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

"No, you can't! Stop it!!!"

Patrick's eyes narrowed sharply as he screamed at the giant of light in the sky.

In the next instant, all of PLAN's most elite and core Coordinators in April City will become tombstones of the Cross of Light!

"Don't even think about it, how could there be such a good thing?"

Tsugumi's mocking voice accompanied his presence, appearing before everyone.

"Complete the completion, enter the world of the soul and enjoy a beautiful dream. Such a perfect dream is something you could have experienced immediately."

"But since you don't want it, then so be it—as the price for betraying me by half, Plant's Coordinators, as long as you remain a member of this City of Sin, I will refuse you entry into the perfect paradise."

Patrick looked at Tsurugi in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation.

He should be happy that the 'Integrity' wasn't activated within the Plant!

After all, the so-called Instrumentality Project would directly destroy everything that PLAN depends on for survival, causing the Coordinators to lose all their plans.

Their souls are still here, their bodies are still here, everything about them is here.

But why did Patrick feel as if a huge, unfillable, painful void was missing from his heart?

At this moment, all the defense forces mobilized in April City aimed at the sixty-meter-tall giant and began to unleash their firepower.

However, no matter what kind of attack it was, it was all blocked by that invisible barrier that rippled with hexagonal light.

"But how can one know the truth that this world is nothing but a purgatory if one has never seen the beauty of heaven?"

Tsurugi's voice carried a childlike mockery and malice as she spoke leisurely.

"Well then, have a good dream."

The next moment, an invisible spiritual wave spread out from the giant of light, instantly engulfing the entire colony, then the entire April City, and then all 120 of Plant's satellites.

At first, it was a warm, gentle sensation, like being immersed in amniotic fluid.

From the moment of birth, the mother's irresistible warmth and love instantly overwhelmed the will of almost everyone.

Feeling drowsy and unable to resist the warmth, I finally drifted off to sleep, feeling peaceful and at ease.

All the adjusters had a beautiful dream.

It is a perfect dream, but everyone's definition of perfection is different. It may be warm family affection, passionate love, burning power, or some other beautiful dream that is unknown to others.

But in any case, they all represent a kind of perfection that is unknown to others and that reality can never touch or make up for.

The dream lasted only a moment, but in the realm of thought, it felt like a whole year had passed.

The dream is over

The white giant departed with a mocking laugh, leaving behind only mortals who, upon waking from their dream, were filled with sorrow and pain.

“You are destined to be on the edge of hell, spending long years in regret of gazing at heaven but not being able to reach it.”

Tsurugi left with a casual remark, but without a doubt, those words, that encounter, and everything she witnessed would become the most piercing thorn in the hearts of these self-proclaimed elites and superior beings.

Patrick, kneeling on the ground, trembled. He could vaguely see that the future he was trying to create for the Coordinators might collapse from this moment on!

Of course, he wasn't entirely without hope. As the leader of the military, as long as he could continue to lead PLAN to victory, and as long as he could defeat Naturals to prove his superiority, that would be enough.

Unfortunately, Tsurugi gave him absolutely no hope.

Moon, Earth Joint Space Force Commander-in-Chief Ptolemy

At that moment, Rear Admiral Louis Halbarton, commander-in-chief of the nearby Earth Eighth Fleet, was receiving the Archangel crew who had finally returned. However, just as he was listening to Captain Maru's report, his adjutant rushed in.

"Major General, the orbit...on the orbit—there's a new moon!!!"

715. Death Stranding

War, war never changes

Asuka, sitting atop the Black Moon atop the near-divine EVA, looked down at the familiar yet unfamiliar Earth, and a thought naturally welled up in her mind.

Admittedly, Asuka's world is not a world where humans coexist in harmony, but because there is always a common enemy, the "Angels," basic harmony can still be maintained.

After all, a large part of the world has been transformed into 'pure lands' unsuitable for human habitation due to the impact. If they cannot unite as one, only destruction awaits them.

And now, the world that appears before Asuka is, in a sense, the normal world.

Wealth, power, fame—for various reasons, humanity has gone to war to kill each other, racking all its wisdom to devise a plan to exterminate its own kind.

But that's exactly how humans came out of the primitive era. After all, ever since humans emerged from the primitive era, the PVE content of this game called Earth has stopped being updated, and only PVP is available.

It can be said that 99% of the technology that mankind has developed so far has been accumulated through the study of PVP. In a sense, mutual combat is a necessity for promoting their progress.

That's why it's disgusting.

Asuka gently gripped the control lever in the cockpit, muttering softly.

In a sense, Asuka is no longer human. As an EVA pilot, especially after being given a partial human restoration by Tsugumi, her body has crossed the boundaries of humanity along with the EVA.

Therefore, the moral values ​​of the past are no longer applicable at this moment—the pursuit of the eternal world of the soul over the fleeting nature of reality may be the only truly correct answer.

As Tsugumi's apostle and the Crimson King's 'bride,' Asuka has fully understood Tsugumi's true nature.

Just as every mortal sings, the Crimson King hates human civilization, but not human beings themselves, only the cycle of creation, decay, existence, and emptiness.

Hatred means more than just destruction; it means putting them in a jar, depriving them of their freedom and the right to compete, letting them experience the consequences of good and evil, to feel the beauty and the pain, and after a thousand years of good fortune, to face a hundred years of trials of freedom.

