Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

The physical confrontation continued, and the mental exchange did not stop either.

The new humans would transmit their thoughts, so when Haman was rejected by Camus again, she also learned of Eli's plan to settle scores with her after the war.

This was expected, because Harman was going to make a move against Artesia. Even if he didn't intend to harm her, it was still something Eli could not tolerate.

Harman understood this, and so he became even calmer as he endured Camus's anger.

Qubeley slowly retreated, and some Zeon soldiers on the AEUG's side also became restless, but that restlessness stopped when Char activated Delta.

In any case, these people initially gathered under the banner of the AEUG because of Char's influence and Deiken's call to action.

“Char, you have never supported me. Neither on Axis nor on the Earth Sphere.”

Looking at the golden Delta Gundam in front of him, which was completely different from the flamboyant red he remembered, Haman's words were filled with a touch of sadness.

"I don't want to deny everything about you, but I really can't see any future in you."

Char's descent into depravity because of the Lala clone is a mistake a man can make. But when Camus bursts out of the confinement room and grabs Char by the collar, shouting "Nothing will change if this continues" beside the sleeping Lala, Char realizes something.

Having avenged himself on the Zabi family, Char should have had the mission of fulfilling his father's dying wish and leading Zeon. However, Artesia, who took the initiative to accept this wish and became the leader of Zeon before him, took on the mission that Char should have fulfilled.

Char Aznable had no reason to fight in the world anymore, which is why he traveled between Axis and the Earth Sphere for the sake of the sleeping Lala, and why Char was saddened by the death of the Lala clone.

Camus was different. He was not an empty shell inheriting the will; his counterattack against the Titans stemmed from his own observations and experiences. Only someone like him had the will to change the world.

and so!
“Haman, our arrogance led to this outcome. Come back with me.”

Delta Gundam raised its beam rifle.

This move really made those from Zeon uneasy, and some even pleaded with Char for leniency via communications.

Even more so, they seem to be ready for battle, and have already separated themselves from those from the Federation and those from Ander Tek!
"stop."

Haman addressed the former Zeon soldiers who wanted to launch the first attack.

She couldn't win. No matter how confident Harman was in her abilities, she knew she was no match for the four people before her. Even with the help of her subordinates, she simply couldn't contend with them.

All the floating cannons flew back to Qubeley's side and then landed in the base on his shoulder. Haman indicated that he had given up resisting.

"Is that alright, Eli?"

"I'll have Camus take a look at you later."

At least it ended peacefully. Now, as long as the Sedan Gate is suppressed, at least the environment in the universe can be stabilized.

"Enemy attack!"

Almost simultaneously, the new humans present shouted out.

The two sides, who had just been in a standoff, suddenly returned to their previous close cooperation, instantly rejoining their original teams and scattering throughout the space.

The next instant, the walls inside the Sedan Gate suddenly shattered, and thick smoke and a large number of fragments filled the space, forcing the MS present to be distracted and dodge.

"This sense of presence..."

Eli frowned, then suddenly fired three shots into the thick smoke with his beam rifle. They missed.

"Something's wrong. Move everyone toward the exit."

Even though a gap had formed, the troops present still obeyed Eli's orders and retreated in the direction they had come from.

"Om-"

Suddenly, six beams of light shot toward the Gaplan Kai piloted by Eli. The interwoven beams formed a highly accurate barrage, and an average elite would probably not have been able to mount a decent defense against it!
Gaplan, however, flipped its thrust shields and retreated while its body tilted upwards, parallel to the beams, and surprisingly, the beams passed between its legs!
While Eli dodged, Amuro launched a counterattack, using his beam rifle and funnels to focus fire on the direction from which the beam was coming.

But it still missed.

"I can't feel it."

As Xia spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the smoke screen.

"Out!"

Using the most advanced Psycommu device available, Harman shouted and the floating cannons surrounding Qubeley opened fire again, but still received no feedback of hitting the target.

"Those are not human!"

Just as Eli was beginning to find it hard to believe, Camus's shout startled him.

Not human? ELS?

Although he quickly realized that the worldview was wrong, Eli also realized that the people fighting against them in the thick fog were not human.

Because in the premonitions of the new humans, it is impossible to detect the other party's whereabouts in advance by capturing their thoughts!
"brush--"

The roar of engines filled the air, and the shadows cast by the thick fog made everyone present freeze in their tracks.

It was a three-, no, six-plane disc-shaped flight formation that quickly dispersed as it approached, launching attacks on the three from different directions.

The MK-II flipped over and fired at one of the aircraft, but the other suddenly transformed into an MS, its thrusters flashing as it entered a trajectory completely opposite to its previous one.

This level of mobility surprised even Char and Eli, both pilots of transformable machines. It wasn't that it was impossible, but rather that the other party did it with such ease.

Under the pursuit of the beam, similar maneuvers could be performed continuously without any deformation of the movement itself.

If Eli makes a change of direction at this frequency, he will generate red-eye.

Could it be that they really aren't human?

The five mechs suddenly scattered, and in the next instant, the enemy burst out from the smoke screen. This finally allowed everyone present to see the mechs clearly.

"Pumpkin pie?"

The overly familiar appearance of the disc caused Eli to misjudge the situation, let alone the others present.

Eli quickly reviewed his memories but did not think that Yashima had a similar model.

While Eli was thinking, an "Ashima" had already transformed, and the tip of the gun it was holding was glowing orange, revealing itself to be a thermal saber!

The beam saber blocked the path of the heat blade's swing in advance. Amidst the scattering of high-heat particles, Eli looked at the machine with the single red eye in front of him through the screen.

The inorganic camera possessed a captivating quality. Although MS are machines, Eli sensed absolutely no human emotions in the machine before him.

In the flashing light, the markings on the opponent's shield made Eli suddenly realize something.

