Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

This anomaly naturally attracted the attention of Shinra's higher-ups, but no one knew exactly why it had turned out this way.

"Hahaha, I won." While Shen Ye and Jesse were distracted by the strange phenomenon above, Luo Xie rushed into the entrance of the No. 5 Mako Reactor first, and only then did he notice the strange phenomenon that had occurred above Midgard.

"What...what's going on?" Luo Xie stared at the huge vortex in the dark clouds, speechless with astonishment. This was the first time he had ever seen anything like this.

Shen Ye ignored him and, after getting out of the car with Jesse, walked into the Mako Reactor. Their every move was naturally broadcast live by the surveillance cameras.

However, they weren't the only ones being broadcast live, because the moment Shen Ye and Jesse entered the Mako Reactor, countless Black Firas flew out of the vortex in the dark clouds and surged wildly into the interior of Mako Reactor No. 5.

Moreover, because the live broadcast was seen by all the residents of Midgar, these residents also saw a scene that should not have appeared in their destiny—Shen Ye and Jesse, who should not have appeared in Mako Reactor No. 5, so they also saw the gray filaments flying all over the sky.

"Oh my god, what kind of monsters are those?"

Whether it was the residents on the disc, the poor people below the disc, or even the Shinra high-ranking officials watching the surveillance, they all felt fear at the appearance of those Black Fila.

At this moment, the Black Fila were already in a panic and frantically attacked Shen Ye and Jesse, because the two of them really had the ability to blow up the No. 5 Mako Reactor.

But with Shen Ye there, they couldn't do anything to the two of them and could only launch wave after wave of attacks in vain, trying to drive them away.

"Shen, what exactly are these monsters?" Jesse held a small-caliber submachine gun and kept shooting at the Gray Fila, but her attacks were completely ineffective. Most of the Gray Fila were dispersed by the psychic waves fired by Shen Ye.

Shen Ye could not possibly tell her that these things were what sustained fate. Although his purpose in coming here was to expose Fila’s existence and trigger a major change in the plot, there were some things that were better known to as few people as possible.

Like Alice and Sephiroth, they also knew some things that were unknown to others. Even Alice, who was determined to change her fate, never told anyone outside the family, including Shen Ye.

However, Shen Ye did not originally belong to this world. Although he would not say it directly, he could use some methods to fight against fate.

After all, he didn't want to lose Alice and the others, so he naturally wouldn't let Fila change their fate.

(My writing skills are too weak; I can't express many things. I'm so sad.)

Chapter 203! Sephiroth Reappears

……

Although the Grey Fila flew everywhere, only Shen Ye and Jesse were truly affected, while Barrett and the others, who had already entered the No. 5 Mako Reactor, were unaffected.

However, they were already preparing to retreat because Heidegger had broadcast them live. However, Heidegger did not broadcast their appearances because Cloud was with them and he had eyes that had obviously changed color from being immersed in the Mako Reactor. For the sake of Shinra's reputation, Heidegger ordered his men to only broadcast their blurry figures.

During their retreat, they also saw Shen Ye and Jesse being attacked by Grey Fila in the live stream footage that Heidegger deliberately showed them.

Although they didn't understand what these monsters were, Shen Ye and Jesse were their companions, so they decided to go and help them.

……

"I really want to know just how far you can change fate!"

While Shen Ye and Jesse were fighting against Grey Fila, at the very top of Mako Reactor No. 5, Sephiroth stood against the wind and let out a sigh.

As he spoke, some of the wandering Grey Fila suddenly spun rapidly around him, seemingly protesting what he had just said.

"I know, I know, you stubborn bunch, I was just joking." Sephiroth waved his hand to disperse the surrounding Grey Fera, then clenched his fist in the air, and the katana Masamune appeared in his hand.

Then he continued, "I will kick them out, so please be patient."

After saying this, Sephiroth looked down at Shen Ye and found that Barrett and his group had already joined up with Shen Ye and his group.

"How lively!" Sephiroth sneered, then took a step forward and plummeted like a cannonball.

At this moment, Barrett and the others were helping Shen Ye and Jesse attack the Gray Fila.

"Shen, what exactly are these monsters?" Tifa unleashed a series of punches, scattering the Grey Fila that was getting close to Shen Ye, and rushed in front of him, asking loudly.

“Just some…stubborn monsters,” Shen Ye said after thinking for a moment.

"What do you mean?" Tifa didn't understand and was about to ask again when she suddenly heard a sharp shriek from above.

Looking up with their companions, they saw a figure plummeting rapidly from the sky.

With a deafening roar, the figure landed in front of them. The powerful impact not only kicked up a cloud of dust but also created a crater several meters wide in the ground.

Unlike the others, Claude became momentarily disoriented upon seeing that figure.

After the dust settled, everyone present, except Shen Ye, and the Shinra executives who had been watching them via surveillance cameras, fell silent.

“S... Sephiroth.”

After a long while, looking at the tall man before them, Avalanche and the others swallowed hard. Even if they had no goodwill towards Shinra, they had heard of Sephiroth's reputation, and some of them had even admired him when they were young...

……

Inside the Shinra Building, even the Shinra president lost all composure. He suddenly stood up and stared intently at the tall figure in the screen.

"This guy, wasn't he supposed to be dead? How did he come back to life?" Heidegger exclaimed beside him.

But no one responded to him.

At this moment, the Shinra president, who had stood up, sat back down. Although the shock on his face had not completely disappeared, he gradually calmed down.

