How Shameless Can You Be? (Bonus Chapter) / Let Me Correct You: I'm an Angel (Bonus Chapter)

"To eliminate any dissenting voices within our ranks, we resorted to kidnapping, blackmail, and assassination—we went to any lengths..."

"To ensure that more people can harmlessly fuse with Jenova Cells, allowing the Creator Jenova to perfectly descend, we are launching the Gastrea Virus experiment in Seven Star Village..."

"That's right, since the birth of Schrodinger Company, every pore of our body has been dripping with filthy blood!"

"But are you really clean?"

The Shinra President looked at him with a mocking expression, pulled out a series of detailed data, and gave a slight sneer.

"Of the extracted Mako Energy, 50% is used to maintain the operation of the Four Islands of Japan, 40% of the profits flow back to the Japanese market, and only about 10% is used for research on various derivative weapons..."

"We have created a miracle of development, enabling the Japanese economy, which was on the verge of collapse, to rise again! We have created countless jobs and fed 127 million people!"

"All Japanese citizens are beneficiaries, enjoying the profits brought by Schrodinger Company."

"In this world, you either become a wolf or a sheep; if you don't eat people, others will eat you!"

"For the survival of Four Islands of Japan, Shinra is willing to be the wolf that hunts sheep, while you are the parasites that live on the carcasses of your prey, eating rotten flesh and drinking filthy blood!"

Ultimately, we are all man-eating Beast; in this slaughter, no one is innocent.

"Otherwise, why would Schrodinger Company be so successful in Japan despite all the negative news from the outside world?"

"Why would those two-faced politicians go to such lengths to promote the integration of the government and Schrodinger Company?"

"They must live! And we, Shinra, have built a ladder for Japan to reach the throne!"

"Now that we have quietly put the Japanese people on the train to Eden, they have an obligation to jump off the train and pave the way for this country with their bodies when the stairs break!"

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, Lufus momentarily speechless and unable to respond.

Just then, a sudden, crisp applause rang out, and Kevin, leaning against the doorway, looked on in amazement.

"What a brilliant speech! I was almost moved by the president's dedication to the country and its people. Lufus, you're still too young; you should learn from him..."

Immediately, the White-haired Shota stepped into the room, smiling and asking curiously.

"May I ask, given that you've sucked the blood of the entire world and stolen so much Mako Energy, all of which you've transported to Japan, how long until the four main islands sink?"

The arrogance on Shinra President's face instantly froze, his muscles twitched violently, his lips tightened, and he was somewhat speechless.

"It's actually faster, right?"

Kevin murmured softly, examining his fingernails, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You're in such a hurry to bring forth the Creator Jenova because the time for Japan's sinking is already very close."

"How long exactly? Let me guess... a month? Half a month? A week? Five days...?"

Kevin's sharp gaze scrutinized the Shinra President's expression, and when he clearly uttered several time-related words, the old man's eyelids twitched violently.

"Only three days..."

After guessing the exact time, the boy couldn't help but furrow his brow, his expression turning cold.

"The Four Islands of Japan, which would normally take more than 20 years to sink, will be gone in about 10 years thanks to your actions!"

Do you know why?

P. S.: I'm continuing to write, and I've finally sorted out some of my thoughts. I'll try to add two more chapters.

Chapter 524 (Bonus Chapter) - How Shameless Is It?

"The entire Earth is a complete ecosystem. Your rampant extraction of Mako Energy from various regions has caused an imbalance in the planet's defense mechanisms..."

"So, when a protective film is subjected to uniform force, where will it crack first?"

Kevin asked coldly, and the Shinra President, whose expression was ashen, immediately realized the problem.

Of course, Japan, situated at a key point in space, will be the first to suffer disaster!

A planet's Self-Defense System is inherently interconnected; while Schrodinger Company's delivery of Mako Energy to Japan may bring temporary prosperity, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Like oil being poured on a raging fire and flowers blooming in profusion, the rebound of disaster will intensify until it reduces this "malignant tumor" that sucks the Four Islands of Japan's energy to ashes.

