"You and these humans will all become my food. Didn't you want to release the ouroboros virus so badly? I will fulfill your wish."
"When the time comes, I will release the ouroboros virus and infect the entire world. Then, the whole world will be my breeding ground. Humans... will be nothing more than shells for the virus to multiply!"
At this very moment,
upon hearing Wesker's command, the ouroboros virus hidden within his body immediately let out a rasping, mocking laugh.
Its yellow eyeballs darted around as it slowly raised its palm. With a squelch, an Ouroboros Fragment lunged out from within.
Even though it was only a semi-finished product,
its current power was already enough to devour the entire world. Once it completely consumed Wesker, its power would reach an even higher level, and the two powerful life-form energy signatures outside would be no match for it.
Watching Wesker muttering to himself, the atmosphere felt exceptionally eerie, as if two personalities—one good and one evil—were contained within a single shell.
This sight made Alexia extremely irritable.
Wesker had been difficult enough to deal with before, and now that he had taken on this form, she somewhat regretted boarding Javier's sinking ship.
Of course... it was mostly jealousy.
Her T-Veronica Virus was becoming increasingly useless. Seeing that she was about to be surpassed by these guys, Alexia's heart grew even more restless!
*Squelch...*
*Boom boom boom—!!!*
And so,
Alexia didn't hesitate for a second. She instantly used her old tricks, raising both hands as blood sprayed from her palms. A ball of scorching flame suddenly roared forth in a turbulent surge.
The rolling heat wave, like the dragon breath of a red dragon, slammed into the mutated Wesker. Alexia intended to first test the mutated Wesker's depth.
If she really couldn't win,
then she would truly have to pack up and run. After all, Alexia didn't want to stay here and seek her own death; she had her own selfish motives.
She followed Javier's orders because of the G Embryo parasitic within her and her desire to study Lisa.
But now...
When truly faced with death, Alexia would still slip away as quickly as possible when she had to.
After all, even a married couple are birds of the same forest who fly their separate ways when disaster strikes, let alone Alexia and Lisa, who weren't even a couple.
"Hmph..."
"A trivial trick. Do you still think I'm the same trash as before?"
A raspy, low voice emerged from Wesker's throat. His dark face trembled slightly, and his yellow eyes glared.
With a body comparable to a Tyrant, Wesker suddenly swung his arm violently. From his core arm, which was covered in orange-red pustules, a glob of black blood suddenly sprayed out.
This black blood immediately created friction upon contact with the air, and a ball of sinister black fire also erupted forth.
*Boom boom boom—!!!*
It collided violently with Alexia's crimson flames, and a rolling heat wave swept outward. Having gained the power of the ouroboros virus, the mutated Wesker also possessed the power to manipulate fire.
Moreover, his black flames were several times stronger than Alexia's. After the two flames had been in contact for less than a few seconds, Alexia's were instantly suppressed by the mutated Wesker's black flames.
Alexia's crimson flames retreated step by step.
This made Alexia's expression look very ugly. Damn it... I was the first person to fuse with the T-Veronica Virus.
I'm even a perfect match. Why is it that you latecomers can all surpass me in power?!
Regarding this result,
Alexia was extremely dissatisfied. As the first one to take the risk, she didn't get any extra benefits,
but was instead easily surpassed by these rivals one by one.
Only Alexia herself knew how frustrated she felt. The feeling of being obsolete was not pleasant.
"Hehe..."
"It's not just flames; I have other methods as well. I told you... the virus in your body is already outdated junk."
Seeing Alexia easily suppressed, two voices emerged from the mutated Wesker's throat again—intermittent, sometimes low and raspy, sometimes full of mockery and playfulness.
Javier could guarantee that
the former was said by the ouroboros virus, and the latter was definitely said by Wesker. After all, besides Wesker, no one would constantly mock Alexia's T-Veronica Virus as outdated junk.
And because of this,
Javier was a bit unable to distinguish
what was going on with Wesker. Was he rejecting this power or rejoicing in it? This state of being both god and demon in a single thought was indeed very strange.
*Swish swish swish—!!!*
But soon,
in the next second, Wesker immediately launched a surprise attack on Alexia. The Ouroboros split-bodies erupting from his shoulder shot out rapidly, dense and numerous.
They spread toward Alexia's body from all directions, dripping with thick black blood. These were not ordinary tentacles,
but split-bodies of the ouroboros virus.
They were covered with the ouroboros virus. Once touched... Alexia was also very likely to be infected. These were extremely dangerous things!
With just a simple exchange,
their blood-flames collided, and the victor was decided immediately. Alexia was simply no match for the mutated Wesker.
Before, they could still fight to a draw,
but now she didn't even have the ability to fight back. It could be said that the tables had turned completely.
At the same time,
seeing the Ouroboros split-bodies from Wesker's shoulder shooting toward her, Alexia had no choice.
She could only quickly withdraw the crimson flames in her hands and turn her aim, directing the fire breath toward the Ouroboros split-bodies.
