Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Flying Dragon shook his hand sullenly and sat down on the spot.

……

Compared to Black Dragon's vague questions, Mio and the other two were much more professional. They didn't mention the development of history, but instead focused all their questions on Black Dragon, such as her state after completing the experiment, her subsequent growth, whether she showed any uncontrollable violent tendencies, and various details of her life, making it seem like they were diagnosing a patient.

Black Dragon wasn't sure if her condition was normal, but judging from the satisfied expressions that Mio and the cat-eared girl occasionally showed, she probably hadn't gone astray.

"The growth potential of ships is greater than that of humans and other creatures. No wonder the Observer has been secretly guiding humans to anthropomorphize ships."

"Let's focus our future experiments on ships, with other organisms as secondary subjects."

"The birth of consciousness is very important and requires strict parameter control. The energy intensity should perhaps be appropriately reduced to avoid damaging the emerging consciousness."

"The transmission of memories is also important; at least we can't end up like this guy."

Black Flying Dragon sat cross-legged not far from the two sisters. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt as if she was being looked down upon again.

Listening to their conversation, she thought of Sakura Empire, whose world had been invaded by the Sirens. She wondered what had happened to it, when she would be able to go back, and why Avira had sent her here.

Thinking this, Black Dragon couldn't help but sigh.

Before long, the two sisters finished their discussion and returned to Black Dragon.

"Next, we will observe and complete your life structure. We hope you can cooperate."

"That's what the cat-eared girl said very bluntly."

"What part of the structure am I missing?"

Black Flying Dragon retorted.

She was actually aware that the part that others had but she didn't was a design flaw.

"Regarding the functional aspect, analysis of your combat growth data shows that you were hastily designed and then thrown into a battlefield with extremely harsh conditions, so your combat performance is outstanding, while other more auxiliary functions have not been fully developed."

The cat-eared girl answered.

"What impact will it have on me after I complete it?"

Black Flying Dragon nodded, "This analysis is indeed reasonable."

"It's too early to say for sure, but it's at least better than what you're doing now."

"Well... I guess you could say this is a second modification."

Black Flying Dragon felt like a patient in front of this little thing, terminally ill and about to need surgery.

"Hmm? You could say that. Is there a weapon you want? Since you're my sister's creation, it wouldn't be unreasonable to make an exception and let you decorate it."

The cat-eared girl looked very reluctant.

Black Dragon found it rather strange that the Sirens of this era possessed weapons even more powerful than the ones she carried.

"Was New Jersey born at this point in time?"

Black Dragon asked somewhat casually.

Who is that?

The cat-eared girl turned her head to look at Mio beside her.

"It's a battleship from the White Eagles, right? I haven't heard anything about it being anthropomorphized yet."

Mio thought for a moment and then gave an answer.

"So how much sea area have you occupied?"

Black Dragon was even more puzzled. New Jersey was active more than ten years before she traveled back in time. At that time, New Jersey was invincible. However, New Jersey has not yet appeared, but this side has already mastered the technology of reverse-engineering the birth of meta ships. Why is New Jersey's record so invincible?

"A tiny bit in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Seeing the black dragon's subtle expression, the cat-eared girl kicked her leg in annoyance.

"Something feels off. Could you show me the historical process of this world?"

Black Dragon spread his hands, looking somewhat innocent.

Why did the topic get so far off? We were just...

They're discussing renovations!

The cat-eared girl couldn't stand the black dragon's erratic thinking and cried out in dissatisfaction.

"No rush, here you go."

Mio pulled the cat-eared girl aside and swiped a screen for Black Dragon to observe.

Black Dragon took the screen and checked it. She immediately looked up the history of World War II and found that it was similar to the world she lived in, except that the records here were more detailed. Then she found the date of the birth of the ship girl, which was exactly thirty years ago today, when the Eagle Union's Enterprise was anthropomorphized and announced to the public.

"Um, I want to make sure that my transformation won't fail, right?"

Black Flying Dragon seemed to have thought of something and looked at the two people in front of him with some unease.

"Huh? Are you looking down on us?"

The cat-eared girl immediately bristled, baring her teeth and glaring at the black dragon.

"Rest assured, this modification is not very intensive and will not fail."

Mio was also taken aback, then smiled.

"Alright then, shall we begin now?"

