Black King vs. Wesker, Part 1

After discovering Erik's special ability, the Nazi soldiers at the Jewish concentration camp took him and his mother to Sebastian Shaw's office in the nearby camp. What they did not know was that the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, Magneto, would rise because of this day. Wesker's mission this time was to enter the camp directly and find the target. If he could obtain the Black King's genes, all the better; if not, rescuing the target's mother was also part of the mission.

The Nazi soldiers did not dare stop him. Umbrella held considerable privilege in Germany. As the provider of strategic materials and weapons for Nazi Germany during World War II, after Old Hitler received Umbrella Corporation's five-hundred-million-dollar loan, he simply waved his hand and granted all Umbrella employees the privilege of entering anywhere except military bases at will. Thus, no one in the camp dared say anything when Wesker entered, and they even provided all the information they knew.

On the other side, the awakened Erik nervously looked around, then fixed his eyes on the man who had temporarily released him. Erik understood that his life was in the hands of the man before him, as was his mother's life. As the weaker party, Erik said nothing, because those in higher positions generally had the privilege of speaking first. Such fate was the sorrow of the weak.

Sebastian Shaw was very satisfied with Erik's performance. As a mutant himself, he naturally appreciated mutants with potential. Before nuclear weapons were invented, mutants had been very few in number, and every mutant was a valuable force. In the future, radiation produced after the invention of nuclear weapons would accelerate the emergence of mutants. That was why Sebastian Shaw had not hesitated to provoke a world war during the Cold War—it was all for his own future and the future of mutants.

When Albert Wesker arrived at the concentration camp, the Nazi soldiers had already informed Shaw. Shaw could not understand why someone from this global super corporation had come here. However, he said nothing, turned on some classical music, and walked over to Erik.

"Do you understand this, Erik? These Nazis—I'm not like them." Shaw spoke casually as he unwrapped the chocolate on his desk.

"Genes are the key, right? But what are they after? Blue eyes? Blond hair? They're insane." Taking a bite of chocolate, Shaw pushed the rest toward Erik and said amicably, "Have some chocolate."

Erik, who had not eaten his fill for days, looked at the tempting chocolate before him and swallowed with difficulty. Then he remembered that he had not seen his mother yet. His hunger vanished in an instant, replaced by determined words. "I want to see my mother."

"Genes are the key to opening the gates to God's domain, Erik. Humanity's new future—evolution." Ignoring Erik's words, Shaw spoke obsessively. At that moment, Shaw, like Red Skull, was filled with a desire for great power. "Do you understand what I'm talking about, Erik? What I'm asking you to do is simple. A little coin is nothing compared to a gate, is it?"

Shaw's meaning was already obvious. Erik understood what he wanted: for him to move the coin just as he had opened the iron gate earlier. "I tried, Doctor. I can't... I... I can't do it." Erik tried, then said helplessly. Perhaps every mutant awakened their ability differently. Just as Charles had been able to use his gift since childhood, Erik's method of awakening was actually the same as the Sharingan's—extreme rage.

Shaw watched Erik fail, feeling helpless, but then remembered the rage Erik had displayed when he had been separated from his mother earlier. That was how his gift had awakened. Because of that discovery, Shaw had prepared another plan. He picked up the bell on the desk and rang it. Erik's mother was brought into the room by two Nazi soldiers. Erik was delighted when he saw her, but he quickly calmed down. If he failed to meet Shaw's expectations, then his mother being brought here could not possibly be a good thing.

Sure enough, this time he was not given much time to move the coin. He had only three seconds. If he succeeded, his mother would live. If he failed, she would die. Time was life—there was no better description for the situation. Three seconds might be the three seconds that changed the future.

In the end, the goddess of fortune did not stand by his mother. The sound of a pistol firing rang out, followed by the sound of something falling. Erik felt something inside his heart shatter, and boundless fury surged forth. An invisible, powerful magnetic field spread from his body, warping countless metal objects around him.

Seeing Erik succeed, Shaw smiled inwardly, knowing his goal had been achieved, but his expression was grave. The bullet he had fired had indeed been aimed at Erik's mother, but midway through, it had been caught by a black shadow. The ones who fell were not Erik's mother, but the two Nazi soldiers. With such strength, Shaw thought of one possibility. Only moments ago, Umbrella Corporation's plane had dropped someone from thirty meters in the air, and that person had emerged completely unharmed. One could imagine how monstrous that person's body was. Through the Nazi intelligence network, Shaw also knew that Umbrella Corporation had some connection to the Captain America program. A visitor with ill intent was no friend. Umbrella Corporation sending someone here this time was definitely not a good sign.

Although Shaw was somewhat worried about Umbrella Corporation's purpose, he had his own pride. As a mutant, and a powerful one capable of absorbing any form of energy, Sebastian Shaw had his own pride. Even against the relatively powerful Umbrella, Sebastian Shaw would not be afraid.

"Come out. You've been lurking here for a long time. It's time you showed yourself. Who are you, and what exactly is your purpose?" After Erik had vented his rage, Shaw's expression turned cold as he spoke sternly.

"Heh, you noticed me?" A cold-looking man appeared at the doorway, dressed in a black trench coat with Umbrella's emblem on his chest and wearing sunglasses. He smiled as he revealed himself.

"You can call me Wesker. My purpose is simple: your blood, that child's blood, and that child's mother." Wesker was always simple and direct, never wasting a word.

"Wesker? The personal bodyguard of Umbrella Corporation chairman Donners?" Shaw said thoughtfully.

Before Erik could react, Wesker knocked him unconscious. After all, the child was also part of the future plan, and obtaining Erik's genes was one of this mission's objectives. Wesker took out a syringe and drew one hundred milliliters of Erik's blood. Afterward, he placed it in a specially made Umbrella insulated case. Erik's genes would have greater uses in the future.

"Alright, you're next. Let the battle I've been looking forward to begin." Wesker ignored the unconscious Erik and sneered. The battle was on the verge of erupting.
