"The Orochi Kin wants to cause trouble at the King of Fighters tournament? If that's the case, then for ordinary people, this place is indeed a hellish place," Shin-ichi said.

Shin'i disliked pointless battles and even somewhat hated violence, but that's just how frustrating this world is; some things can only be resolved with fists. In his view, those Orochi Familia members with mental issues were incapable of normal communication, so simply beating them down was the fastest way to communicate.

Li Wei laughed and asked, "Have you mastered the wine cup technique?"

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Shen'an's pupils shrank sharply. The Wine Cup move was the absolute trump card of the Shen family, requiring extremely high talent to master. This move itself had no destructive power, but it could seal off space and even interfere with time to a certain extent.

This is a top secret of the Divine Family, and also a secret unknown to the other two families of the Three Divine Weapons. Each of the Three Divine Weapons families possesses its own ultimate secret technique, and such techniques are kept secret.

"Where did you learn about this?" Shen'an's tone was somewhat wary.

"First answer me whether you've mastered the wine cup technique, and then I'll tell you what really happened," Li Wei said.

Shen'an nodded and said, "I can't use it under the right circumstances, and even if I manage to use it, it's easy for it to be dodged. But if someone helps me restrain the target, I can achieve a fairly high success rate."

Li Wei laughed and said, "As long as it can be used, that's fine. Didn't you want to know the answer? The answer is very simple: the giant serpent is about to revive."

At this moment, Shen'an almost lost control of his expression. He had a certain understanding of Orochi. Most of the ancient books in his family were related to Orochi. After all, the reason why the Chiqiong family became the Shen family and the flame of the family bloodline changed from gold to purple was because of Orochi.

It can be said that the Shinigami clan and Orochi have a certain bloodline connection, and for this reason, the Shinigami clan has always been wary of the Kusanagi clan. Therefore, the Shinigami clan is often in a very awkward position, feeling like they are caught in the middle. The members of the Shinigami clan also want to prove themselves, but because their ancestors went astray, now even a chance to prove themselves is hard to come by.

Even if they wiped out many Orochi clan members, the Kagura and Kusanagi families were still on their guard. This feeling was quite unpleasant for the proud members of the Kagura family.

"You want me to seal the giant serpent?" Shin-iu asked.

"What? Don't you have the guts?" Li Wei laughed.

"Hahahahaha!!! Interesting, this is really interesting! I never expected to encounter something like this while fighting that bastard Kyo Kusanagi! Orochi is nothing. As long as you can hold him off, I have a way to completely trap him." Shin'i had a ferocious smile on his face. Now, the opportunity to vindicate the Shin family had finally arrived. How could he not be excited about this?

Shin'i had already made up his mind. In the upcoming battle with Kyo Kusanagi, winning or losing was no longer important. As long as he could reseal Orochi, the Shin family would be able to rightfully enjoy their current status and wouldn't be criticized behind their backs.

The current, still somewhat green Shin'an is not the same unfortunate guy who appeared in the original story. Now, he has family and everything, so he is not as extreme as he will be later.

··· ·Requesting flowers····

However, it was precisely because of this that he was easier for Li Wei to guide.

Li Wei patted Shen'an on the shoulder and smiled, "Young man, you won't regret your choice now. From now on, the Shen family will be able to wash away the stains on their bodies and hold their heads high again."

........................

After successfully deceiving Shin'i, Li Wei used the same trick again, leveraging his family's sense of honor to lure Kusanagi Kyo into joining his "snake-hunting team."

Unlike the mature Chizuru and Manki, they are still young. Both Kyo Kusanagi and Iori are relatively green boys who were easily provoked by Li Wei's few words and wanted to fight Orochi to the death. If they were adults, they would never be fooled like this.

....... ........ ...

Kyo Kusanagi confidently stated that he would conserve his strength in the finals to deal with Orochi when he breaks free from his seal. Although he is not yet proficient in Musou, he has mastered Orochi Nagi to a high degree, which is barely passable for a main attacker.

