It was not until a moment later that all the Earth forces successfully returned to the fleet and retreated with the fleet, that everyone who had completed the intervention mission drove their respective Gundams back to the Archangel and Eternity for supplies.

At the same time, the leaders of the three ships that flew back into the nearby rubble and were hidden in the debris field also came to the bridge of the Eternal one after another to discuss matters about Genesis. As for Ito Cheng, who returned to the Archangel, he came to the Gnaku again after a short rest, flew in front of the Heretic Gundam, pressed one hand on the surface of the Heretic Gundam, and released his essence. Divine power, like a scanner, checks the body condition of the Heretic Gundam layer by layer.

After all, since the battle, the Heretic Gundam has not been inspected and repaired by Archangel's maintenance team. Although he is confident that there should be no problem with the Heretic Gundam, Ito cannot stand the fierce decisive battle that will follow. Ito does not want to lose his life because of some details. To be successful, one must ensure the absolute integrity of the body.

"What are you doing?" Mu, who arrived at Gnaku at some unknown time, asked strangely as he looked at Ito Cheng, whose palms were pressed against the surface of the Astray Gundam's fuselage and floating in the air with his eyes closed.

"Check the body." Ito Cheng said quietly without any change.

"Can this be used to check the body?". Mu turned to look at Cojero Maddock, the squad leader next to him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face. The latter shrugged, saying that he didn't know what Ito Cheng was up to.

"This is my special method." Ito Cheng explained casually.

"Okay, I won't bother you to check the machine body." Mu shrugged indifferently, and floated to the Strike Gundam with Madoc beside him, and began to discuss with Madoc the problems he encountered during the operation. .

"You really don't know if you don't check. There are so many tiny cracks on the outer armor of the Heretic Gundam. If it were to be attacked by the Strike Gundam, it is estimated that at most two hammers could smash the armor." After a moment, Ito Cheng opened his eyes. Eyes sighed in his heart. Then, without any hesitation, he used his mental power to place an alchemy array on the tiny cracks on the Heretic Gundam's armor, and then quietly activated the refinement process to repair the tiny cracks that were almost as big as a hair.

"It's done." After a moment, Ito Cheng exhaled softly and whispered to himself.

"Have you finished the inspection?" Mu asked curiously when he saw Ito Cheng flying down from the Heretic Gundam.

"Well, the inspection has been completed. What about you?" Ito Cheng, who fell to the ground, turned to look at Mu above and asked.

"At the beginning, I still have to be busy." Mu said with a helpless look, shaking his head slightly.

"Then I won't disturb you. I'll go back and rest first." Ito Cheng smiled.

"See you later," Mu said.

"See you later." Ito Cheng nodded in response, then kicked hard with his feet and floated towards the outside of Gnaku. Then, holding on to the orbital ladder in the ship, he returned to his lounge and sat cross-legged to rest.

Although not much mental energy was used during inspection and repair, for the upcoming battle, any improvement in the state is necessary. After all, on the battlefield, which is the cosmic battlefield with the lowest safety factor, Ito Cheng really doesn't have much sense of security. Maybe he will use his spiritual power to save his life.

…

The next day, September 27, CE71, after more than ten hours of rest and preparation, the Earth Army reorganized the remaining troops and headed towards the homeland of Plant without waiting for support from the rear to arrive and the existing forces suffering heavy losses. , preparing to attack again.

"All ships are ready to attack. Repeat, all ships are ready to attack." At the same time, the three ships of the Archangel, Eternity and Kusanagi, which discovered the actions of the Earth Army, sounded notifications at the same time.

"Here we come." Hearing the announcement, Ito Cheng opened his eyes suddenly, stood up from the bed, left the lounge, quickly went to the locker room and changed into protective clothing, then rushed to the Gnaku and faced the driver of the Heretic Gundam. The room floated past.

But not long after Ito Cheng sat down in the cockpit of the Gundam Astray to wait, a prompt message for external communication automatically jumped out of the still gray and black optical screen, and then Malu appeared on the screen in military uniform.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng took off his helmet, opened the cockpit and rushed out quickly.

