《Hail to the King (RE8 Harem/fanfic)》Chapter 29 - Deus Machina Pt.3
Advertisement
Underneath the factory, in the tunnels of the village there is one other who refuses to die.
Travis pulled himself from the moldy pool gasping for air, the hole in his head dripping that moldy goo until it patched up. He looked at his hands watching the flesh grow around the finger bones. When the skin grew back the color didn't, the tips of his fingers remained a lifeless grey till they reached his palms.
He stood up and found himself back beneath the Megamycete, he clutched his face realizing he too was no longer human.
Your quite pathetic really...
Travis turned to face the voice but found no one, just he and the giant tumor.
You call yourself the alpha but you've been made a bitch 3 times now...
Whose there?
The person who needs Y/n dead more then you but our goals may not meet but our actions do... So you'll be my vessel...
What about Miranda?
What about me?
Travis turned to see Miranda gliding down the steps towards him.
I was... Curious how you'd feel about-
Your new failure, not impressed but not shocked either... You had Eve's blessing and still it wasn't enough... It may not of been you maybe it's about time I handled him myself...
She lies.
Travis spun around but again no one even Miranda did not respond to the voice, this made Travis feel like sanity was slipping away quickly.
When I find Y/n... He will die a slow painful death...
She lies to herself, her murderous tone is more eager to meet the man who seduced her daughters then eliminate him... Her mind is clouded by lust for another man... Not you Travis...
You are lying, aren't you?
Miranda turned to Travis slightly confused and annoyed.
What?
You want him to pound you!
Watch your mouth-
No!
Tell her Travis.
I refuse to serve anymore! Your lost in your own delusions, so im-
Miranda backhands Travis and the force sent him flying back.
You spit salt with no righteous cause, let alone cause to defame my motives! I only keep you around to fulfill the petty tasks but even now you fail at those...
Travis stood back up looking at his face in a pool of cavern water, he ran his fingers over the warped skin as it slowly regenerated.
... Travis...
Travis looked to the Megamycete.
Are you even listening?!
Travis began to walk to the tumor ignoring Miranda, Miranda tried to move but found herself paralyzed by some unknown force.
... Evelyn? What are you doing?... Evelyn?!...
Travis walked to the Megamycete and pressed his hands to the outer skin, it hummed against his hand as he watched veins run through the thin transparent film towards his hands.
It's beautiful...
The veins met his hands and punctured his skin, veins ran down his arms like snakes rushing towards his brains.

Ha.. Ha ha... Haaaahhh... HaaAaA-UuuuUgGh-
Travis' warped laughter evolved into inhuman guttural howling.

Chris and Y/n pushed open a hatch and found themselves outside again, on the upper floors of the factory.
What's the first move from here?
We can't split up... Heisenberg wants us divided because he nor his bots can handle us grouped together... Last I saw Leon was under attack and Ada-
Is right here!
Chris and Y/n look up and watch Ada walk down a set of rusted stairs.
Now we can get Kennedy.
Y/n didn't reply he just made his way forwards, Chris saw this visibly upset Ada.
You think after Tokyo he'd forgive and forget?
He told you? You probably think me a real bitch huh?
I never thought you'd sleep around to get your evidence-
It wasn't like that.
So you slept with him for fun or do you actually love him?
............. This job asks a lot of us... That's all it was... A means to an end...
Ada walked off to follow Y/n, Chris shook his head at all the unnecessary drama between them.
The trio walked across the catwalk towards an elevator when they suddenly heard gunfire higher above. The windows flashed as someone was firing rounds off.
The three looked amongst each other and made a sprint for the elevator, Y/n and Ada got on but before Chris could get on it shut suddenly.
Dammit Heisenberg!
Forget it, go find Leon ill look for Claire and a way out!
Then the elevator began to rise, Chris was left alone as the team of two now ascend another 3 floors.
Ada looked to Y/n as the two travelled up in silence, she wanted to address the elephant in the room.
Y/n-
Don't. Just don't... I don't want you dead alright... But I don't want you in my life either... Im not risking you ruining a good thing again... I could forgive betraying me but the fact you betrayed me with no answers to give... Let's finish this Heisenberg business quickly and you can leave the village whenever you feel like it.... Like always....
Wow now that's cold kiddo.
Heisenberg addressed them over the PA in the elevator. Y/n scoffed while Ada sheepishly kept quite.
They always say underneath a rose lies thorns, now your blowing the head off any rose before you even see the thorns... Well can't blame you seems like you both have scars-
Y/n returned Samurai edge to his pocket. He looked at Ada and she looked up at him, the two turned to the door as the elevator reached the floor where they were greeted by 4 dead zombies with a hole in each of their brains.
Ada and Y/n slowly travelled down the hall towards the spot where they saw the lights.

