Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Lu Mingfei buried his head deeply in Eri's hair, and the scent of white sandalwood filled the air. He could feel the boiling dragon blood being sent to Eri's whole body by the powerful heart, and every cell in her body was rejoicing, inevitably evolving towards the direction of a dragon.

Densely packed pale white scales spread from the heaving chest to the limbs, tearing the girl's delicate skin apart. They swayed bloodily in the air, red steam rose from the bottom of the scales, then slowly closed, making a metallic hum.

Eri's entire body was shaking violently. She used all her strength to hold onto her knees, but her sharp claws were still slowly growing to replace her fingernails. The tips of the claws glowed with a cold blade-like light. Her throat, which used to be able to produce ethereal and light sounds like the wind blowing through a panpipe, was now making low roars all the time.

The Dragon King-level battle had consumed all the elements around Tokyo Bay, otherwise the passengers on the Atlantic Sun God would have been lucky enough to witness a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.

That was not a mean and cowardly man stealing the throne, but a man's ascension to godhood, relying solely on his own bloodline.

Thunder, lightning, flames, fierce light and strong winds should all be surrounding Eri at this moment. No one can see how a person degenerates into a ghost or evolves into a god. However, due to the vacuum of elements, none of this happened. Therefore, Lu Mingfei clearly saw the white scales on the girl's slender arms growing like vines, and the muscles under the scales slowly rising and falling.

Unfortunately, the tenacity of human genes means that Eri will never be able to evolve into a real dragon. She will only die in the increasingly boiling dragon blood, or become an evil spirit with only killing in her heart.

Even for kings this is a miracle. In history, there has never been a Deadpool whose bloodline is so close to the first generation. If she were a god, she might become a devil who fights against the gods in every civilization myth in the world.

But Lu Mingfei wanted to cover his ears and eyes. He didn’t want to listen to the hundreds of frightened heartbeats around him, didn’t want to see the faces that had become hideous because of fear, and didn’t want to witness the so-called miracle that even the king could be shocked.

On this cold winter night, the ambitious man who dreamed of conquering the world died in the ice sea just like tens of thousands of years ago. The secret party holding high the banner of courage finally got their wish and set foot on this land they had never owned.

But what about the fate you vowed to resist? It's as huge as the icebergs that stretch for thousands of miles in the Arctic. You think you have seen the whole picture of the mountain, but when you finally look at the water, you suddenly realize that there is a winter ten times or a hundred times more severe under the water.

At this moment, it seemed as if there was a god high up in the clouds, looking down coldly at Lu Mingfei, laughing at his arrogance and his self-righteousness.

Courage and resistance are as meaningless as paper money.

"Sakura, don't be sad. I've been very happy during this time." Eri raised her head and looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes. Her body had become as hard as if she was embracing steel, but her golden eyes, as pure as a dragon, were still as gentle as autumn water.

She reached out her hand awkwardly to touch Lu Mingfei's face, then pulled back as if she had been electrocuted, but was unable to do so.

Lu Mingfei grabbed the slightly cool, scaly little hand and placed it on his cheek.

Eri was stunned for a moment, then she started to laugh softly while crying. That was a really strange state, how could someone cry and laugh at the same time? Perhaps this was the ending she had guessed?
Lu Mingfei felt the girl's claws carefully stroking his cheek, and he stared blankly at Eri, who was breathing closely with him.

What a hideous face it was, with bony protrusions on her forehead and jaw, and a pale, glowing exoskeleton covering her left face like a mask. So even though it was so painful and sad, she could no longer shed tears and could only make crying sounds, because the hard exoskeleton had locked Eri's facial muscles.

The wind blew the girl's long red hair, time passed quickly, and after many years they were still standing at the crossroads of fate, but the fork in the road leading to the future had been blocked silently.

"Don't I look ugly now?" Eiry's eyes turned slightly, and a hint of sadness flowed from her golden pupils.

In fact, before boarding the cruise ship, Eri dressed herself up beautifully. She wore a slim khaki tweed coat and a high-waisted taffeta warm long skirt. Under the hem of the skirt were translucent black stockings, and on her feet were slightly raised short boots.

A long time ago, Eri knew that she was actually a very pretty girl. Girls like her would wear off-shoulder and backless clothes or skirts when they went out, and they would be so proud that the boys around them would be distracted all day long.

