Chapter 18 [Endless Karmic Fire]

Hammer Industries was soon surrounded by television stations, newspaper reporters, and police officers who rushed to the Stark Fair to get out of control.

Melinda took Chris and Skye and secretly mixed in the crowd to evacuate. As for Pepper Potts, he did not agree to leave the scene, insisting that all this was Justin Hammer's responsibility, and walked backstage while calling the police.

Coming to the parking lot outside the fair, Skye looked at the rows of cars destroyed by the steel soldiers not far away, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Whew... Luckily, our RV was parked far enough, otherwise we would have ended up like these cars. ”

Suddenly, Melinda yelled, "Get out of the way!" ”

Chris subconsciously hugged Skye, and quickly retreated more than a dozen steps back with his feet, and suddenly, a destroyed steel soldier fell from the sky, and coincidentally smashed on the top of Skye's RV, instantly smashing a big hole in the roof of the RV.

Seeing that his car was smashed, Skye broke free from Chris's embrace, looked at Iron Man flying far away in the sky, and raised his middle finger angrily: "Fake!" ”

"Looks like your car won't work." Melinda walked over at this time, looked at the smashed RV, and said to Chris, "Our director wants to see you, you can ride with me." ”

"You chief want to see me?!"

Chris frowned, he didn't want to have any dealings with the boiled egg, the other party was a more than ten times more difficult guy than Coulson, not only thoughtful and cunning, but he was a pure person like a blank piece of paper, like a lamb to the slaughter in front of the boiled egg.

Melinda thought that Chris was worried about her safety, so she had to use words to reassure her: "Yes, you don't have to worry, the director just wants to have a good chat with you." ”

At this time, Melinda didn't dare to go head-to-head with Chris, the flame that can melt the steel soldiers, I'm afraid it only takes a few tenths of a second to melt people's bodies.

Hearing Melinda say this, Chris knew that it was not okay not to see a boiled egg, and glanced at Skye beside him, and he said in a deep voice: "I can go and meet your director, but Skye must be with me." ”

Melinda glanced at the defenseless Skye, nodded silently and said, "It's natural." ”

Skye only reacted at this time, these two people were going to take him away, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, where are you going?" Isn't it going to take Chris to the hospital? ”

Chris reached out and touched his back, the back that was originally blurred by the stray bullet was instantly restored by the awakened blood of the big snake: "My injuries should be healed." ”

Skye ran to Chris's back when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw a smooth back without any scars, and before she could be amazed, she heard Melinda say,

"You'll know when you get there."

Melinda pressed the invisible headphones hidden in her ear, muttered a few words, and saw a pure black Chevrolet business car slowly driving over across the road.

"Get in the car."

The three of them got into the car in turn, Melinda took the lead in the passenger seat, and said to Leofiz, who was driving, "Go to the New York branch." ”

"Yes, sir."

Leofiz nodded, and started the engine and drove towards the New York branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., but his eyes kept looking at Chris sitting behind him through the rearview mirror, and just now he also heard the boy named Chris recovering his fire ability from the listening device.

Compared to Leofitz, who could only peek through the rearview mirror, Jenma Simmons stared at Chris nakedly, and sighed in her heart that such a young boy could actually release a magical flame that could instantly melt the steel soldiers, if it weren't for Agent May's presence at this time, she would probably ask the other party directly, can you lend me your flame to study for a few days.

Chris had been leaning back in his seat since he got into the car, thinking about the power of the newly awakened Great Serpent's bloodline, so he didn't notice Janma Simmons' gaze.

On the contrary, Skye, who was sitting next to him, stared at the rather beautiful face of Jenma Simmons sitting directly opposite, and Skye stared at the other party with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

The van had traveled less than a kilometer when several loud explosions were heard behind it, which were the self-detonating devices that Ivan Vanko had installed in the Iron Soldiers.

These self-detonating steel soldiers blew up Stark Expo beyond recognition, most of the buildings were forcibly demolished to the ground, and Skye's RV was completely destroyed.

Skye, unaware that his beloved RV had been destroyed to pieces, was still staring at Gemma Simmons heartlessly, completely unable to hear the violent roar of the explosion behind him.

...

On the way to S.H.I.E.L.D. New York, Chris kept his eyes closed and pondered some of the memories left by the original owner.