Black Flying Dragon hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Mio's answer.

"Research should naturally be conducted as quickly as possible."

"Indeed, let's begin."

Black Flying Dragon stood up.

After the discussion, the three left the boundless space and arrived at a large experimental base that had been transformed from an island. Although somewhat reluctant, Black Dragon eventually walked into the glass jars filled with nutrient solution.

Late that night, an unprecedented riot broke out in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, with the fighting stretching for hundreds of nautical miles.

The cause of the uprising is still unknown, but according to human history, the Sirens accelerated their invasion afterward, gradually approaching the coastal land.

Chapter Thirty-One: History Always Repeats Itself

Tosa has lost control.

This was the first thing Mio said after Black Dragon was forcibly awakened.

Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard a series of explosions outside the room. When she went out to check, she found that the base had been almost completely destroyed.

Then Mio explained the situation to her. It turned out that the two sisters had noticed from the beginning that Black Dragon was carrying another meta ship, so they secretly moved Tosa out while Black Dragon was losing consciousness in order to observe it.

What they didn't expect was that Tosa, who had been obediently changing environments in the Black Dragon's mirror space, went berserk as soon as he woke up, destroying their experimental space and launching an attack on all visible life.

Why didn't you discuss this with me sooner?

Black Flying Dragon didn't know what expression to make for a moment, so he could only get dressed, leave Mio in the lab, and chase after her.

Perhaps awakened by her instinct to kill the Sirens, Tosa Issaku's elegance during her duel with Black Dragon transformed into a ruthless killing machine. By the time Black Dragon found her, several large experimental bases had already been destroyed, and the wreckage of the Sirens was scattered throughout the sea, with smoke billowing everywhere.

The Tosa, who had gone completely berserk, was terrifyingly violent. The fire burned until the morning of the next day before Tosa's consciousness regained control of the body.

Amidst the ruins, Tosa floated on the water, with Black Flying Dragon standing beside her. In the distance lay the charred remains of warships and innocent islands.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Tosa closed her eyes. She didn't know what she had done after losing control, but she could guess what had happened.

"It was my carelessness, let's go."

Black Flying Dragon also looked helpless, bent down and pulled Tosa out of the water and carried him on his shoulder.

Is this your world?

Tosa, keeping pace with the black dragon, asked in a low voice.

"No, this is a world whose history is similar to that of my world, but completely different."

Black Flying Dragon shook his head.

While reviewing the data last night, she discovered that this world was not the one she was born into. The most obvious difference was that this Earth was smaller than the one she was born into; otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily agreed to conduct the experiment.

She just didn't expect the Mio sisters to be so curious that they actually pulled Tosa out of her world. She tried to wake Tosa with the intention of being killed. The two sisters were really too careless.

With that in mind, she explained the situation to Tosa.

I thought Tosa would be very angry or disappointed, after all, she was now colluding with the Sirens - her future enemy. But to my surprise, Tosa just joked, "You're so popular."

"Cooperation with the Sirens is nothing new. Even before I became like this, there were already people within the camp who had connections with the Sirens, but they just hadn't been able to acquire the core technology."

Tosa saw through Black Flying Dragon's confusion and gave a very calm explanation.

"is that so."

Black Flying Dragon felt that Tosa's experiences might be even more exciting than hers.

Not long after, Black Flying Dragon brought Tosa back to the laboratory, where only Mio was waiting for her.

"Um, your sister?"

Black Flying Dragon was slightly alarmed. Could Tosa have killed that little thing?

"Don't worry, she just felt you were too dangerous, so she left."

Mio shook her head slightly.

Black Flying Dragon breathed a sigh of relief. If that little thing hadn't been gone, then her trip would have truly changed history.

Mio's lips curled up as she looked at Tosa beside her: "Even though your body is out of control, you still retain some consciousness. You must be very unwilling to accept this."

Tosa hummed softly.

He ignored Mio's question.

She apologized to the Black Dragon purely because she felt she had caused him trouble, but when facing the Sirens, she wouldn't feel there was anything wrong with her actions no matter how many she killed.

Mio didn't pay any attention and turned to walk into the still-operating laboratory.

"Our core database records that the loss of control over meta is irreversible. Although you are conscious now, your conscious time will become shorter and shorter over time until it is completely out of control."
