Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 434 The King of Bronze and Fire
Izanami rested one hand on the table, holding up one side of her face with her palm, which made her look a little lazy: "I do know something about her. But that information is based on the old world and the parallel world, so it may not be applicable here."

Lu Mingfei knew what she was talking about. The history of this world was completely different from that of the old world and the parallel world. One of the biggest differences was those Omegas of unknown origin.

The dragons in the old world also seem to be in seclusion, but what caused them to be like this is still unknown. In the new world, Omega is definitely the main factor causing the disappearance of dragon civilization.

With the participation of such a group of unknown beings, the new world has embarked on a path that the old world has never imagined.

"Go on." After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingfei motioned Izanami to continue.

Izanami glanced at him and continued, "How should I put it... The four kings born after me are not worthy of the title of Dragon King, but as a species of dragon, they are not too weak."

At this point, she suddenly sneered: "Perhaps Nidhogg is really afraid of my existence. When creating these new generations of dragon kings, he separated their power and authority. This is the case with Fenrir and Jörmungandr, and probably also with Roden and Constantine."

"Ruoton, Constantine..." Lu Mingfei paused. It was the first time he heard the names of these two kings of bronze and fire.

Izanami continued, "But there are two kings on the same throne, and there is a difference in strength. Jörmungandr thinks she is extremely wise, but in front of her brother who suppresses everything with absolute power, these are nothing. It's a pity that her brother doesn't like to use his brain."

"The same is true on the thrones of bronze and fire. I don't know which sister is stronger or weaker, but they possess the most powerful alchemy among all the kings, which greatly makes up for their lack of individual combat power." She continued.

Then she suddenly smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile: "When the other three dragon kings on the thrones were troubled by the separation of power and authority, they were indeed the strongest among the kings."

Although Izanami kept talking about the kings, it was obvious that she did not consider herself as one of the "kings". She admitted that she lost to Jörmungandr and that she was now a prisoner, but she would not confuse herself with the four great kings.

Although she was defeated, she was still a noble high priestess of the dragon clan. These failed kings who were born after her and whose power and authority were still separated were not qualified to be equal to her.

"Do you think there is a possibility that they are still alive?" Lu Mingfei asked Izanami. He only saw one dragon corpse, but there were two twins sitting on the throne.

"No, they are all dead." Izanami said softly, "Jörmungandr may not be able to detect it, but I can feel that the moment I woke up, the only living Dragon King in the world was the King of Earth and Mountains."

Lu Mingfei waited for a while, but Izanami didn't say anything next.

He looked at Izanami who had been watching him silently after he finished speaking and asked, "What's next?"

"What do you mean by later?" Izanami asked him, "Do I need to know what happened later?"

Lu Mingfei paused. Well, this was because he had unrealistic expectations of Izanami.

Izanami may not care about the existence of the kings at all, and she knows this only out of her curiosity about the dragon kings who were born after her. Her only goal is to escape to the parallel world, and the kings obviously cannot help her in this regard, so there is naturally no need for her to understand them in depth.

"Let's change the subject." Lu Mingfei continued, "Omega, how much did you know when these guys invaded this world?"

"You're asking the wrong person." Izanami sighed helplessly, "Although I really want to help you with something to change your bad impression of me, this is the only thing I can't help you with."

"It's possible that even the kings who encountered Omega couldn't figure out what these guys were and where they came from." Izanami said with some regret, "The only thing I know is that the kings were probably confident that they could deal with them, otherwise they could have released me at that time."

She smiled at Lu Mingfei: "After all, at that time, I just wanted to be the only emperor. No matter how you think about it, it's better than the current situation where the entire dragon civilization has been defeated and regressed."

"That's hard to say." Lu Mingfei glanced at her calmly, "What if the kings feel that fighting Omega to the death is easier than accepting your rule?"

“We should ask them.” Izanami smiled at Lu Mingfei, “But probably no one can answer you. Even Jörmungandr, who prides himself on being extremely wise, has lost his memory in modern times… I actually lost to such a guy. The more I think about it, the more I can’t understand.”

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. I don't think you will be able to understand this kind of thing in your entire life." Lu Mingfei glanced at her and fell silent.

Kings and Omegas, if we find out where the relationship between dragons and Omegas comes from, we may be able to uncover the truth of the world.

"Why are you asking me these questions?" Izanami asked Lu Mingfei curiously.

Lu Mingfei glanced at her and didn't want to answer, but when he thought of the dead Dragon King in the Nibelung, he suddenly paused.

"Nothing..." He said softly, "I just happened to know that the Bronze and Fire Kings and Omega's army perished together, and I wanted to find someone to talk to."

Izanami suddenly paused, a faint golden light flashed in her eyes, and she said dimly: "If you want me to sigh about her death, forget it. For the dragon clan, the death of a powerful being is a good thing, because it means there is one less powerful enemy on the road of evolution."

"Although that's how their evolution seems to me," she added.

Lu Mingfei looked at her silently and stopped talking.

Izanami understood the meaning in his eyes. She was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I know what you want to say. This is the gap between me and Jörmungandr, right?"

Lu Mingfei remained silent. Izanami could only sigh: "Empathy is something only humans have. It seems that I am still a long way from defeating Jörmungandr."

……

After leaving the white prison, Lu Mingfei went to the black hall again. The lights on the wall could only illuminate a small area in front of him, but he didn't need too much lighting.

The little witch was still hiding and refused to see him, but he didn't care and walked to the display shelf by the wall as if taking a walk.

