The Black King is the beginning of everything and the end of everything. In the eyes of most people, this is an existence similar to God or Satan.
Whether it is for dragons or humans, he symbolizes absolute power and absolute terror.
When the Black King awakens, civilization will come to an end, the world will come to an end, and everything will come to an end.
Regardless of whether they believe in this prophecy or not, people cannot ignore the danger symbolized by the ancient dragon king Black King. Many hybrids still cannot believe that the Black King will revive.
But now, Su Mo actually said that the Red Tide is related to the Black King.
Doesn't this mean that the Black King is not dead and can even exert influence on the outside world?
Under the extremely nervous eyes of everyone, Lu Mingze nodded slightly.
"Um!"
He actually agreed with Su Mo's statement!
Just when Su Enxi's eyes widened and she wanted to ask, "Boss, is it too late for us to run away now?" Lu Mingze added another sentence.
"But don't worry, it's not time for his resurrection yet. He is still an incompletely developed embryo and what he can do is very limited."
Just like the three-generation embryos that Su Mo encountered before, even if they did not hatch, they could still fight back with the help of their hosts. Although the Black King was not truly resurrected, he could still exert some influence on the world.
"What do you mean by very limited?"
Su Enxi asked nervously.
A little bit of the Black King is different from a little bit of a human being. A little bit of power from this supreme being is enough to instantly kill the original Dragon King Jörmungandr.
"I don't know either."
Lu Mingze spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.
"Otherwise I wouldn't have warned you to be careful."
Compared with known threats, unknown threats are naturally more terrifying. Lu Mingze is indeed very strong, but even he cannot detect the Black King's intentions.
"The only thing I know is that he is most likely here to help Odin."
"Helping Odin...is it the same as last time?"
Su Mo asked after thinking for two seconds.
Previously, Odin's awakening from death was obviously earlier than expected. At that time, Su Mo suspected that the Black King was behind the scenes, and Lu Mingze also recognized this view.
Unexpectedly, the Black King would take action again so soon.
"Yes, it seems that he is getting more and more uneasy."
Lu Mingze had a slight smile on his lips.
If he were alone, he would not be able to push the Black King to this level anyway. To the Black King, he is a known constant. Only the variable Su Mo would make the Black King so impatient.
Although he cannot see a future related to Su Mo now, judging from the performance of the Black King, it is probably very detrimental to him.
The more anxious the enemy is, the more it means he is doing the right thing.
Su Mo naturally saw this, but he did not take it lightly.
"White King, Odin, just these two, the situation is already chaotic enough. If Black King is added to the mix, even with our current strength, we will not be able to completely control the situation, right?"
The most reliable combat power on their side is Miss Xia Mi. Lu Mingze's incomplete combat power can only be used as a surprise soldier at best.
With the power of Xia Mi's dual authority, she does not need to fear any Dragon King except the Black King, but if the Black King has a foot in the back, she cannot be so optimistic.
After so long, Odin will probably be able to fully control his own power, and Gungnir will definitely be more powerful in his hands.
Although Su Mo's exclusive word spirit has also improved and can barely block Gungnir for a while, they still don't have the weapons to confront him head-on. Even if they are not afraid of Odin, this is still a problem.
After hearing Su Mo's words, Lu Mingze shook his head.
"Even the Black King cannot arbitrarily separate the power that can resist the existence of the divine realm in this state. At most, he can just do some small actions as before, without excessive worry."
If the Black King could really interfere with the outside world on a large scale, Odin would not only have been resurrected a few days in advance, but would have been resurrected on the spot.
Nowadays, Xia Mi's strength is not what it used to be. She has the complete authority of the two elements. Even if she faces the complete White King, she may not be at a disadvantage. Even the complete version of the Black King in the past is probably not able to defeat him.
Slap her to death.
In the current state of the Black King, who is not even considered an embryo, he naturally cannot participate in a battle at the divine level with a red tide. What needs to be worried about is that he is playing dirty tricks.
"However, your consideration is also very reasonable. In order to be safe, we must further strengthen the protection of our strength."
In terms of seeking stability, Lu Mingze and Su Mo have quite the same ideas.
At this point, Su Enxi suddenly raised her hand.
"By the way, Su Mo! And the boss! I have something I haven't had time to report to you yet. It might be useful to you."
"whats the matter?"
"It's Dragon King Norton...ah, no, he and Constantin asked me to bring a message to Su Mo about the next generation of Norton!"
"What words?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
Ever since Constantine delivered the goods himself and was separated from the most important authority by Su Mo, the twins of bronze and fire have lost most of their use value.
In order to continue squeezing Constantine's residual value, Su Mo entrusted Constantine to Su Enxi, just like Norton before, so that they could continue to exert their next-generation combat effectiveness and serve as thugs for this cheap sister.
Anyway, with their strength, they will not be able to participate in the subsequent battles. It would be too dangerous for human society to allow them freedom. It is better to adopt a semi-supervisory method and let the two brothers help make a little money.
After doing this, Su Mo forgot about the two dragon kings. He didn't expect that they actually had something to say to him.
