The Creator-Jenova! / Leave Request (Writer's Block) ...
This is likely primarily due to the Tendo Family, who hold high positions. Apart from the SCP Foundation's emergency counter-terrorism unit controlled by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the rest are probably out of luck.
To shake the Schrodinger Company, one must be prepared for a full-scale war with the Japanese political establishment, including the Self-Defense Forces...
Finally, the Schrodinger Company was able to subdue the ruthless figures on both Spencer's and Travis's sides probably indicates that Schrodinger Company holds far more trump cards in Japan than the [Deep Sea] Special Agent Group and the T-Virus enhanced humans.
The Imperial Army is only the force on the surface; there's also the little fanboy beside Thunder, Sephiroth outside the monolith...
These two exceptionally capable individuals, coupled with the recent overseas legends surrounding Schrodinger Company's "Black Grim Reaper" unit, demonstrate that the number of Shinra Special Forces within the Imperial Army is not small!
Black Winged Angel... Sephiroth... the Emanation of Divinity... Adam... the New Human Plan... are they going to pull another god-creation stunt?
Holy crap, judging from the past practices of the previous two companies, it's possible they really did something this unethical!
God my ass! God-slaying? I'm a professional! Once I figure out what's going on, I'll smash your dog heads in first!
Kevin took a deep breath and groaned in Affliction. More than ten years have passed, how come the human species just doesn't learn its lesson!
Seeing even the slightest opportunity, they dream of evolution and immortality, without even taking a good look at their own character and whether they even have the right to do so!
Forget it, if we're going to take action against Schrodinger Company, we need to plan step by step. Right now, rescuing Jill is the priority!
Deep in the Hida Mountains, we arrived...
Kevin glanced at the vast mountains below, then gently plummeted towards the spot where the signal had disappeared.
Soon, he found the coded message left by Jill Hera behind a tree. Judging from the crooked marks, the woman had obviously run into serious trouble and had been in a great hurry when she carved the message.
Kevin bent down and picked up two reddish withered leaves and a small clump of reddish soil, his expression serious.
And... he was injured...
Please, nothing can happen to you, Jill... Otherwise, not a single Schrodinger Company will survive!
Having spent months together, Kevin had long regarded the woman who liked to tease him as an older sister. His eyes sharpened, and he followed the trail, running wildly.
As they Pathway a thicket of bushes, Kevin suddenly slowed down, held his breath, and quietly parted the dense foliage on his left.
At the same time, a handsome face, as curious as a puppy's, pushed aside the obstruction and peered over, and the two couldn't help but meet each other's eyes.
In a moment of shock, the black gauntlets and the Shinra Standard Buster Sword separated and pressed against each other's throats.
While the two sides appeared evenly matched, what the opponent didn't know was that Kevin's Space Ability allowed him to perfectly create distance differences and launch a counterattack.
"Officer Zack, the 15-minute interval has expired. Have you made any progress?"
A rustling sound came from behind, the approaching footsteps interspersed with the soldiers' rhythmic questions.
"700 meters to the left, at the 8 o'clock position, I think I saw a shadow drifting overhead! You surround me from the side, tighten the circle, and I'll break through from the front!"
The handsome young man with spiky black hair, dressed in elite black armor bearing the Schrodinger Company logo, casually replied with feigned seriousness.
More than ten elite Earth Shinra Special Forces split into two teams and flanked the enemy from both sides.
Once the surrounding aura had completely dissipated, Kevin slowly retracted his boxing gloves, his expression somewhat curious.
"Zack, right? Shinra member? You seem to be helping me? Why?"
The handsome and cheerful young man with black hair sheathed his standard-issue longsword, his eyes always reflecting an optimistic smile towards the world.
"Probably because I want to do the right thing, to be a hero—it's a man's dream, there's no way around it..."
Kevin took a deep breath, his expression serious.
How can I trust you?
Zack shrugged and turned away quite casually.
"You're probably here for that beautiful woman who broke into the Shinra experimental base, right? Her name is Jill Hera?"
"What a coincidence, she was able to escape from there thanks to me and Cissnei..."
"If you don't want her to die, come with me now!"
