Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: The True Enemy, the Ideals of 'Celestial Being'

Seizing the opportunity to defend Coordinators, Luther exposed the severe fertility crisis faced by Coordinators that had been concealed by the Plant government.

While this might fuel Blue Cosmos' claims that "Coordinators are monsters that should not exist," it also shattered the perfect halo surrounding Coordinators, giving Naturals—or ordinary people—a chance to correctly understand "Coordinators" once again.

For most humans on Earth, who were already facing practical difficulties due to the April Fools' Crisis, Luther's explanation might not immediately change their views.

However, given time and coupled with shifts in public opinion brought about by changes in the balance of power, Luther's explanation would likely be accepted by more people. At the same time, it would redirect hatred, along with the sense of betrayal, toward the true enemy.

In any case, a new "Seed" had been sown. What followed would require time and relentless effort, much like the self-proclaimed "Celestial Being"—the Luther Fleet.

After defending "Coordinators" primarily for the benefit of "Naturals," Luther's statements toward Plant leaned more explicitly toward "recognizing the true enemy."

"I firmly believe there has never been a distinction between 'Coordinators' and 'Naturals'!

Are the naturally born children of Coordinator parents considered Coordinators?

Are the children born to one Coordinator parent considered Coordinators?

For those who profit from war and persecute minority groups to divert attention, if the space-dwelling people labeled 'Coordinators' today kneel and surrender all the wealth they produce to them...

Then tomorrow, a 'Green Earth' might emerge, vowing to eliminate another form of 'unnaturalness,' and this new 'unnaturalness' might exist among us!

Such 'stories' have repeated throughout history over the past centuries and will not end with the existence or disappearance of so-called 'Coordinators.' It is time to recognize and put an end to the true beneficiaries behind the scenes!

Yes! The true enemies that must be eliminated are the 'Merchants of Death' hidden behind the Earth Alliance, especially the Atlantic Federation that dominates it, with the Military-Industrial Complex at their core!

Only by eliminating them and restarting space development, allowing humanity to gain greater benefits in outer space and restoring Earth's overcrowded ecosystem, can we truly achieve 'For a Blue and Natural Universe'!"

With the discussion reaching this point, it was only natural that the true ideals endorsed and steadfastly pursued by "Celestial Being"—that is, Luther and the Luther Fleet—would come to light.

"My father, Gihren Zabi, made a prophecy decades ago:

'By entering and adapting to the harsh environment of space, humanity will evolve further biologically and sociologically, becoming Newtypes."

"All of humanity should migrate into space. This will bring about a transformation for the human species, overcoming war and environmental pollution to establish a higher level of civilization."

You may have never heard of this idea, or perhaps you think it's nothing but a pipe dream.

However, we of 'Celestial Being' have truly mastered the power of the 'Newtype' prophesied by our father, Daiken, and have sworn to use this new power to eliminate the Military-Industrial Complex 'Logos'—the masterminds behind the scenes—along with their hounds 'Blue Cosmos,' their lackeys, and those with ulterior motives. Among them is Rau Le Creuset of Plant's military organization, ZAFT!

Shockingly, his true identity is actually a clone of Al Da Flaga, the father of Earth Alliance combat hero Mu La Flaga.

Dissatisfied that his son Mu La Flaga did not inherit his business acumen, Al Da Flaga commissioned the famous Dr. Yurin Hibiki to create a clone for himself.

But Al's excessive expectations and strict upbringing led to negative outcomes, and he ultimately died in a fire set by Creuset.

Creuset, with his tragic childhood, later learned in Plant the reason for his existence: rapid aging caused by chromosomal defects as a clone.

Clearly, both Mu La Flaga, nicknamed the 'Hawk of Endymion,' and Rau Le Creuset have displayed combat talent as Naturals that rivals or even surpasses that of Coordinators. Creuset has even managed to conceal his identity to this day, rising to become a White Uniform in ZAFT as a defective Natural clone—utterly laughable.

From this perspective, there are likely less capable Coordinators living on Earth as Naturals. Perhaps even Muruta Azrael, the leader of 'Blue Cosmos' and a member of 'Logos,' is one such case. His own inadequate adjustments might be the very reason for his extreme hatred of successful Coordinators.

As for Rau Le Creuset, given his tragic life experiences and limited remaining lifespan, it's understandable that he might attempt to intensify and prolong the war, dragging humanity down with him. But as an ordinary person, I absolutely cannot accept this!"

In Luther's words—nine parts truth, one part falsehood—he not only declared Celestial Being's determination to eliminate 'Logos,' 'Blue Cosmos,' and Rau Le Creuset personally as the true culprits of the war, but also revealed far too many 'things he shouldn't know.' However, this was, in fact, part of Luther's plan.

"By now, you probably have a question: why are we of 'Celestial Being' able to know so many top-secret pieces of information?

I will tell you here: the reason we are convinced of Father Daiken's prophecy and have formed the private armed organization 'Celestial Being' is because I myself, along with many lovers, friends, and colleagues within 'Celestial Being,' are precisely the 'Newtypes' prophesied by our father.

And the greatest characteristic of a 'Newtype' is intuition beyond that of ordinary people, even intermittent 'Seeing Time.'

Yes, just as you might be thinking, we possess a certain degree of prophetic ability."

This ability is sufficient for us to foresee the collapse of Heliopolis, yet not clear enough to prevent this tragedy in advance.

It is precisely because of this ability as evidence that we, 'Celestial Being,' are convinced: the future foretold by our father, where humanity joins hands to advance into space, will surely come to pass; we, 'Celestial Being,' will also spare no effort to make this future arrive as soon as possible!

People of the world who yearn for peace and a new future, please lend us your strength!

As for 'Logos,' 'Blue Cosmos,' and Rau Le Creuset, we advise you to lay down your weapons and cease your actions that fuel war now. Otherwise, when we, 'Celestial Being,' deliver punishment, you will surely pay the price!
