Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

CE.April 11, 72.

Tianzhi Yuzhu Gene Research Laboratory——

Didi——

歘——

The white door opened from the left, and Mina Sahak, wearing long black clothes, walked in slowly under the protection of two Sosis.

"Lord Mina."

The researcher who was sorting out the research report quickly stood up and looked over.

"How's it going?"

Mina Sahak waved her hand to indicate that the other party did not need to be polite.

"very bad."

As he spoke, the researcher handed over the half-completed information and said, "According to the latest test results, Mr. Noel's genetic collapse problem has become irrepressible."

"And the speed of genetic breakdown is at least three times faster than before."

Mina Sahak raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. After flipping through the report in his hand, he asked, "How long can he live?"

"I don't know. The best outcome is two years, and the worst outcome may be the next second."

The researcher took the report back and said with a helpless expression: "Although the cancer theory given by ZAFT is somewhat refuted, the data is very standard."

"Is there nothing you can do?" Mina Sahak couldn't help but ask.

There is no doubt this is bad news.

But she couldn't help but want to look for other possibilities.

She is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Noel Cassia has directly or indirectly helped Tian Zhizhu many times.

The researcher didn't speak, just shook his head silently.

If they can, they will fight for it even if there is only one chance in ten thousand.

However, genetic mutation and drug resistance made them completely desperate.

If they are given ten or twenty years to conduct genetic comparisons and repair and improve bit by bit based on genetic mutations, there may be a glimmer of hope.

But the problem is that Noel Cassia can't live for such a long time.

There was simply no time.

————

"No, this isn't right, it shouldn't be like this -"

"Damn, why the hell is this?"

"It's obviously working, but why does it still fail?"

"······"

In an experimental base on Earth thousands of miles away.

An old man with white hair was looking at the computer data in front of him and was distracted.

If Noel could be here, he would definitely recognize him—Haka Athos.

Former vice president of PLANT Gene Research Institute and experimental leader of the Adjuster Gene Completion and Repair Project.

"Is this the wrong path? What exactly are evolutionary particles—"

Dr. Haka was confused looking at the data in front of him.

The Adjuster Gene Completion Plan seems simple, but in fact it is derived from the "New Humanity" plan for human evolution.

In other words, the Adjuster Gene Completion Project is just a clinical trial of the New Human Project.

In the same way, Earth United's expanded human and enhanced human trials are also part of the clinical trials of the New Humanity Project.

The research conducted at PLANT made him think that he had grasped the possibility of new human evolution.

After all, after taking the potion, Noel Cassia's body did undergo an 'evolution' reaction.

That is different from the evolutionary reaction of strengthening and expanding people, but a real evolution.

Stronger body, stronger brain, stronger reaction and limb coordination, stronger body self-healing ability, stronger cell activity——

That's a permanent improvement with no side effects.

However, the improved body is not enough to be called a new human being. It can only be regarded as a natural person comparable to ordinary adjusters.

This means that a natural person can become a being similar to an adjuster without genetic adjustment. Although there are still some gaps, this is undoubtedly a great feat in human history.

But that was not the result he hoped for.

The new humans are not so bullying, and adjusters will definitely not be the future of mankind, even if they are natural people who have acquired the physical qualities of adjusters.

Compared to the new humans they envisioned, the Adjusters were too weak.

So they started a new round of research plans to make natural persons comparable to adjusters become natural persons beyond the human definition.

Various structures were proposed and applied, and the adjuster gene completion plan also changed from the initial 1.0 to the later 8.0.

Potion No. 4 has also received various updates.

Noel Cassia's body also became stronger and stronger in their eyes.

However, just when they thought they had found the right path, they collapsed——

There has been an irreversible and uncontrollable spread of malignant mutations in Noel Cassia's genes.

That is the spread of mutations that they are completely unable to prevent and predict.

Under this situation, Noel Cassia can no longer be used as experimental material.

There are too many uncontrollable factors. Even if Noel Cassia really becomes a new human being, it will be a path that cannot be copied.

