Such firepower was enough to destroy a combined battalion, but it was unable to stop the roar of a steam locomotive.
Because all the bullets were suspended at the edge of a red area a few meters away from the metal outer layer of the train, some bullets still had blue flames burning at the tails, like a stagnant iron rain.
"Oh my God..." someone exclaimed in amazement.
Then, a flash of fierce fire appeared in the torrent of black rain, and along with that fire came a swirling stream of violent air.
It is impossible for human dynamic vision to capture what was coming. It was actually an armor-piercing shell parallel to the track, followed by a high-explosive shell also parallel to the track.
Those are infrared-guided hypersonic shells that rarely appear on modern battlefields. They are not used in human wars and are mostly used in the academy's war against dragons.
The two shells were fired with just a few tenths of a second's difference in time. The flames had already fallen and the steel roadblocks on the long bridge were completely shattered. The soldiers then saw that the heavy rain was stirred up.
Two seconds later, a huge shock wave swept across, and all the artillery and heavy machine guns at the end of the long bridge collapsed piecemeal. The smell of gunpowder filled the surface of the Tama River. The steel roadblocks were destroyed and blown away, and the waste fell on the river surface, splashing huge water splashes several meters high and waves that were not affected by the heavy rain and pushed in all directions.
Then the train continued to crush the steel debris without slowing down. The machine guns on both sides fired in an instant, suppressing all the American counterattack attempts, and a sharp and violent wind like a knife rushed across the end of the track.
At the same time, the giant steel beast suddenly let out a roar that seemed to come from hell. While running madly, the roofs of the first few carriages were suddenly lifted up, and the huge metal baffle was thrown out dozens of meters. Under the action of inertia, it smashed down diagonally like a blade, cutting off several large trees and inserting into the soft soil, leaving only a small half exposed.
A deformed dragon head stretched out from the thick metal carriage, twisting and screaming in the deep rain. The rainstorm was like a curtain, making it impossible to see the whole picture of the thing. I just felt that maybe someone pushed open the door to the underworld tonight, and the devil or evil spirits who had been hoping at the bottom of the abyss for thousands of years finally returned to the human world and could drink blood without restraint.
The soldiers finally realized why the power that could completely eliminate the kinetic energy of armor-piercing bullets with an initial velocity of thousands of meters was not used on them. God can resist arrows thrown from every piece of land in the four corners of the world. There is no reason why she is just a stone statue that can't be angry, feel shame, or kill.
The end of the red area was the palm of the girl on the roof. She only stretched out one hand for defense, but the other hand emitted black lightning-shaped high-energy threads that connected to the dragon's long neck and pressed it into the car.
"Don't panic, don't panic! It's just the Amazon anaconda that has undergone illegal genetic experiments and the plasma shield is still in the development stage and has not been disclosed!" The French colonel held the brim of his hat and shouted loudly, while the muzzle of his gun spewed flames and bullets to chase the receding train.
It was so unconvincing and irresponsible for this guy to say such things, but his calmness and courage were also surprising.
It was as if he knew what was going to happen here.
Obviously, these so-called devout believers in God were just pawns trained by the academy or a mixed-race family and placed in the US military stationed in Japan.
His mission is to use all means to destroy Lu Mingfei, a former S-class student who had been on the academy's global wanted list thirty minutes ago and was suspected to be a second-generation or even first-generation pure-blooded dragon, and Xia Mi, who was also a student at Kassel Academy and was also suspected to be a first-generation species.
Intelligence from the academy secretary "Norma" indicated that Lu Mingfei and the girl were on the steam locomotive, but what appeared before them was clearly a moving fortress, which was enough to prove that the pair of dragon kings who had hidden themselves in the human world for more than a decade and even risked killing their own brothers were not isolated and helpless.
They have a huge force behind them that can quietly mobilize the entire railway department to serve Lu Mingfei in a situation like today, and can even send such a modified steam locomotive to the vicinity of Tokyo Bay.
The bullets could not pose any threat to the heavy steel behemoth. The colonel roared angrily, jumped onto the tracks, and waved the machine gun at the train that was already moving away.
But he suddenly stopped and silently looked towards the direction of Tokyo, which was the direction the train had just come from.
Even though the steam locomotive was long gone, the rails were still vibrating violently.
Something was speeding along the track, it was extremely fast but its mass was extremely light compared to a train with dozens of carriages, and it came like a cheetah chasing something.
