Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 1772: The Sword of Damocles Hanging in the Sky

"what happened?"

The violent shaking of the white wooden horse made Lei Mengmeng look at Lin Youde in confusion and asked.

Lin Youde shook his head and replied with a frown.

"I'm not sure, but it should be caused by something falling from the universe."

Lin Youde's words made Little Tifa nod and respond on the spot: "Yeah, I felt it too."

Carlod noticed that Hathaway looked a little strange and was puzzled.

"What's wrong? Did you think of something?"

Hasawi nodded with a unhappy look on his face: "I guess so. I hope it's not what I think. Otherwise, it would be too much."

Under everyone's curious gaze, Hathaway turned and ran towards the bridge.

Lin Youde and others were curious and followed.

Lin Youde didn't care that his son pretended to be a riddle teller and didn't speak human language.

Anyway, his current body is useless, and there is no body to use. Even if his son speaks human language and stops being a riddle man, he can't do anything.

So Lin Youde walked over slowly, with the mood of watching a show.

On the way, Lin Youde also met Roland, Diana and Ji Ai'er who also ran to the bridge to inquire about the situation.

After everyone gathered on the bridge, Alpha, who was on duty, explained before Hasavi could ask.

"We just detected a massive object entering from outside the atmosphere and falling towards the Hell Gate."

"According to calculations, the object showed no signs of deceleration as it descended, and crashed directly into the ground at Hell's Gate."

"The shaking of the ship was caused by the shock of the falling object."

Hearing this, everyone's faces tensed.

"What? Breaking through the atmosphere without slowing down and crashing directly into the ground? Isn't that a sure death?"

Carlod exclaimed immediately.

"There's no one inside that thing."

Little Tifa suddenly shook her head and gave a hint.

Lei Mengmeng was puzzled: "There is no one, what is that? What kind of thing can directly penetrate the atmosphere from outer space?"

Lin Youde seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Roland, Dianna, and Angela, who followed behind and also had a bad look on their faces.

"It's a weapon, right? And...it's a high-quality weapon."

Lei Mengmeng was shocked: "What? Massive weapons? Dropped from space? Using this thing on a planet? How much damage would it cause? Are the people in your world crazy?"

Faced with Lei Mengmeng's questioning, Diana smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Only Hathaway sighed and said, "It's almost crazy. After the great destruction, many people died due to the drastic changes. Many of those who survived also went crazy."

"Some of those who managed to survive did not think about reviving their home planet, but instead continued to fight for power and profit."

"That's why the universe created the Sword of Damocles, right, Queen of the Moon?"

Under Hathaway's gaze, Diana sighed helplessly.

"I will not defend the stupidity of our ancestors. This is the sin committed by them."

"As the heir of the moon, I can only restrain them as much as possible."

"But just like the assassination I experienced before, the will of the moon people is also divided."

"So, I'm sorry that the Moon Man has used the Sword of Damocles again."

Carlod looked back and forth between Hathaway and Diana for a long time in confusion before looking at little Tifa beside him.

"Tifa-chan, what is the Sword of Damocles?"

Little Tifa explained: "I heard my mother mention it before. It is said that the Sword of Damocles is a special weapon built in the Earth's Guard orbit, which is specially used to launch mass weapons."

"That was created by the Moon People in order to maintain their absolute dominance and superiority over the Earthlings and to block the Earthlings from going to space."

Lei Mengmeng looked at Diana in disbelief: "No, are the people in your world crazy? You actually made this kind of thing for your own people? Do you think this world is not broken enough and want to destroy it faster?"

Alufimi leaned close to Lin Youde's ear and whispered, "The native species told us that this planet is dying. I didn't quite understand it before, but now I think I understand it a little bit."

Lin Youde touched Alufimi's head, glanced at Queen Dianna who was speechless, and comforted Lei Mengmeng.

"Well, now is not the time to dwell on these past events."

"Since such a high-quality weapon has been created, it is already a fact. So what we need to do now is to figure out what happened that would allow the people on the moon to use this weapon again."

"Hathavi, what is the Hell Gate?"

Hathaway explained: "The Hell Gate is a distance north of Tower Town, which is the small town where Miss Yazi and the others fell."

"It was a completely barren Gobi Desert. The land had completely lost all moisture. Although it had not completely turned into a desert, it would not be far from becoming one."

"Because it is too desolate, it has become a lawless place where many mercenaries and bandits often roam and gather."

"I don't know why the Moon People would suddenly launch the Sword of Damocles against a place like that, but it's definitely not a good thing."

Angela, who had been silent before, suddenly walked up to Lin Youde and said, "Could it be targeting your companions?"

Lei Mengmeng looked at Angela's somewhat awkward outfit in surprise, and before she could speak, Lin Youde replied.

"There is such a possibility. Alpha, turn around immediately and head towards the Hell Gate."

Alpha nodded. "Understood. Stop heading to Tower Town and turn to Hell Gate. The route has been adjusted. This ship is heading forward at full speed."

Lei Mengmeng looked at Lin Youde in confusion: "So, what happened after you came here? Should you explain it to me?"

……

Just when Lei Mengmeng wanted to find Lin Youde to explain, the white wooden horse was about to go to the destination, the location of the gate of hell.

At this moment, a huge crater appeared on the ground of Hell Gate.

In the very center of the crater, a nail-like steel pillar stands in the very center of the crater. It is red in color and emits extremely high temperature.

At the edge of the meteorite, a Gundam with its left arm shattered and sparks all over its body was lying on the ground with one hand supporting itself, as if protecting something.

Directly opposite this Gundam, a gray-green machine with two spikes in hand was floating in the air.

An arrogant female voice came out from this machine.

"You're still alive after all this? As expected of a pilot belonging to Londo Bell, you really have some skills."

"But if you choose to fight to the bitter end, then death will be your only outcome."

"Pilot of the Gundam Barbatos, I'm asking you one last time, do you surrender?"

In the wrecked cockpit of the Gundam Barbatos, Mikazuki replied with a look of disdain, blood flowing from his forehead.

"You want me to surrender? You're dreaming!"
