Chapter 468: Oddball

Soon.

The White Queen then displayed a video file on the solid wood desk, presenting it to her "boss".

Just look, the holographic screen showed—

File number: Medium Clearance·0114456.

Reviewer…

Confirmed: Employee ID UM-00001, Mr. Sui.

Content description:

The file concerns OriginalBody Luo Jia·Sui, who is responsible for handling Zero Six Universe incidents, and includes related pictures and videos of eliminating and controlling numerous Zero Six Universe anomalous creatures.

At this moment the holographic screen fell into darkness, reflecting Sui Bian with a slicked‑back hairstyle, handsome features, and unbuttoning his shirt cuffs and collar.

A few seconds later, the image shifted from black to bright.

Sui Bian, whose hands rested on the seat armrests, could tell from the screen's display—without needing the brief text on the right edge—that it was Colorado's Sonoran Desert.

After all, Colorado is the state where Raccoon City lies; even though the Zero Six Universe lacks a Raccoon City, it's much the same, familiar beyond description.

At this moment.

The scorching sun blazed, the heat warping air and space, and across the highway that cut through the "convex"‑shaped mountain range, a chain‑reaction SUV convoy stretched out.

The vehicle in the middle appeared custom‑made, much wider and larger than the other black SUVs, essentially a full‑size armored car.

A group of suit‑clad, sunglasses‑wearing "bodyguards" holding micro‑blasters immediately disembarked and swiftly erected a simple barrier near the convoy.

At the same time, the "bodyguards" pointed their barrels at the cluster of "Qipa" that had surrounded them, causing the chain‑reaction crash.

Upon close inspection, most "Qipa" wore tight, textured special outfits and armor, with flamboyant helmets that easily drew attention.

In fact, these "Qipa" are the "superheroes" contracted to Wat International, each possessing various special abilities.

Moreover, among the Qipa injected with Compound No. 5 since childhood, roughly seventy percent have "steel skin" and "iron bones".

In plain terms, about seventy percent of their skin, bones, and even organs can resist conventional firearms and massive impacts.

The most recognizable among all Qipa should be Wat International's "headliner"—

the Seven-member Group.

However, although called the Seven-member Group, only five arrived on site.

They are, respectively: one in a bright‑blue, wear‑resistant, heat‑proof bodysuit, clearly the "Huo Che Tou" of a rap‑infused race.

Another, primarily black with a cape, short black hair just above the shoulders, appearing about thirty‑eight or nine years old but actually a hundred years old, the "Lao Nainai" level "Feng Bao" (Storm).

A third, also all black, with black mask and goggles obscuring his features, body laden with daggers, throwing knives and darts, resembling a towering ninja, called "Xuan Se".

There is also a figure clad in overly revealing armor and a short skirt, wearing a metal crown, brown wavy long hair, whose overall style matches that of an ancient Greek female warrior, the "Mei Fu Nü Wang".

The final one, in a sky‑blue bodysuit, red combat boots and wrist guards, a cape patterned after the American flag, handsome with a golden slicked‑back hairstyle, the "Zu Guo Ren".

And it is precisely Zu Guo Ren's sudden descent that forced the lead vehicle to brake sharply, causing the chain‑reaction crash, halting the convoy and surrounding it with the Qipa.

Facing the gun‑wielding, sunglasses‑wearing "bodyguards", the Qipa were not afraid at all; they are accustomed to combat where firearms cannot cause any damage.

But…

What the Qipa do not know is that the "bodyguards" are actually intelligence agents of Ge Ti Si, so the "ink" they wear and the micro‑blasters they hold are holographic glasses and laser micro‑blasters.

Even the agents' suits are stab‑ and bullet‑proof and can resist a certain degree of high‑temperature radiation; although they cannot match the TPS‑model Power Armor, they are sufficient in this Zero Six Universe environment.

Nevertheless, both sides remain in a standoff, the flashpoint being that Zu Guo Ren has yet to issue an attack order to the Qipa.

Moreover, the on‑scene intelligence agents keep a calm demeanor; having undergone professional training, they naturally show no surprise.

It is the Qipa side whose expressions vary.

The Huo Che Tou, who can run at extreme speed, has cold sweat on his forehead and labored breathing, suggesting a heart issue.

His body's strength, speed, and stamina are top‑tier, and he can even wield purple lightning as the "Lao Nainai" Storm, constantly mocking and aloof, seemingly disregarding everyone.

