The Light Above Davao!
Chapter 1663 The Light Above Davao!
The central area of the second Davao city cluster.
The Psycho Gundam, in its MA form, roamed the ruined streets, using its chest-mounted triple MEGA particle diffusion cannon to continuously clear out the BETAs crowding the streets and attempting to attack the MS forces led by Amuro Ray, who were gradually closing in on the encirclement.
Seeing the monsters reduced to corpses under the barrage of MEGA particle diffusion cannons, Amuro and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but also became more vigilant.
"Kay! Pay attention to the changes in the surrounding area, be careful of the appearance of those light-level attacks. Hayato, notify the other units to tighten the encirclement! At the same time, also be aware of possible sneak attacks."
"understand!"
At Amuro's command, Kai Siding and Hayato Kobayashi immediately cooperated with his operation.
As GM IIs from other MS squads gradually appeared in the vicinity, a forward line centered on the Psycho Gundam emerged.
Amuro and his MS forces will be the first to deal with any area that the Psycho Gundam cannot reach. They will even be the first to discover and eliminate the Beam-class BETA hiding in the corner towers and attempting to ambush the Psycho Gundam.
The slowly advancing encirclement surprised He Ming, who arrived later.
"As expected of Amuro Ray, he knew how to coordinate even on his first encounter with the Psycho Gundam."
However, recalling the battle that took place in a coastal city in the original timeline, He Ming couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
People who were originally in opposing force fields in the same timeline are now able to join hands to face monsters from another world. This change is truly amazing.
"Feng, how is the situation?"
After instructing Rosamia to conduct reconnaissance of the city center while ensuring her safety, He Ming then inquired with Murasame.
"Yes, Colonel. I have already secured all the BETAs on all streets except the city center. We are now waiting for the encirclement to tighten."
Murasame was already aware of the encirclement set up by Amuro and the others; otherwise, she wouldn't have been wandering around the city center to minimize the number of BETAs.
"Alright! Maintain the current posture and await the general offensive!"
After He Ming instructed Cun Yufeng to continue maintaining this posture, he also sent a message to Amuro.
"I am Colonel Ming of the Punishment Force. Captain Amro Ray of Calaba, please respond."
“I am Captain Amuro Ray. Colonel Ming, please speak!”
Actually, Amuro noticed Heming's arrival when Banshee Gundam appeared behind Psycho Gundam.
While responding to He Ming's call, he also piloted his GM II to the side of the Banshee Gundam.
"GM II? No Gundam piloting?"
He Ming looked at the Jim II that appeared before him with some surprise.
Even though the original timeline has been altered, Amuro Ray, who wasn't actually placed under house arrest, still didn't get to play with a Gundam.
"Captain Amuro, what's the situation? Can the encirclement be secured?"
He Ming put aside the question of why Amuro didn't pilot a Gundam for the time being and focused on the current battle.
"The closure is complete! Thanks to the Psycho Gundam, the first phase of the sweep mission went very smoothly. Next up is the final assault!"
Amro Ray gave a brief report on the current progress of the operation, and then waited for He Ming to continue.
He Ming didn't have any particular thoughts.
According to his understanding, without nests, the number of these BETAs is still limited.
As long as the Psycho Gundam stands in this city, no matter how many BETAs there are, they will all be targets for the Psycho Gundam.
The only thing to watch out for is whether Hauzeon's sudden appearance over the city will trigger some unwanted butterfly effect.
"Report! Traces of light-level BETA have been detected in the city center. Based on observations, the number of light-level BETAs may be between 100 and 200. And..."
"Buzz!"
Several bright laser beams streaked across the night sky, illuminating Gaplan's figure as he made an emergency evasive maneuver, rapidly transforming into MS form and plunging into the city streets.
"so close!"
Rosamia's nerves were still trembling as Gaplan transformed once more, meandering along the streets and returning to the rear of the Psycho Gundam.
"Rosamia, are you hurt?"
He Ming's question followed immediately.
"No! Colonel. I'm alright. Luckily, I noticed the insects' attack in time! Phoenix, be careful. The insects are gathering towards you."
Unlike Murasame, Rosamia's Augusta Research Institute, while also a research institute that studies Newtype abilities, focuses more on physical enhancement.
Thanks to this, Rosamdia was able to safely control Gaplan and avoid the attack despite the extremely high G-forces from the emergency evasion maneuver.
