Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1274 Next Stop, Mountain City
In another world, the city of Shegatu is desolate and has not been upgraded. Only the huge crystal flower standing in the city is shining with a faint light, trying to call back the vitality of the earth. However, as soon as it sprouts, it is polluted by the decadent atmosphere and withers.

"Really? Does the other party possess such powerful strength?" Under the crystal flower, a black-haired man wearing gray armor and a dark blue robe looked at the bright white light in his palm. Looking carefully, there was a small white wolf shadow in the white light, which was 70% similar to the white giant wolf Inoba.

"Yes, master. The opponent's power is beyond imagination and more terrifying than the three magic knights. I can feel that the opponent has more terrible means that have not been used." The white wolf Inoba reported respectfully. The man holding its soul was naturally its master, the Xifeiro priest Shegatu, and the phantom of the white wolf was Inoba's soul. After being captured by Yang Hui, Shegatu used powerful magic in another world to summon Inoba's soul back alone, thus escaping the fate of being captured.

But this was a huge price to pay for Shegatu. Not only did he look very weak,
"Okay, I get it. The failure of this operation is not your fault."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Master."

"Recover your physical body as soon as possible. I will find a way to send you through another passage to return to that world. What you need to do is not to launch a large-scale attack, but to hide yourself and try to find out as much information as possible about these people and that special force."

"Yes, Master."

Shegatu waved his hand, and Inoba's soul flew away and merged into the world. Shegatu put down his hand, looked up at the crystal flower in front of him, his eyes full of attachment and love, but also mixed with sadness and pain.

"Shegatu... Shegatu..."

A light and pleasant female voice came from the center of the crystal flower, also filled with sadness.

"Shegatu, please, stop it. This is the law of Xifeiluo."

"I know." Xie Jiatu's expression did not change at all, like an ancient well without ripples.

"Xiegatu!" The source of the voice knew that although Xiegatu admitted it verbally, he definitely had no intention of giving up.

"I understand. As a Pillar, you must support Sefiro with prayers, and I am the one chosen to assist you... Sefiro's laws are all determined by will, and I know this better than anyone else. The mission of the Magic Knight is also..."

"In that case..."

"No, I will defeat the Magic Knight, no matter what the consequences may be." Shegatu said firmly, and no advice would have any effect on him.

"..."

"Emeno, I always make you cry, even though I long for your smile more than anyone else..."

The woman trapped in the crystal flower was none other than Princess Emeno, the Pillar of Siphiro who was captured by Shegatu. And Shegatu...his emotions only fluctuated when he talked about the private matters related to Princess Emeno. He was enveloped by sadness, helplessness, and guilt.

"Shegatu..."

"The legend of the Magic Knight... I will definitely shatter it!" After strengthening his determination once again, Shegatu turned and left. He still had to arrange matters related to entering the world.

Coming to the Crystal Flower to chat with Princess Emeno is his daily schedule, even though he never gets the desired result, even though it only makes his beloved worried and cry, he has persisted for ten years.

This is the daily glue, the glue that glues his heart that is on the verge of breaking back together, no matter whether it can be completely glued together, no matter whether the heart after gluing is still the original one, but... this is also the most important reason that supports Xiegatu's heart from breaking, and supports Xiegatu to insist on going on the path he has chosen.

"Wait, Shegatu! Shegatu..." No matter how Princess Emeno called, Shegatu could not turn back.

……

"So, what we can confirm now is that the bastard is indeed not dead, magic that can touch the soul and cross the world exists, and Shegatu can use it."

"That's right, but even Shegatu will have to pay an unimaginable price."

At this time, Yang Hui was communicating with the three demon gods, Reyas, Ceres and Wendam, in the hangar. After all, Shitang Guang and the other two were just girls. How much valuable information could they provide? But Reyas, Ceres and Wendam were different. They had existed for a long time and knew much more about Xifeiluo than Shitang Guang and the others!
"Um...where's the Blue Hole?"

"impossible."

"Even Shegatu's will cannot open the passage between the two worlds."

“And it’s a stable, large-scale channel.”

Reas, Ceres and Windham spoke in turn, complementing each other.

"Then we can conclude that Shegatu is not the mastermind behind this. There must be something more powerful behind him."

"Yes."

"We can feel it too." "Behind Shegatu, there is a more terrifying darkness and evil. That is the real test we need to face."

Yang Hui nodded. He was basically certain that Xie Jiatu, who was regarded as the biggest villain by Shitang Guang and the other two, was at most a small BOSS. There must be something hidden behind him. An existence that could be regarded as a severe test by the three legendary demon gods must not be a simple existence. The biggest problem...

