"Don't let me find out who it is, or I'll make you regret ever being born!"
Danzo could only resort to making threats in secret.
Only the real culprit?
With the help of Red Queen, Uchiha Unsho has already begun research on the Thousand Hands Sage's body.
Several months ago
Gundam World
"Master! We've discovered Lux Klein's trail at the Junius-7 ruins graveyard that you asked me to keep an eye on!"
In a secluded space base, Gao Da Yunxiao suddenly received a notification from the Red Queen.
"Oh? You've finally arrived? Let's go meet this pink-clad songstress!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Dayunxiao immediately put down his research, smiled slightly, and left the laboratory, heading straight to the base's shipyard.
He piloted his own Heavenly God Gundam and charged straight out of the base.
They rushed toward Junius-7 Graveyard at an extremely terrifying speed.
His base wasn't too far from there; with the speed of the Celestial Gundam, it only took him half an hour to get there.
This Gundam is faster than a typical cruiser.
"Red Queen! Locate Lux's position!"
After arriving here, Yunxiao gave instructions to the Red Queen.
"Location confirmed! At coordinates xxx.xxx.xxx, currently inside an escape pod! Also, five Zeon mechs have been spotted engaged in combat nearby! One side is likely protecting Lux, while the other is sent to assassinate her!"
"Also, the Archangel is approaching this airspace and is expected to encounter you, Master, in about ten minutes."
The Red Queen answered truthfully.
"Oh?"
As Yunxiao piloted the Celestial Gundam toward Lacus, he muttered, "Has the Archangel arrived here too? The plot has progressed to this point, but it's still too slow!"
He has no interest in getting involved now!
The best time for him to fully intervene will be when the Earth Federation Forces, controlled by Blue Cosmos, and Plant's ZAFT forces officially go to war.
In the future, if he could control the Earth and even Plant, it would greatly benefit many of his research and space exploration plans.
One person's power is always limited, even though he also controls a Fortune 500 company, it is still far from enough.
If we want to develop science and technology and follow the path of technological evolution, it is too difficult to make progress without the support of a civilization.
He could, of course, sit back and reap the benefits, waiting for other Cloud People from the high-tech world to come in and share knowledge with them.
But by then, he would be completely out of touch and would only be a mere accessory.
This is not the ultimate pursuit of Gundam Cloud.
Wouldn't that just be like a salted fish?
He still has some desires.
At the very least, isn't it interesting to watch a civilization achieve peace under his leadership and challenge for advancement to a higher level of cosmic civilization?
In the future, my lifespan may be infinite, and the people around me will also live forever. It would be good to find something to do and a goal to strive for.
"Captain! We've spotted a strange-looking mech approaching this area!"
"Destroy it!"
"Yes!"
Even the clouds weren't concealed like this, so naturally the Zeon mechs fighting over there discovered them!
The group tasked with assassinating Lux consisted of four aircraft. Upon discovering the Cloud and the Celestial, they immediately decided to eliminate the Cloud as well, as their assassination attempt on Lux could not be discovered.
Or rather, they must not be discovered by anyone they don't expect!
This in itself carries a strong purpose.
"Oh?"
Yunxiao naturally saw the two Genes pointing their guns at him, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
He immediately accelerated the Heavenly God and rushed to within 2 kilometers of the Zeon Group.
"Rip! Rip!"
Strike first and gain the upper hand! Two beams of particle light shot out, attacking the two Zeon fighters!
"boom!!"
They tried to dodge, but they misjudged the speed of the cloud's particle beams and were hit in the cockpit before they could evade, resulting in their immediate death.
"what?"
"You deserve to die!!"
The two dead Zeon comrades, upon seeing this, were filled with rage and rage.
Just then, one of them gathered Lux's guards, who were also slightly stunned, and killed them.
Then, the two remaining Zeon fighters rushed toward the Celestial, firing their guns in an attempt to avenge their fallen comrades.
"too slow!"
Yunxiao felt very bored.
The two are worlds apart in terms of both the technical skills of their mechs and the pilots' awareness!
He easily dodged the enemy's bullets, and the God of War was incredibly agile.
Then, "whoosh!" two more particle beams shot out.
Two more enemies were instantly killed.
"How is this possible? How can the difference be so huge?"
Even on his deathbed, the pilot of Gene had this thought in mind.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by two explosions, Yunxiao piloted the Tianshen towards a life pod floating in the sky.
