Chapter 220: Love at the End of the Light
Ade's eyes swept across the beach, and quickly found Ange and Alice, silently picking up Nunnally who had fallen on top of him, and walking towards them. The young girl in his arms had long been exhausted and fell into sleep, the corners of her mouth having a slight smile, seemed to be dreaming of something sweet.
"Not dead, just fatigued into a deep sleep." Alice noticed Ange's worried expression and whispered to her, "Breathing and body temperature are normal, and rapid eye movements indicate that she is dreaming. But here is so cold and windy, I guess I'll catch a cold soon."
Ange froze for a while and suddenly slapped her head, panicked and ran back to Villkiss. A few moments later, she returned with a ball of fabric folded into pieces.
"By the way, Ade, this is what Nunnally prepared in advance and asked me to bring before we left." Ange spoke while shaking the things in her hand, "Let's see, a towel, a set of men's clothing uh, didn't prepare her own clothes, maybe she forgot it?"
Nunnally was not tall, Ade held her with one hand, and with his other hand, pulled the towel from Ange's hand to wrap the girl carefully. He didn't explain much, Ange also didn't ask, but the two understood that the whole process didn't contain any romance.
After doing all this, Ade handed the young girl in his arms to Alice carefully, watched the latter take it consciously, and then patiently instructed, "We don't have much time, we can talk after we get home. I think that 00 Qanta can still move. Alice, you are responsible for taking Nunnally back to the palace. Contact Mineva directly, she knows what to do."
"Huh?" Ange exclaimed out loud, "Ade, how do you know about Mineva?"
"When I was formed, our consciousness was linked together, and I happened to see her memory, so I " Ade looked very complicated, was silent for a moment, and then continued, "There are no more enemies along the way, the first thing you have to do is to send her back safely and soundly. Also pay attention to fly a little steadier, don't wake her up."
Alice knew this was not the time to act coquettishly, so she dutifully hugged Nunnally and turned around to go back to Gundam.
"Ade, you " Ange looked at Alice, who took Nunnally far away and then looked at Ade with a complicated expression on her face, "Well, don't you stay with her for a while longer? At least come back with her. No matter what, she did that for well, she did that for"
"Lacus is more important, she doesn't need me to accompany her." Ade took the clothes from Ange's hand and put them on and walked quickly towards Villkiss, "I don't know how far they've gotten over there, but anyway, we're leaving right away."
"If you insist, fine." Ange gave Nunnally one last deep look back, trotted two steps past Ade, and rolled over to jump into the cockpit, "But I don't know where she is, I just asked Alice and she said Lacus didn't tell her."
"Since she's waiting for me to stop her, it must be somewhere that only she and I know about." Ade followed into the cockpit and skillfully wrapped his arms around Ange's waist from behind, mouthing a coordinate, "Use boson jump to go straight there. I hope it's not too late."
"Hmm." Ange nodded. Villkiss slowly rose into mid-air, and the fuselage glowed faintly blue, "By the way, Ade, have you grown a few centimeters taller? And I always feel that your face is also slightly different from before, seems to have become more handsome? Is it my delusion?"
Because my appearance was modified by her according to her aesthetic standard. Ade replied in his mind. But when it came to his mouth, it became, "It's a delusion."
Before Ange could continue to ask questions, Villkiss disappeared into thin air, and when the MS reappeared, the two were already on a small island in the South Pacific. Due to the time difference, it was dusk here, and the sky was cloudy and dreary.
"Is that Lacus?" Ange caught the blurred pink figure below almost immediately, Villkiss dived sharply towards the ground, while she keenly felt the man's body behind her suddenly become stiff beyond recognition, "What's wrong, Ade? Why aren't you talking?"
When she subconsciously craned her neck, she finally knew why.
As far as the eye can see, a huge human figure standing in the middle of the sea, from the physique, it was a female. The lower half of the giant was submerged in water, the upper half was at least a few hundred meters high, and was still growing larger at a speed that could be distinguished with the naked eye. Four dazzling wings of light stretched out from the giant's ribs, stretching out to the clouds. Looking upwards, the giant's face is actually
"C.C." something burned off in Ade's mind.
If the world is compared to a long scroll, he was like a paper man with a very different style of painting from everyone in the scroll, and was forced to stick to the canvas with solid glue by the person who painted it. The quality of the solid glue was not very good, and not very strong, once the glue dried, he would easily fall off the painting.
Now, he is different, because he has been sewn to the canvas tightly by the silk thread formed by the characters in the painting. And the thread that was first stretched out to him, and the one that was sewn most firmly, is called C.C.
No, no, no, these arguments are too pretentious. Let us use more common and easy-to-understand words C.C. is his first love.
He used to think that he was different from those NTs who are prone to emotional fluctuations, he used to think that he could think calmly no matter what changes happened. But it turns out that being calm enough was just because he didn't care enough. NewType and NewType, people and people, are the same.
There was a memory disconnect, which was the brain taking matters into its own hands and activating its defense mechanisms. By the time Ade regained consciousness, he found himself pressed against Lacus.
Unknowingly, it started raining heavily, Lacus's long wet pink hair was covered in mud, and the cold rain mixed with something else dripped over her pale cheeks and into the ground along the fingers that were sunken into her pale neck.
"You're back, it's great " She smiled softly. Her voice, which was already broken from suffocation, was stirred up by the storm, "It seems I've been busy for nothing"
She lifted her right hand with difficulty, her long fingers stroking the side of his face feebly.
