1095 in Rhine labs, i become super star in Rhine Labs without even have chance to rest as i become completely Assistance of Kristen, usually we only observing and controlling something until i know she agree upon DOD program but i put blind eye as she not want to talk about it.
but 1 year this time, i create many great invention for myself obviously, such adjustment now my Rigging can be transform into any type of range and melee firearm simultaneously, my Energy armament can become medical object, and any other technology object even simple item such crayon and pen, knife.
and the fact my rigging is now already versatile enough to be my mobile workshop and mobile operating table, i am walking blacksmith and hospital now.
it was great but the benefit was Vesta Meteorite Economy Buff, which is Amplifies wealth from work and missions, providing abundant resources to further the my goals. so i obtained so many Cash in my house and resource material come from this world such metal.
i use it to create to create my own Air Force, i need more material and more powerful battleship and air force.
and Random item giving me additional material and energy source.
as i sit down smocking on the secret room that i build hiddenly for slacking off obviously, creating another voice suppressor due the assimilation before increment my buff, shit.
i have no Research accomplishment due my laid back attitude and i always joke around in meeting and no passion to do so as this people is glory seeker and i have no intent to find glory in here.
Despite many protest how i always slacking off, and other action that no progression at all, Kristen close her ear as it just another envious people but true value of me will shine in the time not just usually happened.
as a ruckus appear, as someone brought by other in outskirt of trimounts, Ifrit appear and she currently treated by other while for me lazily eating chips and approach the operation room.
"What is the problem" people who outside operation room look at me and show discontent as how laid back i am.
"No, it just survivor lab"
"So lab rat survive" i say that without bothering the shock other scientist.
"HOW DARE YOU"
"Yes, lab rat. she a lab rat from failed attempt of government experiment, you guys a nerd after all" i kick the operation door and look at Ifrit sweaty body and other doctor who treat her.
"Valor, what are you doing here ! we currently" i toss them outside and treat her on my own, i put my hand on Ifrit temple and her status instantly stable.
using Archimede's Treatise, Craft Buff. Allows the user to draw any design or blueprint in thin air using my finger as a pen. i diagnose full Ifrit body inside out from her normal physiology and her experiment attempt, in just span of 3 second i complete redraw her medical check up condition in detail that float in the air, as i observe the problem, i create solution, conjuring the item and medicine i need.
complete craft the medicine in the process Ifrit woke up.
"Where am i, WHO ARE YOU ! STAY AWAY !"
"calm down little girl, uncle want to cure you"
"CURE ME ! YOU LIAR ! LIAR ! LIAR ! STAY AWAY"
"No, can't do, the medicine is ready"
"NO I DON'T WANT MEDICINE !" i smile and pat her head with love and comfort, using Intense gauge combo upon my head pat, her emotion from angry, fear and cautious turn into sadness, hopeless and desperate.
"I AM SCARED PLEASE HELP ME !"
"I am if you be a good girl for moment, uncle try to help you. first, any pain ?"
"Headache and someone speak to me in my head"
"I see, that is good. you want that voice in your head gone ?"
"... Uncle can do that ?"
"Yes, Uncle telling the truth okay, Little girl is experiment subject weaponize human race, inserting shard of extinct race into your lower brain, the experiment failure and now you have 2 voice in your head, Sarkaz one and your brain. i will eliminate the Sarkaz one and leave the Sarkaz ability that already molded into your body as your natural ability, and reduce originium Cell assimilation in your body and pluck out some originium stone on your outer skin, how about that ?" Ifrit look at me with genuinely distrust as the Diablo inside her scream to her never to trust me, i will torture her back.
"..... are uncle try to use me as test subject"
"I swore, if little girl still hear that Sarkaz voice, not having the Sarkaz ability, and Infection status not abolished, little girl can report uncle to Columbia police due malpractice"
"I don't believe uncle"
"How about this, if little girl want to be saved, uncle let little girl play with fairy" Ifrit look at me with curious manner.
"Fairy ?"
