[Top Secret Intelligence: Details of the Cooperation Between the Creation Council and the Featherbeak Group]

[1] Intercosmic cooperation
The Featherbeak Pharmaceutical Group in Universe 7, while studying samples of "parasitic putrefactive worms," ​​unexpectedly discovered and mastered a method to open temporary passages to other universes using their properties (humans are required as consumables; combining them with parasitic putrefactive worms can open a one-time temporary passage).

After several rounds of experiments, they successfully made contact with a radical faction in Universe 2 called the "Creation Council" and established a secret strategic partnership.

[2] Technology exchange

The Featherbeak Group provides the Creation Council with a wealth of resources and some unique technological intelligence from Universe 7.

For example, one method is to summon mechs using medals, thereby increasing the number of mech pilots.

Note that this is very likely intelligence they stole from the top echelons of the coalition government through some means.

In return, the Creation Council provides the Featherbeak Group with technologies unique to Universe 2—genetic engineering, biomodification techniques, and methods for applying abyssal energy.

[3] God-Making Project
Featherbeak Group's ultimate ambitions go far beyond mere business competition.

Their plan is to use the cutting-edge technology obtained from the Creation Council, combined with the indescribable and terrifying power of the Abyss, to artificially "create" a being with divine power on Blue Star in Universe 7.

In a doomsday crisis, gain absolute dominance and the right to speak.

They might even replace the coalition government and become the new rulers of Earth.

[3-1] The God-Making Project Phase One: The Resurrection of the Queen of Fusang

……(slightly)--
In short, the mysterious woman killed by Li Zhe was the first-stage experimental subject of their "god-making plan".

Her true identity is Himiko, the Queen of Yamatai, from ancient Japanese legends!
The Featherbeak Group uses some unknown archaeological and esoteric methods.

In an ancient ruin, the remnants of Queen Himiko's soul were found.

They handed the mark over to the Creation Council.

Using the incredible biotechnology of Universe 2, they recreated Himiko's body as a genetically modified young girl and resurrected her.

They are trying to recreate the legendary power of this ancient queen in this way.

They firmly held onto it, using it as the most important piece in their "god-making plan"...

……

After reading the intelligence report, Li Zhe remained silent for a long time.

The enemy was far more insane than he had imagined.

This war with the Abyss was indeed not a simple confrontation between humans and Abyss monsters.

The Featherbeak Group and the Creation Council of Universe 2 are undoubtedly the enemies that need the most vigilance and should be eliminated first.

"Commander, what are your current plans?" Xing's voice broke the silence from the side.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

A cold glint flashed in Li Zhe's eyes.

"If they want to cause trouble, then we'll play along to the end."

"But before that..."

He looked at his maintenance hangar.

All the spoils of this operation lie there quietly.

"First, turn the cards you have into real strength."

Li Zhe currently holds a considerable amount of cards in his hand.

He has now gathered all the materials needed to break through the 7.0 combat power bottleneck.

Two "Dimensional Keys" - [Broken Sword Fragment] and [Light Energy Saber].

Although the true name of the broken sword fragment is still unknown, it cannot unleash its full power.

According to Xing's deduction, using the [Light Energy Saber] as the main material, supplemented by other high-quality materials, can also achieve a breakthrough.

However, the effect may be slightly reduced, and the success rate may also be lower.

The breakthrough can wait for now.

There is something that can be done immediately.

I now possess the perfect material to activate [Steel Soul_YAMATO]—[Himiko's Soul]!
In order to have a stronger ability to protect and fight back in the upcoming storm.

Li Zhe decided to immediately create a second ship spirit!
It adds a reliable comrade to yourself and a dependable sister to Xing.

"Star, prepare for the ceremony."

"Sail the mothership to open waters and activate the highest level of energy shields and signal jamming."

"Yes, Commander." Xing expressed her absolute agreement and immediately began to provide assistance.

Li Zhe took out the Yamato model, an exquisitely crafted ship brimming with a profound sense of history and the spirit of steel, from the maintenance hangar.

And that gleaming, ancient golden light, seemingly containing the rise and fall of an era and the queen's resentment—Himiko's Soul.

Guided by the stars, a solemn and mysterious ship spirit creation ceremony slowly unfolded on the deck of this yacht mothership.

As night falls, the sea becomes as smooth as a mirror, and the stars twinkle.

Li Zhe carefully brought the golden essence closer to the battleship model.

"Go."

he said softly.

It felt like saying goodbye to an old friend, or welcoming a new life.

"Forget past grievances, and fight for a new mission with a brand new identity!"

The spirit seemed to hear his call.

It emitted a soft buzzing sound.

It transformed into a stream of light and instantly merged into the model.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhe extended his finger.

He channeled his purest muscle and armor energy, like the gentlest stream, into it.

"Buzz!!!!"

The battleship model burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
Amidst the light, the model's volume continuously expanded and reorganized, emitting a "click-clack" mechanical deformation sound, as if a real warship was being built.

Finally, when the light faded.

A massive, brand-new battleship appeared before Li Zhe!
Multiple rivetings and steam-dried steel, massive warships and giant cannons!
That legendary battleship has been resurrected in a brand new form!

Just as Li Zhe was holding his breath and admiring the battleship...

"call--"

A delicate fragrance wafted over me, and a few cherry blossoms drifted down from nowhere.

A young girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit with a classic Japanese style quietly appeared in front of Li Zhe.

She has long, smooth, and lustrous black hair, like a black waterfall.

The hair is styled in a princess cut, with the long hair tied into a low ponytail at the back of the head.

It is wrapped in washi paper and tied with fine white and red silk threads.

A pair of deep, obsidian-like eyes, with an innate air of scrutiny and authority, quietly observed this unfamiliar world.

At her waist hung an ancient yet ornate katana.

She exuded an aura of nobility and majesty, like a queen ruling the world.

Her temperament is completely different from Xing's coolness and purity, yet equally captivating.

The girl slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes immediately fell on Li Zhe.

In those eyes, a hint of scrutiny and majesty, befitting a queen, first flashed.

But soon, it was replaced by a nascent sense of confusion and an instinctive dependence.

She bowed slightly to Li Zhe.

A heavenly, melodious voice rang in Li Zhe's ears:

"Yamato-type warships, Ichiban ships, Yamato. Push the して ginseng ります! Ask おう, あなたがわたしのAdmiral か?" (Excuse me, are you my admiral?)

"Speak Chinese."

"Yes, Admiral! Yamato will obey your orders."

"Don't call me Admiral, call me Commander," Li Zhe said solemnly.

"Change your name."

From now on, your name will be... Kazuko!
