Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 215

After all, the situation of the Bronze and Fire Kings is not as good as that of the Earth and Mountain Kings—Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross was destroyed! They have already lost their status as Dragon Kings!

If Jormungandr leaves, he can immediately bring Erifin over, and then it will be two against one, which will be the unlucky one for Norton.

So if faced with that situation, Norton would definitely be the first to act.

Norton thought for a moment, then became irritated again. "Fine, Jormungandr is reluctant to tell you, so I'll just tell you directly."

"The reason why the dragon race was able to rise up and become the only extraordinary race is because the dragon race is special from the start. Under normal circumstances, there should not be dragons on Earth, nor should there be humans on Earth. Just as we all know, in probability theory, even if the probability is very small, as long as it exists, it will inevitably happen given a sufficient number of people."

"But if you were to actually do something like that in reality, it would be like taking apart all the parts of a computer, throwing them into the ocean, and trying to reassemble the computer and get the driver system working by the ocean currents. That's absolutely impossible on Earth. You would have to scale it up to the Milky Way galaxy to make it possible."

The system nodded slightly, acknowledging this statement.

Humans and dragons are indeed very rare things, no less than life arising from a collision in the vast starry sky.

However, this is clearly not the case under normal circumstances, so dragons appeared, and then humans appeared...

"The question of whether dragons or the extraordinary came first is like asking humanity whether scientific development or the laws of nature came first. The extraordinary elements came first, followed by the dragon race. Then the appearance of the dragon race cut off the possibility for other creatures to touch the extraordinary elements, which is why the dragon race is a unique species."

After hearing this, the system analyzed it briefly and roughly deduced a possibility:

[...The dragon race, at the level of extraordinary elements, directly severed the opportunity for other creatures to naturally come into contact with the elements...]

It's like human technology editing an animal's genes, deleting some gene segments, and completely severing the organism's genetic inheritance...

Lu Mingfei was also surprised when he saw this analysis, but after hesitating for a moment, he accepted the possibility.

Human technology is clearly not yet capable of achieving that level, but we cannot view the dragon race from a human perspective, because you have no idea what kind of divine beings the dragon race has evolved into over such a long period of time.

If humanity is given more time to develop, and one or two extraordinary individuals emerge who unlock the key to this, it might truly be able to cap the intellectual potential of other life forms and completely dominate the Earth...

Norton continued, "As for your matter, it's actually included within the dragon race—what was the most glorious period for the dragons? Was it when Nidhogg, the Black King, established the dragon dynasty?"

The system is unaware that the only information it has collected so far is about the Black King ruling the dragon race and developing a grand dragon dynasty. As for what happened before the Black King unified the dragon race and developed the dragon dynasty, it knows nothing.

"The unification of the dragon race under the Black King was indeed the most glorious period for the dragon race, because many conflicts were suppressed. However, this does not mean that it was the highlight of humanity. In addition to this unified dragon dynasty, if we go back further in time, the dragon race actually had another glorious period that is unknown to most people. It was during that period that the dragon race severed its perception of the extraordinary elements that originated from life."

Norton's expression was complicated. "This matter is top secret information that has been sealed off. Later dragons know almost nothing about this past because dragons are emotional beings, and having emotions can lead to compassion. The dragons that know this information have all slowly pondered those tiny bits of data and made their own deductions. If you want to know the true and complete history, it is probably only the Black King who knows it."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself: This is probably because Constantine didn't know... It's not a normal record at all; it's entirely based on his own speculation. And since he's speculating, he can't share it as a theory with other dragons because it's taboo...

"And regarding you, regarding that supreme being... it involves the formation of the dragon royal power."

Norton turned his gaze to Lu Mingfei and said, "The boundary that distinguishes Dragon Kings from ordinary dragons is royal power. This is fixed, and no matter how hard an ordinary dragon tries, it can never break this constraint. Just like insects that eat grain in the ground, no matter how much they evolve drug resistance, they can't withstand a frog's bite."

Lu Mingfei found Norton's words quite interesting. "No matter how much a bug is purified to develop drug resistance, it can't beat a frog's bite." Interesting and realistic.

"The monarchy wasn't unified at first. It was the complete exploration of the monarchy that created the Black King's glory and gave him the ability to unify the dragon race. However, in the process of unifying the monarchy, some unexpected accidents occurred... Since you said that you could bring Constantine back to life and extract Constantine's soul to reshape a human body and place it there, do you think that those things could, in another accidental accident, create an aggregate derived from the monarchy?"

Lu Mingfei: ? ? ?

