Chapter 1887 The Maid's True Intentions!
"A clear mirror and still water..."
He Ming understood what Lian meant, but the machine he was piloting was not the Cheng Ying Rift, nor was it any of the mobile suits from the Fighting G series; it was the Banshee Gundam from the UC universe.
Although the RX-0 trio was dubbed "mystical machines" throughout the series, but...
"Lian, are you sure?"
He Ming had never imagined using the power of clear mirror still water while piloting any of the mobile suits other than Cheng Ying·Lie Kong and the Martial Arts G series.
"Are you confident? Clear Mirror Still Water can indeed amplify the power of a mecha, but its source lies with the pilot. If the pilot cannot master Clear Mirror Still Water, even if the mecha itself has the Clear Mirror Still Water system, it cannot be activated."
As the Venerable Gundam leaped from its horse, it twisted its waist and threw a punch at the mothership-class BETA that seemed to be brewing something, knocking it back nearly a hundred meters. Then, it landed on its horse, crossed its fists, and brought them to its waist, taking a deep breath to gather its strength.
Seeing this, He Ming suddenly felt somewhat constrained.
Keep in mind that her subordinates and Shinji Ikari were watching from behind.
"This is a way to help adults enter the state of perfect tranquility as quickly as possible."
Lian slowly opened her eyes, looked at the mothership-class BETA that was twisting and shaking the surrounding stone walls, trying to destroy the tunnel, and said calmly.
"Alright! Phoenix, C.C., Iristina, Shinji, everyone, watch out for falling rocks!"
Without further hesitation, He Ming piloted Banshee Gundam to the side of Master Gundam. With a deep breath, he made Banshee Gundam perform the exact same action as Master Gundam and then spoke to Shinji Ikari.
"Shinji, watch closely! This is the power that you and Asuka will learn and comprehend!"
Although He Ming hadn't initially included Shinji Ikari on the list of students to learn from Ren, now that things had come to this, He Ming decided to go all in and decisively bring Shinji Ikari into the program.
"Ah! Yes, Colonel."
Shinji Ikari was completely baffled by what was happening, but he could sense that Naga was doing something very impressive.
"Playing tricks..."
CC muttered something to herself, but since her existence was already involved in supernatural matters, she silently scanned the surroundings for any falling rocks to avoid disturbing He Ming.
"The color has changed."
As Alice stared intently at the Banshee Gundam, which was originally covered in black armor, she noticed that the Banshee Gundam suddenly emitted a golden light without having deployed its mental framework.
Moreover, this golden light covered the entire body of the Banshee Gundam at an extremely fast speed.
Then, Banshee Gundam's NTD system automatically activated, quickly completing the armor-bursting deployment.
Amidst the ripples that appeared and disappeared, the Banshee Gao Da strode forward, raising her right hand with her palm facing forward.
Seeing this, Lian smiled gently and then made the same gesture.
In the blink of an eye, Banshee Gundam and Master Gundam moved in sync, like mirror images, raising their hands in the classic starting stance.
"Can you feel it, sir?"
Lian asked.
"Hmm. I have a slight expectation that Asuka and Shinji will be able to master the Mirror of Stillness."
He Ming slightly opened his eyes and spoke slowly to the still writhing mothership-class BETA.
"Then, please demonstrate for Shinji Ikari!"
Shinji! Watch closely!
He Ming nodded, and in that instant, he shouted the name of the ultimate mystery at the same time as Lian.
"Style - Invincible East! Mirror of Still Water!! Earth-Shattering Fist!!!"
"Boom!!!" As He Ming and Lian shouted the name of their respective schools, the writhing mothership-class BETA was suddenly pierced through from the inside by a scorching beam of light, instantly killing it.
The beam that pierced through the mothership-class BETA continued its relentless advance, hurtling straight toward the Banshee Gundam and Master Gundam standing in front of the assault team with unstoppable force.
"careful!"
Murasame instinctively tried to control the psycho-Gundam to rush forward and block it, but was stopped by He Ming with his brain quantum waves.
Because it's not necessary!
Before the beam of light even got close, the Banshee Gundam and Master Gundam had already unleashed their full power, charging forward with an even more terrifying and unstoppable force.
The moment the two sides made contact, the earth shook, the stone walls shattered, and the frenzied energy with nowhere to go kept entangled and colliding. Finally, the beam of light that had killed the mothership-class BETA on the spot could not withstand the earth-shattering punch jointly delivered by He Ming and Lian, and collapsed with a bang.
In an instant, the previously entangled and frenzied energy finally found a way to vent, and was swept back along the path it came from by the earth-shattering fist.
"boom!!!"
The terrifying roar of the explosion accompanied the Banshee Gundam as it deployed its I-field, echoing throughout the underground tunnel and tearing it apart. The rampant energy surged through the earth and reached the heavens, shocking the human coalition forces who were cleaning up the battlefield and gathering the wounded.
"Then, what is that?!"
After sending EVA Unit-02 back to the heavy transport vehicle behind the defense line, Asuka peered out at the beam of light shooting straight into the sky, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Colonel Ming and his men must have reached the depths of this lair. A similar scene occurred during the previous recapture of the Second Tokyo urban cluster. Under the towering pillar of light, it was the moment when Colonel Ming and his Punishment Army recaptured the city."
Sitting next to him, Fuyutsuki Yukizo flipped through the damage report on EVA Unit-02 and casually replied.
"Oh, is it so?"
Upon hearing the words that the battle seemed to be over, Asuka shrank back and silently gestured the answer to the question from before.
Little did they know, that towering pillar of light was precisely related to her, or perhaps to the future Asuka.
"Boom!!!"
The Stone-Shattering Fist was unstoppable and could destroy anything. Before the aftershocks of the roar had even subsided, the mothership-class BETA that had been blocking He Ming and the others had vanished. Even the ferocious beast that had been hiding inside the mothership-class BETA and had unleashed the scorching beam of light at He Ming and the others was reduced to ashes by the Stone-Shattering Fist.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the dark, gaping hole, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Is this Colonel Ming's true power?!"
This question involuntarily popped into the minds of Murasame, CC, Alice, and others.
Regardless of who they were, this was the first time they had ever seen He Ming unleash such terrifying power.
"call···"
As He Ming's breathing gradually calmed down, the golden light on Banshee Gundam suddenly faded, and the psychoframe also shut down, transforming it back into the original golden-horned, black-armored Banshee Gundam.
"This was quite an unexpected experience. Ren, are you telling me that Asuka and Shinji can wield this power?"
"Yes, of course. The relationship between will and mind is close. The EVA piloted by Asuka and Shinji possesses power closely related to the mind. Therefore, your idea can be realized, sir. Even if the EVA does not have the system carried by the Fighting G System."
"So, you specifically had me, as Banshee Gundam, experience what it felt like to unleash a devastating punch with the power of Mirror Stillness?"
He Ming smiled and then said.
"This feels pretty good! Well then, after this battle, I'll leave Asuka and Shinji in your care. Ren!"
"I am deeply grateful for your esteemed recognition, and I will do my utmost!"
