Ptolemaios Hangar, two White Tiger-class cruisers were tightly on their tail, and Yang Hui and Ian had no time to conduct experiments leisurely. This time, failure meant death; if they were unsuccessful again, Yang Hui would have to pilot the still-unfinished GN Fighter D model into battle.
Originally, the GN Fighter D was supposed to be completed alongside the E model, but halfway through, Yang Hui inserted the development and production of the GN-bit, causing delays in the research and manufacturing of the GN Fighter.
Of course, that wasn't the most critical issue. The biggest problem was... although the adaptability was decent, even if all five Gundams were equipped with it, they wouldn't be able to form effective combat power in a short time. The joint fleet's attack came too quickly, a full month earlier than they had anticipated, so the first batch of GN-bits was useless, and the GN Fighter's debugging was incomplete.
"The output rate is rising, 50%... 60%... 70%... 80%... 85%... 89%, rise has stopped, what should we do, Myer?" Ian asked anxiously, the violent shaking of the ship indicating their dire situation.
Yang Hui did not respond but closed her eyes. The next moment, she opened them wide, a brilliant light flashing, and Yang Hui entered a state of absolute rationality.
"Innovator activated, feel the flow of GN Particles, coordinating Brain Quantum Waves... entering..."
"It's moving!" As Yang Hui entered the Innovator state, the previously stagnant values finally crossed the 89% threshold, reaching 90%. At that moment, the system of Gundam Rasiel finally activated, and the machine entered an operable state.
"Indeed! It's because of the Brain Quantum Waves. The Twin Drive is not just about enhancing the concentration and output of GN Particles; it requires the manipulation and integration of Brain Quantum Waves to completely connect the two GN Drives. If the two GN Drives are two completely independent closed loops, then the Brain Quantum Waves are the connecting wires that link the two circuits!" Yang Hui was also excited. In the original work, Setsuna's experience of activating the Twin Drive was too mystical to serve as a reference, but now that the key had been found, the Twin Drive was no longer Setsuna's exclusive system.
The Dylandy Brothers were out of the question, but Allelujah and Tieria were both users of Brain Quantum Waves, qualified to use the Twin Drive system. Even when GN Particles covered a large area, others who were not Innovators also had the potential for evolution.
"Myer! The synchronization rate is still rising! 95%... 99%... 100%!"
"Okay, thank you, Ian. You and Sumeragi should regroup and prepare to retreat. I'm going to engage."
"Understood."
Although Ian also wanted to figure out what was happening, he understood the situation well; the most important thing now was to survive.
"Sumeragi."
"Yang Hui, have you completed it?"
"Yes, I'm launching immediately. I will destroy one cruiser, and then it will be up to you."
"Okay, be careful and make sure to come back alive."
"Don't worry."
Feldt took over the communication, guiding Gundam Rasiel into battle.
"Gundam Rasiel moving to the launch deck, launch voltage rising, launch timing handed over to Myer Stewart..."
"Received, Myer... let's stick to the real name; it's not a secret anymore. Yang Hui, Gundam Rasiel, launch!"
Gundam Rasiel launched, the two GN Drives glowing green, and Gundam Rasiel sped away at more than double its previous speed.
"Alright everyone, let's move as well, relocate to the second bridge." Sumeragi issued orders after watching Gundam Rasiel depart.
"Understood!"
The group arrived at the second bridge, located at the core of the ship, almost identical to the first bridge, except that they couldn't directly observe space through glass, and the surroundings were covered with multiple layers of E-Carbon armor plates, capable of withstanding a direct hit from Gundam Virtue's GN Bazooka (explosive mode).
Moreover, the second bridge had a separate escape function, designed for this moment. When Ptolemaios was destroyed by the joint fleet, the second bridge would quietly retreat with Sumeragi and the others, creating the illusion that the Celestial Being forces had been completely annihilated.
...
After Yang Hui launched, he immediately appeared on the radar of the White Tiger-class cruiser, but his speed far exceeded the intelligence they had previously gathered.
"Then let's destroy one. Kati should know what to do next. Haro, let's go!"
"Understood! Understood!"
"GN-bit deployed! GN-bit deployed!"
With a series of clicks, Gundam Rasiel's wings spread out like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, the skirt armor fell away, and eight Sword-type GN Bits surrounded her, while the shield-type and gun-type GN-bits sped towards the second ship, directly surrounding it.
The trigger was pulled, and pink beams surrounded the second ship like a spider web. The enemy was still rejoicing, unsure if it was the favor of the goddess of luck, but their late evasive maneuvers failed to dodge all the shots.
But the next second, in the terrified gaze of the observers, the missed beams accurately struck the scattered Shield-type GN Bits around, the turquoise GN Particles covering them like a mirror, reflecting the beams back to hit the second ship.
Main guns, secondary guns, concentrated arrays, missile launchers, engines...
Nothing was spared; with a single volley, the second ship was heavily damaged, completely losing combat and navigation capabilities.
