This wasn't something Javier had developed himself.
As formidable as he was, he hadn't reached that level yet; this Man-portable Electromagnetic Particle Cannon had been salvaged from the Antarctic Research Institute.
The person who invented it was none other than Alexia's father, Alexander Ashford, and it was his ultimate weapon.
Having anticipated the possibility, Alexander Ashford feared his daughter might use the T-Veronica Virus to destroy the world.
Thus, he had developed this weapon early on. Its power could easily kill Alexia in her perfect fusion state.
Back at the Antarctic Research Institute, Alexia had suffered at the hands of this weapon, nearly being blasted into dust with no hope of recovery. She never expected Javier to have salvaged it now.
Of course,
the greatest strength of this weapon was its man-portable mode.
An electromagnetic particle cannon that could be used by a single person was a top-tier weapon even on a global scale.
This was because, until now, no one else had invented a man-portable version. Such weapons usually required a fixed current output and couldn't be operated with a separate, portable power source.
Making it man-portable was incredibly difficult, yet Alexander Ashford had succeeded, which spoke volumes of his genius!
At the same time, this was the reason for Javier's greatest confusion regarding why the Resident Evil world was so obsessed with virus research when they could clearly create even more powerful world-ending weapons.
Yet they remained obsessed with tiny bio-viruses, which was simply incomprehensible. Aside from their infectivity, bio-viruses had no other advantages.
When it came to simple and brutal power,
they couldn't compare to conventional weapons at all—take, for example, the Helios Satellite from the Floating Island Panic, which focused solar energy into a beam for high-thermal strikes on the ground.
Its power could easily sink an island, boiling the very seas with ease. Then there was the current man-portable electromagnetic cannon.
The development of the technology tree here was far more advanced than in the original world, which was why Javier couldn't understand why these people were so obsessed with researching bio-viruses; it was both time-consuming and laborious.
However, if it involved human evolution and immortality, then it was understandable. After all, no matter how powerful a weapon was, it couldn't extend one's lifespan.
At the same time,
this was also why Javier judged that the world couldn't possibly be destroyed by a virus. As long as the human side in the Resident Evil world had time to react,
with so many advanced weapons,
they could easily wipe out the virus in a given area. Under the several-thousand-degree heat of solar energy, whether it was bacteria, fungi, or viruses, everything would be turned to ash!
"..."
"How is that possible? That weapon?! That bastard was actually hiding this weapon; was he really guarding against me, or someone else?"
With a quick glance,
Alexia also spotted the electromagnetic particle cannon Javier had brought out. Regarding the weapon her old man had specifically created to deal with her,
Alexia's memory was still fresh.
This weapon had caused her a great deal of trouble back at the Antarctic Research Institute. It was incredibly powerful; a basic hit to the torso could completely pierce and incinerate it.
Nothing could withstand it; calling it a laser cannon wouldn't be an exaggeration. Therefore, when Javier took out this weapon, Alexia perked up slightly.
Because, to be honest...
The power of this weapon really did have the potential to kill Wesker. After all, if his entire body could be blasted into cinders, he wouldn't be able to perform his so-called rebirth.
Thinking of this,
Alexia didn't hesitate. Intending to give Javier another hand, she immediately rushed forward without a word, her hands spread wide as scorching flames danced once more.
Rolling heat waves surged violently around Alexia, forming a fierce fire vortex. This time, Alexia intended to go all out to buy Javier that single remaining chance.
*Pshhh...*
*Boom boom boom—!!!*
Blood-red flames spread and swirled frantically.
Burning fire continuously coiled around Alexia. Relying on the protection of her flame armor,
Alexia charged toward Wesker without a hint of fear. The crimson flames were pushed to their limit, biting at Wesker like a pack of ferocious wolves.
"Seeking death...!" +2
Seeing this,
two voices emanated from the mutated Wesker's throat once more. The ouroboros virus deemed Alexia overconfident, her actions purely suicidal.
Wesker, on the other hand, wondered how Alexia could be so stupid, attacking even when she knew she was outmatched. It was a death wish; he was utterly perplexed as to how this former genius could have become so foolish.
As the crimson flames were about to reach him, the mutated Wesker refused to be outdone and chose to do the same, his body's black flames surging out once again.
The moment the two touched,
the seemingly formidable crimson flames were instantly suppressed. The fire dissipated, and the scalding black flames burned into Alexia's body once more.
A shrill scream echoed from a distance. Just like before, Alexia, facing the burning crisis, hurriedly retreated. This time, the burns were even more severe.
Almost her entire body was covered in flames.
With no other choice, Alexia had to quickly slice away her own flesh to prevent the black flames from spreading and consuming her entirely.
"Has it evolved into Amaterasu's black flames...?"
"Then why don't you try a taste of this Lightning Style Ninjutsu?"
Looking at the burning black flames released by the mutated Wesker in the distance, Javier couldn't help but be reminded of a certain black flame called Amaterasu.
But as luck would have it,
if Wesker had the black flames of Amaterasu, Javier just happened to have a powerful Lightning Style Ninjutsu right here. He'd see whose power was superior.
Without delay,
taking advantage of the interval while Wesker was still distracted by Alexia, Javier quickly donned the battery backpack for the Man-portable Electromagnetic Particle Cannon.
This thing weighed a full fifty kilograms.
The fully charged batteries inside were enough for about three shots from the electromagnetic particle cannon. If they hit, it would be enough to kill Wesker.