However, what Kyo Kusanagi didn't know was that both he and Iori were just extras that Li Wei brought along. It was only because Li Wei was in a good mood that he was willing to let the two of them "gain experience." After all, if there were some ideals that could be realized, Li Wei would be willing to do them even if there were no direct benefits.

As both teams emerged from the locker room, the entire arena erupted in cheers, the roar of tens of thousands reaching the heavens. Facing such a scene for the first time, both Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Shinichi were somewhat bewildered. However, Terry Bogard of Iori Shinichi's team, a veteran who had participated in two major tournaments, remained calm in the face of this situation.

Meanwhile, the Orochi Kinkaku also sprang into action. While ordinary people couldn't sense it, the Orochi Kinkaku, extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations, could feel the massive energy surging underground. Their faces were filled with excitement and fervor. However, the atmosphere in the entire venue was so frenzied that no one noticed their unusual behavior. Everyone else in the venue was behaving much the same way, perhaps even more fanatically.

Chapter 1. The Great Serpent's Revival

After disguising themselves, Goenitz and Yashiro, sitting in the audience, were ready to make their move.

Goenitz looked at Yashiro and said, "This time, you'll have to work hard."

Yashiro waved his hand and laughed, "It's just a matter of taking a nap, nothing serious. Once my lord descends, we can finally have a proper rest. This time, let me be the vessel for his descent."

Strictly speaking, Goenitz was more suitable as a vessel, but in Yashiro's view, Goenitz also needed to lead the members of his clan, so he felt it was more appropriate for him to do it.

After all, he is not good at leading his people, so with only two people awakened in Jeji, he is the only candidate to be the vessel for their arrival.

Yashiro Nanakase stood up, his tall figure instantly blocking the audience behind him.

"Hey big guy in front, sit down, you're blocking my view of the game!" a spectator behind complained.

Yashiro turned around, revealing what he considered a gentle smile, and said, "Please wait a moment. Soon, you will see something even more exciting and thrilling than the match itself."

After saying this, Yashiro Nanakase leaped high into the air, seemingly defying gravity and floating in the air. At the same time, a massive torrent of energy began to converge on him, and a blinding white light radiated outwards, as if a new sun had appeared in the sky.

This scene stunned the audience, who had no idea what was going on.

At this moment, Chizuru and Manki, who had been waiting in the venue and were ready for battle, ended their period of rest and opened their eyes.

"It's here. This power is extremely similar to what's described in the ancient texts. It must be Orochi. I just don't know if it's Goenitz or Yashiro," Chizuru said.

"I'll go evacuate the people. Chizuru, I'll leave things here in your care," said Manki.

“I understand, sister. I’ll keep an eye on things here, nothing will go wrong. The day to end the family’s fate is here, let’s work together!” Chizuru said.

Chizuru remained in charge, while Manki notified the broadcasting room to begin playing evacuation alarms.

"Due to a terrorist attack, please evacuate the venue under the guidance of staff! Again, due to a terrorist attack, for your safety, please follow the nearest staff member and evacuate through the emergency exits!"

The piercing alarm caused chaos among the audience in the venue. However, Li Wei and Wan Gui, who had anticipated this, had made preparations in advance. They had a large number of staff members hidden in the audience seats. When the chaos broke out and the alarm sounded, the staff responsible for evacuating people took off their coats used to disguise their identities, revealing gray combat uniforms, and began to control the order while evacuating people.

At this moment, Yashiro was beginning to lose his mind. He knew that Orochi was about to awaken. To fulfill the clan's long-cherished wish, any sacrifice was worthwhile, and for him, as a member of the Sekiju, this was nothing more than sleeping, not even a sacrifice.

"These filthy insects have made a mess of the earth. Now, it's time for these filthy insects to pay the price..." After Yashiro finished speaking, his entire body began to change. A pattern like a sun appeared on his body. At the same time, his pupils changed from normal human pupils to the vertical pupils of a snake.

