Chapter 412 Lu Mingfei’s Identity (Thanks to Alliance Leader Sheath for the reward)

Lu Mingze paused for a moment, then slowly said, "...World Tree."

Lu Chen and Lu Mingfei were both stunned for a moment. Lu Chen did not expect that Lu Mingfei was not one of the gods he imagined, but actually the World Tree that carries the home of the gods.

Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, was completely confused. He had expected that he would be all kinds of monsters, but he also thought of the bright side. For example, when he checked the tables of gods in Norse mythology one by one, he always thought that the most handsome and powerful god was Your own incarnation.

But in the end, he is not a god, nor is he some monster, nor is he even an animal!

"But aren't you and Lu Mingfei twins?"

Chu Zihang was a little puzzled. He heard Lu Mingze call Lu Mingfei brother, as if he was very close.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mingze shook his head, "No..."

He changed his voice and looked towards Lu Mingfei, "But brother is indeed my brother."

"It's a bit confusing. How can World Tree have brothers?"

Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei who was confused.

Lu Mingze explained: "We have a very good relationship and have been together all the time. Of course he is my brother, not the kind of twins between monarchs you think of, but our bond is unbreakable. The so-called brothers are not just blood ties." , just like the four great monarchs, not all of them love each other."

Lu Chen briefly recalled that what Lu Mingze said was true. Xia Mi and Fenrir had a very good relationship. The relationship between the brothers of the Dragon King of Bronze and Fire was subtle, but it changed when they came to the King of Ocean and Water. They wanted to kill each other. other side.

The kings of sky and wind are even more ruthless. One of them not only wants to kill his opponent, but also wants to kill all the monarchs...

"But if Junior Brother Lu is the World Tree... he is too weak, right?"

Lu Chen looked at Lu Mingfei and felt that something was wrong. Without his own training and various reinforcements, Lu Mingfei would at best be a little stronger than ordinary people.

When Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and heard these words, he looked embarrassed and looked at Lu Mingze, "You're not bluffing us, are you? How could I be the World Tree? Although it doesn't even count as a living creature. , but the World Tree is probably the largest creature born after Ymir’s death, and I don’t think I’m very good at it.”

Lu Mingfei has always been self-aware. Although it sounds a bit strange to be a tree or something, the World Tree should be a very awesome individual, but in the past eighteen years, he was in the lower reaches among ordinary people.

"I won't joke about this kind of thing. Either I won't tell my brother, and if I say it, I won't lie to you. Brother, think about it, have I ever lied to you?"

Lu Mingze looked innocent, with an expression like an innocent boy.

But Lu Mingfei complained: "I think there is very little truth in your mouth..."

He remembered something and asked: "So what do you mean you always come to me to trade? According to you, shouldn't I be awesome myself? Why do I need to trade with you to gain power?"

"Trading is power, right?"

Xia Mi said at this time, she kind of understood.

Lu Mingze nodded, "I told you before, brother, that you are indeed the biggest monster. Touching Gangnir requires extremely high physical requirements for people. Brother, your previous physical fitness was not up to standard, but you touch The fact that you are not dead in the end is not because of the effect of your words and spirit, but because your body is awakening."

It's okay that Lu Mingze didn't mention it. After saying this, Lu Mingfei became even more puzzled, "A branch that fell from my body can still hurt myself? Isn't this ridiculous?"

Lu Mingze stretched out a finger and shook it, "On the contrary, there are very few weapons in this world that can definitely hurt my brother's original life, or in other words, they don't exist in the first place."

He gave an example: "Brother, don't you often watch anime? Then you should have seen The Adventures of Jackie Chan. There is a very classic sentence in it. Dad said, 'Use magic to defeat magic'. This is the same truth. Only weapons forged from the World Tree can most effectively damage the World Tree."

