PS: Today’s update.

The update is a bit late recently. Damn, how could it become like this?

Volume 74: Chapter Miss Machine Soul reluctantly opened the cockpit

"It has already... flown away..."

Uzmi stood in the conference room of the mass accelerator, calmly looking at the brilliant green aurora in the sky.

Although he was somewhat curious about the narrator's ability to produce the aurora, he eventually decided to put this curiosity aside.

In the last moments of life, seeing the aurora on the battlefield, such a magnificent sight, should have been satisfying.

"This is Uzmi Nara Asghar, the current Prime Minister of Orb." Uzmi pressed a button in front of the microphone and turned on Orb's broadcasting system. At this time, all the remaining speakers were playing Uzmi's speech.

"Aub will neither join the battle nor allow others to invade. This is the philosophy we have always adhered to. Even if we give up everything we have now, this philosophy will not change."

"If the Akebono factory and the mass accelerator 'Hyuga' fall into your hands, it will inevitably bring more intense war to the world. This is something we cannot agree with or accept."

"Neither Orb nor this world can be manipulated at will by a few ambitious individuals."

Then, without hesitation, Uzumi pressed the red button in front of him.

On the track of the mass accelerator, a large number of explosions suddenly occurred, blowing the launch track into pieces.

Intense light erupted from the Dawn Society's factory and the mass accelerator terminal. High temperatures and shockwaves erupted suddenly, razing everything within range to the ground.

"Dad...dad!"

Even though she had anticipated this scene before Uzumi boarded the ship, tears still flowed from Cagalli's eyes when she saw the scene of the explosion of the Orb mainland captured by the satellite camera on the screen.

……

"Damn it..." Murtagh gnashed his teeth as he watched the massive explosion in Orb from the Earth fleet in Orb's waters. "They actually blew it up so decisively? That Uzumi guy tricked us..."

At the meeting, he vowed that he could definitely take over Orb's mass accelerator. Now, not only can he not get the mass accelerator "Hyuga" and the Akebono factory, but he also lost two enhanced humans and a new model of G, not to mention that the Earth Army lost a bunch of daggers.

Although the Earth Federation has now completely entered a wartime state and the lost daggers can be quickly rebuilt, the training of pilots and the manufacture of "S·B" components require time.

On the other side, on the warship of the Findersen Kingdom, Orphee's face was not looking good either.

As a test machine, the Black Knight not only failed to bring back the data alive, but was even trampled to death by a "semi-finished product". It can be said that not only did he fail to achieve his original purpose, but he was also slapped in the face.

However, Murtagh should be even more anxious than Aofei now. After all, Aofei also heard about his outrageous remarks at the meeting.

"... Wait and see how much wreckage of the Black Knight is left, pick them all up, and then evacuate." Orphee thought for a moment and decided to pick up the Black Knight. After all, there was some of his own technology in it, and he was reluctant to leave it to the Earth Army, especially the Blue Cosmos guys.

……

In space, the Archangel, Kusanagi, and Ame Murakumo, three battleships, have completed their assembly. However, Kusanagi and Ame Murakumo, as modular battleships launched separately, are still undergoing docking and assembly.

Now everyone's attention was no longer on the Kusanagi and Murakumo. Except for the people who maintained the docking and the people on guard, everyone was looking at the Archangel's hull and the gorgeous aurora behind it as it flew across the Kármán Line along with the Archangel.

As the narrative progresses, the Gundam loosens its grip on the Archangel, and the Aurora on the Archangel gradually dissipates, revealing its severely damaged exterior armor.

"The light...disappeared?" Looking at the dazzling aurora disappearing before her eyes, Milialia couldn't help rubbing her eyes.

"The narrator has stopped propulsion and is approaching the catapult deck!" Sai said, referring to the information displayed on the radar. "But... there's no response to Ross's communication!"

"Never mind, let the maintenance team prepare, open the catapult deck and let the narrator in!" Looking at the narrator in front of him, whose thrusters were completely non-functional, flying towards the catapult deck with a stream of light, Malu made a quick decision and decided to open the hatch of the catapult deck.

"The catapult deck has been opened, Narrator... So fast! The Narrator has entered the hangar!" Mirialia was stunned for a moment as she watched the Narrator return to the hangar smoothly with a stream of light.

"...The airspace nearby is safe. You should head to the hangar first, Captain." The radar observer turned his head and looked at the fidgeting Mariu, and smiled. "We'll watch from here. It's okay."

"Besides, we are also worried about Mr. Rhodes's condition."