"Yes. real fairy that little girl can play for whole day" Ifrit tempted but i need little push before calling Navy.
"I don't believe you uncle, Fairy isn't real"
"Navy" as i call her, Navy suddenly appear from my back, she float gracefully releasing unique distinguish sound as she float above us , fly over Ifrit creating twirl of fairy dust then perch on my shoulder.
[Hello !]
her voice make Ifrit eye shine like burn flame, her body made out of wisp and floating rubbing its body on my cheek.
"Meet Navy, my little Fairy companion. She is strong, smart, and more knowledgeable than bad people there" i point at the outside where Rhine Labs member stand.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle !" Ifrit super excited seeing Real fairy as the first time then i calm her down first.
"Calm down Little girl, uncle currently try to operate you, too excited will be bad because sudden outburst okay"
"yes.... i am sorry"
"Good, now let uncle do the job and let Navy accompany you in operation procedure" Navy perch on Ifrit pillow and rub her wing, she smell nice and ifrit calm down, as i start operating her.
i operate her with gentle, not hurt and without anesthesia and unsterile procedure, but Ifrit not freak out or feel the pain as how perfect my operation was, as i reprogrammed Collective data from Diabloz shard, and assimilate it using special laser cutting and more. as the operation done, i hasten the heal and then let ifrit drink the vitamin and the medicine.
"Drink the medicine first, it taste strawberry. while the vitamin is blueberry. this medicine not yuck and bitter like people created out there, taste bad and effect is too long" Ifrit sit down and drink the medicine.
"Is strawberry" she take the vitamin and she chug it down clean.
"it taste Blueberry"
"See, now little girl feel the body is hot, ask Navy to lead you to take a bath, follow Navy guidance okay"
"Un" She run with Navy to toilet to take a bath as i walk out from the operation room.
"Operation complete, she now become the very weapon of project diabolic, Savra with Sarkaz Diabloz ability, complete Different race Hybrid with shared ability and capability. It is your responsibility to take care of her, because i am lazy to taking care toddler and here is her medical check up before operation, confidential project is already put in Rhine Labs database, and government already informed that the project fail, you want to snitch to government that project success be my guest, but let me remind you one thing. Human Bottomless Malice know no bound, if she know that you sold her out, count your day because the mass murderer weapon come after you" Navy Appear with Ifrit completely Naked, i close my eyes as the woman panic seeing her completely exposed her naked body.
"UNCLE, UNCLE, MY ORIPATHY IS GONE, THE ORIGINIUM STONE ON MY BODY IS GONE !" her scream make other surprised as indeed, the originium residue is no more, thanks to study about oripathy and originium i do for 1 year prior.
"Little girl, you're not entirely free from it. Your body assimilates with foreign Originium, treating it like a battery. The Originium implant serves as a battery to power Sarkaz abilities. It grows with you as you age and develop, dear. Think of it like having a friendly organ donor whose function mimics that of an original organ, growing alongside you. Even if you overuse the Originium art contained within that Shard, the assimilation effect will still occur but diminishes over time, with the Originium excretion, once black rock-like, now becoming odorless sweat on your body. So, excessive use of the Originium art does make you easily tired, draining your stamina. However, due to the assimilation effect and human adaptability, it can also increase the energy you possess, thus preventing stamina drain, allowing you to use many cool variations of the Originium Art that Sarkaz possess. But Sarkaz individuals tend to be stingy in sharing their knowledge. You can study it for yourself."
"Uncle can use Sarkaz ability ?"
"Which race first ? there is many tribe in Sarkaz, such Lady Nasti there, she Banshee, have oral Originium art, if we improvise it using Banshee and Diablo will create same Unique Ability that same possessed by Draco Race like this" i take a deep breath, i scream loudly but creating a concentrated fire that release dragon breath, A massive napalm burn entire Half of Rhine Lab headquarter, luckily no casualty.
but the aftermath of the breath melt some of the infrastructure to the ground as i hiss, i reverse the condition back to normal just by counter clock finger move.
