The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

Being captured by other Princesses' subordinates could be considered the beginning of a happy life, but being captured by a tyrant's hunter is a recipe for early death and rebirth.

If a well-informed ship girl like South Dakota were present at this moment, she would definitely tell Commander Sarah Waga in a very serious tone that what her adjutant said was true.

After becoming the Ancient Princess, the original Lexington changed her behavior from a virtuous wife as a ship girl and turned so dark that she could be considered a final boss.

They were addicted to killing without reason or justification.

...Moreover, according to unreliable statistics, the number of Abyssal ship girls who died at the hands of the Ancient Princess Lexington far exceeds the number of ship girls who died at the hands of Lexington.

If it weren't for Lexington's killing spree, it would be a case of indistinguishable ship girls or deep-sea creatures, giving the inexplicable feeling that she was actually a ship girl infiltrating the deep-sea as a spy.

Chapter 1461 Adun: Is He About to Take Off?

The unrestrained and indiscriminate killing made the Deep Sea Tyrant Lexington the most dangerous ancient princess, not even recorded in the Dangerous Princess Handbook in the hands of ordinary admirals.

The reason there was no record was that there was no need to record it, because no naval base could have survived since it was originally considered an enemy by Derekshire.

Basically, not even a hamster can escape from top to bottom, so apart from some top-level big shots, everyone is extremely wary of the existence of this ancient princess.

Coincidentally, there was such a top-tier leader in the Kantai Collection. When they saw the Deep Sea Tyrant being picked up by the Ancient Princess Saratoga, who had "surrendered," and taken to the Sky Governor's Mansion.

These bigwigs' first reaction was to contact the two governors.

Governor-General Ying Zheng did not express any opinion upon hearing this matter; in the official parlance of the East Asia Theater, this was a case of "keeping quiet and not issuing a statement."

Governor Adun was completely out of contact. After Adun entered the enemy's core area, all communication was cut off, including some interstellar warships that could not reach Adun.

To paraphrase the Normandie: "His Excellency the Governor of the Pacific seems to no longer exist in this world."

"..." Admiral Bai Qi, the commander of the Normandy, almost misunderstood what the Normandy said. If the Normandy hadn't quickly added an explanation, the starship would probably have been arrested and put in solitary confinement for undermining morale.

Soon, reports from some reconnaissance units confirmed Normandy's account.

At an invisible boundary, even if the ship girls outside could see the Executor and the original Yamato fighting in the royal city, these reconnaissance units could not get any closer.

It wasn't a physical barrier; it was simply impossible to get close, as if we were isolated in another world.

"Could it be a trap?" General Bai Qi asked with a worried expression.

With the same expression as General Bai Qi, there was also Tidu, the first admiral Admiral that Admiral had ever seen in this world, and the adopted daughter of the Enterprise.

"Is Adon alright?" Tidu, standing on high ground, looked at the distant city ruins and asked Sodbrega beside him.

"...Admiral." After a moment of silence, Soderbrega said after hearing his admiral's question, "No matter what happens, I will protect you."

"What do you mean? Is Adun in danger?" Tidoo asked in surprise, sensing the hidden meaning in Sordbregas's words.

“This is her battlefield, her choice,” Soderbrega said.

"I order you to bring Adon back!!" Tidu said hastily, feeling a sudden surge of inexplicable panic.

"..." Soderbrega did not move.

“I command…” Tidu was interrupted by Sodbrega with a hug before he could finish speaking.

"I'm sorry, Master." Soderbrega slowly disappeared while holding Tidu. Before disappearing completely, Soderbrega's voice echoed in the air: "I can't do it."

At the same time, Yaton, who had already gone quite deep into the area, withdrew his gaze and started walking again.

“She can do it too, can’t she?” Little Xu said to Ardon.

“She’s already done it once, but she doesn’t want to do it again,” Ardon said.

"You think restoring things to their original state will solve the problem?" As Xiao Xu and Aden spoke, Hyperion was working hard to eliminate the mobile soldiers that surrounded them.

Compared to the junk autonomous machines on the periphery, these mobile soldiers controlled by ship girls, or even mistakenly summoned interstellar warships, have caused considerable trouble for the Hyperion.

Of course... it was just troublesome; neither Adun nor the Void Seekers helped Hyperion.

"Even if we can't solve the problem, we shouldn't let it stagnate." Adon wasn't surprised that Xiao Xu guessed his plan, or rather, it would have been surprising if Xiao Xu hadn't guessed it.

"...Fine, whatever you decide. By the way, do you still remember how to be the sun?" Xiao Xu didn't express any objection.

“…” Adon remained silent for at least five minutes, until Hyperion returned panting after clearing out the mobile soldiers, before saying in a slightly embarrassed tone, “I forgot.”

"I knew it..." Xiao Xu sighed helplessly.

"Forgot...forgot what?" Hyperion, panting heavily, heard the last sentence.

"...It's none of your business." Little Void waved to Hyperion.

"Hey, we've gotten this far, why not tell me? What exactly are you planning, Adun?" Is Hyperion stupid? Of course he is, but even the stupidest person can come to their senses.

"Do you really want to know?" Adun asked Hyperion.

"..." Just as Hyperion was about to say "of course," he suddenly sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange.

