Chapter 580 - Earth: The End Of An Innocent Soul
-----
As Ivan and Chris fought with the assistance of Lucia and the soldiers, the soldiers aside from those two got a few messages on their speakers!
"That girl, you see the thing floating in that glass tank? Destroy that thing and kill her, put her out of her misery! She's a clone from the previous test subject zero. If she's left to live, she'll cause countless disasters! We cannot afford that!"
The scientists within the organization quickly ordered the soldiers to act and move to their own new tasks, although they were still somehow supporting this man from the shadows, they felt like they had to share this info with Chris.
However, the scientist knew that Chris was a moralist sometimes, he had already pitied the girl Miranda in the past and had doubted in killing the girl many times before she was ultimately shot down, making it so many lives were lost because of his own indecisiveness…
The soldiers looked at one another as they then saw Ivan fighting against Chris and Lucia.
A group of soldiers continued providing guns support while the other quickly decided to sneak behind the entire fight and then, pointed their guns at the water tank.
Ivan's senses sharpened as he quickly sensed what was happening, trying to move there to stop them.
"Stop!!!" he roared.
"You're not going anywhere!"
Chris caught Ivan and quickly kicked him down into the ground, his kick was strong, making Ivan lose the air out of his lungs. The Russian man gritted his teeth in anger as he roared back at Chris, his blade slashed through his leg, although it didn't sliced it off, a large wound was left behind!
SLASH!
"Ungh…! Bastard!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Chris shot down Ivan's head multiple times with his bullets! However, Ivan's head was just as resilient as the bone growths he could create, the bullets ended getting stuck on his head as the Russian quickly kicked back Chris and attempted to escape and save Miranda's clone.
However, a wall of flames suddenly stopped him from advancing, as it suddenly waved around and formed a blazing dome of fire, which Lucia had conjured using her advanced techniques and manipulation over flames!
Ivan tried to cross the flames, but Lucia made them extremely dense, and as if they were something akin to water, the flames entangled Ivan's entire body and made it extremely difficult for him to move away from the place, while Chris caught him off guard and punched him down once more even while catching flames on his own fists.
CLASH!
"Agh!"
All the while the other soldiers were pointing their guns at the water tank…
Some doubted, after all, it had the mild appearance of a little girl.
Was this alright for them to do?
But the insistence of the scientists through the speakers forced them to make a decision. The soldiers quickly fired their bullets, as the entire water tank, which was supposedly made of anti-bullet glass, cracked and shattered.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
CRAAAASSSHH!
SPLASH!
Water fell downpour over the entire floor, as the being that was floating in there suddenly was forcefully brought to the outside world ahead of time!
"Ahhh… Agahaghh…"
Miranda's clone began to cry like a baby that had been born. The cry of a little girl made the soldiers suddenly stope what they were doing, as they once more doubted what they had to do.
However, their general and the scientists through the speakers all gave to them the same order.
"Shot down the girl!"
"Don't think of her as a girl, she's a monster!"
"Do it before something bad happens!"
Chris noticed what was happening, as Ivan gritted his teeth in anger at them.
"Stooooop! Leave me goddess alone! You monsters! You're all savage barbarians!!!" roared Ivan.
"F-FIRE!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Chris saw as his men began to shoot down a little girl in the floor, barely being able to move, struggling to breathe, even.
"What… What are you doing?! General! I thought we were going to rescue the girl!" roared Chris to the speaker.
"Chris, you're way too childish sometimes. We cannot rescue an abomination!"
"We have to kill her NOW!"
Chris heard the sounds of countless bullets falling over a little girl's body, as the little girl groaned in agony for the few seconds she could live before falling to her imminent and premature death.
"Agghhgagagh! Pa… papa…!"
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
…
The soldiers looked down, the girl was more than dead now, with several holes through her skull, and her brains leaking out…
The amorphous clone girl was dead, more than dead now.
Most of the soldiers present were newbies, young blood, who had never done such extreme orders before.
Something such as shooting down a child… it was never within their expectations.
But they had to comply with orders.
Chris gritted his teeth in frustration, but knew deep down that his own morals were flawed, that girl wasn't really a human, that girl was merely an aberration brought back by Ivan.
Yet…
Even then…
He couldn't help but feel such strong remorse.
Such strong guilt!
Why? Why did a small and little soul like hers had to go through such suffering?
But instead of shifting the blame to his men or his Organization, he shifted it to the trembling and crying man in front of him for creating her in the first place.
However, Ivan was groaning in such anger and wrath that suddenly, his own emotions got the better out of him.
"NOOOO!!! MIRANDAAAAAA! AAAAAAGGH!"
"What the?!"
Ivan roared angrily as his entire body suddenly began to grow amorphous, countless fleshy tumors began to grow all around his entire body, making him become a pulsating mass of flesh!
Tentacles emerged out of his body as several eyes suddenly opened across his fleshy body, and then, spider-like legs surged from his back, crawling around!
A large tentacle suddenly hit Chris, throwing him away as if he were a ragdoll!
CLAAASH!
"Uuaggh…!"
