"Enough, little girl. There's no need to keep up this boring charade."
Just as everyone around was astonished by the red mysterious machine—
It could actually create three clones indistinguishable from the real thing by both radar and the naked eye.
And all three simultaneously launched attacks at Wang Hu!
Enemies like the Coordinators from the ZAFT Forces naturally wished for Wang Hu to die right then and there.
Comrades like Kira, who were worried about Wang Hu, were sweating bullets with anxiety for him.
From the scene, Wang Hu inside the Nu Gundam, which had been momentarily suppressed by the red mysterious machine, smiled calmly.
He sent a communication from his cockpit to the three machines in front of him.
Others might not know, but how could he not?
The machine before him was clearly the LN-GAT-X207 Nebula Strike Gundam, developed and enhanced by the Library Organization after stealing data from the Blitz Gundam.
Its most notable feature was that it was the only machine mass-produced by the Library Organization, with 12 units in total.
These were simultaneously piloted by the organization's sole non-Imitator, Lily Savary, and her 11 Imitator sisters.
During combat, these 12 units typically deployed together.
They then used the invisibility of the Mirage Colloid to create the illusion of one machine disappearing.
Another machine would appear as if it had teleported or split, then suddenly launch an attack.
It had to be said, this tactic was quite effective. Many who were unaware of the truth would die from this initial surprise attack.
After all, just as you engaged and repelled one Nebula Strike Gundam, one or two more would suddenly attack from behind or the sides.
To be honest, even many elite pilots found it hard to react in time.
It was easy to fall victim to Lily Savary's underhanded tricks without even realizing what happened.
However, once Lily Savary's tricks were exposed, and with proper preparation, she became much easier to deal with.
Plus, there was the Judgment of Thunder.
It was worth noting that in Wang Hu's memory, the strength of these pilots involved in behind-the-scenes conflicts seemed suppressed by some cosmic force.
Despite their fierce performance and exaggerated machine capabilities in these hidden battles,
Would you believe it?
Their highest combat power was actually capped below Yzak's level?
There were even rumors that Yzak could take them out with one shot each, like picking off easy targets!
"Hmph."
Calmly observing the pilots in the three machines, Wang Hu saw that they completely ignored his communication.
This made him raise an eyebrow slightly, ready to teach them a proper lesson.
Before the three enemy machines could land their attacks, the Dragoons controlled via quantum communication swiftly turned their muzzles.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
Beam shots from six U-Type Funnels rained down like a storm. Since Wang Hu's Dragoons were larger in size, their power was naturally greater.
So even though the Library had invested heavily, ensuring each Nebula Strike Gundam was not downgraded but even upgraded with additional configurations,
Under the assault of Wang Hu's Dragoons, the PS Armor of the Nebula Strike Gundams was pierced, and the machines were destroyed.
Without holding back or showing any mercy, the war had reached its final stages.
Thus, Wang Hu's eyes turned completely cold—he was truly prepared to carry out a thorough reckoning against the enemy on the battlefield.
Today, on this battlefield, every single one of them, any unstable factor that might threaten the peace and stability of the East Asian Federation in the future—
They would all die!
"Three mobile suits?"
Seeing the three balls of flame erupt under the assault of Wang Hu's Dragoons, both Kira and Athrun—
Being no fools, they quickly grasped the trick after a moment's thought.
"Multiple units using the Mirage Colloid System to create the illusion of clones!"
With a grave expression, Athrun was both astonished by the tactics of the Nebula Blitz Gundam and surprised that Wang Hu could uncover the truth so quickly.
Watching the three exploding fireballs, Athrun, who was being held back by Kira—
Once again, he secretly regretted acting so hastily against Yzak earlier.
Otherwise, with Yzak and Dearka fighting together now, they could at least help him fend off Kira.
That way, he could free himself to join the earlier Nebula Blitz Gundam in attacking Wang Hu!
But it was too late for regrets now; the unexpected reinforcements were already dead!
"Wait?"
Just as Athrun was about to send a message to recall Heine and Nicol, instructing them to cooperate with Dearka again to hold off Kira—
While he was determined to take down Wang Hu even at the cost of his life—
He noticed that Wang Hu's U-Type Funnels, which had shot down the three Nebula Blitz Gundams, did not return to the Nu Gundam's shoulders for recharging.
Instead, the six Dragoons continued to hover in space, firing Beam attacks at empty voids.
"Could it be?"
Athrun instinctively considered the possibility that there might be more than just three Nebula Blitz Gundams.
It was highly likely their numbers were greater!
"Damn it!"
Realizing the possibility from Wang Hu's actions, Athrun grew even more frustrated at being tied down by Kira.
"Get out of my way, Kira!"
With a loud shout, Athrun accelerated his movements, attempting to end the grueling battle with his good friend Kira as soon as possible.
So he could free his hands and join the assault on Wang Hu before Wang Hu eliminated all the unexpected allies.
