But even so, the fanaticism on his face had not diminished in the slightest.
At this moment, saliva dripped from his mouth, his gray and white hair hung behind his head like weeds, and he looked like a madman; gone was the calm demeanor of a scientist.
"Humans are merely the larval form of some creature, and now, evolution is finally coming!"
"Fusion! Only by fusing everything can we reach the future of humanity!"
"Corporations, experiments, bio-weapons—screw them all! They are all just idiots I've been playing with!"
"My true purpose is to welcome the future of humanity!"
Moritz raised his hands to the sky, his eyes rolled back until almost only the whites were visible. At this moment, he believed himself to be a messenger of the gods.
All the so-called bio-weapon projects were just lies he used to deceive Biotechnica.
His true plan was for the future of humanity.
Moritz was incomparably crazed, having completely lost his sanity.
V finally realized something was wrong.
This guy wasn't developing any bio-weapon at all; he was doing this entirely for his own ulterior, evil purposes.
Everyone, the corporations, they—all had been deceived.
And now, they were about to pay the price for it.
Thunder was rumbling, but it wasn't followed by a rainstorm.
The entire clearing seemed to be trembling, and the small pebbles on the ground were bouncing as if they had life.
The three of them stood back-to-back, vigilantly watching the lurking darkness, afraid that some even more deformed monster would rush out.
But the reality didn't seem to follow their imagination.
Just when they thought the threat was coming from elsewhere, the corpses of the Raiders they had previously killed "came to life."
"Damn, these guys are alive!"
On the ground, the pieces of the Raiders that had been killed and were dead-dead were now wriggling as if they had regained vitality, then moving at high speed, darting back into the array of glass cabinets as if pulled by strings.
This left the three, who were aiming their guns at the corpses, somewhat stunned.
It wasn't the Raiders reviving, so what exactly was waiting for them?
The next second, a dense sound of shattering glass rang out in unison, like thunder before a rainstorm.
It was the glass tanks.
As the glass shattered, the green solution and the semi-finished experimental subjects inside poured out, quickly forming a green shallow pool on the ground.
But the changes hadn't ended.
The green solution seemed to have a life of its own, surging in waves and sweeping the deformed experimental subjects toward the center.
Soon, a bizarre and incomprehensible scene unfolded before their eyes.
The experimental subjects and the solution intertwined and spun amidst a terrifying grinding sound. Countless experimental subjects twisted together like a braided rope, forming a creepy, giant green "meat worm."
A long worm composed of countless people.
The moment this long worm formed, it gained life. Countless heads on its body opened their eyes in unison, their eyes filled with a vast, pale green. The exposed arms and legs, swaying like seaweed, became the fleshy feet of this long worm.
Finally, what appeared before the three was a giant meat worm the size of two buses joined together.
Those dull eyes seemed to be staring at the three, longing to merge with them.
On its body, countless mouths opened, pitch-black, emitting a silent roar.
"What the hell is this!?"
Jessica was almost scared senseless, nearly unable to hold the gun in her hand.
The scene before her was too much of a shock to her sanity, and the fear in her heart almost swallowed her whole.
It wasn't that she didn't want to run; it was just that the moment she saw this monster, her mind went blank, and she couldn't react to anything.
As her body trembled, a wave of warmth came from below.
But at this moment, Jessica, who was scared out of her wits, didn't even realize it.
Even the battle-hardened Moer was in a sorry state upon seeing this monster; though she wasn't scared senseless, she was close to it.
Her mouth felt like it was choked up, unable to utter a single word.
"Ah, how wonderful, how sacred!"
In the control room, Moritz's fanaticism nearly burst from his eyes as he opened his mouth wide, praising the perfect creation hysterically.
"This is humanity's 'Mature Form,' this is humanity's future."
"Fusion, fuse everything, completely break down the barriers between you and me. This is humanity's future, this is true humanity!"
With his final shout, Moritz nearly fainted.
They're all mad, completely mad.
Everyone on the scene was captivated by the enormous creature, a conglomerate of hundreds of individuals, before them.
V's mind also trembled, and she was frozen in place, everything in her vision seized by the monster before her, unable to muster any thought of resistance.
This was Moritz's true plan.
The people at Biotechnica had no idea of the true ambition of their biologist, Moritz.
This fellow actually called the thing before him 'true humanity'.
If this thing were to escape and gather billions of humans worldwide, what a terrifying and shocking sight that would be.
On the barren land, a giant worm, thousands of kilometers long with a head comparable to Mount Fuji, roared. Its tens of billions of fleshy feet were human limbs, and its billions of black dots were human eyes.
This is humanity's 'Mature Form,' the newborn, sole humanity.
They're all mad, completely mad.
Before this blasphemous monster and terrifying illusion, V's thoughts shattered, unable to form coherent ideas.
And that 'human' also began to move.
As if seeing its 'companions' who had not yet assembled, it writhed, hundreds of 'fleshy feet' desperately reaching, dragging its massive body forward. Its pure green eyes were filled with longing for its 'companions'.
And the three of them, V included, stood there like idiots, showing no consciousness of resistance against the threat before them.