The time I spent with Nonohashi was like attending a training course organized by a fashion magazine. I learned how to draw long eyebrows and light lip color. I became so beautiful that I was inhumane.

But at this moment, her long eyebrows and pursed red lips looked majestic and majestic, like a baroness with a sense of authority without even getting angry, standing high on the top of the castle, overlooking the servants who were coming to see her.

Black veins spread along her back like a slowly blooming poisonous flower. Under the pale and transparent skin on the half of her right face that was not covered by the exoskeleton, purple-black veins could be seen growing wildly, like a group of tiny snakes scurrying around in her body.

She was so slender and light, curled up in Lu Mingfei's arms. The taffeta dress had been torn to pieces by the hideous scales, and the tweed coat wrapped around a naked body covered with scaly armor.

Eri's slow breathing caused the black sea in the distance to roar like thunder.

The death order issued by Judgment to all water elements in the sea was gradually revoked as time went by, and the ice that was hundreds of meters thick melted at an incredible speed, but the huge icebergs still supported the bodies of Yamata no Orochi and Herzog, hanging on the sea surface several kilometers away, casting a huge shadow on the Atlantic Apollo.

"You were willing to believe in me and like me when I was useless before. What's more, you are not ugly at all now, you are even handsome." Lu Mingfei rested his forehead against Eri's forehead so that he could feel the hardness and coldness on the girl's cheek.

"Will Sakura still like me now?" Eri smiled faintly, but her eyes were timid.

"I like it. Even if Eri turns into a baby turtle, I will still secretly watch the baby turtle taking a bath." Lu Mingfei's nose was sour.

Even the four monarchs cannot reverse a human being's process of becoming Deadpool. Xia Mi told Lu Mingfei that rewriting bloodline is the privilege of the Supreme, and throughout all of history, there have only been no more than three such Supremes.

Eiry gently rubbed Lu Mingfei's face with the half of her cheek that was not covered by the exoskeleton. "You don't have to peek if you want. Just say a word and we can enjoy a bath together in the bathtub for an hour, two hours or even longer." She said, the golden spots under her drooping eyelids no longer hidden by her long eyelashes.

Xia Mi held Constantine's head and stood barefoot in the distance. The wind blew her skirt, revealing her slender and beautiful ankles.

Eri's body was more fragile than Lu Mingfei had imagined. She did have some methods that could temporarily delay the process of becoming Deadpool, but using them on Eri would only accelerate her death.

The Dragon King is helpless, the only people in this world who can help them are God or the devil.

"It's okay, don't be sad. Death is just another journey. I know what it feels like. It's dark and lonely. I can't hear anything and I can't see anything. I just keep thinking about you and I'm afraid I won't see you again. But if there is a God in the world, he must be a very gentle grandfather, because he heard my prayers and asked me to meet you again." Eri said softly. Lu Mingfei was already crying.

"Remember I told you before that I never blamed you. Now I want to tell you again, Sakura, don't feel guilty about the past. You told me before what a girl's life should be like. Now I want to tell you that your life shouldn't stay in one place."

"I know you must have wasted too much time on the road, and I also know you must have hugged me and cried very sadly. That's enough, that's enough..."

"I'm really happy that my disease was cured. In fact, after that, I fantasized about getting married with Sakura in Hefei. I even searched on Google for the streets of that city and the Fei River where people always put up lanterns at night. I also thought that we would have many, many children, and all of them would not struggle like us. Fate would be kind to them... It's a pity that I can't see that day..."

Such enormous power was brewing in that small body, and the scales gradually spread from the left half of her face to the right half.

Lu Mingfei inserted all five fingers into Eri's hair. At this moment, he saw that the long red hair suddenly began to turn gray from the ends, as if all the colors were absorbed by some force.

"I'm very happy to enjoy such a free time. It's something I once longed for. It doesn't matter what the price is to be able to see so many beautiful scenery with you." Eri hugged Lu Mingfei's neck and buried her head in his chest. Her face, which had completely turned into a dragon, revealed a love and sadness that no one could see.

Lu Mingfei had difficulty breathing. He held Eri tightly in his arms. The girl's skin under his palms felt harder and more rugged. She was taking on the appearance of a dragon, and at the same time, a powerful force was killing her fragile body.

