The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Even if you happen to hit these places, it can only be because of good luck... or... very bad luck?

"Aine, hell is coming next!"

"Aine, run away!"

Without warning, Kosi turned over. Before Aine could see the gun barrel that had turned towards her, her scalp felt like it was electrified and she subconsciously raised her shield.

"boom!"

"what?!"

A beam of Mega particle cannon like a cascade of fiery red hit the shield. The anti-beam coating was helpless against this level of beam and lost its effect in an instant. The metal particles and fibers under the coating turned into scorching threads and dissipated into the atmosphere.

This part of the shield, as well as the area next to it, has lost the ability to resist high-powered beams, and will be penetrated if hit by another one.

"Xiao Deng, why...why did you get involved in this?"

Penelope took advantage of the explosion to change direction and shot at Cauchy again.

"Don't get involved in this anymore," Aiyin felt ashamed.

"If it was Xiao Deng, she would definitely be able to convince Xia Ya-san, and she wouldn't be as embarrassed as I am..."

She said in self-abandonment, "Xiao Deng, don't you love Xia Yasang? Now Xia Yasang might die in our hands!"

"Aine! Rise up quickly!"

"hateful!"

The pink-haired girl quickly controlled Penelope to rise.

A beam slightly thinner than Penelope's Mega Particle Cannon flew across Penelope's previous 'path'.

"What's going on, Xiao Deng? Is Xiao Deng here?"

Xia Ya was a little confused, but it didn't affect her reaction.

Cosi dodged the beams of Unit 1 and Unit 2, aiming and shooting calmly.

“Just a little bit more!”

The distance between Cosi and the white wooden horse was only about 30 kilometers.

If we get closer, even in the atmosphere, the particles will be constantly slowed down and dispersed by the air, which can also cause damage to the White Trojan Horse. Coupled with the anti-ship missiles equipped by Cauchy, the White Trojan Horse will definitely sink here tonight.

The explosion caused by the impact on Penelope's shield woke up Su Shi, who seemed to have lost her soul.

She didn't know what to do now, but no matter what she did, she would not just sit there and watch.

"Xiao Xiang...why did it become like this?"

Unit 00 launched a charge straight ahead without any hesitation,

It's just... like going to die.

"No! Don't! Sushi!"

Aiyin quickly activated the missiles and launched a salvo of five floating missiles at Cosi. Although launching missiles at this distance was within the power range, it was still a bit difficult.

But Penelope doesn't have much else, but it has a lot of missiles.

Penelope is equipped with 34 floating missiles alone. In terms of firepower sustainability, Penelope is stronger than Cauchy.

Even if it was Cauchy, he couldn't ignore the attack of the floating missile.

It is directly controlled by the pilot's brain waves and can chase enemy planes indefinitely as long as there is speed. Of course, the premise is that the pilot himself has not been deceived.

Furthermore, it is not an easy task to operate both the MS and the floating missiles at the same time, and to operate five at once is even more of a task.

Aiyin was not proficient in the use of this kind of weapon, and she just foolishly chased after Cosi instead of chasing and intercepting him from all directions.

Cauchy directly pulled up the onion from the dry land, climbing straight up,

Just like a fighter jet cannot rely on hard maneuvers to dodge missiles, the best way for a MS like Cauchy to dodge missiles is still to consume the missile's power and speed.

After a while, when the floating missile approached Cauchy, there was no white smoke at the tail, which was a sign that the power section had been consumed.

Although their speed is still faster than Cauchy, this is just the end of the strength. As Cauchy makes several ascending S maneuvers,

Having lost their power, they exploded in the night sky.

"Aine, why... don't you like Xia Ya-san the most? Why can you still be angry with her?"

During the communication, Su Shi's voice was distraught and confused.

"Then what else can I do?"

Aine's voice was filled with tears, as if she would burst into tears at any moment, "Am I going to abandon everyone and go to Xia Ya-san?! There's no other way, Soyo-san! We can only become her enemy, right?!"

"Damn it, Xiao Deng, don't come near here anymore, we... are doing something pathetic..."

"Lixi, Lenai, please cover Sushi. Her mental state is very unstable right now."

Penelope used her beam to contain Cauchy's maneuvers while closing the distance again.

Next time, the floating missile will not miss.

"Xiao Deng... Xiao Deng again, is Xiao Deng here?! Damn it!"

Xia Ya cursed in her heart. She no longer knew whether she should feel regretful or glad that she was not a new human.

If she could also see Xiao Deng's 'soul', would she still have the courage to ignore Xiao Deng and continue attacking?

Xia Ya herself didn't know...

Because of her momentary distraction, she was almost hit by the beam shot by Penelope.

The scorching hot particle stream illuminated the cockpit, and the trembling atmosphere made the aircraft tremble, giving her the illusion that she was hit.

