Chapter 567: I'm Going to Correct an Adult Like You!
Yes, that's right. Although Cheng's bare attributes for Strength and Agility were only 26 and 24 points respectively, with the boost from a stack of attribute-enhancing equipment and his own talents, Cheng Tian has now reached a state where his Strength and Agility are approaching their limits, his Charm has reached its limit, and his Spirit has broken through its limit.
This is still during the day. If it were nighttime, Cheng Tian's Strength and Agility could still see a slight increase.
Qiuqiu's state is actually quite peculiar.
If she were a pure Orochi gene clone, then at the moment of her birth, Qiuqiu would acquire powerful strength and potential comparable to the Orochi Main unit, and would not even be restricted by attribute limits.
But the price is that Qiuqiu's body would enter a state of rapid decay. The stronger the power she used, the faster the decay, and this was also one of the fates faced by the original Orochi clone, "Mizuchi," in "NeoGeo Battle Coliseum."
However, the current Qiuqiu is a mix of gene fragments from Cheng Tian's multiple identities as a human, vampire, and Heaven's Chosen Player. Despite incorporating more X-factors, Qiuqiu's genes have stabilized. Even with this almost 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow' cultivation speed, she won't end up dying from accelerated heart failure.
However, correspondingly, Qiuqiu's overall attributes have been suppressed to a mortal specification, meaning a non-limit-breaking state.
Want to break through? Yes, two methods.
One is to completely abandon her identity as a Heaven's Chosen Player clone, discard her humanity, embrace the dungeon, deeply bind herself to the dungeon, and completely transform into a monster BOSS unit. She can then break through restrictions with the blessing of local advantage.
The other is to follow the Heaven's Chosen Space employee route, retain her humanity, and accept Heaven's Chosen Space trial missions of the same specification as players to break through. She can be directly regarded as half a Heaven's Chosen Player.
In other words, although the current Qiuqiu can temporarily trade blows with The World using Star Platinum, that's only because Cheng Tian is holding back significantly.
Don't be fooled by Star Platinum's ability to resist The World's time stop by consuming magic power. But if The World landed a punch with 'Data Tampering,' then whether Star Platinum could maintain its time stop potential would directly become a question mark.
If Stands are not discussed, and only raw physical strength is considered, then she really couldn't touch Cheng Tian.
So when the others arrived one after another, guided by the metal dinosaur, they saw Star Platinum and The World locked in a finger-intertwined arm-wrestling match in mid-air, while Cheng Tian was treating Qiuqiu in a manner reminiscent of Hulk smashing Loki.
With dust flying, many new craters had appeared around Cheng Tian.
"Do you submit?! Do you submit?!"
"No! Never!"
Cheng Tian was strong, but Qiuqiu was stubborn. After repeated slams, the clone, who had already spit out a good amount of nutrient fluid from her stomach, simply refused to give up. It was clear who she took after.
Let's put it this way: at this point, eating the black mud was no longer absolutely necessary, but defying Cheng Tian himself had clearly surpassed eating the black mud to become Qiuqiu's primary goal.
What a stubborn and unlovable brat!
Presumably noticing the approach of the others, Cheng Tian couldn't help but be slightly distracted. Qiuqiu, who had been holding back a surge of energy, suddenly performed a movement similar to a "sit-up," straightened her upper body, and fiercely punched Cheng Tian!
"An adult like you! I will correct you!!!"
Perhaps due to the severe beating she received, Qiuqiu, whose human essence was clearly starting to overpower her divine essence, finally revealed her angry side.
Cheng Tian, who took a direct punch to his handsome face from the clone, flew a short distance, his body slightly airborne.
"...This is youth, isn't it~"
While Cheng muttered to himself after being punched away, his right hand also made a sword-finger-raising gesture, like Nappa destroying a city.
With a whoosh, a spherical purple-black barrier immediately enveloped Qiuqiu completely—
Heart's Barrier Binding Barrier.
Of course, this was not just an ordinary binding barrier, but one enhanced by Cheng Tian, capable of interfering with spatial teleportation to a certain extent. This was the free ability expansion brought about by the Mental Power Combat Method.
Qiuqiu inside could still forcibly teleport out, but she would also have to bear the uncertain tearing risk brought by spatial fragmentation.
It's possible that the person would be transferred out, but parts of her would be left in the spatial tunnel.
Of course, she could also use the 'Recall and Manifest' method to put Star Platinum into the barrier and physically destroy the barrier from the inside, but the result of doing so would only be another round of beating from Cheng Tian, which was not very meaningful.
"Just stay in there obediently~"
Cheng Tian tapped the barrier shell, receiving only a very human-like double middle finger in response from the dirty, body-painted Qiuqiu.
Who did this unlucky girl learn that from!
The bad father, who provided no positive role model whatsoever, looked troubled.
Just like that, like a moving hamster ball, Cheng Tian pushed the binding barrier and Qiuqiu inside it back to the laboratory. The two outsiders, who had witnessed the clone's rampage and the entire handling process, had already fallen into a silence caused by excessive shock.
Originally, both Aoko and Ciel harbored varying degrees of suspicion and vigilance towards Cheng Tian. Doing a good job of superficial pleasantries and maintaining constant vigilance were not contradictory.
But after this experience, they had realized the uniqueness of Cheng Tian and his laboratory.
The credibility of the news that the Holy Grail had been contaminated and cursed had suddenly increased significantly for them.
At the same time, they both agreed that if every homunculus (they assumed Qiuqiu was a homunculus) created by Cheng Tian was of this caliber, then wouldn't the Clock Tower have to give him the same "Designated Sealing" title as Aoko and then relentlessly pursue him?
"I've made you witness a spectacle."
"No, this is a rare and wonderful sight."
Facing Cheng Tian's apology, Aoko, whether it was her true body or a puppet, flicked cigarette ash onto the ground, looking full of interest.
Homunculi and her puppets indeed belonged to different fields, but by analogy, both were methods attempting to touch the forbidden zone of life. More or less, there would be some possibilities for mutual learning.
Qiuqiu's existence also made her look forward to the existence of the Bio-Mechanical Dolls even more.
As for Ciel, she had already marked Cheng Tian and the entire laboratory as "key observation targets," which was a two-way meaning.
While such an organization possessed advanced technology, it was also inevitably a high-risk area for troublesome incidents, as seen before.
And not long after Cheng Tian temporarily quelled Qiuqiu's 'Old Eight' crisis, Kirei Kotomine, who had faked his death and hidden himself, appeared at the foot of Mount Enzou.
