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

"Nagato... not to be feared... Purifier, are you afraid of the Embers?"

Facing the cold words of Steliancus, the Purifier shuddered and said with a sad face: "No! I'm just a little worried... Yes, I'm just a little worried."

This was the first time that the Purifier had come into contact with a class like the Arbitrator. The pressure from the other party, which was intimidating without even getting angry, made her afraid that she would say something wrong and be "executed".

But unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Steliancus forced a slight smile on his cold face, and it seemed that such a simple action was very difficult for her.

"Being afraid... is a good thing. It means that your emotions... have gradually become richer, Purifier. When you return to the [Host], you will be able to... evolve again."

"If... you don't want to fight with the ember... then leave first. I can do it... on my own."

It seems that the arbitrator Sternkus is not as cruel as her ferocious appearance. She is not good at expressing herself with words and has a cold face but a kind heart.

The Purifier was deeply moved by these words. He felt embarrassed in his heart, but he responded, "How can we let Master Stelchencus face the Embers alone? Today, I, the Purifier, will stand together with Master to see how powerful the Embers are."

Just as Steliancus said, her emotional modules are already very rich, and perhaps after returning to the [Host] she will be able to develop into a higher level Siren.

After hearing the Purifier's words of loyalty, Steliancus nodded slightly: "Well... then you should be careful... I won't be able to take care of you when we fight."

After chatting, the two floated in the air, waiting for the arrival of the embers.

After a while, a trace of solemnity flashed across Sternkus's brown eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Here it comes." Then he made a fighting stance.

The solemn atmosphere made the Purifier feel a little breathless. She looked around in the mirror sea for the figure of Embers.

They saw a small wooden boat coming towards them. Two people on the boat were rowing hard, each holding a paddle. The scene was extremely funny.

Through the analysis of the mind computer, Sternkus easily understood who the visitor was and retracted his twisted and irregular ship equipment.

"I was wrong...it turned out to be...RX-02."

As the Siren's key observation target, they have long been aware of Xia Bai's mental fluctuations, including various combat data, and it is no secret that Xia Bai has a slightly lingering aura.

After all, another arbitrator, Tempalans, had made a mistake before.

Hearing this, the Purifier's fearful expression eased, and he asked doubtfully, "Lord Stelencus, what should we do now?"

Even if she couldn't defeat RX-02, at least she wouldn't die completely after being defeated by it, which made her feel a lot more at ease. What's more, with Stellenkus around, she wasn't afraid of anything.

"Don't attack...RX-02...Interesting, let's go check it out."

After letting the Purifier retract the ship equipment, Sternkus brought her to the water surface and took the initiative to approach Xia Bai and Dafeng.

"Commander, those two strange sirens have discovered us. What should we do now? Should we just take action?" Putting down the oars, Dafeng made a fierce expression towards Xia Bai, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the two sirens, one black and one white, Xia Bai scratched his head and replied, "It looks like they don't want to do anything. Let's go up and have a chat."

Xia Bai naturally didn't want to fight if he could avoid it. His hostility towards the Siren was limited to Tianpalans, and it was mostly just a convenience. Moreover, after being fooled by the Observer Lington, Xia Bai always felt that there was something fishy about his eldest brother's death.

These two Sirens are obviously intelligent, so now is a good time to go up to them and ask them some questions. Even if a fight really breaks out, Xia Bai is not afraid.

So both sides approached each other with their own ulterior motives and remained in a stalemate at a relatively safe distance.

The snow-white Siren Xia Bai looked familiar, but I couldn't remember clearly, and I had never seen the other one before.

A little black man with gray hair and long horns. His bold outfit exposes large areas of brown skin with many scars on it. His arms are wrapped in huge dark blue mechanical claws. He looks like someone who is not easy to mess with and also looks very tough.

While looking up and down at Sternkus, Sternkus was also looking up and down at Xia Bai. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then she said, "RX-02... I heard about you from Tempalans."

Hearing this name, Xia Bai's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "It's just an empty title. May I ask who you are?"

Faced with Xia Bai's somewhat sarcastic words, Sternkus didn't care too much, or she didn't understand what the other party meant.

He imitated Xia Bai and held the two huge mechanical claws together, saying without any emotion: "I am...Sterencus, affiliated with the arbitration agency...Arbitrator."

Is this human etiquette? It feels so strange... Thinking this in his heart, Steliancus looked at his mechanical claw and put it down again.

Xia Bai covered his mouth and tried hard to hold back his laughter when he found that Steliancus was imitating his movements. As an arbitrator like Tempalans, is it really okay to be so silly and cute?

Chapter 113: Polite Sternkus

I bit my lips tightly to hold back my laughter. If I laughed at this moment, I would be doomed. I finally met such a wise siren who was so easy to talk to, and she was so silly.

With a twisted face, Xia Bai reluctantly said, "My name is Xia Bai, and RX-02 is my model."

