Colonia Storm Tour

"As expected, my intuition and revelation were correct. To be honest, as a low-level citizen of the empire, I don't know much either, so I can only do my best to tell you what I know."

After Seye finished speaking, another specific mental memory transfer took place. The self-destructive and repentant journey of an idealistic fool began in that somewhat awkward mental exchange. To outsiders, the two looked like intimate lovers, embracing each other affectionately, forgetting time and space...

-Memories of the Colored Leaves-

At first, it was something only law enforcement officers of the Council of Light and Shadow and psionicists who participated in the Void Expedition ceremony knew. Before and after the Empire signed the End Pact with the End of Reincarnation, I was just an ordinary citizen of the Empire living in the Wall Garden. I had no right to know those high-level secrets and important matters. Moreover, at that time, I was also troubled by the problems brought about by the assimilation and fusion of souls, and my memories and personality became confused.

However, I kept my absorption and assimilation of the souls of people from another world a secret very well. I also explained the changes in my appearance and personality as the effects of enhanced psychic power. I could shape my appearance according to my own will. Anyone with a certain amount of psychic power could permanently change their appearance through their own psychic power. At that time, everyone's psychic power was benefiting from the final contract signed with the end of reincarnation, and everyone's psychic power was expanding day by day. Therefore, my changes in appearance and personality became insignificant compared to the general phenomenon of enhanced psychic power around me, because everyone was also experiencing the same changes. The increase in psychic power quickly caused a nationwide upheaval, so it was only then that everyone touched upon a tiny bit of the truth.

This phenomenon of amplified spiritual power is considered a divine blessing, and also a result of the mutual resonance between our hearts and minds, which transcend material things and achieve sainthood. In terms of the result, we are indeed protected by a god-like being, but this god is not as benevolent and generous as imagined. Obtaining all this power comes at an irreparable price.

As the two souls merged more and more seamlessly, my appearance and inner self found a balance amidst the growing spiritual power, chaotic memories, and personality. My physical form and personality gradually took shape, and the chaotic memories and personality finally became orderly after a long period of confusion.

At that time, a major event occurred in the Empire: the disappearance of the renowned psychic leader, Enforcer Apche, and his followers. After their mysterious vanishing, their whereabouts became a mystery to the entire Empire. Five years before the reckoning of the pact, I was in the Meditation Forest on the planet Wall Garden, trying to control my increasingly uncontrollable psychic power. Soul fusion and the amplification of psychic power brought my psychic power to the brink of chaos. Then, in the Meditation Forest, I unexpectedly encountered an ordinary-looking old man, which greatly surprised me. At that time, it was common practice in the Empire to use psychic energy to alter reality and modify one's appearance. Such an ordinary-looking old man was extremely rare. Most importantly, I sensed his profound psychic energy fluctuations, the psychic energy fluctuations of an Enforcer-level person. Only they could give people that kind of psychic feeling.

I could see that he had the psychic energy fluctuations of someone of the law enforcement class, and at the same time, he could see that my psychic energy was on the verge of going berserk, and he took the initiative to help and teach me how to control my power.

He didn't have any hope for me at first. The moment I remember most vividly was the pity in his eyes when he looked at me, as if he were looking at a pitiful guy who was about to die.

But after I followed his instructions and completely stabilized my almost rampaging psionic energy within a few days, I encountered the old man with the psionic energy of an enforcer-level person again in the meditation forest. This time, he showed a look of surprise, as if he had seen a person walking in the night seeing a campfire.

One of the everyday scenes of the stars: Idealists sign the final agreement of reincarnation, achieving a galaxy-level self-destruction.

The story of the Holy Guard is much richer than that of other fallen empires. Their predecessor empire also signed the End Pact of Reincarnation, and then self-destructed, leaving only a hidden population and a prophetic leader. They then revived and eliminated other twisted consciousnesses, leaving one trapped in a star system without hyperspace travel routes. It can be said that the idealists' actions of self-destructing and then rebuilding their country are no different from the Holy Guard's actions.