"I thought I couldn't catch up." Maru looked at Ito Cheng, who was standing in front of him, wearing a driver's protective suit and said with a smile.

"Without your order, how could I have set out." Ito Cheng chuckled. Then Ito Nari saw another necklace flying out from under Malu's loosened collar, together with the crystal pendant necklace he had given, and reached out to hold it.

"He used to be a MA driver?" Ito Cheng asked.

"Yes." Ma Liu turned her head slightly and responded in a low voice.

"Pay attention, I'll do a magic trick for you." Ito Cheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hands to take the necklace and the crystal pendant necklace he gave, held them together in his hands, and said to Maru. Then under the latter's slightly curious eyes, several blue electric lights flashed between his hands. After the electric lights disappeared, he opened his hands and placed a new necklace pendant that combined the styles of two necklace pendants in front of Ma Liu's eyes. .

"This way you won't have to wear two necklaces at the same time in the future." Ito Cheng chuckled as he flicked the necklace pendant that had turned into crystal material with his curled fingers.

"This... this..." Ma Liu looked at the necklace floating around her neck in shock, speechless.

"I'll tell you how I did it after the war is over." Ito Cheng put his arms around Ma Liu's waist and chuckled, then lowered his head and kissed Ma Liu on the lips. The latter naturally closed his eyes and kissed Ito Cheng deeply.

"Don't forget, after the war is over, you have to come with me." Ito Cheng let go of Maru and reached out to caress her cheek.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back." Ma Liu nodded slightly and responded with a gentle look on his face.

"Well, you just wait for the news of victory on the Archangel." Ito Cheng smiled. Then, with a gentle kick, it fell back into the cab and started waiting.

It's just that neither Ito Cheng nor Malu noticed that the second half of their intimate process was watched by Mu who was sitting in the Strike Gundam cab. A sad look flashed across his face. , silent.

…

After a while, the three ships Archangel, Eternity and Kusanagi finally arrived near the battlefield, and then Andy Butterfield's command sounded in the Heretic Gundam's communicator.

"All mobile suits of the army attack."

As Andy Butterfield's order fell, the Assault piloted by Mu, the Storm piloted by Diego, the Heretic piloted by Ito Cheng, the Raid Red piloted by Cagalli, Zi You piloted by Kira, Aslan's Justice and other six Gundams flew out of the Archangel, Kusanagi and Eternal, flying at high speed towards the battlefield where the two parties were fighting not far away.

But before Ito Cheng and others arrived at the battlefield, the huge energy beam that had been seen once before, wrapped in a mesh of electromagnetic radiation with a scarlet energy beam inside, appeared on the battlefield again, crossing the two sides. The place where the army was fighting quickly shot towards the direction of the earth.

More than ten seconds later, everyone knew the target of the beam attack, which was the Tolemei Space Base, the largest and most important military base of the Earth Army on the moon. And not only that, while the beam destroyed the Tolemai base, it also destroyed half of the second support fleet coming to the plant. Obviously, this attack was carefully calculated.

At this time, the Gundam and the Archangel, Eternal, and Kusanagi piloted by Ito Shige and others also arrived at the battlefield and launched an attack on the Earth Army.

Although their six Gundams and three powerful battleships joined them, as the old saying goes, in the face of absolute numbers, a few elites cannot change the outcome of the entire war, so despite their efforts, they were still dragged into In the vast ocean of the People's War, not to mention destroying the Genesis that is changing the mirror, it is not easy to even break through the Yakin-Duwe Fortress.

And just as they were trying to break through the front line and approach Yakin Duwei, the Main Angel, the main force and command ship of the Earth Army, and several warships suddenly turned around and flew towards the mainland of Plant.

Malu and others, who could probably guess the purpose of the Archangel's adjustment of its direction of travel, responded immediately, leaving the Eternal and Kusanagi to continue assisting their own Gundams in combat, while the Oten quickly pursued them. Lord Angel, intercept it.

