Chapter 629: The Army of the Dead
As a Captain America clone that was not settled within Cheng Tian's body, Clone Steve's special ability, 'Fifty-Fifty', had a very peculiar effect description.
Under the influence of this ability, as long as it was a data confrontation related to the final judgment, when settling, regardless of the attributes or probabilities of both sides, it would be forcibly settled at 50%. Even legendary status would not affect it.
It was also with this ability, which had not manifested in Cheng Tian from his native template, that Captain America was able to face numerous cosmic-level enemies with the body of a peak mortal.
Everyone is fifty-fifty, fighting is like flipping a coin, heads or tails, who's afraid of who!?
It was also due to this judgment characteristic that, among the maximum of 10 Steve clones available to the Dominator, exactly half were controlled by Cheng Tian. Cheng Tian immediately used his mental control ability, derived from the Ten Commandments of Mara, to forcibly catalyze and activate the living corpse virus within their bodies, instantly turning them into living corpse Captain America clones.
The Root of Mars, its kin, and the clones catalyzed by the kin's bodily fluids, had a connection similar to that of a host terminal and a branch terminal. However, its positioning was actually closer to the 'brain bug' of a swarm, acting as a central information transmission tower. The kin at the terminals were also individuals with independent thoughts, not swarm units that followed every command.
However, compared to ordinary Martians, clones with only 1 point in mental attributes were pure puppet-like figures with strong physical instincts. They required direct control by the Root of Mars or the control to be delegated to its kin.
After Cheng Tian exposed the Martians as merely a group of refugees fleeing natural predators, the enraged Root of Mars focused all its attention, which was originally dispersed throughout the entire mothership, onto Cheng Tian. This gave Cheng Tian the opportunity to seize control of Steve.
Cheng Tian had no intention of holding back and directly chose to drain all the health from these 5 Steve clones!
As a powerful move that players could access at a very early stage, High-Pressure Blood Column was a very rare ability with extremely strong instant-kill power. Even scene BOSSes could be dealt with by just a few sprays.
Of course, the cost was also very high. The final damage it could inflict was directly linked to one's own health. If one wanted to maximize the damage, one had to bear the consequence of potentially being instantly killed.
However, the actual effect of the same move differed between players and monsters, mainly due to the difference in strength-to-health ratio between players and monsters.
Monsters usually had a much higher strength-to-health ratio than players. Any random boss-level elite would have a higher ratio than many players who had just completed their extreme breakthrough quests.
On players, the damage of High-Pressure Blood Column was the current HP consumed * 5, but when used against other players, the damage coefficient became 0.2, which was equivalent to the HP consumed.
And on these Clone Steves, it was simply that whatever HP was consumed caused that much damage.
Clone Steve's health was 2450. Theoretically, a single spray of blood could cause up to 2449 points of damage, which was enough to instantly kill most players, including Cheng, who hadn't had time to activate his shield.
But in actual application, this move was very difficult to truly hit anyone.
High-Pressure Blood Column had a relatively obvious wind-up before release, which involved abdominal peristalsis and churning. Moreover, living corpse transformation led to a sharp drop in agility, causing delays in turning and aiming.
At the current tier of players, there shouldn't be many who have excessively extreme stat distributions. Coupled with the permanent bonuses provided by bloodline changes and profession acquisition, everyone's agility attribute wouldn't be too bad, maintaining around 20 points shouldn't be a big problem.
Therefore, this explosively damaging High-Pressure Blood Column could usually only bully stationary targets that couldn't move freely... for example, the Root of Mars in its mothership core form.
A psychic shield hummed into existence on the Root of Mars's surface, blocking the 5 High-Pressure Blood Columns sweeping up from below, but it failed to protect the glass cover over its brain flower.
As the main energy output point of its entire body, when the brain flower was accumulating energy spheres, the psychic shield could not be simultaneously released. Cheng Tian timed it perfectly, hitting right as the opponent was releasing an energy sphere.
In an instant, the Root of Mars's health bar plummeted from 50,000 points to 37,755 points!
In just one encounter, nearly 25% of the Root's total health was wiped out!
But almost at the same time, the other uncontrolled clones, who were dispersed to protect the Root, also took action, with shields or gun actions, all aimed at the 5 critically wounded living corpse clones.
Already drained by Cheng Tian to only 1 HP remaining, the four shriveled living corpse captains instantly disintegrated as if their genetic chains had collapsed, turning into a pile of dry corpse fragments.
However, one remained, perhaps due to the recoil from spraying blood, stumbling and falling to the ground, very fortunately dodging a shield bash that would have taken its head off... But without further action, it would also die instantly from hitting its head on the metal floor.
Just as this last remaining living corpse clone was about to fall to its death, Cheng Tian's glabella lit up again, and a stream of mental energy was injected from a distance into the living corpse clone's shriveled body, causing it to involuntarily curl into a ball.
Subsequently, an inexplicable wave of power radiated outwards from its center.
The Steve clones, originally under the Root of Mars's control, all stood at attention. Without the interference of Cheng Tian's Dominator skill, their green skin instantly turned the same bluish color as the living corpses.
However, they were neither controlled by Cheng Tian nor by the Root of Mars. Instead, they all converged towards the living corpse curled into a ball, one after another, forming a cluster.
Not only these forcibly living corpse-ified clones, but also the bodies of the Modern Army scattered in the previous corridor rooms, and some recently deceased Martian bodies and skeletons that hadn't yet decomposed into nutrients, were pulled as if by a specific black hole, surging towards the living corpse cluster, and the speed of convergence became faster and faster.
Until, under the cover of Cheng's additional psychic barrier, it transformed into a sizable floating corpse sphere, suspended in mid-air, entirely composed of humans, Martians, and clones!