He looked at Gangnir who was stuck beside Lu Chen, "And this gun was not like this at first. The fading power on it was tampered with. In the past, this gun was more sacred and there was no such thing as ordinary people." It has the characteristics of death upon contact. Someone has changed its characteristics, transforming it from ultimate life to ultimate death. The collision between life and death will produce a paradox."

"The cursed...plague."

When Lu Mingfei read out those few words, his parents died of the plague. It turned out that in the final analysis, it was all his fault.

"Who reforged this gun?"

Lu Chen was curious. He speculated that the characteristics of Gangnir in the mythical period and today's Gangnir should have their own advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, his physique is up to standard now, and the above characteristics are not bad for killing enemies, but you have to be careful. You can't touch your own people.

"Black King Nidhogg, after Ragnarok, he once obtained this gun, but after it was recast, he found it unpalatable and threw it away casually."

Lu Mingze said with emotion: "That guy doesn't like using weapons or anything like that. He only likes to use his incomparably powerful body to fight the gods."

He pointed at Gangnir, "Including this gun, the Black King actually forged a total of six World Tree weapons, which represent: Judgment, Sin, Wisdom, Tyrant, Holiness, and Betrayal. The six representatives are equal, and there is no force. Weak, Judgment is the spear, which is Gungnir, Sin is the hammer, Tyrant is the sword, Holiness is the shield, Treachery is the katana, and Wisdom is the bow.”

Lu Chen was very interested. Gangnir was an epic weapon, so it stands to reason that the other five pieces of Yggdrasil equipment should also be epic.

Let’s not talk about whether they are used or not, but they are all... origin coins.

Lu Mingze saw what Lu Chen was thinking, "Master Lu, don't think about those weapons. No one knows where they are now."

"So...why is the Black King chewing me?"

Lu Mingfei looked innocent, but then added with curiosity.

"Brother, please don't use this description..."

Lu Mingze was speechless, "Things are more complicated than everyone thinks. The Black King is not an old yinbi who wants to take advantage of others. He destroyed the World Tree just to start a war."

"I have always been a little puzzled. If the Black King is very strong, why doesn't he go directly to the God Realm above? Instead, he has been entrenched under the World Tree."

Lu Chen asked. After he and the Black King met, the aura on the other side did not sound like that of a conspirator. He gained strength by devouring the corpses of gods after the war. Perhaps that was not his original purpose.

Even Xia Mi is sitting obediently and listening to the lecture. The more ancient times have already touched upon the blind spots of her knowledge. In this world, except for the undead of Odin, the Black King and the White King, there are few people in this world who know the things of that era, maybe There was only the boy in front of me.

"Due to the restrictions of the rules and an older contract, the Black King once had a curse. If the World Tree did not fall for a day, he could not leave the lowest level. This was originally like what we said, 'unless the sun comes out in the west.' Impossible conditions, and the Black King is destined to spend a long time alone under the World Tree."

Lu Mingze sighed with emotion: "But things are unpredictable. After years of gnawing, he absorbed the source of life of the World Tree, became stronger and stronger, and finally touched the roots of the World Tree, and the God of War It’s the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.”

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, his mind a little confused, "Then the gods at the top, why don't they lead the army to destroy the Black King in advance? Just watch him chew the tree?"

Although the question was a bit silly, it was indeed everyone's question. Even Chu Zihang couldn't figure it out. He considered several situations and felt that there was no reason for the gods to leave the Black King alone.

Lu Mingze spread his hands and said, "It's very simple. You can't beat it."

Lu Chen thought thoughtfully, "Isn't it the same for Odin when he was alive?"

Lu Mingze sighed, seeming a little helpless, "You have been misled by the information in the Jin Lunga Corridor. It was something passed down by the White King, so how can you believe it completely? The Black King is not devouring gods at all. He only becomes stronger after his corpse..."

He looked serious, "...but He was very strong from the beginning."

He continued to explain: "The White King deliberately vilified Nidhogg's image, portraying him as a despicable ghoul who reaps profits, but if you can gain strength by devouring corpses, then the God Realm has been fighting for so many years. Battle, aren’t each of the gods so powerful that they defy the heavens?”

