Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 710: The Accident of Fate

"Why are you here too?"

In an unfamiliar space, the first thing Lux saw was a purple-haired man waving at her and asking questions. Although she was very sure that she had never seen this boy before, for some reason Lux felt that the other party seemed to have a natural sense of intimacy.

"You are."

"My name is Tiantong. Oh, I'm the driver who failed to save you and was chopped into pieces by Lao. Tsk, it's a bit embarrassing."

“Then this is.”

"Quantum space, to be exact, it's the quantum space constructed by Siegfried. The center point where the GN particles converge is where he is. Although I don't know how you got in, according to convention, you have to wait until he gets rid of the dimensional entanglement before you can talk to him. If you don't mind, we can chat, after all..."

"After all, in his timeline, you two are the legal couple."

A familiar voice came from behind. Lux covered her mouth with one hand and turned around immediately. The tears that had been held back fell again, but this time Lux's crying did not have the despair as before. Instead, it was filled with uncontrollable joy.

"Siegfried!"

"Hey, isn't this Lux?"

Without much thought, Lux followed her instinct and ran forward, but the expected touch did not come as expected. She passed through Siegfried's body and fell to the ground after losing her balance. If Tiantong had not been quick to grab her, Lux would have fallen directly to the ground.

"Your body."

"Sorry, my real body has to participate in the decisive battle of Abavaku soon. Fortunately, Jinn lacks veterans and I got a warrior, otherwise there wouldn't be enough mules to cut. Oh, and I'm also Haman's teacher. After the battle, I have to arrange for her and Minerva to leave Side 3. It's really troublesome."

After she finished speaking, there was only greater confusion in Lux's big eyes, but Tiantong at the side was so shocked that even her hair stood up.

As a time traveler himself, he was well aware of the significance of Siegfried's words. However, since there was a 'local native' beside him, and Tiantong couldn't tell whether Siegfried was just making up an excuse or it was true, he could only open his mouth and mumble a few times before choosing to remain silent.

"Is it from another plane?"

Unexpectedly, Lux was only confused for a few seconds, and then immediately took up the topic. This reaction speed also made Siegfried's projection slightly look sideways, and after a moment he sighed: "As expected of you, looking at so many worlds, Lux Klein is really a unique existence."

"Am I to understand that this is the first time you have complimented me?"

"You talk as if I'm some kind of inhuman guy."

Looking upwards with a guilty conscience, to be fair, Siegfried himself knew that due to certain stereotypes, he had kept a certain distance from Lux from the very beginning, and this respectful attitude continued until the end of the entire Fate arc.

Until Hilde decrypted the information left by Durandal and knew the origin of his body, Siegfried still could not feel close to Lux. At that time, his resistance was more based on instinct, and he even thought that this inexplicable bloodline theory was a negation of all his efforts over the years.

"I really didn't expect that the Tuner's telepathy could penetrate the dimensional wall."

"Then, I wonder if the honorable Reformer can help Lux solve her puzzlement?"

Siegfried sat cross-legged without any image, scratched his head and looked at the light bulb beside him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let me think about where to start. Let's start with the concept of fate."

As Siegfried swung his hand in an arc, large amounts of GN particles surged to his side in the form of thick mist. Lux only had time to see the other party seem to give a malicious smile, and then a huge amount of information rushed into her brain in an unreasonable way within a second.

“The amount of information is a bit overwhelming, but this is the most convenient way, after all.”

Before Lux could finish hearing the last few words, the magnificent river of time appeared in front of her, with countless forks branching out from the main river channel. In these tributaries, there were also countless Luxes showing their happy or unfortunate lives.

"Generally speaking, I am used to calling this unique timeline the River of Destiny. In this world, there is no such thing as chance. Everything is destined to exist. All secondary planes are derived from the River of Destiny. Here you can witness the ending of Lacus and Kira with your own eyes."

As she spoke, scenes that were familiar yet strange flashed past Lacus' eyes, starting with the G-series robbery incident. When the scene of Kira and Athrun fighting to the death due to the deaths of Nicol and Thor appeared, Lacus clenched her hands tightly together. Then the Fate story unfolded, when Kira was forced to pilot the Freedom Gundam again, when the Freedom Gundam was pierced through the cockpit by the pulse, until PLANT and the Earth Alliance once again reached a truce, every scene made Lacus look at it very seriously. "Then, it's the sequel to the River of Fate, everything you, Kira, and Compass encountered in a world without me."

