Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

The small black express train crossed the Tama River in the wind and rain, as if fate had told you to die where you must. Herzog was executed in the depths of Tokyo Bay, but the express train chosen by Lu Mingfei took them back to the intersection of the Akagi River and the Tama River. Looking up, they could see a huge water storage well with smoke billowing in the distance and the chaotic tidal rhythm of elements that had not yet dissipated above the water storage well.

The river water, which had swollen due to sudden rain, repeatedly washed the metal-jointed bridge piers. Hundreds of heavy machine guns and artillery pieces were distributed on both sides of the bridge, with the muzzles covered with tarpaulins.

The soldiers operating these weapons silently waited for the order to attack. They were affiliated with the McTress Marine Barracks in Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture and the Fuji Marine Barracks in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture. They were elites who had experienced many battles. After taking off their military uniforms, they were all heroes with biceps that could run horses.

They didn't know who their enemy was. The order from their superiors was just to suppress a group of armed thugs who hijacked a train. For this reason, the colonels in charge of this operation had to dispatch troops from Okinawa Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture to Tokyo nearly a month in advance. Obviously, this was a premeditated armed suppression, and it seemed that the thugs must have mastered some national secrets and even had real weapons of mass destruction, because the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Government actually gave the green light to these restless American soldiers. It seemed that everyone, from the prime minister to a small government employee, was eager for the royal army to quell the riot.

Hundreds of soldiers gathered around, wearing rubber raincoats over their uniforms. Although visibility was still good and the enemy would only come from the bridge, their superiors still required everyone to wear night vision goggles. In the colonel's words, this was "to prevent being tempted by hell when looking into the eyes of the devil."

He was a Frenchman from Utah, big and strong with muscles all over his body like Schwarzenegger. He had nothing to do with romantic Paris. Instead, he looked like a Hungarian bullfighter who had been through many battles.

The bullfighter colonel's love life is quite dry. He likes to read the Bible and offer the most pious prayers to the Lord on weekdays. He is a typical Christian. He believes in God, and naturally believes in the existence of heaven and hell.

The sound of the train whistle came from far away and echoed between the two mountains covered with rain. In the distance, among the gray-white buildings, the train that had already been told by superiors to be a target of attack was roaring forward.

It turned out to be a modified old D51 steam locomotive. Grayish-white steam poured out from the exhaust pipe on top of the locomotive like a torrent, and was pierced and shattered by the torrential rain after a long time.

The metal connecting rods used by the steam locomotive to connect the rollers made a teeth-grinding sound as they moved up and down, and everyone was suddenly terrified, because the two lighthouses at the end of the long bridge were rotating xenon lamps and using circular spots of light to cut through the darkness. At a certain moment, the spots of light gathered on the front of the train and followed the new yet ancient thing all the way forward.

A huge infrared-guided supersonic artillery shell launch port is installed above the front of the train, running parallel to the railroad track. When it faces the long bridge, it looks like a gaze from hell.

In addition, one could vaguely see multi-barreled high-speed heavy machine guns extending from all sides of the train. The firepower was so fierce that it did not seem to be used against humans, but to break out of the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of zombies.

What really shocked the soldiers was the methods of these armed thugs. They were able to mobilize the entire Tokyo railway system so brazenly and unscrupulously modify a steam locomotive, turning it into a fortress that could move at high speed!

Fortunately, the tarpaulin completely hid them. Even if these terrorists had atomic bombs in their hands, it would be useless because their firepower was enough to completely destroy the place when the train completely entered the long bridge.
-
Looking forward and backward, the carriage was dead silent and empty with only a faint cold light. Lu Mingfei was sitting shirtless on the side of the metal platform placed in the center of the first carriage of the train with his eyelids drooped.

He was pouring the prepared amalgam on the bullet. The surface of the bullet had intricate etched patterns with a strong Gandhara style.

That was not the mercury-core alchemical armor-piercing bomb from the academy's equipment department. Lu Mingfei had lost the academy's support long before he set foot on the Atlantic Apollo. Even EVA no longer responded to his calls.

