Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Well, I was thinking that the sirens in Australia seem to be quite fat, so maybe I should sneak over there and find some energy stones."

Black Flying Dragon's expression turned serious, and he stopped pretending.

She didn't even encounter a single mirror-like sea area on her trip to the Cherry Blossom Empire. She had originally planned to collect some stones and...

Akashi, who was changing equipment, now has to look elsewhere.

Are you confident?

Upon hearing this, the company representative raised his head slightly and asked a question.

"I can make myself invisible to radar surveillance, and I can quickly resolve any issues that aren't too troublesome."

Black Dragon said in a low voice.

In today's information age, the ability to shield one's own signal is something that can be accomplished in many ways.

They might receive a notice of movement restriction upon their return to Hong Kong, but she hasn't gone back yet. Since she hasn't been restricted yet, as long as she isn't discovered, nothing will happen.

Hu De's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but his hands unconsciously clasped together.

"Of course, this is only because the current detection technology is a bit outdated and cannot see through my concealment. There are some things here that may be helpful to your scientific research."

Black Flying Dragon's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled as he took out several USB drives from his pocket and handed them to Hood.

"Hmm, when do you plan to leave?"

Hu De nodded, and Belfast, who was in standby mode, reached out and took several USB drives.

"Let's do it now. I happen to have some things to take care of, so I'll trouble you to look after Yuudachi for me."

After a moment's thought, Black Dragon answered.

If she doesn't linger, she can cross into Australia in a minute, fight a couple of times, and then go to Birth Island to rest for the night before running back to Hong Kong the next morning to reunite with the others.

"Be careful, don't get bogged down in the fight."

Wales looked at the black dragon and gave it a word of advice.

"Don't worry, I'll be here tomorrow morning if nothing unexpected happens."

Black Flying Dragon's lips curled into a confident smile.

"If nothing unexpected happens... never mind, just be careful."

Wales shook his head as he heard the familiar words.

"Okay, everyone get some rest too. See you tomorrow."

Black Flying Dragon made a few hand gestures towards Fearsome, stood up, took a few steps back and disappeared into the darkness. A pale blue light flashed by, and he vanished from the island.

"Black Flying Dragon's abilities are getting stronger and stronger. Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, but I miss the Black Flying Dragon from the old group: 543659389, who had to think twice before facing mass-produced models."

After the black dragon left, Wales leaned back slightly, looking at the scattered stars in the sky.

"There are times like that?"

Kewei immediately became interested upon hearing this and quickly pressed for more information.

"Haha, you don't know this, do you? When Black Dragon first joined the port, he went on a mission with me. That night, our team was surrounded by Sirens..."

Wales chuckled twice and began to tell Fearless a story.

Hood didn't get involved. He stood up and walked to the side to watch the waves crashing on the beach. Belfast followed silently behind Hood.

"Lord Hood, do you have any questions?"

Belfast asked softly.

"If the Black Dragon appeared in the same way as the Black Corporation we encountered, and we choose the best one from several speculations, it would be that the core data of the Sirens was leaked, and the human side conducted experiments to create the Black Dragon that is compatible with humans... But if that's really the case, the Black Dragon should be following those researchers, and it's impossible for it to be drifting on the sea alone and being discovered by Helena."

Hood casually remarked, his hands behind his back.

"Indeed, but has Lord Hood considered that perhaps someone who possessed the core technology of the Sirens organized the experiment to create the Black Dragon, but because we were defeated in the war and our internal forces were invaded, the experiment had to be terminated prematurely, and the Black Dragon itself was born as an incomplete product?"

Belfast, with his hands folded in front of him, stepped forward half a step and calmly offered another guess.

"A very interesting conjecture. Is there any concrete information on it?"

Hood turned to look at Belfast.

"Yes, Black Dragon vaguely inquired about the reason for his birth when he was talking to a teacher at the Commander's School in S City. In the relevant reports, a woman named 'Mio' appeared. I privately asked Yuudachi, and this Mio had direct contact with Black Dragon."

Belfast said calmly.

"I see. If we follow this information, the Sirens that Amagi mentioned hiding in the interior must be them. It's hard to believe that there are Sirens who would help humanity... As for the reason for the birth of the Black Dragon, how did that teacher answer?"

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Hu De's lips.

Together they were searching for information and data about the Sirens, but they didn't expect that these things were not as far away from them as they had imagined.

"Experiment, coincidence, miracle."

Belfast answered truthfully.

"Interesting. The Black Dragon's 'something to do' probably refers to its search for the experimental zone where it was born. It's amazing that an incomplete prototype can already rival the Siren's experimental products. Such coincidences are truly terrifying."

Hu De sorted out his thoughts and spoke from the heart.

Bismarck glanced sideways.

……

"Ah!"

Thousands of nautical miles away in Australia, the Black Dragon suddenly sneezed.

Who's talking about me?

Black Flying Dragon rubbed its nose, its eyes scanning the surrounding sea like those of a hungry wolf.