Chapter Eighty: Colored Leaves (Part Four)

I didn't understand what he meant by that hopeful look in his eyes. Just as I was about to thank him, the old man removed his almost superb psychic disguise, revealing his true appearance to me. Judging from his appearance and the robes of an enforcer, he was the enforcer Apche who had been declared missing by the Empire. I was really surprised to see enforcer Apche, because I never thought I would meet such a missing important figure. I was so shocked that I didn't have time to say anything more before I was stunned by enforcer Apche's words.

“I can see that you have absorbed the soul of a unique individual. Everything about you has become one with that individual’s soul. This is happening in sync with the changes in your appearance, your inner self, and your psionic amplification.”

Enforcer Apche immediately saw through the truth I had been hiding for so long, and couldn't help but feel very nervous, knowing that I had even fooled my own mentor.

But Enforcer Apche didn't care much about that. Instead, he asked if we wanted to know why he and his followers had disappeared before reporting his situation to the local elders.

After hesitating for a while, curiosity led me to ask the question. Then, the answer from Enforcer Apche surprised me. He said that they were not missing at all, but were exiled for holding different political views. Exile is a very severe punishment. It means that they are not only forbidden from returning to their hometown or going to the Imperial Holy Land for life, but even if they appear in the Imperial territory, they will be directly tracked down and killed by psionicists from the Imperial legal authorities to purify the deep sins of disobedience and carry out a one-time reckoning.

Starting with my question, Enforcer Apche told me more. The Empire's current prosperity is not due to some ethereal divine blessing, but rather a result of a pact with the tangible entity of the Void Realm, "The End of Reincarnation." The entire Empire benefits from the infinite power bestowed by The End of Reincarnation, as does our soaring psychic amplification. However, this is not free or eternal; it will all eventually end, and everyone in the Empire will pay the corresponding price.

At first, Enforcer Apche and the others thought that the price was something they could bear, or that they could find a way to avoid the price demanded by the end of the cycle of reincarnation, but that was impossible.

During a psychic sermon, Enforcer Apuch saw a horrific future: the psychic consciousness of the Empire's subjects had become psychic entities wandering the star system. Lacking sufficient suitable reference points, Enforcer Apuch was unsure of the scale of this catastrophe or where it would strike. However, upon waking, he discovered that mysterious ethereal markers existed on planets and on the souls of every individual, and that they were all connected, sharing the same shallow yet profoundly deep ethereal psychic energy.

During another psychic encounter, he learned of a terrifying fact: from the illusory markers, he sensed that something terrible was about to happen. He then connected this with the phrases "the price will eventually be paid" and "the reckoning will come," which all seemed like signs of the end times. Through his investigation, he discovered that from the "Star Throne" to the "Sky Palace," the blessed "Holy Land," the "Fortified Garden," the "Emerald Tomb," the "Essence Gem," and the "Prophet's Refuge," there were ubiquitous illusory psionic markers within them.

Although he didn't know what negative effects this psionic mark would ultimately have, he fully understood that when the time came to pay the price for benefiting from the infinite power of the end of the cycle, no one could hide or escape it, especially since this mark of despair had appeared on them. They warned the Empire to find a way to get rid of this psionic mark, but were treated as heretics by other law enforcement officers and others who were obsessed with that power.

During their fruitless journey, the Enforcer Apche and his companions realized that the end of the cycle, which treated all beings equally, had not given them the opportunity to erase the psionic marks from the illusory realm. Then, while meditating alone in the Garden of Walls, he met me. With the intention of passing the time, I taught and helped me stabilize my psionic power. He was surprised to discover something.

Although I am a subject of the Morning Star Guardian Empire, I do not bear any Void Realm mark, yet I still enjoy the benefits of Void Realm psionic energy. This gave him a glimmer of hope that was almost impossible to resist. They had always wanted to leave behind knowledge for future generations to avoid repeating the same mistakes, but their writings and instruments all bore the mark of Void Realm psionic energy, making it almost impossible for them to leave behind any knowledge. Now that they had discovered that I was not affected by the Void Realm psionic energy mark, it was only natural that they were overjoyed.

