Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 216

There aren't many obstacles that can stop a peak-level Dragon King. Judging from the fact that the other party is frantically searching for human-hybrid powerhouses and then making them into threshold-level Dragon King puppets... there must be something fishy going on with the other party.

The power of one Dragon King is certainly unstable, and the power of two Dragon Kings may not be stable either. Once a fully-formed Dragon King appears, it will quickly give rise to the birth of three more fully-formed Dragon Kings...

Rather than getting caught up in an arms race, it's better to strengthen our own power.

However, non-Dragon King level power has almost no ability to influence the outcome of such battles. Don't be fooled by the fact that Chu Tianjiao, with Odin's enhancement, can fight Norton, who has just been revived, for 800 rounds.

Give Norton two years and see. Give Norton a dragon's body and see. I guarantee he can wipe out Chu Tianjiao with a single breath of dragon's breath.

Therefore, Odin is likely working on some new dragon king, because only a dragon king can influence the course of the war.

"A new Dragon King?"

“Yes, it’s highly likely to be the new Dragon King.” Jormungandr nodded. “Since the Black King Nidhogg was able to create the Eight Thrones, the Four Dragon Kings, and the White King, it’s impossible that we wouldn’t have any thoughts about this. Moreover, if this method can be quickly replicated, then Odin will have successfully gained control of a powerful force…”

Hearing this, the system asked with a strange expression: "And then repeat the same process of the Black King being rebelled twice? Even if he is not as strong as the Black King?"

“You know nothing about this,” Norton shook his head. “If it weren’t for the Supreme Being’s secret assistance, we would never have been able to rebel against the Black King and succeed. Only the Supreme Being had the power to seize that momentary opening. Once we completely defeat the Black King and then bring down the Supreme Being, Odin can sit firmly on the throne. After all, if you want to study the new Dragon King, you can’t avoid studying the power of kingship; you must study the power of kingship at the same time.”

"I know nothing. How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?" The system disliked the behavior of having no information at all while watching the other party show off with the information they knew.

It's a pity I really can't make a move, because if I do, I'll expose my weakness. Without the little devil backing me up, the system is also a bit nervous.

The system asked, "Even the Black King couldn't handle the Supreme Being, so what makes Odin think he can?"

“Because the Supreme One had only been passively taking hits before, without ever making a move or revealing his bottom line.” Norton shook his head. “When the Supreme One attacked the Black King last time and seized the opportunity, we already saw the Supreme One’s true nature.”

"So you didn't do any research?"

“We were quite far away, Odin was closest at the time…” Norton frowned. “It was only then that we learned that the Supreme Being was made of this kind of material. Otherwise, if we go back in time, we wouldn’t have known what the Supreme Being was at all. We only knew that the Supreme Being existed, but we didn’t know what the Supreme Being was.”

The system observed Jormungandr's expression across from Norton, and then gave up observing him after only a moment.

The other party is now the Dragon King, not Xia Mi, a human-hybrid. His acting skills are at a level of unparalleled mastery and complete control. Trying to find flaws through the other party's eyes and expressions is nothing short of wishful thinking.

"So how do you plan to recover your strength? By eating? There are plenty of creatures in the sea."

Norton said quietly, "We need to eat creatures of the bloodline. Ordinary creatures are of little use to us, almost negligible..."

"Oh." The system remembered the situation when the White King's remains were hatched.

In addition to absorbing the blood of the Dragon King Lenin, it also raised a large dragon blood ranch, where various marine creatures with bloodlines lived.

From this perspective, those creatures were indeed the pasture nutrients for the White King's remains.

"So there's no other way? After all, we're being watched right now, there's no way we can find you a ranch..."

The system then noticed a problem: both dragon kings were staring at Lu Mingfei, as if to say, "It's all up to you now..."

"Why are you looking at me like that? I don't understand anything. Aren't you supposed to know a lot? You handle it."

Jormungandr: "Ahem, this is something we can't handle ourselves. We'll have to rely on you, Boss Lu."

Norton: "Yeah, yeah, we're the Dragon Kings, a must-order dish on the menu. If we're not careful, they'll rush up and devour us. It's only thanks to Boss Lu that you can work, move freely, and not have to worry about what they think."

The system suddenly realized and said, "Oh, no wonder you were so stingy with your words before, you were saving them here. Give me my share of the benefits."

No wonder those two dragon kings remained silent and unwilling to say anything more. It turns out that this information could be converted into something they needed, which is why they were unwilling to say more in a non-transactional situation.