Kevin pondered for a moment, and, confident in his abilities and his judgment of character, he started to follow.
Section 535, Chapter 508: Creator Jenova!
Zack Fair was an optimist who talked nonsense all the way and wasn't very focused. Through his narration, Kevin basically figured out what had happened.
This guy is a product of Schrodinger Company's second batch of [New Human Creation Project], and he's from the same hometown and generation as Cloud, the little fanboy next to Thunder.
Originally, he had been awarded a spot in the Imperial Army due to his outstanding academic performance. However, Zack was worried that his friend Cloud's shy personality might prevent him from completing the subsequent experiments.
Therefore, he voluntarily gave the spot to Cloud, helping him to be transferred to the relatively safer Imperial Army.
He voluntarily cooperated with Dr. Hojo, the project leader, and underwent further modifications, citing his desire to "surpass Shinra Sephiroth other elite warriors of Shinra's First Order and become a hero."
Because the modifications to the first-order Super Soldier were extremely Affliction, Zack almost couldn't endure them several times.
Fortunately, Cissnei, a female researcher who was responsible for assisting Dr. Hojo, always encouraged Zack and tried her best to alleviate his Affliction.
Finally, Zack not only successfully passed the experiment and was promoted to the first tier of Shinra Special Forces, his strength second only to Sephiroth and other first-generation test subjects.
Moreover, this optimistic guy even nurtured a romance with Cissnei during their time together, achieving success in both his career and love life.
Perhaps if he were content to serve Schrodinger Company, he would have everything.
Unfortunately, this guy happens to be an oddball with a strong sense of justice and a desire to become a hero.
Moreover, he knew very well that if they wanted to live a truly shameless and peaceful life with Cissnei, they had to escape the control of the Schrodinger Company.
Especially after the Seven Star Village incident, Zack, who had learned part of the truth from Cissnei, had been looking for an opportunity to expose Schrodinger Company's dark secrets to the public.
At this time, Jill Hera, who came to investigate the whole story of the Seven Star Village incident, accidentally made contact with the two and successfully stole some information.
Everything was going smoothly until, to everyone's surprise, the power behind Jill Hera, [Wild Serpent], made the incredibly foolish decision to send another awakened individual with Gene Lock Technology to stop this former young lady.
"That kid's name is Cain, Doctor Final's adopted son, and he's skilled in using gene-based poisons..."
"The main objective is to investigate the whereabouts of his foster mother, Mina, and incidentally, to retrieve his rebellious sister, Jill Hera. Yes, that's the exact wording..."
"When they first made contact in the Hida Mountains, Jill was caught off guard and was ambushed, leaving a trace. She was then forced back into the mountains by the Shinra Special Forces..."
"If it weren't for the map Cissnei, Jill probably wouldn't even have been able to run around with the Shinra Special Forces."
When Zack was explaining the situation, he was somewhat speechless, as he couldn't quite understand the melodramatic family drama that [Wild Serpent] was making.
At a time like this, Doctor Final is still thinking about upholding his father's dignity?
Do you really think Schrodinger Company was unaware of the Seven Star Village incident, and that you bunch of Siberia permafrost rats were involved?
If the [New Human Creation Project] weren't at a critical stage, and if Project Leader Hojo didn't desperately need a mature sample like Sephiroth, the Shinra Special Forces overseas would have already wiped out your base!
Even so, Schrodinger Company's other force, the Deepsea Special Agents organization, and the Travis Family behind them, have already begun to take action against you.
Even when facing certain death, he's still acting tough within his own circle. No wonder he'll always just be a researcher who's manipulated by others.
Cain... Son of Adam, the progenitor of vampires... Jill Hera... named after Hera, the goddess of the gods in ancient Greek mythology...
As expected of a researcher who once served Schicksal, the names he gave his adopted son and daughter are all in the style of the Gods Seat Series.
Just how obsessed are you people with portraying humans as gods?
Kevin pondered carefully, his lips twitching involuntarily. Confirming that Jill Hera was safe for the time being, he asked, wanting to obtain more information.
"How's that kid named Cain doing?"
Zack wore a gloating expression, a hint of amusement in it.
