Jill, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face when she saw this scene.
She didn't understand why this sickly young girl would suddenly rush forward as if she didn't care about her life.
The Second-Form Pursuer in front of them was completely unkillable by ordinary humans; even a four-barreled rocket launcher was useless against it.
It required heavy weaponry like tanks and helicopters to suppress it.
However, despite Jill's surprise, Leon, Claire, and the others around them remained calm.
There was nothing they could do; they had seen the terrifying side of this girl too many times in the underground Institute of the G Virus, so Leon and the others were already used to it.
"Bang!"
As expected, in the next second, the Second-Form Pursuer and Lisa collided with a thunderous crash.
The intense roar blew away the dust and debris in the subway tunnel, making it impossible for Javier and the others to open their eyes.
However, the figures of the Second-Form Pursuer and Lisa remained standing tall, without the slightest tremor.
This result utterly astonished everyone present, especially Jill.
Where did this monster come from?
After being hit by a powerful blow from the Second-Form Pursuer, she showed no signs of movement.
Could it be that she had turned her legs into steel nails and pressed them firmly onto the tracks?
Even so, they should have been instantly bent.
One must know that even if a heavy armored tank were to take a hit from the Second-Form Pursuer, its tracks and rollers would at least recoil several meters!
However, when the dust cleared, everyone couldn't help but drop their jaws again.
Because Lisa, standing motionless, had her slender right hand instantly burst open, countless flesh and blood hardening into a solid blood-red shield.
The Second-Form Pursuer's previous attack had slammed violently into this blood-red shield, leaving a deep indentation but failing to shatter it.
At this very moment, Lisa's back sprouted the transparent, thin wings and several crimson Plaga parasite tentacles from before, wildly flailing.
The three-meter massive grayish-white skeletal monster, with sharp barbs covering its shoulders and two long, sharp arms, was basically indistinguishable from a certain Bronze Tree boss, except for the lack of a crimson single eye.
And that slender, frail figure on the ground, with crimson cracked eyes, terrifyingly rampant killing intent, reinforced Kagune arms, constantly flapping and fluttering Ukaku, and chaotic, grotesque crimson Koukaku tail—goodness, the King of Ghouls?
This scene was too familiar.
Kakuja One-Eyed King Takatsuki Sen vs.
Ken Kaneki (Lisa)—?
Lisa: "Javier, I'm not going back to Raccoon City.
I want to join Umbrella Corporation, become a Hokage, become the Pirate King, initiate the Rumbling, destroy Teyvat, and create a world with only Rin!"
Recalling this conversation, Javier felt very awkward.
But the battle between the Second-Form Pursuer and Lisa did not end there.
The Second-Form Pursuer looked at its huge claw, which had been blocked by a small blood-red shield.
Its large head was also slightly filled with confusion.
After all, in its perception, how could such a tiny creature withstand its full-power strike?
This was completely unreasonable.
But in the next second, Lisa would show the Second-Form Pursuer that even more unreasonable and surprising things were yet to come.
"Die—!"
Lisa uttered this cold sentence.
Facing Javier, Lisa always had endless things to say, but when facing these monsters, Lisa would revert to her original cold and ruthless state.
After a murmur, the Kagune's blood-red shield instantly retracted, and her slender arms, strengthened by the G Virus, immediately transformed into long, hard dark-gold steel needles.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!!"
The thin wings of the Ukaku instantly flapped.
Lisa's speed instantly broke through the air barrier, transforming into several afterimages that flashed in front of the Second-Form Pursuer's head.
Two incredibly sharp, reinforced dark-gold steel needle spikes plunged violently into the Second-Form Pursuer's head.
Lisa planned to perform a brain dissection, peeling open the Second-Form Pursuer's skull and then extracting the Nemesis-α Parasite inside.
After all, that thing was a good item, just like bamboo worms hidden in bamboo; it was a rare delicacy.
Devouring it could enhance Lisa's intelligence and upgrade the strength of the Plaga parasite tentacles in her body.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
It seemed to sense what Lisa intended to do.
The Second-Form Pursuer opened its abyssal maw and let out an angry roar.
The Nemesis-α Parasite in its head was incredulous.
This tiny creature actually wanted to pull it out of the Chaser Tyrant's head.
It was an unbearable humiliation!
While roaring, the Second-Form Pursuer instantly launched an attack.
The twisted, entangled fleshy tentacles on its back stabbed out violently like a scorpion's stinger, and its thick arms also slammed out, as if wanting to crush Lisa to death.
