Chapter 6: Gundam G – Farewell, Devil Gundam
"If possible, leave behind a clone with its current strength to train Domon.
If Domon meets the requirements, then the Devil Gundam can explain the whole situation to him and work with him to purify the world.
I'm just worried that the changes caused by my 'butterfly effect' might prevent Domon from reaching the strength he was originally meant to have.
If that happens, then we'll let the complete Devil Gundam subdue the entire world and purify Earth.
In the end, all the nations will work together to build a gigantic martial arts tournament satellite city in space, with the entire arena being the body of the Devil Gundam.
We'll hold all Gundam battles there, so the Earth won't be polluted anymore.
Any damaged mobile suits beyond repair during matches will be assimilated and absorbed to repair the arena, allowing the Devil Gundam to continue evolving.
And even if someone invents a stronger mobile suit to break the rules, the Devil Gundam can rely on its massive form and geographical advantage to absorb it and grow stronger.
It will become a Damocles' sword suspended above the world, making sure that those corrupted by power won't dare act recklessly.
Of course, it can't be too absolute—otherwise, it would just become humanity's destroyer, and that wouldn't do."
Master Asia said excitedly, "Your idea is good—a very good method.
In fact, the Devil Gundam never intended to wipe out all of humanity. It only wanted people to pay a heavy price and reflect on everything they have now; otherwise, it wouldn't have worked with me in the first place.
Our goals are the same. Later, I'll take you to meet the Devil Gundam's true body. Tell it what you just told me, and together, we'll create a bright future. Hahaha…"
Hearing Master Asia's words, Tolle finally felt the weight in his heart lift.
Oh yeah! I bet right—I've survived! And now I have a chance to learn how to dismantle a Gundam barehanded! That's insanely cool, isn't it?
I have to master Master Asia's style. In the future, I can even create my own 'Infinite Dimensional Style' or something.
Even without a mobile suit, I'd still be scary. Just walk up to an opponent, grin, and say, 'Opening move, Master Asia Style—consider this a warning.' Tell me, isn't that terrifying? Just imagining it is thrilling.
Thinking about such a future, Tolle couldn't help but burst into wild laughter inside.
Tolle Koenig, still struggling a bit to pilot the Enhanced GINN, followed Master Asia once again to the Devil Gundam's hiding place.
Last time, he'd been swallowed by the Gundam's head.
Just thinking about it was scary. If not for the nano-suit, he'd have been dead meat.
Still, it was a blessing in disguise—his body was strengthened, his nano-suit was upgraded, and he even became Master Asia's disciple.
He'd never have dreamed of something like this. It felt as if everything had been arranged by fate itself.
Could this be the legendary "early-stage transmigration benefits"? Whether you become strong later depends entirely on your starting point.
When Master Asia arrived before the Devil Gundam, he relayed to it everything Tolle had said.
The Devil Gundam showed interest in the plan and also learned that Kyoji Kasshu had already used the German Gundam Spiegel pilot to separate consciousness from body. Since they were late, they'd likely have to move on to Plan B.
Tolle had Nami remove all components belonging to her from the Enhanced GINN and offered the still-new mobile suit as a gift to the Devil Gundam.
The Devil Gundam absorbed it and evolved further—the size of individual DG cells became smaller, and it gained the ability to heal, repair, and even rejuvenate living beings.
These abilities could be used as rewards in future dueling tournaments—after all, what aging high-ranking official or wealthy elite could resist the temptation of youth and extended life? Living decades longer would be more than enough incentive.
A whip in one hand and candy in the other—only with both rewards and deterrents could the Devil Gundam's rule remain stable and long-lasting.
To reciprocate, the Devil Gundam decided to gift Tolle a mobile suit. Tolle thought for a long while, but aside from the protagonist team, most Gundams in G Gundam had odd designs, and he couldn't decide.
In the end, following Master Asia's suggestion, he went with a Gundam like the Master Gundam. The appearance could be customized later—after all, he had Nami to handle it.

Looking at the Master Gundam, Tolle said, "Damn, that's a massive upgrade—swapping the Enhanced GINN for a Master Gundam! Totally worth it.
But with my piloting skills, I probably can't even bring out 20% of its potential. I'll need to master Master Asia's style before I can use any of those special moves. So this will have to wait.
Nami, fully assimilate and take control of the Master Gundam. When we get back, store it in the hangar—it'll just be target practice for others if I take it out now.
Even if I could bring out over 60% of its power, that's more of a Destiny-era thing. Early SEED era? Forget it. With my skills, it'd be like wielding a lawnmower that can't mow grass—zero fun."
"Understood, Master," Nami replied.
"When we get back, see if we can secretly assimilate a GINN. Remember when Miguel first encountered the Strike Gundam? He tried to self-destruct in the end.
We could assimilate it right before detonation, then cancel the self-destruct once he's left the cockpit, claiming it's a system malfunction.
After boarding the Archangel, we propose recovering it, then find an opportunity to suggest I become its pilot. Perfect plan, right? Hahaha…"
After that, Tolle began training in martial arts under Master Asia.
After more than two months of effort, he mastered all of Master Asia's techniques.
Master Asia was astonished—he hadn't seen such martial arts talent at first glance.
Tolle later casually asked the system whether he had some rare, once-in-a-million special physique.
The system explained that when Nami repaired Master Asia, she had read and copied his body functions and indicators.
While Tolle was training, she enhanced his body accordingly. Otherwise, Tolle wouldn't have been able to learn even the basics—in the G Gundam world, he would've been the ultimate martial arts dud.
