I never had a choice!
Chapter 1336 I never had a choice!
In the silver light cast by the moon, the man, who seldom walked out of bed after his body function deteriorated, suddenly got out of bed, walked barefoot on the cold floor, slowly came to the window, and looked at the sea in the distance, which was covered with a hazy veil of light by the silver moon.
“It’s a nice night view.”
Under the withered long hair are a pair of bright eyes.
It slowly raised its head and looked at the unusually bright but growing spot of light on the lower right side of the moon.
"As expected! The movement at the orbital elevator was just a cover. The real purpose of those people is Junius No. 7."
An unpleasant and hoarse laugh gradually sounded from the man's throat.
"Yes. Yes! Yes!! That's it!! No matter how the humans in this world are saved, there will always be evil spirits who are dissatisfied with everything in front of them and are controlled by the resentment of the past and raise the sword to overthrow the world."
After the last war, the man was imprisoned on a deserted island and could only learn about changes in the outside world through the small TV that broadcast news every day. When he saw the Orb representative Cagalli Yura Asha arrive at the orbital elevator island city, he keenly realized that someone was trying to get his hands on the orbital elevator.
No.
Getting involved in the orbital elevator is just the other party's superficial action.
Whether successful or not, the other party's real purpose will not fail.
Because the opponent's real target is Junius No. 7, who has long become a tombstone and an indelible "bone thorn" in the hearts of PLANT and ZAFT.
look!
The man let out a long sigh.
“It’s such a beautiful sight!”
The man's skinny face revealed a long-lost happy and crazy smile.
"Even with the bright future depicted by the orbital elevator, solar power generation system and the Solar Energy Construction Alliance, the hatred and anger in the hearts of human beings, the inherent inferiority and greed of human beings will always destroy this illusory beauty overnight."
"Humph! Humph, huh ...!!!"
In the night sky, the man's crazy laughter echoed for a long time, but did not attract any attention.
Normally, if a man showed any sign of resistance or something was wrong, a team would appear in the room in a timely manner and ask him in a friendly manner if he needed help.
But now...
The man leaned his hands on the windowsill and lowered his eyes to look at the dark woods below.
Then, the man slowly turned around and looked towards the door.
"Come in! Guests who have come from afar."
As the voice fell, there was a gentle knock on the door.
The man chuckled, walked slowly back to the bed, leaned against the headboard, and looked at the door that was slowly opening.
In the glow of moonlight shining into the room, a tall, handsome young man with golden curly hair walked slowly into the room and saluted the man in an elegant and proper manner.
"Captain L.R. Cruze. Sorry to have kept you waiting! Now, we are here to greet you!"
The man leaning against the head of the bed looked at the handsome young man carefully. Gradually, the ugly and hoarse laughter sounded from his throat again, which was as uncomfortable as the shrill sound of a bellows with a hole in it.
However, the young man did not show any discomfort, but just waited for the man's reply calmly.
Because, before he came to this island, the order given by the World Tree made his face appear completely in front of Lao Lu Cruze.
"Hahahaha! What's your name?"
Man, no, Lao Lu Cruze slowly raised his finger and pointed at the young man and asked.
"Loki, Loki Asgard."
"Loki? Haha. It seems that you were the ones who made all that noise. Right?"
Cruze relaxed his body and smiled.
"Yes. Captain L.R. Cruze will not be able to sink to the depths of this deserted island. It was us who attacked the orbital elevator."
"Really? Then, Junius No. 7 is also your masterpiece?"
Cruze turned his gaze away from the young man's face that looked very much like him, no, very much like the man in his memory who was full of desire and tried to regard him as his heir, and looked out the window.
"We are just giving the poor frustrated people a chance to get revenge!"
"Just?" Cruze sneered twice.
"Deploy a large-scale force to attack the orbital elevator, focus the attention of the Solar Construction Alliance around the orbital elevator, and then take this opportunity to send people to Junius 7 and push Junius to the earth."
Cruze's gaze fell on the face shrouded in moonlight again.
For a moment, Cruze seemed to see his past self in this face.
"Humph! If this can be described as "just", then you are being too arrogant."
"No! Our real goal is not the orbital elevator and Junius 7, but you, Captain L. Lu Cruze."
The young man who called himself Loki Asgard slowly stated their purpose.
Hearing this, a sharp light flashed across Cruze's eyes.
"I?"
Cruze pointed at himself and burst into laughter.
“Hahahahahahaha!! Ridiculous!! Ridiculous!! Extremely ridiculous!!!”
Facing Cruze's wild laughter, Loki Asgard remained unmoved and still stood there calmly.
"You, who possess such great power, launched all this just for the sake of me, an old and useless person who is about to die in pain?"
"Yes! Captain L. Lu. Cruze. The World Tree believes that in the foreseeable future, your talents and insights are indispensable to us World Trees. For this reason, we World Trees are willing to spend any price to help you leave this deserted island and have a new and healthy body."
Loki Asgard's words pierced through Cruze's laughter like thunder, and also made Cruze calm down instantly.
"Help me leave here? Help me get rid of this body? Haha. It sounds like a fairy tale!"
"As long as Lao Lu Cruze agrees, we, the World Tree, will offer you everything you hope for and want, and we will hand over all the resources of the World Tree to you for you to command and use."
Loki Asgard once again gave a heavy condition.
"Haha. That sounds good. But..."
Cruze looked out the window again. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the night sky. The light spot that appeared on one side of the moon was gradually getting smaller.
"I reject!"
"what?"
Loki Asgard was stunned, obviously Cruze's answer was unexpected.
Both he and the World Tree behind him agreed that Cruze would absolutely not be able to resist the temptation of regaining a healthy body.
Before Loki Asgard could make any further move, a sharp roar was heard in the night sky, and several beams of light flashed continuously, instantly destroying several defense points established after the World Tree captured and controlled the island.
Then, a strange and sharp steel body descended here with an extremely hot wind, and Loki Asgard suddenly felt the approach of death.
He quickly retreated several steps, and the moment he retreated outside the door, a sword light sharp enough to split his body suddenly burst out, cutting the floor and the door in half.
The strong wind like a blade tore Loki Asgard's face, and the stinging feeling also made Loki Asgard notice the figure that appeared in front of the bed without warning - a woman holding a long sword and with murderous aura.
"L. R. Cruze?"
The woman turned her head slightly and looked at Cruze who was leaning against the head of the bed.
"Yes."
Cruze looked at Loki Asgard, then looked at the sword-wielding woman who suddenly appeared in the room, and gradually a smile of "as expected" appeared on his face.
"Snapped!"
A small suitcase was thrown by the woman next to Cruze.
"Make your choice! This will determine your fate."
The sword-wielding woman said so.
But Cruze opened the small suitcase without hesitation, took out the tube of medicine inside the box, and laughed.
"No! I never had a choice!!"
