Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 742: Facing Wesker

In the Acklay layer, in a guest room of the Acklay Mansion, Leon, Chris, and Claire are making final preparations for the battle.

They all knew that this area had temporarily become their own territory, so they could rest assured.

Before this, Li You destroyed Wesker's clone, and after digging out the mycelium that maintained the Acklay layer with Claire, he immediately handed it over to Edge.

Because the mycelium was dug out, Aggie's power was able to penetrate into this world more easily. With the help of two lords with high authority, she gained control of the Acklay layer in almost no time.

The principle is very simple. She only needs to use the breath of the two lords to deceive the fungus master and make it mistakenly believe that it is Donna and Heisenberg's consciousness that is controlling the fungus sclerotium at this time. This can deceive most of its instinctive defense mechanisms and make it illusion that this layer is still under its control.

After all, the main consciousness of the fungus master is not perfect, and it relies more on instinct to maintain this world of consciousness. After careful study, Aggie and Yuzu have realized this and have a variety of means to deal with the instinctive rules of the fungus master.

With this area as a base, Aiji can in turn exert greater influence on the main body of the fungus, and the help he can provide to Li You and others will naturally increase as well.

This is the best way to deal with Wesker, a person with high authority, and prevent him from cheating again.

Of course, Edge was able to mislead the Master with his own actions, but Wesker, who had higher authority, was no fool. From previous encounters, he should have been able to quickly detect Edge's actions and then try to counterattack.

So in fact, we can make this analogy: the Fungus Master is the server host, Wesker is the programmer responsible for maintenance, and Edge is the invading hacker.

Although Edge is very resourceful, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage if he is discovered by the programmer.

So what to do now?

It's simple, just let someone else kill the programmer.

As the old saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem. Besides, Wesker was the real target of Li You and his group, so the problem finally returned to the starting point - everything will be determined by the outcome of this final battle.

In the guest room, Leon sat on a high-back chair, holding his Matilda. He flipped it lightly with one hand, checked the magazine in a handsome manner, and then put the gun away.

Ye Ge floated quietly beside him, and rarely did she stop talking.

On the other side, Claire was wiping the Anri sword with a calm expression.

In addition to their main weapons, both of them had various firepower equipment at hand, from portable machine guns to rocket launchers to portable electromagnetic cannons. But they also knew that these heavy firepower would not play a big role when facing Wesker, which Leon had verified before.

Wesker, who possesses extremely high authority, can exert extraordinary strength in this world. To deal with him, one needs to use power that also transcends the limitations of the real world.

Apart from Leon and Claire, Chris was not organizing his equipment. He was holding an arm shield and carrying a rifle that had already been debugged, standing by the window of the guest room, staring at the endless dark forest outside the window.

"...Acklay Mansion, I never thought that I would return to this place one day."

Hearing his sigh, Leon and Claire turned their heads.

"So, this should be where all the biochemical events started, right?" Leon asked, "I remember you were also the first expert in this area."

Chris nodded first, but then shook his head: "This is indeed the beginning of all the events, but strictly speaking, it was not me who first came into contact with them, but Rebecca. But it was indeed Wesker who pushed them behind the scenes at that time."

"...In any case, if we can completely eliminate him this time, it will be considered as removing a major source of trouble for the world. The civilians and soldiers who have been involved in biological and chemical terrorist attacks because of him over the years can also rest in peace."

Leon and Claire both nodded solemnly: “This time, for sure!”

Just at this moment, Edge appeared in front of the three people again.

"Friends, although Claire should have already mentioned it, I will still mention it again." Edge conveyed to the three people, cutting out the nonsense and getting straight to the point. "Now our progress in cracking the master's sea of ​​consciousness has reached a certain level, and now it can support you to use your energy in this world - you should be able to feel it."

The three of them nodded. Since being brought to this area, they have regained the flow of Qi in their bodies, and the Qi they have cultivated for many years is now back under control.

This also gave them more confidence, at least in the next battle they could do more than just stand at a distance and shoot.

"Although you can freely use your Qi, the number of times you can use your magic power is limited, because I have to leave more 'quotas' for Li You, so each of you only has one chance to use the magic power inside your weapon to explode. If you use it a second time, you will be ejected from the Master's sea of ​​consciousness. You must pay attention to this."