Murasame Research Institute, where Murasame-sensei works, is more inclined towards the use of Newtype abilities and the Psycommu system. Therefore, the Psycho Gundam developed based on these two factors cannot have the same high mobility as Gaplan, and the machine is also much larger.
If those beam-class BETAs seize an opportunity, even with its I-field, the Psycho Gundam would likely suffer damage, or even worse. "Don't worry! Rosamia, you coordinate with Feng for the push. We'll handle the beam-class BETAs."
The intelligence data collected by Rosamia was sufficient to support the upcoming general offensive, so He Ming simply used the defeat of those light-level BETAs as the starting point for the general offensive.
"We're going too, Colonel Ming!"
Seeing the Banshee Gundam accelerating forward, how could Amuro and the others possibly sit still?
"Watch your formation! Don't break formation!"
He Ming gave some instructions but did not interfere with Amuro's command.
"Master, multiple traces of light-level BETA activity have been detected behind the building 60 meters away!"
"it is good!"
He Ming responded, and the instant he closed his eyes and activated his brain quantum waves, the Banshee Gundam's cockpit suddenly changed. As dazzling rays of light swept across the entire 360-degree monitoring screen, the pilot's seat also changed, extending several fixing devices to secure He Ming's hands and head in safe positions. At the same time, a small screen rose from under the pilot's seat and unfolded in front of He Ming.
NT-D system, boot up!
Suddenly, Amuro, who was leading his subordinates to follow, was jolted, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the Banshee Gundam.
"This...this feeling...what exactly is it...?"
At that moment, all the humans with Newtype aptitude on this battlefield turned their gazes toward the direction where the Banshee Gundam was located.
Hathaway, who had been lost in thought in his chair, couldn't help but stand up, walk out of the tent, and turn his gaze toward the center of the Second Davao City.
In the tent next to him, a blonde girl named Kiki Andalusia ran out in a panic, her expression terrified, but her eyes gradually became yearning, even longing.
"This...this...this feeling...no...this...the gods of this world..."
Kiki Andalusia's face changed rapidly, her eyes becoming increasingly complex.
There is longing and yearning, but at a certain moment, fear takes over.
"No!!! No!! No!! No!! That's not right!! No!!"
Her beautiful face became increasingly distorted. She reached out and covered her head, letting out screams that drew the attention of the surrounding Karaba soldiers and also woke Hasavi.
Hasavi frowned, but seeing the gazes of the surrounding Calaba soldiers, he could only step forward and try to comfort Kiki Andalusia.
Unexpectedly, as Hathaway approached, Kiki Andalusia suddenly grabbed his arm.
"You...you...you...can you tell me, do gods really exist in this world?"
"what?!"
Hasavi was startled, a thunderous sound echoing in his mind, and he abruptly looked towards the Second Davor.
"Could it be..."
"Tell me...tell me!! Mafuti, Mafuti, Mafuti Nabiyu Erin. Do gods really exist in this world?"
Hasavi's expression changed drastically, but he quickly calmed down.
He gently removed Kiki Andalusia's hands from his arm and said softly.
"No. There are no gods in this world. You're just tired! Go back and rest!"
No...no...
After being politely rejected by Hathaway, Kiki Andalusia became increasingly disheartened.
"No...no...this world...has...gods..."
The golden V-shaped antenna, the unfolded black armor, and the spiritual skeleton radiating golden light—all these elements combined to create an image that stirred up a storm in Amuro's mind at this moment.
"Gundam...Gundam!!"
"That's... a Gundam!!"
Amuro almost stopped breathing; all he could see before him was the MS bathed in golden light.
How could he not recognize him!
How could he possibly forget this image!
That's a Gundam!
That was the Gundam that fought alongside him on the battlefield during the One Year War!
Under the golden light, the Banshee Gundam, having activated its NT-D system, glanced back at the GM II piloted by Amuro Ray, then leaped out like a divine bird spreading its wings, raising its right armament BS and unleashing a beam of light capable of destroying all enemies onto the beam-class BETAs that were looking up at the Banshee Gundam.
In an instant, beams of light and lasers left their own marks on the sky, each with its own destiny.
As the beam of light fired by Banshee Gundam swept across the Ray-class BETA like a whirlwind, it also raised the VN armor, which had transformed into claws, on its left hand to shield itself, creating waves of light and shadow.
Unfortunately, these ripples did not last long before the beams fired by the armored BS completely wiped out the light-class BETA below, eventually dissipating it into nothingness.
