Chapter 364 The Evil Old Ghost Odin
"The death knell has already sounded. It is the salute to the opening of the door to another world. The war is about to begin, and everyone is preparing."

In the dim room, a woman's voice sounded slowly: "But that is a beautiful day. The sea will be broken open, and a large ship made of dead people's fingernails will rise from the bottom of the sea. The dead souls will stand on the ship and vent their resentment to the world of the living."

Having said this, Yuan Zhinv paused, she raised her eyes slightly, revealing her scarlet pupils, and her tone became lighter, but extremely serious and sincere:
"At that time, I will stand at the bow of the ship and personally fight the strongest supreme being who has awakened from his slumber. Are you willing to stand beside me or become my nourishment?"

In the dark space, Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head, remaining silent. One could only vaguely hear the increasingly strong heartbeat in his chest, as frequent as a war drum.

Yuan Zhinv was not in a hurry either. She casually played with the long pale silver hair. The atmosphere was not tense, and there was even a sense of relaxation as if meeting old friends again.

The golden pupil suddenly lit up! Like a cat's eye that closes into a slit when it encounters strong light, the pupil light that shot out from the slit was as sharp as a knife.

Yuan Zhisheng finally opened his mouth slowly, but his voice was unlike before. Instead, it became deeper and colder, with an indescribable arrogance.

"On what grounds are you inviting me?"

"You may not admit it, but I do consider you a friend, just like Jörmungandr."

Yuan Zhinu did not look at the man beside her, but calmly stated the facts: "I never deny your help to me. Without you, I would not be where I am today."

"I don't want to bother about what happened before. You killed me, and I killed you, so we're even now. If you're willing, there will always be a place for you by my side."

To be honest, Norton's help to the Source Girl far exceeded that of Jörmungandr. If it weren't for Norton, the Source Girl would have been in great danger when she first met Vilitan in the Greenland Ice Sea.

Without Norton's alchemical support and Levatin created by the fusion of the seven deadly sins, the Source Maiden would not be able to deal with Jörmungandr, who came with malicious intent from the beginning, let alone kill Fenrir.

So it is no exaggeration to say that without Norton, she would not be where she is today.

Gen Chinuo is a person who can clearly distinguish right from wrong and grudges. Although her cooperation with Norton was based on ulterior motives from the very beginning and the idea of ​​mutual benefit was the only help Norton brought, she was willing to give him another chance even for Constantine's sake.

"Friends?" The man smiled and said, "It seems that you still don't understand the affairs of the dragon clan. The Dragon King never needs friends. There can only be one person sitting on the supreme throne."

"Many things can be shared, but there are also many things that cannot be shared, such as the authority of this world."

Yuan Zhinv sighed softly: "At this point, you still refuse to give in? You know very well that you have no chance of winning."

Yes, they all knew that at this point, Norton had no chance of winning.

Genjitsu would never give him the chance to fuse with Constantine, and even if he merged and became the complete King of Bronze and Fire, it would not change anything.

In front of the complete White King, even the complete Bronze and Fire Kings still have no chance of winning and are no match for him.

Norton's chances of winning were wiped out when Gen Chitose completely inherited the position of the White King. Not killing her before she became the White King laid the foundation for the final outcome, which can no longer be changed.

But even so, the man just said: "So what?"

His tone was calm, and he spoke each word with emphasis: "I am willing to accept the loss. The worst that can happen is death."

The air suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy. They all knew that the talks had failed, but this was inevitable.

Because it is impossible for Genjitsu to give up power either. The most she can accept is to tolerate Norton's cooperation and subordinate relationship like Hela. But Dragon Kings are different from Dragon Kings. Hela can accept this kind of relationship, but Norton cannot.

Because he has always been the most arrogant. He is the eldest son of the Black King and a prince known as the Crown Prince. His pride does not allow him to bow to anyone, even if the other party is the White King, even if refusal means death.

A proud person will eventually die because of his pride, but for him, death is probably never such a terrible thing. Once he surrenders, he will probably no longer be himself.

Genjitsu was not surprised by his choice; it could even be said that she had expected it.

