Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 763 Bridges of the World

"If we compare each independent world to a house, then the second world that Lacus and Kira traveled to is more like a bridge."

"bridge?"

Because there were non-professionals like Mia present, Hilde didn't explain the content in a particularly professional way, and she always held back in her attitude towards Lux.

Even though the multiverse is no longer a secret to Lux, Hilde still hasn't revealed her and Siegfried's true identities. In a sense, this reflects Hilde's somewhat harsh, one-size-fits-all attitude towards relationships.

Despite her efforts to keep the explanations simple, one ignorant younger brother, with an air of "I'm uncultured but I'm proud of it," still raised his hand and asked a question. Hilde was about to throw the laser pointer at him, but seeing Cagalli and Mina looking equally bewildered, she could only rub her temples and try to organize her thoughts again.

"Lux, you should be well aware of the existence of Newtypes. Unlike Coordinators, which are artificial creations, Newtypes are the true darlings of the universe. They are humanity's first solid and firm step towards the vast universe. And that world was created by a Newtype. It exists independently of all timelines, which is why it faces the threat of repairing the main timeline."

"I see."

After a second explanation, even Siegfried understood the core of his older sister's argument. Combined with the mysterious Elmes, Siegfried won first place in the "Guess which Newtype is using its powers" contest in less than a second.

Lara Singh, a female Newtype whom Char considers his mother, makes perfect sense in creating a timeline without Amuro. Furthermore, Lacus stated that the mysterious summoning possessed distinctly feminine characteristics. Considering their mission is to protect Char from a mysterious force, Siegfried could only sigh to himself, 'I knew Char was a mother complex back then!'

After realizing that everyone had absorbed the first round of knowledge points, Teacher Hilde adjusted her non-prescription glasses and began the second round of instruction.

"Compared to the stability of the independent world, the structure of the bridge world is significantly more fragile, which is why I was able to open the wormhole using the power of technology. And the next piece of news I'm about to share is that this behavior can be repeated, meaning we can periodically travel to that bridge world."

The moment the words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked. Even though Mina and the others had already learned of Siegfried and his sister's transmigrator identities, they thought it was just an isolated case. Now, suddenly being announced that they might be connected to the two worlds for a long time, everyone fell into deep thought.

After all, the Human Revolutionary Alliance is still in a state of disrepair, the Earth Sphere is not yet unified, and it is unknown whether the three groups of people—Natural People, Innovators, and Adjusters—can coexist peacefully. Linking to another world like this is completely beyond the capacity of the current CE.

"Currently, the authority to open the gates should be in our hands. It seems that the other side cannot come over easily. The Mother of Creation has devoted all her energy to maintaining the basic operation of the world. In addition, the other side's chosen one is now in our hands, so please do not show any signs of having already lost."

"Can you stop talking so dramatically?" "You'll have no friends if you talk like that!"

Fortunately, seeing things through is a basic quality of a scientist. Noticing the somber atmosphere, Hilde didn't keep them in suspense but gave the answer directly.

After interrogating the two prisoners and conducting some research, she discovered that the other side seemed to lack the ability to independently open wormholes. Lara Singh was not an omnipotent being; maintaining the world's existence and dealing with the encirclement and suppression by the main timeline had already consumed a great deal of her energy.

"Therefore, if we need to go to Harman's world, we must rely on the help of the bridge. In any case, we cannot bypass Sharon's Rose. However, the initiative is in our hands. In addition, according to my analysis of the two MS, our world is far ahead in MS technology. However, our biggest weakness is that we do not have any Newtypes. Once we encounter Psycommu and Newtypes using their powers, the technological side will immediately turn into the supernatural side. At that time, apart from Siegfried and Shin Asuka, the competition will not be about technology, but about metaphysics."

As participants in the UC era, Siegfried and Lacus were well aware of how unreasonable Newtypes could be when they unleashed their powers. Siegfried's One Year War was not the peak of their power-wielding, but he had personally witnessed the Newtypes of the Z and ZZ eras being able to use their minds to become immune to beams.

Moreover, the era Lacus experienced was already in the early stages of the Gryps War, when various Psycommu mobile suits had begun to flourish. Kira had noticed the Qubeley's abnormalities more than once during training sessions with Haman. It was just that the two of them didn't have time to participate in the final battle between the AEUG and the Titans. Otherwise, even without the Watermelon Ice, the Zeta Gundam could have let Kira experience just how unreasonable the Newtype's soul-summoning constitution is.

Perhaps inspired by the Newtypes, Kira did not come to Orofatu with Lacus after his return. He disembarked with Hilde before his injuries had healed and stayed at the GN Particle Research Institute. According to Hilde, Kira had given up his identity as an MS pilot and completely switched to being a researcher.

It turns out that gene editing technology is not the direction of human evolution. Kira, who has witnessed the new humans firsthand, is certain that gene editing technology is the poisoned apple in the fairy tale. Once humanity really gambles its future on gene editing, unless Kira can rewrite the human gene lineage, his world will have no future.

Fortunately, Siegfried brought a glimmer of hope for change. In some ways, the brain quantum waves of the Innovators are similar to the senses of the New Humans, which gave Kira hope of solving the deadlock of the CE race. With gene editing technology no longer able to optimize, proving the future of the Innovators became Kira's main research topic.

In addition, Kira still carries the title of an accomplice of the Compass, so choosing scientific research is a kind of alternative anonymity. In fact, if Hilde is willing to give Kira a chance to be credited in future scientific research results, it would be a natural result for the forgetful public to forget his dark history as a member of the Compass.

Siegfried, who was among the first to know about Kira's retirement, once told Lacus that Kira's retirement was somewhat of a waste of his incredible skills. However, Lacus's response became the main reason why he showed his helplessness in front of Cagalli after returning to Eurofatto.

"This is the future Kira wanted. So, Siegfried, where is the future you want?"
