"Oh my, it's true! Old Tang, you are the Dragon King Norton!"
"What a small world, what a coincidence!"
Lu Mingfei greeted Norton with a smile, but Norton seemed to be on high alert.
"Lu Mingfei!"
Norton raised his hand and shot flames at Lu Mingfei.
He had memories of Lu Mingfei, after all, he was previously named Ronald and had lived as a human.
Lu Mingfei was an online friend Ronald met while playing games when he was a human.
However, Norton still made his move because he sensed the aura of dragon blood on the two individuals, thus deducing that they were hybrids and members of the Kassel College.
He came here to kill him and his brother Constantine.
He had to launch the attack for Constantine's sake, even if the person in front of him was a former friend!
...At most, I won't kill him; I'll burn him to a crisp and cripple him, but spare his life, since he's my friend after all.
Then, while smiling, Lu Mingfei bent down and took out a contract from his briefcase, without even looking at the approaching flames.
Lu Mingfei clumsily took out the contract, then waved his hand, and the flames dissipated.
The flames vanished into thin air!
No's eyes widened. Although he wasn't at his peak, he was still the Dragon King.
How could the flames just vanish into thin air?
"Hello, let me formally introduce myself."
"I am Nighold, the Black King, from the Department of Peace and Treaties at Kassel College. Of course, you can just call me Lu Mingfei because we used to be good brothers who played StarCraft together... This is some of the treaties of our department, the purpose of which is to allow humans and dragons to coexist peacefully. Please take a look."
Lu Mingfei handed the contract to Norton of Petrochemical.
Norton: Huh? What do you mean, Nighold the Black King is in front of me?
Thus, relying on the portion of the Black King Nighold's power that he had reclaimed from within Sphia's body, Lu Mingfei engaged in a deep and friendly exchange with Norton, also known as Ronald Don.
Mr. Dragon King Norton deeply understands that peace is hard-won in this era, and is determined to safeguard the peace between humans and dragons.
Thus, Norton and Constantine became the fourth and fifth dragon kings, after Jormungandr and Fenrir, the kings of the earth and mountains, and Nighold Luminfi, the Black King, to support peaceful coexistence with humans.
Subsequently, at the urging of the Treaty Ministry.
Representatives of the human-dragon alliance signed the Treaty of Peaceful Coexistence between Humans and Dragons in Kassel.
The agreement was signed at the College of Kassel, witnessed by the newly established Treaty Department, marking a new phase in the recognition of the relationship with the dragons.
The human representatives are Chu Tianjiao, Minister of Contracts; Yuan Zhisheng of the Snake Clan; and Angers, Principal of Kassel.
Representatives of the dragon race include Jormungandr (Xia Mi), the king of earth and mountains; Norton (Ronald Don), the king of bronze and fire; and Luminfi, the Black King.
Norton: If we can't beat them, who's capable of fighting a rational Black King?
Furthermore, Norton gradually recalls his memories as Ronald and then sees an existence called Ultraman Tiga.
He broke down. He had only slept for a short time, but the world had become completely unfamiliar to him!
"This is not a compromise, but a victory of reason." — Mr. Norton's remarks at the signing of the Treaty of Peaceful Coexistence between Humans and Dragons.
Of course, we shouldn't forget the speeches by other dragon representatives.
"Oh yeah, after the treaty is signed, will Kassel be able to supply potato chips for free! Long live potato chips..." — This was Ms. Jormungandr's heartfelt expression as she was being dragged away by Chu Zihang.
"Rather than calling someone a dragon king, it's more accurate to say they're problem children." — Chu Tianjiao, Minister of the Treaty Department.
"..." — Angers, the principal of Kassel.
Yes, he didn't say anything, and he seemed quite unhappy. After signing the contract, he slipped away.
“Ahem… Well, since you insist on me saying a few words…” (pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and reads aloud), “‘Peace between humans and dragons, creating a shared future’… uh…” — The legendary Black King Lu Mingfei, the destroyer of the world.
Anyway, after that, Norton and Constantine went on a trip, whether they really went on a trip or were trying to escape someone is unknown.
It wasn't just Kassel's change in attitude towards the dragons; the Snake Clan's experiments were also a success.
The Snake-Headed Eight Families studied Ultraman Tiga's light and created a cell-transforming light irradiation device.
This device can stabilize the bloodline of a mixed-race individual by irradiating them with light, and it has no side effects except for its high energy consumption.