The three attacks came out simultaneously.
In a sense, this was a very difficult offensive to resist!
But…
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!!"
Not to be outdone in the slightest, several Plaga parasite tentacles immediately emerged from Lisa's back.
Under the catalysis of the G Virus, they became incredibly massive, almost the same size as the Second-Form Pursuer's arms.
This way, with almost no effort at all, several giant Plaga parasite tentacles firmly grasped the Second-Form Pursuer's three attacks.
The poisonous stinger tentacles on its back were firmly held down.
Its strong, giant clawed arms could not move an inch.
This huge contrast made it unimaginable for everyone present, especially Jill.
As someone seeing Lisa for the first time, she deeply doubted her worldview.
Was this a superhuman?
A superhero?
Superpowers?
This was even more impactful than a tiny human overturning a giant armored tank, because no matter how ferociously and furiously the Second-Form Pursuer roared, even if its arms trembled from overexertion of brute force, it could not overwhelm the tiny Lisa in front of it.
Instead, it was firmly restrained, completely unable to break free from the confinement of those giant Plaga parasite tentacles.
And looking at the Second-Form Pursuer, which had lost its ability to resist, Lisa didn't hesitate.
She raised her reinforced dark-gold steel needle spikes and plunged them fiercely into its bald head.
At the same time, the Second-Form Pursuer also let out a piercing shriek:
"Pfft…"
"Roar, roar, roar…!"
Viscous blood mixed with brain matter splattered out.
The tightly stitched skull was perfectly cut open by Lisa's exquisite surgical knife.
The Second-Form Pursuer's brain was instantly peeled away, and its terrifying face fell to its mouth like a mask.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss…!!!"
And the moment the scalp was completely peeled off, Lisa clearly saw the Nemesis-α Parasite contained within.
It was curled up inside like a red octopus, with wrinkled tentacles piled around it.
Its shape really resembled a brain, and the mouthpart in the middle sucked and exhaled like a suction cup, filled with sharp teeth.
Behind it, a long, thick tentacle extended, 貫穿ing all the way to the back of the Chaser Tyrant's spine, specifically attaching to the spine to control nerves.
Countless red and yellow mixed viscous fluids were flowing.
And it was this strangely shaped Plaga parasite that was the true mastermind controlling the Chaser Tyrant.
Nemesis-α Parasite!
A miraculous BOW biological monster.
Although it didn't have the "subordinate" control characteristic of the later Resident Evil 4 Plaga parasite, in terms of imparting enhanced abilities and intelligence, it was not much weaker than the Plaga parasite, perhaps even stronger.
After all, comparing Mendez, the village chief who was also positioned as a Tyrant, with the Chaser Tyrant, the Chaser Tyrant controlled by the Nemesis-α Parasite was naturally stronger.
This was true for its health bar, form, and even survival ability.
It's just that the Plaga parasite had wider applicability and stronger retained intelligence and subordinate control characteristics.
Individually, it was definitely not much stronger than the Nemesis-α Parasite!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss—!!!"
On the other side, seeing its protective shell instantly ripped open by Lisa's surgical knife, the Nemesis-α Parasite hiding inside let out a panicked warning hiss.
It looked at Lisa in front of it with great fear, attempting to pull its lower body tentacles, which were attached to the Chaser Tyrant's spine, out to escape.
But before it could take any further action, it was immediately firmly gripped by a Plaga parasite tentacle from Lisa's back.
Looking at its fellow creature in front of it, the Plaga parasite tentacle in Lisa's body didn't hesitate.
It opened its four large, petal-like mouths and fangs, instantly swallowing it whole!
Chapter 41: Derek C. Simmons
"Gulp… gulp…"
The Plaga parasite tentacle firmly grasped its fellow Nemesis-α Parasite and opened its large, petal-like mouth, fiercely devouring the Nemesis-α Parasite.
Watching the object wriggling in the Plaga parasite tentacle's pipe, everyone present felt a chill.
Devouring a Plaga parasite on the spot?
This situation was a bit too disgusting.
But there was no other way; this was something Lisa currently desired.
Although her third-stage evolution had restored her intelligence and memory, she had not gained high intelligence.
Devouring the Plaga parasite in front of her could bring her one step closer to being "human."
After all, Lisa, who had been subjected to William's insane experiments, had been tortured by hundreds of bio-viruses to the point of being unrecognizable.
