Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

"Okay, okay, let's change to someone else. Waaah—I really didn't expect I could even get him out of trouble."

Tsugumi summoned Lala, and they started scooping up souls from the parallel world of NT again, then tossing them into the body he had resurrected.

A moment later, a man with a stiff, puppet-like face sat up and, after a brief pause, successfully connected to the NT network.

After learning about the man's personality and thoughts, Hathaway and Sirocco became restless.

But Tsurugi was quite happy, and went forward to help him up, holding his hand and smiling.

"Welcome to our ranks, Captain Rau Le Creuset!"

Changing styles doesn't change anything, it's still all about killing! : 117. Contact with the Federation

Lau Lou Kreuzer

Clones, natural humans, new humans—the last label was something Tsugumi hadn't expected, but considering his oppressive presence in the original storyline, having multiple Newtype abilities as a clone wasn't too much of a stretch.

Tsugumi also found it interesting to be able to find characters from other Gundam universes, but perhaps these Gundam universes are actually on the same timeline as those described in "Life in a Flash"?

At certain intervals, if human technology fails to propel them out of Jupiter's orbit, the Mustache Gundam, hidden somewhere, will awaken and unleash the Moonlight Butterfly to send all of humanity back to the Stone Age or something...

Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore. As long as Dongjiang can use it and have some fun, that's enough.

Kruze comes from the Gundam SEED universe, a blockbuster work that, although criticized by many UC fans as an idol drama, genuinely saved the Gundam series.

There's no need to go into the specific background, but you just need to know that the CE universe is actually an even crazier place than the UC universe.

Although the UC is cruel, even anthropomorphic characters like Tang Daji are thinking about how to rule the world. The GQUUUUX world line even seems to be not much worse than the world line where the Federation won, and even seems to be better.

Ultimately, the UC universe is just a power struggle, while the CE universe is a real racial war—the Coordinators and Naturals both consider themselves the superior race and the inferior race or monsters of the other, so they are both determined to crush the other.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Genesis bombarded Earth is enough to demonstrate the madness of the Coordinator leaders in this bizarre worldview. And Kruze is the world's retribution created by this madness.

She was cloned by a powerful but narcissistic man, but due to Dr. Hibiki's shoddy workmanship and theft of funds, her telomeres shrunk, causing her to live forty years less than humans. She then took revenge by killing the man and went to Zaft. After discovering that she could not be cured, she decided to go completely insane and drag all of humanity down with her.

Anyway, Tsurugi felt that if he were in Tsurugi's shoes, he would have done the exact same thing. Since I was born enveloped in the malice of the world, I will give back more malice to the world.

Ultimately, it's just that I find it interesting and useful.

"Hmm... this is indeed an ending I never imagined."

Kruse looked at the three people in front of him and smiled slightly.

Compared to the resentful Sirocco and the guilty Hathaway, Kruze left without the slightest resentment.

He had achieved his goal before his death, and then he gave Kira Yamato, who harbored resentment, a good beating. His life was truly without regrets.

Although his plan to destroy the world eventually failed, Kruze certainly had his fun.

Now that he has been resurrected and arrived in another world, it is indeed a path he never imagined—but all in all, it's not bad, is it?

As for how he, Kruse, defines himself and what his plans are in this new world, well, that's a matter for later.

But at least now, he can clearly see that the person who resurrected him doesn't care at all about what he wants to do.

“Mr. Vida, he…”

“Call me Lord Vida!” Tsugumi emphasized solemnly.

"hehe....."

Kruse couldn't help but laugh out loud; in his world and in his era, Disney wasn't dead yet.

"Alright, I don't want to spout any grand theories. I only have two goals: kill Zeon, kill the Federation, kill them all!"

Tsugumi raised her finger and emphasized again.

"I'm not going to preach any grand principles or talk about human ideals. I'm doing this purely to make myself feel good, and your existence is just so I can enjoy myself without having to worry about any disgusting or troublesome things!"

"You can divide the power yourselves. Each of you will have one MS. Don't worry about me when we get to Loom. If you're still alive when I come back, keep going. If you're dead, well, that's your bad luck. Or, if you want to go out on your own, I won't interfere!"

His concise and to-the-point approach, devoid of any empty promises, left Hassawi completely bewildered.

After all, he had never dealt with an adult like this before, or rather, an adult who was like a child—even Xia would pretend to be childish, but the adult in front of him made no attempt to hide his childishness.

There's probably no one who can correct such a terrible adult.

After explaining all this, Tsurugi left directly, while the remaining three people stared at each other in silence.

"It seems we'll be comrades-in-arms for a while from now on."

