Gentle Fist Acupressure Technique penetrated through Herzog's scales, delivering needle-like chakra into his muscles and joints.
Herzog felt as if all the joints in his body were out of control, and even his breathing was a little difficult. His keel felt as if it were shackled.
Moreover, his physical coordination was also impaired, and his motor nerves became disordered. He wanted to control his hands, but instead, he moved his feet.
This is because, while Gu Ran was punching him with soft fists, she also used chaotic body strikes to disrupt the electronic magnetic field inside his body.
Herzog knew Gu Ran's plan: to make him give up the Heavenly Cloud. However, the Heavenly Cloud was his greatest asset; only with the Heavenly Cloud could he barely manage to fight Lu Mingze to a draw.
Without Qian Congyun, he would be defeated immediately.
He planned to take a few more hits from Gu Ran, figuring that Gu Ran shouldn't be able to kill him.
But at this moment, Gu Ran raised the Spider Cutter high, attaching Sage Art: Lightning Release: Chidori Blade to the Spider Cutter's blade. At the same time, he condensed a large amount of Sage Chakra in his hand and unleashed a full-force attack, slashing at Herzog's right hand holding the Thousand Clouds!
He channeled a large amount of Sage Chakra into this strike, enhanced by the Chidori Blade, and used his Byakugan to aim at the weakest joint on Herzog's hand.
With a swift slash, the blade cuts the object in two!
Herzog's hand was severed by Gu Ran right at the elbow!
But this strike also exhausted the life of the Spider Cutter. At the point where it clashed with the Dragon Bone, the Spider Cutter was chipped, and the blade was covered with cracks.
The next second, the spider was sliced into pieces.
But it was all worth it, because at this moment, the Heavenly Cloud was already in Gu Ran's hands!
"Aaaaaah!" Herzog never expected to be so badly injured. He was the White King, a high and mighty 'god', yet a human had severed his hand!
One of his wings was also broken by Gu Ran, and he could no longer maintain his balance, falling from the sky.
Herzog's body was already fifty times heavier, so the acceleration due to gravity was getting faster and faster.
Lu Mingze hovered in the air, his dragon eyes gleaming with a dazzling, noble golden light.
He stared at the falling Herzog and said, "I granted that stupid girl the privilege of living. This is the first time I've ever rewritten a script for someone because she's so stupid, so stupid that I don't want her to be hurt... But you defied my will! You tried to take away the life I gave her! You despicable traitor!"
"All those who defy fate will be pierced through the deepest recesses of hell by a scorching spear!" he whispered one last time.
As Herzog plummeted to the ground, he found that those last words kept echoing in his ears.
It tolled like a death knell deep within his soul.
Herzog felt an overwhelming sense of fear, yet he couldn't pinpoint the danger, for even from such a height, he wouldn't die from falling into the sea, for he was the noble White King.
But at this moment, the sea below him began to freeze, because Lu Mingze used some kind of incantation.
Are they trying to kill him by throwing him?
Herzog was puzzled. He was looking at the frozen sea and could easily use his authority to dispel the power of the words, but the fear in his heart was growing stronger. Suddenly, he realized something and immediately turned to look at the sky. A streak of orange-red light flashed before his eyes.
Six parallel streaks of fire appeared in the sky; divine retribution had been unleashed!
Yes, killing the Dragon King is too difficult with just words of magic, and Gu Ran and Lu Mingze do not have any suitable alchemical weapons.
Therefore, in the end they still relied on divine retribution.
Anyway, divine retribution is something the Gattuso family owns, so why not use it?
All six swords of Damocles fell to the ground, covering the airspace where Herzog was located, and under the precise guidance of EVA, completely sealed off Herzog's figure.
Herzog was now burdened with even greater weight, and with one of his wings broken, he could only watch helplessly as divine retribution rapidly descended upon him, with no way to escape.
The crimson spear pierced Herzog's dragon body in an instant, and his proud but imperfect dragon body was almost broken in two after being struck by the scorching spear.
Herzog let out a desperate scream as he crashed onto the ice floes, piercing through the thick layer of ice.
He was unwilling to accept it; he had worked so hard to become a god, but he was gone in less than a day.
He is not willing!
Not reconciled!
Not reconciled!
Why did he, who was no longer human and became a god, still have to die?
This world is so unfair to him!
The power of six swords of Damocles, equivalent to six small nuclear bombs, shattered every bone in Herzog's body. At the same time, after he crashed into the Neon Sea, a massive tsunami was created on the surface of the sea.
A few minutes later, this wave will reach Tokyo.
The seawater that had submerged the entire city of Tokyo began to recede slowly, and the rain clouds that had been surrounding Tokyo gradually weakened.
Lu Mingze spread his wings, his whole body forming a sacred cross. He looked at the rising tide on the ground and recited a passage from the Bible: "When that thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, namely Gog and Magog, and to gather them together for war. Their number will be as many as the sand of the sea."
Ten thousand years ago, the previous White King was executed on the frozen sea, and today the new White King is also executed on the frozen sea. History always repeats itself.
"I thought I'd be fighting this battle alone, but I didn't expect you to be here with me." Lu Mingze looked at Gu Ran beside him expressionlessly.
"It is my honor to fight alongside the king," Gu Ran said humbly.
"I never imagined that in the three thousand worlds, someone could travel from one world to another," Lu Mingze said calmly. "Your existence is not in the destiny I know."
Gu Ran was taken aback. His secret as a transmigrator had been seen through by Lu Mingze in a single glance!
Chapter 517 White King Dragon Bone
After being exposed as a time traveler, Gu Ran stared silently at Lu Mingze.
