Because a mythical creature suddenly appeared in their sight!!!
Everyone in the conference hall looked stiff and stared blankly at the pure white, beautiful figure standing atop the massive warship.
Her figure was radiantly beautiful, like a dream, with three pairs of pure white wings spread behind her, emanating a pure light untouched by any speck of dust.
As she prayed, her divine power emanated from behind, resonating with the sisters and forming a Holy Cross symbol.
The overall design is both beautiful and sacred, and inviolable.
"......What's this?"
Looking at everything on the screen, everyone's expressions were not very good. Each person had their own behavior and different thoughts.
But among them, the expressions of Tendo Kikunojo, the president of Sima Heavy Industries, and his daughter Sima Miori were the most interesting.
Kikunojo Tendo stared at the "angel" on the screen, his face already ashen, his dark pupils filled with gloom.
Sima Weizhi raised the folding fan in her hand to cover the lower half of her mouth, which was agape in shock.
Damn, first there was a suspected alien warship, and now there's a mythical angel creature. The contrast is just too much!
"An alien invasion, or Judgment Day?!"
While everyone was shocked to varying degrees by the images on the screen and had various thoughts, Sima Miori, having regained her senses, parted her cherry lips slightly and spoke in disbelief in her Yamato Nadeshiko-like voice.
"...Playing tricks!!"
The Tokyo Defense Minister in the conference room, a middle-aged man who also belonged to the Tendo family and was promoted by Tendo Kikunojo, looked at the scene on the screen with hatred and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
With their military satellite destroyed, their military was essentially blinded, and he, as the minister in charge of defense affairs, also bears inescapable responsibility.
This was undoubtedly a disastrous disaster for his political career; how could he not hate it!
"Your Majesty, Lord Kikunojo, I propose we use the Heavenly Ladder to take down these guys who destroyed our satellite!"
"If we can obtain the wreckage of these warships, Tokyo will definitely be able to turn the tide!"
The Defense Minister's face was grim, his eyes cold as he stared at the warships on the screen, his gaze burning with greed. Even obtaining just a little of the technology contained within these warships, capable of reaching outer space, would be immensely beneficial.
The so-called "sky ladder" is actually an electromagnetic projection device.
The railgun module, capable of firing metal projectiles with a diameter of less than 800mm at sub-light speed, has not been actually used in Gastrea warfare, but he had seen experimental data showing half of its power.
The others' eyes lit up upon hearing this, and Kikunojo Tendo also looked at the warship on the screen with a rather fiery gaze, but he quickly shook his head and concealed the emotions in his eyes.
The suggestion is good, but they probably don't have much ability to implement it.
"this......"
Upon hearing the Minister of Defense's suggestion, the Holy Emperor looked at the massive warship on the screen with some hesitation.
"I reject this proposal!"
Sima Weizhi's father, a middle-aged man with a small mustache, glanced coldly at the Minister of Defense, then, meeting the gazes of the crowd, explained in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:
"Although the Sky Ladder is extremely powerful, it has not been officially used in the Gastrea Wars, and it has not been maintained in recent years. Whether it can be used normally is still uncertain."
"Besides, there's more than one warship in the outer sky. How many do you think we can take down with our resources? And I simply don't believe that these massive warships, which are constructed like war fortresses, don't have weapon systems!"
Hearing this person's analysis and discussion, everyone's burning passion was suppressed by the cold and cruel reality.
Although the Defense Minister was very unhappy that this guy rejected his proposal, he had to admit that the other party's analysis was reasonable.
Moreover, looking at the massive and magnificent structure of the warship on the screen, no one present dared to say that this huge warship had no offensive capabilities.
The words of the president of Sima Heavy Industries, the world's largest arms company, carry significant weight and deserve everyone's attention.
"...I think President Sima is right. Moreover, this woman who can survive in outer space is obviously preparing for something. I believe everyone here has the same ominous feeling as me, right?"
Kikunojo Tendo stroked his graying beard as he looked at the angel on the screen, who was in a prayer state. Although the scene looked sacred and beautiful, he felt a chill inexplicably in his heart after seeing it.
Moreover, even the Holy Emperor was the same. When others saw the woman's beautiful and sacred appearance, Tendo Kikunojo did not see any amazement in anyone's eyes. Instead, they all trembled at the first moment.
"The only place that can be connected to this 'alien' force is Osaka. I think these guys are the ones who will take over Osaka in a short time."
As Kikunojo Tendo spoke, the image on the screen changed to Osaka.
On the screen, images of Osaka as it is today, captured by various people, were displayed to everyone.
A massive, humanoid mecha, a flash of light across the sky...
No matter how you look at it, it's easy to connect Osaka's current situation with a scenario in outer space.
"Kikuno-jo-kei, from what you're saying, you've already taken action against Osaka, haven't you?"
The Holy Emperor looked at the composed Tendou Kikunojo. Although the question was phrased as a doubt, his tone was full of certainty.
Based on her understanding of Kikunojo Tendo's capabilities, this minister who was assisting her must have already taken action.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you have already taken action, but there is still no news."
Kikunojo Tendo is highly proactive; this time, he's not only gathering intelligence but also trying to see if he can communicate with this unknown force.
Meanwhile, in the outer suburbs of Osaka, the cursed child has vanished.
