Chapter 623: Zero Mom, it's up to you to deal with the remaining two crises! Zero: Me?
With the North Pole as its center, the Rainbow Light Bridge radiates towards the entire planet.
A huge rainbow spans day and night, creating a magnificent floating ribbon on the planet's surface.
From the Strait of Gibraltar to Cape of Good Hope, from the South Pole to the Bering Strait, this awe-inspiring phenomenon can be witnessed in every place where life survives. Translated content:
The rainbow bridge spans the world, with the divine radiance pouring over the earth, and everyone can witness the miracles come to fruition.
In Norse mythology, the rainbow bridge is the passage that connects Asgard and Midgard, the realm of gods and the human world. Today, this passage is used to connect Niflheim and Earth.
The boundary of Nibelungen can be light or water, and Sumo uses light as the boundary to create tools that expand the boundary of Nibelungen, giving this artifact the power to expand the boundary at the speed of light and form passages.
At this moment, the whole world briefly turned into light.
Under the red rain, black tide, and the apocalypse caused by the beast horde, a glorious kingdom opened its arms to everyone.
At this moment, the majesty and presence of God are manifested to the highest degree.
Regardless of the sect or religious followers, they have already concluded that the deity responsible for this miracle must be their own god.
Regardless of race or species, whether human, dragon, animal, or even plant, and microorganism, all life that has not been infected by the Nidhogg spirit has been granted the eligibility to seek refuge in Nibelungen.
Some call it Noah's Ark, some call it Heaven, some call it Gensokyo...
Regardless of the name, they all deeply understand one thing.
That is to say, the opportunity to cross the end of the world itself is a gift from God.
Seeing this breathtaking scene, even the astronauts in space stations, who are working hard to contribute to humanity's survival beyond doomsday, cannot help but sob and pray. Translated content: "
"Oh my God! You really do exist!"
Many politicians and leaders from various factions are now completely silent.
They know that Su Mo may have a big plan in mind if he could lead them through the apocalypse. However, they never expected Su Mo to achieve such a grand scale, effortlessly taking away all the people in the world and completely disregarding the preparations they had made in advance.
很多人开始后悔，早知道名额足够，完全不用争抢，他们就没必要花心思在内卷上了。
更多聪明人却很快意识到，这一切都是故意的，如果龙王苏墨最开始就说自己愿意将恩惠赐予所有人，恐怕他们会做的就不是竞争，而是怀疑对方的意图吧？
人们总是会怀疑无偿的恩惠，直到失去才会后悔。
而对政治敏感的人也很快意识到，世界的格局恐怕就要改变了。
要知道，除了某古国主流信奉无神论之外，其他地方宗教影响其实都很大，全世界基本有四十亿以上的人是信奉神的信徒，这还是建立在从没有神迹出现的情况下得到的数字。
The miracle this time is a true and genuine marvel. With actual world-saving achievements, it is likely that the majority of people will worship Long Wang Su Mo as a deity.
From now on, even if he doesn't do anything else, just based on his divine status, a single word can influence the entire human world's landscape.
As for the Dragon Slaying Sect, anyone who dares to mention wanting to deal with the Dragon King Su Mo would probably be stoned to death by the devout followers of the deity.
This is the impact brought about by his world-saving achievements, Su Mo doesn't even need to ask for anything specifically, humans willingly offer everything they have as offerings to this divine being.
Thinking of this future, Lady Laurent finally understood the meaning of Dragon King Su Mo's request for them to continue researching science.
It's not because they want to show that they won't hinder human progress, but because they are worried that humans' idol-worshipping mentality will hinder their own development.
照这么下去，无论是否跨越末日，秘党的存在都没有必要了。
旧的仇怨，在救世级别功绩下宛如尘埃。
新的时代，也将在神的注视下向前发展。
“统御世界的神么……”
尼伯龙根之中，洛朗女爵看着头顶绚烂的彩虹，神色有些忧虑。
虽然她对苏墨印象不错，可没人知道，神统治的世界会是什么样子。
At this moment, as Charlotte followed her into Nibelungen, she noticed her expression and asked naively, "
If Lord Su Mo can really save the world, then becoming a deity revered by all is only a natural reward, right?"
