With a "crack," his palm snapped the front end of the syringe-like tentacle.
Having lost its tip, the tentacle no longer posed any threat. Javier tossed it aside carelessly and continued dealing with the remaining tentacles.
*Puchi...*
*Zizizi...!!!!*
As the corrosive green liquid poured toward him, Javier quickly rolled to dodge. Long corrosive marks were burned into the ground where the liquid landed.
However, not a single drop touched an inch of Javier's skin.
This made the C5 Giant Fly appear extremely furious. Javier's Tyrant Giant was as agile as a loach and difficult to capture.
He was on a completely different level from the surrounding zombies. What the C5 Giant Fly found most unacceptable was that...
While dodging its attacks, Javier's Tyrant Giant actually had the spare capacity to use stone bricks from the ground to attack the Spherical Eggs it had spawned.
Forget these Spherical Eggs evolving into C5 Fly Larvae; even the White Maggot-like larval forms that had just wriggled out...
Hadn't even lived for a minute...
Before being quickly smashed to death by Javier with stone bricks.
The hard stones pierced straight through their bodies, and white liquid flowed all over the ground.
This infuriated the C5 Giant Fly mother. Watching its offspring fall one by one while being powerless to stop it, it could only roar continuously to vent its rage.
As for how Javier killed these larval White Maggots so easily, despite their hard shells being able to withstand the bites of zombies...
The reason was simple.
It was because Javier attacked at the exact moment they crawled out of the eggs, making it very easy to break through their defense.
If the White Maggots' shells had already hardened, it would indeed have been troublesome.
Javier would have needed to use iron weapons, like throwing the previous street lamp tube with all his might to generate enough piercing force to break their defense.
But for the larvae that had just crawled out of the eggs, it was simple. A light toss of a stone brick could easily crush them to death.
Most people have likely seen the molting process of many shelled insects, the most typical example being the stag beetle.
When a larva wants to evolve into an adult, it needs to go through two molts.
The first is the larval stage, where the soft, big white worm molts to become an adult pupa. The second molt of the pupa is what evolves it into a true stag beetle.
At the moment of molting...
The white bodies of these insects are very soft. These outer shells need prolonged contact with air and blood flow to become incredibly hard.
During this period...
They are at their most vulnerable.
Therefore, when molting, stag beetle larvae bury themselves in the ground or hide inside trees, only crawling out once the molt is truly successful.
And Javier...
Seized the exact moment these C5 Giant Fly larvae crawled out of their eggshells.
He attacked at the point where the shells hadn't hardened and were still very soft. With a light throw, the stone bricks easily killed these larvae.
*Hiss hiss hiss——!!!!*
Seeing more and more larvae being killed by Javier's Tyrant Giant, the C5 Giant Fly mother could finally no longer sit still.
After all, if this continued...
The larvae it had worked so hard to lay would be wiped out, wasting its energy for nothing. Thus, the C5 Giant Fly simply changed its strategy.
Quality over quantity.
It canceled the method of laying dozens of eggs at once. With a wriggle of its abdomen, it only produced one or two eggs this time.
But their size was much larger than before.
Furthermore, these eggs hatched faster. Most incredibly, what crawled out was not a larval White Maggot...
But green-headed flies with wings spread wide.
Namely, the C5 Fly Larvae—with red compound eyes, sharp mouthparts, buzzing wings, bloated abdomens, and wretched limbs that constantly rubbed against their sharp mouthparts.
There was no doubt...
These were miniature versions of the C5 Giant Fly.
They were about three meters in size, half the size of Javier's Tyrant Giant, and roughly equivalent to a small car.
At this moment...
Javier also understood what the C5 Giant Fly was trying to do.
It was directly funneling the maximum amount of energy from its body into the eggs for premature hatching, bypassing the larval stage entirely.
Instead, it allowed them to absorb more nutrients...
To hatch directly in their adult form. This was the real reason why...
The C5 Giant Fly only produced one or two eggs—it concentrated all the nutrients required for other eggs into these few.
It was truly quality over quantity. This method also avoided the risk of the White Maggot larvae being instantly wiped out by Javier.
*Buzz buzz buzz——!!!!!!*
And so...
The moment these C5 Fly Larvae hatched, they immediately aimed their red compound eyes toward Javier's Tyrant Giant.
This massive body was simply the most delicious food.
The C5 Fly Larvae instantly locked onto Javier's flesh. Having just hatched, they were extremely hungry and required a large amount of food to supplement their growth and development.
However...
It remained to be seen if their three-meter bodies could hunt the roughly seven-meter Javier. After all, Javier's Tyrant Giant form wasn't something that could be easily bullied...!
Volume 9 Resident Evil 6: Chapter 69 - When the Nest is Overturned, No Egg Stays Unbroken
The C5 Fly Larvae that successfully hatched from the egg spheres were a full three meters in size, quite sturdy and massive.