After learning about these things, I initially found it hard to believe that the Empire and itself would perish. However, the more evidence they presented forced me to believe it—those ancient texts, internal Imperial documents, and confidential conversations truly made me understand that the Empire was only five years away from total annihilation. Therefore, I began to believe that once 50 years were up, the entire Empire would end, and then something even worse would happen. After encountering the truth, I didn't do it to warn those who came after me and join hands with them to fight the disaster. I simply didn't want to die like that and wanted to live a good life. Therefore, I accepted and acted with Enforcer Apuch and his team. When I was preparing to say goodbye to everything in the Walled Garden and set off to leave, people from the Imperial Ministry of Justice arrived, and even the Imperial fleet came.

They ruthlessly carried out the orders of other law enforcement officers and the law, attacking Law Enforcer Apuch and his followers. I, who was by his side, was also considered an accomplice and treated as an enemy. Only through the desperate resistance of Apuch's followers was I able to leave the Walled Garden with Law Enforcer Apuch and the remaining followers by psionic jump and arrive on the land planet K-III in Corona Southern Sphere. Under the careful guidance of Law Enforcer Apuch and the other followers, I began to learn about higher and deeper levels of psionic theory, which greatly improved my control and understanding of psionic energy. I also learned about the Void Realm and the end of reincarnation, the most important of which was how to deal with the fog of the Void Realm.

The people all know of a planet known as "Apostate," where psionicists have fallen and moved closer to the Void. As a result, the entire planet was shrouded in the Void's mist, and all contact with it was severed. Before falling into the Void, the psionicists of this planet were the most powerful in the Empire. It was only when they became part of the Void world that they realized what kind of existence had given them their power. It was through that lesson that Enforcer Apche and his followers, who understood the truth, and through 50 years of tireless experimentation, finally discovered a way to dismantle the Void's spirits.

First, a "Purification Key" is forged using psychic carving, primarily from Garan Ore, Yulan Crystal, and Zero Element Ore, supplemented with Rysul Gas. This key is then charged with psychic crystals and can release a psychic shockwave that can sweep across the entire planet, restoring true "reality" to its original state and shattering and dispelling all "illusory" creations and mists.

So, on the terrestrial planet of Corona Australis K-III, in my final moments, I learned the relevant knowledge and, based on the teachings, carved a "Purification Key." This Purification Key can not only be used to annihilate beings related to the Void Realm, but also to unlock my own seal. When I was confirmed to have mastered the knowledge that the Apuch Enforcer and his followers needed me to know, just before the end came, I was brought to this planet and transformed into a psionic being, sealed and stored in a psionic crystal, waiting for a psionic being seeking redemption to unlock my seal and fight against the Void Realm spirits and the Void Realm mist.

The Holy Guardian was actually the fourth cataclysm in the past; at the very least, the Holy Guardian survived and became a corrupt empire.

Of course, now that it's the fourth act of the final volume, it won't have anything to do with the illusory realm anymore...

Chapter 81 Colored Leaves (Part 5)

"I see. Your experience has been quite arduous. However, the collapse of the Morning Star Guardian Empire to which you belonged occurred many years ago. The fact that you did not hear the nightmarish howls and roars of the Twisted Consciousness and the Void Manifestation Lords proves that those monsters formed by absorbing the consciousness of the people of a planet are likely no longer existing. After all, other interstellar empires could not possibly remain indifferent to this."

Lin Haiyuan did not believe that sealing her in the Kedarin Crystal inside the Crystal Tower would be enough to avoid the attacks of the Twisted Consciousness and the Void Realm Master. It was just that they usually preferred to roam around various star systems to attack enemies, and would leave people like Seye, who foresaw the end and hid on planets not marked by the Void Realm, until the very end to eliminate them.

"Judging from the scale of the star systems controlled by the Empire, other interstellar empires will not sit idly by. However, I doubt whether they have the power to resist the Twisted Consciousness and the Void Realm Manifestation Lord. It's just that I haven't heard the screams of those psionic monsters. It's very likely that they have been wiped out by other interstellar empires, just as you said, Lin Haiyuan. But if that's the case, my existence suddenly becomes much less meaningful."

Seye chuckled, sounding troubled. She had originally considered herself the last hope against the Void Spirits and Void Mist. Now that there were no Void Spirits and Void Mist that she needed to eliminate with the Purification Key, she naturally felt that there was nothing left to do. The remaining part was just her survival instinct as a human being.