-----------------
The dragon transformation began from Lu Mingfei's heart. The dark white scales that clearly belonged to the White King's lineage spread to all parts of his body in an inflorescence arrangement. The dense white scales first emerged along the protrusions and blood vessels on the surface of the body, like dozens or hundreds of tiny long snakes spreading along his limbs to his fingertips.
The noble qualities of humanity that have been praised over and over again in history: courage, perseverance, justice, kindness...
All the great things that shone like bright stars in the history books and passed down Cui Wei's spirit were wiped out in the face of the poisonous blood that submerged the brutality of the Supreme.
Lu Mingfei’s consciousness became increasingly blurred, but his eyes became brighter and his heartbeat became more and more violent, as if it was a drumbeat competing with the heavy rain.
The small amount of hematopoietic stem cells that remained from the implanted holy remains produced such a violent reaction as if sodium metal was thrown into a lake. This reaction acted on the genetic level, but it could not make Lu Mingfei the new White King like real fetal blood.
He roared softly. The authority of the White King failed to flow into his body along with the blood, but the divine body of the Ultimate Dragon King was about to be born from his body.
In just a few minutes, Lu Mingfei's body would collapse. He was like a seed, inside of which was a towering tree. That tree was the body of God.
Yamata no Orochi, Hydra, Xiangliu...
Or maybe Izanami.
His soul will be lost, his flesh and blood will grow wildly, and there will be no Lu Mingfei in this world anymore. Caesar, Chu Zihang, Angers, and even Finkel will all raise their knives and chop down the monster that grew out of his body until one of them is dead.
The shotgun was silently pressed against Lu Mingfei's temple. Without any hesitation, he fired a high-energy cluster of buckshot at close range. The mercury-quenched bullets were pushed out of the huge barrel with a deafening roar by the high-pressure air when the gunpowder in the barrel was ignited.
But death did not come.
Word spirit. Yaki, wake up.
The poisonous blood from Eri was so powerful that it was beyond Lu Mingfei's imagination. He didn't even have a chance to kill himself.
Because when the body from eternity began to grow, the word spirit Yamata that resided in the body of Yamata no Orochi had already begun to take effect.
The breath of death came like a flood. The cells produced by the poisonous blood in Lu Mingfei's body and the tissues and muscles composed of these cells responded immediately. Small bloody flowers bloomed on his temples, but the flowers withered in an instant, and hard scales immediately grew out of the roots.
All the bullets that collided with the white scales burst into fine powder like water droplets. Be it lead, silver, or even bronze and steel, the metal seemed fragile on the new scales.
The next second, the tangled flesh and blood rushed from Lu Mingfei's chest like a tangle of steel cables, and rushed to his whole body in waves. His body grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cell tissues and muscles that belonged only to pure-blooded dragons wrapped Lu Mingfei layer by layer like an onion. His heart and ganglia became the heart and ganglia of this new body, and his soul was suppressed by the wills awakened from the other eight genes from the poisonous blood.
But this is not enough, the flesh and blood of the Yamata-no-Orochi, a failed hybrid that evolved into the White King, is flooding Lu Mingfei like a tide.
His body suddenly became too huge to look directly at, his legs were embedded in the thick snake tail, and the new muscle tissue was wrapped in hard bones. Those bones first pierced out dense bone spurs from the top of Lu Mingfei's spine, and the bone spurs gathered and grew into a new spine, and then sharp ribs slowly extended from both sides of the new spine.
This rib completely wrapped Lu Mingfei into the abdominal cavity of the huge snake body until it finally disappeared. At the same time, the lower part of the Yamata no Orochi was also constructed. The nervous system grew along the spine like a towering tree. The muscles first attached to the ribs and grew out of thin air, followed by the cavities that made up various glands and the beating blood vessels. A new, larger heart was generated directly in the cavity of this body, and the blood surging like a river began to flow boiling.
The spine that was directly differentiated from Lu Mingfei's body grew longer and harder. One end of it turned into a sharp sword that was deeply embedded in the huge snake tail, while the other end slowly grew around the carriage until eight incredible branches that were completely inconsistent with the existing rules of biology appeared. Finally, it was filled with flesh and blood. The deformed dragon head at the end of the long neck roared and tore through a layer of translucent film, smashing the metal roof of the train, swaying wildly in the curtain of heavy rain, and roaring at the top of its lungs.
