The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

Finally understanding the source of his inner turmoil, Adon slowly pushed the Japanese sword back, introducing himself in a voice so cold it could freeze the air:

"One of the Protoss's three Doom Arks, the support and supply mothership, the Spear of Adun."

Upon hearing Adun's self-introduction, the ship girl, who hadn't bothered with any explanation, launched into her own self-introduction in a voice that sounded almost synthesized:

"The first ship of the Rising Sun Empire's multi-purpose war fortress, support firepower platform, Omega Yuriko."

Chapter 77 A Special Innate Enemy

"What on earth happened? Can anyone answer this?" Admiral Tidu, who had been dragged out of the battle zone between the two ship girls by Wo-chan's tentacles, shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, no one could answer, because the incident happened too suddenly. The direction in which the ship girls of Naval Base 233 led their young masters away was completely opposite to the direction in which Wo-chan used her tentacles to grab Kogan Xiaobei and the admiral to escape.

On the other side of the beach, the Prince of Wales, relieved to find that his young master only had some tinnitus and dizziness, looked up at Reputation, who was intently watching the battle, and asked:

"What's going on? That ship girl, was she summoned by the young master using the construction tool?"

"Yes, that's her..." After being modified by Adun, Renown's eyesight was much better than before. Even though the two ship girls were fighting on the beach using melee weapons at near-supersonic speeds, Renown could still see them very clearly.

For example, the inexplicable and annoyed expression on the face of Instructor Adun, and the unrestrained killing intent on the face of Omega Yuriko, the pure Japanese ship girl who called herself the first ship of the Rising Sun Empire's all-purpose war fortress.

"Why are they fighting? I don't think they've ever met before?" the Prince of Wales asked, placing Charlotte on his lap in a position that would make the young master more comfortable.

"If you want to know, just look for yourself." As Reputation spoke, the beach where the barbecue had just been held was completely unrecognizable. Even though Adun and Omega Yuriko had no intention of destroying the environment, the wind pressure generated by each of their sword strikes was enough to replace the sword-like energy in the novel.

Only the campfire that Adun had just lit with psionic energy was still burning fiercely in an unknown way.

"This feeling?" Hearing the suggestive hint from the reputation, the Prince of Wales focused his gaze on the two ship girls who had inexplicably started fighting. After staring at them intently for a while, his expression suddenly changed in surprise. "Could it be... This is impossible... This is absolutely impossible..."

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Nelson and Rodney, the two ship girls who had unfolded their ship equipment on the left and right, asked in unison.

“If I’m not mistaken,” the Prince of Wales said, sounding as if he could hardly accept the reality, “there is a kind of innate antagonistic force at play over them.”

"Just like us and the Abyssal Fleet Girls?" Nelson asked, equally puzzled by the Prince of Wales's discovery.

"It's similar, not exactly the same; it's like a new kind of innate antagonism." For some reason, the Prince of Wales seemed to understand this power very well, and she answered with great certainty.

Meanwhile, through wo-chan's narration and Xiao Bei's reluctant translation, Admiral Aden also learned about these things.

"There's no reason for this. Why would there be an inherent antagonism between ship girls? Could it be that one of them is an Abyssal ship girl disguised as a ship girl?" The beautiful admiral Ti tried her best to accept this fact.

"wo^wo" (My admiral isn't Abyss, I can guarantee that) wo-chan's explanation caused Xiao Bei to feel dissatisfied.

"Even a blind abyssal could tell that ship girl named Adun has an unhealthy skin tone and a body that looks disgusting."

It's obvious that the second half of the sentence was Xiao Bei's personal opinion mixed in with her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), because there are plenty of deep-sea ship girls with bigger breasts than her.

"Could the other one be an Abyssal ship girl? Impossible, if it were an Abyssal ship girl, Charlotte would have known by now." Naval Base 666 didn't have an expert like Prince of Wales who knew a lot about innate antagonisms, and the admiral was still going around in circles about whether it was an Abyssal ship girl.

"That ship of unknown origin isn't from the deep sea either, you idiot human, how did you even become an admiral?"

Xiao Bei was furious to discover that her nemesis, the human admiral, didn't even know if the unfamiliar ship girl was from the Abyss. Even though the admiral had just grilled her some crocodile meat to improve her relationship with the ship girl, Adun, it didn't change her opinion.

Some people might ask if Xiaobei's ideal is to capture a human admiral. Of course, this is her ideal in life, just like wo-chan's aluminum pipe. But this ideal does not mean that she would fall for a female human who is hard to tell whether she is human or a ship girl and make her her admiral.

Xiao Bei has always believed that there can never be true friendship between women, let alone between deep-sea ship girls and human ship girls.

