After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

So Lonnie set up autopilot and would occasionally visit the prison to try to take care of her brave companion.

Fortunately...

Lornes's guess was entirely correct.

The medicines that were once used to treat Miss Ling Li did indeed have a significant effect on Lian Lan's body. Although Lian Lan still hadn't woken up, her wounds had healed considerably.

"No wonder Miss Lianlan told me to retreat first. She really does look like one of those tentacle monsters."

Lonnies took a deep breath and, after confirming that Lianlan's condition had stabilized, went to the engine room.

For some reason, an alarm has been going off in the engine compartment lately... but Lonnie carefully checked all the parameters in the cockpit and couldn't find any problems.

Was it due to a gas leak?

Or was it the magic crystal that had an effect?

Just as Lonnies was feeling quite confused and distressed...

"Neigh neigh neigh~~"

"Little Starfish, what happened?"

"Wheele!"

The little silver fish hovered in mid-air, seemingly urging Lonnie to hurry to the lookout tower.

But when she looked, Lonnie was so startled she almost stood on end with her fox tail sticking up.

Because the sea surface in the distance has broken off!

Even during the day, a barrier resembling the aurora borealis can be seen floating at the edge of the field of vision, and behind the aurora, the sea level disappears!

It was as if, in ancient superstition, the earth was flat. It seemed that upon reaching the edge of the world, all the seawater would sink. This sight terrified Lornes, who quickly brought the ship to a stop.

……

"What... what's going on... Right, I heard Elusia say that the Vast Ocean is like a misty, unpredictable region, like a gas giant, where water molecules have dissolved into fog and float in the air."

"Could this be what they mean by this scene? If so, I'll have to activate the Time Shuttle's anti-gravity engine to continue. But how could I possibly pilot it..."

……

Lonnies felt a pang of despair. She had only just gotten used to sailing, but reality had already presented her with such a difficult task.

but……

There's no way out!

Because Lianlan had told her that everyone might have been captured by the Tide Dragon, she had no choice but to move forward.

"Lonnies, you can do it, you definitely can do it... You've already saved the world, saving your wife is nothing special."

……

Lornish is now more "hypnotizing herself" than encouraging herself.

Holding the little fox toy she had snagged with Elusia, along with everyone's slimes, she tried her best to remain calm and composed.

Then, the girl pressed the switch on the anti-gravity engine.

but……

"Huh? W-what's going on?!"

To Lorne's surprise, the ship did not float into the sky, but instead sank deeper and deeper into the sea!

Soon, the bright sky disappeared, replaced by a dark and deep underwater world.

"Oh no, did I press it backwards?! Oh no... I have to lift it up right away."

Lonnie quickly pulled in the opposite direction, but instead of rising, the ship sank deeper and deeper into the sea!

At the same time, an alarm sounded in Lonnie's ears:

"Alarm! Alarm! Anti-gravity device malfunction. Please activate the Special Space Emergency System to maintain normal operation of the anti-gravity device."

"Special Space Emergency System? What is that?!"

"Alarm, alarm..."

"Waaaaah, help!! Elusia, I don't want to die, waaaaaah!!!!!!!!!"

-------------

……

……

With a splash, the Time Shuttle crashed heavily onto the seabed!

For a moment, Lonnie's heart was in her throat. She was afraid that seawater would flood the cabin at any moment and drown her.

But thankfully... nothing happened.

The ship did not issue any other warnings, nor did it automatically activate any systems.

"Anti-gravity system is off. Deep dive mode activated."

……

"Are you alright?"

Lonnie breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the Time Shuttle was sturdy and remained intact despite her antics.

But what should we do next?

Lonnie looked out the window, but the sight that met her eyes stunned the little fox...

Because this seabed is not only covered with many colorful algae, but also has many colonies.

More importantly...

There's even an elevated road at the bottom of the ocean!

Its shape is similar to the highway in Lonnie's memory, except that there are railway tracks in the middle for trains to pass through.

Now, although everything about the rock penguins is submerged on the seabed, the structure of the elevated road appears to be intact. Moreover, it seems to lead to a mysterious direction.

"Did rising sea levels submerge the world of the past? But... I have a feeling it's not that simple..."

Lonnie frowned in distress, but the little starfish circled around her, looking rather excited.

"Huh? Little Starfish...should we...walk along this road?"

"~~"

"So, does that mean I turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise? Hmph, I really am a hero~~ I'm sure nothing bad will happen to me~~"

……

……

Realizing that nothing was wrong, Lonnie relaxed a lot.

She quickly activated the time-traveling machine and traveled along the elevated road on the seabed... And in the vast seabed, Lonnies also discovered traces of some other man-made objects!

For example, some huge gears, whose purpose is unknown.

For example, some six-story concrete buildings have only holes in the glass and doors, and there is no trace of decoration.

For example, some cars and telephone poles that were already covered in rust... after lying on the seabed for so many years, most of them were completely useless. So Lonnie didn't plan to stop the ship to observe them carefully.

The various wondrous objects left Lonnie in awe, and after advancing for about half an hour...

Lonnies finally arrived at the area covered by the aurora.

And something unusual happened before Lonnie's eyes: although she could see that the ground was still solid, the seawater seemed to have been filtered and had become layered.

The light became much brighter, but perhaps due to the misty fog, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making it almost impossible to see anything in the distance.

Vague, indistinct, unknown, and confusing.

The world before her eyes was so mysterious, but fortunately, Lonnie was traveling along the elevated road.

In other words, no matter what, she will not lose her way.

"Are we about to enter the depths of the vast sea? Wait for me, Elusia, and everyone!"

Lonnie steered the boat forward.

Chapter 59 The Exhausted Girl

"If I were to record what I saw and heard, it would probably cause a sensation, right?"

Lonnies took a deep breath and looked around at the scene.

Because, although she was traveling along the elevated road, the scenery around her seemed to have lost its gravity... and everything was floating in the air!

Whether it's the enormous rocks, the colorful seaweed, or even the structures Lonely saw on the seabed earlier, they all resemble this.

They floated slowly like meteorites drifting in space. Lonnie could see a huge skyscraper, its corner peeking out from the thick fog, but both the helipad and the metal staircases were completely destroyed and had drifted away to who knows where.

Driving in such an environment would undoubtedly be extremely difficult, as you would be very worried that the Time Shuttle might accidentally bump into a giant object and cause damage.

But whether it was good luck or something designed in the past, Lonnie was delighted to find that those enormous, weightless objects, though terrifying, did not approach the vicinity of the elevated road.

It seems that as long as I sail close to the ground along the route, there is nothing to worry about.

"Hehe, if Elusia were on the ship, she would be so surprised! She would never have imagined that I'm already this amazing! Not only did I foresee the elevated road on the seabed, but I can also pilot the ship all by myself~~~ Hmph, I really want to see that cunning girl's expression when she's forced to be stubborn and refuse to admit how amazing I am!"

Lonnie proudly raised her tail.

But does that mean that getting carried away with success will lead to punishment?

Lonnie's pride lasted only a few seconds before...

"Neigh!"

The little starfish made a rapid sound, and the time shuttle sounded an alarm:
