"Welcome back!"

As this huge set of Chinese characters lit up in the void, Phoenix Gundam also slowly flew out of the body of the Raid Fortress NT-0.

After flying some distance, Phoenix Gundam suddenly turned around and faced the Raid Fortress NT-0, as if staring at his comrades, who had been fighting together not long ago, but had now consumed all their life force and gradually lost them, silently seeing them off.

"I'm very lucky." After the program that had been forcibly maintaining the operation of the Raid Fortress NT-0 was stopped through the data link, one after another, small cracks like spider webs appeared densely on the golden body of the Raid Fortress NT-0, and quickly spread to the Raid Fortress at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems that it is very likely that it is caused by the adverse effects of the previous extreme explosion.

"Probably there was a problem with the harmony." Slowly, he said why. "Although the little girl thought a lot and made a lot of arrangements, the sub-light battle is indeed the limit of what the current assault fortress can do. Add to that the final quantum leap, and the Assault Fortress that has done its best to escape the effects of the Black Hole Bomb, has exhausted its potential. ”

"Well, yes!" He was inexplicably silent for a while, raised his right hand, stared at the powerful fortress that was gradually swallowed up by the cracks on the screen of Quan Zhoutian, and solemnly saluted: "GN Sun Furnace, Spirit Skeleton, the combat power of the fusion of the two has exceeded my imagination. However, it is not something that the current storming fortress can withstand. In any case, this time, it can be said that we are lucky. ”

"Anyway, we've done this mission." King Kong, who was standing on the right side of the driver's seat, smiled slightly. She raised her finger and pointed to the Chinese characters lit up in the void and continued: "Look! They came to pick us up. ”

He inexplicably withdrew his gaze and nodded. "Well, then, let's go back!"

It didn't take long for the Phoenix Gundam to slowly land on the MAP Phoenix amid countless lights that symbolized triumphal signals. At the same time, he also ushered in a welcoming group led by his two closest daughters.

All of a sudden, the sounds of congratulations, greetings, and the joyful cries of victory resounded in Gnaku.

From the mouths of Lin Mingmei and Kujou Lisa, it is known that since He inexplicably entered the faster-than-light flight with King Kong, the combined fleet led by the MACROSS Phoenix has been trying to contain and attack as much as possible in the space around Centauri A. Although it does not lead to the universe beta hidden inside Centauri A, it does contain the universe beta that is on the periphery of Centauri a.

In the months that followed, the Combined Fleet fought with the Universe Beta without using a mass killer weapon such as MDE, and even under the arrangement of Kujo Lisa, a small fleet composed of Earth humans from the MUV world also carried out many space operations. Overall, although the losses were slightly greater than the results of the Combined Fleet, since they were engaged in a space war for the first time, Kujou Risa did not treat them too harshly.

This happened until a month ago, perhaps even longer, when a sudden violent energy reaction from within Centauri A shook the entire Combined Fleet.

After a brief exchange of views between Lisa and Catherine, who had repeatedly confirmed the situation, they immediately gave the order to withdraw from a safe distance.

As a result, it was just as planned.

Just as the Combined Fleet reached a safe retreat point, a wave of destructive energy that instantly engulfed Centauri A erupted. The seemingly endless universe BETA was destroyed by the black hole that devoured everything along with Centauri.

In a flash

Frantic cheers of joy rang out from top to bottom of the combined fleet.

"Win!!"

In the detachment of the human beings of the MUV world, such a call is constantly resounding.

This haze that has been hanging over the head has been swept away, and with it, the return of the Phoenix Gundam has reached a new level.

"How's the situation on the other side of the Earth?" He inexplicably took off his pilot's uniform, changed into a relaxed civilian clothes, sat on the sofa, looked at Lin Mingmei and Kujou Lisa in front of him and asked.

After Lin Mingmei and Kujou Lisa glanced at each other, under Lin Mingmei's nod, Kujou Lisa took the lead in speaking: "The earth has begun to establish the second and third track elevators, and under the operation of the new integration, now the major countries on the earth have basically completed the integration of military and government, and are gradually advancing towards integration. ”

"New integration?" He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Let me guess." Did they come up with the united front? ”

Lisa Kujo nodded. "Well, they took the initiative to find us and make a request. I thought about it for a while, and then I gave the answer that they should arrange it themselves. For the rest, we won't interfere too much. ”

He closed his eyes inexplicably, thought for a while, and thought, "Hmm." That's fine. On the other side of the planet, we don't need to manage much. With the united front guys here, the earth here won't make much of a mess. What's more, judging from the current situation, our fleet may have to be stationed in this world for a long time. ”

"I think that way, too. The Witch had returned to Earth a month earlier, but she seemed to have some urgent matters to attend to, so she left a message. I've transferred the message to your personal terminal. With that, Lisa Kujou looked at Lin Akemi.

