Chapter 518 Odin’s Legacy, the Emperor’s Position, and the Shadow’s Desire
When Herzog was receiving warm and friendly reception from Lu Mingze and reminiscing between old friends.
At the top of Tokyo Tower, once the tallest building in Tokyo, a dark figure stood at the top, like a crow perched on a branch.
"Scratch!"
There were actually two crows on the figure's shoulders. The two dark birds made a slightly noisy sound and looked a little disturbed.
The dark figure paid no attention to his two pets. He looked down at the city below him, as if overlooking the world, like a god, without having to speak and full of majesty.
If anyone saw this scene up close, they would definitely be extremely surprised, because whether it was the figure or the crow, their eyes were not of a common color, but shone with extremely bright golden light.
After a long time, Odin spoke in a low voice.
"The power outside the Black King's system...there is such a thing in the world!"
To this day, he is still shocked by the information he just received.
Maybe Su Mo himself was aware of it, but he didn't fully realize what the authority beyond the Black King's system represented.
The power within the dragon system is a strict system in which superiors suppress subordinates. The king has absolute authority over the dragons below. Even the original Jörmungandr has never really lost to any second-generation species.
As for the Black King, as the beginning and end of dragon power, his rule over dragon power is absolute. However, no dragon power can exceed his control. He rules the entire world with destiny and cannot be destroyed. , and cannot be blocked.
However, the power displayed by Su Mo broke the dominance of this system.
The power within the dragon system will inevitably be suppressed by the Black King. Even the power of the divine realm can only withstand it for a period of time. The White King will not be the Black King's opponent in the end.
But if it is a power outside the dragon system, it is completely different. The power outside the system can even negate the entire system.
In the past, Odin had high hopes for the human scientific system. Unfortunately, the evolution speed of the human scientific system has its limit. Odin has no doubt that human science and technology can defeat the Black King in another hundred years. But in fact, they do not have that long. The Day of Judgment is approaching, and it is too late for human technology to continue to develop.
But Su Mo was different. Although what he said about gaining power comparable to the Dragon King in more than a month was definitely not true, his strength did grow faster than he imagined.
More than a month ago, Su Mo was just an S-level hybrid. He had to rely on the fourth degree of violent blood and ancient boxing skills to barely fight against the Dragon King who had the spirit of speech sealed. But now, the ordinary Dragon King may not be his opponent.
"No wonder Lu Mingze chose to join forces with him and did not hesitate to cooperate with him like this."
Only today did Odin realize the possibilities contained in Su Mo.
The reason why this brother-in-law can become the link between the two forces of Jormungandr and Lu Mingze is not because he is good at dancing, but because he has what they need.
——The hope that transcends the end of the world.
If Su Mo is allowed to continue to grow, he might really be able to reach the divine realm, and with his speaking spirit, he might really be able to compete with the Black King.
After realizing this, even with his character, he couldn't help but regret it.
When Su Mo asked him if he would surrender, although he was categorical in his words, he was not so tough in his heart at all.
"If only..."
If Lu Mingze had revealed this to him, would there still be room for change?
Thinking this, Odin quickly shook his head.
"Impossible! I won't believe it!"
Although he is arrogant, he is not stupid and has a considerable degree of self-awareness.
Even if he didn't mention his innate distrust of Lu Mingze, even if he didn't have this level, he wouldn't believe what kind of potential Su Mo had. How could the power he had been looking for for a thousand years and not find be mastered by a mere human being? ?
Not to mention, since Su Mo had chosen Lu Mingze, it would be impossible for them to make peace. The conflict between him and Lu Mingze was irresolvable.
Thinking of this, Odin immediately gave up these unrealistic fantasies and focused on things that can be changed now.
The two crows on his shoulders also began to peck their own feathers, seeming to be thinking about something.
"It's still unclear whether Su Mo's path is feasible, but this does not affect my plan."
After all, the Dragon King-level authority is still too weak. Su Mo's new power may not evolve to a stronger level, and even if it evolves, it may not be the Black King's opponent.
Having the possibility of defeating the Black King does not mean that you will definitely be able to defeat the Black King.