This was a gift from Tang Sen. Before leaving, the man with hair like a flamingo slapped two shotguns and a bag of bullets on Lu Mingfei's chest. He said, "Brother, although you look like a hero who can slay a dragon, sometimes a knife may not help you and you have to use a gun."

What Tang Sen said makes sense...Now is the fatal moment.

All the anger was burned out and all the blood was cooled due to the loss of strength. At this moment, Lu Mingfei couldn't even let himself enter the first stage of blood rush.

He had never been so weak, but the expression on his face was as hard as marble.

The metallic liquid seeped into the pattern of the bullet, emitting a faint blue fluorescence and then going out, as if a wild beast entered a state of suspended animation after a long breath.

The interior of the bullet is filled with fine silver sand, which is like heavy liquid metal wrapping around the lead buckshot.

Silver ions dissolved in mercury are extremely toxic to dragons and Deadpool, just like the legendary vampires. Silver sand can also cause temporary and irreversible injuries to dragons.

If fired at close range, if it can directly hit Deadpool's abdominal cavity, it can cause instant death to the opponent.

All the bullets were loaded into the magazine, and Lu Mingfei held the two shotguns on his knees.

The battle with Herzog actually only took a few minutes from beginning to end, but his Alchemical Desert Eagle had been destroyed. It was melted into golden-red droplets by the high temperature and fell into the cold and rolling sea water. It was then forged by Xia Mi into a sword with the same edge as all the other basalt fragments to break through the defense of the Yamata no Orochi.

Clusters of transparent tubes connected Lu Mingfei's carotid artery to the metal platform. His blood flowed out continuously under the action of the pressure pump. The blood was a metallic gold color, so dazzling and beautiful, like a sky full of stars in liquid gold.

A long-haired girl was lying flat on the silver-white metal platform with her eyes lowered. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as the train swayed, and the shadows of her eyelashes fell on her eyelids like long bird feathers.

Lu Mingfei stared at the pale little face quietly. It seemed that the years were peaceful and after passing through this dark night, a thin morning light would shine on them, which would warm them up.

The piece of holy remains cut out from Izanagi's heart on his back had already climbed up, piercing Lu Mingfei's flesh with its ribs. The dense bone tendrils penetrated the skin and pierced into the bone marrow along the gaps between the vertebrae, injecting the genes of the ancient supreme being into his body.

According to Herzog's behavior, Lu Mingfei originally thought that the Holy Relics would only parasitize the descendants of the White King, but he did not expect that the parasitism on himself would be so smooth, and it could even be said to be hungry and thirsty.

Perhaps it was because the insect had lost its flesh and blood and would inevitably die if exposed to the outside world for a long time, or perhaps it was because Lu Mingfei's bloodline was originally a bit strange. In any case, he encountered almost no obstacles in doing this.

With the invasion of the White King's gene, Lu Mingfei could even feel the incredible majesty awakening from his body, as if wherever he sat was the center of the world. As he looked around, the goddess in the illusion who looked somewhat like Nono Eri was also looking around through his eyes.

The hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow were completely replaced within minutes of Lu Mingfei being parasitized. The divine blood spread throughout his body at an incredible speed. A powerful will began to slowly invade Lu Mingfei's brain, but he had already connected the blood exchange device to his and Eiry's jugular veins.

With the injection of Bai Wang's fetal blood, Eri's transformation into Deadpool was instantly stopped. Then, the muscles that had been undulating under the scales of her skin like a group of snakes quickly calmed down, and the scales and claws were retracted into the body. The skin under the scales was originally scarred and bloody, but in a few seconds it became as delicate as a baby's.

In contrast, Lu Mingfei's face became paler and paler. The dragon blood extracted from Eiry's body was stored separately until all the fetal blood in his body was drained and then sent into his blood vessels. This meant that he would fall into extreme anemia in a few dozen minutes without a drop of blood in his body. The only way he could be sure of staying alive was because of the little devil's guarantee.

