Forge a Myth! (Fourth Bonus Chapter) / My Sister-in-Law's Amazing Assist! (Fifth Bonus Chapter)
"Whether it's useful or useless, in order to save more people's lives, we need to seize every possibility..."
"Kevin, you'll help me, right...?"
Tifa was very intelligent. Although she knew that the authenticity of Sumire Muroto's research needed to be taken with a grain of salt, gentle as she was, she did not want to cause the deaths of tens of millions of people because of her pride.
The guilt of watching helplessly as her village was destroyed has been a recurring nightmare for her for over a decade.
Many things, even if they don't yield results, can bring peace to the heart.
In the small, dark room, Tifa, having locked the door, took a deep breath to calm her wildly beating heart and solemnly approached the chair.
When the girl next door saw Kevin, who seemed even more flustered, her nervousness vanished, and she broke into a radiant smile, momentarily stunning the prisoner waiting to be drained dry on the chair.
Tifa's gaze lingered on Kevin's angular, menacing face, his eyebrows, his lips—every part of him felt both familiar and strangely unfamiliar.
Their first encounter at the bar, their acquaintance as siblings, the moonlit rescue... fragments of memories about their time together kept replaying in the girl's mind.
She didn't know when it started, but the face in front of her had become an important part of her life. Since meeting this child, she had been sleeping more soundly than ever before.
Tifa tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and with a surge of emotion, a peculiar impulse welled up inside her, and she blurted out her question earnestly.
"Kevin, do you... like your sister?"
"Yeah, ever since I met you, the person I hate the most is Cloud..."
Kevin was silent for a moment, then spoke softly. When he noticed a hint of confusion in Tifa's eyes, he added earnestly.
"I'm afraid he'll take you away from me..."
Cloud, the Thunder's sidekick, Aerith's boyfriend, a somewhat timid but very handsome boy.
If it weren't for his identity Shinra Special Forces and the appearance of Aerith, perhaps he would have gotten along very well with that person.
Tifa chuckled softly, shook her head slightly, slowly knelt down, kissed Kevin's forehead, and whispered in the "big boy's" ear.
"Silly boy... your sister will always be with you..."
This is a guy who always tries to be strong, relying on his strength and intelligence to shoulder everything, but his heart is surprisingly soft.
Once upon a time, the boy who would occasionally reveal his genuine embarrassment seemed to never grow up in her eyes, no matter what he became, just like a younger brother who always made his older sister worry and care for him.
Once you're stuck with someone, you might never be able to shake them off...
"Kevin, from now on, relax, don't feel any pressure..."
"Consider everything tonight... a coming-of-age gift from your older sister..."
Tifa stood up, hesitated for a moment, then took off her white vest, instantly filling the room with a warm, spring-like atmosphere.
The sight of her slender, white fingers moving swiftly was captivating and irresistible. As her wrists grew numb, her delicate, cherry-red lips parted shyly, releasing a fragrance as sweet as orchids and musk.
Half an hour later, the door to the small dark room was opened Tifa, her face flushed, calmed herself down and handed two full collection cups to Sumire Muroto, who had been waiting for a long time.
With a slovenly smile, he fiddled with the warm cup, tapped the inside, and examined it closely. He was quite satisfied with the quality of the sample. No wonder he was called an angel; a madman who could even kill a god. Maybe he should make a few clones for him to play with.
Just as Kevin, utterly ashamed, was about to run away with Tifa after finishing, Sumire Muroto, who had just conducted a simple comparative experiment with his blood, relentlessly blocked the doorway.
Then, the woman actually pulled out two more identical collection cups, her face beaming with the smile of an old woman.
"As expected of someone who could be used by Jenova for sperm donation, just as I thought, give me some more..."
Kevin felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could react, Tifa, who had read the written report alone, gritted her teeth and dragged the Tool Person into the dark room.
Finally, after enduring repeated physical and psychological torture, the perverted Sumire Muroto released the victim, whose face had turned slightly pale.
"You'd better give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise..."
Kevin, slumped in front of his computer desk, squinted and snorted coldly at Sumire Muroto, who was busy at the lab bench.
"I only care about results, you can rest assured!"
