The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

However, the impact damage from the laws of physics almost prevented the Laffey from skipping the repair channel and going straight to sea.

Okay, actually she wasn't the most severely damaged. The most severely damaged ally was the alien ship girl Hyperion—piloted by the Odin MK2 special model war robot Geppetto.

As the main coordinate point of "bomb me", the short and chubby robot, which had just attracted enough attention from the robots by going on a rampage, was bombarded hundreds of times. Even with the special alloy shell of the Terren race, it was in such a sorry state that the ship could not bear to look at it.

"Thud..." The robot's cockpit was kicked open from the inside, and the Hyperion, once again covered in smoke, crawled out of the deformed cockpit. After glancing at the mess around it, it kicked off a mechanical part hanging next to its cockpit and said:

"That's pretty impressive. Looks like we'll need to make the MK3 thicker..."

Just as Hyperion was commenting on Akagi's abilities and how to learn from the experience to develop the next generation of short, stout robots, some of the robots who were lucky enough to survive the bombing put the remains of their comrades on their bodies and stood up again.

"It seems that as long as the origin hasn't been completely annihilated, your bodies are merely external objects." Hyperion smiled slightly and said to the cyborgs who still hadn't given up and were still stumbling up the wreckage of Geborg.

"But we're all robots, so what you can do... my Gaeboga can do too."

With that, Hyperion turned around and went into the cockpit. After fiddling with it for a while, Hyperion came out with a keyboard that only had three keys.

"Come on, come closer, take a look at the gorgeous watch I've prepared for you... Holy crap, it's aimed right at your face!" Hyperion, in his boasting mode, almost got hit on the head by a spiked gun bullet.

Summoning its ship equipment, the Hyperion, taking advantage of its spaceship girl flight ability, flew into the air, dodging the energy beams fired by the robots like playing a bullet hell game, while waiting for the robots to accumulate enough numbers.

Once the number of bullets was sufficient... or rather, when Hyperion felt that the opponent's bullet hell had reached L-level difficulty, Hyperion pressed the Q key on the keyboard and then flew far, far away with a "whoosh".

"boom"

Odin MK2 special model war robot Geboga came to the end of its short but glorious life, dragging thousands of robots down with it.

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, Hyperion, covered in smoke, landed next to Akagi and Kitazawa, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "How about that? Pretty IMBA, right?"

Seeing the Hyperion, which was still somewhat gruesome from the explosion despite its rapid advance, the two leader-class ship girls rolled their eyes in unison.

“Okay, I almost blew myself up when I used this trick before,” Hyperion said, scratching the back of his head, knowing he wasn’t very convincing in his current state.

"...You actually practiced that?" The same thought flashed through Akagi's and Kitazawa's minds at the same time.

Hyperion did practice, but only in a virtual world.

And it wasn't just that he was almost killed by the bomb; he was actually killed by it...

Otherwise, why would she be so adept at self-disclosure now?

Chapter 418 Hehe

Ever since the cockpit of the Thor War Robot of the Terren Empire was secretly shared on social media by some idle pilots, everyone has come to understand why even the most elite soldiers tend to become mentally challenged after piloting the Thor.

Everyone was wondering how the pilots managed to move the Thor war robots in a cockpit with only a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor.

Even the most clueless pilots and designers of Thor remained tight-lipped about these questions, acting as if saying, "It cannot be said, it cannot be said."

A reporter once sneaked into the Empire's Thor mech battalion hoping to make a big scoop, but after being discovered, the Thor pilots shouted, "The speed of the Zerglings! The power of the Thunder Beasts! The eyes of the Prophet!" They ordered the reporter to be hung up and beaten until he lost his memory.

So how Thor's pilot managed to get this series of short, stout figures moving remains a secret to this day.

Even Adun, who has extensive experience in cooperating with humans and, cough cough, has extensive experience in carrying low-level characters with high-level characters, found it somewhat strange.