After the cell transformation light irradiation device was officially put into use, a large number of hybrids with unstable bloodlines, who might have become Deadpool, finally obtained healthy bodies and no longer needed to live in fear.
The "ghost" was completely defeated.
Kassel, our former loser Lu Mingfei, has just been dismissed.
"I'm so tired these past two days!"
"I have to go to class, and I'm also being dragged by Uncle Chu to help out!"
"Why is my university life so tough?!"
Lu Mingfei, dragging his tired body, along with Ling, Chu Zihang, and Xia Mi, prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Because you're the Black King, you have to work harder... And you should learn from Caesar, who, while dealing with the devastated Gattuso family with his father, still managed to find time to pursue Senior Chen Motong..."
"How could I be like him? He's a rich kid."
"Are you two right?"
Lu Mingfei then steered the conversation toward Chu Zihang and Xia Mi.
"I don't feel that tired. It's just what I should do for the peace between humans and dragons, and I will continue to work hard."
Chu Zihang spoke his own passionate words without any emotion, but Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes at him.
"Forget it, it's no use talking to someone as taciturn as you..."
Then, Lu Mingfei saw two tall but desolate figures standing at the end of the road.
The moment Lu Mingfei saw the two figures, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, and Ling, who were standing nearby, consciously stepped aside.
Lu Mingfei's eyes were red, and tears streamed down his face.
Because it was so sudden.
Lu Mingfei had thought that such a day might come in the future, but he never expected to meet them on such an ordinary afternoon.
Just like other students whose parents come to pick them up after school, the two people ahead, back to the sunlight, waited for Lu Mingfei and their child by the roadside.
Lu Mingfei could no longer hold back and ran towards the two of them while crying.
"dad--!"
"Mother--!"
Ultraman left.
But the hope and future he left behind will never leave us.
This belief, this hope, will always accompany humanity as we journey into the universe and into the future.
Humans believe this.
We believe it!
(One more chapter, this one is a side story, I'll post the TPC and Land of Light side stories tomorrow!)
Chapter 48 Extra: We miss you so much, everyone misses you so much—Asuka!
Since the universe is uneven, the flow of time is also different.
In other words, in the quantum realm, spacetime is actually discontinuous.
This is based on the Planck scale, taking into account that quantum fluctuations may cause spacetime to become discontinuous, like a gas "bubble".
Perhaps only ten years have passed on Earth, but only a few days elsewhere.
So, 15 years have passed since Ultraman Dyna disappeared into the vast universe.
...And almost ten years have passed since Li Xiang entered the black hole.
Time is truly a merciless thing.
Time is merciless in the face of the short lifespan of humans; a mere instant in the universe is the lifetime of an ordinary person.
But humanity will never stop exploring; humanity will always pursue that light.
After Dyna left, Earth TPC restarted the original Zero Drive Project.
It was named the "New Zero Drive Plan".
The people in charge included Tsutomu Nakajima, Masami Horii (this translation is incorrect and does not use Masami Horii's name), and Tetsuo Shinjo, with Ryo Mimura serving as the pilot of the Plasma Hyakushiki.
Later, during an experiment in space, the experimental spaceship containing new energy was attacked by the remnants of the Sphia army. In the end, Li Xiang, a member of the second generation of the Victory Team, went alone to support the experimental spaceship.
Finally, with the help of Ultraman Tiga, who had not appeared for a long time, they defeated the remnants of Softia.
After the war, Li Xiang heard a call from a distant universe. With the approval of Staff Officer Ju Jianhui, Li Xiang piloted the Victory Swallow 1 into the black hole and traveled to other universes.
After that, the New Zero Drive Project was reorganized once again.
While inheriting the original Zero Drive Plan, which was launched to keep the promise made to Asuka, the goal of finding Ultraman has also been added.
Whether it's Asuka Shin or Li Xiang, TPC will not give up on him.
Humanity must use its own strength to find Ultraman Dyna and Ultraman Tiga.
Therefore, the "Meteor Drive Project" has been officially launched!
The Meteor Drive Project is a product of humanity's search for Ultraman and in response to Ultraman.
The "new energy" researched for the New Zero Drive Project was also incorporated into the Meteor Drive Project research.
And "new energy" was officially named "the light of humanity"!
It was discovered by Dr. Keigo Masaki, a power originating from humanity, a light within the human heart.
This power is incredibly strong, and the slightest mishap could bring about the destruction of humanity.
This is a double-edged sword!
