What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

As for his own Noble Phantasm, it might be the best choice to deal with this machine.

"Let me be his opponent next. I don't need to defeat him, just stall him."

Odysseus had this confidence, confidence in the "Trojan Horse" he possessed.

"Divine Body Barrier Connected, Noble Phantasm Hangar Launch Multiple Protections Connected Simultaneously, Magic Power Increased, Attack in Annihilation Form—The Great Trojan Horse of the End!"

The next moment, directly above the Freedom Gundam, a silver-white "wooden horse" with limbs alone measuring fifty meters tall stood tall, striding through the air and emitting a mechanical roar.

"Troy horse? Did some team come up with this thing out of nowhere?"

As the wooden horse stood upright and its body transformed, Zhao Si couldn't help but complain that the sense of déjà vu was too strong.

Shadow Border successfully escaped the encirclement, and he should have retreated and run away, otherwise he would really be hit by the Luna Cannon later...

"But I really want to have a serious mecha battle like this for the first time."

What were we fighting before? Honkai Beasts, Herrschers, monster fleets, and some embarrassing god-like Servant.

This Kamishiro mecha is still a mecha, it's worth a try!

"Of course I will always be with you," Xilin said, as if she were nestled into Zhao Si's arms from a perspective unnoticed by others.

“I have no objection.” Janna chose to comply.

So, Zhao Si stubbornly chose to stay, and the Freedom Gundam folded its wings, heading towards the Trojan Horse, which was over a hundred meters tall:

"Come on! Zhao Si, Freedom Gundam, attack!"

Chapter 58: Let me see the performance of the Pan-Human History Mecha

Troia Ippos——

The "Wooden Horse" that appears after the release of the Noble Phantasm, True Name Release Summon, is actually a large mount clad in divine steel armor, resembling the Aegis blessing bestowed by the goddess Athena.

Now, this silver-white wooden horse has transformed into a giant-like annihilation form by standing upright.

"Let me see... the performance of the Pan-Human History machine!"

Odysseus's voice came from Troia Ippos. As he entered the cockpit to prepare for battle, the Troia Ippos, which was hovering in the air, quickly swooped down toward the Freedom Gundam. At the same time, he clenched his fists, spewed out blue and white flames from his elbows, and slammed them down!

"Whoosh-"

The Freedom Gundam turned and adjusted the backpack nozzles, dodging the five-meter-long fist of the Troia Ippos just before it slammed down. At the same time, the plasma beam cannons on both sides of the backpack, which had cooled down, re-deployed, and two red and white beams shot out from the cannons.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzz—"

"It's not working? Damn it!"

Even close-range bombardment of Troia Ippos couldn't penetrate her divine steel armor, which was even more outrageous than the PS armor.

"Your attacks have no effect on me!"

When Troia Ippos slapped the Freedom Gundam with her other hand, the latter immediately climbed vertically, leaving a clear trail of blue flames from its backpack nozzles. The Freedom Gundam itself broke the sound barrier, and a powerful sonic boom resounded through the sky.

Upon seeing this, Odysseus immediately controlled Troia Ippos to take off. At the same time, taking advantage of his enormous size, he swung his hands rapidly and, with the blessing of Aegis, extended blue lightsabers of magic power from his palms. The thirty-meter-long lightsabers slashed at the Freedom Gundam as if swatting away flies.

At first, the Freedom Gundam had to rely on its own mobility to dodge Troia Ippos's slashes, but Odysseus soon discovered that the Freedom Gundam was too lazy to even dodge, and just kept taking off, while Troia Ippos's lightsabers couldn't even touch it.

Its own mobile suit could not take off as fast as the opponent's. Even with all its thrusters activated, it was still getting further and further away from the Freedom Gundam, and even at its maximum speed, it could not catch up.

As a Lostbelt Servant, Odysseus's mana supply is enough to keep Troia Ippos running at full power for three hours without any problems, but the problem is that his own output is not enough to further enhance Troia Ippos.

