This doesn't mean Lelouch no longer loves Marianne or has no feelings for his mother. It simply means that the rational Lelouch won't abandon everything he has now because of his love for Marianne.

After all, the Mariana he knew was no longer the mother he remembered, but a mad and insane ghost who brought only destruction and end.

Lelouch would only keep his distance from such a spirit, and he might even turn against it if it threatened his safety or that of those around him.

Even though this spirit was his mother in life.

Lelouch!

Marianne naturally understood Lelouch's meaning. Her face twisted with rage as she raised her gun and aimed it at Lelouch's head.

"Shuzenaire!"

Lelouch also shouted loudly. Facing Marianne's gun, he neither dodged nor avoided, but instead called out the name of Schönen.

Lelouch's words were almost as threatening as what Marianne was doing; they were the most direct attack on Marianne's life.

However, unlike Marianne, who was already on her deathbed, even if she did kill Lelouch, her fate would not change.

On Lelouch's side, Lelouch's decision will truly and completely annihilate Marianne, making her disappear from this world.

No matter how fast Mariana moved, she couldn't possibly be as fast as Xiuzenel activating Geass. A flash of pale blue light quickly swept across Mariana's... no, it should be Anya's body.

The red light in Anya's eyes trembled rapidly, and a painful wail escaped her lips: "Ah, Lelouch, you actually... you're really going to kill me, kill your mother! I... my body... my will!"

Anya clutched her head and fell to the ground, rolling around on the floor. In the distance, Lelouch slumped back into his chair, covering his ears.

Xiuzenail stood up, wiped the blood from his head, and still smiled, saying, "Princess Marianna, I was the one who did it. If there really is a hell, then please resent me there. After all... you shouldn't be qualified to go to heaven."

“CC…CC!”

Ignoring Xiuzhenail, the pained Anya reached out her hand to CC in the distance, hoping for help. Of all the people around her, if anyone could help her, it was probably only CC.

However, CC's performance drove the undead named Mariana to utter despair.

CC hugged Mo Mo's neck and said, "Darling, it's so scary, please cover my eyes."

However, without Momo's prompting, CC hid her head behind Momo's. She didn't witness Marianna's disappearance; this was probably her final act of reluctance to see her former friend, Marianna, die in despair and struggle.

The blue light continued; this anti-Geass, capable of dispelling Geass abilities, was practically Marianna's nemesis. Marianna, whose very existence was based on Geass, simply couldn't withstand such an attack. As the blue light erased the effects of Marianna's Geass, her will and spirit gradually dissipated.

Anya's struggles became calmer and calmer, and her eyes became vacant. The red light in her eyes faded rapidly and finally disappeared.

Finally, Anya sat up, covered her face, as if she had just experienced a long dream.

"Are you alright, Anya?"

Xiuzenair extended his hand towards Anya, his gentle smile making one wonder if he had taken a liking to the pink-haired loli Anya in front of him.

However, Anya showed no respect for Xiuzenel.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Anya slapped Xiuzenair's hand away, then struggled to her feet, her voice trembling as she said, "You...the royal family of Britannia, not a single one of you is a good person! You...you're all bastards!"

Anya's eyes were filled with tears. Marianna's disappearance meant that she would no longer be controlled by anyone, and the Geass effect that Charles had placed on her had also disappeared, allowing Anya to regain all her lost memories.

For seven years, she was controlled like a puppet, used as a puppet. Even with Anya's natural personality, it was impossible for her to calmly accept such a past and such a life.

Xiu Zenai's expression froze, and he said, "It seems... I'm disliked, Mr. Mo. How about you take care of Anya for now?"

"Ania is one of your Knights of the Round Table. Are you sure you can leave her with me? You just said that I seem to have quite a bit of charm. What if Anya doesn't want to leave later?"

“If that’s the case, I will wish Anya well. After all, we Britannia owe her, we owe her seven wonderful years of life. So, even though she is a Knight of the Round Table and an invaluable asset to us, I have no reason to let her continue fighting alongside us right now.”

"However, I would like to ask Mr. Mo to promise me that Anya will be free to come and go. I hope that you will respect her wishes if she makes any decisions in the future."

