Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 627 Tomorrow
"This is."

In Ptolemy's hangar, a crimson machine stood there. The dark red paint gave people a strong sense of oppression at first glance, but the golden patterns on the wrists and chest added a touch of luxury to the oppressive feeling, as if declaring its identity as the son of Aslanasara.

Ace Maintenance Marduk wiped the sweat off his forehead, turned around and found that it was the real boss who came, so he quickly asked someone to move the elevator over.

"I haven't had time to test the detailed data of the machine yet. It is said that Hilde dragged it out of the Aurora Society just after it was completed. So you must be careful. I can't repair it if it breaks down!"

After sitting in the cockpit, Aslan found that what Marduk called "new" was new in a literal sense. The entire cockpit looked completely unopened. Aslan even had to tear off the film on the screen himself.

“There’s not even any testing.”

"That's how Hilde builds things. You'll get used to it. Besides, the MS she makes will usually only cause problems that your body can't handle. There won't be any other problems. But it's a new machine after all. I'll give you a quick test and you can set up the OS as well."

"It seems that my battle data has been imported. The OS only needs to adjust the parameters. As expected of Hilde."

Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Aslan came into contact with the MS developed by Hilde himself. The Immortal Justice and Infinite Justice had only been slightly repaired before. It was this completely new red series machine that made Aslan realize why Hilde's photos were so commonly seen in the cockpits of various People's Revolutionary League units.

The OS setting is almost perfect, the power distribution is completely based on Aslan's combat habits, and even the seat angle is adjusted to suit Aslan's height. This VIP-level treatment is basically a sugar-coated bullet for MS pilots. At least Aslan himself doesn't dare to think about what to do if Hilde is not there when he changes his machine in the future.

"Let me briefly tell you. Due to the suddenness of the incident, the giant melee backpack in the original design is still in the state of parts, so you are now using a high-mobility backpack. The balance wings on both sides of the waist are made of rare metal Ω, and the built-in particle tank can be used as a floating blade in a gravity environment."

"As for weapons, Hilde said multiple blades/red/2887. Before the giant backpack is completed, I can only satisfy the last two. So I brought you a double-edged beam battle axe. Don't be disgusted. This is a melee weapon in the Phoenix full-equipment plan. Layered armor and beam shields can be cut in half with one sword."

"Wait, isn't this thrust-to-weight ratio a bit..."

With a gentle push on the joystick, Aslan discovered that the thrust-to-weight ratio of the new machine had reached a terrifying value. After ruling out the possibility that Hilde had made a low-level mistake, he could only think that this machine must have used some new technology that he was not aware of.

"I almost forgot to mention that considering that you refused to use the solar furnace, Hilde implanted a GN storage tank in the frame of the machine. The energy tubes you saw on the outside are actually designed to allow the GN particles to form an internal circulation. In this way, a small GN field is constructed inside your machine to reduce the weight of the machine. At the same time, a grating is installed to completely offset the air resistance, so you still have to drive carefully. You have heard that sentence, right?"

"The machine developed by Hilde is good in every way except for the pilot."

"That's good to know. Come on, Captain Sarah. Please bring Siegfried back safely."

The tone of the last entrustment to Marduk was more like a request. Aslan was well aware that most of the crew members on Ptolemy had fought side by side with Siegfried all the way from Heliopolis, so he just nodded silently. It was not until Meiling's portrait appeared in front of him that he remembered that he had not seen the name of the new machine yet.

"Perfect justice? That's true..."

After taking a closer look, Aslan felt a little funny after being stunned. Although he inherited the name of justice, the two words "perfect" in front of it looked like Hilde's silent demonstration. The mentality of a little girl showing off was about to burst out.

'Never mind, it's good.'

Although he had the permission to modify, Aslan thought about it and still pressed the confirmation button. He was not obsessed with the name of the machine. The names of the previous and subsequent Justices were just a habit. He himself did not even like the word Justice after experiencing two wars.

"Aslan Zala, perfect justice, attack!"

The red silhouette of the machine leaped out, and the huge G-force even pinned Aslan to the seat, unable to move. It was not until the grating and the internal circulation force field were fully activated that Aslan regained control of the machine.

"Aslan, you need to get Siegfried to stop as soon as possible. Rio is like a powder keg ready to explode. Due to the explosions from the terrorist attacks and the MS battles, there are now many armed riots in the city. Hazel, the riot control officer of the People's Revolutionary League, is putting out fires everywhere, and there have been civilian casualties. We must minimize the impact as soon as possible!"

Li De took over Meiling's communicator and conveyed the latest situation to Aslan. Before this, South America had just entered a fragile balance stage, and now a terrorist attack directly broke this balance. Li De didn't want his efforts to be destroyed, and he didn't want Tianren to be labeled as the source of chaos, so he could only pin his hopes on Tianren's commander, Aslan Zala.

"I see!"

Although the answer was only four words, everyone in the bridge felt a heavy force. This was the first time that Aslan made a promise to Tianren as a commander. It also meant that from this moment on, he let go of the last trace of barriers in his heart and completely accepted his new identity.

The golden light rushed left and right in the air without any pattern. Canard and Mu Jinzun did not dare to use any weapons and did not even turn on the locking function. They just relied on visual observation to intercept Phoenix.

"Coming towards us, Canard!"

"Too late, Trans-Am!"

Having just been blocked by the tactical weapon Ω of Heretic Sky, Phoenix changed direction without any hesitation. However, the Regeneration Gundam below was afraid of crushing Liu Shenqiang to death in its hands, so it had to descend in altitude and throw the hostage directly to Stella who had not returned to the ship yet.

It was such a tiny opportunity that allowed Phoenix to find a breakthrough. It was too late for Mu to turn around. Fortunately, Liuli noticed it and reminded Canard, and the Fallen Angel opened three reds to block it for him.