The three of Lyon took note of her words carefully.

"Okay, that's all I want to remind you of." Aiji nodded. "Li You is now trying to harmonize with the aura of the sclerotium so that the fungus master can accept his existence and adapt to his magical aura as much as possible. The longer he spends harmonizing, the more power he will be able to use later."

"But Wesker may find this place at any time, so everyone must be prepared for battle in case of a surprise attack."

Li You had not shown up before, and he was busy with this matter. Obtaining the recognition of the main consciousness in the sea of ​​​​consciousness of the fungus master was obviously the most important thing. Including the two lords, after helping Edge complete the task of rescuing people from Wesker, they have been assisting Li You in reconciliation.

Judging from their condition, it is impossible to expect these two lords to contribute in the battle, but at least they can still play a final role.

After reminding Leon and the other two, Edge came to Li You. He was sitting cross-legged in front of the dug-out mycelium with his back to the entrance of the room. The two lords, Donna and Heisenberg, were sitting diagonally opposite him, forming a triangle.

When Edge's figure appeared behind him, Li You noticed her arrival without even turning his head, and asked, "How long will it take for Wesker to break through this layer?"

"Soon. If we're lucky, he'll be here in the next moment." Aiji replied, "This guy has more authority in the Fungus Master than I thought. He can almost be regarded as the Fungus Master's clone. Most of the resources in this consciousness world can be mobilized by him at will."

"So your battle with him won't be easy."

Li You remained calm: "Didn't we foresee this before we entered this world of consciousness? It's just the worst-case scenario. We just need to proceed according to the plan we prepared before. Even if the situation is really bad, I still have a trump card to use."

"I'm just reminding you. I know the plan very well." Edge said, "I know you have many ideas. Just be careful not to overturn it."

The conversation between the two ended here. Li You did not ask Lyon how prepared they were. At times like this, he always chose to trust his comrades.

Li You continued to reconcile, and just as Edge was about to disperse his body to complete his "hacking" work, his face suddenly changed: "This breath... Li You! He's coming!" The next moment.

"Boom——!!"

A loud thunder-like sound came from the sky, and the skylight of the entire area disappeared in an instant, and a strong wind swept in. The perceptible darkness enveloped everything in sight!
The roof of the mansion was instantly blown off and destroyed, exposing everyone inside to the storm!
The four people on Li You's side and the three people on Lyon's side all looked up at the sky at the same time.

I saw that the sky in this area had completely changed. Originally, it was the same dark night above my head, but there were a few stars and the moonlight could be vaguely seen, but now, the entire sky seemed to be wiped out and turned into nothingness!

In the middle of the sky that turned into nothingness, Wesker's figure was suspended in the air, looking down at the people below.

"That's Wesker!? How is this possible..." Leon and Chris, who had briefly fought with Wesker before, couldn't help but widen their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

There is no doubt that the pressure from Wesker's appearance has reached the limit. If this happened in the real world, Li You would have to choose to avoid him.

But this is the sea of ​​consciousness of the Fungus Master, still in the shallow layer. Wesker tore the sky of the layer and appeared. Although it looked shocking, what was actually displayed was not the overwhelming level of power, but the extremely high authority of the Fungus Master.

In the final analysis, the shallow layers are like consumables to the fungus master. As long as the core layer is not touched, it is not difficult to destroy or erase part of these layers. For example, Li You, who has reconciled with the fungus master, can also do it, purely by his own strength.

Although most of the power in this world is restricted, Li You has seen the true divine power and his vision has long surpassed the upper limit of this world, so he saw through the essence of Wesker's behavior at a glance. In fact, it is still a deterrent and a strategy to attack his mind.

So at this moment he took the lead, and the magic power that had been dormant in his body for a long time flowed, transformed into two pairs of dragon wings that spread out behind him and flew into the sky!
Li You rushed to the same height as Wesker in one breath, looked at him straight in the eye, and said, "Why are you still using such a trick? Are you dead?"

Wesker also looked at him, with a smile on his face: "It's just to confirm what you can do in this world. You didn't let me down."

The next moment, his tone suddenly rose: "Come on, the battle to decide who can become God is about to begin now--!!"

As Wesker spoke, he raised his hands, and the original power belonging to the fungus master was mobilized freely, like some special magic that he could direct at will.

