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

I have to admit, Tsugumi really wants this warship!

Although she disliked the external fuel storage tanks with four pink balls on each side, although Tsugumi knew absolutely nothing about ships, although...

But compared to Gundam, he still prefers this big guy.

Big is good, more is beautiful!

Moreover, as a product of the Zeon material-stacking philosophy, the Gewagkin class, although an old relic from 0079, is still considered a formidable weapon even decades later.

In particular, its huge internal space, with a total length of 300 meters, can carry 24 mobile suits, 8 squads, or accommodate nearly 10,000 crew members.

Tsugumi wasn't interested in Gundam or anything like that, but he found this kind of big ship quite cool.

We must get our hands on it!

Tsuruga made a decision, so he slowed down and approached the Emperor Dekind.

He was met with a barrage of fire from the two Mega particle cannons and ten anti-aircraft cannons on the Dejin Emperor.

Tsuruga used the Force to predict the trajectory of the particle cannons and dodge them. Then, ignoring the machine guns, the roaring dark Force replaced magic, fueled by the resentment of the Loom people, continuously repairing the damage to her body.

In this way, he approached the Emperor Dejin step by step in the simplest, but also the most psychologically challenging, way.

Seemingly realizing that continuing the ugly struggle was pointless, the warship actually opened its hatch to welcome Tsurugi in.

Very polite!

But I'm still going to kill you all.

Tsurugi, shrouded in the resentment and curses of countless Rum people, entered the hangar, opened the hatch, and slowly descended, surrounded by a group of hostile Zeon soldiers.

"Disarm yourselves immediately! His Majesty the Prince wishes to see you!!!"

A reckless soldier stepped forward to capture Dongjiang, but before he could get close, he was strangled to death.

Tsugumi watched them collapse one by one, clutching their throats. Through the heavy breathing coming from behind their masks, she could still sense the mockery in their voices.

The remaining Zeon soldiers dared not move, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at him. Soon, an officer in a Zeon uniform with gilded lace trim walked out from the separated Zeon troops, his expression serious and meticulous.

"Please follow me, Your Excellency. Prince Dejin requests your presence!"

Tsugumi shrugged and followed, marveling at the warship's luxurious decor and superfluous accessories along the way.

"How should I address you, sir?" the officer asked, seemingly intending to elicit a preamble.

"Darth Vader, Doom Slayer, Pennywise, the Eater of Worlds—I have many, many names."

"...Then I'll call you Lord Vida."

"This warship is the culmination of our nation's latest technologies. You seem quite interested in it, sir?" the officer said with a hint of pride.

"I'm quite interested, after all, it will soon be my trophy!" Tsugumi stroked her chin and praised.

"Although these decorations are useless, I don't dislike the idea of ​​giving equipment skins!"

Tsurugi's overly blunt words left the officer speechless. After a moment of silence, he still couldn't tolerate it and retorted.

"Your words are extremely rude!"

Tsurugi tilted her head, looked at him with a strange expression, and smiled.

"What is etiquette? Does it refer to the kind of etiquette you have when you just slaughtered billions of universe inhabitants and then casually throw a party in this luxurious ship?"

"I..." The officer's expression changed, as if he was about to prepare a rebuttal.

But I didn't want to hear a single word of Tsurugi's twisted logic.

He pointed a finger, and the next moment his soul was extracted, while his body howled in extreme pain as it tore off its own head.

"Hehehehe, this is what you call courtesy to militaristic scum."

Dongjiang watched the bloody scene with a gleeful laugh, then looked up at the hidden surveillance camera. Through it, he saw Prince Dejin, who had tried to show off but was now terrified and pale. He tossed the severed head up and down in his hand, and said with pleasure...

"Have you peed?"

Did you pray to God?

"Are you mentally prepared to tremble in the corner of the room, begging for mercy?"

Changing styles doesn't change anything, it's still all about killing! : 127. What exactly is a new generation?

"Your Majesty, please move to the lifeboat immediately and evacuate from this place!!!"

"Yes! We'll hold this place to the death!"

"We will not allow this madman to harm you. Please leave this dangerous place immediately!!!"

Chaos reigned on the bridge of the Dejin the Great, with Zeon officers loyal to Dejin unanimously hoping for his immediate evacuation.

But seated on the red velvet throne, the aged prince, leaning on his cane, recovered from the shock of that fleeting glimpse, took a deep breath, and remained silent.

He simply raised his head, silently gazing at the portrait of Zeon Zum Deikun above him amidst the noise of the sofa pressing against his head.

"—Daiken, is he the next stage of human evolution you're talking about?"

Is that the kind of humanity you envision that will guide the future of humankind?

Putting aside his incredible power, the most important thing is his personality.

Such cruelty, such wantonness, such recklessness...

Perhaps personalities vary from person to person, but Dejin believes that if all new humans possess such power, it will surely be the end of the old humans.

Dejin closed his eyes

He didn't actually believe in Deakin's new human narrative.

Or rather, Dejin Sodo Zabi, who was once Deakin's closest comrade-in-arms, was a more pragmatic and experienced politician and ambitious man who also had practical control over the military and other matters.

He doesn't believe that just because humanity evolved into a so-called new kind of humanity after entering the universe, it has the ability and qualifications to become a group of people who rule the world.

Ultimately, those who rule the world are those who control more resources and possess more violence, not those who are so-called more fully evolved.

While Deakin possessed lofty ideals and considerable personal charisma, his ideas were ultimately too abstract and unrealistic...

Perhaps that's why he lost everything.

All the past events flashed through Dejin's mind in an instant. He took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Rayman, take Karma and leave this place. Don't go back to Zeon. Go find Dozru!"

Major Erich von Lehmann, the Duke's chief adjutant and chief bodyguard standing beside him, immediately saluted, walked towards Kalmar, and extended his hand to him.

"Lord Karma, please come with me."

"No way! Father, how can I run away from here at this time?"

Young Karma Zabi retorted vehemently, unable to accept running away from his father like a coward.

"Please let me stay; I want to face this with you!"

*Smack!*

Karma covered her face, staring blankly at her father; the young master, barely out of his teens, even had tears welling up in his eyes.

"Stop being so willful, Karma!!!" Dejin scolded sternly.

“You are the hope, the chance to survive! Gihren is too radical; if this continues, Zeon will be destroyed in his hands. I need you to find Dozle and tell him and Kycilia—we must expedite peace talks with the Federation!!!”

"Our Zeon victory is only temporary. If this continues, we will not have a good outcome! And I have a feeling... that neither we nor the Federation will end up well!"

"That new human who suddenly appeared might just be the ultimate winner!"

"Father......"

Dejin released his grip, took one last deep look at his most beloved youngest son, and whispered...

“Kalma, you are too indecisive. You are very much like your mother. Perhaps I should have made you a scholar instead of a soldier, but... you had no choice in being born into the Zabi family.”

"This is both your fortune and your misfortune. Live on, Karma, and if necessary, escape from all of this!"

Having said that, Deakin waved his hand, ignoring Kalma's struggles, and had Major Lehman quickly take him away.

He sat there, quietly waiting.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. Accompanied by increasingly shrill screams and chaos, the gates leading to the bridge were soon forcibly opened.

Tsurugi, looking like a firecracker, walked in with heavy steps, a trail of blood stretching to the horizon beneath her black cloak.

But none of this would surprise DeKin.

What made his eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, slightly narrow was the figure being dragged towards him by Tsurugi's other hand, his head being grabbed.

"Kalma!!!!"

"Ugh, killing so many people and then trying to whitewash their crimes and escape death with some excuse about father-son relationship... How disgusting."

As Tsuruga spoke, she tossed the struggling Karma at Dekin's feet, mockingly saying...

"I really dislike this kind of plot. It's not that we can't give animals romantic scenes, after all, it's normal for animals to have feelings! But we can't give them a few romantic scenes as if they're not wrong."

"Are you really going to lay a hand on such an immature child?"

Dejin helped Karma up and solemnly said...

"Can someone like this really call themselves a true new human being?!"

"So what do you think a true new human being would look like?"

Tsugumi raised her hand and used her Force to strangle several sergeants who were about to secretly fire at her, crushing their flesh and bones inch by inch amidst their screams of agony, savoring the moment.

"As Deakin's closest comrade-in-arms in the past, you must be able to give me a definite answer, right?"

Dejin: ......

He cannot, and is not capable of, giving an answer.

Ultimately, Deakin's "new human" theory is nothing more than a rhetoric to package his political leanings; you could even interpret Deakin's ideology as a form of alternative racism.

He proclaimed that humanity would undergo a new evolution after entering outer space, at which time a more superior new human would take on the responsibility of saving and leading humanity!

Deakin understood that his old friend might genuinely believe in the theory, but that didn't change the fact that it was essentially a disguised form of racism.

His three doctrines, "Side Nationalism," "New Humanity Theory," and "Earth Sanctuary Theory," declare that space colonies should be independent, free from Earth Federation control, and ultimately build a new order centered on the universe. Then, they would crush Earth's ruling power, send all Earthlings into space to undergo evolution, and allow Earth to be free from pollution and repair itself.