Since they were almost a one-to-one scale replica of the mother C5 Giant Fly, their appearance and abilities were extremely similar.
They could fly and use their sharp mouthparts to tear at prey. Simultaneously, the shells on their bodies were very hard; each one was comparable to a mini-boss.
One must not underestimate these C5 Fly Larvae.
They could almost take on a T-103 Tyrant in a one-on-one fight. The only fortunate thing was that the number of these C5 Fly Larvae was limited.
Even the mother C5 Giant Fly could only reproduce about three at most per cycle. Otherwise, if thirty or more C5 Fly Larvae, each comparable to a Tyrant, swarmed together...
Then Javier's giant form would be in a very difficult position.
Of course... achieving such a scale was also very difficult.
After all, the energy required was immense. Producing these offspring had already cost the C5 Giant Fly a lot of energy; it would need a full meal before it could continue reproducing.
*Buzz buzz buzz——!!!!!!*
Their huge transparent wings flapped, producing a continuous buzzing sound, like a squadron of black fighter jets.
Before Javier could even react...
These two C5 Fly Larvae quickly launched an attack, their engines roaring.
The two pitch-black fighter jets dove down with incredible speed. Their four limbs quickly unfurled, revealing sharp barbs and guillotine-like mouthparts.
With a three-meter body, if they landed a bite...
Even a land tank like an African elephant would have a large chunk of flesh ripped away instantly. In almost no time at all...
These two C5 Fly Larvae could dismantle an elephant. Thus, one must never look down on these two mini-boss monsters.
Of course,
Javier's G4 Giant Form was no pushover either. The seven-meter-tall giant had more advantages than just being agile.
If he were that ordinary...
Then this form of Javier's wouldn't even be as strong as a normal Tyrant with its power limiter removed. So, from the beginning, Javier had been hiding his special ability.
And his special ability was very simple.
It was transformation...!
A second transformation? Not exactly... it was limb morphological change.
Javier's Tyrant Giant form, like the normal G2 and G3 forms, could use the G-Virus to perform partial mutations and reinforcements on his body.
For example, growing wings, bone spur longswords on the arms, elbow blades, and other such weapons could be easily achieved.
Therefore, Javier was not afraid of these two aggressive C5 Fly Larvae.
He possessed the trait of "A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands," so he didn't need to worry about being without a weapon. This was the real reason why Javier dared to throw the street lamp tube away so casually.
And now——
*Roar roar roar...!!!!*
With a furious roar,
After Javier bellowed,
He resolutely began to strengthen his giant body. Billowing white steam suddenly began to rise from his originally muscular frame as his body temperature continued to climb.
The flesh-colored muscles began to turn from red to black. This was the hardening of the muscle color, with muscles bulging out one after another.
It was as if layers of black scale armor were attached to the surface of Javier's giant body. This was the true Muscle Armor.
Through partial reinforcement from the G-Virus, Javier's giant body, which had been bare, was now clad in hard armor.
*Puchi...!*
*Crack——!!!*
Even at the arms, bone-white weapons instantly grew out. A sharp elbow blade extended from the outer side of the right arm.
The sharp bone spur at the front was incredibly long, looking just as fierce as the mutated arm Krauser strengthened after devouring the Plaga parasite.
*Buzz buzz buzz buzz...*
*Hiss hiss hiss——!!!!*
Taking advantage of the moment Javier's giant body was transforming, the two C5 Fly Larvae arrived before him in the blink of an eye. Seeing the black armor similar to their own...
The two giant insects did not hesitate. They extended their sharp barbed limbs and guillotine mouthparts and bit down fiercely.
The nearly seven-meter giant body was directly latched onto by the two black, giant green-headed flies.
One latched onto Javier's neck area, while the other latched onto his thigh.
The visual effect was startling, like a living person having their neck and thigh bitten by large black dogs that refused to let go.
However...
*Crack crack——!!!!!*
The sound of teeth shattering soon rang out.
The C5 Fly Larvae's sharp barbed limbs and guillotine mouthparts did not bite through the defense of Javier's giant body as expected.
Nor did they tear off a large chunk of flesh. Instead, it was like a thick steel plate had been placed into a shredder.
The steel plate wasn't shredded; instead, the shredder's steel teeth were snapped, and the entire machine's operation came to a grinding halt!
At this moment, Javier's giant body...
Was like it was wearing a turtle shell, leaving the two C5 Fly Larvae helpless. No matter where they tried to bite, they couldn't break his defense.
On the contrary, they ended up with a mouthful of broken teeth.
Their proud, sharp mouthparts were useless now, unable to leave even a tiny mark on the Muscle Armor.
*Hiss hiss hiss...!!!!*
*Puchi... Zizizizizi——!!!!*
Seemingly realizing that their usually invincible mouthparts could not break his defense, the two C5 Fly Larvae reacted quickly. They stopped obsessing over biting a chunk of meat off Javier's giant body...
And instead, their abdomens began to wriggle.