They were hoping to use it during the official transaction to gain more benefits.

Jormungandr said, "What do you need? You really, really need it, because there's not much we can actually do right now."

"What do I want..." The system looked the two dragon kings up and down.

Chapter 247 Royal Weapons

What Lu Mingfei needs most right now is power! It would be best if he could steal the power of that Supreme Being and the Little Devil, and even better if he could steal a few royal powers.

"Can you give me the throne?"

Jormungandr scoffed, "You don't need to say anything more meaningless. Next."

"So you can't offer anything right now?" The system looked at Norton. "At least Norton knows alchemy, right?"

Upon hearing this, Norton nodded. "Yes, yes, I am the King of Bronze and Fire. Alchemy is a piece of cake for me."

"Bullshit, as if anyone doesn't know alchemy." Jormungandr sneered. "Don't mistake me for a human like Xia Mi who doesn't know anything. I know alchemy too."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a pang of sadness. "Human Xia Mi..."

The domineering King of Earth and Mountains is now completely different from the lively Xia Mi he remembered.

Under normal circumstances... Xia Mi should never have existed, right? She was just a disguise of Jormungandr all along.

Perhaps there really was a girl named Xia Mi, just like the Norton Cataclysm opening, a dragon king cocoon, but outside she lived like a normal person as Old Tang.

However, with Jormungandr's powerful resurgence, the Xia Mi personality, which was similar to Old Tang's, has been conveniently eliminated by Jormungandr... Perhaps only the name Xia Mi remains in this world.

Lu Mingfei fell silent, a sudden pang of sadness gripping his heart. It was like a close friend had suddenly died—no, to be precise, vanished.

Although he, the system, and Xia Mi schemed against each other and exchanged sarcastic remarks along the way, it was undeniable that Xia Mi was a very good and interesting friend.

But now, Xia Mi has become a thing of the past?

Norton raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are your alchemy skills as good as mine?"

“It won’t be much different anyway,” Jormungandr said directly. “Just tell me what you need alchemy for.”

Without hesitation, the system said, "I want weapons, I want equipment. First, forge me a Gungnir."

Gungnir, the spear of destiny used by Odin, the king of the gods in Norse mythology, is not a fake, but a real thing.

It truly possesses the special effect of the Spear of Destiny, such as it will always hit the target when thrown.

Moreover, the Spear of Destiny carries a special effect, possessing devastating power against living beings.

Jormungandr immediately fell silent, his gaze shifting uncomfortably to the side, as if to say, "This wall is truly a wall."

Norton also turned his head to the side awkwardly.

The system immediately understood what the two dragon kings meant from their expressions: "It's possible, but very difficult, right?"

So, with both Dragon Kings on the stage, they each turned their heads to one side, fearing they would have to take matters into their own hands to deal with this.

“It is indeed difficult to make. It is an alchemical weapon that incorporates the power of the monarchy…” Norton thought to himself, and the Seven Deadly Sins that had been placed earlier immediately rushed over the obstacles.

The sword case didn't fly over with the seven weapons. After all, compared to the seven weapons, the sword case itself was only made from scraps. Norton could easily make another one with a thought, so there was no need to recall it.

The massive, wrathful sword, once in Norton's hands, immediately became completely different, as if it had come to life.

It radiates extreme heat, as if it wants to burn everything to ashes... and this weapon certainly has that power.

The other six weapons were also responding to Norton's call, but Norton did not take them.

Jormungandr was also drawn to the seven activated weapons.

Everyone knows what Norton made this thing for.

However, compared to Gungnir, the eternal spear that directly combines the royal power of the King of Sky and Wind, these seven weapons are more distinctive.

A single weapon is not the highest level of alchemical weapon. Seven weapons need to be combined together to form an alchemical matrix in order to be worthy of the corresponding royal alchemical weapon rank.

It requires the combination of a special alchemical matrix, which means that only the Dragon King, who possesses the royal power of the Bronze and Fire King, can wield and fully activate this thing.

This is also why she didn't steal it before. This thing wasn't very useful to her; it was just a useless item, neither good nor bad.

Furthermore, if she gets the alchemical weapon, and Norton recovers and starts fighting Lu Mingfei first, wouldn't her holding onto Norton's weapon be helping Lu Mingfei? After all, Norton will definitely be very weak in his newly recovered state, and without a suitable weapon, he would be slaughtered in one-sided fashion.

What she needs is a balanced situation, not a one-sided massacre.

