The addition of Kreuzer is nothing more than an ironclad thing for He Inexplicable. However, such an ironclad matter also requires a lot of preliminary work. After all, Rau Lou Kreuzer is not so easy to believe in the existence of others. What it has in itself is almost a lifetime that others cannot have, or even copy.

Clones. This identity hangs over Kreuzer the moment he was born in this world, and it cannot be erased for the rest of his life. Even if Kreuzer had planned to destroy that cold castle.

What's more, during a conversation with Kreuzer, he learned that the last time He inexplicably infiltrated the librarian's headquarters with Aldesia and Aldesia on the other hand, Kreuzer happened to be taken by the leader to see the methods they claimed could cure him. However, that's it, after Kreuzer discovered Ho's inexplicable existence, everything went smoothly.

Kreuzer, who regarded the existence of clones as taboo, did not hesitate to sell the organization that was basically an ally to He Mozhi. This led to a series of things happening.

Regarding the result that he had been speculating about before, He could only sigh in the end, and he would not die if he did not act. Knowing that Kreuzer was a librarian born as a clone, he actually used this reverse scale to tease Kreuzer again.

"So, General Ho. What needs me to do now? Provide intelligence on the inside of ZAFT? Or do you activate the network of connections hidden within the ZAFT, why did the general control the ZAFT and pave the way? After letting go of his mentality, Kreuzer quickly put himself into the posture of positioning himself. So it seems.

He smiled inexplicably, raised his hand and waved his hand, and said, "Kreuzer, you go down and rest first!" Feel relieved! This tube of needles is enough for you to sustain you until I take you to a place where I can heal your physical defects. So, don't mess around with these unnecessary things. ”

Kreuzer's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something. Maybe He was inexplicably not moved by his words, and Kreuzer seemed to be a little unwilling. "Really? Doesn't General He want to master the power of a country? Now ZAFT is in a weak state, and it is when General He takes advantage of the weakness to take control of ZAFT, hasn't General He thought about it? ”

Suddenly, He inexplicably laughed instead of being angry, and let out a burst of laughter. "Hahahaha! Kreuzer, put away your tricks. To be honest, I can't tell you for some reason right now. However, I can assure you that when I fully display my strength in front of you, ZAFT, the Atlantic Federation, and even the East Asian Federation, which is now coming from behind, will not be my enemy in World War I. ”

Kreuzer listened silently, not in the slightest impressed by what He said inexplicably, nor did he question it. I saw that after he was silent for a long time, he finally nodded and answered: "Really?" I know. So, General Ho, let me wait and see. ”

"Trust me. You won't be disappointed. He inexplicably looked at the back of Kreuzer leaving, smiled and said.

At this time, outside the porthole.

The two fleets, divided into different factions, maintained relative speed, each sending a shuttle carrying diplomatic staff and dignitaries towards the third-party transport ship above the Junius 7. The signing ceremony of the peace talks officially began.

With the signing of the peace talks by these ambassadors of peace, representing the two powers, the year-long war finally came to an end.

From then on, what awaits countries will be a long period of recuperation from licking wounds.

-- Dividing line --

On the other side of the Junius 7, as the signing ceremony was completed, two warships that seemed to be incompatible with the two forces quietly left the space. Towards the Earth.

Looking at the picture on the screen of signing and exchanging peace talks, everyone finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

In this battle, in addition to the two major forces, the price they paid was also very huge.

First, the Freedom Gundam, which is the team's top combat power, loses both sides in the desperate battle against the Justice Gundam. Pilot Kira Yamato suffered burns all over his body, and his brain was severely damaged. According to Dr. Zisali's diagnosis and treatment, I am afraid that it will take a long period of recuperation to recover. After all, burns are treated, but brain injuries are difficult.

In addition, all members of the M1 heretical team aboard the Kusanagi were killed, and even the fate of Commander Cagalli was uncertain.

Her long pink hair fluttered slightly, and her angelic face turned to the right, looking at the tall woman and asking, "Aisha." How is Cagalli and Kira doing? ”

Aisha and Barterfield, who looked back at each other, shook their heads and said, "The situation is not very optimistic. According to Dr. Zisali, Kira's external trauma has been properly managed. However, due to the current rudimentary equipment, it is necessary to return to Orb for further confirmation. And Cagalli..."

Aisha frowned in distress, and after thinking for a while, she said helplessly, "I don't know if Cagalli is dead or alive. ”

"What?" Lux's brow furrowed, and she was a little puzzled by what Aisha had said.

