Mikazuki, after connecting to the Alaya-Vijnana, activated the retinal projection. The simulator in his mind made Mikazuki's vision fully spherical.

The original feedback seen by Barbatos was reflected in his own eyes. Strike had already taken the lead in attacking. Mikazuki followed closely behind. "Mikazuki Augus, Barbatos, sortie!"

After arriving in space, Mikazuki zoomed in on the scene in front of him. Strike, the Mobius Zero, and three Gundams had already begun to engage in battle. They were Strike (G-Force) vs. Duel (Duel), Mobius Zero vs. Buster (Storm).

As for why the Ginn and Aegis weren't found, it was naturally because of the damage caused by the previous battle with Mikazuki. They were still under repair and unable to participate in the battle. However, today, it was estimated that the repairs would be completed.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. Missing one opportunity could make victory disappear, and it was even possible to regret it later.

So, not wanting to regret it, Rau Le Creuset, after receiving intelligence from the Eighth Fleet, directly had the Garmur, with its three Gundams and three Ginns, pursue the Archangel. They, meanwhile, repaired their hull and mobile suits at the PLANT space station.

And the four mobile suits that had already entered battle, one black mobile suit was stealthily approaching the Archangel. Mikazuki glanced sideways. Barbatos rushed towards that mobile suit. Nicol from Blitz (Lightning Strike) saw Barbatos charging with great momentum. His gaze narrowed for a moment.

"So this is the wolf... the monster that defeated Athrun and the team leader? Alright, let me have a go at it." The Garmur captain, seeing the three Gundams had successfully engaged enemy mobile suits, immediately gave an order:

"Ginn Team, sortie! Also, all of Garmur's weapons, aim at Long Legs. While the enemy MS is distracted, sink Long Legs." In the Archangel's bridge, Murrue naturally noticed that Garmur's weapons were already aimed at her. "Evade!"

After evading Garmur's main cannon, the Archangel's magnetic rail cannons aimed at the rear, firing two shots. Garmur was too late to evade.

However, fortunately, Garmur's external armor was slightly stronger than an MS. Garmur, having been hit by two shells, besides its damaged armor, had a great aversion to the Archangel.

The magnetic rail cannon's power was slightly weaker than the main cannon, but this versatile battleship armor was definitely not as good as the Archangel's new armor. It was estimated that one hit from the main cannon would be enough to cause damage.

From behind the Garmur, which was continuously attacking the Archangel, three Ginns were launching cables. Garmur's huge hull perfectly concealed the Ginns' figures, giving full speed chase to the Archangel ahead.

The objective was simple: after approaching the Archangel, Garmur, plus the three Ginns, would focus fire on the Archangel. Even if its hull armor was of high quality, it couldn't withstand fortress-level weapons. The Archangel's radar, unable to detect Ginns due to Garmur's interference, was unaware of their true intentions.

On the other side, Mikazuki kept shining his light beam towards his Blitz, continuously harassing him from long range. He wasn't too far from the Archangel.

He already knew about the three Ginns behind Garmur, just waiting for them to get closer. But this black guy in front of him was a bit annoying. He could actually turn invisible just like Barbatos.

"Mikazuki, that is Blitz Gundam. It is equipped with the so-called Mirage Colloid system, which can make the mobile suit transparent for a certain period of time and undetectable by eyes and radar. During its transparent state, its PS armor will fail, meaning live ammunition can directly damage that mobile suit."

"Is that so? Barbatos's invisibility, huh?" "Of course, Barbatos's invisibility system is perfect, without any usage restrictions, and can shield all radar detection." Mikazuki's lips curved.

"Then, I'll turn invisible too." Nicol on Blitz, seeing that the target wasn't leaving the Archangel with him, was a little annoyed.

It seemed the other party wasn't taking him seriously. Looking at Garmur approaching, this wolf, who had been staying near the Archangel, would definitely cause problems for the battle. What should he do...?

Just as he was thinking about what to do, a scene that shocked him appeared. He saw the wolf's figure inexplicably disappear, disappearing very quickly. There was no slightest warning signal, and even his detection radar completely lost him.

"Disappeared?? No, is it the Mirage Colloid system? What a joke, isn't this system exclusive to Blitz? Why would the wolf's body be equipped with it?" Nicol's face was full of disbelief.

According to the data and the information obtained about the five Gundams, the Mirage Colloid system was only equipped on Blitz. However, he then thought that ZAFT had not received any information about this wolf unit. "Hmph, it seems as the captain said, this mobile suit is a monster."

Nicol quickly activated the Mirage Colloid as well. However, just as his mobile suit disappeared, a cannonball suddenly appeared behind him. Boom.

The cannonball accurately struck Blitz's disappearing left leg. Nicol's face changed drastically. He quickly turned around and fired several shots into the vacuum of space, but hit nothing.

"When did he get behind me? He's too fast!" Nicol knew well that he had fallen into a passive state. Barbatos's high mobility, as Rau Le Creuset had emphasized repeatedly, was both an advantage and a disadvantage:

it loved close combat. And now, there was an additional ability that even Rau Le Creuset found baffling. How was he supposed to fight now, completely unaware of his opponent's location?