"But you're not just living to fight the threat of the Void Realm, are you? Think positively, as long as you're alive, that's enough. You have to find and define the meaning of your existence yourself. The empire you once belonged to has become part of countless past events and changes over time. Now you have nowhere else to go. Why don't you consider staying by my side forever?"

The last part of Lin Haiyuan's sentence sounds like a disguised marriage proposal. If she had stayed by his side all this time, it would be understandable if she hadn't become his wife.

"Um, Mr. Lin Haiyuan, you're asking me to consider whether you want to stay by my side. Is this a marriage proposal, a way of finding a second mother to take care of my daughter?"

The face of the woman reflected in Lin Haiyuan's eyes flushed with a shy blush, clearly showing her embarrassment and surprise.

"Huh? A marriage proposal? Ah, I misspoke and made you misunderstand. What I meant was whether you wanted to join my forces and become my companions... Wait, find a second mother to take care of your daughter? You... do you really know where my eldest daughter, Lin Shiyin, is?"

Lin Hai was embarrassed by his mistake, but Se Ye's second sentence cheered him up, because his last hope for his eldest daughter Lin Shiyin's survival rested on Se Ye.

"Ah, ah, so it didn't mean a marriage proposal. Hahaha, I misunderstood too, sorry... But if I don't say things like that, I'll almost forget about your eldest daughter, Lin Haiyuan. Don't worry, my power has been protecting her all along, so she is now safely sleeping in the center of the spaceship ruins. At that time, my power was limited and could only do this much."

After lightly brushing aside the misunderstanding about the marriage proposal, the blush on Seye's face gradually faded.

"So it was Iroha who was protecting her all along. That's wonderful. If she had died by my side because of that, I would never have been able to forgive myself for the mistake I made. Even if I could find my wife again, I would have no face to face her. I am deeply grateful. Iroha, if you need anything in the future, please tell me. I will try my best to meet your needs."

The huge weight that had been hanging over Lin Haiyuan's heart finally lifted, and his long-standing worry and tension could finally be relieved. As for the keyword "spaceship ruins," it was much less important than the safety of his eldest daughter, Lin Shiyin, so Lin Haiyuan did not mention it or think about it immediately.

"Then I will respectfully comply. However, there are some things about your eldest daughter Lin Shiyin's brain and mind that puzzle me. I once detected traces similar to those of being touched by the chaos of the illusory realm. Does Lin Haiyuan know about this? When I was sealed, my abilities were limited and I could not know more."

Iroha only detected traces of negative energy touching Lin Shiyin's mind and subconscious.

"This is a long story, Seye. Neither my daughter nor I came into this world willingly or under normal circumstances. Instead, we came into this world because of a disaster that could be created. The spaceship ruins you mentioned earlier... those are the remains of my once intact flagship, the Eternal, formerly known as the Colonia Flanking Air Base. I was also the Supreme Commander of the Colonia Flanking, and that was my main flagship. The cause of all this is a god as ancient as the universe itself. The traces of contact with the illusory chaos that you mentioned were also left by it."

Lin Haiyuan knew that since she mentioned that her eldest daughter, Lin Shiyin, was in the central part of the spaceship ruins, then considering their last location before crossing over, what else could it be besides the flagship, the Colonia Flanking Air Base? If it was the Protoss mothership, then that would be complicated.

"A god as ancient as the universe?! This, this, this sounds like an existence comparable to those psionic gods in the virtual realm."

Upon hearing Lin Haiyuan's description of Nyarlathotep's unknown avatar, Seye was extremely shocked.

"I'm not sure which one is stronger, but those psionic gods in the Void Realm can't directly descend to the mortal world, while this ancient god representing [Chaos] can walk freely in the mortal world. Fortunately, I only encountered one of its avatars. Even so, one of its avatars has caused me a lot of trouble, leading my daughter and me to this state. My other loyal subordinates have also been caught in the out-of-control wormhole and their whereabouts and fates are unknown. I swore that if I ever see one of this damned evil god's incarnations again, I will make it suffer a terrible death."

When Lin Haiyuan said these words in his mind, it was clear that he was gritting his teeth and filled with anger.

