I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 267 Mutation
[Such a will...]

[Why did he disappear in the future?]

'Maxima', no, let's call him K' now, he quietly stood in front of the unconscious Rock Howard. Although the two of them had some disagreements, they were from the same timeline after all. If he was really killed or captured, he probably wouldn't be able to stay for long.

He also had to find out why Lin Xi, who was so powerful in 91, did not take up the banner of resisting the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, but instead wandered in the wasteland for a few years, earned the reputation of a walking natural disaster, allowed the Kingdom of Heaven to begin to spread in Japan, and disappeared silently from the earth after the Kingdom of Heaven entity was completely conceived in 97.

Having undergone multiple transformations, he needs Lin Xi to help adjust his body. In this timeline, he and his sister are still in the South Town Orphanage, and he has to plan the future of the two little ones. Maybe it would be a good idea to transform his body and stay in this timeline under an assumed name...

Anyway, he really didn't want to go back to that snow-like future. Except for some areas of China, Nanzhen, the Sky Noahs who fled all over the world, and the numerous underground bases of Yingluo and Yinchao, all humans in other areas were dead.

How many years can the invincible dragon that guards South Town live at the age of over a hundred? He doesn't believe that his body will be destroyed and his spirit will be integrated into the so-called heaven to gain eternal life.

Human beings in the future are on the verge of extinction. As a timeline that is bound to collapse sooner or later, it seriously affects the Earth consciousness's dominant position over humans. It is like a festering wound. As the timeline of the 'future', it is deeply bound to the influence of the 'past' timeline, causing everything to change towards the 'future'. If it cannot be reversed, the wound will spread, eventually leading to a chain reaction. Human beings in a large number of timelines will no longer be dominant, then for the Earth consciousness, humans will be destroyed.

Once the Earth's consciousness determines that 'human civilization is destroyed', humans in all timelines will converge, the timelines will merge, and humans will lose any possibility and move towards true destruction.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with K'. Even though Dr. Brown, who can travel through timelines at will in terms of science and technology, has explained all the pros and cons clearly, he has never considered changing history from the beginning. Anyway, it is unknown how many years it will take for mankind to be truly destroyed. He will talk about it when the tall man can't stand it anymore. Just now, if Rock Howard and the other two really wanted to win, he would help Lin Xi so that the original history would continue and they would not be excluded back to the original timeline.

What's more, even if humanity is destroyed, he doesn't care.

"K', you are K', right?" Lin Xi asked abruptly as he lowered his twisted arms. He had already had a great time as he exchanged punches with a peerless strong man from the future timeline. All his fighting spirit was squandered, and his clever brain occupied the high ground. By connecting the front and the back, he quickly determined the other party's true identity.

"?!"

K' looked at Lin Xi in surprise, his palm began to become illusory. He lowered his head suddenly, and the unconscious Locke's body began to emit a bright light.

"Rustle~" A sound came from the communication watch from the future.

"You succeeded!" Dr. Brown's voice was a little excited. "The timeline we are in is being erased. We will all be completely integrated into the current timeline and become... another possibility..."

"I never thought you could change history so easily..."

"Me and...Shashasha..."

The sudden accident completely disrupted all of K's plans. His face was full of shock. The confusion in his mind was corrected by his secondary brain. He remembered that in order to thank Lin Xi for her help, he guided Vanessa and her group out of a fatal situation. At the same time, the guess that Dr. Brown mentioned by chance came to his mind, and an astonishing guess appeared in his mind.

"Lin Xi, you are the cancer of this world!"

"I understand, I understand everything."

K' showed a look of realization, his body already half illusory, "Your existence is to the Earth's consciousness——"

"What is this?!" Dr. Brown shouted from the other end of the communicator, "Such a powerful magnetic interference, the Earth... the Earth is cracked..."

"Run! Locke, K', it's never the heavenly entities that destroy the world... Buzz~"

"Bang!" The communicator exploded.

K''s body gazed again at an even more alarming speed, but there was no joy on his face. The timeline in which he was born, transmitted through the time machine, was an endless void and darkness. They could not even make the worst choice, to integrate into the current timeline as a possibility. Their possibilities were completely destroyed in the Earth's consciousness, symbolizing a bad timeline of a certain possibility in the 'future', which was completely deleted.