Before awakening the flame ability, some of the memories left by the original owner have not been able to completely integrate with Chris. The more I think about it, the more painful it hurts, so recently, Chris hasn't thought about these things, but now that he has awakened the fire ability, there is no such barrier, as if the memories of the two are completely integrated.

Before today, Chris had always thought that his alien fire ability had been sealed by the three artifacts, but it didn't seem that the three artifacts were sealed with the power of the big snake that the big snake had left in his body.

And the blood of the big snake in Chris's body, which was passed down from the origin of the big snake clan, was not sealed by the power of the three artifacts. The reason why I haven't awakened has been from my memory, and I have also got some answers from my memory, it turned out that the original owner was over-releasing his ability in a state of rage, which led to the talent fire generated by the bloodline, and he temporarily fell into dormancy.

This is just like ordinary people, after the abnormal outbreak, the body will fall into a certain period of exhaustion, and various functions will also decline a lot.

After recalling the remaining memories of the original owner, Chris has a deeper understanding of this strange fire in his body.

From the memories of the fusion, it is known that the flame ability controlled by Chris is very different from that of Kusanagi Kyyo, Yagami-an and others.

As one of the three artifact guardian families, the Kusanagi family's bloodline is endowed with an inextinguishable fire (red flame), and Yagami'an, who is also a three-artifact guardian family, has an inextinguishable flame in his own bloodline like Kusanagi Kyo.

However, Yagami had a blood contract with the Great Snake in his early years, and he himself was not a candidate for the "Eight Masterpieces", so the Immortal Flame underwent some kind of mutation, which caused the color of the Flame Fire released by it to appear purple, which was very different from the karmic fire (Black Purple Flame) controlled by Chris.

The karmic fire controlled by Chris is the innate ability that comes with him as a descendant of the Eight Masters of the Great Snake Clan.

This flame called "karmic fire" is derived from the "ignorant karmic fire" born from the wrath of the Great Snake of the Earth Will (island nation), and it can be said that it is far more than the red flame given to Kusanagikyo by the three artifacts, and the variant Cangyan of Yagami-an.

And before at the Hammer press conference, when facing those steel soldiers, the trick used by Chris was called the Dark Snake Shaving in the game of "The King of Fighters 97", and in reality, the original master called it "endless karmic fire", a move will quickly expand and ferment in the air, and it will soon permeate the surroundings, unless the enemy is completely melted into nothingness, or Chris's will to extinguish it, otherwise it will always burn.

This move, "Endless Karmic Fire", and the other move, "Karma Fire of the Earth", are the two strongest moves created by Chris after awakening the bloodline of the Great Snake Clan.

Ignorant karmic fire, also called hellfire by the people in the King of Fighters world, is an existence under the sky, enough to burn and annihilate everything.

Even such a powerful ignorant karmic fire has a fatal drawback, that is, it cannot be overused.

It's just like playing games, most of the characters must have blue to release skills. If it is forcibly exerted excessively, it will be the same as the state of the original owner after the rampage out of control, and the karmic fire ability granted by the bloodline will fall into a kind of deep sleep, and no one can know when it will be able to wake up again.

Therefore, after the original owner awakened the bloodline, he rarely used the ability of karmic fire, and only used it at the moment of life and death. On the one hand, they want to hone their fighting skills and physical strength, and on the other hand, they don't want to rely too much on karma.

As for how many blue bars there are and how many times they can be cast, it has to do with Chris's physical strength, as long as the physical strength is sufficient, in a sense, it can be used infinitely.

Although Chris's physique is due to the blood of the big snake, he is naturally superior to ordinary people, and his personal sensitivity is far beyond that of ordinary martial artists. But he has always been a human being, and he has not reached a higher level of life, so if he uses it excessively, it will still be the same as the lack of blue in the game character, and the ability of karmic fire will not be able to be brought into play.

"It turns out that it's different from the flames of Yagami-an, so I'm afraid I can't freeze the enemy with flames like Yagami."

After Chris thoroughly reviewed the memories of the original owner that remained in his mind, he found that his karmic fire was still quite different from the Cangyan of Yagami Nunnery.

Before this, Chris had not properly sorted out the memories of the original owner, so he always thought that the flames of the two were about the same.

PS: The ability of Chris, the protagonist of this book, is based on the King of Fighters 97 game and official settings, as well as his own adaptation, not the King of Fighters in Hong Kong comics, so some of the settings that appear in Hong Kong comics, I will only make references, and may add them.

Secondly, Chris's real ability is the power of the big snake that is sealed in his body.