At this moment, the first ship also turned its guns towards Gundam Rasiel.
But Gundam Rasiel sped away, completely ignoring them, much to their astonishment.
"Is he... letting us go?" the crew wondered. The speed at which the second ship was destroyed was simply unbelievable; the dense anti-aircraft fire was easily traversed, and Gundam Rasiel and its GN-bits always found gaps to strike directly at the second ship's hull. Before the first ship could coordinate crossfire with the second ship to drive Gundam Rasiel away, it had already lost combat and navigation capabilities.
With such speed and efficiency, why was Gundam Rasiel ignoring the first ship?
"Don't get distracted! The enemy ship is coming!" Kati reminded, also cursing Yang Hui for being too ruthless; the efficiency of the destruction had even shocked her.
"Huh?" The bridge crew snapped back to attention just in time to see Ptolemaios's bombardment coming. If it weren't for the helmsman being an experienced veteran who executed an emergency evasive maneuver, that shot would have not only melted the armor on the left side of the ship but would have pierced through them entirely.
"All personnel prepare for impact, enter melee combat!"
"Understood!" XN
...
After Yang Hui destroyed the second ship, she charged directly towards the battlefield where the Gundam Meisters were located. At this point, she also received their messages: Gundam Exia had been taken by Alvatore, Gundam Dynames and Gundam Cherudim were surrounded, Gundam Kyrios was in a dire situation against the Into the Array special type and Beiwei, and Gundam Virtue was facing pressure from Graham.
"It's time." Yang Hui connected to the communications of the five Gundam Meisters, instructing, "All units, lift restrictions; the final battle begins!"
Upon hearing this command, the Gundam Meisters were momentarily stunned, then revealed relieved smiles, and together shouted their victory declaration.
"Trans am!"
"What's happening!?"
Watching as the Gundams suddenly turned red, moving like phantoms, everyone was taken aback. Sergei and Graham quickly regained their composure and organized their troops to maintain formation.
"Colonel Smirnov, Lieutenant Aika, Feather Machine is deployed and rapidly heading towards your battlefield." Kati immediately informed Sergei and Graham of this news.
"Understood." X2
The two exchanged knowing smiles and entrusted Gundam Kyrios and Gundam Virtue to their subordinates, heading towards the direction where Gundam Rasiel was approaching.
This was part of the plan, and they knew that if they didn't stop that monster Yang Hui, letting her enter the battlefield would lead to a massacre.
"Lieutenant, Lieutenant Aika and I will intercept the Feather Machine; you handle the transforming machines!"
"That's too dangerous! Colonel, please let me go with you... ugh~!"
"Hahaha! Don't get distracted! Woman!"
Peries had been thinking of following Sergei's lead. Although she was very devoted to Allelujah, at this moment, she was more concerned about Sergei's safety because compared to Gundam Kyrios, Gundam Rasiel was a real monster.
But due to a moment's hesitation, she exposed her back, and a beam pierced through the left arm of the Into the Array special type.
"Lieutenant!" The surrounding Into the Array immediately surrounded the Into the Array special type, searching for Gundam Kyrios's position, but all they could see were red meteors rapidly moving around them, and all their shots only hit the afterimages, while Gundam Kyrios's shots, although blocked by shields, still inflicted tremendous impact on the pilot.
"Min Lieutenant! Everyone!"
"Don't get distracted, Lieutenant! Our mission is to destroy the transforming machines!" Min Lieutenant reminded.
"…Understood!"
Hearing this, Peries could only set aside her worries for Sergei and focus on dealing with Gundam Kyrios.
Unfortunately, Gundam Kyrios was too fast to lock onto.
"Form a dense formation and saturate the area with fire!" Peries ordered immediately upon seeing the situation.
"Understood!" XN
Everyone acted without hesitation, immediately executing Peries's orders. Although she was the lowest-ranking and youngest among them, she had long proven herself with her strength and earned everyone's recognition.
The Into the Array formed a tight circle, rotating and shooting, the dense beams sweeping everything around them like rings.
"What!?"
Hallelujah had not anticipated the enemy's response; the concentrated beams directly hit Gundam Kyrios's right leg and left arm. Fortunately, the GN Shield was positioned in front, preventing the cockpit from being directly hit.
However, this also disrupted Hallelujah's rhythm. Under Peries's leadership, the Dingwu forces quickly locked onto Gundam Kyrios's position and launched a full-scale attack.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate me! I'm a Super Soldier!"
Gundam Kyrios moved again, weaving through the hail of bullets, the GN Submachine Gun firing, directly destroying three Into the Array units. As it approached the enemy formation, Gundam Kyrios discarded the GN Submachine Gun, drew its beam saber, and sliced two Into the Array units that had miscalculated their timing into pieces.
"Dammit! Your opponent is me! Experiment subject E-57!"
"Hahaha! Come at me if you can!"