She just sighed, seeming a little regretful and a little bit sorry.

She said, “Then go die.”

……

Sakura hugged Eri tightly to prevent her from moving around and hurting herself by mistake. Uesugi Yue was anxiously running around beside her, but there was nothing he could do. Alarms from various instruments rang out, and countless medical staff were on standby, but they were slow to come forward.

It was unknown how long it had passed before the girl finally tired of struggling and calmed down in Ying's arms. Ying breathed a sigh of relief, put the girl back on the bed, and turned to Uesugi Yue and said, "Head, it seems that everything is fine now."

Uesugi Yue immediately stepped forward and wiped away the tears on Eri's face with a look of heartache. He had realized something, but didn't know what to say.

The girl opened her eyes blankly, staring at the white wall of the roof. In her dark red eyes was a complex expression that Eri never showed. She was like a poor abandoned puppy, so sad that one could not help but feel sad with her at a glance.

Uesugi Yue sighed softly. He reached out and touched the girl's soft long hair that was soaked with cold sweat, and said softly, "Good girl, don't cry. Your brother definitely doesn't want to see you cry."

"It's okay, it will all be fine, you and Eri need to be well, and when you have a body, you can go out and play together again."

Uesugi Yue probably really has no experience in coaxing children, and he stumbles over these words. It is hard to imagine that these words are said to a Dragon King, but because it is Constantine, there is no sense of incongruity.

Uesugi Yue did not hate Constantine. Although he was the Dragon King, he had never harmed humans. He even stopped Norton from harming Eri, Minamoto Chisei and others many times. Uesugi Yue recognized this affection.

Just like people are divided into good and bad people, the same is true for Dragon Kings. Maybe Constantine is an outlier among the Dragon Kings, a weak boy who will be laughed at and scorned by other Dragon Kings, but among the hybrids, at least here in the Sheqi Eight Families, he will always be respected and is the most distinguished guest and even friend of the Sheqi Eight Families.

The girl didn't say anything, but just closed her eyes silently, as if everything had been settled and she didn't even have the strength to struggle. No one knew whether the child who closed her eyes at that moment was Eri or Constantine.

Or maybe it doesn't matter at all, he is essentially just a poor kid who knows nothing.

And such children are not only found in Japan.

The United States, the Sheqi Eight Branches, Kassel College. The Bronze Plan was successfully completed. This was a perfect operation. With the help of a strong support group, they successfully killed the Dragon King Norton. This was the most brilliant success in the past few decades or even hundreds of years.

So it was natural to hold a celebration.

In the huge hall, the commissioners and professors put aside the barriers between teachers and students and drank good wine. The girls wore beautiful dance dresses, and as they pushed the cups and spun around, their straight white calves were exposed.

The vice-principal was still wearing his old and worn jeans, drinking happily, and moving between one beautiful girl after another. With Ange unconscious and the new principal Yuan Zhinv absent, he, as the vice-principal, was undoubtedly the highest-ranking official, so he was the one who took the lead in this celebration meeting.

As the main output force, Chu Zihang naturally received countless praises. People from the Lionheart Club came up to toast him one after another, even the Student Union's sworn enemies were among them, but there was admiration in their eyes. At least this time, Chu Zihang's limelight completely overshadowed Caesar, who for some reason never showed up.

This was undoubtedly a refreshing victory for the two of them after such a long battle. Even my opponent, my younger brother, recognized his strength, but Chu Zihang just shook his head, as taciturn and dull as usual.

There was noise and carnival everywhere. Under the bright lights, a person was sitting in a corner not far away, staring blankly at the darkness outside the window.

That was Lu Mingfei, the one who personally dealt the Dragon King the final blow.

He should have been the most brilliant and glorious winner of this dragon-slaying banquet, but he behaved like a down-and-out puppy, hiding in a corner alone, licking his wounds secretly.

Maybe some people are just unlucky. They have done such earth-shattering things and should be the protagonist of the whole banquet. They should stand out and accept everyone's admiring gazes and excited applause, but they have no sense of existence and no one even notices them.

Chu Zihang looked at him silently without saying a word.