And now, Dongjiang probably doesn't even bother to hate anymore—the opposite of love is not hate, they are synonyms. On the contrary, indifference and disregard are the opposite of love.

Perhaps Tsurugi has become numb and bored because he has saved the world too many times, or has seen too many of these nonsensical guys doing the same repetitive thing.

Asuka didn't want Tsugumi to continue like this, because she liked the humane god, not a truly stone-like, cold and ruthless judge who measured the world with absolute order and icy indifference.

Having completely figured things out and understood everything, Asuka's somewhat gloomy expression finally vanished, replaced by a bright and confident one.

If that's the case, she will do this job well, destroy this world's civilization of formation, decay, dwelling, and emptiness, send their souls to heaven, and finally select and shape a new world for them to enter!

I dedicate my loyalty to the Crimson King!

Without hesitation, Asuka controlled the Black Moon to plummet towards Earth!

At this moment, the Earth Alliance forces were in complete chaos.

Because what was happening before their eyes could not be explained by common sense; it was absurd, incomprehensible, and utter nonsense.

At that moment, Rear Admiral Halbarton, the highest-ranking commander of the Earth Alliance in the region, the head of the Eighth Fleet, and the driving force behind Project G, was stationed at Ptolemy, the headquarters of the Earth Alliance Space Force on the moon. He hurriedly ended his meeting with his student Maru and rushed over.

In fact, there is no need for any high-tech instruments to detect or observe, because at this moment, even people standing in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth, as long as they are not blind, can see that thing that is so close to the Earth that its origin can be easily identified with the naked eye.

"The moon, it's really... it's actually real?"

Admiral Halbarton straightened his hat, which had nearly fallen off his head, and looked at the moon before him—a near-perfect replica of the moon, except its color was jet black. He patted his face and murmured...

"We must log on immediately to confirm the situation!" the adjutant beside him said almost impatiently.

Whether it's a miraculous astronomical phenomenon, PLAN's technology, or even an alien conspiracy.

996 >>

He quickly ordered the Eighth Fleet to approach the suddenly appearing black moon while simultaneously sending out continuous communication requests.

When they get closer, they can use an optical camera that is not interfered with by the neutron jammer to capture images of the Black Moon.

The things on it made everyone gasp in shock!

"My God, what is that thing?!" an Atlantic Federation officer cried out in near terror.

This is because what stands on the surface of the Black Moon are countless, blood-soaked 'giants'!

They were headless, red, humanoid remains with slender limbs and visible humanoid skeletons, crystalline armor on their shoulders, and blood-red bodies.

These bizarre and terrifying humanoid remains almost covered the entire surface of the Black Moon, stretching from one end to the other, seemingly numbering in the tens of millions!

As Halbarton looked at the humanoid remains, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As a high-ranking member of the Earth Federation, even though he was ostracized due to his political stance, he still knew and had access to secrets that ordinary soldiers could never access.

Among them is the truth that the army of most of the Eurasian Federation and a large number of Zaft's ground troops, along with millions of civilians, were wiped out in Egypt!

In fact, this matter was not a completely concealed secret on Earth. After all, no matter how well the Earth Federation tried to block it, the scene that happened in Egypt was too grand to ignore.

Ironically, although this attack triggered a massive coalition of forces on Earth, it also caused some people in the blue universe to develop a sense of worship for the 'Giant of Light' who caused this disaster.

How could these people, who were themselves remnants of former religious groups, not be moved upon learning of such religious allusions and metaphors? They almost immediately broke away from the Blue Universe and began to promote and worship the other side.

They proclaim that the giant of light is a returned god, destined to unleash the teeth of judgment upon filthy humanity on Judgment Day!

While Halbarton loathed the Blue Universe, he held these religious figures in even higher esteem, and their fate was no better. The Blue Universe and the conglomerate behind it swiftly and decisively dismantled and wiped them out.

Although many of them escaped and secretly carried out religious propaganda activities, they ultimately could not gain much traction.

And to Halbarton, these blood-red humanoid figures standing on the surface of the black moon that suddenly appeared in lunar orbit looked so much like the giant of light.

"Prepare to land, take precautions."

Halbarton took a deep breath, quickly suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, and ordered his troops to begin to approach.

Soon, one Möbius ship after another left the mothership and approached the eerie black moon, but just as they drew near—

"Mayfly III calling Menelaus! Mayfly III calling Menelaus! I feel terrible."

"We heard that. Report directly to the lieutenant. How are you doing?"

"My body is so itchy, and it feels so warm all over, like I'm soaking in hot water, I..."

Communication was cut off, but what happened on the communication screen projected in front of Halbarton was an extremely horrifying scene.

The lieutenant's expression changed from strange to peaceful, and then to a relaxed and happy one, as if he had just had a beautiful dream.

In the end, his entire body instantly exploded into a ball of orange liquid and vanished within the Möbius.

Not just him, but everyone who tried to get close to the moon, no matter how heavy their space suits were, instantly turned into 'orange juice'.

If they had simply blown up their machines, it would have been understandable, but they killed their pilots in this incomprehensible, almost horror-movie-like way.

The bridge was silent; all the officers of the Earth Alliance were utterly bewildered by the bizarre reality they couldn't comprehend.

"What exactly is that thing?"

"Those are Failures of Infinity, the remnants of the impact, the products of human remains that failed to be purified in the Complete Instrumentality."
