Great, we're doomed now!

Galio was filled with excitement. After the turmoil on Titan subsided, he had planned to make a pilgrimage there, but his father had joined the pilgrimage fleet and forcibly left him on Earth to take charge of defense work... He had thought he had lost the honor of being among the first to meet that great man, but he never expected that it would be realized in this way today!

It's true that being conscientious and dedicated to one's duties has its benefits!

Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation pierce his spine from the back of his head, like an electric current running through him, and his whole body jolted violently—

Danger!

Without any reason, but following his instinctive warning, he manipulated the machine to suddenly rise.

Just then, an alarm sounded, and a drone, taking advantage of his distraction, suddenly attacked from the side, its saber aimed straight for the cockpit of [Simonli]!

--bass!

Gundam dodged just in time, and Galio immediately held his breath.

[Simonli] The shoulder cannon automatically locked on and fired several armor-piercing shells in succession, destroying the attacking drone in mid-air.

"what?"

Galio was taken aback. Although he had made the operation himself, his hand and foot movements were incredibly skillful and natural, even making the attacking enemy pass through the preset trajectory. He considered himself an excellent pilot, but this was far beyond his original level.

At the same time, the machine's reaction speed was astonishingly fast, its movements so fluid and agile that they surpassed even the human body, achieving perfect synchronization. The various data on the dial jumped rapidly, the changing numbers indicating that the current output power exceeded the maximum value.

"What's going on... the machine's performance..."

Galio muttered to himself, unaware that a [Chapter Mark] was slowly appearing on his forehead.

The Birdwin family is one of the few families that still bears its mark in modern times, but because its own philosophy makes it difficult to be fair and objective, it has not entered the "inner circle" for a long time.

This mark would normally only appear during meditation, when mental energy is highly concentrated, or when everyone in the "inner ring" resonates with each other. But it lit up automatically at this moment, making him feel full of energy. The fatigue and pressure accumulated in the previous battle were swept away!

But now is not the time to delve into it!

The important thing is that the great one has returned! Earth is saved!

Overjoyed overwhelmed him instantly. Although he didn't know what Ye Shou could do to turn the tide in this situation, he unconditionally believed it.

"Don't just stand there, it's time to launch a counterattack!"

Everyone saw it, right? That great one has returned from the legends, and is here once again to lead us against the apocalypse—follow me!

"To pave the way for that lord!"

Galio shouted into the communication channel, and the [Simonli] reactor went into full power, transforming into a blue-purple phantom as it charged even more fiercely into the drone swarm.

Many soldiers responded to his call!

This group includes pilots from the Tower of Babel, military personnel from various countries around the world, and even civilian security companies. All the ships and aircraft capable of taking off at this time are here, with completely different formations, sequences, and tactics, making unified command difficult. To put it bluntly, they are a rabble, and they are even being overwhelmed by drones that are fewer in number than them.

But inspired by the arrival of the silver demon god, the steel-forged figures in the Earth MS forces burst forth with unprecedented momentum and mobility, all converging towards the direction of [Bayeri].

One, two, three... Soon, the first batch of troops successfully shook off the drones. About twenty Gundam frames with different characteristics, and more than sixty high-performance conventional mobile suits, broke through and converged on Ye Shou's side like rivers flowing into the sea.

—After three hundred years, the fact that so many Gundams could be summoned on such a rushed battlefield made Ye Shou feel slightly dazed, as if he had returned to the time of the Calamity War.

[Bayeri] stood silently in the void, as if inspecting this hastily assembled legion. It issued no commands, simply turning around and pointing its golden greatsword forward—

Those are fragments of the moon that are still slowly falling!

AI cannot remain offline indefinitely, and the reserve force originally intended for backup was also deployed to the battlefield, with approximately two hundred drones setting up a dense fire network in the airspace in front of the debris.

The silver demon has moved!

Like the tip of an arrow, it fiercely slashed at the drone defenses protecting the lunar debris.

"Follow!"

"Follow [Bayel]!"

"Charge!"

No further words were needed; everyone followed automatically, like a flock of geese soaring through the bleak autumn wind and the chilling winter, or like a giant wave sweeping across the world. Even steel fortresses could not withstand their sharpness!

Galio, piloting the [Simonli], followed closely behind Ye Shou. He felt his blood boiling and gradually forgot the existence of the mecha. At this moment, he was not following the legion's lord as a pilot, but as the "Sixty-Sixth Demon God - Simonli".

Clang!

A drone was cut in half!

Ye Shou completely abandoned long-range firepower, and was even unwilling to slow down slightly to aim and fire. He simply pushed his mobility to the limit and charged towards the drone array!

Clusters of fire exploded, and no machine could slow him down even a fraction of an inch!

The other Gundams and mobile suits followed suit, using the gap created by the Bayeri as a fulcrum, unleashing their full firepower and completely tearing apart the drone line that was trying to close in. This elite force charged onto the surface of the debris with unstoppable momentum.

"Disperse! Destroy all thrusters and reactors!" Ye Shou issued the specific combat orders, and no one questioned them at that moment.

The MS forces immediately broke into smaller groups and rushed towards the reactors that were still spewing flames and propelling debris toward Earth. Meanwhile, Ye Shouze changed targets and took out his kinetic rifle to aim at the automatic turrets deployed in various locations.

