Location Earth, Russia, Shlisselburg village, shlisselburg fortress
A few months ago I was a world-renowned scientist, inventor and entrepreneur but now I am a world leader. I had to step up since my people needed me to. But now I am one of the culprits responsible for the deaths of 153 million lives.
I did not know how my new colleagues slept but I could not close my eyes for a second as the lost souls haunted my sleep.
The alliance right now was an empty shell most of its members have become neutral some even considered surrendering to Viltronian, it all depended upon today’s mission if it was successful all is well and good but if we lost then I can not imagine the future of humankind.
After our ambush at Navi Mumbai, we know Viltronian was not invisible he too bleeds like the average human. That bastard was injured we did not know the degree of injury to him but it was enough to send him into hiding. I don’t know if we can call this hiding, after all, we did find him in minutes seizing the shlisselburg fortress.
This time we had to draw him out so that the snipers with new modified alloy bullets could take him down, to make sure he doesn’t run away as he did in Navi Mumbai the whole village was surrounded with anti-tank and assault missiles filled with modified alloy shrapnel.
The hostile was engaged, the first modified alloy bullet lodged into his left eye but it did not take him down, then he was bombarded with the modified missiles which only managed to cut his skin but did not do any substantial damage to him. He then displayed an enhanced healing factor for the first time.
Superhuman strength, senses, flight, speed, and now superhuman recovery he is a total monster. The mission was a fail.
After this 2/3rd of world leaders surrendered to Viltronian as their countries could not tolerate any more civil chaos if their situation continued as it is now their countries would go bankrupt, so it was in their best interests to surrender to Viltronian as the other stronger allies would not help them out as they were themselves busy keeping their countries afloat.
After the failed mission in Russia, I went into hiding but Viltronian who had lost his left eye because of me took out his anger by killing all my friends, family and relatives.
It was no longer a fight for humanity for me but a struggle for revenge. Blinded by revenge I took part in the taboo of any scientist, human experimentation.
Since our weapons cannot kill him I decided to create superhumans of my own to kill that bastard.
Using the body fluids and other DNA materials we collected from his body back in the military base I along with other select few scientists invented a superhuman serum.
During this research process, we were able to uncover some shocking truth about Viltronian’s superpowers.
Turns out that Viltronian is 100,450 years old, his superpower is such that it progresses with the host’s age. Meaning that the older a Viltronian gets the stronger he grows.
Due to this property of Viltronian’s powers the superhuman serum we developed was of no use against him, as 2 to 4-month-old superhuman amounted to ants in the eyes of 100,450-year-old Viltronian.
This drawback of superhuman serum did not matter to other world powers, they started to mass-produce the superhuman serum creating a superhuman army to fight against Viltronian and his vassal world leaders.
But this road bump did not stop me, as I thought of creating a biological weapon targeting the Viltronian DNA strand. Which harmed the interests of both the world leaders and Viltronian causing 3/4th of the world power to turn against me.
Now that even my allies were against me and conspired to kill me, I had to rule with an iron fist to hold whatever power I had. I was no longer a world-renowned scientist, inventor and entrepreneur but a warlord, mass murderer, dictator and mad scientist.
By now the whole world had submitted to Viltronian and the mass production of the superhuman serum was in full swing. Viltronian did not oppose superhuman serum production. Instead, he helped enhance it and declared that he would provide superhuman serum to every one of his followers.
Earth had fallen into chaos 200 or so countries now divided into 17,800 small countries ruled by enhanced humans. In this new era, the enhanced humans were kings and the rest of humanity were reduced to mere slaves, while Viltronian was their Supreme Emperor.
It took me months to find a biological agent strong enough to kill Viltronian DNA. During this time world leaders conspired many times to assassinate me and failed.
But by the time I had prepared the biological weapon targeting Viltronian DNA the earth as I know was gone, what remained was the Viltronian empire. For all this, I was to blame.
If I had not created the superhuman serum in the first place it would not be so easy for Viltronian to take over the earth. As I looked back to see what I did to save the earth I could only see heaps and heaps of dead human corpses with no results.
And now I would have to kill millions more to get rid of the Viltronian pests infesting the earth. If I released the biological weapon it would not only kill Viltronian but all the humans containing Viltronian DNA, that is all the people who took superhuman serum would also die, amounting to millions of dead humans.
I tried to comfort myself by saying that they deserved it as they treated their fellow humans worse than slaves but who am I to judge them, I had my hands bloodied with innocent blood too who will judge me and my crimes. In the name of the greater good, I had sinned beyond redemption.
After I released the biological weapon in the air, I watched it kill all the superhumans one by one finally killing Viltronian. After seeing the Viltronian’s corpse with my own eyes and destroying his corpse with a nuclear bomb I felt assured of his death.
I would be naive to think the earth would return to its previous self with the deaths of Viltronian and Superhumans. Since our goal was achieved all the people supporting my cause left to get a piece of their share in the new era. While some of them banded together with the new world leaders to hunt me down and get me to create a new version of superhuman serum.
I evaded their traps and ambush many times until I was finally caught but when I gained consciousness I was in young Wyatt’s room. Knowing that I was given a second chance I decided to live a peaceful life and not repeat the same mistakes I did back on earth.
