Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1493 [Heaven's Gate] disappears

"Commander, the time has come!"

"Confirm again whether there are any friendly forces remaining in the danger zone."

"Confirming... Completed, confirmed that all friendly forces have evacuated to a safe area!"

"Very good, all ships, [Dimension Devourer], launch."

"learn!"

As Kati's orders reached every Macross-class battleship, large missiles equipped with [Dimension Devourer] burst into flames and roars, detached from the missile launch bays, dragged long smoke tails, and rushed towards [Heaven's Gate] at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, all the missiles came into contact with [Heaven's Gate], and the [Dimension Devourer] was activated. At first, there were only seven or eight small black dots, and then they spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding into a huge black sphere that completely swallowed [Heaven's Gate]. After expanding to its limit, it disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

The [Gate of Heaven] also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed, and was directly wiped out by the eraser called [Dimension Devourer].

"【Heaven's Gate】...definitely destroyed!"

"There are only 3% of the enemy troops left... and they are in a state of disarray!"

"No." After hearing the report, Kati immediately found the problem. Although Ulugaru's army was defeated from the very beginning, the terrifying base number could not be killed in a short time. The range of [Dimension Devourer] could not contain so many enemy troops. There should not be only 3% left.

"The encirclement is closing in. All fleets have their radar detection systems turned up to maximum. Some enemies may be hiding..."

"Commander, we have discovered an abnormal spatial fluctuation coefficient. It is located in the area where the [Heaven's Gate] was originally located. It has a completely different frequency from the spatial fluctuation coefficient generated by the [Dimension Devourer]."

"Completely different frequency... escaped?" Considering that [Heaven's Gate] was originally a large-scale space jump device, Katie's first guess was that the other party had escaped in part when they knew they could not defend it.

"Lumes? Not a bad general."

In the Ulugaru army, the entire command system consists of several legion commanders. Although the royal machines have high status and strong strength, according to the information provided by Tiolia, the two royals who participated in the war were not commanders. One was mentally ill, and the other only advocated personal force and pursued his own desires.

Among all the legion commanders of Ulugaru, Rada and Klein were killed in the battle of Kamiya, Lutier died from the ship's cannon, and Dorugana was captured by Soma Piris. Only Lumes, who specialized in defensive battles, was still alive. It must be his credit that they were able to escape with a part of the Ulugaru people.

"It doesn't matter." Katie didn't feel too sorry. Letting a good general go was indeed like letting a tiger go back to the mountain, but Katie didn't care about just a pretty good general. At the same time, the [Gate of Heaven] had been destroyed, and Ulugaru had lost the passage to come to the earth quickly. The next time they met, it would be that the Promise Legion would attack Ulugaru's hometown.

"Commander, General Graham called and asked us to receive the prisoners."

"Notify the maintenance squad and the Marines to get ready."

"learn!"

"Order, shrink the encirclement, and eliminate all the remaining Ulugaru without leaving a single one alive. Carry out a mopping-up operation!" "Understood!" XN
"Commander Katie, please allow me to go and see the child." Seeing that Katie relaxed a little after giving all the orders, Tiolia asked at the right time.

"That child? Dioruna?"

"Yes, he is still a child. Although he has the royal genes, he was born not long ago. He doesn't know the meaning of fighting, and he doesn't even have a sense of justice. So I request..."

"I refuse." Katie understood that Tiolia was asking her to let go of the child created by genetic engineering, but Katie had no intention of letting him go. This was a very precious experimental material, and she had planned to give it to Durandal for research from the beginning. Otherwise, Katie would not have let Graham take action and capture him alive.

"Commander Katie! This..."

"You can go see him, and try to comfort him, but you can't take him away." Kati said. Dioruna also has Tiolia's genes in his body. Tiolia should be able to provide some help in subduing and imprisoning him.

"...What do you plan to do with him?" Tiolia asked Katie in a deep voice. She had a bad guess.

"Of course it's research." Katie said bluntly, "It is undeniable that your country is very advanced in the field of genetic engineering, even 20 or 30 years ahead of Earth. Our research in this field has reached a bottleneck, and we urgently need new materials like this to break through."

"In that case, I can hereby guarantee that all of Ulugaru's research technologies will be open to you unconditionally and without reservation."

"Do you have it now?" Katie asked Tiolia.

"..."

"In other words, you are just getting something for nothing."

"...I will find a way to contact my mother. She will definitely agree to the conditions I propose. Her words should carry enough weight, right?" Tiolia continued to plead, constantly thinking about the bargaining chips she could use in her mind.

"..." Katie didn't say anything. Tiolia was a bit like Lux, and she usually behaved like an elegant and dignified young lady, hiding her truest side.

Of course, Tiolia's political literacy is definitely not as good as Lacus's, but she can also talk to the Promise Legion as a representative of Ulugaru.

In fact, in Katie's heart, she did not want to agree to the deal proposed by Tiolia for two reasons.

First, the experimental subject was able to gather all the royal genes and showed super combat power. This was not a product that could be produced simply by having the technology. It might even be an accidental success. Its value was unpredictable.

Second, Ulugaru’s army has been crippled, and with Ulugaru’s current military strength, it is no match for the Promise Legion. We must definitely go to Ulugaru’s home planet. When the time comes, in front of the Promise Legion’s powerful fleet, if we ask them for technical information, will they dare not give it to us?

But Kati considered that her decision would affect the relationship between Ulugaru and the Promise Legion, so she could not make a decision on her own and could only answer Tiolia: "I can't agree to your request, but I will report your request to the Federal Army Headquarters truthfully, and the headquarters will inform you after making the final decision. Before that, Dioruna will be under our custody, and you only have visitation rights."

"...I understand, Commander Katie." Tiolia breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't get a positive answer, this was already the best result.