Xuan Se…

This individual wears a mask and goggles, making his expression unreadable.

Moreover, this mute—perhaps due to brain issues preventing speech—ninja may have the weakest skin, organs, and physique among the Seven-member Group, yet his martial arts are undeniably supreme.

Standing at the front of the convoy, hands clasped behind his back, legs slightly apart, the confident Zu Guo Ren stared intently at the enlarged SUV in the convoy's center, waiting patiently.

As the leader of the Seven-member Group, Zu Guo Ren's own strength is unmatched, surpassing his teammates and all other "superheroes".

He possesses super hearing, strength, speed, defense, flight, laser eyes, X‑ray vision, and every other ability imaginable, and theoretically his physique could withstand direct nuclear or hydrogen bomb blasts.

Indeed.

Even the strongest nuclear and hydrogen bombs on Zero Six Earth do not frighten him; whoever wields them would be supremely confident.

The nearby Qipa, influenced by Zu Guo Ren, no longer know fear; each is eager, awaiting his command to tear the intelligence agents apart and slaughter them.

Only Mei Fu Nü Wang's gaze flickers, sometimes fixed on the enlarged SUV, other times turning slightly to glance sideways at Zu Guo Ren.

She seems conflicted, believing this operation, even after she signed with Wat International, runs contrary to the "justice" she upheld in her youth.

Yet due to various constraints and Zu Guo Ren's deterrence, Mei Fu Nü Wang is forced to go with the flow, becoming tainted with all sorts of "filth".

At this moment.

A "giant" dressed in custom black trousers and a white shirt, standing four meters three centimeters tall, opened the door and, under the gaze of the Qipa, stepped out of the enlarged SUV.

The giant's features were sharp and well‑proportioned, complemented by a neat short haircut and wheat‑colored healthy skin; his appearance would utterly crush everyone present and all humanity on Zero Six Earth.

Even from certain angles, it stubbornly resembles Sui Bian, who bears the title of the Master of Humanity.

No need for excessive explanation or speculation; this "giant" is one of Sui Bian's many offspring, who holds an almost fanatical "faith" in the "Human Truth," and, like Luojia, dislikes killing and war.

Leave the SUV.

"Clang~." A sound, and Luojia still remembers to close the car door.

Immediately after, Luojia, like his father, unfastens the cuffs and collar of his shirt, rolls up both sleeves, and while smiling, scans the surroundings and walks slowly toward the front of the convoy.

"."

The moment Luojia appeared, the scene instantly fell silent.

The vast majority of oddballs, who were previously brimming with confidence and shouting insults, now reduced their breathing depth considerably, restraining themselves for fear of making unnecessary noise.

Even though the oddballs believe that the invincible compatriot can defeat and slay the fabricated OriginalBody offspring, the 4.3‑meter height standing there, even without any superpower, still leaves Luojia profoundly awe‑inspiring.

In contrast, Luojia, who condenses Spiritual Energy and can sense nearby emotions, reaches the right side of the lead vehicle after only a few strides.

Stop.

Luojia looks around once more, then gazes down at the compatriot who is looking up at him, remaining silent.

"Offspring of the Master of Humanity? Pfft…" Yet the confident compatriot, with a disdainful twitch of his lips, exhales and continues to mock:

"Alright, buddy, you and I both know there is no Master of Humanity, nor any parallel universes, alternate dimensions, legions, or alien races."

The compatriot's statements are all based on comics, anime, and games released by Umbrella on the Zero‑Six network.

Speaking, this true representative of America, "Captain America," whose expression shifts from a fake sunny smile to a cold, angry stare, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, says in a deep voice:

"Everything is a lie; you and I are merely lab‑grown non‑human freaks, with no mother and no father! Honestly, buddy, if you are willing to break free from Umbrella's control, perhaps we can together achieve 'equality,' 'justice,' and a world without lies! Without deception!"

By the end, the compatriot becomes increasingly agitated and frantic.

As the compatriot claimed, it grew up from childhood under the cruelty, torture, and coercion of a group of white‑coated researchers belonging to Wort International.

The researchers used firearms, poison gas, extreme heat, and radiation in direct experiments to determine the limits it could reach.

Since its earliest memories, the only companion it had was a white blanket; nothing else existed.