Seeing that Xia Mi was about to speak, he added: "You four monarchs are different. You have flaws in the first place. They are designed to complement each other. Therefore, you can only gain complete power by devouring each other. But after you become a complete body, you can continue." By devouring other brothers, the improvement will be very small, and the effect is similar to the Nibelungen plan on Master Lu, and this kind of enhancement has a limit, and it also depends on the individual's adaptability."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, "...So, the Black King destroyed the World Tree just to leave the lower level and fight all living things?"

"The truth is that simple. There is no conspiracy. I insist that the culprit of Ragnarok is the White King. Everyone was involved in him. The Black King is just a character in the script. He is just a simple person. It’s just the first bellicose dragon, isn’t it a bit unacceptable?”

Lu Mingze actually felt that the Black King was very sick and was taken advantage of by the White King, yet he finished his work happily.

Although he later discovered the problem and decisively executed the White King, he was indeed the one who contributed the most to destroying the gods, and the White King is still not completely dead.

Lu Chen grinned, "No, I think it's normal."

Imagine a creature that is naturally warlike, but is trapped at the bottom of the World Tree, savoring loneliness day after day, and only occasionally encounters a few creatures to communicate with, but they are all weak bugs.

That would be...what a boring thing.

For a moment, Lu Chen recalled the years when he was imprisoned.

Being trapped at the bottom of the World Tree because of curses and constraints, isn't that a disguised form of imprisonment?

That’s why Nidhogg couldn’t bear it. He wanted to push to the World Tree, set off a frenzy of war among the gods, spread out his sky-covering dragon wings, fly over the battlefield, and choose the strongest opponent!

Interesting... interesting... really interesting!

Suddenly, he was looking forward to the battle with Nidhogg even more.

"Senior Brother Lu...there's something wrong with you..."

Xia Mi complained leisurely on the side, and she was now completely sure that Lu Chen and Nidhogg were both guys with abnormal minds!

All this creature thinks about all day long is a fight with a stronger enemy.

"Godzilla, remember the promise you made with me before"

Eryi's expression was a little worried. After listening to Lu Mingze's narration, she suddenly felt that the Black King was so powerful and terrifying.

The smile on Lu Chen's face froze, and he nodded quickly: "Of course I won't forget it."

After the battle in Atlantis, he had promised Eri that if he felt that he really couldn't fight... he would run away.

Alas, it was indeed a pity. If conditions allowed, he would really like to have a fight with the Black King in his prime, but at present, it seemed that the opponent's prime and strength were beyond his imagination.

In fact, he still has a bit of "Vegeta tendency" deep down in his heart, but his reason tells him that he can't waste it. Vidfournir's body can only strengthen him to a certain extent. They must lock each other when the Black King has just recovered. You cannot give the other party time to recover.

At this time, the huge cloak on the deck turned, and Fenrir's huge dragon head came out of it, lying curiously in front of everyone's table. He also heard the topic just now.

Xia Mi and Fenrir looked at each other and did not let the stupid brother shrink back. Instead, they asked Lu Mingze: "I want to know...why the Black King created our four great monarchs."

Help him conquer the world?

Don't be kidding, the Black King was already the supreme ruler at that time, and the whole world was his kingdom.

Help Him to govern in different areas?

But after they were created, the four great monarchs never managed each region. They basically all played their own roles based on their own personalities and hobbies.

And Xia Mi doesn't think the Black King cares about territory, people and other factors.

Lu Mingze leaned on the chair and looked at the dark sea. In the silent night, the sound of the waves lapping against the side of the ship was so clear.

"Actually, after listening to what I just said, you should have guessed it, right? It's just that you feel it's a bit unacceptable."

Lu Mingze did not look at Xia Mi and said leisurely: "Yes, he is just too boring. Ragnarok is not his original intention, but after the rise of the war between gods, almost all gods, demons and monsters have fallen, and he...has no opponent." .”

