We moved to Golden Courtyard

They were so focused on getting closer to that big machine that they neglected these small fry.

Thanks!

She knew that she probably owed Theresa her life, but she wanted Shi Bao to put aside her pride, swallow her previous words "I'm enough on my own!", and then join forces with Theresa.

I, Shi Bao, would never do something so shameful!

"Xiao Shi! I'll cover you!"

Shi Bao outwardly pursed his lips, but inwardly his goodwill towards him increased significantly.

As the artillery fire intensified, the last remaining psycho-Gundam seemed to panic, hastily aiming its Honkai energy particle cannon at Shi Bao.

At such close range, even if the trajectory could be predicted, there was no way to avoid it!

only……

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

But then Shi Bao sheathed his spear, suddenly raised the brick, and smashed it down amidst a burst of maniacal laughter!

As the brick was thrown, it frantically absorbed the Honkai energy, or rather, the Taixu sword energy, from Shi Bao's body, and amidst the shocked faces of countless people, it became a giant brick as tall as a building!

Others might not be able to sense it, but the people of Mount Taixu could—the Honkai energy contained within it was probably approaching that of Fu Xian'er…

Although Xu Qi set a bad precedent, making everyone call him "Shi Bao, Shi Bao" all the time, he is actually of the same generation as Fu Xian'er and is everyone's junior uncle.

Their strength, if not equal, must be close.

Even Durandal would have to admit that this person possesses my bravery.

"Lie down!"

It's hard to imagine that this psycho-Gundam, which embodies the most advanced technology of Destiny, was smashed to pieces by a brick!

The people who developed this armor must be heartbroken...

But that's fate, and Xu Qi has no sympathy for him.

The battle has continued for so long, and Haiwei has suffered multiple injuries, with his energy levels nearing the warning threshold, but the distance between them and the Father...

Xu Qi gritted his teeth and asked, "Kiana, how much longer can Hevi maintain the Trans-Am timeline?"

Kiana didn't even need to answer; on the Ptolemy, Möbius immediately connected to Xu Qi's communication channel and shouted, "Are you crazy, Xu Qi!?"

Not only have you already used it once, but Hevi's energy is also severely depleted! Your top priority now is to return to Ptolemy as soon as possible for resupply!

Otherwise, the Honkai Reactor will lose power, and you won't even be able to stay airborne! Therefore, you absolutely cannot use the Trans-Am system, understand? Absolutely not!

“It’s okay!” Hevin said, and Xu Qi took a deep breath.

"Trust me, Professor, it'll be fine. Just tell me the time, and I'll be alright."

"you!……"

Dr. Mei sighed and took the intercom, saying, "32 seconds... You only have 32 seconds, and that's the limit."

After 32 seconds, Haivi will lose all kinetic energy and plummet towards the sea.

Mebius glared at Mei.

Why did you tell him that?!

"Even if we don't tell him, he'll still use it, so let's tell Xu Qi the specific time to prevent him from doing anything reckless."

"..."

"I understand, thank you, Mei... Professor, I'll be back, I will definitely be back, please believe me."

Mebius looked out over the bridge through the virtual image.

"If you don't come back, I'll make everyone pay with their lives."

……

At this moment, Xu Qi's eyes were unusually calm. He quietly stared at the densely packed Destiny Armor in front of him. These... were the final enemies.

Kiana didn't speak. At that moment, she chose to place her hands on Xu Qi's hands. Even if she couldn't touch them, it was enough that her feelings could be conveyed.

I believe in you, Xu Qi.

"Trans-Am!"

A pure white light burst forth, and Xu Qi suddenly pulled Haiwei up! At the same time, all eight floating cannons, as well as all the artillery on Haiwei's body, were deployed!

From Xu Qi's mental perspective, there are 137 Destiny Armored Machines blocking his way. He needs to destroy at least 100 of them to ensure Xia's passage.

32 seconds, 100 aircraft...

If this could be done, it would be an absolute miracle.

And he must create this miracle!

In an instant, mental energy locked onto 100 enemy aircraft. Funnels... Fire!

With the Trans-Am system's support, the beams fired by Haiwei, enhanced with three times the full performance, instantly rained down on the enemy!

Previously in Guangcheng, Xu Qi used the Moonlight System to deploy the Light Wings while piloting a V2V vehicle.

But what we're seeing now is no longer just some simple wing of light...

This is a barrage of comments!

Every beam of light pierced precisely through a Destiny Armored vehicle, without missing a single target! Without any near misses! Every single one hit its mark!

On the battlefield, everyone couldn't help but look in this direction. To Xu Qi's side, it was like a rain of holy light, but to Tianming... these were the pronouncements of death!

10, 20...

The troops blocking their way are being decimated at an alarming rate!

When the light went out, 32 seconds later—86 aircraft were lost!

Excessive use of his mental energy left Xu Qi slumped in the cockpit, grumbling, "I couldn't... do it...?"

Haiwei's light went out completely. Xu Qi, a weary smile on his lips, whispered, "Catch me... Theresa..."

