Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Dragon's eyes flickered slightly, and the conditions for triggering the explosion changed instantly.

"--"

The bomb exploded, but no sound was heard. A black hole the size of a basketball appeared at the center of the explosion. Everything around it silently turned into dust and was swallowed by the hole. The huge suction force even pulled the seawater, and the sea around the island formed a whirlpool hundreds of meters high under the pull of this force.

The black hole was slowly expanding, and its influence on the surrounding area was getting stronger. Even the Black Flying Dragon, which was several nautical miles away, felt something pulling at her.

"Outrageous."

After uttering two words, Black Dragon turned and left without hesitation.

Chapter 81 Exploration

Once the bomb's impact subsided, the Black Dragon reappeared where the island had originally been. The island, which had been reduced to ruins, vanished from the world due to the bomb's devastation.

What kind of bomb was that?

Black Flying Dragon frowned. She had just witnessed the entire explosion of the bomb through the reconnaissance plane. The entire island was shattered by the crater created by the bomb, and just looking at it was terrifying.

Moreover, she couldn't understand why the Sirens would put something like this here. Was it to prevent other people from getting close to that space?

"eccentric."

Shaking his head slightly, Black Dragon put the bomb issue aside and looked up at the peculiar space. After the island disappeared, the spatial fluctuations became very obvious. Even without the assistance of the new ship equipment, Black Dragon could sense that something was wrong here.

The island looked as if someone had deliberately placed it there to block the passage.

"Let me see what's hidden inside."

After observing, the Black Dragon drew its cherry blossom sword. The entire blade emitted specks of blue stardust. The Black Dragon had absorbed one-third of the energy from the berserk dragon next door, and the remaining two-thirds were absorbed by this sword. Such a massive amount of energy, yet this sword was able to absorb and utilize it without any loss, which was truly terrifying.

Black Dragon is certain that this sword was personally crafted by Mio from this world, just like the new ship equipment left to her by Mio from another world. It did not suffer much damage during the previous attack by space-based weapons.

and many more.

Black Flying Dragon pondered for a moment, realizing that everything he was wearing, except for his clothes, was given to him by Mio. From a human perspective, Mio's role was probably that of his mother.

Suddenly I have a mother?

Black Dragon's mood suddenly became complicated.

Soon, Black Flying Dragon put aside his random thoughts, stepped closer to the fluctuating space, and thrust his long sword forward, half of the blade disappearing into the air.

After confirming that the cherry blossom blade could open the door, the black dragon slashed up and down, creating a tunnel large enough for an adult to pass through.

"The walls are very thick?"

Black Dragon was somewhat surprised, as she thought that tearing open this place would lead to another dimension, but she didn't pay much attention and stepped directly into the tunnel.

Suddenly, everything blurred before his eyes, and the once boundless sea disappeared, replaced by a huge island in front of the Black Dragon. The island was rich in vegetation and biological resources. With his excellent eyesight, the Black Dragon immediately spotted the black spire standing upright in the very center of the island. A light gray mist surrounded the spire, obscuring its lower half, leaving only the top part visible.

The black dragon looked down at the sea, which was crystal clear and teeming with marine life. Looking up, it saw a sun hanging in the center of the sky, its dazzling light illuminating the entire world.

"That's amazing."

Black Dragon was amazed. She instinctively sensed that this was an imperfect space, but since it was able to support life, it could already be considered an independent world.

Suppressing her thoughts of going to the Spire for research, Black Dragon reached out and released a reconnaissance aircraft. She had come to find someone; if the Sirens discovered that she had left that world, they might attack Sakura Harbor again, and time was of the essence.

As the reconnaissance plane took off, the surrounding situation came into full view. Apart from the spire, there were no other buildings on the island in front of them, and there were no signs of sirens or ship girls on the surrounding sea.

Stepping around the island, the Black Dragon chose a direction and began to probe. According to Avira, many monsters were imprisoned here. Although she was not afraid, it wouldn't hurt to be cautious.

As she moved forward, the map of this world gradually lit up, and a large number of islands came into the reconnaissance aircraft's view. However, she soon discovered an unusual area.

The seawater in that area was no longer clear, but rather a pale gray color. When it met the azure sea, the boundary was so thin that reconnaissance planes in the high sky dared not get too close and could only hover at the edge, with little to show for their efforts.

"Is there a monster in here? How terrifying."

The black dragon stood outside the dividing line, gazing into the distance. It wasn't just the seawater that was polluted; even the islands inside were barren, clearly caused by energy erosion.

After a brief stop, Black Dragon set off again. Half an hour later, she arrived near a vast continent covered in vegetation. However, as soon as her reconnaissance plane entered the continental area, it was shot down by something unknown. Losing contact, it tumbled and landed in the forest, where a flash of fire appeared and then quickly went out.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon paused for a moment, then turned and left. Her mobility on land was greatly reduced, and she probably couldn't beat what was here.

We encountered two monsters of unknown appearance in succession, and they both seemed to be territorial. If they were released outside, they could very well form a so-called restricted area, especially the one on the shore. If it attacked a land city, it would be a disaster.

