Chapter 570: Earth: Heartless Scientist

-----

"Well, it is for a reason that the organization keeps us hidden… Country governments only want us for experiments, at least the organization offers protection in exchange for our help…" Said Lucia.

Espers…

The knowledge about them that Chris had was limited, but from what he knew… they were like Lucia, people "gifted" with powers.

Well, there were two types of Espers in the world.

Those that were born with abilities and either always had them or awakened them after reaching maturity… they were called Natural Espers.

Or people that was modified through genetic engineering to acquire Esper-like abilities from Natural Espers genes transplantation, they were called Synthetic Espers.

Lucia at the side of Chris was a Natural Esper, a woman born with the power to control flames since a young age. Due to her ability, she created many accidents, and had to run away from home over the fear of one day burning her entire family by accident.

Due to this, she lived a miserable life surviving in the streets and running away from those that wanted her power and to control her as a tool.

Until an agent of the Organization found her and gave her shelter.

Of course, the Organization that Chris worked for wouldn't adopt children, and although they wouldn't experiment with her, they asked her for blood samples and then decided to train her as a soldier, an Esper Soldier.

In exchange for protection, shelter, and more through her childhood, she was going to pay them back by working as one of their first ever Esper Agents.

And after the supernatural incidents regarding the break of subject 0, Miranda, who had caused disasters everywhere and even took the life of many innocent people, the agency decided that the best way to battle these aberrations was with someone equally supernatural…

"I see… I've heard a few things about you… I hope you don't lose your temper." Said Chris.

"It is part of the trigger of my abilities that I must get mad… But don't worry. I've learned long ago to control my own anger." Said Lucia.

"I-I see… (This woman is honestly a bit scary…)" said Chris.

The group lurked around the sewers, walking several meters underground, and even having to take down strange aberrations they found in there, mutated rats the size of dogs, and more, the result of the of genetic fluids thrown into the sewers.

…

Ivan Wesker looked into the journal at his hand, this little book contained various drawings and written letters and thoughts of Miranda's diary…

He often checked it and realized that she wasn't going through the best in these times… her drawings were honestly quite creepy, and her written letters seemed twisted, and filled with anguish and frustration.

But to the insane mind of Ivan Wesker, this looked like some funny scrabbles of a child, without realizing the deeper meaning behind them, he only recalled Miranda's innocence out of them.

"Don't you worry, Miranda… you will soon come back to me." He said while smiling.

Suddenly, the scientists reached Ivan in a hurry.

"S-Sir!"

"Hm? What is it now? Don't you see I am busy?" he asked angrily.

"We know that but… the system is not responding, we had been suddenly hacked!"

"What?!" asked Ivan in disbelief.

"T-The alarms, and most of the things within the building had been disabled, we had begun the usage of emergency energy to maintain Miranda stable, but…!"

"I believe someone might had infiltered this place!"

"That's impossible! This is an island protected by the North Korean government! You're telling me they managed to get past the large naval forces surrounding us?!" asked Ivan.

"I-I don't know but… what else could it be?!"

"We have to do something quickly!"

"A-Ah, the cameras! Look!"

Suddenly, Ivan lookd with shock as a large group of armed men began to infilter the building, shooting down the guards while a woman with red hair suddenly manipulated flames as if it were magic, burning through the cameras one by one while also setting ablaze anything that looked "important".

"D-d.a.m.n Organization!" muttered Ivan, hitting the table.

"Quickly, let's bring the helicopter, sir, there's still time for you to escape!"

"Yeah, we can always restart this project!"

Ivan angrily distorted his face, as he suddenly grasped the throat of one of the scientists!

"Do you think I would dare leave my Miranda behind?! I am tired of running away, I will confront them and kill them all here…" said Ivan.

"But sir, they probably have an anti-pathogen that could counter… your powers!" cried the scientist.

"Is that so? Then let's try to exhaust their ammunition." Said Ivan with a smile.

His entire body suddenly began to distort as enormous fleshy and red-colored tentacles began to emerge around his body, piercing through the bodies of all the scientists around him, and depositing strange worm-like parasites inside the wounds.

"Gruuuagggh…!"

"Gyyyeeehhh…!"

"W-What is thissssssss?!"

Ivan smiled as he waved his hand, throwing away the scientist as he saw his entire body being to bulge with strange tumors growing all over its body! This was but one of his abilities, the power to infect others with Uroboros, the virus that had taken over his body long ago!

In mere seconds he converted a dozen of scientists into amorphous and horrendous monsters, as he ordered them to go greet Chris and their friends, and to make sure to eat them well.

"Now go on, enjoy your first meals as my servants! And rejoice! You've been blessed with the wondrous power of a G.o.d!" laughed Ivan, the other surviving scientist had dropped over the floor while slowly crawling away from Ivan in horror.

They knew they were working with a complete lunatic, but they never expected that he would turn against his own people like this, the ones that had been helping him work in his crimes this entire time for the money he offered…

Was everyone just mere p.a.w.ns to him?

"My dear Miranda… I will make sure to defend you from these evil people that is trying to destroy our bond of love… We'll reach heaven together." He said with a smile.

He wanted to achieve G.o.dhood, and reach heaven!
