Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1387 Clues to Return

"It's true. We have found clues." Yang Hui did not lie to them. The Academy of Sciences has indeed made some progress in the study of the DBD phenomenon, mainly focusing on the research on the light columns that appeared in Phnom Penh.

After assimilating Kalureum Faul, Yang Hui also learned what the light column was. It was a gate that connected to the subspace where the divine civilization [Eos] was originally located. There were six such gates in total. The first five were the shackles of the last gate and were also a necessary condition for the opening of the final gate.

After in-depth exploration by a group of researchers, they finally discovered that these light pillars would affect the space barrier of this world. The more doors that were unlocked, the stronger the impact on the space barrier would be, the more fragile the space barrier would be, and the more frequent the DBD phenomenon would be.

As for most of the visitors from other worlds on the ship, they came to this world before the first golden-rimmed door was unlocked. This was because of the influence of the subspace where the divine civilization [Eos] was located. The existence of the subspace [Eos] itself had opened a hole in the space barrier that was about to be penetrated. In addition, the questioner occupied that subspace and frequently went in and out, causing the space barrier to become increasingly fragile.

"So that's how it is... Then Mr. Yang Hui, does that mean that if all the doors are opened, we will have a chance to go back?" Ida Takamori asked excitedly, but everyone else looked at him strangely. He felt embarrassed and sat down awkwardly, scratching his hair.

"It's possible." Yang Hui said with a serious expression. This is also the conclusion reached by the researchers of the Academy of Sciences. There are two conclusions in total. "First, the more doors are opened, the weaker the space barrier will be. It is very likely to form a dimensional channel connecting the two worlds. However, it is impossible to determine which world it is connected to. It may be your original world or another world. There is no way to determine this. Second, open all the doors and eliminate the questioner before the dimensional barrier is completely destroyed, eliminate the subspace and close all the doors. After the space barrier is repaired, use the exclusivity of the world to send you back to your respective worlds."

"I see..."
Everyone was happy, but also very embarrassed. The first conclusion was full of uncertainty. In this world, there were people willing to help them, but that was not necessarily the case in other worlds. It could be home, or it could be the next more dangerous stop. The second conclusion was that the exclusivity of the world was not necessarily true. What if the space barrier of this world was restored to its original state and they were not sent back? Then they would be trapped in this world.

Oh, no, there is another way. Wait for Promise Fortress to connect with this world, follow the Promise Legion to perform missions, and try your luck to return to your respective worlds.

"No matter which method is used, the current goal is the same, right?" Elzam grasped the key point and looked at Yang Hui, "No matter which method is used, it is necessary to open the six gates."

"...This is exactly what I wanted to tell you." Yang Hui's expression became solemn, "I will not open any doors again."

"Why!?"
Everyone exclaimed and stood up to look at Yang Hui with puzzled faces. They knew Yang Hui. It was impossible that he made such a decision just to keep them here because he coveted their fighting power, otherwise Yang Hui would not have told them these in the beginning. With their trust in Yang Hui, even if he kept finding excuses to delay, they would not doubt it. They even knew that Yang Hui had too many ways to keep them here and use them for his own purposes.

"Elzam, with your authority, you should know, right?" Yang Hui looked at Elzam. He was the only alien with the highest level of authority on [Drestriga]. He was the only one qualified to read the highest level of secrets in the central database.

There is only one category of intelligence with the highest level of confidentiality, and that is the Temple of Killing.

Others can read the battle records of the Promise Legion, but the relevant information about the Temple of Slaughter is hidden in these battle records.

"The Temple of Slaughter and the [Knights]..." Elzam answered Yang Hui with a sullen face.

"That's right. Our real enemies, the Temple of Slaughter and the Knights, are also our goals for coming to this world, our only mission objectives." Yang Hui nodded and said to everyone, and then explained to everyone present what kind of existence the Temple of Slaughter was and what kind of existence the Knights were.

"Damn it!" "Bang!" After hearing this, Ida Takamori slammed his fist on the table in front of him. The faces of the others were not very good either. On the one hand, they were unwilling and helpless about the bumpy road home, and on the other hand, they were angry about the actions of the Temple of Slaughter.

Regardless of stance and identity, the actions of the Temple of Slaughter can never be called just, and will never be accepted by anyone present.

"In this case, can we still go back?" asked Nanbu Kyosuke with clenched teeth.

Opening the gate will destroy the space barrier. Once the space barrier is destroyed, the [Knights] will lose all restrictions and the army of the Temple of Slaughter will be able to march straight in and invade this world. They will not allow a world that is moving towards peace to be destroyed for their own selfish desires.

"Of course!" Yang Hui said firmly, "I will definitely complete what I promised you. The threat from the Temple of Slaughter and the Knights cannot be ignored, so I will not open the subsequent gates. But if we stop the conspiracy of the Temple of Slaughter and the Knights, we can try to reopen the gates, eliminate the damage of the subspace to the dimensional barrier, and send everyone back to their respective worlds. Moreover, the Academy of Sciences has not given up the research on the DBD phenomenon, and we will definitely find a way to send everyone home safely and accurately."

"...Mr. Yang Hui, we believe you."
Except for Britt and Mizuha Nanye who had just arrived, everyone else believed Yang Hui's promise. Even Zeng Jia, who had not spoken, nodded seriously. Now they could only rely on Yang Hui.

"At the same time, I hope you will continue to lend us your strength and fight together for the peace and stability of this world."

"No problem!"
Everyone nodded again without hesitation. On the one hand, Yang Hui and the Promise Legion had been helping them, and they wanted to repay this kindness. At the same time... no one present could ignore the war in front of them. Even if this was not their world, they were willing to fight for peace.

"Thank you very much." Yang Hui bowed slightly to everyone. This was the most sincere thanks, and it was also the best proof that he regarded them as companions instead of superiors and subordinates.

"Captain Sanye, have you recorded everything I said just now?" Yang Hui stood up straight and asked Sanye Greywallis beside him.

"It's all recorded." Sanye Greywallai was also very shocked. It was also the first time she knew the enemies she would face... not only the enemies of this world, but also existences like the Temple of Slaughter.

If they rely on themselves alone... the consequences will be unimaginable.

"We will arrive at the Federation Army headquarters in two days. I will take Char and the others to attend a meeting to share this information internally. You will preside over the meeting."

"Eh? Me?" Sanye Greywallis pointed at herself in surprise.
