Chapter 833: Chapter 584 Demolition_2 Chapter 833: Chapter 584 Demolition_2 “I… I really thought I was going to die!”
No wonder Mary had that thought. At the moment the earthquake shell exploded, she witnessed the entire process–the massive shockwave that erupted, the brilliance that seemed to engulf her vision in an instant. Her body shook uncontrollably as if it had been placed inside some machine. If Duanmu Huai hadn't grabbed her, Mary even felt that her body might just disintegrate on the spot, breaking apart like dismantled building blocks.
Of course, it was stimulating… and indeed unforgettable.
“But how do we get back?”
“Hail a taxi, TAXI!”
As Duanmu Huai raised his right hand and stuck out his thumb, the White Goddess also flew in from behind, opened its hatch, and took the four of them back inside.
In this way, the mission to destroy the colony satellite was completely successful. However, when Duanmu Huai and the others returned to the Minerva, Captain Talia's expression wasn't too good.
“What's happened? Is there a problem?”
“No, it's just… forget it, it's good that the colony satellite has been destroyed, but we still haven't figured out who the terrorists are, only that…”
“They were driving PLANT mecha.”
Captain Quaddro spoke up, completing the words that Captain Talia hadn't finished.
“Oh, this is getting interesting.”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately understood why Captain Talia's reaction was so strange. Of course, just because the attackers were driving PLANT mecha didn't mean they were from PLANT. It could be a third party trying to frame PLANT, but regardless, the fact that PLANT mecha had appeared on the battlefield and were operated by terrorists was indisputable, and obviously, if not handled properly, it could lead to major problems.
Now Duanmu Huai finally understood why Captain Talia had said that it was good the colony satellite was destroyed–after all, no matter what the other party planned to do, their plot to smear PLANT would clearly not succeed now that the satellite was destroyed.
After all, if the colony satellite had been blasted into pieces, there was a chance it could fall to Earth, but now, under the effects of Duanmu Huai's earthquake shell, the entire colony satellite had been completely disintegrated, which meant that no matter what plans the other side had, it was no longer feasible.
Of course, this was of no concern to Duanmu Huai. Being an onlooker to the drama, whatever was happening within PLANT was something Duanmu Huai didn't want to get involved in or care about. They could do whatever they liked.
Furthermore, Talia told Duanmu Huai that Minerva had to return to Earth again to negotiate on behalf of PLANT with Oub, hoping to form an alliance with Oub against the New Earth Federation. After all, the New Earth Federation's power had grown significantly after uniting several Earth forces from the Multiverse, and they were now annexing other forces, so the PLANT chairman hoped to ally with Oub.
Of course, for Duanmu Huai, those who claimed to be neutral were best ignored–the likes of Oub were opportunists, siding with whoever was stronger. Even if they agreed to ally with PLANT, they might just stab PLANT in the back when the chance arose. Allying with such a worthless country–well, Duanmu Huai thought a single shot could solve a thousand problems more effectively.
After all, from the Tribunal's perspective, anyone not siding with the Tribunal was a potential heretic that should be eliminated early on.
But well… since this matter was unrelated to the Tribunal, Duanmu Huai didn't care or bother about it.
Subsequently, Minerva once again set course toward Oub, and Duanmu Huai and the others continued to slack off in the cabin. Ann got along well with Amari from the Demon Sect, probably because they were both magicians; hence, Ann often discussed with Amari, who at first truly had a learning attitude but was quickly overwhelmed by Ann's contractual way of thinking.
Now, the two of them basically spent their idle time together studying various magic spells, with others often joining them to watch and be entertained.
After all, magic was truly a rare thing for the people of this universe.
As for Duanmu Huai…
“Boom!”
Along with the sound of an explosion, the mecha in front of Duanmu Huai completely collapsed, and he took off his helmet and stepped out of the training room. Following that, another girl also emerged from a door next to him, bowing to Duanmu Huai.
“Thank you very much for your guidance.”
“Hmm, you're welcome.”
Looking at Xiaoyuan Jiezi in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded. When bored, he sometimes came to the training room to play, as the chance to enjoy a mecha VR game for free was rare. Of course, Duanmu Huai's combat strength was top-notch; even in simulated training, there were few who could beat him.
At first, everyone was a bit scared of him, but after playing games together, many pilots would seek Duanmu Huai's advice.
Xiaoyuan Jiezi was one of them.
However…
Looking at the girl with a somber expression, Duanmu Huai reached out and stroked his chin. He had heard about Xiaoyuan Jiezi from other pilots — according to Shin Asuka and the others, at first, Xiaoyuan Jiezi was transferred to this world with two other companions, but both of them were subsequently killed by a man driving a black mech. This had dealt a significant blow to Jiezi, leaving her perpetually with a look of sorrow.
