"Ok."

The Storm Gundam's high-energy sniper rifle began charging and then let out a ferocious roar in Yi Shuihan's direction.

"So what if it can fly? Does that mean it can withstand this?"

Diaká looked at Yi Shuihan through the scope, anticipating the scene of Yi Shuihan being blown up, but the next moment his eyes revealed infinite terror.

Despite being struck, Yi Shuihan was unharmed. He then turned his head in his direction and raised his hand. Diaká felt an overwhelming sense of life-or-death crisis approaching, threatening to engulf him completely. Then, he saw a light in his eyes, a light that was so bright.

"Boom!"

The Storm Gundam was instantly torn apart, exploding above the Coordinator's ship and leaving a huge hole in the entire warship. The warship sounded an alarm and swayed in the air before finally regaining its footing.

The entire audience held their breath, staring in disbelief at Yi Shuihan, who had caused all of this.

You have Gundam, but I have divine skills. In the end, divine skills prevail.

That was a Gundam! Unlike ordinary MA and MS, its defensive capabilities were astonishing. Even if it was hit by a missile, it wouldn't be a big deal. Combined with its powerful mobility and firepower, a single Gundam could even rival a warship. Yet, Yi Shuihan just pointed at it and the Gundam was rendered useless. How could anyone who considered the Gundam a secret weapon, a trump card that could even turn the tide of battle, believe it?

Everyone who witnessed this scene was devastated; their worldview was shattered.

"Although I know my intuition is usually very accurate, I was still surprised this time."

Mu smiled wryly, wanting to say something comforting, but found he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Luckily we did what he said, otherwise we might really have been wiped out. What kind of place is this? Is he really human?"

Yi Shuihan's attack did not end there; it wasn't a matter of you hitting me once and I hitting you back once.

With a detached gaze, he looked at the warship that was barely holding on. The light in his hand blazed again, and countless beams of light instantly pierced through the warship, as did the large number of other ships nearby. Except for the Gundam that belonged to the Coordinator, the entire Coordinator force was wiped out. The warship was directly annihilated by the beams of light, leaving not even a trace.

This ruthless tactic plunged the remaining people into boundless fear, lest Yi Shuihan suddenly strike them as well.

"team leader!"

"How could that be! I'll fight him to the death."

"Stop! Do you want to get us killed?"

"Aslan, are you afraid of death?"

"I just don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. If you can cause him even the slightest harm, I won't stop you. Otherwise, just do as he says."

The three Gundams from the Coordinator side also began to land, just like Kira.

"Is that a Saint from the Sanctuary?"

"It should be, and not just any ordinary Saint. I once saw a Bronze Saint shatter a small mountain with a single blow, but even he shouldn't be as strong as this one."

"However, this gentleman is not wearing a Saint Cloth, so we don't know what level of Saint he is."

High-ranking officials from various countries discussed Yi Shuihan's identity, and their reverence for the Saint Seiya grew even stronger.

Yi Shuihan had no idea that he was being mistaken for Athena's Saint Seiya, otherwise he would have definitely given a proper explanation, as he was a god far superior to the Saint Seiya.

A moment later, Yi Shuihan finally saw Kira and the crew aboard the Archangel.

Aslan, accompanied by two companions, stood before Yi Shuihan with their heads bowed. Besides being afraid of Yi Shuihan, they were also trying to control their emotions, lest they lose control and attack Yi Shuihan.

"First, state your background. You can tell us."

Yi Shuihan pointed at Kira and said.

“I…I’m Kira…”

Kira appeared very nervous in front of Yi Shuihan, and managed to introduce himself with some hesitation.

Chapter 787, Would you like to try cultivation?

Yi Shuihan roughly knew Kira's information. Actually, he asked this question just to see if they were planning to play tricks on him. If they were, Yi Shuihan would expose them on the spot, and their surprised expressions would be quite interesting.

However, it seems that because Yi Shuihan had acted so terrifyingly before, these people basically dared not lie, so Yi Shuihan's plan came to nothing.

Yi Shuihan couldn't possibly listen to everyone introduce themselves, so he only selected a few who left a deep impression on him, such as Maru and Lux.

Well, overall, the proportion of women selected was slightly higher than that of men. There were 3 men and 6 women selected, which is still within the normal range.

This round of introductions took nearly an hour. Throughout the process, Yi Shuihan remained indifferent, making it impossible to discern his thoughts, which left everyone feeling quite uneasy.

"Very good, no one is lying. I think you are all very aware of this. After listening to your introductions, I now have a general understanding of your situation. Now, let me tell you something you don't know."

After a pause, seeing that everyone's attention was focused, Yi Shuihan continued.

