Thunder Saw Me as Its Mortal Enemy
In the City Hall Square, a Wings of Light unfolded from behind Russell, and the holy halo slowly expanded until it enveloped the entire square.
Golden eyes, white Wings of Light, a black priest's robe, and a sapphire Cross on his chest—in the Western world, the significance of this outfit is self-evident.
It's self-explanatory at a glance, no need for introductions!
Angel!!!
In an instant, the entire square fell silent. Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless, their minds blank, and they stood frozen in place like wooden statues.
The same action can produce completely different results on different people. On those with high looks, like a beautiful woman like Jill, the wide-eyed stare and the mouth agape in an "O" shape are pleasing to the eye.
If we replace him with the burly, dark-skinned Payton, it's a completely different description. His eyes are wide open, his mouth is agape, his back teeth are clearly visible, and he looks constipated, like a 200-pound mentally challenged person.
There are exceptions, such as Alice, who had always suspected Russell's identity. Although she was equally shocked, she was more excited.
An angel descends to earth; with such a powerful figure protecting him, what is the Umbrella Corporation compared to that!
Among the crowd, the most terrified was Director Kane, who was completely distraught at the thought of having shot Russell.
"No... it's impossible. There must be projection equipment installed around here. Angels are... virtual mythical beings. How could they really exist?"
Manager Kane's face turned pale and then red, and he began to mutter to himself in a frenzy. He was not a staunch atheist, but rather speaking out of the instinct for survival.
When faced with things that are incomprehensible or that threaten one's life, the will to survive compels the will to make a judgment, denying and rejecting reality.
At that moment, two helicopters took off outside the city hall. The pilots were stunned as they looked at the strange phenomenon in the square.
Is the company's new product an angel?
"Fire! Fire at him!"
Supervisor Kane's face contorted with rage; though he dared not fire himself, it did not prevent him from ordering his men to do so.
The soldiers in the square stood there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought and not having heard anything. Russell's previous display of ability had made them hesitant to act rashly, and even if Kane knelt down, they wouldn't fire.
However, the two unfortunate pilots were unaware of what had happened and followed Superintendent Kane's orders, pressing the fire button for the aircraft cannon.
Accompanied by a low, rapid, and dense sound, red fire streaks swept down from the two helicopters, plowing two trails of dust across the concrete ground.
The next second, the two drivers lost their composure and inwardly cursed Kane's immediate family.
The dense bullets pierced through the halo, slowing down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally came to a standstill, hovering in mid-air.
Hiss hiss hiss—
The Negasonic Teenage Warhead burst into white flames, instantly Oblivion thousands of bullets to ashes, leaving not a trace.
Russell glanced at the two helicopters, and the pilot's heart skipped a beat. He turned the helicopter around and sped away.
The white Wings of Light expanded outwards like a blot out the sun, sweeping across the two helicopters in mid-air like a sharp laser weapon, instantly slicing them in half diagonally.
White flames ignited at the smooth cut surface, engulfing the entire aircraft in an instant, vaporizing and sublimating it before the helicopter exploded.
"Gulp!" xN
The soldiers in the square threw down their rifles, covered their heads with their hands, and lay prone on the ground in perfect unison, as if they had rehearsed it.
There's nothing surprising about it; anyone with a modicum of sense and the ability to think would make this choice.
Supervisor Kane was deathly pale, drenched in sweat as if he had just been pulled from the water. He quickly threw away his pistol, covered his head with his hands, and curled up as tightly as he could to make himself less conspicuous.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Russell was a petty man; the word "magnanimity" didn't exist in his dictionary. He clearly remembered Kane shooting him with a pistol, and only at him.
Of course, now that he has wings and is full of prestige, he won't retaliate by name; that would be too beneath him.
With his wings folded, Russell strode toward Alice. As he passed Kane, a holy light gun materialized in his palm. He dropped it carelessly, and it hit Kane, pinning him to the concrete ground.
"Sorry, it slipped..."
Russell didn't turn his head. Behind him was Kane, who was being burned by the Holy Flame. The flames spread very slowly, burning Kane to the point of ecstasy. He screamed and howled until his voice was hoarse.
"..."xN
Everyone: My hand slipped, that's a really... Yes, it was a slip of the hand!
The pursuer, Matt, was seriously injured and collapsed to the ground. In order to protect Alice, he was shot by a small squad of soldiers and almost riddled with bullets. He was only kept alive by his abnormal physique.
Russell reached out and placed his hand above Matt, his fingers slightly bent, and extracted the bullet from his body in mid-air. Then he sprinkled a stream of water, completely healing Matt's wounds.
Russell possesses two types of Angel's Power, or more precisely, Angel's Power he obtained from two different individuals: Gabriel and Asmodeus.
Asmodeus's Angel's Power was obtained through a lottery and stored in his Stigmata. Russell tricked him by using Asmodeus's Character Card, doubling the Angel's Power.
It possesses enormous energy but cannot regenerate automatically, making it a consumable!
Another one is Gabriel's Angel's Power, which Russell was not supposed to enjoy, but he took advantage of Gabriel's sense of responsibility and tricked him into giving him a share.
This Angel's Power resides within Russell's body and has only two uses: first, to transform into Wings of Light, which can be used as a flight skill; and second, to perform summoning, burning this Angel's Power can summon Gabriel's will to descend to earth.
Burning is impossible; Russell's daily use is all the Angel's Power of Asmodeus.
Alice looked grateful. "Could you... could you turn Matt back to his original form?"
Sure! But I don't know him well and don't want to waste my energy!
Russell shook his head slightly. "His complete fusion with the T-Virus, though a flawed evolution, is still a kind of evolution. This is his destiny, and I have no right to interfere."
After saying this, Russell waved for everyone to leave, as the nuclear bomb was about to arrive and it was not advisable to stay in Raccoon City any longer.
Alice rushed forward and cut the shackles on everyone's hands. Looking at the devastated Raccoon City, she left with extreme reluctance. The city wasn't just infested with zombies; there must still be surviving humans inside. If a nuclear bomb were to fall, these people would truly be doomed.
Moreover, Raccoon City is the most direct evidence of the Umbrella Corporation's evil deeds, and the bloodshed in the city should not be destroyed.
"Can you stop a nuclear bomb from exploding?"
Sure, but I don't want to waste my energy!
Just as Russell was about to speak, Kane, who was half-dead on the ground, suddenly roared like a madman, "Even if you are a god, you are powerless against the god-slaying weapons invented by humans! Just wait, one day, humans will drive you high and mighty gods down from the sky to the ground."
Hey, I have such a short temper!
Noticing Kane's venomous gaze, Russell reached behind his back, pulled out his trident with the prongs missing, and slammed it heavily into the concrete ground.
"This is Poseidon's trident, my trophy! During the last war of the gods, Heaven and Mount Olympus clashed in the outer dimension. I fought a bloody battle with the Sword of Judgment and broke this divine weapon in two. Although it is broken, I can still control the world's seas, lakes, rivers, and the rain in the sky."
Rumble!!!
A bolt of lightning struck Russell directly on the head, leaving everyone dumbfounded. How could he have been struck by lightning out of nowhere?
Russell's expression remained unchanged. He brushed the dust off his shoulders and said calmly, "It's Zeus's curse. Thunder considers me its mortal enemy!"
