Chapter 434 Large-scale Feng Shui Engine = Machine Doll Reserve Device
Hammond, Shadow, and NESTS—the three factions are all making a big fuss in one place, so the organizers couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

However, even if they knew, they couldn't truly interfere unless they had top-tier fighters like the Hungry Wolf Team or the Dragon Tiger Team as their subordinates to maintain order.

So, as a last resort, all they could do was use the other sixteen live streaming channels to divert the public's attention away from Hammond Labs during the three-way battle.

Hammond Labs was located in what was originally a park area, which was quite far from the surrounding bustling city center. After two days and one night of chaotic fighting, the public had become largely desensitized to the vibrations and sounds that were even more exaggerated than the explosions of real firearms. Some bloodthirsty spectators would even follow the source of the danger directly to see what was going on.

They are not afraid of death, but the organizers are terrifying, after all, they still need to make money from the public.

At this point, it is crucial to deliberately guide the public's attention to other areas, and the method is actually quite simple.

That is, among the teams in the preliminary rounds, there are actually some teams belonging to the organizers. Their task is not to enter the main competition through the preliminary rounds, but to divert attention by challenging strong teams and creating incidents.

And so, the female fighter team and the superpowered warrior team were once again selected as examples, but due to the daytime situation, there is now additional guidance on the direction of the Fatal Fury team's live stream channel.

...Even so, when all the glass on the front of the entire research building shattered, the organizers could only console themselves by saying that at least there weren't many pedestrians below the building at that moment.

However, based on the MUGEN rules, even private battles that do not involve the preliminary rounds can only have the rules make necessary adjustments to the scene after the battle between the two sides has completely ended.

As for the source of the peeling paint and broken glass in the research building, it is naturally a feng shui engine that is now operating at high power under the impetus of a silver-white bald head in the underground research facility located deep inside the building.

Just as there is a "large arc reactor" in Stark Tower that echoes the chest, there is also a "large feng shui engine" in the SIN High-Tech Prosthetics Research Center Co., Ltd. building.

It serves as the prototype for the small and medium-sized feng shui engines on Han Zhuli and Seth, and also provides all the energy needed to support the research throughout the building.

This SIN supervisor, who is also Seth, who was created as a backup body for the "perfect humanoid weapon" planned by Vega, actually already knew about Shadow Luo's night raid plan through Han Zhuli, and also knew who the targets were.

But when the surveillance cameras showed Cheng Tian, ​​who had caused a disturbance in the building during the day and escaped unscathed, Seth's built-in system, with its superior analytical capabilities, made an almost impossible judgment—

Vega is dead! Seth shall rise!

Upon seeing this assessment, Seth almost instinctively flashed a healthy smile identical to Vega's.

Seth, who was destined to be Vega's backup body, was not about to easily submit to this fate. He had been coveting the position of leader of the Shadow Luo organization for a long time. If Vega was really dead as the system predicted, then he did not believe that anyone in the entire Shadow Luo could stop him from becoming the new leader.

What Four Heavenly Kings? Apart from Vega himself and Sagat who has already left, they are all just roadside figures!
But at the same time this thought arose, another thought that couldn't be ignored also emerged—

Who on earth killed Vega?!
Seth's face darkened as he watched the Stand's fist rapidly grow larger on the monitor screen.

Seth is indeed the perfect humanoid weapon in Shadow Luo's plan, possessing the "Feng Shui Engine" that can copy and replicate the abilities of all fighters and incorporate them into his own. He is also single-mindedly focused on replacing Vega. However, it is precisely because of this that he knows that there is still a gap between him and Vega.

However, Vega has most likely already fallen silently to the enemy, and the enemy even has a very clear objective: to head straight for SIN headquarters. The implications are self-evident. Thinking of this, Seth's thoughts gradually became clear. Subsequently, he used his authority as the highest-ranking person in charge of the SIN department to activate the self-destruct countdown of the large-scale feng shui engine.

Seth didn't know if these people came for him or for the SIN department, but the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" didn't apply to them. As the prime suspect in Vega's downfall, and inevitably an enemy of Shadow Luo, Seth thought that exchanging a building for the stability of Shadow Luo, which would belong solely to him in the future, was a pretty good deal.

Although this would render the entire SIN department virtually defunct, along with a vast amount of data and spare bodies, it would be worthwhile if it meant killing them...

Seth, who had already quickly left through the underground secret tunnel, was reveling in his own decisiveness.

The first wave of the large feng shui engine's self-destructing rhythm did indeed shatter a large amount of glass and wall plaster. If the explosion succeeds, the unauthorized intruders will be buried under the rubble forever.

However, after the deadline set by Seth passed, the expected violent tremor did not occur.

On the other hand, the area where the large feng shui engine was originally placed now has a huge empty space, as if the entire engine had vanished into thin air.

Cheng Tian was exhausted just now, and now Wu Tan is exhausted. It never expected that it would face such a life-or-death race at the very moment of harvest.

Just now, its hands and feet pounded open the instrument panel, using all its skills. Although its areas of expertise were different, it still provided Cheng Tian with a slight boost to the probability of plundering.

[You have discovered a "Large Feng Shui Engine/Machinery Storage Device," which can be looted. The success rate of looting is 17%.]

Researching the existence of Ape Utan grants you a 5% bonus to your looting probability.

Your 2 points of Legendary Points provide a 20% bonus to your plunder chance.

[Looting in progress—]

You have successfully looted the "Large-scale Feng Shui Engine/Gadget Reserve Device".

The large feng shui engine, which had been lying quietly in Cheng Tian's inventory, had returned to normal from its previous state of being at full pressure and with all the dashboards showing red.

The other two plundering opportunities, which were originally planned to be used entirely on this, were also successfully preserved.

I won't go into the psychological changes and thrilling moments involved, but in short, Seth's calculated yet unintentional sabotage was thwarted by Cheng Tian's mere 40% chance of plunder.

"...Is this the origin of the female Seth?"

Zooming in on the large feng shui engine image in the item description reveals eight silver-white mechs stored in nutrient solution beneath it. Among them is Seth's female form, which appeared in Street Fighter V.
