HELLSING Chapter 4 "Black Onyx (2)"

Black Onyx (2) (ブラックオニキス (2),) is the fourth chapter of Hellsing: Volume 10. It is also the Eighty-Third chapter of the Hellsing manga and the second part of the Black Onyx series of chapters.

Summary
As Alucard is informed about his loss by The Major, the cocky Alucard of course denies it; stating that he's never lost until... a familiar sun rises. He feels an odd sense of forboding as this same sunrise was what he sees when he died in the past. Suddenly, Schrodinger's poison kicks in as Sir Integra begs for Alucard to not disappear. This... is an order he cannot comply.

Synopsis
In the distance, Alucard heard The Major stating that he's lost. In response, he guffaws at this concept, stating he doesn't lose. "Lose? I'm going to lose? You mean you lot will defeat me?," a question Dracula asked to Abraham Van Helsing and his men. "I'll never lose. There's no way I would," a quote Vlad the Impaler said to his army. But then suddenly, Alucard witnesses the rise of the sun and suddenly has a strange sense of Deja vu. Asking where is he and what is he seeing, he glares at the rising sun as he soon realizes that this is the place every time he experiences death; from when he was cornered by Abraham and his men, rescuing Mina Harker in the process... to when he was executed by the Ottoman Empire. Glaring at the rising sun, standing still as he realizes fully that this is what he sees when he dies time after time; "I think... I never knew the sun's light was so beautiful." Then, the river of blood Alucard had sucked turns into millions of eyes of the souls Alucard had sucked which closes one... by one. Half of Alucard's body is completely covered in eyes and he's stunned; he cannot do anything to stop it from closing its eyes.

Satisfied, The Major snaps his finger and sings. As Alucard stares into his arm, he then sees the eye on it closing as a hopeless Walter C. Dornez hopelessly lights up a cigarette and begins to smoke; completely giving up. Staring at the screen in which Alucard's eyes are closing is playing on, a clueless Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing then asks The Major about what he did to her servant, which The Major states that he did all, anything and everything. He explains that he absorbed the life of Warrant officer Schrödinger, and what she sees is nothing more than his assimilation with the nature of life. The mystery of Schrödinger's cat, The Major explains; in which, Schrödinger is a self observation which possesses its own will; that's exactly what he is right now. He then continues by stating that he's a Cheshire cat who jumps around in a world where the probability of existence itself is equivocal; so as long as he's cognizant of himself, he is both everywhere and nowhere.

So then, The Major states that Alucard has dissolved into millions of consciousness and lives, therefore; he cannot perceive himself as himself. Then, The Major states that now; Alucard is nowhere- he is neither alive nor dead; Alucard is now nothing more... than a cluster of imaginary numbers as The Major manically smiles saying that. Shrouded in darkness, Sir Integra then screams at Alucard's name while the formers eyes closes.

Then... at the center of Alucard's torso; a giant eye in which is Alucard's himself, begins to close as Integra orders Alucard to not close his eyes; begging him to open them and reminding him that, that's an order. This is futile and hopeless. As Alucard fades away from existent, Sir Integra once more begs for him to not disappear; only for Alucard to look down, smile and closes his eye. Then, he explains that... this is goodbye to his master, Integra. Then in a blink of an eye, a river of blood once was there and now, has disappeared entirely along with the one who'd done this.

Trivia

 * Funny enough, Schrödinger is both present and absent in this chapter, appearing only to allow The Major to make an example from him, therefore fulfilling his role in the story as Schrödinger's cat in which he both exists and does not exist at the same time.
 * In this chapter, The Major mentions that Alucard has become nothing more than a set of Imaginary Numbers. An imaginary number is any number that contains a negative number when squared and is represented with the character "i". When you attempt to find the square root of a negative number, you receive an imaginary number (also known as a complex number) that exists, yet has no definitive value, which further factors into Schrödinger's ability to both everywhere and nowhere in that he exists, yet not in any definitive way, being both alive and dead, everywhere and nowhere. Alucard does as well, and while existing, has no definite value to prove that he truly exists.
