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

Before each person appeared a pure and innocent boy, as innocent as an angel.

He looked at them, tilted his head, and said softly.

"Then let us merge into one again, cast aside the barriers of the heart, abandon the burdens of the body, go to the realm of the soul, and head to the throne of the perfect soul."

What are you even talking about?!

Incomprehensible words, countless angry questions, and attempts to capture the boy before him—none of this could stop him from continuing.

The boy looked at them, but his gaze held no love or hate, only simple indifference and a deep-seated, hidden annoyance.

Meanwhile, Asuka, who was in charge of replenishment at the mass production center, looked at Tsugumi and suddenly had an idea—

He may not be saving humanity out of love; perhaps he is saving them precisely because he is disgusted with or even hates the people of this world.

Things are different now, Tsugumi. The way she used to be with Asuka seems... different.

"Your lives will end here, 32,325,644 sons of Lilin, your souls will return to your mother, to Lilith's embrace."

He spread his arms and slowly flew into the sky, and at that moment, a magnificent symphony resounded in everyone's ears.

Freude schoner Gotterfunken (Joyful goddess, holy and beautiful) Tochter aus Elysium (Radiant light shines upon the earth)

?Wir betreten feuertrunen (We are filled with piety) Himmlische dein Heiligtum (We visit the temple of heaven)?

"This is...Ode to Joy?" Rommel, fleeing in disarray, looked up at the familiar language and song, his face filled with confusion and fear.

What are they trying to do? What are those things in the sky? What are they trying to do?!

The same emotions arise in everyone's mind, but they cannot understand them, cannot comprehend them, and have no idea what will happen next.

Then, they, the people of the entire Sinai Peninsula, witnessed that dazzling light.

One of the thirteen mass-produced EVAs raised the mass-produced Spear of Longinus in its hand and plunged it into the core of its chest without hesitation!

The spiraling, intertwined spear merged with the scarlet core, devouring them one by one like spreading tree roots.

The pale giant was covered in red tree roots, then transformed into a deep red 'fruit'.

Click!

The giant in the middle had its head deformed, opened its mouth, and bit the fruit to pieces!

In an instant, its body emitted a dazzling, fluorescent white light, and the people below, whether Coordinators or Naturals, instinctively gaped as they watched this scene.

The giant, entirely white, spread its arms, and two enormous white halos appeared behind it before it rose into the sky.

The white light, like a second sun, illuminated everything in the desert.

Alle Menschen werden Br u der (Your wings shine upon the world) Wo dein sanfter Fl u gel weilt (Under heaven, all are brothers)

Deine Zauber binden wieder (Your divine power merges and intertwines) Was die Mode streng geteilt (Eliminate all contradictions in the world)

What is that?!

At this moment, the Earth Alliance, Plant, Orb, and whatever else could see this scene, all stared in horror and disbelief at the white giant of light rising into the atmosphere.

The next moment, above his head, an endless vortex of black, red, and white intersected suddenly unfolded, instantly enveloping the entire Sinai Peninsula.

A magnificent song, a holy giant, and... a terrifying hell in the sky.

The three elements merged together, creating the most direct impact on the spirit and reason!

At this moment, science and reason are utterly shattered in the face of this surreal scene. Mortals—whether natural beings or adjusters—are all mortals.

Badfield stared blankly at the black vortex of souls, his gun suddenly falling from his hand, along with the orange-red primal soup that splattered from his clothes.

Endless shrieks, along with the millions of light cross tombstones rising from the earth, lifted souls into that black vortex.

On May 30, CE 70, the Eurasian Federation's First, Second, and Third Ground Forces, along with the entire army stationed in Egypt and local civilians, all disappeared.

Also missing were half of the ground troops that Zaft had sent to land.

Following this day, both sides tacitly agreed to a week-long ceasefire and simultaneously dispatched an investigation team to El Alamein.

710. The Garden of Eden and the Beginning of the Story

'Garden of Eden'

Gilbert Durandal stood on the soil of El Alamein, the site of his former battlefield, and at that moment, only one thought came to mind.

The land before me was a pale expanse, whether it was sand or oasis, city or military camp.

It was as if, in an instant, it had been bleached with an absolutely pure white color.

Breathing escaped from the heavy hazmat suit, and an impulse to touch this Eden compelled Durandal to remove his gloves and grab a handful of pale sand.

The rough particles have a very pure feel, but all he can feel is that grainy texture.

Then he took a few steps forward, and what appeared before him was a surging red ocean.

The Suez Canal—no, the entire Mediterranean and Red Sea—has become what it is today.

Like the red of Mother Earth's flowing blood, an endless expanse of crimson and...deathly silence.

He put his hand into the cold seawater, but when he pulled it out, he didn't smell the salty smell of seawater. Instead, it smelled like purified and filtered fresh water, without any taste.

"Doctor, please put on your protective suit..."

