The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

Hearing that Enterprise even knew about such things, Adonis paused for a moment, then took out his Hyperion Orange phone from his pocket, dialed Tidus using the shortcut key "250," and handed the phone to Enterprise as he had done with the diary he had given to the newly formed deep-sea carrier, saying:

“If you care so much about your adopted daughter, I think you should let her know you're safe now.”

"This isn't an Orange phone? What is it?" Enterprise noticed that the phone in its hand was different from the Orange phones produced by Orange Company after it got the Orange phone, but its doubts were immediately interrupted by the voice of Tidu coming from the Orange phone.

Arden remained quiet as the Enterprise and his daughter Fort talked on the phone, not paying much attention to the fact that the remaining time to save the world was dwindling.

...Even if the world really does change drastically because it becomes a twin planet, Adun can guarantee that his Naval Base No. 666 will be fine.

In this respect, Adun is far superior to Hyperion; stabilizing the earth's crust is an essential capability for a Protoss Ark.

The Enterprise, having finally finished talking to her daughter, looked a little bewildered. This ship, practically a half-starship girl in Adun's arsenal, tossed the phone back to Adun and said:

"She... wants to talk to you."

“Hello…” Ardon took the phone and put it to his ear.

"Don't call me!! You lied to me about such a big incident, saying nothing was wrong! How can you do this to the trust I placed in you?! I've made up my mind! From now on, South Dakota will be my secretary ship!!" Tidu's voice rang out from the phone.

“Um…” Only after Tidu finished complaining did Ardon put the phone he had put aside the moment Tidu opened her mouth back to his ear and say, “If I remember correctly, Tidu, you can’t sign a contract with South Dakota.”

"Is being an honorary secretary ship not enough?! I'm the admiral, I make the decisions!! In short, you're fired! Do you hear me?!" Seeing the same sight of the metal planet hanging upside down in the sky terrified Tidu, especially after learning from her adoptive mother, Enterprise, that this was related to Adun, she became even more panicked.

"Alright, your order." Knowing how his admiral was feeling, Ayton didn't argue.

Seemingly sensing that Adon remained calm, Tidu on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before suddenly asking, "Adon, can you handle this?"

“It’s a bit difficult, but no problem,” Adun said, glancing at the planets that had already crossed most of the space gates in the sky.

"Then...can I order you...to resolve this matter?" Tidu's voice trailed off.

“O'lok-natal,” Adun calmly responded in Protoss with a command to obey.

"What did you say?" Unfortunately, Ti couldn't understand Celestial Language.

Then Adon spent a few more seconds explaining what he had just said.

"Ugh, I hate foreign languages! Ardon, you're not allowed to use foreign languages ​​in front of me anymore!!" Even top students aren't fluent in everything.

"Is this also an order?" Adun smiled slightly and glanced at Enterprise, making Enterprise feel a little uneasy under his gaze.

"..." Tidu fell silent again on the other end of the phone because of Adon's words. After a while, Tidu finally spoke up and said, "Then let's add one more order: be sure to pay attention to safety and protect yourself."

"obey"

Hmm, I've reached 100 monthly votes. Following the usual practice of most authors, I should add an extra chapter today, so... there should be an extra chapter later.

I'll read it if there are extra chapters; the Central Academy arc is finally almost over.

☆, Chapter 423 Ardon is about to make a big move (Bonus chapter for 100 monthly votes)

"What are you looking at?" The ruler of the Central Academy, Enterprise, whose momentum remained undiminished even after the Retribution ship capsized in the ditch, looked at Adun, who was still looking up at the sky, with some curiosity. She wondered why this ship girl who had saved her was staring at that metallic planet that would surely bring natural disaster if the teleportation was completed.

“I’m looking at the stars,” Adun blurted out, sounding quite poetic.

"Will becoming a starship girl make you like looking at stars?" Enterprise asked in a somewhat subtle tone.

“I am a starship myself, unlike you,” Adun said to Enterprise, still gazing at the stars. “However, I admire your efforts.”

Adun was quite aware of the changes that had occurred on the Enterprise.

Transform yourself from a primitive and outdated sea warship into an interstellar spaceship capable of initial flight within a star system.

Although the modification was incomplete, it was riddled with flaws in the eyes of Adun and even the Hyperion, and could only be described as a spaceship rather than a warship.

