Aboard the Vesalius
"Captain, detecting an object approaching us at high speed!"
The captain of the Vesalius turned to Creuset with a grave expression as he reported. Upon hearing the report, Creuset quickly formed a hypothesis in his mind.
Looking at the Vesalius captain, he issued a calm command.
"Prepare to intercept!"
After uttering these four brief words, Creuset turned and strode out of the bridge.
...
"Rau Le Creuset, Providence Gundam, launching!"
Inside the Genesis Gundam Cockpit
Felix, piloting the Genesis Gundam, sensed unusual activity from the Vesalius through his abilities.
'Are they preparing to intercept?'
He muttered grimly to himself.
Felix adjusted to peak condition, keeping his foot firmly pressed on the acceleration pedal.
Time ticked by, and the Genesis Gundam maintained its relentless speed.
At that moment, Felix detected numerous anomalous gravitational fluctuations. Based on these fluctuations, he deduced they were attacks directed at him.
Gripping the control sticks tightly, Felix readied for combat.
As the laser radar and electro-optical detection systems identified all incoming attacks, Felix swiftly activated the Multiple Lock-on System.
The Whale Plasma Cluster Beam Cannon, Sailfish Railgun, Beam Rifle, Fortissimo Beam Cannon, and other weapons fired simultaneously.
A torrent of firepower erupted from the Genesis Gundam.
A series of explosions instantly lit up the space ahead!
The moment the explosions occurred, the Genesis Gundam retracted all its weapons, gripping the Beam Rifle as it continued forward.
Felix's fingers danced over the buttons on the control sticks.
The weapon selection display highlighted the Anti-Beam Shield!
The Genesis Gundam raised the Anti-Beam Shield, and as Felix manipulated the controls, the shield shifted to block the high-speed incoming beams.
Rapidly executing commands, Felix prompted the Genesis Gundam to evade the remaining beams.
The Destiny Support Fighter detached from the Genesis Gundam, its two Fortissimo Beam Cannons opening fire.
The six Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons mounted on it separated, maneuvering through the air under Felix's control, their barrels emitting beams.
After launching the attacks, Felix focused on the screen ahead, where the radar locked onto a target—the Providence Gundam magnified on the display.
Staring at the Providence Gundam, the piercing coldness in Felix's eyes intensified.
Pressing command buttons, he directed the Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons to speed toward the Providence Gundam.
Their barrels aimed and fired at the Providence Gundam!
Inside the Providence Gundam Cockpit
Creuset watched the screen, his hands and feet moving swiftly to operate the controls.
The Providence Gundam evaded while its own Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons targeted both the Genesis Gundam and its Dragoon units.
Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons clashed in the void, exchanging beams in a fierce aerial duel.
Under the control of Felix and Creuset, both sides evaded each other's attacks.
Inside the Genesis Gundam cockpit
Felix maneuvered the Genesis Gundam to the left front, raising the Anti-Beam Shield.
Blocking the incoming beam, he aimed the Beam Rifle at the Providence Gundam and fired.
The Providence Gundam moved to the right front to evade, its held weapon firing at the Genesis Gundam.
The unengaged Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons of the Providence shifted positions, their barrels aimed at the Genesis Gundam as they opened fire.
"Felix Leo Griffith, we meet again."
As he moved to dodge the attacks, Creuset's voice echoed through the Genesis Gundam's cockpit. Hearing Creuset's calm tone, Felix responded coldly.
"Indeed, we meet again!"
With that, Felix pulled the trigger.
The two Fortissimo Beam Cannons on the Destiny Support Fighter fired beams at the Providence Gundam.
After one shot, the Destiny Support Fighter rapidly ascended, avoiding a beam fired from a Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapon on the left.
"Your piloting skills remain as breathtaking as ever!"
"Thanks for the compliment!" Felix uttered the words of gratitude coldly, then continued with a murderous tone. "These breathtaking skills will send you to the next world today!"
"May I decline the offer?"
Hearing the killing intent in Felix's words, Creuset replied with a hint of jest.
Felix listened to Creuset's playful tone, his expression cold as he gave no response.
The Genesis Gundam continued moving, Felix using his abilities to sense the movements of the Providence's Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons.
His fingers swiftly pressed command buttons!
The Genesis Gundam raised its Beam Rifle, firing a precise shot directly at one of the Providence's Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons.
Creuset attempted to maneuver it into evading!
However, the beam's attack speed far exceeded Creuset's reaction time.
The Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapon was instantly destroyed.
Watching the flames flare up on the screen, Creuset's expression grew more severe as he issued an order to his subordinates via communication.
"Use the battleship's firepower to attack the Genesis Gundam!"
"Yes!"
A reply sounded over the comm.
The Beam Cannons equipped on the Vesalius fired at the Genesis Gundam.
The incoming beams, combined with the Providence Gundam's attacks, placed Felix in even greater danger.
Amidst such peril, Felix quickly analyzed a safe movement path using his abilities.
The Genesis Gundam moved under Felix's control.
Observing the Genesis Gundam's maneuvers, Creuset tightly gripped the control sticks, his face darkening as he muttered in a low voice.
"This guy is getting more and more formidable!"
With that, Creuset immediately maneuvered the Providence's Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons to shift positions and launch new attacks.
As they moved, Felix pressed the firing trigger and command buttons simultaneously.
The moving Genesis Gundam swiftly turned around!
Its barrel aimed squarely at one of the Providence's Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons.
"Bastard!"
Creuset cursed viciously, his fingers working the command buttons and control sticks.
The Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapon, about to fire, hurriedly executed new orders.
Shifting from active attack to passive evasion!
With a swift maneuver, the Providence Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapon evaded the Beam Rifle's attack.
But before its movement could stabilize, the Genesis Gundam's equipped Whale Plasma Cluster Beam Cannon had already opened fire.
The firepower raced straight toward it!
It was too late for Creuset to control it for evasion!
The beam directly blasted it to pieces.
After destroying this Providence Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapon, Felix's fingers pressed command buttons.
New commands were dispatched toward the Destiny Support Fighter and the Dragoon Wireless Guided Weapons.