"Could it be that...he wants to complain that you are too stingy and your salary is too low?"
He joked casually.
"How is that possible! I'm not Xia Mi!"
Su Enxi retorted reflexively.
She is not stupid, and she is not stingy enough to even deduct the Dragon King's reward. Although they only have the power of the top next generation level, it is enough to turn the black gold swan into a black roast duck.
"He's here to tell you, Su Mo—"
Su Enxi continued.
Halfway through her words, she suddenly got stuck because Miss Xia Mi, who had a kind smile on her face, appeared in front of her at some point and gently held her shoulders.
"Putting aside what Norton wants to say, should you explain what 'I'm not Xia Mi' means? It seems that you have a lot of opinions about me!"
The girl stared at her with a sly smile and issued a death question.
"What, potato chip girl? Could it be that in your mind I am actually very stingy?"
——Don’t you have some ideas in mind?
Su Enxi wanted to scold him so loudly, but in the face of Xia Mi's pressure, she could only swallow her anger and show a flattering smile.
"No, I don't dare! I, what I mean is not this, but...but that I am not as broad-minded as Miss Xia Mi and cannot please Su Mo. How dare Norton let me pass on my own bad words?
?”
Su Enxi's quick wit made Miss Xia Mi nod with satisfaction.
Yes, she is the one who is talking about being broad-minded!
After fooling Xia Mi, Su Enxi looked at Su Mo and continued the previous topic.
"Norton asked me to help him thank you!"
"thank?"
Su Mo was stunned.
To be fair, he didn't seem to have done anything good to Norton. He had deprived the bronze and fire twins of their authority. It was Su Mo who threatened the two to submit. He didn't even let them go free in the end and continued to squeeze their labor power.
Based on this relationship alone, it is not surprising that Norton would hate him for the rest of his life. How could he thank him?
"He said, thank you for your willingness to keep your promise and reunite the two brothers."
Su Enxi relayed Norton's words seriously.
"...the bond between brothers?"
Su Mo immediately understood.
For him, he was squeezing the labor force of Norton and Constantine so that they could continue to contribute value, but for these brothers, this was a rare quiet time in their lives.
Losing the authority of the Dragon King is tantamount to losing the power to resist. This also means that they no longer have to think about how to deal with the end of the world every day, and they no longer have to think about devouring their brothers, or letting their brothers devoure themselves.
They can completely continue to live in human society as ordinary second-generation species brothers.
From this perspective, it was Su Mo who gave them peace and happiness.
Recalling that Norton was completely uncooperative back then, acting like he was in a desperate situation, and would not give in until Su Mo threatened him, I am afraid that Norton had little hope that Su Mo would keep his promise from the very beginning.
According to the laws of dragons, the winner gains everything, and the loser loses everything. Without their authority, they have no value in living.
Unexpectedly, Su Mo did not abide by the laws of dragons and would actually let them go and reunite their brothers.
The lower the expectation, the greater the surprise, so Norton wanted to thank him.
"I accepted their thanks."
Su Mo nodded and did not refuse.
"But why are you talking about this suddenly?"
After accepting his thanks, he asked again.
"To express his gratitude, Norton said he would tell you a secret."
Su Enxi added quickly.
"He said that the forging method of the strongest magic sword is in the box of the Seven Deadly Sins. You only need to use [Spiritual Recasting] to smelt it to see the blueprint and the hidden alchemical matrix."
"He also said that the Seven Deadly Sins are actually only half-finished products. Only after obtaining the complete authority of the King of Bronze and Fire and becoming the God of Fire, Surtur, can one master the purest flame."
"Only with the strongest flame at the divine level can we melt the semi-finished Seven Deadly Sins and complete the final step of forging, fusing the Seven Deadly Sins into the unique Branch of Destruction."
"He promises that the power of this magic sword will never be inferior to Gangnir."
Su Enxi originally planned to tell this information from the beginning, but Lu Mingze had a new mission at that time. Su Mo and Xia Mi were going to recover the King of Ocean and Water, so she didn't tell it for a while. Only now was she reminded.
After hearing this, Miss Xia Mi's eyes sparkled in astonishment, while Su Mo and Lu Mingze showed expressions that were indeed like this.
The Seven Deadly Sins are weapons forged by Norton to kill other Dragon Kings. They are called the pinnacle of alchemy, but such a peak is actually only a semi-finished product for Dragon King Norton.
Anyone who hears this news for the first time will definitely be extremely shocked, but many people present, including Miss Xia Mi, have actually known the news for a long time.
Although Dragon King Norton kept a very strict tone, he didn't really reveal this secret until now. If Su Mo really killed them casually, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to swallow up this part of the memory, and he wouldn't be able to learn the existence of the most powerful magic sword from him.
But Constantine was not strict with his words. From the beginning, Su Mo deceived this information from Constantine.
"Not inferior to Gangnir's Branch of Destruction. Sure enough, the final product of the Seven Deadly Sins is the strongest magic sword in Nordic mythology - Levadin?"
From Norton's name, Su Mo quickly guessed the name of this artifact.