"Have you heard of the Knights and the Temple of Slaughter?" Yang Hui asked the three demons.

"...No."
The three demons denied at the same time that they had never heard of the existence of the Knights and the Temple of Slaughter.

"Really? I see." Yang Hui did not ask any more questions. Xie Gatu was still in another world, and the method to pass through the blue hole was still unknown. Even if he asked the three demon gods, he only got an ambiguous answer that he needed to get approval. Therefore, it was difficult to investigate Xifeiluo and Xie Gatu. "Thank you very much for the information you provided."

"You're welcome. We now have a common enemy, so we should work together." Reyas said to Yang Hui, "But... you..."

"Ok?"

"You are strange and special."

"And the man named Xia and the woman named Lara Sing."

"You are human, but not human. You have an extremely powerful force in your body... but you cannot tell whether this force is good or bad."

"You have to pay to get something, but this price is worth it to get powerful strength." Yang Hui shrugged. He knew what the three demon gods wanted to say, but he had different ideas from them. "As for my identity as a human... my heart is human, so I am a human. As for strength, I never think that strength can be divided into good and bad. Strength is just strength after all. The person who can really distinguish between good and bad is the one who uses it."

"……You do not understand."

"Darkness corrupts people's hearts and makes them degenerate."

"Over the years, without exception, we have witnessed too many people who had good hearts but eventually fell into darkness."

"Haha, that only proves... they are not firm enough." Yang Hui smiled and didn't care about the three demon gods' underestimation. He was also a man who had lived for hundreds of years. Although he had never come into contact with magic or any dark power, but...

He dared to say that the filth and darkness he had witnessed were definitely not comparable to those of these three demons. What they had come into contact with were merely a concept, or very few people who could influence the world.

But what Yang Hui came into contact with more were the general public, ordinary people who were normal in the eyes of the devil. Threats, kidnappings, assassinations... aren't these dark and evil?
Hell is empty, the devil is on earth.

There is a devil living in everyone's heart, and Yang Hui is no exception. Without a firm will, anyone can fall, but if one has a firm will, no matter how tempting things are, they cannot be shaken.

"...We are looking forward to it."X3
The three demons were silent for a moment before responding to Yang Hui.

After finishing the conversation with the three demon gods, Yang Hui received a message from Sanye Greywalle, asking him to go to the bridge immediately to decide the next destination. At present, there is no new order from Rebil, and there are no very urgent mission targets recently, so the next action needs to be planned carefully.

"Mountain city." Yang Hui gave his answer without hesitation.

Sanye Greywallai was stunned. She didn't understand why Yang Hui mentioned repeatedly that he wanted to go to Shancheng. According to her understanding, although Shancheng also had frequent DBD phenomena and was often invaded by mechanical beasts, the Third Fleet led by Gerhardt had been stationed in East Asia. The mechanical beasts were almost destroyed as soon as they appeared and did not cause much damage. So there was no need for Drei Kreuz to provide support there, right?

Oh, now I remember there was a big event in the mountain city recently. Three world superstars, [Peace Songstress] Lacus Clyne, [Galaxy Fairy] Shirley Lu Nome and [Interstellar Elf] Li Lanhua, will jointly hold a concert. The purpose is to calm the tension of the people in the mountain city, and at the same time inspire people and enhance their trust and enthusiasm for the Earth Federation Army.

But this doesn't have...much...to do with Drei Kreuz...right?

Thinking of this, Sanye Greywallis looked at Yang Hui with a strange expression. Combined with Yang Hui's personality, it seemed... maybe... maybe...

"Ahem." Not only did he feel the strange look from Mitsuha Greywalle, but his mental wave also told him what the other party was thinking. Yang Hui coughed awkwardly and gave an excuse... Ah, ugh! It was a reason, "First of all, three SRX series machines are manufactured in East Asia, so we can go there to receive them. Longsheng and the others have asked me more than once. Secondly, there is no urgent goal to be completed now. We haven't had a good rest since we set sail, so we can take this opportunity to relax. The mission is important and we need to combine work and rest. Then, I accidentally learned that everyone on the ship is their fan. Isn't it good to give them this opportunity? Finally, we can go to Europe. GGG has an operation in Rome, Europe, and we can go to support them."

"that is it?"

"that is it."

"But I don't believe it."

"You have to believe it even if you don't believe it."

"...Okay, I agree. Our next stop is East Asia Mountain City." Sanye Greywallai absolutely did not believe that Yang Hui's reason was so simple. He definitely hid a crucial reason for him, but... he could guess it, and he did not ask questions out of curiosity. Instead, the smile on his face became more and more playful, causing Yang Hui to curse in his heart.
