Chapter 1895 The Strange Movements of the Ghost Face Clan!
"The evil spirit is dead."
"It's good that he's dead, death ends everything!"
In some secluded space, a group of figures wearing various masks gathered together to discuss recent events.
Among them, the news of the death of one of their cadres was the most talked about.
"Solve it all at once? Humph. Aren't you all being far too naive!"
A puppet-like figure stepped out from the crowd, looking at the people around him with a cold smile.
"MR.V, that guy nicknamed 'The Devil' overestimated himself by challenging the maid who was loyal to the witch of the castle. Before he died, he even activated the transfer device to drag that maid into the complex world that the Ghost Faces had spent countless years and resources to gradually form."
"And now, that maid is swaggering around on that floating continent that should have been the place where we, the Ghost Faces, would have stirred up conflict in this composite world, causing it to sink completely into strife, and contributing all our strength to the Ghost Faces' ultimate goal."
The puppet raised its finger and pointed to the few members of the Ghost Face Clan who had just been discussing the death of the evil spirit.
"You, you, and you. Do you think that once the evil spirit dies, everything is over?"
The people whose names were called by the puppet immediately trembled, exchanged glances, and bowed their heads to beg for mercy.
"No, that's not it, Miss J. We didn't mean it that way."
"Yes. That devil has really messed up our plans. We were just discussing how to clean up the mess he left behind."
The group of people took turns explaining that they had no ulterior motives, but were simply worried that the dramatic changes on the floating continent would ultimately lead to the failure of the entire plan.
"Hmph. I doubt you'd have the guts."
MISS.J turned her head and looked at MR.W, who was sitting not far away, silent.
“Mr. W. I’d like to hear your thoughts.”
The man named by MISS.J gave a wry smile and sighed helplessly.
"To be honest, the situation is now somewhat out of our control. The failure of the floating continent is not simply the result of the castle owner's maid, but an inevitable failure."
When Mr. W stood up from his chair, everyone noticed that his right hand was empty.
"Mr. W? Your hand..."
"Mr. W, when will you...?"
Faced with the exclamations of his colleagues, Mr. W calmly spoke.
"This is the result of the injuries I sustained when I personally negotiated with the Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, which were inflicted by the troops sent by the Earth Federation Army."
Mr. W looked around and said in a deep voice.
"Gentlemen. In our initial vision, once this complex world is formed, the various forces within it will be actively or passively dragged into the vortex of conflict, becoming nourishment for the realization of our long-cherished wish."
"But now, things have changed. On that super-Earth, which is several times the size of a normal Earth, a behemoth that is quietly awakening is breaking free from the reins we have placed on this complex world—this behemoth is the Earth Federation."
"Originally, according to the original timeline, this corrupt force would have gradually perished amidst various conflicts simply by exerting influence within it. However, neither I nor the members of the Ghost Face Clan expected that the Earth Federation, which should have been one of the first forces to perish, would exhibit such an unusual behavior."
"Not only did they swiftly defeat their seemingly formidable foe, but they also completed internal integration at an unimaginable speed in the process. Based on my observation, the current Earth Federation is no longer comparable to the corrupt and decadent Earth Federation of the original timeline."
As Mr. W laid out his conclusions, the members of the Ghost Faces group around him immediately erupted in a commotion.
“MR.W. Do you mean that if we want to achieve our ultimate goal, our primary objective is to destroy this Earth Federation?” MISS.J asked.
"That's true. Moreover, this isn't a choice, but the only answer. You see, that castle maid has already completely occupied the floating continent. Once that maid reaches an agreement with the Earth Federation, we'll likely face even greater pressure."
Mr. W paused, his voice tinged with seriousness.
"Although the Tahuanga group has brought their strongest trump card to this world, the Morning Wind Elves and that mysterious fleet that calls itself the Azure Fleet are not easy opponents."
"We need to be prepared that Tahuangga will be unable to provide support to us in the short term."
“This is the right choice. Mr. W. Do you have any good ideas? Once that maid is freed up, not only the floating continent, but even the super-Earth will likely suffer unbearable consequences.”
"We've already set up some pawns to begin their activities. Since that maid is staying on the floating continent, let her stay there peacefully!"
Namikar from the Murasame Research Institute arrived late with the Psycho Gundam Unit 2. When he finally set foot on the floating continent, he hadn't even had a chance to exchange a few words with Murasame before He Ming, under the guise of sending a representative, stuffed him into Emperor Jiang Lihua's team and headed to the capital of the floating continent.
"Feng, what exactly is Colonel Ming thinking?"
Completely baffled by the current situation and lacking any ideas, Namikel eventually asked Feng for advice.
"Yes, the colonel said that we can assist the emperor's actions if necessary. Incidentally, he also wants us to test the performance of the Psycho Gundam Unit 2 on the floating continent. In addition, Colonel Akira hopes that the Murasame Research Institute can cooperate with the Augustus Research Institute to design and produce a standard MS that I can pilot."
Murasame turned her gaze from the window to her mentor, Namikel Cornell, and said.
"Standard MS?"
Namikal was taken aback, but then he understood.
"Does Colonel Ming want you to go to space with him?"
"Yes, that's right. However, the Psycho Gundam is currently too bulky, and the Punishment's spaceship cannot accommodate it. Therefore, Colonel Ming has asked me to stay on the ground for a while to assist the Empress in completing her plan."
After listening to Murasame's explanation, Namikar finally understood.
The Psycho Gundam is not incapable of traveling to space; it's just that, given the current design of Earth Federation Forces' warships, there simply isn't enough space to house the Psycho Gundam in its hangar.
“I understand. It just so happens that Augustus is currently developing a new deformable mobile suit. If I submit an application to the director, I should be able to get a reply tomorrow.”
After a pause, Namikar smiled and patted Murasame on the shoulder.
"Feng, don't worry. You can keep up with Colonel Ming. I guarantee it."
"I believe in you, mentor."
As the two were talking, a commotion arose outside, prompting Namikar to open the door and ask the soldiers outside.
"what happened?"
"Yes, Instructor Namikar. War has broken out!"
The soldier's words startled Namikar, and she quickly pressed for an answer.
"War? Whose war is it?"
"It's the floating continent—no, it should be said that the country on that floating continent suspended above the Americas—launched a war without warning half an hour ago, sending numerous troops across the Bering Strait and heading straight for the northern defense line at high speed!!"