"It is still unknown whether the power outside the system can really fight against fate...Using fate to fight against fate is a feasible method that has been verified by my father."
Thinking of this, Odin's eyes became firm.
"As long as this method is confirmed to be effective, my plan will be enough to overcome the end of the world!"
Until the last minute, it was still unclear which of his and Lu Mingze's plans was better, but Odin was confident enough in his choice.
After all, that was taught by the Black King himself, a method that was enough to fight against fate.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to drink and sing with others.
But everyone who was qualified to drink with him became his enemy.
And the only brother who was willing to believe in him unconditionally has been swallowed into his body.
"..."
Odin covered his chest. Even the heart of a god would inevitably feel throbbing pain at this moment.
He looked down at the world beneath his feet, his eyes lonely and indifferent.
Between heaven and earth, among the busy beings, no one can see him, and he doesn't care about anyone under his feet.
If power is the innate talent of dragons, then Bloodmourne is the innate curse of dragons. The stronger the bloodline, the thicker the Bloodmourn, and even the Dragon King cannot resist it.
He had thought many times about getting rid of his fate and rushing to death to gain the ultimate freedom, but he still did not do so.
Because he is not without any ties in this world.
Odin turned around and cast his sights to the north, farther than the horizon, where there was the continuation of his life and the existence that could cure his blood sorrow.
It was the light of his soul and the fire of his desire.
Just do what comes to mind.
Not wanting to endure pointlessly, he took out a diamond-encrusted mobile phone and immediately made a call.
After waiting for three or four minutes, the call was connected.
"Hi! Son, how are you doing? Do you miss me, dad?"
The majestic Supreme instantly removed his heavy armor, the crows on his shoulders flew away, and his golden eyes instantly went out.
The blond man was wearing board shorts and short-sleeved shirts, and he spoke like a rogue, teasing his son with a playful smile.
If they saw this scene, Professor Manstein and Chu Zihang would definitely have a lot in common with Caesar.
Are you high-blooded beings so unreliable as fathers?
On the other side of the phone, Caesar's face darkened when he heard his frivolous tone.
"The noble Dragon King Odin called you with what instructions?"
He asked coldly, emphasizing the words Dragon King Odin.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that his careless father could actually be the Dragon King himself. But after knowing this, his attitude towards Pompeii did not change at all.
He didn't feel that he should stand on the dragon's side just because he was the son of the Dragon King. He was Caesar, and he only stood on his own side.
Hearing Caesar's cold tone, Pompeii didn't care at all.
"Don't be so unfamiliar! You are my son, and you can be considered a second-generation species in the dragon class... Although you don't have this level of strength, strength or something doesn't matter. Just rely on your father and my identity. , you can also walk sideways everywhere!”
"Walking sideways? Ha!"
Caesar sneered.
"When you say walking sideways, do you mean that you have been chased by Dragon King Su Mo for most of the world, or do you mean that I am now imprisoned in this island by you, like a rat crossing the street, afraid to go out?"
He is indeed walking sideways on the current island, but with his current identity, he cannot leave at all. Once he appears in any corner of modern civilization, he will be hunted by the mixed-race alliance.
The Dragon King's son, even as a hostage, is still a very valuable being.
He could understand the reaction of the mixed-race alliance, but he just wanted to use it to ridicule Pompeii.
Upon hearing Caesar's accusation, Pompey immediately laughed dryly and argued forcefully.
"What does it mean to be hunted? I just played an exhibition match with him. Didn't you see that I don't have anything to do now? I can be the Dragon King at the divine level. Do you think I will be afraid of a mere Su Mo? What a joke!"
No matter what kind of father he is, he still needs face in front of his children.
Although he had just escaped from Su Mo, this did not stop him from bragging.
However--
"Exhibition match? You mean, the destruction of the Gattuso family was also part of your performance?"
Caesar asked sharply, with a hint of anger in his tone.
He used to hate the Gattuso family and thought that the family was like a prison and bound him. But even so, he didn't understand the family's indulgence and love for him. When the Gattuso family was still there, His rebellious heart temporarily ignored this, but when the Gattuso family was exterminated, he could no longer treat the family the same as before.
