Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

Apart from the echo of Xia Bai's own voice, no response came from the cockpit.

"How irresponsible! He actually left first and is still killing people randomly... Never mind, I can kill it by myself."

Without sadness or disappointment, Xia Bai operated the King of Terminal expressionlessly to catch up with Qian Gong. Then, to Qian Gong's horror, he cut out the battle axe named "End" and swung it fiercely at the crystal on his chest.

It turns out that I am also an irresponsible person...

Chapter 253 The dawn here is quiet

No matter what the battle situation is like ahead, the night in New Covenant City is still so peaceful and quiet, and the golden light that comes with the descent of the Supreme does not seem to have spread here.

Only the subtle sounds of explosions coming from extremely far away and the urgent reports on the evening TV news made the people of New Covenant City realize that the war was quietly happening not far from them.

But who cares? Before the enemy is at the gate, they still sleep soundly and have their own sweet dreams.

But Akashi can't sleep now. After receiving the news that Xia Bai's core was damaged, this profiteer cat has been working day and night to study solutions in his temporarily modified secret room.

Modifying the machine and making the positron cannon were just her way of relaxing occasionally. Unlike Xia Bai's slander, Akashi was really working hard to come up with a solution.

"It's modeled after the core of the Mind Cube... How strange, why would humans make something like this, meow?"

After much thought, Akashi threw the V-Project experimental report in her hand on the table and decided to try it with her own ideas.

"Like this, like this, and there's still one more thing, what is it, meow..."

Just when her inspiration was running out, hurried footsteps were heard, causing Akashi to frown. She hated it most when someone disturbed her while she was studying something.

"Oh no, oh no, Akashi cat, look at this!"

The door was pushed open and Cheshire ran in holding a small computer. The computer screen was flashing red light and shrill alarms were sounding continuously, while Master Bell with a serious expression followed behind her.

Throwing away the pen in his hand, Akashi ran to Cheshire on his calves, jumped up, snatched the computer, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"That's impossible, meow! When did the detection device start to sound the alarm?"

Seeing Akashi's look, Befa lowered her eyes and answered hesitantly, "Just five minutes ago, when Miss Cheshire and I were observing the commander's physical condition."

"If what you said is true, does this mean that the commander has already..."

Befa didn't dare to say what to say next. She just hoped that Akashi could tell her now that there was a problem with the detection device.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible. The commander is invincible. How could he die?"

The cat's tail stood up, Akashi blushed and loudly retorted: "Befa, you and the commander have established a mental link, you don't know if he is in trouble or not..."

"Tick-tock..."

Water droplets fell on the floor, and crystal tears overflowed. Befa's tears at this moment had already revealed everything. The mental connection was broken, not because one party interrupted the connection, but because she could no longer feel Xia Bai's presence in her mind.

The deep grief that followed was like losing the most precious thing, the most precious memory, and the sense of loss overwhelmed Befa.

Tears kept dripping from her cheeks. Beifa covered her chest and tried her best not to make any sound. She and Xia Bai had agreed that she could not cry because it would make him sad.

The cat ears drooped down, and Akashi sat on the ground, his mouth opening and closing, muttering: "No one stipulates that there can be no problems with the mental connection. Befa must have felt it wrong, or maybe it was just temporarily blocked..."

As if he was deceiving himself, even though he knew what Befa's behavior meant, Akashi still kept hypnotizing himself in his heart.

The sun slowly rises, the night gradually fades away, dawn has arrived, but the situation in Mingyang area is just the opposite, it is just about to enter the night.

The sky was dark, artillery fire was flying, and red flames filled the sea, as if to evaporate the entire sea surface. The thick fog formed by water vapor greatly reduced visibility.

"Hehehe~ Burn, burn, burn all of you 'pests' to ashes, so that I can go to Takors to find my dear."

As if she thought of Xia Bai, Akagi's pretty face slowly turned red. She hadn't seen her commander for a long time, and the smell of his clothes alone could no longer satisfy her.

Especially that hateful maid often drove herself out and didn't allow herself to enter Xia Bai's room to replenish energy. It was simply too much.

Seeing that Akagi was starting to go crazy again, Shokaku leaned forward slightly and explained to the stunned Donghuang ship girl in a gentle tone.

"Senior Akagi is not usually like this. It's just that I haven't seen the commander in a long time. Please forgive me, Miss Zhenhai."

"It doesn't matter... I've heard the name of Akagi in the First Carrier Battle, and now I see it, it's well-deserved. It's a pity that I didn't meet Kaga, who was also in the First Carrier Battle, in this battle, which left a regret."

Shaking her head, the Donghuang ship girl named Zhenhai fixed her gaze on the Siren that was constantly turning into ashes, feeling deeply moved.

Mingyang's cleanup plan was a joint operation between Donghuang and the Sakura Empire. All of their Donghuang members went into battle, and even Anshan and Changchun, two ship girls who were not yet proficient in the use of missiles, were brought to the front line. In addition to ensuring that the plan was foolproof, it also meant demonstrating their strength to the Sakura Empire.