The scene switched to the post-war world, and Lacus found herself becoming the president of Compass. Due to the absence of Siegfried, the Compass in this world did not appear as a villain, but instead took on the responsibilities that the Celestial Beings team currently had.

But this kind of life has put great pressure on the relationship between Kira and Lacus. The cold meals, the girl sleeping on the sofa, and the endless wars, everything is tearing apart the relationship between the lovers that should have been extremely strong.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Pan received an invitation from Van Dyson to go on a visit. Lux watched herself and Orphee dancing motionlessly, and watched Kira gradually fall into self-doubt, until Kira, who was psychologically hinted, was declared an enemy by Orphee, and Ascension Freedom was pierced into a hedgehog by the short needle projection system and chopped down by the strong man running.

"But don't worry. As the son of the plane, Kira won't die easily."

So, Aslan came to the rescue, Kira woke up, Van Dyson had a decisive battle with Compass, and the PLANT was purged internally, until Kira shouted "This is Lacus's love" and killed Orphee and Ingrid who were driving Garuda with one knife. The scene turned back to the beach of Orb again, and the two empty combat suits on the ground seemed to indicate that the scene ahead was not suitable for children.

"Ahem, don't look at the back, there's an eyesore here."

Fortunately, Siegfried cut off the screen in time. Lux seemed to still be immersed in the shock of the River of Destiny. After a long time, she said, "I want to see the world where Lux has her sister, and this person."

"Tiantong, um... I think it's better not to look at it. It's quite embarrassing."

As a result, Siegfried waved his hand again, and the two tributaries derived from the River of Destiny appeared in Lux's eyes again. When she saw that Tiantong held Genesis hostage alone in order to cut off her connection with the terminal, and Dolores held her hand and pulled the trigger at herself, and then announced to the entire PLANT that it was her sister who killed her father personally, Lux could no longer control her emotions, and she even staggered in excitement.

"It's what you want to see"

The support from behind brought a warm feeling. Siegfried had gotten rid of the quantum state and returned to his human form. He held Lacus's shoulder with one hand, but there was a sadness on his face that Lacus found unfamiliar.

"If you regard the river of fate as an inevitable outcome, then I, Hilde, your sister, and this useless Mr. Loser are all accidents in the inevitable."

"accidental."

"Yes, by chance. Humans will not succumb to fate. Even in the world of the River of Destiny, you and Kira still resisted Durandal's destiny plan. We are the embodiment of human will to resist, in order to fight against the chance that was born out of necessity."

"But why do you let me know this? We can't go back to our world anyway."

"No, I brought you here and witnessed all this so that you would have the opportunity to choose whether you want to return to the inevitable time. You also saw that there, you and Kira could have a happy ending."

In response to Siegfried, Lacus gave him a gentle hug. Under Tiantong's stunned gaze, Lacus's expression was more resolute than ever before.

“Human history is constantly advancing through one coincidence after another. This is the god that is unique to us humans, the inner god called possibility.”

"Lux"

"Lacus Clyne, I formally invite the hero Siegfried to use this tiny chance like a light to break the shackles of fate that shroud this world."

Orb, at the same time, the alarms of Aurora Society and the Goro Island were all sounded. The Dawn Phoenix that was staying in the hangar suddenly moved. A large number of green crystalline fragments emerged from its body. Not only that, the entire machine suddenly entered the NTD mode without energy and no one driving.

But compared with the changes in Phoenix, the underground medical room of Yu Neng Goro Island is the most important existence. When Hilde and Cagalli arrived, the entire space had been covered by green particles, and Ingrid, with a confused look on her face, was standing at the door in a hospital gown.

"This is what I am"

"Step aside!"

Cagalli pushed past Ingrid and opened Siegfried's door. She saw Lacus standing alone in the middle of the empty room. She was shocked and angry. She grabbed Lacus's clothes and asked loudly, "Where did you take Siegfried?"

"He said he wanted to finish the Battle of A-Bawa-Ku and send Haman away. Judging from her name, she's a girl?"
