Now, it can't even beat Deadpool. The hole that the Nibelungen was breached by the Candle Dragon is in the sky. The city clusters with a few lights shining in the stormy night are very bright, but it can no longer fly.
In the distance, a figure also got up from the ground.
Odin's armor was gone, leaving only a naked, dark figure that blended almost perfectly into the darkness.
not dead?
Norton saw the figure stand up and thought to himself, if the other person doesn't die, then it's my turn to die... The destiny of the throne is that there are only two paths to take: to eat or to be eaten.
But after the figure, as black as charcoal, stood up, it swayed and fell back down with a thud.
?
"Looks like I'm not destined to die?" Norton chuckled self-deprecatingly and collapsed as well.
His power had been completely exhausted. It's true that the dragon body has a strong regenerative ability and great power, but ultimately it needs energy to maintain and replenish itself. Without proper energy replenishment and the ability to slowly absorb elements from heaven and earth, it would take him a very long time to recover...
This is inevitable; a stronger body means greater energy expenditure.
Meanwhile, the system watched with amusement as the breach in the Nibelungen line healed and then stopped, before slowly beginning to crumble...
Now even Lu Mingfei was puzzled: "Was that just a final burst of energy before death? Or was he deliberately creating an opening to lure us in to kill him?"
Lu Mingfei had used this tactic of luring the enemy in before when he was playing games.
The system opted for a small trial, collecting the raindrops, each the size of a bean, that were dripping nearby, freezing them into ice, and then controlling them to crash into the gap.
A small artificial hailstorm fell on Nibelungen.
It slammed heavily onto the two heavily injured human figures.
Norton silently curled up to minimize the area vulnerable to attack. He was tired and wanted to sleep, to drift into a deep slumber, and to slowly accumulate strength by cutting back on expenses in order to make a comeback.
But it dared not close its eyes, for if it fell into a deep sleep now, it wouldn't know who would find its body later.
It could be Deadpool, it could be the other party waking up first, or it could be the collapse of Nibelungen, with human hybrids cleaning up the mess and picking up items along the way...
The figure not far away, burned to a crisp, also reacted in the subconscious mind of its sleep.
He didn't know why, even though he felt like he had slept for a very long time, he was just tired, sleepy, and wanted to sleep...
Each minor collapse in Nibelungen was like a snowflake getting stuck on a snowball, and the snowball kept getting bigger and bigger until the entire Nibelungen began to collapse rapidly.
Norton sensed this change and struggled to his feet with a mixture of surprise and delight, for it meant that the Nibelungen had lost its supporter and protector.
But a hailstone the size of a watermelon struck him squarely on the head. Already weakened, he couldn't take it anymore... He closed his eyes and was forcibly removed from the plane.
As Norton disembarked, the other controller within his body began to awaken.
For dragons, mental power is tangible. If Norton wanted, he could have completely devoured Ronald Don's weak human personality. However, the situation at the time made him disregard all that. He only wanted to angrily break free, so he hadn't completely dealt with Don's personality yet.
"Pain Pain!"
In his confusion, Old Tang felt as if he had been slapped multiple times across the face, the kind of slaps that were swung around and landed hard on his face.
His body ached, his legs ached, his whole body ached, and the pain was still going on... He suddenly jumped up from the ground, but before he could stand up straight, his legs went weak and he collapsed.
Lying on the ground, he then realized that it was actually hail falling from the sky...?
Is it hailing from the sky? Why am I still sleeping on the ground?
He curled up, silently recalling everything that had happened.
My name is Lao Tang. I encountered Odin, and Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, resides within me. I fought Odin, which activated the Candle Dragon...
A hailstone hit him on the head, making his already aching head ache even more, and he silently curled up even smaller... It really hurt!
At this point, one can recall most of what happened before.
He was somewhat shocked. Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, was actually slumbering inside him! If he were to sell his body, it would fetch hundreds of billions of dollars!
After the initial excitement, Lao Tang's first thought was: Boss, save me!
There was a dragon inside him, looking menacing, but this thing could kill him! If Constantine and Odin hadn't been there, and things weren't so urgent, Norton would have easily destroyed himself.
Old Tang was now filled with excitement, fear, unease, and dread... because according to Norton's memories before his slumber, Nibelungen was on the verge of collapse and could completely disintegrate at any moment, merging into the real world.
He hasn't had his membranous wing skeleton removed yet, and he's too weak. If he leaves Nibelungen, he might be killed by the Kassel Academy!
"Boss, oh boss, Odin has been dealt with, Norton has come of age, where are you?! Your loyal subordinate is about to die here!"
Old Tang silently prayed to heaven.
As if the heavens had heard his prayers, the hail that had been pelting him finally stopped.
A moment later, something else was poking my head...
"His Majesty Norton?"
Upon hearing this address, Old Tang's heart skipped a beat. He looked up sharply in the direction from which the voice came, and finally couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss, you've finally decided to come!"
Chapter 206 Old Tang: I Don't Want to Be Buried with Him
The system poked Old Tang's head with a tree branch.
It wasn't sure if the guy in front of it was Old Tang, since Old Tang didn't have dragon wings.
It would be reasonable for Norton to slightly modify Donald's body after Norton awakens.
Upon hearing that familiar address and voice, the system finally recognized the person in front of it. It cautiously reached out, pulled Old Tang up, and then restrained him with its other hand!
Although the address and voice are familiar, I'm afraid this is Norton feigning weakness, waiting for another to take advantage of my lowered guard and launch a sneak attack! Oh no!
