Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1316 [World C] The Last Gate
In Zilkustan, underground in the former prison, Yang Hui and Lelouch stood in front of the gate of the ruins.

"This is the only suspect."

Yang Hui asked Xia Muna to investigate in the country and search for targets that might be targeted by the enemy, but after searching for a long time, only this last gate leading to [World C] had a chance.

Why is there only a "little" possibility? Because Lelouch of this world destroyed the [C World] in the final battle with Charles DI Bunitalia. If it weren't for the arrival of Lelouch of the original world, Lelouch would still be in a state of madness, with his soul imprisoned in the [C World], waiting for CC to risk his life to rescue him.

"But the [C World] has been completely shattered. What's the use of the enemy getting it?" Lelouch did not deny the accuracy of the speculation, but he also denied the value of the existence of the [C World].

In his opinion, if it was a complete [C World], negotiations would naturally need to be conducted in advance, and special precautions would be required, but the broken [C World] no longer had a complete consciousness. Even the soul of Charles DI Bunitalia, who trapped Lelouch's original consciousness in the [C World], was broken and could not be restored. So... was there any point in getting such a [C World]?

"What if there is a way to repair it?" Yang Hui put forward a hypothesis. This was not an unfounded guess because he thought of a definite and feasible solution.

"In fact, it can be repaired." CC came from behind, put his arms around Yang Hui's neck, and lay on his back. "The world consciousness lady of the original world has always been in contact with me. I have communicated with her. As long as the world is connected, she can take over the broken [C World] and rebuild [C World], but the prerequisite is that the world can be connected."

"You're here?"

"Yeah, a certain unfaithful man hasn't come for such a long time, and he didn't come to see me the first time he arrived. The poor little witch thought she was abandoned by the Demon King." CC complained with a look of resentment and grievance.

"Ahaha, am I not busy?" Yang Hui was embarrassed. Drei Kreuz had been busy with trivial matters since arriving in Kyrkustan. He came here after he had dealt with them and indeed forgot to look for CC and Cornelia.

"Yeah, the poor little witch is not as important as those trivial matters. Is she really going to be abandoned by the Demon King?"

"Crack~!"

Yang Hui slapped CC’s lower body with his backhand in annoyance: “Speak properly!”

CC's pretty face turned red, and the resentment and grievance on her face disappeared, replaced by a smile of success: "Okay, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"If we want to rebuild [World C], do we have to connect the worlds?" Yang Hui confirmed.

"That's what it told me."

"Is there any other way?"

"It's not that there isn't any. According to it, [World C] is now healing and rebuilding itself, but the speed is very slow. After thousands of years, a brand new world consciousness will be born. All it can do is occupy the magpie's nest. It compares [World C] to a house with a new owner. The rest is just reconstruction and decoration."

"In other words... as long as [World C] has a new owner, it will recover very quickly?" Yang Hui asked.

"That's the theory."

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Hui and Lelouch fell silent. They understood that the enemy was really targeting the last door to enter the [C World]. If it was just the hostile forces of this world, Yang Hui and Lelouch would be more relieved. After all, they all belonged to this world. Even if they came from another world, it was impossible for them to have a similar world consciousness. However...

The Temple of Slaughter and the [Knights] are different. They have conquered countless worlds and are likely to control the world consciousness of a certain world. Once they get it, the [C World] of this world will soon fall under the control of the other party.

"The situation is getting worse and worse." Yang Hui sighed. With the hard work of the Promise Legion, the absolute disadvantage turned into a stalemate, and they were able to find an opportunity to launch a counterattack. As a result...

An [Infinite Demon] in the New Fuji Research City and a [C World] gate in Zilkustan. These two alone must not fall into the hands of the enemy, not to mention the others that have not yet been discovered.

"A counterattack is imperative. The threats from the Zanskar Empire and Ulugaru must be eliminated as soon as possible." Lelouch's vision was far-reaching. Both the gates to the [Infinite Demon] and the [C World] were difficult to move. Moreover, with the enemy's elusive ability and unknown means of detection, it would not be safe to hide anywhere. What's more serious is that it would be impossible to study them thoroughly in a short period of time and nip the threat in the bud.

Will more key targets be discovered later? At present, these two will take away part of the Prosme Legion's forces. If they continue like this, they will only be dragged down.

Therefore, by reducing the current threats, we can devote more energy to enemies that cannot be dealt with in a short period of time.

