Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 917: Power is Everything

Even a C-level ninjutsu, when released in his hands, is as powerful as hundreds of ninjas releasing ninjutsu at the same time.

"Your evolution is indeed a revolutionary challenge to biological science."

Wesker's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to contain a tremendous amount of force.

"The Blacklight Virus, originally designed as the ultimate weapon, unexpectedly became the catalyst for your evolution. It gave you superhuman strength, speed, and even the ability to absorb knowledge instantly. But as you said, behind this power lies an unspeakable price."

Alex Mercer turned around, his eyes mutated by the virus flashing with complex emotions.

He slowly walked to the window, looking at the complex world outside where high technology and ancient traditions were intertwined, feeling mixed emotions.

"Every time you devour something, you are expanding your boundaries and exploring the depths of human nature."

he said softly.

"Those memories, like a tide, flooded into my mind, allowing me to experience countless joys, sorrows, loves, hates, and vengeances of life. They made me more complicated and more lonely. Because in this world, no one can truly understand me anymore, including myself."

He took a deep breath and continued, "But it is this loneliness and confusion that has become my driving force to move forward. I realized that only by moving forward and breaking through can I find my own light in this endless darkness. I yearn for understanding and for more power."

He paused and continued, "Because only in this way can I continue to break through my own limits and reach a height that no one else can reach."

Wesker agreed very much and he also worked hard for this.

"Don't eat it all, we still need manpower."

Wesker said to Alex Mercer.

"Don't worry. I used the Black Light Virus to transform several people. I announced to the public that those who were eaten died because they could not withstand the power of Poison Escape. But even so, there are still many people lining up to awaken Poison Escape."

Facing Wesker's reminder, he smiled calmly, a smile that showed both confidence in his strength and a deep understanding of the complexity of human nature.

He did use the Blacklight virus to transform several people, and these "transformers" not only gained the ability to use poison escape, but also became part of Alex's experiment.

Those individuals who were "sacrificed" because they could not withstand the power of poison escape were cleverly woven together to claim that they sacrificed themselves in pursuit of ultimate power. Rather than causing panic, such stories inspired more people to yearn for and pursue power.

At this point, Wesker's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement.

"In this world, strength is indeed overvalued. For ordinary people, becoming a ninja is almost the only way to change their destiny. They crave power and long to break free from the shackles passed down from generation to generation, even if it means facing endless dangers and challenges."

Wesker said with a smile.

He sighed and continued, "But this is also the sadness of this world. Daimyo and nobles enjoy generations of wealth and glory, while common people can only struggle in endless labor and poverty. What they long for is just an opportunity, a chance to prove themselves and change their fate. Although the road of ninja is full of thorns, it is also the brightest light in their eyes."

The ninjas transformed by Wesker using the T virus and G virus are undergoing rigorous training.

They were just ordinary civilians, but because of their desire for power and their fight against fate, they were chosen by Wesker to become his "personal guards." These ninjas had no complaints and were even grateful, because in their eyes, this was the only way to break free from the shackles of generations and realize their self-worth.

They knew that if Wesker had not appeared, they might never be able to escape the shackles of fate passed down from generation to generation.

As for death?

Death is nothing in the face of power.

In this ninja world, strength is everything. It is not only a guarantee of survival, but also a symbol of status.

Daimyo and nobles enjoyed privileges and glory for generations, and their descendants were destined to an extraordinary destiny from birth.

For those people of ordinary backgrounds, life is an endless cycle - either they work as farmers for generations, facing the earth and working hard; or they work as fishermen for generations, fighting the waves, day after day, year after year.

They yearn for change and to break free from these invisible shackles, but the reality is like an impenetrable net that binds them tightly.

Becoming a ninja has become the only light of hope in the eyes of these civilian families.

Although this road is full of unknowns and dangers, compared to the ordinary life with a foreseeable end, it at least provides the possibility of changing one's destiny.

Ninjas not only possess extraordinary martial arts, but also carry the glory and hope of their family. Whenever a young person embarks on this path, the entire family will be proud of it, because they know that this may be the only chance to break the generational curse and achieve class leap.

However, the world of ninja is also cruel. High-intensity training, frequent battles, and the threat of death that may be faced at any time make this glory full of blood and tears.

But even so, there are still countless young people who are willing to gamble their youth and lives on an uncertain future. Because in their hearts, death is not scary, what is scary is to sink forever in the abyss without hope.

The arrival of Wesker and Alex Mercer has undoubtedly brought a new storm to this land. The power in their hands is both the source of destruction and the opportunity for rebirth.

In this world where power is supreme, they interpret the complex relationship between survival and death, hope and despair in their own way.

For ordinary people who desire to change their destiny, whether they choose to follow Wesker or Alex, it is an opportunity to change their own destiny.

Because it is not a war period now, the intelligence of the Poison Village was obtained by intelligence personnel from the five major ninja villages and other villages.

It's just that because the Poison Village is so dangerous, the "Poison Escape: Poison Mist Technique" set up by Wesker and Alex Mercer formed a natural barrier, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter or exit.

If you approach it rashly, you will only be poisoned to death.

And there is no antidote because these poisons are viruses. The ninja world may have the possibility of cracking the Black Light Virus, T Virus, G Virus and other viruses, but it is impossible to complete the cracking so quickly.

So if you get infected, you just wait to die.

Those spies had no choice but to look for opportunities in the Kingdom of Waves.