Although this strategy may seem somewhat insulting to the dragon king's status, one can only possess status while alive. Norton, having gone through a fierce battle with Odin, may have reached his weakest point. At this time, it is not shameful for a dragon to do such a thing in order to survive.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Boss, what are you doing?!" Old Tang's hands were being grabbed and his waist was being pushed against by a knee. He felt like he was almost broken in two by this blow.
Then, in this position, he managed to see the sky and immediately exclaimed in even greater terror, "Holy crap, the sky is collapsing! WC, boss, we have to run! The Nibelungen is collapsing, if we don't get out, we'll be buried with them!"
"Are you really Old Tang?" the system asked.
"Yes, yes, I am Lao Tang! Boss, don't you recognize me?" Lao Tang nodded frantically with his last bit of strength.
“Constantine is dead. I killed him.”
Old Tang was stunned when he heard this. Norton's ocean of memories was like a storm, caught in a turbulent and turbulent sea.
After a sharp pain in his head, Old Tang regained some of his senses and immediately asked, "Boss, you succeeded? Did you find a way to separate Norton from me?"
“I am Norton… oops, Norton is inside me. Odin had been manipulating me until you killed his brother Constantine, and he sensed Constantine’s death and then truly came back to life.”
"However, his battle with Odin has exhausted his strength, forcing him to slumber in my body to recover. But he will wake up again in less than a year. Boss, please save me! I don't want to become the Dragon King and then be killed by the dragon slayer to be buried with Constante!"
Upon hearing this, the system released its grip on Lao Tang. In the brief moment Lao Tang froze after those words were spoken, it almost beat Lao Tang into a folded-up mess without hesitation.
Fortunately, those later words were not something Norton could say.
Theoretically, one should say such things in order to endure and survive, but after thousands of years of lonely companionship, the bond between the twin dragon kings is not something to be joked about. If Norton heard these words, he would probably only fly into a rage and fight to the death...
"what happened……"
The system wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly saw that the collapse of the sky was accelerating... After the Nibelungen lost its leader, the speed of its collapse was astonishing. This small world would probably collapse completely in just a few minutes.
Asking for details about what happened here is definitely not going to work, so the system said instead, "Let's go outside first and talk about it."
But then Old Tang seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Odin isn't quite dead yet!"
???
Odin isn't quite dead yet? What kind of crazy news is this?
The system tensed up again in fright at Lao Tang's words, and in an instant, all the incantations were frantically stacked on its body.
But as the system tensed up, Old Tang, whom he was holding, suffered terribly, feeling as if his skin was about to be squeezed off: "Ouch, boss, you're going to squeeze my skin off!"
Old Tang quickly explained, "It's not the real Odin, just a puppet! See that lump of black charcoal on the ground up ahead?"
Just a puppet?
When Lu Mingfei heard Lao Tang's words, his first reaction was that it was a huge loss.
Because the little devil had said before that if we fought a fake Odin, the fight would be free! This is such a waste of a chance to experience the power of the Dragon King!
The system silently analyzed: "...Lu Mingze probably said those things because he knew we were being cautious..."
[...The Dragon King Experience Card, something that can save your life in a critical moment, is something that only people with an extremely strong gambling addiction would use lightly. At least, they wouldn't use it just to gamble on a 50% chance, let alone when Lu Mingze probably already knew the truth about Odin...]
The system's explanation was reasonable. To be honest, even without the system, even if Lu Mingfei himself took action, he most likely wouldn't use it just to gamble on a chance of getting a free order.
The thought that this was the little devil's scheme made Lu Mingfei feel less heartbroken. After all, it was obvious that the little devil didn't want to earn this Dragon King experience card for him.
Carrying Old Tang along, the system kicked the charcoal-covered man twice, causing the charcoal shell to shatter and fall away, revealing the color of human skin.
"Norton released the Candle Dragon?" the system asked Old Tang.
Old Tang said, "Yes, yes, this fake Odin blocked the way. After a fierce battle, Norton tragically realized that he was no match for him, so he activated the Candle Dragon. It was this Candle Dragon that drained Norton dry."
How could he withstand the attack of the Candle Dragon and survive?
The system surveyed the surroundings and estimated that the extreme heat of the Candle Dragon could be roughly assessed by the extent of damage the crater had caused to the surface.
The crater is estimated to be over 10 kilometers in diameter, and the melted surface has sunk more than ten meters deep, which is equivalent to a high-yield nuclear bomb being detonated on the spot.
This was even after Norton had just emerged from his cocoon and had already fought a great battle with Odin...
The system lifted up the man with the crispy outer shell as well, and immediately began to fly into the sky.
As he watched the ground recede further and further away, Old Tang wasn't too panicked or confused. Having inherited part of Norton's memories, he naturally knew how to get out of Nibelungen.
But he asked, "Boss, is there any hope for me? I found some of Norton's memories. After the dragon cocoon emerges, if the cocoon is inside a living being, the dragon usually seizes control of that being's body... But I was lucky this time. Because Norton just lost his brother and Odin was blocking his way, he didn't tear my consciousness apart or completely absorb it..."
Well, there's a dragon king inside Old Tang's body. Old Tang is in a panic because, according to Norton's memory, there are no cases of creatures parasitized by dragon cocoons turning the tables on dragons and directly transforming into dragons.
In this situation, it seems that only by having Old Tang be buried with his two brothers can his troubles be completely resolved.
"I have a solution."
The system said, "I will make sure you and Norton are separated in time."
"really?"
Upon hearing this, Old Tang immediately became excited. If that were the case, then Lu Mingfei would be nothing less than his second parent!
Otherwise, he would only have two paths to take.
One option is to be consumed by Norton, and his personality will cease to exist in the world; the other is to be captured and used as research material, using his body to study Norton in a frenzied way...