"Then why are the two ship girls inherently hostile to each other?" The admiral fell into deep thought.

"Admiral, admiral, could it be because both Sister Adun and that ship girl are special ship girls?" Guogan, finally recovering from his shock, voiced his opinion.

“Silly boy, special ship girls are also ships…” The admiral stopped halfway through his sentence, carefully recalling the bits and pieces that happened after Adun was summoned to this world.

For example, the summoning countdown that keeps shaking and whose exact duration is unknown, the ability to destroy a construction device upon appearance, the insanely long construction time, the inexplicable scientific and technological advancements that have never existed in this world, and...

The admiral, who was thinking about the most important point, knew that this guess needed a key verification, and the person who needed to verify it happened to be someone right next to him.

The admiral turned his gaze to Colonel Wo-chan from the Deep Sea and asked in a very serious tone, "Wo-chan, when you first met Adun, did you have the urge to attack her?"

"Wo?" Wo-chan's reply was in a questioning tone, making it impossible for the admiral to guess what she was saying. So, the admiral, who was not proficient in foreign languages, had no choice but to turn to the translator, Xiao Bei, for help.

Unexpectedly, the deep-sea heavy cruiser Xiao Bei, who was acting as the translator, also looked completely bewildered when she heard the admiral's question.

"Wait a minute, it seems I didn't have any desire to attack that guy... when we first met." Xiao Bei and Adon's first meeting was when Adon grabbed Xiao Bei and used a teleportation attack that almost made Xiao Bei vomit.

Xiao Bei clearly remembers that at the time, she only felt extremely lucky to have escaped death and excited to see Wo-chan. She did not have the slightest urge to attack Ya-dun, even though Ya-dun had some physical contact with her.

Having discerned something from Xiao Bei's reaction, the admiral turned his gaze back to the two special ship girls who were now locked in fierce combat, and muttered to himself:

"I really did summon something extraordinary."

Chapter 78 Praising the Sun (Third update this weekend)

From the moment she learned of the inexplicable, innate antagonism between ship girls and deep-sea ship girls, Adon wanted to thoroughly study this kind of thing that was like a fundamental agreement rooted deep in the souls of ship girls.

Unfortunately, before Adun could find a ship girl soul willing or being willing to be a guinea pig, she experienced something similar within herself.

Unprovoked hatred, unprovoked desire to kill the other person, unprovoked belief that killing the other person will bring great benefits, similar to the feeling that killing the other person will level up.

Not only was Adun feeling this way, but Adun could also see from the depths of the blood-red pupils of the ship girl in front of her, who was wielding a sharp blade with a deadly force, that she was experiencing the same situation as herself.

They both share the same urge to kill each other, and this urge is difficult to suppress.

Is this what the innate antagonism between ship girls and deep-sea ship girls feels like? The willpower to suppress this impulse is truly impressive.

Ardon had already activated her computing module to 80%, which was only enough to keep her calm and analytical when she was overwhelmed by the impulse.

No ship likes to be controlled, and Adun is no exception. However, this situation doesn't feel like being controlled by others, but rather like a hostile feeling. This is the real feeling, and his efforts to avoid it feel like running away.

It's very annoying, and it's very annoying for the ship.

"I said I'm very unhappy, did you hear me!?" With a psionic blade, Ardon parried a thrusting slash and seized the opportunity, shouting as he raised his foot and kicked Omega Yuriko's flat chest without any mercy, sending her flying.

Anyway, I didn't see the other party showing any mercy to the lady. And if we're talking about beauty and charm, Adun is much better than this ship in front of me, which has no curves, no figure, and a stoic expression with a deep-sea face.

Using the force of Adonis's kick, Omega Yuriko performed several backflips and landed firmly on the waves, her body swaying with the water. At the same time, she gripped the particle vibration knife in her hands and assumed a classic Japanese sword-wielding stance.

"I know you want to kill me, and I won't deny that I have the same thought." Ardon brandished two psionic blades, one blue and one green, on either side, and spoke in a voice that everyone could hear, but not loudly:

"But don't you think this way of fighting is a waste of time? Let me see what gives you the confidence to challenge me with just a small ship."

"What is Adun doing? What kind of cricket ship is this? Is Adun a spaceship?" The admiral, who had just uttered his complaint, found himself slapped in the face as Adun, with a layer of blue flames rising all over its body, took to the air.

"Is this what the power of the world demands? Although it annoys me... I'm actually quite happy now." After igniting his own psionic energy, Adun discovered that his previously dimmed skills had all lit up.

At the same time, Adon also knew that the reason why she could use these abilities that she couldn't use before was simply because she now regarded a special ship girl as her enemy.

