Chapter 569: Earth: The Last Battle Against Ivan
Earth, year 2037.
After the incidents that brought the end of the test subject 0, Miranda, the organization led by Ivan Wesker didn't waited for someone new with her capabilities to show up randomly.
They simply decided to create a new one themselves.
Using the advanced technology which they held thanks to their deals with North Korea and China, and the large funds they got from these two countries hopping to get a slice of the cake of the bioweapons that Ivan Wesker was creating, the organization quickly began a malicious and aberrant experiment.
They began to simply create life themselves, someone compatible from the very beginning would be greatly fitting of their experiments, and they had realized that if they couldn't find someone, they had to simply create it.
Using the modified DNA of Miranda, and the preserved frozen blood, skin tissue, muscle tissue, and bone marrow from her spine, a truly aberrant creation began.
Manmade horrors beyond comprehension.
Or well, in simpler terms, a Homunculus.
The obsession of Ivan Wesker over test subject 0 provoked him to become mentally insane, to the point that he believed it was his duty to "bring her back to life" as she was the one and true goddesses in this world.
With his dreams and visions intact, he decided to bring her back at long last and see if it was possible to continue with his dream and aspirations of becoming a god with her.
A god of the new world...
An ambitious dream, and quite narcissistic at that.
But for an insane man with power and wealth, even such a dream seemed feasible as long as he could continue down his path without faltering.
The blonde man wearing black glasses looked into the entity growing into the flask filled with cold amniotic liquid. It barely resembled something, but it looked like Miranda at her 6's... however, it lacked legs and only had a single arm, while the rest over her torso was covered in growing tumors, slowly forming the rest of the limbs.
Only one eye had developed, a glowing red eye, which often opened sometimes, glaring down at Ivan who smiled back at her with a pleasant expression.
Her other eye was simply empty.
Her long black hair waved around the interior of the flask, as Ivan admired her beauty.
The beauty of his attempt at being god.
The creation of a homunculus was always thought to be something of a taboo, something that should never be touched, something that... should never be done.
Creating human life with science had been a possibility since some time in Earth, many big nations such as USA had already showed their first cloned children, cloning the lost fetus of a mother whose child died before it could be born.
Giving the false feeling that their child was revived.
But this wasn't reviving a person.
It was simply creating a different being altogether.
And it could be said that these homunculus... they were not like normal people.
Synthetic humans had slowly become a polemic talk across the world.
Of course, Ivan did not cared about any of that, he didn't even cared about anything that happened around the world as long as it wasn't related to his own goals.
The man's crimson-red eyes looked at the amorphous girl growing from the flask.
It had been several years since the experimentation began, and he had seen her growing from an amorphous mass of flesh into the thing she had grown.
The little girl stayed silent while looking at him.
She always glanced around her surroundings, but stayed in silence, expressionless, as if she were dreaming while being awake.
What could she be thinking?
What were her ideas?
What was her personality like?
"Ah, Miranda... My goddess... You're looking as beautiful as ever today... You're growing so big... I am so happy that you've grown into a decent girl..." said Ivan.
"..."
A few scientists reached Ivan to report him of Miranda's clone current health status.
"Sir, this is Miranda's health as of now. As you can see, she seems mostly stable for now..."
"Her development has been quick; in just three years she had reached this state... perhaps in a year more she'll become capable of walking outside the flask and live independently."
"Usually synthetic humans taken five years to do that, but she might take four!"
"I see... I want all of you to hurry, my little Miranda seems eager to explore the outside world." Said Ivan.
"Understood." Said the scientists at the same time, going back to their work.
...Meanwhile, a large group of troops began to stealthily infilter the sewers connecting to the large building where Ivan and Miranda's clone were.
A stoic man with a muscular build, short black hair and brown eyes commanded his troops across the sewers, as they began to slowly move across the dark and damp area.
"Chris, are you sure we should jump into the action already? Won't Ivan escape once more with the clone?" asked a woman at the side of the man leading the troops, with long red hair and sharp emerald eyes.
Her body exuded a strange and transparent aura... she was clearly not a normal human. It became apparent as she wasn't as heavily equipped as her fellow companions, for some reason.
"Lucia... We have waited way too long for this bastard. I cannot possibly wait any longer... All the people he had killed... all the innocent lives he had taken... I won't tolerate this bastard being alive any longer..." said the man leading the party, Chris Bluefield.
"To think that the organization would end up contacting an Esper like me from all people for the job... I guess I cannot help it, I will cover your back." Said the woman.
"Thank you. I am counting on you... three years ago I didn't even knew about the existence of you people... But I guess there's always more things to learn about this world." Sighed Chris.
