihang pretended to be puzzled, but in reality he asked, "Hasn't the Black King's egg already reached Odin?"

"You said that, it should have been made into a mask by Odin. It is impossible to kill the Black King."

Jiude Mai was tired of wearing clothes, "The dragons above the four monarchs are not so easy to kill. Not even the Philosopher's Stone nor the Seven Deadly Sins. Destroying an egg will not do the trick."

"You're talking about the dragon clan above the four monarchs, that is to say, there's more than just the Black King?"

Chu Zihang grasped the key point.

Mai Shutoku paused for a moment, feeling Zero's indifferent gaze behind her, and smiled bitterly, "You are right to understand this way. Isn't that what Odin is like? He is not the four great monarchs, but he is much stronger than the four great monarchs."

"Junior sister Mai, I see you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. If my junior brother Xiaolu hadn't been in such a bad state right now, we would have taken turns to torture you."

Fingel had a sinister smile on his face.

"Hey, Brother Fingel, can you please stop using this threatening topic on me?"

Lu Mingfei complained.

Mai Shutoku rolled her eyes, she knew Fingel was bluffing, "Don't do this, I'm scared... In short, ordinary weapons can't kill these dragons who have been reincarnated in a special way."

"You seem to know more than the Secret Party. Can you elaborate on the special method?"

Chu Tianjiao's words were modest, but Jiude Mai felt more threatening. The others were all teenagers and not so ruthless. Chu Tianjiao was an old commissioner.

"As long as they are not killed in the right way, they can be reincarnated, whether they are resurrected from the cocoon or... reincarnated into a human body."

Mai Shutoku's last words made people shiver.

Lu Mingfei was even more stunned. He asked Lu Mingze clearly that he was indeed the biological child of his parents.

But according to Mai Shutoku, he might... still not be human.

"Then how can we kill them?"

Chu Zihang asked, sooner or later they would have to face the Black King Nidhogg.

"By devouring their original power, or killing them in a special way, they can be completely eradicated."

Mai Shutoku explained that this was also what the boss meant. If this team could really make it to today, this kind of information would be included.

The others listened thoughtfully, but Lu Mingfei was secretly shocked.

He finally understood why Odin used Gangnir to pin Lu Mingze but didn't kill him. This was the same as the Secret Party getting Nidhogg's egg but not destroying it, because there was no point in killing him. Instead, they will be reincarnated, and it will be very troublesome to find them again.

In the Nibelungs, ‘Lulin City’ always wanted to do the cutting by itself, which should be Odin’s instruction.

Only if he kills Lu Mingze in the deepest part of the dream can it be considered a special way to completely annihilate Lu Mingze's spirit and truly kill the other party.

Perhaps, this is also what Shutoku Mai said... a form of devouring.

Are he and Lu Mingze really brothers, similar to the twins of the four great monarchs?

"The so-called swallowing the original power shouldn't be that easy, right?"

Chu Tianjiao thought, otherwise Odin could completely swallow the Black King's egg. He just made a mask and extracted part of the power, which means that he cannot swallow the Black King's origin.

Mai Shutoku nodded, "Of course, beings of that level are difficult to kill. Without special means or special objects, they cannot swallow their origins. So in a sense, this is unsolvable. The Black King Nidhogg will surely return and will remain forever."

"What does this have to do with Odin's purpose?"

Lu Mingfei listened for a long time without understanding.

Jiude Mai looked at Lu Mingfei, which made Lu Mingfei a little embarrassed, wondering if she had asked a stupid question?

"Odin said before the war started that Lu Chen would undergo the final trial. Everything was set up by him."

Mai Shutoku prompted.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that after the boy woke up, he cursed "a bullshit trial" at Odin.

Odin replied inexplicably, "You win this time."

Are the two sides trying something? Or what are you betting on?

"The chaos in the Nibelungs is to test Brother Lu? No..."

Chu Zihang thought about it and turned to look at Lu Mingfei. No matter how you looked at it, they were just fighting monsters and didn't do anything special.

The person who finally pulled out Gangnir and lifted the Nibelungs was Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei felt Senior Brother Chu's gaze and suddenly realized that the trial in the dream was aimed at him.

Odin may have wanted him to kill Lu Mingze, or to devour Lu Mingze, but he did not do so and eliminated the Nibelungs, so Odin said that Lu Mingze "won"

Thinking about it this way, does he have the special power that Shutoku Mai said, the power to kill... the Black King?

