Chapter 1643 Visitors from Another World! Landing Operation Begins!
The waves washed away all the debris scattered on the rooftop, greatly reducing the strong stench of blood on the roof.
Looking around, Ryuzaki Kai, with her beautiful blue hair as long as the ocean, looked down sharply at the tireless, fearless monster that was still charging towards them.
(Ryuzaki Umi)
"This place looks a lot like Tokyo! But where did these monsters come from? They've made such a mess of the place, they're everywhere..."
Recalling the devastation she witnessed when she awoke in this city, so similar to their hometown, after being swept away by an unknown storm, Ryuzaki Kai felt a surge of anger.
“The people we’ve rescued these past few days all say this is Tokyo. But after walking around here for the past few days, this place is still somewhat different from the Tokyo we remember.”
With his short, fiery red hair, Hikaru Shido gripped his longsword tightly as he looked at the Assault-class BETAs that were still charging toward them.
"However, regardless of whether this is our familiar hometown of Tokyo, we still cannot turn a blind eye to the calamities suffered by the people here!!"
"Yes! Wind. Get ready! We're preparing to break out."
Ryuzaki Kai nodded, looked around, determined the direction of the breakout, and gave some instructions to his companions.
"No problem. It's just..."
Phoenix Temple Wind's ears twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.
"What's wrong? Wind."
Hikaru Shido and Kai Ryuzaki keenly noticed the changes in their companion.
"Hmm, it seems like something is falling rapidly! Yes, it's from outside the atmosphere."
A hint of surprise flashed in Phoenix Temple's eyes, as if something beyond imagination was falling from space toward the city.
"Outside the atmosphere? A meteor?"
Ryuzaki Kai blinked and looked up at the azure sky.
The next second, she indeed saw hundreds of points of light streaking across the sky and flying towards her.
"What's going on?! Could it be... could it be reinforcements for this city?!"
"Shido Hikaru exclaimed in surprise."
The trio, who arrived in the city due to a storm of unknown origin, searched for several days but found no heavy equipment in the city that could withstand the rampaging assault-class BETAs.
Even when they saw the tanks scattered and destroyed at the street corner, the trio of Hikari and Kaifu began to have a slight doubt about whether human society in this world had collapsed.
If it weren't for the discovery today that Aiba Miyuki, in her Tekkaman form, was covering the family's retreat, perhaps the Hikari and Kaifu trio would have found an opportunity to leave the city and search for other human organizations that hadn't yet survived.
Therefore, given this understanding, how surprised Hikaru Shido and Umi Ryuzaki were when Phoenix Temple Fu said that something was falling from space towards them.
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, a fierce light shone brightly in the city center, instantly blasting away all the meteors that were hurtling towards the city.
Unfortunately, due to the considerable distance, the trio of Guang Haifeng only heard the deafening explosion when they saw the fireball scatter and turn into shimmering clouds.
"Those monsters are intercepting those meteors!"
Hikaru Shido's eyes lit up as he looked at Kai Ryuzaki.
The latter nodded in agreement with Hikaru Shido's decision.
"You go ahead. I'll settle this young lady in and then head over to meet you!"
Phoenix Temple Wind said without hesitation.
Then, she looked up at the shimmering clouds that were constantly bursting forth.
"Guang, Hai, don't get entangled with the other monsters. Find the monsters that are 'meteor' as soon as possible."
"Okay! Feng, we're off!"
Hikaru Shido and Umi Ryuzaki nodded, then turned and jumped off the rooftop. The next second, flames and waves erupted simultaneously, obliterating all the BETAs on the street below the building's ruins. At the same time, two great figures bearing the names of gods descended upon the scene in response to Hikaru Shido and Umi Ryuzaki's call.
(Reias, the god of fire)
(Sea God Ceres)
"Reas/Ceres, so you've come to this world with us after all!"
Having successfully summoned the Vulcan and the Thunder God, Hikaru Shishido and Umi Ryuzaki felt reassured and immediately accelerated their charge towards the lair in the city center.
Meanwhile, along the designated trajectory for the descent operation, drop pods loaded with high concentrations of Minovsky particles and anti-beam devices were being dropped one after another. He Ming also received a report that the first batch of drop pods dropped over the target city had been completely destroyed.
"Those light-level BETAs are still as troublesome as ever."
If it were just He Ming alone, he wouldn't worry about whether the Banshee Gundam would be destroyed by the Beam-class BETA.
However, the comrades currently engaged in the landing operation number as many as a hundred, and the commotion of hundreds of mobile suits carrying out a large-scale landing operation in the airdrop pods is so conspicuous that those ray-class BETAs will inevitably launch a sniping attack immediately. At that time, heavy casualties will be the least of their worries.
"Colonel Ming, the fifth batch of cover airborne pods has been successfully deployed! We can begin landing operations!"
When CIC's voice came through the communication, He Ming immediately issued the order to begin the landing operation.
In the blink of an eye, the drop pods carrying mobile suits detached from the warship and, following the rear of the fifth batch of cover drop pods, descended toward Earth.
Watching the continuous stream of bright fireballs, Rebil, standing on the bridge of the USS Goldland, couldn't help but clench his fists.
"With Colonel Ming here, this operation shouldn't have too many problems."
Although Tianm said this, his eyes were still wandering over the tactical platform, constantly simulating the next strategic arrangements in his mind.
If it weren't for the incompetence of those councilors and generals sitting comfortably in headquarters, they wouldn't have needed to take such a risk today, braving the danger of being sniped by a ray-class BETA to carry out a landing operation.
"Yes. I can sense that something is changing in that city."
Rebil withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Tianm beside him.
These ambiguous words both angered and amused Tianm.
"General Rebil, are you planning to become a priest?"
“A priest? I have no interest in becoming a priest. That’s what my gut feeling tells me.”
Rebil shrugged and said nothing more.
The two generals could only watch silently as the landing force led by He Ming broke through the atmosphere and headed away like a fiery meteor descending on the fallen city.
"Boom!"
The temperature on the exterior of the drop pod continued to rise, and it was enveloped by wisps of flame, becoming a fireball that pierced the sky.
During this time, the warnings never stopped, constantly ringing in He Ming's ears, but they couldn't shake He Ming's nerves in the slightest.
Sitting upright in the driver's seat, He Ming closed his eyes slightly, channeled his mental energy, and used it to sense the changes in the outside world.
Suddenly, the moment the Banshee Gundam's drop pod broke through the atmosphere and passed through the sea of clouds, He Ming sensed two powerful beings.
Moreover, the areas where these two entities are active are precisely at the edge of the BETA's nest.
"Adino!"
At He Ming's command, the intelligent AI cube Adino immediately initiated the airdrop compartment separation procedure.
The moment the fierce wind rushed into the drop pod, He Ming was able to see the entire view of the fallen city below, and even the scene around the nest in the city center.
Flames and waves each occupied one side, constantly destroying the surrounding BTEAs, forcing those ray-class BETAs that posed a great threat to landing operations to either retreat or change targets to engage the enemy.
"Opportunity!! All aircraft, immediately initiate separation procedures!! Landing operation! Begin!"
