Chapter 356 A Thousand Strikes in an Instant, Mountains Uprooted, World-Shattering, Ghostly Cries, Ancient Heroes Become Ghosts
With the explosive propulsion of the super-powerful thrusters on its back, Zero Gouki's body moved forward at high speed, leaving a series of strange afterimages as it rapidly approached the mainframe, whose overall weight had been reduced due to a significant portion being swallowed by the miniature black hole and which was attempting to flip back.

Within the mainframe's metallic face vision, a massive, inverted shadow appeared in an instant, its two lively eyes now filled with an intense killing intent that even a biological computer could perceive.

But just when the mainframe thought it was about to be attacked, Zero Gouki's figure disappeared... No! In an instant, Zero Gouki's body split into countless alternating real and illusory "clones," which floated in mid-air and spread out with their engines running at full power. Each Zero Gouki was watching the mainframe.

Moreover, at that moment, a huge "soul" character appeared above the head of every Zero Gouki mecha!

[Mental Commands: Template Skills, Integration Skills. A universal skill set for all Super Robot Wars pilot classes, capable of enhancing the mech in various aspects. Depending on each pilot's individual traits, up to 6 different types of Mental Commands can be possessed.]
Your current mental commands are: Focus, Success, Perseverance, Determination, Spirit, and Soul.
Soul – The final damage multiplier of your piloted mech against enemies is increased to 2.2x. This effect can only be activated once. Using this mental command will temporarily reduce your mental attribute by 45 points, which will then slowly recover at a rate of 5 points per hour. When you use the mental command "Hotblood" simultaneously, the effect of "Soul" will be triggered first.

The enormous character for "soul" was then integrated into the body of each Zero Gouki.

At this moment, the main brain's alarm program has broken through the shielding mechanism, causing the nutrient solution inside the brain in the vat, which is in the correct position, to boil.

A shadow of Zero Gouki charged forward from the front, and the large swarm of drones that split off from the mainframe almost instinctively chose to intercept it... But when the imposing Zero Gouki collided with the drone swarm, it simply turned into a scattered shadow.

The next second, the main brain was struck hard in the back!

However, when the mainframe's mechanical arm, which had previously unleashed a miniature black hole cannon and possessed self-healing capabilities, reached back, a new Zero Gouki descended from the sky, his hand shaped like a knife, slashing down into space and instantly severing one of the mainframe's tentacles.

From this point on, the mastermind's defensive instincts become completely useless.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, countless Zero Gouki clones attacked from all directions with their fists, palms, knees, elbows, feet, and other parts that could be transformed into deadly weapons!
Everyone could only hear his voice, but never see him.

When the incessant sound of metal chiseling finally subsided, all that remained was a metal sphere, a mixture of brain tissue fragments and heart fragments, that had been brutally hammered from the steel behemoth by countless fists and kicks.

And, Zero Gouki with his back to everyone.

The character "天" (sky) behind it, which was in a bright state, is slowly fading away.

"I am the one who seeks martial arts from the heavens!"

Almost instinctively, Cheng Tian, ​​who was in perfect sync with a being who was somehow built into the machine body and was suspected to be a deceased being reactivated as a machine spirit at this moment, uttered this statement through Zero Gouki's mouth that shocked martial arts practitioners.

As the Heavenly Character behind Zero Gouki completely disappeared, a series of damage numbers belatedly appeared on the main brain, which had been hammered into a metal mass and was almost unrecognizable.

The first three damage numbers that popped up were 242 points, but starting from the fourth one, they jumped to 484 points.

Starting from the fourth punch, the "heart" inside the main brain mech was completely exposed. This heart, belonging to the main brain, is a more deadly and terrifying weakness than the brain itself. From the moment it was exposed, every blow from Zero Gouki caused shockwaves throughout his body, which successfully affected this heart, which was filled with various metal tubes.

Ultimately, the damage jumped 30 times in a row, and the total damage settled at 13794.

It almost perfectly emptied the main brain's entire health bar.

【Zero-Type Instant Kill: Mech Skill, Active Skill. Filled with profound respect for Akuma, the designers of Zero Akuma meticulously researched historical documents and thoroughly investigated any remaining traces of Akuma, striving to replicate everything about Akuma into "Zero Akuma." However, for some unknown reason, with the intervention of outsiders and the awakening of the Steel Soul, the spirit of the departed supreme warrior has reappeared in this steel body as a mech spirit. When the pilot and Zero Akuma are at a high synchronization rate and the pilot's energy gauge is full, the pilot can use the supreme secret technique of my style of assassination—Zero-Type Instant Kill—created by the mech spirit Akuma during his lifetime.】

Zero-type Shungoku Satsu will randomly select a Shungoku Satsu from all currently released fighting games featuring Akuma, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy; using Zero-type Shungoku Satsu will consume all of your current Ki gauge.

The "Instant Kill" attack you've currently drawn is based on Street Fighter VI. Each of your successful attacks will deal 110 damage (the sum of all base stats), and you can attack the same target a maximum of 30 times consecutively.

[Additional comments: A thousand strikes in an instant, unparalleled power to uproot mountains, the mournful cry of ghosts, the legendary hero transformed into a ghost.]

Through Zero Goki's eyes and the main camera, Cheng Tian raised his head slightly, staring blankly at the ceiling that had been dented by the mammoth.

At this moment, he could clearly sense that a certain being who had been walking alone on the path of martial arts had severed its connection with him and retreated back into Zero Gouki.

Correspondingly, the Steel Soul that Cheng Tian had accumulated by killing a large number of mech units was also completely exhausted at this moment.

Cheng Tian felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

At this moment, feeling a little empty, he turned his gaze back to the mainframe, which could only be described as "wreckage".

With the Zero-Type Instant Kill's 30 hits + Soul's 2.2x damage coefficient + double damage calculation for exposing the heart's weakness, Cheng Tian emptied the main brain's health bar from full in one round.

Strictly speaking, Cheng Tian actually cleared 60% of the main brain's health bar, and this also included the main brain's self-destruction.

Without the penetration of two consecutive secondary brains, the health would not drop to 40% of its original maximum.

If the mainframe hadn't released the miniature black hole cannon to self-harm, the heart that could double the final damage wouldn't have been easily exposed.

"Boss! Time to get to work!"

“Ah? Oh oh—”

Azrael, who was in a deep daze inside the Warlock, only belatedly woke up after hearing Cheng Tian's voice coming from Zero Gouki. He couldn't help but glance at the flesh-and-iron ball a few more times as he passed by before trying to take over the entire ship.

Soon, the super-large base spaceship carrying a large number of Leias and Cheng Tian's group completely stopped ascending and began to slowly descend.

The moment the spaceship landed completely, the entire instance froze.

The sky began to display Cheng's settlement screen.
