Once an armor is attracted by this spiritual power, it will voluntarily sign a contract with it. As long as this spiritual power appears, they will rely on RX-02 to fight.
For example, Destiny Sirius felt that Sirius was very much to his liking, so he took the initiative to attach himself to RX-02 without saying a word. Xia Bai's mental power was just a medium of communication, and the ship girl was the main body.
At a higher level are the Gods of Glory. They have their own emotions and will compare the degree of compatibility of mental power in detail. The God of Glory was attracted by the feelings of Sheffield and Xia Bai, and thus possessed them.
The mechas above, in addition to requiring a huge mental link as a communication medium, also have strange restrictions. The terminal king that Xia Bai is looking for at the moment is such a case.
When in Sakura Empire, Xia Bai once communicated with the King of Terminal in the sea of consciousness, but was rejected. The reason was simple. At that time, Xia Bai did not carry its heart and did not know what he really wanted.
"found it!"
Seeing the dark stars, Xia Bai was delighted and swam towards them using his hands and feet, dodging other mechas that wanted to sign a contract with him along the way.
After Xia Bai touched the stars, he was enveloped by black light. When he opened his eyes again, he came to a pitch-black space. He could not see his hand in front of him. Only the huge diamonds in the sky emitted bright light.
"Those who are fit, just tell us why you are here."
A majestic mechanical voice sounded, and the words were still as impolite as when they first met.
"You are the King of the Terminal, right? I need your power now."
Before he finished speaking, the King of Terminal seemed to have heard a joke. An extremely terrifying aura appeared out of nowhere and continued to oppress Xia Bai, making him breathless.
"I've said it before, you don't have the heart to use this power. An empty and confused person is not worthy of using my power."
"Need, to be needed... Until now you still don't understand the difference between me and other Mecha Gods, what exactly you are fighting for, what exactly your purpose is, and what exactly your wish is."
"Are you pursuing power in order to become stronger, or are you becoming stronger in order to pursue power? You must first look directly into your own heart before you are qualified to talk to me."
The disdain in his words was not concealed at all. As for Xia Bai, an adaptable person who could communicate with the 'Mecha God Space', the King of Terminal believed that he did not have the will that an adaptable person should have.
Under the heavy power, Xia Bai straightened his body and said with gritted teeth: "I fight for myself, my goal is to defeat Qian Gong, and my wish is to save Shinano. Is this enough!"
"not enough!"
As if angered by Xia Bai's words, the aura of this dark space became more solid, and the powerful oppressive force pressed Xia Bai to the ground.
"These are not your innermost wishes. They are all lies, just like you who are lost. They are full of emptiness and illusions. You, the fittest, have not truly accepted this world."
I...didn't accept this world?
Crawling on the ground, Xia Bai stared blankly at his palm, speechless by what the King of Terminal said.
"Your feelings are fake, your love is fake, everything you have is fake. You keep saying you want to save that ship girl, but where are your actions?"
"After trying my best, I can sleep peacefully. What is the purpose of defeating humility?"
"Fighting for yourself, your battles are never for yourself. You say you won't be a hero, but your actions deny all of that. You fight just to make yourself feel at ease."
"Ask your true heart and tell me again, right now! Why do you want my power?"
Xia Bai did not get a response to the soul-questioning. After listening to the words of the King of the Terminal, his mind was confused and he fell into silence for a long time.
Everything Xia Bai did was now denied by the King of Terminal, and he had no way to refute it because it was all true. The ugliness hidden deep in his heart was dug out by the King of Terminal and exposed.
It is a fact that he is unable to face his own heart. It is also a fact that he failed in this verbal confrontation. Xia Bai lost again, lost to his complacency, and lost to his own heart.
The silence in the space disappointed the King of the Terminal. The chance of the fit ones appearing was very small. If there was hope for salvation, the mechas would not refuse.
But Xia Bai's distraught look has made him lose the qualifications to be a fit person.
Chapter 249 Enlightenment (2)
How did the God of Radiance fall in love with him? Was it because of the love between the ship girl and the fit? But even this love was "fake".
Xia Bai does have the possibility of evolving the mechas. Whether it is Fate Sirius or Tsukuyomi, these mechas have become more powerful after possessing them.
But this possibility alone is not enough to make the God of Glory agree with Xia Bai. With his idealistic power, he does not need such an illusory possibility at all.
Seeing that Xia Bai still couldn't answer his questions and was lying on the ground with his eyes blind, the King of Terminal felt disappointed.
That's it. I hope the next fit person will have a will of steel. I just don't know how long it will take before a new fit person calls on them...
