Crossing the azure as a black dragon

The second ship girl to be successfully meta-transformed appeared in front of Black Dragon.

Seemingly hearing the Black Dragon's voice, Black Enterprise extended her left hand and made a grasping motion, and a mechanical longbow appeared in her hand. After aiming at the Black Dragon, she placed her right hand on the bowstring and drew it back, and a silver energy arrow began to form. At the same time, the space around Black Enterprise began to distort.

Whoosh!

The moment the silver arrow was fired, the distorted space around it acted like a wall, crashing into the black dragon at an extremely fast speed.

After firing the arrow, Black Enterprise's longbow dissipated into the air. Turning his head to look at the dragon swooping down from the sky, he slightly bent his knees and jumped up, colliding with the dragon like a meteor. With a thud, the collision between the man and the beast created a huge shockwave that spread outwards.

At the moment of the mid-air collision, the arrows on the sea surface also made contact with the black dragon. However, the black dragon did not adopt a defensive posture. The silver arrows crashed into an invisible wall, and the sound of shattering glass rang out. The distorted space gradually returned to calm after crushing over the black dragon's protective shield.

"Terrible, gotta run!"

Black Flying Dragon took a breath, and the moment the space returned to normal, he drew another long sword with his left hand and slashed it, disappearing into the tunnel, leaving only Black Enterprise battling Longlong in the air.

……

"Wow, is New Jersey really going to die? This black corporation kills people without blinking an eye."

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Black Flying Dragon moved forward slowly, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.

In the instant they exchanged blows, she sensed that this person's strength was terrifying. With just one punch, he bent her cherry blossom sword. If it had been an ordinary knife, it would probably have broken, and she would have been punched in the chest and died on the spot.

"Why am I so weak, even though we're both meta-transformed ship girls?"

Black Flying Dragon used both hands to forcefully bend the Cherry Blossom Blade back to its original shape, and for the first time, he began to doubt the path he was about to take.

"No, no, the question should be: why is this company so strong?"

Feeling her resolve wavering, Black Dragon shook her head vigorously and began to ponder the reasons for the growing gap between her and Black Enterprise.

"I absorbed the energy of the rampaging dragon, which greatly improved my physical fitness. If I absorbed energy from a few more, I might not be able to catch up with this black company."

Black Dragon thought for a moment and concluded that this Black Enterprise must have been fighting in this space for a long time, and its energy had surpassed his own, which then fed back into his body and resulted in a complete crushing defeat.

"Damn, does that mean New Jersey is doomed?"

After figuring it out, Black Flying Dragon's expression immediately turned pained.

If New Jersey is gone, there's no reason why the group of people who went with them can survive. If she can't find them, how is she going to go back and explain herself?

Despite the pain, the search continued, and the Black Flying Dragon, with its detection capabilities fully activated, began rampaging across the sea.

"Something's not right. I can't absorb the energy leaked out by these Sirens at all. Is something wrong?"

After running for hundreds of miles, Black Flying Dragon stopped and looked at the corpse of the mechanical bird at her feet. Energy was dissipating around the corpse, and she had no way to gather that energy back to herself.

"Is it another design flaw?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned, and had no choice but to push the problem onto Mio.

As he pondered, Black Dragon's ears suddenly perked up, and he looked seriously at the distant sky, where the dragon's energy reaction was rapidly approaching.

This is a very bad sign. Even if she uses stealth mode, a Siren of Longlong's level can still detect her. If even Longlong can detect her, there's no way Black Enterprise wouldn't know.

Soon, the massive body of the mechanical dragon appeared on the horizon. The black dragon's expression changed drastically, and it turned and tore through space to escape.

In the blink of an eye, the black dragon appeared a hundred miles away, but she didn't stop and traversed again.

After traversing five times in a row, the black dragon finally stopped to catch its breath.

"What is this dragon thinking?"

Black Flying Dragon looked around at her surroundings with some annoyance. In that one glance, she saw Black Enterprise being bitten by Longlong. Why was this dragon carrying things home like a dog?

After finishing his brief discussion, Black Dragon began processing the intelligence feedback he hadn't had time to handle earlier, processing all the information within 600 nautical miles in one go.

Even she struggled with the intelligence, taking more than ten minutes to process it completely.

Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss.

During her third trip, she seemed to have set the wrong exit, causing her to deviate significantly from her intended direction. At the edge of her field of vision after the deviation, a large number of floating ice floes appeared.

"Could there be other experimental subjects in this space?"

Black Flying Dragon rubbed his temples, forcing himself to process and think about the information he had obtained.

