I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 290 Dark God

"winner--"

"Special Invitation Team!"

After Robert Garcia also fell to the ground at lightning speed, Lin Xi got the first ticket to the finals as the referee announced the result.

However, he was not very happy. Instead, he frowned and looked at the wall that was broken in the aftermath of the fight. The moment the alloy wall was destroyed, a very familiar breath of dark god flowed out and quickly disappeared out of thin air.

Honda and the others came to the Nest Base, but didn’t they watch the game?

The aura of the dark god in Ken's head, Misty, Rose... seemed to point to a not-so-good outcome.

Lin Xi controlled the magnetic force and wanted to explore, but was unexpectedly intercepted by the sound nest's instrument. Knowing that he could control the magnetic force, how could he not prepare in advance?

After the battle, the angry team left in a hurry. Krauser stopped and looked into his eyes. After a while, he left with Lawrence Blood.

The Huaxia team didn't even come to the Nest Sound Base to join in the fun. Dong Zhang was the first to jump down and shouted, "Senior, congratulations!"

Lin Xi smiled and exchanged a few words with Terry and the other two, then asked, "Have you seen Honda and the others?"

His intuition told him that something was wrong. He was prepared to make a big scene before coming here, but he didn't expect Yinchao to be so honest, which made him feel even more abnormal.

All three said they had never seen the Russian team.

"Be careful and try not to separate these days." Lin Xi warned them and left while the three were confused.

Since magnetic detection doesn't work, I might as well try it myself.

The Nest Base, located on the south coast of the United States, is more like a huge steel town. The venue for the King of Fighters tournament is located in the central square of the town. It is surrounded by a four-story building and connected by dense sky bridges and stairs. Robots fly by from time to time, and the suspended vehicles that can be seen everywhere on the roadside can be ridden for free.

It looks very technological.

The staff of the Nest live in this town called 'townlet', which seems quite peaceful and nothing unusual.

Lin Xi walked around the town which was only 30 square kilometers in size, and tried to destroy the buildings in the middle. He did not smell any breath of the Dark God from the walls that he tore open. He went back to the hotel where the contestants were staying to ask, and found out that the Russian team had left the hotel early in the morning and had not returned yet.

Just when he thought he was going to return empty-handed, he accidentally pieced together the shape of the entire town in his head -

"It's a bit like an altar..." The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it resembled an altar structure, with a huge central square in the middle, regularly arranged buildings, and sky bridges connecting all the buildings.

But I feel like it can't be used as evidence. Even if it is really an altar, what exactly does it want to do?

Resurrect the dark god Abrosha?
If so, why wait until now to resurrect, or is it related to other messy games, movies, and TV series?

Why would Yinchao choose to revive the Dark God when he had nothing else to do? Did Igniz go crazy and no longer want to rule the earth? It doesn't make sense.

Lin Xi was basically certain that there was something wrong with this King of Boxing tournament. He even suspected that the missing Rose and the Russian team knew something. However, the large amount of missing information made it impossible for him to piece together any fragmentary truth, and he didn't even know how to track it down.

All we can do is wait.

The conspiracy will eventually be revealed, just wait patiently.

"It's really the characteristic of fighting competitions. There are always people causing trouble in every competition..."

Lin Xi cleared away the complicated thoughts in his mind and practiced peacefully in the Sound Nest Base, waiting for the arrival of the competition day.

Seven days later, the match between Italy and Thailand was held as scheduled. As expected, three members of the Russian team disappeared. They had not shown up for seven days, and Yinchao did not care about it. All that could be seen in the town were ordinary staff members. There was not a single cadre or even clone.

The overall strength of the Thai team is only slightly stronger than that of the Angry Team and the Chinese Team, but it is also at the bottom. The strongest player, Han Zhuli, is only at the same level as Robert Garcia. Seth was so weak that he was knocked out in a few consecutive moves by Takuma Sakazaki, the first player to appear.

Sagat and Sagat Takuma fought back and forth, but Sagat was defeated in the end. Han Zhuli could only fight until Robert Garcia came on the stage before he was defeated.

No matter how talented one is, facing an opponent who is equally talented but has seven or eight years more experience, even the Feng Shui engine cannot make up for the gap.

The Italian team won the final victory.

