Revisiting Azur Lane

The only thing that Kaga hesitated about was Tosa's handling. She was thinking: "With this appearance of the battleship, could it be that Nagato and Mikasa used the rumored ship that Hai Ruo had awakened again? What exactly do they want to do?"

"Damn it! It's just a pawn, but it's causing so much trouble."

Being suppressed by aircraft carriers that far outnumbered their own number, even though Zhou He had been replenishing supplies and thus allowing for unlimited deployment of carrier-based aircraft, the spirits of Zuikaku and Shokaku were limited. Such high-intensity pressure took a huge toll on the two men, and fatigue was visibly visible between their brows.

Yudachi, Avatar, Count Spee and others were in even greater danger, suppressed by the firepower and unable to raise their heads. Even Bismarck had to restrain his unnecessary expression, evade the laser shells of the battleship executors, and barely fight back amid the splashes of water.

"He showed no mercy to his colleagues and even took pleasure in it."

Although Tosa was not given special care, she was attacked by many Sirens due to their large numbers, but her expression remained calm: "This is indeed the behavior of a strong man, but it is too cold-blooded and ruthless. It is meaningless to be strong just for the sake of being strong. A power that exists for the sake of destruction is meaningless."

"I don't agree."

Saying this, Tosa endured the flying shells and adjusted the main gun to aim at a nearby aircraft carrier Siren. The diffuse white mist was accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and several shells accurately hit the aircraft carrier Executor. The flames tore it apart in an instant, and turned it into wreckage flying all over the sky.

Tosa himself was not in a good condition either. His ship's equipment was damaged in many places, and even his arms and face were covered in scars and blood from shrapnel.

"Wow, what a grand occasion! Is this a celebration?"

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the fire of the explosion, followed by a huge shell that whizzed out and accurately hit Feilong, Canglong and Kaga who was watching the show in the back. The two chess pieces didn't react in time and were blown up on the spot. Only Kaga avoided this sudden attack. Reconnaissance planes in the sky gathered towards the place where the shell flew out.

As the flames and smoke dissipated, a figure that was extremely familiar to everyone present walked out.

"You can't even recognize your own sister? I don't remember wanting to be such a useless guy."

The white figure waved her arm, and on the sea surface where all the smoke had dispersed, there stood a figure that looked exactly like Kaga, but surrounded by large ships and cannons. She pointed in the direction of Kaga with a confident smile like a flame on her face: "I am Kaga, the battleship Kaga. Next, let me be your opponent, the me who plays with a small plane in the future."

Chapter 70: Slightly Better

"Another Kaga-senpai?"

"Battleship, what the commander said is true!?"

The two sisters Shokaku and Zuikaku, who were the first to obtain the information from the sky, exclaimed at the same time. As for why they had time to pay attention to what was happening below, it was because Tosa and Battleship Kaga had successively sunk Hiryuu, the Soryu chess piece and an aircraft carrier-type executor. After losing the command tower, the carrier-based aircraft released by the three of them began to rampage. Some flew away, and most of the others fell towards the sea in a spiral form.

In terms of air power, the two sides entered a state of balance for a while.

"Hmm? I see..."

The position of the Battleship Kaga was at the original position of the aircraft carrier Executor, which was the rear of the Siren and was only a few nautical miles away from the aircraft carrier Kaga. When she was aiming at other Executor battleships and firing, a simple command suddenly came to her mind, making the corners of her mouth rise, driving the thrusters towards the aircraft carrier Kaga, and she arrived in front of the aircraft carrier Kaga almost unimpeded.

Two almost identical figures stood facing each other on the sea, one frowning and the other smiling.

"Hey, future me, how does it feel to play with a small airplane?"

Without rushing to open fire, Battleship Kaga restrained his smile and looked at the other party sharply: "Logically speaking, your strength should have been strengthened after becoming an aircraft carrier. Why are you still hanging out with the Sirens and Akagi? Have you all forgotten Amagi's instructions? Is this the reward for everyone's sacrifice? "

"…what are you saying?"

The aircraft carrier Kaga, who was in shock and thought about the Battleship Kaga appearing out of nowhere, frowned and relaxed when he heard her words: "Amagi? Sorry, I don't remember her existence. If she really appeared successfully, under her guidance, Akagi would not have taken such an extreme path."

"Ok?"

Senrei Kaga showed a surprised expression: "You are talking nonsense, right? Have you forgotten my memories of this period? Or do you have no memories of the past at all?"

"..."

Aircraft carrier Kaga let out a sigh in silence. Battleship Kaga was right. When she was born, she only had the memory of becoming an aircraft carrier. Although she knew that she had been conducting construction experiments aiming at a battleship, she eventually became an aircraft carrier, which is what she is now.

'These people at war are ships from another world'

In the brief conversation, Carrier Kaga confirmed this. She, who had reached a cooperative relationship with Siren, knew some news that ordinary people did not know. She had never thought that a simple experiment could actually connect to the coordinates of other worlds. All the emotions in her eyes were instantly emptied, and she looked at her opponent who looked very similar to herself with a cold face: "Our conversation should end. Since you are talking nonsense, let me see what kind of power I had in that era."

"Hahaha, this is interesting!"

Senrei Kaga raised his eyes and revealed a brilliant smile, raising his right hand: "Prepare to die!"

boom!

