As the g-virus sample was dropped into the wound on her back, the test tube containing the g-virus was instantly corroded and dissolved by her blood.
Immediately after, the blue liquid inside the test tube blended with Lilith's flesh and blood. The first thing she felt was not intense pain, but a strange silence.
Time seemed to stretch out.
The muscles curling at the edges of the wound stopped twitching, and blood with a faint fishy smell seeped out.
The blood inside Lilith's body congealed.
It wasn't coagulation in the physical sense, but more like a brief standoff before a skirmish—the initial collision of two completely different biological commands at the cellular level.
Deep within her chest cavity, the Tyrant Core gave a dull throb.
Then, the silence was shattered.
The invasion began.
Using Lilith's wound as a base, the g-virus began to replicate and spread frantically. It wasn't as gentle as the t-virus; the t-virus had long since been modified by the Gene Dominator and had achieved perfect compatibility with Lilith.
But the g-virus was different. That was a complete virus sample, an injectable virus.
It expanded recklessly within Lilith's body. Every cell it infected instantly forgot its original instructions and switched to executing a brand-new code directed toward infinite growth and transcendence.
Centering on the wound on Lilith's back, blood-colored energy began to spread outward, constructing lines of blood-red patterns across her body.
Wisps of red blood mist poured out from Lilith's body, covering her and even the entire building she was in.
"Roar—!"
A low growl, squeezed out from every cell in her body, overflowed uncontrollably.
That wasn't pain, but the anger of the cells themselves being invaded and negated.
Lilith's [Gene Dominator] talent activated in response, like a furious monarch discovering their territory being seized by rebels.
Receiving instructions from the [Gene Dominator], the Tyrant Core beat with unprecedented power. What it pumped out was no longer simple energy, but countless minute biological commands, attempting to suppress, expel, and rewrite the g-virus invasion.
However, the nature of the g-virus caused it to view the suppression itself as an environmental stimulus.
As long as there was external environmental stimulus, the g-virus could keep evolving, adapting, and changing until it completed its evolution and achieved transcendence.
The first wave of mutation erupted amidst the suppression.
The skin on Lilith's back suddenly tore open!
Cracks ran along Lilith's spine and extended to her Bat Wings. The Bat Wings, encased in an Exoskeleton, spread out uncontrollably, as dense red lines constructed eye totems upon them.
In the next moment, these totems seemed to come to life, suddenly snapping open. Dense clusters of eyes appeared across Lilith's wide wingspan.
The one at the very center was the largest, occupying a tenth of Lilith's wingspan.
Almost simultaneously, the Tyrant Core, a skill derived from the t-virus, activated on its own uncontrollably.
Lilith's forelimbs became broad, her claws elongated, her Exoskeleton became thicker and heavier, her height increased, her wingspan grew, and sharp bone spurs began to grow frantically along her spine.
They became thicker and more resilient.
At this moment, Lilith's body size directly surged to 23 meters, and her wingspan reached 25 meters.
The g-virus's possessiveness directly activated the t-virus's skills. The t-virus, which had integrated with Lilith, began to resist and suppress.
But the g-virus's instinct was to evolve! To transcend! To break free from the shackles of this shell and become a more perfect existence!
It forced its way against the pressure of the t-virus and began to spread recklessly. The more it was suppressed, the faster the g-virus's evolution speed became!
It constantly self-evolved within the suppression, adapting and competing.
The ample energy and powerful biological cells within Lilith's body made the g-virus even stronger!
Just as the t-virus was about to become unable to suppress it...
"Hum—!"
A dark gold ripple, far more domineering, condensed, and filled with the absolute will of a dominator than before, suddenly spread out with the Tyrant Core as its origin!
That was the manifestation of Lilith pushing her [Gene Dominator] talent to its limit.
Wherever the dark gold ripple passed, the g-virus was directly suppressed, defeated, and compressed within Lilith's body.
No, it wasn't a simple retraction.
Under the will of the [Gene Dominator], it was being forcibly incorporated and restructured.
It began to fuse with the t-virus. Two originally different viruses actually underwent a strange fusion under the forced interference of the [Gene Dominator].
The heart originally condensed by the t-virus was now clung to by blood-red patterns. The patterns looked like eyes, emitting an ominous aura.
At this moment, Lilith's body was rapidly receding, soon returning to its original size.
The wound on her back had completely healed, and Lilith's body appeared not to have undergone any changes.
However, when Lilith opened her eyes, over a dozen crimson eyes suddenly opened on her spread wingspan.
The eyes rolled around, seemingly exploring this new world.
And these eyes all possessed their own consciousness—the compressed consciousness of the g-virus!
The red eyes carried a devouring tyranny, but as the dull thuds of Lilith's two hearts sounded, they slowly quieted down.
On Lilith's silver-white Bat Wings, a strange blood-colored totem remained, in the shape of an eye.
"Roar—!!!"
With a roar, the glass of the entire building shattered, and dense cracks appeared on the walls as Lilith's massive body stood atop the building.
A tyrannical aura centered on Lilith began to spread outward, directly dispersing the blood mist surrounding the building.
Moonlight cut through the long night, reflecting Lilith's blurred and massive silhouette.
At this time, in every street and alley, the attention of all survivors was drawn by this roar.
Jill, who was fighting a Pursuer, stopped. She lowered her gun, looked up at the giant creature on top of the distant high-rise, and her heart shook!
She had noticed the changes there earlier, but she hadn't expected such a terrifying creature to be born from that cloud of red mist.
Just this roar alone caused the Pursuer's bestial body to collapse onto the ground, trembling.
If she truly had to face it, what kind of despair would that be!
At this moment, Jill didn't have time to stay immersed in the roar. She quickly took action and began firing at the Pursuer, wanting to kill this monster completely!
On the other side, at the Police Station, looking at the shattered glass around them, a foreign Samsara squad's eyes flashed with shock.
Especially after the Tyrant chasing them was deterred by this roar, their internal shock was beyond words.
To make a powerful biochemical weapon like a Tyrant submit with just a roar—how powerful must it be?
"Go! Hurry to the Raccoon City Underground Research Institute to find the g-virus. Once we get the g-virus, we need to leave here quickly."
For some reason, the current Raccoon City gave him a very uneasy feeling. His intuition told him that the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it would be!
The others snapped out of their shock instantly. No longer paying attention to the Tyrant that had pestered them for so long, they began searching for the location of the Underground Research Institute...