I think everyone can guess it. Except for Han Zhuli who was very unwilling, Sagat and Seth did not seem to have much emotional fluctuations.

As soon as the game was over, Sagat attacked Seth regardless of the situation. The two chased each other and soon rushed out of the Nest Base and disappeared.

Han Zhuli didn't even bother to pay attention to the two of them, and chose to turn around and overeat to vent her inner unhappiness.
-
Two days before the finals, Lin Xi was practicing at the training grounds when Rose’s spirit, who had been missing, suddenly appeared and said, “Mr. Lin, something terrible has happened!”

"Is there a monkey at my door?" He turned off the gravity field on his wristband and was still in the mood to make a joke.

Even if he knew there was some conspiracy, there was no need to talk about it every day. He was about to get the title of King of Fighters, and even if he didn't deserve it, he was in a pretty good mood.

"Mr. Lin, something really big has happened." Rose ignored the other party's inappropriate words, "I have been investigating a woman named Meisidi. It was she who controlled Ken and manipulated him to do evil. After the nuclear war, she continued to collect a large amount of negative emotions from all over the United States in the name of Nesting Sound."

"We found a secret passage leading underground. Misty built a shrine under the Nesting Base to worship and revive a monster called the Dark God."

"The resurrection ceremony has reached its final stage. After we went deep into the shrine, the demonized clones surrounded Ken and the others. I was the only one who could come out to ask for help."

"Please, Mr. Lin, please save them."

"What suspicious words!" Lin Xi looked at the spirit in front of him. Based on what it just said and his personality, he could only conclude that the other party had set a trap and deliberately released Rose to lure him over.

But what does it matter? It doesn’t matter even if it’s a trap.

He dried the sweat off his body and said with a smile, "Lead the way." There are still two days before the final, so let's get rid of the guy who is secretly causing trouble before the final.

So that these rubbish won't bother him from getting the title of King of Fighters.

Luo took Lin Xi to a sewer entrance behind the central square. He took a look, ignored the urging of the spirit, raised his hand and blasted the sewer opening, attracting a series of alarms and the attention of several robots nearby. "Warning, warning, this gentleman has destroyed the property of the Nest, please stay where you are and wait for the security personnel to come and deal with it..."

"Warning, warning, snort~"

The robot that kept making harsh noises was blown up directly.

Lin Xi jumped into the sewer. It was too clean inside, without even the slightest smell. Rose sighed helplessly and injected her spiritual power into the wall. A light gate gradually took shape. She said, "The shrine is located more than eight thousand meters underground. We need—"

"boom!!!"

He used a magnetic pole rupture bomb without hesitation, and a smooth passage with a diameter of two meters appeared in front of him. The magnetic sense followed the path he had blasted out, and he actually sensed the breath of the three Russian team members and Ken. He raised his eyebrows, "There really is something there."

The spirit of 'Rose' beside him disappeared the moment he made his move. The magnetic pole disruptor bomb should not have spread only eight kilometers before disappearing. It seemed to have shattered something in the middle, causing the entire town to shake.

Jumping into the passage, under the acceleration of magnetism, Lin Xi arrived underground in just a dozen seconds. It seemed much more spacious here and the temperature was much lower.

The illuminated object was a skull floating in the air, emitting a strange colorful light, making everything illuminated look extremely weird.

Countless protruding stone pillars guarded the purple and red shrine. Not far away, Ken was standing in front of the three unconscious Russian team members, struggling to resist the monsters one by one.

Those monsters were either green-faced with fangs, horns on their heads, and extremely powerful, or covered with pustules and smelling terrible. From time to time, the pustules would burst, and tiny insect-like monsters would jump out of the splashing pus, absorbing the ubiquitous aura of the dark god in the air, growing rapidly, and being beaten forward by Ken into colorful and smelly liquids.

At the entrance of the shrine, Misty, wearing a Japanese miko costume, with a weird smile on her face, said: "Lin Xi, as the strongest human fighter, you are qualified to be the sacrifice for the Lord's coming."

"Buzz~boo"

The magnetic gas bomb hit the front of the shrine, was blocked by a transparent light shield, and shattered directly.

"It's useless." Meisidi smiled grimly, "Do you know how many victims you have caused in this land?"

