[FF7] Those things after marriage

Sephiroth met Genesis again on the outskirts of Nibelheim.

"Even if there is no promise tomorrow

I'll definitely go back to where you stand

The water droplet that became the hope of the stars

To the end of the earth, to the edge of the sky, to the distant waters"

A familiar voice, reading a familiar verse.

The man in red was sitting on the rocks of the hill, still holding his cherished "loveless" in his hand.

Sephiroth felt in a trance, as if he saw the scenery a long time ago.The red-haired friend repeated the verses that he had almost memorized.And he was standing not far away, listening to the words that he didn't appreciate but remembered in his heart again.

Everything is the same as when it was still in Shinra.

It's a pity that at this moment, things are different.

In the end, they still stood on the opposing side for no apparent reason.

"Good day, Sephiroth."

The red-haired man closed the "loveless" in his hand, and greeted him calmly as if nothing had happened.

"Genesis."

The silver-haired man stepped forward.

"Why are you leaving?"

He chased him for so long, never for Shinra's mission, just wanted to ask 'why'.He just wanted to know what his friend was thinking and what was embarrassing him.

Why, he never refused to explain to him.

"No reason, just staying in Shinra, I will never be a hero." Genesis said briskly, "I can't be a hero, so naturally I can only choose to stand on the opposite side of a hero, isn't it?"

"Heroes, I..."

Before Sephiroth finished speaking, he was interrupted by Genesis again.

"This is what I hate the most about you, Sephiroth." The red-haired man showed a disgusted expression, and walked up to Sephiroth step by step, "You have everything I yearn for, but you never cherish it, like It is the title of 'hero', and you can easily say such words as giving up and not wanting it."

"You can even give it to me at will...but I don't need alms, Sephiroth."

"It's mine, and I will fight and fight for it myself... Even if I lose my life for it, it doesn't matter... But, I would rather die than need other people's charity."

As Genesis said, he put the sword in his hand in front of him, and magic lines began to appear on the red sword.

"So come on Sephiroth, let me take the title of hero from you with my own hands!"

Genesis's offensive was fast, but Sephiroth's reaction was not slow.

The sparks from the collision of the swords shot out in all directions, and the two who were separated at the touch of a touch exchanged positions, facing each other with their swords.

Sephiroth still had a lot of questions he wanted to ask him, but Genesis didn't give him a chance to have a good conversation, so he just attacked him blindly, and his moves pointed at the vital point.There was no sign that the other party was a friend and showed mercy, and the thick murderous intent was almost materialized, and they rushed towards Sephiroth together with Jian Ying.

Even if Sephiroth wanted to talk to him, he was aroused a little bit of anger.

In the face of Genesis's attack, he no longer blindly defended, but seized the gap in his attack and launched a favorable counterattack.He remembered what Esther said before, 'If you can't communicate well with words, then use your fists to speak! '

Just when the two were fighting inextricably, the huge sword body hit Sephiroth from one side.

"Angel."

Sephiroth jumped back and looked directly at the third person who suddenly appeared.

The tall young man stood beside Genesis in silence.

"I know you're looking for Esther - I'll let you know if you win."

Angel very simply raised the destruction sword that he had always cherished in his hand.

"Come on, Sephiroth!"

***

Esther didn't know about the battle between Sephiroth and Genesis.She stood behind Lance, looking at the metal statue in front of her and the huge tank behind it.

"The start of Project J, Xenovia."

As Lance spoke, he somehow removed the metal statue in front of the pipe.The eerie, life-size statue fell to the floor next to it with an unidentified liquid, making a loud bang.

Esther subconsciously covered her ears and took two steps back.After the echo disappeared, he put down his hands covering his ears and looked at the huge tank in front of him revealing his true colors.

Inside the jar was a woman, a woman who looked quite young.It's just that her body surface covered with veins and ominous red eyes made it impossible for her to be positioned as a pure 'human being'.

"She is the source of all destruction, the seed of disaster." Lance reached out to touch the cold tank with a mocking smile on his lips. "However, there is still a group of people who think that she is a gift from the planet, the treasure of the goddess."

"However, before she could bring out her destructive nature, she had laid the groundwork for a series of tragedies. It's a pity that until the end, no one discovered that everything was caused by Xenovia."

"What the hell is that..." Although Uno saw records about Project J in one place, Esther has never been able to know what it is.

