"Barsala, are you here?"

After returning to the near earth, Ancient Times did not stop for a moment, borrowed a VF171 from Mary and rushed from space to the 2nd refuge of the Independent Fleet. He wanted to find someone

"Is there anything wrong with me?"

The 5th floor of the underground, here is the residence assigned to the captain of the former 13th Independent Fleet, Hot Barsala, this man who traveled through the world for unknown reasons, met Beiyu and his party, because he had no place to stay.

Although he had hardly participated in the battle in this world, he became popular as another person - that is, the singer

"I need your help, please and me..."

"Wait, what do you want me to help?"

Basala looked at Gu Jin's faces, but Gu Jin didn't say it clearly

"...We need your singing, Beiyu..."

Ancient story short, briefly describes the reasons for the incident on one side with Barsala. He learned about Barsala's deeds in his previous chat with others. His singing can bring people different powers.

Moreover, he himself experienced it once, although he went to the Macross world as aid, during the First Star Wars, he heard and felt the difference in singing.

Perhaps he had changed since that moment, and the singing might really be one of the solutions to the war; in this case, maybe he could really try to stop the final duel between Beiyu and Zuoda

But before he could invite someone again, Barcelona rushed out more urgently than him

"My love machine! Help me prepare my love machine, I'm going!"

At the same moment

"Captain, the core energy of the enemy's destruction ark is constantly rising. According to this trend, it will reach the critical point and explode after 5 minutes and 30 seconds."

“Can the ray axis track be calculated?”

"Please wait...the final destination, the earth"

"As it turns out, you have to use the maximum killer right away... How is the situation with the X fleet?"

"Have entered the warp state and expected to arrive at the specified coordinates in 2 minutes"

Beiyu stored several repair kits in advance, and at least repaired the broken Asterisk to the point where it could barely operate normally. There is no problem with running the engine at least once.

However, other weapons controls can operate normally, except for several anti-aircraft guns near the bridge, one main gun and one secondary gun and the torpedo launch tube on the left half, only the highest protection exceeding the wave gun, and the protective force field is only 25% of the energy left.

His plan was to let the X fleet where those clones were located attract the attention of the Ark of Destruction in advance, and it would be best if it could be guided to fire the first black hole cannon, at that time-

He can "shot" the winning goal

"Alter, surpassing the wave cannon ready to fire"

“…”

"Alter? Beyond the wave gun ready to fire"

"Beiyu, friend, do you really decide to launch it? If you abandon the Rushi and make it crash directly into the Ark of Destruction, the success rate of cooperation with the X fleet is 60%."

"You should know, right? That's the consequences"

"......Stop the collapse of the ark of destruction before launch, and the black hole formed will eventually erode the entire solar system."

"So I don't want to hit me, not to mention that I am the captain of the Sphere and the commander of the Thirteenth Independent Fleet. At this point... ahem... a deserter..."

Beiyu spits out the blood foam from his mouth, inserts the emergency key, and manually pulls out the launch handle of the Rushi.

"I've resisted it all, Alter, the maximum power of the fluctuating engine is running!"

"……receive"

Seeing that Beiyu had made up his mind, Alter no longer dissuaded him. It has been transformed twice and now has wisdom comparable to humans. In this case, it cannot be expressed, but it just feels that its processing module seems to be slower than usual.

"Is this my sadness too...?"

One minute before the Ark of Destruction fired the black hole cannon, a voice suddenly broke into Beiyu's mind.

"I have said a long time ago that it is useless to do this...you...and humans...have long lost their future."

Zoda's voice echoed intermittently in his mind, without any emotion

"Accept redemption, this is the only redemption that can end this pain, that is death..."

"Can I ask a question before you launch?"

"What……?"

"Have you really thought about this thousand years of despair? I regret the matter of Sabella, but because I love each other, I want to be loved, and because I lose love and cannot be loved, I get angry. But will true love be so small? I always look forward to the other person's response, this is not true love...!"

"Shut up! What do you know again?!"

"I only have a few decades of life, and I may not understand it! But you, Zoda, force others to accept your salvation because of the complexity of human emotions. Is this your "true love"?!"

The communication between consciousness was only a few seconds. During this period, the Ark of Destruction released a large number of Karakum-class warships mixed with Ita drones attacking the Ruler.

"Asking, enemy planes found, there are more than 100 ships, so it is recommended to avoid it immediately."

"The anti-aircraft guns and secondary guns are fully opened, resisting and accumulating power beyond the wave guns, we cannot move the hull significantly..."

