After temporarily settling Rosales, Emrys found Hilda.
Then, he went through a great deal of effort and paid a heavy 'price' to persuade this Eldar Autarch to rush to the Fringe Hive overnight.
From the Eldar Webway of the Samhann Ark, he retrieved a full fifty sets of 'implant organs' and MK10 Aquila Power Armor.
Throwing everything into his personal space, Emrys had Elsa guard the door, forbidding anyone from entering.
Next, he was going to perform a Void Spawning!
His biggest advantage was the time flow difference between the two Worlds!
To implant Gene-Seed into humans and create Space Marines in the shortest possible time, he could only rely on the 'time difference' between the two sides!
Now that the crucial Gene-Seed was in hand, the next question was: which world should he go to?
"The human physique in the alien world is too poor; even the selection phase would take a long time." Emrys sighed, shifting his focus to the remaining two Worlds. He personally preferred the Marvel universe.
Although the human physical conditions in the Marvel universe were poor, he could always cooperate with HYDRA.
This way, he could obtain a large number of excellent humans in the shortest time, avoiding the high failure rate of Gene-Seed implantation.
"Traveler System, go to the Marvel Cinematic universe - 99999 world." Emrys acted immediately. Although the situation in Siluria was temporarily stable, he was still uneasy and had to create Space Marines as soon as possible.
[Dear Traveler, currently unable to proceed to: world 'Marvel Cinematic universe - 99999']
However, the system's prompt stunned Emrys: "Why not?"
[The fate trajectory of this world is currently undergoing massive changes. Insufficient authorization level, unable to cross.]
"Authorization level again?" Emrys pinched his brows. His original plan instantly vanished, leaving only one option.
"Fortunately, I prepared in advance." The impact of the plan change was not significant for him. When he first envisioned creating Space Marines, Emrys had specifically prepared two plans, one of which was in the Resident Evil world.
Among Umbrella Corporation's many research projects, a department was specifically established.
This department would select intellectually superior and genetically excellent children worldwide, provide them with the best education, and then infect them with a virus upon adulthood. Wesker was a product of this plan and was responsible for the project.
These individuals' genes had undergone several iterations, almost perfectly meeting the Space Marine selection qualifications!
The only flaw was probably their adaptability to the 'Gene-Seed.' After all, they were humans from the 3K era; no matter how optimized their genes were, they couldn't be as resilient as 40K humans. But fortunately, Emrys had prepared a compensatory method.
"Traveler, go to the Resident Evil world."
As he spoke, Emrys' figure suddenly vanished from the bedroom.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in Resident Evil, and before him was a brand new Raccoon City.
After the biological virus outbreak more than a year ago, Raccoon City, with the full funding of the Umbrella Corporation, had regained its former prosperity.
The streets were filled with Umbrella's GG brand advertisements, and the tallest building in the city center displayed a prominent Umbrella logo, indicating its transformation from a biological research company into a giant pharmaceutical enterprise.
Looking at the peaceful and serene Raccoon City, Emrys sighed: "Unfortunately, I'm not here for a vacation this time."
He released Uther and the Servo-Skull from his personal space, hacked into Umbrella's system, and directly notified someone to pick him up.
Before long, a stretched limousine arrived. Wesker, in a suit and sunglasses, walked over coolly: "Welcome back, Mr. Emrys."
"No need to be so polite; I'm short on time this time."
Emrys didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "How are the matters I entrusted to you progressing?"
"According to your requirements, the current number of qualified individuals is around three thousand seven hundred."
Wesker immediately reported the number, then added: "Please rest assured, besides those originally part of the Wesker Project, all remaining individuals are teenagers specially selected from prisons worldwide based on the severity of their crimes."
"Very good, take me there."
Emrys nodded slightly, then got into the back seat.
Wesker scurried over, pulled the original driver out, and sat in the driver's seat: "Mr. Emrys, should I inform Supervisor Wong of your arrival?"
"No need."
Emrys shook his head; he didn't have time to visit anyone this trip.
"Understood."
Wesker said no more, started the car, and drove straight to the Umbrella Corporation.
The car drove into the garage, then was transported by elevator deep underground. What was once Umbrella's Hive laboratory had now become Wesker's dedicated place for cultivating test subjects. All three thousand seven hundred qualified recipients were there!
These individuals underwent military training day after day, transforming into the most powerful warriors.
But even so, Emrys still had to select the most excellent recipients among them. Only then could they withstand the nineteen Space Marine modification surgeries and create even more superior Space Marines!
