Then Wesker would likely break free from the shackles of the world line, completely becoming the first blue butterfly and directly changing his own fate.
By obtaining the powerful strength bestowed by the ouroboros virus, he would truly become a creator possessing extraordinary power.
Between the two, Javier much preferred the former.
If he gets bigger, so be it. There was plenty of ammunition in his storage space arsenal; taking it all out for a bombardment should be enough to deal heavy damage to Wesker.
At worst, Wesker would just turn into a giant sea monster.
As long as the BSAA's positioning satellites had eyes, they should be able to discover this giant monster on the African sea.
When that time came, as long as he could stall until the BSAA dispatched an air force unit to bomb the area, it would be a perfect conclusion.
But if it were the latter...
A Wesker who obtained the power of the ouroboros virus while maintaining his sanity would likely be a disaster for the world; no one would be able to block his path.
Javier could only pack up his organization and flee, taking Lisa, Sherry, Ada, and the others to Greenland and Iceland, the lights of humanity, to seek refuge.
Those lands of ice and snow could curb the spread of the virus.
Furthermore, very few creatures lived there, which would greatly reduce viral infection. The year-round snowfall would also freeze the moisture in the air; perhaps the virus wouldn't even be able to drift to the Northern Hemisphere...
Of course, these were all worst-case scenarios.
For now, it still depended on what Wesker would eventually become. After all, his fusion process with the ouroboros virus was now unstoppable.
He could only pray that Wesker wasn't that lucky. After all, Javier didn't even know if he could leave this freighter alive.
"Javier..."
"What on earth did Wesker do...?!"
Looking at Wesker, who was constantly twisting and struggling in pain before him, Chris's expression was also very unsettled as he hurriedly pulled Javier to continue questioning him.
It was obvious they still hadn't realized how serious the situation before them was. If the three of them, as ordinary people, continued to stay here, they would all die.
Even the protagonist group had no solution at the moment. After all, Wesker had already exceeded the scope of a conventional boss.
The small pistols held by Chris and the others were completely useless. Other than being a hindrance, they served no purpose, which was why Javier wanted them to leave first.
"Don't ask, Chris..."
"Listen to me and leave quickly, otherwise you're all going to die here. Alexia and I will stall Wesker; you guys go first."
"Jill... you take Chris and Sheva and go. If you don't leave now, there will only be death. You know my character; I don't make empty threats. Go—!"
Ignoring Chris's questioning,
Javier turned his gaze to Jill behind him. Compared to a persistent guy like Chris, Jill was easier to talk to.
Moreover, Jill was already weary of her BSAA career; she couldn't die here for no reason. At the same time, Jill understood Javier's character.
He wouldn't say such things casually. Since he wanted them to leave, it meant they could not help at all, and staying would even be a hindrance.
Thinking of this...
Jill did not hesitate. She nodded and quickly pulled Chris and Sheva to leave!
"..."
Seeing Chris, Jill, and the others completely escape toward the upper deck of the freighter, Javier finally breathed a slow sigh of relief.
Next, it was up to fate.
If Wesker successfully completed the fusion with the ouroboros virus and his strength surpassed Lisa's, then they would have to run too.
After all, Javier was no great hero; he was also afraid of death. He didn't want to shoulder the burden if the sky fell. Taking his wife and children and running immediately was the most correct choice!
"..."
"What, are you not choosing to escape?"
Seeing Javier's relieved look, Alexia suddenly walked to Javier's side and spoke to ask.
She had witnessed everything just now.
After Javier's power erupted and he was captured, Alexia had intended to help, but she was preempted by Chris and the others who stopped him with the medicinal syringe.
Later, Javier used the PG67 agent for a sneak-attack injection, and Wesker became like this. For a moment, the situation changed too quickly.
She hadn't reacted in time either.
Now she could only watch Wesker's transformation with her own eyes. Wesker's current life energy reaction was too terrifying; it was heart-palpitating.
Alexia also understood that Wesker had entered a new level, and she was no longer his match.
Now, the only person who could stop Wesker was Lisa... no, perhaps even Lisa couldn't stop him. The situation had worsened to the extreme—!
"No, I will run, but I have to see the situation first."
"If Wesker's strength is something even Lisa cannot stop, then I will flee to the ends of the earth and enjoy whatever days of life I have left."
Looking at Alexia's inquiry beside him, Javier let out a deep sigh and replied. This time he might really fail; this was the first time the butterfly effect had caused such a massive change!
"Heh heh heh..."
"Gurgle gurgle...!!!"
Snapping back to reality,
Wesker had already begun to evolve. Accompanied by the continuous, strange gasping sounds, Javier's and Alexia's hearts were in their throats.
Their eyes were fixed on Wesker, who was already submerged in a pool of blood, fearing that he would truly complete a perfect fusion with the ouroboros virus...
If that happened,
then the end of the world would truly be here—!
"Gurgle gurgle..."
