Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 443 Constance
Lu Mingfei looked at this existence with some surprise, not knowing how to describe it. He thought he had seen enough dragons and Omegas, but he was still confused by the existence in front of him.

Fortunately, the broken plan that had been offline for a long time is now online again.

"The King of Bronze and Fire, Constantine, Omega Body. Attack: ???, Defense: ???, Agility: ??? Armament: Seven Virtues. An unknown existence that is a mixture of dragon and omega, a new species born in the new world. Perhaps, this is also a brand new path of evolution."

Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say for a moment. Having once faced the Omega Integration, he considered himself one of the people who knew Omegas best in the world. He knew everything about these guys and that they were incompatible with the world here.

The will of the king, plus the metal armor from an unknown world. The supreme power of the two worlds combined to form what it is today. But, is this a combination that goes too far?

Xia Mi could recognize at a glance that this sister she had not seen for thousands of years could no longer be considered a living being, and Lu Mingfei could naturally recognize it as well. The graceful golden-red figure in front of him could no longer be called a dragon, or a living being.

To be more precise, it cannot be considered a creature in their understanding.

The Queen of Metal...Constantine stayed away from Jörmungandr at the first opportunity. This defeated opponent of hers did not lie to her. When she hesitated before, she had already lost the chance to do anything to her.

No, Jörmungandr looked very relaxed from the beginning to the end. Constance was very wary of this. He had been watching from the side when Jörmungandr was defeated, or even earlier, when they just started to fight each other!
The sword in her hand was unusually heavy, and the originally holy light on the blade dimmed to the extreme, as if she dared not to cut the person in front of her. But Constantine did not dare to let go, even if the sword was useless.

Whether it was the Dragon King's own intuition or the increased sense of crisis after becoming an Omega, both were telling her not to try to get into a conflict with the person in front of her. He was an existence that was absolutely superior to dragons and Omegas.

"Why did you come just now?" Xia Mi, who was still smiling at Constance just a second ago, suddenly had a sad face, "I lost so miserably, and you were still watching."

Lu Mingfei walked over and helped Xia Mi up under Constance's vigilant gaze: "You said it yourself, the battle between kings is sacred and cannot be disturbed."

After leaving the Regent Hotel, he said something to Chu Yuwei who was still waiting downstairs of the hotel, then strolled in the rain, following the tiny spirit in the sky to this hidden lakeside.

Xia Mi had actually noticed Lu Mingfei's arrival a long time ago, and she also knew that her actions alone could not be hidden from him. However, if she was not alone, her sister, whom she had not seen since ancient times, would not show up easily.

Out of caution, Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei not to rush out. She wanted to see what tricks her sister, who almost made her cry last night, could come up with.

What happened later proved that her caution was right. The existence of the hybrid of Dragon King and Omega had given her the biggest shock since she woke up in the real world.

Even though she had forgotten a lot of things, she still couldn't figure out why these two species, which could be considered absolute enemies in ancient times, would come together.

Dragons have their own dignity. They would rather their souls die and never be able to revive again than live as enemies.

Omegas are not only the enemies of dragons, but also the enemies of humans. All creatures in this world should reject them. Dragons allow themselves to transform into human forms and hide in human society, but they will never put on such armor and live in the name of the enemy.

Xia Mi lifted her half-dragon transformation and looked at Constance, who was watching them with a wary look on her face, as if hesitating whether to retreat or advance. She asked Lu Mingfei beside her, "Did you see anything?"

"I can only confirm that she is one of the Bronze and Fire Kings." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "She has a mixture of Omega elements, which are exactly what I cannot analyze."

"Really? That's a pity." Xia Mi sighed with some regret, and then looked at Constance again, "What do you think? My sister, are you going to run away, or are you going to admit defeat?"

She didn't look cocky, but she did look proud of having caught a little weakness in her sister's hand. "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you run away or admit defeat, but I still advise you to admit defeat. That way it will save a lot of energy, both for you and us."

She continued, "We didn't actually plan to do anything to you. We just wanted to know what happened in the ancient times. Believe it or not, I was really happy when I found out you were still alive."

Constance did not answer, and a cold light shone on her expressionless metal visor.

Because of the appearance of Jörmungandr's ally, the elements of metal and fire no longer obeyed her, which was quite unfavorable for her. However, this did not mean that she could only be slaughtered like Jörmungandr just now.

She still has the power of Omega, even though Omega's instinct is reminding her that the person in front of her has slaughtered many Omegas and is like their natural enemy.

Constance suppressed the fear in Omega's instinct and tried to make her voice calm.

"Jörmungandr, put away your false mercy," she said coldly, "By letting other beings intervene in the struggle between the kings, you have lost the power of the Dragon King, and at the same time, have you also lost the dignity that a Dragon King should have?"

"Dignity... If I still remembered that kind of thing, I wouldn't be like this now." Xia Mi's expression was somewhat helpless. She glanced at Lu Mingfei beside her, "Although it's quite helpless, I am indeed different now than I was before."

She looked at Constance in front of her again: "It's up to you to say that. I don't really hate the way I am now."

"But about the matter of dignity..." She looked at Constance carefully, as if she wanted to take a good look at her sister's current appearance, and then smiled slightly, "You don't have much dignity left when you act like an enemy."

"Shut up!" Unexpectedly, after Xia Mi mentioned this, Constance's reaction was like a lit barrel of explosives.

Looking at the red eyes on the metal mask, for a moment, Xia Mi thought that her furious sister was going to chant again and summon the ultimate word spirit, Zhulong.