Every time Adun thought of asking Hyperion, Hyperion would pretend he hadn't heard anything and look down at his toes.

If the average combat strength of the human race could reach half the level required to protect this secret, there wouldn't be hundreds of millions of deaths every now and then.

Hyperion installed a self-destruct device inside the body of its prototype Thor mech, the Odin MK2 Special Model Gaebogar, and its unusually decisive choice to self-destruct when necessary might also be partly due to this device.

It's worth noting that Hyperion borrowed money from Adun at exorbitant interest rates to manufacture this MK2 special model Gaborga war droid.

Moreover, it was a loan with a 30% interest rate, and Hyperion was prepared to repay it with her body. Anyway, she was sure that Adun wouldn't sell her. Being a slave ship or something wouldn't be a bad experience.

In any case, Hyperion cannot allow the secret of how the pilots of the Thor series Jaegers operate them to be exposed in its hands.

Even if this is an alien world without the three races of the Koprulu Sector.

In particular, one must not reveal how one made the clumsy, slow, and short war robot run.

This is the glory that the Imperial Flagship must protect!

As Hyperion piloted her high-interest mech through the battleground of ship girls and robots, the rhythmic vibrations of thousands of tons of metal hitting the ground were transmitted deep underground.

Sensing the slight tremor of the wall, the Retribution spoke to Adun:

"Is this... your trump card?"

"A trump card?" Adun smiled slightly upon hearing what Retribution said. "If Hyperion knew what you thought, you might become friends."

As a Terran warship, the Hyperion was regarded by other ship girls as the trump card of the Protoss Ark, Adun.

Even knowing that this was caused by the ignorance of the Nascent Soul, Hyperion would still be very happy.

“Really? Interesting, very interesting,” said Retribution, who immediately understood what Adon had said.

“Interesting? It is indeed interesting. Although I didn’t really want to interfere with what you were doing, given the relationship between that ship… the Enterprise and my admiral.” Ardon recalled for a moment before remembering the name of Tidu’s foster mother.

Even though the other party was the ruler of the Central Academy and the nominal leader of the Pacific Theater, Adun didn't take it too seriously.

"Oh? So, a ship girl like you would actually recognize the humans of this world as your masters? How laughable." While exchanging barbs, Retribution and Adun remained completely tense.

Instead, Adun remained calm and composed, saying, "As a warship, shouldn't it always be loyal to its commander? Could it be that you..."

As he finished speaking, Adon raised an eyebrow at the Retribution, the meaning of his words self-evident.

"Hahaha, do you think I'm going to pledge allegiance to her? To this lowly, ignorant, cowardly, foolish... cricket-human who wants to do things to satisfy his pathetic desires?"

Retribution knew that Adun was referring to her relationship with Chiaki, to which she simply responded with a mocking laugh:

"No matter when, no matter where, no matter what place, I, Retribution, have always been loyal only to the supreme leader."

Ardon frowned at the somewhat neurotic words of the Retribution, and this distorted loyalty stirred a strange feeling in his heart.

Just as Adun was wondering why he had that feeling, the Retribution suddenly stopped its hysterical laughter and said in a surprisingly calm tone:

"However, the power that made me who I am today is quite capable. It took me a long time to resolve this problem."

The Retribution, spouting nonsensical words, fixed its gaze on Chiaki, who was holding a cylindrical container and showed absolutely no signs of life.

"Deception?" Adun asked, looking at the still-beating human heart in the container in Qianqiu's arms.

"Deception? Heh..." Retribution said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

“I see…” After analyzing and summarizing the information he already knew, Adon guessed what the ship girl in front of him had done to break free from the contract between herself and the admiral who summoned her, which was imposed by the power of the world.

"I see? You really think you understand?" Retribution mocked Adun again.

"At least I feel that I understand, and that's enough." Adun suddenly smiled unconsciously at the various provocations and taunts from the Retribution.

"I really hope you can still laugh like this in a little while..." Before Retribution could finish speaking, it suddenly looked up in another direction.