His gray head grew longer and moved without wind, emanating a terrifying pressure that seemed to freeze the entire space.

"Yashiro, huh... I already know of your sacrifice..." Orochi looked down at the fleeing people, his face expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow, a sight that chilled the heart.

At that moment, a large number of golden chains sealed off the entire space, and a golden sun appeared above the serpent's head.

A golden figure slowly descended, a soft golden light emanating from it. Li Wei, fully armed and ready for battle, looked down at the giant snake with a gentle smile on his face.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Great Serpent." Li Wei's smile was very gentle and kind, like that of a friendly older brother next door.

Two deities stood in the air, the golden warm sun and the pale sun exuding deathly aura, their light eroding each other, the clash had begun.

Li Wei spread his golden wings, wielding a golden longsword in his left hand and a golden spear in his right. A hollowed-out sun wheel appeared behind his head. At this moment, his aura was fully displayed, and his extensive preparations were beginning to take effect, binding the giant serpent layer by layer...

Wan Gui had previously complained about him, saying he had basically never seen him do anything productive. But in reality, Li Wei had set up a large number of guiding arrays with the venue as the center. Some of the intense emotions of the audience in the venue flowed into the energy gathering array below the venue, but most of them flowed into the guiding arrays he had prepared in advance, becoming his "temporary battery" and home-field advantage.

Although Orochi has recovered in its full glory, Levi is no pushover. Not only is his strength undeniable, but he has also made extensive preparations in advance, giving him an absolute home-field advantage.

Below, Kyo Kusanagi and Shin'i, who were facing off in the sky, both had expressions of utter despair. The aura emanating from Li Wei and Orochi had suppressed them to the point that they needed to exert all their strength just to lift a finger. How could they possibly fight under such circumstances?

"Is the gap between him and me really that big?!" Shen'an raised his head unwillingly, looking at the two people in the sky. Thinking about how arrogant he was in front of Li Wei, he had the urge to travel back in time and strangle his past self, because it was just too embarrassing.

This wasn't just a case of showing off one's limited skills before an expert; it was like an ordinary person flaunting their wealth in front of a billionaire. The thought of himself doing something like that filled Shen'an with utter shame. At the same time, he was also thinking about just how incredibly powerful his ancestor, who had sealed away the giant serpent, truly was.

Not only was Kyo Kusanagi's face contorted, but he was also filled with resentment. The difference in strength between the two was too great, to the point that he was completely unable to help.

"That old man even asked me for help! He was just trying to make a fool of me, wasn't he? That's definitely it!" Thinking of Li Wei's smiling face, Kyo Kusanagi gritted his teeth in hatred. He was being played for a fool.

Chizuru and Manki both looked at Li Wei, who was like the sun in the sky, with expressions of surprise. Chizuru, in particular, was completely shocked.

Chapter 1. The Imminent Demise of the Orochi Kin

Li Wei hurled his golden longsword, which instantly transformed into countless sword lights that swept towards the giant serpent. The giant serpent raised its hand, and strands of space distorted and collided with the sword lights. In an instant, a piercing shattering sound rang out, and space was torn apart.

Orochi's abilities are quite domineering; a casual attack can shatter space. Compared to Orochi, who can also manipulate space, the calamity is just a weakling.

As the sword light shattered, so too did the space itself. The aftershocks of the battle between the two sides had already stirred up a whirlwind. The shattered space spread outwards, destroying the entire venue beyond recognition. Spectators who were slow to evacuate were caught in the spatial shattering and instantly turned into a mosaic of images.

The giant serpent sensed something amiss, its expression changing. It said, "I never expected to be outmaneuvered. Was everything part of your plan? Even time was sealed off..."

Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm not good at manipulating time, but I can make it impossible for you to manipulate time either."

Li Wei knew there was a certain gap between him and his opponent, mainly in experience. After all, he was just a teenager, while his opponent was an ancient monster who had lived for countless years. This was not just someone who had eaten more salt than rice, but a giant serpent that had existed since the birth of the earth, with billions of years more experience than Li Wei. Without making some preparations, Li Wei was genuinely afraid that he would be defeated.