"To kill an ancient god who represents chaos and whose power is not diminished in the mortal world, even just an avatar, is not an easy task. It is not an opponent that can be fought against by oaths and personal will alone."

Shiro was unfamiliar with the Cthulhu Mythos, but that did not prevent her from using her experience as a psionicist to judge the power of Nyarlathotep's Unknown Avatar.

"Indeed, so I cunningly held back in my oath. There's no need to do this unless we encounter it. Once we do encounter it, only one of us can survive unless it escapes."

Lin Haiyuan has never liked to make definitive statements without absolute certainty.

The whereabouts of the daughter and the Colonia flank air base have now been revealed.

Odd Junk is an interesting player-created interpretation of the Act 3 storyline, meaning "Strange Waste (Trash)". The creator said that the previous storyline settings were different from the official three-round storyline, so it's understandable that some plot points are not right. It's just that I don't appreciate it.

Chapter 82 Colored Leaves (Part 6)

"I can feel your anger and hatred towards that ancient chaotic god, Lin Haiyuan, but as a psychic, you must control your emotions and not lose control. Otherwise, your psychic abilities will become unstable or you may even fall into a bad state of mental instability and disorder, which could lead to a greater disaster that no one wants to happen."

In this intimate, heart-to-heart conversation, Seye could easily sense Lin Haiyuan's undisguised emotions, while his concealed emotions remained undetected.

“I know, so I won’t let anger and hatred control my heart. Right now, I’m already satisfied that my daughter is safe and sound. Even though my flagship has been smashed to pieces, as long as there are enough resources and manpower, I can get her back on the road. But how long have my flagship and my daughter been here? It doesn’t seem like they came into this world at the same time as me.”

Looking at the frozen ice and snow covering the wreckage of the Eternal, Lin Haiyuan realized that the ice had formed much earlier than he had.

"Counting from the time you heard my call until now, three years have passed in total. During these three years, I used the static field to freeze your daughter's time and space, keeping her safe and sound. You are the hero who rescued me from the seal. I must say you are a little late. Can you tell me why you are so late?"

Seye could only contact Lin Haiyuan; she couldn't obtain any information from him through this psychic link.

“No problem. For the past two years, I have been burdened with tasks from my current faction. If I don’t complete them, neither they nor I will have anywhere to go.”

Lin Haiyuan began by sharing his memories from the past two years with Seye through a live broadcast, adding his own explanations.

"Although we're not doing anything dangerous, the lack of convenient transportation and the long time required to complete the mission really puts you in a difficult position. You used to be such a big shot, but now you're running around the world like a lowly clerk. Now let's go together from the center of your flagship's ruins to find your daughter. I believe your daughter must really want to see you, her father, right now."

As Seye spoke, she also distanced herself from Lin Haiyuan, stepped back, and released her arms that were holding him. Lin Haiyuan, who had regained a lot of energy in her arms, breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"Well, now please lead the way and tell me where my daughter is. The flagship wreckage here is too widespread, and with so much snow, I can't recognize her. Construction drones and other engineers are currently clearing the snow. But now you need to come to my construction site. You appeared here suddenly, and the defense system cannot recognize you as a friendly force."

Lin Haiyuan spoke, saying that in the past, his telepathic communication with Seye relied heavily on physical contact between them. If they didn't want to transmit memory images or explain complex operations, they could just read the words. But if they needed to do that, they would have to use telepathy.

Seye didn't speak, just nodded, and followed Lin Haiyuan. She floated on the ground, showing no intention of walking on solid ground.

Lin Haiyuan did not build defensive facilities such as machine gun bunkers inside the battlefield base, so he and Seye did not encounter any accidental damage from defensive towers when they went to the Allied construction site. However, for Seye, who was an unimaginably powerful psionicist, the machine gun bunkers, fixed artillery emplacements, and prism towers were weapons that she was completely confident she could not harm and would instead be attacked by them.

When entering the Allied construction site, it was a bit troublesome because she was an unidentified person, so Lin Haiyuan used his commander's authority to have EVA control the security system to let Iroha pass.

