Chapter Twenty-Five: The Man Who Walked to the Last Step
(Thanks to Bandaru for your tips and support)
After placing Orb on a new planet, Lyle no longer has any nostalgia for Earth, and since that group of people has chosen ELS, it is their own fate to evolve into a change-maker who has been freed from smartphones and social apps, or to have their bodies taken away by ELS.
But apparently not everyone is as open-minded as Lyle, and Cagalli's pillow makes Lyle agree to send the merchant ship loaded with the space jump device to Earth for a reconnaissance mission once a year, and the safety of the merchant ship is guaranteed by the Super Robot Force.
At first, the news that the merchant ship came back to the earthlings to understand each other, no longer fight among themselves, blend in with ELS, and work together to climb technology, made Cagalli doubt whether she was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and gradually let go of her worries. But without warning, this time the merchant ship brought the bad news that [the earthlings and ELS were massacred by the Ulugaru Empire], as well as Tiolia, who told everything for the earthlings who could no longer avenge their grievances.
"Her Royal Highness the princess who betrayed the motherland for the sake of justice...... I've seen a lot of fairy tales in the past few years, and I wouldn't be surprised if one day the people of Jetrati realized love and changed their minds and stopped fighting. "Lyle, who happened to be in retreat in his personal laboratory on the Galactic Alliance's capital star during the return of the merchant ship, was the last person on Explorer 1 to learn of the news.
"............" Tioria sat precariously, she had a good conversation with Cagalli, and she had a great affection for this group of Orbs who had branched off from the earthlings, but the man on the other side of the conference table was so notorious that he couldn't treat them equally.
"So, what are the plans of His Highness Theolia to find me? Isn't it because I'm trying to shoot a retracting cannon at the galaxy where the Ulugaru Empire is located? This is just a joke, the answer is obvious, Tioria just wants to overthrow the existing regime, put peace-loving people in power, and stop the endless hunting, "However, this matter has nothing to do with me, you better recognize this one thing." ”
Cagalli snapped up: "Hey, didn't you hear! The earth is destroyed! ”
"So what?" Unmoved, Lyle asked calmly to his wife, "I remember when I announced the Explorer 1 program, I used to say that if all mankind unites against Orb, I will kill everyone except Orb, what do you expect from me?" ”
“……!” Cagalli was speechless, she knew that Lyle had never been responsible for the innate identity of the 'descendants of the Orb Five', and the identity of 'earthling' had been disliked by him in the history of internal strife among earthlings.
Not to mention, it was the previous 'parting of the ways', some countries wanted to maintain their sovereignty and independence and wanted to escape the solar system, Lyle directly excluded them from the moving list, and in the end, it was the people of the country who overthrew the regime to solve the matter.
"Besides, as soon as the Ulugaru Empire found out about the relationship between the earth and me, they immediately terminated the clean-up operation and withdrew from the solar system. Lyle turned his gaze back to Theolia.
Theolia had never daydreamed that as soon as her big beauty spoke, Lyle would lick and wait for her to be sent like a dog', and Lyle's attitude was indeed unexpectedly cold, but it did not make her lose her sense of proportion: "Your Excellency Lyle, the Ulugaru Empire that has obtained the power of ELS will be more powerful and aggressive than before, and as they eliminate all ELS, the technology held by the race that was previously corrupted by ELS will also fall into their hands, and a monster will be born!" ”
"It's decided, let the Ulugaru Empire go unattended for a few years." Lyle clapped his hands happily.
“???” Theolia didn't expect her persuasion to be counterproductive.
"To be honest, I think the ELS is a greater potential threat than the Ulugaru Empire, and it's nice to have someone to help deal with them, and they all want to issue a 'Galactic Scavenger' badge to the Ulugaru Empire." Of course, like the Ulugaru Empire, ELS did not directly provoke Lyle and Orb, and Lyle had no idea of making a move.
Theolia said in a deep voice, "This is a tiger breeding. ”
"According to logical analysis, the technology of the civilization that will be destroyed by ELS is unlikely to pose a threat to my Caleps, but new sparks may burst out under the collision of different technology trees, and Her Royal Highness the princess's concern is not unreasonable." Lyle nodded, agreeing with the other party's concern, he was not arrogant enough to think that Calepse was the apex of weapons.
"If a war is waged for the sake of a possibility, there will be no peace in this galaxy - where have you heard that?" Lyle said something like Uzmi would normally say.
“…… Galactic League. "Due to the bad relationship between the two forces, Tiolia has not visited the Galactic Alliance, but she has heard the propaganda of the Galactic Alliance.
"I'm a citizen of the Galactic Alliance now, and I don't want to be expelled for something like this." Lyle looked up and thought about it, and reorganized the language that could better describe his thoughts, "Maybe someone will take holding the strongest super robot in the universe, pursuing immortality, establishing cosmic hegemony, including all kinds of beauties into the harem, and upholding justice to hoe the strong and help the weak as their life goals, but that's not my wish...... Your Highness Theolia, I have reached the last step of my life, and the rest of my life is just standing there and enjoying life, you have found the wrong person. ”
He is regarded as a savior on Orb Star, a Ming monarch on Explorer 1, and a genius scientist in the Galactic Alliance.
Run around safely and freely, experience the life of an alien race, and form a multi-racial team of maids.
Learn the top technology of the Galactic Alliance without restrictions, conduct your own research openly, and trust your research results to others for practical application.
- Lyle has no regrets in this life.
“…… I see. Theoria knew she would never be able to convince Lyle.
But what appeared in her heart was not only 'disappointment' and 'frustration', but also 'happiness' and 'relief'.
At the very least, she realized that the 'Dark Destroyer' was not an existence to be feared, but more like the 'Final Patronus' who only stood up when everything had developed to a stage of no return.
"Damn, I can't accept this! He doesn't care about me, even if he can only produce Gundam, I will stop the Ulugaru Empire. Cagalli once again took the case, nothing else, only momentum was enough.
However, this is not a super-system worldview that can solve all problems by relying on momentum.
"If someone follows you, you can also bear the pain of the death of soldiers, I will not stop you, as long as you are not stupid enough to drive the Gundam to the front line and die." Lyle could theoretically take back power at any time, turning Cagalli into a flat-headed commoner in the blink of an eye.
"Woo......!" Cagalli's momentum froze.
It is estimated that there are people who follow her, and everyone hates the Ulugaru Empire that destroyed their compatriots, but to fight the alien civilization with the existing Gundam is to send her to death, she is not Lyle, and there is no way to upgrade the Gundam to a fierce bird!
Lyle shrugged and looked at Theolia: "I can show you a clear way, negotiate with the top brass of the Galactic Alliance as your princess, and as long as they are willing to interfere in your internal affairs, I can put the super robot troops under my command under your command...... But it is not necessarily much easier to negotiate with them than on my side. ”
Cagalli, who felt that she had been tricked, said angrily: "What? Would it be nice to say no from the beginning? ”
"Unlike you, who have no brains, I have to consider my political stance and life pursuits." Lyle stood up and left the room. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