"Is it about three times faster than Troia Ippos? It's really troublesome."

Seeing that Troia Ippos could only consume the exhaust fumes of the Freedom Gundam, Odysseus completely abandoned the idea of ​​engaging in a speed battle. As Troia Ippos took off in quick succession, he manipulated his chest armor to unfold to the sides, revealing the azure core reactor within, and the magic cannon began to condense—

"Charge my magic to the maximum, then unleash a wide-range attack! Now's the time! ... Hmm, the firepower I just unleashed has already cooled down in just one minute?!"

Troia Ippos, who was trying to unleash her Noble Phantasm to maximize its output, was once again covered by the full firepower of the Freedom Gundam that had taken off. The beams and bullets hit Troia Ippos's core chest, interfering with the magical energy source that had been gathered and completely disrupting Troia Ippos's output.

For this completely unfamiliar opponent, the information Odysseus could obtain was based solely on the opponent's combat records up to the present.

What Odysseus didn't expect was that the Freedom Gundam not only had high firepower but also high-speed cooling. Did the wings on the opponent's backpack have such a use?

"I thought it was just a decoration, I didn't expect it to be so useful."

"Freedom is more than just pretty!"

Both Odysseus and Zhao Si were shouting out loud in the public chat. Odysseus wasn't surprised by Zhao Si's slightly immature voice; after all, Olympus wasn't without young heroes.

He was simply curious about the other party's identity and origin. Apart from a record of flying from Astraea Island, there was no Spirit Origin reaction, which did not rule out the possibility that the other party had a skill like Block.

Troia Ippos retreated, increasing the distance between herself and the Freedom Gundam. At the same time, the Olympus fleet below launched an attack on the Freedom Gundam in the air. However, the Freedom Gundam had already taken evasive action before the attack arrived.

Zhao Si figured it out: the Olympian fleet had tactics, but no experience in anti-aircraft warfare. They probably relied on the Moon Goddess of the atmosphere to decide the outcome.

As for someone like Odysseus, he simply used this transformable wooden horse as a cannon, and after disrupting his attack rhythm, he would pull away and wait for an opportunity to strike.

In high-altitude firefights, the Freedom Gundam can use its high mobility to pull Troia Ippos away and deal damage, but as it is now, the Freedom Gundam's firepower cannot penetrate Troia Ippos's Godsteel armor, making it a complete waste of the enemy's firepower.

"The ingredients are unknown. Do I have to find some divine legacy to add some ingredients to Freedom? Otherwise, I really can't beat this thing."

Reflecting on this mecha battle that I thought would be exhilarating, it turned out to be a one-sided offensive by the Freedom Gundam so far, with the Troia Ippos only taking hits but not breaking through its defenses. There is an insurmountable gap between the two in terms of mobility and defense.

Therefore, the Freedom Gundam abandoned its engagement with Troia Ippos and instead swooped down towards the Olympus fleet on the sea.

Under the initial barrage of fire, Zhao Si only managed to take down six ships incidentally. But now it's different; he's specifically targeting the Olympian fleet.

"Lord Odysseus! That blue and white machine is charging towards us!"

A guard on a ship shouted, and then the protective magic shield was completely shattered under the full firepower of the Freedom Gundam. With the lock-on and continuous fire of the waist railgun, even the Atlantean guards who had been modified by the legacy of the Great God had to die with resentment under the physical bullets.

When the Freedom Gundam flies near the sea, it stirs up continuous columns of water and steam. Even if a ship attacks from a place where it cannot be seen by the head sensor, the Freedom Gundam can dodge it by turning around.

"boom--"

Ship after ship was shot down by the Freedom Gundam without any resistance. No one could leave a crater or scar on the machine. The PS armor's extremely high defense against physical attacks meant that Zhao Si didn't need to pay attention to the shells. He only needed to dodge the interwoven web of magic beams fired between the fleets.