“It’s nothing really,” Adun explained to Hyperion. “As I mentioned before, the contract led to the birth of ship girls, but without the contract, there would be no ship girls.”

“…What do you mean?” Hyperion asked.

"That means Adun intends to replace that contract as the new source of power." Since Adun has spoken, Xiao Xu will not hide it from him anymore.

"Huh? Ah? What? Adun... Adun, you're going to sacrifice yourself? Awooo..." Hyperion had barely finished speaking when Adun slapped him on the head with a chop to the neck.

"Hmm, am I misunderstanding something?" Hyperion asked, his health reduced by half after being attacked.

"When you're sunbathing, do you feel like the sun is sacrificing itself?" Xiao Xu shook his head with an expression that said, "This is Hyperion's own fault, don't blame me."

“There is a little bit… no, no, I mean of course, of course not…” Hyperion quickly shrank into a ball and said when he saw Adun raise his hand again.

“But there were some sacrifices involved,” Little Hue said to Hyperion.

Upon hearing what Xiaoxu said, Hyperion's expression tightened, and then she heard Adun continue:

"It's not exactly a sacrifice, it's just that I'm not as free anymore."

The Ark created by the Protoss served as a limiter to Adun's sun, but it also granted Adun the ability to freely roam the universe.

After that... Adun might become a true mother ship.

"Hmm... So, Adun, you want to hang in the sky? Awooo..." Hyperion had barely finished speaking when he was struck by another chop to the neck.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and get back to what you're doing." Xiao Xu sighed as he looked at the Hyperion, who was always intentionally or unintentionally courting death.

The reason Xiao Xu said this was because a bunch of flying mobile infantry had appeared again, and they seemed to have become a little stronger. These waves of enemies seemed to be testing the strength of Adun's ship.

Unfortunately, it only exhausted Hyperion.

"Why don't we all come at once..." Hyperion said, taking out a crowbar. After fighting at least a dozen waves of this type of enemy, Hyperion found that using close-range weapons to get close and attack was the simplest, easiest, and most efficient way to save ammunition.

As Hyperion flew off and began his crowbar rampage, Little Hue turned to Adun and asked, "I'll remember you when you're in heaven."

"Sizzle..." The blue and green psionic light blades collided.

"Hey, just kidding." After blocking Adun's "real hand chop attack," Xiao Xu said, "How about I design a new container for you?"

"We'll see later, and we might not even take that step." It's just that the probability is high, Ardon added to himself.

Chapter 1462 The Battle Between Reality and Spirit

"Why isn't this over yet?" Hyperion complained loudly after eliminating who knows how many waves of enemies.

The reason Hyperion complained so much wasn't because she was tired; it would be a huge loss of ship if a starship got exhausted from such trivial matters.

Rather, it's because as they went deeper and more Hyperions were eliminated, the methods of combat changed.

They faced the Hyperion less and less often, and resorted to sneak attacks and ambushes more and more frequently.

The tactic of keeping a distance while flying kites even emerged.

Although those enemies who used these tactics inevitably ended up as a pile of garbage.

But it really annoyed Hyperion to death.

"Are you ever going to stop, you bastard!" If it weren't for the fear of some unforeseen event, Hyperion would have already bundled the Apocalypse Fusion Bomb into cluster grenades and thrown them out to clean up the mess.

"Including what you just solved, we've got about a tenth done," Little Void said to the disgruntled Hyperion.

"Huh?" Hyperion turned to look at the wreckage and the steel city, now even more ruined after the battle. Only one-tenth of the total?

"And with your hesitation just now, that number has decreased a little more," Xiao Xu said with a smile, "although only a little."

"Is it still under construction?" Hyperion instantly understood what Xiao Xu was talking about and gave him a look that urged Xiao Xu to help quickly.

“You said you wanted to handle it yourself,” Little Void shrugged at Hyperion.

"Just kidding, helping out is no problem." Hyperion had a lot of faith in Xiao Xu when it came to tasks like finding the source.

"I'm busy..." Xiao Xu said.

"..." Hyperion walked around Adun and the Hollow one and a half times, instead of floating.

"What's wrong?" Adun stopped and asked Hyperion.

“I’d like to know what Little Void is up to?” Hyperion said.

“Take a look if you want…” Ardon put his hand on Hyperion’s shoulder, and instantly, Hyperion felt as if he had been pulled into another world.

A world filled with blood and fire, and where time is disordered.

In this world, she saw ancient knights riding strange mounts and wielding cold weapons charging towards their enemies, who were multi-layered tank formations.

Meanwhile, the tank formations raised their cannons, their continuous roars accompanied by destruction.

What destroyed them were the hovercraft that flew above the heads of these ancient knights.

Further into the sky, several starships, no smaller than the Hyperion, were exchanging fire.

As debris splattered, it created meteors that streaked across the sky.

When Adun removed his hand from Hyperion's shoulder, Hyperion returned to what could be considered the "real world."

"What...what is that?" Hyperion asked, puzzled.

“The memory of the world,” Adun replied.

"The memory of the world? I haven't seen those things in this world." Although she only glanced at them, Hyperion was certain that neither the native ship girls nor the ancient humans possessed that style of technology.

“Because those are memories of the past,” Ardon replied.

"The past?" Hyperion seemed to understand what Adun was talking about.

“The civilizations that existed in this world have been destroyed before,” Adun said.
