Chapter 531 Hidden Ultimate Skill for Low-Health Characters That Surpasses the Current Version
In terms of the application of the power of the Eight Heroes alone, Cheng Tian, ​​the account thief, is naturally far inferior to the source of all Orochi's power, namely Orochi's own body, in this respect.

Orochi can even raise the power within his body from a low level to the level of the Four Heavenly Kings when he is not strong enough.

The power of darkness advances to 'Chaotic Dark Erosion', the power of teeth advances to 'Steel-Splitting Ferocious Fang', the power of beasts advances to 'Shadow Beast Roar', and the power of death advances to 'Hell-Shattering Death Grip'.

Not to mention that Cheng Tian actually has two fewer heads than the giant snake, so his overall usable power is clearly at a disadvantage.

However, Cheng Tian has a unique quality that even a fully-formed Orochi from 97 cannot match.

That is, Cheng Tian knows everything about the future of the Orochi clan, including but not limited to the death, resurrection, reuse of all of them, and... hidden super special moves from later versions of King of Fighters!

The thunderclouds roaring in the sky contain the power of Shermie, the raging lightning, which should only be available in the King of Fighters 2002 UM version, and whose release conditions are extremely demanding.

The 2002 version removed the "support system" that many players criticized, bringing back the traditional 3V3 mode, and also introduced a super cancel mechanism with a very wide impact, commonly known as "BC combo".

Simply put, it involves forcibly canceling the original attack's recovery animation by consuming energy, and immediately following up with moves that couldn't be chained together before, thereby achieving the effect of instantly releasing all resources to deal massive damage to the opponent's combo.

However, compared to the BC combo, Cheng Tian was clearly more interested in testing the hidden super special move unique to this version.

Theoretically, all characters have a hidden super move that can only be unleashed when their health is low. However, the game developers, in a very childlike (and unethical) way, hid all the characters' move lists at the time of release, revealing no information whatsoever. Players back then had to figure everything out on their own!

This is exactly the same as the Yu Yu Hakusho: Makyou Touichi Sen that was released on the Mega Drive back then. The instruction manual for that game described the hidden special moves of each character as "players need to find them themselves".

However, the special moves of each character in Makio Touhou Project are basically the same. Forward-down-forward-down-punch can be used against 90% of the characters. In contrast, the move list in King of Fighters 2002 is extremely varied. It is entirely up to players scattered throughout the country to ask for directions and spread the word. Even so, it is impossible to find out everyone's low-health special moves.

In other words, Cheng Tian had already witnessed the ultimate special moves of all the Eight Heroes and Four Heavenly Kings in the 2002 version, and now that he had transformed into Orochi, he was even more capable of simulating them all.

The fundamental premise for all of this is to first reduce your health to below 3%!
Self-harm, which is difficult for humans, is very easy for vampires.

Cheng Tian only needs to actively draw blood out of his body to control his blood, and with the almost bug-like portable laboratory, he can avoid any damage during the process.

Once you've achieved the desired low health, you can naturally unleash your hidden ultimate attack.

The lightning around him, the thunderclouds in the sky, and the wails of the soul all clearly indicated that Cheng Tian was mobilizing the power of wild lightning. What's very interesting is that this move is called "Arrow of Destiny (Lightning Arrow of Destiny)".

This move is arguably the most humorous of all the hidden special moves in 2002. Its humor lies in the fact that while it can deal extremely high lightning damage to the enemy, a single slip of the hand can cause the lightning to strike you directly!

But for Cheng Tian, ​​who has obtained the essence of the noble young lady's bloodline, what was once an unknown fate has become a visible future.

Cheng Tian had already foreseen the moment when the lightning bolt of fate would strike the giant serpent!
Click!

A deafeningly loud explosion instantly reverberated throughout Tokyo. The lights that had illuminated the sky due to the thunderclouds went out in a wave-like pattern, centered on the main fighting arena, the instant the lightning bolt exploded. Tokyo was plunged into darkness, except for the center of the main arena, which remained brightly lit to an almost blinding degree.

Relying on its instinctive perception of nature, the serpent knew it was incapable of any escape and didn't even have time to activate the power of the Breath of the Storm before being struck by the lightning bolt of fate that fell from the sky!

boom! ! !
A large amount of lightning spread out in all directions, and many fighters who were only affected by it were forced to twitch and throb in place.

The giant snake's health bar instantly dropped by about a quarter, or 3000 HP, and at the same time, its body fell into a severe paralysis that it could not resist.

But Cheng Tian's attacks were far from over.

Having just ended the pressure from Mu Da and created distance, Shi Jie now had both feet on the ground and was preparing to retract his elbow.

But this was not just a simple gathering of power. The soul belonging to the parched earth in Oni no Cage's hand was emitting an even stronger wail. The power of the earth was rising up from the soles of the world's feet, until it reached his fist that was gathering power.

Like the power of a successful volcanic eruption, it all converged into the arms of the world.

Charging, charging, and charging again, just as the paralyzed serpent was about to return to normal, the world unleashed a terrifying attack on it, like a volcano encased in molten lava crashing down upon it—

The final judgment!
The world, which has become more synchronized with Cheng Tian, ​​can now be used as an extension of the original body to employ some of its techniques.

Although Cheng Tian, ​​with only 26 points of strength, could still throw this punch, it was far less powerful than the world where the destructive power had been restored to A-level.

Orochi's mental barrier, which had withstood even the lightning arrows of fate, was subjected to an overwhelming and terrifying blow in that instant, shattering instantly. His already scarred chest was then hit by the hidden super attack from the 2002 version of the Dry Earth.

She endured a blow that would have instantly killed any other "ordinary human." Her bones and internal organs emitted sharp cracking sounds, and her health bar plummeted again, dropping below 45%.

With the hidden super moves of Wild Lightning and Dry Earth already appearing, how far away can the Flame of Destiny be?
of course not.

Having left the world to handle the blow that shattered the shield, Cheng Tian was already filled with a divine radiance far surpassing that of the Great Serpent.

One finger points to the sky, and the other to the earth.

It means that I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and earth.

Immediately, a radiant light, so intense it felt like walking on the surface of the sun, erupted from Cheng Tian's fingertip pointing towards the sky—a light that made all the human units present feel incredibly warm, yet felt only to the severely injured serpent.

A super combo kill! Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis under the blazing sun!