"I don't understand. You have far surpassed humans, so why do you still choose to help them?" the giant snake asked, puzzled.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Because my compatriots are here. Although they are not perfect and have many problems, they are still my compatriots. There is an irreconcilable conflict between you, who wants to cleanse all mankind, and me."

"That's a pity, we can only be enemies now," the giant snake said calmly.

The two sides clashed, and in an instant, the sky and earth changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the aftershocks of each clash between the golden sun and the pale sun would shave off layers of the ground. In a short while, the entire venue had disappeared, and everyone had moved far away from this place. If it weren't for the seal set up by Li Wei, the destruction caused by the battle between the two sides would have been even greater.

Both sides increased their altitude and distanced themselves from the ground, but the numerous golden chains, like maggots clinging to bones, tightly bound the giant serpent. No matter what methods the giant serpent used, it could not break through the blockade of the golden chains.

On the ground, Goenitz was facing off against Geese's clone and Krauser's clone.

Outside the ruins of the venue, fully armed personnel from the Geese Society and the Monarch Organization had completely surrounded the Orochi Familia.

Goenitz's face was grim. He had originally thought that after the serpent revived, it would be able to quickly wipe out humanity. He never expected that things would turn out this way, and everything was out of his control. This was a trap.

Chizuru and Manki were both surprised that Geese and Krauser, the two uncrowned kings of the underworld, would choose to fight alongside them. This was something they found unbelievable.

Goenitz looked at the clone of Gis and said, "I let you go back then, but I didn't expect you to be looking for death now. Since that's the case, I'll grant your request."

Gis's clone laughed and said, "Actually, I should thank you for not coming to find me back then, otherwise I would be like Karl now, with an electronic eye on my head."

Goenitz's face was extremely gloomy. He hadn't expected that Geis would cooperate with Levi. Geis was a very arrogant person, and he thought he knew Geis quite well, but the choice Geis had made was beyond his comprehension.

Goenitz said nothing more, but simply assumed a fighting stance, ready for battle. In his view, whether it was Geese, Karl, or Krauser, they were all just defeated opponents. If he could win against them once, he could win against them countless times. As the leader of the Orochi Familia, the calamity-like power he possessed was beyond human comprehension.

Chizuru and Manki stepped aside, knowing that they would only cause trouble instead of helping, so they decided to let Geese and Krauser handle it.

Under Levi's control, the clones of Geese and Krauser were indistinguishable from real people, and no one could tell that anything was wrong. Not only were Chizuru and Manki unaware of the problem, but even Goenitz, who was fighting them, had not realized that the two people in front of him were actually someone else's puppets.

Geese's clone raised his hand and unleashed the Gale Fist. Geese's original Gale Fist required the ground as a medium, but Geese's clone did not. Geese's clone's Gale Fist could be considered a "tool," possessing extremely powerful anti-air capabilities.

"Playing tricks in front of me? You're really ignorant of the world!" Before Goenitz could finish speaking, he was slapped in the face by Krauser's clone, Caesarbo, and blasted away.

Seeing this, Chizuru was stunned. Was this still the arrogant underground emperor? He had even learned to use sneak attacks! Not only Chizuru, but the other fighters watching the spectacle were also somewhat confused about the situation. After all, whether it was Geese, Krauser, or Goenitz, they were all figures who rarely showed themselves. The current situation was like the big shots fighting each other, while the mediocre ones cheered from the sidelines.

Although this level of battle is not comparable to the clash between Levi's main body and Orochi, it is still a fairly high-level battle. Ordinary fighters don't even have a fighter to help them in.

Goenitz was immediately put on the defensive when faced with the combined attack of his two puppet clones. He realized that even if he were to fight against Geese and Krauser, it would be difficult to win. Now that the two of them were working together, they were even more difficult to deal with.
