Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

Lu Chen snapped his fingers.

Everything in front of me stopped instantly.

Elmelia's surprised expression froze on her face. The children running around her, the pedestrians and vendors on the street, and the entire city of Komag all pressed the freeze button in an instant.

The originally bustling town suddenly fell into deathly silence.

It was not until this time that Rita discovered a clue.

"Is this a man-made illusion?!"

"No, that's not right. This illusion is completely realistic. Even the senses of touch, taste, and smell are completely constructed? It...it's almost materialized?!"

"Yes."

Ellie nodded.

"I thought this place was weird from the moment I discovered it."

"Theoretically, there's a very powerful beast here, but she's not like the other beasts who would attack us crazily."

"She has been staying in this self-woven fantasy world, repeating the same life day after day."

The individual "beasts" seemed very weak to the train crew, but five hundred years later, the illusion woven by Elmeria was enough to confuse reality and illusion.

Many people didn't notice it at first.

"What is she doing here?"

Rita gripped the sickle tightly and did not let her guard down.

"Obsession."

Lu Chen replied.

"After the decisive battle with the Star God, humanity's transformation into beasts is inevitable."

"Elmeria was the first human to be transformed into one of the Seventeen Beasts during that disaster. When she became a beast, she had a strong desire in her heart: to wait for her father to return."

"This desire prompted her to devour all the residents of Komag City into her enchanted world, and for the next five hundred years, she would continue to perform and repeat the final days before the end of humanity."

"She is also the only human who has retained some self-awareness in her beast transformation. If nothing is done, this illusion will continue indefinitely."

Swah——

He clicked a few times on the holographic interface and located a position.

"Elmeria's true form is beneath Komag. She is the most special of all the beasts."

"Elbow, bring her and Eluko home, and our mission will be accomplished."

(Pictured is Elmelia).

Snapped--

In the stagnant time and space, everyone walked on the road of Koumage.

This place perfectly reproduces the appearance of 500 years ago before the extinction of mankind. Every street, every building, and every person are exactly the same as they were then.

"Are we in a dream now, or in reality?"

Chtholly was a little dazed. She touched the bread placed outside by the vendor, and it still felt warm and soft.

"Something in between."

Lu Chen replied.

"Elmeria's will was too strong. At first, this place was probably just an illusion. Over the course of hundreds of years, it gradually began to materialize, becoming something between reality and illusion."

"Oh……"

Ai Li, Rita and others were amazed by what they heard.

Compared to those strange-looking beasts that want to attack people when they see them, the beasts that are autistic and maintain the illusion here are indeed unique.

"Then... can outsiders live here forever?"

Nevlen asked an even stranger question.

"No, although everything here has condensed into a physical entity, your food, clothing, shelter, transportation, food, drink, and entertainment can all be solved."

"But the time in Koma City is not continuous. It only depicts the period before the end of the world."

Lu Chen cleared his throat and clapped his hands again.

Swah——

The surrounding time and space began to flow, but this time, everyone was isolated from this illusion.

Although they were standing on the street, they no longer interacted with anything here, and the people in the illusion would no longer notice them.

hum...

The city has regained its vitality and vigor, and continues to live a peaceful life day after day.

The sounds of vendors shouting, prayers, and fighting could be heard one after another.

As time flows at an accelerated pace, the sun rises and sets, day after day passes.

Until one afternoon.

As the sun sets, disaster suddenly befalls the city.

click-

Almost instantly, when the fragments of the Star God lost their effectiveness, the beast transformation occurred.

The pedestrians and vendors on the street, regardless of gender, age or status, had a thin layer of fluorescent light scattered on their bodies, and then they became distorted and deformed.

Some grew extra limbs, some became extremely bloated, and in the blink of an eye they expanded into giant beast-like monsters.

At first there were bursts of screams and cries for help in the city. The humans who had turned into "beasts" had lost all their sanity and were frantically hunting and attacking the remaining survivors.

The merchant who had just handed him the apple turned into a giant worm and swallowed the customer in front of the stall in one bite.