But this at least proves that the Enterprise was not like the Calypses, who fell into isolation after expelling the Nerazin Protoss and almost lost the last vestige of their ancestors' glory.

Adon saw a subtle vitality in this ship girl who had lived for more than half her life.

"...Hehe, I just wanted to try some changes. Both she and I are trying to avoid that curse in our own ways." Enterprise was stunned when it heard Adun say the word "admiration," but quickly realized what Adun meant and shook its head.

"...A curse that prevents you from leaving the Earth-Moon system?" Adon paused for a moment, guessing what the other person meant by the curse.

"You actually knew that? Looks like that guy Tigger is still a blabbermouth." Enterprise said, glancing at the moon, which was much smaller than the metallic planet in the sky.

"You concealed this information from them?" The "you" that Adun was referring to were naturally Enterprise, North Carolina, Akagi, and the other original ship girls, while "they" were the ordinary ship girls, ordinary admirals, and ordinary civilians.

"You don't think we're those kinds of politicians, do you? We're ship girls, okay? These things are naturally mentioned in history textbooks," Enterprise retorted, immediately understanding what Adun was talking about.

“It doesn’t seem like it…” A drop of water floated in Ardon’s hand as he spoke.

Knowing what the water droplets in Adun's hand were, Enterprise's expression stiffened as she said, "This is another path..."

"Another one?" Adon asked, somewhat curious.

“If you were asking me in the Governor’s name, I would naturally answer, but please allow me to keep this a secret for now.” It was clear that Enterprise did not want to answer Adun’s question.

“Oh…” Ardon lowered his head and stared intently at Enterprise before saying, “Aren’t you going to do anything about them?”

While Adun and Enterprise were conversing, the steel wreckage that made up the Central Institute, after a night of artillery fire and self-destruction, finally disintegrated under the influence of the trace gravitational waves emitted by the metal planet in the sky that was about to complete its transmission.

Although they had lost contact with their ship equipment, the ship girls, who could at least float on the water, immediately transformed into disaster relief soldiers.

"We are the darlings of the ocean, we don't need to care about such trivial matters..." Enterprise continued, unconcerned, and asked Adun, "But are you just going to do nothing and let this planet float overhead, waiting for it to destroy everything?"

“If the teleportation is indeed completed, it will likely cause some changes in the climate and tectonic plates… well, I’m not kidding. I will naturally obey my admiral’s orders,” Adun said with a smile.

"So, do you need my help?" Although it didn't know what method Adun would use to deal with this metal planet, Enterprise didn't want to just stand by and watch.

“Of course, I need your help…” Ardon nodded and suddenly said, “Or rather, I need your help?”

"Us? Do we need Akagi and Tizi to do anything?" Because the planet was so large, Enterprise subconsciously thought that when Adun said "you", she meant the first-generation ship girls who were true leaders.

"Not just you, but everyone else, if they're willing to do their part to save their home." Adun looked back at the planet in the sky, seeing that it was less than one percent still within the portal, and took a deep breath, muttering to himself:

"At that moment, I actually hoped that there would be an innate hostility."

If there were an inherent hostility, then Adun wouldn't have needed to reveal such a powerful trump card to deal with what the Retribution summoned.

"All of us? What do you want to do?" Enterprise knew that the inherent hostility in Adun's words was a unique kind of inherent hostility among special ship girls, but even if she had questions, she would have to wait until this matter was resolved before asking.

"I need you to do something that can only be accomplished by working together." As Adun explained, she lowered her head, looking at the Central Academy, which was already crumbling from its foundations and flooded with seawater, and uttered words that resonated simultaneously in the ears of all the ship girl admirals and ordinary people:

Do you want to protect your world? Are you willing to give everything for it?

These words also reached Enterprise's ears, and the volume of the sound Enterprise heard was no louder than the sound heard by the ship girl who was more than ten nautical miles away and was rushing to the Central Academy at full speed.

"What are you trying to do?" Everything Adun said touched some of Enterprise's memories. Not long ago, she watched helplessly as an admiral she once thought had a chance to become the governor of the Pacific gave everything to her ship girl.

Ardon did not answer Enterprise's question; she simply flew silently in the sky, her eyes closed, as if waiting for an answer.