The next second, he and Rock Howard were wiped out of existence in an instant, as if they had never lived in this world. After thinking everything through, he only left a self-deprecating sentence to prove that he really existed:
"It's ridiculous, but... okay."

Invisible forces rise from the interior of the earth, trying to erase all traces of "non-existent things". The destruction caused by Locke Howard disappears, the Nest Base destroyed by K' is restored, the killed people are resurrected, and all memories of their existence disappear out of thin air.

Except, Lin Xi.

"Crack~Crack~Crack~" The magnetic field that was gradually growing in his body was colliding with the invisible force that existed on the spiritual level.

"It hurts so much." He covered his forehead with his hands, his veins throbbing. For some unknown reason, the earth's magnetic field was frantically trying to invade his body. Even though he guessed the identity of the man from the future, he didn't know what was going on. He was just inexplicably scolded by the man from the future as having cancer, and then the man from the future disappeared like a riddle man.

Then the Earth's magnetic field began to riot, squeezing him in all directions. He should have suffered after his body could no longer withstand the ever-expanding magnetic field, but now he experienced it in advance.

[No, I can't just faint like this... I want to kill Keith Howard! ]

Lin Xi didn't know what would happen after he fell into a coma, but he only knew one thing: being unconscious on Gis's spaceship would surely not bring him any good.

He also doesn't want to COS Kyo Kusanagi who was captured by the Nest in The King of Fighters.

"Haaaa!" He roared, actively controlling the rotation of the magnetic field, rubbing out a huge magnetic force that temporarily isolated the influence of the earth's magnetic field, and punched the floor.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Along with a violent explosion, the rough and unrestrained magnetic force showed its extreme destructive power. A twisted light column with a diameter of more than three meters and surrounded by electric light directly penetrated the entire spacecraft from the top floor to the crowded New York City fighting arena below.

The beam of light that fell from the sky did not diminish at all, and a large number of spectators who were watching the protest against the lack of live broadcast signal turned into a bloody rain, and not even large pieces of flesh were left.

"Ahhhhhh!" After a brief silence, the entire arena began to panic, especially when they discovered that the huge nuclear-powered spaceship in the sky was gradually tilting, staggering and falling. The situation became even more out of control.

At this time, on the bottom floor of the spacecraft.

The four men who were originally fighting together, faced with the horrific attack coming from overhead, separated. Klauser stuck to the wall, breathing rapidly, his face pale, a huge bloody wound from his chest to his neck, the flesh and blood on the edges had turned white. In the battle with the brainwashed Ken, he was hit by an extremely terrifying Rising Dragon Fist and almost died on the spot. Fortunately, the Emperor Fist worked, and when he was hit, he forced out a super-killing instant kill storm and broke free from the subsequent combo, otherwise he would have been a corpse now.

Ken stood at the entrance of the cave and looked up, feeling the source of the terrifying aura. His dull mind after brainwashing was gradually awakened.

Terry knelt on one knee on the ground with a bruised face and nose, saliva mixed with blood continuously flowing out of his mouth, leaving a long stream of turbid, sticky liquid dripping onto the ground. However, he was too painful to care about anything else. As soon as the fight started, he was beaten into a brief shock by Ken. Fortunately, Klausar arrived in time, and after waking up, he continued to fight with Giss with his seriously injured body. Klausar on the other side was also struggling to hold on.

The two men were like grasshoppers on a rope. They gradually moved closer and joined hands in the battle. As the one with the most serious injuries and the weakest ability to exert, his injuries kept getting worse and now he was really at the end of his rope. If it weren't for the beam of light that fell from the sky giving him a chance to breathe, he would have fallen into a coma again.

Keith Howard stood in front of his seat in confusion. He was the one with the most emotional fluctuations. He didn't know what was going on upstairs. He was just beating up the weaklings down there. He was planning to control Sakazaki Ryo soon, and then take Sakazaki Ryo and Ken to attack Lin Xi who was resting upstairs.

Why did it suddenly become like this?
As for Ripper and Hopper... Ripper was right under the beam of light just now, and now there is probably not even a trace of him left. Hopper had been knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the fight between Ken and Krauser in the previous battle, and was lying dead in the corner peacefully.

"Whoosh~" the wind was howling, and air rushed in from the big hole in the floor, making everyone's clothes flutter.