The priest in the church turned into a multi-legged beetle and used his mouthparts and huge pincers to dismember the wailing believers.

The survivors hiding in the rooms and basements also underwent mutations one after another, and the people around them turned into monsters one after another.

They roared and tore apart the remaining humans, destroyed cities, and exterminated all living things they could see.

Kouma was burned in the raging fire and consumed.

Finally it turned into ruins and was buried in yellow sand.

"what……"

"This is the true history of Komag..."

Chtholly opened her mouth.

Just like the thousands of human cities on the ground, when the Star God fragments lose their effectiveness, the end of mankind is inevitable.

Every city will face its own destruction.

However, she still hadn't reacted.

Swah——

It was as if time and space were flowing backwards and everything was blurred before my eyes.

The city returned to its original appearance.

The sounds of children playing and laughing, and vendors shouting came one after another. The pastor who had just turned into a monster was preaching to his believers, and the vendors at the fruit stalls were bargaining hard with customers.

Everything seemed so peaceful and normal, as if nothing had happened.

"!!!"

Rita, Raven, and the others looked around in shock.

"Understood?"

"In Elmeria's illusion, Komagu will continue to recreate the history before its demise."

Lu Chen patted the people who were staring in a daze.

"Over the past five hundred years, this cycle has occurred hundreds, thousands of times. If left alone, it will continue to repeat itself."

"Elmeria didn't know about spaceships, nor did she know about humanity's complete transformation into beasts. She also had no knowledge of fairies, floating continents, or the Chamber of Commerce, because all that knowledge came from the future."

"Her illusion can only interpret the history she knows."

"hiss……"

After sighing for a while, everyone set off again.

Pass through the Komagu complex and go down along a secret passage.

Soon, they arrived at some strange underground ruins.

It is located directly below the city and has an area of ​​over a thousand square meters hollowed out.

There are some sacrificial objects and stone pillars scattered around, and their original appearance can no longer be recognized due to the erosion of time.

In the center is a huge crystal pillar, with countless faces emerging from the pillar.

Some of those faces were laughing, some were crying, some were happy, some were sad, some were angry, some were afraid, and they were all singing at the same time.

Approximately in the middle of the column, a crystal statue modeled after the upper body of a young girl emerges.

Her appearance was identical to that of Elmelia seen in the illusion, and her body was like a statue extending from the bow of a ship.

"Elmelia!!"

Everyone was shocked.

As you approach the crystal pillar, you can hear the face sealed inside and her voice softly singing a beautiful song.

You can't make out their language, they don't belong to humans or any known species, yet one can't help but want to be intoxicated by them.

"what……"

Chtholly and Nephrine were in a trance and reached out to touch the stone pillar, but were stopped by Lu Chen.

"Stop, do you want to become a part of her too?"

"ah!--"

The two were startled, came to their senses and shook their heads.

"Commander, what is this?..."

“That’s her ability.”

Lu Chen wasn't too surprised.

"As the original beast, Elmeria's ability is to use her song to draw souls into her dream world."

"She will use her mental manipulation abilities to make those drawn into the dream world addicted to it, causing them to lose their memories and identities. This will continue until the outsider's soul is absorbed by the illusion, and the energy of their body is completely drained, turning them into a part of this place."

He knocked on the crystal pillar.

"She devoured the entire Komaq. No wonder this illusion has become so powerful now."

If ordinary people continue to live in the city of Koumage, sooner or later their souls and memories will be absorbed by the illusion and assimilated into a part of it.

However, the train crew's capabilities were obviously too advanced for the illusion, and Ellie noticed something unusual the moment she stepped in.

Lu Chenguang's mere appearance there caused the entire space to become unstable.

"..."

The Moon-Sighing Beast murmured and let out a roar. The sound waves swept through the entire underground space, and the ground shook a few times.

She seemed to be warning the invaders, but also seemed a little confused.

I don’t know why a stranger could break through the illusion and find me.

Lu Chen placed one hand on the stone pillar and applied gentle force.

Swah——