Lin Mingmei nodded and took over the topic.

"Inexplicably. Thanks to Giarolo's efforts, we have installed the FLOD force field device near the Earth's equator and successfully activated it. Not only that, but we have also established three space cities on the dark planet. There, too, there is a FLOD force field device. ”

"Dark Planet?" He was inexplicably stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that when I felt that a few days had passed, you had already done so many things in the solar system. This made me seem like I had nothing to do next. ”

He paused inexplicably, looked at Lin Mingmei's delicate face and asked, "The solar system should have been covered by the FLOD force field now, right?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Mingmei smiled and raised her right hand to gestur. "Although the force field has indeed risen, it still needs to maintain a FLOD activation factor for a period of time for the device to continue to operate on its own. Now, Miyun and Valkyrie remain in the solar system to provide the FLOD activity factor for the force field device. ”

"Really? I know. He stretched out inexplicably, showing a little tiredness. Then, before we return to the solar system to deal with things, maybe we can catch up on it. ”

Lin Mingmei and Kujou Lisa were stunned, and suddenly a red glow flew up.

On the other side, Maki-e, who had heard that Phoenix Gundam had returned, accompanied by Kirishima who kept the stuffy bear doll, came to Ganaku and looked at King Kong with tears in his eyes.

"Go ahead! Your work is right in the back. King Kong clasped his hands to his chest and said lukewarmly. The Admiral said that the storming of the fortress had done its best this time. He's a good boy. ”

"Really?" Maki-e of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly stopped, nodded, and walked towards the remains of the stormed fortress that had been piled up.

Time flies.

Even though He inexplicably the current time was extremely inconsistent with the current Earth time, he still felt that he had gradually synchronized with the Earth time again. The sense of staggered time was also fading rapidly.

The most obvious change is the person who stood silently at the desk, not noisy or noisy, silently watching He inexplicably deal with the affairs accumulated in the past six months.

He sighed inexplicably, put down the pen casually, raised his head to look at the man, and said with a wry smile: "Kreuzer, this is not like your usual one?" Say something when you have something. ”

It turned out that the figure standing at the desk was Kreuzer himself.

After He inexplicably spoke, Kreuzer's expression as hard as a stone sculpture gradually softened.

"I'm sorry. Legionnaire. The subordinates just have something to trouble you. Kreuzer said without humility or arrogance.

however

As soon as Kreuzer spoke, He inexplicably knew what he wanted to say and what he wanted to get.

Without him,

In this moment when the staggered time gradually returned to normal, He inexplicably also understood some changes. Kreuzer was one of those changes, which suddenly became different.

he

Kreuzer was worried about something.

There aren't many things that can make this man who once almost destroyed the world worry.

That is the thunder that remained in the world of Gundam SEED, and this is also the promise that He inexplicably made in the first place.

"Are you worried about Ray?" He inexplicably raised his right hand and motioned for Kreuzer to go to the side of the sofa and sit down.

"Hmm." Kreuzer nodded, his face looking a little worried. "I wasn't so eager to return to my world until you took that mission, Legion Commander. But after witnessing the serious staggering of the time of the Legion Commander and the time of the Earth, I began to worry about whether my time had shifted like Thunder. ”

"Are you afraid that Ray has died because of the problem of genetic collapse?" He inexplicably asked this crucial question.

Kreuzer nodded, acknowledging the idea.

He smiled inexplicably, waved his hand confidently, and said, "Don't worry." While this mission did throw my time apart, for Ray, we were just a few years away. ”

After thinking about it, He inexplicably remembered the message left by the witch.

In the message, the witch mentions the future direction of this open world. As inexplicably expected, his fleet did want to stay in this universe to provide defense for the solar system. As for the task of attacking other galaxies, and even the entire galaxy, He can inexplicably decide whether to take the initiative to attack or not, or he can send invitations to other legions through Veros to let them enter this world and assist the Qin legion in cleaning up the galaxy by accepting the task. Of course, the reward was not the responsibility of the Qin legion, but by Veros.

What's more, at the beginning, Veros promised that the solar system, which was a transit station, would provide a massive amount of income for the Qin army in the coming decades.

As a result, according to Lisa's plan, the orbital satellite station that was originally used to provide ports for other legions was changed to a dark planet outside the solar system. The purpose of this is to separate the earth and the challenger to the greatest extent, otherwise the challenger will come into contact with the forces of the earth, so as to maintain the purity of the earth's civilization and move forward step by step.

To realize this plan, the Phoenix fleet really won't be able to make too many moves for a while. Well, Ho, who is used to being the shopkeeper, seems to have some time to deal with what Kreuzer is worried about.

"So be it! Now, Kreuzer, let's go get Ray out! ”
