Chapter 15 Sephiroth

The top leaders of Hydra gathered in a dark room for an emergency meeting. Baron Strucker, Viper, Arnim Zola, Alexander Pierce and others sat in front of the electronic projection conference table with solemn and serious expressions.

Baron Strucker said in a deep voice: "Our operation failed. Andre and the Electric Man escaped."

Viper snorted coldly and said, "They are too powerful! Electric Man's energy control ability is far beyond our expectations, and Andre's power is beyond imagination."

Arnim Zola was an expressionless man in a suit. He said calmly, "Our weapons don't pose enough threat to them. We need to improve our technological weapons."

Alexander Pierce nodded in agreement, "Yes, we need more advanced weapons to deal with them. Strucker, you must speed up the research and development plan. We can't let them escape again."

"Forget it. He's conducting experiments on people with super powers. Isn't he the most active one this time?" Viper sneered.

"Viper, what do you mean? You haven't invested much." Baron Stark looked at Viper unhappily.

"So, you have lost more than half of your men, Alexander. You must be feeling bad, but you are in the United States. Are you short of manpower? Do you need my help?" Viper asked with a teasing look on his face.

"No need." Alexander Pierce refused expressionlessly.

"I'm leaving first." The suit man of Arnim Zola glanced at them and went offline directly.

"Then I'll leave too." Viper logged off.

"I'm leaving too. I have something else to do." Alexander Pierce nodded to Baron Stark and then logged off.

"Fuck!"

Inside the umbrella.

The lineup at the meeting at this moment included Nathan Hawke, Wesker, Andre, Electro, and Invisible Man. As for Sengoku Lingma, he was not interested and also obtained Nathan Hawke's consent, so he did not come.

"According to the investigation, Hydra's opponent this time should be Baron Strucker in Europe." Nathan Hawke said seriously.

"Europe?" Andre blinked.

Noticing Nathan Hawke's gaze, Andre smiled awkwardly and said no more.

Wesker raised his hand, then stood up and said, "Umbrella has discovered several enemy bases. This time, I, Andre, and Electro will lead the team. As for the Invisible Man, you have a huge influence in Hollywood now. The recent charity gala conflicts with the operation, so you don't have to go."

The Invisible Man nodded after hearing his mission.

"Your lieutenant will inform you of the mission details later." Wesker said to the two.

The two men nodded in agreement. To be honest, they were not good at leading a team, but as the strongest member of the team, they had to be named as the leading officers this time.

"Go down and prepare, and get familiar with your adjutant."

"The meeting is adjourned." Wesker said to the three people.

After the three left, Wesker followed Nathan Hawke to the underground of Umbrella, and Zhan Ji Lingma went with them out of interest.

Zhan Ji Lingma followed the two of them excitedly, poking his hands, and looking forward to the scene that was to follow.

A hexagram of light flashed and illuminated the entire space.

"Here is it, there?"

It was steady and low, giving off a solemn and mysterious tone.

A man with long flowing silver hair and handsome looks, wearing a black buttoned coat, silver shoulder armor, and a black cross-shaped belt on his chest.

"Hello, this is Umbrella Corporation. You are the one who was summoned." Wesker said, looking at the tall and upright man in front of him.

"Summon?" The man frowned.

"That means you can't go back now." Zhan Ji Lingma opened his hands and made a welcoming gesture.

"I remember..." The man fell into deep thought.

Nathan Hawke stared at the man who had been summoned. His name was...

Sephiroth.

The result of experiments by the large-scale Shinra Corporation, he was injected with cells from the alien life form Jenova when he was still a fetus. He is also a member of the Shinra Group's private elite force "Shinra Special Forces". He belongs to the highest of the three classes, the "1st Class", and is also regarded as the strongest person in the "1st Class". He is called a legendary hero and the perfect masterpiece of the Jenova Project.

And this Jenova Project.

All Nathan Hawke could think about were the countless newborn babies who had died.

"Eight swords flashed." The steady voice resounded through people's hearts.

Sephiroth attacked quickly, his eyes revealing a resolute determination. He quickly performed the Eight Swords Flash, the sword dancing like flowing water, swinging eight slashes quickly and accurately. The sword flashed, forming a series of instant slashes, breaking through the air in the direction of Wesker.

Wesker's cold eyes didn't waver at all, he responded to Sephiroth's attack calmly, Wesker quickly dodged the attack of Eight Swords Flash, he flexibly dodged the attack of sword energy while attacking Sephiroth.

"Earth-shaking."

