Chapter 394: Decisive Victory in the Thirteen Cities (3)
It was a creature with a snake-like circling body, its outstretched wings covering the sky and the sun, a coercion spreading from its body, and after roaring, it seemed to call out a man's name: "Beowulf!"
Lu also squinted his eyes and realized the identity of this dragon.
"Beowulf" is a long poem of heroic narrative, which records the heroic deeds of the hero Beowulf.
In this long poem, Beowulf has three main enemies, the monster Corondo (also known as Gerland) and Corondo's mother, and finally a fire-breathing dragon.
The main story is that a fugitive slave steals a golden cup from the dragon's treasure and begs his slave master for forgiveness, only to draw revenge from the fire-breathing dragon.
Beowulf later perished along with the fire-breathing dragon.
The dragon in front of him didn't have much rationality, and it was also distorted like Nidhogg he had seen before.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the ancients made him into an instrument to carry out large-scale experiments on the infection of mythical creatures.
At the same time, it is also used as a countermeasure device, and once the experiment gets out of control, it will destroy all living beings and carry out a great purge.
Because the twisted dragon will only bring disaster, and all humans can use is some passive abilities of the dragon.
For example, the dragon's ability to assimilate infection.
They are able to influence the living beings around them, especially humans, transforming them into their own kind, using them in a similar way to the life radiation of evil gods, but in a different way.
The dragon is the sublimation of human faith, and the dragon in front of him has only one belief, an extreme hatred for inhuman and transcendent creatures.
And because of his own distortion, coupled with the transformation of the path sought by the despair of ancient humans in the later period, he himself also carries a wealth of mythological and biological factors.
So when Lu also saw him, he was mutilating himself, spitting flames that no longer burned his body, and his sharp claws were tearing at his own body, and from time to time he would turn his head and bite his body with his venom-filled teeth.
During this time, Beowulf's name was still muttered.
In response, Lu Ye's hollow eyes were aimed at the dragon, and he further obtained information from him, and slowly walked into the base.
It can be seen that the Superhero Association has made many changes to the base, but some things are still left.
The name of the person who built the base was Viglaf.
This man is also recorded in the "Beowulf", when the dragon was raging, the old Beowulf fought the dragon to the death in the cave, and during the battle he called for help from the soldiers, but the soldiers were afraid to come forward because of fear, and only a man named Vigraf entered the cave to help.
Before his death, Beowulf gave Viglaf a helmet, armor, and sword, and Viglaf became a hero for a new generation.
Lu also saw some differences in this base from the description in "Beowulf".
For example, the name of the dragon - Beowulf.
That's right, it was Beowulf himself.
Beowulf has existed for a long time, it is already at the end of ancient human civilization, the dragon plan has failed, and there are only a few fires left in the dragon, and Beowulf is one of them.
The fugitive slave is a kind of denomination, and a slurious term, referring to an unnamed being, and it is roughly clear that it is his existence that causes Beowulf's mutation.
And the golden cup can represent many meanings in the occult, crucifixion rituals, life, vows, etc., here more refers to the "fugitive slave" distorted Beowulf, turning it into an irrational twisted dragon.
Beowulf and the dragon fight to the death in the cave, symbolizing the struggle between man and chaos, Viglaf enters the cave to help Beowulf defeat the dragon, and takes over Beowulf's armored sword, referring to the complete chaos of his own dragon body to Viglaf.
The history of antiquity opened a corner to Lu Ye, he could perceive the changes in time and space, and there were time and space fluctuations that began to diverge, but Lu Ye stopped him.
"Anyone who peeks into ancient history will be greeted by space-time worms and interstitial races. ”
Obviously, from Lu Ye's current perspective, there should be existence that has transformed the time and space of ancient times.
"Is it the 'fugitive slave'? The fugitive slave stole the gold cup to obtain the slave owner's forgiveness, so who is this 'slave master'?"
Lu also remembered one thing, Nidhogg involved the great lizardmen, and the lizardmen belonged to the Shimmer Forest, an evil god.
"Is the Glimmer Forest a 'fugitive slave' or a 'slave owner'?" Lu couldn't help but think.
What happened to the ancient civilization of mankind?
Nidhogg became a dragon with desperation, and Beowulf became a dragon with hatred.
None of them seem to be good beliefs.
And in the myths and legends about dragons, there are also polarizations, either involving the creation of the world, the great gods, or becoming representatives of evil, and often tamed by people.
For example, St. George and the Dragon, and a similar series of myths and legends, most of them are dragons wreaking havoc in a certain place, bringing disaster to them, and God's messengers (mostly missionaries) come to tame the dragons with guns (female messengers mostly use their singing voices).
