Those crimson eyes suddenly lit up, like a slumbering beast opening its eyes.
The wings behind it silently spread wide!
There appeared to be four of them, but as they unfolded, the four feathered wings slowly separated again, becoming eight.
It was the same result as Parvati Gundam.
No, an even more complex structure.
"Come on, let's continue our battle—hey!"
Garuda switched to its secondary camera and tried to attack Strike Freedom again, but Strike Freedom merely swayed lightly, evading it before continuing to look upward.
"You bastard!"
It had been ignored.
Garuda had been ignored!
—I've been ignored!
Garuda charged forward again.
"Stop getting in the way!"
She had read the other side's thoughts.
But even after reading them, she could not react in time. The other party's thoughts were even faster than she had imagined, and carried a trace of impatience.
As if... she were merely a rock by the roadside.
Stimulated by this newly appeared Gundam, Kira's SEED had fully unfolded and merged with the Radiant Communicator.
At this moment, Kira's thinking and reaction abilities had already surpassed Orphee's.
Kira could almost instantly determine what Garuda was about to do.
There was no need to think. It was merely a simple reaction.
She did not care about having her mind read, because her thoughts had already surpassed the Coordinators' ability to read them.
"Parvati... no... the original one."
Kira murmured.
At that moment, the calamity in the sky had bared its fangs.
Its wings spread open, revealing the intricate energy conduits and thruster nozzles inside, along with multiple launch platforms hidden within the wings.
These wings could disperse into independent Mobile Armors, or serve as separate firepower points.
A blazing crimson glow lit up, casting its black armor like a relief carved from hell.
The attack began.