This is unacceptable to them.

It was at that time that they received an invitation from the United Earth.

Sufficient experimental materials, familiar experimental data, and sufficient authority allowed them to make a decision.

Leave PLANT and come to Earth to conduct a new round of experiments using natural humans.

As for sacrifice, all sacrifices are acceptable for the future of mankind.

So they planned a riot, quietly left PLANT and came to Earth, starting a new round of experiments - the Extended Man Project, which was the second experiment born out of the Enhanced Man.

Use Noel Cassia's genetic map to select the most suitable experimental subject for controlled catalysis.

So far, the expansion person was successfully born.

The success made them ecstatic.

Because this proves that the preliminary experimental data they conducted on Noel Cassia is correct.

Natural people can indeed use potions to evolve life similar to Noel Cassia.

But just when they were happy about this, they discovered a fatal place - the limit.

Just like a genetic lock, there is a limit to how much a person can be strengthened.

At most, it reaches the level of an adjuster. Even if it is forcibly improved using medicine, it cannot go beyond the human level.

In order to break this limit, they conducted a crazy experiment, gene transplantation.

Use the correct genes obtained from Noel Cassia to perform non-destructive transplantation, and use drugs to forcibly reverse and expand human genes.

But the result of this is that the extended human genes also collapse.

"Could it be that the future of mankind is the adjuster..."

Dr. Haka fell into deep confusion.

If the limit of human beings is adjusters, what is the point of their research?

What's the point of all this sacrifice?

Let a natural person become a natural person comparable to an adjuster?

If it were before, he might have been excited and crazy about it.

But after so much effort and so much price, this result is not enough to make up for it.

If the future of mankind is so simple, what's the point of everything you do?

What does Noel Cassia's sacrifice mean?

He could give up his humanity for the sake of experimentation, but that's because he felt he could take humanity to new heights.

But if this height is just like this, then——

"Adjusters are the future of mankind...I absolutely cannot accept this theory!"

A flash of madness flashed in Dr. Haka's eyes.

He could not accept the result that the new humans were adjusters.

Adjusters have limits, but new humans should have no limits!

In other words, even if there is, it is the limit of the new era, not the limit of human beings themselves!

"It's just an adjuster test..."

Suddenly, a crazy idea flashed in Dr. Haka's mind.

There are two paths for the new humanity.

Natural persons and adjusters—

Since natural humans can evolve, does that mean adjusters can also evolve?

Maybe I could experiment a little with the adjusters.

However, as soon as this idea came up, he put it back. Noel Cassia was the strongest natural person.

To talk about this, we have to talk about what is the definition of the strongest natural person.

The definition of the strongest natural person is not the so-called strongest, but because Noel Cassia's genes are more perfect than ordinary people, and his evolutionary upper limit is the highest.

This means that Noel Cassia theoretically has an unlimited future. As long as there is enough time, Noel Cassia will adapt to the environment and evolve on its own.

And this is the true definition of the strongest natural person.

But this is just a theory. Human lifespan is no more than a hundred years at most. This is not enough for human evolution, and even if it does, it will be weak.

And you can't guarantee that his descendants will inherit everything from him. It can be said that the appearance of Noel Cassia was extremely accidental.

That's why they used Noel Cassia to conduct experiments. After all, not everyone is qualified to let them conduct various research.

But now, the genes of the strongest natural man have collapsed, and the collapse is irreparable.

Using adjusters for catalysis might be another way, but they simply couldn't find an adjuster who was genetically comparable to Noel Cassia.

Moreover, the reason why adjusters are called adjusters is because their genes have been adjusted.

If genes that have been adjusted are being adjusted, aren't they still adjusters? What's the point of creating new humans?

We can't let humans make adjustments, and there are many problems with adjusters.

Even now, people cannot 100% guarantee that their newborn will adjust according to their own wishes.

“Is there really no other way—”

Dr. Haka slumped in his seat.