No matter how much he hated the family members, it was the place where he had lived since he was a child. But in just one day, the family was completely destroyed. He could no longer draw a clear line with the Gattuso family, and even finally regarded himself as To be part of the Gattuso family.
The tasks that were not completed when the Gattuso family existed were completed after its demise.
Unfortunately, Frost would not see this day.
"The Gattuso family...it was just an accident."
When Caesar mentioned this matter, Pompeii's tone became much lower.
He once hated this family more than Caesar, but this was something he had built with his own hands, and it was not anyone else's turn to destroy it.
"Accident? Do you mean that you never expected that your family would be the target of the opponent's attack, or that you only thought about defeating the opponent at that time and did not take the Gattuso family to your heart at all?"
Caesar asked sharply.
It was Su Mo who destroyed the Gattuso family, but it was Odin who involved the Gattuso family in this war. As the mastermind behind the scenes, it would be unavoidable to say that he had no idea that the Gattuso family would be in danger of being destroyed. Treating people too much as fools.
He clearly just wasn't paying attention, otherwise even if the Gattuso family was dispersed in advance, they wouldn't have ended up in near total annihilation.
Under Caesar's questioning, Pompeii was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to lie to Caesar. He really didn't take the Gattuso family too seriously before. Some things only feel precious if they are lost.
Therefore, he could only explain it this way.
“Sacrifice is inevitable for the greater goal.”
This pale explanation naturally failed to convince Caesar.
"What goal is worth such a sacrifice? For you to be able to devour your own brothers? Is it your ambition to dominate the world?"
Caesar said with hidden anger.
He knew that his words might be a bit extreme, but Pompeii's words were too shameless. Did the Gattuso family agree to such a sacrifice? !
"Caesar--!!!"
Hearing Caesar's sharp words, a thunderous roar erupted from the other side of the phone.
Pompeii's veins popped out, and the golden light surged in his eyes. Swallowing Li Wuyue was a more sensitive wound in his heart than the Gattuso family. Caesar poked it hard without any scruples, letting him I can barely control my emotions.
In the face of Pompeii's roar, Caesar cocked his neck and did not retreat at all.
"Why, did I tell you what I said, or do you still want to devour me for your goal?"
On the phone across the ocean, the father and son faced each other across the void, with the same golden light shining in their eyes.
Caesar was not afraid of death, but he would rather die than bow to Pompeii, because for this idle man, his mother died and his family was destroyed. Now Caesar was alone and fearless.
After a long silence.
Pompeii's face turned completely pale.
In the confrontation between father and son, he chose to compromise.
"My goal... I can't tell you now. You will know it when you grow up. You will understand me then."
The most commonly used saying by parents is also the most incomprehensible saying by children - "You will understand when you grow up".
"Hmph! You sound like my father."
Caesar then sneered.
"I was originally your father, your father whose blood is thicker than water."
Pompey immediately retorted.
"No, I don't have a father, I am my mother's child!"
Caesar's expression remained stubborn.
"For a man like you, I'm afraid my birth is also an accident, the same accident as the Gattuso family."
Having said this, he showed a sarcastic smile again. Since he was a child, this so-called father has basically never taken care of him, and there is no accumulation of feelings between them. The rare encounters are basically retaliation for each other.
Apart from the blood relationship, it was difficult for him to regard this careless man as his father.
After hearing his words, Pompeo immediately shook his head and whispered with unprecedented seriousness.
"No, only you are definitely not an accident...Caesar, you are the child I have been waiting for."
At this point, Pompeo seemed embarrassed to be so sensational. He cleared his throat and forcibly switched to a lively tone.
"Ahem! Son, I know it's impossible for you to accept that your father is such an awesome Dragon King so quickly, but it doesn't matter. With my father's love as deep as a mountain, I naturally won't care about this. A little something!”
"So, how about playing a game? If you call me daddy, I will leave all my inheritance to you."
