No Longer Human

The brutal, flesh-to-flesh exchange between the two continued for about half a minute.

"Too weak! Far too weak!"

G3-William let out a roar, manipulating the giant exoskeleton claws on his back to clasp together into a massive fist, launching a final strike that slammed down heavily toward Xia Tianming!

BOOM!!!

A deafening sound erupted, as if a million tons of TNT had detonated!

The full force of this punch landed on Xia Tianming, the resulting shockwave causing the floor to instantly crack and spiderweb across the entire office!

A massive amount of debris sprayed in all directions, and the air filled with choking dust, causing Spencer behind them to cough incessantly.

No creature in this world could possibly withstand such a violent blow!

"Is it... finally over?!"

Spencer widened his eyes, brushing away the swirling dust, desperate to stand up from his wheelchair to get a better look.

It seemed the company's G-Virus had achieved the final victory after all; the G-Virus was the true king of viruses!

Spencer let out a sigh of relief, realizing he wouldn't have to take that final step after all...

As the dust settled, his vision gradually returned to normal.

However, the scene in the center of the hall caused Spencer's expression to freeze instantly.

G3-William was still frozen in the posture of his final strike, but his fist had been caught by a palm covered in black armor. The bloody scene he had imagined—of his opponent being smashed into a pulp—had not occurred!

G3-William's expression was twisted into a knot; it seemed his giant fist was held fast by this hand, unable to pull back or continue pressing down. His strength appeared to have been completely crushed!

And the owner of this black hand was none other than Xia Tianming, who had entered Rhino Armor Form!

The moment the opponent had clenched his fists and struck down with full force, he had immediately shifted into Rhino Armor Form, which combined raw power with absolute defense!

Although this form was relatively slower in speed, in the face of absolute strength and defense, speed was nothing more than a flashy distraction!

Xia Tianming gripped the opponent's clasped fists with one hand and slowly stood up from the crater created by his own weight. After fully standing, he was even a head taller than G3-William!

The creature raised its skull, which wore an expression of astonishment, as if it hadn't expected its opponent to also change forms—and look even more like a demon crawled out of hell than itself!

Rhino Armor Form had no unnecessary decorations; layers of hardened viral tentacles covered his body, and one could even see perfect, Greek-sculpture-like muscle lines on the surface of the armor. The pure black rhino horn protruding from his forehead added an even more murderous aura!

The corners of Xia Tianming's mouth, hidden beneath the armor, curled up slightly, as if to say that playtime was over and the real fight could finally begin.

Before G3-William could react, its pupils reflected a black fist, brimming with power, growing larger and larger...

Xia Tianming gripped the opponent's fists tight with his left hand, while his right hand morphed into Hammer Fist Form, smashing with full force into G-William's head!

BOOM!!!

His strike was like a rainbow piercing the sun, a devastating Hammer Fist that slammed viciously into the opponent's face!

G3-William's massive body was sent flying like a cannonball, shattering everything in its path, smashing through the entire wall, and burying him beneath the rubble!

However, the giant exoskeleton claws remained in Xia Tianming's grip, torn clean off by the violent force of the blow.

Xia Tianming exerted more strength, crushing and consuming the exoskeleton claws in his hand.

The moment he fused with the giant claws, his back began to squirm and mutate. Two thick tentacles burst through the Rhino Armor shell like bamboo shoots after rain, rapidly solidifying. In no time at all, two more thick, powerful arms had sprouted from his back!

Xia Tianming morphed his four arms into Blacklight Claws, Blacklight Blade, Blacklight Hammer Fist, and Blacklight Whip-Blade, resembling Shiva, the god of destruction from ancient Indian mythology!

He flicked the Whip-Blade, hooking G3-William out of the wall and dragging him back to his front.

G3-William's expression was twisted in agony, but the destroyed parts of his body were already beginning to heal and regenerate.

But Xia Tianming, tired of playing with it, would not give it another chance to recover.

Four arms, four types of Blacklight weapons, launched an attack simultaneously like a meat grinder!

In an instant, flesh flew and bone fragments splattered everywhere!

No matter how fast G3-William's healing speed was, it could not keep up with the rapid loss of flesh!

Finally, its hideous red skull wore a look of terror, desperate to escape the four demonic claws of this monster and gain even a second of respite.

If it only had two more seconds, it could reach the G4 stage!

However, this was merely a dying fantasy. The Blacklight Whip-Blade pierced through its rear, running through all the organs in its abdomen until it burst out from the top of its head, skewering it like a kebab!

Xia Tianming then swung his other three Blacklight weapons in turns, crazily hacking at the immobilized G-William, carving it into slices like a rotisserie and consuming it. The speed of its self-healing could not keep up with the speed of its flesh being stripped away!

The shrill, miserable screams it emitted echoed through most of the Umbrella base, chilling the hearts of all who heard them!

As the flesh on G3-William's body was continuously carved away and vanished, eventually only a blood-drenched, giant skeleton remained!

But Xia Tianming never spat out bones when he ate. Seeing that the opponent had completely lost the ability to resist, he wrapped his four arms around G3-William's skeleton and gave a violent twist!

CRACK!!

G-William shattered into thousands of bone fragments. Even if there was any lingering life force, it was nothing more than a final, gasping breath!

Xia Tianming swung his Blacklight Whip-Blade, a sweeping strike that cleared the area, leaving not even a speck of bone dust behind!

Even if there were traces of G-Virus blood remaining in the vicinity, they died in the air, evaporated, and dissipated completely, having found no suitable host.

After completely consuming G-William, the Blacklight Virus within Xia Tianming surged violently, its activity level increasing by a magnitude!

Ghastly, pitch-black eyeballs began to proliferate across every part of his body, mirroring the signature characteristics of the G-Virus.

With these dense clusters of eyes sprouting forth, Xia Tianming's perception of the outside world was enhanced to a heaven-defying degree!

The drifting of dust in the air, the shouts of soldiers clashing outside the room, the swaying of a single strand of hair, the fluttering of a fly's wings—no matter how minute the movement, nothing could escape his senses!

Moreover, these were merely bonuses; the combination of the G-Virus's adaptability and the Blacklight Virus's resilience was not a simple case of 1+1=2, but rather a geometric multiplication that allowed him to evolve in real-time based on external factors!

Spencer's office fell silent, the scene left in shambles as if it had endured a nuclear blast, with virtually nothing left intact.

Xia Tianming stood amidst the ruins, having returned to his normal state, his gaze as calm as still water as he walked step by step toward the petrified Spencer behind the desk.

Every step he took caused the old man sitting in the wheelchair to tremble.

Spencer shakily pulled an injector filled with an unknown blue liquid from beneath his wheelchair.

This liquid contained a cocktail of various viruses collected by the Umbrella Corporation over many years: the T-Virus, G-Virus, C-Virus, Veronica Virus, Abyss Virus, and more.

This was his final move.

He would inject this concoction of all viruses into his body to make one last desperate struggle, even if it meant becoming a grotesque monster.

"I never imagined you could defeat it... Having lived for so many years, I long ago realized that human ability has its limits. The more one schemes, the more likely those schemes are to fail due to the unexpected. Unless, that is, one transcends humanity itself..."

"Therefore, I refuse to be human anymore!!!!"

Spencer let out a hoarse, desperate roar, raising the virus-filled syringe high, ready to plunge it into his own body!

Squelch!

The sound of a Whip-Blade slicing through flesh rang out.

Spencer's pupils trembled as he stared at his severed wrist, the hand clutching the syringe having fallen to his feet before he even realized it...