————

Noel didn't know the situation in the outside world.

There is no interest or idea in exploring.

Because East Asia is relatively conservative, it is difficult to sneak in without anyone noticing.

If Noel's identity is exposed, perhaps East Asia will not do anything too outrageous to Noel, but it will definitely disturb his tranquility.

Therefore, in order to minimize the risk of discovery, sending Noel to East Asia requires a certain amount of time to prepare.

Didi——

Just when Noel was distracted looking at the huge planet that was burning in the distance, the door behind him suddenly opened.

Noel withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of the door.

Mina Sahak, wearing long black clothes, walked in with two Sothis and Ras.

"You look like you're in some kind of trouble?"

Seeing Mina Sahak's gloomy expression, Noel couldn't help but become curious.

Considering the current situation of Tianzhizhu, what else could make Mina Sahak show such an expression?

Orb?

No, although Orb is a bit chaotic, the big Orb families are still smart people after all. They know that only by making the cake bigger can they get more benefits.

So Orb is now in a very stable and harmonious time period.

They are all working together to restore Orb to glory.

Although there will be some interests that cause them to diverge, the general goals are the same.

So if it’s not Orb, what else is there?

"It's nothing, just some personal matters."

Mina Sahak looked at Noel sitting on the recliner like a gentleman, took a deep breath, took off his coat and handed it to Sothis, then slowly came to the empty seat opposite Noel and sat down.

Lars also sat down, looking at Noel's eyes flickering.

"You do your best."

Noel was just curious, and since the other party didn't want to say more, he didn't bother to ask.

Besides, asking myself couldn't help me.

But why is Lars’s eyes so scary...

"Frey Alstar will visit the Celestial Pillar later."

Mina Sahak calmed down his emotions and said to Noel.

"Um?"

Noel looked confused and asked in deep thought: "If I remember correctly, Fleur seems to have been giving anti-war speeches recently. How come you have time to come here?"

After experiencing the South American battlefield, Frey Alsta really flew onto the branches and became a phoenix.

That reputation among the people is incredible.

Especially with the help of the Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Federation, it is not an exaggeration to say that Frey Alstar is the number one representative of peace on earth.

Kira's image has also changed from the original traitor of the Earth Alliance to a knight who maintains world peace.

Cleaning up is called thoroughness.

"Her next speaking location will be in East Asia."

Meena Sahak explains.

"So, are you sure she'll give me a ride?"

Noel instantly understood what Mina Sahak meant, but is this really okay?

Fleur, the ambassador of peace on earth, would take such a big risk to help herself?

"Do you know Matthias?"

Mina Sahak thought for a moment and asked.

"Matthias...I know Matisse."

Noel had never heard of Mathias.

But judging from the names, Matthias, Matisse... maybe the two are related in some way.

"Matthias is Matisse's sister and the previous leader of the clan."

Mina Sahak did not hide this confidential information from Noel.

She had actually known for a long time that Mathias was disguised as a man. The specific reason was that Mina Sahak couldn't help but turn her head and look at Lars.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Noel hesitated for a moment and then asked.

He doesn't care about any clan now. His current goal is very clear, to return to East Asia and wait for death.

This is called pattern——

"After Mathias committed suicide, he changed his name to Hicks Satie and became Fleur's strategist."

After Mina Sahak finished speaking, she continued without waiting for Noel's reaction: "At the same time, she will also come with Fleur this time."

"No, what exactly do you mean - do you mean her target is me?"

Noel suddenly reacted.

"Otherwise, there is nothing in Tianzhizhi that is worthy of such a guy coming here in person."

Meena Sahak admires few people.

And Matthias is one of them.

She used her male gender as a bargaining chip to become the leader of the clan, and she was only thirteen years old when she became the leader of the clan.

A thirteen-year-old child disguised herself as a man and became the leader of the clan for ten years, firmly holding the power of the clan in her hands.

Even Mattis could only use his title as head of the Earth Intelligence Department to get some help from the clan.
