After all, it would be far too bizarre if such a vicious criminal confessed everything so easily and simply. Is this guy mentally ill?
"..."
"In that case, you've lost all your intelligence value. After all, you've already spilled every secret. But don't get too smug,"
"Do you think that by confessing all your evidence, the BSAA will go easy on your crimes? For the illegal sale of bio-weapons, a lifetime of life imprisonment awaits you once we return to the BSAA headquarters,"
"You will spend your entire life in prison, the kind where you can't even die. So don't harbor any delusions. I won't let a bastard like you die so easily!"
Ignoring the truthfulness of Elvin's words,
Josh, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and slammed Elvin to the ground again. Looking at the scum who was still chuckling before him, Josh, the captain of Delta Squad, felt a surge of anger.
This bastard,
Mustn't think that confessing his crimes will lead to a lighter sentence. For turning so many innocent civilians into bio-monsters, endless torture awaits Elvin. For the wicked, doing wrong must lead to punishment!
However,
Faced with Josh's beating,
Elvin, lying on the ground with a mouth full of blood, didn't get angry. Instead, he continued to show a manic smile, as if there really was some neurological disorder in his head. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth,
Elvin's sinister eyes looked at Chris, Josh, and the others. Looking at Josh in particular, there wasn't a hint of anger, only an incredibly mocking reply:
"..."
"I was just speaking to the famous anti-bioterrorism hero, Chris, not to you weak members of the BSAA. You need to get that straight,"
"A bunch of guys who couldn't even defeat a mere failed ouroboros virus fusion... I don't give you a second thought,"
"Furthermore, I know that being captured means I'll never be treated well. So from the start, I never intended to let you take me back. Chris... whether you actually have the ability to stop Wesker will have to be proven through my test!"
Slowly crawling up from the ground,
Elvin looked at the crowd before him,
And spoke in an incredibly manic and neurotic tone. This caused everyone's expressions to shift as they hurriedly retreated several steps, fearing Elvin might be carrying self-destructing explosives.
Meanwhile, the two female warriors nearby, Jill and Sheva,
Aimed their anti-materiel barrett heavy sniper rifle and RPG at Elvin's head. The moment they detected any excessive behavior from Elvin, they could immediately kill the bastard with a headshot!
But unfortunately,
Because the black market dealer Elvin was a crucial figure,
These members of the BSAA had to try their best to capture Elvin alive and couldn't let him die carelessly.
Therefore, even though they suspected Elvin had explosives on him, Jill and Sheva couldn't kill him immediately; it had to be a last resort.
And this...
Gave the black market dealer Elvin the exact opportunity to inject the parasite serum—!
*Puchi...!*
"Aaaaah—!!!!!"
Without any hesitation,
The black market dealer Elvin immediately pulled a parasite syringe from his pocket and slammed it into his neck.
With the injection of a large number of parasites, the veins on Elvin's forehead bulged, and he couldn't help but scream hysterically from the pain.
Inside was a syringe of the Third-generation Dominant Plaga parasite, cloned and enhanced from the remnants collected from Wolfs Valley in Spain.
It possessed extreme berserk properties.
Once injected, mutation could be completed within seconds, granting extraordinary power! This was the gift Wesker had given Elvin.
And now...
Elvin intended to use this to test Chris. If Chris couldn't even defeat him, there was no point in talking about defeating Wesker or stopping the Ouroboros world-ending plan!
"Hahahahahaha...!!!"
"Chris, let me see your strength..."
Amidst a burst of laughter,
The black market dealer Elvin began to mutate directly. This sudden change startled Chris, Jill, and the others, who hurriedly retreated to get as far away from Elvin as possible to avoid being caught in the monster's wake.
*Puchi...*
*Gurgle gurgle gurgle...*
And then, something terrifying happened.
The suit on Elvin's back suddenly burst open as a dense mass of parasite tentacles erupted out. Countless tentacles dove straight down toward the bottom of the lake behind the oil tanker.
Elvin himself also rapidly plunged into the depths of the lake.
The once calm surface of the lake began to surge violently. A large number of bubbles constantly rose, and one could even see many fish at the bottom of the lake being frantically devoured.
This was the power of the Third-generation Dominant Plaga parasite.
It possessed a powerful absorption capability.
Like the T-Veronica Virus, it would frantically devour surrounding organic life, gaining energy through consumption to transform into a massive monster.
Because it was devouring aquatic life,
Elvin's mutation took the form of an aquatic monster. As a vast amount of aquatic life was swallowed, the entire oil tanker began to rock violently as if it were about to be capsized. The lake surface became turbulent, as terrifying as the open ocean.
*Rustle rustle...*
*Gurgle gurgle...*
In the next second,
Dozens of thick, smooth, and wet tentacles suddenly wrapped around the entire tanker like the tentacles of a giant squid. A towering spray of water suddenly exploded from the lake's surface.
The giant sea monster Elvin, formed from the fusion of aquatic life, appeared completely before everyone. It was a hideous sea monster composed of a three-lobed white skeletal shell.
Its head was like a bone dragon with sharp bone spikes, but it was split into three-lobed teeth. Located at the very center was the core where the black market dealer Elvin was hidden.
Naked and with pale skin, he was fused into the sea monster's mouth, his posture identical to that of the former castle lord Ramon Salazar.
