Suddenly, Sephiroth stepped beyond the defensive line, his figure flashing like lightning through the enemy ranks. His movements were elegant and handsome, every sweep of his katana filled with power and precision. His attacks sent the enemies sprawling in all directions, leaving them utterly bewildered.
Sephiroth revealed his cold side. He showed no mercy, focusing only on wiping out the enemy. He spoke to his adjutant over the radio. "The line has been breached. Stay safe."
Yet while he was ruthless toward his enemies, he showed warmth and concern for his comrades. He remained vigilant at all times, giving his teammates timely support and protection.
"Kill him! Kill him!" A mid-ranking Hydra officer pointed at the slaughtering Sephiroth.
Sephiroth stood before the corpses of Hydra soldiers, his gaze cold and merciless. A katana appeared in his hand, its blade giving off an icy gleam. He moved with the agility of a cheetah, weaving nimbly across the battlefield.
His sword techniques were swift and precise, every slash a lethal strike. Sword light tore through the air and pierced the vital points of Hydra soldiers, who were powerless to resist Sephiroth's attacks. Blood sprayed as the soldiers fell, their lives vanishing without a trace beneath Sephiroth's blade.
Hydra soldiers fired wildly at Sephiroth. His movements were elegant and swift as he leaped lightly aside, easily evading their attacks before instantly counterattacking and cutting them down.
Sephiroth's swordsmanship was fierce and precise. Using the weight of his katana and the sharpness of its edge, he cleaved through the enemy's defenses. His blade work was unpredictable—at times violent as a raging storm, at others soft as a lingering drizzle—making him impossible for his enemies to predict or counter. He danced with the katana, blade shadows crisscrossing as he dismantled the bodies of Hydra soldiers one by one.
The Hydra soldiers retreated frantically, driven into a corner by Sephiroth without a moment to catch their breath.
"Get him." The mid-ranking officer raised his weapon.
"Your resistance is nothing but futile struggling. Beneath my sword, you are destined to become nothing more than a pile of corpses."
Hearing the voice beside his ear, the officer suddenly felt his blood flowing as his body began to...
Sephiroth paid no attention to the officer's corpse collapsing behind him. Instead, he watched the Hydra soldiers whose morale was beginning to crumble.
"You were once soldiers of Hydra. Now, you are merely puppets beneath my blade."
"No one can escape the shadow of death. You are nothing but insects in my destiny."
Sephiroth spoke slowly.
On another battlefield.
"Blow it up! Blow it up! Blow it up!"
"Hahahaha!"
Watching the special operations team unleash a barrage of rockets, Electro shouted happily.
"Sir, we need your power." The adjutant spoke calmly to Electro.
"Sir, we need your Energy Shock to destroy the Hydra base." The adjutant looked at Electro with a determined expression.
Electro nodded, powerful currents flashing in his eyes. He gathered energy, filling his body with charge as he prepared to unleash a devastating attack.
The adjutant began explaining the assault plan. "First, we will use the sir's aerial support to clear the anti-air weapons around the base. We need to use the sir's Energy Shock to destroy them all. Once the anti-air weapons are cleared, our aircraft will be able to enter the base's airspace safely."
The adjutant continued, "Next, we will split into teams and enter the base, destroying the enemy's communications facilities and power systems to weaken their resistance. We need to use the sir's electrical control abilities to paralyze the base's power grid and plunge them into darkness."
"Once those two objectives are complete, we will assist the sir in launching an extermination assault against the soldiers inside the Hydra base."
After finishing, the adjutant waited for Electro's orders.
"Very good. We'll do it your way."
The special operations team moved out tensely but orderly. Coordinating with Electro's Energy Shock, they advanced toward the Hydra base. Planes and helicopters circled overhead, preparing to clear the surrounding anti-air weapons and open a safe path for the team.
Electro stood on high ground, staring resolutely toward the Hydra base. Looking at the gaps blasted open around him, his body gradually filled with charge, electricity flickering around him like living lightning. He spread his arms, his body flashing like an arc of electricity as current converged upon him. Raising both hands, he unleashed a powerful Energy Shock that instantly reduced the Hydra base's anti-air weapons to ash.
The adjutant directed the team members to quickly disperse toward their separate targets.
At the same time, planes and helicopters launched a fierce assault. Rockets and bombs screamed down, destroying the Hydra base's anti-air weapons. Explosions and blazing fire intertwined in the sky, utterly shattering the enemy's defensive system.
