As Nanali expected, the so-called coup was actually a push all the way. Only less than two hours have passed since it was launched, and the entire imperial capital has completely fallen, and only a few Knights of the Round Table who are loyal to the emperor are left with the remaining fighting strength to guard the palace.
Lelouch's Geass is so unreasonably powerful that it makes no sense to give anything to the villain. Except for giving the protagonist a mentally retarded halo, he can't find any way to make the development of the plot twists and turns and thrilling. . And in this world, where Nanali has above-normal intelligence, it's no surprise that things would turn out like this.
As the son of a politician, Shumu Suzaku still has the minimum political literacy, and he understands his mission very well. The so-called emperor and courtier, all he has to do is to take advantage of the coup d'etat to kill all the loyal Charles of the Knights of the Round Table.
"That is, the executioner, the knife in killing with a knife." He clenched the joystick in his hand and laughed to himself, "Death of Hell, this name is too appropriate."
In the plan, Lelouch's ultimate goal is to become emperor. Britannia is still in a wartime state. The role of Suzaku is to reduce the consumption of ordinary soldiers and kill all these Knights of the Round Table as single-handedly as possible.
"At least judging from the propaganda that Nanali made for me, she intends to keep her word." This was his last hope and the biggest motivation for him to work hard. "Then let's get started."
Hell Reaper jumped up and galloped toward the palace under the cover of friendly troops. The anti-beam cloak tightly folded to cover the surface of the body, and stray bullets in the distance could not cause any damage to him. Not long after, the tenth knight guarding this direction and his Percival appeared in Suzaku's field of vision.
"Yo, isn't this the famous ACE goalkeeper Shumu Suzakuqing?" The other party apparently also received the publicity from Nanali, and while posing for a fight, he did not forget to taunt, "Black Death? Laugh at me to death, you I thought I gave myself a nickname—"
The shadows flashed by in the sunlight, and the unfinished second half of the lines were drowned in the loud explosion. Only then did everyone clearly see the bat-like wings spread out on the back of Hell Death, the double-headed scythe in his hands, and the Percival who was divided into two. All the soldiers present, regardless of enemy or foe, felt a cold air rising from behind and straight to their foreheads.
"One." Suzaku's voice sounded on the public frequency, "There are four more."
Even after many failures, he never once questioned his own strength. Is it shameful to lose to the Fallen Angel and TurnX while driving Lancelot? Is it a shame to lose to Kira and Dawn on a production machine? Does this mean that Suzaku is weak? The culprit actually lost a moment, which caused all his records to become very watery.
The defensive line that belonged to the emperor here collapsed quickly and unexpectedly, and Suzaku rushed to the next battlefield without stopping. Halfway through, he was blocked by two female knights of the round table, who attacked him from left and right in a thorny trend.
Hell Reaper charged towards one of the pigs before the two aircraft closed, and the ammunition poured and crackled on the bat wings. Seeing that it was about to collide with the opponent, the bat wing suddenly opened, revealing a bare metal rod below it, rubbing the side of the fuselage into the air.
"The second and—"
Hell Reaper kicked the opponent's MS, and the body just hit the blade of the scythe backwards and was torn apart. At this time, another machine arrived, waving a beam saber to launch a charge, and was slashed under the sickle with a homeopathic blow.
"—The third one." Suzaku just finished his sentence, "There are two left."
As if to save his time, before he took the initiative to attack, 00 Gundam appeared in his field of vision. As soon as it appeared, red light particles began to spew from the shoulders, and the body itself moved at a speed so fast that it could barely be seen.
"It's time to name me and Euphemia." Facing such an amazing speed, Suzaku activated λ-drive without hesitation. At the moment when the system was operating, a trembling wave spread from the depths of his soul. When he came, he suddenly became stunned, "... eh? I'm... "
The blade of 00 Gundam slashed on the invisible barrier, and the violent vibration of the fuselage made Suzaku wake up from the wandering world. He made a mistake, deliberately not dodging or avoiding, leaning on his stance and taking a hard blow, taking advantage of the moment the opponent adjusted his posture, the sickle backhand swiped across the solar furnace on the shoulders of 00 Gundam. Orange liquid sputtered out, and 00 Gundam dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The fourth one." Suzaku took a deep breath to calm his mind, and tore the 00 Gundam into two sections. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the other party's cockpit popping out at the critical moment, but that was not his concern anymore. "And the last one."
