Xia Tianming devoured William's deformed palm and immediately felt a springlike bliss wash over him. The Blacklight Virus inside him rapidly began to boil!
It loved this flavor!
Just as Xia Tianming retracted his Blacklight Blade, preparing to slice the G-Virus carrier into sashimi and savor it, something happened.
G-William's severed, deformed hand suddenly writhed. In a single second, a new hand rapidly grew in its place, even harder and stronger than before, its surface covered in a layer of biological scales!
That was the G-Virus's strength!
The G-Virus had an extraordinarily powerful ability to adapt and evolve, changing itself to suit its surroundings. It was nearly impossible to kill.
And the more severe the damage it sustained, the faster it evolved.
G-William's original body had once fallen into molten steel at an extremely high temperature, yet even that had failed to kill it. It had even evolved a tough outer shell capable of withstanding fire and lava!
Its only drawback was that the G-Virus itself was extremely difficult to control. For now, in its early stage, G-William could still be given orders. But once it reached its later forms, the virus would completely devour its host's reason, and it would slaughter every living thing in sight!
That was why Spencer hoped G-William could deal with its enemies in the early stage. Otherwise, he too would be consumed by it.
G-William let out a low growl. Its restored, more powerful arm swung down at Xia Tianming once more!
But it was relatively slow, and Xia Tianming dodged again. With a crash, the giant hand smashed a huge imprint into the floor, making the entire office tremble.
Xia Tianming dodged aside and seized the opportunity to circle around, swinging his Blacklight Blade straight at the enormous eyeball on William's arm!
Only an idiot would ignore such an obvious weak point.
G-William was indeed wary. It instinctively tried to shield the eye on its shoulder, but it was already too late.
Squelch!
The Blacklight Blade plunged straight into the enormous eyeball on G-William's deformed arm and injected it with the Blacklight Virus, which began infecting and devouring it from within!
Struck in its weak spot, G-William let out a pained roar. The deformed giant hand, now infected with the Blacklight Virus, swelled violently, as if it were about to burst!
G-William immediately grabbed its infected right arm with its other hand and, just as Wesker had done when he was infected, forcibly tore it off to stop the Blacklight Virus from spreading.
When Xia Tianming saw such a large piece of delicious "meat" hit the floor, he wanted to go over and devour it. But that only triggered G-William's second-stage evolution!
Its mangled stump writhed with buds of flesh, which quickly grew into new muscle. It soon developed into a new, thick arm, even more destructive than the one before!
The enormous eyeball also evolved a layer of flesh resembling an eyelid, a sort of protective measure for its weak point.
Most horrifying of all, another enormous, grotesque head sprouted from where its neck had been. William's original head was pushed down to its left chest, making it look more like a parasite.
Besides that, perhaps to prevent another Blacklight Virus invasion, G-William's entire body began sprouting repulsive tumors and pustules, forming a protective layer.
If another virus invaded one of the pustules, it would automatically break down, and the pus would expel and eliminate the intruder!
It had entered G-2 Form!
Seeing his opponent mutate once again, Xia Tianming realized its ability to adapt to its surroundings was practically on par with his own Blacklight Virus!
As long as the target wasn't completely dealt with, it would keep evolving!
G-William swung its newly formed giant claw at him again, moving faster than before!
With no time to dodge, Xia Tianming immediately transformed his left hand into a Blacklight Spike Shield to block the blow!
Bang!
G-William's giant arm slammed into the Blacklight Spike Shield, bristling with spikes. The impact produced a powerful shock wave, and dense holes were instantly pierced into its palm!
Xia Tianming was also knocked back two steps by the brute force, but it was no big deal.
He shook his arm, which had been twisted by the blow, and reset his displaced bones himself as if nothing had happened.
That had only been a warm-up. He hadn't used much of his strength, and he hadn't even entered his armored form.
Xia Tianming wanted to see what changes its later stages would bring.
This time, he transformed his left hand into a Blacklight Blade and his right into Blacklight Claws, attacking with both forms at once!
Wielding Blacklight weapons in both hands, Xia Tianming took the initiative. He crouched slightly and charged at G2 Form William.
G2 William's attacks were monotonous, but combined with its savage strength and speed, every blow was deadly!
It brought its giant hand crashing down on Xia Tianming as he charged toward it. The force tore through the air with a piercing shriek!
But the moment it raised its hand, Xia Tianming had already begun dodging. He seized the opening and swung his Blacklight Blade in a flurry of horizontal and vertical slashes, cutting the deformed right arm into several large chunks once more!
G2 William let out a pained growl and reached out with its enormous left hand, trying to grab the man who moved like a ghost.
Xia Tianming attacked directly with his Blacklight Claws, locking hands with its deformed left hand!
The claws, sharp enough to cut through iron as if it were mud, pierced its left palm. Xia Tianming exerted his strength, slicing from the palm all the way to the shoulder and shredding G2 William's left hand into strips!
Its two deformed arms, the weapons it relied on for attack, had been disabled in an instant. Its offensive power dropped sharply!
But Xia Tianming didn't let his guard down. He knew it wouldn't be long before his opponent's formidable evolutionary ability grew even stronger limbs.
So after disabling both arms, he pressed his advantage and slammed into its chest, then unleashed a relentless storm of attacks with his claws and blade!
In an instant, flesh flew everywhere, and blood sprayed in every direction like water from a broken fire hydrant, painting the luxurious office red. The lavish floor-length curtains, antiques, and famous paintings were all splattered with blood!
Seeing the masterpieces preserved from the old era—Mona Lisa, The Starry Night, The Scream, and others—defiled, Spencer felt a pang of heartbreak. He should have made the two monsters fight outside.
After crashing into G2 William's chest, Xia Tianming first cut off and devoured William's head, which had been forced down into its left chest.
Unexpectedly, he gained no memories. Had everything inside its skull been transferred to the ugly head that had grown in its place?
Then he'd just keep cutting!
Xia Tianming's frenzied claws and blade moved too fast for the naked eye to follow, carving G2 William's huge, ugly body into a bloody mess as he devoured it at the same time, gaining a great deal of Blacklight nourishment!
In the few seconds it took to devour him, the viral energy Xia Tianming gained had already far exceeded what he'd gotten from using Myriad Tentacles to instantly kill those thousand soldiers.
As expected, the stronger the opponent, the more energy it provided him.
Xia Tianming had even started thinking about raising him like a "meat pig," trimming off a piece now and then to satisfy the Blacklight Virus's bottomless appetite.
In less than five seconds, G2 William's entire upper body had been devoured and absorbed!
But even with only the lower half of his body remaining, from the waist down, he still seemed to have a pulse of life—and a strong one at that.
The G-Virus was said to be immortal and possessed infinite evolutionary potential. It truly was not to be underestimated!