Now that these weapons have fallen into Norton's hands, once activated, they can form the ultimate destructive force of the Bronze and Fire King's authority... There's no harm in looking at this stuff; it's just a precaution in case Norton suddenly attacks me one day. Knowing about these weapons will give me a handy defense.

“The Seven Deadly Sins aren’t suitable for you.” Norton looked at Lu Mingfei and shook his head. “Besides, you don’t seem to have any royal power, so we can’t help you build one… um…”

As he was speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something and fell silent.

"what happened?"

“I suddenly remembered something,” Norton said. “Do you remember the White King’s Kusanagi?”

"Of course I remember, incredibly sharp." After saying this, the system also analyzed why Norton said this, "The White King inherited the mantle of the Black King, and his royal power is most similar to that of the Black King. The Black King's rise to power is also extremely similar to that of the Supreme Being... Are you referring to a weapon modeled after the White King?"

“Hmm.” Norton nodded. “Currently, this is the only way to create a weapon that suits you. It has all the attributes of royalty, which means it’s not good at anything. Although it also means it won’t stand out, it might be the most suitable for you.”

"Oh..." The system continued its analysis before nodding.

……

Looking at the peace talks on the table, Mai Shude asked Su Enxi curiously, "Where will Lu Mingfei be targeting next? Two, no, three, or rather, three and a half Dragon Kings?"

After analyzing the situation briefly, Su Enxi said uncertainly, "I feel that given the current situation, he will choose to play it safe for now, and he will only come out when he has a strong army. It's not that he likes to play it safe, but he already has two Dragon Kings by his side, so there is no need to worry about his safety. He can develop in peace under the joint command of the two Dragon Kings."

The pale-faced man slowly shook his head, disagreeing, saying, "I think he'll find an opportunity to raise his strength to a higher level. Developing slowly takes too much time. Nobody feels at ease if they don't have control over their power, especially since his potential is already fixed. The two dragon kings will only get stronger."

"Is it possible for Lu Mingfei himself to break through the limitations of royal power?" Zero asked in surprise.

The man slowly shook his head: "Royal power is a very mysterious thing. It has its own mystique, and naturally, it also has aspects that are difficult for others to understand and crack."

"In the short term, my brother can be said to be safe and sound, but once this short period is over, he may be forced into a passive position. For both emotional and rational reasons, he needs to find opportunities to break through his limits, which is why he did not hand over the Constantine Dragon King's Bone Cross. If he cannot break through that boundary head-on, he can immediately choose to take a detour."

The three women didn't quite understand what the man was saying, and they didn't bother to refute him.

However… Su Enxi said thoughtfully, “Actually, there is another way…”

The man met her gaze, then nodded slightly: "Strike first."

No one has ever stipulated what the first place result must be. As long as a person can reach the first place, even if their strength is only twice that of the second to last person, they are still the first.

If Lu Mingfei can find a key problem, he can choose to run wildly down this path.

Su Enxi was somewhat doubtful: "In the current situation, is it possible to strike first? I'm afraid not, right? The others are developing too fast, and Lu Mingfei's current strength is simply not enough to deal with them. Unless he can take the Earth and Mountain Thrones, as well as the Bronze and Fire Thrones, to fight other Dragon Kings, eliminating the enemies while keeping the two Thrones in a state of severe injury, preventing them from exceeding his limit..."

At this moment, Zero suddenly spoke up: "This idea is indeed very good, but it may not be. In fact, there are other ways to break the deadlock. That is, we have never understood how Lu Mingfei is controlling the power of words."

From the moment they discovered Lu Mingfei's unusual behavior, they couldn't understand how he had managed to do it.

To other dragons or humans, this might seem like Lu Mingze's doing, but Lu Mingze knew perfectly well that it wasn't his doing at all, and he himself was completely baffled!

The suspicion about that dirty thing arises precisely from this, because it is unknown.

"This question... um... Sanwu, are you saying that Lu Mingfei can bypass the normal procedures for using royal power?" Jiude Mai said, "If it were really that easy, Lu Mingfei probably wouldn't be in this situation now, would he?"

Zero shook his head: "That's because you've never had a precise understanding of his strength. His strength has been constantly increasing, and he wasn't at his peak from the beginning. After the battle at the Three Gorges, his training in Word of Power reached its zenith. And in that battle at the Three Gorges, he used power at the level of a Dragon King. From this, we can infer that it was precisely because he used the power of a Dragon King that he made up for the deficiencies in his original Word of Power."

"Hmm." The man nodded, making a definitive statement and ending the potentially contentious issue.