However, for Athrun, the situation was undoubtedly deteriorating further.
Initially, Dearka had been discontent because Athrun had disabled their friend Yzak.
So, whether it was Athrun and Kira fighting each other or the Nebula Blitz Gundam attacking Wang Hu's Nu Gundam—
He had adopted a hands-off attitude, merely pulling Yzak to the side and remaining inactive.
But just as Athrun could be persuaded by Kira, Dearka could be persuaded by his friend Yzak—or they could persuade each other.
Unable to resist Yzak's unwavering determination to devote himself entirely to the cause of PLANT—
Dearka finally moved into action while Wang Hu was pursuing the remaining Nebula Blitz Gundams.
"Stop nagging, Yzak, I get it, I get it."
Extremely irritated, the dark-skinned Dearka, urged relentlessly by his friend, finally raised his gun and charged toward Wang Hu.
"Go, Dearka, take down Wang Hu."
Unaware that this would be their final stand, Yzak cheered loudly from behind.
"Another one coming?"
Utilizing the U-Type Funnel combined with his exceptional Newtype spatial sense ability, Wang Hu had already eliminated five Nebula Blitz Gundams before Dearka charged forward.
Seeing that courageous and memorable Dearka foolishly seeking death when Wang Hu hadn't even gone after him, Wang Hu gladly turned around to offer him a one-way ticket.
With a flick of the control stick, he evaded Dearka's carefully aimed beam attack. Pressing the acceleration pedal, the Nu Gundam closed in on Dearka with its extraordinary speed.
"I knew it, I knew it." Dearka had mentally prepared for life or death before coming, staring at the Nu Gundam now right before him. He frantically pulled the trigger, but his attacks were as futile as his fate - altered and nearing its end.
Drawing his beam saber, Wang Hu expressionlessly executed several zigzag maneuvers while watching Dearka's desperate struggle. The Nu Gundam's beam saber ultimately pierced through the opponent's cockpit.
Releasing the saber, Wang Hu considered it a farewell gift, allowing both the beam saber and Dearka's Upgraded Qilin to be consumed by flames. Without looking back at the explosion, the Nu Gundam departed without a trace of smoke.
"Dearka?" The cheering shouts caught in Yzak's throat. He never imagined witnessing his friend Dearka die before his eyes. Seeing Dearka's Qilin explode after Wang Hu clearly stabbed the cockpit, even though Yzak didn't want to believe it, Dearka was truly beyond saving.
"Did I cause his death?" Often people don't consider consequences before acting. Only when facing unbearable consequences do they feel regret - but what use is regret now?
"Dearka, I'm sorry!" Tears filled Yzak's eyes in the cockpit of his limbless Upgraded Qilin. He stared blankly as the Nu Gundam flew before him again. Even seeing the dark gun barrel aimed at his cockpit and the Nu Gundam's cold eyes through the electronic optical feed, Yzak remained unmoved, consumed only by deep remorse for his friend's death.
"Next, Yzak." Wang Hu pulled the trigger, his cold eyes lingering momentarily on the cockpit of the limbless Upgraded Qilin now pierced by beam fire, before turning to the next battlefield.
During the delay, the remaining Nebula Blitz Gundams seemed to realize they couldn't handle the Nu Gundam alone. The four survivors had moved to where Athrun and Kira were fighting, joining Athrun to gang up on Kira - clearly intending to eliminate Kira first to unleash Athrun, the cosmos-ordained strongest warrior.
"Brother Wang Hu!" Kira's skills were formidable. Even under suppression from Athrun and four Nebula Blitz Gundams, he managed to hold out until Wang Hu dealt with Dearka and Yzak. However, seeing Brother Wang Hu appearing more murderous than ever before...
Kira in the Freedom Gundam seemed somewhat unable to withstand the pressure of this aura.
"Wang Hu!"
Athrun could vividly recall the deaths of Dearka and Yzak. Though he wished to rescue them, his hands were tied at the moment.
Seeing Wang Hu flying over now, it was truly a case of "when foes meet, their eyes blaze with hatred."
Glancing sideways, he noticed the Nebula Blitz Gundam had taken over his primary assault position and was now engaged in close-range dogfighting with Kira.
Without a shred of camaraderie, Athrun abandoned his opponent and turned to charge toward Wang Hu.
"Today, one of us must die."
The loss of comrades, the direness of the situation—all of it made Athrun's eyes burn with fury. Fortunately, he did not yet know his father had died.
Otherwise, the rage in his heart would likely have surged even higher.
"I know."
Wang Hu in the Nu Gundam responded coldly, controlling the U-Type Funnels to face the enemy.
Weapons of the same nature exhibit different performances in different hands.
Under Wang Hu's control, the U-Type Funnels demonstrated an almost phantom-like effect.
If the Nebula Blitz Gundam relied on numbers and tricks to create the illusion of clones for its enemies,
Then Wang Hu depended on speed and skill!
