Dr. Lada felt as though his skull were about to split open—his mind foggy, his vision doubled, his breath shallow. He groaned softly, forcing his eyes open to take in his surroundings.
He was in a completely unfamiliar basement. A harsh incandescent bulb blazed directly into his face. The Green Goblin armor he'd been wearing had vanished without a trace, and his body was tightly bound to a surgical table. Whoever tied him clearly knew what they were doing—the ropes cut deep into his muscles, tightening the more he struggled.
He tried to move several times, but each attempt only made the bindings dig deeper. Already weak, he could barely even lift a finger now.
Without the Goblin armor, he was nothing more than a crippled man. The feeling of being powerless filled him with panic and despair.
"Where… where am I? Winston! Winston, get out here!"
He wasn't stupid. It didn't take him long after waking to realize that Winston had been the one to ambush him. He screamed hoarsely for a long while, but the basement remained eerily silent.
With no sense of time, Dr. Lada couldn't even tell how long he'd been down there.
Then—
Click.
A door creaked open. Footsteps echoed, followed by the dragging of something heavy.
When Winston stepped into the basement, all of Lada's defiance evaporated. The man who once spoke arrogantly now whimpered and pleaded for mercy.
"Winston… Winston, please, let me go. I'm begging you."
Winston set down a full bucket of clear water beside him, then reached out and grabbed Lada by the ear—pulling hard.
"Ahhh!!"
Lada screamed, the pain so sharp it almost tore his ear clean off.
"You answer when I ask. Don't try any tricks," Winston said coldly. "I learned a lot during my time with the Navy SEALs. Trust me—you don't want to find out how much."
He released the shredded ear, now slick with blood.
"Mr. Osborn… he won't let you get away with this…" Lada gasped, tears and snot mixing on his face. The pain had choked his screams into coughing fits so violent he sounded like he might hack up a lung.
"That's not your concern," Winston said, his reptilian face twisting into a grin. "Right now, Osborn's halfway across the Pacific. He can't do a damn thing."
Lada's eyes went wide in horror.
"You… you sent him to Japan on purpose…"
Only now did he understand: Winston had lured Norman Osborn abroad just to create this opportunity for revenge. Winston's current misery was his fault—and Winston had never forgotten it.
But compared to Winston's cunning, Lada's scheming was laughable.
"Of course," Winston said flatly. "Now, I'm done wasting time. Tell me—what exactly does Norman Osborn want from me?"
He clamped one clawed hand around Lada's throat, pressing his scaled face close until their eyes met.
"So you found out," Lada sneered faintly through his terror. "Why should I tell you? Either way, I'm dead. You'll never escape Osborn's shadow—you'll spend your days waiting for him to find you."
Winston's expression darkened. He sliced the lid off the water bucket with one razor-sharp claw.
"You could've died quickly, Freddy. But people who've never seen war always overestimate their willpower. Believe me—after a little of what I know, you'll beg to talk."
He began the water torture.
Within seconds, Lada was shrieking like a slaughtered pig, thrashing against the restraints until he lost control of his bladder. The stench in the room became unbearable.
"Uhh… I'll talk! I'll talk! Just stop—please!"
Completely broken, Lada gasped for air, tears streaking through the grime on his face. His chest heaved like a bellows with a hole in it.
"Now that's better," Winston said coolly. "Start talking."
"Cough—Osborn's Godzilla gene… it's incomplete," Lada stammered between ragged breaths. "Compared to human DNA, the data in that gene is like an ocean to a puddle. Osborn only managed to fuse a tiny fraction of it. Most of the sequence lies dormant—embedded in his DNA but completely inactive."
Lada had studied Osborn's genetic samples. Compared to the genetic data extracted from fossilized remains, only about 35% of the Godzilla genes were active. The remaining 65% were silent—useless, dead code.
"The same serum can only be injected once," he continued weakly. "A second dose might stabilize the mutation, but it can't awaken the dormant genes. Multiple injections from different serums are… extremely dangerous. The genome collapses easily. But Osborn—he refused to stop. The power he gained made him greedy. He wanted all of the Godzilla genes."
"So," Lada rasped, "he came up with another plan—to find a compatible host… a body without reproductive barriers. By mating with it, the resulting eggs would contain those dormant genes. If the eggs were then processed into a serum and injected back into his body, the activation could continue—until he became a true Godzilla."
The bucket clattered to the ground with a deafening clang.
Winston froze. His entire body stiffened as every scale on him stood on end. A chill ran down his spine.
"He… he chose me as the host?"
Lada looked at him with cruel delight. Despite the pain, his expression was almost euphoric.
"Of course. Who else?" he said hoarsely. "You've consumed too many of your own kind—you've already begun to regress. I've analyzed your DNA, Winston. A significant portion is identical to Osborn's."
Winston stumbled back, shaking his head. The truth shattered something inside him.
"No… no, that's impossible! That can't be true!"
Lada gazed at him almost pityingly.
"Let me give you a quick biology lesson, Winston. Reptilian sexual traits aren't stable. Especially in hybrids like you—changing sex is almost trivial. Hahaha… give it a little time, and I'll be calling you Mrs. Johnson!"
His laughter turned hysterical—then stopped abruptly.
Because Winston had twisted his head clean off.