Moreover, to soothe its emotions, the researchers frequently employed various lies and even assigned a still‑graceful woman, the vice‑president of Wort International, to act as a mother figure.

Thus, the compatriot, lacking paternal and maternal love and trust, gradually became a superficially glamorous yet privately selfish and self‑serving scumbag, who, when displeased, erases everything with laser eyes.

Precisely because of its fate and the role assigned by Wort International—a story where a spaceship carrying an alien infant crashes on an American farm, then is raised by a farmer couple who teach the child what it means to be human and how to wield superpowers to uphold justice—makes the compatriot think…

Luojia being the OriginalBody offspring of the Master of Humanity, and the Astate legion, and everything else, are all fabrications by Umbrella.

Therefore, the compatriot would naturally think that exposing it as a personal scumbag, merely a product of Compound Five, would completely ruin its public image and make it the mastermind behind thoughts of destroying and ruling everything—only the "evil" Umbrella.

When the compatriot learned that Luojia was traveling with the ground convoy to Denver, Colorado, to conduct promotion, he led a group of equally disgraced "superheroes" to intercept midway.

In the compatriot's view, Luojia must either obey his orders or be killed by him; only these two paths are available.

However, Luojia, who can sense the other's emotions and thoughts, understands why the compatriot has become so extreme, odd, and insecure; the true culprit is Wort International and its heartless researchers.

But this does not mean the compatriot is entirely innocent; the other party chose to fall willingly. Thus, the young OriginalBody smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, poor buddy, although I don't want to hurt you, the things posted online are all true. Yes, I'm not like you; I have a father, and he is a kind…

Even though he can be strict and harsh at times, overall he is a very responsible father.

As for the mother, hehe, buddy, I won't say more, lest you become even more jealous and hateful."

"Hahaha!" The compatriot instinctively doesn't believe, thinking everything Luojia said…

Seeing this.

Luojia directly releases Spiritual Energy, forcibly imprinting part of the memory onto

"Ugh!"

The compatriot instantly lets out a cry, furrows his brows, shuts his eyes, and presses his hands against his temples, repeatedly retreating.

At the same time, in the compatriot's mind, scenes appear of Luojia after rebirth spending time with Sui Bian, as well as Red Queen, White Queen, Alekxia, Rebecca, and Artemis talking to and teaching Luojia, along with Helusi and other OriginalBody brothers.

?!

Seeing the compatriot in such agony shocks the assembled oddballs.

They clearly never expected that the overwhelmingly powerful, lofty compatriot would become so vulnerable before Luojia.

Storm, Locomotive, Xuanse and other oddballs, either out of fear and hesitation or standing ready, constantly prepared to attack Luojia and the intelligence agents, but…

"Heh!"

However, Queen Meif, who should have stood with the oddballs, looks at the compatriot with disgust and sneers, "So you also have days like this."

"These… are all false!"

The compatriot, gritting his teeth against a splitting headache, glares angrily, his pupils flashing bright red as he aims a laser at Luojia.

Meanwhile, all the oddballs except Queen Meif also launch an assault on Luojia and the intelligence agents as the compatriot roars.

However, Luojia simply waves his hand, releasing even stronger Spiritual Energy to control, causing the compatriot, Storm, and the other oddballs to become paralyzed and immobile.

The intelligence operative also seizes the chance, decisively pulling the trigger.

"Tada—ta—ta!!" High‑energy beams flash.

"Pfft! Puh!"

In an instant, the oddballs, proud of their "steel skin" and "iron bones," are directly melted through.

Lately it's become somewhat "slow."

The Black Cloak Patrol's next chapter ends, and in fact the superhero arcs are accelerating.

Mainly because the enemies of these two worlds can be handled even by a battalion commander and a camp champion, making it seem somewhat "boring."

As for the world faced by Fogrum, the author will adapt it, drawing from the Zaha version and a DC animated film for a "merge." It is certain that it will be far more difficult than the Marvel Cinematic Universe; Astate is no longer a dead end, and Earth is essentially fallen.

However, the author hasn't studied DC much, so the chapters should be kept to about 10–15, of course depending on circumstances.

Next will be a story centered on Warhammer.

These superheroes serve to give underage OriginalBodies an "appetizer."

By the way, there are two 'nameless OriginalBody's; one the author already has an image and background for, the other everyone can try to provide some ideas for, hahaha, creating an exclusive legion.
