Gundam Seed: Final Destination Chapter 777: : Farewell – Durandal

"I'm really happy that you can come to see me for the last time."

Durandall had a relaxed smile on his face.

That eternally elegant expression and smile reminded Noel of Durandal when the two first met.

At that time, his expression was full of youth and vitality, his eyes were not as calm and thorough as a ruler, and the silence as if he had understood everything.

"Who told us to be friends, the last journey can only be done by myself."

Noel restrained his emotions, shrugged with a smile.

"Friend?"

"Isn't it—my best friend, ZAFT geneticist Gilbert Durandal."

Facing Noel's answer, Durandal's smile gradually subsided, and he raised his head and said in a relieved tone: "Thank you."

The vibration caused by the explosion became stronger.

Looking at the dilapidated room, Noel asked calmly, "Aren't you going?"

"Go?"

Durandal shook his head, and replied calmly: "I can't get out, I can't get out, this is probably my final destination."

Yes, he can't get away.

He couldn't get out of his inner compromise with fate.

Having compromised with his fate, he has already determined that the arrangement of fate cannot be changed.

So, he accepted the fate in front of him.

If he goes, he denies himself and everything he has done.

He will never allow this, so Durandal will not leave, nor can he leave.

Listening to Durandal's answer, Noel didn't know what to say for a moment.

He thought he would have a lot of questions, that he and Durandal would have a lot of conversations.

But when we really stood face to face with him, those problems became unimportant.

"If you have any questions, just ask, in my last time, I will try my best to answer you."

Durandall said with a smile.

"There used to be, but now, those problems are not important."

Noel shook his head.

Life is rare.

At least I have come to the end and got what I want, and everything else is not important.

Hearing this, Durandal stared at Noel calmly: "You have really changed a lot."

"People are subject to change, you, me, everyone is like this, but because of this, human beings have infinite possibilities, aren't they."

Noel has definitely changed.

I don't know when it started.

"Even if it is dangerous and uncontrollable?"

"Even if it is dangerous and uncontrollable."

"Do you think everything I have done is right or wrong?"

Durandall asked calmly.

When the question came out, he himself was surprised that he would ask such a question.

"Does my opinion matter?"

Noel asked back.

"Don't know."

Durandall's heart was in turmoil.

"Then have you ever regretted it?"

"What do you regret?"

"Anything is fine."

"Probably not."

"Even now?"

"Even now."

Looking into Durandal's eyes, Noel suddenly smiled and said, "So, do you think everything you have done is right or wrong?"

"Hehe, I really can't stand you."

Durandall smiled dumbly.

Yeah, since I have never regretted it, how can I talk about right or wrong.

What is fate, what cannot be escaped can be called fate.

I accepted my fate and fulfilled it, so there is nothing to regret, and what is right or wrong.

Standing in a corner of the speaker's room, Lei stared at the two of them blankly.

When he left the landline at the port and came here alone.

When the results came in, they found that Noel and Durandal had already started a conversation.

The two of them don't have any enmity at this time, what they have is harmony like friends for many years.

However, when he heard Gilbert Durandal say that he had never regretted it, he felt a piercing pain in his heart for some reason.

Have you ever regretted it, including yourself——

The tremor at the base is getting stronger.

"You should go, if you don't want to be buried with me."

Looking around, Durandal smiled calmly and said, "Go and taste the fruits of victory, and bring my blessings with you."

"Don't tell me, your blessing is not poisoned."

Noel sneered.

"Please, I am still the speaker and your best friend. My blessings are very sincere."

It was rare for Durandal to reply in a normal tone.

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it with difficulty, who made you my best friend."

Noel replied helplessly.

Durandal shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, looked up at the broken headquarters and fell silent for a while.

Afterwards, he slowly raised his pistol facing Noel.

Noel also took out the gun that he carried with him at this time.

Rear, Lei watched this scene and suddenly froze in place, not knowing what happened.

But he quickly drew out his pistol and pointed it at Noel's back.

Durandall noticed Ray's action and shook his head at him.

Then he set his sights on Noel: "Goodbye, Noel, my best friend, thank you for sending me this journey."

Meeting Noel's gaze, Durandal put his finger on the trigger.

Bang——

Sudden gunshots rang out.

