The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Cauchy displayed a long list of parts in the corner of the central control screen, none of which could be produced at present.

Although some people have created high-tensile steel in the laboratory, the early version of Gundamium alloy has also shown some progress.

But there is still a long way to go from the laboratory to industrial manufacturing.

Not to mention Cauchy's parts, even if it were the parts of the original Gundam, the difficulty of manufacturing them in this "world" would be no less than building a fifth-generation fighter from scratch.

"If we don't defeat this final enemy, we won't have a future. Sorry, Cosi."

"This machine is not a human or a living being. Commander, you don't need to apologize."

"So...you don't have to worry about me, just do what you want!" Xiao Mu's voice came through the airwaves.

"Stupid Xiaomu..." Xiangzi smiled, then looked ahead. "No matter what, you are still my friend, Cosi. It was you who saved me from the world of infinite reincarnation. Because of you, I didn't become the person I hated the most when I was a child."

At this moment, Cauchy was climbing at a rate of 20 degrees, and the white horse was only about ten kilometers away from it.

At this distance, if Cauchy had enough energy, he could easily sink the white horse.

"Drip drip"

A 'light spot' flew out from the white wooden horse.

Xiangzi could no longer see its shape, and only thanks to Kesi's thoughtfulness in enlarging the prompt UI on the full-circle screen did she not lose sight of the target.

"So...can you stay with me till the end...my friend?"

"Your will is the meaning of this machine's existence."

"Thank you," Xiangzi's voice was hoarse but gentle, "It's Kshatriya, right? Now... I don't know if I can still fulfill my promise to Adele."

She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Let's do it, Kesi!"

…………

"What the hell is this?!"

The image of the flashing demon was magnified on the Kshatriya's all-around display screen.

Its entire body was pitch black, as if it had been burned by flames. One of its mechanical arms was missing, and one of its double V-shaped antennas was broken.

Who could have imagined that the shining demon that had slaughtered four aircraft carrier battle groups in five minutes would be in such a mess.

What was even more difficult for Lilith to accept was that the shining demon was in such a mess.

She actually...

Are you scared?

"Who would be afraid of a one-armed cripple?"

She yelled to encourage herself, took aim, and fired the Mega Particle Cannon!

But even the flaming demon, who was in such a mess, did not make any major maneuvers and easily dodged the beam shot by the Kshatriya.

"He dodged it, he actually dodged it?!"

Lilith was extremely shocked. "Damn it! Let's see how many shots you can dodge!"

The Kshatriyas continued to fire, but the more they fired, the more frightened Lilith became.

She didn't feel anything from a distance, but when she got closer, she found that although the grating of the Flashing Demon was extremely unstable and seemed to be extinguished at any time, its speed was still astonishingly fast.

What frightened Lilith even more was that it neither used beams to fight back nor launched missiles.

It was as if he was going to get close and kill himself with the beam saber in his hand.

"do not come!"

The PTSD hidden deep in the brain, deeper than memory, broke out.

Lilith was like a frightened child, forgetting all about making achievements and becoming a great person, and she manipulated the Kshatriya to turn around and run away.

"Help! Help, doctor, save me!"

Because the distance to the white horse was much closer than that to Cauchy, it didn't take long for the Kshatriya to successfully protect the white horse in front of him and fly towards the aircraft carrier battle group at the rear.

At this moment, there was no obstacle between the white wooden horse and Cauchy, and the distance was only less than five kilometers.

"It's over, it's all over!"

The bridge was filled with wailing, but only Misora ​​Naomi and Mu, who was protected in her arms, remained calm.

Those who were not frightened to death glared at the two of them, as if they had summoned a shining demon to send them to the stake.

"Feel sorry,"

Naomi Misora ​​apologized softly to the girl in her arms, "I've shown you the pathetic side of adults."

Even when someone pointed a gun at him, Mu remained expressionless.

Two hundred years ago, a child like her would have been destined for the stake.

Even if someone calls her a witch and puts her on the stake, she will just shake her head to say no.

But her calm demeanor only makes people more suspicious.

Although at this point, there is no point in yelling, breaking down and crying, or staying rational and proving one's innocence.

They didn't care how many bowls of noodles Liuzi ate, they just wanted Liuzi to die.

'Am I going to die?'

Mu didn't answer Misora ​​Naomi's words, nor did he pay much attention to the gun pointed at him.

Her gaze followed the 'flash demon' that was getting closer and closer, and she suddenly said, "Xiangzi is very sad now..."

"Nonsense!" Miao Meng couldn't help but complain, "You're on the white wooden horse right now. Of course she's sad because she's about to send everyone to heaven. Hahahaha!"

Uh…her mental state has always been quite beautiful.

Mu did not explain that Xiangzi was sad not because he might kill himself, but because Xiangzi was sad.

Although Xiangzi may not remember it, there is one memory that is very deep in Mu's mind——

A few days after the aqua-blue-haired girl took her to look for treasure,

Mu saw her crying beside the road, and the thing that made her cry was the vicious dog that killed the kitten.

