"I will shape the situation you want, I just hope you don't disappoint me - Matisse."
Durandal muttered to himself.
On the screen, the huge beam muzzle protruding from the moon's surface was slowly opening.
Mattis hopes to take control of the remaining forces of the Atlantic Federation and gain strength with the help of the disappeared Genesis Alpha.
Durandal is also happy to see this situation.
He never thought that the destiny plan would be accepted by everyone. For this reason, it was very necessary to completely eliminate all resistance forces.
The remaining power of the lunar base and Lacus Klein are the last forces with resistance.
But compared to Lax Klein and the others, their power is small.
The strength of the Alsace base on the moon should not be underestimated. Most of the existing main forces of the Atlantic Federation and even the Earth Federation are stored there.
So at this moment, the best way is to let one bring them back together and then destroy them together.
Otherwise, terrorists and the like would be a big headache.
After receiving news of military activity in Alsace, the Minerva immediately set off from Daedalus Base and headed for the other side of the moon.
As expected, things will not go so smoothly, this is how Thalia views the actions of the United Remnants.
Alsace and the colonies are only a stone's throw away. If this wave of actions cannot be contained, the world will move towards chaos again.
Nowadays, the power of various countries is out of balance, and there are many people who want to cause chaos.
The Lunar Fleet has moved to meet them.
Thalia was nervous when she suddenly heard Baator exclaim: "There is high energy generated on the back side of the moon!"
"What?"
She was frightened by this sudden report.
Bato stared at the dashboard, as if he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Dadalus Base—this is... a requiem!"
"What did you say!"
Didn't the United's giant beam cannon self-destruct beyond repair?
Why does it start at this time?
"How can it be?"
Arthur turned pale.
Thalia also leaned forward and asked, "Do you know where you are aiming?"
Bato quickly operated the instrument while repeating: "The path after refraction, from the fourth area to the eleventh——"
"--Earth?"
Arthur shouted with a tight throat.
Thalia quickly thought of the target of the beam: "It's Arthas!"
Arthur was even more surprised when he heard her call.
"How could it be? So, is it our army?"
"Do you still have to ask? There are no coalition soldiers in Daedalus!"
ZAFT is currently stationed there, and the beams emitted from that base are of course directed at the enemy.
Thalia knew why Arthur was so alarmed, though.
Requiem, a strategic weapon that once caused huge casualties to the colonies, was specially repaired and reused...
The moon was reflected on the screen.
Alsace is on the other side of the moon. From this direction, you can't see directly. You can only see the smoke rising high.
Thalia gasped.
Just under that plume of smoke, the Alsace base was a scorched earth.
"Miss Masuo!"
When Aslan and Kira ran into the bridge together, Masuo was already pale.
"You are here!"
The scene on the screen took Aslan and others' breath away.
It used to be the Alsace base of the Union Army, but now only large clouds of explosion smoke can be seen.
"Quiet is really repaired...!"
Ma Liu looked at the picture and murmured softly.
When Lux told the news a few days ago, Malu and others still didn't believe it.
But now - they have no choice but to disbelieve.
The world has come to the most unacceptable yet so familiar scene.
Thinking of Speaker Durandal's fair and upright face, Aslan clenched his fists in anger.
Too much force can lead to disputes.
As expected, the Speaker refused to give up such a powerful and destructive weapon, and secretly repaired it, which showed that he no longer wore the mask of a moderate, and even began to use any means to achieve his goals.
"At this moment, the remaining combat power of the alliance is almost gone."
Masuo murmured blankly.
Now, there is one less resistance force that can threaten the destiny plan.
Although the Earth United Army was not completely wiped out by the beam, the army without its commander was nothing more than a remnant of power.
The disappearance of the Earth United Army ignited another sense of crisis for Aslan.
"Its destructive power is comparable to that of Genesis..."
Aslan felt cold all over as he told the truth: "As long as you change the location of the relay station, you can hit any point on the earth you want!"
In this way, the Speaker is equivalent to using the barrel of a gun to force the people living on the earth to obey.
Aslan thought of Cagalli on Earth again.
The next target will be them - Orb!
"Captain, please contact Orb."
Lux urged Masuo with a firm expression: "We are going to rendezvous with the Eternals. Please prepare to take off immediately."
"OK."
Masuo immediately agreed, and the crew hurriedly followed suit, and the communication line with Orb and the Eternal was immediately opened.
The broadcast of Cagalli's speech was also transmitted into the ship.
The bridge suddenly became lively, and Lux was heard to say with a serious look: "Those who go against others will perish - no matter what choice we make, if this continues, the human world will perish, and we have no way to escape."
Countries that refuse will become victims of the beam cannon, but if they surrender and follow the Speaker's plan, they will only avoid immediate death, but they cannot avoid chronic death.
The coalition forces have disappeared, and now the only ones who can resist are my own group.
They have to defend the Earth - defend Orb!
Want to protect, want to survive.
With the basic urge of survival, they took steps.
The light of Requiem silenced the world.
The forces that originally remained neutral and did not make a choice also made their decision at this moment.
"What's next?"
In Genesis α, Preia quietly looked at the lunar base that turned into history.
"wait."
Mattis said without looking back: "After all, there are many people with lofty ideals."
"Oriole?"
Preia instantly guessed what Matisse was thinking.
Requiem was only barely repaired, and maybe another shot would be useless.
But only those who know the inside story know this matter.
"It's easy to kill an oriole. I prefer to be a fisherman."
Mattis said, turned to look at Preia, and said: "Speaking of which, I have a question that I am very curious about. Do you know why I agreed to cooperate with you?"
"Why?"
Preya asked calmly.
Preia also had many doubts about this matter.
Matisse trusts himself very much. It is a kind of trust that I don’t know how to explain.
It's a pity that he never found the answer, and he didn't have much to lose, so he simply let it go.
However, in the following time, he gradually guessed the answer.
"Because you look like one."
Matisse replied with a smile.
Preya raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
"Perhaps there is something wrong with my wording. You and he should not be said to be similar, but to be the same person. Are you right? Preia should call you Cruze?"
Matisse asked with a smile.
"Maybe, but I prefer the name Preia. After all, Cruze has died long ago, and you may have made a mistake, that is, he and I are two completely different people from beginning to end. .”
After a brief moment of surprise, Preia regained her composure.
"You don't seem all that angry and surprised."
Matisse was a little surprised to see Preia calm down so quickly, but he felt relieved after thinking about it.
After all, Cruze is the man who remains fresh in her memory.
That's a charismatic guy.
It was Kruse himself who suggested duplicating memories and adding himself as a genetic expansion provider.
"He is him and I am me."
Preia does not deny that his character and aspects were influenced by Cruze.
But it's just an influence.
Destroying the world was his idea based on his own experiences and his evil to mankind.
Perhaps, Kruse's memory and psychology did have some impact on him.
But it is only an influence, the person who makes the final decision is still himself - Preia Refili!