Conversely, the Sirius beam rifle, after breaking through the fleet's magic shield, could sink a ship with a single shot, making it a rare and concise way to inflict damage.

"That despicable pan-human history!"

"I don't care if you're weird or not!"

Many Atlantis guards leaped high, trying to board the Freedom Gundam to cause damage, but they were shot down by the close-range defense machine guns on both sides of the Freedom Gundam's head while they were still in mid-air. Some were even blown into a bloody mist before they even had a chance to land in the water.

Surprisingly, Zhao Si felt little emotional when he saw these living soldiers being blown to pieces by his own eyes.

Is it because of Janna?

The memories of being hung on by the other party influenced each other, causing Zhao Si to feel insignificant even after he had blood on his hands.

"You're right, aren't you?"

There's a female ghost right next to me, so why did she specifically target me? Is it because I'm too old?

"Stealing cat."

"Pufferfish".

"That giant wooden horse is about to fire its magic cannon again; we need to find the remaining ships to provide cover."

A thought flashed through Zhao Si's mind. Without hesitation, he immediately piloted the Freedom Gundam, risking being targeted by concentrated fire, to fly towards the fleet's gathering point.

Considering this distance, it's no longer possible for the Freedom Gundam to fire beams and projectiles to interfere with Troia Ippos's magic cannon as it did before.

However, Zhao Si had another clever trick: to use the Olympian fleet as cover.

"Tsk, what a cunning fellow!"

Troia Ippos's magic cannon stopped once again, and instead swooped down to engage the Freedom Gundam in close combat.

Odysseus didn't care about the lives of the guards on the ship. There were plenty of people who could serve as reserve guards for Atlantis, but once Troia Ippos unleashed its magic cannon, it would destroy the remaining thirty-one ships along with their crew. These ships were far more important than the lives of the guards.

Moreover, Echidna, the Mother of Monsters, is still in the fleet. If this production line is lost, there won't be enough monster minions for Odysseus to command during the next siege of Chaldea.

Left with no other choice, Troia Ippos, who should have stayed away from the Freedom Gundam, took the initiative to step forward. However, she could not release her core magic cannon to avoid accidentally damaging the fleet if the Freedom Gundam dodged it.

No, we have to do something to get their attention, but after failing to break through Troia Ippos's armor, this machine doesn't even have the option to try again.

To get the other person's attention back, you have to start from somewhere else:

"Astraea Island... You actually got taken in by the goddess of justice and scales. Could you be her plaything and captive?"

Becoming the possession of the gods was a common occurrence in Olympus. Odysseus himself was blessed by Athena, and his armor and Troia Ippos were also made possible by Athena's blessing.

For the Greeks, becoming a concubine simply meant taking their intimacy to a new level.

Based on limited information, Odysseus deduced the source of the Freedom Gundam's power, ultimately pointing to its initial location: Astraea Island, and the young man who spent over six months on the island with Lady Justice.

This information was disclosed by the moon goddess Artemis to the combat troops. Six months ago, there was no trace of that boy's activities in Atlantis.

Therefore, the only possibility for this boy to obtain this machine is Astraea, who is on the same island as him.

Even if Astraea's powers couldn't accomplish such a thing, Odysseus could only deduce this much.

"By doing this, the goddess Astraea has directly violated the covenant between us. Artemis's planet-destroying cannon could also shatter Astraea Island."

The instant Odysseus finished broadcasting those words, he instantly felt an extremely powerful and furious mental force surge into his brain, threatening to shatter his spiritual foundation:

"you dare!"

"Zhao Si is no one's personal possession!"

Are those two voices?!

If it weren't for Athena's blessing as a buffer, Odysseus would have doubted whether he would have been completely crushed by this mental attack.

"How... is this possible? The source is... the pilot... inside the machine?"

With this single blow, Troia Ippos, who was still rushing and diving, disintegrated from the inside out, turning into pure magic and dissipating into Atlantis in the Age of Gods.