"Like that, if you don't like offensive ability. there is many available knowledge but you need to be smart, strong and creative to have many cool ability such" i create beautiful butterfly like wing using pure flame, it creating unique dress of flame wing that scorch the ground. and i create many clone of Ifrit using Flame body, she jumping and interacting around me like playing together.
"See, many implementation and application whether for harming people, protecting people or just another try new auxiliary skill for your Originium art arsenal. play with Navy bring her wherever you like outside or here, don't worry, Navy can guard you now go play" Ifrit pick my hand as i de-active the fire manipulation.
"I want play with Uncle"
"Okay, i need to change first" my lab clothes change into Smart Casual-Office where i usually use to flirt to nearby school teacher in just mere second. i tuck my hand sleeves and adjusting my wrist watch, taking out pomade and rub it on my hand then comb my hair back creating a simple vitamin to grow my hair into white to my my hips, it was smooth and reflecting a light from the hair strain alone. i adjust my glasses and look at her with smile on my face.
"Oh, i forget your clothes, arms up" Ifrit doing t-pose, i take out many high quality silk that i keep from dynasty warrior, i design tomboys style for Ifrit, she like energetic daughter in her rebellious phase.
after creating funky and goth but not edgy, cute and funky < this is main part.
after done design the clothes, i magically put it on her, in instant, then for finishing touch comb her hair and braid it a little, done. masterpiece.
"done, behold !" my Rigging appear creating a mirror from a thin air, Ifrit was delighted seeing her new attire, not silly experiment robe like that.
"AMAZING, THANK YOU UNCLE !" she hug me despite her body to small, she not even reach my stomach.
"Yes, yes. little bit weird when you hug me while i am standing. please don't do this" i held her hand and we walk together like Father, Daughter and cute pet that is a fairy.
while everyone confuse how much rollercoaster emotion they experience, but some woman actually get charmed how handsome and gentle i was to Ifrit despite i literally toss some of them from operation room due how inefficient their method was.
"i want go on date too" everyone look at Kristen who suddenly snap out of it, she cough and become stoic.
"i told you right, he have talent not only research but doctor, professor and perhaps tomorrow we can check her medical status" as for me i play with every entertainment in trimounts with Fairy, me and her become celebrity in the city, i am tall and handsome while ifrit energetic and always excited upon new thing.
we visit many restaurant, go to park and any attraction place, giving her good memory of her as we return to Rhine Labs, she already sleeping on my hug.
"welcome back, do enjoy the vacation" from Kristen tone, she definitely jealous.
"Oh, gluten get jelly ?" hearing that remark from me some of scientist who pulling all night chuckle but Kristen little bit not accept that.
"I am not jealous, bold of you assume that i will be jealous"
"Just tell me you want fancy dinner yes ?"
"..... yes"
"Alright, let me put Ifrit first to sleep, she exhausted" i put Ifrit on her bed, despite there is no dormitory in here, it make me annoyed but i let it slide this time, i put her groceries and her stuffed toys on the rack then go dinner with Kristen.
as we arrive in fancy restaurant in trimount, we sit down followed by our stalker that is Saria, Mumu and happened to be Joyce.
the waiters appear, i whisper to him that table of those three i will pay it too, the waiters peek on 3 lady on other table, he give me bro code.
"understood" as we already ordering the food, i look at Kristen.
"i have no word for her, she victim and yet you not face her, i was your shield and be black sheep when the experiment exposed" Kristen raise her eyebrow upon my remark.
"What do you mean ?"
"Since Ifrit there, i don't want to be snitch, someone expose her to government and she tomorrow will be taken by Government custody and I will be blamed upon unethical experiment. this is my last day to meet you, i will escape to place far from Columbia reach. this is our last dinner and perhaps if fate destined us to meet again as enemy, allies, or perhaps friend, i would glad too" the waiter bring the food and we eat it in silence, Kristen eat that food so bitterly, she powerless against the government and only can swallow it.
i stand up, and deflect the smoke bomb. i take the smoke bomb, toss it back to sender, the smoke explode outside but suddenly Columbia army appear and surround the place.
