Midnight bell?

Didn't I set this thing to do-not-disturb mode?

Three question marks appeared on Ivan's forehead. He raised his right hand in a daze, looked at the caller ID on the watch screen, and found that the identity information of the other party was actually Special Commissioner Danny—this guy seemed to be the spokesperson of the Consul. The superior's order does have the privilege of ignoring the do-not-disturb mode and forcibly communicating with himself.

In order to avoid trouble, he let Tachibana hide in the bathroom first, and then clicked the accept button——accompanied by the spinning blue brilliance, a three-dimensional hologram appeared in front of him.

Commissioner Danny sat in front of a retro fireplace, lit a cigar in his hand, took a deep breath and leaned on the high-back sofa, and slowly exhaled a blue smoke after a long time.His pupils reflected the fire, as if they were burning sapphires, and the majesty brought about by the power arose from him, which made people feel out of reach.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, His Majesty Ivan."

He took a sip of his cigar, breathed out a puff of smoke, and a proud smile appeared on his face: "First of all, congratulations on your great achievements in the King of Fighters competition, and about tomorrow's final, Your Excellency the Consul has a word Let me convey it to you."

"Please tell me." Ivan responded calmly.

"You must also know that this King of Fighters Contest is held by the Federation alone, and it has achieved unexpected ratings. In the situation of fighting at home, if one of your own can't win the championship, the public will definitely be very disappointed. And this change of term In the election, His Excellency also hopes that the King of Fighters himself can join his party camp to increase the influence of the election."

Commissioner Danny put the cigar aside, leaned closer to the display screen, and exhaled a smoke ring with a solemn expression: "So, this person must be a federal citizen, I think...you should know how to do it, right?

"Of course, I will lose to No. [-]." Ivan readily agreed, and then put forward the conditions logically: "In exchange, I also have a trivial request, and I hope you can help me."

"Tell me." The commissioner nodded slightly and leaned back on the high-back sofa.

"Do you still remember the bankrupt Hyperion Development Consortium? I asked a friend to spend a lot of money to buy it, but due to identity issues, the equity transfer procedures are relatively cumbersome, so I hope you can speed up the process a little bit." He Bin Said politely.

"Just that request?" Danny raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"of course."

"I promise you."

Mr. Special Commissioner took back the cigar, did not rush to smoke, but took a light sniff: "The formalities will be approved tonight, remember your promise, otherwise you should be able to imagine what will happen to you. Also, things Don't be too fake, lose to No. [-] after a hard fight."

"..."

After saying this, he unilaterally cut off the communication, leaving Ivan alone looking at the screen of the watch in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, Yiwen lowered his wrist with a cloudy expression, turned around and looked at the three bright moons in the night sky through the curtains, and sighed softly: "It's really helpless that the majestic interstellar overlord can't even tolerate a foreign king of fighters... ...With this amount of strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit on the throne of the overlord. Qi, gas, the gas of the Kashni Federation, I'm afraid it's coming to an end."

one-one-one-one

Squeak - la -!

The fine gold gate engraved with the pattern of two fists clashing opened slowly in front of No. [-], and the blood-red platform immediately occupied his entire sight.His expression was slightly ecstatic, and then quickly fell silent, his eyes became as sharp as a blade, firmer than steel, and then he strode into the legendary battlefield of hot sand.

"Victory~! Victory~!"

"Victory~! Victory~!"

"Victory~! Victory~!"

The shouts of the audience were refracted by the inner wall of the arena, as if coming from a distant place, and spun around him rapidly.

From the perspective of Number Zero at this time, the arena is like a rough sea, and the arena platform is the center of chaos.All the sounds and turmoil are concentrated here, the shouts of the audience are deafening, and the mixed smell of metal and death fills the nostrils.Even the red sandy ground beneath his feet was slowly flowing, looking like a pool of thick blood.

But all of these were left behind by Number Zero—it was not the restlessness around him that took away his gaze and thinking, but the unbelievable scene in front of him.

The originally empty and indifferent arena suddenly changed its shape in an instant, and countless figures of myself galloped past, each of them using a completely different style of fighting techniques, devoting themselves to selfless battles.In front of countless selves, there are also countless opponents. Among them are fully armed marine tribes, demon tribes with tyrannical eyes, arrogant and conceited dragon tribes, rock-steady Titans, and invisible tribes whose bodies are completely composed of elements.

In the fierce battle, people fell every second, both their own and their enemies, but more of them and their enemies were pouring into this land.They fought on various terrains, such as the sky, ocean, swamp, jungle, mountain peak, and even outer space... During this process, the experience of countless battles flooded into Zero's mind like a rushing ocean current, making No. He had a splitting headache.

