Chapter 413 The Causes of the Rebellion of the Four Monarchs
Lu Chen straightened his expression, just made a small joke, returned to the topic, looked at Lu Mingze and asked: "So you haven't said yet, why is Junior Brother Lu so weak?"
He did not ask the question why the World Tree has a conscious soul. The tree that supports the world in mythology is naturally extraordinary as an individual life, and it is normal to be conscious.
Lu Mingfei also raised his mind. He wondered whether he could be strengthened again. That would not take off! ?
Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei with an inexplicable smile, "Brother, don't think about it, that's just you. It's true that you are the reincarnation of World Tree, but think about it, the power of World Tree lies in its powerful life, that The original body, but those have been destroyed by Nidhogg. Your current body is just a gradual transformation under the influence of the soul, and it is not comparable to the one back then."
"Then you still let me trade?"
Lu Mingfei was puzzled.
"Your soul and body are indeed considered monsters. At the same time, the power of life has also been inherited. 'Don't die.' This word spirit is your original power, symbolizing life. This is a very strong power. Search all over the mythology Among all the gods and monsters, no existence can use such restorative power, it is exclusive to you."
Lu Mingze's voice changed, "But there is always a but. After all, brother, you are not the tree you used to be. The advantage is that you can run around as you like, but the disadvantage is that your power and body are thousands of miles away from what they were back then, and For some reason, your power has basically been lost. Now that you can be strengthened to this extent by Master Lu, just be content."
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, thought of a certain possibility, and asked hesitantly: "You can also use my word spirit, right? The transaction you are talking about is..."
Lu Mingze nodded, "Yes, your power is in me. I was not so powerful originally."
"You are actually a thief. You took my power and then sold it to me? This business is so profitable, isn't it!?"
Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. He thought it was Lu Mingze who "gave" him power, but after a long time, he found that the power was originally his.
Lu Mingze smiled and said, "Brother, how can you say that? I didn't steal your power, but you gave it to me. Brother just forgot. If brother wants... I can give it all back to you. "
"No need to trade, just give it for free?"
Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.
"I can give it all to my brother at once. After all, this power can only be used to its fullest effect in you, my brother. I am just the custodian. After you get your power back, you may not be able to fight Nidhogg. My brother may consider it. "
Lu Mingze's voice was confusing.
Lu Chen also became interested, glanced at Lu Mingfei, and asked Lu Mingze, "So strong?"
If Lu Mingfei could complete the "super evolution", wouldn't the final battle be much easier?
Lu Mingze nodded, "Of course, in the past, for the same reasons as Nidhogg, the World Tree could not move and attack all living beings. This was also one of the original constraints, but now the World Tree has been destroyed, brother. He has also been reincarnated, and those constraints are naturally gone. From a life level, World Tree is definitely on the same level as Nidhogg, or even a higher existence, and it is possible to defeat the other side."
"Is it just a possibility?"
Caesar thought, Nuonuo was resting in the room at this time. He had been tortured for several days and could not recover for a while.
"Because in this world, it is not about who has pure blood. A higher life level means an absolute advantage. Otherwise, Ymir will not be killed. In fact, who is stronger depends on combat talent and experience. Like Da Xia Lu, for example, in the battle with Constantine, he was inferior to the Dragon King in terms of strength, power, and bloodline at the beginning, but in the end it was him who won."
Lu Mingze looked at his brother helplessly, "Everything else is easy to say, but in terms of fighting, my brother is not even close to the Black King. Even if his life level is higher, he still can't beat him."
As he spoke, he put on his salesman-like smile again, "So we have to look at our heroes, Mr. Lu."
Lu Chen was not overwhelmed by Lu Mingze's compliment. He thought for a while and said, "But no matter what, can the power of Junior Brother Lu be maximized?"
"Is such that."
Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei, "So...brother, do you want to take it back?"
Lu Mingfei wanted to say, "Does this need to be said!?"
But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't speak again, as if there was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him not to do this.
This is the intuition from the soul, as if if he does this, he will lose something extremely important and make a big mistake that is difficult to regret, just like a mountain made of iron, and he will regret it every day for ten thousand years.
For a moment, he suddenly understood, "The content of the transaction...the so-called price is not what you said before, right?"
Now Lu Mingfei is no longer the novice he used to be. He can take away a quarter of his soul or life in one transaction. If the other party has this ability, he does not need to trade with him.
The so-called transaction is more like obtaining one's own permission, passing a certain threshold in one's heart.
Lu Mingze sighed, "Brother, you have really grown up. You only left me alone when I was a child..."
He smiled bitterly and said: "Brother is right, how can I be willing to take away my brother's soul and life? You only need to be sincerely sure about this matter. The initiative does not lie with me, but whether you want to take it away, brother." Get your strength back.”
"What will happen to you after you get your power back?"
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that Lu Mingze said that he kept his power and that the power was given to him by himself. So why did he give the power to Lu Mingze back then?
After a long time, why...not got it back?
"Brother, your power represents life, and you gave it to me..."
Lu Mingze said, shook his head and said no more.
Lu Mingfei also fell into silence and did not ask any more questions. He was not that stupid yet.
