Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 744: Past vs. Future
"Photon torpedoes fired at half power, MS troops, please evade!"

With the addition of Perfect Justice, the fragments of Genesis are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the photon torpedo's indiscriminate killing power also makes Aslan feel a mountain of pressure. If a dignified commander accidentally injures friendly forces in such a situation, then this unit will most likely be destroyed.

Fortunately, although Aslan in the SEED state cannot compare with Kira in fine operation, he is still not someone that an ordinary ACE can deal with. Under his control, the photon torpedo rapidly devoured the fragments of Genesis and completed the energy cycle. The Destiny Gundam on the side also tacitly used the large linear cannon to crush some stubborn fragments, so that the photon torpedo could more conveniently neutralize the antimatter.

"The medium-sized debris has been cleared, and the only ones left are the two large ones."

Like the original body of the Yakin Fortress, Genesis α was also made of PS armor. Although Bugilulu successfully sent the Marines to place a nuclear bomb inside, Genesis α still broke into two pieces after the nuclear explosion.

The larger part that had lost its power source was constantly breaking into more fragments under the salvos of the battleship cluster's firepower, but the smaller part was directly immune to nearly 90% of the firepower attacks because the PS armor was still powered on.

"First solve the largest fragments!"

Since Ptolemy also entered the gravitational circle, Hilde immediately distributed the second round of concentrated fire targets to the combat elements. At present, the largest wreckage has lost the protection of the PS armor. As long as photon torpedoes are added, more than 90% of the fragments should be able to be destroyed in the atmosphere. Under the strategy of choosing the lesser of two evils, she can only be forced to choose a result that will cause the least damage to the earth.

The gravity from the earth kept tearing at the external armor of Perfect Justice. Instead of being a help, its huge size became a burden. The screams of metal fatigue were like the wails of a banshee, destroying Aslan's eardrums. The huge man-made object in front of him was crushing towards him like a mountain.

It was not until this moment that Aslan truly felt what kind of determination Siegfried had had two years ago to be able to stand alone in front of the colony satellite.

Because even he himself felt a fear from the depths of his soul. This fear between life and death directly made Aslan want to escape. What made him persevere in the end was the scene of ZAFT and the People's Revolutionary League fighting together not far away.

"Everyone has done this before, so I can definitely do it too!"

The high temperature generated by the intense friction tore the shoulders of the Nightingale Armor apart. Aslan flipped on the switch of the photon torpedo. The next moment, brilliant spots of light scattered like stars in the crimson background. Huge debris continued to disappear in front of everyone under the cover of starlight.

At this time, the self-protection system of Perfect Justice was also activated. The remaining external armor was directly peeled off from the body, and the GN particles in the power tube were gradually released on the surface of the body to form a heat insulation barrier.

“It’s not enough!!!”

"Siegfried!!!"

Green crystals gradually spread from his shoulders to his elbows. At the same time, Siegfried found that his body showed signs of quantization again, but this time the quantization was completely beyond his control. In other words, once it was successfully activated, even he himself would not know to which plane or timeline he would be teleported to.

At the same time, the Moonlight Butterfly was constantly devouring the Extraordinary Power's nanoparticles to replenish itself. As the light wings behind the Phoenix became more and more agile, Kira found that the output of his body was constantly decreasing, which was almost impossible for the Extraordinary Power who used a fusion reactor.

"Don't you plan to walk side by side, and don't you plan to understand each other, Kira?"

"The light that a hero can emit is too short-lived to illuminate this dark world. Why don't you understand?"

Countless timelines appeared and collapsed with the phantoms of the two machines. In these timelines, Kira saw countless possible futures, but these futures were all endless battles without exception. Kira tried hard to find the answers to the world, but the thick darkness bound his hands and feet tightly, and in the end only despair was left.

In this despair, Kira went back in time to three seconds ago, and then stabbed the Phoenix who had just appeared behind him with the Budōmyouhun, but Siegfried jumped back to the future again and directly broke the causal line. As the tip of the Budōmyouhun's knife passed through the crystal, Kira finally discovered the truth hidden in countless fragments.

"Why can't you save Frey? Why, as a turning point in the world, you have saved so many people, but you can't save Frey? Answer me!!! Hero Siegfried!!!" Yes, Kira clearly saw the world without Siegfried. The dream in Berlin was not just a simple dream but a real timeline. It was the appearance of Siegfried that changed many people and many things, but the only thing that did not change was the fate of Frey Alusta.

"Destiny is a two-phase thing. Whether it's Bakilulu or Thor, it's because they have the courage to change their destiny that the result is changed. And what did you, the strongest adjuster, do?"

Under the reflection of the crystal, Kira and Siegfried's spirits seemed to resonate. With the reversal of the timeline, without any warning, the Mendel Research Institute in CE54 appeared nakedly before their eyes.

"Doctor, this batch of fertilized eggs failed again."

"What did Mrs. Klein say?"

"She is willing to support the Tuner Project."

The blurry figure flashed by like a slide. Siegfried and Kira were stunned for a moment before they realized that the man in white was one of the instigators of the CE tragedy, Yulian Xiang.

"Then seal up the identical twins and hand them over to Researcher Aura for specialized adjustments. We don't have much time. The Blue Universe gang has already set their sights on this place. We must complete the perfect adjustment plan as soon as possible!"

The scene changed, and inside the artificial ZG, a fully grown baby was floating with its eyes closed. As the amniotic fluid was discharged, the baby opened its eyes after a cry. Although there were no conspicuous features, Kira felt for some reason that the baby's eyes seemed to be looking at him.

"I finally succeeded. My child is the most perfect adjuster. This is the end point of human evolution!"

"Doctor, it will be too late if we don't leave now. The Yamato couple are just ordinary people."

"Let's destroy the information here. Al Frada is dead anyway, so this research institute is no longer valuable."

“That leaves the samples.”

"Destroy them all, leaving no one behind."

Looking at Yulian Xiang's indifferent expression, Kira subconsciously reached out to stop him. The next second, he was surprised to find that he had the feeling of "touching real objects". This discovery slowed down his pace, and Yulian Xiang seemed to have noticed something. He stopped and kept looking at the empty laboratory.

"Strange. Is it my illusion?"

After a moment, Yulian Xiang shook his head and walked out, leaving dozens of petri dishes in the laboratory gradually swallowed by darkness. In a trance, Kira seemed to find that the appearance of a white-haired girl and a red-haired boy in the two petri dishes closest to him was so familiar.

"How about it? As long as you kill Yulian Hibiki now, then Hilde and I will not be born, and there will be no transformers in your world. But Aslan will kill Thor, and you will kill Nygal, and Bakilulu will die on the Archangel, Mia will die, Stella will die, and Miri will not have children at all. If you want the world to return to its original point, now is the time. Do it, Kira."

The red figure folded his arms across his chest, Siegfried habitually raised the corners of his mouth in mockery, but from an angle Kira couldn't see, his eyes were unprecedentedly calm and relieved.
