Chapter 172 Ancient Species, Alice

The last ancient species, Alice.

"Big brother, would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers?"

Alice tilted her head and asked in a clear, crisp voice.

Her big eyes blinked, carrying a kind of spiritual quality.

Ancient species possess powerful genes.

However, they were no match for Genova, otherwise they wouldn't have been wiped out.

"Your flowers are beautiful, but big brother doesn't want to buy them."

Sephiroth smiled and replied.

"Oh, okay then, sorry to bother you."

Alice nodded dejectedly, then turned and picked up the flower basket to leave.

"Wait~~"

Sephiroth called out to her.

"Is there anything else, big brother?"

Alice turned around curiously and asked.

He asked softly, "I really like flowers, but I don't want to buy any. Could you give me a bouquet?"

"what?"

Alice stared wide-eyed, stunned.

You don't want to sell, but can I give you a bouquet of flowers instead?

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Big brother, do you like flowers too? Then I'll give you a bouquet."

"Give it to you!"

As she spoke, she handed a bouquet of flowers to Sephiroth.

Looking at Alice's rosy cheeks, Sephiroth smiled slightly and accepted the bouquet of flowers.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for the flowers. They are beautiful, just like you, beautiful inside and out."

"I'm very happy. In return, I'll give you a gift too."

After saying that, he magically produced a jade hairpin and gently inserted it into her hair.

He then ruffled Alice's hair and walked away without looking back.

Alice was left standing alone on the street, staring blankly at his departing figure.

This older brother's hands are so warm.

No, what am I thinking?

Alice blushed, touched the top of her head, and took off a jade hairpin.

It's so beautiful at first glance.

Then it dawned on me why he gave me such a beautiful gift.

"Hey, big brother, I can't take your things."

Alice hurriedly chased after her.

Unfortunately, Sephiroth was long gone.

"Oh dear, how could I accept a gift from someone else?"

Alice covered her face and stomped her feet, sobbing softly.

"Oh right, he looks so familiar—"

She suddenly remembered that the older brother looked familiar.

"Yes, he is Lord Sephiroth, the hero warrior of Shinra?"

Alice finally remembered who it was.

She looked at the beautiful jade hairpin in her hand, her face flushed, almost dripping with sweat.

"Lord Sephiroth gave me a gift?"

She kept talking to herself.

Still somewhat dazed, she instinctively walked step by step toward her home in the slum, carrying the flower basket.

... ...

Meanwhile, Zack and Cloud, who had escaped, were being hunted down by Shinra soldiers.

A group of Shinra soldiers began to hunt down the two.

On the edge of a cliff.

Zack met up with his old friend Sisney.

"Is the sample that's running away you?"

Sisney looked at Zack in disbelief.

"Are you also trying to hunt me down?"

Zack asked with a wry smile.

Sisni didn't say anything, but instead took out a phone and made a call.

“Hey, you—” Zack tensed up.

But Sisni called to report: "The target has escaped."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

"You go."

After Sisni finished speaking, she handed the Shinra Baka Cart to Zack.

Zack held the key and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Thanks--"

Zack finished speaking and turned to leave.

He drove his motorcycle, carrying the unconscious Claude, towards the direction of Mead's house.

However, they were attacked while crossing a bridge.

Genesis stopped Zack.

"Oh, I heard you've been thrown into Hojo's S experiment project?"

He looked at Zack with a smile.

"Enjoy it."

Genesis leaped into the sky and flew away.

Another subordinate flew away as well, and yet another subordinate's body underwent a mutation.

Because of the decay of cells in his body, he quickly turned into a monster.

"hateful!"

Enraged, Zack charged forward with his sword and engaged in combat.

After a fierce battle, they successfully killed the monster.

Soon after, Zack took Cloud back to his hometown of Gongaga.

And all of this was under Sephiroth's surveillance.

"Okay, keep running. You guys fight, I'll destroy the Shinra headquarters."

Sephiroth stood on a cliff, his eyes gleaming.

He doesn't have time to deal with these people right now.

Most of their energy was focused on the constant clashes between the Genova thought entities within the planet's core.

Moreover, they also had to guard against a sneak attack from another will entity.

Left with no other choice, they could only fight while simultaneously absorbing the planet's magical energy.

However, this action thoroughly enraged another lurking force of will.

It joined the battle.

They actually joined forces with Genova to fight against Sephiroth's encroachment and plunder.

"Hey, have you lost your mind?"

Sephiroth's expression changed slightly, and he cursed angrily, intensifying his invasion.

Boom, boom~~

Deep within the earth, bursts of blue-green magical energy erupted.

Two powerful wills joined forces, and Genova actually united with another will to fight against him.

This guy's out of his mind, actually teaming up with Genova.

Have you forgotten what happens when you're devoured by the other party?

"Deserves a beating!"

Sephiroth snorted coldly, his primordial spirit power surging into the earth's core, his powerful will transforming into a phantom image, confronting the two powerful thought entities opposite him.

A creature with wings on its back, resembling an angel, was shrouded in a hazy halo.

The other is the planet's spiritual consciousness, also known as the planetary Gaia consciousness.

The two were originally enemies, but now, due to Sephiroth's intervention, their hostility has been directly broken and they have actually united against him.

It's unclear whether it was because Sephiroth devoured Jenova's body that Jenova's consciousness managed to persuade the planet Gaia to join forces against him.

"Kill outsiders!"

The planet's will coldly conveyed a thought.

And Genova, ruthlessly, charged in.

Boom, boom~~

Streams of blue-green magical energy surrounded them, forming rivers of light.

The three were engaged in a fierce battle, with Sephiroth fighting two against one.

On the other side, both Genova's thought entity and the planet Gaia were extremely resilient, surviving repeated attacks.

Genova has countless viral consciousness combinations, and the planetary will is supported by the spiritual river of the entire planet.

That's why they were able to stop Sephiroth's erosion, plunder, and slaughter.

He was killed once and then resurrected once.

"It's endless."

Sephiroth's will shattered the planet's will, then annihilated the Jenova thought in front of him with a single strike.

He then decisively withdrew.

There's no way around it; if they keep fighting, the two might unite, or even merge into one, which would be bad.

What I need is not for them to unite, but to defeat them one by one.

Without his threat of invasion, those two would definitely continue to fight each other.

"You guys fight, I'm leaving first."

Sephiroth regained consciousness, and a surge of mako energy beneath his feet quickly disappeared.

After regaining consciousness, Sephiroth turned and left.

Since we can't deal with those two guys in a short time, let's destroy Shinra first, or take control of the Shinra Corporation.

"Oh, Genesis went to Banora Village to prepare to bathe in the Stream of Life?"

Sephiroth sneered and his figure flashed as he flew into the sky.

He planned to deal with Genesis and eliminate him; it would be a waste to let him bathe in the Stream of Life.

That's all his energy.

Giving it to this guy is less effective than letting him absorb the virus that strengthens him.

Whoosh~~!

Soon after, Sephiroth flew over the village of Banora.

He vanished into the depths of Banora village in a flash.

Soon you'll see an open entrance.

Genesis has already gone inside.

"You've come, you're so slow—"

"Hmm, Sephiroth, it's you?"

Genesis's expression changed slightly, looking at the unexpected person who had arrived.

"Are you surprised?"

Sephiroth walked over calmly, the Tang sword in his hand gleaming faintly.

Genesis laughed heartily: "Sephiroth, you're too late. Once I've bathed in the Stream of Life and defeated you, I'll be Shinra's greatest warrior."

"Trash is trash."

Sephiroth shook his head and swung his sword with increased speed.