"Target locked—!"
*Click...*
Flipping open the transparent scope on top,
Javier aimed the heavy muzzle of the electromagnetic particle cannon at Wesker and immediately pressed the fire button without a moment's hesitation.
The instant the fire button was pressed, the battery backpack behind him suddenly lit up with a blue glow, and at the front of the electromagnetic particle cannon, a series of powerful, azure electrical currents suddenly appeared.
*Zzzzt zzzzt—!!!*
A piercing, turbulent sound filled his ears, along with the scent of burning.
The powerful blue currents crackled as they surged against each other. Under the continuous crossing of currents, a blinding arc of white light suddenly erupted from the gate of the electromagnetic particle cannon.
The daylight-bright glow blinded everyone.
Carrying terrifying energy, the electromagnetic laser struck toward Wesker's body like a rushing comet. Its speed was exceptionally fast, having already broken the speed of sound; after all, this thing was as swift as thunder and lightning.
*Rumble rumble rumble————————!!!!!!!!!*
The powerful azure current beam hit the target dead center.
In an instant, it slammed into the mutated Wesker's body, his entire chest almost submerged and covered by the azure current beam.
A heavy, charred, foul stench instantly spread out. There was no blood on the ground because, in just the moment of contact, the flesh had already been incinerated into ash...
In the final analysis,
to defeat these bio-monsters, one didn't necessarily need to use magic to defeat magic. Using viruses to counter viruses was very time-consuming and troublesome.
Humanity's weapons of wisdom could still destroy everything.
For instance, the electromagnetic particle cannon before him was basically unstoppable. With one high-thermal electromagnetic beam,
even a steel plate tens of centimeters thick could be easily pierced, and the mutated Wesker's body was no exception.
*Pshhh...!*
*Vrrr vrrr... thud—!!!*
The strike hit the target.
The powerful energy directly pierced Wesker's chest, giving even Wesker himself no time to react.
Because he hadn't expected Javier to have such a weapon. That strong body, comparable to a Tyrant's,
was almost no different from paper before this electromagnetic particle cannon. Furthermore, the biggest difference was that ordinary gunpowder bullets couldn't destroy Wesker's body and could only cause minor trauma.
But under this laser-like energy infusion, that flesh and blood turned to ash in the blink of an eye, with absolutely no possibility of recovery.
This was the most fatal part.
If one was annihilated into dust in an instant, it didn't matter how fast the ouroboros virus's recovery speed was; it would be useless.
And as luck would have it,
this energy blast happened to hit Wesker's chest. Almost his entire body was pierced and submerged by the electromagnetic particle cannon, and a large portion of his torso was incinerated, scattering as gray ash on the ground.
A massive amount of flesh and blood vanished, and that large, burly body was now reduced to less than a fragment of its former self, with all the flesh below the neck disintegrated.
Only a head remained, falling to the ground.
The other, black half of the face showed an expression of agony, its yellow eyeballs rolling incessantly. This strike from the electromagnetic particle cannon had indeed caused immense damage, perhaps even to an irreparable degree!
"Is he dead...?"
Seeing the result of his electromagnetic particle cannon shot, Javier muttered in doubt.
It wasn't just the mutated Wesker's body that had been pierced; even the cabin pillars behind him had been blasted through.
There were even traces of electric welding left on them, the pierced holes glowing red as the residual power had yet to fully dissipate.
The power was terrifying.
But even so,
Javier couldn't be certain whether Wesker was truly dead.
After all, regarding the ouroboros virus, Javier wasn't sure if it had any other special abilities.
Back then, even the The Pursuer with the Nemesis-α Parasite had to be blown up several times before dying.
In the end, it took a full blast from the railgun to completely turn it into a pile of mush. Therefore, Javier couldn't be sure if Wesker was dead.
And after this blast from the electromagnetic particle cannon,
the battery on Javier's back also began to emit a charred smell. Clearly, the power consumption was extremely heavy; another two shots and the battery would likely bulge and fail.
Because although it was man-portable,
the actual number of shots was not many—only a brief three. Fortunately, Javier had his storage space.
Inside, he had three extra battery backpacks just in case. He was extremely cautious; after all, he was the most cautious man, someone who used to arm himself to the teeth just to clear a dungeon.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it..."
"I won't die. I won't die that easily. I will devour everything, devour every single thing entirely."
"I'm over here, Javier. It's not dead yet. Hurry up and finish it off. Don't let it run away, or it will devour everything to nourish its injured body."
On the other side,
just as Javier was still guessing whether the mutated Wesker was dead, a raspy, resentful voice suddenly rang out. The half-face of the remaining head let out a hideous, vengeful hiss, cursed everything around it.
The remaining shred of Wesker's sanity, however, hurriedly spoke up to draw the attention of Javier and the others. Regardless of his own life or death, Wesker was unwilling to let this damn virus replace him as the Creator.
If this head couldn't speak for itself,
Wesker might have been able to counterattack Javier and the others, but unfortunately... the head could talk, which greatly increased Wesker's resolve to kill himself!
"Over there—?!"
*Click... vrrr vrrr—!!!!*
The moment he heard the voice,
Javier didn't hesitate and immediately aimed the heavy electromagnetic particle cannon in his hands. At this moment, Wesker's head had already begun to undergo an extremely horrifying and eerie change, completely violating the law of conservation of energy.
