Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Samael's gaze fell upon the exquisite face cradling the puppet, and his last remaining hope plummeted.

Tsk, there are actually two Pilots crammed into the Emperor Titan.

He had hoped that Artoria on the other side could distract this dead fox and give him the opportunity to retrieve his weapon and fight back. However, he did not expect that she had an accomplice who was responsible for monitoring the other side.

That's it, there's absolutely no chance now.

"Well, it seems I'm the ultimate winner."

The fox spirit kept her gun firmly aimed at another trapped beast in the shell crater, and pursed her lips as she uttered a joyful declaration of victory.

"Do it!"

"Oh……"

At this moment, accompanied by Koyanskaya's cold laughter and urging, Anastasia, who had been silent all day, nodded blankly, then obediently pulled out the pin of the arc grenade in her hand, and then raised her slender arm and threw it forward forcefully towards the trapped Artoria.

send……

At this point, Samael, having reached the end of his rope, resigned himself to his fate, closed his eyes, and offered a dejected assessment.

"Bangdang..."

However, accompanied by a crisp metallic clang and the clattering sound of a round, heavy object rolling around, Koyanskaya, who was confident of victory, couldn't help but look down in surprise.

Before her eyes fell a pineapple-sized, spherical metal object that rolled right to her feet, its port crackling with a ghostly blue arc of electricity.

Koyanskaya stiffly raised her neck, looked at the head of the Emperor Titan, which was no more than two meters tall, and Anastasia, who looked completely innocent beside her. A Japanese curse word, accompanied by endless grief and indignation, brewed in her heart.

I XXX...

"Boom!"

However, before they could speak, a violent roar and flashing blue electromagnetic arcs completely engulfed the two figures.

"..."

At this moment, Samael, lying in the crater, stared at the deep pit in the open space ahead, and at the two square metal boxes beneath the wisps of smoke. His lips twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.

That's it, they won?

After a moment, the ancient snake, having recovered from its confusion, looked at the two completely blacked-out avatars on the public channel and felt a strange pang of sympathy for that scoundrel.

But in an instant, Samael grinned, his smile unusually joyful, and gave a heartfelt thumbs-up to a certain traitor who had made a name for himself.

Your Highness, well done!

So, next...

After calming himself down, Samael quietly bent down and picked up the abandoned Temple Beam Gun from the side, his face full of ill intent.

However, the moment the ancient serpent stood up and looked ahead, its pupils contracted sharply, its face filled with astonishment, as if it had seen a ghost.

"boom!"

Moments later, accompanied by a muffled roar, the ground shook violently, and dust several meters high rose from the ravaged battlefield.

As the dust settled, a gigantic humanoid machine, 18 meters tall, painted in red, blue, and white, with two antennas on its head, holding a shield in one hand and a large submachine gun in the other, stood on the ground. Three pairs of scarlet wings extended from its back, making it look like an angel descended from a sanctuary.

Samael slowly moved his stiff neck, staring blankly at the steel behemoth in front of him at the widest angle. He squeezed out a greeting through gritted teeth, and then a broken expression appeared on his face, a mixture of crying and laughing.

Damn it! Destiny Gundam!

As chaotic thoughts surged, the parameters of the mechanical creation before him involuntarily surfaced in the ancient serpent's mind.

Height: 18.08 meters

Weight: 79.44 tons

武装：MMI-GAU26 17.5mmCIWS、RQM60F烁刃2光束回旋镖、M2000GX高能远程光束炮、MX2351隔绝光光束盾、MMI-714阿隆戴特对舰激光刀、MMI-X340掌中枪掌部光束炮、MA-BAR73/S高能量光束步枪、专用盾牌。

ZAFT's general-purpose MS.

Its performance is among the top in the chaotic Gundam system.

"Let's end this pointless conflict and conclude the game, everyone..."

At this moment, a gentle yet magnetic voice came from the driver's cab, echoing in everyone's ears, carrying an undeniable sense of reality and pressure.

That familiar voice instantly made Samael realize that the person sitting inside was none other than the Grand Magician, King Solomon.

Damn! Master and Bazett have no chance of winning against this thing!

At this moment, Samael finally understood why Lancer had left the field early.

Give up?

The ancient serpent narrowed its eyes and looked up at the Destiny Gundam, which stood on the earth, bearing six pairs of wings of light that almost blocked out the sunlight, like a judge descending. It couldn't help but chuckle, and its eyes instantly sharpened.

