Reversal (Second Update)

"What a spiteful fellow. Still, he’s quite capable. I’ll give you a little test. If you survive and still remember me the next time we meet, I can consider finding something for you to do."

Xu Yue smiled casually.

"H-Hey, was what he just said true, Doctor Xu?"

Wu Mo instinctively started speaking in his old tone, but halfway through, he nervously and noticeably changed how he addressed Xu Yue, going from "kid" straight to "Doctor Xu."

Xu Yue still wore his unchanged, gentle expression as he glanced at Wu Mo and the others.

"I hadn’t been interested in doing anything to you, but now you’re something of a minor nuisance."

Before anyone could ask another question, Xu Yue’s pupils transformed into the Mangekyo pattern and began to spin before anyone could react.

Tsukuyomi!

This was Tsukuyomi after he had become a Code bearer, with the will of C World serving as its projection within this world!

Those who possessed a Code could only connect to C’s World; they possessed no abilities similar to Geass and were completely unable to use that power.

But Xu Yue possessed an independent mental space. With Tsukuyomi, even though he had yet to complete his plan, he could make full use of it within this Mission Space!

A terrifying force surged directly through their connection to C World, brutally forcing its way into their memories and erasing and altering the relevant portions.

Wu Mo and the other two members of Sun Lin’s Squad were instantly struck into idiocy by that overbearing force, their minds completely blank.

The resolute soldier Zhou Qiang and the bespectacled Fang Ting seemed to have received some relevant enhancements. Blood sprayed from their noses and mouths, but they merely fell unconscious and lost the related memories.

Hyena was in even better shape. He simply fainted and suffered a little nosebleed.

"It’s fairly handy when used in this world, especially on small fry. I wonder what changes there’ll be after I obtain the complete version."

Having casually finished the test he wanted to conduct, Xu Yue ignored the people on the ground and stepped over them, heading toward one side of the battlefield. They were just small fry. If he wasn’t interested, he ignored them; if he felt like dealing with them, he dealt with them. It was merely a test of his ability…

The direction Xu Yue headed toward was beneath one of the three Helicarriers.

This was the flagship location indicated by the memories transmitted when his clone dispersed.

Using the information passed on by the Wood Clone, and taking advantage of the opportunity the Wood Clone had created to briefly disengage from the battlefield, this was the best possible opportunity.

But there was still a rather obvious gap between him and the Empire. If he wanted to win this battle, it would be difficult to turn things around even if he killed himself to the point of exhaustion alone. So, he might as well use a more direct and simpler method…

Mm, this position was about right. Here, then.

Xu Yue’s Tsukuyomi eyes changed once more in an instant, taking on the form of the Rinnegan.

He then brought his hands together, and a terrifying aura spread outward.

Chunks of rubble and fragments around him began to slowly rise uncontrollably.

A gravitational seed was hurled into the sky, straight toward the vicinity of the flagship.

With that gravitational seed as its core, an immense gravitational force emerged like a black hole.

Even a massive entity like the Helicarrier was shaken continuously by that force, unable to escape gravity’s grasp.

Inside the bridge, the Second Prince and his advisers could barely keep their footing.

The Helicarrier, capable of traveling through typhoons, was actually suffering violent tremors and jolts.

What on earth was happening?!

But they had little time to think.

As the enormous Helicarrier was dragged toward that black point, dents and compression began appearing across its surface.

The section nearest the black point rapidly collapsed, its internal spaces crushed completely flat!

"What is that thing?"

"Impossible! What kind of weapon is this?!"

"Hull damage has exceeded 20%!"

"It’s already over 40%! We need to land… No, we’re going to crash!"

"But why haven’t we started falling yet?"

"The engines have all been destroyed! What is happening now?"

"What are those? Why is the ground floating up?"

Inside the bridge, they stared through the huge observation windows at the rocks and chunks of earth rising from the ground and smashing toward them, utterly unable to understand what was happening.

The mechas looked as though they were drunk, like thumbtacks drawn toward a magnet.

An aerial-combat Sunderland desperately fired its rear engines as it struggled, yet it was swept into a vortex. It spiraled around the carrier like a satellite falling through the atmosphere, its orbit tightening with every turn.

Then it slammed into the carrier at high speed, exploding into a ball of fire.

The flagship shook once more.

And that was merely one of the many escort mechas nearby!

But soon, they could no longer see what was happening outside. Not only had all kinds of devices failed, but the bridge’s observation windows were completely covered and buried beneath dirt and rocks…

Large quantities of rubble and massive chunks of earth rose from the ground and gathered continuously, wrapping up and sealing the carrier within them.

The clear outline of a huge sphere appeared in the sky, and it continued growing larger!

The mechas closer to it were likewise unable to escape that gravitational pull and were dragged down…

"What’s happening?"

"What is that thing?!"

"No! Stop!"

With that carrier as its central foundation, and the surrounding mechas, soaring rocks, and chunks of earth forming its outer layers—

Layer upon layer, it thickened without end!

In the end, it formed a meteor that blotted out the sky.

Its shadow blocked the sunlight, covering the entire battlefield.

Everyone looked up at that terrifying thing.

Whether they were pilots inside mechas or infantrymen.

Or Britannia soldiers.

All wore expressions of utter disbelief and terror toward the unknown.

They could not comprehend how such a thing had formed.

And the slowly moving meteor was headed directly above the ordinary carriers on the sea!

Cornelia, the first to react aboard another Helicarrier, immediately realized that something was wrong.

"All ships and all mechas, leave that sea area immediately! Everyone near the shore, move inland!"

Almost as soon as her order was issued, the entire legion’s morale completely collapsed.

Staring at the shadow overhead, countless faces were filled with despair.

"Run! Hurry!"

"Start the ships! Move!"

"Faster! Do you want to die?!"

"…"

However, only when the meteor’s size and position had reached the most suitable point did Xu Yue, nearly drained dry, reveal a faintly sickly and eerie smile.

Chibaku Tensei!

The "meteor" floating in the air—

In the next instant, not only did the force holding it aloft vanish, but it reversed into a downward force that combined with its own weight, suddenly accelerating as it crashed toward the sea below…

Second update! There’s one more update today~

People like Wu Mo were merely opportunistic. They fawned over those above them and bullied those below them. There were actually many people like that…
