Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2049 The Origin of the Divine Messenger!
"A divine messenger? What is this person's background?"

He Ming frowned, vaguely guessing why Shana had stayed in the Mediterranean.

Because of his childhood experiences, he did not believe that any gods existed in the world.

Therefore, the divine messenger, who used the name of the gods to win over the rebel revolutionaries and create new conflicts, became Setsuna's primary target.

"Hmm. Currently, the only information available about this divine messenger is from before the ELS War. After the ELS War, he disappeared. It wasn't until Earth was dragged into this chaotic and volatile world that he began to operate openly under the name of the divine messenger, gathering a group of innovators and wealthy political and business figures who were obsessed with the power of innovators and sought ways to become innovators to serve him."

Kujo Lisa opened the information about the divine messenger and showed it to He Ming and the others for review.

"Charles III? That's that man's full name?"

Looking at the unremarkable man on the screen, He Ming's doubts grew even stronger.

"According to known intelligence, this divine messenger is a war orphan whose parents and relatives all died in various conflicts related to the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Therefore, his name has changed a lot and he does not have a very accurate name or identity."

Lisa Kujo was also surprised by this.

Despite VEDA's terrifying intelligence-gathering capabilities, they were still unable to ascertain the origins of this divine messenger.

This is simply unbelievable.

"No, it's not that VEDA couldn't find information about this divine messenger. It's that this divine messenger was already dead before the ELS war."

He Ming keenly noticed the loophole in the middle.

Given VEDA's pervasive intelligence network, there is no intelligence that VEDA cannot find among living humans.

No matter how well this so-called divine messenger tries to conceal his identity, he probably won't be able to escape the surveillance of the quasi-Innovators network connected to VEDA.

Therefore, the only possibility is that this divine messenger died for unknown reasons at some point before the ELS war.

Even with its immeasurable computing power and vast resources, VEDA would not devote much attention or resources to a human who is already dead and has become a cold corpse.

Before the ELS war, there was a catastrophe that affected all of humanity.

"Luanfeng, do you mean those remnants of the legion from back then?"

“No. I believe in the Louise family’s determination. But that doesn’t mean no one will covet the Legion’s legacy.”

He Ming's words implied that he had already stripped away most of the mystery surrounding this so-called divine messenger.

"Pioneer, I'm launching the operation immediately!"

As the two were talking, an unfamiliar voice came from the crowd.

Everyone looked and saw a handsome young man with golden eyes.

“VEDA? I didn’t expect you to show up in person.”

He Ming immediately recognized the handsome young man as a potential Innovator controlled by VEDA.

The handsome young man bowed slightly and greeted He Ming.

"After all, it is the return of the pioneers, and we must make our stance clear. Now, we will act in accordance with the will of the pioneers and carry out the investigation."

"Yes. Please. Yes, there's no need to worry too much about whether the legions have already appeared on a large scale."

He Ming offered a reminder.

"Does the Pioneer mean that the divine messenger was resurrected based on the remains of the Legion, and that it is a rare exception?"

"Perhaps! If the legions really did appear on such a large scale, then why didn't Celestial Being and the Federation (Gundam 00) detect the slightest sign of it for so long?"

The question-and-answer session between He Ming and the handsome young man caused many members of Tianren to fall into deep thought.

"Is it a rare case? And this rare case, once discovered by the Ghost Faces, became a source of conflict among them?"

Kujo Lisa gradually understood the reason behind it.

"Yes, very likely. Therefore, what we need to do now is to send this dead man back to the underworld as soon as possible." Just as the Celestials were exchanging information, Sergei and Commander Jin, who had ended a battle without incident, arrived at a prison cell inside the Celestial Pillar Space Station.

"Sergei, that boy specifically asked to see you. Any leads?"

Commander Kim frowned deeply, indicating that the person he was about to face was very difficult.

"No. I have no clue. I didn't know him at all before I came back here."

Sergei shook his head.

"Perhaps what we are most familiar with is that clash of brain quantum waves just now."

"is it?"

Commander Jin sighed.

"If I could be a change agent, I wouldn't be so troubled. Those people are really difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry! Leave it to me, Commander Jin."

Sergei nodded to Commander Kim and then signaled the soldiers in front to open the door.

Upon entering the room, Sergei saw the boy who was bound to a brain quantum wave shielding device.

"Sergei Smirnov. I've heard so much about you."

The other person greeted Sergei as soon as they saw him.

Sergei pulled up a chair and sat down opposite the boy.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before we start talking, young man?"

At the same time, Commander Jin also came to the next room and monitored the situation inside the room with a number of technicians.

"Commander Jin. This rebel is the most powerful innovator in terms of brain quantum wave index among the rebel members we have captured. We are currently controlling him using the highest level of brain quantum wave shielding system."

The technicians proactively explained to Commander Jin the origin of the device that restrained the boy.

"Okay. Keep a close watch! Be ready to provide support for Colonel Sergei at any time."

"Yes!"

Inside the room, the boy glanced subtly at Commander Jin's room before a smile gradually appeared on his face.

“Excuse me, Colonel Sergei. I am Lor, a page from the Divine Messenger.”

"A pageboy?"

Sergei's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak. Instead, he stared directly into the eyes of the boy who called himself Lor.

A short while later, the other party took the initiative to show weakness.

"As expected of the Wild Bear! I surrender. I can tell you all the information you want, but you must help me meet someone, someone who is crucial to the Earth and to humanity."

"Colonel Sergei, grant his request."

Before Sergei could speak, a voice came from the other end of the headset.

Sergei's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, he nodded.

"We don't know who you want to see. We'll find a way to make it happen."

“Of course. This is a very simple matter for you, isn’t it, Colonel Sergei?”

Lor gradually began to smile.

"The person I want to meet is the pioneer! The pioneer of the celestial beings!"
