Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 628 wasn't satisfied with just one round of criticism, it had to be done a second time.
The "Venusians" mentioned by Cheng Tian are the true sequel to Metal Slug 3, which jumps directly to Metal Slug 6 and introduces a brand new alien faction.

As for Metal Slug 4 and 5, they were actually produced by a Korean company after SNK went bankrupt. Not only were new Korean playable characters added, but the content was also far inferior to the peak of Metal Slug 3...

Of course, there's also the issue of the third generation having a "what's the use" kind of peak glory, which we won't discuss here.

The Venusians, who appeared in the 6th generation, are not only a brand new alien force, but also have a hierarchical food chain relationship with the Martians, meaning that the Venusians hunt Martians for food.

It can be said that there is no simpler and more direct food chain relationship than this. For Martians, Venusians are their absolute natural enemies!
When Cheng Tian brought up the existence of the "Venusians," the completion mechanism of the Chosen Space began to operate at high speed, linking the Venusians, who had not yet shown any signs, with the existing Martian forces, and carrying out a series of reasonable background completions and relationship planning.

The Martians did not stay on Mars but fled to Earth because they were subjected to a powerful invasion by the Venusians, which led to the destruction of their home. In the end, only the Root of Mars led a portion of its people to successfully escape Mars in a mothership and ultimately chose Earth as their new home.

However, although Martians have an overwhelming technological advantage over Earthlings in areas such as space travel, it does not mean that they can completely crush humanity. Humans, currently in a state of civil war, may not have been able to develop more space travel technologies, but they are making rapid progress in terms of mutually destructive firepower.

Humans are truly gifted at self-destruction; many technological breakthroughs have occurred during wars.

The humans' performance also intimidated the Martians to some extent; their already weak bodies were no match for such a powerful weapon.

So after the Roots of Mars failed in their first attempt to forcibly seize the fruits of the Modern Army's victory and were ultimately destroyed by a plane, they changed their thinking, shifting from overt to covert operations, and began to do things secretly, mainly along two routes.

One plan is to infiltrate and strengthen the Modern Army, enabling it to eliminate the human government forces and become the only warlord organization on Earth, ultimately allowing Martian forces to indirectly occupy Earth.

The other one is the combination of the Eye of Moro and the Ten Commandments of Moro that Cheng Tian destroyed in his first main mission. More accurately, it is the zombie radiation brought by the Ten Commandments of Moro that only works on humans on Earth!
Since they cannot directly confront humanity's destructive weapons, let humanity destroy itself in a civil war, ultimately becoming cannon fodder puppets that the Martians can use.

Only after achieving any one of these goals and possessing the power to mobilize the resources of an entire planet will the Roots of Mars dare to proceed to the next step.

To reproduce.

Martians with mushroom-like characteristics actually have a great advantage in the reproduction of their race. Even if nothing is done, as long as the Martian's bodily fluids are casually sprinkled into the soil, and a suitable temperature and moisture are provided, new Martians will quickly grow from mushroom spores into new individuals.

Their reproduction method is indeed similar to that of the green-skinned ones.

Over the past two years, the Martian population has suffered some losses, but it has remained relatively stable, and they have not opted to engage in large-scale breeding early on.

The reason still lies with the Venusians.

The Root of Mars has limited mental strength and can only shield a fixed number of race units. Once the Root of Mars dies, or the number of race units exceeds the limit of the number that can be mentally shielded, it will be discovered by the Venusians who are feasting on Mars and will come directly by following the scent!

In fact, Metal Slug 6 directly picks up where Metal Slug 3 left off. In the timeline of Metal Slug 6, the Root of Mars has been destroyed by the Peregrine Falcon and the Sparrow. Without the protection of the Root of Mars, the Venusians become aware of the remaining Martians and track them down to Earth. They begin a full-scale hunt for the remaining Martian population—those who haven't all died but lack the power to become new leaders—and incidentally, they begin parasitizing and infecting Earthlings. Cheng Tian's mention of the Venusians' actions here is akin to pulling a knife from the Root of Mars and then stabbing it back into the exact same wound.

It hurts! It hurts so much! My body and mind are both in pain!

The brain suddenly felt even more pain in the Martian root, whose grayish-brown, even slightly greenish skin visibly turned... well, cyan?
Are you also a shrew?
Cheng Tian had indeed never seen a Martian get angry. After all, almost all the individuals he had seen so far died before they could even get angry. Perhaps the Martian's "blue hand" was similar in nature to the Earthling's "red heat".

The next second, on the outside of the glass dome above the Root of Mars' head, near its brain, a sphere mixed with mental power and highly condensed energy rapidly grew larger and shot directly toward Cheng Tian's location!
"Everyone scatter! The enemy's fatal weakness is the shield overhead! It's basically useless anywhere else!"

As Cheng Tian shouted, he constructed an AT field on Roller Gori's chest... a mental barrier.

The energy ball formed by mobilizing the entire mothership's energy transmission has extremely high destructive power and is extremely difficult to be neutralized by other flying objects. It also has the characteristic of continuously causing damage upon contact. This means that if Cheng Tian dares to use the protective barrier to resist the energy ball, he may exhaust all his mana in one move!

So Cheng Tian only used the fixed mana cost of the Mind Barrier to resist for a moment, and then activated the "Mirror Reflection" effect of the Orochi Soul.

By incurring additional MP costs, a 100% chance to reflect projectiles can be cast.

As the necklace glowed, the Heart Barrier suddenly revealed a mirror so smooth that it could directly reflect the massive forehead of the Root of Mars. The energy sphere mirrored within it then directly emerged from the mirror and collided with the main body!
Cheng Tian's MP dropped by almost 200 points.

But almost seamlessly, Cheng Tian, ​​who had already started planning while throwing out trash talk, saw his blue bar drop by another 250 points.

Suddenly, the 10 green-skinned Steves located on the outskirts of the Roots of Mars stood at attention, and then the green skin on 5 of the Steves quickly turned into blue skin.

Their abdominal cavities writhed and their bodily fluids churned. Finally, their mouths opened wide enough to dislocate their joints, and they all pointed at the former boss beside them!

Anyone who has played and completed the third installment knows that characters abducted by Martians appear before the player as numerous clones. After the player successfully rescues their companions, these surviving clones will dissolve and destroy themselves, but will also rise again like zombies, possessing the most powerful offensive abilities of zombies—

High pressure! A column of blood!
At the time, Cheng Tian didn't understand why this phenomenon occurred, but after the Ten Commandments incident, he understood that these radiation viruses that could turn people into zombies were created by the Martians.

Cheng Tian's "Dominator" skill, which shares the same origin, has an even greater control over zombies than over living people!

Five jets of emerald green, high-pressure blood gushed from the mouths of five clones who had been affected by the "Dominator" and whose bodies had been forcibly activated to receive the radiation from the zombie virus. They mercilessly slammed into the most vulnerable brain shield of the Root of Mars!