Otherwise, why would Odin go to such trouble?

He now has a clearer understanding of himself. He is definitely not normal. He is an unidentified monster. In terms of specialness, he may indeed be the "special object" mentioned by Mai Shutoku.

So what happened to Senior Brother Lu? Just because you can fight, do you have to be targeted for trials?

"Lu Chen's trial has started a long time ago, and this is the final trial. Odin lost a round, and he has... no choice."

Mai Shutoku looked at the God King who was so far away that he could no longer see clearly, and her tone was somewhat emotional.

"What's so special about Brother Lu?"

Chu Zihang asked, if Jiude Mai didn't lie, Brother Lu wouldn't be able to kill the Black King even if he was very strong.

Jiude Mai smiled, "Didn't I just say that special means are needed, and Lu Chen has special means, he always has."

Chu Zihang suddenly woke up and remembered, "It's a knife!"

"It seems that you haven't forgotten it. My memory is biased, but I still remember that we found the eighth weapon refined by Norton in the Arctic Bronze City. It was the ultimate weapon used to assassinate the king. That weapon The knife has the power to devour the origin of the soul."

Mai Shutoku looked at the black sword light rising and falling in the distance like a phantom, "I heard that Lu Chen called his sword Regicide. It's such an appropriate name. It was born to... kill kings."

After hearing Mai Shutoku's explanation, or the most likely guess, everyone was a little silent.

They never imagined that Lu Chen's so-called trial would be like this.

"I heard that Lu Chen was trapped in Avalon. Odin did not attack him, nor did he ask the heroic spirits to attack specifically..."

In the middle of what Jiude Mai said, she was interrupted by Chu Zihang.

His eyes were cold, "How did you know?"

Brother Lu's incident in Avalon was never told in detail to the academy. Only people within the team knew about it.

Zero was behind Shutoku Mai, wanting to sew the other person's mouth shut. Just sell it yourself. Why did you bring me out with you?

"This... doesn't matter. My boss knows everything."

Mai Shutoku smiled awkwardly and said, "...you must have been wondering before, why did Odin take Lu Chen into Avalon? If he didn't open the door, Lu Chen would never be able to get in."

Eriki tilted her head slightly, "Sounds like a test in mythology?"

Mai Shutoku praised, "Uesugi-san is so smart. Everyone should have heard of the Twelve Trials of Heracles in Greek mythology. What Odin did is similar. Of course, it just sounds nice to say it. He is probably there too." Keep adjusting your plans.”

"What I say below is just my personal speculation, not what I was told by the higher-ups. Just listen to it."

Mai Shutoku held out a finger as she spoke, "The first trial is not for Lu Chen, but for his team, so Odin erased everyone's memory of Lu Chen in the world. I want to see Does he have solid friends to save him, because only with the most reliable team assistance can he have a chance to kill the Black King on the final battlefield."

"The second trial may not be called a trial, but rather a benefit. He did not imprison Lu Chen in Avalon, but provided Lu Chen with a good 'cultivation place'. There is a walking path The key point on the road to becoming a god is that he needs Lu Chen to continue to become stronger."

"If you think about it carefully, wouldn't Odin know that there are many black pythons in Avalon that can be eaten? Lifespan stops there, which is completely harmless to Lu Chen. It is a secret place for bloodline refining."

"And He doesn't send out heroic spirits because they have been abandoned by Him. They are just nourishment for regicide. Because regicide is a semi-finished product, so if you want to kill Black King Nidhogg, its quality is not enough. Odin will Sacrifice your heroic spirit to support that sword."

Having said this, Lu Mingfei raised his hand, his face dark and expressionless, "Why doesn't Odin take the Regicide himself to kill the Black King?"

This is also a question that many people have.

Jiude Mai looked at Chu Zihang, meaning you should explain.

Chu Zihang thought about it for a moment, "That knife is a bit strange. It seems to have some special abilities. Brother Lu also took it for me. It can't activate the alchemy field with dragon blood at all, nor can it have deeper functions. If we use our Chinese to cultivate immortals, In the words of the novel, it is like recognizing the master, and no one else can use it."

"So high-end!?"

Lu Mingfei was amazed. He originally thought that regicide was a powerful weapon, but he didn't expect it to be a "magic weapon"?

"That's pretty much what it means."