"Holy crap, what are you doing, Adun?!" Although Adun deliberately avoided mentioning the Hyperion, such a large-scale psionic message transmission was easily intercepted by the Hyperion, and the human warcruiser's face immediately turned to horror.

Although Hyperion didn't know what Adon was going to do, he knew from the fact that Adon needed help and that it was being broadcast across the entire channel that Adon's task was definitely not insignificant.

"Of course I'm willing to do anything the Admiral asks. Besides, even if it's not the Admiral's order, I'd still be willing to protect my world!" Among all the ship girls who heard Admiral's words, Kaga, the first to stand up and speak out, was the one under Admiral's command.

Then, all the ship girls, whether they were still under the influence of that liquid and unable to summon their ship equipment, or those who had just arrived from other areas as reserve support, started chatting.

“Is there anything to consider?” Raffi, who was seriously injured, said to Northampton beside him.

“Of course, there’s no need to consider it, not even anything,” Northampton said with her eyes closed. Although the liquid had affected her, it was nothing compared to the damage to her body.

Just as these two American ship girls said, after a brief exchange, the ship girls unanimously agreed with Adun's words, even though most of them did not know Adun.

Those admirals who looked even more miserable than many of the ship girls were not to be outdone.

"Isn't that everything? If I can contribute to saving the world, I can brag about it for ten years!"

"If those girls are so decisive, how can I hesitate?"

"Z16, this is my party dues from last year. Please remember to pay it for me when you have time."

"Damn it, it's just a cricket robot! I'm not afraid of anyone! Men, bring out my Italian cannon and blow it to smithereens!"

Even those ordinary people who neither inherited the power of the ship girls nor awakened the admiral's ability, and who could only wait for the ship girls to rescue them in the face of such a disaster, only hesitated for a moment before realizing that it was no big deal to give everything to save the world.

Finally, even the two deep-sea ship girls who were secretly hiding in the crater of the former military police headquarters said that such an honor should not be taken by all the ship girls.

"Damn it, the Pacific Ocean, oh no, half of this world is the deep sea!"

"Wo!!" (That's right!)

Even as he flew through the air, Adun, whose visions were still flashing before his eyes, looked up at the Enterprise and said with a smile, "Even though I have seen countless civilizations, this is the first time I have ever seen... such a... 'great' civilization."

Afterwards, amidst Enterprise's somewhat bewildered gaze, Adun spread her arms out like the Nascent Soul had done earlier, and a stream of blue light formed on Adun's body, creating a ship rigging she hadn't worn in a long time.

At the same time, these shipboard systems all emitted a dazzling but not blinding light.

Within this beam of light, Adun's voice once again rang in everyone's ears:

"Then, trust each other, unite our will, and embrace Kara's glory!"

☆, Chapter 424: Another Praise

Although Adun is a UO-class ship girl, and even without unlocking a power that is inherently hostile to Omega, Adun's strength is enough to crush the leader-class ship girls of this world.

However, without the power unlocked by that innate hostility, Adun, like the Hyperion, cannot summon its own ship.

Or rather, it can be summoned, but each summoned item consumes a large amount of resources.

According to the world's rules on whether or not a ship can be summoned to classify ship girls, compared to the Hyperion, which is not even close to being a hero-level ship girl, Adun is probably the ship girl that Nelson mentioned, who is just one step away from being a hero-level ship girl.

Although this final push may not exist for Adun, or it may take a long time before he can get past it.

This kind of thing doesn't usually have much of an impact, but it can become a bit troublesome when you need to do something that requires the ship's hull to complete.

While the human form of the ship girl combines the advantages of flexibility, convenience, and a small target area, it is inferior to her complete original body in one aspect.

That is the limit of output, especially the limit of firepower output.

Some ship girls might be able to make their normal human form's sea travel speed exceed their body's speed, but it's basically impossible for their human form's firepower to surpass their body's firepower.

Even if you keep adding gun barrels to the ship's equipment in human form, it won't make a difference, because the human form and the ship's hull form of the ship girl are essentially the same thing.

With the increased firepower in human form, the ship's firepower will also increase accordingly, and the increase will be even greater than that in human form.

Adun's human form follows the same principle. However, when Adun needs to take action, he doesn't even need to summon his own human form's ship equipment. He can solve all his problems with his two color-changing psionic light blades that can be used as flashlights.