Now, apart from the children of the Initiators, all the others in the Osaka area have been taken in by Reiji, and the outer perimeter area no longer has the sight of those lovely and innocent children.
However, an unpleasant fellow has secretly infiltrated this place today.
"Crash-"
Peeking out from the dense grass, the boy with jet-black, tousled hair and melancholy eyes calmly looked at the outer area not far in front of him, which seemed to have been completely devoid of any trace of the cursed children.
Rentaro Satomi received orders from his adoptive father to investigate the situation in the Osaka area as much as possible, and if possible, to communicate with the forces that control Osaka. If not, he should focus all his efforts on gathering intelligence.
Rentai Lang had already seen the Osaka area in the outer perimeter, where some incredibly beautiful women led a large group of cyborg-like creatures to clear out a large number of Gastrea outside the giant stone monument.
He had already recorded the terrifying combat abilities of those guys; their technological means were far beyond what was possible in this era.
Moreover, quite a few people have died in the Osaka area in the past few days due to the riots. Rentaro even saw a group of people using a truck to transport a large number of men and women's corpses and burn them together.
Almost immediately after the change of leadership in Osaka, a number of people died in the Osaka area every day.
Thinking of this, Rentaro Satomi clenched his hands.
Those people may have broken the law, but they should be punished by the law. Moreover, such unreasonable killing is simply insane.
He insisted on recording all of this and then taking it back to expose it.
Looking at the ruins before him, the boy recalled the words of his guardian, who was also the butler of the Tiantong family.
"The forces in the Osaka area are closely linked to the previous destruction of the nation's satellites. The military strength and technology they have openly displayed are absolutely capable of doing such a thing. If they harbor evil ambitions, then we must gather evidence and stop them!!"
After comparing the advanced military technology in the Osaka area, Rentaro Satomi gradually came to believe this conjecture.
The emergence of a force possessing such extraordinary technology is both mysterious and suspicious.
Rentaro Satomi's sense of justice would never allow such behavior to endanger the majority.
Thinking of this, Rentaro clenched his fists, lowered his body, and slowly moved towards the outer perimeter area in front of him.
He had scouted the area and gathered intelligence; the mysterious group not only patrolled the city but also hunted and captured Gastrea outside the Great Stone Monument.
After confirming that there were no hidden sentries around, Rentaro immediately discovered huge footprints on the ground outside the barrier of the giant stone monument.
Those are the footprints of those massive steel machines!
Rentaro was very familiar with the shapes of those giant mechs, and only they could have left such a huge footprint.
Following the footprints, Rentaro began to lighten his steps and try to suppress the sound of his footsteps as he started tracking.
However, as he continued his pursuit, Rentaro Satomi soon realized something was wrong. The footprints on the soil looked fresh, but why could he only see footprints and no other traces?
Rentaro Satomi stopped for a moment, looking down at the huge footprint in front of him with a frown.
Something's not right! Those steel-clad troops are always led by a woman, so why didn't he find any normal human footprints?
"boom!"
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps pounding the ground came from around Rentaro Satomi.
As Rentaro Satomi stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost, footprints suddenly appeared on the ground around him, and they even surrounded him.
"call!!"
Just then, Rentaro felt a gust of wind behind him. He quickly rolled forward and felt a burning sensation suddenly appear behind him as he bent over. Almost instinctively, he raised his pistol, aimed at his back, and fired a shot!
"boom!"
Amidst the sparks flying, Rentaro saw only a burst of energy erupting from the empty air before him, and within it, he saw a human-shaped shadow.
"Invisibility or optical cloaking!?"
Seeing this, Rentaro finally understood why he hadn't seen anyone. But as he figured out the truth, his face turned grim as he thought of the large footprints surrounding him.
If nothing unexpected happens, it seems I'm surrounded...
"Om-"
A slight buzzing sound arose, and the previously empty surroundings seemed to draw back the curtain, revealing a hidden, ferocious figure.
A large group of humanoid mechs, their eyes flashing red, appearing as if they were wearing armor and wielding molten guns and chainsaw swords.
There were also several girls dressed in black gothic dresses, with dark eye masks covering the upper half of their faces, making it impossible to discern their full group.
But the lower half of her face, which was only partially visible, was breathtakingly exquisite. Combined with her striking short white hair, the girl possessed a very peculiar beauty.
However, the other party was holding a high-frequency wave blade that terrified Rentaro, which was pointing directly at him and had almost cleaved him in two just now.
The shallow wound revealed by the cut in his clothes on his back was bleeding and the cold wind blowing through it was causing Rentaro a constant stinging pain.
Looking at the large men surrounding him with guns and the formidable android in front of him, Rentaro Satomi gritted his teeth.
He didn't want to be captured; he still had intelligence to pass on, but now he was clearly checkmated.
"lay down your weapon!"
Holding a high-frequency blade capable of easily slicing through anything in this world, the combat-type android 2B spoke in an icy tone.
Large men wielding hot melt guns and chainsaw swords approached and surrounded them with heavy steps.
No more hesitation, let's go for it!
"Drink! Tendo-style Combat Technique, Second Form, Sixteenth Chapter..."
Seeing the large creatures surrounding him, Rentaro roared and instantly assumed his battle stance.
Using the fighting techniques of the Tendo family, Rentaro directly chose the woman in front of him as a breakthrough point to escape.
