Chapter 13: Tempalans (Revised)

The roar of artillery fire, the smoke in the sky, the scattered debris, the siren with a cold expression, and the despair brought by the extremely powerful fighting power. Everything reappeared in Xia Bai's mind.

"02, the son of Prometheus is now in your hands. Follow my orders and retreat!" After saying that, the man rushed into the battlefield and faced despair.

Only the sons of Prometheus were left weeping in the air.

"A new test subject that appeared due to some deviation in the experimental world? It's really weak, but it has the courage to fight in the face of despair, which is data worth recording. Tell me your name."

"I am RX-01, Son of Prometheus!"

"Just a code name? Haha..." The humanoid Siren chuckled, "To show my respect for you, I will also tell you my name. I am the Arbitrator--"

"Tian-Pa-Lan-Si!" Xia Bai growled word by word as he recalled the past.

"Hey! Xia Bai, are you not dead?" Hearing the voice on her shoulder, Kewei said to Xia Bai with tears in her eyes: "Kewei... Kewei thought you were dead. If you are not dead, make some noise. Don't scare Kewei." After saying that, she pushed Xia Bai away with a pretty blush.

With a splash, Xia Bai fell into the water.

Seeing Xia Bai being pushed down by him and staggering onto the water, Kewei felt guilty and quickly helped Xia Bai up, "I'm sorry, Xia Bai, are you okay?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. It doesn't matter what happens to me. Guanghui and Kewei, prepare to retreat." Xia Bai knew very well that he should not drag Guanghui and Kewei into his hatred.

As for following his own resolution and not retreating? That also depends on the situation. He can't even deploy his mecha now. Is he going to die with Awesome and Glory?

"Ah? But the reinforcements will arrive soon. Can't we hold her back and sink her when the reinforcements arrive?" Kewei asked Xia Bai doubtfully, "Even if we don't sink her, it would be good to understand her combat power. This is a new type of Siren that has never appeared before."

"Don't think about it. Tianpalansi is not someone that can be dealt with casually. Contact the support vanguard fleet and tell them not to approach the battlefield. We can only..." Xia Bai's face was a little heavy when he said this, and he sighed, "We can only give up."

"Ha, Xia Bai, are you kidding? What's the point of our efforts all night? Are we just going to let the Siren land like this?" Her chest heaving up and down with anger, she questioned Xia Bai with confusion.

"Just listen to Xia Bai, Kewei." Frowning, Guanghui turned around and persuaded Kewei: "Xia Bai must have his reasons for doing this. Don't you know him well after a night of fighting? He wants to defend this city more than any of us."

How powerful is the opponent to make you, Xia Bai, suppress your anger and hatred and choose to retreat? Guanghui could clearly sense that Xia Bai's mental fluctuations were emitting a strong anger called "revenge".

"Thank you Guanghui for your understanding. I will explain the rest to you Kewei later. Now we are ready to retreat!" Xia Bai deeply understood the power of the Arbitrator Tianpalans.

This guy cannot be defeated by two or three fleets. Perhaps, given the mobility of the ship girl, it is still a problem that she cannot escape from her hands unscathed.

I have fought against her in the Battle of the Faru Sea, and I was defeated in just one encounter. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Tempalans, the high mobility of the Son of Prometheus would have made it impossible for me to lose so badly.

Even their eldest brother, the first awakened RX-01, was sacrificed to cover their retreat. So it was better to retreat. Now was not the time to blindly seek revenge.

"You seem to be trying to escape?"

A clear and soft voice came, and Xia Bai's body trembled slightly. The lovely voice entered his ears like the cry of an evil ghost demanding his life.

Raising the mechanical claw, Tianpalans scratched his face in confusion, and said lazily as if he had not woken up yet: "Does anyone among you know me, so you want to escape?" Then he looked at the three people carefully with half-closed eyes.

Feeling Tianpalans's gaze, Kewei and Guanghui felt as if they were being stared at by the terrifying beast at the top of the food chain. Their bodies were stiff and unable to move.

"Hey, hey, are you kidding? This feeling of oppression, Sister Guanghui~ save Kewei." Turning her head stiffly, Kewei whispered to Guanghui for help.

"It's just as Xia Bai said, very scary... But, Kewei, please be a lady~" After saying that, Guanghui smiled at Kewei.

"Sister Guanghui, what are you talking about? Your voice is shaking, and you still want to pay attention to the royal etiquette? What's wrong with your smile that makes me feel at ease?" Kewei kept complaining in his heart, but nodded without showing any trace on the surface.

Yes, the royal family must remain elegant no matter what the crisis.