"First of all, the planet you are on now is Earth, without a doubt the planet you are thinking of. However, there is a slight difference: this is Earth in another world, another parallel universe for you. Moreover, the current era is 1958, and the technology here has not yet developed to the point of being able to migrate to space. There are no Coordinators or anything like that at all."

Upon hearing this, Yi Shuihan noticed that many natural beings showed joy in their eyes, while the adjusters looked bewildered.

Of course, there are also those who don't particularly care about the adjusters and natural people. They are more incredulous about their current situation. If it is really as Yi Shuihan said, it means that their lives will be completely changed and they will have to set new life goals.

"Most importantly, although this Earth is not as technologically advanced as your world, don't underestimate it because of that. At least it still has nuclear weapons and the like. Moreover, the most powerful force here is not technology, but the power called the Cosmo, a power passed down to mankind by the gods. The current apparent ruler of this land is the goddess Athena, and as her representative on earth, the Saints of the Sanctuary maintain order."

An atheist would be shocked to hear of the existence of gods, and Kira and his crew were no exception. Their first reaction was to question and disbelieve. However, when they thought of Yi Shuihan's previous performance, such as flying out of thin air in violation of the laws of nature and attacking a warship that destroyed it in an instant, their hearts began to tip toward theism.

"Recently, some things have happened in this world. People from other worlds like you often come here. So you don't need to worry about being captured and studied. After all, in terms of research value, you are pitifully low. Compared to those Grim Reapers and giant beasts, you people are actually very popular. Your knowledge is priceless in this world. As long as you keep a low profile and cooperate, I believe you will easily be treated well."

This wasn't a lie. I believe that all the major powers would be very willing to accept these people. Although the power of technology is not absolute in this world, it is still highly valued in the world of ordinary people. I estimate that once they join the major powers, they will be treated as treasures and secretly protected.

"Personally, I recommend you go to country Z, because country Z is the most inclusive country. There are as many as 56 ethnic groups in the country. They will not be prejudiced against you because you are from another world. On the contrary, you will have a higher status than ordinary citizens. Of course, this is on the premise that you abide by the law."

It was a small way of advertising for the world and the country closest to me.

What do you have to say?

Yi Shuihan pointed at Lux, who suddenly raised her hand.

"Sir, do you know how we can return to our original world?"

After all, it is their homeland. Even though the world situation was much worse than here, and war was imminent, their hearts still leaned more towards their homeland. Besides, their family and friends were there, and they could not bear to leave.

Suddenly arriving in a new world, who can immediately accept their situation instead of trying to find a way back? There might be such people, but they are very rare. Perhaps the person Yi Shuihan killed before was one of them.

Lux's question echoed the sentiments of everyone present, who all looked at Yi Shuihan with expectant eyes.

"It's basically impossible for you to go back."

"So there's a way?"

"Yes, there is, but it doesn't apply to you."

"Please inform me, sir."

Looking at Lux's determined expression, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but admire her inwardly. What a remarkable woman! She may seem delicate, but her inner strength is probably the most resilient among all the Gundam world people present.

"The most direct way is for you to find Athena and ask her to help you go back. First of all, I'm not sure if Athena will help you, and I'm not sure if she can do it."

Yi Shuihan did know that Athena and the others knew the inside story of the otherworldly arrival, but he didn't know the specifics, so he didn't give a definitive answer.

Where can we find Athena?

Lux pressed for an answer.

"I don't know, but you can ask in the Holy Land."

Lux wanted to ask something more, but Yi Shuihan had lost interest in answering. He walked up to Kira and casually said...

"Now there is an opportunity for you to embark on cultivation and become a powerful being capable of moving mountains and overturning seas on your own. I wonder if you would be willing to give it a try?"

Yi Shuihan didn't directly say he wanted to recruit Kira. He had his own ideas. He wanted to test the waters first before accepting the goods. He planned to see if Kira had any talent before making any decisions.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan didn't particularly like Kira. He was too indecisive, lacked his own goals, and always did things passively, like a horse being driven around. If he weren't the main character, Yi Shuihan wouldn't have given him a chance.

Chapter 788, Talent in Two States

Yi Shuihan's words were easy to understand, and everyone present could comprehend them. However, most of them looked at Kira with envious and jealous eyes, thinking to themselves, "Why isn't it me?"

"That...I..."

Under Yi Shuihan's gaze, Kira seemed somewhat at a loss. His first reaction was not surprise, but panic. Before this, he was just an ordinary student. Although his intelligence was slightly higher due to his status as a Coordinator, he was definitely not the kind of person with a very strong will.

Kira instinctively wanted to ask others for their opinions, but when he turned around and saw his former companions looking at him with strange eyes, as if he were not one of them, Kira suddenly understood something, and his heart became unusually calm.

"If I cultivate, will I become stronger, able to fly, and also be able to unleash the attacks you launched before?"