In the wilderness far from the city, even with the moon, visibility is quite low after dark, but for ship girls, the dim light is not a problem.

"I never feel like I'm an aircraft carrier."

Black Flying Dragon, wielding a sword, swiftly traversed the sea, fierce and powerful.

Even she herself thought her appearance was somewhat outrageous.

The feedback indicates that the Australian seabed not only harbors Sirens' bases but also a considerable number of mechanical life forms, many of which use mimicry to disguise themselves as fish and swim on the seabed. In comparison, mass-produced Sirens are truly rare.

It's no wonder that the port areas here would confront and even fight each other over a team of mass-produced vehicles. It's because the sirens here are high-class and can't tolerate such low-level products as mass-produced vehicles.

"If an independence movement like the Sakura Empire were to break out here, we would be crushed by the Sirens in no time. This is no longer infiltration; the whole place would become Sirens territory."

The more Black Dragon looked, the colder his expression became.

She is currently in the South China Sea, where Donghuang has also established a port area for governance. However, these Sirens only stay in the waters on the side of the United Nations, while Donghuang only symbolically built two bases in its part of the waters. This situation is as if the Sirens are afraid of Donghuang.

"Could it be that the Eastern Empire does have good inventions, but simply chooses not to share them with us?"

Black Dragon couldn't help but wonder what the Sirens were afraid of.

"Or is it Mio who's maneuvering?"

As his thoughts raced, Black Dragon thought of Mio, who had created him. As the creator of the Sirens, if he wanted to protect Donghuang, the other Sirens under his command would indeed not dare to take large-scale actions against Donghuang.

After hesitating for a while, Black Dragon consciously gave up thinking and focused its attention on finding the Mirror Sea.

One energy stone can continuously produce energy to supply the Mirror Sea. Similarly, with just one energy stone, she can set up an unlimited teleportation portal in the Free Port.

Without the replenishment function, finding the mirror-like sea at night would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But with the detection function, Black Dragon discovered its first target half an hour after arriving in Australia.

"I'll give one teleportation array to Akashi and keep one for myself as a backup, that's three in total. I hope the Sirens can put in some effort."

After making a budget for himself, the Black Dragon tore open a space and traversed to the entrance of the Mirror Sea.

Stepping out of the tunnel, Black Dragon immediately spotted the fluctuating space at the edge of a solitary island cliff. At the base of the cliff were numerous reefs, and the crashing seawater created a tremendous noise.

"A good place."

Narrowing his eyes, Black Dragon turned to look into the distance. A huge whirlpool was forming, constantly pulling at the surrounding seawater, even affecting the spot where Black Dragon was standing.

I don't know which genius put the Mirror Sea here. Rather than trying to scam passing ship girls, it seems more like they're preventing anyone from causing trouble here.

"You're no use here, let me help you move to another place."

Finding the first stone greatly lifted Black Dragon's spirits. With a laugh, he raised his sword and slashed vertically, creating an invisible wave that merged with the unstable space, forming a tunnel that led directly into the interior of the Mirror Sea.

Without hesitation, the black dragon stepped directly into it.

'boom!'

The moment Black Dragon entered the space, she heard the sound of cannons firing. The sound came from directly in front of her and was very close.

Without raising her sword, Black Flying Dragon stretched out her left hand, and a pale blue light screen formed a circle around her.

boom!

An explosion rang out; the cannonball exploded the instant it collided with the light barrier, and the rising smoke obscured the Black Dragon's vision.

Black Dragon lowered his left hand, casually swung his right hand at the knife, and a huge, dark red sword aura dispersed the smoke, tore through space, and punched a hole in the entire Mirror Sea, directly opening a passage to other areas.

With a slight shift in his gaze, the Black Dragon quickly locked onto a certain space within the layers and stepped directly inside.

This space was very ordinary; a pale red light filled the entire world, and everything on the sea was quite ordinary.

"How cautious."

After Black Flying Dragon stepped into this space, he raised his hand and slashed horizontally. The sharp sword energy surged out and spread forward from Black Flying Dragon as the starting point.

Ding!

The sword energy was fast, but it paused briefly when it cut into an open space. With the sound of shattering glass, an island appeared in front of the Black Dragon. The island was flat and resembled a military base, with numerous artillery emplacements and military equipment scattered throughout.

This military base, which could have caught people off guard, was swept away by a massive sword aura the instant its shield was shattered. All the buildings and turrets turned into fragments, which, along with the wind pressure and sword aura, flew towards the ends of the earth.

Once everything had calmed down, Black Dragon strode across the rubble-strewn ground and walked straight to the entrance to a basement. He swung his sword and cut through the ground, revealing a circular control panel.

After jumping straight down, it sliced ​​off the useless part of the control panel with a single stroke, revealing an irregularly shaped rock the size of a pebble in the black dragon's line of sight.

Reaching out, Black Dragon removed the stone and placed it into his personal storage space. He then swung his sword again, opening a tunnel leading to the outside world, and moved away.

"First one obtained."