Aisha shook her head, hesitated for a few moments, and finally invited the great god Dr. Zisali to explain.

No wonder Lux is so nervous about Cagalli's injury. Mainly because Cagalli's identity is important, and it is important to the next group of Lux's whereabouts. After Lux made the move of stealing the Freedom Gundam and driving away from the Eternity without permission, the PLANT side has already classified Lux and the others as traitors. Even now that the war is over and the Kleins are back in power, Lux and the others still can't return to PLANT.

This is the boundary. Although the Sara faction came to an end with the suicide of Patrick Sara and the defeat of the war, if they crossed the line, the chances of the Klein faction to make a comeback would be ruined.

For this reason, Lux chose Orb as a temporary residence for them and others. However, it was such a critical moment. Cagalli, who is at the heart of her future course of action, is uncertain. This made Lux anxious.

"Captain. I'll go to Kusanagi. Immediately, Lux no longer hesitated, and stood up directly.

"Yes. I'll arrange it right away. Barterfield nodded.

Soon after, a shuttle carrying Lux arrived on the Kusanagi, and she was greeted only by Director Erica and a few others.

In view of the current situation, the Kusanagi has fallen into a difficult situation due to the death and injury of a large number of personnel. Being able to send Professor Erica and others under such a manpower shortage is already the limit.

"I'm sorry for being so sluggish." That's what Professor Erica said to the first thing she said when she met Lux.

"Don't worry! After all, it's a special case now. Lux gave a gentle smile and comforted her, then turned the conversation straight back to the subject. Professor Erica, I wonder how Kira and Cagalli are doing? ”

Professor Erica, who was clear about Lux's intentions, didn't say too many polite words, nodded and said, "Kira's situation, I believe the Eternity has already explained it to you." The current situation is not bad. It's just Cagalli's situation, I really can't explain this to you. ”

As she spoke, Professor Erica looked embarrassed, shook her head, turned to the side, moved out of the way, and said, "Please come with me, Cagalli's situation, Miss Lux, please confirm it yourself." ”

Lux's gaze kept roaming back and forth over the faces of Professor Erica and the others, and from the solemn and sad faces, Lux seemed to feel that the matter was not as simple as whether or not the injury could be healed. Perhaps, things will be worse than Lux himself imagined.

Led by Professor Erica and the others, Lux soon made her way down the aisle to the other side of Gnaku. On the way, Lux saw that the Gnaku, which had been filled with heresies1, had become very empty at this time, as if it had lost its meaning to exist.

Everyone walked forward slowly, and as the distance from their destination shortened, Lux clearly felt the change in the aura on Erica and the others. Compared to the time when she was greeted before, it seemed to be even more sad.

"Why?" A hint of unease flashed through Lux's heart.

Soon, as everyone got out of the way, Lux saw the pile of scarred and tattered copper and iron.

No, it's more like a broken square-like object than a broken piece of metal. Lux's gaze kept on it, and when she saw a ladder placed in front of the pile of "broken copper", a bad premonition immediately appeared in her heart.

"Professor Erica, this, this is it..."

Professor Erica nodded, and she looked up at the pair of "Broken Metal" and said, "This is the cockpit of the Crimson Strike Gundam. If it weren't for the Aurora Society's ability to raise the level of the original Strike Gundam by a standard strength, I am afraid that you might not be able to see this cockpit by now. ”

"What ?!!" Lux was shocked. I saw that she was stunned, and hurriedly climbed the stairs, and suddenly looked through the big hole that was already very tattered.

"No!!"

At first glance, Lux was shocked by what he saw inside.

"This, this is Cagalli?!!"

Looking at the body in front of her, her limbs were twisted into shape, and Lux couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing.

"Yes. This is Cagalli Yura Ashar. Heir to the Asgha family. Professor Erica let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Actually, Cagalli's injuries look terrible right now. But our Orb medical skills are enough to get her back to where she was. And yet..."

"And yet..." Lux couldn't bear to continue watching Cagalli's tragedy, and turned to look back at Professor Erica.

"However, Cagalli's current system has devoured Cagalli."

"Devouring ?!!"

"That's right! According to Dr. Zisali's tests, Cagalli's consciousness may now be integrated with the Arya system. There may not be a cure. Or maybe there is. But before that. You must return to Orb right away to completely restore the Crimson Strike Gundam once again and reactivate the Arya Consciousness system. ”

Professor Erica took a deep breath and said, "Probably, this is the last resort, as if she were clutching at the last straw like a desperate man about to be drowned. ”
