Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2020: The World's Will Descends!
Inside the cockpit of the Banshee Gundam, which was shrouded in azure light, He Ming's right hand suddenly lit up with a red light that clashed with the surrounding azure glow.

The red light, from the moment it appeared, rose slowly from He Ming's right hand like a bird spreading its wings, eventually settling in front of his forehead.

This is the CODE given to He Ming by the collective consciousness of C, and it is also a power that He Ming does not want to possess, but at this moment, this power has been activated again.

"It seems that I have arrived at the right time."

CC's voice came from the code, which sounded like a bird in flight.

"I thought you had run away!"

He Ming replied.

"How ruthless! Colonel Ming."

CC's figure emerged from the void and stood beside He Ming. At the same time, the terrifying giant sword that was slashing downwards seemed to have been paused as if a pause button had been pressed.

"You and the collective consciousness orchestrated this whole thing, aren't you afraid of being targeted by the Ghost Faces?"

When asked about the name, CC's shadow shrugged and gestured towards his neck.

"The sword is already at my neck. What else can I do? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been called back by the collective consciousness."

Having said that, CC's shadow raised its head and stared at the terrifying giant sword that was falling.

"When I get back from the world of C, you'll have to make it up to me."

"Of course!"

He Ming nodded and answered readily.

"Then, it's a date!"

As CC's shadow faded away, the flow of time returned to normal.

The CODE emblem that had been hovering over He Ming's forehead quickly disappeared into his forehead. Then, a fleeting red light appeared in He Ming's eyes and merged with the golden vortex in his eyes.

"Announce the bad news! A full-force attack!!"

The Banshee Gundam responded to He Ming's call with all her might, without reservation.

The twelve crystalline floating shields surrounding the Banshee Gundam converged one after another at an extremely fast speed in front of the Banshee Gundam's sword hilt, pushing the particle beam blade released by the Banshee Gundam at this moment to a longer, larger, and more powerful state.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a giant beam sword extending behind the Banshee Gundam, breaking through one kilometer, several kilometers, and even tens of kilometers, took shape.

Then, the beam sword, wielded by the Banshee Gundam whose entire body was covered in crystals, collided from bottom to top with the terrifying giant sword slashed down by the Petal Giant.

"boom!!!"

The moment the two swords clashed, all electronic equipment on the battlefield instantly crashed.

Both warships and mobile suits were plunged into darkness at that moment.

The only places with access to light were the bridge, which allowed the naked eye to see the outside world, and the crew members near the portholes.

However, they had already lost control of their bodies when the petal giant unleashed that terrifying giant sword, and were completely unable to control their eyes to observe what was happening.

On the entire battlefield, besides He Ming, there was only Iron Face and CC, who influenced the petal giant controlled by Iron Face through the world of C.

"The will of the world?"

Ironface had no time to care about why Banshee Gundam was able to block this world-destroying sword; he only knew to stare intently at the shadow that appeared in front of him, CC's shadow.

"You're quite clever. It seems those people have told you quite a bit."

CC sneered and snapped his fingers. A heavy, irresistible force suddenly descended upon Iron Mask, almost crushing its will on the spot. However, Iron Mask had undergone extreme enhancement and could no longer be described as human.

After a moment of distraction, his will returned, and he developed a slight resistance to the will suppression exerted by CC.

"Oh? It seems you can't be described as human either. But then again, if you were just an ordinary human, why would those ghost-faced thugs have bothered with you!"

"Snapped!"

As the sound of something cutting through the air approached, several shadows scattered CC's figure, but they could not affect him.

"Heh! It's useless. I'm not in the real world right now. Your little gadgets, well, they're quite wicked, can't hurt me."

CC seemed to sense something, and after glancing up, the smile on her face grew even colder.

"It seems we underestimated your value to the Ghostfaces. They've come to the rescue! But it's too late."

CC snapped his fingers again, and Ironface shuddered as he was instantly suppressed by an even heavier and more irresistible pressure, even losing control of the petal giant.

"Insanity!"

Just as CC was further stripping away the control of the petal giant from the armor, a thunderous roar exploded, causing CC's shadow to shake violently.

"Oh? You've arrived pretty quickly! Ghost Faces."

CC quickly created some distance, looking at the masked man who appeared in front of the armored man.

"World Will, are you here to hinder us?"

The other party's questioning made CC laugh instead of get angry.

"Are you all so naive? You wiped out an entire family, and you won't even allow them to resist?"

"This is your destiny! A destiny you cannot defy!"

"joke!!"

CC roared, his killing intent surging, startling the opponent who was wearing an iron-clad mask and immediately put on a defensive stance.

However, this was just a feint by CC.

After scaring the opponent away, CC withdrew his power without hesitation, completely escaping from Ironface and the Ghost Face's group of executives.

Because her original intention was not to kill Ironface, but to interfere with the opponent's control of the Petal Giant and create an opportunity for Heming's attack.

And now, the opportunity has come!

The moment CC's shadow vanished, a ray of light tore through the darkness before Ironface and the Ghost Face's group of executives, enveloping them in an unstoppable light of destruction.

"Damn it!"

The Ghost Face gang members who tried to stop CC were shocked. After quickly glancing at Iron Face, they abandoned him without hesitation and disappeared into a crack amidst Iron Face's despairing gaze.

"No!!! You can't betray me!! Damn Ghost Faces!!!"

"boom!!!"

In that instant, Iron Mask seemed to see many scenes.

These scenes depict the joy of young success and achievement, the determination to be moved by Mazia Rona's aristocratic ideals and willing to join his cause, and the anger of being betrayed by his wife.

But all the joy, emotion, anger, and even hatred that came with becoming Ironface were destroyed in this instant by the massive beam of light that pierced through the body of the petal giant, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul drifting away, waiting for the final moment of complete annihilation.

The existence of the Ironclad Mask was completely erased at this moment!