So why are these monsters locked up in such a separate space?

Black Dragon pondered to himself.

Having left the mainland, the Black Dragon sailed through the oceans of this world, while the sun in the sky remained hanging in the center, without moving an inch.

'Roar! '

Suddenly, a roar came from the distant horizon, even forming a sonic attack. The sea began to tremble, and some fish were affected and died, floating to the surface.

The black dragon was also affected, but the aftershocks had no effect on her. However, the creature making such a sound caught her attention. The sound indicated that the creature was fighting. Could the monsters here also attack each other?

With this in mind, the black dragon began to move toward the creature, and the reconnaissance planes also began to consciously move closer to it. Unfortunately, one of the reconnaissance planes, which was already very close, was shattered and crashed.

"We have combat capability, functionality, and robust ship equipment, but our carrier-based aircraft are too weak. How about we ask Mio to help me build a set of dedicated carrier-based aircraft?"

As he traveled, Black Flying Dragon pondered his own strengths and weaknesses.

She's an aircraft carrier, after all; how can she be stronger in close combat than in ranged combat?

How can I say that?

Suddenly, a figure flashed into the reconnaissance plane's line of sight. It was a humanoid figure on an island not far from her, and it appeared to be a woman.

"An unexpected bonus?"

Black Flying Dragon's eyes flickered slightly. Two reconnaissance planes nearby began to circle high above the island, taking in the entire situation. The woman made no attempt to hide, strolling on the beach and occasionally bending down to pick up fish that had washed ashore but were not quite dead.

Seemingly because the reconnaissance plane was making too much noise, the woman looked up, glanced at it, and then turned and ran into a cave in the distance.

"Who?"

Black Dragon recalled the feedback from the reconnaissance plane. A head of light purple hair long enough to wrap around her ankles was definitely not human. It must be a ship girl she didn't recognize.

Chapter 82 Little Wolf Dog

Two hours after entering this space, Black Dragon finally found a figure that resembled a ship girl. Even if he didn't recognize her, he had to go up and ask her. What if it was her?

Abandoning its search for the roaring creature, the black dragon landed on the island and arrived at the beach where the woman had been found.

"Thank goodness we made it through, otherwise we would have wasted who knows how much more time."

Finding the person relieved Black Dragon a lot. After all, there were so many monsters here, and it would have been a pity if this ship girl had been killed by the monsters if we had arrived late.

Following the specially left path, Black Flying Dragon arrived at the cave entrance and immediately spotted the girl sitting on a rock, deep in thought.

"you…"

Just as Black Flying Dragon was about to speak, the girl stopped him with a gesture.

"No need to say anything, I know you've come to pick me up. How's the fighting outside?"

The girl stood up from the rock, her tall figure even slightly taller than the black dragon. She wore a sky-blue combat suit, and her tone was slightly heavy.

"Um, let me ask you first, what year did you join?"

Black Flying Dragon pondered for a moment and then asked.

The girl paused for a moment, then said a year.

"After you came in, the White Eagle suffered a crushing defeat, and only recently finished its civil war."

Black Flying Dragon shook his head and said.

"Huh?? You're not kidding me, are you? I've only been here for a year, how come there's already an internal conflict?"

New Jersey stared wide-eyed, not believing Black Dragon's words.

"A year? Thirteen years have passed outside."

Black Dragon was also shocked; the time difference was astonishing.

"Ten...thirteen years? Damn it, time has been running wild without my knowledge! I'm practically an old man now!"

Upon hearing Black Dragon's words, New Jersey seemed to lose all strength, collapsing to his knees in a "orz" posture, muttering under his breath.

"Ahem, it's a bit late. My name is Black Dragon, a meta-evolution of Dragon. I'm here to take you back."

Black Flying Dragon coughed lightly. This old senior's personality was a bit eccentric.

"Hmph, even after thirteen years, White Eagle still needs me. There's nothing we can do. Let's go."

It's unclear what kind of emotional turmoil he experienced, but New Jersey stood up from the ground, his hands supporting his chest, the blue and white trench coat draped over his shoulders billowing in the wind.

"Um…"

Black Dragon wanted to tell White Eagle that she had already decided you were dead, but considering the old woman's capacity to bear it, she chose not to say it.

The two walked out of the cave. Black Flying Dragon looked up and gazed into the distance. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like something was watching her from there.

"Hurry up, that little wolfhound over there seems to have spotted us."

New Jersey, on the other hand, reacted calmly and quickly walked towards the beach.

"Little wolfhound?"

Black Dragon followed New Jersey, watching the black shadow gradually appear in the distance. Judging by its height, it was probably over thirty meters high. Was this what they called a little wolfhound?

"What's wrong? Isn't she quite cute?"

New Jersey was somewhat puzzled.

"No, never mind. Have you ever fought that thing?"

Black Dragon wanted to complain, but he held back.

"We fought once, and I was completely outmatched."

New Jersey shrugged in response.

"I see. I'd like to give it a try and help me out."

Black Dragon pondered for a moment. The fact that the creature in New Jersey could run away after a fight meant that the unknown creature in front of him didn't have overwhelming strength.

"Well, let's go."
