One Slash Killed Him Instantly—What Was There to Say!

Dr. Isaacs, the original body, had been awakened by the Red Queen under the emergency protocol about three hours earlier, when Uchiha Gen had first entered the Hive to clear out the bio-monsters.

Uchiha Gen's extraordinary strength caught Dr. Isaacs's attention.

After comparing the data, Dr. Isaacs discovered that Uchiha Gen's attire and abilities closely resembled those from a Japanese manga that had been serialized since 1999, three years ago: Naruto.

At that point, he had become very interested in Uchiha Gen and had prepared to arrange for his Bio-weapons to capture him.

Although the strength Uchiha Gen had displayed was formidable, it had clearly not exceeded the bounds of Dr. Isaacs's understanding.

But just as he had finished deploying his battle plan, Uchiha Gen suddenly vanished from The Hive underground.

Just as Dr. Isaacs was feeling disappointed, the Red Queen informed him that the Central Continent Team had appeared in the surface mansion at the Hive's entrance.

Moreover, they seemed to have received some information, learned that they were hiding underground, and were coming this way to kill them.

Faced with this situation, Dr. Isaacs deployed the Bio-weapons he had prepared earlier at the Hive entrance to capture the members of the Central Continent Team.

Then, to Dr. Isaacs's delight, he discovered that not only did Uchiha Gen possess special abilities, but Zheng Zha also had powerful regenerative abilities that surpassed T-virus evolved forms.

Zhan Lan, meanwhile, had displayed the ability to use Mental Power for Perception.

New types of abilities, new research subjects, new directions for the evolution of life—these drove Dr. Isaacs wild with excitement.

Cleansing all of human civilization and becoming the god of the new world—this was only the first step.

If, on top of that, he could grasp powerful strength that surpassed mortals, then it would be a true path to godhood.

As Uchiha Gen and Zhan Lan descended toward the real Hive, located eight hundred meters underground, the Red Queen explained the relationships among Umbrella Corporation's upper management and Dr. Isaacs's New World Plan to Uchiha Gen.

Dr. Isaacs did not stop her. He had not yet given up on recruiting the members of the Central Continent Team.

Living research materials were certainly better than dead ones.

Thus, when Isaacs saw Uchiha Gen and Zhan Lan, he merely tried to recruit them instead of wasting more time explaining his ideals and principles.

Uchiha Gen had no intention of speaking to Dr. Isaacs, who seemed certain of victory.

Just as Zheng Zha could not be bothered with antisocial scum, neither could Uchiha Gen.

He looked at Alicia with an earnest expression. "Ms. Alicia, please believe that the Central Continent Team stands on the same side as you. None of us wants to see human civilization destroyed."

"I will help you deal with this anti-human piece of trash. Afterward, I'll help you take control of Umbrella Corporation again, restore your body to health, and work with you to resolve this Resident Evil incident, protect all of human civilization, and apply Umbrella Corporation's technology toward benefiting humanity."

"So please do not make any moves that might cause misunderstandings."

As one of Umbrella Corporation's upper management, Alicia might not have had the ability to accomplish anything in this underground Hive or stop the World Ending Plan, but she was certainly capable of ruining things.

That was why Uchiha Gen chose to speak first and reassure her.

Though not very old, the woman already showed signs of aging. Faced with Uchiha Gen's words, she gave an affirmative answer. "All right. I agree."

She had nothing to refuse. If Uchiha Gen succeeded, then even if he could not fulfill the benefits he had promised, it would be enough as long as he could stop the World Ending Plan.

If Uchiha Gen failed, then things would not get any worse than they already were.

"It seems you intend to reject my goodwill."

The smile vanished from Dr. Isaacs's face, replaced by a cold expression.

"Zhan Lan's combat ability is negligible. As long as I deal with Uchiha Gen, I will win this battle."

"First, activate the Gene Lock and rapidly close in on Uchiha Gen. Interrupt his hand seals so that he cannot cast Ninjutsu. That will cripple most of his combat power. After that, he can only fight me in close quarters, and according to the data calculated earlier, he cannot defeat me in melee combat."

A vast stream of data flashed through Dr. Isaacs's eyes.

With the aid of the Bio-chip, Dr. Isaacs's brain operated like a Supercomputer. By this point, he had already prepared his response to the battle.

In the next instant, his muscles bulged as he activated the Second-Stage Gene Lock.

Then he kicked off the ground. His muscles exploded with force, and his entire body seemed to shift through space as he crossed the distance between them in an instant and appeared beside Uchiha Gen.

One hand reached for Uchiha Gen's right hand, while the other grabbed for his throat.

He intended to seize Uchiha Gen outright while preventing him from casting Ninjutsu.

"Hm?"

But in the next moment, Dr. Isaacs sensed that something was wrong.

Even though he had struck with all his strength, he grabbed neither Uchiha Gen's hand nor his throat.

It was as if he had slammed into a heavy wall of steel. A tremendous force sent him flying into the air.

In an instant, he used the power of the Second-Stage Gene Lock to adjust his body, exerting force in midair to keep himself from crashing straight into the ground.

It was then that he saw something that astonished him greatly.

A gigantic ape twenty meters tall had appeared in the underground space. Its enormous body nearly filled the otherwise spacious underground station to the brim.

The Great Ape wore the same indifferent expression Dr. Isaacs recognized from Uchiha Gen.

Its eyes bore the distinctive vacant look of someone who had activated the Gene Lock, while its two enormous hands had already completed their hand seals.

It opened its mouth and inhaled, nearly draining all the air from the underground space in an instant. Then it exhaled an expanse of extremely compressed wind blades.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

This B-rank Ninjutsu was similar to Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction. Uchiha Gen had learned both over the past few years while practicing Chakra nature transformation, methods he had prepared for becoming a Jonin in the future.

It had held no practical combat value for him in the past, but it was perfectly suited to the current environment.

Vacuum Serial Waves was already incredibly powerful, possessing an edge that could slice through iron like mud. Empowered by the tenfold combat strength of Great Ape Transformation, it became even more terrifying.

In an instant, it engulfed Dr. Isaacs, who was still suspended in midair.

The biological modifications he had undergone could not save his life under such circumstances. The terrifying Cutting Force of the wind release erupted, and in the blink of an eye, the mastermind behind this Resident Evil incident was sliced into a mist of blood that filled the air.

Then a violent wind howled, scattering the blood mist everywhere.