"I will contact Rebil and order the New Photonics Research Institute to completely dig out the [Infinite Demon] as soon as possible, and then transport it here for centralized custody." This door is definitely unable to move, so the only thing left is the [Infinite Demon]. Although it is huge and heavy, with the ability of the Promith Legion, it can still be moved and transported.

"Hmm... it's a good idea. If we make a good plan... we can trick the enemy once more." Lelouch pondered, thinking of the Hell Army's obsession with the [Infinite Demon], which would surely be snatched by the Hell Army during transportation. If arrangements were made in advance, the [Infinite Demon] could be used as bait to eliminate the enemy's huge manpower.

"Let's go back and hold a remote meeting, including the counterattack, to finalize the follow-up complete plan. Urugaru and the Zanskar Empire... should be dealt with." As he spoke, a fierce light flashed in Yang Hui's eyes. Urugaru and other aliens who treat the Earth as livestock and prey, as well as the ambitious people of the Zanskar Empire, should be made to taste the cruelty of the Earthlings and the anger of the Earth Federation. "Well, let's go..."

……

"I already said I'm here to look for someone, why would I bother myself?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fan, this is a military restricted area. No one can approach here without the permission of Lord Lelouch or Lord Shamna."

"Fan, how about we forget it?"

"That won't do! The man who knows the whereabouts of the Hook Claw Man has finally arrived. I can't miss this opportunity!"

"Brahma..."

"What's going on?" Yang Hui and others returned to the ground from the underground ruins. At the entrance of the former prison, they found someone arguing with the guards there, so they stepped forward to ask.

"Colonel Yang Hui, His Highness Lelouch, this..."

"Hey, you are Yang Hui, right?" Before the guard could report, he was interrupted by a man who called himself Fan, staring at Yang Hui with sharp eyes.

"I am, who are you?"

A wide black cowboy hat is buckled on his head, and a black tuxedo outlines his tall and strong figure. Even his piercing and fiery eyes cannot conceal his old age temperament. This is the protagonist of "Guns and Swords", Van.

The fierce girl with brown twin ponytails following him is Wendy Garrett, who is going to be Brahma's bride.

Yang Hui recognized them at a glance, but pretended not to know them.

"My name is now [Fan of Dawn]. In the past, I was also called [Fan the Crybaby of Hell], [Fan without a Job], [Fan who eats and dine free]... Never mind, these are not important. Since you are Yang Hui, then it's easy. Tell me where is the Hook Claw Man?" Fan asked excitedly. If the guard he knew hadn't stopped him and Wendy hadn't been dragging him tightly, he would have probably rushed in front of Yang Hui.

"Hooked Claw Man?" Yang Hui was stunned for a moment and looked at Lelouch. He knew who the Hooked Claw Man was, but how did he know where he was?
Turning his head to look at Lelouch, he found that he turned his head away in embarrassment. Yang Hui knew that this stinky little brother must have blamed him for something.

"Lelouch, what's going on?"

"Fan was looking for the hook-clawed man who killed his bride a few years ago. He found Jilkustan and caused a bit of a commotion. I saw that he was a good fighter, so I found an excuse to keep him here."

"So you sold me out?"

"I have contacted Cruze, and the intelligence department has also allocated some personnel to search for the hook-claw man, but it is difficult to find a definite target based on Fan's description alone, so... your memory bank should be useful, right?"

Yang Hui: (╬￣ Pan￣)

My fist is hard and I want to teach my brother a lesson!

There is indeed information about the Hook Claw Man in his memory bank, but... the Hook Claw Man is a madman and has no fixed base. He has been wandering around the world, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. How could he know where the Hook Claw Man is?
"Hey! Don't ignore me! Tell me where the Hook-Claw Man is!?" Fan asked harshly, as if he was going to attack if the other party didn't tell him.

"Fan! Calm down!"

"Mr. Fan, please calm down!"

Yang Hui couldn't stand the tense situation any longer. He waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat and came to Fan: "Mr. Fan, I already understand the situation, but unfortunately, I don't know where the hook claw man is. The intelligence department of the federal army has been helping you find his whereabouts, but the information you provided is too vague. Do you have any other more accurate information that can help us accurately determine the target?"

"Tsk, is it really a waste of effort? If I had accurate intelligence, what would I need you for? I would have gone to find it myself." As expected, not getting the desired result, Fan sat on the ground with a dejected look on his face, and an aura of despair enveloped him.

"Mr. Fan, please cheer up and believe us. Our people are trying their best to find the whereabouts of the hook claw man. I believe that valuable information will be found soon. Please don't be discouraged and believe us. Of course, if you can provide more information, it will speed up our work."

"A man and a woman."