Momo smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I'm always a reasonable person and I keep my promises. Anya, how about continuing to be my guest?"

"I was just... a guest."

Anya's body was still trembling, but looking at Momo, a sense of relief appeared on her face. At least she was certain that during her time with Momo, Momo and the people around him had been very friendly to her, and given Momo's status, he wouldn't ask anything of her now that she had nothing.

What does she have left that Mo Mo would value? Mo Mo taking her in must have been purely out of kindness.

"I promise."

Mo Mo revealed an innocent smile, as pure as an angel from heaven.

Anya finally nodded, walked around Xiuzenair, and came to Momo's side, standing a little distance behind Momo's group.

"call--"

Xiu Zenel let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Alright, Mr. Mo, now it's time for us to get down to business. Lelouch, I think this time you won't refuse the proposal to join forces with me, right? After all, if we don't stop our mad father, everything in this world is meaningless."

Lelouch stood up, leaning on the table for support. He felt weak, and Shirley quickly ran over to help him.

“Shirley,” Lelouch said without answering Scherzner, “come with me to comfort Nunnally. I think she must have heard everything.”

Xia Li was slightly taken aback and said, "Would it be appropriate for me to go in?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. We're family now, aren't we? Don't worry, Shirley. I'll protect you both, Nanali and I'll do everything in my power."

Shirley's heart skipped a beat, and she hugged Lelouch's arm tightly.

“Shuzenair…brother, I’ll remember what happened today. If you can ensure Ashford Academy is unharmed, I’ll pretend your scheme never happened.”

"As for stopping Charles... that guy, my hatred for him hasn't subsided yet."

After saying that, Lelouch walked towards Nunnally's room, and Schneider finally showed a relieved smile.

"It seems the next mission is ours, Mr. Mo. I wonder what trump cards you have up your sleeve? According to my agreement with the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, the resistance forces of the old Japan and their Knightmare troops are about to attack. This is a formidable force."

"Actually, I already find it incredible that Clovis has been able to last this long."

Momo glanced back at Karen and Yuki. Yuki nodded and began contacting Penglai Island, while Karen's eyes lit up with excitement, and her red hair seemed to start burning.

"It shouldn't be hard to understand; something fate has probably happened. Xiu Zenael, your Special Dispatch Guide Technology Department should still be under Clovis's command, right?"

Xiu Zenel frowned and said, "You mean Lancelot? Indeed, if Lancelot were activated, its combat power should be able to greatly help Clovis. However, the pilot of Lancelot has always been a big problem."

"Perhaps Lancelot is destined to meet someone and has finally found a driver he likes."

“I hope so,” Xiu Zenai nodded and said, “Next, I will send Bismarck out, along with Mr. Mo’s Guren and Ms. Yuki’s personal machine, and there should be no problem.”

"You still dare to use Bismarck, Schönenel? Aren't you afraid Bismarck will chop off your head with one sword?"

Schurzner shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, Bismarck doesn't know I've betrayed him yet, so my head is safe for now. I'll find an opportunity to get rid of Bismarck later. Although he also has Geass abilities, this eye of mine is their nemesis."

After saying that, Xiuzner bowed and said, "By the way, I will have Clovis extend an invitation to you in his name, inviting you and your forces to land in Japan and assist us Britannia in dealing with the resistance organizations of old Japan."

"During this process, Mr. Mo can familiarize himself with your future territory. However, as I said before, Sakura Stone Resources will not be given to you."

"If there's nothing else, then, Mr. Mo, farewell. I hope that when we meet again, the world will be at peace."

Momo also stood up and returned the greeting to Xiuzenair, saying, "Yes, Xiuzenair. I think we both have a peaceful heart, and peace is really not far away."

237. Flowers in a mirror, the moon in the water

Is this a good idea?

Xiu Zenai has already left, and the flames of war in the distance are getting closer and closer. Just by listening to the distant artillery fire, Mo Mo can tell that the Emperor has invested a lot this time.

Maybe they'll pull out all of this batch of Knightmare inventory?

Unfortunately, the person he was trading with this time was Xiu Zenai.