"By the way, where's Tifa? Why didn't she come out with you?"
Sumire Muroto hummed Schubert's Serenade as she continued fiddling with the bottles and jars in her hands, casually asking a question.
Kevin's face twitched slightly, and he answered in a dry voice.
"In the restroom... I'm rinsing my mouth..."
Sumire Muroto paused for a moment, then turned her head, gave Kevin a thumbs-up, and smiled rather teasingly.
Chapter 546 (Fourth Update) - Forging a Myth!
"With these things, I can formulate an inhibitor that covers Jenova Cells in patients with Star Mark Syndrome..."
"At that time, as long as you can take the initiative in the game with the Creator, Those Hosts firmly believe in their human identity and resist the fusion of Jenova Cells, everything will settle down smoothly."
Sumire Muroto pushed the keyboard aside, leaned back in her chair, hummed smugly, and then closed her eyes to recite poetry.
After solving the immediate problem, Kevin did not rush to leave. He picked up the half-tube of blood sample he had given to the woman from the shelf, his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and he turned to ask her seriously.
"Can this gene coverage harmlessly remove foreign gene fragments that have become mixed in with other organisms?"
Sumire Muroto stroked her chin and offered her judgment.
"Theoretically, foreign gene fragments inserted laterally into an organism are not structurally stable and have a high mutation rate. As long as their erosion rate does not exceed 50%, it is acceptable..."
At this point, Sumire Muroto suddenly realized, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"How could I not have thought of that! The Cursed Children!"
"Gastrea Virus grant humans the ability to fuse with the genes of other organisms, and your blood is like a powerful cleanser."
"It can even handle something like Jenova Cells, let alone the gene fragments of ordinary creatures within the Cursed Children!"
"Kevin, you're a genius!"
Kevin maintained a proper sense of awe when it came to scientific matters, and his answers were very subtle and modest.
"Perhaps outsiders have a clearer perspective, but to truly bring this idea to fruition, we still need your brilliant mind."
Sumire Muroto was very pleased with Kevin's praise; all the resentment she had harbored earlier vanished, and her mood improved considerably.
The medical scientist's eyes lit up when her gaze fell upon the black fallen angel feather sealed in a glass tube on the table.
"These children are all excellent hosts modified by the Gastrea Virus. If they actively interact with Jenova Cells, their potential might rival that of Shinra Special Forces."
"However, because they have already fused with gene fragments from creatures on Earth such as owls, dolphins, and rabbits, in the eyes of the creator Jenova, they are similar to being contaminated."
"Therefore, these 'waste products' that have been used once on the surface naturally escaped the parasitic treatment of Jenova Cells, thus avoiding the attack of the Star Mark Syndrome..."
"Who can truly define misfortune and fortune?"
Sumire Muroto sighed slightly, then quickly placed the black feather from Sephiroth's body under the fluorescent light to examine it, giving Kevin a mysterious smile.
"And the gene coverage in your blood perfectly solves this problem..."
"Using mild medication to simply remove the genetic fragments of other organisms inserted into the Cursed Children and strip them of that power—don't you think that's a huge waste?"
"The Creator Jenova is perfecting his mythology, Prince Kevin, now it's your turn..."
Indeed, his mythology lacked the necessary apostles to hear the will of Heaven and convey divine messages. Kevin couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Go forth, let the old myths fall; let the new myths rise!"
"This is exactly what you do best, isn't it? Your Excellency Eden Angel?"
Sumire Muroto gave a slight bow, her expression playful, and the two intelligent women clasped hands.
How long will it take you to prepare both plans simultaneously?
Kevin gently unfurled three Angel Wings on his back, casually plucked a few feathers, handed them to Sumire Muroto, and asked her a serious question.
"Fortunately, the initial potion was successful on Tifa, and improving it is just a matter of using your brain..."
"Give me two days! Also, I want all of Schrodinger Company's existing research teams to be under my command!"
"And then there are all those miscellaneous things like experimental subjects, production chains, and by-products—none of them can be missing!"
When discussing matters of professional expertise, Sumire Muroto abandoned her previous nonchalant demeanor, her words now filled with an undeniable air of authority.