"I've become weaker, is it because of Xiao Deng?!"

"I...must end this!"

Xia gritted her teeth and without warning, she made a huge overload turn and rushed towards Penelope.

"So fast!"

Just when Aine was about to launch the missile, Cosi suddenly changed direction and descended to the blind spot of Penelope's main camera.

"not good!"

Ain's heart was filled with alarm. She turned around subconsciously and looked behind her warily, but she found nothing.

'right!'

"hateful!"

The pink-haired girl cursed her own incompetence, controlled her robotic arm to pull out the beam saber, and slashed to the right!

The approaching shadow also lit up a beam saber in his hand, easily blocking her slash.

The high-temperature plasma restrained by the force field in the hands of the two steel giants suddenly collided with each other, emitting a large amount of light and heat, making the surroundings as bright as day.

This reminded Aine of the time when she and her friends went to the beach for a camp and lit fireworks on the beach.

The fireworks sticks are constantly emitting brilliant fireworks, how beautiful it is.

But this beauty is too deadly, and it can easily cut through the armor of the MS...

Although both of their 'beam sabers' had no physical form, the positions that bounded the plasma repelled each other. Even if tens of tons of force were applied to the beam sabers, it would be impossible to completely 'split' the force field if the output of the two machines was equal.

"Xia Ya-san!"

Aine didn't know what to say anymore.

She only realized now that Cossi's attack angle was quite clever. Penelope's massive body blocked most of the range of fire from the other three Odysseus Gundams.

With someone like Xia as her opponent, Aine felt a deep sense of despair both objectively and emotionally.

"Why didn't you launch the missile?! Cosi also has floating missiles, why didn't he launch them just now?"

What made Aine feel even more complicated was——

This is not Xia Ya's full strength.

'why?'

Xia Ya questioned herself, and the answer was obvious...

Chapter 168: Xia Yasang, do you really not want us anymore?

The answer is also very obvious, she does not want Aiyin and the others to die,

In fact, even Xia Ya did not expect the other 'enemies' to die quickly.

But... life is always full of helpless things...

"Yes, just as you thought," Xia Ya admitted her weakness, "Because it was you, I hesitated."

"In that case, why... do we still have to fight?!"

"Xia Ya-san, don't you think this is pathetic?"

"Please, just think of it as being for me..."

Aine said something willful, "For our sake, please don't... fight with everyone anymore, okay?"

"This is the way the world is now. In the final analysis, everyone is just speaking with strength.

In the world, although America has declined, it is still the strongest. There is nothing it can do about the White Trojan Horse being taken away by them.

Other major powers tried to stop it secretly, but they all failed, didn't they?

They didn't use nuclear weapons in the end, which meant they compromised with America.

This has nothing to do with one's stance, but is a compromise based on risk and benefit. Isn't that what all adults do?!

Xia Ya-san, you have to understand!"

“I understand, Aine!”

“Even in the last century, the Red Empire, founded on great ideals, fell into the quagmire of utilitarianism.

Because of corruption, narrow nationalism and self-interest, they have thrown their ideals behind and used ideology as a tool to invade other countries.

In the end, the people lost all their support and the company ended up in a tragic end.

If young people like you compromise with utilitarianism,

Then people in the future will have no choice but to repeat the tragedy of today?!"

"Yes, that's right! I'm just a person of this level," Aiyin said in despair, "I don't understand anything about the future. All I know now is that humans must go into space!

Otherwise, the tragedies that Maria and her parents encountered cannot be changed!

besides…"

Then, there are embarrassing words,

"Xia Ya-san, why did you abandon us!?

Didn’t we all agree to go to the planetarium and the space museum together?!

Have you forgotten what you said about dandelions?

Didn't Xia Ya-san also say that humans must become 'Dandelions'?!"

“Because I’m only half-hearted, Aine! I can’t be a ‘mother’ or ‘sister’ who only loves everyone.

Nor can he use everyone as useful tools like a mature politician.

If I continue to stay with you like this, it will only make everyone more miserable! I will get involved in trouble, just like when we were in the Balkans.

"Is that so...Is that so! Is this why you're so indifferent to Xiao Deng?! Huh?!"

"You guy!"

Penelope kicked Cosi's shield, using the reaction force to create distance, and the two Mega Particle Cannons on her shoulders fired simultaneously.

"Don't say such irresponsible things! Are you running away without permission just because you don't want to cause everyone pain in the future?!"

"It's you, Aine, who shouldn't be responsible! Even though we're not even close, you promised Xiao Deng that you'd drive a mobile suit for life. How many willful things have you said?!"

Cauchy dodged the beam of light as nimbly as a bird.

"If I were like you, it would be easy for me to be a simple MS pilot! However, I also have to consider the expectations of many people!

Some people are willing to lend their meager living expenses to Ave Mujica even if they can only eat rice balls for a long time.