"A long, long time ago, when the ancient species ruled this planet, a 'disaster' from outside the sky came to this world. From then on, the ancient species began to fight hard against it, until in the end, at the tragic price of almost genocide Seal it up."

Lance suddenly told the story.

"In the following many years, the ancient species gradually disappeared from this planet, and the seal remained peacefully at the place where it first landed - the Great Northern Hollow. Until a long, long time later, it was so long that I didn't know what the ancient species was Humans have unearthed it."

"The seal was opened, and the disaster was about to spread again. The ignorant human scientists discovered that it was a treasure bestowed on mankind by God, and it was the key to human evolution. So scientists began to use it as a material for research, from the beginning Animals, and later human experiments... failed experiments did not discourage them, but strengthened their beliefs. In the end, a new way of thinking began to emerge."

"Crazy scientists began to experiment with themselves, and one of them decided to transplant Jenova cells into their unborn children after communicating with the other - in the end they succeeded, and their cells reached human beings The strongest individual in history. And trained him to be the strongest special soldier of Shinra Company, and people on the whole planet called him a 'hero'. The poor child who was used for experiments since he was never born is... ..."

Before Lance finished speaking, Esther subconsciously said the name that was deeply etched in her heart.

"Safi...Ross."

"That's right...but there is more than one child like this. After all, Shinra Corporation is not just one or two mad scientists. There is more than one person who wants to climb to the top position. In addition to Sephiroth's plan, There is another plan g... It's a pity that plan g didn't achieve the expected results, so in the end, the power still fell into the hands of the person who succeeded."

"As for the failed products of Project G, except for the dead ones, the remaining two are still living in this world as research subjects—until they discovered what happened to them and escaped Shinra." Lance shrugged his shoulders, "But since he took Dr. Holland with him, he probably still couldn't escape the fate of being an experimental subject."

"So Genesis and Angel are also...?" That's why they left Shinra in such a drastic way?

Lance didn't answer, but Esther could get the answer she wanted from his clear eyes.

So her husband...her friends are all experimental products of Shinra Corporation?

Esther thought about countless results, but when the real result was spread out in front of her, it was still beyond her imagination.

But she soon realized something was wrong—if it was just because her origin was different from normal people, then as long as no one knew about it, it wouldn't be a problem, would it?They have been together for so many years, except that they are particularly strong, and there is no difference? ?

"But I didn't see them being experimented on later? Baojo died too. These things should have passed, right?"

She really can't figure it out.

"...Because all of this is just the beginning. Project g is incomplete, so Genesis and Angel, who are the products of incomplete experiments, have probably begun to show symptoms of deterioration to a greater or lesser extent... For Genesis, who strives for perfection in everything, it is probably unbearable."

"As for the finished product, Sephiroth... Do you know why Xenovia was sealed by the ancient species?"

Esther shook her head when she heard the words. She only recently knew about the existence of Xenovia, so how could she possibly know what it is.

"Jenova... is a parasitic life. And it is a very exclusive creature. The 'monsters' you see in the specimen room are the products of parasitic failure. Jenova will cooperate with human's own immune system Confrontation, the result of the two-to-two struggle is that the normal structure of the human body itself is destroyed, making them look like neither human nor ghost. The most terrifying thing is that Xenovia will also attack the consciousness of the host, making the parasitic object Irreversible loss of spirit. Ultimately turned into a real 'monster'."

"...but Sephiroth and the others are all fine now? They didn't..."

"That's because they were injected with Jenova before they were born, so they won't be rejected by the immune system, and on the contrary, it will strengthen the host's body from the very beginning, making the host immune from birth. Possess a body that far exceeds the physical fitness of the average person."

"However, Xenovia is not a philanthropist. Everything it does is for itself. Therefore, whatever it has given you, it will take back even more."

"Just like humans need to eat in order to survive, they also need to eat-however, their 'food' is all the energy on the planet. Although it will strengthen the physical strength of the parasitic life forms, in the end, it is only using them as a springboard. Just sucking energy. Even when they have nothing else to 'eat', the host will be used as food."

The blond-haired girl fell to the ground in a daze.

Everything she knew today completely overturned her cognition.

Whether it's the existence of Xenovia, or there is such a terrifying thing in her husband's body...

"Is there... is there a way to separate Xenovia from their bodies?"