Again, although Azur Lane is an ally, healthy competition has always existed within the group.

But who would have expected that the Sakura Empire's ship girls, apart from being a little envious, didn't take the missile destroyers seriously at all. Tosa even looked at them with contempt, like the kind of surprised look one would get when seeing primitive people in modern society.

Later, Zhenhai realized that the commander of the Sakura Empire was a beast who drove a Gundam. Since he had beam weapons, he naturally looked down on missiles.

"It's a pity that we don't have the chance to meet..." Zhenhai muttered to himself with a little regret in his heart, and then his eyes were filled with moving colors. He slowly said, "I heard from Yixian that your Atago suddenly vomited blood and fell asleep on the battlefield. I wonder how he is doing now?"

"This is a little difficult to talk about. It's our family affair. Miss Zhenhai doesn't have to take it to heart."

Shokaku had no idea why Atago fainted, and no one could figure out what that girl was thinking. Who knew if she was pretending to be injured and wanted to be lazy.

So when she heard Zhenhai's question, Xianghe perfunctorily answered it by saying that it was a family matter, and at the same time hinted to the Donghuang strategist not to continue probing the secrets of Sakura Empire. She would naturally tell the other party what she could, and there was no point in playing tricks on what she couldn't tell.

"I have no ill intentions, nor do I have any hidden intentions against you. I am just a little concerned about the loss of personnel. If you are interested, can Miss Shokaku play a game of chess with me after this battle?"

"Ms. Shokaku...?"

Tears welled up on his gentle face, and his expression became extremely stiff. A suffocating feeling welled up from deep within his heart and spread throughout Shokaku's body.

And Akagi in front suddenly erupted with extremely terrifying murderous intent, with flames raging as if it was going to set the sky on fire.

Chapter 254 Zero

Staring at the battle axe that had already sunk into the crystal in his chest, Qian Gong took a breath with lingering fear.

At that moment, it really thought it was dead. The battle axe penetrated any of its defenses and reached its core. But just as the axe blade wanted to go further, the jewel-like single eye of the King of the Terminal went out and stopped moving.

“Did it perish because it couldn’t bear this power…Hahahahahaha, this is ridiculous. Your answer is your future.”

After discovering that the Terminal King's functions had ceased, Qiangong no longer used the illusion of holiness to cover up his ugliness and laughed out loud.

"The power of taboo will eventually bring disaster... Even if you can make such a great being come, I still win this battle."

That's right, Xia Bai still lost at the last moment. Deploying the King of Terminal was just a last hurrah. When he rushed into the universe, he was already exhausted. It was only his strong willpower that delayed the arrival of death.

In the end, he still failed to defeat Qian Gong, but the world was defended. The crack channel was closed the moment the Bad Beast Mistress died. Qian Gong was unable to reopen the channel because he had isolated the barrier between the worlds.

Although the world did not perish, Qian Gong was extremely excited at this moment. He could get the soul he had always dreamed of, Xia Bai's soul.

Such a powerful ability as humility can allow him to continue to evolve. Then he won't be afraid of the Siren's pursuit. Maybe he can even reach a realm that he never dared to imagine before and be on par with the "God".

He grasped the battle axe that almost destroyed his crystal with his arm, and Qiangong pulled it out with a little force.

But at this moment, the King of the Terminal's one eye lit up, and he used both hands to pull the battle axe down from the crystal, splitting the humble body into two.

"I will remember you, come again, the death of the fittest, the reckoning..."

The Fit One lost, but the King of the Terminal did not lose. Moreover, if Xia Bai had fought Qian Gong at his full strength, it would be hard to say who would win.

So the King of the Terminal felt ashamed of this defeat, ashamed for Xia Bai and ashamed for himself. They actually failed to kill Qian Gong, this insidious guy.

After separating from the Adaptors, the Mecha God could no longer move in the real world. Even with the power of the King of the Terminal, it could only do so much. It believed that Humility would not be destroyed by this blow.

But this shows the attitude of the King of Terminals. It is threatening and humble. Don't be complacent too soon. When the next fit person appears, just pray that you don't run into me.

After this attack, the King of Terminals disappeared, and the broken V-Project Terminal floated in the universe. After a long time, Qian Gong carefully began to repair his body.

"I never pay attention to the wailing of the loser..."

With a guilty tone, Qian Gong couldn't wait to take the V-Project terminal in his hands, slowly disassembled it, and then his eyes lit up.

Yes, that's it. This is the soul it wants. How brilliant and bright it is. With this soul, it will completely move towards a higher level. And now, no one can stop it.

"You big idiot, what a big idiot. If you hadn't handed me over to that ship girl, you would have already won when you dragged Qian Gong into space... It's unnecessary."

Although they were clearly in a vacuum environment, the soft, cold voice still reached Qian Gong's ears, making it feel like a thorn in its back. It immediately gave up on Xia Bai's corpse and retreated violently.

A giant dragon as blue as the sky flew out from the ripples of space and tightly sealed off the universe. A skeleton exuding an evil aura followed closely behind and came into the universe.

