Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 528 Let everything return to nothing.
The fact that a fist could shatter spatial fluctuations is actually quite absurd.

Orochi's black particles construct a very stable relative phase shock wave that can continuously generate impact. Whether the enemy is in reality or subspace, they will be steadily hit by the impact of the black particles until the energy itself is exhausted.

There have been tests in the game that show that black particles can bypass the wave of everyone when attacking, including the eight cups of sake after the Yasakani no Magatama is activated. If the opponent's attack has a slightly longer recovery time, getting countered is an inevitable result.

In a dungeon, theoretically, only the caster can destroy the black particles in advance, which is similar to the theory that time stoppers can only use time stop to fight against them.

So when Cheng Tian shattered the black particles with a single punch, the giant snake, feeling dizzy and unwell due to excessive blood loss, already had an ominous premonition rising in its heart.

A very dense serpentine power had risen from Cheng Tian's body.

Of course, shattering the black particles did come at a price.

The black particle fragments shattered by the fist exploded on the spot, and a large part of them tore apart half of Cheng Tian's clothes because of the close distance. The entire arm that was responsible for shattering the black particles became covered in blood.

This is not some ordinary weapon cutting; it's equivalent to a miniature area-of-effect spatial slicing attack.

It refers to the basic spatial principles that cut objects by opening and closing time portals.

But Cheng Tian, ​​who was clearly badly injured, seemed not to feel any physical pain. He raised his blood-soaked arm, licked it, and his eyes glowed red.

However, Cheng Tian, ​​who had already made a name for himself in the legend, clearly did not want to give the giant snake any explanation. Instead, he spread out his palms as if presenting a treasure.

A small handful of fresh blood gushed out of Cheng Tian's palm like a spring. The moment the blood flowed out, the giant snake smelled an extremely familiar scent and sensed something just as familiar.

Parched earth, wild lightning, the flames of destiny...

It was the three heads of the great serpent that had been killed and had their soul imprints sealed!

Correspondingly, in Cheng Tian's personal laboratory, the blood reserves of the three members of the Eight Heroes were also rapidly decreasing.

The blood rose and fell in Cheng Tian's palm. As it was being extracted from the laboratory reserves, it was also being rapidly absorbed by Cheng Tian through skin contact.

Cheng Tian's arm, which was originally covered in blood, also began to heal itself relatively quickly. A scab visibly formed and then peeled off on its own.

The giant snake was certainly not the type to watch someone transform without interrupting. Zero Frame's spiritual fire pillar also included Cheng Tian in its attack range.

However, likely due to the excessive loss of the source of power, namely blood, in a short period of time, the giant serpent's pillar of fire, which could originally cover more than a dozen people at once, has been reduced to single digits. Cheng Tian, ​​who is absorbing more of the blood of the Eight Heroes of Ice Fresh, also seems to be able to sense the landing point of the spiritual energy to some extent and take corresponding evasive actions in advance.

The serpent's fear grew stronger and stronger, as if something that originally belonged to it was about to be taken away!
Intense anxiety naturally leads to violent actions.

A flash of light, and a surge of violent energy erupted from the giant serpent.

The giant serpent crossed its arms above its head, and the violent fluctuations in space reached their peak at that moment. A look of utmost pity appeared on the serpent's face, as if it were chanting, or perhaps proclaiming—

Let everything return to nothingness.

In an instant, the sky darkened, followed by a burst of white light emanating from the giant serpent.

A seemingly invisible yet real spatial rhythm spread out at high speed and frequency like ripples, much like a supernova exploding.

The first to be hit was Cheng Tian, ​​who was closest to the giant snake among the group. He covered his head with his hands and bent down in a defensive posture. This time, it wasn't just his clothes that were damaged; his skin, muscles, and bones were also severely injured. Cheng Tian's arms were extremely muscular due to the high-frequency vibrations. Moreover, not only his arms, but also his thighs, chest, and abdomen showed terrifying injuries of annihilation scale.

"Let everything return to nothingness," "Let everyone bathe in light," and "Beautiful woman roasting mutton"—these phrases, derived from dialogue, description, and misheard lyrics, all point to the same move name used by players across the country.

The sun is shining.

Of course, this wasn't real sunlight, otherwise Cheng Tian would have performed a miracle of healing on the spot.

The essence of "Sunshine" is a move that annihilates enemies through high-frequency vibrations in space. It has the attribute that the closer the distance, the higher the damage and the number of hits. Similarly, the farther the power of this spatial vibration is transmitted, the greater the reduction in power.

No one can withstand the blazing sun, unless... the other person isn't human at all.

Perhaps because Orochi had voluntarily stepped into the arena, placing himself within the tournament rules to some extent, the sunlight that should have illuminated the entire venue, including all the spectators and fighters, was instead absorbed by the exceptionally strong rule-level barrier as it expanded to the audience seats.

The audience members were unharmed.

Even if Orochi descends, everyone must still watch the match!
This is King of Fighters '97 MUGEN!

As for the players inside the arena, things aren't looking too good.

In the game, because it's one-on-one, only one person gets hurt. But here, under the bright sunshine, it's a wide-area attack with no blind spots, and there's nowhere to escape!
Many fighters who participated in the siege of Orochi spat out blood that was shattered into a blood mist in mid-air, and their bodies suffered annihilation injuries of varying severity.

Only a few spectators who were far enough away were able to withstand the strain.

In the rapid alternation of light and darkness, a large number of fighters and players inside the arena had already fallen. It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but rather that the sunlight, with its near-instantaneous wide-area kill effect, was too overpowered.

If you can't defend against it, you'll either die or be on the verge of death; if you can defend against it, you'll definitely be missing some parts.

But when the giant snake lowered its head again and looked ahead once more, the snake's vertical pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Because Cheng Tian, ​​whose body was almost unrecognizable, still stood firmly in front of her, while not far behind Cheng Tian was Eileen, who was coughing up blood and frantically clicking on recovery potions in her inventory.

Based on the theory of spatial fluctuations, with Cheng Tian acting as a human wall of resistance, the damage suffered directly behind him will inevitably be reduced.

Cheng Tian, ​​however, managed to survive the long period of intense sunlight by using the blood of the Eight Heroes and a massive reserve of fresh dragon blood.

When Cheng Tian opened his arms, which were now almost nothing but bones, the giant snake noticed that a dark, spherical object had appeared on his chest at some point.

In an instant, the serpent's eyes widened even more, for she sensed what was inside the sphere.

It was loaded with a huge amount of negative human emotions!
In that instant, she knew what Cheng Tian was about to do—

"stop!!!"

"It's too late~"

Under the watchful gaze of the giant serpent, Cheng Tian's hands were already pressed on the black pearl, a divine artifact that Fina had teleported into his arms!
