He originally thought that since his body had been strengthened by the virus's power,
the gap between the two shouldn't be that large. However, it seemed Javier was mistaken. Wesker, who had perfectly fused with the progenitor virus, still crushed Javier in terms of speed and strength.
This gap was not something that could be compensated for by technique alone.
It required the accumulation of viral ability development over time and the injection of stronger virus strains to narrow the distance.
"Do you?"
"I told you, the gap between you and me is like heaven and earth; it's not something a mere T-Virus can bridge. You are still no match for me, Javier."
Catching the sharp blade with one hand, Wesker turned his head to look at Javier before him, speaking in an extremely cold tone.
When he said he didn't take Javier seriously, he meant it. From beginning to end, the man was nothing more than an ant who posed no threat to him whatsoever.
"Is that so?"
"Then how about trying this move: Judgment Cut End!"
Shouting out the incredibly embarrassing move name as usual, Javier looked at the arrogant Wesker and immediately activated the passive skill of the Knock-off Yama Magic Sword.
Javier's figure flickered,
vanishing from the spot instantly.
With speed surpassing light, he blinked behind Wesker in the Blink of an eye. Before the latter could react, he struck Wesker's back with a fierce slash.
Puchi...!
This time, it was a solid hit.
The sharp blade sliced a deep gash into Wesker's trench coat,
tearing through the flesh beneath as well. A wound half a meter long opened up on Wesker's back, and blood sprayed out instantly.
It happened so suddenly.
The Knock-off Yama Magic Sword's passive Blink allowed for short-distance space-time jumps, a speed comparable to the speed of light.
Therefore, it was perfectly normal that Wesker couldn't react. After all, Wesker's current speed had not surpassed the speed of light; he hadn't even reached the speed of sound.
But unfortunately,
this strike was only as effective as that.
Because the Yamato's passive Blink skill had a very obvious cooldown period; once used, it couldn't be used again for several minutes.
So, this strike was merely Javier's way of annoying Wesker. Javier knew he couldn't kill Wesker,
so he used this method to provoke him. Didn't you say I couldn't hit you? Well, didn't I just hit you?!
"..."
"What did you just do...?"
The sharp pain from his back forced Wesker to straighten his body. He reached back to touch the wound, and when he pulled his hand away, his palm was covered in dark red blood.
Behind his black sunglasses, Wesker's eyes seemed filled with confusion as he asked Javier in a flat tone.
He had clearly felt it just now.
Javier had completed the act of vanishing in an instant and appeared behind him out of thin air. Wesker was certain... that wasn't speed.
Even extreme speed couldn't achieve that level. It was more like a jump... yes, a jump through space-time!
This ability was just like the curving bullets Javier had fired with the Desert Eagle; it was a very special ability.
This made Wesker suddenly curious about Javier. He had first witnessed the curving bullets during the Mansion Villa mission.
Wesker had questioned Javier back then,
but he never received an answer.
And now...
Javier had gained many more strange and bizarre abilities. This made Wesker very curious about how Javier had obtained them.
Rustle...!
At the same time,
while speaking,
Wesker voluntarily shed his grayish-black trench coat,
revealing a tight-fitting leather scale T-shirt underneath. Without the so-called restraint, Wesker intended to get serious.
He was going to go all out to instantly eliminate Javier and the others. After all, intense killing intent was radiating from behind those black sunglasses at this moment.
However,
Wesker clearly didn't know about the'shedding clothes leads to death' buff. Since he dared to take off his life-saving trench coat today, Javier was certain that Wesker would meet his end here.
It would be exactly like the ending of the original timeline. If one'shedding clothes' buff wasn't enough, then later Javier would give Wesker a'sunglasses' buff by knocking off those black sunglasses too. Then Wesker would be truly helpless!
"Don't ask so much. If you're so capable, kill me right here."
"Otherwise, Wesker, Chris is already closing in on your b2 bomber. That plane could be destroyed at any moment. Aren't you worried?"
Looking at Wesker,
Javier didn't answer his question. Instead, he flicked the Yamato, shaking off the blood staining it.
Lifting his gaze,
Javier pointed at Chris and the others who were already near the b2 bomber not far away and spoke slowly. It was his familiar provocation technique; Javier didn't believe Wesker wouldn't take the bait.
But,
this time Javier really underestimated Wesker's ability to remain calm.
Wesker glanced at Chris and the others in the distance through his black sunglasses. Although he felt quite angry,
there was nothing he could do about it.
Therefore, after just a moment's thought, Wesker formulated Plan B.
"No need. It doesn't matter anymore."
