Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 629 Legion of the Dead
As the Captain America clone that failed to be resolved within Cheng Tian's body, the clone Steve possesses the special ability "50/50," which has a very peculiar effect.

With this ability, any data-related confrontation involving the final judgment will be settled with a 50% chance of success, regardless of the relative strengths or probabilities of the two sides. Even legendary status will not be affected.

It was precisely because of this ability, which was not reflected in Cheng Tian in the original template, that Captain America was able to face many cosmic-level enemies with his peak mortal body.

It's a 50/50 situation. Fighting is like flipping a coin; it'll either heads or tails. Who's afraid of who?
It was also because of this judgment characteristic that, out of the maximum number of 10 Steve clones that the Overlord could control, exactly half of them were controlled by Cheng Tian. They were immediately catalyzed and activated by Cheng Tian's mental control ability derived from the Ten Commandments of Moro, turning them into zombie Captain America clones on the spot.

The connection between the Martian Root and its own people, as well as the clones catalyzed by the bodily fluids of its people, is like that between a main terminal and a secondary terminal. However, its role is actually closer to that of the "cerebrates" of the swarm, belonging to the central information transmission tower, while the people at the end are all individuals with independent thinking, rather than swarm units that obey orders without question.

However, compared to ordinary Martians, clones with only 1 point of mental attribute are pure puppets with strong physical instincts, requiring the Martian Root to control them personally, or to delegate control to their people.

After Cheng Tian exposed that the Martians were just a group of refugees fleeing their natural enemies, the enraged Martian Root focused all its attention, which was originally scattered throughout the mothership, on Cheng Tian. This gave Cheng Tian the opportunity to seize control of Steve.

Cheng Tian didn't intend to hold back either, and instead chose to drain all the blood from these 5 Steve clones!
As a move that players can encounter very early on, the High Pressure Blood Column is a rare and extremely powerful attack with the ability to instantly kill. Even level bosses can be defeated with just a few more hits.

Of course, the cost is also very high. The final damage it can cause is directly linked to its own health. If you want to maximize the damage, you must be prepared to be instantly killed.

However, the same move has different effects on players and monsters, mainly due to the difference in strength and health between them.

Monsters usually have much higher strength and health than players. A single boss or elite monster can have more than many players who have just completed a breakthrough quest.

When used on a player, the damage from the high-pressure blood jet is equal to 5 times the current HP consumed. However, when used on other players, the damage coefficient becomes 0.2, which is equivalent to the damage equal to the HP consumed.

When Steve is cloned, the damage is directly proportional to the amount of HP consumed.

The clone Steve has 2450 health points. Theoretically, if he spews out a mouthful of blood, it can deal up to 2449 damage, which is enough to kill most players, including Cheng, who didn't have time to activate his shield.

However, in practice, this move is actually very difficult to land a real hit.

Before the release of the high-pressure blood column, there is a relatively obvious pre-release wind, namely the abdominal cavity churning and surging. Then, the zombie transformation will cause a sharp drop in agility, resulting in delays in actions such as turning and aiming.

At this level, there shouldn't be many players who have overly maximized their stat points. In addition, with the permanent bonuses provided by bloodline changes and class acquisition, everyone's agility attribute shouldn't be too bad, and maintaining 20 points shouldn't be a big problem.

Therefore, these high-pressure blood pillars that explode with damage can usually only bully stationary targets that can't move around freely... such as the Root of Mars in the core form of the mothership. A mental shield suddenly appeared on the surface of the Root of Mars, blocking the five high-pressure blood pillars that swept from bottom to top, but it couldn't protect the glass dome on its brain.

As the main energy outlet of the entire body, when the brain flower is accumulating energy balls, the mental shield cannot be released simultaneously. Cheng Tian timed it very precisely, just as the opponent was releasing the energy balls.

In an instant, the health bar above Mars's Root plummeted, dropping from 5 points to 37755 points!
In just one exchange, Gen's overall health was reduced by nearly 25%!

But at almost the same time, the other uncontrolled clones that were protecting Gen also took action, using shields or guns to target the five low-health undead clones.

The four zombie captains, who had already been drained of their HP by Cheng Tian and were emaciated, immediately decomposed themselves as if their genetic chains had collapsed, turning into a pile of dry, shriveled corpse fragments.

But the only remaining possibility was the reaction force from the spurting blood. It stumbled and fell to the ground, luckily dodging a shield strike that could have chopped off its head... But without further action, it would have died instantly from hitting the metal floor with the back of its head.

Just as the last remaining zombie clone was about to fall and kill itself, Cheng Tian's brow lit up again. A stream of spiritual energy was injected into the zombie clone's shriveled body from a distance, causing it to involuntarily shrink into a ball.

Then, a strange power fluctuation spread outwards in all directions from its center.

The Steve clones, who were originally under the control of the Martian Root, immediately stood at attention. Without Cheng Tian's Dominator skills interfering, their green skin turned into the same cyan color as the zombies.

However, they were not controlled by Cheng Tian, ​​nor by the Root of Mars. Instead, they all moved towards the living corpse that was curled up into a ball, one after another, and huddled together.

Not only the clones that were forcibly turned into zombies, but also the Modern Army corpses scattered in the previous passage room, as well as some Martian corpses and skeletons that had just died and had not yet decomposed into nutrients, were all being drawn towards the place where the zombies were clustered together, as if they were being pulled by a specific black hole. Moreover, the speed at which they were gathering was getting faster and faster.

Until, under the extra mental barrier of Cheng, it turned into a fairly large floating corpse sphere suspended in mid-air, composed entirely of humans, Martians, and clones!
