Hansen nodded. He had already briefly introduced the origin of this robot to the two of them.
He stepped forward and casually tapped the leg armor of the heavy robot, which stood over five meters tall, producing a dull "thump-thump-thump" sound: "Internal codename 'war 1', or W1 (war 1) for short."
The appearance of war 1 perfectly combined the multi-cannon doctrine of Metal Knight and the heavy modification style of Armored Gorilla. Its lines were rugged, its edges distinct, and it exuded a murderous aura of impending battle.
Its massive body, nearly five meters tall, was entirely covered in matte black special composite armor, with dark red energy pathways subtly flowing through the armor seams.
Its right arm was a terrifyingly large caliber six-barrel Gatling gun, while its left arm was equipped with a high-frequency vibrating folding battle-axe that could instantly extend its three-meter-long blade.
Its broad shoulders were even more outrageously fitted with a miniaturized electromagnetic railgun on each side.
As for its back, the honeycomb-like missile launch bays made Genos's eyelids twitch.
This was no robot; this was clearly a mobile land battleship, a standard killing machine!
Genos was shocked by the technological content and foreseeable destructive power of the robot before him, as well as the chilling energy reactions emanating from its cold metal body, like a small nuclear reactor.
It was not inferior to his own energy core in the slightest!
He subconsciously praised it in an extremely serious tone: "A highly complete modern weapon!"
"Whether it's the energy system, armor material, or weapon configuration, it far surpasses my current understanding! I never expected Mr. Hansen to have such a powerful research institute hidden under his command!"
"It's not that grand," Hansen said casually, as if introducing an ordinary household appliance, "Strictly speaking, this is just an experimental mass-produced grunt unit. It's mainly used to test technological stability and collect combat data, paving the way for subsequent official models."
Genos: "..."
Grunt unit?
He glanced at the two electromagnetic railguns flashing with dangerous blue light, then at the Gatling gun barrels thicker than his waist, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
If this counted as a grunt unit, then what was he, an S-Class Hero?
On the other side, Mr. King was a completely different sight.
He said nothing, but his eyes were already shining with immense excitement and fervor.
Previously, he had the glorious record of temporarily taking over Genos's body and easily defeating a Demon-level Monster.
But Genos, that kid, was ultimately an independent cyborg with his own thoughts. Although he could lie flat and let Mr. King operate him during battle, there was always a lack of that perfect, intuitive connection between a player and their exclusive character, like an arm directing a finger.
And this time, Hansen had called him to help test this robot, which was purely built for combat!
Mr. King was almost certain that this type of specialized combat weapon would definitely allow him to find the feeling of sweeping through armies and being invincible with effortless peak-level operations, just like in a game!
Thump-thump... thump-thump... thump-thump-thump-thump...!!
The Emperor Engine of the strongest man on Earth roared like a war drum.
The sound was heavy and powerful, making the surrounding air tremble.
Hansen glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He knew that Mr. King was thoroughly excited.
Indeed, mechs are a man's undying romance!
"Mr. Hansen!"
Genos stepped forward, his gaze burning as he stared at the powerfully imposing war 1 grunt robot, his tone incredibly firm.
"Please allow me to join this live combat test!"
"I want to be Mr. King's opponent and, from the most direct perspective, once again experience and learn Mr. King's miraculous combat artistry!"
"Please!"
With that, he bowed deeply.
"Today is a live combat test anyway. With an S-Class opponent like you, we can collect more comprehensive data."
Hansen agreed to Genos's request without hesitation, then raised his hand and casually snapped his fingers.
The moment the order was given, war 1's massive crimson single eye suddenly lit up, and the nuclear fusion reactor in its chest began to operate at overload, emitting a captivating low roar, with visible waves of intense heat radiating from its body.
"Mr. King, it's up to you now."
"No problem."
Mr. King replied in a deep voice, and in his eyes, a dazzling pure white electric light seemed to flash and disappear.
His entire aura completely changed at this moment; the lazy otaku demeanor vanished without a trace, replaced by the confidence and authority of a gaming master.
As Hansen retreated to clear the combat area, Genos instantly entered battle mode.
"The Cyborg of Justice, Genos! Here I come!"
Before his words finished, his figure had already transformed into a silver streak of lightning!
The thrusters on his legs and back spewed scorching orange-red flames, and with a speed exceeding the speed of sound, he delivered a powerful flying kick directly at the robot's head!
However, war 1's reaction speed completely exceeded his expectations!
Facing this astonishingly swift attack, the seemingly bulky robot merely shifted its body slightly to the left by half a step.
With incredible precision, it perfectly avoided the sharp edge of Genos's flying kick.
At the same time, the folded high-frequency battle-axe on its left arm suddenly sprang out with a soft "hum"!
Without any superfluous movements, it struck later but arrived first, drawing a deadly silver line that tore through the air, counter-slashing towards Genos's body at an extremely tricky angle!
Clang---!!!
Genos's pupils contracted sharply. He forcefully twisted his body in mid-air and barely blocked the fatal blow with his arm guards!
An extremely piercing metallic screech accompanied by a shower of hot sparks. A brutal force emanated from the battle-axe, sending him reeling back over a hundred meters!
Before he could stabilize himself in the air, an overwhelming storm of metal bullets came rushing towards him!
"Da da da da da da da----!"
The six-barrel Gatling gun on war 1's right arm had already begun to spin wildly, its muzzle spewing destructive tongues of fire!
The scorching chain of specialized tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds, under Mr. King's precise control, was not wasted in the slightest. Like eyes, they formed an impenetrable curtain of death, sealing off all possible escape routes for Genos!
"You won't succeed! Incinerate!"
In a moment of crisis, Genos roared, thrusting his palms forward and unleashing all the energy within his body without reservation!
A terrifying shockwave of flames erupted, like a roaring fire dragon, directly confronting that curtain of death!
Boom boom boom boom----!!!
