William raised his hand to rub his eyes, then looked at the computer screen again.
There was no mistake; this was a combination of Gundam and EVA.
The concept art was based on John's mech, and the six rhombus-shaped fins on its left shoulder and back looked exactly like Nu Gundam's Fin Funnels.
Paired with the 'beam saber' held in the mech's right hand, it was essentially a super-sized version of Gundam.
Just then,
Halsey had no intention of keeping him in suspense. She raised a hand and pointed at the computer screen, explaining to William:
"Didn't the Hive develop a new type of battlecruiser last year? I found the ship's beam weapon system very interesting, so I used it to upgrade the 'God Body's' equipment."
"(Pointing at the six rhombus-shaped items) The 'Funnel Drone' weapon system allows the Spartans operating the God Body to control these folded drones via neural links."
"During intense combat, if the Spartan is unable to control them, the drones can also be handed over to Cortana for assistance."
"They can unleash particle beams no weaker than a cruiser's, capable of forming a 'laser net' to eliminate enemies of equal or even larger size than the God Body."
"The only drawback is the rapid energy consumption. The power stored in each Fin Funnel can only support it for a maximum of fourteen particle beam shots."
"After exhausting their energy, they need to quickly return to the God Body for recharging."
"However, with each mech carrying six Fin Funnels, capable of eighty-four beam strikes, this shortcoming should be effectively compensated."
"After all, as one of your famous sayings goes, 'quantity is also truth,' right?"
'They really are Fin Funnels.'
Listening to Halsey's explanation, William secretly sighed with emotion again.
After regaining his composure, he nodded repeatedly, a very satisfied expression on his face, and gave Halsey a thumbs-up, praising, "That's amazing, my Catherine."
Halsey merely smiled faintly. After being together for so long, she had grown accustomed to William occasionally spouting some off-the-wall remarks.
She then continued to explain, "As for the particle beam weapon in the God Body's hand, its appearance clearly indicates it's a 'beam saber,' used to replace the original vibration dagger."
"As for the God Bodies' main weapons, they are still continuously up-sized Gauss rapid-fire cannons, and Karl and Jerome's electromagnetic acceleration sniper cannons."
"In terms of instantaneous armor penetration, Gauss or electromagnetic cannons still have the advantage."
"Kinetic and thermal weapons each have their pros and cons, so using them in combination is the best approach."
As Halsey's perfect 'listener,' William nodded appropriately and chimed in with, "Mmm-hmm."
Subsequently,
Halsey manipulated the computer again, and the concept art on the screen changed, replaced by the God Body with some kind of 'backpack' added to its back.
William saw several rocket-like or heavy frigate-tail-like thrusters on the underside of the 'backpack.'
His eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Is this a propulsion system prepared for the God Body? Which means...!"
"That's right."
Halsey pulled her chair closer to William and said, "The God Body can also operate in space."
Changing the subject, she continued, "Of course, the God Body needs to be transported to space by the fleet and then operate in conjunction with the fleet."
"The appearance of anomalies like the 'Thing' confirms that other civilizations must exist in the universe as we know it."
"If we encounter a civilization that fights with large-scale fleets, then Umbrella's fleet and the God Body can still contend with them, but if we encounter a civilization that can break through dimensions..."
At this point, Halsey's expression darkened, and she unconsciously caressed her abdomen, sighing, "Humanity can only pray for good fortune."
"It's alright," William placed his hand on her shoulder and said with a gentle smile:
"Doesn't the successful establishment of the asteroid colony mean that humanity has its last refuge? As long as the flame isn't extinguished, there will always be opportunities."
"And I believe those civilizations that have broken through dimensional restraints wouldn't even care for our 'little broken planet.' Just talking about water..."
"Europa has more than twice the amount of Earth's."
"As for mineral resources..."
"The asteroid belt is countless."
"And..."
As he spoke, William raised his hand again and pinched Halsey's slightly plump cheek, chuckling deeply, "I believe that if we truly encounter a hostile civilization, you'll definitely have a solution."
Hearing William always placing such great trust in her,
Halsey also laughed, shaking her head and saying helplessly, "You... do you really see me as omnipotent?"
"Of course!" William looked at the computer screen and said, "You always bring me surprises, like creating Tyrants with the T-virus, and then bringing Mjolnir and Hrunding to life one by one."
"More importantly, the Paris-class frigates are the main component of our fleet."
"It's because of your existence that Umbrella has been able to develop so smoothly until now."
"Alright then." Halsey, just like before, raised her hand and poked William's side waist, saying, "I have another surprise to tell you."
"Oh? Have you developed some new weapon again? Or a certain serum?" William guessed.
"Neither." Halsey shook her head gently, then looked at her lower abdomen, her face beaming with unstoppable happiness as she said:
"Actually... I'm pregnant."
"Oh, so you're pregnant."
William, who had expected Umbrella to add new weapons, was a little disappointed.
Wait a minute.
Pregnant?
Something wasn't right.
"Catherine... are you saying... you're pregnant?" William asked, his lips trembling slightly.
Seeing William's somewhat overwhelmed reaction, Halsey couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, then pulled a pregnancy test stick from her lab coat pocket and handed it to him.
Taking the pregnancy test, William saw the clear two lines.
Positive.
His expression then went from disbelief to astonishment, and finally, excitement.
"Hahahahaha!"
William laughed, tossing the pregnancy test aside, and abruptly stood up, sweeping Halsey into a bridal carry. He excitedly spun her around, exclaiming, "Catherine, am I really going to be a father? Really?"
"Of course!" Halsey pinched William's chest, pouting and complaining, "The pregnancy test result might not be accurate, but I also had a urine pregnancy test and hormone checks, so I'm definitely pregnant."
"That's wonderful!" William kissed Halsey on the forehead, then kissed her lips.
As for why William was so happy...
It was because ever since their last trip to the Wine Sea Resort, they hadn't used 'raincoats' during their intimacy.
But after half a year, Halsey's belly showed no signs, and William had even started to doubt if he was 'incapable.'
He even asked the system if Wesker's physical condition affected fertility, and the answer was no, which made William even more puzzled.
And today, his long-standing knot in his heart was finally untied.
Moreover, with the crystallization of him and her growing within Halsey, how could William not be excited?
