Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 53; Evolutionary Baptism, Lizard City

At the same time, everyone in Apple City received this message.

Choose the more powerful lizardmen, who can regenerate limbs and have stronger vitality. Then, according to the mission description, come to the empty street at the designated time to receive the baptism of evolution and join the new human camp.

Those humans who chose to remain rational stayed indoors, waiting for the rain of evolution to end before joining the human camp.

Besides the Black community, hospitals were among the groups that reacted most strongly to this.

Needless to say, the Black community is often seen as chaotic and mindless by many in the United States. Black people have a long history of criminal records, and there are many more undocumented cases.

Therefore, when faced with a choice, most of the new humans did not hesitate to choose to become lizardmen with regenerative abilities.

Among them are those who want to replace humans, become the new rulers of the world, and no longer suffer discrimination.

The hospital also understood that many patients had long been fed up with the pain of chemotherapy while lying in a hospital bed, and many patients with amputated limbs or paralysis saw hope in this.

"Bim, take me to the rooftop." A middle-aged man lying on a hospital bed, pale-faced and with an IV drip attached, said resolutely to the caregiver beside him.

"But... sir..." The caregiver tried to offer some words of advice, but was immediately interrupted.

"Send me to the rooftop, I don't want to die! I want to live! I want to evolve into a new kind of human!" The middle-aged man on the hospital bed spoke slowly and resolutely.

"Once everyone becomes a lizardman, then the current humans will become the old humans!" Lying on the hospital bed is a wealthy man from a company, but even with all his money, he can only wait in despair for death in the face of an incurable disease.

But now, he has new hope.

The same thing was happening in other wards as well.

"Malik, I'm going to receive the evolution bath. What about you?" A man in a wheelchair, only his upper body remaining, asked the man without arms.

"No need, I won't become a monster." The armless man was somewhat tempted, but ultimately shook his head firmly.

"I don't want my daughter to see her father become a giant lizard."

"Malik, wake up! We risked our lives for this country, but what did we get in return? Our wives are having affairs, and our daughters don't even recognize you as their father."

"Come, let's embrace evolution together. Even becoming lizardmen is better than our current useless bodies."

"As long as we are determined, we should always try, regardless of whether it is true or false."

Hearing his companion's persuasion, the armless man was also somewhat tempted. Thinking of his wife living with his brother and even his daughter looking at him like a stranger, his expression gradually became firm.

"good!"

…………

This evolution may be a disaster for the entire city, but for some terminally ill patients with no other options, it is a ray of hope.

Students who suffer from oppression and bullying are no exception, as are corporate slaves.

Many people want to bathe and evolve to join the lizardmen's camp. Some are driven by their own personality and skin color, some by redemption, and some by revenge.

Of course, some people might be simply bored or members of certain religious groups.

…………

Players received the same faction selection quest, but almost all of them chose the human faction, mostly because they were afraid that if they became lizardmen and lost their minds, they wouldn't be able to play the game anymore.

…………

……

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire city of Apple in a golden light, and the fiery clouds gradually merged into one in the sky.

Bathed in the golden afterglow of the setting sun, Merlin sat on the edge of the rooftop, a bottle of cola in hand, his legs dangling casually in the air.

On the rooftops of buildings, groups of people emerged one after another, gazing at the sky as if waiting for something.

The same was true on the streets and squares, where groups of Black people and those in hospital gowns walked into open spaces and waited quietly.

Conversely, many people nervously fled back to their homes or hotels to hide.

The previously noisy players all found shelter from the rain and waited quietly.

The chaotic and disorderly Apple City suddenly fell silent at this moment. Apart from the battlefield of the Transformers, the streets were quiet.

"Night is coming..." Merlin took a sip of cola, watching the Cybertronians locked in combat and the pedestrians waiting quietly on the street. Under the fiery red glow, a look of pleasure appeared on his innocent and harmless face.

…………

……

"Bang!"

As the last rays of golden sunlight shone on Apple City, like the closing of the gates of heaven, a firework suddenly shot up from the torch of the Statue of Liberty, piercing the sky.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Next came Osborne Industrial Park in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens…

Clusters of brilliant green fireworks exploded one after another in the sky above the city, casting a ghastly green hue over the dark night.

"Drip, drip..."

"Is it raining?" On the street, a pale-faced woman in a hospital gown looked at the green IV drip in her palm and murmured softly.

Under the city's neon lights, green raindrops fell like tiny swords, gradually forming a green rain curtain. The rain curtain grew larger and more rapid, enveloping the entire city.

The people who had been waiting on the streets were also shrouded in mist.

"God! Save me!"

"A new kind of human! I want to become a new kind of human! I'll send those idiots to hell!"

"Redemption..."

…………

On the street, whether they were Black people, patients, or bored individuals, they all looked up like fervent believers, enjoying the baptism of the green rain curtain.

They felt the power of baptism.

In the dense rain, the disabled patients suddenly collapsed to the ground, struggling in pain. They felt an unbearable itch in their injured areas, as if something was about to grow out.

"Ugh... Ahhh!!!" A disabled person who had lost both legs suddenly stood up, green keratin began to appear on his face, and his pupils changed from human to cold vertical pupils.

His body gradually swelled, and sharp claws began to grow from his feet, eventually transforming him into a lizardman.

"It worked! It really worked! My legs have grown back!" He didn't care about the changes in his appearance; he was just excitedly looking at his newly grown legs.

He was captivated by this feeling of being grounded.

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

…………

A series of tearing sounds rang out. Under the green rain curtain, tall lizardmen tore their clothes off and rose from the ground on the street. Their cold, vertical pupils looked up at the sky, and the savageness that erupted within them made them open their mouths and roar.

"Roar roar roar!!!"
