Thor Kenny danced with excitement inside the Reinforced Gear.

"Reinforced Gear, Thor Kenny, a bunch of hemp fibers.

Oh yeah, still young at heart. I've wanted to say that for ages, hahaha!"

Thor Kenny piloted the Reinforced Gear to survey the surroundings. When he spotted a pair of Twin Towers in the distance, he immediately understood where he was.

This should be Shinjuku in Neon Country. If he remembered correctly, this was where Domon first encountered the Devil Gundam.

Now that he knew where he was, he could escape with some peace of mind. He could consider heading to New Hong Kong first, one of the few prosperous cities on Earth, and figure out how to get some supplies.

There was water in the Death Army units. Simulating it should not be a problem.

Not long after setting out, he noticed a figure on the ground. Once he saw that little braid, Thor Kenny felt like his whole world had gone wrong.

Master Asia... the man who dismantled Gundams with his bare hands. More importantly, he was with the Devil Gundam. Thor nearly had a heart attack.

What kind of luck was this? He had actually run into him. A Gear was nowhere near enough for Master Asia to tear apart.

"If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster. If it's a disaster, I can't avoid it. If it comes to it, I'll gamble. System, can I reveal that I'm a transmigrator and spoil the plot?"

"Host, before your strength in the main world reaches the point where you can live freely and safely, it is recommended that you do not casually reveal such information or make excessive changes to the plot. Other worlds are unrestricted."

"Heh, the system's awesome. I'm doing it. Master Asia isn't exactly a good man or a bad man, but at least he has grand environmental ideals. I should be able to talk him around through that."

Thor slowly guided the Reinforced Gear to a stop in an open area not far from Master Asia, then grabbed the descent cable and jumped out of the unit.

"Respected Asian Venerable, Master Asia, hello! I am Thor Kenny. It is an honor to meet you. Please take care of me!"

Master Asia warily glanced at the unit in the distance before saying to Thor, "Oh? You know me. May I ask what business you have with me?"

Thor said timidly, "Master Asia, let's exchange code phrases first. Please don't attack me—I don't know martial arts. Style!"

Master Asia... Thor Kenny

"Invincible Eastern Style!"... "King of Winds!"

"Brand-new!"... "Series Break!"

"Heavenly Break!"... "Heroic Chaos!"

"Behold! The East is burning crimson!"

"Behold! The East is burning crimson!"

Master Asia said seriously, "Oh, it seems you know the Invincible Eastern Style well. What a pity you do not know martial arts.

Speak. What do you want from me?"

Thor Kenny answered excitedly.

"Of course! In this world, the person I admire most is you, Master Asia.

Well, I came here from another world. I saw projection footage of this world in my original world.

In another world, the story here became an anime called Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

It told the story of your disciple, Domon Kasshu, as its protagonist, following his experiences.

With Earth Domination as the stage and the Devil Gundam as the enemy, he fought again and again until he finally won and defeated the Devil Gundam.

He also carried forward your martial arts and founded the Dimension Emperor Style Martial Arts.

The ultimate technique used to defeat the Devil Gundam was adapted from the Ultimate Gundam Punch. Together with Reina Soho, he used the Love Ultimate Gundam Punch to defeat the Devil Gundam.

In the end, before the Devil Gundam was destroyed, it completely broke down and purified Earth's environment at the same time."

"Master Asia, have you come into contact with the Devil Gundam yet?

I know you are helping the Devil Gundam—or rather, the Super Gundam—work toward purifying Earth's environment."

Master Asia stared at him with murderous eyes that seemed capable of killing, then said unhurriedly.

"Oh? That sounds rather convincing. You even know that I am with the Devil Gundam. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Thor Kenny gathered his courage, straightened his back, and shouted.

"Master Asia, I'm actually very afraid. When I saw you, I was nearly scared to death.

I know you can dismantle machines barehanded. My unit is not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.

But I know you are a good man who thinks of Earth. Keeping me alive will benefit you.

And I want to learn the Invincible Eastern Style Martial Arts from you, so I cannot give up this opportunity.

I will travel to even more worlds in the future. If I don't become stronger, I can only wait to die.

I don't want to die. The only way is to learn all kinds of skills and make myself stronger. Please accept me as your disciple, Master Asia."

"Very well. Tell me the circumstances of this world in detail first, then I will consider whether to accept you."

Thor told Master Asia everything he could remember about the plot of G Gundam. After all, it was an anime he had watched a long time ago.

But he could still recount the main plot, including the fact that the Devil Gundam could wield greater power with a female pilot than with a male one.

Thor concealed how he had transmigrated, claiming instead that he had awakened a superpower that allowed him to travel randomly between worlds.

He also disclosed everything about how he escaped the Devil Gundam, obtained the mutated DG Cells, and acquired the Nano Suit—details that were not particularly important.

"By the way, Master Asia, how has your health been lately? In the anime, your health should have deteriorated near the end.

You kept your human body free of DG Cell infection to the very end, which left you powerless. You eventually lost to Domon Kasshu and died.

I have a method we can try: my Nano Suit, Nami.

She absorbed and enhanced the Devil Gundam's DG Cells. She can heal injuries and carry out Rejuvenation Modification. Would you like to try it? Don't worry, it won't infect you. It is controllable."

"Is that so? Then let's try it."

"Yes, Master." "Nami, can you examine Master Asia's body and treat him?"

Nami detached from Thor and completely covered Master Asia's body.

[Understood, Master... beginning invasive scan... searching for a viable treatment plan... treatment commencing... please relax, treatment will be completed within 10 minutes.] [10 minutes later: Treatment complete... bodily rejuvenation complete... all nanocells returning to the primary body.]

Master Asia said happily, "It really worked. I feel completely healed, and much younger as well.

It seems most of what you said was true. Then I will keep you by my side for now.

You can learn the Invincible Eastern Style Martial Arts while we wait for Domon Kasshu to arrive.

By the way, do you have any thoughts or plans regarding this world's future?"

While Master Asia was in high spirits, Thor immediately offered tea and completed the disciple ceremony, then said to him.

"Thank you for taking me in, Master. I think that under normal circumstances, it would be best to follow the original plot. When the time comes, you can fake your death.

I can have Nami leave some DG Cells in your body to create a death effect convincing enough to fool anyone.

They can be removed afterward, so there will be no lasting effects."

"There is another possibility we need to test first: whether the Devil Gundam would become stronger if a man and a woman piloted it together.

As the saying goes, a lone yang cannot thrive, and neither can a lone yin. Just like yin and yang, the taiji, and the eight trigrams, harmony between yin and yang is best."

(Two-person piloting, a man and a woman together—work never feels tiring... ?^?,,)