"Kanad, come at me!"

"Oops!"

Since the Fallen Angel transformed into human form, the Archer fighter temporarily served as a substitute for the gap above. Then Phoenix changed direction halfway and shook off the Fallen Angel, and turned directly to aim at the Archer fighter. As a semi-auxiliary MS, the Archer fighter could not withstand the huge impact force.

Seeing that Phoenix was about to break out of the encirclement, Aslan's Perfect Justice arrived in time to plug the hole for the Archer fighter. At the same time, the Regeneration Gundam also returned to the battlefield, and the four machines firmly locked the four positions of Phoenix.

"How long will it take, Big Sister? I can only open three reds once more, and the particle reserves are almost exhausted."

"Wait a moment, I'm trying to decipher Siegfried's brain quantum waves. Phoenix's actions are obviously affected by his thoughts, so I want to find out why he won't stop."

"Again, Aslan is going after you."

Perhaps because he was unfamiliar with Perfect Justice, Phoenix adjusted the angle and aimed at Aslan again, but this time Perfect Justice had a terrifying acceleration ability. Under Aslan's control, the red shadow of the machine kept colliding with the golden light, and even formed two continuous light bands in the sky. "Sister! Siegfried's body can't bear it!"

Just as Cagalli urged again, an obscure look flashed across Hilde's face, and then she closed the team channel. This action also made Cagalli notice something unusual. Heretic Tian retracted his gold and silver weapons, and the whole movement slowed down.

'He wants to get out of here'

"Leave? Leave Rio or..."

"No, to be exact, Siegfried wants to go home. This is the only information I got from his brain quantum waves, and this idea became Phoenix's consciousness through the resonance of the telepathic framework. He doesn't want to leave South America, he wants to..."

Before he finished speaking, Phoenix, who had been unable to break through Perfect Justice, returned to the center of the four MSs, and then the two DE armors were also folded to the back.

"Oh no! He's going to quantum jump"

Green GN particles surged out like sea water, and Hilde immediately realized that this was a precursor to quantum leap. Originally, Phoenix had been reluctant to use this trick because she thought Siegfried's severely injured body could not support the consumption of quantization. Now it seems that only instinctive consciousness is left, and after he found that he could not break through the blockade of the Celestial Team, he prepared to forcibly launch quantum leap and leave.

"I won't allow it!"

"Cagari!!!"

Due to the angle, Heretic's position was right above Phoenix. As a result, under Hilde's incredulous gaze, Cagalli opened the cockpit door and jumped out directly without any cushioning device on her body.

"He is my husband. No matter what the world becomes, he is still my husband. I will never let him leave!"

In horror, the Fallen Angel and the Rebirth Gundam activated Trans-Am at the same time, and Perfect Justice also turned on the thrusters to maximum, but due to the suddenness of the incident, the three machines could only watch as Cagalli crashed straight into the Phoenix, which had already turned into a shadow.

Intense wind pressure whistled past Cagalli's ears. At that moment, time seemed to slow down extremely for her. Everything around her turned into slow motion in her eyes. At the same time, the halo that belonged only to a reformer lit up in her eyes again.

"If you still love me, please catch me, Siegfried."

Green particles penetrated Cagalli's body, and then these particle streams seemed to have life, slowly forming a cocoon of light that wrapped her up.

"Stay. Staying is also a fight. A hero will never admit defeat!"

The golden Phoenix gradually got rid of the shadow and stretched out his hands forward. The light cocoon wrapped around Cagalli slowly fell into the Phoenix's hands as if it was not affected by gravity. The next second, the huge particle flow lost control and fell like rain to every corner of Rio.

The strange sight caused the four Celestial Machines to stop. Not only that, Aslan and Shin Asuka entered the state of transformers at the same time. The appearance of the four transformers also intensified the frequency resonance of the GN particles, until the entire Rio was completely bathed in the light of the GN particles.

"Mom is waiting for me to buy medicine. I can't die here!"

"Help me, brother, where are you? It's so dark here."

"Die! All the monsters in the sky should die here!"

"With this money, my sister can buy a new dress and my brother won't have to go hungry anymore."

Countless complex voices resounded in the minds of everyone in this city in the form of spiritual resonance. Anger, sadness, joy, despair, and the connections between people seemed to break through the limitations of space.

Clearly, he could kill the other person by just pulling the trigger, and could slit his throat with just a little force, but now he just couldn't do it. In the end, what calmed it all was a song that no one had ever heard before.
On the Island of Dawn, Mia was sitting quietly outside the wooden house. The four children brought back by Siegfried from Berlin surrounded her and listened to her story about the "savior hero". When the story reached the most exciting part, Mia suddenly stood up and looked into the distance, with a light shining in her eyes.

"Siegfried"

Mia's behavior confused the three children, but soon the older Lockon felt that he had discovered Mia's little secret.

"Sister Mia, you miss your brother, right~"

"That's right, it's obvious from the first glance that Sister Mia has a crush on Big Brother."

"Hey, Setsuna, Tieria, do you remember the song that big brother taught us?"

If you want to find it back,

Then parting is to meet again.
After goodbye, I will definitely meet you again.
I want to lie on the green lawn.
And have fun with the animals.
Because there are many good things happening today.
There will be many wonderful things happening tomorrow.
The sun rises high and the sunset is extremely beautiful.
Wish upon the stars that tomorrow will come,

Why do you want to leave?
Let’s go home together】

The childish voice crossed the mountains and seas, accompanied by Mia's thoughts, and reached the hearts of everyone in Rio.
【Everyone come and listen
our dreams

Everyone knows it
we will be together forever

Are you doing well in a foreign country?
I am living a good life.]

'Before he became a hero, Siegfried was just a human.'