He would specifically inject ten of them with Super Soldier Serum in advance to raise the lower limit of the modifications. "Take me to the lab, then bring in the test subjects."
Emrys gave a few instructions, then came to the transparent wall, looking at the pure white sterilized laboratory inside, and nodded to Uther: "You can start."
Under the shadowless lamp, the anesthetized test subject was brought into the room. Uther changed into a sterile suit.
He coldly watched the person lying on the cold operating table, deep in a coma, and used a scalpel to cut open the test subject's chest cavity.
Then, he implanted the Gene-Seed, the foundation of all modifications, into the chest cavity.
The bloody Gene-Seed quickly merged with the flesh, but the test subject seemed to have a strong rejection reaction, instantly bleeding from all seven orifices and dying on the spot!
"Continue, next."
Looking at the failed test subject, Emrys remained expressionless throughout, saying coldly and indifferently: "Remove the 'Gene-Gland' and implant it into the next person."
Uther was an indispensable part of the Space Marine creation plan.
The reason was simple: even with the 'Gene-Seed,' the subsequent implant organ surgeries were still a major difficulty.
Normally, the Apothecaries of a Space Marine Chapter would specifically perform Gene-Gland implantation and the subsequent eighteen modification surgeries, including various organ implants, for selected recruits.
But he had no Apothecary, so he could only input all of Carol's data into Uther's system.
And then, the android Uther would perform the nineteen modification surgeries!
Space Marine modification surgeries inherently carried great risks; this would make the already extremely high failure rate even more terrifying!
But Emrys had no choice; he had to independently create Space Marines, free from the influence of the Warhammer Universe!
Soon, the dead test subject was pushed out, and a new one was brought in.
What is a Space Marine?
Only by overcoming hardships can one become the demigod who conquers the galaxy's inferno, battling Chaos and xenos in bloody combat!
For a mortal to become a Space Marine, he must undergo nineteen modification surgeries!
From Gene-Seed implantation to the second heart, ossmodula, biscopea, hemoastat, Larraman's Organ, neuroglottis, preomnor, omophagea, multi-lung, occulobe, Lyman's Ear, sus-an membrane, melanochrome, Oolitic Kidney, Betcher's Gland, progenoids, and the black Carapace!
After a full nineteen surgeries, a mortal can transform into a true 'demigod!'
Two hearts, three lungs, muscle strength capable of tearing steel, speed surpassing a car, reaction speed almost able to see bullets, saliva more corrosive than an alien's, able to swallow ceramic minerals whole, adapted to most harsh environments—this is the Emperor's genetic creation, the Space Marine!
However, the nineteen Space Marine surgeries are not implanted simultaneously.
Instead, they need to be performed in a specific order, waiting for the previous implant organ to show no rejection reaction with the human body before implanting the next organ.
Furthermore, the modification process is extremely long, often measured in years.
But fortunately, after the Traveler System's authority was upgraded, in addition to the , he gained an even more important ability.
That was the ability to adjust the time flow between the two Worlds, from the initial 1:10 to a maximum of 1:50.
One day in the Warhammer Universe was fifty days in Resident Evil.
If he disregarded costs and losses, he could create Space Marines in a year at the slowest!
After watching for a while, Emrys left the laboratory.
"Mr. Emrys." Wesker was waiting outside; he was not allowed to enter.
All he knew was that an experiment was underway inside, one that might overturn the current world, but he believed that as long as he remained loyal enough, his turn would come one day.
Of course, if Wesker had seen the experimental process, whether he would still think that way was unknown.
"Do not allow anyone to enter this laboratory." Emrys looked at Wesker and issued the command in a strict tone.
"Yes, Mr. Emrys." Wesker heard a hint of warning in his tone and immediately reined in his superfluous thoughts.
Emrys didn't place all his hopes on him either.
Before leaving, he had left the Servo-Skull, Uther, Heavy Combat Servitors, and Tyrant alien all in the laboratory.
If anyone tried to intrude, they would be instantly melted.
Even Umbrella's artificial intelligence couldn't bypass the Servo-Skull to peek into the laboratory's situation.
This way, everything would be foolproof.
After leaving the Umbrella Corporation, Emrys found a quiet, uninhabited place, looked at the towering skyscraper, and whispered: "Traveler, coming home."
Next, all he needed to do was wait, patiently wait.
When he returned again, he would witness the birth of his Space Marines, the Retribution Chapter!
