Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1267 The secret story from six hundred years ago!
"Your Majesty Andun, may I ask what happened to this world? Shouldn't the Devil Gundam have already been destroyed?"

Unlike He Ming, Didelina did not have a clear understanding of the past context of this world, nor the basis for general reasoning based on it. Therefore, after seeing the Sky Knight she had found, she finally couldn't help but ask about her doubts.

Anduin walked slowly forward and came to the tombstone.

It was at this time that He Ming and Didlina saw that the Sky Knight who had been missing for nearly six hundred years and reappeared was not a flesh and blood body, but a shadow between reality and illusion.

"Don't be surprised! In fact, I am already dead. At least, that's right in the body."

When Anduin saw Deedlina's eyes that seemed to indicate she had sensed something but was afraid to confirm it, he knew that she had guessed his current state.

"The reason I came to this world is related to the culprit that caused the world to become what it is now."

As he spoke, Anduin looked at Didelina and He Ming.

"I don't know what you call them now?"

Didelina didn't react for a moment, but He Ming had already guessed it.

"Ghost Faces. Lord Anduin, are you talking about the Ghost Faces?"

"Ghost Faces? That's a very appropriate name. I guess they named it themselves."

Anduin smiled coldly, his expression sometimes disdainful and sometimes solemn.

"I think you have already discovered that although the speed of time in the Star Sea and the mission time is different, generally speaking, they are still within an acceptable level. However, there is an extremely terrifying gap between the speed of time in this world and that in the Star Sea."

Having said that, Anduin raised his hand, but then slowly put it down, looking at Didrina with eyes full of sighs.

"In Domon Kashu's concept of time, this world has already spent three hundred years on the brink of doomsday. In the Star Sea, I'm afraid it has far exceeded this number."

"Six hundred years. Your Highness Anduin, six hundred years have passed since you disappeared."

Didelina understood the sadness in Anduin's eyes.

When she was a child, just old enough to pick up the wooden sword provided for elf children to train, Anduin, who came to visit her, loved to stroke little Didelina's head and praise her growth after a day of training.

Six hundred years have passed since Andun's disappearance.

When they met again, the little Didelina had grown into a heroic Sky Knight reserve.

But the Sky Knight Andun, who once dominated the starry sea, has become like a ghost.

"Six hundred years already? I never expected that after that battle, I would be trapped in this world for six hundred years."

Anduin shook his head, sighed, and said meaningfully.

"Deedlina, don't worry about it. This world has been blocked by those people, the Ghost Faces, using some unknown technology between the abyss and reality. The reason you appear here is probably because you got something, right?"

"Data chip?"

He Ming's eyes lit up and he understood immediately.

"Is that data chip released by you, Your Highness Anduin?"

"Yes and no. At that time, I just happened to take advantage of the opportunity when Joelsh de Sander sent his butler out of the battlefield to put the data chip that only the Sky Knight can use on Raymond Bisso."

Hearing this, He Ming suddenly remembered the drinking contest at the bar that day.

"Your Highness Anduin, are you the only one who knows about the existence of that data chip?" Anduin was stunned, then nodded.

"Yes. Only Sky Knights can use data chips of that specification, and the only ones who know of its existence are the fortress's main control AI Velos and the captains of each legion."

"Really? Then I understand."

He Ming nodded, indicating that he no longer had any doubts.

Although Anduin was a little confused, he didn't say much.

From the huge difference in the speed of time flow between the two worlds, to the fact that He Ming and Didlina brought Raymond Bisso to break through the blockade and come here, it seems that someone is influencing or even manipulating something behind the scenes.

Anduin and He Ming knew this very well, but they did not point it out.

"By the way, the reason why I discovered the traces of the Ghost Face Clan six hundred years ago and tracked them to this world was because of a revelation."

"Revelation?"

Anduin's change of subject was effective, immediately drawing Didrina's attention to the so-called revelation.

"Yes. Revelation from the wind."

Anduin nodded, and then explained the reason why he suddenly disappeared six hundred years ago.

It was a routine battle to clear the aftermath of the abyss in the world ruled by the Morningwind elves.

According to the battle plan, this battle would not last long.

But in the course of the battle, Andun, who had completed his mission, suddenly had a feeling. After entrusting the task of commanding the fleet's return to his trusted subordinates, he went deep into the abyss area that had not yet been cleared alone.

It's strange to say.

In the increasingly dense aura of the abyss, which should not have been felt, except for driving people crazy, corroding their minds, and eventually causing all creatures to lose their sanity and twist into hideous monsters, Anduin could sense the guidance from the "wind".

Moreover, as he went deeper into the abyss, this guidance became clearer and brighter.

Until he found a group of figures that shouldn't be there in the core area of ​​the abyss, which was enough to drive any creature into madness or even destruction in an instant.

"Ghost Faces? Your Highness Anduin, have you seen their true faces?"

Didelina asked quickly.

Anduin was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I didn't see it very clearly. But I still caught the appearance of one of them. Moreover, she is one of the culprits who made this world become like this. The capture of Dongfang Bubai and the large-scale birth of Devil Gundam were also her work."

As Andun raised his hand, a picture made of flowing light gradually appeared in front of He Ming and Didlina.

"Perhaps, six hundred years ago, she was the leader of the Ghost Face Group that you know today, or at least, one of the first members to form the Ghost Face Group."

He Ming took a closer look and his expression suddenly changed.

Green hair and blue eyes, green tight long skirt, small leather jacket...
Is this the important character who has had an active record in several generations of Super Robot Wars and even influenced the development of the plot - Lamia Labres?
Could the true identity of the Ghost Faces be Shadow Mirror?
Or maybe Shadow Mirror is just a member of the Ghost Face Clan? !
