Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 329 Brain Flower Terminator

【Warlock's Doctrine: Template Skill, Unifying Skill. A special "doctrine" that can only be used by Order warlocks. It can be applied to the driver or the vehicle they are driving depending on their inclination, and can have a powerful, game-changing effect at critical moments.】

There are six doctrines of the warlock—

SPRITA of Will - This ability restores 25% of the maximum MP of any allied unit within a 30-meter radius, including the user.

POTANT of the Source - can restore up to 50% of the maximum energy of up to 13 friendly vehicle units within a 20-meter radius.

The Battlefield Auxlum increases the kill count of up to 5 friendly units within a 10-meter radius by 1. (A kill only counts if the mech, spaceship, or other vehicle is completely destroyed.)
PALAS Force Field - This ability reduces the maximum energy of up to 12 enemy vehicles within a 20-meter radius by 75%, while also reducing their movement speed, armor thickness, and aiming accuracy by at least 2 stars.

The Jumping SALIRA – capable of forcibly moving any friendly unit and its vehicle within a 40-meter radius to any location within that radius.

The Spirit PRODIG – can apply the Spirit Commands “Soul” and “Aura” to any allied unit within a 30-meter radius (including itself), as well as the additional actions “Direct Attack” and “Crushing Strike”.

Using Warlock Doctrines costs no resources, but you can only choose one of six to use each 24-hour period.

Cheng Tian's current condition stems from the mutation of the "Ten Commandments," which changed from radiation that could only affect humans to a virus that could only affect humanoid machines.

As a being that has undergone deep mechanical modifications, Azrael is immune to the original Ten Commandments, but happens to fall within the special attack range of the temporarily mutated Ten Commandments.

However, since the original mental conflict has turned into a computational conflict between the virus and the program, Cheng Tian, ​​as the caster, was inevitably dragged into it as well.

This simulation program, which uses the human brain as a tool, has an extremely high degree of simulation for both the operator and the user; at least Cheng Tian's abilities have been completely replicated within it.

Cheng Tian, ​​without hesitation, used the last of the six warlock doctrines, which was the most murderous: the PRODIG of the soul.

Strictly speaking, this is a composite skill. It is equivalent to integrating two mental commands and two additional actions into one, and eliminating the cost of these commands and actions as well as the cooldown time between them.

[Soul: Your next attack deals 2.2x increased damage. If used simultaneously with 'Hotblood,' the effect of 'Soul' takes priority. Costs 90 MP. Cooldown: 5 minutes]

[Aura: Your Qi increases by 30 points. Costs 90 MP. Cooldown: 5 minutes.]

[Direct Attack: This attack negates all defensive special abilities, special skills, and damage reduction effects from attacking large enemies on your next attack. It can only be used once. Consumes 2 kill counts. Can only be used once per battle.]

【Crushing Strike: For 20 seconds after activation, all your attacks and counterattacks will always deal critical hits (1.5x damage), and this effect can stack with the Spirit Commands 'Hotblood' and 'Soul'. Consumes 3 kills. Can only be used once per battle.】

Just like how he never saves money when necessary, he often doesn't know how to save skills either.

Regardless of the enemy's health, or whether my attack will cause excessive damage...

Use it first! Kill the enemy first!
Gates LB, who was incorporated into the battle sequence along with Cheng Tian, ​​suddenly turned into a pitch-black shadow and entered Nightmare form. Then, the purple Heart Barrier directly enveloped Azrael, who was still unable to react and was under mind control.

Immediately afterwards, two crystal eyeball-shaped "floating cannons" appeared out of thin air and split into four in front of the "brain"!

The sky above the space where computing power confronts space has been shrouded in blackness. That blackness, which cannot be dispersed, has simultaneously established a link with Cheng Tian's main body and the four heart-image crystals.

The brain, still aware of the terrifying danger Cheng Tian had displayed, instantly swelled up, transforming Azrael from a cyborg into a humanoid piloting a mecha. It was a black humanoid mecha with some orange-yellow accents, possessing a standard human build similar to the Brodia, with a well-proportioned body, resembling from a distance a medieval knight clad in black armor—

SVA-100M Warlock.

As the latest generation of mass-produced test machine of the Principality of Leia, this Warlock's experience is very similar to that of the Brodia, both of which are machines that continued to be researched even after a ceasefire agreement had been signed.

The fact that Azrael was able to acquire a machine that had never been used in battle as his own vehicle further demonstrates the extent to which the forces behind Azrael had infiltrated the Principality of Leia.

However, as the Warlock's attire caused a change in body size, Cheng Tian's Heart Barrier coverage area also increased dramatically, still firmly keeping him within the barrier.

The Warlock raised its arms and began firing dual pistols using the Vulcan cannons built into its Iron Fist, causing the Heart Barrier's durability to visibly decrease rapidly.

However, the Heart Barrier, which has the simplest way to break free, is also the most difficult to break quickly. As long as there is 1 HP left, it can still restrict the enemies inside to a certain range.

This relatively minor-modified Warlock clearly lacked the ability to deal massive instant damage, and could only watch helplessly as five high-energy threat signals, resembling those of space-based weapons, appeared in the sky.

Those are five magic spears, Thor!

As these demonic spears were generated, Cheng Tian consumed a total of 250 MP (the consumption of the Book of Ys was halved), and at the same time, the Nightmare Corrosion increased by 50% (the corruption rate of the Book of Ys doubled).

The Book of Ys, which was flipping rapidly, was suddenly slammed shut by the Iron Fist of the Orange.

Five energy beams, resembling those blasted from an armed satellite in near-Earth orbit, slammed heavily into the Heart Barrier!

（350+170）*1.5（魔魇侵蚀率增幅50%）*2.2（精神指令魂）*1.5（额外行动粉碎猛击）=2574。

This number jumped five times above the Warlock's head!
A total of 12870 points of damage!
The Warlock is destroyed.

The driver inside, "Azrael," also exploded.

Meanwhile, in a secret experimental base on the planet Leia, a humanoid brain encased in an experimental glass dome was also blown to pieces, with brain tissue fragments mixed with brain matter covering the entire glass dome.

Along with it came a mournful wail with a heavy electronic synthesized tone, and a cry of "Orange!!!!!" that, even in its synthesized form, was filled with extreme resentment, echoing throughout the empty base.

In the real world, the red light that Azrael saw, representing mind control, completely dissipated, restoring the white-orange color of the Leia people themselves.

[You defeated the "brain" in the program space, and due to the extreme overflow of damage, it affected its physical form, causing irreversible damage.]

The brain's maximum blood volume is permanently reduced by 20%, and overall computing power is reduced by 20%.

Your personal reputation with the "Brain" has dropped to "Blood Feud".

You will be wanted by the high-ranking officials of the Principality of Leia, who are controlled by a "brain."
