Chapter 1229: Chapter 682: Let the Puppets Pilot the Gundam! (Part 2)

"Since it’s already tainted, let’s just destroy it."

"My planet?"

Those TM people are natives! You’re the outsider, how did it become your planet?

Some not-so-pleasant memories flooded back to Alice.

Her temper flared up instantly.

Alice, using the eye for an eye approach, provided a rather humane destruction to those aristocrats.

Unquestionably, this definitely caused a huge mess in the Empire.

The Intelligence Tower couldn’t completely intercept all the information.

Alice was very sure that the so-called royalist troops from all around were probably already on their way.

The Intelligence Tower received daily messages cursing her as the Empire’s cancer.

Meanwhile, the Third Fleet had already begun attacking Vales Fortress at all costs.

Laughably, these reactions only came after Alice impulsively brought down a few aristocratic families.

Before that, these guys were completely indifferent.

Shen Sui heard Alice’s words, smiled, and said, "This Empire seems to have been built inheriting my will, right?"

"Yeah... so I regretted it right after I did it..."

"If it indeed inherited my will, then this Empire being destroyed three or four hundred times wouldn’t be excessive."

Seriously, don’t I know what kind of person I am in this game?

Do you think Paradox Interactive players are just fooling around?

Shen Sui said, patting Alice on the shoulder, "I support your actions."

"Huh?"

"Haha! Now you have the legitimacy!" Shen Sui joked, "Even the ancestor of this Empire agrees with your antics."

Alice tilted her head, looked at Shen Sui for a long time, suddenly said, "Seems like you haven’t found a partner here."

"???" Shen Sui’s mouth twitched, not knowing how to respond to that.

Fortunately, by then, they had already arrived at the factory where the Celestial Thunder was located.

Probably because the plan had been canceled, there weren’t many workers in the factory.

Only a few members of the secret bureau were guarding this machine.

When Alice entered, they showed curious expressions.

Fortunately, agents of the secret bureau were among the most well-informed group.

Alice simply got in by face recognition.

The Celestial Thunder was much bigger than Shen Sui had imagined.

According to the design, if energy that could drive it was available, its combat state could be further amplified.

This was a powerful machine in the design, strong enough to destroy a star system, hailed as the strongest weapon of humanity.

Indeed, it lived up to its name.

Shen Sui stood in front of it, seemingly insignificant.

He could feel the surging power from this machine.

"It’s actually been built," beside him, the chief of this project looked at the machine with a hint of pride and loss in his eyes, "Once a suitable energy source is found, it can fully fight for the Empire."

"There’s no choice, there’s only one energy source," Shen Sui laughed, "They ultimately chose the Typhon."

"That’s because they trust destruction over protection," the chief said angrily, "The Empire has become what it is today because of this group of parasites!"

Shen Sui could completely feel the other party’s anger from the words.

Destructive power, huh?

Shen Sui murmured silently.

Indeed.

The power of this machine before him was very peaceful.

It was strong.

But it was not entirely born for destruction.

"This is a weapon born to protect humanity," the chief said proudly.

"It’s a pity that humanity doesn’t seem to need its protection," Alice inserted coldly.

The chief’s eyes bore a hint of loss.

"But now it’s needed," Alice said again.

The chief seemed to have thought of something.

However, just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the impatient Alice giving him a dismissal order.

"So, want to go up and try driving it?" Alice smiled at Shen Sui.

Energy sources?

That’s hardly a problem for Shen Sui and Alice.

Divinity, Mo Suo! These are excellent energy sources.

"What the heck! What are you planning to do with me!"

When Alice summoned Mo Suo from the Treasure Card Magic Guidebook, Shen Sui was shocked.

Mo Suo couldn’t accept it at all after hearing Alice’s explanation.

"Why do I have to be an energy source!" It seemed to recall the endless torture it endured at Shen Sui’s hands back then.

Shen Sui looked at Alice taming Mo Suo, speechless, and remarked: "I didn’t know you brought Mo Suo with you."

"Hmph! That’s because I’m powerful!" Mo Suo, hearing Shen Sui’s words, seemed to forget the argument, and surprisingly started feeling proud.

However, Alice’s words mercilessly shattered its pride.

"I merely wanted someone to accompany me in duels when I’m bored."

Alice’s duel sparring tool, Mo Suo, was petrified the moment it heard those words.

"Alright then, let Mo Suo give it a try first," Shen Sui said with a smile.

Divinity would achieve a similar effect.

But Shen Sui collected all the divinity primarily to prevent the Gods from resurrecting with it.

If he used this divinity as an energy source for the Celestial Thunder, it would be contrary to Shen Sui’s original intentions.

And who knows, the corresponding Gods might recover inside the Celestial Thunder, creating some trouble.

Although even if such things really happened, it would be only a minor hassle for Shen Sui.

But Shen Sui didn’t like such unpredictable factors.

Of course, in the face of the temptation of having his Celestial Thunder, these minor hassles could be ignored by Shen Sui.

But since Alice had a better alternative, Shen Sui accepted it without any reason.

Although Mo Suo was weaker than Haral, Haral survived only after Shen Sui chased and split its heart into several pieces, while Mo Suo surrendered to Shen Sui completely.

In comparison, Mo Suo fully showcased its great power as a Divine Beast in the True God Stage.

Shortly after it entered the Celestial Thunder, Shen Sui clearly sensed the activation of the Celestial Thunder.

The powerful force spread the moment the Celestial Thunder awakened, and plunged the mother planet into a three-minute silence.

All electronics and communications failed in that instant.

Blue-purple spectral light rippled across the surface of the machine, proclaiming the official awakening of this powerful machine.

The current Celestial Thunder was controlled by Mo Suo.

However, Mo Suo clearly had no experience in piloting a machine for combat.

It couldn’t even make the Celestial Thunder walk or fly properly.

Which made Alice, watching on the side, quite anxious.

"Let me do it!"

Alice volunteered and opened the control cockpit.

The cockpit of the Celestial Thunder wasn’t big, because most of the space was used for installing all sorts of powerful weapons.

Such a large machine, piloting it was immensely challenging, even for experienced pilots, let alone Alice, who’d never piloted a Gundam; looking at the control panel, they would be dumbfounded.

"Damn it! What is this even?"

Alice casually pressed a few buttons, causing the Celestial Thunder to take quite a fall.

"Ugh! Such a high-tech weapon, yet it doesn’t have basic intelligent control?!"

"I apologize, that’s just how the Empire’s design is," said the chief, who was called back again, "This is a tradition left by the Great Emperor of Sacrificial Demon."

Upon hearing this, Alice glared fiercely at Shen Sui.

Shen Sui awkwardly touched his nose.

The reason it was designed this way was to create more job opportunities, wasn’t it?

Moreover, when the war begins, such a design can also help consume the Empire’s surplus population as much as possible.

And that’s also why the Empire’s starships are known for carrying so many people.

Once the population is consumed adequately, I can proceed to the next step of the plan.

How was I supposed to know this would actually become a reality?

Furthermore, the fact that this tradition of the Empire could last a thousand years is just too outrageous!

"How about letting Mo Suo bring some small animals to operate it?" Shen Sui joked nonchalantly.

Alice pouted and said, "Perhaps I’ll try to create some Puppets to pilot it."