The strange sounds continued as a large amount of black blood flowed from Wesker's chest, forming a massive pool of blood on the ground.
But so far, not a single Ouroboros split-body had burst out from Wesker's body, even though his muscles were bulging in and out like rubber.
But in the end, he endured and did not burst.
This was good news for Wesker.
It meant he had withstood the first stage of fusion. If he hadn't even survived the first stage, his body would have immediately turned into mush.
"..."
"Ngh—!!!"
Suddenly,
something surprising happened. Wesker, who was clearly being consumed by the power of the progenitor virus and the ouroboros virus, suddenly let out a muffled groan at this moment.
This caused Javier and Alexia to furrow their brows. This scumbag wouldn't actually succeed, would he?!
"Pfft...!!!"
"Gurgle gurgle..."
However,
in the next second, an anomaly occurred again. Wesker's body suddenly burst open, and a mass of tumors continuously spread out.
His limbs and torso expanded continuously.
Countless splatters of black blood erupted from his left shoulder, and Ouroboros split-bodies finally couldn't help but gush out, beginning to twist and struggle frantically.
But miraculously, they could not separate from Wesker's body, as if they were parasite tentacles tightly trapped within him.
As for the left shoulder, it became incredibly massive, and an orange-red bulbous core emerged. The entire arm's muscles began to harden, and even bony claws grew out.
The body below also began to grow thick and sturdy. Wesker, who was originally only about 1.8 meters tall, completely surged to over two meters.
It was a physique almost identical to that of a T-103 Tyrant.
And that face, which had already turned black, saw the blood color recede and return to normal. Wesker suddenly opened his eyes; one was his crimson vertical pupil, while the other was a yellow eyeball.
It began to look around uncontrollably.
There was a small black dot in the middle.
Undoubtedly, this eyeball was not Wesker's eye, but the eye of the progenitor virus and ouroboros virus inside his body.
"..."
"Wait, we can still be saved—!!!"
On the other side,
Javier looked at Wesker's familiar posture and couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer. After all the twists and turns, Javier had thought Wesker had truly completed the fusion with the ouroboros virus.
But he didn't expect Wesker's luck to still be poor, and in the end, he only achieved a semi-fused state. This was the best news for Javier.
The Great Dao has fifty paths, heaven's derivation is forty-nine, leaving one that escapes...
Javier felt this saying was truly wonderful at this moment. He was very familiar with the state Wesker was displaying.
Wasn't this the posture William had shown in the G-Virus underground Institute? G1 William and the current Wesker were exactly the same.
That was why Javier said they could be saved.
It seemed the Resident Evil world itself didn't want to end so soon and gave them a little chance to struggle.
The current Wesker was in a semi-fused state.
He hadn't lost his sanity, but he wasn't a human semi-fusion either. He could control his own reason, but half of him was a monsterized body.
After this, if Wesker's luck was good,
he would continue to evolve and transform into a true creator. If his luck was bad, he would turn into an Ouroboros monster.
Although the outcome remained unchanged,
it still depended on luck, but Wesker's power was much reduced. After all, it was a semi-fusion and hadn't reached an unmatchable level yet.
"Crack, crack..."
"So this is my new body. It seems the fusion wasn't one hundred percent successful, and there is a slight flaw."
"But fortunately, I still retain my original sanity. It's neither a failure nor a success. Javier... do you think I should be grateful or disappointed?"
Standing up slowly, Wesker moved his body a bit.
While feeling this new body and the vast power within it, he suddenly turned his gaze toward Javier and Alexia and asked calmly.
Except, as soon as he spoke, Wesker was immediately stunned.
Because there were two voices; one was his own original voice, and the other was an incredibly raspy and heavy voice.
It was as if it were the first time using vocal cords to speak and it hadn't completely learned how yet. This caused Wesker, whose mood was originally quite good, to suddenly freeze.
He hurriedly lowered his head, relying on the reflection of the black blood flowing on the ground. He immediately saw his appearance clearly.
"Heh heh..."
That half of his face was covered in bloody scars and wrinkles, with black vascular patterns distributed over it. One of the eyeballs was orange-yellow, with a tiny black dot in the middle.
This eyeball seemed to have its own consciousness, turning randomly and observing the surroundings everywhere, just like a newborn baby who had just opened its eyes.
It was looking at this newborn world with immense curiosity. And because of Wesker's self-deprecation, the corner of his mouth pulled into an incredibly terrifying and stiff smile.
This caused Wesker's heart to sink.
What kind of monster had he fused with? Even one of his eyeballs was no longer his own, yet he could not detect anything unusual.
Wesker could be one hundred percent certain,
that the other half of his face was definitely not himself, especially that randomly turning yellow eyeball; it was a total monster.
So... this was the price—?!
The price of fusing the progenitor virus and the ouroboros virus. Even though he didn't become a mass of mush, he still paid the price of half his soul.