Even after she recovered with the help of the divine blood, Lu Mingfei rarely saw Eri looking so haggard. The lips he had kissed were almost bloodless, and her long eyebrows were as gentle as the spring and autumn wind.

The thin black silk dress was stuck to Eri's body because it was wet, revealing her curves and the color of her skin faintly visible.

There is very little dragon blood that can be extracted from Eri's body. As soon as the divine blood entered her body, she cheered and leaped for joy, swallowing the poisonous dragon blood like a giant whale in the deep sea breaking into a community of plankton. Lu Mingfei's body no longer produces new fetal blood, and the hematopoietic stem cells transformed by the holy remains have all been consumed.

But in fact, the real divine blood is extremely rare, only enough to transform an individual. This is why Lu Mingfei cannot retain a part of the fetal blood in his body to maintain his vitality.

Neither he nor Eri could take any risks, because one misstep could lead to everlasting regret.

If all efforts are shattered by a tiny bit of luck at the last moment, it would be a mistake that cannot be corrected.

There was the sound of someone stepping on metal overhead, and Lu Mingfei knew it was Xia Mi.

Eri has exposed her bloodline. Even if no one knows that she has inherited the White King's legacy, the secret party will not let her go. The situation of the junior sister is similar. The power she showed when fighting against Herzog and Yamata no Orochi has almost clearly told the academy that she is the Dragon King. Therefore, if Lu Mingfei dies, there will be no place for Jörmungandr in the world.

In any case, this will be the beginning of an escape.

When the tube could no longer draw any drop of blood from Lu Mingfei's body, Eri suddenly opened her eyes. White threads grew from her fingers, nose tip and slender spine, filling every corner of the carriage like a spider web. It was a thin layer, and the ends of the white threads swayed slightly like seaweed in the wind blowing from one end to the other, as if a thick layer of snow was spread in the carriage.

Then she sat up silently, and stared at Lu Mingfei as he injected the blood drawn from her body back into his own. After a few seconds, the girl trembled slightly, and tears flowed silently. When the tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, her plump and fair little face was illuminated by the golden light in her eyes.

The poisonous blood entered Lu Mingfei's body, but his heart miraculously began to recover. This was what the little devil had already agreed with him before he accepted the parasitism of the holy remains.

After the blood transfusion ceremony is completed, a very small amount of White King fetal blood will still remain in Lu Mingfei's heart and blood vessels. These golden holy fluids containing infinite power are not enough to promote Lu Mingfei's evolution, but will prevent him from injecting human blood into his body.

At this time, only the blood of the descendants of the White King, who are also gene carriers, can be accepted by this body. What follows is Lu Mingfei's own body's detoxification ability.

No one has ever done it through blood transfusion to open the path to becoming a god, even if you look back at all the history, so even Lu Mingze doesn't know what will happen.

Maybe it will be death, maybe it will be depravity, or maybe there will be a tiny chance of survival.

Fate never stands on Lu Mingfei's side, but this time he has no choice.

"No, no, please, don't do this, don't leave me..." Eiry suddenly burst into tears. She had never been so scared before. She was so scared that she could only hug Lu Mingfei tightly. She was so scared that it seemed as if the whole world had become so cold.

Even though she had only sobbed softly when facing death so alone, she wanted to cry loudly at this moment.

She knew that she was born with a curse, and no matter how many times it happened, the curse would still flow in her blood, so Eri always cherished the present moment because she knew death was near.

At the very beginning, when she was just a lark locked in a cage, no one in this world truly loved her, until that day when that silly boy in the sea reached out to her with an awkward posture like a drowning duck, hugged her tightly, and never wanted to let go. From that moment on, Eri felt that her life, which would be gray until her death, suddenly had a ray of such a dazzling light.

It was Lu Mingfei who made Eri suddenly feel that she was loved. It seemed as if all the terrible things could no longer hurt her, and all the dangers in the outside world were far away from her. The sea monsters in the sea and the airships in the sky could no longer hurt her, because for a girl like that who had never been loved, love was the strongest barrier.

She had never known the world before, and he taught her to know the world.