Sephiroth was unmoved. He quickly switched to the Earth-shaking Skill, swung the sword in his hand quickly, and the sword light burst out instantly. He slashed four times in a row. His sword dance was smooth and flowing. The last slash was so powerful that it knocked Wesker, who was unable to dodge, away. Wesker spun in the air, but his body quickly adjusted to avoid being hurt too much.

After Wesker landed, his eyes became more fierce, his expression became colder, his body creaked, and he exuded a sense of majesty and threat from head to toe.

Zhan Ji Lingma looked at this scene excitedly, his eyes shining brightly.

Wesker rushed forward again, and this time his body seemed to be torn apart, and he rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

"For a while."

Sephiroth felt the threat from Wesker, but he did not flinch. He quickly swung out two consecutive slashes, which were more powerful than the Earthshaker. The sword light instantly bloomed, and the two slashes were extremely accurate. Wesker was knocked into the air again, and his body flipped in the air.

However, Wesker was not defeated. He quickly stabilized his body and used the kinetic energy of his body's rotation to regain his balance. He stared directly at Sephiroth with a cold and determined expression.

Sephiroth frowned again. After the opponent was slashed by him, the wound recovered so quickly, as if he had not been injured at all.

"Let's stop the test here. How about it?" Nathan Hawke looked at Sephiroth, who had no murderous intent at all.

"I need to know where I am now. I plan to take a look first." Sephiroth retracted the sword in his hand and looked at Nathan Hawke, who was obviously the leader.

"Zhan Ji Lingma, take him for a walk. By the way, don't bother him unless he is willing." Zhan Ji Lingma understood what Nathan Hawke said. He made an OK gesture and said, "No problem." Zhan Ji Lingma is not a fool. Unless the opponent's combat power is willing, he will not extract the opponent's blood and cells for research.

Nathan Hawke left, he wanted to familiarize himself with the strength of half of Sephiroth's power as soon as possible.

Inside Nathan Hawke's private fighting arena.

"It seems that there is a hidden inner power, but it is very small. Is it because the Jenova cells are not compatible with me?"

Jenova cells are completely incomparable to the virus in Wesker's body.

The Jenova cells seem to be more selective about their hosts as if they have consciousness, but the Ouroboros virus in Wesker's body is different and does not have that many thoughts.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Nathan Hawke picked up the prepared sword and began to swing it.

30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes.

"No, I'm not suitable. This is Sephiroth's skill, not his superpower." Nathan Hawke frowned. It seemed that it was very difficult to detect the Jenova cells in his body.

"First get familiar with it for a few days, and then go to Umbrella to extract my blood and cells." Nathan Hawke, who had figured it out, threw away the sword in his hand and began to practice according to the training method derived from the combat data analysis.

And on the other side.

"If you need revenge, Hammer Group will be your strongest backing."

"No need. I will rely on my strength to make the other party die without a burial place."

As time passed, Umbrella's plan to attack Hydra's European base was ready.

Location: Monaco.

"Is there any good work today?" Nathan Hawke looked at Justin Hammer who looked excited.

Justin Hammer gave a sly smile and said, "Thanks to you, the stock market of Hammer Group has been rising recently. Come, let me toast you."

"No, everyone has their own needs, and you have also contributed." Nathan Hawke quickly refused.

To be honest, Nathan Hawke knew Justin Hammer's ambitions.

Especially the "spying" on one's own superheroes.

However, after discovering that Nathan Hawke was difficult to deal with, and after experiencing a series of assassination attempts, as well as personally accompanying Nathan Hawke to be assassinated, the idea of ​​replacing him in his heart was immediately extinguished.

The "bigwigs" in the same interest group were also informed of Nathan Hawke's assassination. This made many of the "bigwigs" with ideas put aside their greed a little and just enjoy the dividends from the group with peace of mind.

Among them, Justin Hammer's approach also made Nathan Hawke somewhat satisfied. It blocked some unnecessary troubles for him, such as some "politicians" who wanted to share a piece of the pie.

Although Nathan Hawke can handle these things, it is not impossible if Justin Hammer steps in.

As for whether people will say bad things about you behind your back, that depends on personal opinion.

"There's a great show for Stark today, you're going to like it. It's a superb real-life action blockbuster." Justin Hammer introduced in an exaggerated tone.

"Really? Then I'll have to look forward to it." Nathan Hawke replied with a fake smile.

"You'll definitely like it." Justin Hammer smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, shit. Maybe I should install my JARVIS on a Formula One car."