In contrast, the people on the bridge only knew that the Narrative Gundam entered the hangar at an extremely fast speed. The people who were preparing in the hangar were watching with a look as if they had seen a ghost. The Narrative Gundam, with its thrusters completely inoperative, with a stream of emerald green light, bypassed the Assault that was being deployed, and drifted to a stop in their own hangar.

As the story progressed, the Gundam's psychic skeleton turned back to gray, and the "aurora" remaining in the hangar dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What the hell is this..." Diego, wearing a pilot's suit, stared at the Narrative Gundam parked motionless in the hangar, his eyes widened. "That color-changing thing on it is definitely not a PS armor!"

"I don't know, but my advice is, don't ask. Control your curiosity." Mu Piao, who had just finished docking the machine, walked over to Diego and patted his shoulder. "Everyone has their own secrets. The less you know, the safer you are."

"Besides, he just saved all of our lives."

"Ah... do you think I'm some inflexible guy? Don't underestimate my emotional intelligence!" Diego scratched his head. "I know what to do."

The maintenance team, which had been waiting for a long time, began to resupply the Narrative Gundam, but then a problem stood in their way. Several people in the maintenance team stood in front of the hatch and worried.

"What happened? What are you doing here?" Malu also came to the hangar with the ship's doctor, and saw the maintenance crew with worried looks on their faces at a glance.

"The hatch won't open!" A member of the maintenance team, swiping away on a tablet, had begun to sweat slightly. "We've activated the program, activated the external mechanical decompression, and even tried the emergency opening method, but the narrator's hatch still won't open!"

"Let me see!" Malu, who used to be a technical sergeant, reached out to take the tablet and anxiously looked through the various code data on it.

"No problem...how come?"

……

"Still not satisfied?"

In the dim cockpit, the driver's seat still kept the NTD turned on, allowing the unconscious Ross to lie comfortably on it.

As for Big Haro, who was on the fixed stand, his eyes were twinkling, as if he was talking to someone.

"But that's enough. If we don't open the hatch, something serious is going to happen."

Not enough... not enough... I want it to last a little longer...

In the dazzling space, a female figure stretched out her hand, as if touching Ross's face.

"However, Ross is in very poor condition now and must receive treatment." Big Harrow pointed out the fact that the Machine Soul was unwilling to face.

"If Ross doesn't receive treatment, you won't be able to accept the consequences."

"Once Ross dies, he will become something like a cosmic ghost, in a state similar to yours. Then you will no longer be able to maintain a connection with Ross."

The last few minutes...

"No, we can't delay even a minute." Big Harrow's attitude was very firm.

"Besides... Ross already knows about your existence, right?" Big Hello waved his wings above his head. "That idiot isn't one of those irresponsible guys. He'll never give up on you."

So happy...

"Open the door quickly if you're happy!" Daha Luo's tone was also a little impatient. "There's a long way to go. The first priority now is to save his life!"

Okay... I'll listen to you...

The simple female figure seemed to have accepted Haro's proposal. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she still controlled the machine to open the hatch.

"The hatch is open!" As the hatch opened, the maintenance crew members surrounding the hatch exclaimed.

"It's opened?!" Mariu, who had only read half of the code, was stunned for a moment, then looked at the cockpit of the Narrative Gundam.

As she looked over, Ross, wearing a pilot's suit, was slumped in his seat. No matter how noisy it was outside, he remained unresponsive.

"Rods!" Mariu threw the tablet in his hand to the maintenance crew member beside him and floated into the cockpit of the Narrative Gundam.

Reaching out to take off Ross's helmet and sniffing Ross's breath, Mariu's heart relaxed a little.

"Doctor! Come and help!"

A group of people clamored and finally carried Ross out of the cockpit and to the infirmary. Big Haro, who had jumped out of his cage at some point, was now skipping along behind the group.

"...Speaking of which, that person is your captain, right?" Diego, who had been observing for a long time, pointed at Mariu next to the stretcher and asked Mu, "What is her relationship with the pilot?"

"We're in a relationship, don't think about all this gossip." Mu reached out and patted Diego on the head.

"But there's nothing we can do now. Judging from your captain's attitude, I'm afraid we have to wait until the pilot wakes up before we can set sail." Diego rubbed the place where Mu had slapped him just now, muttering.

"Besides, that guy is the head of your Archangel's maintenance team, right? What is he doing?"

Mu looked in the direction Diego pointed and saw Madoc standing in front of the Narrative Gundam, muttering something in a daze.

"Yeah, maybe it's some kind of religious belief? I don't know when it started." Mu thought for a while, maybe it was when the Archangel returned to Orb from Alaska?