"Okay! I'll give you two days!"
"Within two days! I will resolve the issues of the overflowing Honkai energy ley lines in the Four Islands of Japan and the eruption of Mount Fuji!"
"Schrodinger Company will fully support your research and output; the Imperial Army and the Self-Defense Forces will also closely monitor the movements of patients with Star Mark Syndrome!"
"At dawn on the third day, we will launch a full-scale attack on the Hida Mountains, where the alien god Jenova and the defector Shinra Special Forces are hiding!"
The decisive leader made the final decision, then tore through space, pulling Shinra President Lufus and the mouthpiece Tendou Kisara, who were waiting in the Seventh Heaven Bar, to Sumire Muroto's research institute.
After two hours of intense discussion, Kevin and Lufus, who were in real power, finally finalized all the details, Tendou Kisara naturally agreed with them.
Soon, with Lufus, Schrodinger Company poured all its resources and talent into the project.
"Remember to keep an eye on those Japanese Government servants; I don't want to end up getting stabbed in the back."
Kevin reminded Lufus that he naturally had no liking for those parasites.
The Shinra President narrowed his eyes slightly, his thin lips pressed tightly together, revealing a chilling smile.
"First, after more than a decade of infiltration, Schrodinger Company has absolute say in this land, whether in terms of economy or military!"
"Secondly, the gifts we send out every year aren't so easy to obtain. Each of their secrets is recorded more than once in Schrodinger Company's confidential files. Some of their fates are worse than death!"
"Third, just to be on the safe side, I will assign Reno and Rude's team of assassins who are skilled in assassination to Mugihito."
"In a wartime-controlled situation, there are plenty of ways to shut those Old Man up!"
Tendou Kisara flicked her thumb, and her katana flashed with a half-inch of sharpness. The girl, who had gradually come into contact with the whole dark truth, now had a cold smile.
"To be honest, I'd rather someone step forward and let me test my skills, preferably starting with one of my grandfather's close friends."
Kevin slightly raised his hand, subtly positioning himself as the axis of the three.
"The timing of the potion production and the extraction of ley line Honkai energy just happened to coincide; we were very lucky..."
"Gentlemen, everything depends on the dawn on the third day! Go and do what you must do."
"Avoid trouble unless absolutely necessary."
Then, the decision-maker gave a sinister smile, "Of course, if others provoke you, that's none of my business."
A slight smile played on Tendou Kisara's lips as he happily contemplated how to outmaneuver certain overly assertive government officials.
After the tasks were assigned, Kevin pulled Tifa, whose face was still flushed, tore through space, and returned to the Seventh Heaven Bar to say goodbye to everyone before leaving.
Upon arriving at Midgar Street, a somewhat shy Tifa secretly broke free from Kevin's arm and, using feeling unwell as an excuse, slipped into the bedroom through the back door.
As I entered the bar, a furtive figure darted out from below, cheering excitedly.
"Gotcha! Brother-in-law!"
At this moment, Raiden Mei, who was standing next to Sera, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
P. S.: I'm writing this at a rush.
Chapter 547 (Fifth Update) - My Sister-in-Law's Divine Assistance!
At this moment, caught red-handed, before Kevin could even open his mouth, Raiden Mei, filled with inexplicable anger, glared at someone fiercely, snorted coldly, and strode away.
Left with no other choice, Kevin was dragged by Sera to the backyard where Lightning Sis was drinking at the stone table.
"Sis, when are you planning to marry your husband?! After this is all over?"
Sera blinked, leaned closer to Thunder, and asked curiously.
As a result, the Valkyrie's brow twitched violently, her hand trembled, and the glass shattered into pieces, the strong aroma of wine spreading across her clothes.
"Don't look at me, I've explained it, but your sister simply doesn't believe me..."
Kevin raised his hands, looking completely innocent.
"Sera, don't overthink it. I have absolutely nothing to do with him!"
Lei Ting frowned and snorted softly, patiently explaining to his beloved younger sister.
However, Sera lightly covered her cherry lips, her expression revealing a hint of resentment and anxiety.
"Sis, I've been asleep for ten years, so you're... 3... How can you not even have a boyfriend!"
