Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 470 Tige survives, Kaiba advances

"Alas, we regret to inform you that the Demons' star player, Ticky, has chosen to forfeit the remainder of the match. Although it is a pity, the organizers will respect her decision."

After Cheng Tian was temporarily brought in to provide specialized commentary on the players' abilities, the sunglasses-wearing male host, who had comfortably taken over the support role, announced a new notification.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

First of all, these three members of the Demon Team had almost no connection with each other, which was completely different from the three big-nosed people who shared the same origin. They were more like acquaintances who were just partners.

If there were other teams to team up with, then the fight would be fine, and Tigi could try to push things forward a bit more. But with Demetery "dead" and Kazama Jin unconscious, even if she ultimately defeats the severely exhausted Kaiba president and successfully advances to the top eight, it means she will have to face all the subsequent teams alone.

Tigg isn't that arrogant, and her desire to perform isn't that strong, besides...

The guardians residing behind Tigger, who existed with dark green and pure white wings respectively, revealed their true forms when the Titan unleashed its Crushing Fist—the Death God Nicholas and the Water Sprite Undine.

In a sense, Tigger, like President Kaiba and Cheng Tian who has a loading template, is in a Stand-like state, and in terms of combat, she basically leaves the work to her summoned creatures that are highly compatible and integrated with her.

Unlike the other two, Tigi's guardians are beings with self-awareness. They can even bypass Tigi's own will and force her to do things that she herself does not want to do.

Of course, their initial intention was definitely for Tigger's good, but their values ​​and worldview are still very different from those of humans... although Tigger isn't exactly human either.

Just like this surrender was the result of discussions among the three. Tigi herself had little initiative, and the two guardians, in order to ensure the safety of their main bodies and avoid the same fate as their two teammates, simply surrendered.

According to the original schedule, today's fourth and final match was between the Fatal Fury Team and the Howard Special Team, which was a highly anticipated match for many.

It not only involves the feud between Garou and Geese Howard, but also features two characters who were gender-swapped during the auditions, which is much more exciting than simply watching women fight.

However, due to the Hell Band's extra actions, the originally scheduled fifth match was brought forward. At the same time, the overwhelming destructive power unleashed by the strongest team, consisting only of Kaiba, made the audience and fighters show expressions of being overwhelmed with excitement.

You should know that even watching a game takes physical effort.

That blow from the gods was so shocking that it lingered in everyone's minds. In this situation, unless the next team delivers an even more powerful shock to overshadow the image of that punch, the audience will hardly be able to muster any enthusiasm, regardless of the outcome.

Oh, and there's more.

The screen switched to show the two teams, the Hungry Wolf Team and the Howard Team, with each captain occupying half of the screen. Their deathly pale faces were clearly reflected on the screen.

Leaving aside the other team members, at least these two captains have temporarily lost their fighting spirit and energy to continue the game.

Watching their hopes of turning back into men crumble before their very eyes was a blow they had never imagined.

More importantly, they are not qualified to say anything to Seto Kaiba. After all, they were the two who started the foul attack on Demeter in the first place. The president just fulfilled their wishes, but things simply didn't go as planned.

It seems that both the audience and the contestants need a night's rest to recover. "After consideration by the organizers, today's competition is now over. Please leave in an orderly manner. Those who wish to purchase souvenirs can proceed to the sales area inside the venue according to the signs."

As the organizers predicted, the audience, driven primarily by bloodlust, had few objections to the organizers' decision, and they certainly needed to process what they had seen that day.

There are also many more detailed aspects that need to be repeatedly watched and studied through official replays.

Cheng returned to his ever-growing group with a deluxe Japanese edition of *Jin Ping Mei* that the organizers had somehow found, along with a languid flying car seat as a souvenir.

Yes, Fina is still there, and she's still reeling from the terrifying punch from Obelisk the Titan.

Although Cheng Tian can only summon the goddess once per main story dungeon for assistance, her existence time is unlimited. Theoretically, Cheng Tian could even summon the goddess for assistance right at the start of the game.

In "Armor Warriors," Fina was summoned during the final boss battle, and there wasn't much time left afterward. She felt a rushed and superficial understanding of her experiences after being summoned.

This time, Fina was going to take a good look at what kind of scene Cheng Tian was in and the world he was in.

But once she saw it, she was overwhelmed; the word "exhilarating" perfectly encapsulates her current feelings.

Although the Demon King Dam could have easily achieved the same or even more exaggerated performance, the atmosphere of the arena and the sense of being there in person created a sense of awe that transcended the destructive power itself.

At this moment, Fina also rediscovered the source of the allure of the "Colosseum".

Fina, who made no attempt to hide her wings, took the lead in waving to Cheng Tian as he returned. At the same time, she noticed that although the surrounding audience repeatedly focused their gaze on her wings, their eyes did not show the same awe they had in the Ys world. It was as if they were facing a group of players in a virtual space.

This free atmosphere is also something Fina likes.

...Why do these people look at Cheng Tianshi with such hostility?
Almost everyone has this feeling of "If I could beat you, I would have beaten you to the point of being unable to take care of yourself."

"Is this the vampire muscle man? Is this all that's left? The contrast is quite striking."

Looking at the little guy standing on Cheng Tian's shoulder, Eileen, who had also received the side quest notification, showed a subtle expression. She even reached out to touch the car seat, but was bounced away by the car seat's wing.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on me! I am a noble young master from the Demon Realm!"

The flying car seat was perfectly justified, and then this sound was heard.

"Little Blue, bite it, don't swallow it."

The blue pterosaur with crocodile-like mouthparts swallowed Dimitri whole in one gulp.
