Beside him, Cortana's blue glowing face paused, seemingly pondering what pain was.
"Cortana, focus the camera on Achilles' feet."
"Yes, Dr.."
Upon hearing Halsey's command, Cortana's holographic body flickered briefly before she began to assist with the operation.
Through the glass, William watched as the mechanical arm moved downwards.
Then he shifted his gaze to the screen in the upper left corner.
Achilles' feet looked 'brand new', with no signs of any wounds, as if they had never been pierced by an arrow.
"Turn him over," Halsey said calmly.
"Yes."
Four small mechanical arms, controlled by Cortana, gently lifted and turned Achilles over.
The result was the same.
Seeing this, William, combining the inscriptions from the tomb, turned to the always cold and elegant Halsey and guessed, "Catherine, does this demigod have an extremely strong healing ability?"
"Possibly," Halsey did not deny this idea.
However...
For a mighty warrior, half-human and half-god, to be killed by pain alone would be truly frustrating.
So, three thousand years ago, people, to avoid tarnishing Achilles' divine image, glossed over the cause of death in the inscriptions.
Immediately after,
Halsey said to Cortana, "Cortana, first try to extract blood from Achilles' neck and heel simultaneously."
"Yes, Dr.."
Before Cortana's response was even finished, she already had two mechanical arms equipped with needles working in sync.
Snap—!
The metal needle at the neck broke cleanly with the mechanical arm's gradual force, unable to penetrate.
In contrast, the mechanical arm at the right heel worked smoothly, the needle easily piercing the skin, and dark red blood flowed through the tubes on the mechanical arm.
Seeing Achilles' blood successfully drawn, Halsey placed both hands on the glass, her face filled with anticipation and excitement, saying,
"It looks like we have something to keep us busy for the next few days!"
William looked at Halsey's crazed expression, his Adam's apple bobbing, always feeling that this woman would eventually drive him to his death.
Calming his thoughts,
William raised his hand and gently patted Halsey's shoulder, saying to her calmly,
"Catherine, I not only brought back Achilles' body, but also the blood of Hydra and Chimera."
"Hmm~?"
Halsey, in the midst of her excitement, turned to William in confusion, "So?"
"Catherine," William deliberately lowered his voice and said seriously, "I want to create a god."
"What?"
Halsey jumped slightly, she hadn't expected William's mind, which she thought was useless, could actually come up with the idea of creating a god.
Clearly, she was taken aback by William's idea.
But, she was very interested.
"So, tell me about your god-making plan, boss~"
William smiled bitterly and did not speak, looking at Achilles' coffin, he said to her,
"Catherine, before, I thought Alpha's bio-armor was enough to deal with most of the contained entities.
But after encountering Hydra... it made me realize that this is far from enough.
You also saw Omega's combat footage, if it weren't for Hank and the others intervening in time, the entire squad would have been wiped out.
"Mm," Halsey said seriously beside him,
"I have obtained the combat data from the Lieutenant and Alpha, which will greatly help in perfecting Thor's Hammer's functions.
Boss, rest assured.
The little Spartans will be ready for body enhancement surgery in half a year, and then we will have a batch of ultimate warriors."
"I know," William waved his hand and said solemnly, "But I'm not talking about Spartans.
(Turning to face Halsey)
Hydra's height reaches twenty-four meters, its strength is estimated to be at least a hundred tons, making it the most difficult species to contain so far.
The immortality and acidic blood are still manageable, but I'm worried about the height.
What if a creature over a hundred meters tall appears in the future?
We can't just use nuclear or hydrogen bombs without knowing the effects, can we?
So, I need a humanoid weapon that can match it."
"A humanoid weapon??"
Halsey was initially shocked, then calmed down, and finally paced back and forth in the observation room, muttering to herself,
"A mecha? Too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and mobility is still an issue.
Wait..."
She had a flash of inspiration and quickly walked back to William, asking,
"Boss, are you thinking of using the blood of Hydra, Chimera, and Achilles to create a giant humanoid biological weapon?"
"Hehe, as expected, you understand me the best," William smiled contentedly and then shared his thoughts:
"In Greek mythology, the gods can all giantify themselves in some way.
So, I hope you can use Achilles' divine aspect to create a giant biological entity that can be piloted."
"A pilotable biological entity?" Halsey showed a puzzled expression for the first time.
After all, this concept was too far from Halsey's usual thinking.
But William continued to explain, "As for the most suitable pilot, it would definitely be your hand-crafted Spartans."
Upon hearing this,
Halsey's eyes shifted from their initial confusion to a curiosity about the unknown, quickly regaining her usual confidence and muttering to herself,
"Giant biological entity, Spartan, biological programming, but how to control it...? Neural connection? Mm... feasible..."
William kept smiling, watching the beautiful doctor in front of him having a brainstorm.
He believed in her.
It might sound a bit like he's relying on her,
But Halsey gave him enough sense of security, as if she could handle everything, and with her around, there would always be a solution.
Actually,
In the previous lottery, when the system told William that Karl needed to be equipped with appropriate weapons to face ultra-giant creatures...
He immediately thought of EVA.
That anime that refreshed his outlook on life and values.
It was also his... awakening anime...
A bit off-topic.
In EVA, humans used 'Adam' and 'Lilith' to create giant biological weapons, the Evangelions.
In the episode where they fought the Fifth Angel, Ramiel,
Unit-00 held a giant shield for defense, while Unit-01 crouched behind, using a positron cannon to snipe and pierce through Ramiel.
Although the details were forgotten, the sniping scene was still vivid in William's memory.
No positron cannon, though.
But there is an Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannon.
If this World really sees the appearance of giant creatures, then Karl equipped with a biological mecha and a custom Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannon would be much more effective than a hydrogen bomb.
'We at Umbrella, though we love nuclear solutions, also love life.
Before losing all hope of victory, we will fight to the death and never run away!'
