Supreme Corps

As soon as Alan emptied the content of the syringe into his body, a pain-filled roar left his throat as he screamed in pain, falling to the ground as he moved around in pain. It was clear to see for anyone that he was going through unimaginable pains. 

Veronica looked at the scientists in shock, but she could barely do anything since the Siliks attacked immediately she forced them back. They became more ferocious, heading in the direction of the scientists. 

Alan's roars of pain did not stop, as his body showed signs of spasm. 

When the leading Scientist saw this, he shook his head with a wry smile as he let out a self-mocking laugh, "Hahaha, years of research gone, just like that. It didn't even have any use." 

This was the same result with the past subjects who had tried the serum. Even the ones with chaos energy ended up the same way. 

"It's not like we would've been able to take it out of here, it's better trying than not even trying at all." The other Scientist consoled the leading scientist. 

Veronica might be one of the strong members of the Supreme Corps, but she wasn't the strongest. She couldn't fight against all four Siliks on her own. If there were another member of the Supreme Corps here, then the outcome might have been different.

If Veronica decided to escape, she had at least a sixty to seventy percent chance of surviving with her strength. However, as long as she wants to save the Scientists, then she would only end up dead along with them. 

"Haha, yeah. It's not that bad now that I think about it. I mean, what could be better than knowing that the result of your years of hard work and possibly humanity's last hope was worthless before dying?" The leading Scientist asked, and before the other Scientists could reply, he answered his question himself, "Oh wait, everything!"

The leading Scientist did not even have the strength to stand any longer. He had already given up hope of surviving this encounter. Sitting on the ground, he waited patiently for his death to come. 

At this point, Alan had gone quiet. This was something the Scientists expected when taking into account how their previous test subjects ended.

They couldn't take the risk of using animals as test subjects since giving them such power might cause their own destruction. What they did was to run countless simulations, while doing multiple tests with the human DNA, only after getting some results would they try it out, but the result had all been the same, whoever was tested had died in the same manner Alan was about to. 

Alan's heart stopped beating, and his body went cold. He was dead. 

Bang! 

Veronica was sent flying by one of the Siliks, and she crashed almost fifty meters away from where the scientists were located. 

Before she could recover, one of the Siliks rushed over to Alan's body. It stood over the body for a second or so before it fired off an energy beam at him. Even though it could sense that he was no longer moving, it felt compelled to destroy his body. 

Alan's lifeless body was hit by the energy beam and a large gaping hole appeared on his chest. Before the Silik could launch another attack, it was forced to retreat. 

Boom! 

Veronica managed to break through the blockade of the three Siliks and forced the Silik back before it could kill the Scientists. 

"Run, I'll find you." Veronica said to the Scientists. 

Ezekiel was still out cold, and it was unknown when he would wake up. Alan was dead, so there was no use in bothering with the two youngsters. 

The leading Scientist raised his head and his hopeless eyes stared around, then at Alan's body, "You can't protect us, leave." 

Veronica shuddered when she heard this, she knew the Scientist was right, but she couldn't let them die. They were close friends of hers, and they were also the ones closest to finding the perfect weapon for humans against the Siliks. 

The Siliks attacked once again and Veronica was forced to turn around, "Go, I'll hold them off for as long as I can. I will come to find you later."

"Veronica." The leading Scientist called her with a stern voice, "Leave, I want to at least die close to my final project."

The Scientist walked over to Alan's body and his pupils shrunk, the reason for this was because the large hole on Alan's body was closing, healing to be precise. Regenerating at a speed visible to the human eye. 

The jaws of the Scientist dropped as he watched an unbelievable scene. He could not even speak, his mouth was just wide open while his eyes were as big as they could get. 

The other Scientists thought the lead Scientist had lost it and walked closer to him to try to persuade him to leave. They did not get as close as the lead Scientist before seeing the shocking scene of Alan healing. 

The four Siliks, as well as Veronica who were in the midst of fighting, noticed a change in the air. Looking in Alan's direction, they noticed a white smoke rushing into Alan's body. 

The Scientists retreated when this started happening. 

The Siliks discarded their battle with Veronica and rushed in Alan's direction. 

Veronica did not dare to let them get close to Alan. Alan seemed to be undergoing a change, and it was very likely that it was as a result of the content he emptied in his body. 

Boom! Bang! Bam! 

While they were fighting, one of the Scientists had summed up enough courage and sneaked into the van to get the other gun. Opening fire at the Siliks. 

The Siliks appeared to have gone insane as they didn't bother with the attacks and rushed toward Alan. 

Veronica naturally did not let them get their wish. This was the opportunity she needed, and being an experienced fighter, she took advantage of it. 

One of the Siliks lost one of its arms as they rushed toward Alan, yet did not slow down. It was as if they were possessed. 

Veronica tried her best, but against four opponents who have seemingly discarded their own safety, it was impossible for her to stop them. 

Just when they were only a few meters away from Alan, he stood up. 

The hole in his chest was completely covered, but that was not the thing that grabbed everyone's attention. Armor-like scales started to appear on his skin, protecting his body. His body grew larger, from being 5 '10, Alan grew to over 7' 5 getting close to the size of the Siliks. 

Looking at his figure, he looked just like a smaller Silik, only that he had more of a human-like appearance and his face was still slightly discernible from the scales on his face. 

His eyes changed, and in the place of his regular human pupils, a rectangular red pupil appeared on each eye. His hand changed as large claws appeared on them, his teeth all turned very sharp, and his ears grew longer and had a pointed tip. 

Lastly, small horns appeared on his forehead. Opening his mouth, a soft sound came out. 

Growl…