"If you inherit my inheritance, you will become the emperor of the new world. Su Mo is nothing, he can suppress it with his backhand, and he will surrender to you no matter what. I remember the girl you like, she seems to like Su Mo, right? When the time comes, you can snatch it back at will, let alone women, the whole world is yours!"
In order to get Caesar to call him daddy, he did not hesitate to seduce him, and even brought out the objects of Caesar's crush, hoping to induce Caesar to say those words.
However, he obviously didn't realize the expression on Caesar's face when he heard his frivolous remarks across the phone.
Especially when he heard Pompeii mention Nono, the veins on Caesar's forehead suddenly popped out.
He did like Nono, but he didn't go so far as to use force to rob her. It was precisely because he liked her that he wanted her to find her own destination.
A true gentleman will not stop a girl from running towards her own happiness. This is the cultivation of a noble. This is also what his mother taught him. It is completely different from the style of Pompeii, a stallion.
Just the idea of treating Nono as prey was enough to arouse Caesar's strong disgust. What made him even more angry was that Pompeii's frivolous tone reminded him of his mother.
Therefore, for this man, his mother should be just one of the many prey he has hunted!
That's why he ignored that woman, and that's why his mother died in loneliness.
Thinking of this, his eyes became completely fierce.
"Shut up! A man like you is not worthy of being a husband, nor is he worthy of being a father!"
"Now, take your filthy gift and get out!"
Pompeii's attitude of completely ignoring the free will of others completely angered Caesar. That condescending attitude was definitely not the perspective that humans should have.
When facing this kind of person, there is no need to continue the conversation. The values of both parties are completely different.
He slammed the phone to the ground and left without looking back.
He was so angry that he didn't notice why Pompeii used the word "legacy" for a moment.
On the other side of the phone, Pompeo let out a long sigh.
"Oh, it's so difficult to educate children. I'm so reluctant to even call them daddy!"
He originally wanted to ease the atmosphere with Caesar, saying that he knew the situation would get worse, and it seemed that he did not have much experience as a father.
After Caesar's footsteps faded away, another hand with white gloves picked up the phone from the sand that had not been hung up.
"Mr. Pompeii, the young master has left!"
Patsy respectfully reported to the Dragon King on the other side of the phone.
"It's really hard to handle someone who is still in the rebellious stage at such a young age!"
Pompeo complained again.
"If you are so disobedient, I'm afraid if you throw the inheritance in front of him, he won't accept it!"
"The young master just hasn't had time to change his stance. Considering his character, maybe you can slowly change him. The young master's character is actually more soft-spoken than tough."
Patsy immediately gave his own advice, perhaps knowing more about Caesar than Caesar himself.
"It is indeed possible to slowly reform, but I don't have so much time."
Odin shook his head.
"Forget it, let's arrange it in advance! Percy, I hid something in the most secret coffin on the island. That box can only be opened by the blood of the Gattuso family. It is also a must for the plan. It was originally intended to be left to Kai. It’s a birthday gift from Satan, but it seems like he won’t take the initiative to get it, so I’ll leave it to you to keep.”
"Before the plan begins, remember to give this to Caesar. This tranquilizer is the most important qualification for the plan. There is only one copy in this world, so don't lose it."
It seems that he attaches great importance to this item, and Pompeii gave a rare solemn warning.
"clear!"
Patsy immediately nodded and accepted the order.
"This is the long-cherished wish of our Gattuso family. I will definitely fulfill your instructions and let the young master ascend the throne of the new era."
"Very good, I can rest assured that you will do the work!"
Pompeo obviously trusted Passy very much. After a few words of encouragement, he reiterated the importance of tranquilizers and hung up the phone.
After the call was completely hung up, Patsy stood for a long time on the deserted beach, holding the cell phone that had been thrown out by Caesar.
Ten minutes later, under the huge wind and waves on the shore, he sighed in a very small voice that even Yanling Kamamitachi could not hear clearly.
"Mr. Pompeii really dotes on the young master——"
As for the second half, no matter how strong the storm was, he kept it hidden in his heart.
"——But, I am also a child of the Gattuso family!"
Half of his eyes were hidden in the shadow of his hanging hair, making it difficult to see clearly.
