Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Allelujah?"

Lockon was initially quite happy to see the Archangel Gundam arrive.

Not to mention that Allelujah's arrival has greatly strengthened our side's fighting power on this battlefield, we no longer need to worry about a potential fight breaking out after a verbal argument.

Of the four Gundam pilots, three came here intending to help Taliban resist the Union's atrocities.

Add to that the people on the Ptolemy's side, and you, Veda, should think twice before you try to punish everyone.

Is there a problem with how you gave the instructions? Should you reflect on whether you made a mistake?

But his joy was short-lived; before Lockon and Allelujah could even greet each other and tell each other what had happened, Lockon was already in a bad mood.

Good heavens! Lockon felt like his head was about to explode. What did he just hear?

Lockon heard Allelujah, who had just arrived on the battlefield, let out a bloodcurdling scream, as if he were being tortured on a tiger bench!

Looking around, Lockon was utterly confused. The problem was, no one had attacked Allelujah!

Who has the ability to injure someone from a distance?

Or does Alleluia have some unspeakable flaw?

Unable to understand anything, Lockon immediately switched the video feed, only to find the scene inside the Areluga cockpit causing his expression to change drastically.

Inside the cockpit of the Archangel, Allelujah was curled up in his seat, clutching his head. Saliva was uncontrollably dripping from his mouth, the whites of his eyes were rolling back, and his whole body was convulsing uncontrollably, as if his nerves were being gripped by an invisible hand.

Affected by Allelujah, the Archangel Gundam wobbled and crashed erratically in mid-air, with Veda-assisted control prompts constantly popping up on the cockpit screen.

Without the quantum computer Veda as a backup, given the current out-of-control state of the Archangel Gundam, Lockon doubts that Char would have been able to act before it even got to him.

Allelujah himself was about to plunge into the sea with the Archangel Gundam, resulting in casualties during non-combat.

On the other side, almost at the same instant, when Areluya ran into trouble, one person in the Taliban army also experienced a drastic change in condition.

Piris, who was standing in front of the army formation and was filled with worry for Wang Ye, froze. Instantly, a sharp pain shot from the back of his head straight to the top of his head.

Super Soldier's proud brain quantum waves can bring her faster reaction speed and faster thinking efficiency.

But now these brain quantum waves are running wildly through her mind like disrupted radio waves.

Gritting his teeth, Piris took off his helmet and pinched his temples with his fingertips.

Unlike Allelujah, whose body was basically out of control, Piris was a finished product from the Human Reform League's super soldier laboratory, even though excruciating pain washed over his nerves like a tidal wave.

Now that she had hope and someone to follow, Piris forced herself to keep a straight back and not let out a scream. Only suppressed sobs in her throat betrayed the pain she was enduring.

This is so much better than the out-of-control situation in the original world's storyline!

She could withstand the pain caused by the interference of brain quantum waves in her consciousness, but she couldn't withstand the thug-like state that had lost Piris's control.

After all, the Mobster doesn't have Veda-assisted piloting; it relies entirely on the pilot's manual control. People like Wang Ye rely on their own hard skills to pilot MS in combat!

Therefore, the Thug, which Piris had no time to control, gradually lost lift as the joystick and power pedals could no longer receive commands from the pilot, and it plummeted into the sea like a lump of iron turtle.

"Piris!"

Seeing this, Anura let out a low shout and almost instinctively pushed the lever to dive towards the girl's mech.

Anura's mech quickly and precisely positioned itself next to Piris's mech, extending its arms to firmly grip Piris's thug-style shoulder armor, pulling him back from less than a hundred meters above the sea.

The two machines were suspended in mid-air, swaying precariously before finally regaining their footing.

"Um?"

Wang Ye, standing at the very front, appeared solemn, but in reality, this was the prelude he was setting for the next performance.

Allelujah, this guy who escaped from the Super Soldier Test Base will become Wang Ye's stepping stone to reach the Super Soldier Test Base.

But to the unsuspecting Lockon, everything took on a different interpretation.

He was already unsettled by Wang Ye's words, his mind filled with judgments like "adding fuel to the fire" and "not addressing the root cause."

Seeing Allelujah out of control and others on the opposing side also collapsing from exhaustion, Lockon instinctively assumed that the prolonged battle had drained the spirits of both sides' warriors.

Although, given Allelujah's ability to pass the Celestial Being pilot selection, this seems a bit illogical...

But considering the current situation, there's no point in dragging it out any longer.

Taking a deep breath, Lockon suppressed the chaos in his mind and first connected to Setsuna's communication.

"In an instant, grab Alleluia and prepare to evacuate."

"I'll cover their retreat to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos."

Upon hearing this, Setsuna in the Gundam Exia paused slightly, staring at the red Thug opposite him, his Adam's apple bobbing.

At that moment, I realized I still had some questions I hadn't asked clearly, such as what kind of peace Wang Ye, who used the alias Xia Ya, saw in his heart.

The other side believes that the Celestials should act in a way that truly deserves to eradicate war!

He hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the Archangel Gundam's wobbly movements, and then at Lockon's tense profile, before finally swallowing his words.

Gundam Exia slowly stepped forward, supported the Gundam Archangel's fuselage, and was about to take Allelujah away.

Seeing the two leave in an instant, and noticing that Wang Ye indeed had no intention of pursuing them, Lockon, whose feelings towards Wang Ye had suddenly improved, spoke again.

This time, his tone wasn't as harsh as before.

"I hope that next time I see you, we can still stand together."

Adults always leave things unsaid, and Lockon watched the other person leave after hearing his words.

Wang Ye left the other party with a question.

"As long as you are fighting for true peace and justice, one day you will stand with us."

"True peace and justice? For us?"

Chewing on the meaning behind those words, Lockon laughed freely, and then without lingering, he quickly caught up with the two who had already retreated.

Only after the Gundam disappeared completely from the sky did Wang Ye withdraw his gaze and turn to look at Piris, who was being supported by Anura beside him.

The interference from the brain quantum waves was gradually fading as Areluya moved further away, and Piris's breathing gradually became steady.

Upon seeing this, Wang Ye's expression became quite subtle.

Speaking of which, why would the Human Revolutionary Alliance, one of the three major powers, have such a scandalous story as super-soldier experiments?

This is completely contrary to the tradition of the People's Revolutionary Union, if it weren't for Piris being right in front of him.

That kind of smear campaign seems more like a malicious attempt by someone to defame the People's Revolutionary Alliance!

However, now was clearly not the time to consider this issue. Clearing his mind of all sorts of thoughts, Wang Ye managed to control his facial expression.

Then the red mob slowly rose, and Wang Ye flew to the front of the formation, raising his longsword high towards the Taliban coast.

"Gentlemen—"

His voice resonated through the receivers of every machine and reached the ears of everyone within the gravity zone who were watching the situation in Taliban.

"The Union fleet has been defeated."

"Taliban has held out."

"Today, at this very moment, you have personally opened the door to the future of Taliban."

"From now on, you can proudly tell your descendants, 'Taliban! They have stood up!'"

As soon as the words were spoken, after a brief silence, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted.

Only at this point did all the surviving Taliban soldiers believe that they had won.

"Char, Char, Char!"

The constant chanting of Char's name was their sincerest gratitude, and their shouts of Char's name inspired even more people to recite it.

Char's name is spreading throughout Taliban, and when it spreads to the entire Gravity Circle.

It seems that many people in dire straits have seen a new hope.