The Zaft soldier on guard nearby stepped forward to remind Durandal to put on his protective suit, but he waved his hand and said softly...

"It's alright. There are no biological viruses, nuclear radiation, or other infections here. Everything here... has been purified."

"In the entire Mediterranean, not even a single fish or shrimp can be found; all life has vanished, just like humans."

"The seawater has become sterile, like distilled water. Like the earth, all the plants here have died. Like the soil, it has become a blank space devoid of any life, or even any bacteria."

Durandal stood up, looked at the somewhat bewildered soldiers, then glanced at the Earth Alliance investigation team in the distance, who seemed to have been driven mad by the scene, and chuckled.

"So what is there for us to fear? Perhaps we are in the Garden of Eden of human legend."

"I don't want any religious terms. I want you to tell me, what exactly is that white giant?!"

In a secret meeting room in Washington, D.C., the capital of the Atlantic Federation, a blond man in a white suit slammed his fist on the table, pointing at the hellish satellite images on the screen and roaring...

"Are you kidding me! What is that? A new weapon for those celestial monsters? A new monster? A monster disguised as a religious deity to intimidate us?"

"Don't even think about it. We will never be fooled. It's not something sacred; it's just a trick played by the Coordinators!"

Murta Azrael roared in an almost outrageous tone, speaking erratically before the representatives of the LOGOS consortium, a giant corporate alliance that secretly controlled the Atlantic Federation.

This is because he is not only a member of LOGOS, but also the commander-in-chief of the Blue Universe. He is one of the most powerful people here, and—he is also a believer.

But you can tell from his surname—Azrael, the Angel of Death. With this surname, he naturally believes in the Almighty Lord.

But the white giant that appeared in the Egyptian sky was seriously challenging his faith from every angle.

He firmly believed that this was the work of the Coordinators, a vicious weapon and an attack on his beliefs. After all, he truly hated the Coordinators—although theoretically, as the leader of a large organization, he should be calm and composed in the eyes of ordinary people, the world is ultimately a makeshift organization.

"Calm down, Azrael. Whether this is a weapon of the Coordinators or not, it is a huge threat."

Lord Gibral, also a member of Logos and the vice leader of the Blue Universe, reassured the other party while glancing at the scientists present.

From high-energy physics to atomic energy, they are all top experts in their respective fields.

But they weren't interested in any of the theoretical or complex knowledge; they only wanted to know one thing—

"Can this weapon be replicated?"

These experts in the relevant fields looked at each other, then gave a relatively tactful answer.

Even if we ignore all the strange phenomena, deceiving ourselves into classifying the white giant and the others as collective hallucinations or some kind of poison gas, and focus solely on the weapon that destroyed the entire Egypt.

They could never manufacture such a weapon.

Because they don't even know the basic principles, let alone how practical it is, so how could they possibly replicate it? Besides, they don't even consider it a weapon at all.

"If this is a military technology, it only means one thing."

A scientist in the field of biology commented decisively.

991 >>

“Our enemy has grasped the secrets of the origin of life, and from another perspective, he is no different from ‘God’ to us.”

In that purified Garden of Eden, what was terrifying was not the disappearance of humans and animals, but the complete eradication of all bacteria and microorganisms.

Instead of using any harsh methods involving high temperatures, a beam of light swept across the area, and within a radius of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, not a single thing that could be considered life remained.

If this is a weapon of mass destruction, then without a doubt, it would be the most terrifying and vicious creation, surpassing all superweapons humanity has ever produced.

Because what he destroyed was no longer humanity and the things it created, but everything that could be classified as life.

"Perhaps... he belongs to a third party?" a member of Logos suggested.

"His attacks also targeted PLAN forces, so he is very likely not on the Coordinators' side either."

"But in any case, this must have been done by those monsters in the sky!"

Azrael spoke decisively, his face cold.

The very next day, the Earth Alliance publicly announced that the phenomenon that occurred in El Alamein was caused by the Coordinators using extermination weapons they had developed, and that it was a completely inhumane, heinous, and ugly act.

The Atlantic Federation, in particular, publicly condemned the PLANT forces as devils and monsters who "violated basic human morality," and repeatedly called for war against neutral nations such as Orb.

Plant was furious and retorted. It can be said that the half-month ceasefire maintained by tacit agreement did not calm them down, but instead made them more frantically throw themselves into the war.

Therefore, after the Nova Battle ended on July 12, large-scale military operations between the two sides finally decreased, and the PLANT side, which was freed up, immediately dispatched a fleet to Mendel.

However, after they passed through the dilapidated satellite graveyard, they found nothing.

An entire Mendelian colony vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed at all.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a pitch-black 'moon' had silently appeared above the lunar city of Copernicus.

......

It seems especially hot today.

Kira looked up at the artificial weather control device above him. It shouldn't be like this, but he felt that the temperature inside the colony was unusually high today.

Why don't I just skip school today and go home to relax?