The presence of floating ice indicates the possible presence of icy or snowy weather nearby. For such an isolated space to have multiple climates, it would certainly require equipment for regulation.

"If that's the case, there must be at least one spire over there, and if we're lucky, we might encounter other test subjects."

After forcing himself to analyze the situation, Black Dragon came to the above conclusion.

"The fog around the spire can block our detection. Let's find a place to rest for a while."

Having reached a conclusion, the black dragon adjusted its direction and carved out space.

She had used up a lot of energy floating on the sea, and she needed a safe place to rest.

After several detours, the Black Dragon arrived at a world covered in ice and snow. Thick blocks of ice stretched across the sea, making it impossible to cross.

So, Black Flying Dragon put away its ship equipment, picked up its temporarily 'repaired' cherry blossom sword, and set foot on this icy land.

"so cold."

Black Dragon tied his long sword, still sheathed, to his waist and walked on the ice, rubbing his hands together.

She had two purposes for this trip. The first was to find the group in New Jersey, and the second was to find the Sirens' research base. Even if she didn't find a place to rest, she still wanted to search the area thoroughly.

"Tsk."

After taking two steps, Black Flying Dragon unfolded her ship equipment. The immense weight allowed her to break through the ice beneath her feet and step onto the water's surface.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen reconnaissance planes appeared in the sky and began to circle and investigate, while Black Dragon himself crawled out of the broken ice.

The buildings in this world are impossible to find using detection methods; it's better to use reconnaissance aircraft to observe them.

"Tirpitz said he would take me to the Northern Union to see the permafrost. How is it any different from here?"

Through the reconnaissance aircraft, Black Dragon saw the plains covered in ice and snow, and the beautiful, towering snow-capped mountains.

It's a pity that such a beautiful place has no life at all.

'Boom! '

Suddenly, a dull thud was heard in the distance, carrying far away.

"..."

Black Flying Dragon gritted her teeth. She saw the dragon's energy reaction again. The sound just now was from it crashing into a snow mountain. The reconnaissance plane had already seen the mountain peak where the avalanche had occurred. It was very spectacular from the air and could engulf everything.

"Wait, what about the shady company?"

Seeing Longlong rolling around in the snow, Black Flying Dragon suddenly became alert.

In the blink of an eye, a hand landed on the black dragon's shoulder.

Almost simultaneously, Black Dragon suddenly bent down and slid forward a short distance, holding up the scabbard with his left hand and drawing his sword with his right hand, turning around and slashing.

Clang!

A mechanical longbow was clashed against Black Dragon's longsword, with Black Enterprise holding the longbow looking down at Black Dragon.

Why did you attack us?

Black Flying Dragon looked at the indifferent Black Enterprise and shouted a question.

"You are the one who is asking why you're with a human ship girl."

As the black company spoke, it forcefully flicked its hand, sending the black flying dragon flying.

"hateful."

The black dragon, which had been launched into the air, adjusted its posture and glided a considerable distance on the ice, keeping a close eye on the black enterprise.

"No matter how much they struggle, the outcome is already predetermined; humanity in this world is beyond saving."

The black company didn't force them over; it simply stood there calmly and communicated with the black dragon.

"Perhaps, I never thought I could save humanity."

Black Flying Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and met Black Enterprise's gaze.

"Then who are you fighting for?"

The shady business owner asked in a low voice.

"Of course I'm fighting for myself. I don't want to end up all alone."

Black Flying Dragon stared at Black Enterprise, but her attention was focused on Longlong. She knew she couldn't beat Black Enterprise, so Longlong could probably help hold them off.

"Is that so? If you have someone you want to protect, then don't look away. Some things can start and end in an instant."

The black company's expression remained unchanged, but its words were like those of a senior instructing a junior.

"Who...are you?"

Black Dragon was taken aback. She had thought that Black Enterprise was born after her, but the information revealed in her words made her seem more like a pioneer.

Who was the first ship girl in human history?

The black-market company retorted.

"It's a White Eagle company."

Black Dragon quickly gave an answer, and his gaze toward Black Enterprise changed slightly.

"Yes, she is a success, and I am a failure, an existence that should have died, a remnant of history."

The black company said calmly.

Chapter 110 The Temptation of Choice

"A failed product?"

Hearing what Black Enterprise said, Black Dragon's expression became somewhat subtle, and for a moment he wondered if this person was in Versailles.

"You should understand that with our current level of application of Rubik's Cube technology, we are simply not at the same level as you."

The black-market company closed its eyes and shook its head slightly.

"That's true, I understand."
