As Zen continued killing the aberrants he came across, the prompts popped up before him, but his darkening purple eyes were focused on the carnage he was causing.
Raven had avoided Zen's area as she killed her own portion of aberrants, anytime she noticed Zen moving in her direction, she did move to another area, because she understood from Nyct that he was not in the right state.
Zen cut through a quick before he ducked as a fireball passed above his head and killing the aberrants in front of him. He jumped back before turning around and cutting through a revenant. Zen frowned.

As if it felt Zen's discomfort, the records gave him a prompt which he heard in his ears. He immediately selected yes and the prompts stopped coming.
Due to the eldritch symbiote, Zen's stamina was unlimited, so he was not out of breath after killing so much, coupled with emperor's Bloodlust, he was limitless killing machine at the moment.
"How is he so strong?" The femsle voice asked as she watched Zen kill the aberrants around him through the eye outside the greenhouse. The vines trembled. "... I want him more"
A vine shot out from the ground and slammed into Zen who was sent flying as he crashed into a building. Seconds after, he charged out and stood outside the building that was crumbling down.
There was no dent on his armour, there was only black blood and green blood on it, as he stood there illuminated under the moon. He seem like a death knight.
Zen looked around and noticed that all the aberrants had been slain. He felt two life forces and he turned to look at where they were coming from. He saw Raven and Nyct who stood together.
Raven's heart stopped as soon she saw Zen turn his wolf head in their direction. Zen immediately charged towards them with his katana ready to chop. Nyct immediately appeared in front of Raven and blocked the sword.
Nyct did not budge an inch, he was a third order for a reason, but he couldn't help but frown, he understood what sort of monster his master currently was. If it had not been for his higher power level, he would have lost his life in this exchange.
Raven stepped back in fright as she saw the wolf's purple eyes glaring, as a low growl escaped it lips. Zen backflipped and landed on the ground before he had to jump into the air as several vines came out of the ground and attacked him which he blocked with his katana.
[Hellflame]
Black-purple flames burst out of the wolf's maws towards the vines on the ground which began to spread to the surrounding incoming vines. While the vines were burning up, a loud shriek was being heard from within the greenhouse. Hearing the shriek, Zen turned his wolf head towards that direction and ran towards it, before he reached it, he paused and looked towards a certain area in the air.
Raven wondered what he was looking at, when a slimy blade stretched out of Zen's armour and hit the air, a drone came to view as Zen's blade had pierced it rendering it useless.
"We were being watched?" Raven said in surprise, she had not expected it.
"Before we began to clear the aberrants last night, that thing has been there..." Nyct said as he appeared by her side.
The sun was already peeking from the horizon, Zen ignored the scraps and looked towards the greenhouse, the entrance was being covered by several vines, which had their eyes opened and staring at him.
"Tsk... How troublesome " Zen growled as he faced his palm towards the entrance. Ignoring the pleas coming from the being inside,his flames burned through the vines as he was walked inside.

"What was that?" A man wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and a labcoat stood in front of a huge screen which was static,he had dark circles around his eyes and he was not even wearing shoes. Around him were a couple of soldiers, if one noticed they would notice a couple of tables with aberrants on them, but those tables were placed in glass boxes filled with water.
"Dr. Teppei, please stay calm" the man with three big stars on his uniform said as he saw the man glaring at the screen.
"Calm, how do you want me to stay calm... That was my only drone..." Dr.Teppei turned her glare to the old man who broke into a cold sweat.
"... Buh I guess sacrifices can be made, I can make do with that thing, my scalpel is tingling" He continued as his black eyes glimmered, he turned to a girl with big glasses, "You, bring up the last footage before the drone got destroyed"
"Yes ma'am", the girl said as she ran her hands over her keyboard and the static big screen switched to a clear image of Zen in his symbiote form burning the vines and walking up to the greenhouse where he stopped and turned his head to look at the drone.
The drone had zoomed in on his wolf head.
"Show me the reading result" Dr. Teppei said as a man in labcoat walked out from a door with some papers in his hands which he handed to him.
He conjured a pair of glasses and wore them as he looked through the papers. As he kept reading, his smile kept increasing before he started laughing hysterically.
The soldiers stepped back a bit as they stared fearfully at the man, except the man with three big stars who watched the man curiously, he waited patiently cause he knew Dr. Teppei would explain his actions.
Dr. Teppei stopped laughing after a while, he looked towards the man and smiled, "Major Daichi, we are going out"
He turned around and walked towards another door which opened up and revealed the outside. It was a vast compound, with soldiers and civilians moving about. Modified vehicles drove past often.
"We are going to that greenhouse, I'll tell you why along the way, I'm sure you'll be interested after I do" Dr. Teppei said as he resumed walking, not minding that he was barefooted.
Major Daichi sighed before he looked at the soldiers around, "Denchi, Dazai and Lois, you're coming with me... The rest I'll leave the safety of this place to you"
After he said that, he walked out as two men and a young lady walked out and followed behind him.

Zen stood in the middle of the greenhouse as he stared at the huge burning flower in front of him. He had already undid the symbiosis, his face was pale as he released ragged breath. He was forcing himself to remain on his feet. Then a burnt vine shot out from the flower and stopped in front of Zen.
Zen saw a foetus wrapped in burnt vines, and he was stunned, he looked at the flower which immediately faded in the fire and he understood something. He stretched his hands forward and held on the foetus, which immediately pricked his hand, taking some blood.
"Sh*t!" He cursed as he let go of the foetus which remained floating in the air. As red blood energy covered it up in a cocoon.
Zen stared wide eyed at what was happening in front of him.