When Lu Mingfei transformed into the Yamata-no-Orochi, which tore the carriage into pieces and climbed onto the roof of the steam train, the Japanese archipelago, which was precariously located on a volcanic belt, suddenly stopped shaking. The angry Mount Fuji lowered the high pressure under the earth's crust in a way beyond scientific explanation, and the almost uncontrollable and continuously erupting column of magma that was bound to destroy Tokyo fell silent like an extinguished candle.
As the deformed dragon walked, it tore apart all the connections between this carriage and the one where Eri was. The reinforced metal door was twisted into a shape of a pretzel. The weak girl stared blankly at the dragon roaring while walking across the roof of the steam train to the rear, tears falling silently.
She heard Lu Mingfei's voice, he said with hoarse vocal cords in the dragon's body, go, go, go.
So in just a moment, that great will was torn apart. Eri's expression was like a child who had a nightmare and suddenly woke up from the dream. There was more confusion and sadness in her eyes than the joy of having just taken on the supreme power.
It can even be said that she is not interested in power and authority at all.
She just wanted to live, live in this world with Lu Mingfei.
Xia Mi regained her golden crown and gorgeous dress. She tried her best to control her body which was no longer under Lu Mingfei's control. The expression on her face was stubborn and sad.
Jörmungandr's attack came silently. The mountain-like power found the eye of the Yamata no Orochi along the edge of the territory and penetrated into the newborn dragon's body.
Although this deformed dragon's body was comparable to that of a dragon hatched by the Dragon King, it had flaws and eyes all over its body. The power of the King of the Earth and the Mountain poured in like a trickle and immediately destroyed its nerve fibers, but all its wounds had healed before it even had time to collapse.
"Lu Mingfei, you fucking bastard..." Xia Mi's voice was very low. She bit her lower lip and walked towards Lu Mingfei step by step. One hand was still supporting the defensive barrier, and the other hand seemed to have countless ropes tying up the eight deformed long necks and the dragon heads at the end of the long necks of the Yamata no Orochi, so that every time it moved forward, it would press down and make the train creak.
She walked very slowly, and her slender figure was like a willow swaying in the wind, which would fall down with the slightest push.
The imperial daughter who held the throne high in the clouds had long since fallen down to earth, and now she just wanted to cut her man out of that thing, even if it was just a corpse.
It seemed as if all the curse words had become empty and powerless at this moment. Xia Mi gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying, but her eyes were still misty.
She couldn't stop him, nor could she kill him, and she just rushed towards Kanagawa Prefecture in vain, breaking the wind and rain.
Countless white silk threads that can absorb the vitality of all living things around them grew out from under the scales of the Yamata no Orochi, swaying in the wind and shooting out to the ground on both sides of the rails like spider silk. Hundreds and thousands of white silk threads were stretched taut as the steam train moved forward, like sharp blades in the black rain curtain.
Every long neck of the dragon roared to the sky.
The power of the steam engine was soon not enough to match the strength of the Yamata no Orochi. Those white threads were drawing enormous power from the surrounding mountains. Every minute, this terrifying dragon body, like Deadpool with only the will to kill, became more powerful.
Xia Mi's pupils became brighter and brighter. She knew that Lu Mingfei would never want to end up like this. She was determined to kill this monster that was parasitic on him at all costs.
Even if I use that word spirit...
"Death." A metallic voice sounded, and a girl as white as moonlight walked past Xia Mi. Her long skirt was like clouds and smoke, her long hair was like a waterfall, and the deepest part of her pupils seemed to be flowing with lava, but there was only sadness and pain on her cheeks.
The tide of elements descended from the sky, and the order of death fell on the body of Yamata no Orochi, which was still growing and healing itself, like ten thousand knives cutting back and forth at the same time, and a dragon head was blown into a bloody mist. Under the power of the Word Spirit Yamata, one of its heads was destroyed, and a new head was born immediately, just like a new branch growing from a plant's bud.
The Yamata no Orochi stopped walking towards the rear of the car. The steam engine groaned weakly twice and finally stopped working. Then each of the Yamata no Orochi's long necks turned to look behind itself, looking at the slender girl with a fluorescent glow on her skin.
The wind blew up Eri's long hair, lifted her skirt, and blew away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The girl staggered barefoot, brushing past Xia Mi, and walked towards the Yamata-no-Orochi, who was looking down at her with its bloodthirsty golden eyes.
She kept issuing death orders, and the dragon struggled in pain, dying and being reborn. A man in its body let out a low sigh, and then the sigh turned into an equally low chuckle.