A prophet also warned: "Babylon will become a heap of chaos and a dwelling place for dragons." ”
And the city of Babylon, the capital of Babylon, was where the Tower of Babel was once built.
After the failure of the Tower of Babel, the ancient humans searched for a way out all the way, and the paths of gods and dragons appeared one after another, all of them were overcoming the remains of the Tower of Babel and returning to the realm of gods.
Unfortunately, the man-made gods were distorted, and the only remaining fruits were turned into misplaced gods, while dragons were more distorted and tamed as slaves, like Nidhogg.
Roughly speaking, the history of mankind is the history of ancient human beings who constantly resisted and then were constantly suppressed.
In addition to Beowulf's deeds, Vigraf's last words remain in the base, which are engraved on a stone tablet.
"Latecomers remember!"
"God will be born from the placenta!"
This sentence does not seem like the words of the ancient humans, who even had their own gods man-made, and their ideas should be more words such as fighting for the rise of mankind rather than prophesying the so-called gods.
Unless this definition of God is different from what I understand. Lu also squinted his eyes and thought that at present, there are only two definitions of gods, one is the belief of human beings, and the other is the evil gods like them.
"And what is this third god?"
Lu also knew very well that this sentence was very important, if he was not an evil god at the same time, but also a misborn god and a dragon, it would be difficult for him to find this sentence.
And when Lu Ye discovered this sentence, he could feel that the fluctuations of time and space were trembling violently, as if they were going to transmit something to the ancient time and space, attracting the space-time worms and interstitial races at that time.
"Beowulf!!" the dragon shouted his name, but he forgot everything about his name, lost all his senses, and even his belief in becoming a dragon was distorted, and he became the biggest source of infection when he hated the inhuman mythical creatures.
The dark clouds in the sky gathered rapidly, and a man was floating in the air, and a large number of thunder and lightning were gathering towards his hands.
"Sure enough, the source stone is from Viglaf!" Lu also confirmed that Viglaf had experimented on the mythical creature infection experiment on himself, and confirmed that it had failed, so he canceled the plan for a large-scale experiment.
After his death, his body was used as a source stone, and became a treasure that everyone fought for.
"Beowulf should have self-limiting things, otherwise it won't be used as a countermeasure, and after the Great Purge, Beowulf needs to be recovered, which is the only way for these humans to survive. ”
Lu also saw very clearly that Beowulf was not as good as Nidhogg, compared to Nidhog's world-devouring dragon, Beowulf was much weaker, but even if it was weak, it was still a dragon.
Twisted or not, the dragon's strength is undeniable.
The No.1 superhero Chen Li above the clouds, this "person" is also a talented person from Lu Ye's point of view, and he has successfully condensed a distorted version of the Tower of Babel.
Its own essence has changed, and it has a little bit of the smell of evil gods.
And it seems that thanks to Vigraf's corpse source stone, he roughly balances the supernatural factor in his body, and although he is still paranoid and terrifying, he still retains human sanity.
However, just as this super-powered society was doomed, so was Chen Li, and the balance in his body was also doomed, especially when he set his sights on the power of the dragon.
"The mythical factor in his body has gradually become chaotic, so do you want the help of the dragon's power?" Lu Ye was keenly aware of Chen Li's state.
Chen Li wants to be like Qiao Dayi and borrow the power of the Dragonborn to maintain his sanity, but unfortunately this world is different from the world of lizardmen.
The dragonborn were able to appear on a large scale in the lizardman world, and in the current view, it is estimated that it was the help of Mida, and with the help of Lu Ye at that time, he was able to obtain a dragon species that could be used.
Chen Li's method of obtaining the power of the dragon was very crude, and there was no purification of the light of humanity, which seemed to temporarily suppress the chaos in his body, but in fact it was just drinking to quench his thirst.
"Go down!" came a cry of rage, and a short-haired woman leapt out of the tall building and punched Beowulf in the head, tilting his head to no avail.
It wasn't until the thunder fell from the sky that Beowulf let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.
The furious release of Long Wei stopped for a moment.
No.3 superhero Wan Lian Lin Miaoyin.
It has the ability to be tempered, and when the body is injured, the injured part of the body becomes stronger.
is an out-and-out martial arts faction, and has been on the Tiandong Peninsula before this, intimidating Kaiyang Wudoushan, and it is precisely because of her departure that Kaiyang has the ability to go to the east coast to make trouble.
In terms of combat ability alone, Lin Miaoyin, Chen Li, and Liuchuan are all difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.
All three of them have completed the Tower of Babel, among which Chen Li is the most human with the help of the power of the dragon, Lin Miaoyin is the most paranoid, and Liuchuan is the most close to the gods.
