Infinity, The Arcade Age-Chapter 291: Hugo, the Giant

Qin Ming's sudden rampage left Poison severely injured.

Slumped in the car, embedded in the wreckage, she groaned in pain, struggling to get up but finding herself too weak to move.

Seeing this, Qin Ming showed no mercy. His eyes flashed red as he decisively moved in for the kill.

Raising his right arm, which was now glowing with blood light, he slammed his fist into the ground with a thunderous crash.

Imitation Energy Geyser!

Whoosh!

As his fist struck the earth, the blood Qin Ming controlled surged forward, racing across the ground and covering over ten meters in an instant, reaching Poison's position.

Then, with a violent eruption, it transformed into a geyser of blood, mercilessly blasting Poison!

Amid the deafening roar, the car struck by the blood geyser was sent flying four to five meters into the air before crashing back to the ground.

Poison, caught in the blast, let out a scream as her already battered body suffered even more damage.

As Poison, now bleeding profusely, fell from the air, Qin Ming's eyes flashed red again. He crossed his arms and raised them above his head.

With his blood boiling, he charged toward Poison at incredible speed!

Imitation Yami Orochi!

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

His fingers, enhanced by both blood and White Flame, were like steel blades, leaving deep, gruesome gashes with each swipe.

However, Qin Ming wasn't pleased, because the target of his slashes wasn't Poison—it was another enemy!

A giant whose size was almost comparable to Qin Ming's current form!

"Roar!"

The giant, who had crossed his arms to shield his face and used his body to block the barrage of slashes for Poison, grimaced in pain.

Seeing that Qin Ming's combo had finally ended, the giant didn't hesitate. With a powerful swing of his arm, he sent Qin Ming flying.

Looking down at the numerous wounds on his arms and body, the giant's face showed a hint of wariness.

On the other side, Qin Ming, who had tumbled to the ground and skidded to a stop on one knee, looked up sharply.

Staring at the giant, Qin Ming adjusted his sunglasses and narrowed his eyes.

"Hugo?!"

Name: Hugo Andore

Strength: 50

Constitution: 60

Agility: 10

Spirit: 10

Skills: Street Wrestling (B-rank), Mega Press (B-rank), Super Press (B-rank)

Description: Known as "Rain's Fruit" or "Big Potato," Hugo may be simple-minded, but at least his limbs are incredibly strong!

After using his sunglasses to identify the newcomer's stats, Qin Ming's expression turned serious.

In the world of fighting games, he had never encountered a character with such lopsided attributes.

Especially the giant's size—he was almost as big as Qin Ming, if not bigger, and their heights were nearly the same!

Are all the characters in the Street Fighter world, regardless of gender, this muscular?!

His eyes glowing red, Qin Ming quickly stood up.

Watching Hugo, who was now gently rolling his shoulders and striding toward him, Qin Ming let out a roar. He formed tiger claws with his hands, gathering a massive vortex of blood between his palms.

Imitation Raging Storm!

Boom!

With a roar, a gigantic blood sphere shot forward at high speed.

Hugo didn't dodge—with his size and agility, dodging wasn't an option. Instead, he raised his arms to shield his face and charged straight into the blood sphere!

With a deafening explosion, the blood sphere shattered upon impact with Hugo.

Hugo, having tanked the blood sphere with his body, continued charging toward Qin Ming without slowing down, forcing Qin Ming to abandon his long-range attacks and brace himself for a direct confrontation.

With a loud thud, the two giants collided head-on.

Their fingers interlocked, veins bulging on their arms, the two men locked in a fierce test of strength!

Eyes wide and glaring at each other, Hugo's forehead and neck veins throbbed as he clearly exerted his full strength.

Pushing with all his might, Hugo's superior strength began to force Qin Ming backward, his feet sliding across the ground despite his best efforts to hold his ground.

Seeing this, Qin Ming's eyes flashed red as he activated a skill.

As the blood on Qin Ming's arms began to boil, Hugo suddenly felt his own blood being drawn out through his arms, flowing toward Qin Ming.

This shocked Hugo, and he immediately stopped the contest of strength. Instead, he roared and hurled Qin Ming into the air with all his might.

B-rank Super Move: Super Press!

Amid the howling wind, Hugo caught Qin Ming and hoisted him onto his shoulders.

Grabbing Qin Ming by the neck and thighs, Hugo used his own neck as a pivot and violently twisted!

A sickening crack echoed as Hugo forcibly realigned Qin Ming's spine!

Leaping into the air, Hugo slammed Qin Ming into the ground, then followed up by dropping his full weight onto him like a cannonball.

As Hugo's body hit the ground, the impact caused the surrounding area to tremble violently, even cracking the asphalt road.

Having successfully landed his super move, Hugo stood up, grabbed Qin Ming by the collar, and delivered a brutal headbutt, sending Qin Ming flying.

After this, Hugo looked around, then roared as he lifted a nearby car with his bare hands and hurled it toward Qin Ming for a savage follow-up attack.

However, before the car could hit, a flash of blood light erupted.

Struggling to his feet, Qin Ming swung his arm, manipulating the blood to form a massive blood blade that sliced the incoming car clean in half!

The car's wreckage tumbled to the ground and exploded in a massive fireball.

Amid the flames, Qin Ming slowly stood up, his expression now deadly serious.

When Hugo had unleashed his super move, Qin Ming hadn't been able to dodge—he was completely immobilized.

The moment Hugo grabbed him, that strange paralyzing sensation had returned, briefly robbing him of control over his body!

It felt exactly like when Poison had restrained him with her whip earlier!

Now, Qin Ming was certain—this unique paralyzing ability wasn't exclusive to Poison. It was a power shared by all the story characters in this world!

Without flashy skills, they relied on solid, grounded martial arts and this bizarre paralyzing effect!

Once they got their hands on you, it would be nearly impossible to escape their super moves and combos!

In other words, their super moves could ignore the target's base stats and be executed forcibly!

The Street Fighter world's power system was completely different from the King of Fighters world!

Staring at Hugo, who was now panting heavily, Qin Ming's expression turned serious. He planted his feet firmly on the ground, raised his arms, and slowly assumed a fighting stance.

A dense aura of blood swirled around him, making him look terrifying.

He was ready to get serious!

On the other side, seeing this, Hugo nervously spread his arms and crouched, adopting a classic wrestling stance.

What a strange aura! It's blood-red! I've never even heard of something like this!

This opponent is no ordinary fighter. It seems I've really run into a tough one this time!

As the two giants faced off, the street fell into an eerie silence.

Just as the two men, muscles tensed, were about to charge at each other for round two, a groan came from the distance.

"Enough! Cough, cough! Stop fighting! We surrender!"

Poison, leaning against a wrecked car and struggling to stand, spoke up.