"Victory~! Victory~!"

The shouts of the audience came from the auditorium in all directions, and the scenery in front of them quickly returned to normal.

"Phantom, phantom?" Zero opened his eyes and muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.

Soon, he knew that the battles he had just seen were not just fantasies, because the countless battle experiences had been completely integrated into the depths of his flesh and blood—to be precise, it should be that the memory at the genetic level was activated and he almost had a A feeling of rebirth.

For thousands of years, the combat experience sealed deep in the genes is gradually awakening through the body of number zero after being strongly stimulated by the outside world.The skills and inheritance displayed in his mind by the awakened combat knowledge, the strength of punching, the frequency of breathing, the change of steps, and the power that drives these movements, none of the details have been missed.

In the process of striding forward, Zero sorted out his chaotic thoughts, feeling the vast fighting experience in his mind, and his whole body trembled with excitement.He couldn't help but want to howl loudly, at this moment, the fine gold door directly opposite suddenly opened, and an unforgettable figure walked out, which also awakened him from the extreme excitement.

"Are you ready? Don't let me down this time." Ivan was opposite him, but Zero felt that the voice came from a very far away place.

"This time, I will definitely defeat you!" Number Zero looked at him with his head held high and said confidently.

The next moment, the ringing bell interrupted the conversation between the two—the final of the King of Fighters Contest, the much-anticipated final battle began!

Everything around them also settled down. The audience on the viewing platform no longer shouted, but stared at the battlefield with bated breath, for fear of missing any details.

one-one-one-one

"I've been waiting for this day."

Number Zero exhaled and made a sound, clenched his hands into fists, tucked them at his waist one after the other, and spread his legs slightly apart.During this process, the muscles all over his body swelled up like inflated air, the muscles and bones shifted, the veins knotted, and the muscles twisted and entangled with layers of thick veins, suddenly protruding outward like an armor outline.The crimson high-temperature energy on the surface of his body was like a volcanic eruption, exuding devastating fluctuations, expanding and vibrating from his body circle after circle.

"I must knock you down!"

He bowed his body and took half a step backwards. Suddenly, at this moment, he rushed towards the opponent's figure with a punch.

Whoosh-!

This punch instantly extended into a dazzling red line, and the front part of the line suddenly forked, and immediately hundreds of crimson fist shadows pierced the air.Make it show folds like ripples, and with a deafening long cry, rush forward like mountains and seas.

"..."

Just when the dense fist shadows were about to overwhelm him, Yiwen finally moved, stepped forward, swung forward, and swung a precise straight punch forward.

In the next instant, a gully hundreds of meters long appeared in the center of the arena without warning.At the edge of the competition platform, the originally transparent defensive force field suddenly flashed a dazzling light, and then, the deafening collision sound penetrated people's eardrums, and the red sand ejected from the surface formed a magnificent waterfall in mid-air, covering all the audience Sight.

The normal Dragon Slaying Fist does not mean that he can use the Dragon Slaying Fist at any time, but that every punch he has now has the power of the Dragon Slaying Fist.To put it simply, he has completely integrated the essence of Whirlwind Slashing Iron Fist and Flowing Water and Rock Breaking Fist, capable of instant cutting and shocking dual strength - every flat A is equivalent to the power of the previous stored power.

one-one-one-one

Through the flying sand and gravel, Zero walked forward unscathed, looking like a burning fuse from a distance.His eyes were calm and full of fighting spirit, and he flew over a hundred meters away to Yiwen in an instant.

When he was less than ten meters away from the target, pupil zero suddenly emitted a needle-like cold light, and his upper body leaned forward to sprint.Like a burning locomotive, it galloped towards Ivan, and the red gravel rose high behind him.

And on both sides of his body, a series of scarlet phantoms kept changing positions, bringing his main body to flicker at the same time - the next moment, dozens of scarlet figures suddenly leaped out, galloping on the arena to form a circle , heading towards Ivan to encircle.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

In an instant, dozens of zeros rushed towards the opponent at the same time, and whirlwinds burst into the center of the enveloping net one after another.Waves of overwhelming energy storms roared out, accompanied by completely different attacking stances of scarlet figures.The loud noise shook the entire arena, and the hurricane rolled up countless sand and gravel, and opened a deep gully on the ground.

boom--!

Amidst the dense explosions, the crimson flames quickly gathered to form a huge flame tornado, dragging out spiral scorched black traces, continuously shrinking and condensing energy.Inside the flame tornado, the afterimages of No. [-] became faster and faster, enveloping the opponent like an impenetrable rain curtain.