Kruse smiled and extended his hand to them, with a playful expression.

Would you like to shake hands?

Sirocco narrowed his eyes slightly, then grasped Kruze's hand—he loathed terrorists like Kruze, but acknowledged Kruze's excellence and decisiveness.

Only Hassawi, who was relatively normal, did not act; he simply took a deep breath and said...

"I will try to stop you from doing those wrong things."

"Ha, what can you possibly do?" Sirocco said disdainfully.

There will always be a way!

Just as they seemed about to get into another argument, suddenly, a wailing alarm sounded from the bridge.

Immediately afterwards, Tsugumi's voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Test, test—ladies and gentlemen, there's a Federation ship not far ahead. It seems we're almost there."

......

"Sir, we have intercepted a Zeon-class cruiser belonging to the Muse, but the ship claims to be from Side 2."

Just as Vice Admiral Tiam was verifying the total number of ships and equipment, his adjutant approached, saluted, and reported...

Lieutenant General Tiam paused his writing, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

Can you confirm the other party's identity?

"They have already disembarked and disarmed, and their leader..." the adjutant hesitated, then continued tactfully.

"The leader who calls himself the new human desires to meet and communicate with you."

It's no wonder he had a strange expression; that performance from Side 2 was also highly controversial within the Federation Army.

Unlike the Zeon soldiers who knew it was real but denied it, the Earth Federation forces genuinely believed it was a Zeon propaganda strategy.

After all, putting everything else aside, from their standpoint, they can't utter politically incorrect nonsense like "new humans."

"I don't have time to see him right now. Let's leave him here. Our main target right now is the Zeon army."

Lieutenant General Tiam said this without even looking up.

In his eyes, Tsugumi was merely an opportunist from Side 2; perhaps capable, but in no way as important as the war against Zeon.

After all, for the Federation, as long as they win the Battle of Loum, they can control everything as before.

Little did Tianm know that the decision he made today would soon become a mistake he would deeply regret.

“Lord Vida, leave this to me. You... just stay here.”

These were the words that Sirocco repeatedly emphasized before he left.

He also instructed Hathaway and Kruse to hold Tsurugi back and prevent him from disembarking, no matter what!

To the Federation soldiers guarding the area, this appeared to be a display of loyalty to their superior's safety, but only Sirocco knew the truth—

If Dongjiang were to come into contact with these arrogant federal troops, things would definitely go wrong!

They were indeed going to take down the Zeon forces, but they couldn't afford to offend the Federation beforehand!

He knew that Dongjiang didn't care, but at least Sirocco wanted to try.

—To be able to cultivate such unwavering loyalty in Sirocco, Tsugumi is indeed quite capable.

What else could he say? Since Sirocco was being so sincere, Tsurugi had no intention of going against him.

After all, wasn't the reason he summoned these dead ghosts to deal with these disgusting messes?

So he went inside his Zaku and started tinkering with everything there.

emmmmmmm

I really have no talent for science.

I have absolutely no talent for driving.

Looking at the Zaku's complex panel and the various messy, complicated device names and devices labeled with a lot of technical terms, Tsurugi breathed a sigh of relief.

Studying? Study my ass!

It would be a miracle if I could understand this stuff. If I could, I wouldn't have had to beg my professor for a handout in my college calculus course.

Dongjiang lay slumped in the driver's seat, the Force pulsating with his breath, permeating and controlling everything about the Zaku.

There were many reasons why his last Zaku Stitches monster was destroyed, but energy was the biggest problem.

Although Tsugumi Kai's mobile suit was created purely through sheer brute force, its propulsion still relied on the ZAS-MI11 engine and the rice furnace inside.

How should I put it—

The output is far too weak.

If the damage caused by the Force Energy driven by Tsurugi is 1000, then the impact on the Zaku would only allow it to exert less than 600 power.

It wasn't that he wasn't capable, but rather that excessive driving force would cause the reactor to explode. Although this wouldn't have a significant impact on him, fighting in space purely with his physical body would be too tedious for him.

Why don't we just try blowing a horn?

Tsurugi switched to the Saint character card, looked at his miracle, thought for a moment, and then shook his head and switched back.

What he wants is war, to nourish his destructive power, to enhance his Force through the pain and death of the battlefield. And if all he thinks about is blowing the horn wherever he goes, what's the point of having other character cards?

However, since the power reactor has such a big problem, should I just give it a try...?

Tsugumi suddenly pulled out the Mind Cube he had obtained, just as he was about to put his bold idea into action.

"Open the hatch and get down now!"

The rough voices of Federation soldiers could be heard from outside the hatch.