Perhaps in Ragnarok, in order to save his brother, he transferred his power to him, but after that equity is retrieved, Lu Mingze may...disappear.
It's really strange. Even though I didn't know him before, this guy who calls himself Lu Mingze and claims to be his younger brother is still making fun of me.
But why is it that the thought of losing him makes me so heartbroken?
The Yggdrasil of the Mythical Age must be a person like himself. When facing someone he values, he wants to save him even if he gives his all.
He didn't know what kind of bond he had with Lu Mingze in the past, but in this life, he didn't want to let his brother disappear in order to regain his power.
"It seems like it won't work anymore..."
Lu Chen shook his head and smiled. He also saw something fishy. Lu Mingfei probably wouldn't be willing to do it, and he wouldn't force Junior Brother Lu to do something he didn't want to do.
In order to add insurance to victory, letting his friends lose their loved ones or something, this kind of thing is not in line with his principles.
After all, when will it be his turn to place his hopes of victory in the battle on others? The only one who can resist in the front is himself.
"Don't be disappointed, Master Lu. At least my brother is a competent wet nurse, and I am also a good supporter. Now that I have recovered my body, I can also help in the subsequent battles."
Lu Mingze smiled and said, seeing that his brother was unwilling to accept his original power, he felt a little disappointed, but he was also happy.
Then just take things as they come and follow Lu Chen to the battlefield in the heavens.
If you lose, everything is lost.
If he wins, he and his brother can still accompany each other.
"I talked for a long time..."
Lu Mingfei smiled and said to Lu Mingze, "My good brother hasn't said who he is yet."
But he couldn't be the only one exposed, it would be too unfair, and besides, he couldn't figure out how he could have a younger brother as a World Tree.
Could it be another sapling?
Lu Mingze waved his hand, "As I said just now, he is not a big shot, just a small role. Brother, please give me some face in front of outsiders. I can tell you in private when I get back."
Lu Mingfei was a little dissatisfied, but Lu Mingze didn't say not to tell him, so he thought about it and let it go.
Others did not continue to ask. If Lu Mingze was not lying, his identity no longer mattered. Lu Mingfei was the "big one".
No matter what he was in the past, he is now just an individual who keeps the power of the World Tree. He is strong or weak, and he can probably suppress the first generation species. The battle with the Black King... As he said himself, I guess I can only play support.
Xia Mi's eyes were as crescent-shaped as she glanced over Lu Mingze. She already knew who the other party was, because among the people present today, she was the only one who understood the conversation between Nidhogg and Lu Mingze.
He is really a "little person", no wonder Lu Mingze doesn't want to mention it.
Since the other party was so reserved, she naturally couldn't expose it in public, but after returning home, if Senior Brother Chu asked herself, she couldn't tell him.
Why Senior Brother Chu?
Because she observed that the eyes on that paralyzed face were full of gossip and curiosity!
Lu Chen stretched and gestured to the commissioner in the distance, meaning to bring more food. After chatting for a while, he felt hungry again.
"I never thought about it before today, but after seeing Nidhogg's soul today, I'm a little confused."
Lu Chen looked at Xia Mi, "Why did the four great monarchs start a rebellion back then... and how did you kill the Black King?"
This is simply the number one unsolved mystery in the world, and everyone is excited.
Originally, the secret party thought that the four monarchs were very strong, and the Black King might be one level stronger. If the four monarchs worked together, they might be able to kill him.
But now it seems that is not the case. The Black King's power is not of the same dimension as the four monarchs. In Lu Chen's opinion, even if the eight first-generation species come together, the Black King will only slap each one...
So how could the Black King fall when there was such a disparity in power?
And according to Xia Mi, although the Black King is not generally violent and often abuses his children, no matter how violently he beats him, the four monarchs can at least form cocoons and will not really die.
But it's hard to say "rebellion". Lu Chen didn't think that the Black King couldn't kill the monarch who was prepared.
But the reality is that the Black King really fell, but none of the four monarchs died.
Xia Mi thought about it for a moment, with a mixture of regret and anger appearing on her pretty face. She clenched a fist with one hand and said, "It all depends on Norton for this matter!"
"What does this have to do with Norton?"
Lu Chen was puzzled.
Xia Mi explained: "Didn't Norton forge the Seven Deadly Sins? The Black King asked him to forge them. But just like the Catholic Church later changed the Eight Deadly Sins to the Seven Deadly Sins, Norton also cut corners. The Black King originally asked him to forge the Separation of Sins. He forged seven alchemical knives targeting the weaknesses of the eight monarchs, but missed one."
Lu Mingfei was a qualified compliment, but also to satisfy his own curiosity, "He didn't forge the sword aimed at himself?"
Xia Mi shook his head, "No, the rage he used when fighting against Senior Brother Lu was actually aimed at his own alchemy knife. The weapon he didn't forge... was aimed at his younger brother."
"What kind of divine love is this!"
Lu Mingfei has already imagined ten thousand scenarios, "Does the brother control the younger brother and the younger brother controls the older brother?"
