Gundam: From Piece to Player

If I could take a look myself, would history change?

Thinking about those things now is pointless.

After the negotiations broke down, Unit 0 pulled out the Magnum rifle from its back, aimed at the Reverse X, and pulled the trigger.

Under the convergence of the muzzle field I, the red and white MEGA particle beam, carrying a destructive wave, blasted towards Reverse X.

At the moment of impact, a light film forms, and the red heat stream emitted by the Magnum slides over the sphere without any shaking. The I field strength and the power supply of the generator show a positive correlation.

The Magnum Rifle's output is capable of penetrating the Psycho Gundam's I-Field, which means that the opponent's energy is at least above that of the Psycho Gundam.

As if in retaliation, Reverse X raised the mechanical claw on his right arm, which quickly formed a flower shape—

In an instant, a wide, powerful beam of light began to hurtle toward Unit-00.

With reflexes that are perhaps second only to those of the new humanoid species in the world, Kalmar dodged the attack.

The beam did not stop—it was a continuous stream of beams, like a fountain, pressing down on Unit-00 with overwhelming force.

It's not a beam of light, but a "beam saber".

Unit-3 entered hypermach speed directly, dodging the beam of light with all its might. The aftershocks caused three Zeon warships 20 kilometers away to be unable to dodge and were melted into molten iron.

Has the crisis been resolved?

Karma sensed an attack coming from behind.

The Unicorn Gundam's armor exploded instantly, entering Newtype mode.

Then Unit-00 flew away, "flashing" from behind as it was struck by the Reverse X Gundam.

Although the mental framework helped it avoid being smashed into a pile of parts, the kinetic energy allowed Unit-00 to be sent flying like a cannonball into the moon.

Karma jumped away from the crater immediately, wiping the blood gushing from the corner of her mouth from the impact with her internal organs.

Propelling Unit-00 into launch, it dodged the next attack from the Reverse X, and slammed its fist into the lunar rock. The enormous impact stirred up dust and shook the nearby lunar surface.

A small lunar crater was created out of thin air.

Alice?

[Big brother? Are you alright?]

"Calculate how much force would be needed to achieve this effect, given his falling speed just now?"

Karma looked at the newly formed crater in the distance, his back completely soaked with sweat.

[Rough calculation: 5.472 tons – no increase in psychoframe detected]

"what?"

With the amplification of the full-body psycho-frame, Karma tested using her mental power to fully activate the frame, and the Unicorn could unleash an instantaneous output of 500 times its normal strength. However, without the frame, Unit-00's output was only 342 tons.

"So, this thing's output is 160 times that of a Unicorn?"

"Yes, brother... if you hadn't activated NT-D, the power difference between you would be equivalent to the power difference between a house cat and a buffalo."

You can't handle water buffalo unless you're a big cat.

There's really no way around Haki.

"Wait, so conversely, did the Unicorn Gundam still have a power advantage during those few short minutes?"

"Yes, but it has to be an explosive force with mental power, with a maximum output of 17.1 tons... NT-D time is 3:40."

"Damn it." Karma couldn't help but curse, and began to channel her mental energy, turning her entire skeleton red, with green crystals even starting to grow on it.

Like a cannonball, it shot towards the reverse X.

He actually surpassed Reverse X in strength, knocking him over with a series of attacks, and then used his most basic fist to smash Reverse X's head, which was the place where Psykos's energy was highest.

There was no way around it; the beam saber was as brittle as a cookie stick under such terrifying power, while the fist had a psycho-sensing frame—possessing an indestructible hardness.

"Sir, knowing there is such a gap, you are quite courageous... but this machine also has the Psycommu system."

Aronnax used his mental power to activate the Psycommu system inside Reverse X. One of Reverse X's flying hands grabbed the Unicorn Gundam's fist. After withstanding the instantaneous burst of power, it overwhelmed the Unicorn's power with its stronger sustained output.

The unicorn immediately withdrew its fist and kicked the other party away.

3: 20.

Karma pressed down on the accelerator, and with the support of his mental skeleton, he withstood the maximum acceleration of nearly 30G and charged towards the New Federation's fleet.

The speedometer jumped from Mach 10 to Mach 20 in 20 seconds.

The Reverse X Gundam, however, accelerated from 0 to Mach 25 in 10 seconds using a non-linear acceleration method, catching up with the Unicorn Gundam and surpassing it.

Clearly, the purpose was to protect their own fleet from the unicorns' attack.

Karma feinted an attack, then turned and flew towards Abaoa, which seemed to anger Aronnax.

The violent beam of light, showing no signs of diminishing power, continued to bombard backward. Seeing the energy output that far exceeded what warships of this era could produce, Karma could only sigh.