A single mech taking on an entire fortress defense line is a pipe dream in any era, but Ye Shou carried out twenty-five long-range sniping attacks in just thirty seconds, accurately destroying the energy departments or bases of seventeen turrets, so fast that it was as if there was no recoil.

Next, he rushed straight to the most conspicuous huge protrusion in the center of the debris—where a super reactor was originally buried, serving as the energy core of the entire "Moonfall Project," outputting unimaginable amounts of energy every second.

During the violent earthquake, its metal shell pushed through the overlying rock layers, exposing about one-third of it above the ground, making it look like a "dagger" piercing the earth's crust.

Each swing of the golden longsword precisely destroyed the connection points of the outer armor, while the other Gundam units also displayed their unique abilities, using heavy cannons, physical swords, and even battering rams to frantically destroy the surrounding facilities.

The explosions and flashes of light rose and fell across the debris, like a grand fireworks celebration...

Finally, as [Bayeli] ventured deeper, he found the energy center within the reactor core, which was comparable to a small city, and plunged his sword in with a powerful thrust—

This immediately triggered a chain reaction of explosions, causing the largest reactor nozzles to shut down one after another, and the movement speed of the debris also slowed down abruptly.

But the crisis is not over!

Even without its primary propulsion, the massive rock mass was firmly held by Earth's gravity and continued to fall toward the blue planet due to inertia.

"No, this won't do... Stop it!" Galio shouted hoarsely, realizing something was wrong.

"It's already exceeded the critical point!"

All the pilots felt a chill. The mobile suits that were still able to move flew to the side of the debris facing Earth, braced against the solid rock, and turned their thrusters to maximum power, using their own bodies as "engines" to try to counteract the enormous gravitational effect.

Meanwhile, a portion of the Earth fleet behind them also managed to escape.

Several large warships and cargo ships, in a mixed formation, risked approaching, circling behind the debris and firing thick towing cables and mechanical hooks, allowing motorized engineers to drive in stakes, firmly securing them to a relatively solid area.

--boom!!!

All the engines are firing in reverse, with Earth as their backdrop, pulling a small continent toward the dark and deep universe, joining this tug-of-war with the planet's gravity.

Whether for military or civilian use, whether for mobile suits or engineers, warships, cargo ships, transport boats, or even small shuttles… at this moment, everyone is equal, regardless of their position or status, united by the same belief, their power converges, and countless engines propel the steel construct—

"Don't give up!"

"Keep going! Keep going!"

"Don't stop!"

—An attempt to push this destructive boulder off Earth's orbit.

The silver demon god stood in the void, while Ye Shou sat in the cockpit, quietly watching this scene.

The new generation of berserker power armor, inheriting the core data, covers his entire body, replacing the spacesuit and mask. As a result, his facial expression cannot be seen, but one can only feel a strange sense of nostalgia emanating from him.

slap~

Suddenly, Ye Shou subconsciously turned his head:

He felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

Being inside a closed cockpit is obviously absurd, but the feeling is so real.

But when he turned around, he saw nothing, only a few illusory golden particles dissipating...

-

"Ok!"

The white-haired old man suddenly came to his senses, his face showing a moment of confusion and bewilderment, but he quickly recalled his duties and mission, and a firm expression appeared on his face.

"Am I getting old...? I actually spaced out?"

"Minister Kayellow".

A young man dressed as a secretary approached and respectfully said, "The crew is in position."

"it is good."

Agunica Cayère, an old man with a name that carries countless honors, has lived a life of constant anxiety. Now with his hair turned white, he can look back and say that he has no regrets.

If one had to say something, it was because of the heavy burden he carried that he had always restrained his behavior and had never tasted unrestrained pleasure.

Now is the time to take that step!

I dare not compare myself to the courage and enlightenment of my ancestors, but at least as an old man nearing the end of my life, let me do one last glorious thing!

Rumble rumble rumble...

The thunderous roar of engines echoed underground, traveling along the Sydney coast through underground pipes. Every grain of sand could feel the continuous, faint vibrations, which quickly became noticeable over time, as if giants were constantly stomping on the earth!

The sound didn't come from the crisis of the moon falling, but from beneath our feet. Countless tourists and residents looked around in fear, searching for the source of the tremor.

The tremors grew more intense and their direction became increasingly clear. Everyone's gaze finally focused on the "Temple of Solomon," considered a sacred site that had witnessed three hundred years of history, and they all looked on with astonishment.

--boom!

A piece of steel armor was blown away, bringing out large rivets, and then similar sounds continued to be heard.

"Look! The temple is moving!"

Someone pointed into the distance and screamed, "It, it's up!"

The first reaction of those who heard it was that it was a prank, but when they looked over, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

At the edge where the temple's foundation met the earth, massive rocks and soil were overturned, then crumbled and slid down. The enormous structure, originally buried deep underground and gleaming with a metallic sheen, gradually came into view.

That wasn't the foundation of a building at all, but some kind of... mechanical structure!

"Attention all units! Initiate Level 1 launch procedure!" A steady voice echoed throughout the temple via the internal communication system.

The once solemn and majestic hall was now brightly lit. The main hall on the upper level had been completely transformed. A dense array of control interfaces and control panels with flashing indicator lights occupied most of the room. Staff members in uniform were busy at their posts in an orderly manner, and various professional instructions were being issued one after another.

"Core energy output is stable!"

"Anti-gravity array power increased to 70%...80%...90%!"

"Structural stress is normal; all anchor points removed!"
