Rocot: Reborn

Alicia's fingertips frivolously brushed over Roccod's cheek. His painful twitching seemed to her like the most ridiculous performance in the world. "Look at you now, you look like a ghost," she giggled, her tone full of twisted joy, "where is your arrogance that once looked down on everything? Huh?"

Rocot wanted to refute, wanted to denounce her betrayal, but all that came out of his throat was a painful roar. He felt as if countless poisonous snakes were frantically drilling and biting his blood vessels, and the severe pain made his eyes go black.

"Don't worry, the fun has just begun." Alicia said, picking up a blue-glowing injection from the lab table and shaking it gently. "Do you know what this is? This is the essence extracted from your fear. It will turn you into a complete monster!"

Arthur's eyes were red with anger, and he rushed towards Alicia, but was thrown away by an invisible force and hit hard against the wall. He struggled to stand up, but found that he could not move, and could only watch Alicia insert the needle into Roccod's vein.

"No--!" Arthur roared desperately, his voice full of pain and powerlessness.

The liquid in the injection was injected into Locot's body without a drop left. His originally pale skin became even more transparent, and one could almost see the black blood vessels flowing underneath, like a twisted black spider web, hideous and terrifying.

"Do you feel it? This is the power of your fear!" Alicia leaned close to Roccod's ear, her voice as cold as a poisonous snake's tongue, "I want you to watch with your own eyes, watch everything you cherish turn to ashes..."

Roccod's body began to tremble violently. He rolled on the ground in agony, scratching his hands in vain, trying to escape this inhuman torture. He felt his consciousness being swallowed up by darkness bit by bit. His past memories and glory turned into fragments, rolling and colliding in his mind...

“Hahahaha…” Alicia looked at Rocot’s painful expression and laughed wildly, as if she was admiring a rare treasure. “From today on, you are no longer Rocot. You are just a monster dominated by fear, a tool that only knows how to kill!”

As Alicia finished speaking, Rocot's body underwent a drastic change. His originally upright body quickly expanded, and his clothes were torn, revealing his skin covered with black scales. His hands turned into sharp claws, and a pair of huge black wings grew behind him. His originally handsome face also became hideous and terrifying, and only his eyes still flashed with pain and struggle.

The lights in the lab began to flash wildly, and alarms rang throughout the base. But Alicia didn't care. She looked at the monster she had created with her own hands, with an intoxicated look on her face.

"Go, my masterpiece, go and turn this world upside down!"

Roccod let out a deafening roar, and his black wings fluttered violently, and the entire laboratory was instantly reduced to ruins...

Alicia stood in the ruins, watching Rocot's receding back, with a cruel smile on her lips. She knew that from this moment on, the world would no longer be peaceful, and she would become the initiator of this chaos.

However, Alicia did not notice that in Roccod's eyes, which were full of pain and struggle, there flashed a subtle cunning light...

The deafening roar echoed in Alicia's ears, mixed with the loud noise of the laboratory collapsing, like a chaotic symphony. She stood in the ruins, dust covered everything like a veil, choking her throat. But she didn't care, licking her cracked lips with her scarlet tongue, a cruel smile bloomed on her face, like a blooming poppy, beautiful and deadly.

"Go, my masterpiece," she whispered, looking at the direction where Rocot was going away, with a hint of crazy expectation in her tone, "Go and release your fear, let the world tremble in your pain!"

She seemed to have seen how the once high and mighty King of Darkness turned into a monster that only knew how to kill, and under her control, dragged the world into an endless abyss. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh softly, and her laughter was full of twisted pleasure.

However, Alicia didn't know that behind her, in the ruins that she regarded as a masterpiece, a pair of golden eyes slowly opened, flashing a cold and teasing light.

"Fear? Haha, that's just what I left behind..."

Rocot slowly stood up, the black scales on his body reflecting a cold luster in the moonlight, like a messenger from hell. He flexed his thick claws, feeling the power surging in his body, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Alicia, do you think you really understand me?" He whispered to himself, his voice hoarse and gloomy, "Do you think you created a monster? No, you created a...demon!"

He spread his huge black wings, flapped them violently, turned into a black lightning, and disappeared into the night sky.

Alicia was immersed in her own fantasy and didn't notice anything strange behind her. She returned to her secret laboratory and began to prepare for the next plan. She wanted to use Rocot, the "monster" she created, to stir up a chaos that would sweep the world, and she would rise to the pinnacle of power in this chaos.

However, her sweet dream did not last long.

"Report! Unknown energy fluctuations detected!"

"What? Where is it?"

"Right...right inside the base!"

Alicia stood up suddenly, her face changed suddenly, and an ominous premonition came over her.

"Damn it! How could he..."

Before she could finish her words, the door of the laboratory exploded, and a tall figure walked in slowly. Every step seemed to step on her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Long time no see, Alicia, or should I say, my dear... Creator?"

Rocot stood before her with a devilish smile on his face, his golden eyes flashing with cold murderous intent, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Alicia stepped back in fear, but found that her body seemed to be bound by invisible shackles and could not move. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out. She could only watch Rocot approach step by step with a creepy smile on his face.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Rocot leaned over and whispered in her ear. His tone was as gentle as the whisper of lovers, but it made her feel cold to the bone.

"Nothing, I just came to... take back everything that belongs to me."

He stretched out his thick claws and gently stroked Alicia's cheek. His sharp nails scratched her skin, leaving a trace of blood.

"You know what, I hate it most when someone betrays me."
