Gundam: From Piece to Player

Meanwhile, Duin's spiritual entity was killed in the world, its voice weak, but it still had three brains and a long spiritual 'health bar'.

"You should retreat to the assembly point immediately."

"clear."

Karma looked at the machine in front of her; she needed to remove the head of the Reverse X (the cockpit was in the head).

Although he also wanted to obtain the perfect Reverse X for reverse research, if Aronnax's mental bar could withstand the mental energy loss from being 'killed' once and complete the resurrection, then...

Things get less interesting then.

"Banaji, go and stretch your body."

"receive."

Banagher learned of Karma's plan and grabbed Reverse X in front of Unit 1.

Unit-00 pulled its head, and both units simultaneously activated their psycho-frames, which changed from red to green.

"One, two, three, pull!"

The two machines generated a pulling force of nearly 25 tons.

Even with the advanced futuristic materials used in the neck of the Reverse X Gundam, it couldn't withstand such a strong pull and deformed.

However, the moment the reverse X's neck was torn apart, it had already been pulled into model parts.

The head of the reverse X was also released from Unit-00's grasp by a tremendous force—no, it was the opponent's deconstruction technique that was used on its own initiative.

A powerful surge of brainwaves erupted from Reverse X, and then Reverse X's various body parts reassembled and took shape, just like a model animation.

It’s over.

[Warning: Identify Anna Al's brainwave signals]

When Kalma heard the AI ​​mention the name corresponding to this brainwave pattern, he paused for a moment.

"Anna?"

The Reverse X Gundam simply raised its Destruction Cannon and responded with a single MEGA Particle Beam.

The ensuing battle was another cat-and-mouse game.

Karma tried to communicate with her using telepathy, but received no response. He realized that it might not be Anna, but some kind of AI system with Anna's power, something like a puppet weapon.

It is insurance against Aronnax's "defeat".

Chapter 357 Karma's Eagerness to Turn the Page

The battle lasted fifty seconds.

1: 20.

NT-D is nearing its end, and Kalma can only drive Unit-00 into ultra-high Mach to escape.

While Reverse X was always chasing behind, and was actually faster than Karma, his attacks lacked spirit, so the pressure he put on Karma was far less terrifying than that of Aronnax.

But the problem is that time is running out.

00: 12.

Am I going to die?

Once mental energy is exhausted and NT mode is exited, losing the "cheap miracle" buff, this unicorn will be smashed into a pancake by the terrifying stats of the reverse X.

Is my life as a time traveler coming to an end?

Karma's mind flashed through a series of fleeting memories.

He released his hands and leaned back in his chair. He had done his best, had he? He had defeated Tobias, who was using a reverse A-class weapon, with the help of the Unicorn—he could brag about that even if he traveled back in time.

At that moment, as if Karma was spared, a Lunar Federation fleet appeared around them, heading towards Abaoa Sky.

Reverse X seems to have triggered a condition, judging that the fleet not far away is more worth eliminating.

The machine made a sharp turn and headed straight for the fleet.

"The enemy has launched a nuclear missile at the fleet! Take immediate evasive action!"

Kalmar, facing this fleet that had "saved his life," immediately issued a warning that "they can understand"... and given the speed of laser communication, they could still understand the true meaning behind it.

Upon receiving the order, the fleet began to riot and attempted to disperse.

However, the acceleration is too slow.

The Reverse X charged straight into the fleet, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks, like a supernova exploding, blooming into silent, dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

Karma could only hear his own breathing in space. He didn't try to rescue her... but instead turned and retreated.

As long as you're not dead and can still move, there's hope for a comeback.

Even if the New Federation has a reverse X, it is still possible to contain the New Federation's aggression by relying on the deterrence of asymmetric advantages.

MAP weapons that use light sails as projectiles can accelerate to 20% of the speed of light, and they have already dismantled the Federation hawks' solar magnifier.

One shot can wipe out all life forms in the air above Abaoa; the same applies to using it to conquer colonies.

As long as they can buy time—ten, twenty, or even thirty years—the Space Alliance will eventually be able to develop mobile suits to defeat the Anti-X.

The premise is that we need to survive now.

"Sir, I have rescued everyone."

Karma didn't dare slow down, and Sima's Unit 4 caught up.

"Is everything alright?"

"Except for a few people whose machines were seriously damaged, everyone else is fine. I have already forced them to disengage from the battle."