The corner of Xia Mi's mouth twitched, "It's not bad if you say that. Norton himself is very arrogant and would not say that, so it was passed down that the rage was directed at Constantine, but in fact it was the alchemy used to kill him. Knives.”
She shook her head, "That's not the problem. Norton felt a sense of crisis during the process of forging alchemy knives. What father would order his son to forge a set of alchemy knives that would kill all his brothers, including himself? You have to know that he was killed by the seven deadly sins. Death is the real end, and there is no resurrection.”
"Perhaps Norton wanted to protect himself, or perhaps he wanted to protect his cowardly younger brother. He had other thoughts. You must know that he was originally the monarch with the most like the Black King among the eight first-generation species. He was very tyrannical and extreme. In this Under such circumstances, it seemed like the government was forcing the people to rebel, so he would just flip the table and prepare to quit."
"So instead of forging the eighth vanity of the eight original sins, he turned to secretly collecting materials and prepared to forge the regicide. At the same time, he was also walking among the other three series of monarchs, joining forces vertically and horizontally, to pursue those who most desired power and The powerful siblings, the kings of ocean and water, promised the power of the Black King, and Hrasvelgr, who longed to truly kill powerful enemies with extreme speed, promised the Black King's head."
At this point, Xia Mi paused and continued: "When Fenrir and I came here, we said that if you don't want to be ravaged by the Black King again in the future, you can join together. Moreover, there were already five monarchs participating at that time, and the trend of rebellion was already there. We can't stop it, they didn't come to discuss with us at all. If we don't agree, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, our brothers and sisters will be besieged by five monarchs and seven deadly sins."
"So you two just agreed?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
Xia Mi shrugged, "Otherwise, we actually have no choice. It's not because of the pressure from those monarchs. We understand the character of the Black King. If those monarchs rebel and fail, in the end, even if Fenrir and I don't If we participate, we will also be implicated by the angry emperor, so we did nothing and went to Liangshan gritted our teeth."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Going to Liangshan, junior sister is implying that I got on a pirate ship."
Xia Mi said angrily: "Isn't it? It's all thanks to Norton. In fact, now that I think about it, we seven monarchs have no chance of winning with the Seven Deadly Sins. It is simply to die. And the meaning of the Black King letting Norton forge the sword is It was misunderstood by Norton. With the power of the Black King, he doesn’t need that thing to kill us. He asked Norton to forge that set of swords because he was optimistic about Norton."
She recalled: "Videfornir has the best relationship with the Black King. He completely regards the Black King's training as his father's expectations. If the Black King doesn't call him, he will often go to the Black King himself, and sometimes It’s not a beating, just a chat, but the Black King’s favorite monarch is actually Norton, because Norton’s character is the most like him, equally tyrannical and ambitious.”
"I just recently figured out that when the Black King asked Norton to forge that set of swords, he actually decided on the 'candidate'. It was equivalent to appointing the King of Gu during the process of raising Gu. The set of swords was originally for Norton to kill. Of the seven brothers, after devouring all the monarchs, Norton will become his barely satisfactory opponent, but Norton thought it was what the Black King was using to kill us, and he didn’t want to endure his violent temper."
Lu Mingfei raised his hand and interjected: "I think there's nothing wrong with it. Whether it's for the Black King or for Norton himself, it's not a good thing for you Xia Mi. If the rebellion succeeds, not everyone will be happy."
Xia Mi rolled his eyes and said, "These are two concepts, okay. If the Black King is not going to do it himself, how can he rely on Norton and the Seven Deadly Sins? Does he think he is invincible with just a few good swords? We eight monarchs will fight We may not be able to tell the winner in N years, and we can survive for a long time, but the rebellion is different. If there are no accidents, we will 100% be wiped out."
She grimaced, "In fact, for a long time, it was confirmed that the rebellion was the wrong decision, because we failed to kill the Black King. He will return eventually. From the day of the rebellion, the countdown to death began. And the Black King also gave a clear time, like a sharp sword hanging in our hearts."
"No matter how we struggle, no matter how we search, no matter how many ways we think of, we can't avoid the resurgence of the Black King and the arrival of Ragnarok. We can only wait for despair to come day after day. Do you understand this feeling? It's like It is the death row inmates who are told the time of death, and the period before execution is the most difficult."
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but said nonsense again, "But junior sister, you can live for a long time, and the condemned prisoners will only have a few days after being informed..."
He said in his heart that everyone will die eventually. You do know the date of death, but it will be tens of thousands of years later!
Lu Mingfei thought, if it were him, he would feel tired of playing games after tens of thousands of years.
After experiencing everything, death is not out of the question.
"You don't understand... because the way we die is unknown, and the unknown is the source of fear. We don't know how the Black King will judge us rebellious subjects."
Xia Mi sighed, "But fortunately, we still have hope of dealing with it. Finally, we haven't spent so many years in vain."
"What happened on the day you 'rioted'?"
After learning the cause and effect, Lu Chen was even more curious about how the monarchs allowed the Black King to "fall". Was it because the Black King let the King go?
As for the little devil’s identity, it’s an Easter egg. My family may have already guessed it. I’ll mention it later.