Not only them, but two holy beings also appeared together, blocking Qiangong's retreat.

"Chastity, diligence, generosity, and tolerance. You, a betrayer, think that the four of you can defeat me by joining forces?"

"How do you know if you don't try? I'm not afraid of fear, haha."

The azure dragon named Chastity kept swimming around Humility, making playful and pleasant sounds.

"Besides, there are more than just a few of us coming~"

It was not until this time that Qian Gong found himself surrounded. As the space shook, the arbitrators descended one after another.

Tempalans, Stelhencus, Hermet... and the strongest arbitrator, Empres, and the remaining arbitrators of the Arbitration Agency are out in full force.

"Should I lament the fickleness of fate, or be happy that hatred will soon be settled..."

With a magnificent flame in his eyes, Enpres's face showed murderous intent: "You will definitely not escape this time, Supreme and Humble."

The world barrier was broken when the King of the Terminal delivered the final blow, but the humility, whose eyes were blinded by greed and desire, remained intact.

When the signal of humility was sensed by the [Host], without any hesitation, the Arbitrators came into this world with their supremacy.

The Siren has been waiting for a long, long time, the day when she can destroy Humility once and for all and free the souls of her companions.

At this time, a dark blue jellyfish appeared beside Xia Bai. The girl on the jellyfish gently stroked Xia Bai's face, then stood up and said calmly: "You dare to attack my people. Qiangong, you haven't evolved much since you followed Yu Jin, but your appetite has become much bigger."

"Give up the idea of ​​escaping. Unless that alien god intervenes, your Ember leader won't be able to save you even if he comes in person."

"Observer Zero, I didn't expect that I could allow you to come..."

A cruel arc appeared on his cute face, and Observer Zero chuckled: "I don't really want to fight, unless someone tries to destroy something I like."

"Originally, the hatred of the arbitration body should be handled by the judge himself. I have no interest in intervening, but you actually want to get your hands on my things."

"So, go to hell....hehehe."

----------------------

Lying on the jellyfish, Purifier Zero raised his white and tender snow-white feet high, and used his crystal clear toes to tear Xia Bai's face into different shapes, saying happily: "The alien god intervened and let it run away. I couldn't do anything about it, but I also left all the souls behind, which can be regarded as a vent for you."

"I am very satisfied with the results of the test. Whether it is your killing of the Destroyer Beast Mistress or your response to Qian Gong's sudden appearance, I am very satisfied."

"So, TB-chan decided to let the trapped soul return to life as a reward."

"Rebuilding the body is a piece of cake for me. Your brother and brother can all be resurrected. Please worship me as much as you want."

"I won't make such a stupid mistake again in the next test. Likewise, next time you can't hand me over to others without my permission."

"You are my only key, and I will only have you as my key, so please don't give up your life easily."

Volume 4: The Lost Butterfly

Chapter 1 Acting School

Sealed deep in my heart is a voice that was left there without knowing when.

To live, to live for myself, to continue to live with the ship girls, to live with all the sons of Prometheus.

Xia Bai died before all the agreements were fulfilled, and he never regretted it. He just died with regret and reluctance to leave the ship girl, a small unfulfilled wish.

Saving the world but unable to save himself, this may be the most true portrayal of Xia Bai.

If Xia Bai had persisted a little longer at that time, Qian Gong would have been destroyed, but he was already very tired. When the axe blade hit the opponent, the forcibly activated function stopped, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

Going forward, it was clearly within reach, but at that moment it seemed so far away, heading in the exact opposite direction of my intention, towards death.

......

The warm morning breeze blew in from the window, ruffling the white curtains. The morning light filtered in from the window, leaving mottled shadows on the floor.

The sound of waves lapping could be faintly heard in the room, flocks of birds flew across the clear sky, and the potted plants on the windowsill stretched their bodies and swayed in the wind.

"I'm... in hell?"

The man opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time, and stared blankly at the ceiling, very confused.

He didn't know how long it had been, but the muddled consciousness in his head gradually became clear. He clenched his fists, and the strength of his body and the feeling of skin contact made him realize that he was still alive.

I slowly got up from the soft hospital bed and saw a strange environment.

The clean and tidy room, the fresh and simple furnishings, and the faint fragrance in the air, it all was so peaceful and tranquil that I fell into confusion again.

It is neither hell nor heaven, this is the world he guards, a beautiful and rich world full of twisted thoughts, a happy world that he cannot give up.

"Huff...Huff...Zzzz."

The faint and gentle breathing sound reached Xia Bai's ears. It was not until this time that he realized that there was a little ship girl lying on the hospital bed and sleeping soundly.

Snow-white fluffy twin ponytails, a chubby little face that looked as if water could be squeezed out of it, thick eyelashes that trembled restlessly, and a pink coat that slipped down slightly due to the girl's bad sleeping posture, revealing her round and fair shoulders.

As if she felt someone's gaze, the petite girl woke up from her dream, rubbed her wine-red eyes, glanced at Xia Bai, and then fell back on the bed.