Then Ada heard a click, instinctively she pulled Y/n back just as spear sprung from the wall piercing head level luckily into the air.
I really don't like this guy...
Gotta respect his tact... Using every inch of his factory to strike our weakest spots... Too bad we couldn't come to a more civil agreement...
What do you mean agreement?
What do you think it means?
I think it means you might be making back alley deals with the enemy...
Sounds familiar don't it?
Alright you know what... Just say it, just say you hate me! Say you'd want me dead rather then anything else-
Y/n silenced her with a hand on the shoulder.
I want an apology... Start there then talk too me... But not now, i want a genuinely thought out one AFTER we get Claire out...
With that Y/n continued forwards leaving Ada a little star struck at his calm candor.
The two opened a double steel door to find a fire fight, Leon versus a horde of cyborg zombies. A driller was coming up behind but a quickly placed electro bolt at the lightning rod of a drill made for a quick death.
Y/n! Ada! Perfect, could use some back up!
Clearly~
Ada pulled a 6inch boot knife out and charged in, swift and sly stabs into the cyborgs glowing red heart core made for a number of deaths.
Y/n followed suit by channeling electricity into his body and delivered a combo of punches and kicks that created a cloud of sparks on contact.
Leon focused on cover fire, from an elevated spot he aimed his pistol and landed a double tap on a few heart cores across the board.
Y/n was charged by the jet propelled cyborg but with a well placed roundhouse filled with sparks it sent the cyborg zombie off course into two smaller zombies making mash of them before ot crashed head first into the wall.
Didn't I teach you that ol' kick?
No you taught me a classic and I made it better.
You can't out do a classic kid.
Leon jumped down and did a double kick of his classic RE4 kick, sending a cyborg zombie into the cogs of a large machine.
Ada got the last one with a toss of her knife, a bullseye to the core.
Just like old times Leon~
Not really... I remember the undead having less metal...
Yeah well Heisenberg doesn't do traditional...
Right... Hey where's Chris?
We got separated, he's 3 floors below us last we saw...
We need to regroup before...
Before what?..... Kid?
He could have sworn he heard something, a loud clatter that was out of place. Then he heard it again but closer, even Leon noticed it this time but where.
Then he knew.
Y/n quickly pushed Ada and Leon aside as Heisenberg burst through the ceiling with a javelin of scrap metal in hand.
There's my guest of honor!
Y/n impaled through the back, he managed to push the others to safety but at a cost to himself. The force of Heisenberg coming through the ceiling with weight of all that metal pushed Y/n the floor like it was soft cheese to a blowtorch.
On the way down he locked eyes with Chris who just narrowly evaded the impact.
Heisenberg rode the impaled Y/n through 7 solid floors of steel and concrete, a thunderous boom with every collision until they hit earth.
Heisenberg didn't hesitate to toss Y/n aside and slam him into the wall with excessive force, followed by a chain coiling around his throat like a noose just to pull him back.
On the way back Y/n met face to face with Karl's hammer which was as thunderous an impact as the 7 floors.
This sent Y/n skipping across the junkyard floor till he came to a skid and a stop at the bottom of a junk pile.
Woooooo!! Now that's an entrance... Come on young buck, let the festivities start!
Heisenberg twirled his super heavy hammer with ease and grace, Y/n stumbled to his feet and watched as the hole in gut slowly closed.
He looked at Heisenberg, then to Leon, Chris, Ada gathered by the edge ready to join the fray but he stops them with a hand. While Heisenberg was distracted with a monologue Y/n wasn't listening too so he pulled out his radio.
Chris.
What's your plan?
Turn off the factory, let Leon find Claire.
What about you?
I'll keep Magneto busy for now.
Y/n slipped the radio away and pulled out the Siphon he had Moreau working on in secret all this time.
Y/n slipped that into the back of his waistband, he then picked up a metal bar and electrified it in his hand.
Karl!
Heisenberg stopped talking and looked at Y/n.
Enough bullshit, either we end this or you can you walk away.
Oh I don't plan on running anywhere.
Shame... I had a great deal of respect for your innovations...
Shame... I thought this could have been a beautiful business partnership...
Y/n and Heisenberg had said their goodbyes and readied themselves for what could be death.
End of Ch.29

Reborn Into My Novel
What if you lived in the world of your own creation? As fate would have it, our dear amateur novelist, Ellie, was reborn into the world of her fantasy novel after falling asleep at her computer. Bewildered as she was, the first person that she met was the protagonist of her novel. To add salt to the wound, it was right before the tragedy that decimated his village as per his backstory. Will Ellie save the village (and herself) to risk changing the fundamentals of her novel? Will she instead let the story run its course and leave everyone in the village to their deaths? Disclaimer: This novel is a work in progress and will be updated hopefully at least once a week. Expect minor mistakes (maybe some typos and punctuation errors) since this is the very first draft. The author suffers from perfectionism and impostor syndrome and therefore attempts to use this as sort of a therapy to break away from perfectionism and self doubt. Basically, the author employs a “I don’t care anymore and screw this trash work” mindset just to get stuff rolling and not set any expectations. Basically, basically, the author just wants to write something and not care about planning and quality and all those nice things about writing a GOOD novel since it’s counterproductive. Kthxbye. ps: Thanks for even reading this trash work pps: You’re not trash for reading this trash work btw ppps: Thanks I love y’all so much Shout out!

I can summon my past lives
What would you do if you were the only cultivator on the planet? What would you do if you could summon the soul bodies of your previous lives and leech off of their experiences? For the first time in my boring life, I finally saw the light. I was given the mission to become the strongest by any means necessary. Lucky for me, my past lives were quite badass in their respective universes during their prime until their untimely deaths...well most of them, I think. Their experiences remolded the current me to become their best version. I learned something: As powerful as they were, they still died for one reason or another until it was ultimately my time to live. In this life, I vow to learn from their mistakes and live forever. Besides, there must be a reason this {Requiem System} I got was given to me in this life. I am scared I am the last life to be reincarnated. If I die, there won’t be another do over. And why would I die if my reincarnations are also invested in this life as I am? They came with their powers intact...just that they lack a physical body which I am happy to share. With beings that strong at my beck and call, I think the bar that I must surpass had been raised a little bit too high. I am called Damon Kaze and I welcome you to this journey of my last reincarnation of mine. I can’t guarantee it’ll be your cup of tea, but hey, sometimes you never get what you wish for. You just have to live with it and hope for the best.
