Is Chapter 458 the key condition for the resurrection of the Great Serpent?

In 96, Goenitz, the leader of the Orochi Eight Generals, physically eliminated one of the guardians of the sacred artifact Yata no Kagura by killing Chizuru Kagura's twin sister.

Although the three sacred treasures are all tools used to seal Orochi, the Yata Mirror, whose main function is defense, is the most important. Its proper function is closely related to the breaking of Orochi's seal.

Even though a low-probability event occurred, namely that Kagura Maki's soul was completely preserved in the artifact, the artifact's power inevitably weakened. This led to the initial failure of the Orochi seal, the initial awakening of Orochi's will, and its ability to influence and guide the other Eight Heroes reincarnations and bloodline inheritors scattered throughout the world.

Originally just ordinary members of an underground band, three young men who occasionally clashed with Yagami on band philosophies, they were awakened by this.

Chris, a member of the Hell Band, possesses the purest Orochi blood among all the contemporary Eight Heroes, which passively makes him a charging tool for absorbing energy dissipation and negative human emotions.

Yes, the mission of the Hell Band trio has never been to participate in some King of Fighters tournament and achieve excellent results, but rather to actively participate in the chaos between fighters, thereby amplifying the negative emotions and energy emanating from the fighters and the audience, and thus fueling Orochi's resurrection.

What the three of them didn't expect was that there would be a chaotic preliminary round before the main competition. Moreover, the number of forces and teams fighting each other was countless, so much so that for the past few days, the air above the entire city has been filled with the energy released from the fights between the fighters, so much so that Chris couldn't even absorb it all.

However, this also led to Chris becoming picky about this kind of dissipated energy.

The result was that, without even entering the main tournament, the foundation for reviving Orochi was already full... However, contrary to the abundance of energy, very little negative emotion was absorbed.

It's worth noting that when Goenitz caused a massive natural disaster, the negative emotions he evoked in humanity were also catastrophic, but this time the audience clearly has a problem.

Regardless of the extent of the impact, people's emotions were almost entirely positive, even bordering on bloodthirsty!
The vast majority of them were filled with the strange emotion that "it would be worth dying for if I could witness an epic battle."

This huge contrast in cognition and emotion really troubled Hell Band's key needs, until... Cheng's stunt double punched Athena Asamiya in the abdomen.

Good heavens, the sheer volume of negative emotions—hatred, anger, and even a fair amount of jealousy—emanating from the fan base at that moment struck Chris so hard that he immediately stood at attention.

In an instant, Chris felt as if countless air pumps were being inserted into every hole in his body, frantically pumping air into him. If it weren't for the fact that his vessel, which was theoretically capable of withstanding the descent of the giant serpent, was incredibly sturdy, he would have been blown apart in one go.

As it turns out, the audience wasn't without negative emotions; it's just that Hellstreet lacked the appropriate means to evoke them.

At this point, the basic energy and emotions required for Orochi's resurrection are sufficient; anything more would only be icing on the cake.

Therefore, when they analyzed the match schedule and discovered that the women's fighting team was the second match, they decisively left the main arena en masse to prepare for the second step of their plan—

To damage or weaken the Three Sacred Treasures.

Based on current information, only the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) of the Three Sacred Treasures is enshrined in a shrine, while the Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Kusanagi Sword) and the Yasakani no Magatama (Eight-Span Curved Jewel) are rarely seen in physical form.

The trio's goal was very clear: to try to seize or even destroy the Yata Mirror.

To their even greater advantage, Chizuru Kagura, who was fighting Sakuya Izayoi, was severely injured and collapsed. This inevitably weakened the power of the guardian priestess within the Yata Mirror linked to her, causing even more of Orochi's aura to dissipate. Previously unaware of the shrine's exact location, they were able to find it by following the aura.

They no longer bothered to conceal their whereabouts. Even without paparazzi following them, they appeared directly at the main gate of the Kagura Foundation, and the foundation's guards, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, immediately gathered together.

As one of the organizers, the information reported by the official paparazzi should have been relayed to Chizuru Kagura immediately. However, unfortunately, Chizuru Kagura had already fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss and was unable to receive the information, so she was unable to provide an immediate solution. Without a leader, the conglomerate could only proceed according to its usual pre-arranged plan.

But these guards, who are quite powerful to ordinary people, are no match for the three members of the Eight Heroes, even if the trio did not use the power of the Origin Serpent.

Standing at 1.9 meters tall, with the most muscular build and the most flamboyant attire, Yashiro Nanakase, without a word, retracted his elbow and unleashed a swift, lightning-fast punch at the makeshift defensive line formed by the guards' shields.

Ultimate move: Final Impact!
The human wall of guards was immediately breached, and the living people were scattered everywhere like the contents of a torn garbage bag.

At the same time, a loud alarm sounded within the conglomerate, signifying an invasion by external enemies.

This means they have completely broken ties with the King of Fighters tournament and there's no turning back.

"Hey~~ I have an important message to share, please look at the big screen."

The host, who was also taking a break at the main stadium, received a call sheet. Thinking it was just a routine insertion of some sponsor advertisements, the host swallowed his tea and picked up the microphone to start speaking.

The large screen, which was playing the advancement and team information on a loop, suddenly flashed. Before the image even appeared, a voice filled with obvious fear was heard.

Then, images of the Hell Band trio rampaging and the guards sprawled haphazardly on the roadside were projected onto the big screen.

"Let me see... The three members of Hell Band stormed the Kagura Foundation headquarters and launched a terrorist attack!?"

The host, realizing what had happened only after reading the note aloud, was utterly astonished.

The entire audience erupted in uproar, with the vast majority of people having no idea what they were doing.

Meanwhile, Kyo Kusanagi, who was sitting quietly outside the infirmary, suddenly stood up after hearing the announcer's report.

His experience in 96 immediately reminded him of the four words "Heavenly God Clan"!
In addition, this Hell Band was originally the team that was scheduled to compete against them!

A scorching gust of wind swept past, and Kyo Kusanagi's figure had already disappeared into the corridor.

Meanwhile, Cheng, who was staring at the maid, released his world a little earlier and immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.