Having already sentenced Xia Bai to death in his heart, the King of the Terminal waved his hand hidden in the darkness, wanting to expel him, but a flash of determination in the other's eyes stopped him from thinking this way.
Xia Bai's contradictory expression and remaining consciousness at this time made the King of Terminal hesitate. It decided to give Xia Bai another chance, a chance to convince itself.
The self-deceiving fit people are not worthy of using this power. As for how Xia Bai will respond to himself next, what is the bond between him and the creature called KanColle, and whether he can transcend his own heart.
All of this was in Xia Bai's next answer, and the King of Terminal expected the other party to convince him.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Bai stood up from the ground, staggering under the huge pressure, and said in a hoarse voice: "I really can't accept this world. After gaining this power, I chose to go with the flow and not change."
"I don't want to be a hero... I just don't want to be responsible for this and I can't accept the pressure from others. But when I see innocent people being harmed, my body automatically moves."
"Maybe I'm just a coward who says one thing and means another... But my feelings for Kanmusu are not fake, as you said."
"Whether it's Sirius, Shinano, or Shokaku, I followed my feelings and fell in love with them. I felt joy from the bottom of my heart when I was with them. The days I spent with them were my happiest times."
"I don't want to see sadness. I want to fight for those who shouldn't die and protect their oath. That's why I need your strength."
"..."
After a moment's silence, the King of Terminal suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, that's it. This is what we, the fittest of the Mecha God, should be like. We don't need to hide our wishes, and we don't need to be ashamed of our naivety."
"Holding the faith of steel and facing up to one's own shortcomings, one is qualified to bear the power of the Machine God. We do not care how our power is used by the fittest, we only ask for a clear conscience."
"Now I am willing to lend you my strength, to help you face despair."
That's right, this is what it wants to hear. The purpose of fighting does not need to be lofty, as long as it is a cry from the heart.
The ability to question one's own heart and decide the future with one's own will is what they hope for as a mecha god-adapter.
"I will no longer suppress my loyal wishes... I agree with your will, but in order for me to appear in the world, the fittest person needs to remove the four seals."
"First, is this a battle to save the world?"
"Second, is this a battle to save humanity?"
"Third, is this a battle to defeat the aliens?"
"Fourth, is this a battle where one has to sacrifice their lives?"
Along with the voice of the King of Terminal, four glowing balls appeared in the dark space. The balls were locked with chains, as if they were waiting for Xia Bai to untie them.
Staring at the huge 'gem', Xia Bai answered in a steady tone: "None of them. This is a battle decided by my own will."
He already understood the meaning of the King of the Terminal's questions. The purpose of the battle was not important at all. What was important was whether he was eager to fight at this moment and whether he followed his heart.
"You have misunderstood, Adaptor. These four seals are the restraints of the Machine God Dimension on me. If they cannot be removed by relying on the actual situation, I will not be able to appear in the world."
Damn, so that’s how it is. He thought it was a test from the King of Terminals.
Scratching his head awkwardly, Xia Bai said with embarrassment: "What should we do now? Can my answer just now be ignored?"
"can."
As if feeling ashamed of Xia Bai's shameless behavior, the King of Terminals answered briefly with one word and said no more.
There is no way, rules are rules. This was the oath that the Mecha-God Space had set in order to demonstrate its power. It is more impressive to express it in the popular language among humans.
The King of Terminal is not clear about the situation in the outside world. If one of the conditions is not met, even if it agrees with Xia Bai, it will still not be able to appear in the world.
After receiving a positive response from the King of Terminals, Xia Bai raised his arms seriously and shouted, "This is a battle to save the world!"
'boom--'
The seal is broken.
"This is a battle to save humanity!"
The second seal is broken.
"This is a battle to defeat the aliens!"
The third seal is broken.
Just as Xia Bai was about to continue to remove the fourth seal, the King of the Terminal suddenly spoke, with a hint of anxiety in his inorganic tone.
"That's enough. The fourth seal doesn't need to be lifted. Three seals are enough for me to manifest at 70% of my power."
"If the last seal is removed, your body will collapse, Adaptor. This has nothing to do with the damage to your core. This is the price of using my power."
At this time, Xia Bai showed a mischievous smile and teased the huge "gem": "I don't trust your so-called 70%."
"My core is almost broken anyway, so my body's collapse is no big deal. This is my own choice."
"Death is not determined by the damage to the core and body, but by my own will. Since you have decided to lend me your power, I will accept it completely."
His eyes were filled with color again, Xia Bai clenched his fists and ignored the King of the Terminal's persuasion, shouting loudly.
"This is a battle to sacrifice one's life!"
