Chapter 341: Let’s Call It Silver Wolf Gundam!

After locating VEDA, Takumi vanished from where he stood.

He headed straight for the far side of the moon.

Silently, he appeared there.

At the same time, Takumi figured out the current timeline.

The Gundams had just been developed.

Takumi was just 14 years old, newly chosen as a Gundam pilot.

Takumi silently appeared aboard the Celestial Being mothership.

This massive ship, 15 kilometers in diameter, housed six fortress-class solar reactors.

VEDA's mainframe was onboard.

Takumi floated silently above the battleship and activated his authority to infiltrate the entire base.

No one even noticed the intrusion.

Takumi was also extremely interested in the newly constructed Gundams:

Exia, Virtue, Kyrios, Dynames, Seraphim, Nadleeh, and Seravee—

All the angel-themed Gundams and the construction methods of the GN Solar Reactors.

These were exactly the things Takumi wanted.

Though in his eyes, these mechs weren't all that impressive—

They still had potential.

With a bit of modification, he could turn them into star-destroying weapons.

So how could he not want them?

Combining the strengths of all existing tech was Takumi's true goal.

Once inside VEDA, all the Gundam design data was downloaded into Takumi's mind.

VEDA held no secrets before him.

Fujiwara Chika: [He hacked it just like that? No response from their side?]

Bronya: [This is called a dimensionality reduction strike.] [They couldn't respond even if they wanted to.] [They're not even in the same league.]

Herta: [Send me the solar reactor blueprints!]

The world of Gundam 00 was, in the end, just another sci-fi tech world.

Takumi's power was beyond the detection of their technology.

Coming here felt like returning home.

He effortlessly hacked VEDA and silently copied all its data.

The people inside had no clue what was happening.

Takumi: [Talk later. I'm copying the entire battleship.] [Then I'll build a Gundam to play with.] [@Bronya, let's go fight the ELS later!]

Bronya: [I want Dynames Gundam!!]

Seeing Takumi's message, Bronya was excited too.

Sure, go fight the ELS.

That was the plan now.

But first—get Takumi to make her a Gundam.

With that in mind, Takumi got to work.

He copied all data inside VEDA.

Every single Gundam blueprint was transferred.

Once that was done, Takumi stood up.

No need to enter the facility.

He had already taken the most valuable things.

Takumi was just a passerby here.

He would take what he needed and leave.

The ELS should currently be near Jupiter, right?

Thinking that, Takumi vanished again.

He headed toward Jupiter.

A solar reactor exploration ship built 130 years ago was drifting nearby—

And on it were the extraterrestrial metal lifeforms, the ELS.

These liquid metal beings came from another galaxy.

They had left their home planet in search of a new one.

Eventually, they were drawn to Earth by the brainwave emissions of humans.

They sought to forcibly fuse with humans and absorb their thoughts.

Once near Jupiter, Takumi quickly locked onto the ELS.

But he didn't approach immediately.

Instead, he slipped into his imaginary number space.

Bronya and Jibril were still there.

The two of them were idly playing with their terminals.

When Takumi entered, Jibril lit up with anticipation.

"So? So?"

"What's going on out there?"

"When can we go outside?"

Takumi sighed.

"Relax. Soon."

"First, let's build some Gundams."

With that, Takumi got to work.

Using the solar reactors he had acquired and the Gundam data from VEDA—

Combined with knowledge from previous builds—

He began crafting a Gundam by hand.

The materials? The divine bodies from the EXE world.

The power source? Solar reactors.

Weapons? An assortment of high-end systems.

Main cannon: dual star-destroyer cannons.

He also installed the Uranus System—

Deployable when needed.

Speed? Check.

Style? Check.

Firepower? Check.

Defense? Also check.

Takumi built the ultimate Gundam unit.

Staring at the blue-and-white mech before her, Bronya blinked.

"This is a Franken-Gundam?"

She couldn't help but comment.

It resembled Exia, but had Freedom Gundam's wings on its back.

What was this stitched-together monstrosity?

Probably even had more hidden features.

"Not cool enough?"

"The name doesn't matter."

"As long as it looks awesome, that's enough."

Takumi was clearly thrilled.

"What about performance?"

Bronya was curious now.

She hadn't paid attention to the specs before.

"Height: 20 meters. Weight: about 60 tons."

"Equipped with four solar reactors."

"Armaments: particle beam sabers, guns, and cannons."

"Main weapon: dual star-destroyer cannons."

"Also has an infinite firepower mode—activates the Uranus System for unlimited output."

"No shield included."

"Just the chassis materials alone make it untouchable in this world."

"Oh, and it's supported by the Prometheus system."

Takumi gave a simple rundown of the specs.

Hearing all that, Bronya clicked her tongue.

The rest she didn't care about—

But those dual star-destroyer cannons? Was he serious?

Packing every weapon possible onto this thing?

Miniaturized star-destroyer cannons?

Hiss!!

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

This Gundam could probably stomp anything in this world.

"Make one for me too!!"

"I want a different color."

"Silver-white."

"Call it Silver Wolf Gundam!"

Bronya didn't hold back. She made her request immediately.

Silver-white. She'd already named it.

Silver Wolf Gundam.

Hearing that, Takumi made a strange face.

"Alright."

Though speechless, he quickly got to work again.

He built a unit with identical performance—

But with a different appearance.

More feminine.

The silver-white frame looked very sleek.

"What about me?!"

Seeing Bronya get hers, Jibril couldn't sit still.

She wanted one too!