It was a tree-like diagram made up of three capital "T"s, and the unit it represented was the Titans Test Team. "Eli, this is the unit I was chasing before!"

Amuro also noticed this, and NT-X's mention of forcing the "Ashima" away further confirmed Eli's conjecture.

"is that a lie."

Eli's throat bobbed.

Under the Banner of the Titans

This is a manga that enjoys a high reputation among Gundam fans, and the main characters of the story are this Titans test unit.

The machines they tested were a series of machines designated with the number "TR". TR-1 to TR-5 correspond to the practical application of various new types of equipment, including interchangeable high-power beam weapons, variable-frame small carrier-based aircraft, single-unit long-range attack through the atmosphere, and stronghold suppression.

Even Eli, who knew little about this spin-off with its extensive mecha designs, knew the true target of this unit's service—TR-6 Silver Thunder.

The Silver Thunder mobile suit is positioned far above the Psycho Gundam, GP-03, and Lark. If we were to categorize this weapon, it would be a strategic weapon on par with the Solar System and the Colony Laser Cannon, a true machine capable of single-handedly turning the tide of battle.

"Everyone, get out of Sedan!"

Eli roared into the communication channel, having lost all desire to fight the "Ashima" before him. These machines were merely AI-controlled drones.

Its official name should be TR-6 Kihar II, and it was produced as a Silver Thunder Guardian.

Silver Thunder should have been completed at the end of the Grips campaign. Given the circumstances at the time, it was impossible for it to influence the course of the battle even if it were to be deployed, so the captain of the TTT force deliberately destroyed Woodwater, the core machine that was intended to be deployed.

But now, this machine has already appeared!
"Om-"

An excessively thick beam of light nearly filled the entire passage. If Eli hadn't given the order to retreat beforehand, the other pilots who had come in with him would probably have all perished here.

Even so, the Kihar IIs launched their attacks on Ond Tec and AEUG's mobile suits at the perfect moment when the beams went out.

Despite having only six units, they were able to perform pursuit maneuvers.

"No need to go! Leave it to them."

Eli spoke up to stop Amuro, who was trying to resolve the crisis for his subordinates.

"We still have opponents."

At the gates of Sedan, in this cosmic space, the smoke does not simply dissipate, thus obstructing the view.

After Eli said that, the new humans present suddenly realized that a different kind of oppressive feeling was gradually overflowing from the depths of the Gate of Sedan.

It was almost as if those Kihar IIs had finally bought enough time for a much larger being to awaken.

The beam of light that almost completely blocked out the passage was an attack launched by that being.

"coming soon!"

"Woo!"

Almost at the same time Eli issued the warning, several wired floating units emerged from the dense fog and immediately shot out beams of light in all directions.

This is a diffusion beam cannon!
The beam of light grazed the pristine white Qubeley, leaving an unsightly scar on its left shoulder. The mournful cry came from Haman.

Before the beam could cause further damage, the Delta Gundam raised its shield to block in front of the Qubeley.

"Haman, what's going on?"

It was just a beam of light that grazed his shoulder armor; how could Harman, given his personality, let out a cry of pain?
"Malice... I have a very bad feeling."

In the cockpit, Harman held her left shoulder, as if the beam of light had hit her directly, and felt a burning sensation on her left shoulder.

This is an illusion fed back to the pilot by the highly sensitive Psycommu device. Under certain conditions, this illusion can, in turn, affect the pilot's mental state.

Sweat beaded on Char's forehead as well. He too felt the malice emanating from the other side of the smokescreen.

"Just like the Psycho Gundam."

Despite never having fought a Psycho Gundam, Camus was able to confidently identify the enemy.

"No...it even feels a lot like Lala."

Amuro also looked solemnly through the smoke.

"Lala?"

Char, having extracted the keywords, could not sense any similar aura and could only ask in confusion.

"Strictly speaking, she's more like that Xinz. But that person is—"

One of the essential abilities of the Newtypes is insight, which allowed Eli to perceive that the huge shadow appearing in the smoke screen was piloted by a clone, just like Hinz.

But who is the object being cloned?
Eli felt a sense of familiarity with the other person's aura, but upon closer examination, he couldn't quite place who it referred to.

"Appeared!"

Once again, countless missiles pierced the smoke screen! These missiles could only cause some trouble for the five people. The four Gundams and Qubeleys maneuvered among the missiles, occasionally using beam rifles to take down a few missiles.

Then, two long rod-shaped objects broke out. For a moment, Amuro thought they were beam weapons, so he deliberately focused his fire on the side closest to him with his beam rifle and wire-controlled cannon.

Unsurprisingly, the beam of light was extinguished by an invisible barrier while it was still in mid-air.

"I think we need to back down..."

Eli recalled the size of the Silver Lightning, his Adam's apple bobbing. The size of the mobile suit was utterly inadequate compared to this enemy. The Silver Lightning, with its hundred-meter length even in cruise mode, far surpassed the size of the Psycho Gundam!

The five machines retreated voluntarily amidst the combined attack of the diffusion beam cannon and missiles, seemingly to make room for Silver Thunder's appearance.

And that's exactly what happened. Silver Thunder, in cruise mode, finally revealed its true form!

Just as everyone saw this scene clearly, the Bigwe Cannon II in the center slowly lit up. The oppressive feeling brought by this slowly charging weapon made the five people present immediately prepare to step forward to interfere, but suddenly five Kihar IIs attacked from behind and blocked their way, forming a V shape.

At least, the three elite forces behind them managed to shoot down one of them.

As Eli tried to find joy amidst the crisis, Amuro's furious voice echoed in his mind.

"Eli? How dare you!"

A strange sense of familiarity finally clicked through Eli's mind.

Eli realized he had another version of himself. (End of Chapter)