The last seal was broken, the chains dissipated, and four small balls began to rotate around Xia Bai, emitting a gentle light, and then poured into his body.
The dark space began to vibrate, as if the world was created. In a blink of an eye, the glow filled the earth, and the King of the Terminal hidden in the shadows finally revealed its true appearance.
It was not until then that Xia Bai knew what the so-called huge "gem" was.
After taking a glimpse of the full appearance of the King of the Terminal, he also understood why the other party had to use four seals to restrain himself. Unlike the previous Mecha Gods, the King of the Terminal could scare the enemy away just by standing there.
The dawn has already illuminated, and the long night will be dispelled.
Chapter 250 Promise Me, Azalea (1)
After coming out of the sea of consciousness, Xia Bai covered his head and reflexively stood up, bumping his head on the soft and elastic "cotton", and fell back to the ground.
"Da Feng is always by your side, Commander, don't be so anxious, hehe~"
Didn't return to the dream world, but returned to the real world...
The charming and sweet voice woke Xia Bai up from his trance. He held his forehead and said calmly: "Da Feng, why are you guarding me instead of fighting Qian Gong? Do you want to be lazy?"
"No, Dafeng is injured, Commander, please look..." Dafeng puffed up her cheeks in grievance, opened her clothes, held Xia Bai's left hand and reached inside.
It was indeed a big 'scar', but Xia Bai didn't feel bad about it. He pulled his hand back and said helplessly: "Forget about the inspection. Help me up first."
With Dafeng's help, Xia Bai straightened up and continued to ask, "What is the current situation of the war? Has the enterprise been hit particularly hard? Has there been any loss?"
"No, at least when Taiho was injured and withdrew from the battlefield, the situation was still very stalemate... Although the bad beasts also sent a few special bad beasts, they were all repelled by the heavy and light cruisers led by War-weary."
"New Jersey also continued to participate in the war. With only one arm, she seemed even more terrifying. She cooperated with Frederick the Great to cause Qian Gong to suffer considerable damage several times, but Qian Gong recovered immediately... ahem."
It was not until this time that Xia Bai discovered that blood was constantly oozing from Dafeng's abdomen. Her words were not lies. She was really seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield.
Although all of Dafeng's actions are based on Xia Bai's instructions, she would never do such a bad thing as sneaking away on the battlefield.
Stroking Dafeng's hair, Xia Bai said gently, "I understand. Dafeng, you can rest here first. I will take care of everything."
Blinking her bright eyes, Taiho said innocently, "Commander, do you want to continue fighting?"
"Well, it's not a good idea to let that guy continue to run rampant. The blockade of Tsukuyomi will soon dissipate, and Enterprise and the others can't resist the full-scale Qian Gong..."
"Go, Commander, you don't have to worry about me. Taihou always believes that you can end this battle and return to Sakura..."
As if she had mustered up her courage, Dafeng took a deep breath and shook her slender, white fingers.
"Commander, can you personally put the oath ring on Taiho? I want a wedding. What Akagi-senpai has, Taiho should have one too."
Da Feng's unconditional trust made Xia Bai feel warm inside, and such a "simple" request made him laugh and cry. Perhaps this was the happiness he wanted to protect and cherish.
If this world were destroyed, all of this would be burned up, and would dissipate like feathers.
Therefore, I must defeat Qian Gong here, even if it means my soul and body are destroyed.
"...I promise you, if I can return to Sakura Empire, I will personally put the ring of promise on Taiho."
This was a lie, but Dafeng did not notice anything unusual in Xia Bai's mental fluctuations. She just smiled foolishly, her face full of expectation. That was her happiness.
At this moment, there was a whistling sound, and a figure fell to the ground in a miserable state from the air. After rolling several times, he slowly stood up.
After seeing Xia Bai, his expression changed slightly.
"Are you... okay?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Bai said frivolously: "Not bad, you look quite embarrassed, you were beaten here by Qian Gong, hahahaha."
The laughter made Essex's cheeks red. It didn't matter if other people saw it, but she just didn't want Xia Bai to see her embarrassing appearance.
The feelings of a ship girl cannot be given up just like that, otherwise Essex would not still be thinking about Xia Bai after such a long time. This love can only be hidden and cannot be dissipated.
Seeing Essex lower her head in shame, Xia Bai no longer wanted to tease her. He quickly knocked Da Feng unconscious and then said seriously, "You came at the right time. I have something to ask of you."
As he said this, he pointed at the two unconscious people.
"Contact the others to retreat, take Kaga and Taiho back to New Yoshi City, and deliver them to Akashi safely."