Now, even angels have to call me "Dad" when they see me!

In the blink of an eye, Samael grabbed the Templar Beam Rifle and fired at the "Judgment Angel" in front of him to attract the enemy's attention. At the same time, he opened the team channel and roared in a solemn voice.

"Artoria!"

"then!"

At the same time, Artoria, who was in the crater, understood and grabbed the two metal boxes that Koyanskaya and Anastasia had left behind, and threw them to Samael behind her.

"Artori Element, unfold. Holy Lance Armor (Avalon), combine!"

In an instant, with a series of signature moves, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky. Artoria, who had been shielded by the invincible transformation time, was once again clad in the silver-blue knight armor of the cosmic era.

Samael, behind him, also finished looting without hesitation, jumped into refresh mode, and re-manifested in the cockpit of the Imperial Titan, officially becoming a Pilot.

"Iron Pilot, please establish a neural link with me..."

"permit!"

"Protocol 1, neural connection, complete!"

The heavy electronic sound rang out, making Samael's body go numb.

Click...

Kaka!

With the roar of engines and the rhythm of machinery, the Imperial Titan, holding an XO-16 heavy mech assault rifle, stood firmly on the ground.

[Battlefield conditions confirmed; this unit is still in combat.]

[Agreement Two: Uphold the mission and assist the Pilot in achieving final victory!]

The heavy, mechanical steel body, the alloy barrels and muzzles gleaming with a cold, eerie light, the faint smell of engine oil in the cockpit, and the system refreshing and restarting on the screen all stirred Samael's heart as he sat in the driver's seat. He gripped the control stick with both hands and solemnly gazed at the battlefield ahead, at the dark cloud that obscured the sky.

Come on, let's see if you destroy us, or we perish!

Chapter 171 The Wedge of Heaven, The Voice of God (4.5k)

"Boom boom boom!"

On the battlefield, crimson laser beams and whistling missiles flew across the battlefield, their colliding energies splashing in all directions, causing dust to rise, the ground to collapse, and leaving behind craters of all sizes.

Although there is a clear difference in size and firepower between the two sides, even Samael's Titan mech is nothing compared to the nearly 20-meter-tall Destiny Gundam.

However, the Emperor Titan with its evolution core, and the Knight King with the buffs of both Kamen Rider and Jedi Knight, are not to be underestimated and still possess the power to fight.

In front of the control panel, which was lit and dimly lit, Samael's hands moved and twisted in a dazzling display. With his extraordinary nerve perception, he made the Imperial Titan beneath him move as if it were his own arm. It leaped and bounded, dodging left and right, and rushed forward rapidly amidst dense beams of light and missiles.

"Energy Backpack! Core Engine! Wings of Light! Cockpit!"

As the distance closed, the ancient serpent raised its energy shield and solemnly spat out a series of parts.

"Buzz!"

Following closely behind Samael, Artoria, hidden behind the Emperor Titan, received orders and, amidst a tremor in the air, unexpectedly burst out from the shadows. With her small size and superior mobility, she clung to the steel body of the Destiny Gundam, searching upwards for the behemoth's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

However, facing this pincer attack from above and below, the Destiny Gundam also made dazzling counterattacks with a variety of maneuvers, such as the G-Force, backflip, and Thomas Flair.

Although limited by its massive size and mechanical delays, the Destiny Gundam's speed and reaction time are not ridiculously fast; in fact, Samael and Artoria perceive a strange sluggishness in it.

But whether it's raising its hands or knees, turning its body to the side, or even making a tiny adjustment to the thrusters, the Destiny Gundam's movements seem to have no superfluous actions whatsoever.

Every time the two sides clashed, whether it was flanking from above or below, maneuvering left or right, or frequent feints and positional changes, Destiny Gundam always saw through the illusions, looked directly at the truth, and accurately cut off the edge of Samael and Artoria's cooperative attack.

"Bang! Bang!"

Amidst the surging crimson light streams on both sides, the Destiny Gundam rapidly flapped its six pairs of dazzling wings of light, easily widening the distance once again. Adjusting its posture, it then casually raised its MA-BAR73/S high-energy beam rifle, as if it had anticipated this, and precisely fired at the two's landing points, forcing Samael and Artoria, who had rushed forward, to retreat in disarray.