The numerical difference is too great; it's the same as the no-damage challenge.

"Alice, notify all fleets to immediately withdraw from the battlefield and proceed to rendezvous point N23."

"The quantum communication was sent to Colonel Sima, telling her to abandon the remaining Newtype forces, organize the Unicorn machines, and assist our forces in forcibly disengaging from the front lines."

Before the order was even issued, Banagher's Unit 1 and Du's Unit 8 were seen accelerating and approaching.

"Have you taken care of the opponent?"

“Yes, Camus Vidan was severely weakened by the previous battle and was defeated by me,” Banagher replied.

"Because of the large difference in machine performance, I defeated her," Du replied more simply.

Well done, everyone!

Karma pondered that he hadn't lost yet, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.

If you have three Unicorns, your win rate will be around 5%.

If hard numbers don't work, perhaps we can try a different approach.

Chapter 355 Physical attacks fail, switch to mental attacks

Brainwave communication exchanges information at a much higher frequency than language. In less than two seconds, Kalmar conveyed all the information he knew to Du and Banagher.

"The only thing we can do is try to create the environment," Kalma concluded.

"clear?"

They must be crazy. Faced with the Reverse X, a weapon capable of destroying civilizations, they actually seriously searched for ways to defeat it.

if not?

Are we expecting them to pull out an inverted A-rank as well?

A 160-fold difference in strength is a reality; if you try to force it, there's no other possibility but to get flattened.

The Unicorn Gundam is already considered the pinnacle of the combination of the MiRock and the Psycho-Frame mode.

But just as steam power can't compete with internal combustion engines, internal combustion engines can't compete with nuclear fission reactors, and nuclear fission reactors can't compete with nuclear fusion reactors (controlled nuclear fusion reactors).

Kalmar is 100% certain that the power source for TURN-X is definitely not controlled nuclear fusion.

Therefore, it is impossible to defeat it using physical methods.

However, nothing is absolute. The Space Alliance's research in brainwave science has actually led to the development of a special weapon, and the Unicorn Gundam has the capability to reproduce it.

"Everyone, get ready."

"Roger that!"

"Yasina, you are our ace."

“Received,” Yasna said using Banagher’s body.

Another MEGA particle blast interrupted the conversation between the three Unicorns.

"Haman and Camus were defeated by you?" Aronnax said. "Their training wasn't enough."

"I've already taken care of Harman Kahn."

Du attempted to increase his chances of winning by influencing his opponent's mindset through words.

"Really? I can tell she's alive and well."

Reverse X blocked Unit 8, which was hurtling towards it like a humanoid cannonball, while Unit 00 took advantage of Unit 8's cover to circle around to the rear of Reverse X Gundam and fired at close range with Magnum—Karma aimed at the blue backpack on its back.

Before Karma traveled through time, she had read some popular science articles and had some impression of what was in the backpack. She was also betting that the opponent would definitely dodge the attack. Sure enough, the Reverse X did not take the hit head-on, but pushed Unit 8 away, and an I-field was generated on the fist of the machine.

The 5.4-ton I-field shockwave directly shattered the Magnum beam.

"Sir, you have indeed seen this machine before and understand its functions. Aren't you afraid of annihilation for both sides?"

“A lose-lose situation is better than a win-lose situation,” Karma replied.

Unit 8 crashed into us again after being pushed aside, and Arokonas showed an impatient expression.

Using the MEGA particle cannon as a close-range weapon, Unit 8's I-field shield lasted less than a second before being crushed by the attack.

He withstood the beam's tip with his psychoframe, but Du, being a super soldier who had undergone 19 surgeries, finally managed to catch Reverse X.

Karma didn't waste this golden opportunity and, like a magnet, hugged Reverse X from behind.

At the same time, maximize the output of the mental resonance system.

The psycho-frames on the two Unicorn Gundams resonated, forcibly generating a [Spirit Realm], and their spiritual power forcibly invaded Aronnax's consciousness.

—The flow of time has changed.

Because they are invaders of the spiritual world, their presence is also distorted by the perception of the spiritual world's master.

The stars in the sky were very dim, and the surroundings seemed to be some kind of cosmic battlefield, with countless MS wreckage scattered around.

This is Aronnax's spiritual world, a blend of the other's past memories.

Of course... there's also that very conspicuous cylindrical weapon, which resembles the [Sunlight Laser System].

Aronnax was no longer piloting the Reverse X Gundam, but the X-Wing—or rather, the true prototype of the X-Wing.

Judging from the color scheme, it should be the X1 Corsair. The cape has been torn in battle, and it is holding a Muramasa Mad Blade that is half broken. There are countless scratches and punctures on the body.

The surrounding wreckage...did he single-handedly destroy dozens of mobile suits?
