At the same time Fang Zheng and others arrived in this world, chaos had already broken out in the Earth Federation Defense Headquarters.

"The Earth-Moon defense line has been completely lost! Is there no other way for us?"

The top executive of the Earth Federation slammed his fist on the table.

"Use a nuclear bomb. This is the last resort!"

"Are you stupid? Nuclear bomb? Are you sure that nuclear bombs will work on those monsters? By then, those monsters won't be able to be killed, but we will kill ourselves first!"

"So what? We will die anyway. Even if it means death, it is our own choice!"

"Nonsense! What if, what if we can win?"

"Victory? Are you kidding? What do we have left now? Mobile suits, battleships, defense weapons, and even fortress satellites are no match for that terrifying metal monster. How can you win now?"

Listening to the quarrel, a big man with his hair standing up in a V shape closed his eyes and sighed.

He is Admiral Goto of the Earth Federation Army and the father of Captain Goto Yurika of the Nadeshiko. But now, he is just a tired old man.

"What exactly are those monsters?"

While muttering to himself, Admiral Yutong opened his eyes and stared at the reapers on the screen in front of him. These metal monsters appeared suddenly. No one knew where they came from. They only knew that these monsters were first discovered on the battlefield between the Earth Federation and ZAFT. At that time, they thought these monsters were ZAFT's latest weapons, but soon, they found that this was not the case...

No, it should be said that Admiral Yutong would rather hope that these monsters are hidden weapons of ZAFT, so that at least they can solve the problem through political means. But this is not the case. These metal monsters do not communicate with them at all. They just kill anyone they see, whether it is an earthling, an adjuster, a new human or an alien. It is the same for those alien monsters.

They ruthlessly harvested all the legions of both sides on the battlefield at that time and completely wiped them out.

Before either side could react, news of the attacks on their colonies and satellites came in from all directions. Even the evil forces including the Underground Empire and the Jupiter Lizards were also attacked by these monsters.

Until this time, whether it was the Earth, PLANT, Zeon, or the Martian forces, they all finally understood one thing.

That is, the other party's goal is to kill all life.

However, even knowing this, even if they put aside their long-standing prejudices and united for the first time, they were still no match for these terrifying metal monsters. In the lunar counterattack, the fleets of various forces launched a counterattack against the Reapers, but after paying the painful price of two-thirds of the entire fleet being killed or wounded, they only achieved the "result" of shooting down one Reaper.

They lost hundreds of battleships, their entire mobile suits were destroyed, and in the end only one in ten people survived.

Of course, they have temporarily "repelled" the attack of the Reapers. After all, according to reports, those terrible metal monsters left the moon after this battle.

But they did not really retreat like that. On the contrary, the Alliance soon found out why these strange-looking things retreated - they went to human gathering places all over the universe and launched a ruthless attack!

The Martian colony was destroyed.

All SIDE colony satellites from 1 to 7 were destroyed.

The Jupiter Lizard Empire was directly blown to pieces.

PLANT…became history three days ago.

And now... all that's left is the Earth and these defeated soldiers in his hands.

MS is useless, no matter which faction's mobile weapons, their attack power is not enough to penetrate the armor of those metal monsters. Not only that, the drones of those metal monsters are simply the natural enemies of MS, they are fast and flexible, extremely strange, and their firepower is quite terrifying. Basically, no MS can withstand the attack of those drones!

Up to now, mankind has almost reached the end of its rope.

This meeting has now been going on for three full days, and during these three days, people have only been arguing about one issue.

That is... should we use nuclear bombs to attack the Reapers?

The affirmative side believes that we will die sooner or later anyway, and according to the intelligence received previously, these reapers do not need slaves, they will use special technology to transform humans into very terrifying monsters. In other words, even if humans surrender, they will not be able to escape death, so it is better to die gloriously. The nuclear bombs on Earth are currently enough to completely destroy the entire Earth 180 times. Even if they cannot destroy those monsters by then, they will let them see the backbone of humans.

Human beings can be exterminated, but they will never surrender!

The opposing view is that this kind of self-abandonment will not have any good results. Although we do not have a way to defeat those monsters at present, humans must not perish. We can hide, even if we live in a cave for tens of thousands of years, as long as we are still alive, then human civilization will continue to exist one day!

There is hope in life! Death is just a cowardly act of escaping fear!

“How ironic.”

Just when Admiral Yutong was having a headache over this endless quarrel, an elegant and steady voice sounded beside him. Admiral Yutong turned around and saw a blond, masked man in a Zeon uniform sitting on a chair next to him. He folded his arms and looked at the meeting place in front of him with amusement.

"This is really a farce, isn't it? Admiral Yutong, humans are about to be extinct, and they are still holding a meeting here? If the meeting can solve those monsters, then there is no need for us to show up, right?"

"Captain Char..."

Hearing the mockery from the blond masked man, Admiral Yutong smiled helplessly. However, before he could say anything, another voice sounded from the other side of him.

"This is human nature, sad and weak. Humanity will eventually perish, and this is the beginning of destruction."

"Captain Cruze..."

Admiral Yutong felt uncomfortable watching another blond masked man sitting on the other side of his body. Can't you two masked men find a place to talk by yourselves? Why do you have to sit here with me and put me in the middle?

"Captain Char, do you have any ideas for dealing with that kind of monster?"

"I don't have any good ideas... After all, human power is limited. I can fight against a large army, and I will also look for opportunities to win in a life-and-death battle, but I will not be stupid enough to consider how to resist a landslide or tsunami..."

“That’s really interesting.”

Hearing Char's answer, Cruze chuckled.

"So, Captain Char, you regard those monsters as natural disasters?"

"That's about right. After all, they are very much like natural disasters, aren't they? You see, they suddenly appear and explode, and humans are completely powerless to resist... This is not an enemy we can fight by controlling our mobile suits. But then again, Captain Cruze, you don't seem to want humans to win? This doesn't sound like what the human hero who opened the shields of those monsters and successfully destroyed one of them would say in the Moon Counterattack."

"The extinction of mankind is a foregone conclusion. I just want to sit in the special seats and watch it. It would be a pity if I was asked to leave a play before I even saw the climax..."

Having said that, the two looked at each other.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

“Hehehe…”

Admiral Yutong: “…”

Can you two go somewhere else to chat? It's so cold here. Is the air conditioning in the venue turned on too high?

"drop--!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, an urgent alarm sounded, interrupting the quarrel in the meeting room, and soon, an anxious voice emerged from the screen.

"Report, radar has detected the silhouette of a metal monster! It is heading towards the Earth! Thirty in number! It will reach the Earth in one hour!"

“As expected!”

Hearing this, Admiral Yutong's face changed, he stood up and walked out of the meeting. In his opinion, what those politicians discussed was irrelevant. As the admiral of the federal army, there was only one thing he had to do!

With the sound of urgent alarms, warships took off one after another and arrived outside the earth and formed a formation. Admiral Yutong looked at the screen in front of him and clenched his fists.

This battle will be a battle of life and death for the entire earth. If they fail again, then... mankind will probably be completely destroyed.

"Report, enemy traces spotted ahead!"

Needless to say, Admiral Yutong had already seen the voices of those huge reapers on the screen. He raised his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then swung it down with force.

"All fleets, listen up - open fire!"
