Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Page 58

"Yes, I just don't know where to begin," Chu Zihang nodded.

"Let me guess what you want to talk to me about. Dragon King, Odin, Gao Kui, Holy Son, Messiah, that should be it, right? Am I wrong?"

"These are the questions I wanted to ask."

Chu Zihang nodded, then asked directly, "Can you tell me about these things? If not, then forget it."

Angers asked with a smile, "Whether I'm willing to tell you this will determine your future attitude towards Kassel, right?"

"Yes."

Chu Zihang continued nodding: "Gao Kui... he is my benefactor. There are some things he may not care about, or even be unaware of, but I can't."

In Chu Zihang's view, Angers and Kassel's way of treating Gao Kui and their attitude were quite suspicious.

There is an extremely high probability that Gao Kui is the Holy Son, a belief that Chu Zihang and Chu Tianjiao firmly hold. Even if he isn't the Holy Son, he is certainly not some ordinary super-A hybrid.

The power of five loaves and two fish, immortality, and all sorts of other extremely contrary and illogical behaviors... No hybrid or pure-blooded dragon in the world today can do these things.

So here's the question: if the Chu father and son could see Gao Kui's special qualities, wouldn't Angers have noticed them too?

Four years ago, Gao Kui stayed in the church for seven days, claiming to be His son and that he should be living in His Father's house. Then, Guderian and others, who had traveled a long way, dragged him out of the church and sent him to a psychological research center where he was diagnosed with mental illness.

Angers called Gao Kui the "Messiah of the Hybrid Race," and Chu Zihang did not believe it was a coincidence. Even if Gao Kui's bloodline was not worthy of this title, Angers probably knew that Gao Kui was the Holy Son.

So what did Kassel do for Gao Kui over the past four years, and what role did Angers play in it?

Did Gao Kui already have a mental illness, or was he driven to mental illness by Kassel?

Chu Zihang had no choice but to consider these things.

If it were just scheming and exploitation, then Chu Zihang could accept it for now. In this world, as long as a person has value, it is inevitable that they will be used by others.

But if Kassel and Angers are the real culprits who caused Gao Kui to fall into this predicament, then Chu Zihang will inevitably be unable to get along peacefully with Kassel.

"Did you know that many people consider me to be the strongest hybrid in the world today?"

"I know."

Do you know how sensitive your question is?

"I know."

"Do you know that if I wanted to kill you to cover it up, you wouldn't be able to leave this office alive?"

"I know."

"But you still asked. Before I left the base, you came to my office, digging deep to get the answers to everything I asked, prepared to die."

Chu Zihang did not answer this time. His muscles were tense and his torso was slightly bent. He was ready to fight Angers to the death and use his own death to warn Gao Kui.

"What a great young man, courageous and loyal."

Angers sincerely praised, then paused and raised his hand to signal Chu Zihang not to be too nervous: "Alright, since you want to speak frankly, there's no harm in telling you some things."

However, Gao Kui's own problems, and the problems between Gao Kui and me, and with Kassel, are far more complex than you imagine, and cannot be explained in a few words.

"I have enough patience to listen to your explanation."

"Great! I knew you were a patient and good kid."

Angers stood up and walked lightly to the window, closed it, drew the blinds, turned around and stared at Chu Zihang. His golden eyes ignited unconsciously, like fire rising from hell, exuding immense pressure that reached straight to the soul.

"Some young people are always in the habit of making grand pronouncements: I'm willing to fight the whole world for you; if the world doesn't like you, then the world is my enemy; you are my only one..."

Such remarks are euphemistically called "nonsense" or "juvenile delusion." Perhaps they are just trying to liven things up, or perhaps they are simply trying to please a pretty girl.

They spout all sorts of exaggerated sweet talk, but then completely forget what they said, since they probably don't have to take responsibility for what they said.

To fight the whole world to protect one person, to risk one's life for a friendship or love—how could an ordinary person possibly encounter such a situation?

"Gao Kui is definitely not that kind of person."

Chu Zihang's expression was serious. He didn't know why Angers suddenly brought this up, but he was determined to defend Gao Kui's reputation to the death.

As a mentally ill person suffering from flight of ideas, Gao Kui can indeed be quite eccentric at times, but he is not the kind of person who speaks carelessly. He can really risk his life for a joking promise without any hesitation.

"Of course I know he's not that kind of person. I think no one in this world values ​​the promises they make more than he does."

The reason I brought this up is simply to tell you that when answering my next question, please don't approach it with any immature or irresponsible attitude.

Angers smiled, then his expression turned serious: "You are willing to risk your life to come to me and seek answers in order to protect Gao Kui, putting your life and death aside. That's good."

But what if the price of maintaining this friendship is the whole world?

What a cringeworthy question! This kind of talk should be more like something out of a shonen manga like "Weekly Shonen Jump." Is this really something Angers would ask?

Koanger just asked the question.

Chu Zihang also had to think about Angers' question with a serious attitude: "What does 'the whole world' mean?"

"There are currently 1000 million superclusters in the observable universe. One of them is called the Laniakea Supercluster, which consists of three parts, one of which is called the Virgo Supercluster."

The Virgo Supercluster contains over one hundred galaxy groups, one of which is called the Local Group. The Local Group contains fifty galaxies, one of which is the Milky Way, with a diameter of 8.7 light-years.

There are between 1000 billion and 4000 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, one of which is called the Sun, which together with eight planets orbiting it constitutes the solar system.

The third planet in our solar system is called Earth, home to billions of people and countless other life forms. Looking further back in time, the number of life forms that have existed on this planet is innumerable.

The "whole world" referred to in this question encompasses everything in the known universe, past and present, excluding the portion of human life and other life forms that have existed on Earth over the past two thousand years.

