Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 672: Rebirth and Death
“Why let him go? That’s Kira Yamato! Kira Yamato who can decide the direction of a war by himself!”

After escorting Lars into the delivery room, Stella still asked the question in front of Zhen and Luna. You know, she has been with Siegfried since 71. Even though she did not participate in the first Battle of Yakin, Stella is fully aware of the value of the name Kira.

If Stella were to be asked about the most critical moment of the People's Revolutionary League in the past two years, it would always be the moment when Kira drove the Strike Freedom into the battlefield. Hilde later shared Snow White's combat data with several ACEs, and everyone could clearly see that the Zero System, which was said to be "capable of dominating the battlefield", had been knocked down by Kira.

At that time, Siegfried and Kira were fighting almost entirely on instinct. If Siegfried had not awakened his transformer physique and mastered the quantum clone in time, the outcome of the battle would still be unclear. And once Siegfried failed to win, with Aslan and Shin Asuka having lost their combat effectiveness, the terminal would have successfully disrupted the situation.

By that time, regardless of whether the People's Revolutionary League would have internal conflicts, PLANT would not be able to sign those humiliating war treaties. By analogy, Aslan would not have to take the blame for the defeat. Given his and Lacus's popularity in the entire PLANT, the second alliance between the Klein family and the Sara family was a foregone conclusion.

So in Stella's opinion, there must be some more important reason that forced Lars to let Kira go. There were many people in the square just now, and she waited until now to ask Lindemann her questions.

"According to the first round of reports from the border guards, it is preliminarily estimated that no less than 30 variants have poured into our country. Currently, a total of six cities are exposed to the danger range, and there are countless villages of all sizes. This is just an estimate. In reality, the situation will only be worse."

Lindemann did not directly answer Stella's question, but instead talked about the mutation that occurred on the border. Although Reina rushed directly to the border after performing the most basic body maintenance, and the Zamel Brigade in the royal capital was also transported to the border, before all this, the casualties of civilians on the border were inevitable.

"So someone made a deal with Your Majesty. Now it has been four hours since the border was lost, but the capital has not received any news of even a single settlement being attacked. If everything goes well, we will be able to complete the evacuation of civilians and establish a city defense circle in two hours. This is the truth of the deal."

The truth is somewhat cruel, so cruel that "good kids" like Shin Asuka and Luna didn't know for a moment whether this choice was right or wrong. If Kira was not released, it would not be an exaggeration to say that 100,000 people would die on the border of the kingdom within a few hours. If Kira was released, with Siegfried unconscious and the most reliable link in the high-end combat power of the Celestial Beings missing, the casualties in the future might be far more than 100,000.

"Your Majesty believes in his husband, just as you have always believed in your brother."

But no matter what, Lars has made a decision. Among the four identities of queen/wife/mother/herself, Lars chose to be responsible for the people of Scandinavia. Even if letting Kira go would cause unpredictable consequences, what she cares more about is how many lives she can save.

"Snapped!"

The heavy pressure brought by the truth made Stella silent for a moment. At this moment, Xiaoniao stepped forward and gently put his hand on Stella's shoulder. After looking back in surprise, Stella inexplicably felt a warm and firm power flowing slowly into her heart through the combat suit.

"I won't let Sister Las regret this decision today. Even if I have to face him on the battlefield in the future, I will do my best to fulfill my mission. Even if Siegfried is gone, you still have me!"

Just as he was determined to take on the responsibility that originally belonged to Siegfried, Jegan, whose backpack had been modified, slowly flew to the extremely familiar coastline. The inky sea water kept hitting the rugged rocks, and the modified tombstone finally appeared in front of Kira, and it was exactly the same as the scene in his nightmares for countless nights.

"The purest becomes chaos, the most ardent returns to dust."

The font of the epitaph carved by Siegfried back then was not dazzling, but at least the words were not too blurred. Moreover, from the surrounding environment, it can be seen that the kingdom did not abandon this place, but was continuously doing a certain degree of maintenance work.

"Flea."

The bullet really hit Frey's heart accurately. Reality is not a melodrama. Kira didn't even hear Frey's last words. In a trance, he seemed to remember what Frey, who was lying on the ground, said to him vaguely, but at that time he had lost the ability to act independently both physically and psychologically. So when he reacted, he realized that some things are just like people. Once lost, they are lost forever.