The essence of λ-drive is to amplify the inherent weak AT position of human beings. For fighting machines, it can force all long-range machines to forcibly fight with itself. The benefits to MS are not quantifiable. The only flaw is that the consumption of consciousness under Ed's transformation is too great, and Suzaku feels mentally exhausted after only a short time.
Two minutes later, when Charles' last sword and shield, the world-famous first knight, was unexpectedly blocked by the AT stand, and unwillingly split in two by the sickle, Suzaku sat weakly in the driver's seat, tired. It was as if he could fall asleep in the next moment.
"Hello." A cute cartoon girl suddenly appeared on the main display screen, "You have rested for a long time. Is the battle between ACEs over?"
"Huh?" Suzaku, who was still gasping for breath, was stunned, and replied subconsciously, "Uh, it's over."
"Thank you for your cooperation and providing Ed with useful data." The cartoon girl smiled at him, "The concentration of Minovsky particles is lower than the standard value, and the data starts to be uploaded, please be patient."
Immediately afterwards, a progress bar appeared on the screen, and it quickly finished in Suzaku's astonished eyes. Before he could realize what happened, another sixty-second countdown replaced the progress bar.
"Ed said this is the genuine hell death god, the kind that will explode!" The cartoon girl put her hands on her hips and looked very arrogant, "There are still sixty seconds, there is plenty of time, hurry up and run~ Finally, I wish You are in good health, goodbye!"
After speaking, the girl disappeared, leaving only Suzaku with a confused face. He was typing on the keyboard and pressing the button again, but no matter what he was doing, the countdown did not stop, and even the cockpit was locked and refused to eject.
"What's this all about?" Seeing that half of the time had passed, Suzaku shouted on the public channel, "I'm going to blow myself up, don't get close!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about others, he opened the cockpit and jumped out. Thirty seconds later, the promised self-destruction arrived as scheduled, and Suzaku, who was hiding behind the bunker, let out a breath. As for the miscellaneous soldiers who suffered innocent sacrifices due to self-destruction, no one would care.
The guards who lost all the ACEs were defeated like a mountain, and the troops of the coup quickly entered the palace. Suzaku was very clear about his positioning, and changed to a mass-produced machine to continue to help clean up the mess at the periphery.
When he finished suppressing the defeated soldiers and entered the palace, he saw Lelouch laughing at the body of Charles on the throne, and Nanali watched all this indifferently by his side. Schneider and other important officials stood neatly beside him, obviously brainwashed by Lelouch's Geass. VV was tied up and thrown under the stairs in front of the throne, and no one was paying attention to him.
"Nanali, we succeeded." Lu Luxiu turned around and looked at his sister excitedly, his hands trembling a little because of excitement, "I will work hard next, and try to create a world where you can live happily!"
"Brother..." Nanali shook her head sadly, looking up at the sky, "he's here."
The ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently like an earthquake, the fragile ceiling of the palace was easily torn apart by a torrent of particles, and bright sunlight poured in. A Zaku II holding a beam magnon and a small blue mecha less than ten meters away appeared in the torn gap, and stopped firmly on the dusty luxury carpet.
Ed jumped out of Zaku's cockpit and walked quickly to the throne. Angie also turned over from Villkiss, took out the assault rifle and loaded it, and followed behind him step by step.
"You really came." Nanali gave Lelouch a complicated look, "Please give me some time, I can make you believe—"
"When did you become so naive, Nanali?" Ed ignored everyone and walked directly to VV and squatted down, "Give me some time, be quiet for a while. Besides, it's not that you don't have a chance to see the world. Whether the settings match or not."
Nanali closed her mouth decisively, and stopped her brother who was about to say something with a sharp look.
"Lingus, CC's contractor." VV, who couldn't move, probably guessed what was going to happen, "Wouldn't she come in person at this time?"
"She wanted to follow her, but I rejected her. For her, who didn't know many people, it would be cruel to see someone she knew die before her eyes." Ed looked at the throne with contempt. Charles' corpse, "Don't you have anything to say? Don't the villains usually have to introduce their final plans when they die?"