Although the external armor of the Rust was repaired, it was relatively fragile before the protective force field was unfolded. After several warships on the front were shot down, the drone that rushed from behind immediately cut into the starboard side of the Rust. The hull shook violently and almost turned to the left.

“Damaged situation?!”

"The starboard side was cut into, and the five units that maintained the shield force field were damaged, and the energy dropped sharply, leaving only 22% of the remaining."

"Send maintenance dolls immediately to repair them!"

"...There is no service doll for this ship to use."

"Tsk... can you only rely on armor to reach the top...?!"

More attacks came from all directions, and the only weapons left seemed so powerless and helpless in the attacks of artillery fire and drones. Another drone rushed from above, directly piercing through the armor of the Rushi, cutting off all the internal energy circuits.

The last defense method, the protective force field, finally came to an end less than half a minute after it was opened, and it dissipated directly in the void

"Is it going to be finished here...!"

Looking at the lightning strike of the Karakum-class battleship, Cannon launched the front of the Rust, Beiyu felt powerless, but he did not release his fingers that were tightly clamping the trigger of the launch handle.

Or, he could not let go, he had imagined this situation, tied his hand to the handle in advance with a strap, even if he died, the impact would lead his body to pull the trigger.

"One more second, another second, and that moment will launch..."

The light became stronger and stronger. Just when the distance from the Rust of the Asterisk was less than a few hundred meters, a black Andromeda-class warship suddenly flew over and blocked the front horizontally, taking a fatal blow to the Rust of the Asterisk

“…It’s too slow…I!”

"Sorry, I, the time is a few seconds later than the scheduled one. The task has been completed. Goodbye."

Watching the black Andromeda-class warship disappear into the violent explosion with its clone, Beiyu suddenly felt relieved, as if the dead man was himself.

"We form an assault formation. Please, block Zoda's attack for me! Just hold on until the moment you exceed the wave cannon will be fired!"

"knew"

Since it was cloned from Beiyu's gene, it not only has exactly the same appearance, but also has completely the same thinking and personality. The only difference is that it limits the emotions of these clones during the creation, prevents excessive overflow, and only obeys one's orders

Black Andromeda-class warships jumped over, and they surrounded the hull of the Asteris, wrapped like a cylinder. Even without using any weapons, they continued to resist the attack of the Catlantis warship and kept approaching the body of the Ark of Destruction.

The warships closest to the Ruler use anchors to hook the Ruler's hull to drive it and pull it forward.

The closer the distance is, the better. The two energies will offset and annihilate when they come into contact with each other. The impact range of the impact force Alter has been calculated. The launch is the best position when it is 100,000 kilometers away from the Ark of Destruction.

Wave after wave, time flowed by minute by minute, and there were only less than 50 seconds left before the time of the black hole cannon was calculated.

"X Fleet loss rate, 60%, 1300 kilometers away from the best shooting point"

"Can the speed be increased faster?"

"It's already the limit, and a large amount of energy is transferred to the fluctuating engine. The ship is moving at a slower speed than these towers."

Knowing that Beiyu is determined to fight the Ark of Destruction. At this time, Zuoda, who is integrated with it, passed the spiritual link, and the voice came into Beiyu's mind again.

"Why do you continue even though you know you will die? Human beings will not change their destiny because of your actions."

"Who knows? There are many forms of love. Isn't it a kind of love to protect the earth and protect the future?"

"Stunless"

The distance of 1,300 kilometers is not far. The Ark of Destruction took the lead in firing the gun, absorbing the energy of Comet City, most warships and even the captured planets, and injecting them into this gun. The energy of astronomical numbers that cannot be calculated by computers is attacking the Ruler.

"No, it makes sense! At least I have protected my love! I am also a warrior of love!"

The body leaned back, and the finger tied to the launch handle gently pressed back, gathering all the energy now, and even overloaded the heart of the fluctuating engine. The strongest weapon of the Ruler surpassed the fluctuating cannon, and the remaining black Andromeda class immediately fixed the gravity anchor and stabilized the ship's body.

In just a few seconds, the two energy strands touched each other. As Alter calculated, they first canceled some of the energy and then began to annihilate. The impact force generated immediately shattered a large number of warships, and even this space began to twist.

"Alter, no spare energy, maximum power ahhhhhhh!"

"The fluctuation engine, with 500% internal pressure, is about to reach the critical point of collapse...!"