At this moment, Lux, inside the escape pod, was also visibly shocked.
She witnessed the entire process of the Godship's descent and the instantaneous destruction of the land.
With her extensive knowledge of mecha technology, she could roughly determine that the Celestial was extremely advanced, even more so than the Freedom and Justice that Plant was secretly building.
"What faction's mecha is this?"
"Also, (Zhao, is it Zhao?) What is his purpose in appearing here at this time and eliminating the people who wanted to assassinate me?"
Lux was very puzzled.
At the same time, they also developed a strong interest in the forces behind the Celestial.
At this moment, Yunxiao had already piloted the Celestial to the side of the life pod.
Then, without thinking twice, he picked up the life pod and started speeding away from the airspace.
Lux: "???"
Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away on the Archangel.
Captain Maru Ramias and her team also observed the appearance of the God of War through the detectors, the destruction of four Zeon fighters, and the departure with the life pods.
"What kind of mecha is this? Why have I never seen it before? And was it created by some secret force?"
Maru Ramias muttered with a puzzled look on his face.
"I don't know! I've never seen a similar model, and there are no markings on it! I also don't know what happened here before!"
Mu La Flaga, standing to the side, crossed his arms, shook his head, and looked at the Celestial with a solemn and confused expression.
Chapter 458
"Um! Captain! I saw in the news that the Plant Council Chairman's daughter, Miss Lux Klein, is here paying respects to the innocent civilians who died in the Crimson Valentine incident, Junius-7! Could the previous battle be related to Miss Lux?"
"Could it be that Miss Lacus was in the life pod that the Gundam took away at the end?"
"It's the communications soldier, Miliana, who spoke up."
"what?"
Maru Ramias and Mu La Flag were both taken aback: "There's such a thing?"
"what should we do?"
Everyone on the bridge turned to look at Captain Maru Ramias.
After all, she was the head of this warship.
"You're asking me, but I don't know what to do either!"
Captain Murrue was at a loss: "Putting aside how terrifying that mysterious Gundam is, even if the person in the escape pod is Lacus Clyne, she is still our enemy. We have no reason to attack, do we?"
She couldn't possibly put everyone on the ship in danger for the sake of the daughter of an enemy council chairman she had never met, could she?
"The captain is right! We have no reason, and we must, save them!"
At this moment, Lieutenant Natal Bakiruru, the vice-captain, calmly said, "Moreover, the pilot of that Gundam actually chose to take the escape pod instead of destroying it. Considering the previous battle footage, it's clear that they came to rescue that Speaker!"
"It might be a Gundam secretly researched by the Speaker! What reason do we have to start a war with them?"
"Don't forget! What situation are we in now!"
"Saying it's fraught with danger is an understatement! Right now, getting water is the priority, otherwise we'll all die of thirst in this space!"
Meddling in other people's business is not her style.
Compared to Marlene Ramias, she was a true soldier, with the mindset and behavior of a pure soldier.
"Too!"
After hearing Natal's words, most of the others expressed their agreement.
They are no longer in a position to cause any further trouble.
A very small number of people had different opinions, but no one said anything to refute them.
"Lux? I think she's Athrun's fiancée, right?"
Kira watched the Celestial rapidly disappearing into the distance on the screen and thought to himself.
He was tempted to strike, but ultimately held back.
Obviously, the entire crew would likely disagree.
He could only wish that Lux would be alright!
On the other side, Yunxiao, carrying the life pod, left that airspace at an extremely fast speed, then activated the optical camouflage system and other stealth systems, instantly disappearing into space without a trace.
Half an hour later, he and the life pod returned to the base's dock.
"Master, you're back?"
As soon as he stepped out of the Gundam cockpit, he saw Uncle Fu running towards him with great speed, asking with concern.
"this is?"
Then, Uncle Fu looked at the life pod that was placed on the ground.
"I went out and rescued an interesting person!"
Yunxiao smiled slightly, then reached out and tapped on the hatch lid, sending a telepathic message to Lux inside: "Time to get up, Miss!"
Lux immediately opened her eyes and peered out through the transparent shell of the escape pod, her eyes meeting Yunxiao's.
"What a handsome young man!"
Lux thought to herself.
However, she wasn't some lovesick fool. She quickly snapped back to reality, her mind racing as she sorted out her thoughts and what she should say next before opening the hatch of the rescue capsule.
Holding a pink Hello toy, she sat up from the rescue pod.
"what?"
