Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Tieria!"

Overjoyed, Allelujah wept; heaven knows how excited he was at that moment.

Imagine how devastated he must have felt when his Archangel Gundam faced the Iron Man wielding restraints.

In an instant, Allelujah seemed to return to his childhood, when he was still in the Human Reform League's super soldier experimental facility.

Back then, I was constantly confined by a straitjacket made of thick canvas!

What I just experienced was like a replay of a childhood nightmare!

Therefore, when Allelujah saw Tieria descending from the heavens, no one could understand the overwhelming excitement he felt at that moment.

Tears and snot mixed with bloodstains all over his face.

Allelujah, it's as if I really saw an angel...

"You talk as if you're not human."

However, Allelujah's excitement quickly vanished because Wang Ye's voice, whom he considered a demon, popped up on the channel again.

"what?"

Alleluia suddenly realized something.

It seems, perhaps, maybe?

Was Tieria speaking on the international aid channel just now?

"Tieria, we have rules; even our voices can't be leaked..."

"Shut up!"

In fact, Tieria had already realized that she had broken the rules.

However, he valued his dignity as a Celestial Being pilot, and Tieria was particularly concerned about this identity, in addition to always believing that he was the true successor of Aeolia.

Then, seeing Allelujah beaten up like this, and Gundam being so ridiculed and disregarded by Wang Ye...

How can Tieria tolerate this?

In a fit of rage, Tieria almost lost all reason in that instant!

"Humans!"

His tone was extremely harsh, and Allelujah opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Tieria turned her head and looked at Wang Ye, who was carrying the thermal axe.

Since she had already spoken on the public channel, Tieria didn't mind saying a few more words.

In short, the majesty of the Celestials and the majesty of Gundam must never be defiled.

Not even the slightest bit!

"So, you're not human?"

"Or do you guys in the Celestial Being organization really all think of yourselves as gods who can judge humanity from a high and mighty position?"

With a light laugh, Wang Ye elegantly manipulated the special-equipped iron man to toss the axe in his hand.

"A god? No... I am merely the inheritor of Aeolia Schhanbeck's will!"

As she spoke, the GN Drive of the Virtua Gundam began to operate at full capacity; Tieria had made her decision.

Right here today, he's going to blast all those damned iron men who can only crawl on the ground and look up to the heavens into dust!

"As for you, you are nothing but dust trying to block the path of change."

"The reason humanity needs Aeolia's plan is precisely because there are too many 'insects' like you..."

That's why mutual understanding can never be achieved!

He stared at the GN Cannon's charging progress bar on the cockpit panel, then glanced at the GN Field Shield protecting him.

Tieria said with great confidence, as if God had made his judgment.

"Oh, I see. No wonder you were so sharp-tongued."

Wang Ye glanced at the ready-to-go Gundam Virtue, while the Special Armored Iron Man casually picked up the Heat Axe.

"Your arrogance is truly inherited from one another."

"Unfortunately, the AEU and UNION in the west might still fall for your nonsense about 'divine judgment of mankind'."

"But in the People's Revolutionary Alliance, even if it were a god in heaven, if he dared to block our way... we would only think of him as a demon and demolish his temple without hesitation."

"What?!"

As Tieria listened to Wang Ye's disdain for Aeolia's plan, his eyebrows shot up like two parallel knives.

Tieria immediately lost all interest in wasting words with Wang Ye. He had lost all patience for such a person who was not worth saving.

Just as he was preparing to take down Wang Ye and all the Iron Men of the Revolutionary Alliance on the field, even if the GN Cannon couldn't fire at full power, he was about to strike again.

"Warning! Warning! Multiple Ironman heat sources detected nearby!"

"Extremely close!"

The auxiliary intelligent system in the cockpit of the Gundam Virtue emitted a piercing alarm. Tieria was so surprised that she didn't even know how these iron men had gotten there.

"Could it be?"

Tieria, quick to react, considered one possibility: that these Iron Men had shut down their engines and were lying in wait in the forest early in the morning.

And the places where they might land, or the places where they might launch a rescue attack, had been predicted by these guys from the Revolutionary Alliance long ago?

Only in this way can you catch yourself off guard!

"You think you can defeat me like this?"

"I'm not like those guys over there!"

Despite her surprise, Tieria quickly regained her composure.

The power of the Virtue Gundam gave him ample confidence, just like Allelujah when he piloted the Dominion Gundam before.

"Tieria, watch out!"

However, Tieria's confidence is one thing, but Alleluia, who has already suffered greatly, does not have such strong confidence.

Look at the iron men wielding enormous rotary cannons, and watch them approach Tieria, who stands motionless in place.

Areluya, who is also considered a native of the People's Revolutionary League, knows that the People's Revolutionary League has a long tradition of landing naval guns on land.

If the Gundam Virtue had maintained a distance, fighting these Iron Men would have been fine, but now the Iron Men of the Human Reform League are practically face-to-face with the Gundam Virtue!

On the other side, the GN Field of the Gundam Virtue, which was attacked suddenly, acted like an absolute barrier, absorbing all the incoming first round of fire.

The flames of the explosion shone futilely outside the GN field's optical membrane.

However, faced with this situation...

Wang Ye merely smiled in a predictable, knowing smile.

"Did you think you were safe just because of that turtle shell?"

He muttered to himself, neither swinging his thermal axe nor rushing forward.

"Keep going! Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Since the quality isn't good enough, let's increase the quantity!"

In an instant, these Iron Men, having received orders, intensified their firepower.

"Buzz—!"

A piercing, teeth-grinding explosion erupted as the kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile tore through the air at an initial velocity of 1500 to 1800 meters per second.

They lack the brilliance of beams of light, but possess destructive kinetic energy.

A standard fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile relies on pure physical hard impact and the extremely high velocity imparted by the muzzle.

The high-density, long-rod projectile core (tungsten alloy/depleted uranium) is used to forcefully compress, tear, and penetrate armor, proving its strength through brute force.

Thus, after an exaggerated number of projectiles were piled up, the situation began to change when these projectiles touched the GN field.

The kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile was no longer completely deflected. Instead, it underwent intense friction with the force field at extremely high speeds, causing the projectile temperature to surge instantly and turn into a red-hot state!

"Snap!"

Tieria's heart sank.

He clearly saw on the monitoring screen that, under the extreme compression of the GN force field and the consumption of their own kinetic energy, the armor-piercing projectiles actually disintegrated into self-destruction!

But this was not the end. The fragments of the disintegrated core, like the sharpest chisels, carried all the remaining kinetic energy and pierced into the force field again...

"Warning! Localized GN field overload! Armor damaged!"

Amidst the piercing alarm, the thick armor of the Virtua Gundam was torn open with jagged gashes.

Although the armor wasn't completely penetrated, the enormous impact transmitted through the machine, causing Tieria's cockpit to shake violently.