"You don't know anything at all, but I won't tell you." VV looked at him bitterly, "I'm his brother, it's still up to us—"
"Don't tell me if you don't tell me." Ed interrupted him indifferently, "I don't have time to listen to your half-episode scenes without supporting NPCs to clean up, and I have no interest in your family's sadomasochistic love triangle."
"But you can't kill me." VV looked at him without fear, "Didn't she tell you? Code's transfer requires conditions, and your Geass may not have reached that stage yet. Torture me to your heart's content. , all this is useless.”
"It's just a private server made of Lilith's Fruit of Life. I'm proud of you, who said I want Code?" Ed put one hand on VV's forehead, closed his eyes and felt quietly, a burst of energy. The blood-connected resonance throbbed, "It really is here..."
"Wait," VV suddenly felt flustered, "what are you doing?"
"Actually, I don't want to do such a disgusting thing, but since it is an agreement with CC, there is no turning back." Ed closed his eyes and whispered to An Qi, "Friday, do you want to turn around, I I don't want you to see me... like this."
"No." An Qi stared at him stubbornly, "No matter what you become, I will see the end carefully."
"As you like." Ed smiled softly, and opened his eyes with a swipe. At this moment, he could not see any human emotion fluctuations in his eyes. "From now on, I only have the road in front of me, not behind me."
The next strange scene happened, I saw a blood-red bird-like pattern suddenly lit up in Ed's eyes, and VV followed with wide eyes and let out a piercing scream. His head was cut in half by an invisible blade, the smooth cut surfaces of the skull were clearly visible, and the blood and brain fluid spread wantonly on the ground.
Under everyone's terrified eyes, Ed rummaged through VV's severed brain expressionlessly, then stretched out his thumb and forefinger to carefully twist something. It was so small that no one could see what was between his fingers. After hesitating for a long time, he finally put out his tongue and licked his fingers to swallow what he could not see, and wiped his sticky hands off VV's corpse's clothes.
Seeing this, Nanali couldn't take it anymore, she turned her head and retched, and Lelouch covered her mouth and endured the nausea again and again, and finally didn't vomit out on the spot.
"Ed, you're so disgusting!" Even An Qi complained unbearably, and gave him a soft kick like a spoiled child, "No, no, you are not allowed to kiss me within a month!"
"It's what you have to see, and it's totally unreasonable to blame me now." Ed wiped his mouth and stood up, his eyes returning to the human color, "Besides, if you want to, who knows how to use this thing? I know I can eat it, but I can't think of any other way."
"But you don't seem to have changed at all." An Qi looked up and down, "It looks no different from before."
"Actually, the change is quite big, but there are no special effects, so it doesn't look cool." Ed moved his body and looked a little complicated, "I can't go back."
Hearing this, An Qi looked at him silently, showing a somewhat lonely and helpless expression, like a puppy left by its owner. But it was only for a moment, and the firmness in the eyes immediately replaced the weakness, as she had always been.
"Okay, now it's time to decide our fate." Ed clapped his hands to Lelouch, "Can I ask you to perform again? Yes, that's it."
Lelouch, who had watched the horror movie for a long time, woke up in an instant, looked at his sister subconsciously, and Nanali bit her lip and nodded to him.
"... Sure enough." Ed looked at the pattern in Lu Luxiu's eyes, with a look of understanding, "The operator has closed down and the server is still there, so your account can still be logged in, I understand. "
At this point, he has fully understood how Code and Geass work.
The essence of Geass is to emit interpretable special brain quantum waves to others or yourself, so as to achieve various special effects. The underlying realization basis is actually Lilith as a server. Code is Lilith's designated operator and has the right to issue user accounts.
As the only official designated operator of Lilith, CC has a really awkward personality, resulting in too few players. VV should be a genius, such as Aeolia, who used Lilith's own fruit of life to build a private server, so that he can bypass CC and easily give people access to the server.
So even if VV is dead now, as long as Lilith is still there as a server, Geass can continue to operate. And Ed only absorbed Lilith's S2 mechanism, and did not inherit the qualifications of the operator, he was still counted as an ordinary player.
"It's a pity, Nanali, it seems that the setting is not on your side, in that case..." Ed sighed regretfully, "Lelouch, please die."