There was no other way...
These split-bodies infected with the ouroboros virus were far more dangerous than those black flames. Once touched, one could easily be devoured.
Alexia would rather die than turn into a mess of black noodles, and she certainly didn't want to be parasitized and controlled by a mere virus like Wesker.
*Sizzle...!*
The crimson flames roasted the incoming Ouroboros split-bodies. High temperature remained one of the natural enemies and banes of these Ouroboros split-bodies.
After all, the mutated Wesker had only completed a partial fusion, not a truly perfect one. Therefore, his flaws had not been truly eliminated yet.
Even that orange-red core pustule remained. As long as that thing existed, it meant that Wesker still had the possibility of being defeated.
However,
since Alexia had turned the aim of her blood-flame spray toward the Ouroboros split-bodies, it meant that no one could withstand the mutated Wesker's terrifying black flames.
The eerie black fire penetrated the ordinary crimson flames in the blink of an eye and instantly swarmed onto Alexia's body.
"Ugh... Aaaahhh...!!!!"
A shrill scream of agony rang out.
As soon as the black fire approached, a terrifying heat wave slammed into her. Alexia immediately tried to retreat and escape,
but the black fire spread even faster.
In the blink of an eye, it quickly touched Alexia's body—that grey-green, bark-like wrinkled form.
Suffering from the burning of such scorching black fire, Alexia couldn't hold on for a moment, and a cry of pain escaped her lips.
"Get off...!!!"
Looking over,
Alexia discovered that half of her body had already disappeared, completely burned away by the black flames.
Moreover, the black fire showed no sign of extinguishing.
It continued to corrode her body, as if it wanted to gnaw her away entirely. Seeing this, Alexia couldn't help but curse angrily.
She hurriedly extended her right hand, grew sharp nails, and sliced off half of her torso. Only then did she escape the fire's corrosion and manage to flee.
*Sizzle...*
The sliced-off half of her body fell to the ground. The black fire burned the remaining flesh until it turned entirely to ash before slowly disappearing.
Seeing this, a deep sense of dread rose in Alexia's heart. This black fire was actually so malicious and strange.
It wouldn't stop until it had completely devoured the person touched by the flames. It was hundreds of times stronger than her crimson blood-flame.
This filled Alexia's heart with envy and jealousy once again. It was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others. As fellow holders of the T-Veronica Virus, was the gap really this large?
If she could escape alive this time,
Alexia planned to no longer worry about the constraints of the G-Virus embryo in her body. No matter what, she would devour the G-Virus to strengthen her own power.
Otherwise, if things continued like this,
she would become the weakest virus-fused individual. This was unacceptable to Alexia, who had once been a favored child of heaven.
Who could accept a former genius turning into a pile of refuse? Alexia was naturally no exception!
However,
fortunately, her body's recovery ability was quite good.
The half of her body that had just been burned away was now starting to slowly heal. After all, the recovery ability of the T-Veronica Virus was among the best.
It just wasn't as tenacious as the G-Virus. The G-Virus belonged to the type that got stronger as it fought. Every time you killed it,
it could become even stronger through its next evolution, possessing the possibility of infinite evolution. Isn't that right, Agito...!
"Hey, Javier!"
"This guy is simply impossible to fight. We'd better escape quickly. If you choose to keep being stubborn,"
"I won't be able to keep accompanying you. I almost died just now. If it really gets dangerous, I'm really going to run."
Recalling the black fire and Ouroboros split-bodies that Wesker had just released, Alexia only felt a chill rise in her heart.
Seeing that her body's injuries had finished recovering, Alexia hurriedly turned to the nearby Javier and spoke to persuade him.
She didn't want to keep playing along,
because this guy Wesker simply couldn't be beaten. Alexia could judge that just from their brief exchange.
The difference in their virus levels was on an entirely different scale; the opponent had the ability to completely obliterate her.
And Alexia had no way to deal with Wesker.
Under such circumstances, Alexia didn't dare to keep betting. If she lost everything later, it would be all over.
So now Alexia had only one thought,
and that was to quickly take this bastard Javier and escape. Although they couldn't beat Wesker, they could barely manage to escape. At least Wesker had no way to stop them.
However,
faced with this suggestion, Javier didn't answer immediately.
Because Javier still wanted to keep trying. Thinking this... Javier took advantage of the time while Alexia was still drawing Wesker's attention
and immediately took out the ultimate weapon from the bottom of his storage space. It was a futuristic weapon with a sci-fi style.
A white gun body,
covered in various sci-fi patterns, with a rotating black roller in the middle and a long muzzle at the front, which was empty inside.
It didn't look like an ordinary firearm,
but it was embedded with various alloys and was exceptionally heavy. From a distance, it looked like a chainsaw, with a black power cable at the end.
And it was connected to a portable white battery backpack. The appearance of this weapon was quite comical,
as strange as a lawnmower, but this was Javier's ultimate weapon: a man-portable Electromagnetic Particle Cannon—!