Chapter 87 He is not

"Are you kidding me?" Chu Zihang tilted his head slightly.

"Just take it as a joke."

Angers stood by the window and solemnly asked, "Tell me your choice. It is not an impulsive answer, but a result of careful consideration."

"I think I'll give up this friendship." Chu Zihang didn't keep Angers waiting long, his head bowed, looking extremely guilty.

This was not a difficult decision.

The Milky Way and the ten million superclusters of the known universe must contain civilizations and extraterrestrials beyond Earth.

Wouldn't humanity be too lonely without aliens?

Perhaps these are too far off, but according to Angers, only a very small fraction of humanity throughout history will not become the "price" for humanity.

What were the criteria for selecting these chosen ones? Chu Zihang had a vague guess that it must be related to faith. Following this logic, Chu Tianjiao, Su Xiaoyan, and many others whom Chu Zihang cared about would become part of the "price" paid for.

So this isn't a very difficult decision.

"Did you feel guilty because you made the decision to betray your friends and benefactors?"

Chu Zihang kept his head down and did not answer Angers' question: "I have answered your question. Now it is your turn to tell me everything."

Angers leaned against the windowsill, gathering his thoughts slightly: "The truth is far more complicated than you imagine. I will try my best to explain it to you in language you can understand."

The story begins with the dragon race.

In Kassel, there is a department called the Department of Dragon History. The professors in this department have always been dedicated to studying the history of dragons hidden beneath the surface. I myself also teach a course called "Introduction to Dragon Genealogy" in the Department of History.

By studying the history of dragons, we have discovered that myths and legends from all over the world are closely related to dragons, and we have finally found two mythological systems that are most closely related to dragons: Norse mythology and Christian theology.

These two systems are to dragon history what the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki are to Japanese history. Do you understand what I mean?

“I understand.” Chu Zihang nodded. He happened to have some knowledge of Japanese mythology and history.

The Nihon Shoki and Kojiki provide detailed accounts of the formation of heaven and earth, the genealogy of deities, and the creation of the land during the Age of Gods in Japan, as well as the genealogy of Amatsukami, Kunitsukami, and the imperial family, providing strong evidence that the imperial bloodline originated from Amaterasu Omikami.

The rest, such as the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, can only be considered folk legends at best.

The examples of the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki are sufficient to demonstrate the significance of Norse mythology and Christian theology to the history of dragons.

Angers continued, "For a long time, we have believed that the civilization in which dragons ruled the earth was the prototype of Norse mythology."

Nidhogg the Black King is the supreme being among the dragons. He rules the entire planet and enslaves humanity in the name of God.

Odin, Thor, Loki, Fenrir—those gods and monsters recorded in Norse mythology—are very likely the true names of the first and second generations of creatures created by the Black King.

At the same time, we also believe that Christian theology and the Hebrew mythology system are also projections of the history of the dragon race.

God is the Black King who created the dragons and rules this planet, while Lucifer is the White King who was created by the Black King and led one-third of the dragons in rebellion against the Black King.

The ancient Jewish people of mixed ancestry, perhaps modeled on this history, created the Hebrew mythology system and Apocalyptic sects with God as the sole deity.

Angers paused briefly before continuing, "Through the study of Christian theology and the history of the dragon race, some scholars speculate that there should have been, or should have been, a [Holy Son] in the history of the dragon race."

The drama is coming!

Upon hearing the words "Holy Son," Chu Zihang's eyes widened instantly, and he became even more focused.

“Since Jesus reformed Judaism, Jesus’ status in Christianity and his relationship with God have changed many times in the course of church self-reform.”

The Alexandrian school believed that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were one God, i.e., the Trinity. The Arians, on the other hand, denied Jesus' divinity and emphasized his humanity, arguing that Jesus was not God.

These two major factions can be further divided into countless smaller factions based on their differing doctrines. In addition to these two major factions, there are other heretical groups. I remember one heretical faction even believed that Jesus should be above God.

But no matter how theologians debate, one thing is clear to everyone: within Christianity, Jesus is indeed more important than God.

He reformed Judaism, building upon its foundations, and founded a new branch of Christianity, laying a solid foundation for Christianity to later dominate the First World.

Compared to the doctrines of Christianity after Jesus' reformation, the doctrines of Judaism are far too narrow, extreme, and unacceptable, and lack sufficient inclusiveness, which is quite detrimental to missionary work.

In addition, the Yahweh described in the Old Testament is too extreme and primitive in his style and image compared to Jesus, which is also not conducive to missionary work.

Therefore, Christian missionaries always deliberately downplay the contents of the Old Testament when they preach.

In the early days of Christianity, the foundation of this sect was God. But after Christianity spread throughout half of Europe and became the dominant religion in the First World, the sect's foundation became Jesus.

Countless people on this planet still recite His name, but Judaism, the original religion that first believed in Him, has been suppressed and killed in that unspeakable land, as if it were dead.

"The Black King and the dragons he created are like the original God and Judaism, old gods and outcasts destined to be reformed."

That holy son of the dragon race will, like Jesus, defeat the Black King, end the Black King's rule over the world, abandon the remnants of the old era, lead the newly born dragon race to create a new era, and establish a new order.

Unfortunately, he failed.

The rulers of the old era would not allow their time to end so easily. Just as Jesus was irreconcilably opposed to Judaism when he founded Christianity, the Black King and the Son of God waged an unprecedented war. This unrecorded war was a hundred times more brutal than the war between the Black King and the White King.

Humans and hybrids seized this window of opportunity amidst the dragons' internal strife, turning the chaos into victory, ending the dragons' rule over the planet, and becoming the true masters of Earth.

"Is this the real history? Professor Guderian hasn't gotten to this point yet."

"K."