At this time, Madoc had no time to care about Mu and Diego's idle chat. He was devoutly reciting the prayer he had made.

You know, as the maintenance team leader, he gets to see the maintenance briefings while the suits are being prepared! The data just now showed that the Narrative Gundam's propellant ran out during the mass accelerator battle. In other words, the Narrative Gundam, despite being out of propellant, was still able to continuously use its jetpack for high maneuvers, even pushing the Archangel into space!

There must be an organic soul in this machine! Madoc was so sure of it.

"Praise the Omnissiah..."

PS: Today's update

The layout exploded once, and I can't hold it anymore

Volume 75: Chapter : I'm so stuck in this world that I want to die

Archangel, Infirmary

"Doctor, Ross's current condition is..."

Malu stood beside the unconscious Ross and asked the ship's doctor in a white coat.

"It seems that it is due to overuse of the brain and excessive fatigue. All you need to do is replenish some glucose and rest for a while." The ship's doctor looked at the data on the tablet and explained to Mariu.

"But... this is the first time I've seen such physical fitness..." The ship's doctor looked at Ross's physical data and scratched his head. "Compared to the data from the first time he entered the infirmary for treatment, Mr. Ross's physical strength has roughly doubled. Some of his data even surpasses that of an adjuster... Is this really something a natural person can achieve?"

"Improved physical strength?" Malu was curious about the doctor's conclusion and asked,

"Look, compared with the last time, these data can be said to be an all-round improvement, especially muscle strength and impact resistance, which are even higher than Kira." The doctor handed the information to Mariu and pointed out a few data.

"In short, if Mr. Ross's body continues to strengthen, it will bring about increases in strength, G-force resistance, endurance, and other stats necessary for combat. This will surely be good news for the upcoming battle."

"...I hope there are no side effects." Mariu didn't know whether Ross's condition was good or bad.

"It might be a good thing for the Captain in the early stages. After all, women always want their partners to be stronger." The doctor took back the tablet and stood up from his chair, ready to leave some alone time for Mariu. "But later on, I can't say for sure."

"Huh?" Malu was stunned when he heard the words of the ship's doctor.

But before Mariu could react, the ship's doctor smoothly walked out of the infirmary and closed the door.

The emergency repairs to the Archangel will take some time. The doctor, who had just been rescuing the wounded, just wanted to take a quick rest.

God knows if ZAFT will see the Archangel and attack later.

……

"The Archangel...it always looks battered after every battle..."

At the porthole of the Kusanagi, Erica frowned as she watched the Archangel, which was skillfully undergoing emergency repairs.

"The intensity of the battle is too high. Whether it's the Earth Army's automatic combat components or the ZAFT clone soldiers reported in the intelligence... both sides are engaged in an arms race. Even if we are just swept away, we have to abandon our homeland and head into space." Redonil frowned as he recalled the intelligence he had found recently.

"So, we must continue to implement Orb's beliefs. If we don't have strong beliefs, once we gain access to powerful military force, won't it be the same as the Earth Army attacking us?" Cagalli looked at the Archangel with a serious expression and her fists clenched tightly.

After being officially informed by Uzumi about Industrial No. 7 and the responsibilities on her shoulders, although still immature, Cagalli has already realized the burden on her shoulders.

After entering the universe through the mass accelerator and seeing the gorgeous aurora, Cagalli couldn't help but start thinking about the connection between belief and force.

"You don't have to push yourself so hard, Cagalli." Erica also noticed Cagalli's condition at this time and reminded her, "Prime Minister Uzumi has left you enough backup plans. As long as you have enough time, you can become someone like Prime Minister Uzumi."

"Time... time... what we lack most right now is time." Cagalli sighed. "How long can Industrial Seven be safe? How can we protect our citizens..."

"Cagalli, we can't be impatient now." Redonil patted Cagalli's shoulder. "In military affairs, impatience is the most taboo. We should return to Industrial 7 and integrate the resources and information we have before making a decision."

Cagalli opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end her whole body relaxed.

Impatience and a feeling of helplessness and frustration filled her heart.

"Look up, Cagalli." Erica noticed Cagalli's condition and said, "Take another look before the 'Aurora' fades."

Compared to Cagalli's irritability, Erica felt confused at this moment.

She used all her life's knowledge to try to explain the reason for the appearance of "Aurora" and why the Archangel was able to fly into space after the "Aurora" appeared on the Narrative Gundam.

After all, if I remember correctly, the Archangel's positron interference channel should have dissipated by then.

And that flame...

"Exactly the same as Zesta..."

……

Consciousness seems to be drifting in the colorful ocean current.