"But you came too late. It can't be stopped already " her vision was blurred by something that might be raindrops, "kill me "
But the expected end didn't come, the touch on her neck suddenly disappeared without a trace, and fresh air rushed fast into her throat. The man crouched on her chest and trembled, a gush of warmth seeping through her skin and fat into her heart.
"I will forgive you, of course."
Her blue-gray eyes stared blankly at the cloudy sky. The bean-sized rain crackled on her face, the hoarse voice came from her chest perfectly coincided with the voice in her memory, but Lacus felt at a loss - things were going beyond her calculations, she was only prepared to be killed if the plan succeeded and to kill herself if it failed. What to do now?
Ade took a deep breath, trying not to move his eyes from the giant of light between the sea and the sky in the distance. The surging and majestic consciousness unfolded with him as the center of the circle, and the faint consciousness echoed with him in the other side.
"Lillith, please, help me."
" What kind of mother would deny her child's request?"
Ade stood up and walked over to the dumbfounded Ange and pinched her cheek, "Get on the plane. We are going to work."
"Huh?" Ange snapped back to her senses, "Ade, what do we do?"
"Do what you do best." Ade led Ange into Villkiss's cockpit and pointed distantly at the giant and said in a deep voice, "See that one? Blast her."
Villkiss carried the two to the giant of light, its small fuselage was simply insignificant compared to the giant.
This is the monster Lacus created, and this is the truth of the Human Instrumentality Project. When the Giant of Light grows into its full size in the future, the anti-AT field that exists only around her will spread across the world, returning all humans to the sea of LCL.
It has been a long time since Adam and Lillith began to fuse, and C.C.'s spirit reached the edge of collapse during the unbearably long torture, and only the belief of bringing Ade back supported her last vestige of sanity. However, Ade's appearance became the last straw that breaks the camel's back - Ade has come back, I can stop trying.
A long, harsh whine resounded through the sky, and the giant of light, which had returned to its instincts, swung its right arm and subconsciously tried to slap the insect in front of it. Just when the huge slap was about to hit Villkiss, the MS suddenly disappeared in place and appeared in a flash a few dozen meters away from where it was located.
Villkiss was neither blue nor gold at the moment, but has surprisingly kept its original appearance - except for the blood-red pattern that had been crawling all over the fuselage, blinding in the gray sky.
"Old Yang, since you shamelessly made such a shameful setting, then you must bless me and your daughter" Ade put his hands over Ange's hands, "Ange, the biggest output!"
"Yes!" Feeling the warmth coming from the back of her hand, Ange's spirit lifted as if she had gained endless strength, "!"
Music blared in the cockpit. Along with the duo's roar, the words "Space-Time Convergence Cannon" flashed on the display directly in front of the cockpit, and seven-colored streams of light converged on the muzzles of Villkiss' guns.
"?! ! !! !"
"-Grab happiness!"
"Burst!"
"LOVELOVE"
"- -!!!!"
The heavy pillar of seven-colored light raged out, breaking through the rain, cutting through the sky, hitting the giant of light's abdomen& and coming out from behind her. The violent energy swept back and forth, and the giant was torn into pieces without resistance.
Suddenly, all the sounds seem to be gone, the rain also stopped unknowingly, leaving only a blanket of white between heaven and earth.
Confused Ange landed Villkiss on the island under Ade's command and watched Ade rolling over and jumping out of the cockpit. Lacus stumbled over to Ange and leaned against Villkiss in silence, lost in thought.
Ade walked all the way to the beach and let the water gradually spread over his ankles. He stood quietly on the shoreline, gazing in the direction of the disappearing giants. A slender white light in the shape of a human was walking slowly towards him in the infinite light.
"Lilith-no," Ade shook his head with a bitter smile, "Mom "
"I'm sorry " the faceless human-shaped light stopped in front of him and reached out a formless hand to stroke his cheek, "I know you may not like this world, but I love them, so I chose you and hope you can love them too."
"I know."
"I learned this from a child named Ikari Yui, and it seems to be working very well now." The human-shaped light didn't have a face, but Ade could hear its gentle laugh, "Thank you for being able to love them, and I love you too."
" I'm sorry."
"There's no need to feel sorry, there's no point in me living. I am incredibly proud of myself for giving birth to such intelligent children, which means that I made the right choice." The glowing human-shaped light gently hugged Ade, "I leave them to you, please be alive with everyone."
"Well, I will."
"I believe in you, what kind of mother doesn't believe in her own child?" The light reluctantly separated from Ade, and her voice became smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible, "This is the last thing I will do for you, come and create a girl of your choice~"
Lilith's consciousness dissipated in the glow, and before Ade had time to feel sad, another fragile and soft soul rose up with it from the depths of the core made of Chulip Crystal. The light on the surface of the hazy human form also faded away, revealing the skin belonging to a human being underneath.
The hair is like this, the eyes are like this, the mouth is like this, the breasts are like this the girl recovered in front of Ade's eyes - that was his first love.
"It's so good to be reborn in this world, it's so good to be born by Lilith, maybe " Ade gave her a peck on the lips, "No maybe, I must have been born to meet you."
The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the young girl opened her eyes tremulously and curiously surveyed the man in front of her, "Who are you? Well who am I again?"
Ade couldn't hold back his excitement any longer and wrapped her in his arms.
"Yah!" C.C. awkwardly swung her arms up and down, and her face was full of panic, "That, we, what is our relationship?"
"Husband and wife." Ade softly said, "You are my wife, and I will smash anyone's dog head if they dare to object!"