Finally, Eri hugged the dragon, and the dragon's life force was exhausted at this moment.
Taking the Yamata-no-Orochi as the starting point, all the white threads connected from its body were burning in the black rain curtain.
The dragon scales were scattered and the bones were broken, revealing Lu Mingfei who was wrapped in them. The flesh and blood that were shaped by the poisonous blood and attached to the scales on his body were scattered like ashes after burning.
Lu Mingfei smiled and lay down in Huili's arms, big drops of hot tears hitting his face.
"Brother, you are hopeless." The little devil appeared behind Eri, holding a huge black umbrella and a bouquet of white roses in his arms, with a compassionate and sad expression on his face.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. The only sounds in his ears were the sound of rain, Eiry's crying, and the little devil's low sigh.
"God's blood flows in your body, but the part that belonged to power was passed on to the head of the Uesugi family, leaving you with the part that belonged to strength. So the power and authority in your body are completely unbalanced. The weaker you are, the safer you are. When you are on the verge of death, the big snake will never invade your body. But once you begin to recover, the completely unbalanced power in this body will turn you into the ultimate monster, maybe the Yamata no Orochi, or something that even the Yamata no Orochi cannot compare to." The little devil squatted down and said softly. He squatted between Xia Mi and Eri, and surprisingly did not seem abrupt.
"There are similar examples among the Dragon Kings, such as Constantine, whose power far outweighs his authority. He can never hatch a dragon body, and can never even grow up. He doesn't use the power of his power, so every time he wants to destroy everything in anger, he can only burn himself to ashes... Another one is Fenrir, who is an idiot whose power far outweighs his authority. He can tear apart many things in the world but can't really break the cage that imprisons him. It's difficult for him to hatch a human body, and the dragon body must always be restricted between death and rebirth, because once it breaks free, it will be a disaster for flesh and blood, and the life of this world will be endlessly sucked away by that body."
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. He knew he was going to die, but it turned out that the reason was because of this...
The highest power and authority in this world.
Hundreds of pairs of golden eyes like candles lit up on the distant mountains, and elemental turbulence appeared in the sky above the area.
As expected, the American soldiers were just appetizers. The killer moves that Odin, or Pompey Gattuso, had prepared for them were still here, those immortals.
This was the time when Xia Mi was at her weakest, and Eiry had not recovered much strength either, so they had almost no way to escape.
Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes wide.
A hand, a slender, white hand grabbed the little devil's face and pinched it hard.
Lu Mingze also showed a shocked expression, and he turned his head suddenly to look at Xia Mi.
"First of all, you have to call me sister-in-law." Xia Mi stretched out her other hand to pinch the other half of Lu Mingze's face. Although he didn't know what was going on, the little devil still subconsciously dodged, but was rubbed hard by the little sister in the golden crown and gorgeous skirt like she was trampling a kitten.
The girl wiped the tears from her face, her eyes sparkling, as if she was a person in desperate situation who saw a chance to survive.
She pressed the little devil's face and pushed him away, then walked to Lu Mingfei's side.
"As for power, I have it. The power of the king of the earth and the mountains, I will take it all." She and Lu Mingfei looked at each other, their eyes full of each other.
Eri didn't know what was going on, but she was suddenly stunned. She saw Xia Mi reach out and pierce her chest, tearing her sternum, and cutting out a bloody heart.
“No, no, no, don’t do this, please, don’t do this…” Lu Mingfei moaned in a low voice with fear. He had no strength to resist, but despair was like the water in the reservoir, which accumulated more and more and would completely submerge him the moment the dam broke.
He opened his eyes wide and saw Xia Mi holding the heart close to her chest, and then a warm current began to spread from the heart to his whole body.
"Brother, I will give you my power and my life." Xia Mi said, "Take my core and go to our hometown. Find the box hidden by Odin. It contains my father's blood. It can bring me back to you."
She slowly hugged Lu Mingfei. After a few seconds, Eiry touched Xia Mi's wrist. The temperature of that hand disappeared at an incredible speed. Then Xia Mi's body began to be blown away by the wind and turned into white sand all over the sky.
puff.
Lu Mingfei spat out a mouthful of blood. He could feel that something in his heart had changed. Although he was still weak, Xia Mi's gift really worked.
The balance of power and authority was restored in an instant.
The little devil stood far away on the edge of the train roof with a weird smile on his face.
