Gundam: From Piece to Player

At the same time, a red MA mobile suit was also added, with the same unpleasant aura that had been felt during the One Year War—that of Char and Lara Shin.

Karma chose to create distance earlier in order to take the two of them with her.

Let these two share the burden of the increasing number of new humans.

"Amuro, you actually stand with your former enemy."

“I just want to protect my current life. The lunar city is the home my wife and I live in now,” Amuro replied.

"After joining the New Federation, nothing will change. You can still live the life you want without interference. As a new human, you will also receive..."

Seeing the boy she had once protected, Shiko's temper softened considerably.

Her Titania did not stop firing at Karma's Unit-00.

“I don’t need to be any ‘upper class’,” Amuro said. “It’s your freedom to choose what the New Federation does, but you can’t impose your fate on others. When your ideals require others to sacrifice, you are no longer righteous.”

"Hierarchy is a part of human history that has existed for ten thousand years. No matter how much you deny it, human society will inevitably have elites and the ruled commoners... If your father wasn't Dr. Tim Ray, could you even pilot a Gundam?"

“Some people are born to be superior and have access to more resources. If that’s the case, then let the more outstanding new humans be the elite class and receive more resources and training… Take Judau, for example. It is because of the New Federation that he, as a new human from an ordinary family, was able to receive a better education and have his talents fully developed.”

Amuro didn't refute... only Karma had a different opinion.

"Our Space Alliance's Minister of Architecture, as an asteroid belt inhabitant, has no background, no family connections, and is not a new human, yet he was still selected by the Space Alliance."

Karma's unicorn raised the Magnum and began to retaliate against the machine piloted by Shiko.

Shiko dismissed this with disdain, only to later discover that the other party was actually deploying a group of floating artillery.

Each Titania series unit can launch more than 18 funnels, and 70 Newtype units can unleash more than 1260 funnels.

Under Shiko's guidance, the airspace where the unicorn herd, Niu Gao, and Nightingale were located was transformed into a three-dimensional beam bombardment zone with no blind spots.

There's no escaping it; we have no choice but to tough it out.

All the Unicorn Gundams have activated their I-fields, and the Nu Gundam has also activated its I-field—it turns out that the Ann's front armor is there to house the I-field generator.

Nightingale's words are a mystery to Char Aznable. How could a mobile suit with such a large impact area not be equipped with an I-field?

Fortunately, Lala had enough imagination to create a pyramid-shaped beam protection zone around the machine, which deflected the incoming beams like a light film.

"Sima, Macho, Nia, Marian, and Nex, you guys enter NT-D mode. The rest of you provide long-range fire support."

"receive."

Unit 10 is piloted by Alice, who just went through a brainwave comparison.

Upon discovering that the four Heavenly Kings of the New Federation were not among the Titanias, Karma dared not bet all her cards.

After receiving the order, the five Unicorns entered NT mode and transformed from Unicorns into Gundam-like creatures.

Its speed increased sharply, and it launched an attack on the Titania cluster.

Karma activated the shooting assistance equipment in the cockpit and watched as the 5:00 display gradually changed to 4:59.

The NT-D mode can be used for 5 minutes, which can be considered an invincible 5 minutes - however, after using it, the brainwave ability user will fall into a brief mental breakdown.

"Are you looking for death?"

"They actually dare to charge into the enemy lines like that?"

"Kamikaze attacks?"

The new humans in Titania were either surprised or bewildered by this scene, and then they were utterly defeated.

Unit 4 hardly needs to consider the pilot's tolerance level. Its kinetic energy is the fastest. Before the two Titanias could make any move, it cut the beam sabers that had been pulled out of their arms in two. Even though they had already made a dodging move, Sima's speed was so fast that their hands and feet could not keep up.

As the two support aircraft behind Titania tried to raise their guns, Sima's Magnum rifle fired first, piercing through the I-field generator on one of them and destroying it directly.

At this moment, the MS squadron leader stepped forward, grabbing four beam sabers with his hands and secondary arm, attempting to block and stop Unit 4 in a defensive stance.

However, this was absolutely the wrong choice.

Sima maintained its speed and slightly raised its shield before ramming into the enemy's machine. The captain's machine was sent flying like a baseball being hit – although the machine appeared structurally intact, the pilot had been killed by the impact.

Sima destroyed 4 mechs in 20 seconds.

Meanwhile, the other four people, Ma Qiu, destroyed 5 Titanias, Nia An destroyed 3 Titanias, Marian destroyed 4 Titanias, and Nex destroyed 6 Titanias. 22 Titanias were destroyed in the first encounter.

In an instant, the opponent's numerical advantage was reduced by nearly a third.

"Spread out and don't stick together. This situation can't continue indefinitely. Keep them tied down."

As a new human capable of seeing through the essence of things, Shiko realized that the Unicorn Gundam's current state could not continue indefinitely.

After being killed on sight, the Titanians immediately dispersed, using long-range firepower to hold them back. Some even fled without firing a single shot. Watching the Titanians scatter and flee, thanks to the Newtypes' sense of distance and ease of communication, they were not afraid of their formation breaking apart after they dispersed.

This made Karma frown as well.

If the remaining 48 machines run around randomly, it could take several five-minute intervals to kill them all.

He used a quantum communication system instead of brainwave communication—to prevent the other party from eavesdropping.