He knew that Lu Mingfei had been there since the beginning of the banquet. Because there were many people coming and going, but no one paid any attention to him, he just sat there in a daze.

Every time Chu Zihang's gaze passed through the crowd coming and going, he saw him leaning or sitting there, with empty eyes reflecting the flickering lights, seeming out of place with everyone.

It's like a child being thrown in a park on a midsummer afternoon. He doesn't know where to go or what to do, but he is not afraid. He just walks back and forth in the space from a tree to the lake.

Chu Zihang could probably understand his sadness. It was said that Norton was his good friend before he became the Dragon King.

Although I don’t really understand what the concept of “good friends” is, it would be very sad to kill your own friend with your own hands.

Chu Zihang was a little hesitant. He felt that Lu Mingfei was a member of his Lionheart Club after all, and as the president, he might need to comfort him. However, he was not good at this, so he had been hesitating for the whole night and had not figured out how to start the conversation.

Just as he continued to hesitate, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Is he good-looking?"

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Xia Mi in a formal dress. It was a scarlet tasseled dress and she was wearing a golden crown that shone brightly in the world. Her beautiful face was full of majesty, but after she started talking, she became a little more playful.

It was as if she was still herself, the little girl from junior high school who was always chattering.

Chu Zihang looked at her without saying a word.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Mi touched her face, a little confused: "Am I not good-looking? Or is there something on my face?"

To be honest, whether it is Xia Mi, Jörmungandr, or even Hela, they are all extremely beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, and simply flawless.

This was not the first time Xia Mi asked Chu Zihang this question, but this time Chu Zihang did not want to answer. He just asked, "What's the matter?"

With his father being rescued, Chu Zihang no longer hated the dragon clan as much. Of course, the main reason was that his most trusted senior schoolmate seemed to have also become a dragon, and of very pure bloodline. This made him clearly understand that dragons can be divided into good dragons and bad dragons, and not all dragons are enemies.

He didn't hate Xia Mi, and there was no hatred between them. He just felt a little awkward.

"If you want to comfort me, just go ahead. Why are you thinking so much?" But the girl didn't seem to feel awkward at all. She came closer and stared at Chu Zihang's eyes with her beautiful big eyes without blinking. She asked curiously, "Or you haven't thought about it yet. How to comfort me?"

Chu Zihang only felt a fragrant breeze blowing on his face, and subconsciously took a few steps back to distance himself. However, because he was too flustered, he bumped into the tables and chairs, making some noise, which instantly attracted a lot of attention.

Xia Mi couldn't help laughing when she saw how embarrassed he was. She spoke slowly and compassionately, "If you really can't think of a word, forget it. He has to figure it out on his own anyway."

"What do you mean?" Chu Zihang asked. He could hear that there seemed to be more to the words.

"It was a prearranged script for him to execute Norton himself. Genji and I tried to stop it, but unfortunately, we failed because the person who plotted against him was his closest person, so we were powerless to do anything."

"No one can save him or help him forever. If he wants to stand up, he has to rely on himself and only on himself."

"If he figures it out, then everything will be fine and he can get what he wants. But if he is really bewitched by the devil and ends up in a dead end, that is the outcome no one wants to see."

At this point, Xia Mi sighed: "If that's the case, you might as well go and comfort him, so that he can figure it out sooner, but don't let the child go astray."

Chu Zihang could tell there was something wrong with the words. He was a little confused. What was a crooked path? What was a dead end?
But he did not ask, but just said: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"So indifferent?" Xia Mi curled her lips and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, please consider that I have let you down."

"I came here to tell you that we are going to defeat Odin. Do you want to come with us?"

Chu Zihang frowned. He and Odin did have a grudge, but with his father being found, this grudge was nothing. So he shook his head: "No, I want to go to Japan to see my father. I heard that he has woken up."

Xia Mi's expression was awkward for a moment, and her toes dug into the ground slightly. The girl turned her head away as if nothing had happened, and her voice became lowered: "Well, um, actually..."

"That's right. Your father, probably, possibly, was captured by that evil old ghost Odin again. He's such a bad guy, a complete scum among the dragon clan!"

Chu Zihang: “?”
