Chapter 133: Determination

Veda Central.

"Only the last layer remains."

Ribbons operated the system to disable the operating systems of the four Gundams, then asked Kona: "Is it really okay to just do this?"

"It doesn't matter; as long as I have mastered Veda's data, I can rebuild Celestial Being's execution unit at any time." Kona said dismissively. "The key now is to speed up the cracking of Veda's last layer of data."

"Understood." Ribbons nodded and continued cracking.

But in his heart, he felt a trace of mockery toward Kona.

This man's capacity was truly too small; he had even betrayed Wang Liumei due to his own pride, which had led to the organization's intelligence system suffering a heavy blow.

"Very well, keep up the good work; let me enjoy the final moments of the Gundam Meisters."

Kona said, pulling up another screen, intending to see the end of the Gundam Meisters after losing the operating system locked by Veda.

"What is going on?"

But to his surprise, the Gundams on the screen were still fighting continuously.

A moment later, he reacted himself: "Tch, as expected of the forecaster Sumeragi, even the operating system issue was predicted."

"Forget it, let them struggle for a while longer."

Kona closed the screen with little interest and urged Ribbons.

The previous ones were just programs for entertainment in leisure time; temporary failure didn't count for anything. As long as he mastered Veda, he would be equivalent to mastering the world.

At that time, how to play with those rebels would be up to his own will.

On the other side, the space area where Ptolemaios was located.

The GN-X units of the Alliance and AEU were defeated under the fierce fighting of the three Gundams.

Although they successfully repelled the GN-X unit, everyone on Ptolemaios couldn't be happy at all.

Because the three Gundams had their operating systems locked by Veda in the battle just now, briefly falling into silence.

Even though Felt immediately replaced the three Gundams with spare operating systems according to Sumeragi's instructions, the fact that Veda had deprived them of control over the Gundams clearly dealt a huge blow to Tieria, who was an Innovade.

This also led to errors when the Virtue Gundam was changing systems.

Lockon, in order to cover the silent Tieria, was unfortunately injured, his dominant right eye was damaged, and the machine, the Dynames Gundam, was not lightly damaged.

On the other side, inside the secret base where Li Boyong and the others were hiding.

Li Boyong and Setsuna and others were communicating with Ptolemaios, which had just finished the battle.

"How can this be? Lockon is actually injured; I will return to space immediately."

Hearing Sumeragi's report, Setsuna decided decisively.

"Wait." Lasse stopped the impulsive Setsuna. "Without Ptolemaios's assistance, the replacement of the spare system still needs some time; now calm down and listen to Sumeragi's analysis."

"Alright."

After a moment, Setsuna nodded and returned to the screen.

Sumeragi on the other side of the screen breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "The exposure of Ptolemaios's whereabouts now indicates that the possibility of Veda being completely invaded and controlled by others is very high. Honestly, I now very much hope to possess more combat power; after all, the attacks against us will become increasingly fierce in the future."

After a pause, Sumeragi said dejectedly: "It's just that everyone is a bit lost now, wondering what kind of role we are playing in Aeolia Schenberg's plan."

"Are we the evil terrorists who successfully attracted the hatred of the whole world and should be eliminated after facilitating world unification?"

"Or are we truly the execution unit of the Celestial Being organization capable of realizing the great ideal of eradicating war?"

"This..."

Facing the fact that Veda was controlled by others and the current predicament, even someone as honest as Setsuna found it difficult to conclude anything.

After all, looking at the current world situation, it seemed that being eliminated by them was the correct thing.

Wang Liumei, who had just encountered a huge change, inevitably showed a look of despair.

Only Li Boyong was still in that sloppy manner; he teased in a frivolous tone: "It's just that Veda is gone; you guys don't have to be this desperate, right?"

Seeing everyone's surprised gazes attracted, Li Boyong began to pour chicken soup for everyone: "In my opinion, Veda is just an auxiliary tool. The key is whether you have the determination to eradicate war."

"Moreover, don't worry about there being no place for us after world unification."

"Even if a Earth Sphere Federation is truly established, it will only be a government organization dominated by the three major nation groups."

"At that time, whether the new unified government is qualified, and whether it triggers more inappropriate disputes, will still need to be judged by us, Celestial Being, as to whether to carry out armed intervention."

"............"

Everyone looked at Li Boyong, who was spouting nonsense; although they knew he was forcibly boosting morale, they still felt inexplicably infected.

Yes, eradicating war ultimately relies on our own determination.

"Then, do you have any good proposals?"

Sumeragi asked with a smile.

"That requires you to think of a way."

Li Boyong spread his hands, drawing eye-rolls from everyone.

So you were just spouting empty words, and in the end, you have no solution at all.

But Li Boyong immediately added: "However, according to the current situation, the person who controlled Veda clearly intends to directly eliminate the combat power of Ptolemaios and the Gundams and other organizations, so we can only fight with our greatest ability."

"So, the moment of the decisive battle has arrived."

"The enemy can mobilize about dozens of GN Drive-equipped machines provided to the three major nation groups; the three major nation groups should not yet have the ability to mass-produce these machines."

"As long as we can repel these combat forces, the Celestial Being organization will not be destroyed, and Aeolia Schenberg's plan will continue."

"Finding the traitor or something, let's start working on that after that."

"It seems that is indeed the only way."

Sumeragi smiled bitterly; in fact, she understood what Li Boyong said, but it was just difficult to make up her mind.

"Therefore, we will go to space to rendezvous with you as soon as possible; please take care of us then."

After talking nonsense for a long time, Sumeragi finally waited for the words she wanted to hear from Li Boyong.

In the final decisive battle, if there could be one more Gundam's combat power, the chances of winning would be much greater.

"Going to space..."

It's just that Shihe, hearing Li Boyong's words, couldn't help but look at him worriedly. "A-Yong, in the next battle, if we rely on the Flag, I'm afraid it will be too dangerous."

Regarding this problem, Li Boyong had no good solution either.

Originally, he intended to capture at least two Thrones through cooperation with Wang Liumei.

Then, in the final decisive battle, he and Shihe could each pilot a Throne Gundam to support Ptolemaios.

But now, it seems he can only go up piloting a Flag holding a beam weapon?

Thinking of this, Li Boyong infinitely missed the Throne Zwei that he had blown up. ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