"Notify Hojo and Scarlett, and have them take those newly trained special forces soldiers to Mako Reactor No. 5," the Shinra president calmly issued the order.

Just as he gave the order, Sephiroth in the video looked up at them strangely, which startled everyone watching the monitor.

"This guy... he can see us?" someone said, and instantly, everyone in the room shuddered.

……

"Long time no see! You who wander outside of fate." Sephiroth withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Ye again—as for Cloud behind Shen Ye, he only glanced at him, after all, Cloud was no longer as important to him as Shen Ye.

“We just met a few days ago, Sephiroth, you can’t be that forgetful, can you?” Shen Ye felt uncomfortable under Sephiroth’s gaze and drew his lightsaber as he spoke.

The conversation between the two surprised Tifa and the others, as well as the Shinra executives watching the surveillance footage. These two actually knew each other all along?

"Ah! I'm sorry, I have too many memories, so sometimes things get confusing." Sephiroth raised his right hand and touched his forehead, saying apologetically.

"You should know that I've been traveling a lot because of you."

"Are you still doing things you don't actually want to do? Sephiroth, I know deep down you also hope to change," Shen Ye said.

What is Sephiroth running around for? Of course, it's to correct some altered plot points. For example, after hearing what Sephiroth just said, Shen Ye thought of Amina who was accidentally injured and Alice who had to go home to take care of Amina.

"Heh!" Sephiroth didn't directly address Shen Ye's words, but instead chuckled softly, seemingly pessimistic, and said, "If things could really change, why would I still be here? I've already tried."

"Why not give it another try?" Shen Ye continued to ask.

“Because it’s unnecessary.” Sephiroth shook his head. “I’m completely different from that little girl. She always had some unrealistic hopes for the future, but… her fate will still remain the same.”

"I'm sorry, Sephiroth, but with me here, she will live on." Shen Ye raised his lightsaber, pointing it at Thadros: "Not only her, but also..."

At this point, Shen Ye glanced back at Jesse and added in his mind, "And you, Jesse, you will live on too."

“Then you can give it a try.” Sephiroth said in a way that sounded both threatening and encouraging, then glanced at Jesse.

Jesse was somewhat puzzled by their gazes, but she could sense the concern in Shen Ye's eyes, while Sephiroth's gaze was lifeless, as if he were looking at a dead man.

……

Chapter 204! An Irreversible Fact

……

In fact, the conversation between the two left the onlookers somewhat bewildered. No one understood what they meant by "tried" and "try again." But one thing they were certain of was that Shen Ye and Sephiroth definitely knew some secrets that they did not.

Although everyone was curious, no one could get a word in edgewise, especially the Shinra executives—mainly because they were too far away.

Moreover, their thirst for knowledge is no less than that of ordinary people, and may even be higher. Because of Sephiroth's appearance, some of them have become more interested in Jenova cells. Not to mention that Sephiroth seems to have been resurrected, the fact that his appearance has not changed at all over the years is enough to attract the attention of some people.

Therefore, after the Shinra president ordered people to go there, he also ordered Heidegger to have the various mechanical weapons deployed in Mako Reactor No. 5 surround them.

Unlike the Shinra special forces who needed time to get there, those mechanical weapons appeared near Shen Ye and the others shortly after the order was given. Upon seeing them, Avalanche and Claude became alert.

The only ones who were still relaxed were Shen Ye and Sephiroth.

Sephiroth, needless to say, even though he was still fighting with clones, with Greyfila's cooperation, these machines were no different from a pile of scrap metal to him. Moreover, he himself was not weak, so when a flying mechanical weapon approached him, he simply swung his katana Masamune, and a shocking sword aura broke through the air, directly cutting the mechanical weapon in two.

Seeing Sephiroth make a move, Shen Ye felt even more relaxed, because he knew very well that as long as Sephiroth wanted to maintain the status quo, they would be fine.

What's more...

Shen Ye looked at the massive, dark mass of mechanical weapons that were closing in, and their target was Sephiroth.

This is another reason why Shen Ye felt relaxed. Compared to Sephiroth, the others were just a bunch of petty "rats" in Shinra's eyes. Even the destroyed Mako Reactor No. 1 was completed under Shinra's full monitoring. If Sephiroth hadn't appeared, Shinra wouldn't have minded playing with them again. But now, they didn't even have the value to influence public opinion.

Watching Sephiroth gradually being surrounded by mechanical weapons, Shen Ye took a step back and whispered to the people behind him, "Once they start fighting, we'll leave here as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The people behind him nodded in unison. In this situation, leaving this place was the only option.

Just as they finished their exchange, the mechanical weapons received the attack order and swarmed towards Sephiroth.

Sephiroth merely sneered, drawing a cross in the air with his longsword. Then, a massive cross-shaped sword aura shot out, cutting through mechanical weapons like paper or causing them to explode.

Seeing this, the Avalanche members and Cloud's expressions were not good. They had basically grown up listening to the legend of Sephiroth, and now they were even more shocked. Without Shen Ye reminding them, they all turned around and ran away.

"Hmph, trying to run away?" Seeing Shen Ye and his group fleeing, Sephiroth unleashed several more sword strikes, instantly clearing away the surrounding mechanical weapons. Then, he leaped into the air and gave chase.

He was incredibly fast, appearing behind Shen Ye and the others in a few flashes.

"It's best for fate to remain the same," Sephiroth muttered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes, before he swung his sword at Cloud in the crowd.