Xia Mi was a little silent, while Fenrir's eyes were filled with depression.

It turns out that they were not created as children. From the beginning, they were just "sparring toys" created by the Black King.

That's why he was so cruel and encouraged his children to fight in various ways. It was like a grand event of raising gu, and the one who finally decided the winner among the eight monarchs was his satisfactory opponent.

Lu Mingze looked at Xia Mi, then looked back at Fenrir, shook his head and sighed: "But I am not Nidhogg. Who knows what he really thinks, maybe he is bored, maybe he wants to create a new one." Rivals, but maybe just plain...lonely."

"Blood Mourning."

Chu Zihang mentioned a word.

Lu Mingze nodded, "Well, no one can escape loneliness. Loneliness is the biggest devil, and Nidhogg, who is as strong as he is dedicated to fighting, is no exception. Imagine that in these long years, you are the only one, surrounded by people of the same race. There is no one who can speak, how sad that is.”

Lu Mingfei answered: "I think this is the most likely possibility. I feel that when Vidfornir died, the Black King was really angry. He had certain feelings for his son."

Xia Mi came back to her senses slightly. It was pointless to think about those things now. The road had already come here, and after she blended into human society and blended in with everyone, she actually felt... not that lonely.

"Speaking of which..." Lu Chen said, looking at Xia Mi and Fenrir with a hint of gossip, "You said that the Black King is tyrannical, what does it mean specifically?"

Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, "Didn't I mention it?"

Everyone present shook their heads in unison, looking curious about the baby.

"He often calls us to come to Him, and for no reason it means a violent beating. It's not like a father beating his son, but a real beating to death. If He is in a good mood and the monarch is still alive after beating him, the monarch will have a chance. Use the Fountain of Life to recover and leave in despair. If he is in a bad mood, he may kill the monarch directly..."

Xia Mi looked mournful, "So why do you think the four great monarchs like to make a lot of cocoons? You don't really think it's because they are afraid of human hybrids killing us, right? We prepare cocoons in advance, it's just a good habit developed in ancient times. '"

Thinking about it now, Nidhogg probably just had nothing to do and wanted to discuss with them, but Xia Mi really wanted to complain, which of the four monarchs could show their strength in front of the Black King in his heyday!

In the face of that endless pressure, it was difficult to move flexibly, let alone fight normally.

Lu Chen pondered: "I'm using you as sandbags to practice..."

It was indeed a bit inhumane, but I couldn't help but want to laugh.

"He is so scary..."

Fenrir seemed to recall some bad memories, and the dragon's body trembled slightly.

Xia Mi glanced at Fenrir sympathetically, and added: "Fenrir is the one who is most often named. Every time I go there, I look at his cocoon in the Nibelungs to see if there are any traces of his cocoon. return……"

Lu Chen looked at the pitiful Fenrir. He wondered whether the Black King named Fenrir for the longest time simply because Fenrir was very durable and had a better touch?

"What about you, junior sister?"

Chu Zihang asked with some concern.

Xia Mi smiled reluctantly, "Actually, I'm fine. I feel like I have the best luck. I'm rarely called by someone's name. I only remember it twice."

"That junior sister is indeed lucky."

Chu Zihang also felt that Xia Mi was very lucky, which could be seen by playing games.

But Lu Chen said at this moment: "I can understand the Black King... After all, he is looking for someone to practice his skills with."

Xia Mi's face suddenly darkened. After Lu Chen said this, she felt a little bit behind the scenes.

This matter...maybe it wasn't because of my luck. The Black King didn't name him, there was another reason...he was too weak.

"Godzilla—"

Eriki gently pulled down Lu Chen's sleeve and whispered, "Don't say that, Xia Mi is very pitiful."

"Oh, I'm sorry, junior sister, I didn't mean it like that. You might just be lucky."

Lu Chen changed his words and said that he should still respect his good teammates.