Hearing this, Baroness Laurent hesitated for a moment, then fell silent. After a while, she suddenly patted the girl's head and showed a self-deprecating smile.
"Little Charlotte is right, I have overcomplicated things. Humans today are not qualified to worry about the future!"
"If one can truly transcend the apocalypse and accomplish the magnificent task of saving the world, that person indeed deserves all the honor and respect!"
"Before considering good or bad, the most important thing is continuity."
对于野心家来说，未来或许会变成最坏的局面，神座之下，一切反叛和僭越都是徒劳。
可对于政治家来说，这种局面却并不算坏，一切权利的斗争，都建立在文明延续这一个基本前提之上。
Whether it's a dragon or a human, anyone capable of saving the world is worthy of being called a god.
In the apocalyptic scenario, under the influence of miraculous events, there are certainly numerous individuals like her who undergo a change of mindset.
·
Under the splendid curtain, there are only a few remaining humans on the planet from the outside world.
"Nuo Nuo, I need your help with something..."
"No problem!"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Su Mo received the expected response before he could finish his sentence.
“我还没说是什么事呢！”
苏墨无奈地叹了一口气，倒也不奇怪。
虽然他依旧准备好了各种理论性解释，还有逻辑性必要，可女孩子做决策的时候似乎完全是对人不对事的，只要人靠谱，说什么都敢答应。
Of course, this strategy is effective in a certain sense.
"As long as Senior Su Mo asks, I will do anything!"
It seems that knowing Xia Mi is biting her tail in the Arctic Circle, Nono's response seems to be bolder than before.
Unfortunately, Su Mo has already become accustomed to such answers and did not notice any difference.
"Then let me make it short and simple. I hope you can act as my representative and help me manage internal affairs within Nibelrongen."
"Managing internal affairs of Nibelungen... Isn't that everyone in the world?!"
Nono was instantly shocked.
She knew that the task given by Su Mo must be challenging, but she didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
Directly managing seven billion people, no emperor, king or minister in history has ever had this power, right? Can she really do it?
"Although I really want to help Senior Su Mo, I really don't have experience in managing the whole world. It might be more reliable to seek the United Nations or President Acroisson in this aspect."
诺诺绞尽脑汁的思索着，不想让苏墨失望。
昂热所在的人类联合机构有取代联合国的潜力。
“放心，当然不是让你直接参与管理！”
Su Mo shook his head.
He's not a fool, how could he let Nono, a freshman student, directly participate in cutting-edge political struggles?
"Nieberlongen is still internally classified according to the original geographical divisions. They can completely self-govern based on their existing organization. Their internal affairs do not need your concern. Ang Rui and the Night's Watch will handle various aspects of the work. In the absence of resource disputes, they can take care of themselves."
“那苏墨前辈要我干什么？”
诺诺松了一口气后，疑问道。
“内部能解决的事情范围是有限的，有些事情必须要从外部入手，所以我希望你能成为吉祥……我是说活招牌，来展示跨越末日的希望，并压制可能出现的纷争。”
Su Mo explained simply.
Humans are a species that can start religious wars even without resource conflicts, in a sense, more warlike than the dragon race.
Even though most people now consider Su Mo as the only god, there are still many factions within the followers of the only god, and there are cases of life and death. If left unchecked, conflicts can easily arise. Translation: Su Mo explained simply. Humans are a species that can initiate religious wars even without resource conflicts, making them more warlike than the dragon race in a way. Even though the majority now view Su Mo as the only deity, there are still various factions within the followers of the only god, leading to cases of intense rivalry. If left unattended, conflicts can easily arise.
Nuo Nuo's task is actually quite simple.
When facing the public, she needs to serve as a mascot, bearing the hope of the majority to overcome the apocalypse. As the other side of aggression, humans are creatures who can endure any hardship as long as there is hope.
And in the face of extremist elements, she can act as the messenger of divine will, suppressing all turmoil in the name of Su Mo.