Goodwill is relative. Sternkus had no intention of taking action and was still so polite, so Xia Bai naturally wasn't in a hurry to shout for war.

"Hmm...new intelligence record...RX-02 has a human name...Xia Bai." With data flashing in his eyes, Steliancus turned to look at the Purifier and nodded to her.

"It's time... for you to introduce yourself. It's our first meeting... introduce yourself well."

Her behavior pattern is simple, learning and evolving herself. Observer Zero once told the arbitrators that Xia Bai holds the key to 'evolution'.

For every Siren, evolving themselves is a clear goal, especially for the Sirens who have gained wisdom. Since Lord Zero said so, Steliancus will definitely not fight with Xia Bai for no reason.

She also said these words to the Purifier on the way here. She admired this colleague very much and hoped that he could evolve again and join the Arbitration Agency.

Hearing this, the Purifier made a scissors gesture and said playfully, "I don't need that. Xia Bai, you should know who I am, right?"

Seeing that this siren in sailor uniform was so familiar, Xia Bai really thought about it, but after recalling for a long time, he just felt that the other party looked familiar. Maybe all sirens look the same.

"Who are you? Have we met before?"

"Hey! I'm the Purifier." With a wail, the Purifier pointed at himself and continued incredulously, "We've met before, right? Think about it, I'm very popular in the human world."

Regardless of whether he is popular or not, Xia Bai really knows the name Purifier. Quickly recalling the details, he suddenly realized: "So you are the Siren who was defeated by New Jersey in a few moves. Are you resurrected?"

"After all, I am also a node terminal, so of course I will be resurrected... Wait, Xia Bai, have you forgotten that we had a fight in the sea a few days ago, the one with Kaga?"

Seeing the other party's angry look with puffed cheeks, Xia Bai also remembered the memory when he drove the Innocence and Holiness to sweep away the Siren, as if the one floating in the air was the Purifier.

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "So it's the Purifier in person. I'm so sorry."

With a delicate snort, the Purifier raised his head and looked as if he was saying, "I won't argue with you any more." He really deserved a beating.

Then the three of them turned their eyes to Dafeng, and now she was the only one who had not introduced herself.

Leaning against Xia Bai, Tai Feng shrank back and whispered: "Tai Feng, the commander's armored aircraft carrier ship girl..."

It's true that she has some problems with her brain, but she is not mentally retarded. The current situation is weird no matter how you look at it. The two parties who should have fought each other as soon as they met can actually introduce themselves to each other in a friendly manner.

It seemed like they had met too late. When did this start... Yes, it started when the black-skinned Siren who called himself the Arbitrator imitated Xia Bai's moves.

From that moment on, the whole meeting process was a little different.

Taiho could only sigh that her commander was worthy of being her commander, as he easily accomplished things that others could not.

Nodding with satisfaction at everyone's self-introductions, Sternkus showed a genuine smile on her face. She was still very friendly when she was not facing Ashes.

"I want to... collect Xia Bai... your combat data... to evolve."

"According to Kanmusu...it's an exercise."

"In exchange...you ask...I answer."

After speaking intermittently, there was a slight longing on Sternkus's cold face as he waited for Xia Bai's response.

As a Siren who is several levels higher than the Purifier, her emotional template is very complete. She knows that there is no reward without effort. Her intermittent speech is not due to stuttering, but because she is not very good at expressing her thoughts and is used to speaking as she thinks.

And don't be fooled by Stelchencus's ferocious appearance. Apart from the embers and the enemies, she was a little shy when she saw unfamiliar people.

From the words of this somewhat silly arbitrator, Xia Bai barely understood what the other party meant. It just so happened that he also had a lot of questions to ask Siren, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, Sternkus, how would you like to practice?"

"Pale Nightmare... Master Zero said... real time stopped. I'm curious."

This made Xia Bai feel very embarrassed. It didn't matter that the other party knew so much. After all, Siren's information was a contribution.

But now Kewei was not by his side, and he had never blown the "whistle" in front of Kewei, let alone the "freezing jump device", even the pale nightmare could not unfold.

"Pale Nightmare is not usable right now for some reason. How about you change it, Steliancus?"

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Sternkus was silent for a while before he said, "Then anything... is fine, just ask first."

Such a Siren completely overturned Xia Bai and Da Feng's three views. She was too reasonable. She asked to complete the conditions first and then conduct the exercise. She specifically asked to conduct the exercise with Pale Nightmare, and did not doubt anything even when Xia Bai rejected it.

The other Sirens should really learn from their Lord Stelhencus, who is truly a moral role model.

"Okay, I want to know if it was the Arbitrator Templars who killed my eldest brother, RX-01." Unable to refuse the kind offer, Xia Bai asked the question he wanted to know.

"Well... I don't know... I haven't seen Temperance for a long time... Change it."