Kevin chuckled coldly; by this point, most of the mysteries had been solved.

"To put it simply, if you're afraid of freezing to death, you dismantle the pillars of your house to make a fire for warmth. When the house collapses, how can any egg remain intact when the nest is overturned?"

"You haven't thought about this principle, have you?"

"With 20 years, we could have tried many things, and there's probably more than one Pathway to solve the problem. Why would we be willing to gamble the nation's fate with the most risky approach? Isn't it because the promises Jenova made were too tempting?"

"Human arrogance has made you naively believe that you can become the masters of Jenova and conquer this planet beneath your feet through the development of civilization."

"But without the suppression of planetary energy, the Creator Jenova's recovery speed far exceeds your imagination!"

"Ants that attempt to create New Mythology will ultimately only realize their place after the giants awaken."

"Now they've dragged 127 million people into this mess, willingly becoming hosts for Jenova Cells, panting like dogs, groveling for their new masters, humbly begging for survival."

"Furthermore, you have betrayed this This Planet, and in order to resist the impact of the planet's self-defense mechanisms, you have no choice but to go down a dark path!"

"What's most disgusting? Clearly, they're making selfish plans that harm others, foolishly hurting themselves in the process, yet they portray themselves as victims and try to whitewash their actions."

"Tell me, isn't that shameless?"

The Shinra President's face alternated between black and white, and faced with Kevin's sharp tongue, he racked his brains but found himself speechless.

"Despicable! Absolutely despicable!"

Kevin provided the answer, and the doubts in his mind were suddenly cleared up.

"Now I understand why such a massive organization had no one willing to take over Japan's mess."

"That's right. Four Islands of Japan, with a population of 127 million, is a huge burden. As long as those people intend to live on Earth, they will never take the blame for this."

"Do you think that just because Jenova has arrived, Shinra can continue to leech off this This Planet under the guise of serving the nation and its people?"

"Think about it, once you've been completely transformed by Jenova Cells, you can no longer be called human. At that point, sinking the entire country of Japan won't be so psychologically daunting,"

"Furthermore, Jenova Cells are in outer space, making them quite difficult to clean up."

"But once they arrive on Earth, they'll be nerfed to a pulp! Here, we're the darlings!"

"As far as I know, there are at least more than one hand's worth of guys on Earth who could kill Jenova."

"However, those outside are waiting for you to destroy yourselves!"

The boy's cold sarcasm pierced the soul of the Shinra President like a sharp sword, causing him to hastily retreat under the weight of this murderous pronouncement.

Kevin then rolled his eyes, a sneer in his eyes.

"Of course, you're right about one thing."

"Not a single person in the entire Four Islands of Japan is clean; they all deserve to die!"

At this moment, the young boy took a deep breath, and his initial reluctance towards the SCP Foundation and St. Freya Academy finally dissipated.

This group probably only recently discovered that there was such a traitor in the Humanity Community.

However, every action has its consequences, as if ordained by fate. Japan, while enjoying the benefits of its rampant exploitation, has also become the place with the highest concentration of Mako Energy.

The Creator's resurrection requires the absorption of enormous energy, and this is the ideal place for it, which is why tens of millions of people are parasitized by Jenova Cells.

Although the Four Islands of Japan are rotten to the core and have no value in being rescued, these people cannot die on the books of any country or organization.

Therefore, they chose the most suitable person to make a final attempt and ultimately decide the fate of the Four Islands of Japan.

Kevin secretly pointed to his nose, chewed gum to relieve stress, and muttered to himself.

"127 million people, huh? They really think highly of me..."

This choice was perfectly reasonable, since he dragged the Planet Will down with him before he died; in a way, he was partly responsible for all of this mess.

Having figured everything out, the boy lost interest in continuing the conversation and asked, narrowing his eyes and uttering a question, word by word.

"Tell me, this is your last chance tonight, which side will you stand on?"

The Shinra President realized the seriousness of the problem. He glanced at the corner and was about to speak when the thick-browed boy in the white lab coat emerged from the darkness with a slight sneer.