Considering that all the weapons had been dismantled, Kira could only control the fingers of the MS to accurately "press" a small hole on the side of the tombstone, and then he carried Frey's body and stepped on the lifting rope to the ground.

Due to the existence of Siegfried, Kira in this dimension has not experienced too many separations and deaths. It can even be said that because of Siegfried, Kira did not feel too much pressure even on the way to escape on the Archangel.

In Artemis, it was Siegfried who blocked Frey's backstab for him, and then Frey's father died in the accident at Harrow. From then on, the fire of revenge that should have been borne by Kira alone was completely ignited on Siegfried. After descending to the earth, Thor did not die, and Kira did not kill Nygal. Instead, Siegfried and Yitzhak had a real fight, which eventually led to Yitzhak's self-destruction on the seabed. At the same time, Aslan also set Siegfried as the object of hatred for a long time.

Then he was "given" to Lacus by mentor Malchio, and then Kira transformed himself into a messenger of peace. In the Battle of Jakin, he did not disappoint Lacus' expectations, and joined forces with Athrun to shoot down the Providence Gundam. Later, Siegfried's act of "trying to get involved in Genesis" made him a symbol of perfection.

From that time on, Kira missed the chance to become a god. Kira, whose "fate" had been drastically changed in the entire Fate arc, truly became the "Sea Watching God". When Siegfried became mentally ill and Aslan was responsible for the rise and fall of PLANT, he, known as one of the three mythical gods, hid himself in the asteroid factory as if it was none of his business, until Siegfried killed Frey with his own hands.

Kira didn't know if he could have rescued Frey from Siegfried if he had arrived in time, but at the same time he also knew that with the crimes Frey had committed, even if Siegfried didn't kill her, the People's Revolutionary League government would never forgive such an anti-human war criminal. With this confusion, he drove the Strike Freedom into the battlefield during the Battle of the Moon Orbit. Until the end, when Siegfried cut off his machine gun, Kira did not feel angry, but felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Compared to the original timeline, Frey is still dead, but this way of death not only fails to make up for Kira's spiritual leakage, but also fails to help him sublimate his relationship with Lacus. It directly leads to the fact that when Orphie invited Lacus in Berlin, Kira, who was encountering mind-reading hypnosis for the first time, had almost no resistance. If Siegfried had not been unable to bear it and smashed the place, Kira might have faced the first "husband-in-front-of-the-husband" in his life.

“What on earth have I done?”

Even though the kingdom arranged for maintenance, a layer of moss still grew on Frey's tombstone. Kira reached out and wiped it off. He couldn't understand why Frey suddenly became like that. She had obviously chosen a new life, so why did she become the vengeful evil spirit she once was? With such confusion, for some reason, the strange halo eyes and Siegfried's emotionless words echoed in his ears again.

'Looking at the sea will not bring justice to the world, hiding on an asteroid will only expose you to more tragedy. If you don't want to correct the world, then let me be the savior of the world!'

In a trance, Kira put Frey down. Compared with the bloody scene three years ago, Frey now looked more like she was asleep. Snowflakes fell on Frey's face. Her body, which had already begun to lose temperature, did not have enough heat to melt these white elves. They accumulated more and more until they slowly covered Frey's face.

"Kira."

A familiar voice sounded, and Kira stood up suddenly, and found Frey with her hands behind her back and her head slightly tilted, just like when she was in Orb University of Technology, wearing a pink dress and smiling sweetly.

"Flea."

"Kira, don't let tragedies like this happen again. Change this world and change the tragic fate of the people who copied it."

"I can not do it."

"You are Kira, Kira Yamato, who was born to meet the expectations of the world. Don't underestimate yourself."

"I"

"I will always be by your side until the world is completely changed."

Kira stretched out his hands towards the empty sea, then wrapped them around his body and whispered.
"To create a world where Frey can survive"

At the same time, Queen Lars Winslet of Scandinavia gave birth to a daughter. Due to premature birth, the baby was immediately placed in an incubator, but the people guarding the door still heard the loud cry.