Perhaps the Emperor disliked Mo Mo to the extreme, and his evaluation of Mo Mo's character was almost zero. However, Mo Mo still valued transactions. Unless the other party caused trouble for Mo Mo, Mo Mo was willing to fulfill all his promises without fail.

Xiuzenair appears to be a good person, and others also rate him as a good person. However, Momo believes that Xiuzenair could easily betray his oath for his own purposes.

Although his vow came at the cost of his life.

"That guy, Xiuzenair, definitely won't fulfill the contract properly. And according to your agreement with VV, you shouldn't be helping Xiuzenair, right?"

Yuki and Karen have both gone to prepare for battle. Soon, the Dongfeng Express (real) from Penglai Island will deliver their personal aircraft.

Kallen's is naturally her Crimson Lotus, while Yuuki's exclusive mobile suit is similar to Bismarck's, also equipped with a greatsword. It is a close-combat-oriented Knightmare with extremely high mobility.

To be precise, it seems that Momo's current fighting force is all geared towards close combat.

If Momo hadn't developed such powerful long-range firepower in this world from the very beginning—first with the Chinese cannon, Iron Fist, and Katyusha, and now with the thriving Dongfeng Express industry—Momo's side would probably be suppressed and beaten in long-range combat right now.

As CC and Momo were chatting, a warhead-shaped aircraft spewing flames shot from the horizon, slowly slowing down and hovering above Ashford Academy Square.

This is a long-range unmanned transport service developed specifically for the Knightmare mechs of the rebellious Code Geass world by combining the Dongfeng technology from Momo's previous life. With a speed of 4KM/s, it can support any corner of the world, regardless of terrain, as long as the coordinates are available.

Dongfeng Express, always ready to deliver! Just give us a call and your Knightmare will be delivered right to your door!

“You’re right, Sisi.”

The two idlers who were watching Yuki and Karen enter battle mode from a distance continued to chat, saying, "Shuzenair is indeed deceiving me. He tempted me with the interests of Japan and the wealth of Sakuraishi, and then used these to create a condition that I could not refuse in order to achieve his goal."

"He will absolutely not fulfill the contract properly."

"As for the other point you mentioned," Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "XiXi, this involves a question. May I ask you?"

CC rolled her eyes and said, "Is there anything about me that you don't know? Are you going to ask me about the number of cells in my body?"

"No, I'm just curious, Sisi. What principles does Code's resurrection follow? For example, if you die in a place where humans can't survive at all, how will you be resurrected?"

"Finally tired of me and want to kill me and cover your tracks? But I regret to inform you that we Code will always be resurrected no matter what."

CC remained expressionless and said, "Let's not even talk about minor things like being shot or pierced through the chest with a wooden spike; they'll definitely heal and revive on the spot. If it's something like being dismembered or shredded, it'll probably regenerate in the head area. If it's being crushed into mincemeat, burned to ashes, and the place where you're not revived is unsuitable, then it'll revive in the nearest place where it can."

"That sounds like it hurts a lot."

"Well, have you decided how you want me to die?"

"For example, if I were to sink you to the bottom of the deep sea, a place where humans could not possibly survive, what state would you be in? Would you be constantly dying and resurrecting at the bottom of the deep sea, or would you be transferred to a place where humans could survive and then resurrected?"

CC tilted her head and said, "That's quite a novel way to die. Let's assume my body isn't crushed into a pulp by the water pressure, or corroded into bones by fish, shrimp, and microorganisms. Wouldn't it probably maintain a continuous cycle of resurrection and rebirth on the seabed?"

"However, in reality, it will probably end with me escaping the deep sea, or becoming flesh and bones and then being resurrected elsewhere."

Mo Mo nodded in sudden realization, then CC walked behind Mo Mo, pinched the soft flesh of Mo Mo's waist, and said, "Have you thought it through, darling? How do you plan to make me die?"

"Hmm, why not grow old, get sick, and die with me?"

"Pah, shameless!"

CC cursed at Mo Mo, but released Mo Mo's waist. Then, a smile appeared on her lips as she said, "I think I understand what you're going to do. Anyway, I've already dealt with Code and Mariana, so adding Charles won't make a difference."

"After all, you, this man, have already taken everything from me, both my body and my soul."

"Well then, thank you in advance, Sisi."