The twisted mechanical claw pointed at Xia Bai, and Tianpa Lansi's half-closed eyes slowly opened, "I know you, you are the unique son of Prometheus in this world, and the breath of 'Ember' comes from you."

Although he wanted to crush the man in front of him who carried the aura of 'ashes', the 'host' would not allow such a thing to happen.

The sons of Prometheus are important test subjects and are currently the focus of observation for the Sirens. Their birth cannot be replicated.

Although this is not my task, I can always record it if I see it. With this mentality, Tianpalansi's eyes shone with a faint light, and the numbers composed of 0 and 1 flashed by.

"May I have your name?"

We can communicate normally and I don’t feel any hostility at the moment. Maybe this is an opportunity?

Xia Bai and Guanghui exchanged glances, and then Xia Bai opened his mouth to answer.

"I......"

"My name is Kewei, you can kill me or cut me up at will..."

"Ah, Kewei, she's not asking you." Covering Kewei's mouth, Xia Bai whispered in Kewei's ear: "Don't be too nervous."

Looking at the little movements between the two people in front of him, the light in Tianpalans' eyes dimmed.

"What a hassle. I have to record it again. I might as well sink the two shipgirls next to him first... But it would be bad if I accidentally sank him. I'd better wait until I finish recording before I do it." After thinking about the ending of the three people present, Tempalans asked again.

"Man, what's your name?"

Trying his best not to let Tianpalans notice the murderous intent in his eyes, Xia Bai resisted the urge to rush up and punch Tianpalans in the cute little face, and answered with his head down.

"RX-02."

"gender."

Hold on, I have to hold on. If I start now, everything will be over. Xia Bai gritted his teeth and continued to answer.

"male."

"age."

Hearing this question, Xia Bai was stunned for a moment. He realized that if he didn't count the time before the time travel, and started counting from the day he woke up.

"...It seems like I am only half a year old?" Xia Bai muttered softly, then raised his head and glanced at Tian Palans secretly, and found that the other's delicate and cute little face became ferocious.

"You said you were only half a year old?"

Xia Bai was startled when he realized that what he said seemed to be heard by Tianpalans. He straightened his body and answered loudly.

"No, I remembered it wrong. The exact time is seven months and fourteen days."

"..."

In fact, Xia Bai regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. He should have added his age before the time travel. If he angered Tian Palans and the others in front of him, everything would be ruined.

Falling into silence, Tianpalans slowly raised the cannon at his waist and aimed it at the three people, with a faint blue halo emanating from his body.

"Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

The terrifying murderous intent spread throughout their bodies, and their breathing seemed to be completely frozen.

"It's terrible, Guanghui, run!" Seeing the situation taking a sharp turn for the worse, Xia Bai shouted at the two of them.

"Today, you will go to hell and pay for your sins of fooling me." A cruel smile appeared on his mouth, and the surrounding environment gradually distorted.

"Black Dragon!"

A confident and enthusiastic voice suddenly came.

A dark meteor shower fell from the sky, drowning the sky.

Chapter 14 This Time It's Really Over

The black bullets poured down like a dragon's breath, fully unleashing its powerful force.

After the smoke cleared, Tian Palans' figure slowly emerged. It looked like her condition was not too good. The jellyfish suit behind her had varying degrees of damage, and Bai Zhe's little face was charred.

"Tsk, MK7 406mm main gun, was that guy born in this experimental world?" After being baptized by the black rain of bullets, Tianpalans analyzed the current situation.

"The energy shield has been broken and the armor has been penetrated. If we are held back by that guy again, the situation will be bad." After coming to this conclusion, Tianpalans emitted a dazzling light all over his body and then floated in the air.

"Awesome, RX-02, I will remember what happened today. We will meet again."

The faint blue light distorted the surrounding space. With a sharp sound like nails scratching on a blackboard, Tianpalans transformed into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky and finally disappeared.

"Kewei doesn't want you to remember at all... Xia Bai, don't fall on me suddenly!"

Seeing Tianpalansi disappear, Xia Bai's tense nerves relaxed. Then, pain and fatigue swept over him, and he fell powerlessly on Kewei.

"I'm sorry, I can't stand up. Let me lean on you, it will be fine in a moment."

"I really can't do anything about you. I can only... rely on you for a while."

Seeing Xia Bai's tired look, Kewei thought for a while, then took Xia Bai to kneel on the water and gently placed his head on his plump and round thighs.

"Is this supposed to make you feel better? Hehehe, you are the first person to let Kewei rest his head on your lap, so just praise Kewei."

Feeling the elastic yet soft touch on the back of his head, and the faint scent of lavender entering his nose, Xia Bai said weakly: "Thank you, beautiful, lovely, powerful and formidable lady, for providing a lap pillow for such a weak person like me."