"Wanting to compete for her sister's favor, she secretly plotted to kill Jill Hera..."
"As a result, because they didn't understand the situation, they became scapegoats. The Shinra Special Forces still think that the person who infiltrated the research institute to steal data... was him..."
A moment later, Zack smacked his lips, somewhat regretful.
"Unfortunately, their strength is too weak; at best, they can only hold their own against the top-tier Shinra Special Forces of the second tier..."
"They were captured by Sephiroth and his men in less than half a day..."
"Moreover, he was born rebellious. When he was sent to Dr. Hojo. Hojo, in order to survive, he changed fathers in just one day and sold his older sister along the way..."
"Otherwise, I might be able to send Jill Hera away."
Kevin was both amused and exasperated, and also felt a little sorry for Jill Hera having such an oddball family member.
"Cain, the murderer of his brother Abel, a patricide and a traitor—that name says it all..."
With Kevin's response, the rather outgoing Zack couldn't help but nod in agreement.
As they approached the mountain pass, Kevin looked up and asked quietly.
"Why choose to believe me? There must be a reason, right?"
Zack pointed to his head and spread his fingers.
"The information your Sister Jill gave me told me to keep an eye on that area. Otherwise, why would a top-tier Shinra Special Forces like me go to such a godforsaken place?"
"Also... intuition... a very strange intuition..."
At this moment, Zack's expression turned solemn, and a pair of black wings slowly fluttered behind him, emanating an aura similar to Sephiroth's.
"I don't know why, but I always find the wings on your back more pleasing to the eye..."
"Alright, kid, I'll tell you a little more inside information..."
"As far as Cissnei and I know, the Gastrea Invasion is a deliberate attempt by Schrodinger Company to expand the scale of the damage; they hope to spread the Gastrea Virus throughout the ecosystem..."
"It seems that the goal has been achieved in three months. This is also the first step of the [New Humans Modification Project]. They are creating suitable hosts to serve as containers."
"The second phase of the attack will begin soon..."
"According to the oracle, this crisis comes from heaven; you must be careful!"
An oracle? Kevin looked confused. Could it be that Schrodinger Company had really found or made contact with a deity in ancient ruins?
Zack noticed Kevin's confusion, and after furtively looking around to make sure no one was watching, he quietly put his arm around the boy's shoulder and whispered something in his ear.
"Cissnei and I don't have enough authority to access the core secrets. We only managed to find two names that were mentioned cryptically on several occasions from Dr. Hojo's scattered records."
"Creator... Jenova!"
P. S.: The Creator is the final boss mentioned in Final Fantasy XIII, similar to a creator god.
Jenova, belonging to Final Fantasy VII, is a perfect alien parasitic life form. The author merged the two into one to ensure a smooth storyline.
The first phase of the Gastrea.
The second phase of natural disasters can be referenced from the CG movie "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children". Any ideas can be found in the comments.
Furthermore, the final battle in the third phase will remain a secret for now.
There probably aren't many people who have played or watched Final Fantasy, so I've tried my best to make the plot simple and easy to understand.
There are currently 23 - 2 = 21 chapters owed.
Section 536 Leave of Absence Form (Kaven)
Recently, the Final Fantasy storyline has started loading, and some readers have reported that they don't quite understand it. This might be due to the somewhat mixed elements; the author needs to sort it out and figure out a smoother transition. I'll probably update four times on the 11th. If the transition isn't smooth later on, I'll move on to the Honkai Impact 3rd storyline in Shenzhou as soon as possible. According to a previous group poll, the Honkai Impact 3rd storyline in Shenzhou will likely incorporate figures from Chinese mythology. Characters like Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, Kallen, and Xiao Yun should make appearances.
Chapter 509, Section 537: Prime Time Slot
After parting ways with Zack and entering a secluded cave, Kevin finally met Jill Hera, whom he had been quite worried about.
At this moment, the Doll-head Mature Woman was not in good condition. She was covered in cold sweat, her face was pale, and she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth and curse.
"Shot by Cain, a bullet with gene-tearing capabilities..."
Jill Hera struggled a few times, but in the end, she could only lie on the somewhat damp stone slab.
"Then don't move!"