And these two tasks can be completed in the same simple way.
"So, you're saying all I need to do is stay alive and make more public appearances in the name of Senior Su Mo as a messenger?"
Nono quickly summarized.
In other words— to achieve world peace, become an idol!
"I could say that."
Su Mo nodded.
吉祥物的工作本来就简单，实际上也不是诺诺去安抚人心，而是全世界所有人借助诺诺这一希望来安抚自己，她只需要作为希望的载体就够了，神的意志足以承载所有人的期待。
"Then what identity should I use to make them believe that I carry the will of the gods?"
Nono asked with a hint of anticipation.
With her current power, coupled with the cooperation of Xia Mi, it wouldn't be difficult to display convincing miracles.
问题在于，她是以什么身份来传达神——也就是苏墨的意志呢？
"Whether as a priestess of the gods or as a daughter of the gods, both would be applicable, right?"
In this regard, Su Mo is quite casual.
"Anyway, both of these relationships are not considered fake, so you can choose whichever one you want."
Frigga is the priestess of the original Black King, and Zero was originally the priestess of the second generation Black King. However, after Somer inherited the power of the Black King, he reintegrated the bloodlines and bodies of Nono and Zero, reproducing them once again to reshape their bloodlines and bodies.
因此，如今的诺诺和零两人，都已经洗去了原来的身份，成为了独属于三代目黑王，也就是最后一代黑王苏墨的专属巫女。
After being endowed with bloodline or authority, Nono and Lina can be regarded as daughters created by Su Mo in the context of mysticism.
However, it is clear that human ethics do not apply to supernatural beings.
Otherwise, in a strict sense, Su Mo, who inherited the power of the Black King, can even be considered Miss Xiemi's stepfather. However, at the same time, his status as Xiemi's relative has never been revoked. The generation gap between Eri and Xiemi would also become strange. And Zero's mother's attributes would become extremely complex, being both a mother and a daughter, and such a relationship would be too advanced for humans.

And Zero's mother's attributes would become extremely complex, being both a mother and a daughter, and such a relationship would be too advanced for humans.
In order to avoid turning the set from Norse mythology into Greek mythology, it's best not to delve too deeply into these relationships.
"A witch or a daughter?"
Knowing that it was impossible to have the title she had hoped for, Nono wasn't disappointed. Almost instinctively, she immediately ruled out the latter option.
“那就巫女吧！我可以借绘梨衣的巫女服穿！”
想到是日式巫女，她心中隐隐还有点占到便宜的窃喜。
"Great!"
苏墨并未在意太多，立即点头。
而后，神谕传向四方，彻底敲定了诺诺作为神之巫女的身份。
知晓有神之巫女会来传达神的意志后，人们因为末日而紧绷的神经，终于放松了下来。
The existence of a shrine maiden signifies the attention of the gods.
Heaven is redemption, shrine maidens are hope, both are medicines that can heal despair.
·
About two hours after Nono left, a petite blonde girl with a black mask came to Su Mo's side and stood obediently by him.
After the gigantic neo-Nippon dragons in the Arctic Circle became the center of attention worldwide, this place has become a barren land devoid of any signs of life.
"Has the pressure from the animal population decreased?"
Su Mo asked casually.
After the Rainbow Bridge opened, Nidhogg seemed to have already anticipated that Su Mo would flee with humans, and immediately invested all the accumulated resources into creating the beast horde.
Don't underestimate the danger of the human evacuation just now. If it wasn't for Hui Liyi and Zero holding the fort outside, it might not have been so peaceful.
Since Zero has come at this time, it means she doesn't need to intervene for now.
"Hmm!"
Zero nodded obediently.
"Nidhogg seems to have not anticipated your quick actions, and the accumulated large number of beasts were all deceived. The massive gathering of beasts would have been dangerous, but before they invaded Nibelungen, Xiaomi was already able to join the battle. With the power of the earthly python, the beast groups below the level of divine beasts and creatures were basically swept away."
As dragon-class beings in the Divine Realm, both Xia Mi and Hui Liyi originally had powers that were fairly equal, with not much difference between them.