After letting out a sigh of relief, he was actually a little worried that if Sternkus answered yes, the situation would get out of control. But now it seemed that this question could only be asked to the man himself or Observer Zero.

So Xia Bai thought about it and changed the question and asked, "Where is Shinano imprisoned outside the world, and how can we get there?"

Apart from the murderer of RX-01, Xia Bai was most concerned about that stupid gray-haired fox. After all, it was his contracted ship, and what he said to Shinano was not to deceive the other party.

This question stumped Stelencus. With data flashing in her eyes, she said hesitantly, "Where is Shinano imprisoned... It is not under the jurisdiction of the arbitration agency... I will ask Master Zero for you... Wait."

Just as he finished speaking, the burning sky suddenly became brighter, and a big hole appeared in the center of the sky, illuminating the entire mirror sea like holy light.

The sudden change made Sternkus collect his attention immediately, and he immediately threw the three people in front of him out.

The next second, the white judgment came instantly, and a beam of light emitting extremely strong energy hit Sternkus directly.

Chapter 114: Supreme

"Lord Strencus!"

Ignoring the anxious shouts of the Purifier beside him, Da Feng squatted down and helped Xia Bai out of the water and said worriedly, "Commander."

"I'm fine, Sternkus..."

Covering his head and shaking it, Xia Bai wanted to say something else, but the next scene completely stunned him.

A gigantic mechanical creature about a kilometer in size slowly descended from the hole in the sky, towering toward the sky. It looked like a sacred woman with pale, bloodless skin and a pair of smooth wings. A dark gold thorny disc was quietly rotating behind it.

There are many brass cylinders with ancient patterns floating around it, carved with pious human faces, and four metal spikes extending from the cylinders.

"This size is no joke..." Gritting his teeth, Xia Bai looked at the giant mechanical creature that suddenly appeared with an embarrassed expression.

Beneath the other party's pious and terrifying appearance, there was an extremely powerful energy hidden. The sacred light that should have been warm made Xia Bai feel very cold, as if his bones were solidifying.

The mechanical life form's tightly closed eyes opened, and a bright light shone around it. Inorganic, mixed mechanical sounds spread throughout the entire mirror sea.

"Give away arrogance, give away sin, and the divine judgment will burn away all the filth in the world."

"The battle for souls has begun. But remember, be courteous."

"Life, know how to be content."

As the words fell, the floating brass pillars scattered, spraying sin-killing beams of light into the sea, and one of them rushed towards the three people.

"......snort."

Just when Xia Bai and others were about to be hit, a familiar cold snort was heard. Steliancus stood in front of them and used his mechanical claws to disperse the beam of light. The black figure was so reassuring.

"Ember obliterates...you...escape."

After saying this, Sternkus was about to step forward to fight, but was stopped by Xia Bai. He said with a worried look on his face: "Sternkus, are you really okay with your injury?"

The Arbitrator did not look well at this moment. Blood was oozing out from all over her body. Large pieces of her one-piece armor were shattered, and her entire body was covered with burns.

“The feeling of being cared for is very comfortable.”

"Damaged... Thirty-seven... Can continue to fight."

After answering Xia Bai's question expressionlessly, Steliancus raised his arm, and a strange light emanated from it.

"Restrictions... lifted, ability module activated."

Suddenly, Xia Bai felt his body sinking involuntarily. Not only him, but even the air around him seemed to solidify.

"My ability, gravitational singularity."

As Stelchencus explained, the suffocating feeling disappeared. It seemed that she saw that the three people were in pain, so she lifted the gravity on them.

A dark blue shield rose from her body, and without further explanation, Sternkus quickly leaped from the sea into the air to engage in battle with the mechanical lifeform.

Like the collapse of heaven and earth, every time the giant mechanical claws hit a living being, the space would be stirred and the water surface would explode.

The mechanical life form floated in the air, not caring about the "little ants" on its body, and only let part of the brass pillar return to launch an attack.

Soon, it paid the price for its arrogance. The returning brass column quickly fell into the water near Strychnos, and no matter how it was controlled, it could not float again.

The beams of light radiating from afar were also attracted by the singularity created by Sternkus in the sea, distorted and disappeared without a trace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Steliancus plunged its giant claws into the body of the mechanical lifeform, gouging out large pieces of mechanical flesh and blood, and deployed its ship to pour fire, leaving a large bloody hole in its body.

Seeing that the battle situation was gradually moving towards Sternkus, Xia Bai hugged his chest and said, "It seems that this guy is just a show-off. His huge size is obviously no match for Sternkus."

He originally wanted to lend a hand, but seeing how lame the other party was, he had to give up, sighing that he was worthy of being an arbitrator, and was really amazing.

The Purifier on the side had a different opinion. He trembled and said weakly, "That... Lord Sternkus is no match for that guy. You'd better run away quickly."

"How can you say that? I think General Strychnos is about to win. My dear Purifier, don't let others' prestige ruin your own morale. You will be thrown into prison if you do that."
