Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 514 Without three heads, it can no longer be called Yamata no Orochi.

As mentioned in the dungeon entry, this "King of Fighters '97 MUGEN" dungeon has a broad faction allocation: one side consists of the inheritors of the Three Sacred Treasures, and the other side consists of the Orochi Eight Generals.

However, if we broaden this broader division of factions, it could actually be divided into a "human faction" and a "Serpent faction".

Orochi is not a purely villainous character in the traditional sense, but rather the embodiment of the planet's will, albeit with some very classic and self-righteous beliefs.

Humans kill each other and destroy the environment, so in order to protect the planet, it is necessary to eliminate humans.

AI Gaia thinks so too~
The "self-righteousness" here actually refers to humans. For the vast Earth, humans are just a link in the food chain. As long as Mother Earth shakes her body or sneezes, countless humans can be plunged into an abyss of destruction.

Dinosaurs, the dominant species on Earth for 1.65 million years, have vanished just like that. How can humans, who have only existed for a few hundred thousand years, be so certain that they will continue to exist forever?
Those so-called environmental changes, greenhouse effect and other phenomena are just the planet's self-adjustment, an inevitable result. Whether there are humans or not doesn't matter much, let alone the fact that a planetary will would deliberately create a way to kill humans... and shamefully sealed away by the three divine artifacts.

It can only be said that a work is a projection of the author's will. Due to the limitations of the era and their knowledge, SNK designed Orochi, a small-minded planetary will that only gets entangled with three families.

When this will to oppose humanity is displayed through the Eight Heroes, the martial artists, as outstanding individuals, will naturally respond with equal resistance.

Cheng Tian didn't know what ordinary people would do, but those outstanding individuals would certainly not easily succumb to the so-called planetary will.

Cheng Tian was lured here by Kagura Chizuru, while the other Wind Chasers gathered spontaneously.

In fact, even before the natural disasters of storms and earthquakes occurred, the intense light emitted by Cheng Tian, ​​this little sun, illuminating one-twenty-third of Tokyo, had already attracted the attention of a large number of people.

Furthermore, Cheng's subsequent behavior of recklessly flying a helicopter in this theoretically no-fly zone attracted a group of people who came looking for him.

No matter what it is, it's important to first enjoy the gossip.

However, there were also a considerable number of veteran fighters who had experienced the previous King of Fighters tournament, such as Terry Bogard and Ryo Sakazaki. The moment they saw the storm gathering, they immediately thought of Goenitz, so they did not hesitate to take action.

Last year, Lao Gao was able to single-handedly defeat everyone with an overwhelming advantage, but Xiao Gao...

The nascent storm was abruptly blasted apart by the combined fire of the fighters!

The current Nicole is an enemy of humanity!
Breeze Storm is indeed the only one among all the Eight Heroes who can use her power perfectly without needing to awaken it later in life. However, her body is still human and is still subject to the limitations of breaking through extreme limits.

With Orochi already heavily weakened and his own strength relatively insufficient, it's simply... difficult for one person to fight against a group of heroes!

The rapid and intense emotional fluctuations in a short period of time caused Gao Nicole a slight heartache, but she was now able to observe her current situation more calmly.

The flowing wind recorded the outlines of all those who participated in the attack on her, the most important of whom was naturally Cheng Tian, ​​who had already landed safely.

Gao Nicole tried to deeply imprint every detail of Cheng Tian's body into her mind, and the emotions in her eyes had completely transcended what simple hatred should be.

Then, a gust of wind swept by, and her figure completely disappeared.

All that remained was Yashiro, who had smashed a hole in the ground and reconnected himself to the earth.

For Gao Nicole, who was determined to escape, no one at the scene could stop her. Cheng, using his Tai Chi True Eye, circled around but found no trace of Gao Nicole, clearly indicating that she had teleported beyond the 5-kilometer scanning limit.

The heroes had no time to pay attention to Nicole's disappearance, because with Yashiro's landing, another significant local earthquake occurred.

However, now Yashiro is no longer only fighting against Cheng Tian and his group and Kyo Kusanagi.

ten minutes later.

[You participated in and killed Yashiro of the Dry Lands (1/1). You and your team units have reached the maximum damage reduction against all types of attacks from "Heavenly Gods/Orochi Blood" units, currently at 30%.]

[You have completed the side quest/Holy Grail Mission - "Crush the Awakening Hell Band"]

[The resurrected Orochi will be further weakened in the future, with its overall health decreasing by a cumulative 60%.]

At the cost of the partial collapse of buildings, the last member of the Hell Band trio also perished on the spot.

Three young, innocent souls reunite in the cycle of reincarnation, while the three soul imprints bearing the power of the Great Serpent and the attributes of heinous crimes are all firmly locked in the hands of the Ghost Cage by Cheng Tian.

However, Cheng Tian and Eileen did not leave immediately after the incident. Instead, they joined the cleanup teams of sponsors such as the Kagura Foundation and Kaiba Entertainment to move the building debris and rescue the unfortunate people.

The fighters who gathered here mostly stayed on site to work together.

Kyo Kusanagi, who originally wanted to continue looking for his girlfriend, stiffened and chose to stay and help. However, Chizuru Kagura then brought him news that brought him mixed feelings.

Her girlfriend, Xue, was found in the basement of the church, which had been reduced to ruins, but she was also immediately admitted to the ICU after being drained of her energy.

Interestingly, after seeing that Cheng Tian had stayed to help, some of the players who were about to leave also stayed after exchanging bewildered glances.

With the help of a large number of superhumans, and with the disaster area being limited to a very small area, the overall cleanup work was completed close to midnight.

To the delight of the remaining players, after the overall rescue and cleanup work was completed, they all unlocked their personal reputation with the Kagura Foundation and Kaiba Entertainment, as well as the corresponding shop purchase system.

Moreover, even those who did not make it to the top 16 received a notification that their reputation would be retained.

This was an unexpected bonus.

Of course, how much those players who left because they felt it wasn't their problem might regret it later is another matter entirely.

However, strictly speaking, the incident involving Hachiji was not over.

Cheng Tian knew that the next time he saw Gao Nicole, she probably wouldn't look the same as she did now...