He took Seye directly to the command room for identity verification. Once logged in and considered as one of their own, Lin Haiyuan and Seye moved swiftly toward the center of the wreckage of the Colonia flank air base that his daughter had extended. The engineering machinery used to open the ship's wreckage was naturally ignored. They were both top-tier psionicists, and with their mental power/psychic abilities, opening a hole in a piece of ship wreckage at close range was just a matter of a thought. However, in order to be able to recover the wreckage of the Colonia flank air base in the future, they could not cause more damage to the wreckage. Therefore, Lin Haiyuan was mainly responsible for opening the entrance into the wreckage.

His use of mental power, learned from Maron, allows him to easily cut through most types of matter. The nanocomposite armor is not made of neutron-state ore; the stability of its internal binding molecules is far inferior to that of pure neutrons. Of course, for his mental power, unless it is a matter of infinite density (which he has not yet tried to know), he can still cut through neutron-state armor like a hot knife through butter. However, the beta decay that occurs after the stability of neutron-state matter is destroyed is a fatal problem in terms of radiation.

His skill in manipulating molecules with his mental power to separate them greatly impressed Seye, who witnessed it firsthand. This kind of manipulation of molecular movement requires a psionicist with an extremely precise and tenacious will and powerful psychic energy. There are not many people who can do this, and most psionicists prefer to eliminate enemies with more flashy moves or use steel melee weapons to deal with their opponents, rather than using this subatomic scalpel to cut and eliminate their opponents. Some of them cannot do it, and some find it too troublesome.

Using her mental power, she cut all the way to where her eldest daughter, Lin Shiyin, was, which was also the location of the command center of the Colonia flank air base. She saw her eldest daughter lying on the cold black ground, wrapped in a golden crystal cocoon (static field), and immediately rushed over to her daughter's side. At the same time, Seye also released her spiritual energy that was maintaining the static field and withdrew it.

The static force field turned into specks of golden light and dissipated into the air. Lin Haiyuan quickly reached out and picked up his daughter, who had fallen on the cold ground. He then checked her breathing and touched her to make sure that her breathing was normal and her body temperature was not too high before he felt relieved and picked her up from the ground.

"When your flagship crashed, Lin Haiyuan, I was terrified. If it weren't for the special protection of the crystal tower, it might have shattered along with the Kedarin crystal. Your daughter suffered considerable injuries, almost to the point of death. Fortunately, I discovered your daughter early because she has the same special psionic energy fluctuations as you, although they are very weak..."

Iroha was able to detect Lin Shiyin's presence in the crashed Colonia flank air base because she was a potential psychic. If her psychic abilities hadn't been so conspicuous, she wouldn't have been able to find the unconscious Lin Shiyin and provide treatment and protection.

"That was a close call... But now that you and my daughter are both safe, at least there's nothing to worry about, and my work can be temporarily put on hold. However, an even greater threat and enemy has already crossed the barriers of time and space and tracked us here."

Now that Lin Haiyuan has found his daughter, he has no motivation to cause trouble unless there is another reason. It seems like he's going to take a break. However, the appearance of Epsilon proves that he can't really stay apathetic. Furthermore, according to the internal meeting of Azur Lane, he still has to do something for the Ikchino Republic Alliance's ambitions.

Of course, the condition of the wreckage of Colonia's flank air base is not so ideal...

Chapter 83 Harvest from the Wreckage (Part 1)

After more than two years, through his own efforts, with the help of Iroha and a bit of luck, Lin Haiyuan finally reunited with his daughter safely. However, his flagship, the Eternal, which had been by his side from the Date A Live world to the Tiberium and Girls' Frontline hybrid world, crashed completely on the Akutan Islands due to a fatal mistake and the interference of the unknown avatar of Nyarlathotep. Too much time had passed, and it was completely shattered. Whether it could be repaired and set sail again was a big question. At present, the shattered Colonia Flanking Air Base could not be repaired, because rebuilding the Colonia Flanking Air Base would require the entire Fuephron, the Executive Committee, a total of 30KM of maintenance hangars, countless nanomachines, countless nanomaterials, an outstanding and wise chief engineer and project leader, and a design team to complete it again. He didn't have any of these right now.