The tall and thin figure of the man shook, the pistol fell to the ground, and he staggered towards the chair behind him.

There was a mass of red and black blood on the long coat representing the chairman of the Supreme Council.

Ray Za Barel subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger, but was pushed down by an arm coming from behind.

"I have indeed received your blessing, and I will continue to walk with it."

While Noel was speaking, he retracted the pistol that was rising from the smoke, and turned to look at Lei and Captain Thalia behind him.

At this moment, Lei Junxiu's face was already distorted, and he fell to the ground like a puppet with a broken thread.

Thalia looked down at Ray sadly, then resolutely walked past Noel and came to Durandal.

"You are here."

Durandall looked up weakly and smiled.

"You bastard."

Looking at Durandal who was struggling to sit on the chair, Talia unconsciously shed tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Sorry, I—"

Durandall smiled slightly, then coughed up a big mouthful of blood, leaned over, and slid to the ground in Thalia's arms.

He gasped in pain, his voice already hoarse.

Talia possessed him and gently lifted him up, letting him lean on her lap, stroking Durandal's pale face: "Why didn't you tell me."

"Hehe——"

Durandall smiled weakly and did not answer, but just looked at Noel.

Noel saw what Durandal meant, and looked at Thalia: "Captain Thalia."

"Let's go."

There was another explosion in the distance, but her resolute voice surpassed everything else, and it was heard clearly in her ears.

"—The soul of this person, I will take it away."

Hearing the determination in that peaceful tone, Noel swallowed the words back.

"I just want to ask you to give me a word to Captain Ramias."

There was sadness in her smile.

After all, she was reluctant to give up, and she still had that love and affection. She said: "I have a son, and he is still very young... Please ask her to visit him one day..."

"I will."

Noel nodded solemnly.

"Thank you."

Talia smiled.

Noel looked at the dying Durandal lying in Thalia's arms with such a calm and peaceful face, as if he was intoxicated in a good time.

The explosion sounded again, reminding that time is coming to an end.

Noel turned around and patted Ray Za Barel on the shoulder, then left under Durandal's gaze.

Lei quietly shed tears, watching the man who was shot.

The hand that was paralyzed on the ground once hugged him kindly, giving him a lot of comfort and warmth.

But now—

Ray has always loved him, expected to be his strength, dreamed of the world he would create, and now—

It's ridiculous to say that Lei Mingming gave up a long time ago, and now he is even less hopeful.

He knew that he didn't want to live at all, no matter from which point of view, his fate was over.

Suddenly, he became frightened.

I have never been afraid of death before, why are I so afraid now?

Like a newborn baby, he touches the living world for the first time and trembles at it.

At this moment, he seemed to hear someone calling him.

Ray turned his head awkwardly and looked at the half-destroyed console.

Probably the communicator is not broken yet.

There were faint noises coming from there, the voice was very small, but his name was mixed with it.

"Thunder! Thunder! Answer quickly when you hear it!"

Really non-stop calling, has been repeated countless times.

Looking out from the opened cockpit opening of Impulse Gundam, the fortress that is almost in flames is right in front of you.

"Really...I see..."

Luna Maria looked sad and shook her head slightly, but Zhen Asuka insisted on refusing to give up, and still shouted into the communication machine: "Ray! It's me! Answer quickly——"

At this moment, they heard a faint human voice in the noise.

"... really... you...?"

The two looked at each other in surprise.

There was no image on the screen, and the audio channel was full of noise, but it was indeed Ray's voice, and he was really on the Messiah!

Quickly raise your voice: "Ray! There's still time! Come out!"

Unexpectedly, Lei gave him an unexpected answer.

"...can't be done."

"Are you injured? Then I'll go find you! You first—"

"True!"

Luna Maria hastily stopped him.

All the entrances and exits of the Messiah are occupied by the erupting flames, and it is difficult to get inside safely with the damaged Impulse Gundam.

It's just that I really want to rush to Lei's side.

Ray has the deepest friendship with me and is also the closest friend. He always helps me and takes care of me in all aspects. Only he understands many of my ideas, even though those ideas are wrong.

So, this time I must save him——!

Zhen Asuka tightly grasped this idea and refused to let it go, as if it was also his own salvation.

But he heard Ray's refusal.

Among the strong and sometimes weak noise, it is very clear: "Gilbert is dead..."