Mai Shutoku continued: "Originally, the God King should have made a lot of preparations in order to kill the Black King, and Lu Chen was just one of them, but to his surprise, you thought of Lu Chen and found him again, and even more What surprised Odin was that after Regicide devoured so many heroic spirits, he still didn't 'advance'."

"So he sent Uncle Chu... to induce you to come to the ice field, enter this Nibelung, and start the next stage of the plan. At this point, he still has a choice, but one of his plans failed. So we can only start the final trial for Lu Chen."

Mai Shutoku's voice was low, "That's why he didn't plan to leave at all."

Everyone fell silent, understanding what Mai Shutoku meant.

If the quality of the regicide is not enough and the heroic spirits cannot gather together, then the God King will prepare to go into battle himself.

Odin, he is ready to use himself as nourishment!

But He also said that this is the final test, and He will not admit anyone weaker than himself, because that person cannot kill the Black King.

…

In the distance, the clouds descend, the sea water reverses, and the world turns upside down!

One person and one god traveled dozens of kilometers, and there was not a trace of intact ice wherever they passed.

Finally, the battlefield was completely shattered by the huge destructive power of both sides.

There are pieces of floating ice on the sea. Every time the two sides put their feet down and exert force, the ice sinks and the sea water flows up, like fountains rising and water lilies blooming.

In the icy rain, the boy kept moving on the ice, waterfalls, and sea water. This was the power of the Poseidon's Armor.

The completely collapsed field did not affect him, but the three-dimensional space provided him with more varied tactics.

Odin used his power and stepped on the water, but the effect didn't seem to be as good as the Poseidon's Armor. He used some kind of word spirit. Even though he was distracted and multi-purposed, Gangnir still had a good balance of offense and defense.

Neither side chose to dive into the seabed to fight, because Odin knew the properties of the Poseidon Armor, and Lu Chen was afraid that Odin would not follow him if he dived down.

The three most basic moves of waving the spear, blocking, holding, and stabbing, were used by Odin to perfection. He could always block the regicide's attack at incredible angles and then counterattack.

This is the correct use of Gungnir. Its throwing skill is very powerful, but it has no effect on the strong. Instead, the weapon will be lost if it is released.

God King Odin may be the strongest spear master in the world. When fighting with strong men, this spear in his hand is far stronger than throwing it.

At this point in the battle, Lu Chen's physical strength had been exhausted by more than half, but he did not see Odin weakening.

He relied on the superposition of many statuses such as the fourth degree of violent blood and the Fudo Myooh King Kong to push himself to the current strength, which was consumed even if he stood still.

But this God King is different. His body is already so strong!

Lu Chen was not anxious, he was simply enjoying this supreme showdown.

The giant black blade carries a reversing wave, and the ice foam turns into misty mist in the high heat caused by the rapid friction between the blade and the atmosphere, and is blown away by the manic wind. The white mist and red mist mix, and they rush forward again. is divided into two sections.

With one slash of the sword, it turned from breaking the tide to breaking the soul!

boom--

The continuous roar sounded. Lu Chen put what he had learned in his life to the extreme. Under the high fighting spirit, he was surprisingly calm deep in his mind.

Combining intuition and experience, he uses his moves instinctively, just like a master of traditional Chinese painting splashing ink on rice paper or a poet after drinking.

All martial arts moves were like breathing, used instinctively in the most extreme time. He failed to break through the God King's defense, but he was gradually taking the initiative!

…

In the water curtain that turned the sky and the earth, the ice, snow, red mist and the devil danced together. Every time the young man used his sword, his speed seemed to be faster than before.

The God King on the ice floe stood still in his power, his spear was like a phantom, and countless dark golden lights could be seen in every second of freeze-frame.

The collision between the gun and the knife made a dull sound, the sound waves scattered the surrounding water curtain, and the strong wind caused the snow and fog to roll back.

Lu Chen pulled his hands to his sides. Regicide did not extend or lengthen, but the shadow of the black dragon expanded more and more, and it was dozens of meters long around him.

He took advantage of the force to retreat in mid-air, and took the opportunity to breathe. A large amount of red mist spurted out from his mouth, and the cold air poured into his chest. His chest swelled, and the muscles in his limbs swelled.

The muscles of a pair of calfs were about to break through the restraints of the Lin Armor. The moment he exerted his strength, the ice floe turned into ice foam, and the water element fixed in the Poseidon Armor was completely defeated by the absolute violence.

The power poured into both arms made the regicide's hilt creak, and the black dragon roared, as if in pain, as excited, as bloodthirsty as as crazy!