In Nordic mythology, the flaming magic sword Levadin is the weapon of the fire giant Surtur. After the end of Ragnarok, Surtur used this sword to burn the entire world. This is one of the few things in Nordic mythology that can
An artifact as famous as Gangnir.
Thinking about it, this sword should have been a gift from Norton to his younger brother, which is why he was so strict with Constantine in terms of alchemy and made him have to learn [Spiritual Recasting].
Among the Seven Deadly Sins, there is a weakness corresponding to his own [Rage], but there is no weakness corresponding to Constantine.
Norton probably hoped that one day Constantine could devour him and become Surtur, the god of fire. After mastering the strongest flame, he understood his painstaking efforts and forged the semi-finished Seven Deadly Sins he left behind, and the brothers worked together to create
The strongest magic sword Levadin, thus gaining the power and opportunity to resist the Black King.
However, Norton certainly didn't expect that his plan would be aborted before it even started, and they would immediately withdraw from the battlefield after being deprived of their power.
After realizing that Su Mo would not kill them, he immediately understood his situation after weighing the pros and cons.
If Su Mo wins the Black King, their brothers can continue to live. If Su Mo loses, they will definitely die in front of the resurrected Black King.
In this case, it is the worst policy to keep this secret and let it die. It is the best policy for them to dedicate this secret to enhance the winning rate of Su Mo's side and get a little extra attention.
It is not surprising that he would make this choice.
"The blood of any king must end with the sword, so that's what it means..."
Lu Mingze recalled the inscriptions on the Seven Deadly Sins sword box, and then he realized that the "sword" highlighted in the center of the sword box actually referred to the unborn Levadin.
"If this magic sword can be successfully forged, let alone Odin, this weapon should be able to be effective even when facing the Black King."
The blessings brought by powerful weapons are no less than the authority of the Dragon King. The most troublesome part for Odin has always been Gungnir in his hand. If he can obtain this magic sword, Odin's threat will be reduced a lot.
"It seems that although Norton only mastered one alchemical kingdom, his level of alchemy is not necessarily lower than Odin's."
Su Mo sighed a little.
If [Spiritual Recasting] hadn't required too high a flame temperature, Norton might have been able to make this artifact by himself.
Looking at it this way, his reputation as the King of Alchemy is still preserved.
"By the way, after Norton said this, Constantine also asked me to bring you something."
Su Enxi spoke again, imitating Constantine's tone and repeating.
"——My brother's alchemy is the best in the world!"
Hearing this familiar tone, Su Mo couldn't help but smile.
He had used these words to trick the secret out of Constantine before.
"Then you can also help me bring them a message, just say thank you for their gifts."
"yes!"
Su Enxi immediately wrote it down.
After a while, Lu Mingze looked at Su Mo seriously.
"I'll leave the matter of the magic sword Levadin to you as well."
Norton revealed this secret in a timely manner. If Su Mo had not taken the lead, he might not have known about it in a hundred lifetimes - with his temper, he would never let these rebellious ministers go.
Now it seems that Su Mo's style of not killing everyone has unexpected benefits. With this sword, they will be more confident in the battle against the Black King.
This is something that can help my brother escape his fate!
As for the forging of the magic sword Levadin, only Su Mo and Xia Mi meet the conditions now, not even Lu Mingze himself.
The flames of Surtur, the god of fire, must be used to meet the minimum requirements.
And given Miss Xia Mi's forging talent... let alone mentioning it, it would be more secure to let Su Mo borrow the mask to make it.
"no problem."
Su Mo nodded.
Even if we don't mention Levatine's power, just forging the artifact will be of great help to increase the experience value of his [Alchemy] skill.
When his alchemy is strong enough, he might be able to design and build an artifact of the same level on his own without Norton's plan.
However, now is not the time to talk about this. He has a lot to do in the future.
Seeing Su Mo agree, Lu Mingze turned his head and looked north. His sight seemed to pass through the room, beyond the horizon, and saw the distant Arctic Ocean.
"Including Levatin, we have one more chance of winning against that guy. However, this alone is not enough. Weapons are important, but shields and strength are equally important. Su Mo also needs to become stronger...
"
Lu Mingze was calculating in his mind.
The enemy that he can face so seriously cannot be Odin. His only and biggest opponent is the Black King.
Thinking like this, his eyes directly passed over Xia Ya and Eryi, and paused for a moment on the faces of Zero and Nono.
"If you want Su Mo to compete with the Black King, Zero is the shield and Nono is the key..."
According to Lu Mingze's own style, he should have warned Su Mo directly - "We must firmly control them, just like we control power and power."
But considering Su Mo's character, such words would not be effective and might have the opposite effect.
After pondering for a moment, he chose to send a separate message to Su Mo using the Word Spirit Snake.
"Zero may be in a bad mood recently, remember to pay more attention to her."
"?"
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and question marks appeared in his eyes.
She may be in a bad mood recently? Why is it in the future tense? Could it be that her aunt has arrived?
But according to his understanding, Zero has not been in this period recently.
Lu Mingze did not explain this, but as if nothing had been said, he began to teach Su Mo and explained the key points of [Conceptual Arms].