This power spread under his will, sweeping towards everything that existed in this realm!
Obviously, he wanted to cover this area with his own power and regain control of this small world, so as to block the support of Li You and others.

Li You's eyes moved, and he immediately realized the direction of this power. Then his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand, and his own magic power rushed out!

He was not going to launch an attack, he was just releasing pure magic power to counter Wesker's power. This completely unreasonable behavior made Wesker puzzled.

But he soon understood what Li You was planning.

Because while Li You's magic power and his fungus master power were colliding and entangled with each other, Donna and Heisenberg had appeared in the air behind Li You without knowing when, and began to interfere with Wesker's fungus master power with their own power. More importantly, the familiar blue halo has reappeared, this time covering Wesker's head!

"So that's why you were waiting for me to do this?" Wesker immediately understood the reason. He realized that Edge had deceived the master's consciousness and quietly seized control of this layer, so he planned to take it back, but Li You and Edge had already anticipated that he would do this, so they prepared countermeasures in advance.

The blue halo that appeared at this moment was coming towards his original body. The familiar form of power made Wesker immediately understand that this was what was mentioned in the first clone record.

"...I have an idea, but this is the third time you've used this trick, right?" Wesker sneered, "Do you think I won't take precautions against this?"

Did you predict my prediction? No, I predicted your prediction of mine!
Wesker immediately waved his hand and dissipated almost all of the power of the fungus master, even the part that was originally entangled with Li You's magic power was completely dissipated, and then even his own figure disappeared.

When he appeared again, he had already moved some distance closer to the nothingness in the sky, and the power belonging to the Fungus Lord spread out above the sky of this layer, and then turned into light spots that fell like rain.

If you only look at this scene, the scene seems very beautiful, but after the rain of light fell, Leon and others below suddenly discovered that the surrounding environment was gradually changing from the Arklay Mountains back to the snowfield outside the village!

When the environment was completely transformed, Wesker, who was higher up, looked down at Li You and said in a victorious tone: "You should know that this time I used the power of the Fungus Master. In its world, this power can be transferred at will, and even you can't stop it."

"Now, the Acre layer has disappeared, and this place will return to the core layer, which is my territory. Here, you want to restrict me by the same old tricks, but it is impossible!

"In our confrontation, at the level of the sea of ​​consciousness, I am the winner!"

"——I know what you said."

However, in response to Wesker's declaration of victory, Li You smiled and spoke calmly.

"Hmm..." Wesker was also stunned, and then he heard Li You continue:
"You probably underestimate my knowledge, or you are too confident and think that others' understanding of the Master's sea of ​​consciousness is definitely not as good as yours."

"But unfortunately, although the power of the Fungus Master is strange, in my eyes, it doesn't seem to have many secrets. I have also come across more bizarre and difficult to understand forms of power."

Wesker had already sensed something was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was. But the next moment, he suddenly looked up at the blue halo that had appeared above his head again without him noticing: "No, that thing is..."

Li You smiled: "That's right, it didn't intend to imprison your consciousness from the beginning, but to limit your connection with the fungus master and prevent you from continuing to gain power from the fungus master."

Wesker's face finally changed, but it was too late. He could feel that his connection with the Fungus Master was indeed greatly restricted. Although it was not cut off, even in the core layer, he could not get much help from the Fungus Master.

"This is our plan. Unfortunately, I am the winner this time." Li You looked at him, "So, what are you going to do?"

Wesker had a gloomy face, but he didn't say much. In the battle at the level of the Master's Sea of ​​Consciousness, Li You's side was indeed the better side in the end, but the power that Wesker already possessed did not disappear. He just couldn't possess the power that seemed to destroy the world like when he first appeared. This small defeat did not mean that he lost.

So the next moment, he slowly lowered his body, no longer floating in the sky, and fell back to the ground. Li You also fell with him. The magic power that could be used in the Master's Sea of ​​Consciousness was limited, so he saved as much as possible.

And when Wesker fell down, except for Li You who was confronting in front of him, Leon, Chris and Claire had approached from three other directions and surrounded him in the middle.

Li You held the Primal Gun and looked at Wesker with a smile:

"Okay, now we can have the 'final battle' you wanted."