The situation is even worse than when the Varyag was docked at the Black Sea Shipyard. The difference in basic technology and materials makes rebuilding the Colonia flank air base almost impossible. The construction of the Paradox Engine already required the combined efforts of the entire Allied forces, and the construction site, London, was transformed into a huge military fortress and warehouse. Now, Lin Haiyuan only has a small fleet, a small force, and an MCV carrying some resources. It seems impossible for him to complete the work of repairing the Colonia flank air base and getting it back to sail on the Akutan Islands.

Lin Haiyuan's expedition to the Akutan Islands not only led him to find his daughter, but also a Protoss Crystal Tower and the last female descendant of an ancient interstellar empire sealed within it. The fact that he also confirmed the massive spaceship ruins could not be completely kept secret from Li Xiangyang and Kangde in the Curved Arm Islands. The technicians and soldiers currently dispatched there were all recruited from Li Xiangyang's system. Furthermore, Lin Haiyuan and Shinonono no Tsukasa had no intention of hiding this from them. If they wanted to rebuild the Colonia flank air base in the future… or rather, the degraded version of the Paradox Engine, they truly needed the full support of Li Xiangyang and Kangde. It would be virtually impossible for Shinonono no Tsukasa and Lin Haiyuan, who were practically commanders without any support, to accomplish such a task.

While Li Xiangyang and Kang De were quite surprised, Lin Haiyuan, after communicating with Shinonono Tsukasa, revealed to them in a remote conference, with some reservations, that he was not only an assassin who had worked in the Girls' Frontline world, but also the captain and supreme commander of the now-crashed epic behemoth, which was 24km long and wide. He had accompanied him in his conquests of four or five worlds, and the previous world was a combination of Girls' Frontline and Tiberium. He had come to this world in such a bizarre way because he had been arranged by the unknown incarnation of Nyarlathotep.

This seemingly unbelievable, albeit somewhat reserved, lower figure made them exclaim that it was impossible. However, Lin Haiyuan's detailed and seemingly genuine data report and explanation of the ship's functions reminded them that their own transmigration and the system were indeed just as fantastical and unbelievable. In comparison, it wasn't surprising that Lin Haiyuan was actually the supreme commander and captain of an epic aerial flagship. However, the presence of Iroha, who resembled Madoka Kaname, beside him once again shocked them. They hadn't expected a woman who looked exactly like Madoka Kaname to appear, especially next to Lin Haiyuan. Coupled with his previous possession of such a magnificent and enormous aerial warship, Iroha's demeanor while sitting next to Lin Haiyuan filled them with envy, jealousy, and hatred. However, with many ship girls accompanying them, their minds were no longer controlled by simple desires, so they quickly got to the main topic of this remote meeting.

First, Iroha introduced herself and then told her story and the origin of the Celestial Crystal Tower. They welcomed the addition of a powerful psionicist, as it symbolized the further strengthening of their individual strength as part of the Azure Front, which they formed with Shinonono no Tsukasa. Next, they discussed the issue of how to deal with the wreckage of the epic warship in Lin Haiyuan.

Li Xiangyang and Kang De wisely refrained from saying much in this regard, instead turning their attention to Lin Haiyuan and Shinononozuka. The former was the owner of the epic behemoth, while the latter was a senior engineer with the most authority on scientific research and military equipment. However, Shinononozuka's actions depended on Lin Haiyuan's wishes. Therefore, Lin Haiyuan suggested requesting headquarters to send more transport aircraft, combat personnel, and technicians to dismantle the wreckage of the Colonia flank air base and transport it back to the Spinning Arm Islands for Shinononozuka to handle. The external structures could be disregarded; the most important thing was to salvage the valuable internal data core and nanoarrays. The core contains a wealth of valuable military data and information, including a complete set of Allied/Soviet/Epsilon/Foehn armory production blueprints and other materials. The nanoarray is an essential component for manufacturing the ubiquitous nano-sized Foehn armaments. Furthermore, an organization is working diligently to excavate the remains of the "Sigma" tuning array and related data cores to ensure that they can recreate the area time stop weapon, which can be reinstalled in the resurrected Colonia flank air base or the degraded Paradox Engine, becoming a powerful weapon for turning the tide of battle.