【……！ ！ ……】

Lu Mingze, no, Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze, do they really have such a powerful background?

The power of royalty, such a terrifying thing, does indeed have such power. Nidhogg, the Black King, manipulated royal power, integrating it into his own body, thus creating an unparalleled black dragon.

However, during the process of unification, it is reasonable that the monarchy developed its own consciousness due to some insignificant accidents, after all, it is such a magical thing.

Supreme!

No wonder it's called the Supreme Being! Born for the monarchy, one with the monarchy, and possibly even above the monarchy, what else could it be but the Supreme Being?

After all, in the world of dragons, the most powerful thing is the monarchy.

After Norton finished explaining the matter, he asked Lu Mingfei, "So what exactly is your situation now? That Supreme Being has suffered a lot because the Black King wanted to unify the royal power. He was even the one who brought down the Black King from his throne and altar. But it is also a fact that the dragons have a grudge against him. If he is given the chance to be resurrected, he will definitely not hesitate to wipe out all dragons. I don't know if the Supreme Being likes other creatures, but he definitely doesn't like the dragons."

The system didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "This matter shouldn't be that simple. There must be other hidden details, right? You know, the Supreme Being you mentioned isn't exactly what you describe, or at least not entirely accurate."

After thinking for a moment, Norton slowly shook his head: "I don't know if there's anything else involved, at least I don't know."

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Jormungandr.

Everyone is secretly researching those taboo things from the past, after all, they all want to know what exactly happened in the past that made the Dragon Dynasty suddenly glorious and powerful.

Then each dragon has a different research direction and its own speculation.

Although their research and deductions are generally consistent, they may be completely different in some details, since each of their dragon kings has different knowledge.

"Don't look at me. My research on this also stops here. I'm not too sure about it either."

Jormungandr also shook his head decisively, indicating that he didn't know any more than Norton.

"My current situation..."

After analyzing the situation for a while, the system finally spoke: "My current situation is rather complicated. I possess a portion of the power of that Supreme Being, but I cannot fully control it. Jormungandr should be quite aware of my situation, and she knows perfectly well whether I am lying or not."

"He was not lying."

Jormungandr nodded.

Lu Mingfei's skills and abilities are unpredictable, sometimes divine and sometimes unpredictable.

Chapter 246 Eight Hundred Thoughts

As the Dragon King who had been lurking around Lu Mingfei for more than half a year, although all his previous deductions were wrong, he had still collected a lot of information.

The other party was truly sparing no effort in collecting all kinds of information about the dragon race, as if they knew nothing about it.

She had previously thought the other person was acting, since she followed the same pattern: trying to play the role of a human and then using that identity to learn about the world of dragons and gain their power.

Try to make your identity appear as normal as possible.

Of course, from the Dragon King's perspective, many of the actions were baffling, as he had no idea what the opponent was up to, since he could easily obtain all the relevant information.

Xia Mi could only interpret it as something a person should do.

Having gotten to know each other fairly well, Norton cut straight to the point, asking, "So what should we do now? I bet a lot of eyes are on this place. We can cover up what happened earlier a little, but those eyes won't be off the hook."

Jormungandr said sarcastically, "The best way is to wholesale Dragon Kings. If you can't wholesale Dragon Kings, you can wholesale the next generation. With enough power, you can ignore the ill-intentioned gazes of most people."

She certainly doesn't have the power to wholesale super dragons, but just because she doesn't doesn't mean others don't.

Norton possesses top-tier alchemy skills, and Lu Mingfei, with his exceptional background, is able to quickly grasp them, and might even break through his limits soon.

Wholesale Dragon Kings might be a bit difficult, but quickly wholesaling a batch of agents at the level of general managers shouldn't be too hard.

Norton naturally understood what the other party meant, and said speechlessly, "You make it sound so simple, why don't you do it?"

"What is their purpose?" After uttering this question, the system followed up with, "And what is your purpose?"

Jormungandr said, “Your purpose is still unknown to me, because you know too little, and your purpose is too many to count. But the ultimate purpose of us, the King of Earth and Mountains and the King of Bronze and Fire, is certainly to live, to live as long as possible.”

The system asked, "What exactly did you do? How could the mighty Dragon King's ultimate goal be survival? How did you manage to dethrone the Black King Nidhogg?"

Norton sighed: "That's a long story..."

The system immediately replied, "Then take your time. I have plenty of time now."

