Sorry for the delay over the last few days, guys.

Jack rose slowly from the cracked, yellowed earth, dust and debris cascading from his shoulders. His crimson eyes scanned the grotesquely bloated form of the mutated Crow King. The monster had expanded even further, black feathers stretching wide, wings blotting out the sun, and its massive beak gaping like a canyon.

A slow grin curved Jack's lips. "Hmm… this just became more interesting."

"Guaaaa…!"

The Crow King's shriek echoed like metal grinding on bone. Its enormous beak sucked in the air with terrifying suction. The small crows it had summoned—thousands of them—were helplessly drawn into its mouth. In less than a minute, every last one vanished, swallowed into its dark gullet.

The creature writhed violently, its blackened flesh twisting as if teeming with wriggling maggots. Its growth accelerated unnaturally, and within moments, it towered nearly sixty meters into the sky. Its shockwave of sound—harsh, grating, and almost palpable—radiated outward, making the nearby women clamp their ears in agony.

"Damn it… it's grown so much!" Jill groaned, a hand pressed tightly to her temple.

Teri's face went pale. "Jack… can he really win against that thing?"

Alice's gaze froze, ice-cold and unflinching. "No. That creature… it's far too strong now. Jack can't hope to beat it alone."

Jill turned toward her sharply. "Lose? Alice, what's your problem? You've been trying to kill him since the beginning. Jack hasn't done anything to you personally!"

Alice's fists clenched with deadly intent. "He killed Matt… led Umbrella's convoy… Carlos died because of him. Jill, is that not enough?"

Jill's laugh was cold, sharp. "Matt? You mean Nemesis? Don't fool yourself. Without Jack, it would have died anyway. Nemesis was just an experiment, a tool. Death would have been mercy."

Alice's jaw tightened, but Jill pressed on. "And that convoy—Umbrella didn't only want him. They wanted you. That trap? All of it was for you. You can't deny that."

Alice's eyes narrowed, glinting with icy fire.

"And Carlos… he attacked Jack relentlessly. If Jack were a normal man, he'd be dead already. Carlos knew the risk—and still acted."

Alice's lips curled in a grim, humorless smile. "You're right. Everything you said is logical. But logic doesn't change my choice. My decision stands. I will kill him."

Jill exhaled smoke lazily, smirking. "Then I hope you're ready to pay the price. Jack's patience isn't infinite, Alice. Push him too far, and you'll learn what true power really is."

"Guaaaa…!"

The Crow King shrieked again, locking its blood-red eyes on Jack. Its gaping maw dripped black blood, and every feather bristled with lethal energy. It wanted nothing more than to shred Jack to pieces.

Jack's grin widened. "You've changed a lot… I like fighting monsters this big. Makes it… exciting."

"Guaaaa…!"

With a deafening roar, the Crow King summoned eight massive tornadoes, fifty to sixty meters tall, swirling like living blades around Jack. Each one spun violently, razor-sharp air currents slashing outward, screaming death through the desert.

Bang… Bang… Bang!

The tornadoes closed in on him, a wall of spinning knives. Jack's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Underestimating me again, huh?"

Blue energy flickered across his skin like lightning, illuminating the dust-filled battlefield. "Crazy time… begins now," he growled.

Bang!

The tornadoes collided around him, exploding with deafening force. Sand, mist, and shattered debris erupted into the air. The eight twisters merged into one colossal vortex, hundreds of meters tall. The storm's suction ripped apart anything nearby, shattering buildings and tossing debris like toys.

Alice strained, extending her hands, focusing her Thought Power. She anchored Jill, Claire, and the others, holding them against the vortex's pull. Even her immense psychic strength flickered under the pressure.

"Hold steady!" she shouted. "If you move, you'll be torn apart!"

"Guaaaa…!"

The Crow King's triumphant screech cut through the storm, grating and metallic, as if mocking the resistance.

Within the swirling chaos, something remarkable happened. Millions of crimson Transformium particles resisted the wind's pull. They spun together, forming a spiraling storm of their own, glowing like a miniature sun within the hurricane.

The Crow King froze, sensing the danger.

Bang!

The vortex erupted at its peak, sending a surge of red energy skyward. The Crow King shrieked in fury as the storm it had created was torn apart from within.

The tornado collapsed almost instantly, the dust settling to reveal a massive silhouette standing in the center.

Bang!

The ground quaked as an enormous figure landed. Standing nearly eighty meters tall, forged entirely from black Transformium, Jack's full Transformer form had awakened. His right hand wielded a fifty-meter-long black blade, and his left arm had become a colossal ion cannon, pulsing with lethal energy.

Alice, Jill, and the others stared in stunned silence. Even the monstrous Crow King looked small before him.

Claire swallowed hard. "What… what is he? That's not human!"

Jill exhaled slowly. "He's Jack," she said softly. "And he's no monster. He's just… Jack."

K-Mart's throat went dry. "I… I can't even imagine that power…"

Jill turned to Alice. "Alice, you can't beat him. You've never seen how deep his strength runs. You have no idea what he's truly capable of. Thinking you can kill him? That's a fantasy."

Alice's fists tightened until her knuckles were white. She said nothing.

"Guaaaa…!"

The Crow King roared, spreading its massive wings and lunging forward at terrifying speed. Its claws gleamed like blades of bone, aimed directly at Jack.

Jack's voice boomed, deep and commanding. "You want to play rough?"

The ion cannon on his left arm flared, energy condensing into a deadly blue sphere. "Then eat this!"