The G-Virus had gradually taken over her consciousness, but it was due to the appearance of the Nemesis-α Parasite that William implanted it into Lisa's body.
This, by chance, led to it being absorbed and devoured by the G Virus, allowing Lisa to regain some intelligence.
And now, Lisa still couldn't resist the allure of the Nemesis-α Parasite.
Under the powerful devouring ability of the G Virus, the Nemesis-α Parasite completely transformed into nutrients and the key to evolution, all integrating into Lisa's body.
And at this very moment, Lisa's appearance changed again.
"Gulp…"
"Hiss…"
Her pale skin regained a hint of warmth and color, and the dark blood vessels inside gradually began to return to normal colors.
Her black and red cracked eyes transformed into human whites, but her pupils remained crimson.
However, the grotesque large mouth on her face, like that of a slit-mouthed woman, did not completely heal due to Lisa's own persistence, but her cheeks became much fairer, and her expression and eyes gained a few glimmers of light.
This was the change in Lisa after devouring the Nemesis-α Parasite.
Although there were no bizarre and exaggerated changes like growing horns, tails, fangs, wings, or even scales, it truly made Lisa evolve.
However, this evolution was internal, not external.
Now, Lisa's appearance was no different from a normal person, and she could even digest human food, no longer needing to consume flesh and blood to survive.
She was even easier to hide among humans than a true Ghoul.
Now she had strength, speed, survival, an upper limit for evolution, concealment ability, and so on.
Perhaps Lisa was, so far, the true evolver!
She was also Spencer's longed-for immortality.
After all, simply based on the anti-aging properties of the G Virus, living for a thousand years was not a problem at all.
Then, continuing to devour other viruses to reach new dimensions could indefinitely extend one's lifespan.
This was the dream time traveler…
"Bang!"
"Rumble—!!!"
On the other side, as soon as the Nemesis-α Parasite was dug out of the Second-Form Pursuer's head, the Second-Form Pursuer, which had originally been grim-faced, seemed to have its soul drawn out.
It immediately lost its ability to resist, collapsing to the ground with a heavy thud, creating a huge sound.
Just like that, the massive, tank-like Second-Form Pursuer completely lost signs of life in front of Javier and the others.
Was it dead?
Undoubtedly, yes.
After all, the Nemesis-α Parasite was the Chaser Tyrant's brain.
If the brain was gone, the body would lose all control.
Can a toy car move if its battery is removed?
Undoubtedly, no!
"…"
"This… Is it over?"
Looking at the massive, fallen Second-Form Pursuer, Jill's expression from a distance was truly one of disbelief.
This seemed too easy, not even on the same level.
It could basically be described as an instant kill; the gap was too wide.
And it wasn't just Jill; Javier was also very surprised to see this scene.
He knew the Second-Form Pursuer was no match for Lisa, but he hadn't expected the battle to end so easily.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
After all, this was the third-stage evolved Lisa.
Crushing the second-stage Nemesis-α Parasite's Pursuer was reasonable.
If it were Lisa in her initial state, who could only use slender Plaga parasite tentacles for ranged attacks, she might have been able to fight the Pursuer back and forth.
But after the forced upgrade by G William, it was completely different.
"…"
"It is indeed over."
Although he didn't want to admit it, the long-running farce was indeed over.
Murmuring to himself, Javier put away his guarded Springfield M1903 sniper rifle and tentatively walked to Lisa's side, placing his large hand on her delicate shoulder, wanting to see if there would be any abnormal signs from the newly evolved Lisa.
But fortunately, Lisa showed no signs of mental issues; on the contrary, she was very normal.
Especially when Lisa turned her head, her crimson yet clear and luminous eyes made Javier's heart tremble slightly.
They were beautiful eyes, and they also indicated that Lisa was now a true human.
She possessed human thoughts, rather than being merely a monster.
"We've been wandering outside for too long…"
"It's time for us to go home, Javier, don't you agree?"
Lisa's voice was melodious and pleasant, without a hint of hoarseness, as she looked directly at Javier and spoke softly.
Seeing this, Javier nodded and responded with an "Mm."
Indeed, although they couldn't return to their previous small house, they should leave Raccoon City.
Thus, after successfully dealing with the Second-Form Pursuer, Javier and the others did not return to the subway station.
Instead, according to Jill's explanation, they continued on foot through the subway tunnel to Raccoon City's power station.
That was their last stop.
Once they resolved the power supply issue in the subway station, they could successfully escape Raccoon City.