However, in the domain of sweeping away miscellaneous fish, Xia Mi, who absorbed more worldly giant pythons of the red tide, clearly showed much higher efficiency than the silver giant dragon.
After the successful establishment of the Nibelungen, Xiami no longer needs to maintain the posture of the tail snake.
To eliminate the king beasts, the Silver Dragon still needs the power of spoken language, while the Worldly Python only needs to casually whip its tail to unleash a power that even divine beasts dare not confront. Ordinary king beasts can be swallowed by the Worldly Python in just one bite.
聚集起来的数百只王兽对于白银巨龙来说或许还有点麻烦，对于尘世巨蟒来说却只是一口小点心，尘世巨蟒的存在直接让神兽之下都成为了彻底的蝼蚁。
"Invading Nibelungen... It seems that the beast herd is not so easily dealt with!"
Su Mo was not surprised by Xia Mi's impressive performance.
After devouring the Crimson Tide, which can incubate over a hundred dark king dragons, if Xia Mi still couldn't fight, Su Mo would have to suspect that she had been cursed with some kind of "doomed to be a noob" curse. I think it's great that Xia Mi is showing her skills and not surprising at all. After consuming the Crimson Tide, which can incubate over a hundred dark king dragons, if she couldn't handle the beast herd, I would have doubted if she was cursed to always perform poorly.
Compared to this, what he cares more about is the innate ability of the beast pack to invade Nibelungen. Of course, he is not surprised by this. Even if he didn't expect Su Mo to complete the construction so quickly, Nidhogg must have guessed that Su Mo would use Nibelungen to resist the Black Tide. With his current condition, it is not difficult for him to bestow the bloodline of surpassing the "Key" Wordspirit upon the beast pack.

"The invasion of the King Beasts can be stopped by Xia Mi alone, and the invasion of the Divine Beasts can be barely prevented with Hui Liyi's current power."
Zero continued to report, glancing at the silver dragon circling above the end of the Rainbow Bridge.
“问题在于，除了兽群之外，红雨也开始入侵尼伯龙根。现在的尼伯龙根上空已经布满了红雾，方才若不是诺诺及时安抚大众，人类内部差点就形成了大规模恐慌。”
At a critical moment, Nono's role was successfully demonstrated.
单纯的神迹，不足以消解所有的恐慌，面对过末日的众人心中仍然紧绷着一根弦，一旦出现风吹草动就可能会应激。
As a sign of the arrival of the end times, the invasion of red rain into the Kingdom naturally stirs up unease among everyone.
This is when mascots become crucial.
Whether choosing to believe or question, human attention will involuntarily shift from the apocalypse to the shrine maiden, thereby neglecting the true source of danger.
"Hmm, the effect is just as expected: Niebelungen can only isolate the Dark Tide, not the beasts and the Red Rain."
Su Mo was not surprised by this outcome.
"The Red Rain is Nidhogg's ultimate weapon. He won't let me leave this temporal barrier. As for the beasts, he probably won't create any lifeforms below divine beasts anymore. The pressure you will face in the future will inevitably multiply, and relying solely on the mask will completely fail to meet the challenges ahead. Only the Black King with the dragon body can handle massive numbers of divine beasts."
Human internal affairs should be left to Angre, the Night's Watch, and Nono to handle, there is no need to be overly concerned.
Su Mo's focus will now shift from the conquered Black Tide to the remaining two crises and the root cause of all crises—Nidhogg.
Hearing Su Mo's words, Zero blinked for a moment and curiously asked, "
Are you finally planning to hatch the official corporeal dragon?"
In fact, given the current situation, Su Mo should have hatched into the form of a dragon corporeal and joined the battle long ago.
龙躯姿态黑王的力量自不必说，苏墨想进行的锻造和冶炼，以龙躯姿态也只会更加方便，就算他习惯人形，也可以用精神拟态出人类身体嘛！
若是早就这么做，方才兽群的危机都算不上什么困难了，甚至不需要夏弥出手，仅凭苏墨一人就足以应对全部兽群。
可不知道为什么，苏墨一直没有这么做，其他人也没问。
直到现在，才终于听到他说出这一打算。
看来也是因为局势的确紧急。
Su Mo smiled slightly in response to the question about Zero, but did not give a direct answer.