"Really? You're so insincere in praising me so bluntly." His face gradually became flushed, and he tried to look at Xia Bai on his legs.

Not visible at all.

"..."

The angry girl immediately found someone to vent her anger on.

Kewei grabbed Xia Bai's face with her slender hands from both sides of her chest and shouted angrily, "Tell me, are you teasing Kewei?"

"No, how could I tease you? These are all true." Xia Bai tried to explain with a vague and aggrieved tone.

"You said you didn't play a trick on me, watch out!"

But how can a shy girl reason with you? Just like that, Xia Bai's face was pulled back and forth by Kewei, changing into different shapes.

Watching the fight between Kewei and Xia Bai, Guanghui smiled knowingly. It seemed that this fight had brought them closer together. Then she sat on the sea, holding up her white skirt.

The sun still rises, its rays shining on the sea and illuminating the sky.

The blue sky and the sea complement each other, and the sea and the sky are one color.

The fire in the city was extinguished, emitting wisps of black smoke. The sound of gunfire and roar had faded away.

The morning breeze blew across the sea, creating ripples, but at this moment it seemed peaceful and distant.

----

After playing around with Kewei for a while, Xia Bai closed his eyes and enjoyed the hard-earned leisure time.

It was just one night, but it felt like a long time had passed. There shouldn't be any more twists and turns now...right?

It seems that I still don't understand the ship girls. I didn't expect that there are such powerful existences among the ship girls. That Tianpa Lans was defeated by a single blow and fled in a hurry (in Xia Bai's eyes).

If we had fought with the KanColle at that time, would the outcome have been different...

Speaking of which, the ship girl who can drive away Temparans with one blow should be a girl who looks scary.

By the way, what was my purpose in coming to Port William? How come I can't remember anything after fighting with the Sirens?

Shaking his head, Xia Bai stopped having wild thoughts. He just wanted to enjoy the afterglow of this hard-earned victory and have a good rest.

"Hey~Glorious and Awesome, I'm here at the right time, right?"

The girl's voice was passionate, exuberant and full of confidence.

Hearing the voice, Xia Bai wanted to straighten his body to see the 'hero' who defeated Tianpalansi, but when he was halfway up, he bumped into something and fell back onto Kewei's legs.

As soft as marshmallow yet elastic.

"Ah... Xia Bai, you are sexually harassing me." Feeling the touch on his chest, Kewei exclaimed and then held Xia Bai's head and shook it hard.

"No, I just wanted to see our savior. I bumped into him accidentally." Xia Bai tried his best to explain, "Don't shake it, don't shake it. Your brain is about to come out."

"Kewei, don't go too far. Xia Bai is a wounded soldier." He walked to Kewei's side and knelt down. He lifted Xia Bai's head and placed it on his legs. He touched Xia Bai's short hair and said, "Xia Bai needs care right now. Let me do it."

Then she smiled at the visitor and said, "Hello, Miss New Jersey. The sea breeze is cool and pleasant today."

Kewei wanted to say something, but when she remembered that there were "outsiders" present, she immediately returned to her ladylike demeanor and continued to say, "Thank you very much for your timely arrival, Miss New Jersey."

The surface work is impeccable.

"No need to thank me. Although I am not a member of the Azur Lane, it is our responsibility to fight the Sirens." New Jersey then looked at the wreckage of the Sirens in the surrounding waters, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It must have been a fierce battle."

New Jersey? Hearing this name, Xia Bai turned his head to look at the girl.

The ship equipment on the left and right sides each formed an arc-shaped semicircle, with magnificent and ferocious gun barrels spreading outward, and a huge electromagnetic light wheel after the semicircle was connected.

There is a mechanical rabbit ear on her long light purple hair, and a black silk tights wrapped around her tall and curvy figure. A white windbreaker is casually hung on her body. There is a heroic air on her beautiful face, and her star-blue eyes are bright and clear, like stars, full of confidence.

Xia Bai was deeply impressed by the heroic and beautiful New Jersey. Although her clothes were strange, she was closer to Xia Bai's understanding of the existence of ship girls than Glory and Awesome.

No wonder even Tian Palans was no match for her and had to flee in panic.

Look at this magnificent ship, this confident look, this reliable combat capability. He put his hands on his hips to show his disdain for Siren, and his slightly raised mouth corners revealed his mockery of Siren.

Uh, after watching for a long time, Xia Bai always felt that New Jersey looked a little silly.

......

Feeling the strange mental fluctuations, New Jersey was also carefully observing Xia Bai on Guanghui's legs.

The blood-stained face, the short black hair... no matter how you look at it, it looks ordinary, but it seems to be closely related to the glorious and terrible.