He took a deep breath, both shocked and foresightedly discouraged.

"But..."

True Asuka still tried his best to convince him: "Live! Ray!"

Although I know that Lei's life is running out, but...

"Didn't you say it before! No matter how small a life is, as long as there is a chance, it will want to live!"

Let there be no children in this world who have the same experience as us. Lei seems to be able to calmly accept his fate as a replicant, but there is a longing for life hidden in his heart.

No matter how small and humble, even if there are not many days to come, as long as you can achieve it, you will always have the yearning for survival.

So, Zhen still hopes that he will not give up his survival, just like he hopes that Stella will not die.

Don't give up lightly, even if you are burdened with a deep sin, or you only have one day to live.

"True..."

Lei's voice was indistinct, mixed with noise, it sounded like he was crying.

"...you guys... go, live... take my tomorrow and future..."

The noisy telecommunications were extremely unstable, and Lei's voice suddenly stopped.

"Thunder!"

The noise was getting louder and louder, Lei seemed to say something again, it sounded like please or sorry, before he could understand, the channel was cut off suddenly.

At the same time, the Messianic fire intensified.

Also at this moment, a dark red mobile phone with light wings rushed out through the flames.

"Ray, come here."

Seeing the young man sitting in front of the console, Thalia called him softly.

Ray opened his eyes wide and turned his head, looking a little surprised.

Talia looked at him and smiled at him as if she were her own child.

"Sorry, Thalia..."

With a dying gasp in his throat, Durandal looked at her as if he was looking at a light: "...But, I'm really happy."

"You are..."

Thalia smiled wryly, and couldn't figure out whether she was talking about him or herself.

"Hey, really... I have nothing to do with you."

Also at this moment, the explosion blew the door open, tongues of flame shot up to the ceiling, explosions occurred one after another nearby, the fire in the shaft scattered debris everywhere, thick cable pipes fell, and the floor suddenly With a jump, the high temperature rushed towards them.

——How could it be like this?

The past that was supposed to be let go, unexpectedly caught up with her at this moment and entangled her.

"Could this be the so-called destiny? You and me."

"Stop making trouble..."

Thalia said so, but looking at Durandal in his arms, his expression was so satisfied and happy.

Ray stood a little far away and looked at it, and Thalia held out a hand to him, motioning him to come closer.

When Lei Qieyao approached and knelt down beside her, Thalia hugged him forcefully towards her.

"You did your best...you did a great job."

This child, as well as Durandal—or himself, may not have acted correctly, but along the way, he has also devoted all his energy and struggled tenaciously to this day.

"So it's fine...you know...it's okay..."

She whispered in his ear, as if coaxing a child.

Ray whimpered, and embraced Thalia with both hands, as if full of dependence.

He buried his face in front of her chest, and his expression suddenly became serene, full of innocence like a newborn baby.

Mom...

Thalia seemed to hear the young man's murmur, and love suddenly surged in her chest.

—Sorry...

In the middle of the fire, she apologized in her heart to the youngest son she left behind.

—Mum has to come and take these two away.

Actually, I should have taken care of them long ago, but I just didn't. Now my mother has no choice but to feel sorry for you.

She can't undo the past, but she can do her best to make it up.

Perhaps, the so-called irreversible things do not actually exist in this world. At this moment, Thalia suddenly thought so.

When the final explosion hit the command room, she did not let go of the two in her arms.

Thalia hugged them tightly ~IndoMTL.com~ The three of them were like a wonderful family, sublimated and disappeared in the firelight.

Being impacted by the explosion, the Messiah wrapped in flames slowly fell towards the moon.

There are rocks and debris scattered all the way, but it is so bleak.

The tongues of fire surrounded the rock block, like circles of golden borders, but they were able to break free from the damaged outer ring, and at the same time fell off themselves.

One end of the fortress hit the surface of the moon under the pull of gravity, and the sand and dust kicked up seemed to be in slow motion.

The rock block could not withstand the mass and impact force, and began to collapse from the point of impact, and finally collapsed completely.

The impact spread across the lunar surface like water waves.

Noel sat quietly in the cockpit, watching the fall of Messiah's base.

Suddenly, his vision seemed to pass through the icy shell of Messiah, and saw the warmth hidden inside.

"Farewell, Durandal—"
