Tina's heart was racing, even as she cursed herself for the bold and foolish idea.
"Save her! Save her! Save her!"
Fighting with Leon had taught her that if someone was in danger, and if she could save someone who needed saving, then she had to fight to the best of her ability. If she hadn't entered the cyber cafe, all she could do at the sight of this large monster would probably be to run, or simply support from a distance.
But now...
She looked towards the perfect T-virus sample in her hand, while the TT still had Liu Yuan's statement on it, "It's theoretically possible if it has a bit of human DNA in it."
It was just a theory, the success was unknown, but it was worth a try. Even if it couldn't turn it back into a human, it would be worth it to weaken the power of the Gastrea virus. According to the system's hints, the Perfect T Virus would gradually replace the Gastrea virus Virus, keeping the lifeform at a stable level. The most frightening thing about the proto-gut organism was its recovery power, and with the recovery power suppressed, winning would not be a problem.
But the way forward was blocked. The number of Stage 4 Gastrea's in front of them was so large that it made people tremble. Although Kayu Senju could control Gastrea, she could only control up to Stage 4, and having the third order help was like a joke—Stage 3 would become Stage 4's rations, and there would be no chance of resistance at all.
"Leave it to me, I'll help Tina kill all the blockers," Hiruko Kohina said with a happy laugh. She could feel that this was the most enjoyable fight she'd had in a while.
"Take this," Tina said, throwing a small knife to Hiruko Kohina.
"Eh?"
"Live!"
"Orders?"
"Orders."
A smile appeared on Hiruko Kohina's face. She liked Tina—not the kind of like she had when she was with her dad, but she liked being with her, and she was going to be with Tina forever and ever. And anyone who got in her way, she was going to kill—every single one of them.
With some help to stop them, Tina and Kayu Senju continued on. However, the next people to stop them were not Gastrea; they were humans.
They had gotten word from somewhere that Tina had appeared here.
Protecting the Tokyo area? Impossible.
The Gastrea of the Zodiac did have a record of kills, but it was definitely not something that the civilian police could be involved in.
Instead, capturing Tina was a very good choice.
"Wanted Tina Sprout, you are now under arrest for murder."
A dozen groups of civilian police and initiates, and there were even ranked triple-digit existences among these people. One or two were fine, but more people were very difficult to deal with, not to mention the constant circling of airplanes in the sky. Instead of intercepting Capricorn, they intercepted her.
Tina took a deep breath. She was a bit desperate right now.
Scorpio was at least a few dozen kilometers away from here. With help, would she still be able to make it there in time?
At this speed, arriving by herself would only result in two outcomes: the Tokyo area being destroyed, or Scorpio being killed. The second scenario would be fine; at most, one's plans would be ruined.
But if the first scenario happened...
"No! No matter what, we can't let it destroy this place."
There were not only cursed children here but also a large number of civilians. Studying these days had taught her one thing: the vast majority of people were blind followers, and whether these blind followers were bad or good or evil was no reason to let them die.
But now, is it really too late?
Just as she was despairing, the sound of fighter jets came from the sky. Two fighter jets hovered in mid-air.
"Yo! Is our little Tina in some kind of trouble? Want a ride?"
The one who greeted from the airplane was no other than Claire.
"Claire?"
"Call me sister~"
At the same time, a hook lock was thrown out from inside the airplane and wrapped precisely around Tina's waist, lifting her with force and pulling her onto the plane. Simultaneously, a red figure exchanged places with her to land on the ground.
"Just in time, it seems," Ada Wong said, bringing Tina to another plane and laughing lightly. "You told me that only unity we can win, now you want to fight alone?"
Leon, who was controlling the plane in the front row, waved his hand behind him. "Is it time to deal with that big guy? A BOW that big can blow for the rest of its life when it's taken out."
Sitting in the back seat, Tina shook her head. "No, I want to try and save her. She's a... victim too. Leon, help me."
"Okay~"
Just then, Chris's teasing voice came over the intercom. "What about me?"
"Thanks, Uncle Chris!"
"How many times have I told you, it's brother, not uncle!"
"Uncle~"
Claire laughed, "Brother, you're getting old~"
"Damn it!"
On the ground, Ada Wong had a smile on her face as she watched the two airplanes leave in the sky. But then the smile grew even wider as she looked around at the civilian police and the initiates.
"Guys, the fun is just beginning."
It all happened so fast that the civilian police and initiates didn't even react to what was going on before Tina was rescued. However, it didn't matter. There were still two other people who were related to Tina, so it would be easy to catch them and find out Tina's whereabouts.
"Looks like there's trouble~ Little monster, do you have any solution?"
"Solution?"
"Make them all lose their powers!"
Kayu Senju, who had just acquired the Veronica Virus, had fully grasped its power. Killing the people in front of her was as easy as slicing and dicing. She could treat them like a normal person would treat a cursed child. However, she couldn't kill them. But she could manage to disable these people in front of her, for example...
Vines that seemed like tentacles suddenly appeared, catching the civilian police off guard.
A gun?
In the eyes of Kayu Senju, the speed of the bullet was so slow that with a slight tilt of her head, the bullet missed.
As for the power and speed Initiators that sprinted over, they were even less of a threat. Now that she was stronger and faster, and as the battle progressed, her body was adapting to the Veronica virus.
The Veronica virus was trying to fuse with the Gastrea virus. Being the perfect virus, it was trying to create the perfect host.
On the other hand, Tina, who got on the airplane, soon reached the surroundings of Scorpio. Seeing this, Chris couldn't help but tease, "This thing, it's bigger than anything I've ever seen."
Leon said, "One look and I know it's not easy to deal with. Tina, what are you going to do?"
Tina took a deep breath and pulled out the Perfect T Virus. "Use this."
"Virus?"
Tina nodded, "That's right. This is the Perfect T Virus I got, and it doesn't have any side effects. As long as it still has humanity in it and human cells, she can turn back into a human. There's only this one left."
"Do it! Save her. If it fails, we'll then..."
Chris had already made up his mind. He was anti-BOWs no less, but if this BOWs could really save people, he would do his best to help.
Tina catapulted out. As a Cursed Child, her own physical qualities were far beyond normal, and with the Mold Virus she had acquired in the earliest days, she herself was beyond human. What she wanted was simple: jump over, inject the virus, done.
But just at that moment, Liu Yuan on the stone monument stood up. "One more step to go, Tina. Go for it."
A golden light enveloped the surroundings. 'Law of Regression.' This Golden Order Incantation removes all buffs within range, and the fusion between Gastrea was judged as a buff. The fusion between Gastrea temporarily disappeared, and the black creature resembling a core appeared in Tina's eyes.
"Go on, that's the one."
Having fought so many BOWs, she naturally knew the importance of the core.
Tina rushed up, and with one shot, accurately pierced the true core of Scorpio. Along with the invasion of the T-virus, it let out a roar. At the same time, a magical scene happened. It was turning into a human.