"It's time." Looking at the Archangel and the Lord Angel gradually confronting each other on the screen, Ito Cheng thought to himself. Then he controlled the Heretic Gundam to quickly destroy an Earth Army MS in front of him, and then rushed towards the Archangel at high speed.

Along the way, all the machines that stood in the way of the Heretic Gundam, whether they were Earth Army MSs, special-type MSs, or plant-based MSs, all became the dead souls of its guns. In this invincible charging state, a moment later, the Heretic Gundam finally arrived near the Archangel and the Archangel when they started fighting.

"Ito Cheng, what are you doing? Get out of there." As soon as the Heretic Gundam appeared near the two ships, Malu's urgent voice came from the communication channel.

"You don't have to worry about me. You can fight how you want. I have my own sense of proportion." Ito Cheng quickly replied on the communication channel, then cut off the communication and flexibly avoided the defense of the Lord Angel's Vulcan cannon and missiles. Shots, as well as stray bullets or attacks from surrounding battleships, continued to move towards the Archangel.

About two minutes later, the Heretic Gundam finally passed through the obstacles and arrived on the outer deck of the Archangel near the boarding port, landing in a very concealed blind spot for attack and exploration. Then Ito Chengcao controlled the Heretic Gundam to forcefully open the boarding port of the Lord Angel, and immediately jumped out of the cockpit of the Heretic Gundam. He waved the Heretic Gundam away, turned back and quickly rushed to the boarding port, and jumped. Got in.

Afterwards, Ito Cheng rushed towards the bridge of the Main Angel without any pause.

At this time, the Main Angel also learned about the invasion, and immediately sent a large number of soldiers to intercept it. However, this kind of mob was simply a gift of food and experience to Ito Cheng, so he broke through the Main Angel with almost no pause. The soldiers in the Angel intercepted and came to the ascending elevator leading to the bridge.

"Fule." Just when Ito Cheng was about to reach out and open the elevator, the elevator door in front of him suddenly opened automatically to both sides. Then Fleur and several soldiers wearing white Earth United military uniforms walked out of the elevator. ran out.

"Captain Ito Cheng!?" Fleur, whose attention was attracted by the shout, immediately saw Ito Cheng standing in front of her, almost instinctively pounced on him, and shouted in surprise. As for the soldiers around her, they had no fighting spirit at all at this time, so they ignored Ito Cheng, who was obviously an enemy, and just stood quietly and looked at the two of them.

"Sergeant Alsta, time is running out." One of the male soldiers reminded him in a nervous voice.

"By the way, Captain Ito, let's leave quickly." With that said, Fleur reached out and grabbed Ito, preparing to ask him to leave with them.

"Since you came out from here, you should be the staff on the bridge. Why don't you see Natal with you?" Ito Cheng asked them.

"Captain Bucky Lulu is stopping Chairman Azrael, so..." Another male officer said softly.

"Yeah?". Ito Cheng frowned, raised his hand and pulled away Fleur's hand that was tightly grasping his arm. He pushed her towards several male officers with his backhand, turned around and entered the ascending elevator, and said to those people, "You go first." , I’m going to save Natal.”

With a "swish~" sound, the elevator door immediately closed again, sending Ito Cheng to the bridge. However, although the elevator door opened, another emergency isolation door was blocked in front of him.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng frowned, turned over his hands, held two gantz pistols in his hands, and attacked the isolation door in front of him.

"Boom, boom, boom~" In an instant, a series of explosions echoed in the small elevator room, and then a large number of depressions instantly appeared from the emergency isolation door. After staying for a few seconds, it suddenly exploded, revealing The situation inside the bridge.

On the bridge of the Lord Angel, Bucky Lulu fell to the ground with a face full of pain and was shot once in the shoulder of his right arm, the waist on the left side, and the bone on the left calf. Next to her, Azrael, the leader of Blue Cosmos, was operating the keyboard quickly while shouting with a crazy look, "Go to hell, Archangel."

As Azrael finished speaking, a scarlet energy beam immediately shot out from the muzzle at the front of the Archangel, shooting towards the injured Archangel opposite it.
