Chapter 1397
The hidden true identity?
Chapter 1397 The hidden true identity?
"It sounds like you've seen me?"
He Ming stepped forward and stood next to Salamantini, observing each other carefully.
"Of course. But General He is very busy. He has been working hard for the future of mankind for several years. I am afraid he will not recognize me."
Odin said in a calm voice.
If you ignore the half of his face covered by metal and wires, and the electronic eyes flashing red, he should be a middle-aged man with good manners and speech, appearing gentle and elegant.
"You are the leader of the World Tree, Odin."
He Ming ignored Odin's words of getting closer and directly pointed out the other party's identity.
"Yes. It seems that Frey confessed a lot of things."
Odin admitted it very straightforwardly, and pointed out that the information about He Ming came from Frey who was captured by him.
But in fact, Frey, who was detained in Victoria Airport, did not say any information about the World Tree, and He Ming had no intention of getting any information about the World Tree from him.
Although the machine piloted by Frey was a rare nuclear-powered MS, he was abandoned so casually that he probably wouldn't have much core information.
He Ming did not deny this, but chose to remain silent, making Odin think that he had guessed correctly.
"Please forgive the poor conditions!"
Odin smiled, and then his electronic eye, which was flashing red light, suddenly became brighter.
"But in order to receive such an important guest as General He, I am willing to do my best and answer some questions for General He to the best of my knowledge. I will definitely answer all the questions."
"It seems that you have foreseen the situation before you?"
He Ming looked around. Apart from the detection modules that were still monitoring the interior of the colonial satellite and the surrounding space and providing feedback, there was no other movement in the command hall.
"The World Tree is just your disguise. Who are you?"
He Ming's words made Odin stunned.
Then he burst into laughter.
"Why do you ask, General He? The World Tree is just a World Tree, and it can only be a World Tree. Other than that, it has no other identity."
"Really? But, as the leader of the World Tree, you chose to stay alone and let the others evacuate this colony satellite. This is not what an organization facing the end of its road should do."
"Really? So that's the case. It seems that I was careless. General He, you guessed it right. But unfortunately, I refuse to answer."
"Going back on one's words is not a good character."
Faced with the rejection, He Ming was not angry and his expression remained calm.
Apparently, this was expected.
"Facing the enemy, using any means necessary is the key to victory! And you, General He, you are too confident!"
A scarlet red light suddenly burst out, and the screens in the command hall were all flooded with red interfaces and black fonts that kept popping up.
That was the countdown for the activation of the self-destruct device.
Moreover, the rapidly jumping numbers showed that there were only 60 seconds left before the self-destruction was triggered.
All of this was designed by Odin in order to lure He Ming to the colonial satellite. He used his brain that was integrated with AI to manipulate the command hall and the alarm system of the entire colonial satellite, deliberately creating the illusion of accepting defeat and waiting for the winner to come and reap the spoils.
In this illusion, He Ming came, and he brought with him a female attendant with outstanding appearance.
Odin couldn't help but feel surprised by such a careless behavior, but he had to remain restrained in order to avoid being seen through by He Ming.
When the countdown for the self-destruct device reached the final 60 seconds, he thought victory was assured.
Even though they lost the Destroy Gundam, the Shadow, and even this body, they were able to exchange He Ming, who was so important to the East Asian Republic and the Solar Energy Construction Alliance.
This deal is a huge profit!
"My Lord. Please come closer to me."
Salamantini glanced at the crimson screen and shouted to He Ming.
He Ming nodded and did as he was told.
Odin was a little surprised to see this scene, but after seeing Salamantini put the sword back into the sheath, he said in a cold voice.
"Don't you want to struggle? Maybe we can escape from here in the last few seconds." "Don't bother. We have our own way."
"What can you do? What else can you do?"
Odin was originally afraid that He Ming and Salamantini would destroy his body in anger, but when he saw that He Ming and Salamantini ignored him, he began to sneer.
Suddenly, a sudden strong wind swept through the entire command hall, blowing up all the documents placed on the operating desk, and kept dancing in the command hall, blocking most of Odin's vision.
The wind was so strong that Odin subconsciously bent down and raised his hands to block it in front of him.
"What happened? Was the self-destruction program activated prematurely?"
Odin's electronic eyes flashed, but he found no record of the self-destruct program being detonated prematurely in the system.
Confused, he tried to raise his head and looked ahead, which was obscured by the flying papers.
At the moment when a bright golden light burst out, a huge figure that did not exist in this world suddenly appeared.
Horse head, deer horns, eagle claws, snake body...
According to the legend, a huge creature known as a dragon descended here behind the flying papers, looking down at the figure named Odin, the lord of the gods in Norse mythology.
"This...this is..."
Odin's electronic eyes flashed red light madly, and the AI program integrated into his brain calculated frantically at an unimaginable speed, trying to search for relevant information about the unprecedented figure in front of him, but to no avail.
Just when Odin tried to rely on the colony satellite's network to connect to the database for a large-scale search, he was surprised to find that all communications had lost their wireless connection for unknown reasons and could not provide him with any effective intelligence support.
"Roar!"
That dragon-like figure was exactly the dragon that Salamantini transformed into, and it was also the reason why He Ming dared to take risks.
After Salamantini glanced at the shocked Odin with disdain, he looked up and traces of energy mixed with electric sparks leaped wildly between his dragon's mouth.
Then, at the moment when the shocking dragon roar exploded, a huge beam of light was launched and hit the main screen of the command hall directly.
"boom!!!!"
Blazing heat,
The blasting air,
Odin was forced to break away from the high-speed calculations and stared blankly at the dragon whose breath penetrated the command hall, the cabins behind it, and even the outer wall.
"What kind of monster is this? Does this world really have such a terrifying creature?"
Even though he wears the title of God on his head, he is no different from a mortal when facing creatures beyond imagination.
As the breath gradually died down, a powerful suction force from the endless void quietly arrived, pulling in all the unrestrained objects in the command hall and dragging them into the endless embrace of nothingness.
Under this increasingly strong suction force, the countdown for the colony satellite's self-destruction has reached the final moment.
Salamantini lowered her head, and He Ming climbed onto her head and looked at Odin coldly.
"Your performance doesn't look very exciting. Lord Odin, no, or rather, the former Lord Gilbert Durandal."
"you!"
Odin was suddenly startled and looked in horror at He Ming who was sitting on the dragon's head.
"Are you surprised? It seems that Gilbert Durandal a few years ago did not understand the power represented by my eyes."
The golden light was so bright that it slowly flowed in He Ming's pupils like the Milky Way.
From the moment they met, the other party tore off half of his face, turning himself into a monster no different from the Terminator, making it difficult to recognize.
But He Ming was able to see the truth behind the name Odin from that faint and familiar fluctuation.
Gilbert Durandal.
No, or rather, the Odin in front of him was just a clone of Gilbert Durandal.
But what does this matter?
Now that you know it, then the next step is to go to his house and confront him.
As Salamantini let out a long roar, he swung his dragon tail, slamming the terrified and speechless Odin directly against the steel wall. Then he turned into a gust of wind, riding on the suction vortex created by the vacuum, and rushed out of the colonial satellite.
The violent explosion that Odin had expected swallowed up the entire colony satellite in an instant, but failed to harm He Ming and Salamantini.