This world with Lu Mingfei is a wonderful place. It is not like a gem guarded by snakes, but like the sea under the sun and the cherry blossoms in the spring breeze.

Eiry's pupils became brighter and brighter, and Lu Mingfei's pupils also became brighter and brighter. The divine blood and the highly poisonous dragon blood took effect in the bodies of both people at the same time. In the end, the goddess of fate did not stand on Lu Mingfei's side. Death or fall, tragedy followed him like a shadow.

Now that the curse is no longer in her blood, she should be happy.

But no, Eri felt that something in her heart suddenly collapsed. She was so weak that she wanted to hold on to Lu Mingfei, just like the enchantress Claire who tried her best to catch her lover who fell into the water on the Rhine River many years ago. But there were very few things she could hold on to, as if the man in front of her was just a ghost, and after seeing her, she would have to go back to hell.

"I once promised to accompany you to Korea to see the world's largest crabapple tree. I'm sorry I couldn't do it." Lu Mingfei touched Eri's face. His cheeks were so hard and a deathly paleness spread across his skin, but he was still smiling. He was smiling because he won this time. Fate wanted to take Eri's life like it did last time, but this time he won.

"I don't want to see the crabapple blossoms, I just want to be with you. I'm willing to go wherever you are." Eri cried very sadly, and a low roar came from above their heads, like a female dragon roaring sadly.

Lu Mingfei shook his head. He tore the remains of the holy remains from his spine, crushed them, and stood up shakily.

He raised his head and a stream of dark blue air blew out of his mouth.

He lowered his head, and the scales on his body grew out uncontrollably, making a loud bang when they clasped together.

The smile on Lu Mingfei's hard face slowly faded, and he began to move away from Eri, retreating step by step. With every step back, his dragon transformation intensified, and the consciousness in his mind sank a little. The white silk threads on the ground where he stepped on curled up and burned, reflecting Lu Mingfei's shadow like a demon.

"I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you to see the crabapple tree this time." Lu Mingfei said as his voice gradually became hoarse and finally turned into a deep roar. "I paid a great price for my past cowardice. It seems like there will always be a Lu Mingfei who never grows up crying quietly in my heart. But today he is not sad anymore, because we are no longer cowards."

Eri's body had not yet recovered its strength, and her bones made a series of crackling noises, but she was unable to stand up to hug the man who was gradually leaving. So she could only cry at the top of her lungs, until her voice became hoarse, and the world became dead silent.

The loneliness was so deep, she really hoped that the world could be a little warmer, so that she would not feel so...

cold.

The door between the carriages closed between them. Lu Mingfei knelt down heavily. He looked around, confusion rather than reason in his golden eyes.

He knew the final moment had come.

At the last moment, Lu Mingfei slowly raised his head, saw the gap in the car roof and the red eyes in the gap, and met the girl's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister." Lu Mingfei said in lip language.

He was no longer able to speak, for the only sound coming out of his vocal cords was the roar of a dragon.

Then the man slowly raised the shotgun loaded with mercury bullets and put the muzzle against his temple.

This distance was enough for Lu Mingfei to destroy his brain stem with one shot. He was unwilling to fall even if he died.

"I'm sorry that our vows have to end at this moment..."

A huge gunshot rang out.

Eri suddenly collapsed, her eyes became lifeless, and she just sat down on the silver-white platform, staring blankly at the carriage door that separated her and Lu Mingfei.

"Why..." She said softly, the ends of her red hair slowly floating up, with dazzling static flashing in it.

Wake up.

A great will slowly awakened within the girl's body. She looked around and then up at the obscured sky, exhaling slowly.

"this world……"

"Not anymore," Eri said.

At the same time, Mount Fuji erupted again, with a column of fire rising thousands of meters into the sky. The burning red sky could be seen as far away as the Pacific Ocean.

"Ruined...it?"

“Let’s destroy it…” She seemed to be talking to herself, or talking to someone, but as soon as she finished speaking, the whole of Japan began to tremble violently.

Lu Chen began. (End of this chapter)