It wasn't that Xiangzi was accidentally bitten by the vicious dog, but that the vicious dog was lying beside the road, motionless.

Several adults, fully armed and equipped with all the necessary tools, stood by, somewhat bewildered, and whispered to each other, wondering if they had hit the wrong dog and had hit an owner's dog.

The girl with aquamarine hair was crying and asking why they suddenly had to clean up the stray dogs.

The adults replied that the child of a prominent person living nearby was almost attacked by a stray dog.

There is no doubt that the child of that important person is Xiangzi himself...

Mu didn't know Xiangzi's feelings at that time.

But then she understood,

To Xiangzi, both the kitten and the vicious dog are the weaker party.

If the "evil dog" really hurt someone and was beaten to death, or if it was unlucky and was hit by a car while crossing the road, Xiangzi probably would not cry.

What she couldn't accept was that the 'evil dog' died because of her.

That's why she said Xiangzi is very sad now.

On that burning sea, tens of thousands of lives and countless families were lost because of her.

"Xiaoxiang, why would you go to such lengths?"

The flashing demon is 3 kilometers, 2 kilometers away from the white wooden horse!

Then--

Passed directly over it,

This scene left everyone stunned. Wasn't Ave Mujica making such a big fuss just to destroy the white Trojan Horse?

Could it be that the shining demon is planning to attack in a roundabout direction?

Or maybe, was she soft-hearted because her childhood sweetheart was on the white wooden horse?

"I've already said it," Naomi Misora ​​sighed tiredly, "Her real goal isn't the white Trojan horse..."

…………

"...but it's America's five aircraft carrier formations," Natasha recounted to Adele the conversation she had with 'Shaya' on the nuclear-powered icebreaker that day on the underwater Nautilus.

"She never seemed to consider killing her friends, so naturally there was no preparation. The only thing she wasn't prepared for was the possibility of her own death..."

…………

"Sorry, Adele, I didn't make it in time again..."

The last aircraft carrier formation launched missiles, and Xiangzi had to climb again.

But this time, Cauchy's speed and flexibility were no longer as good as before, and all his floating missiles and usable weapons were used up.

Can she...really survive?

Chapter 176: Saki, why are you crying?

When Aiyin opened her eyes again, it was pitch black all around her. She thought she was dead.

But the sudden pain that swept through her body reminded her that she was still alive.

Although the core of the spherical cockpit was floating by magnetic levitation, and the connection between the core and the seat was supported by multiple layers of shock absorbers, Aine still received a huge impact.

"Little lamp, little lamp?"

She called upon the spirit of the gray-haired girl, hoping to learn from her what had happened after she fell unconscious.

But she waited for a long time, but no answer came...

If there wasn't something wrong with her semicircular canals or her brain, Penelope seemed to be swaying, as if she was lying in the water and drifting.

Based on her sense of gravity, Aine judged that the hatch on Penelope's chest should be facing the sky.

The feeling of drifting with the current made her sure that Penelope was floating on the sea.

"What happened to everyone..."

Driven by anxiety, she took out her survival tools, lit a fluorescent stick and used it as a light, picked up the T-shaped amulet hanging next to the central control screen, and tried to open the hatch manually, but ultimately failed.

Penelope's cockpit was as sturdy as Cauchy's, but it would be a big problem if all the systems failed.

In the end, she could only detonate the emergency hatch ejection system and escape from the cockpit.

"Is it dawn yet?"

As soon as the hatch was blown open, light came in from outside.

But Aine soon discovered something was wrong. The light was not like the soft sunlight, but the light of burning tires.

As soon as she climbed out of the cockpit, the cockpit suit began to beep with an alarm, seemingly caused by the nuclear radiation in the air.

Although thermonuclear weapons are much cleaner than atomic bombs, the residual radiation is not so great that it can be ignored.

But at this moment, Aine no longer had time to care about these things. The firelight illuminated Penelope who was floating on the sea with the help of an emergency air bag. In Aine's eyes, the whole world was burning.

The scattered 'fireflies' rushed out of the burning hell, but they themselves were also ignited by the 'karmic fire'.

On the small ships, many crew members who were burned into flames jumped into the sea from the burning ships, but could not float up again.

Some ships lost control and crashed into the shore of the strait with flames, eventually exploding into a ball of fire.

The several thousand ton comprehensive supply ship was in much better condition, but it was also blackened by the burning oil, like charcoal.

The thick smoke from the burning was so thick that no one could see what was happening on the other side of hell.

'Has the White Horse been destroyed?'

'Did she do this, or was it some other great power?'

Aine had questions in her mind one after another, but no one could answer her.

"Hey, is everyone still alive?!"

The pink-haired girl wanted to cry, but she couldn't.

Because there's no point in crying.

She pressed her aching ribs with her right hand, while her left hand tightly grasped the amulet.
