Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1490 Red Five Awakens
"It doesn't feel good, but running away is not what a hero does." Hitachi was still very nervous. He could feel the heavy pressure coming from the white royal machine opposite him, but he wanted to be a hero and he couldn't run away from the enemy, not to mention... the opponent didn't look like he was going to let him retreat easily.

"Sure enough, this is more interesting!" The other party's voice sounded in my ears again, more excited and more impatient.

For him, hunting is not just a boring pursuit of prey. What he desires is a battle between equals, and finally, using his powerful strength to chop off the prey's head. This is the hunting he desires!

The next second, the White Royal Machine and Red Five moved at the same time. The long sword in the White Royal Machine's hand was waving vigorously, and the afterimages in the sky formed a wall pressing towards Red Five.

Hitachi also went forward with gritted teeth, swinging a high-frequency vibration chainsaw in one hand and a counter-blade in the other, also leaving afterimages in front of him. In just one second, the two blades of the white royal machine collided countless times, sparks flew, and the sound of metal colliding continued.

"As expected of my La Mata! That's how it should be! Haa ...

Suddenly, the white royal machine was enveloped in a purple aura along with a roar. Its speed immediately increased to a higher level. Even the sharp long sword in its hand turned into a soft object that could be shaped at will, extending a longer distance and lashing like a whip.

Faced with the sudden change, Hitachi did seem flustered at first, and Hongwu also had several scars on his body, but the fact that he had experienced so many battles and received so much training was not in vain. In a very short period of time, Hitachi adapted to the opponent's attack rhythm. The opponent's attack speed was so fast that even if his brain could keep up with the rhythm, his body could not keep up with this speed. So Hitachi immediately decided not to fight the enemy head-on. While dodging and resisting, he used the reaction force to retreat. After he had a little distance, he used long-range firepower to consume the enemy. When the opponent closed the distance, he repeated the above process, trying to retain his physical strength and energy as much as possible. This kind of explosive means must consume a lot of energy. As long as he can hold on, victory will belong to him.

"What's wrong? Is it only this extent?" The white royal machine burst into dissatisfaction. In his eyes, the other party's behavior was a sign of cowardice and fear. He felt a little disappointed for a moment, and increased his intensity to quickly end this hunt that was quite satisfying to him.

However... after continuing to attack for a while, the pilot of the White Royal Machine was surprised to find that he could not take down Red Five in a short time. The opponent was like a slippery loach, constantly slipping through his fingers and he could not catch him at all.

“Tsk, this is too ugly! Let’s end it! Haa ...

Suddenly, the white royal machine stopped chasing, and the pilot roared passionately again. The purple aura covering his whole body suddenly swelled, and the blue lines on the machine also turned purple. At the same time, the machine grew a circle longer, and the spikes on the surface became more hideous. Wrapped in purple flames, it looked like a reincarnated devil.

"Are you kidding me?" Hitachi was shocked, because after the opponent completed the transformation, he just blinked his eyes and came in front of Hongwu, with the long knife in his hand even against Hongwu's chest. If it wasn't for Hitachi's subconscious mind that made him push the joystick and raised the high-frequency vibration electric saw on his right arm to block it, Hitachi had no doubt that with that blow just now, he and Hongwu would have been cut in half together.

Although the attack was blocked, the opponent had no intention of letting Hong Wu go. He stretched out the long sword in his hand again, and swung the sharp blade into an airtight wall, pressing towards Hong Wu once again. This time, the force was greater and the speed was faster. Even though Hitachi had squeezed Hong Wu's performance to the limit, he still couldn't completely block or dodge it, leaving a large number of fine wounds on the surface of his body.

"This won't work! What should I do? Should I run away?" Hitachi was sweating profusely and was already considering escaping. This was obviously not an opponent he could face alone.

"Fight...fight..."

"Eh? Fight? But I can't win." Hitachi didn't know who was talking, but he answered subconsciously in his mind.

"Fight...fight..."

"Yeah, the other party won't let me escape, right? With Red Five's speed, he'll be killed instantly if he turns around, right?"

"Fight...fight..."

"Indeed, if we continue like this, we will lose, and we can't escape. The only way is..."

“Fight…fight!”

"Fight! Haa ...

I don't know why, but the retreat and fear in my heart gradually dissipated under the guidance of an unknown voice, and were replaced by endless passion and fighting spirit.

Along with Hitachi's roar, Hong Wu suddenly found a gap to attack, and kicked the white royal machine out with a fierce kick. At the same time, he also underwent a huge change. His full body armor unfolded, and light blue energy gushed and spread from the unfolded thrusters. He had huge wings composed of pieces of feathers with clear textures, and a flame like a mane was swaying on his head.

“This is…” Hitachi was a little dazed by the sudden change, but immediately thought of the awakening that Yang Hui had told them before, “…awakened?” “Fight…fight…fight…”

"Yes! Of course we have to fight, but... not just for the sake of fighting, but to protect everyone... to be a hero!"

"Om~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hitachi's consciousness was pulled away and he suddenly came to a mysterious space. He seemed to be standing on the water. It was pitch black all around, without any light.

"Where is this? Where?" Hitachi turned around twice, scratched his hair, and finally put his hands together in front of his mouth and shouted loudly, "Hey! Is there anyone there?"

"some."

Unexpectedly, this shout was really useful. Right in front of Hitachi Izu, a faint fluorescent light flickered, slowly forming a human shape, and finally... it turned into the appearance of Hitachi Izu.

"Eh? Me?"

"Yes, I am you and I am not you." The newly appeared "Hitachi Izu" said to the real Hitachi Izu with a smile on his face, "Or, you can call me ASHBM."

"Eh? You are ASHBM? That is... the independent consciousness that Colonel Yang Hui mentioned?"

"Yes, but not completely." ASHBM's independent consciousness explained to Hitachi Izu, "Because your bodies have added psychoframes, they are not completely ASHBM. ASHBM is actually a flawed system that can give birth to self-awareness, but the consciousness born is just a beast that follows biological instincts. It has no wisdom at all. But with the help of the psychoframe, I have been absorbing your mental waves. It is also your mental waves that gave me a certain amount of wisdom when I was born, so... thank you, Izu."

"Eh? It's okay. Actually, I didn't do anything." Hitachi waved his hands embarrassedly.

"Haha, you are worthy of me. However... we don't have much time to chat here now. Let's go out."

"Oh, yes, there are still powerful enemies to defeat, how can I go back?" After being reminded by ASHBM's consciousness, Hitachi knocked his palm with his fist and suddenly realized.

"As long as you want to go back, you can go back."

"That……"

"But before that, say again what you just said."

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

"What do you fight for?"

"Why... To protect everyone, of course! And... I want to be a hero!"

"Crack~!"

At the moment when Hitachi Izu's voice fell, his right palm had been raised without knowing when, and ASHBM's consciousness also appeared beside Hitachi Izu, raising his hand to high-five Hitachi Izu.

"The contract is concluded. Please take good care of me from now on, partner."
