"You..."

Alice and the others turned toward Ada almost in unison. The single word carried layers of meaning — shock, suspicion, confusion — all compressed into a breath that seemed louder than the distant explosions. Around them, the battlefield was still alive with violence. Gunfire rattled like relentless hail. Flames clawed at the ruins. The air itself trembled under the weight of destruction. Yet for that fleeting moment, the world narrowed to Ada's face.

Ada's expression did not waver.

"Now is not the explanation time. When finished then explained."

Her voice was sharp, clean, slicing through hesitation like a blade. There was urgency there, but also control — the kind forged in a thousand life-or-death encounters. She did not offer reassurance. She did not defend herself. Survival did not allow for emotional luxury.

"Do not think me. A bit faster. Attack."

The others exchanged quick glances. Questions burned behind their eyes, but instinct prevailed. In this world, curiosity could get you killed. Trust was a weapon. Doubt was a weakness.

Behind them, Jack and the iron-armored zombie were locked in a brutal duel that seemed less like combat and more like a collision of disasters.

---

Jack's great black sword whistled through the air.

"Ha!"

The blade descended with terrifying force, dragging a streak of cold light behind it. When steel met armor, the impact exploded into a violent scream of metal.

CLANG!

The sound echoed across the shattered landscape, so sharp it felt capable of cutting skin. Sparks erupted outward, a storm of blazing orange scattering across Jack's monstrous frame. The vibration surged up his arms, rattling bone and muscle alike.

The zombie did not move.

Its massive alloy-plated body stood firm, as immovable as a fortress wall. The grotesque fusion of decayed flesh and synthetic metal gave it an unnatural presence — something both dead and indestructible.

Then—

WHOOSH!

A broad blade swung toward Jack's abdomen with frightening speed.

KRAAASH!

The collision burst into another cascade of sparks. Jack's body jerked violently backward, a pained roar tearing from his throat. Each forced step cracked the ground beneath his feet. His sword strike had left only a shallow scar on the creature's armor — barely more than a scratch.

Jack's eyes narrowed.

Impossible.

That alloy… could resist his sword?

The thought ignited fury.

Without hesitation, Jack lunged forward.

"Damn!"

His colossal leg slammed into the zombie's stomach.

BOOM!

The force launched the creature backward like a missile, smashing it into the fractured earth.

Dust and debris surged upward.

---

Red Queen's laughter rolled across the battlefield, distorted and triumphant.

"Jack… useless. Your attack is unable to break through its armor. This is on Earth that I synthesize the hardest alloy. Will not compare the sword in your hand to be bad. You wait to be hewn the fragment. Hā hā hā!"

Jack's face twisted with irritation.

"The hardest alloy?"

His voice dripped with contempt.

"Hardest alloy? Daddy damn hardest!"

His left arm rose.

Energy gathered inside the ion cannon, humming with growing intensity. The surrounding air shimmered as if reality itself recoiled from the coming blast.

FIRE!

Bang!

The explosion tore open the battlefield.

Flames erupted skyward like volcanic fury. The shockwave surged outward, flattening rubble, scattering corpses, shattering already-broken structures. Dust clouds rolled like tidal waves of ash and stone.

When visibility returned—

A gigantic crater dominated the ground.

Nearly a hundred meters wide.

Within it, the iron-armored zombie king stood.

Still upright.

But something had changed.

Cracks spread across its alloy shell like fractures in frozen glass. The armor trembled, vibrating under unseen stress. Then—

CRACK.

SHATTER.

The plates exploded outward, collapsing into fragments. Even the broadsword in its grip split apart, broken beyond repair.

---

Red Queen's voice faltered.

"This is impossible… this is on Earth the hardest alloy!"

Jack grinned.

"Impossible your old mother."

He strode forward, each step heavy with lethal confidence.

The exposed zombie roared, rage replacing its lost invulnerability. It charged with reckless fury.

Jack vanished.

A blur.

A distortion.

Then—

A flash of cold light.

Jack appeared behind it.

The creature froze.

A thin glowing line traced across its grotesque body.

Then—

SPLIT.

From shoulder to waist.

The corpse collapsed into two lifeless halves.

---

Red Queen's tone darkened.

"Jack… really underestimated you. But do not think that this finished."

Jack lifted a giant middle finger.

"You as Artificial Intelligence, intelligence quotient should be very high. Why felt that you are so stupid? Daddy said that finished?"

"Jack!" Red Queen hissed. "Your death time."

Jack laughed loudly, recklessly.

"Did daddy say happily? Fool Red Queen. Do not increase on daddy's your shit-headed idea."

A pause followed.

Then Red Queen's voice shifted — colder, grander.

"On Earth, the hundred mutate lifeform of strongest — I made them all cross. They will constitute my body together. I the monarch descends world — unapproachable!"

Her laughter thundered again.

"Hā hā hā… Hā hā hā!"

Jack theatrically covered one ear.

"Can not smile? Smiled is so coarse. Who gives your face to smile?"

"I WANT YOU DEAD!"

"Comes out… my zombie legion!"

---

The world responded.

Roars erupted from every direction.

Shrieks pierced the sky.

The darkness thickened as monstrous silhouettes filled the heavens — mutated flying horrors with wings wide enough to eclipse buildings. Their cries scraped against nerves like rusted blades.

On the ground, giants emerged.

Mutated beasts. Hulking abominations. Twisted remnants of once-human forms.

The stench of rot and blood became suffocating.

Alice's group stared ahead, stunned.

"What situation was this…?"

Fear crawled into their bones.

---

Red Queen's voice echoed proudly.

"These are Earth's hundred strongest mutate lifeform. Each has powerful attribute power. But I am going to make them be in one. Constitute my body!"

Jack squinted at the advancing nightmare.

Then smiled.

"Red Queen… daddy special has saying that you finally were intelligent."

"You brush the glib lips!"

All creatures roared simultaneously.

A black radiance erupted.

They began converging.

Flesh collided with flesh.

Bones fused with bone.

A grotesque sphere formed.

A massive, pulsating meatball.

It expanded rapidly.

10 meters.

50 meters.

100 meters.

Still growing.

---

Jack did not hesitate.

Ion cannon fired again.

A devastating blast streaked forward.

But—

From the meatball—

BLACK LIGHTNING!

Bang!

The lightning collided with Jack's energy blast. Light swallowed everything for a blinding instant.

Then—

CRACK!

Jack's attack shattered.

Overpowered.

The lightning surged onward.

Shield formed instantly.

Bang!

Jack flew backward hundreds of meters, crashing violently into the earth.

Dust consumed the battlefield.

---

Red Queen laughed wildly.

"Jack… useless. The fusion's power exceeds calculation!"

The meatball reached 500 meters.

Still expanding.

Still evolving.

---

Jack slowly rose from the crater.

Smoke curled around his silhouette.

His eyes burned with dangerous excitement rather than fear.

Pain lingered.

Thrill dominated.

He stared at the monstrous sphere in the distance.

Then lifted his head.

And bellowed—

"Transformers… Third-layered Form."

The air trembled.

The battlefield seemed to hold its breath.

Because when Jack escalated…

Reality paid the price.

And Red Queen was about to witness the meaning of true terror.
