Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 220 Fragment Fusion Save Template... Plunder the Fortress!
The live stream in the sky abruptly ended, the camera freezing on Allen's hollow eyes, like porous lava, and Ghost Rider's skeletal expression that appeared to others as a sinister grin as he judged the evil soul.

Everyone knew that the Silver Legion of the evil Roman Empire was doomed.

The players on the Silver Legion's side were truly devastated this time, with some even taking the opportunity to flee when they saw the Prince's plane crash.

The expressions on the faces of the players on the Knights of the Round Table's side were more complex, a mixture of joy and dissatisfaction, with a hint of fear, which then turned into relief after a while.

The unexpected duel between Cheng Tian and Allen almost completely eliminated their chances of getting a high rating in the main quest. However, after witnessing firsthand what Allen, as the loser, displayed throughout the battle, they had to admit that if they had actually encountered him on the battlefield, several careless players would have died.

While the Orange Knight, that stinky fish-smashing boss, did steal their main quest boss, he also indirectly took on all the firepower that should have been distributed throughout the legion.

Of course, the most important thing is that chillingly profound "The Theory of Heroes and Demon Kings"—

The Demon King is powerful and terrifying. If the hero kills the Demon King, doesn't that prove that the hero is more terrifying than the Demon King?
Why would some brain-dead kings and their subjects in Japanese light novels think that a powerful hero who can kill a demon king is someone they, as ordinary people, can reject?
Does that mean good people deserve to have guns pointed at them? That doesn't make sense.

Anyway, although the chosen players have different personalities, those who come up with such brainless ideas have probably already died in some dungeon long ago.

Cheng Tian killed Allen, and Cheng Tian was clearly the stronger one. Even if they had a lot of grievances in their hearts, they would hide them tightly and would never let Cheng Tian see the slightest problem... Moreover, no matter how you look at Cheng Tian's appearance, he has nothing to do with being a "good person".

Even if his fiery skeleton form really is an angel...

"The Knights of the Round Table!"

At that moment, Arthur raised his sword in the stone again, holding it high above his head, where it burst forth with a dazzling golden light. Then, he swung it down heavily, aiming directly at the Silver Legion, which had already begun to retreat.

"kill!!!!!"

[The Knights of the Round Table have reached peak morale and will not decline until the battle ends.]

The Knights of the Round Table, with their inferior overall equipment but with golden eagles hovering above almost every soldier's head, charged with unparalleled fervor towards the Silver Legion, whose overall equipment was better but which had completely collapsed following Allen's death.

……

It is worth noting that the Sun Altar did not collapse immediately after Cheng Tian's victory, and the main storyline settlement, which should have occurred with the death of the Silver Prince, did not arrive immediately. Clearly, everything is not completely over yet.

As Cheng Tian's body began to gradually revert to flesh, he took advantage of the fact that his fingers were still in the form of a fiery skull and reached into Allen's eye socket. After groping around, he pried out the orange-red gem fragment that had completely lost all ability to resist.

Then, he flicked his fingers, aimed the gem fragment at his forehead, and as the hellfire reformed into his body, he inserted the gem fragment.

Unlike Allen, who forcibly assimilated his body without any experience, Cheng Tian had actually completed the fusion using his mutated prefrontal cortex. Therefore, he was more aware of his body's adaptability and the amount of food he could absorb.

The fragments, having lost their host, began to attempt to take over Cheng Tian's body, but were quickly swallowed up by the 5% fragments that had already assimilated with the prefrontal cortex.

As Cheng Tian himself grimaced and trembled, the 10% fragment soon yielded and became part of Cheng Tian's mutated frontal lobe. A series of spatial notifications then popped up.

[You have successfully fused the Sun God Gem fragment, bringing your total fragment holdings to 15%.] [Your talent 'Blazing Sun's Protection' has received a partial effect boost, while its talent rank remains unchanged.]

Your equipment "Sun Mask" has successfully unlocked its 5th effect - Purifying Light.

[Due to Allen's death, the backlash effect of "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" has ended. You have been forcibly uninstalled from the "Ghost Rider/Johnny Blaze" template and reloaded from the "Grave Knight/Marcus Cruz" template.]

The changes you made to the Ghost Rider template have been saved. When you reload the template, the current state will be retained. For example, "Hell Chains" has been changed to "Hell Chains (Chain Form/Hammer Form)".

When you are in any instance, you can temporarily replace your current template with the "Ghost Rider/Johnny Blaze" template by consuming one "Silver Knight Statue" or other special items with the Knight attribute. The temporary template loaded in this way will last for 30 minutes.

You can only temporarily load the "Ghost Rider" template once per instance.

With the blessing of the Sun God Gem fragment, you can still load the Ghost Rider template even during the daytime, but the template's duration will be reduced to 15% of its original value, and some of the template's abilities will also be weakened.

Cheng Tian's Ghost Rider form was a temporary template formed by combining the backlash of the Hundred Demons Night Parade skill with his gaming prowess, so it was forcibly removed after Allen's death.

However, the template-related progress save file remained. As long as Cheng Tian could use special items with strong knight attributes, such as the Silver Knight Statue, as spell casting costs, he could gain at least one opportunity to transform and escape in subsequent dungeons.

This form is to Cheng Tian what Super Saiyan 1 is to a Saiyan.

However, upon seeing this notification, Cheng Tian remembered that even if the skill was backfired, the dead target would turn into a demon or monster corpse after death, and the drop range would also expand.

Cheng Tian turned his head and looked in the direction of Allen's corpse. He found that the other party had turned into an empty silver knight armor that was about the same size as the Flaming Demon Sword and about 8 meters tall from head to toe. This was also a demon unit in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, most likely the Ultimate Guardian, except that the color had changed from gold to silver.

Unexpectedly but also logically, the treasure chest dropped by Allen, the leader, after his death was still silver, as if he had a strong attachment to this color. However, the shape of the chest clearly indicates that it is a treasure chest.

However, after getting the hang of it, Cheng Tian discovered that the chest, which was dropped by the main quest boss, could still be cut up. Moreover, it not only dropped exclusive treasures from the Knights of the Round Table dungeon, but also did not affect its original drops.

When Cheng Tian touched the box, he also absorbed the giant red heart that fell out with it into his body, instantly filling up his Innocent Souls inventory, which had already been increased to 149.

But Cheng Tian was stunned at this moment, because a series of prompts popped up in front of him.

The Silver Legion's leader, "Prince Allen the Silver," has fallen in battle; the chief knight, "Dual-Sword Knight Balford," has also perished; and the lieutenant, "Axe-Spear Knight Skaun," is currently on campaign with the legion.

Having also witnessed the Lakshir ascension ceremony, the remaining personnel at the Silver Fortress, aware of Prince Allen's death, initiated a full-scale escape.

[Soldiers flee in disarray; Roman players are forced into the main storyline's failed evacuation phase, while British players can choose whether to initiate the pursuit phase.]

The Silver Fortress of the evil Roman Empire has fallen into complete captivity.

The Silver Fortress has entered a "plunder-allowed" state. As the victorious faction, you can attempt to penetrate the Silver Fortress to find and plunder valuable items.