"Xu Qi!"

Breaking through a barrage of fire, the unicorn caught the falling Hevy. Theresa cried out anxiously, "Xu Qi! Xu Qi!"

"Yes, yes... I'm fine, it's just a pity I couldn't..."

"That's enough, Xu Qi."

In the distance, the already crimson Sinanju suddenly burst forth with incredible speed, rushing toward the Father!

The remaining 51 units were simply no match for this armored machine!

Inside the Father's chambers, Otto also heard his subordinates' reports.

"An enemy mobile suit... is approaching at three times the speed!"

Char...

Gazing at the distant Sinanju, Xu Qi suddenly sensed something was amiss. He knew Sinanju's capabilities; if Xia Ya truly had a way to destroy the Father's high-energy particle cannon, then perhaps only…

A moment of panic flashed across Xu Qi's expression.

He quickly connected to Char's communication channel and asked, "Master! How do you plan to destroy the Father's high-energy particle cannon?"

"The fact that you're communicating with me now means you've already figured out my solution, right?"

Xu Qi's mind went blank for a moment.

"Char!"

"It won't be the elderly who create a new era. If young people like you all die, then who will make this world a better place?"

Char calmly piloted the Sinanju toward the cannon barrel on the Father's chest.

At that moment, he seemed to see it, he saw the man named Otto. The two looked at each other calmly, as if they both understood each other's choices and the future that was about to happen.

"Master! Xia! Are you going to make me carry this guilt and resentment for the rest of my life?! I won't allow you to do that!"

"It's alright, Xu Qi. This isn't death, but a prelude to a brighter tomorrow... Let me, Xia Ya, be the navigator to the future!"

The moment the machine plunged into the Father's chest, Char inputted his final command into the Sinanju—2887.

"Execute...self-destruct procedure."

1201. I still can't understand you, Otto.

A point of light, like a star, suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

The self-destruction of the Sinanju alone would not have caused such a huge commotion; it also destroyed the high-energy collapse particle reactor.

The massive shockwave completely destroyed the coastal defense forces on Okinawa Island!

The exoskeleton armor surrounding them was also blown away.

Seeing this, Theresa threw out three shields equipped with miniature I-fields, creating a 360° force field barrier around her and Xu Qi, which barely blocked the impact.

After the impact subsided, Xu Qi looked back again...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the place was ravaged.

At least the mountains on Okinawa Island that were originally hollowed out but still existed were also blasted away.

Ironically, the Father plane wasn't completely destroyed; it was just completely battle-damaged, kneeling on Okinawa Island.

All around, countless exoskeletons of destiny could not withstand this level of impact and fell into the sea.

No one fired anymore. The moment the Heavenly Father was destroyed, everyone seemed to lose their reason to continue fighting, whether it was the Fate faction or Xu Qi's side.

Xu Qi stared blankly at the Father's chest...

There, now only a huge hole remains. Xu Qi knew that under that level of explosion, his master's remains would not even be preserved.

This time, there won't be any surprises like Theresa's.

Theresa pursed her lips, unsure how to comfort Xu Qi, even though that man had made many mistakes and had once been at odds with her.

But now... it's really hard to say.

At least Theresa knew that in Xu Qi's heart, no matter how complicated his feelings for Xia Ya were, there would always be a trace of respect and admiration.

That was his master, the best master to him.

Now... he has even entrusted his life to Xu Qi.

Just as he said before his death—it was not his death, but a prelude to a better tomorrow.

Xu Qi, and indeed all those who survived this war, had their futures paved by Xia Ya; he was the navigator leading everyone toward the future.

"Theresa...take me there."

Theresa nodded and flew to the vicinity of the Father with Hevy, who had lost his source of energy.

Instead of going to the large hole in the chest, they came to the head of the Father.

There, both Xu Qi and Theresa sensed a subtle fluctuation of life.

Hevy's exoskeleton armor opened, and Xu Qi silently stepped out. Seeing this, Theresa did not follow, but continued to keep watch on the surroundings from inside the unicorn.

Xu Qi opened the cockpit of the Heavenly Father's head, where he saw a damaged cockpit and Cocolia and Otto lying inside, looking extremely weak.

Cocolia struggled to sit up. When she saw it was Xu Qi, she gave a cold laugh, but then her expression turned to endless loneliness and relief.

"You won... I'm sorry, before..."

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced Cocolia's skull, ending the wicked life of this leader of Anti-Entropy.

Apologize? Then that's the best way for you to apologize.

Xu Qi continued forward, and in the corner of the cockpit, he saw Otto slumped there.

Blood flowed down his body. Upon seeing Xu Qi, he couldn't even stand up. He could only sit against the wall in a half-lying position, raising his head slightly to look at Xu Qi.

Xu Qi couldn't describe the look in Otto's eyes as he looked at him at that moment.

He didn't even harbor any resentment; all he felt was... unwillingness to accept defeat.

Xu Qi had no idea what Otto was so unwilling about, nor could he comprehend the depth of this man's obsession with Karen.

Of course, he didn't want to know either.
