Chapter 38: A Long Torture, An Unending Pain
Some journeys are born for negation from the beginning.
And some journeys, the traveler already knows the end of the journey from the moment they set foot on it.
Norton believes that he has always been on a path full of lies and failures.
Desire.
Deceit.
Fail.
This is a portrayal of the long life of the Lord of Bronze and Fire.
The existence of the Seven Deadly Sins was the most painful defeat of Norton's life.
…… It didn't mean that this time, watching Lu Mingfei and Bu Shun take away most of the Seven Deadly Sins parts from him.
It's that the god-killing armor that was born now has already run counter to his original intention of forging the [Seven Deadly Sins].
In Norton's original vision.
The Seven Deadly Sins were not created to be used as weapons.
……
……
In the perception of hybrids in this era, there has always been an insoluble mystery.
- Why can't the half-breeds completely evolve their bloodlines and become true dragons?
Norton can answer the unsolved mystery that has plagued hybrids for thousands of years.
Compared to the dependents of the dragon kings, humans are really incomparably weak.
But Norton, after carefully studying the existence of humans, believes that this weak race has unparalleled potential......
Because human beings are born with original sin.
……
……
In the culture of the dragon clan, there is no such thing as the term "seven deadly sins".
It was after the birth of the human race that the corresponding "Seven Deadly Sins" were derived, and then as a special alchemical concept, it was recorded by Norton in the Secret Record.
The existence of the Seven Deadly Sins is not a lie, but a "special mark" that is truly contained in the blood and soul of the son of man.
It is this [original sin] that gives human beings the unique ability to 'resist the erosion of dragon blood'.
Mixing dragon blood between different races is actually a very ancient research.
This research began with the greatest life scientist of the dragon clan, the king of the sea and water, who has the honorific titles of "Creation of the Most Holy" and "King of All Spirits".
The oldest of the eight dragon kings, who presided over the birth and reproduction of dragons and many races, it can be said that except for the two emperors of black and white, there is no existence in this world who understands "dragon blood" and "life" better than him.
In His study.
From dinosaurs, sea beasts, titan trolls and other races, to ordinary mammals and arthropods...... After being purified by many bloodlines after being mixed with dragon blood, they will eventually evolve to the level of higher dragons and upper dependents.
Looking at the entire Nine Realms, the only exception is 'Humans'.
As an incomparable being in the realm of life, the Water King was certainly curious about this unusualness.
…… However, this research was eventually halted due to the White King Rebellion.
However, Norton inherited the research results of the Water King, and truly discovered the secret of [Original Sin].
Since the Black Emperor Nighod created the Atrium World and the Eight Dragon Kings ruled the Nine Realms, there has never been a single life that has the power to resist the erosion of dragon blood.
But the birth of mankind, the existence of [original sin].
However, while Norton was able to get a glimpse of some terrible truth behind it, he found a "possibility" that could break the "fate" that bound them.
He wants to use the power of [original sin] to create a god-made body that can carry his younger brother, Constantine.
In order to make their brothers, who have not been able to hug each other since their birth......
Able to embrace each other in their arms.
……
……
The unending pain, from the day the brothers were born, was deeply entangled in their fate.
All dragon kings are born from the black king's own split, and this cold father has already set their own fate from the day his child is born.
"Why, all the twins born on the throne?"
The answer to this question is different for each pair of twins.
Of the twins of the earth and the mountains, Jörmungård is only Fenrir's "umbilical cord".
She was the terrifying fangs that stood on his majestic body, so that the indescribably powerful dragon king would have another rein to bind him.
The twins of the sky and the wind are not only brothers, but also the two poles that are involved in each other's fate.
They divided each other's authority, so that the spirit and will of the life of the Nine Realms were scattered and unified.
It is also the two most prosperous kingdoms in the Nine Realms, and has been fighting endlessly for countless years, pleasing the two supreme emperors with dramas one after another.
And Konstantin and Norton, their fate set by their father is even more cruel.
Born as dragons and snakes, they were born wingless and legless.
Norton was born with the wisdom and vision to understand all things, but he didn't have the power of other dragonlords.
Constantine was born with the power to destroy the world, but his fragile spirit and body were unable to withstand this power and could not sustain him through prolonged slumber or even cocooning.
But what was most unacceptable to Norton was......
They were born of an egg, but they were cursed by the Black King to be unable to contact each other.
Whoever wants to hug their brother will die directly.
Norton knew that this was part of the Black King's fate, and that their brothers were the torch of the Promised Day, a sacrifice for the grand opening of the twilight......
Until then, He would never allow them to touch each other in order to eliminate the possibility of the fire of destruction burning at the wrong time.
It was a long torture.
Even though Norton forged his arms and wings out of metal, he couldn't really embrace Konstantin.
Standing at the apex of the Nine Realms, surrounded by countless dependents, the king who seems to have it all, but he is even deprived of the right to hug his cherished brother...... Isn't that ridiculous?
For those compatriots who are also dragon kings, Norton has never had half of his feelings.
What does he care about...... Only his weak but strong brother.
He knew that in the infinite ice and snow where the lava was extinguished and everything froze, the only one who could walk with him on the road was Konstantin.
In that destined twilight, he would only give his trust and back to his identical twins. Even if the end of the world will destroy everything in the Nine Realms, Norton just wants to live with Konstantin in the barren universe.
This is an unending pain.
At the moment when they know each other's fate, endless life brings only infinite torment.
Konstantin can accept the doomed end, but Norton can't bear it, from the weak dragon snake to the alchemy monarch of the Nine Realms, everything he does is to have the power to fight against fate.
In order to be able to free his brother from that fate......
In this expectation, the idea of the Seven Deadly Sins was born.
Inheriting the research of the Water King, as well as his knowledge of [Original Sin] and the alchemy that no dragon in this world can control, the completed god-made body can not only carry the infinite power of Constantine, but also break the curse of fate of the Black King, and end the torture endured by their brothers-
Norton can do whatever it takes to do this.
However, his fate once again ushered in failure.
- in the presence of that odious enemy.