Adon, who had no intention of taking action and no need to do so, also looked in that direction. The gazes of the two starship girls seemed to penetrate the metal partition of the underground base and see the scene outside.

This was exactly when Akagi fully drew her longbow and uttered the first word "Tiger".

As Akagi's explosive attack caused the underground base to shake slightly, Adun and Retribution said almost in unison, "Interesting..."

"As expected of this world, as expected of this Earth, no matter who the current ruler is, they always manage to bring me some unexpected surprises."

Noticing that Adonis's perception was not only no worse than hers, but even a notch higher, Retribution kept its eyes fixed on Adonis as it spoke.

"Don't be so nervous if I really want to finish this quickly."

Ardon, maintaining his signature smile, continued, "You never even had a chance to say those things."

☆, Chapter 419 When in doubt, pull the strings

Ardon's words, utterly devoid of any deliberate contempt, naturally aroused the attention of Retribution. To describe Retribution's current feeling in a very colloquial way, it was utterly intolerable.

Just as the Retribution was about to teach the starship girl in front of it a lesson, who completely overwhelmed it in size, height, and bust, the Hyperion on the ground pressed the self-destruct button Q.

Even the secret base, nearly a hundred meters below the surface, shook violently from the explosion.

Fortunately, both Adun and Retribution maintained their hovering state and did not shake along with it.

It seems that the main body of the ship girls, who are fighting in outer space, all like this floating style.

However, Chiaki, sitting in a wheelchair between two starship girls facing each other, was not so lucky. The container she was holding fell to the ground while shaking, and after circling around the feet of the Retribution ship, it came to Adun's side.

The container holding Admiral Yin Wu's heart came to an abrupt stop less than half a meter from Yaton, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

Then, as if picked up from the ground by an invisible arm, it floated into the air.

When he saw a streak of dark red liquid suddenly appear on the container, Retribution's pupils contracted slightly.

When the Retribution realized that Adun was not alone, Adun sighed softly and clapped his hands in the air.

Because what she had exchanged everything for had disappeared from her hands, Qianqiu's eyes, which had seemed lifeless, flickered and lit up with a red mechanical light, as if an electrical circuit had been rewired.

The Pacific Theater military police general stiffly raised his head like a corpse rising from its grave, looked at Adun, and finally focused his eyes on the container floating in mid-air.

"Give it back to me, this is mine..." Qianqiu's voice was so hoarse that it didn't sound like something a human could produce.

Seeing Qianqiu's expression, Yadun shook his head without responding, only taking a step back.

As Adon moved, a figure dressed in red and black, holding a container in the same posture as Chiaki just now, pierced through the veil of invisibility and appeared in front of Chiaki.

With two dark red tear tracks on her face, the semi-deep-sea Essex said to Chiaki in a suppressed tone, "You are not worthy."

"Abyss... bring me your filthy hands!" Chiaki stood up from her wheelchair and swayed as she walked toward Essex. It seemed that even though her whole body had been transformed into another species, Chiaki still recognized that Essex looked exactly like an Abyss ship girl.

Just as Qianqiu rushed to Essex's side, trying to take back the container, the container containing Yin Wu's heart turned into a burning fragment in Essex's hand.

Chiaki stopped walking and her expression went blank for a moment, as if she was trying to accept the scene before her.

"No!!!" Chiaki shouted loudly, as metal components pierced her skin and replaced her limbs, turning her into a mechanical monster that resembled both a spider and a crab in the blink of an eye.

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! Mahan! Wasps! Quincy! London! Kill them!! Tear them apart! Destroy them!"

The roaring Thousand Autumns called out those names that had long since sunk, wielding its body which had transformed into claws and needles, and attacked Essex.

"Clang..." A crisp sound.

A longsword radiating crimson flames blocked Chiaki, who had fallen into madness.

Seeing that Essex had finally drawn her weapon, Adun repeated what he had told her earlier:
