705. [Gundam SEED] A Madman's World in Idol Clothing

After seeing off everyone who had come to the meeting, Moses Elson returned to his study. Looking at Tsugumi, who had already completed the manual assembly of the psycho-frame Unicorn RGB model, he remained silent for a moment, then whispered...

"Messiah, what you just said wasn't entirely a joke, was it?"

"Of course, that's a prophecy~~~" Tsurugi said, toying with the glue in her hand, without turning her head.

"The destruction of Julius 7 is a recent event. What's today? Oh, December 25th, my birthday. So, in about a year and twenty days, you'll see a 'blood-stained Valentine's Day'."

These words, which sounded like a child's babbling, somehow made Moses, one of the highest-ranking members of the Plant, extremely uneasy.

"No, I have to tell Siegel and the others about this—"

"You said it, and then?" Tsurugi looked at him, a half-smile on her face.

“You have no evidence, no intelligence, and your power in the Supreme Council is not that great. Siegel Klein will not mobilize his already limited forces just because of your statement.”

"...There's always a way. If not, I'll go find Patrick!"

"No need, I'll take care of it myself," Tsugumi said calmly.

Moses stopped in his tracks, turned around, looked at Dongjiang with a complicated expression, and said softly.

"To this day, I still don't know where you come from, or what you really are..."

“My name is my answer, Moses.” Tsurugi looked at her father, whom she called her father in this world, and smiled.

"I am the savior (Messiah) who descended from heaven, destined to save this world."

Moses was silent. He thought he would never forget the first time he glimpsed what was before him.

"Lux, Messiah is not a normal-born Coordinator like you and Athrun."

Inside the Klein family mansion, Siegel solemnly handed Lux ​​a report, and Lux's eyes narrowed slightly as she read its contents.

"This—how could Uncle Moses do such a thing?"

"We Coordinators are a miracle born from biotechnology, but as the Messiah said, our excellence comes at a price, so we have been trying to find a way to solve this problem."

Siegel looked at the pristine white report in his hand, his expression incredibly complex.

“Moses came from Mendel’s colony, and his biotechnology is the strongest among us. He has always wanted to solve the reproductive problem of us Coordinators, and he even went so far as to experiment on his own children for this purpose.”

"One of these projects is in vitro culture, which uses a simulated uterus and artificial replication of L-shaped and fertilized eggs to achieve asexual human culture, while simultaneously performing perfect genetic adjustments within the simulated uterus."

These things alone wouldn't be enough to make Lux show a flustered expression.

But when she saw the name of the only successful acquaintance among the stacks of failed applications, she looked lost in thought.

“The Messiah is the only successful prototype; even now, Moses has been unable to replicate a second successful one,” Siegel said in a low voice.

“Since his birth, we have conducted many tests and experiments on him, and the results have been very normal. All his indicators are perfect and moderate. Whether he is on Earth or in outer space, no side effects or even cosmic rays and radiation can have any effect on him.”

"—But that's precisely the most abnormal part," Lux continued, picking up where her father left off.

“Either someone tampered with the test results every time, but that’s the least likely. Uncle Moses couldn’t have guided the tampering of our test results or Uncle Patrick’s. So the only possibility is that the Messiah can control his own bodily indicators?”

This is a possibility that sounds almost absurd and ridiculous, but if you set aside all the impossibilities, then whatever remains, however absurd, is the truth.

“Since the birth of the Messiah, Moses had been secretly diverting some funds to non-public projects.”

Siegel pulled out another document, his brow furrowed.

He didn't have any objection to Moses's behavior, which was tantamount to 'embezzlement'; after all, strictly speaking, he and Patrick had done quite a few similar things.

—Otherwise, why do you think Kira was able to get on the Freedom Gundam so easily? Leaving a legacy for his faction is perfectly normal.

"But after our people have been investigating for a long time, although we do not know what non-public projects Moses carried out, we can be sure that the Messiah has been involved in some of Moses' secret projects for a long time."

“Even—Lux, it’s incredible, but I think Messiah is the mastermind behind these projects.” He paused, looking at his daughter as he spoke.

Siegel was unwilling to believe that people born with knowledge truly existed in the world, and if they did, perhaps such people could no longer be simply called a new kind of human being.

986 >>

Perhaps, only a divine child or a prophet can be called such a being.

"Father, what do you need me to do?" The intelligent Lux understood her father's intention and asked softly.

“Lux, I’m sorry, I don’t want to extend the conflict of our generation to you. Athrun is a good kid, but Patrick and I are getting more and more apart, and I’m afraid that until the moment we can no longer cover up the conflict, he will follow his father’s will…”

Siegel took his daughter's hand, and said with some pain...

"So I won't let you do anything, Lux, but I still want to ask, what's your view on the Messiah?"

Lux thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

"He is a person who is consistent in word and deed."

Siegel stopped talking, sighed, and stroked his daughter's hair. He knew perfectly well what her innate talent was. It was this ability to see through people's hearts that made Lux so precocious at such a young age.

But—is it true that one's words and actions are consistent? Perhaps it is indeed a very good compliment, but it could also be a very bad trait.

Moses' children will become the rulers of the next era!

......

"No, I will become the King of Kings in this very era."

Inside the laboratory where she was born, Tsugumi looked at the empty culture tank containing the artificial womb and said softly...

Dongjiang was not Moses' child, or rather, his birth had absolutely no relation to any other person's genes.

On that day, Moses, feeling despair at all his failures, saw a throbbing embryo suddenly appear in a simulated womb that should have been empty.