"This era is riddled with festering sores; it will inevitably restart sooner or later. Only those who survive to the end will be qualified to become the Chosen of God the next era..."

"Laugh!"

A dark red streak flashed, tearing open space. The boy with thick eyebrows froze, staring at his right arm, which had been burned to ashes during the fall. His expression was twisted with panic, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Impossible! You couldn't have hurt me!"

"Sorry, I went off-center, but I did it on purpose..."

Kevin casually raised his right hand, binding the thick-browed boy, who was trying to escape back to the Dayart Civilization Graveyard, in mid-air. Then, he swung his sword again, severing both of his legs.

A civilization wiped out by that Origin Stone, and a bunch of fools who were terrified by danger and only knew how to hide in their shells and run away from the beginning.

Under the horrified gaze of the Dayart Civilization's tomb keeper, the space around him suddenly collapsed, and terrifying tearing forces and spreading flames began to burn every cell in his body.

"No! We shouldn't become history!"

Kevin glanced down at him, leaning on his sword.

"A civilization that lacks the courage to face danger is not worthy of being written into history. No wonder I can't find your legends in books..."

"You've lived too long! And you're utterly worthless!"

"Pfft!" Amidst the dark red flames, the tomb keeper, who was most adept at surviving, was reduced to a grayish-white wisp and swallowed into the Spatial Rift.

Shinra President stared at the iconic Flame Greatsword and the three white wings behind the boy, his teeth chattering.

"Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment! It's you! Godslayer — Kevin Kaslana! You're back!"

The boy yawned, a kind of indescribable languor about him, and muttered to himself.

"Yeah, I slept for a bit too long this time..."

Chapter 525 (Section 553): A Correction, I'm an Angel (Bonus Chapter)

"You'd better be a little reserved, so I can be more relaxed when I'm killing someone..."

Kevin sat on the sofa, poured himself and Lufus each a glass of red wine, and swayed it gently.

"The entire Schrodinger Company is at your command..."

Having lost his support, the Shinra President is just an old man with some ability to protect himself. As the infiltration of Shinra Special Forces intensifies, he has been gradually sidelined and can only use hypocritical words to hypnotize himself.

Now, stripped of his former glory, the old man, his face ashen, murmured obediently.

It's just a matter of bowing his head and temporarily changing masters. He's already been subservient to Jenova before, so this one time won't make a difference.

"Look, these are the heroes who serve their country and people, so eloquently justifying their sacrifices..."

"When it comes to myself, I'm no different..."

Kevin's tone was mocking. The Shinra President's face twitched, and he looked at his withered hands before burying his head even deeper.

Lufus saw his father, whose mask had been removed, and his humble dignity, he felt a wave of nausea.

"To save your life, there will be a price to pay..."

"Retrieve Jenova's remains; I'll be responsible for cremating them. This is your only chance..."

Kevin pulled down the Shinra President's shoulder and patted his spine. The brief numbness and burning sensation instantly sent a piercing pain through his very soul.

"Hurry up, you only have 30 minutes. You know how to lure away the Shinra Special Forces, right...?"

Immediately, the old man, who valued his life, stared at Kevin's glass, which was crackling with arcs of lightning, and saw it shatter into pieces. His face turned pale, and he immediately realized that the Godslayer must have left something bad inside him.

Time was of the essence, the old man gritted his teeth and hurriedly went out.

In the darkness, Lufus gazed at the crimson liquid in the glass and at his father's departing figure, his expression complex.

Kevin took out another glass, filled it with red wine, sat down, and lightly clinked glasses with Lufus, his expression playful.

"What, you don't really think that a mere fire can destroy the Creator Jenova? That would be beneath her dignity."

"This operation has absolutely no chance of succeeding..."

Lufus looked bewildered. "And you still let him steal Jenova's remains! Don't you know that this will increase the risk of us being exposed!"

"So, next, your pawn in the Shinra Special Forces will be tasked with informing Sephiroth, who has been separated from his unit, that someone is after him, Ocasan..."
