Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 459 I am indeed your wild father... an alternate dimension counterpart
The puppet troops already stationed at the research institute include some who serve as Utan's assistants in Hammond's laboratory, and a small number who have already dispersed to various parts of Tokyo to utilize their original underground intelligence expertise to monitor the surrounding area and collect data.

Apart from DeCaprio, who decided to stay in the lab in December, the other December members who had been freed from deep brainwashing were preparing to return to their own lives. However, out of gratitude to Cheng Tian, ​​they would also use their special skills to work for Cheng Tian for a period of time.

To fight against NESTS and prevent the escaped Seth from making a comeback.

The Kagura Foundation was already under Cheng Tian's close attention, and the Hell Band trio had become completely arrogant and made no attempt to disguise or conceal themselves. Therefore, Cheng Tian actually received the information a step earlier than the organizers.

Of course, this kid didn't know that his actions had fulfilled the conditions for the Orochi's revival in Hell Band. He only knew that the trio had obviously given up the competition and broken ties with Kagura.

Even a fool could guess that their purpose in going to Kagura's house was singular: the sacred artifact, the Yata no Kagami.

If Kagura Chizuru were still conscious, Cheng Tian was certain that even if the trio did this, it would most likely be in vain. But Kagura Chizuru had already been carried away.

It was this person right in front of me.

Cheng Tian raised his head and met the gaze of the head maid, whose expression was quite complicated.

Push the time forward a little bit.

After the match ended and Kagura was instantly defeated, the head maid must have heard something from her young mistress. Anyway, she came straight to Cheng Tian after the match and asked a question that made the entire Orili team unable to hold back.

"The young lady said that you might be my counterpart from another timeline, a wild father."

"puff--"

Cheng Tian sprayed the cola in his mouth everywhere, almost following in the footsteps of Kensou eating steamed buns.

"It's true that the young lady occasionally likes to make some naughty jokes, and you can just take the 'wild father' thing with a grain of salt... But sometimes, many facts are casually revealed through jokes, so do you agree with this statement?"

Despite the bizarre "father recognition" process, the head maid appeared quite assertive and, at least, didn't seem to have any extreme emotional fluctuations.

...If Cheng Tian hadn't witnessed her shock during the time stop, he might have been fooled too.

"Hmm~"

He grabbed Mina's little sprite Chablu and, amidst its extreme resistance, wiped it on his mouth without a word. As Mina glared at him angrily afterward, Cheng Tian fell into deep thought.

From a certain perspective, he could indeed assume the role of the head maid's unrelated father in another world.

The head maid, Sakuya Izayoi, is inspired by Dio Brando, the main villain in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure." More accurately, she is an expanded version of Dio Brando's abilities, which are combined with the power systems of his Stand world.

Whether it's the deliberate JOJO pose, the love for throwing knives, or the classic time stop, it's all a tribute to and imitation of Dio Brando.

In the fan-made series MUGEN, many people even portray the two as father and daughter.

However, even excluding fan fiction and derivative works, from a creative perspective, Dio can indeed be called the "father of Sakuya," and Cheng Tian, ​​who is based on Dio, inevitably has a certain connection with the head maid.

However, Cheng Tian himself never intended to use this key aspect of his strange identity, yet it was directly exposed by that little kid who was crouching down with his head in his hands.

An alternate dimension counterpart? This description is quite accurate, as expected of a being that can sense and even influence fate in the setting.

According to this theory, whenever you load a template of a certain character, it is equivalent to becoming that character's alternate dimension counterpart.

"According to the theory of isotopes in different times and spaces, what your young lady said is correct, and you could even say that she has given a precise definition."

"But you don't need to worry too much. We just share a similar origin in terms of power composition; essentially, we're still completely unrelated independent entities. Just do what you're supposed to do on the field, no need to hold back, let your strength speak for itself." "I see..."

The head maid lowered her head slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, Cheng Tian received a message on the phone: the Doll Army had reported the attack on the Kagura Foundation.

To say that he had no interest in the Yata no Kagami would be a lie, but Cheng Tian's bigger goal right now was actually the Hell Band itself.

The people involved in the Holy Grail mission have the opportunity to defeat the Hell Band, so this great opportunity shouldn't be missed.

Therefore, seeing that Cheng Tian was still within range, it decisively sent its own world to join the fun.

According to the description of the Holy Grail mission, what I need to defeat is the "awakened" Hell Band, which corresponds to the game's Underworld Mode, where the three have awakened their Orochi powers and gained elemental abilities.

Based on the live stream records so far, none of the three have revealed any elemental abilities yet, and it is unknown whether they are deliberately hiding them or have not yet fully awakened them.

But Cheng Tian, ​​who was slowly approaching from the air, saw a fiery whirlwind burst out from the direction of the arena and begin to weave through the buildings of varying heights.

This flame, which incorporates the power of the sun, is clearly possessed only by Kyo Kusanagi.

Given Chizuru Kagura's current coma, the only person capable of helping the Kagura Foundation resist the Hell Band, and with whom they have a strong enough relationship to offer assistance, is Kyo Kusanagi.

If Kyo Kusanagi makes a move, then someone else will inevitably follow suit.

Sure enough, not long after the fire whirlwind swept past, the purple azure flames followed closely behind.

Iori Yagami only has eyes for Kyo Kusanagi, and whether there is any connection between him and the Kagura family is something only he knows.

The simultaneous actions of these two top-ranked players from the King of Fighters teams will naturally trigger various chain reactions.

For example, Benimaru Nikaido, the flamboyant player from the same team as Goro Daimon, left the field before Daimon and chased after him.

Based on his understanding of Kyo Kusanagi, he knew that he was bound to have a big fight with Hell Band. Since Hell Band was their competition opponent, he might as well settle it in the open field.

As for Goro Daimon, a pure power-type fighter, his tough wooden clogs left a series of marks on the ground, like a large truck driving steadily but a little too fast.

For example, there's the NESTS organization, which has always coveted the bloodline of the three sacred artifact families...

However, it must be said that the world view of this instance is a bit crazy from top to bottom. It is true that the Hell Band attacked the Kagura Foundation's headquarters, but when they saw that the Neon Team had been fully mobilized, the organizers immediately chose to adjust their strategy.

"Based on the special circumstances that occurred on site, and after consulting with the contestants, the organizers have decided to adjust the order of the competition."

"The fifth match, originally scheduled, has been moved up! The Neon Team and Hell Band will now have an open qualifying match!"

The host paused, then added a sentence.

"Life! Death! Are not the only concerns!"

After a brief silence, the arena erupted in cheers even more ferocious and bloodthirsty than when Athena entered the arena!
