In the command room, the image of Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe came again, making the decision to massacre the hostages, proving that their patience was running out.

"As long as there is no response to our requests, we will push down one person every thirty minutes, for the sake of the hostages, and I hope you will make a sincere decision!"

Unfortunately, in the face of this kind of coercion, the Britannia military has no way at all.

"Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, those barbarians!"

Because of the terrorists' massacre of citizens, Cornelia, who was resting in the room, had to take two of her capable subordinates to the command room to discuss countermeasures. On the way, even Cornelia's aide-de-camp Dalton (formerly her military teacher) couldn't help but feel a little headache about the terrorists' actions.

"How about negotiating to them and releasing only the women and children first?"

Guilford, who was following Cornelia and walking next to Dalton, suggested. As long as they can rescue His Highness Yuphimia, they don't have to worry about those citizens at all and attack the hotel.

"No, once the negotiations have been made, it is equivalent to affirming this method of the terrorists!"

Cornelia immediately refused.

"So stormy!"

Except for a bad idea, Gilford immediately dismissed it.

"Shouldn't that be a strategy after ensuring the safety of His Highness Yuphimia!"

Guildford has been following Cornelia for a long time, and he is very clear about the feelings of the two sisters, and if Cornelia still has weaknesses in this world, then Yuffie is definitely in first place.

"GOVERNOR, ZERO HE ......"

Just as the three of them were at the end of the passage, from a fork in the road behind them, an officer suddenly ran out and exclaimed. The name that appeared on his lips completely drew Cornelia's attention to them.

"There's a call from ZERO!"

Cornelia's eyes lit up, and she walked out of the battleship with Guildford and Dalton in a hurry.

————————————————————

At this time, out of boredom, Detohardt, who was fishing in the lake, got the news that their press department's camera car had been stolen.

"What, car number three was stolen! What is Kible doing? ”

"Well, he said he came to his senses and the car was gone!"

The person in charge of the No. 2 car replied with a wry smile, even he couldn't believe this explanation.

But Ditohart did not pursue it, but asked about the situation of car No. 3.

"And where is car number three now?"

"That, right in the middle of the army!"

Yes, the No. 3 camera car captured by Lelouch using GEASS is now filled with people from the organization he is about to establish, and the fan of the original red moon wants to be in his party. As the new leader, ZERO stood directly above the third camera car, facing off with the Britannia Army.

Squeak squeak!

The sound of three wheels sounded, and Cornelia personally led Guildford and Dalton. Driving Gloucester in front of the bridge and stopping camera car three, now loaded in front of ZERO and his men.

Lelouch looked at Cornelia with a smile on his lips.

Cornelia, I'll find a chance to give you a big gift. But the main target today is not you, you are more valuable alive.

There is jade in the hotel, so don't worry too much.

So, I'm the only one who will be the ultimate winner today!

"See you again! ZERO, hmph, are you a member of the Japanese Liberation Front? Or rather, I want to help them! For now, though, prioritize our position! ”

Opening the cockpit, Cornelia stood out of it, stared at ZERO on the other side, who hid his true face under the mask, and said dissatisfied.

Originally, because of Yuffie and the terrorists, Cornelia was very annoyed. Now that I saw that this famous ZERO also ran out to join in the fun, I naturally vented my dissatisfaction on this ZERO who killed Clovis.

"The revenge of my brother Clovis is here to avenge me!"

Click!

Cornelia pulled out her matching gun and aimed it at Lelouch.

Seeing the muzzle of the gun aimed at him, Lelouch under the mask chuckled and asked.

"Cornelia, what do you choose?"

“……”

Cornelia's face sank, and she had a bad feeling. Sure enough, in the next second, ZERO's voice from under the mask completely disrupted Cornelia's thoughts.

"Is it the dead Clovis, or the living Euphemia."

Lelouch smiled triumphantly under the mask, and his analysis was completely correct.

Well, that's true! The first condition has been met, and it hasn't changed at all, Cornelia. You've been doting on Euphemia all the time, that's why you didn't act, and emotions tied your hands and feet.

"I'm here to rescue Euphemia."

Lelouch's words hit Cornelia right in the heart.

"ZERO, I don't know what you're talking about!"

Cornelia had an angry look on her face, and her mouth was still dying.

"I'll save it for you, I can do it!"

Lelouch repeated it again in an affirmative tone.

“……”

After a long silence, Cornelia and Guildford and Dalton behind him moved out of the way to the hotel, and ordered the entire army to let go.

"Get out of the way, let ZERO go!"

The Miyoshi camera started again and drove slowly towards the hotel across the bridge.

It's just that when passing by Cornelia's landline, Lelouch and Cornelia who were passing by by mistakenly, their eyes collided with fierce sparks in the air.

Golden opportunity!

Lelouch said, reaching for his left eye under the mask, and pressed a small switch, revealing his eyes.

In the midst of that—

A marvelous imprint emerges.

Eyeball.

In the eyeballs.

As if eroded from within, it spread in Lelouch's otherwise clear pupils.

It was like an immortal bird that had been reborn from the ashes.

The glow from the depths of the left eye has an eerie red glow.

Then, Lelouch ordered quietly.

"After recognizing ZERO's true face as Lelouch, I will do my best to help him die."

Moment.

The world is turned upside down.

Everything in reality fades away with the wind, turning into a strange and enigmatic peace. Resolve all contradictions and reconstruct an ideal world that is like a two-way mirror that cannot be understood by all the consciousness of reality.

It is neither heaven nor hell. The sea is harder than diamonds, and the stars are darker than night. Right and wrong replace each other and entangle each other. Only some supreme and noble person is crying, and the chaos that has existed since birth is quietly soaking into the infinite universe.

- Yes.

Give Lelouch strength.

Only this once. Whoever it is will obey any orders given by Lelouch. The formula for destroying the world.

Its name is Geass.

The firebird flew through Lelouch's pupils into Cornelia's eyes.

Cornelia's eyes glistened with a faint red glow, but it quickly faded away.