"I admit that right now I don't have the ability to stop you from destroying the b2 bomber. So, I have abandoned the release of the ouroboros virus. Now, I only want to slaughter all of you."
"If the virus is gone, I can just make more. The method for creating the ouroboros virus is right here in my head. If the b2 bomber is gone, I can find another."
"But you... time and again, you interfere with Wesker's plans. You must all die here today. Even if Lisa comes, she won't be able to save you. I said it!"
Not just the shedding clothes buff,
Wesker even took the initiative to remove his black sunglasses, revealing eyes that had turned crimson after merging with the progenitor virus, as he spoke flatly.
He had made his decision.
Chris and the others could destroy the b2 bomber however they liked; he couldn't stop them anyway. But Javier and the rest had to die here today.
Once he dealt with these troublesome and persistent insects,
Wesker could leap from the Freighter into the sea to escape. The method for creating the ouroboros virus was in his head.
With Wesker's capabilities,
getting another b2 bomber and a canister of ouroboros virus would be no problem. By then, with Javier and the others dead, no one would be able to stop him from releasing the virus.
After thinking this through,
Wesker felt his mind clear instantly. Now... Plan B begins—!
Swoosh—!
Without hesitation,
Wesker hurled his sunglasses into the water and simultaneously shot forward, stepping off with immense force.
A large crater caved into the bottom of the hold.
Wesker's figure attacked as swiftly as a ghost, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him. This was the maximum speed Wesker could achieve.
Aside from Lisa,
no one here could keep up with Wesker's speed. Javier's own viral strength couldn't compare, while Alexia's viral enhancement was in a completely different direction.
"Die...!"
He arrived in front of Javier in the Blink of an eye. With a low shout, and using no weapons, Wesker drew back his arms like a bowstring and threw a punch with full force, aiming straight for Javier's abdomen.
"So fast."
In just a momentary lapse,
Wesker's figure had already appeared before him. Javier had to admit that Wesker's speed was truly incredible.
As the punch came,
Javier hurried to raise the Yamato to parry, but he had underestimated Wesker's strength. This strike couldn't be fully blocked.
Clang—!
A sharp, piercing sound rang out.
Unafraid of the Yamato's sharp edge, Wesker's punch slammed heavily into the blade. The two collided.
Although the incredibly hard Yamato didn't break, it was forced into a curve. The heavy force then spread and transferred to Javier, who couldn't stop himself from stumbling back several steps.
Step, step, step...!!!
But the attack didn't stop.
A series of rapid footsteps reached his ears.
Glancing over, he saw Wesker rapidly approaching. Wesker bent low, turned, and raised his leg, executing a spinning kick with maximum power.
A heavy, powerful whip kick lashed out toward Javier's neck. If this kick landed, it could bend a steel pipe. If Javier's neck were hit, it would likely snap.
Seeing this,
Javier couldn't worry about the Yamato and recalled it into his storage space. He brought both hands together to quickly block the left side of his neck!
Bang——————!
Crack...!
Another dull thud.
When the heavy kick landed, both of Javier's arms were instantly broken and went limp. Simultaneously, the residual force sent Javier flying several meters away.
He tumbled across the ground like a ragdoll several times before stopping. His head was dizzy, and his arms had lost all sensation.
Clink—!
"Just a little bit off, but no matter. I'll finish you off and kill you slowly, Javier. I won't give you any lucky chances to escape this time."
Savoring the powerful kick he just delivered,
Wesker knew Javier wasn't dead yet, so he decisively continued forward.
This time, Wesker drew a sharp Tactical Dagger he carried on his thigh. He spoke flatly as he looked at Javier, who was still struggling to crawl up from the ground nearby.
Drawing a blade meant Wesker truly intended to put Javier to death. After all, Wesker knew that Javier was quite important to that freakish woman, Lisa.
If Javier died here,
that woman Lisa might go insane from grief, and her consciousness might even be consumed by the bio-virus inside her.
If Lisa went mad and started destroying everything or even released the toxic gas within her to infect the world, it would actually be a good thing for Wesker.
After all, the person he least wanted to face was Lisa. If he could slaughter Javier, Wesker felt there was a ninety percent chance Lisa would fall into a state of demonic madness—!
Sizzle...!
Boom—!!!
However,
in the next second, before Wesker could react,
a blast of scorching fire rapidly swept toward him from nearby. A wall of blood-red flames formed, separating Wesker from Javier.
Looking at the terrifyingly hot wall of fire, Wesker adjusted his glasses and glanced to the side. There, he saw Alexia, who had just intervened.
At this moment, red flames still burned in Alexia's hand. With one hand on her hip and the other controlling the fire, Alexia's eyes calmly watched Wesker as she spoke.
