Chapter 513: Do You Like My Time-Stopping Heavenly Transport?
As the perfect vessel for Orochi, Chris's overall attributes were very high, with almost no weaknesses.
Furthermore, when King of Fighters combat units activate their fighting aura and mental energy, they receive a basic physical enhancement buff. Normally, even taking a hit from a helicopter propeller would at most cause severe injuries, not a cruel scene comparable to being cut in half at the waist.
But the problem was that Chris was in a state of backlash from a bloodline conflict, his body's defense was at an all-time low. He had also just taken a high-pressure blood blast, further lowering his overall health. And the Helion transforming helicopter that Cheng Tian was piloting was a legitimate high-grade combat vehicle.
Cheng Tian was very decisive. With the Helion's weapons completely sealed, he chose to use the vehicle itself as his greatest weapon, turning it into a Heavenly Transport in the air.
During the Time Stop, the Hakkesshu stopped, but the Helion did not. This meant the Hakkesshu were frozen in place, giving Cheng Tian 4 seconds of pursuit time, which was enough for Cheng Tian, at maximum flight speed, to cover nearly 500 meters.
In a flash, Cheng Tian chose Chris, who looked to be in a bad state, as his target.
Not only that, at the moment the propeller was about to slice into his waist, Cheng Tian also very precisely added a 'Mental Command Analysis'.
This mental command would temporarily reduce Cheng Tian's mental attribute by 15 points, then slowly restore it at a rate of 5 points per hour. The additional effect was that the damage coefficient of the next attack on the enemy would increase to 1.1, while the damage coefficient of the enemy's next attack on himself would decrease to 0.9.
Here comes the most crucial part.
In a Time Stop state, as long as the target is not a user of Time Stop, all damage sustained during the Time Stop period will be stacked and unleashed in a concentrated burst the moment Time Stop ends. In terms of attack judgment, the number of combos delivered by the Helion's propeller all received a 1.1x final attack coefficient the moment Time Stop ended.
Chris's slender waist, which appeared to be severed with just one hit, had actually endured 16 consecutive 1.1x propeller cutting blows!
Of course, while the high-speed rotating propeller sliced Chris in half, the propeller itself also suffered irreversible damage. A crash was unavoidable. Cheng Tian in the cockpit, along with Kyo Kusanagi, who was hanging on the mechanical leg with a stunned expression, and Chris, whose consciousness had not yet completely disconnected, all began to freefall.
But it was all worth it.
Chris's health bar was cleared, and his eyes were devoid of any light.
[You have killed Chris of the Flame of Fate (1/1). The damage reduction against all types of attacks from "Heavenly Kings / Orochi Blood" units for you and your team units has increased to 20% and is included in the final damage calculation stage, effective immediately.]
[You have eliminated Orochi's perfect vessel. The strength of the future resurrected Orochi will sharply decrease. Its overall attribute status will retreat from the original "Limit Break Mode" to "Non-Extreme Break Mode". The cumulative reduction in overall health is 55% (Shermie 5%, Chris 50%).]
Unexpected, yet within reason.
Gao Nicole's concerns were correct; Cheng, this human gashapon, indeed had a far greater understanding of the entire Hakkesshu group than she had imagined.
And precisely because of his deep understanding, he chose the correct step at every stage.
Chris's death only signified the non-existence of the most perfect Orochi vessel, not that Orochi could no longer descend. However, the sharp drop in strength caused by losing the most perfect vessel was evident.
Not only was the overall health at least halved, but attributes also rolled back from the original Limit Break state, meaning multiple attributes exceeding the 50-point barrier, to within 50 points. Although there might still be some manipulation of strength-to-health or spirit-to-mana ratios, he was forcibly pulled back to the same starting line, no longer an almost unbeatable existence.
With a flash of light, the severely damaged Helion with its propeller was forcibly recalled to the void garage. A Ghost Gauntlet appeared on Cheng Tian's right arm, which was already actively accelerating its descent, sweeping in the scattered soul fragments around him.
He was taking everything; not only did he kill the person, but he also had no intention of letting go of the soul!
As the Ghost Gauntlet operated, Chris's soul and the soul imprint of the Flame of Fate were smoothly separated.
The former split off a portion of soul fragments, entering Cheng's soul resource reserves as pure "Innocent Souls (Large)" and some "Red Soul" resources.
The latter, however, in the form of "Purple Souls" with the additional attribute of "Egregiously Evil," was stuffed into the Ghost Eye.
This was completely consistent with the deceased Shermie.
If one had to define this situation, it would probably fall under a unique form of soul purification.
The three members of the Hell Band, who were the contemporary Hakkesshu soul hosts, were actually just a group of young people who loved playing music. It was only with the awakening of their bloodline and the imprints etched deep within their souls that they ceased to be themselves.
Just like the two Qin brothers who were possessed by their ancestors and were not in control of themselves, the three young people were forced to become Orochi's puppets.
But after the Ghost Gauntlet's built-in function of splitting and categorizing soul fragments, Chris, controlled by Orochi, was truly liberated. At the same time, the Flame of Fate soul imprint, which could have normally entered reincarnation and awaited its next transmigration and possession, was directly captured and imprisoned.
In other words, as long as Cheng Tian didn't consume them as materials for his Ghost Warrior transformation, or Orochi himself didn't do something, then the Flame of Fate and the Raging Lightning would be indirectly sealed permanently... However, Chris's death also meant that Gao Nicole's self-seal was completely lifted.
What could a completely unburdened and rage-filled Crazed Storm do?
Storm! Rise!!!
Suspended in mid-air by the fierce winds, Crazed Storm was like a god descending, her face now only showing icy killing intent.
The thought of killing Cheng Tian now filled every crease of Gao Nicole's cerebral cortex.
But Cheng, whose mana bar was once again almost empty, didn't show much panic on his face.
On one hand, because he held two Command Spells and had Bazett on standby, he had the opportunity for a reverse teleportation and could escape at any time.
On the other hand... did this Gao Nicole really think that her enemies were only a few people?
From the moment she caused a natural disaster to attempt large-scale destruction, she had already become an enemy to those who harbored justice, or selfish desires, or chaos, or those who sought to fish in troubled waters!
"MAX! Energy Stream!"
"Haoh Shokoken!" * 4
"Shinso BEEEEEAM!" "Chaos BEAM!!!"
"Happo Ring Kill!"
"Destructive... Gale! Burst Shot!!!"
Attacks of different types and specifications, but with almost completely identical targets, flew from all directions simultaneously towards Crazed Storm, Gao Nicole!