Similarly, Yuriko Omega, the versatile war fortress of the Rising Sun Empire, who had also unlocked almost all skills, stared blankly at Adun flying into the sky, then raised the particle vibration blade in her hand to her chest and took a deep breath!

"Wo!!" Upon seeing this, Wo-chan immediately summoned dozens of tentacles from her ship rigging and wrapped them up in layers around the unaware Admiral Kobei.

The ship girls from Naval Base No. 233, located opposite the area where the members of Naval Base No. 666 were situated, also knew immediately what this ship girl from the Rising Sun Empire's All-Purpose Fortress was planning to do.

As the Prince of Wales picked up the young master and was about to rush into the sea to activate the Glory Ship Armor, Renown, who was beside them, raised her hands, and all the ship girls instantly froze in place.

A sharp scream spread out from Omega Yuriko, accompanied by a shockwave powerful enough to shatter rocks. The seawater beneath Omega Yuriko's feet caved in a semi-circle in an instant.

However, these were merely the aftershocks of the Omega Yuriko version of Lion's Roar. Most of the sound waves were amplified by the resonance of the particle vibration blade in her hand, forming a devastating sound wave that blasted towards Adun, who was floating in the air.

A sonic weapon? Is this a sign that you and I don't belong to this world? Or is there something else about you?

In the sparks of Adun's thoughts, everything slowed down. When the sound wave was less than a meter away from Adun's body, everything in the world seemed to pause for a moment.

Unlike Reputation's Time Stop field, which only halts all forces in a small area around her, Adun's Time Stop ability completely removes her from this timeline.

At this moment, in Adun's concept of time, the whole world came to a standstill.

Then, the shockwave pierced through the entire forest of the naval base, tearing a broad road through it.

“Well done, but it’s pointless.” The pale blue cubes coalesced into the figure of Adun, and the unharmed Protoss Ark spoke with great interest.

Seeing that her efforts had no effect, a glint flashed in Omega Yuriko's lifeless eyes. Before she could make another move, Ardon's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Your turn is over, now it's my turn."

Retracting the psionic blade from his gauntlets, Adun spread his arms, looked up at the star-studded sky, and spoke in a tone that seemed both praising and lamenting:

"In the name of El's ambition, in the name of Kara's glory, I will guide you, I will lead you, and even in the endless darkness, my light will still pave the way for your future."

"What the hell is Adun up to..." The admiral, who had managed to create an observation port under the protection of a bunch of jellyfish tentacles, hadn't finished speaking when he saw the expressionless face of the versatile war fortress loli, who, although she was Charlotte's ship girl, immediately started fighting Adun, showing a look of horror.

At the same time, all the ship girls who sensed something raised their heads and followed Adun's gaze to the sky.

"Praise the Sun"

A dazzling light pierced the dark night, descending upon the world and illuminating the entire Temporary Naval Base No. 666.

I was originally planning to say an even more cringeworthy line, but unfortunately I'm too old to be cringeworthy anymore.

Let me reiterate, this article has nothing to do with Dark Souls. How could so many lighthearted and comedic everyday scenes be a story so dark and despairing?

At most, it's like Bloodborne... *cough*

☆ Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Glory Representing Will (Fourth update this weekend)

The stars dimmed, the sea churned, and even the pitch-black depths of the ocean retreated, as if trying to distance themselves from the radiance emanating from the stars.

If the sonic waves used by the Empire of the Rising Sun's all-purpose war fortress are weapons of destruction, then Adun's solar rays are the apocalypse (Adun: Pshaw, my solar rays are not fusion warheads, don't use that term to describe them).

"Omega???" Charlotte, regaining her senses, shouted at the still-boiling sea in a slightly sorrowful voice.

Unfortunately, amidst the wailing of the boiling seawater, Charlotte's words, which lacked any power amplifier module, could only be heard by the ship girls beside her.

Of course, there was another ship that could hear it. Adun, who had fired a solar ray using a star reactor, said irritably:

"Your ship girl isn't dead yet, what are you yelling about?"

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone who was alive, whether ship girls or admirals, could hear it.

"Huh? They're still alive? Are Xia's ship girls turtles?" The admiral, who was so frightened, didn't even care about the serious damage his naval base had suffered, which was first pierced and then half of it was burned away.

"It wouldn't be considered a turtle, but it could be a sea turtle," said Adun, his gaze piercing through the boiling sea and looking further into the distance.

Praising enemies seems to be a Protoss tradition, especially those enemies who overestimate their abilities but have some merits. For example, Adun would like to praise the combat awareness of this versatile war fortress ship girl from the Rising Sun Empire.

While the other ship girls were still speculating about what kind of weapon that oppressive force was, the ship girl locked onto by the solar rays had already leaped into the sea and swam towards a more distant and deeper place.