The seven deadly sins were hidden in the darkness. Only when the cold sword occasionally glowed with cold light could one see a trace of their outlines. Lu Mingfei reached out and pulled out the first of the seven deadly sins, Pride. Unexpectedly, the hilt was not cold, but warm, like a living thing, begging for something.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment. The Seven Deadly Sins were different from ordinary alchemical weapons. They were the king-killing weapons that the King of Bronze and Fire had put all their efforts into. Perhaps in the original hope of their creators, the realm of sin and punishment that combined the seven swords was the ultimate existence that could kill even the emperor.

Unfortunately, the Bronze and Fire Kings were not powerful enough to carve such a domineering domain on the Seven Deadly Sins.

However, they left an empty slot on it, waiting for the person who would later hold these swords to carve a domain that would be enough to kill the emperor as well. Ragnarok is such a word spirit.

Lu Mingfei's fingers gently stroked the sword. The sharp edge of the sword could not hurt him at all. Besides, this was his spiritual world, and he was the one who completed these swords.

The battle with Izanami could not show the full power of Ragnarok. Besides the fact that Lu Mingfei, who had not yet started the evolutionary path, could not fully control the Word Spirit, he was also surprised by the overflowing power of the Word Spirit.

Even the arrogant dragon priestess Izanami was frightened by that trace of overflowing power. So what would this word spirit look like when it was fully revealed?

Lu Mingfei sincerely hoped that this spiritual word would never be used.

He continued to stroke the blades of the Seven Deadly Sins. The long swords and short knives vibrated gently, like kittens and puppies responding to him when being stroked.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. If the King of Bronze and Fire lived to the modern era, he would definitely be a great enemy of human society.

According to Izanami, they are probably the closest to the Dragon King, tyrannical and powerful, almost like the heir apparent of the Dragon Clan. She can ignite the fire that can burn the world to death on Omega, and she can also do the same to humans.

But inexplicably, when Lu Mingfei saw her corpse, he suddenly felt that the description of cruelty did not fit her. How cruel could a dragon be that could block an ant-like Omega in its Nibelungen?
Lu Mingfei had never seen the Bronze King and the Fire King, nor had he seen the two kings on the throne, so naturally he didn't know what their personalities were. But inexplicably, he was moved by their deaths.

…Just like when she encountered Uesugi Eri, the curse of the old world that made it impossible to ignore her.

As if sensing his emotions, the Seven Deadly Sins emitted a sharp light, as if to crush the culprit that made him so sad. Lu Mingfei gently stroked the sword. Omega, who caused the death of the Bronze and Fire Kings, had been killed by her own Ultimate Word Spirit. Even if he was unwilling to accept their deaths, who could he seek revenge on?

……

Lu Mingfei woke up from the spiritual world, opened his eyes, and saw a pair of sparkling eyes in front of him.

Xia Mi's nose twitched, like a kitten sniffing the scent of its returning owner: "I smell a nostalgic, but also disgusting, scent on you."

Lu Mingfei silently looked at this probably the only living Dragon King in the world. She still looked like the girl in the amusement park before, sitting on him with her hands on her chest, staring at him suspiciously like a kitten.

Before the other party could ask a question, Lu Mingfei spoke first: "I met the King of Bronze and Fire."

Xia Mi paused. She could feel that something seemed to have happened to Lu Mingfei, but she didn't expect that it would be related to the most powerful Dragon King.

"Ruoton or Constance? Have they finally resurrected in modern times?" Xia Mi looked down at Lu Mingfei, her perfect little face full of solemnity. "You took their swords, they probably won't let you go, we have to take a long-term approach..."

"They won't show up." Lu Mingfei interrupted her, "She's dead. I saw her body with my own eyes. She perished along with many other Omegas."

Izanami might be right, the twins on the throne of bronze and fire are both dead. Otherwise, if one of them is still alive, would they let their older sister or younger sister lie dead in the wilderness?

When they accidentally entered Florence before, Xia Mi would sneak away from them and go deep into the depths of the Roman Nibelung just to retrieve Fenrir's body.

Xia Mi was suddenly stunned and could not speak for a long time. Lu Mingfei glanced at her and found that her amber-like golden eyes were filled with endless confusion. It seemed that she could not believe that the strongest king of bronze and fire among all the kings was actually dead.

Lu Mingfei sat up, and the Dragon King's petite body sat in his arms. He stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head. Perhaps because she was too shocked, Xia Mi's stubborn hair no longer stood up, and drooped as if it had lost its vitality.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Mingfei asked the girl in his arms.

Xia Mi raised her somewhat confused eyes: "...I don't know, I don't know whether I should be happy or sad about this."

Her eyes were a little dazed, and she said softly, "I seem to remember something. We...the kings once made a covenant with blood as a witness to fight side by side until blood was shed, ending the chaos of opposition and uniting against a certain enemy."

Lu Mingfei paused. Xia Mi had forgotten so many things that she didn't even know how her Nibelungen fell. Naturally, she couldn't say who the enemy was.

However, there are not many beings that can make the hostile kings unite to deal with them, and Omega is obviously worthy of this honor.

"And then?" Lu Mingfei asked softly, ready to be a listener.

"Roden, she is a brave king, even Fenrir cannot compare to her. Her sister is very weak, even weaker than me. But they are always inseparable, even if one of them holds the other back." Xia Mi continued, "If one of them dies, the other will never live alone."

Lu Mingfei did not interrupt her and let her continue talking.

"I should be happy about her death." Xia Mi continued from the perspective of a Dragon King, "Losing a powerful opponent means we are safer. But..."

She spoke from a sister's perspective: "But I kind of didn't want to hear about her death."