Then, in just seven days, the embryo grew into a baby at an incredible speed.

Moses was horrified by the outcome, but even more curious about what it was, until the baby left the incubator on its own on the seventh day.

"In heaven and on earth, I am the only one who is supreme."

He pointed one finger to the sky and one finger to the earth, and after walking seven steps, his voice echoed in Moses' mind.

—He was definitely not human, Moses was 100% certain! But a monster? An alien? Or something else?

Moses was unaware that this coming son, whose real name was Tsurugi but whom he had named Messiah, had become the son of Moses Elson.

Tsurugi never concealed his goal; just like the name he gave himself, everything he did was for the purpose of 'saving the world'.

His method of salvation was too horrifying and unacceptable to Moses.

But Tsurugi wouldn't force anything; he simply showed Moses what the world was like now, and what it would become in the future.

Compared to the neighboring Gundam UC, although the world of SEED is often ridiculed as an idol drama, in terms of the density of war, it is second to none among all Gundam series!

From CE71 in the first part of the story to CE75 in the theatrical version, in a mere four years or so, the people of this world fought three extinction wars!

And each time, it was all aimed at everyone opposite TuTu, and even at the cost of his own life!

The UC universe next door is said to be a brutally realistic one, but the Zeon people at most throw garbage at Earth. The only time they aimed to exterminate humanity was when the Supreme Commander did it. On the other hand, all three wars here were aimed at Tutu.

In the first war, the Coordinators' Genesis bombarded Earth directly. In the second war, Julius 7 fell on Sydney at the beginning, and then Requiem directly chopped off PLAN's forehead.

As for the third theatrical battle against Tsugumi, I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem to be on a very large scale—though weapons of mass destruction still appeared.

All I can say is that the entire CE worldview, from the Coordinators to the human villains, is insane. It fully demonstrates that racial wars are sometimes more bloody and violent than struggles for ideology and power. What's even more terrifying is the speed at which humanity is climbing the technology tree in this world!

Although everyone criticizes the numerous advanced technologies of the One Year War in the UC era, at least the subsequent development was measured in years, while in CE—it's measured in months.

At the beginning of the story, the Guda that was taken from Orb by PLAN was taken into the hands of the Coordinators. Within a month, the technology was completely cracked. Then, the Freedom, Justice and Divine Will three machines equipped with anti-neutron jammers began to be built. In less than a month, two finished products were produced!

Then, in CE71, it was still the beginning of experimental technology. It fell into the hands of Kira, a super programmer and green-skinned scientist. With the help of the PLAN research team, they achieved miniaturization and mounted it on the Freedom Gundam in just four years!

Yes, the technology that could wipe out an entire space fleet with a single shot was integrated into a single mobile suit in just four years.

Moreover, Kira didn't do any work in this area for at least three out of those four years. Considering his lazy nature, he probably didn't actually work for more than six months at most.

986>>>>

Therefore, Tsuruge has no confidence in the peaceful ending achieved by the original group. This is not a matter of interest groups or corruption, but rather a matter of who knows if a super green-skinned madman might suddenly emerge from these two groups of extraordinary people.

What else is there to say? Tsurugi is here to be a savior, not a babysitter!

Since a peaceful outcome cannot be achieved through normal methods, then let's complete all of them!

In this world, Tsugumi descends as a Holy Son, thus losing the power of the other panels—but he can still use the technology in his mind, the stored resources, and—the newly acquired miracles.

The technology he chose was the Human Instrumentality Project from the EVA universe.

A technology that artificially creates an anti-AT field to extract and absorb human souls, sending them into an anti-universe within the realm of consciousness.

Of course, Tsuruga's Instrumentality Project wasn't like Seele's dogs and donkeys, which aimed to become gods. Instead, she planned to absorb them all into her soul space for about a hundred years, rewarding or punishing them as appropriate, and then throwing them back to Earth, which Tsuruga had modified, so they could live a good life as 'living decorations'!

Simple and straightforward, but highly efficient.

He spent over a decade developing his skills, all for the purpose of quickly completing the true ending of the world-saving game within a year.

“Essentially, I’ve never believed in humanity’s self-correcting abilities,” Tsugumi said calmly, stroking the culture tank where she was born.

“I am different from Jesus. He believed that human nature would find its own way, as long as they are guided toward the boundary of good. But I will not. I do not believe that human nature is inherently good, nor do I think that human nature is inherently evil. I think human nature is chaotic, and I abhor chaos.”

He slowly clenched his fist. Although his body was still that of a teenager, one could see the invisible power contained within it.

"I will put all of humanity into my glass bottle, just as I have done countless times before."

"No difference, no exception. I will promise them a thousand years of Eden, and after that, a thousand years of freedom."

"If it is to continue the sublime, then continue; if it cannot be continued, then do it again—I have endless time to play with them slowly."

He stopped, looked at the two people behind him, and smiled.

"What do you two think, Kruse and Gilbert?"

706. [Gundam SEED] Angel Descends on Julius

Rau Lou Kruse is a reborn individual—or rather, this is his second time experiencing a familiar life.

In his previous life, he was summoned by a 'god' to another seemingly similar but still chaotic world where humanity's habits remained unchanged, where he enthusiastically advanced his plan to destroy the world.

Then he failed, was directly defeated by the unreasonable deus ex machina, and was thrown back into his original world.

Thanks to him, Kruse was forced to relive the days of living under that narcissistic man once again.