"Bang!" The door of the power room was opened, and the man wearing glasses and a gray plaid shirt shouted in a loud voice: "Lord Gis, the magnetic confinement reactor has failed, the spaceship, the spaceship is about to fall!"

"what?!"

Keith Howard's face suddenly changed. This thing falling is different from a plane falling. Even if the magnetic confinement reactor fails, the nuclear fuel inside will not be extinguished. If it continues to burn, the high-temperature plasma released will be enough to turn most of New York City into a dead zone. Staying on the ship is tantamount to waiting to die.

What's more troublesome is that without energy support, the mental device will automatically shut down, which will not only interrupt Sakazaki Ryo's brainwashing, but also cause more trouble for Ken. Once this important fighting force that is enough to fight Lin Xi is out of control...

"Buzz~" The lights went out, and the originally bright spacecraft became dim, which meant that all energy supplies had been cut off, and the countdown to the spacecraft's fall and the leakage of high-temperature plasma in the reactor was in progress.

[No, I can’t hesitate! ]

"Cover me on the deck!" Gus Howard gave the order decisively. As for his loyal subordinate Hopper lying next to him, it didn't matter if he died. The most important thing was for him to survive. There was a breakaway cabin on the deck, which contained a supersonic automatic cruise aircraft. The position of Gusta in South Town had been set long ago. All he had to do was get on and pull the joystick.

Ken's reaction was very slow. It took him more than a second to turn his head. He followed Gis with an expressionless face and fled upstairs.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Terry sensed that his enemy was about to escape, so he gathered all the energy in his body, raised his hand and struck the ground three times in succession.

【Super Kill·Energy Fountain·MAX】

Three increasingly high gusts of air briefly blocked Gis's escape route, but were then shattered by Ken's whirlwind kick. However, the escape stairs leading to the upper floors were destroyed.

Everyone present, even the dead Hopper, had the ability to clear the passage if they had time, but -

The problem is time.

"Boom!"

Before Keith Howard could vent his anger and fear, a figure fell from the big hole in the ceiling, easily broke free from the suction of the strong wind on the floor, and landed on the field.

"Die." A low, hoarse voice sounded, and the figure flashed by.

"Bang!" Ken, who was standing in front of Gis, flew out on the spot, crashed through layers of walls, and flew into the distant sky.

In the dim light, the figure who had knocked Ken away with one move stood there with his face covered. It was Lin Xi. All the muscles in his body were constantly trembling, and his protruding blood vessels and muscles were beating under the pressure of an inexplicable force. Under the influence of the severe pain, it was obvious that he was about to lose consciousness.

"Gis...Howard...must die..." He repeated intermittently, so as not to forget in the pain.

Terry fell into a coma, and after the spaceship tilted, he and Hopper were attracted by the strong wind and slid towards the cave entrance. Krauser grabbed them both with one hand each. He looked at Lin Xi with fear, who seemed to be in extreme pain and unable to resist. The powerful intuition brought by practicing the Emperor Fist told him that if he dared to get close, he would be killed without mercy.

He was a knight, not an idiot. He would not risk his life in vain when it was impossible to save his brother Gis. He took a deep breath, tapped the ground with his toes, and jumped from the cave entrance to the second floor.

There are no ordinary people alive on the spacecraft at this time. The strong radiation has just spread. Ordinary people's bodies have no resistance to the radiation released by the magnetic confinement reactor that supports the huge spacecraft to sail at high altitudes for years. The constantly rising radiation can directly kill ordinary humans whose skin is exposed to the air within 20 seconds.

Even fighters like Terry and Hopper began to bleed from their noses.

Klauser touched his itchy nostrils. As the person who was closest to the radiation, the Imperial Fist could not isolate him from the outside, but... where could he escape to?

He knew clearly that the spaceship was falling, and the nuclear reactor would inevitably cause a huge explosion if it hit the ground. Even if he didn't know the amount of nuclear fuel inside, if it exploded right in his face, even if he survived, it would be difficult for him to withstand the subsequent radiation.

"Take the two of them and jump up!" Sakazaki Ryo's voice came from above. He was lying at the entrance of the cave and shouting, "I found a plane that should be able to take us away. Have you seen Lin Xi?"