"well done."

Aronnax slowly regained consciousness from his coma, and seeing that his mobile suit was still attacking the MS troops who had lost their will to fight, he shut down the indiscriminate attack system on his mobile suit.

He activated brainwave communication.

"Haman, are you still alive?"

“I am here; it was my double who was destroyed,” Harman replied.

"Tell me now where the enemy's most stubborn spot is, and I'll go deal with it."

“There is also a Zeon Republic fleet nearby. I will guide you.”

“Come with me, I have some things to tell you.” Aronnax took off his helmet, revealing a head of white hair and a face that looked much older than before he boarded the plane.

"Yes."

The lunar war that took place in March 0091 proceeded smoothly for the Allied Forces... however, after the emergence of the new Federation [Unknown Machine X].

Its speed and power output far exceed those of this era; its mere presence on the battlefield would cause the collapse of a certain space theater.

The Zeon Republic fleet, the Lunar Fleet, and the Federation fleet all suffered heavy losses. Only the Space Federation fleet managed to escape. After losing its fleet, the Lunar Federation chose to surrender conditionally to the new Federation in order to avoid even greater losses from the destruction of its cities.

The new Federation agreed and "promised" that it would not split up AE's business and that the relationship between AE and the Earth Federation could be maintained as before.

The dove-wing federal troops also withdrew to SIDE2 and SIDE6.

For Zeon, the most terrifying thing about the fall of the moon would be the complete loss of Granada's barrier, resulting in heavy damage to the Abaoa fleet.

Considering the heavy losses suffered by the fleet.

Commander-in-Chief Char Aznable announced his resignation, and Prime Minister Darcia, on behalf of the Republic of Zeon, renewed the Peace Treaty with the New Federation—presumably because they now need to fully consolidate their control over the lunar territory, and the New Federation agreed to sign the treaty.

The person who signed the agreement on behalf of the Republic of Zeon was Haman Kahn, who signed the agreement as a former nobleman of the Republic of Zeon, which was regarded as a humiliation by the Republic of Zeon.

But what can they do even if they're dissatisfied? The trend of the new Federation unifying the Earth sphere has already taken shape.

Even now, with the Space Alliance providing a protective shield of a weapon called the "Light Sail Weapon"—which became known to the world on March 8th—we are still vulnerable.

As the lunar war was drawing to a close, the Space Alliance launched a missile directly at an asteroid fortress located on the outskirts of Shangri-La in the New Federation, instantly vaporizing the asteroid fortress and its military personnel.

The Space Alliance then announced that it would provide its allies with a light sail protection umbrella—as long as the New Federation launches an attack on the remaining areas, the light sail will directly strike all the major cities of the New Federation.

This security guarantee, to some extent, restored the confidence of the Federation and the Republic of Zeon.

However, relying solely on strategic guarantees means that tactically, we have already fallen into a terrible passive position.

General Brest of the lunar side, along with many soldiers who disagreed with surrendering, and members of AE, who did not accept the lunar surrender, led some troops who were unwilling to surrender to leave.

The Earth Sphere is now shrouded in the shadow of the new Federation.

Karma had no time to care about external matters; he returned to Pezen.

Under his leadership, the Space Alliance cancelled the development plan for the sixth-generation mobile suit, and only the minimum production line for the fifth-generation mobile suit was retained.

It's pointless to keep struggling with the rice cooker; it won't defeat Reverse X.

The need for weapons to counter the Anti-X requires designing them almost entirely from the theoretical level.

The only thing Kalmar can think of right now is antimatter, but this stuff is still a laboratory product, and there are no precedents to follow for stable preservation.

He could only focus his energy on his work to avoid dwelling too much on meaningless feelings of failure; it was time to move on from some things.

The alarm clock on her watch went off, and Karma realized that today was White Valentine's Day, the day he was supposed to give a gift.

"Have all the gifts for my wives arrived?" Karma called Alice.

"We've arrived, and they all thanked us."

I'll send a message to each of them tonight; I miss them a bit.

"Fang also gave me a gift," Alice replied.

Should we add some other functions to Alice? After all, even a rogue has needs.

"Brother, just a reminder, don't forget about Miss Du's matter either."

Chapter 358 Returning Chocolates

Which matter?

Oh, that matter.

After the battle, she had almost forgotten about it. After giving Alice some other tasks, Kalma sent a message to find Du and ask where she was.
