A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 825 - 581: Satellite Crash_2

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai glanced at Captain Quaddro.

"You seem to know a lot about it, don’t you? Have you had prior experience with this sort of thing?"

"So, who exactly is it..."

"It’s still too early to talk about that now."

Captain Talia shook her head, yet upon hearing this, Cagalli on the other side couldn’t help but interject.

"If that thing were to fall, would Oub... no, what would happen to Earth?!"

Facing Cagalli’s question, Kamyu, a pilot from the Minerva, responded.

"Aside from the direct impact, the secondary disasters it would bring are also unimaginable. If it falls into the ocean, a massive tsunami beyond imagination would likely occur; if it falls on land..."

At this point, Kamyu also shook his head.

After all, it wasn’t just a small meteorite, but a gigantic artificial satellite.

"How could... if that happened, our world..."

"It’s really annoying."

However, at this moment, Shin Asuka coldly spoke up, interrupting Cagalli.

"Always arguing and shouting, can’t you just keep quiet?"

"Ugh..."

Hearing Shin Asuka’s complaint, Cagalli clenched her teeth.

It was then that Duanmu Huai finally spoke up.

"If you have no ideas, then I do have a suggestion."

"Your Honor, the Judge?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai speak, everyone looked up at him, as they had been aboard Minerva for some time and were quite familiar with him. The lively Ann got along best with everyone, and many had witnessed the magic of Manaria — they were indeed very curious and interested in these visitors from the Tribunal.

"Do you have a way to solve this problem?"

"Yes, this will do."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out and pulled out something the size of a forearm, which looked like a cannon shell, from behind him.

What is that thing? Where did he keep it?

Seeing this, everyone was confused, and some couldn’t help but lean in to look behind Duanmu Huai.

But of course, they saw nothing.

"What is this...?"

"An Earthquake Shell, a special weapon from the Tribunal that can unleash a massive surge of shockwaves in an instant, completely shattering the entire battlefield. Just place this device in the right spot and detonate it, and the whole satellite will immediately turn to dust. How about that? Not a bad idea, right?"

"Does it really have that much power?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, everyone instinctively focused their attention on the smaller-than-usual shell in his hands.

"What? Want to give it a try?"

"If it’s possible..."

"No problem, I’ve prepared plenty."

"..."

Where do you keep them all??

"Let’s get ready, then. First, we’ll carry out a scouting mission on Julius 7, and if there are no issues, we’ll go ahead with the Judge’s plan."

Captain Talia also breathed a sigh of relief; after all, she didn’t really have any good solutions herself, and now hearing Duanmu Huai had one, she... could only believe in it.

Once they had a strategy for the operation, the atmosphere among the crew relaxed somewhat. While Captain Talia went to prepare, others stared at the shell in Duanmu Huai’s hands, discussing among themselves.

"Can it truly completely shatter Julius 7?"

"But, there are many bodies of the deceased aboard..."

"But if it really crashes, Earth would be destroyed, and nothing would be left."

"Eh? So you mean Earth could be destroyed accidentally?"

"Yeah, but it can’t be helped, right? It’s an unavoidable thing... besides, for us at PLANT, it might even be a good thing."

"..."

Hearing their conversation, Cagalli couldn’t help but clench her fists and glare at them.

"How can you say such things! ’It can’t be helped’? ’A good thing’? Do you realize how many people on Earth will die because of this?! Do you really understand?!"

"...I’m sorry..."

With Cagalli’s outcry, the others who were chatting fell silent for a moment.

And Cagalli continued to glare at them.

"So, is that still what you ZAFT people think? After so many wars, I thought you would have changed at least a little...!"

"Stop it, Cagalli!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

A blue-haired man came over then, placing his hand on Cagalli’s shoulder.

However, at that moment, Shin Asuka stepped forward again, staring at Cagalli.

"Yula and the others weren’t really serious; they were just joking. Can’t you even understand that?"

"What did you say?!"

At Shin Asuka’s reply, Cagalli clenched her fists tighter, and Shin Asuka’s companion quickly pulled him back.

"Asuka, watch your words."

"Ah, yes, of course, this person is quite noble, a representative of Oub, a very impressive person, indeed."

But Shin Asuka obviously didn’t intend to stop there; he stared at Cagalli with a mocking look. Seeing this, the blue-haired man protecting Cagalli also stepped forward.

"That’s enough, Shin Asuka. If you continue to speak disrespectfully to Oub’s representative, I cannot just stand by and do nothing. I heard you are originally from Oub too; is there a reason for your behavior? If you are acting out over some trivial reason, I will have to respond accordingly."