"Scientist Valor Ismael, you under arrest by" i slap the captain of the group, he instantly pass out, i dash and break all the armor of Columbia in just one single strike and finish them in less the 7 second for 14 people.
"What a pain" i take a deep breath, just simple whistle, all the police and military outside pass out. i get out from the chaos and run away by stealing Police car and run away to Ursus, using Originium Car and columbia police car, i enjoy the life of war criminal.
Now i get wanted by Columbia and Kazdel, i need to do another warcrime in other country, Ursus, Victoria, Iberia, Lungmen, Yan, Higashi, Kazimierz. 6 major country as reunion member.
i faster the car until it broke down near Kazimierz but i take this opportunity to gather more loot and maybe more Child Soldier.
Geneva Convention is another check list.
as i reach the place of Reunion hideout, i approach them.
"hey ! who...." as they seeing me some of them was struck by my beauty, i walk to center of gathering and sit down in fire place.
"You need aid ? you need support ? you need weapon ? you need ration ? tell me and i will provide it for you" despite i using Mercenary Ezio clothes and some of reunion member know me.
"YOU ! YOU LEGENDARY MERCENARY VALTOR !" A fanboy appear and approach me with interest.
"It was year ago when Babel gone..... yes, why ?"
"Sir, I am your biggest fan. Many mercenaries speak of your legend, fighting entire Sarkaz squadrons alone, splitting Rhodes Island's landship in half with a gigantic energy blade, destroying mountains and entire areas with just a single pen, and completely obliterating another half of the landship. You single-handedly decimated 90% of the Sarkaz main army using heavy artillery weapons. You're not just a legend; you're a myth in the Mercenary Circle. Many people search for you all across the world, but none have heard from you. Perhaps you've been employed by the highest order. Encountering you here is one of the luckiest chances for me." Okay there is fan boy here, but also there is still Alina and Talulah, there is no Canon event but the butterfly effect will gonna be messy than this.
"Oh my what a amazing circle, tell me more. how much my head bounty ?"
"You have 60 Million Bounty but the wanted poster everyone want you alive apparently"
"Wait, why you here, are you fighting for cause of Infected ?"
"No, I just want to get Wanted by 6 Major country, I already become wanted criminal in Columbia due false accusation of Inhuman Experiment of Victim from destroyed lab, the victim already saved by "Shady" corporation but i need to be wanted at least, Ursus, Victoria, Kazimierz, Yan, Laterano, Siracusa, Leithanein, Sargon and Iberia" everyone was shocked hearing my reason to join this movement.
"no, we cannot accept person like you"
"I have Oripathy cure" as i cut her, instantly silent, not single word uttered not even sound of the icy thundra can be heard.
"what do you say ?" Talulah not believing what i say to her.
"I know how to cure Oripathy, completely eliminating the "Stone and Black Cell" from your body, rendering them nonexistent, though you can still be infected but not severely. Originium cells assimilate completely into your body, forming a new organ to serve as a battery for using Originium Art in case you lack an Originium Unit. If you use your body as the Art Unit, your Originium Assimilation can be an alternative energy resource to activate your Originium Art, or with specific technology, it can be treated like an Art Unit, functioning as a limited battery while the Originium cells in your body act as an ever-growing reservoir of energy. This process grows with you as you age and develop through intense physical training, pushing the limits of your Originium Art, and various art training or art study methods. Think of it like having a friendly organ donor whose function is to supply energy for your existence, growing alongside you. Even if you overuse the Originium Art within your body, the assimilation effect will still occur but diminish over time, with the supposed black rock-like Originium excretion that appears on your body now becoming odorless sweat. So, excessive use of Originium Art may make you easily tired, draining your stamina, and causing excessive sweating, but it's compensated for if you lack protection with Originium Art. What do you think? Do you believe it now? If not, as a leader, why not try it first? This will prove that my cure is not a 'False Promise.' If I lie to you, you can cut my head off and claim my bounty in any country you want." She look at Alina who also shocked the method to cure oripathy was simple as that.