Kira asked in a low voice.

"Once you cultivate to a certain level, you can do everything easily."

"I wonder what will happen if I fail?"

"There's no danger if we fail, it just means you and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"Then I'm willing to give it a try."

Kira finally made a decision: it was just a try anyway; if it succeeded, great; if not, he could just pretend it never happened.

"look into my eyes."

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Kira subconsciously raised his head and met Yi Shuihan's gaze.

Yi Shuihan pulled Kira directly into the illusion and then instilled his knowledge of cosmic cultivation into him, allowing him to begin experimenting.

In the past, Yi Shuihan had personally explained things, which was more effective than this kind of direct instruction. However, Kira is not Yi Shuihan's type of protagonist.

All of this happened in a second to outsiders. To others, Kira simply looked up at Yi Shuihan, then made a strange gesture, and no one knew what he was doing.

"Speaking of which, I've only recruited male protagonists, which is a bit unbalanced! Although there are many objective factors involved, such as the fact that I haven't encountered any female protagonists at all."

While observing Kira's condition, Yi Shuihan was also lost in thought, and then he discovered a very serious problem.

These days everyone talks about gender equality, and Yi Shuihan thinks we should respond to that too. Next time, we need to pay attention to the recruitment process. Well, if it's a female protagonist, it's okay if she's a little less talented. After all, men should be the ones doing the fighting, and women are good for looking good, cheering, and livening up the atmosphere.

While Yi Shuihan was observing Kira and considering the feasibility of recruiting a female protagonist, Maru and the others also began their own discussion.

"Captain Murrue, is what he said true? What should we do next?"

One of Kira's classmates, a minor character, said with a terrified expression.

"I don't believe it. How could we suddenly come to another world with gods and stuff? It must be a lie."

A man who was on the verge of a mental breakdown screamed.

"There's a god here! And that cosmos... If only we had the chance to learn it too. Kira is so lucky to have been chosen by this powerful being. If he succeeds, wouldn't he be able to fly, tear apart Gundams with his bare hands, and trample on warships?"

He's a rather optimistic guy.

Maru's mind was also in a state of confusion, but as the temporary captain and the backbone of everyone present, she knew that she could not show her true thoughts. Instead, she put on an extremely calm appearance and comforted her subordinates with words that she herself did not quite understand.

"This is... a huge problem!"

Mu is surrounded by an ace pilot, who is arguably the most determined and mature person here. In the past, he would have thought Yi Shuihan's words were nonsense, but now he can only passively force himself to accept reality.

Imagine a stranger suddenly appearing in front of you and saying things that shatter your worldview. Even someone as professionally trained as Mu wouldn't be fooled. But what can you do when the speaker is Yi Shuihan? Even without any deliberate display, the invisible influence of his status as a Silver-level expert and a god would subconsciously make those whose strength is far inferior to his believe what he says.

"Lux, is it really possible for us to go back?"

Athrun walked up to Lux, his expression extremely complicated.

Looking at her fiancé, Lux gave him a comforting smile and softly reassured him.

"Yes, as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to return to our world."

Will the goddess Athena really help us?

Lux herself was very uncertain about this issue. The idea of ​​gods seemed very distant, but now she had to face it.

Even Athena might not be able to help them; this possibility has been subconsciously blocked out, as they are unwilling to accept this outcome.

……

"It seems his talent isn't that great!"

Seeing that Kira hadn't moved for a long time, Yi Shuihan realized that perhaps not all protagonists have great talents. Some protagonists' main abilities are luck, being a kept man, or lowering the enemy's intelligence.

It's clear that Kira isn't particularly outstanding in terms of cosmos training.

"Let's see how he performs in his peak condition. If he's still not up to par, we'll take back his spot."

Kira in his Explosive form is definitely not controllable automatically. He can only enter when he is highly focused, forgets everything else, and has only one thought in his mind. The first time he enters is usually when his life is in danger.

This was of course no challenge for Yi Shuihan. With just a little guidance, Kira's eyes turned into a single color, and his pupils constricted.

"It does have some effect, no wonder it is a state on par with the burst of the microcosm. It's a pity that this state cannot be turned into a regular state, as it consumes too much mental energy."

Yi Shuihan was fully aware of Kira's situation. After entering the Explosive State, Kira's comprehension speed of the Cosmo increased dramatically. If Kira's talent for cultivating the Cosmo was one before, it has now become ten. In the Explosive State, his talent is comparable to Genius.

"It's a bit of an in-between situation. If his normal state were comparable to Gon's, or even if he were a little weaker, I would think it would be acceptable to take him on. But now, he's only Gon for a dozen minutes a day, and his talent is similar to that of an ordinary Silver Saint. My expectations have been greatly reduced."