With the anti-air weapons destroyed, the special operations team quickly entered the base. Using night-vision gear and tactical communication devices to stay connected, they worked together with seamless coordination.
Electro unleashed his Energy Shock. Quickly following the special operations team already inside the Hydra base, he cut off the base's power system and plunged the entire facility into darkness. The enemy panicked, unable to communicate effectively with the outside world, and fell into complete chaos.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the special operations team moved swiftly, eliminating Hydra soldiers one after another.
Meanwhile, Electro rampaged through the base, waving his hands and releasing powerful currents. Electric arcs flickered around his body, making piercing crackling sounds whenever they struck an enemy. His Energy Shock instantly brought down Hydra soldiers, whether through electric shocks or arc cutting, without the slightest mercy.
"What is that?" Electro's attention was drawn to a muscular little giant.
"Hail Hydra." The officer's face was animated, full of conviction.
"Enjoy it. This is a killing weapon from the superpowered experiment that will bring you death. You will howl out the final movement of your defeat." The officer crazily rattled on at Electro.
The superpowered man looked arrogantly at Electro and revealed a disdainful smile. His muscles swelled with surging power, making him appear even more imposing and terrifying.
Crack!
The officer's head was crushed directly by the superpowered man's grip.
"Wow." Electro's lips curled up in delight, seeming extremely interested in the sight.
"Thank you very much for coming. You gave me hope of escaping this place, so..." The superpowered man gave an evil chuckle. "I'll make your death very comfortable."
Electro remained unmoved, cold currents flickering in his eyes. He fearlessly faced the superpowered man's provocation, ready to display his true strength.
"Is that so? Then I really should thank you, you big idiot."
"Die!" The superpowered man charged at Electro, his muscle-swollen fist bursting with immense power. Yet Electro agilely dodged every attack, his body moving like lightning to avoid the man's fists.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The superpowered man's swollen fists smashed into the surrounding walls one after another. The gaping holes and collapsing walls showed his astonishing destructive power, yet he still could not land a hit on Electro.
"What is this game called again?" Electro stopped dodging and put on a thoughtful expression.
"Bastard!"
The superpowered man flew into a rage, his body swelling once more.
"Wow, won't your body burst in the end? You might even blow your shit out?" Electro mocked, watching the man approach with a fist larger than Electro's upper body flashing threateningly before him.
He leaped upward, dodging the incoming attack as the adjutant's voice came through the radio.
"Looks like I can't keep playing with you properly."
He unleashed a powerful electric shock. Then currents gathered and leaped between his fingers like enraged snakes roaring.
"I'm going to smash you apart."
"Argh!"
The superpowered man let out a scream. The power of his swollen muscles was suppressed by the electrical attack and gradually weakened. Yet he remained unwilling to accept it and launched another fierce assault.
Electro smiled coldly, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Using his electrical control ability, he sent currents surging up from the ground, forming an electric prison that trapped the superpowered man within. The electric prison emitted a piercing hum that sent chills down the spine.
"This move is called Electric Prison. It was invented by those scientists at the Umbrella Corporation, and you're the first test subject. You should be happy." Electro's face turned wicked as he clapped his hands together.
The electric prison instantly closed and sliced through him.
"Aaaah!!!"
A terrifying, tearing wail rang out, but it was useless.
Electro looked expressionlessly at the superpowered man lying on the ground. He held not the slightest pity, making no effort to hide his cruelty toward his enemies.
"I don't know how to handle this kind of thing, so you tell me what to do, and I'll do it." Andrew looked at the adjutant beside him.
"We will assault the Hydra base in squads, with each group responsible for a different task." Following the plan issued by Wesker, the overall commander of this operation, the adjutant began. "First squad, your mission is to clear the sentries and security facilities around the base, ensuring our operation goes undetected. Use your stealth and sniping skills to avoid combat whenever possible, but if you are discovered, eliminate the enemy immediately."
"Second squad, I will be responsible for destroying the base's communication system and surveillance equipment. Use your technical and demolition capabilities to destroy all equipment used to contact the outside world and weaken Hydra's intelligence-gathering ability."
"Third squad, the main assault force led by the sir. Your mission is to eliminate Hydra's soldiers and destroy their armories and laboratories. Use your combat skills and equipment to assist the sir's offensive."
Andrew stared at the Hydra base, his gaze firm and calm. He took a deep breath, allowing the energy within him to fill his entire body.
This is my first large-scale battle. I absolutely, absolutely cannot make a mistake.
"Move!" At Andrew's command, the three squads sprang into action.