Constance did not intend to hide her anger at all: "My sister did this for me! She has successfully analyzed Omega. Obviously, if we just wait a little longer, victory will be ours. But, but..."

The anger almost made the metal queen lose the ability to speak. Lu Mingfei stood in front of Xia Mi and reached out to calm the violent fire element.

Suddenly, Constance seemed to have lost her strength. The red-gold light on her body dimmed to the extreme. Only her eyes were still glowing red as she stared at Xia Mi.

She said in a hoarse voice: "Fenrir's defection caused the battle line to collapse, and half of the Omegas rushed towards my sister and me. The king who possessed the power of metal died among the metal army. This is a very undignified way to die, isn't it?" Xia Mi was suddenly stunned. She opened her mouth to say something, but when she met Constance's eyes that were like an extinguished flame, she could not say anything.

The current Constance looked very much like the one she knew in ancient times, weak and timid, always standing behind her sister, not acting like a king. But now, the king who she could hide behind was gone.

The cause of her sister's death was her brother...

After keeping silent for a long time, Xia Mi said softly: "I'm sorry...but..."

She raised her head, her eyes and voice were unusually firm: "Fenrir will not defect. Not only does he not like to think, he also always likes to go against me. However, when he fights the enemy, there are only two outcomes. Either the enemy is crushed by him... or he is killed by the enemy."

Jörmungandr would never forget that when she returned to the Nibelungen occupied by Omega, she found the broken palace of the King of Earth and Mountain under the prosperous Emerald, and Fenrir, who was crawling in front of the palace and seemed to have been dead for a long time.

She felt that her mood at that time was not much better than Constance's now.

Omega broke into their palace and killed her brother in front of it. Then, on the ruins of their palace, she built the holy city surrounded by holy light. This was a kind of respect, but also an insult.

Omega did not destroy Fenrir's body, but left him in the deepest part of the earth to decay. This was the greatest respect for their opponent who fought to the death. However, they built the city on his body, which was another insult to their defeated opponent.

Fenrir did not betray, Xia Mi knew it very well. The many destroyed Omegas in the ruins of the royal palace were the best proof.

Xia Mi didn't know what he had done in ancient times that made Constantine so hostile to him. However, Fenrir, who fought to the death until the last moment, was definitely a qualified king!
"What about you?" Constanze looked at Xia Mi who was retorting and asked quietly, "Where were you during the decisive battle?"

Xia Mi could only answer this with silence. She had forgotten how she emerged from her cocoon, so how could she remember what she was doing in the ancient battlefield?
"Let me answer this for her." Lu Mingfei once again stopped the silent Xia Mi, "She has forgotten a lot of things, including how she transformed into a cocoon and how the war broke out."

He looked at Constance, who had regained her guard, and said, "We have no intention of fighting you. If you tell us what happened in the ancient times, maybe she will remember something. What do you think?"

Constance's eyes were still alert, but not as hostile as before. Jörmungandr was right. If she chose to continue fighting, her chances of winning would be slim.

"...I don't believe you." Constance put away her sword. It was not that she was giving in, but the sword was the same in her hand as when she was not holding it.

Lu Mingfei nodded slightly: "I understand, and I also know that the Dragon Kings were once hostile to each other."

I believe this word is a bit inappropriate when applied to dragons, but since there is a covenant that allows the kings to put aside their grudges and fight against the Omega army together, there is also a relationship of trust between them.

Especially for two kings sitting on the same throne, there may be no one else in the world who can trust each other as much as they do.

Izanami is an exception. She has no brothers or sisters, so she trusts no one and stubbornly believes that all dragons are the same as herself.

"I'm going back." Constance said coldly.

But inexplicably, Lu Mingfei felt that she was just like going to a friend's house to play and politely saying goodbye to the other party's elders before leaving... After all, she could just leave.

Lu Mingfei looked at her with a smile: "Please go ahead."

"You don't stop me." Constance was a little surprised. It would be very easy for this unknown being whose evolution level far exceeded her understanding to stop her or even defeat her.

"I said, we are not enemies, and there is no need to make our relationship worse. The world is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, and I think we will have a chance to meet again." Lu Mingfei said, turning his head to look at Xia Mi who was no longer talking behind him.

He said softly, "There must be some misunderstanding between you and her, but since you can't have a good conversation at the moment, you should wait until you have established some initial trust in us and then talk about it together."

"Then I'll leave." Constance said, but she did not move for a long time.

Lu Mingfei looked at her with some doubt and asked tentatively: "Then... walk slowly?"

"Goodbye." After saying that, Constance really disappeared.

"...quite polite." Lu Mingfei sighed.

After a long silence, Xia Mi looked up at him and said, "You just let her leave like this?"

"What else?" Lu Mingfei looked down at her and stretched out his hand to pinch her face. "I finally met a Dragon King who would listen to me. Why do I have to fight and kill?"

Xia Mi suddenly paused, not because her face was pinched. After all, she had just admitted that she didn't have much dignity left as the Dragon King, so what if she was pinched.

She took a deep breath, showing her little canine teeth, unhappily opened Lu Mingfei's hand, glared at him and said, "You mean, I didn't speak properly, right?"

“How could that be?” Lu Mingfei looked at her with a smile, reaching out to play with her hair that had puffed up with anger. “It’s actually quite interesting to see you pretending to be a naive girl.”

Xia Mi looked at her with a puffy face, then sighed deeply: "Well, the biggest mistake I made in my life was probably hiding the cocoon near your house... No, it's hard to say whether I hid it myself."
