On a training ground in the Germa Kingdom. Facing Sephiroth's suggestion to send his three sons to deal with the mech, Judge hadn't voiced his opinion yet.
Niji, wearing a blue combat suit and with blue wavy hair, was the first to speak. He looked displeased. "Don't look down on people! Just a piece of scrap metal, watch me punch it apart..."
As he spoke, Niji clenched his right hand into a fist and stomped his foot on the ground. His body instantly leaped high, shooting towards the WM-2 type mech like a sharp arrow released from a fully drawn bowstring.
"Electric Shock Punch!"
With a fierce shout, a ball of blue electric light instantly enveloped his right fist. This was his electric shock superpower, obtained through lineage factor modification, allowing him to generate powerful high-voltage currents within his body to deal additional damage to enemies.
The next moment, Niji's powerful fist, heavy enough to split mountains and rocks, smashed directly onto the chest of the WM-2 type mech. Sparks flew, and a "Clang!" echoed. However... the WM-2 type mech, which was in flight, merely swayed slightly in mid-air. Niji's punch didn't even leave a dent on the surface of the chest armor.
"Detected attack on the unit by an unregistered personnel. Executing program settings, deciding to take measures of armed suppression against the enemy... Warning: If you wish to surrender and cease resistance, please kneel on both knees, hold your head with both hands, and make no unnecessary movements..."
After being attacked, the WM-2 type mech did not immediately counterattack. Instead, it actively pulled back a distance in mid-air and issued a warning to Niji in an emotionless mechanical synthetic voice.
Regarding the mech's decision not to attack directly, Sephiroth immediately explained patiently to the people beside him: "This is a programmed warning in default mode... If the commander doesn't want to waste words on the enemy, they can directly order the mech to attack. Of course, if the killing mode is activated, this machine won't talk so much nonsense. It will kill the target using the optimal option at the fastest speed..."
"Tch! Boring program settings..."
As he spoke, Niji, wearing the blue combat suit, had gas instantly erupt from his boots, lifting his body to the same height as the WM-2 type mech. The combat suit is the crystallization of Germa's technology. Besides stimulating the physical potential of lineage factor modified humans, greatly increasing their strength and speed, and enhancing their personal superpowers, it also has various auxiliary functions specifically developed for combat, and aerial flight is just one of the many combat abilities of the combat suit!
A strong current of air sprayed from the bottom of Niji's combat boots, propelling his entire body towards the distant WM-2 type mech.
"Electric Shock Flying Kick!" Besides stimulating the physical potential of lineage factor...
When the distance between them closed to a certain extent, he suddenly raised his right leg and kicked towards the head of the WM-2 type mech.
However...
Swish! The WM-2 type mech, arriving later but acting faster, directly raised its mechanical right arm, opened its palm made of special alloy, and firmly grasped Niji's kicking right leg.
Before the opponent could react, it swung him away with a backhand throw.
Plop! Niji's body fell from the air onto the training ground, rolling several times on the stone surface and getting covered in dust. "Damn it! Watch me cut this piece of scrap metal..."
Repeated setbacks twisted Niji's face, making him look furious. He drew the lightning light sword he wore, and a series of powerful currents generated from his body quickly poured into the light sword, causing the blade to instantly shine with dazzling blue-white electric light.
Swish! Niji stomped hard on the ground, his combat boots spraying powerful air currents and creating a sonic boom as he rushed in front of the WM-2 type mech. He swung the long sword in his hand, directly slashing at the latter.
His lightning light sword, when empowered with powerful currents, could cut through thick steel plates as easily as a hot knife through butter, without any obstruction. He refused to believe that his powerful slash, far surpassing that of an ordinary Sword Master, couldn't cut the mech in front of him in half!
However...
Clink! Accompanied by the light ring of a long sword hitting metal, Niji's slash hit the head of the WM-2 type mech without any obstruction. But... His powerful slash only left a shallow scratch on the mech's head.
The next moment.
Under Niji's shocked and bewildered gaze, the WM-2 type mech, with a speed too fast for him to dodge, directly swung its mechanical right arm, clenched its right fist, and heavily smashed it onto his chest.
In an instant, Niji's eyes rolled back, blood spurted from his mouth, and his body plunged straight down from the air like a cannonball, slamming into the ground.
Boom! The ground trembled, a large amount of dust flew up, and cracks spread outwards. "Damn it! This piece of scrap metal's attack power is actually so strong..."
Niji coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood and struggled to pull his body out of the human-shaped crater. The lineage factor modification had given him steel skin and a metal exoskeleton; ordinary blows and gun bullets simply couldn't harm him. But... The WM-2 type mech had only used one punch just now, and it had broken six of his ribs! Before Niji could fully stand steady, the WM-2 type mech turned into a silver-white stream of light, bringing with it a loud air explosion, and swooped down towards him from mid-air.
Its large, cold mechanical right palm instantly pressed onto Niji's head, gripping him firmly like a chick.
Immediately after, before he could react, a tremendous force suddenly came from the mechanical right palm, pressing his entire body towards the ground.
Boom!
Niji, who had just gotten up, had his cheek make close contact with the stone ground again. He was pressed down onto the ground by the WM-2 type mech, creating another crater.
He was about to use his hands to support his body again, but his hands were immediately locked behind his back by the WM-2 type mech.
Then, with Niji suppressed and unable to move, the WM-2 type mech performed a chokehold knee press on him, pressing its mechanical left knee, made of special alloy, onto his neck.
Crackling!
Blue lightning continuously emerged from Niji's body, striking the body of the WM-2 type mech, but the latter completely ignored these attacks, maintaining the kneeling pressure posture. Seeing that Niji had struggled for a while but still couldn't break free, Sephiroth knew he had been completely subdued and had no strength left to resist.
Therefore, he immediately issued an order to the WM-2 type mech: "Disengage combat state, return to standby mode!"
As his words fell, the WM-2 type mech immediately released Niji, quickly stood up, and retreated a few steps, actively pulling back a distance.
With the restraints removed, Niji, after standing up, clenched his fists and tapped his chest a few times, "Bang! Bang!", adjusting the position of his dislocated and broken ribs. Minor injuries like broken ribs would fully recover within half a day with his body modified by lineage factors.
On the other side, Sephiroth said to Judge in a slightly teasing tone: "Speaking of which... how about letting your other two sons try the mech's strength again?"
Judge: "..."
Try what hammer! His son couldn't even break the mech's armor defense, so how could they fight...?
Initially, Judge thought the Umbrella Corporation must have too much money to burn, spending billions of Berries to build a mech. But... After seeing his son, who carried his dream of conquering the North Blue, being completely crushed, Judge finally lowered his proud head and admitted the Umbrella Corporation's vision.
Immediately, a strong desire for more advanced technological weapons quickly filled Judge's heart. If the Germa Kingdom obtained this technology, his dominance over the North Blue would be a certainty! Thinking of this, Judge immediately looked at Sephiroth beside him, his eyes gleaming: "There's no need to continue the test... The Umbrella Corporation's technology is indeed very impressive! If your Company can agree to an additional condition of mine. Then, I will fully accept the cooperation proposal your Company previously put forward..."
Hearing this, Sephiroth couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly. He said with interest:
"Oh!? What additional condition do you want to add?"
"I want your Company's robot manufacturing technology!"