Not only that,
This giant sea monster had two even thicker and larger hard tentacles, like long whips with spikes at the tips. If raised into the air and slammed down, an ordinary wooden fishing boat would likely be smashed in half on the spot.
At this moment, the black market dealer Elvin,
In his true sea monster form, was as terrifying as the Great Old One Gatanothor, except the shell on his head was a dragon-like shape with sharp bone spikes.
But the tentacles on his body and the two massive main tentacles were identical, and he was a monster type extremely skilled in aquatic combat.
His body was also quite terrifying,
Estimated to be about twenty meters in height,
Dozens of times larger than an ordinary Tyrant. This scale... made Javier Li want to go to the West to invite Ultraman Tiga to subdue this giant monster.
After all, since this monster was already this huge, did such a thing as a human host really not exist in the world of Resident Evil?
"Alexia, didn't you want to take action?"
"Now is your time to act. Beat this sea monster to death. After all, if you don't fight now, we're going to be eaten. Lisa, if Alexia can't handle it, then you go up and help!"
Looking at the giant sea monster before him,
As well as the violently rocking tanker amidst the surging waves, Javier Li suddenly grabbed Alexia's wrist and immediately gave her the order.
What's the point of bullying small fry all day? You like to fight, don't you? Now that an opponent is here, you can play the superhero and take down this sea monster!
At the same time,
Javier Li immediately took a heavy weapon, a four-barreled rocket launcher, out of his storage space, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the sea monster at any time.
After all, this was at the level of a giant kaiju. Alexia might not be able to solve it easily, so he had to provide timely support from the side.
Meanwhile, Lisa served as the final trump card.
If Alexia really couldn't kill the sea monster, he would let Lisa step in. With the two of them attacking together, perhaps they really wouldn't need to fear even a giant monster.
"Are you kidding me...!"
"Am I the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong? If I have to fight, I'll fight. It's just a big guy; size doesn't necessarily represent strength. And this opponent happens to suit my taste. Step back a bit,"
Hearing Javier Li's goading words,
Alexia replied with a look of disdain, shaking off Javier Li's arm. Her sapphire-blue eyes were filled with intense excitement as she looked at the giant sea monster.
This was indeed a very suitable opponent.
She hadn't hunted such a high-difficulty prey in a long time. Her hands itching for action, Alexia tucked her long golden hair behind her ears, handed her crystal necklace and white silk gloves to Javier Li, and immediately entered her combat state.
*Puchi...!*
Alexia's posture rapidly changed.
A mass of crimson flames suddenly began to burn from her wrists and quickly spread across her entire body. Her purple evening gown slowly faded away under the scorching of the flames.
One could even see the fair skin beneath the purple gown that made one's breath quicken. But just as Alexia's golden-ratio body was about to be exposed to Javier Li's gaze, her skin color instantly changed.
Alexia transformed from an angel with the most perfect golden-ratio features completely into a female demon. Her fair skin turned into a shriveled gray-green.
It looked like rough tree bark,
Her entire body was covered in scales. On her right shoulder, a sleeve like a flower petal grew, and a large number of tree roots spread across her chest. Her left thigh had similar petal-like clothing. Alexia was now in a semi-nude state.
Her golden hair faded, turning completely into drooping red petals that also covered half of Alexia's cheek. She looked like a female demon transformed from a tree or flower spirit.
And this...
Was Alexia's T-Veronica Virus combat form, identical to her appearance at the Antarctic Research Institute.
It was also the most perfect fusion state for Alexia as the host of the T-Veronica Virus.
She... was the incarnation of perfection!
The T-Veronica Virus was a powerful virus that combined both insect and plant characteristics. Alexia could not only summon soldier ants to do her bidding,
But she could also control surrounding vegetation to attack. The blood contained in her body could create flames to strike targets through friction with the air. These flames were extremely destructive to biological structures.
So in a sense,
The T-Veronica Virus was not outdated; it remained one of the top-tier bio-viruses, not 'outdated and declined' as Wesker had claimed.
Of course...
This was under the premise of being a perfect fusion like Alexia, rather than just an infected state. If it were just an infection, it would indeed be very weak and outdated...!
Looking at the giant sea monster before her,
Alexia didn't feel the slightest bit of fear; instead, she was unusually excited. This demon body covered in plants,
Was her combat form,
And her most perfect state. Possessing a diverse arsenal, Alexia didn't care about the giant sea monster at all. Despite the massive size difference, their actual strength was worlds apart.
After all, it was just growing larger.
If Alexia wanted to, she could do it too, because the Emperor strain of the T-Veronica Virus possessed the ability to assimilate all surrounding organic life.
Back at the Antarctic Research Institute,
Because that godforsaken place was barren, there were simply no extra organisms to absorb. But now, it was completely different.
As long as Alexia wanted...
She could also devour the aquatic life at the bottom of the lake to grow stronger, and she could even spread the virus over a large area, infecting the entire African region.
Back in the Amazon Rainforest,
Manuela's father, Idalgo,
Using a flawed T-Veronica Virus variant, had his body rapidly absorb and assimilate more than half of the Amazon Rainforest.
He transformed into a giant monster over twenty meters tall, no less imposing than the sea monster before them. Therefore, as long as Alexia wanted... she could also become giant.
Because of the confinement by Javier Li and Lisa, and the fact that a G-Virus embryo was parasitizing her body, all of Alexia's former ambitions and desires had been completely submerged and extinguished.