A clairvoyant? Future vision?

As his actions were seen through one after another, Samael seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes gleaming, and an invisible rhythm, like ripples in the air, quietly spread outwards from himself.

In an instant, the Destiny Gundam, which had been floating in the air with its vibrating wings of light, suddenly came to a standstill as if it had crashed.

good chance!

At this moment, Artoria, who had been watching the battlefield closely, saw this and her vertical pupils narrowed. She rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, and the two lightsabers in her hands transformed into sharp points several meters long. She slashed and cut at the huge creature in front of her.

Creak! Creak! Creak!

Instantly, a series of teeth-grinding metallic tremors rang out. The Destiny Gundam's left arm, right leg, and even the Light Wing nozzle on its left side exploded in sparks under the flashing sword light, separating from the main body and falling from the sky.

The "perfect angel," who repeatedly anticipated the enemy's moves and seemed to be able to see the threads of fate weaving through all things, has become incomplete and desolate.

how so?

Solomon, inside the driver's cab, stared blankly at his hands. His eyes, which once saw through everything, now only revealed chaos and blur.

In this confined space, nerves become dulled, the body becomes sluggish, and even the five senses are no longer as sharp as they once were...

He now seems no different from a frail, ordinary person.

Even when he looked up, the stars in the sky appeared faint and dim in his vision.

God's grace has departed from him.

In a daze, a strong sense of shock and helplessness filled Solomon's heart.

With the roar of the Monarch Titan's engines, the refilled missile pods opened, and missiles and laser beams that had been fully charged ahead were ready to be launched.

Since you desire to lay down your burdens and return the divine gifts to God.

Then, I will grant your wish.

The second wedge of heaven, Solomon...

Samael, in the cockpit, gazed at the distant screen with an indifferent look, as if he were simply observing a moth that had fallen back into the net of fate, about to have its limbs devoured and be on the verge of death. In the desolate darkness, his thumb pressed the scarlet launch button on the control stick.

Whoosh whoosh!

In an instant, the earth shook, and countless missiles, with sharp whistles, streaked across the sky. The Emperor Titan, standing on the earth, opened its bloodthirsty maws toward its hovering target.

not good!

King Solomon instinctively pulled the control stick to stabilize the downward trend. At the same time, he activated the MX2351 beam shield that came with the Destiny Gundam to block the laser beam shot directly from the Emperor Titan. He also retrieved data about the machine in his brain and activated the VPS armor that defends against live ammunition.

"Boom! Boom!"

However, due to his clumsy technique and slow reaction speed, before King Solomon could complete all the defensive measures in an orderly manner, several missiles bombarded several joints where the VPS armor had not yet been activated.

Amidst the violent tremors, flying shrapnel pierced the internal mechanisms of the Destiny Gundam, exploding into bursts of sparks. Even Solomon King, sitting inside the cockpit, experienced mental confusion amidst the shaking and roaring.

Again!

Seeing the danger warnings flashing everywhere on the control screen, and another group of flying heat sources being detected, King Solomon didn't have time to think and instinctively activated the MX2351 beam shield again.

However, due to the damage to the VPS armor, many key parts were exposed, making it impossible to target them with Hellfire live ammunition.

Solomon simultaneously launched decoy flares and raised his MA-BAR73/S high-energy beam rifle to destroy as many missiles as possible that penetrated the barrier.

However, the lack of familiarity after losing the [Revelation] made the pilot's operation quite sluggish and awkward.

Before long, the clearly visible Destiny Gundam was hit by a barrage of heavy fire. Shattered alloys and parts, mixed with shrapnel, flew everywhere, and the Angel, barely maintaining its shape, fell again.

"Stab!"

Even worse, there was a menacing Knight King nearby who, with his superior mobility, repeatedly found the Destiny Gundam's blind spots, wielding two lightsabers to brutally destroy and cut into the machine's vital components.

Soon, the MX2351 beam shield that had helped the Destiny Gundam withstand fatal blows on multiple occasions was also completely destroyed by Artoria's elusive attacks.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Behind them, two RQM60F Sparkling Blade 2 beam boomerangs, intended to restrain Artoria, were slashed into brilliant sparks by the two beam swords. The Knight King, freed from his restraints, brandished his beam sword and charged menacingly toward the cockpit.

Meanwhile, at the front end, hundreds of red dots of light, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, converged once again on the screen.
