"I am the representative head of the Orb United Chief State, Cagalli Yula Asghar."
Cagalli on the TV showed a determined expression.
Everyone in the Archangel stood in the lounge and listened quietly.
Anyway, express your will first, and then we'll see what happens.
No matter what you want to do or what you want to accomplish, will should be the first to appear.
Human beings should look for 'power' only after setting a goal because of what they want to do.
Rather, I want to accomplish something because I have the power.
Watching Cagalli on the TV, Aslan felt like he was reunited after a long absence.
After being sent to the infirmary for the second time, Cagalli stopped visiting him.
This war caused Orb to lose many cabinet ministers. In the future, Cagalli will most likely have to run around for state affairs again, and she may not even have time to sleep.
He could understand this - but to be honest, he did feel a little lonely in his heart.
With such thoughts, Aslan lay quietly on the hospital bed and looked at the girl reflected on the screen on the wall.
Because she had no familiar friends, Mei Ling sat aside and took care of Aslan.
I have to say that Meiling was very happy at this scene.
At the same time, in the open space outside the Orb press conference, a mobile suit painted in bright red slowly landed.
"Lux."
Just as he was about to walk up the steps, Noel suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Lux stood on the steps and looked at Noel, who was supposed to go with her.
"You said that when you have something you want to do but find that you can't do it, it's a kind of unspeakable despair."
Noel murmured, turning around and looking at the starry sky above his head.
"Noel?"
Lux looked confused.
"And now that I have the power to accomplish certain things, I think I have to do something that matches this power."
In the end, Noel did not reveal the existence of Requiem.
Requiem is located on the far side of the moon. Now that ZAFT has blocked the space routes, neither the Archangel nor the Archangel can reach it in a short time.
So saying it will only increase your troubles.
Although Jibril is dead, normally there is no possibility of triggering the Requiem, but what if.
The people at the base on the far side of the moon are not religious people.
Besides that there is Durandal.
Without the existence of the Requiem, there would be no foreign enemies of fear and solidarity due to the Requiem.
Can Durandal's plan be implemented normally?
Will he let Requiem go to waste like this?
What the answer was, Noel was not sure.
But if you ask him to place his hope of saving this tragedy on the goodwill of Durandal and the lunar base garrison, he really can't do it.
"Noel——"
Lux was speechless for a moment, but she felt inexplicably uneasy.
"You have things you have to do, and I have responsibilities I have to fulfill."
Noel said, reaching out to touch Lux's cheek, and smiled: "Don't show such an expression, I will go up and take a look. With my strength, as long as I want to leave, no one can leave me."
Seeing that Noel had decided to leave, even though Lux felt a lot of reluctance in her heart, she could only nod in agreement.
"You must come back."
But Lux couldn't help but say what was in her heart.
"Don't worry, I'm a man who climbed out of the abyss."
After speaking, Noel turned around and walked straight in the direction of the Eternal Covenant.
There is nothing moral about this act, nor anything else.
He just wanted to try to save some unnecessary tragedies.
Even if it is really impossible to catch up, even if it is really impossible to save, at least you have taken action, and you will not fall into self-blame for it one day in the future.
People still have to have a conscience.
It doesn’t matter how much, but at least there should be.
soon.
Under Lux's gaze, the Eternal Covenant Engine started, unfolded its wings of light and flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Pillar.
If you want to reach the moon as quickly as possible, the best way is to first go to the Heavenly Pillar and install the propulsion device.
Although in theory, the Eternal Covenant is the only mobile suit that can leave the atmosphere alone, but just in case, it is better to go to the Heavenly Pillar to transfer first.
After all, the light wing can't always be on, right?
Noel's departure did not cause too many waves.
On TV, Cagalli sat upright, her tone was clear, and her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.
[——Today, through the media around the world, I would like to express my condolences to Mr. Gilbert Durandal, the President of the Supreme Council of the Colonies, who recently asked our country to extradite Lodo Jibril and at the same time use force to invade our country. view……】
Aslan felt a little shy at first because of his knot in his heart, but seeing how calm she was, he relaxed and focused on her speech.
At this moment, she is the real Cagalli.
Kira and Fleur also surrounded each other and stared at Cagalli on the TV.
[Speaker Durandal once issued a statement on LOGOS, and the content was indeed shocking. The Speaker vowed to defeat LOGOS and create a world without war——]
[In the current turbulent situation, as a politician, or from a human standpoint, I have to admit that the Speaker’s ideals really make me yearn for it. However, that is——]
At this moment, noise appeared on the screen, and Cagalli's broadcast screen was suddenly replaced by another screen.
Appearing in this scene is another girl.
Seeing the figure reappearing, Aslan and Kira both gasped.
"I'm Lux Klein."
The speaker is Mia Campbell - Durandal's puppet.
Her video was inserted into the official channel for no reason.
"Everyone must have heard about the war that took place in Orb a few days ago. Why this country, which once had good relations with the colonies, chose to harbor Jibril, I still can't understand."
Mia spoke to the world with her clear voice and vivid intonation, as always.
"Gibril is the leader of the Blue Universe - the one who launches nuclear weapons into the colonies. He is also the one who instructs destructive weapons to wreak havoc on cities, devastate lives, and even make children a tool of war. Such a murderer, why would Orb Want to protect him, even at the risk of a fight?"
By saying this, she clearly wanted to portray Orb as a country that colludes with LOGOS and works for other countries.
Aslan couldn't help but get angry after hearing this.
No, this was not her intention, but the instruction of Durandal who was manipulating her behind the scenes.
"Under Orb's protection, we once again missed the opportunity to arrest Jibril..."
"Our world is full of temptations, and hoping for better things and more possessions is not a bad thing."
When Mia said this, her eyes became sharp.
"But! LOGOS is another matter. It is an unacceptable existence and an evil that should be despised. We should treat it——"
Noise interrupted her voice and the scene was split into two.
The newly added scene reflects the scene where Cagalli made a statement at the Executive Yuan.
"——Everyone, please don't be fooled by the appearance of that speaker."
However, the new screen has the same clear voice as the one next door.
The same pink-haired girl stood next to Cagalli, smiling demurely.
"I'm Lux Klein."
Aslan looked at the two juxtaposed pictures, the two lifelike faces, and then understood Lux's intention.
From the beginning, they were ready to let the world know about the existence of another Lux.
"how come……"
At the same time, Durandal, who was very satisfied with Mia's acting skills, was startled by the sudden appearance of the real Lux.
"Why is she in Orb...?"
He always thought that Lux was still on the Eternity, that Lux was still in space, so he was completely unprepared for such a situation.