Jormungandr said, "Nidhogg the Black King is not invincible. Although dragons can achieve a form of immortality through metamorphosis, they are not truly immortal; it's just that their lifespan is far longer than that of humans. While Nidhogg the Black King doesn't have the direct weakness of needing to metamorphose, he is still vulnerable. During one of his rare moments of weakness, the Supreme Being intervened. Then we saw him initiate the attack and followed suit."

The system asked, "Did the Supreme One promise you something?"

Jormungandr pinched a crack between his thumb and forefinger. "He did promise a little bit..."

"Are you trying to play some kind of fingertip universe game with me?"

"Ahem, when we realized that the Black King was not an invincible eternal power, a crack appeared in our faith."

"Oh, so ambition is growing? Dragons also have emotions, so just like humans, they can also develop desires for power and lust."

"Don't be so blunt..."

"What are you afraid of now that you've already done it all? What you Dragon Kings are going to do now is devour each other's dragon bone crosses to increase your own strength as much as possible..."

"Wait a minute." Jormungandr suddenly interrupted the system, saying, "What you said is not entirely correct, because whether the Dragon Kings can inherit each other's kingship by devouring each other's Dragon Bone Cross is only a possibility, and it has never been completely realized."

Norton nodded slightly: "I remember something from Old Tang's memory. You took action against the White King of Japan, but in the end you found out that it was just a White King Saint. Whether it was the real White King is still unknown, because the new White King never came into being. However, since the Black King could fabricate our Four Dragon Kings and the White King, the White King, as the Dragon King most similar to the Black King, should also have the means to fabricate a minor king."

"I suddenly thought of the Odin puppet. Elevating a normal human hybrid to that level isn't impossible, but it comes at a cost; in the long run, it's a loss. Unless there's a reason for elevating a normal human hybrid to that level, or perhaps it's just a byproduct of some experiment… for example…"

"For example, what?" the system asked.

“I’m not quite sure what they’re thinking,” Norton shook his head.

Jormungandr's eyes gleamed.

These two dragons clearly have no good intentions. For example, they definitely know something, but they just don't want to say it.

Is it because they're unsure, or because it's too shocking? Or is it because revealing this would have a negative impact on them?

This alliance is like the 18 warlords, each with their own ulterior motives. Although Lu Mingfei, Yuan Shao, can maintain his top position by relying on some other external factors, he simply cannot control the various warlords below him.

However, the system remained calm. If something can't be said on the table, can't it be said underneath?

Both dragon kings have designs on each other. Whoever I swing my power towards will win. Once we get under the table, we can talk things out slowly.

The system shrugged and said, "So what should we do now? I don't know what methods you have or what kind of power you can exert. Before I know all the specific information, I don't have much to say about this matter... Anyway, I'm not going to die, so do whatever you want."

"There are still some things to do."

Norton said, "We can try to raise the power of me, Jormungandr, and Erifin to their peak first. Dragon bodies have different growth stages: juvenile, sub-adult, adult, and peak. The difference in strength between each stage is huge. It is only because we are the Dragon King and have royal power that we can minimize the gap between each stage. If it were an ordinary dragon, this gap would be fatal."

"And what about me?" the system asked.

Finding a way to restore the Dragon Kings' power is indeed possible, but if the Dragon Kings regain their power, Lu Mingfei will immediately go from a vacant position to a clinging position... is that possible?

After all, Norton and Jormungandr didn't know Lu Mingfei's exact background. As long as Lu Mingfei didn't go all out, he would have enough of a deterrent effect.

Just like nuclear weapons deterrence, as long as I have nuclear weapons, as long as I can lead everyone to mutual destruction, then you can't force me, otherwise we'll all die together if I'm not careful.

Jormungandr suddenly grinned and said, "I don't know anything about your affairs."

Where does Lu Mingfei's power reside? It's so hard to guess...

Norton's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and he showed no intention of speaking. After all, it belonged to his younger brother, and to the dragonbone cross of his throne as the Bronze and Fire King.

As a derivative of the supreme power, and as a derivative of the supreme power, could Lu Mingfei possibly restore his own power by absorbing the royal power of the King of Bronze and Fire? This is quite likely.

It's just that there isn't a correct and effective method for absorbing it at present.

But Norton couldn't accept that either!

"Odin may be working on a new dragon king, which has caused a depletion of his power, or he may have been severely injured in a battle with another dragon king, which is why he has refrained from making a move."

Norton immediately changed the subject, saying, "He woke up much earlier than us. With his abilities, he could have easily recovered to his peak condition. If he had come here with his peak strength, we would most likely have had no way to fight back and would have had to wait to die. But he didn't do that, which means there was resistance in front of him, forcing him to choose to stop."