"what we gonna do ?"
"..... question how about side effect" Alina ask the good question there
"Side effect from Oripathy is followed upon the medicine spread, but it is different if the person already have the disease before infected status appear, but i have experience to operate and treating disease carrier since birth" Talulah look other, some are neutral, some are shake their head, some are nodding especially person who know my mercenary record.
"i cannot fully accept you because your evil intent to join us, we are not terrorist sheltered group"
"I see" i stand up and flick my finger, suddenly there is a shadow behind Talulah, a snake like figure who surprised to see its body detach from its host, as Talulah pass out upon shock.
"You, how do you aware that i possess her"
"You keep hissing, it ring to my ear. Ageless, Deathless Black Snake. one of Immortal in Ursus that leech upon person Mind to doctrine your ideology, what a pathetic Immortal" i point my finger as my Rigging creating dome around Deathless, he was panic as i move my finger to execute him, that moment a crushing bone can be heard on the dome, from bright white turn into crimson blood.
i clockwise finger movement to completely erase him, as is done, i grip my hand, the doom suddenly creating a wormhole that completely decimated that dome into oblivion and i reverse the condition and situation, condition of my rigging back, situation where the effect of wormhole in that area return like nothing happened.
"my job here is done, as my cure is still valid, you need it to give Infected right to be in this broken society of the world, i will see you next time, Navy" Navy appear, the fairy float around me.
[Hello !]
"Navy lets find any abandoned Originium Mine that have no worker there"
[Yes, this way !]
I follow Navy guiding me to abandoned Originium Mine that we along the way interact each other.
"AMAZING, LEGEND WAS TRUTH, CAPTAIN VALTOR WAIT FOR ME !" My fan boy start run to catch up with me one by one start following me to abandoned mine in northern Thundra.
i jumpscared by Item box, i open it as it give me A pickaxe.
[Netherite Pickaxe : Durable and strong pickaxe, it enhanced with Efficiency to Increases mining speed, Fortune as Increases drop Originium once it mined with 100% luck, Silk Touch whenever Mined Originium mineral will drop as Originium Prime instead of shard of unfiltered Originium]
"diggy diggy hole" i sing a song while reversing condition of this place, before was only hazardous mine now become mine full or Originium stone ready to be harvested.
i harvest all of them, enjoy it with passion as i sing dwarf song usually sing by wind rose.
as the other reunion found the mine with my singing voice with burning passion to mine the stone as they reach the mine seeing abundant Originite Prime laying around on the floor, as the mine have many Active originium stone that keep regenerating from their destructed form.
"CAPTAIN !" i stop singing, all the Originite prime vanish to my pocket dimension, i get out while topless and full of sweat.
"Why you here ? you should leave, border patrol and Emperor Blade will be here soon if you in here, i am not risking people like you in this place" as i say that, Emperor Blade nearby, as i get out from here we see black cloud around the horizon.
"Emperor Blade, we should leave now !" the reunion member run away return to their base but some Reunion such Patriot and heavy hitter in here stay.
"you should leave, i don't trust you fully but seeing you able kill immortal being can be tolerated"
"Appreciate but you should go to"
"No, we fight together" i shake my head as i teleport them away using light teleportation as i jump to fight Emperor blade head on.
i Mined his head to death as my physical ability slice his body open, i take the Collapsal shard and take out my pod, try to fuse it with my Originium blood creating special Chaos Ability and Void ability, little bit modification now i had perfect Originium ability.
I added with another injection from combination of Seaborn cell mutated with specific elder and another Ifrit Sarkaz ability and creating more and more injection and little bit augmentation.
as i go in, the pod active using the energy of Originite Prime i already gather previously, as soon the pod active, i infuse with many collapsal ability and more as i completely transcendence to beyond my scope.
the Pod explode and kill me in the process but i live as i respawn again in the mine, as i check the Stats, i was wide eye.