"In any case, in order to deal with Nidhogg, we must overcome the two crises of the Red Rain and the Beast Horde next. And to achieve this, we need to rely on a key candidate." Translated:
Saying that, he stared directly into the icy blue eyes of Zero.
"...Who?"
尽管已经猜到答案，零依旧忍不住瞪大眼睛，发出追问。
"You."
苏墨毫无犹豫地说道。
"Me?"
女孩小嘴微张，冰蓝色的双瞳写满了困惑，冰雪一般的小脸彻底呆住了。
无论面对苏墨发布的什么任务，哪怕是九死一生的绝境，都不会有任何动摇的三无萝莉，在此刻也不由得露出了不可思议到有些恍惚的表情。
哪怕是现在，她也依旧怀疑自己耳朵是不是有问题，以至于产生了幻听。
她？跨越尼德霍格的两个危机？
要知道，苏墨此次的计划她可是全程跟随，所以清楚的知晓，为了对抗黑潮苏墨调用了多少力量。
尘世巨蟒状态的夏弥、白银巨龙形态的绘梨衣、古往今来所有尼伯龙根、承载巫女身份的诺诺、昂热、守夜人、源稚生……
仅仅一个危机，苏墨就需要调用几乎所有资源来抵抗，并且还需要他们持续做抗争，根本没有冗余资源。
这种情况下，苏墨居然说要靠她来应对剩下两个危机。
这真的不是在开玩笑么？
这难度比让小妖奔波儿灞搞定唐僧师徒还要离谱吧？
苏墨真的是认真的？
“没错，就是你！”
再次重复的话语，以及苏墨那信赖的眼神，毫无疑问的否决了幻听的可能性。
苏墨居然是真的有这种打算！
面对这种几乎十死无生的任务，零在确认苏墨是认真的后，居然依旧没有犹豫，当场答应了下来。
"Hmm!"
虽然不知道苏墨要做什么，也不知道自己要面临多大的危险，可她依旧没有丝毫犹豫。
最差无非是送命，对她来说这从不是什么无法接受的代价。
不过，危险什么的还在其次。重要的是，她能完成苏墨的托付么？
So-
"What should I do?"
以和夏弥、诺诺等人截然不同的表现，零抛开自身的疑问，直入主题。
她不需要在意自身安危，也不需要探究苏墨的意图，这些都是无关紧要的小事，她只需要明确苏墨指令，执行苏墨给予的任务即可。
"It's very simple."
对于零这无比干练的姿态，苏墨自然是毫不惊讶。
如果说夏弥小姐是只需要哄一下什么都愿意做的类型，零就是不哄也什么都会做的类型，如同自己的手脚一般，苏墨信任她如同信任自己。
“所以，你只需要承载住我的信任就可以了。”
“？”
零歪歪头，还是不能理解。
“接下来的事情，除了夏弥、绘梨衣和诺诺之外，谁也不要说。”
苏墨席地而坐，让零也在自己面前相对而坐。
而后，他摊开手，让零将她那较小纤细的手掌放入自己掌心，并继续说道。
“你将成为胜利的关键，也将成为跨越末日的希望，下次我们见面的时候，就是胜利号角吹响的时候。”
“……苏墨？你——！”
双眼对视下，零突然明白了苏墨的打算，她立即想要说些什么，却被苏墨用另一只手封住了嘴。
“嘘！我说过，你只需要承载我的信任就可以。还是说，非要我换种方式么？”
“比如说——拜托了，零妈妈！”
看着苏墨平静的眼神，零几次张嘴，最后都无法说出什么反驳的话语。
数分钟后，她终于冷静下来，无法拒绝苏墨要求的她，只能回以小小的叛逆。
“知道了，坏爸爸！”
“？”
这只零妈妈坏掉了？