"One hundred million people!"

"The despair, fear, and resentment of 100 million people before their death, no matter how strong you are, cannot break the defense of the shrine."

"Boom!" The entire underground space suddenly trembled, as if the sound of fetal movement came from the thick darkness of the shrine.

Hearing the sound, Ken's face turned pale and he was kicked directly by a monster. After staggering, he used his back to block the bite of a spider-shaped monster. The sound of flesh corroding came from his back. He returned a wave of punches and destroyed the spider monster.

Lin Xi's figure disappeared in an instant, and hundreds of monster legions kept exploding. Amid the blood and flesh of monsters on the ground, he came to Ken's side and glanced at Dhalsim, who was lying on the ground with a purple face.

Honda and Zangief looked painful, but their breathing was still stable and improving. The yoga monk's condition was quite bad. His body was invaded by the power of the Dark God. In such an environment, it was very likely that he would become a slave of the Dark God before he could expel the alien power.

"Rose has lost contact since she entered the shrine." Ken panted and stood up, his melted flesh turning into pus and dripping onto the ground. "Before she went in, she said that the two gems used to revive the Dark God had been digested by the demon fetus, and the resurrection process could no longer be interrupted."

"Even if we destroy the evil bronze bell that stores negative emotions, it will be useless. She will make a final effort. If she still can't come out when the Dark God is resurrected, don't trust her any more after that."

"The Dark God is most vulnerable one minute before he descends. As long as we destroy the womb that breeds him, we can prevent his resurrection."

“Hehehe…” Meisidi laughed and said, “So you came here to die with such a beautiful dream. What a pity, such a pity.”

"No one except the power of our Lord can pass through the despair, fear, and resentment of 100 million people and enter the shrine."

"See those three idiots?"

"If you try to break into the shrine, you will suffer endless despair, fear and resentment. It's all thanks to you, Lin Xi. Without you, I would not be able to revive my Lord before being destroyed."

"Even the two gems fell into my hands. This must be destiny! Destiny!"

She screamed, her body constantly deforming, breaking her witch costume into pieces and turning into a five-meter-tall purple-skinned monster. The four fangs that burst out of her mouth kept dripping corrosive mucus.

"Destiny?" Ken covered his increasingly painful shoulder and sneered, "Look at yourself, are you still human?"

Meisidi looked down at her hands and screamed, "General Luo, you lied to me! You lied to me!"

"Laughing at you?" Another woman's voice rang out in her mouth, "As a product of the paradox of time and space, a phantom of nothingness, it is a blessing for our Lord to allow you to live in this world until now!"

"You, hehe, lie..." She gradually lost her mind, her spirit rapidly weakened until it was completely annihilated.

"What a familiar scene." Luo Jiangshen controlled the body of the monster, twisted its neck, and grinned fiercely: "Humans are really a magical race. Last time, it seemed that a man named Haohmaru prevented our Lord from coming."

"Come on, new hero, try to stop our Lord's coming."

"Take them away from here first." After watching the whole scene, Lin Xi said to Ken, "Leave the rest to me."

He noticed that the monster's flesh and blood on the ground was being absorbed by something, and now it was smooth again. He didn't care because he had magnetic protection, but the people around him might not be able to bear it.

Ken held a fat man in one hand and carried Dhalsim on his back. He didn't say anything pretentious, but just whispered, "Thank you." Then he jumped on the stone pillar and left.

The tall monster at the entrance of the shrine was watching leisurely, not looking anxious at all, and said in a relaxed tone: "Come on, it seems that you are the last hero."

"You seem to want me to come over, right?" Lin Xi suddenly said when he sensed that Ken and his men had left along the passage he came from.

The monster kept smiling, but did not respond.

"It seems so." Lin Xi raised his hand and fired a magnetic pole-disrupting bullet into the sky, illuminating the skull that was everywhere.

"Boom!" A green gas bomb flew from the monster's hand, trying to stop it, but it failed to deflect the magnetic pole-breaking bomb at all, and accurately blew the skull into powder.

The magical colors dissipated, but the light did not disappear. The walls and the ground were all glowing with light, and the entrance to the shrine turned into a dark tunnel of flesh and blood, which was constantly wriggling.