“When the bell tolls, the past begins to rewind. Bronze mountains will melt, the seas will boil, the earth will turn upside down, and finally, a storm will destroy everything.” Lu Mingze continued to stare at Gu Ran, repeating the same sentence, “But in the destiny I know, you are not included.”
Seeing that Gu Ran remained silent, Lu Mingze smiled again: "Do you have dragons in your world?"
Gu Ran opened his mouth again, but in the end he said the same thing: "There are no dragons, only stories about dragons."
How did the story end?
“There’s no ending. The original author hasn’t written it yet, so it’s probably going to be a bad ending.” Gu Ran finally spoke up. “But I know that storms destroy everything.”
“Oh…” Lu Mingze nodded. “So you want to stop it?”
"I only want to stop Ragnarok."
"Ragnarok cannot be stopped."
"Can't we even postpone it?"
“For the dragon race, there is no point in postponing their destiny,” Lu Mingze said, his hands behind his back. “To run away from fate is a sign of cowardice.”
“But I am not a dragon.” Gu Ran looked at him and said, “For me, ten thousand years, or even ten thousand years, is too long. I only need a hundred years.”
"Do you only want to spend a hundred years with the person you love?"
"Yes."
"Interesting." Lu Mingze smiled, but he didn't ask Gu Ran any more questions.
Not far away, a bomber flew over and opened its tail compartment.
"I'm leaving now. Let's talk again next time," Lu Mingze said to Gu Ran.
"Okay." Gu Ran, holding the Kusanagi sword, turned around and descended to the ground.
Inside the bomber, Lu Mingze sat in the co-pilot's cockpit, looking down at the city below.
Bombers appeared in Tokyo Bay, the city cluster surrounding Tokyo Bay being the wealthiest region in Japan.
"The battle of ten thousand troops was spectacular," Mai Shude remarked calmly to her boss, then asked with some curiosity, "Who fought alongside you?"
The boy huddled up, hugging his knees, gazing silently into the distance, seemingly unwilling to say anything.
Mai didn't urge her; she just sat quietly to the side, piloting the plane. In a daze, she seemed unable to distinguish whether the person next to her was the boss or Lu Mingfei.
After sacrificing another quarter of their lives, Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze have become increasingly compatible.
"I'm tired. Could you please find a place to put me down?" the boy said softly.
"Yes," Mai Shude replied softly, and flew the plane to the nearest airport to land.
……
The Tokyo Skytree, which had been without power, suddenly lit up. The city, which had been submerged by the sea, was now recovering, and power was being restored to the city that had been plunged into darkness.
The rain stopped, and people could even see the moon. Mount Fuji, which had been spewing fire outwards, also stopped, as if the previous tremors had never happened.
The survivors looked up at the sky and felt a sense of peace that came out of nowhere.
The happiest place at this moment should be the Tokyo Metropolitan Meteorological Bureau's command center. Only the people there know what the world has just experienced, and therefore they can better appreciate the joy of surviving a disaster.
The lunatics in the equipment department started searching for open-air mixed-gender hot springs in Japan, asking where they could find a romantic encounter.
The vice principal, still holding the wine bottle, looked at the now completely calm sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
The virtual EVA sat obediently beside him: "The Tokyo sewers are currently operating at full capacity to drain the floodwaters. It is expected that all the floodwaters in the city will be drained within six hours. However, the electromagnetic phenomena generated by the explosion will affect communications. Currently, cameras throughout the city are electromagnetically shielded, but the sea breeze is accelerating the dispersion of electromagnetic particles. It is expected that communications throughout Japan will be restored within half an hour. Tomorrow will be a new day."
"Great, tomorrow's a new day." The vice-principal hiccuped, shaking the nearly empty bottle. "Where's the principal? Why isn't he back yet?"
A location flashed in EVA's eyes: "At the very end, the principal went to Genji Heavy Industries, probably to discuss other matters."
"Of course, a new order must be established after the war; this is Angers' consistent practice," the vice principal said. "It's just that this time, there aren't many members left in the Snake Clan."
"The specific situation at Red Well is unknown," EVA said. "Should I send someone to investigate?"
"We don't need to worry about these things; the principal will take care of them."
“But there’s something you need to deal with right away.” EVA turned to the vice principal. “Our commissioner, Fingel, has been mistaken for an intruder by the Self-Defense Forces and is currently being held at a Self-Defense Forces military base and being interrogated.”
"Damn it, that kid definitely won't be able to withstand the interrogation and might spill our information at any moment," the vice principal said. "Let's send a reliable sniper to silence him!"
“Professor Flamel, if you are willing to go and get Fingel out right away, I am willing to give you some advice and help you choose a gift for your son’s thirty-ninth birthday.”
“But I think a three-meter-tall giant Winnie the Pooh would be a great gift,” the vice principal muttered. “If my son, who’s the head of the disciplinary committee, doesn’t like it, then he’ll be too unlovable.”
EVA said somewhat angrily, "If you don't agree, then next time I clean up the junk data on the school's hard drive, I'll also clean up your hard drive's treasured collection."
"Hey, no, no, no! My hard drive collection is tied to Lu Mingfei's. If you clean mine up, you'll clean up his too!" The vice principal looked at his former student's pouting face and had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, I authorize you to contact the Japanese military minister in the name of the board of directors. That kid will be out soon."
After receiving authorization, EVA immediately contacted the Japanese military minister and the Snake Clan to release Fingel as quickly as possible, hoping he wouldn't get a pork chop meal.
……
Taking advantage of the brief moment when communication was still blocked by electromagnetic particles, Gu Ran did not go back, but instead came to the center of Tokyo Bay, the place where Herzog sank to the bottom of the sea.
He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to retrieve the dragon bones.