"All machines, activate the brainwave shielding system on your machines. Alice, activate the [Mind Shock Weapon] in 20 seconds."

"receive."

This is an indiscriminate weapon, but that can be mitigated through protection.

Karma suddenly remembered something and, disregarding the possibility that brainwave communication might reduce the effectiveness of the attack, said to the two enemy aircraft, "You two should disengage from the battle immediately; this is within the kill zone."

“No need, my machine also has shielding devices,” Char replied, as he was engaged in battle with Yazan’s machine.

"You needn't worry about that, my machine also has a countermeasure." This was Amuro, who was fighting Shiko.

Sure, they're all Saint Seiya, they won't fall for the same move twice.

Just five seconds later, the mental force field emanating from Unit 10 indiscriminately ravaged the entire battlefield, instantly striking the brains of the new humans who were using the Psycommu device for perception.

Meanwhile, the unicorns, who had long been prepared for defense, began "scooping up fries" from the out-of-control machines in space caused by the heavy impact, but many resistant new humans were still running around everywhere.

—But because of the distance, the pursuing unicorns had already run far away. Karma did not let them stop the pursuit, but wanted to take advantage of this wave to wipe out the new humans and avoid leaving problems for the future.

Meanwhile, he, Eloby, Banagher, Alice, and Xiao Du were preparing to besiege Sugai Shiko and Yazan.

—Amuro and Char were at a significant disadvantage in their one-on-one battle, and their mobile suits already bore various injuries.

Although both of them are Newtypes, their ability usage is almost instinctive, much like the New Federation's large Newtype army, whose ability usage is not yet proficient in combat.

The new humans who have undergone training are obviously different. Nu Gundam's right hand has been broken by the recoil impact, and Nightingale's right lower body decorations have also been damaged.

[Brainwaves detected: Haman Kahn, Camus Bidan, Judau Yasita... and Aronnax.]

"Has it finally arrived?"

The timing of their arrival was clearly calculated, with the four Heavenly Kings of the New Federation coming from all directions.

Karma was confident in the Unicorn's performance, but the new human opposite them was no ordinary machine. Even if the machine had the advantage, the pilot himself could not be judged by common sense.

The time had come to deal with the enemy, and Karma had her answer in just two seconds of thought.

"Xiao Du, you deal with Haman Kahn; Banagher, you deal with Camus Vidan, and coordinate well with Yasna; Elbi, you deal with Judau Ashita—Aronnax, Alice, you deal with him with me."

"Yes."

The unicorns made their final separation, and they all had some conflicts with their respective opponents. Because their mechs were a generation ahead of each other, even if the opponents had "magic," it would be difficult for them to defeat the unicorns.

Karma himself knew that some things really needed to be settled, and some mysteries needed to be resolved in this battle.

He steered his machine toward the direction of Aronnax's brainwaves, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and fear of death.

From the other person's perspective, they killed Ana, and Aronnax certainly wouldn't hold back this time.

Unit-00's detection system is searching for the enemy; the concentration of Minovsky particles in the surrounding area is as high as a thick, viscous fog.

The brainwave pointer pointed at Aronnax, and the opponent's silhouette gradually enlarged from blurry to a small gray dot.

[Body identification and comparison in progress, no match found... Dude, your adrenaline is surging.]

Karma remained silent, in the instant her second brain recognized and confirmed the other person's general appearance.

He was momentarily speechless, but the adrenaline helped him regain his composure.

This, in turn, allows him to rule out all other options before making a decision.

"Alice, if I die here, immediately send a laser signal back to Yuno to activate [Light Kite] for a final deterrent against all cities in the New Federation... Buy as much time as possible to build a light sail spaceship capable of escaping the solar system within thirty years."

"Big brother?"

The one in front of me is definitely not the X-Wing Gundam; it's just that the "X" has moved from its back to its chest, and it's shimmering with a rainbow-like light.

Despite trying his best to remain calm, Karma was putting on a brave face—he knew his chances of defeating this thing were no more than 1%.

(Turn X)

Chapter 354 Have you ever fought an enemy with 160 times your own strength?

"Aronnax, you've got a new machine now. Has the industrial strength of your New Federation reached this level?"

"You jest, sir. This is Lady Anna's keepsake... I don't know exactly which manufacturer produced it," Aronnax chuckled. "Sir, your mood has changed quite a bit; this isn't like your usual confident self. Have you perhaps seen this MS before?"

Upon meeting, Karma initiated a conversation with the other party. A battle was inevitable, but more information could be obtained through chatting.

"No."

The device he carries makes it impossible for the new humans to distinguish between reality and lies.

"Is that so? After you modified your body, I can no longer detect your lies... But that doesn't matter. After all, you are someone Lady Anna favors, which is why your army was willing to withdraw, right?"

Aronnax said, "Our Newtypes have suffered heavy casualties at the hands of your forces. For the sake of peace, it is time to end this war."

"If you withdraw your troops, we will withdraw our troops too. Let the lunar people resolve their own issues."

"That won't do."

"Then the only way to resolve our conflict is through violence."

Could it be that Anna dug this machine out of that nook and cranny?

Wait, could it be Pluto...? Before the One Year War, after Anna's surgery, she told herself she was going to that ridiculously far place, but due to various unforeseen circumstances, that matter was never resolved.
