Time rewinds a few hours.
Under Ribbons' guidance, Alejandro Corner found the main body of VEDA located on the far side of the moon.
"Oh! This is the main body of VEDA, or rather, the system that constitutes the backbone of the Celestial Being plan." Alejandro Corner excitedly surveyed everything around him; this was the Corner family's two-hundred-year-old aspiration, the core of the Celestial Being plan that the Corner family aimed to seize, the foundation upon which the Corner family stood at the pinnacle of humanity.
"Is it possible? Ribbons."
"It will take a little more time."
"No problem, our Corner family has waited over two hundred years for this moment."
...
Returning to the present, after several hours of effort, Ribbons finally cracked all the security levels and completely took control of VEDA. In front of the control panel, the ground opened, and a dormant pod slowly floated up, inside which lay the sleeping Aeolia Schenberg.
With the posture of a victor, Alejandro Corner strode proudly towards Aeolia Schenberg's dormant pod.
"So you really are here, Aeolia Schenberg, dreaming of witnessing the world's transformation, frozen in sleep without revival…"
As he spoke, Alejandro Corner pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Aeolia Schenberg's forehead.
"...But unfortunately, you will not see the world's transformation. The world you pursued, along with the Celestial Being organization that serves as a suppressive force, will all be inherited by me…"
Looking at Aeolia Schenberg's peaceful slumber, the dormant pod in Alejandro Corner's eyes transformed from a sleep chamber into a coffin, a symbol of generational change.
"...That's right, it is I, Alejandro Corner, who will change the world!"
"Bang bang bang bang…"
Perhaps too excited, after shooting Aeolia Schenberg dead, Alejandro Corner continued to fire his gun, perhaps venting the pent-up frustration he had endured, perhaps flaunting his victory. He emptied the gun without stopping his maniacal laughter.
But at that moment, the surrounding data streams emitted a "zzzz" sound, and the reality became chaotic.
"What's happening?" Ribbons remained alert to the surroundings.
"Ribbons, what is this!?" Alejandro Corner's laughter abruptly ceased as he anxiously questioned Ribbons.
Ribbons cursed Alejandro Corner in his heart for being useless; he was so easily frightened by such a minor disturbance.
Just as he was about to respond, both of them froze, captivated by the image that appeared before them.
"Someone is approaching with malice…"
"A system trap… it seems this old fox has set us up…" Ribbons watched the image, grinding his teeth in frustration.
...
"This old man… just faking his death, was it really necessary to act so pretentiously?" Yang Hui covered his face in disbelief, thinking his bluffing skills had finally matured, only to find out…
"Hey, Myer, what the hell is going on?"
"What exactly happened?"
Looking at the anxious crowd, Yang Hui cast a resentful glance at Sumeragi. Didn't she know? Why not just tell them directly?
In response to Yang Hui's resentful gaze, Sumeragi playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Alas, Aeolia Schenberg is dead, and VEDA has been taken…"
"What!?"
"Then… what about the Celestial Being plan? What should we do?" Christina asked in a panic. Even though they had prepared for this, the confirmation of being abandoned still left her flustered.
Tieria was also in a daze, repeatedly muttering "VEDA… VEDA…"
"Calm down, didn't I tell you? This is part of the plan." Yang Hui covered his face, feeling that his previous explanations had gone unheard.
"But… but…"
"Don't worry, it's just a fake death."
"Fake death?"
"Sorry to scare you all." Aeolia Schenberg reappeared before everyone, still wearing that familiar face, with a background of red data streams.
"Ah~! A ghost has appeared~!" Christina was startled by Aeolia Schenberg's sudden appearance and screamed while hugging Feldt.
"I said, suddenly calling someone a ghost is very rude." Even after becoming quantum data, Aeolia Schenberg was still quite annoyed by Christina.
"Ah? But… but you died, didn't you?" Christina peeked out, looking at Yang Hui.
"He did die, but it's just…"
"Look! Myer said you died! Now you're still talking to us, what else could you be but a ghost?"
"...Just a physical death." Yang Hui suppressed the urge to explode and finished his sentence.
"..."
"Alright, Christina, quiet down. Let's get to the point." Sumeragi patted Christina's face to calm her down, then turned to Yang Hui, "So what do we do now?"
Everyone looked at Yang Hui, waiting for him to issue orders.
"Take turns to get accustomed to the Trans-am system; the detailed information is already in your Gundams. Ian, let's work together to modify and debug Gundam Rasiel."
"Another modification?" Ian exclaimed. Every time Yang Hui modified a Gundam, it was a major project; it was either a complete overhaul or the addition of new weaponry. With the Earth Union's impending attack and not being in the Celestial Palace City, where would they find the time?
"Don't worry, it's just a small adjustment. As for the current Gundam Rasiel… never mind, just take a look at this first." Saying this, Yang Hui transmitted the Twin Drive technical data to Ian.
Ian opened the PAD and was immediately engrossed.
"This… this… this is simply a genius creation! Damn it, why didn't I think of this before? Two GN Drives linked together will exponentially increase the GN Particles…" Ian exclaimed, but then thought of something and widened his eyes at Yang Hui, "Wait! Standardized GN Drives, the collaboration of two GN Drives, you must have been preparing for this day for a long time, right?"
"Exactly. If it weren't for the old man's reluctance to give it to me, it would have been completed long ago." Yang Hui secretly complained to Aeolia Schenberg.
"If I had given it to you earlier, it wouldn't have been about concentrated hatred and military intervention; it would have been a direct push through." Aeolia Schenberg replied irritably.
Upon hearing this, combined with Yang Hui's certain aspects of madness, everyone imagined the scene…
"Yeah, that's definitely something he would do." They all nodded in agreement.
"Uh… let's not focus on those minor details. Ian, let's hurry; we must finish before the battle arrives. Sumeragi, you handle the adaptation of the Trans-am systems for the other units."
"Okay." Sumeragi nodded in agreement. The emergence of the Trans-am system and Twin Drive system made the final relaxation time completely busy. Although it was predicted that they would ultimately lose, having more strength meant more safety. They not only had to complete the Celestial Being plan but also ensure that everyone survived.
Although it's not a ten-thousand reward, I'm still very touched and warmed. Upon careful consideration, a ten-thousand reward is 100 yuan, and 95% of readers are either students or working-class individuals who haven't achieved economic freedom. It's quite difficult to donate 100 yuan, so I feel it's unnecessary.
With a 5000 donation, I'll add an extra chapter!
As a grateful person, I must repay the support of my benefactors!