The man was so exhausted that he could only let his tears flow silently. His face could no longer show any expression. He even felt that the world was lonely. The world was so vast, but there was no place to hide.

No matter where you hide, you can no longer avoid the thorns that grow from fate. In the end, your destiny will embrace you, just like your grave is always open to you, but those thorns will pierce your flesh and blood, making you feel excruciating pain, making you angry, and making you hate yourself for being so weak. Even if it happens once, twice, three times, and countless times, it cannot break your tragic fate.

For thousands of years, the ancestors of the Secret Party have fought against the resurrected ancient dragon at the risk of their lives. They have fought one after another without end, firmly believing that light will triumph over darkness and good will triumph over evil. Even if every warrior dies on the battlefield of slaying the dragon, the glory of humanity will always shine on this land soaked with their blood, and victory will always come after their death.

But if all the prophecies about the end of the world will always come true, if the slain ancient dragons will all revive on the last day, if the Dragon King Nidhogg will surely re-establish the sacred dynasty one day in the future, and all of this is written in an unchangeable entry in a book called Destiny.

If those young men who first gathered together to form the Secret Party thousands of years ago and vowed to become the insurmountable wall of despair between humans and dragons are still wandering the world like zombies in Angers thousands of years later, relying on the fire of revenge, the efforts of each generation are in vain, and every dead ancestor is just a piece of writing in the prophecy that will not even be recorded, how many people can not collapse?
What made him so conceited? He thought that he had the power to resist the thing called fate?

But at one time he held such invincible violence in his hands that as long as he made a deal with the devil, everything that stood in his way would be torn to pieces, and all those who went against his will would be killed. Even so, he still could not change the fate of those he wanted to change.

Lu Mingfei felt that he had never had such subversive doubts about what he had always insisted on as he did tonight. It was as if his spine was broken and he was too weak to stand upright.

"I really want to go and see..." Eiry raised her head and stared at Lu Mingfei's face carefully. She was so strong and yet so weak. The dragon blood in her body was boiling, but her overloaded heart was draining away her remaining life.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He had no idea what Eri was talking about.

"Let's go see the world's largest crabapple tree in Seoul, and eat the same ice cream with you when the crabapple flowers are in full bloom..." Eri smiled gently, and the exoskeleton on her cheek made a sound of glaciers cracking. The same sound came from Lu Mingfei's body, and something broke in this man's chest.

"Shut up." Lu Mingfei said softly.

Eri was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand what was going on. Was it because she was too annoying that made Sakura unhappy...

“Who told you that you would die?” Lu Mingfei said harshly, but with a sense of relief and ease as if he had avenged himself.

He picked up Eri, looked at Xia Mi, then at Constantine, and then at the passengers who were looking at him as if he were a monster. Then a strong wind blew up behind Lu Mingfei, and a pair of huge dragon wings carried him towards the corpse of the Yamata no Orochi.

"Lu Mingze." Lu Mingfei called.

"Brother, I'm here!" The little devil appeared beside him, but Eri obviously couldn't see him. The boy was wearing a black suit and seemed to be attending someone's funeral.

"It's really unlucky. Change your clothes." Lu Mingfei said.

"Okay, what do you think of this outfit?" The little devil actually changed his clothes and turned out to be a priest holding a Bible, with a flattering smile on his childish face.

"Aren't you afraid of being exorcised wearing this?"

"You don't understand, right? When we were playing honey trap with God, there was no such concept as honey trap." The little devil smacked his lips, "Brother, are you asking me to make a deal? I can indeed do it, save your head of the Uesugi family."

"No." Lu Mingfei said firmly.

"You are my brother, how could I let you die?"

Lu Mingze was slightly stunned and looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Get me a set of blood transfusion equipment. I don't need to rely on anyone this time. I don't believe in fate, and I don't want to bow to it. Let's see who is the biggest monster in the world." Lu Mingfei said. He looked at Eri.

"I said that if I die one day, I will die before you. My promise is still valid."

Eri also heard this. A dull expression appeared on her small, ferocious face. The next second, Lu Mingfei kissed the girl hard on her lips.

"Don't talk about death lightly, because you don't know how much hardship someone in this corner of the world has gone through for you." Lu Mingfei grabbed Eri tightly, almost breaking the girl's waist with such force. (End of this chapter)