Dense white smoke rose from the main gun muzzle, and shells forced the air out of the barrel. The firepower covered the opposing aircraft carrier Kaga almost instantly, followed by intensive explosions and water columns rising into the sky.

After a round of bombardment, the battleship Kaga took a step forward to adjust the ship's equipment and the angle of the main gun, looking left and right for the opponent's movements. Water splashed quickly and a figure rushed out from inside. The battleship Kaga raised his hand and fired a round, but after hitting the target, he found that it was just a fighter plane that had just taken off. The aircraft carrier Kaga himself had already run out from another direction and kept a distance.

"Go."

The retreating aircraft carrier Kaga left a blue mark on its own deck runway, and blue lights continued to rise from the deck. They did not directly turn into normal-sized carrier-based aircraft, but turned into toy-like small fighter jets with a scale of 1:10. They flew from all directions and surrounded the battleship Kaga, spraying golden barrages and dropping mines and bombs.

"Not enough! Not enough! This level of power is not painful at all!"

Under the attack of the aircraft group, the battleship Kaga rushed head-on towards the aircraft carrier Kaga, operating the anti-aircraft guns to accurately fire at the fighter jets that posed the greatest threat to it. Just now, several bullets almost grazed her cheeks, and the strong wind pressure tore her skin, leaving a trail of blood.

Although it was a reduced-size fleet, its lethality was no weaker than its normal state. However, the battleship Kaga was not always attacked. Instead, it chased the aircraft carrier Kaga and bombed it after the main and secondary guns were loaded. This left the aircraft carrier Kaga with little energy to accurately control the carrier-based aircraft.

"..."

While the two Kaga were chasing and hurting each other, the number of Siren aircraft carriers decreased sharply, which led to Zuikaku and Shokaku winning the battle for air supremacy. They then launched a dimensionality reduction attack on the Executor battleships on the ground from the sky, directly tearing apart the Executor's firepower line, and cooperating with Tosa and Bismarck, whose wounds had been repaired by Zhou He, to clear out the remaining non-battleship Executors one by one.

"The Executor has a flexible body like the Shipgirl and extraordinary firepower, but it is thin-skinned. The mass-produced type can only be seriously damaged by several shots, while the Executor is turned into a ball of fire with just one shot."

This is the unanimous conclusion reached by Bismarck and others after they personally fought here.

"These two guys are having a blast."

After gaining the advantage, Zuikaku finally had time to notice the sparring between the two Kaga. He raised his hand and pinched his brows, feeling a little tired.

"Our carrier-based aircraft can actually attack at this size."

Compared to Zuikaku, Shokaku's observations were more detailed. The fighter jets she sent out had already circled over the two of them, recording almost the entire process of the battle. She was amazed at the exquisite control of the aircraft carrier Kaga: "Although he did such a shameful thing as cooperating with the Siren, Senior Kaga is indeed very strong in combat."

"If it were me, I would have used a plane to knock the battleship-formed senior away, which would have blocked his view and blocked the shells."

Ruihe curled her lips. She had been spoiled by Zhou He's unreasonable logistical supply. The aircraft loss rate in each battle was higher than the previous one. It was really unreasonable.

"Zuihe?"

Shokaku was attracted by her nonchalant attitude and spoke with a little more emphasis: "Did you really observe their fight carefully? Facing the tight attack of Battleship Kaga-senpai at such a close distance, can you guarantee that your carrier-based aircraft can take off?"

"this…"

Zuikaku, who was fearless in front of Tosa and Shuga, couldn't hold back when Shokaku called her out. She glanced at the two Kaga who were less than a nautical mile away and whistled, "I don't want to fight Kaga-senpai at this distance."

In the memory they inherited, there was no period when Kaga was active in the form of a battleship, but the battleship Kaga in front of them was fierce and ruthless when fighting. The most surprising thing was that this Kaga seemed to understand the battle mode between the ship girls and even with the aircraft carriers very well. He did not give the aircraft carrier Kaga any chance to breathe. He had to keep a close distance with her even under the attack of the fleet, and she would be killed with just one hit.

'At this distance, can I turn around and fight back with a knife?'

In a blink of an eye, Zuikaku's thoughts drifted to a strange place again.

Shokaku, who was standing side by side with Zuikaku, naturally noticed her distraction, but he didn't have a good way to deal with it. After all, they had just met, and she was not particularly familiar with Zuikaku's habits. It would be better to wait until they got to know each other better before giving her a more specific and profound lecture.

Just as Zuikaku and Shokaku were wary of the Battle-class Kaga, the Carrier Kaga was also deeply oppressed. If she had not shared the vision of the carrier-based aircraft, she would not even have been able to counterattack the Battle-class Kaga, so much so that she suddenly found that the scars she had left on the Battle-class Kaga had healed for some unknown reason. A few seconds of distraction made her unable to predict the landing point of the Battle-class Kaga's shelling, and she was blown away by the impact force of the exploding shells that fell beside her. Although she made evasive and defensive movements, she was still severely damaged. She maintained her speed and slid on the sea for hundreds of meters, and finally failed to maintain her balance and fell into the sea.

The small plane in the sky also fell down.

"What a magical and mysterious ability."

Battleship Kaga did not launch additional bombardment, but raised his hand and clenched his fist, with excitement on his face: "Let me shine in this world without faction constraints and international restrictions... Although it is a bit inappropriate to capture me as a gift, I don't have anything else on hand."

call out!

As the battleship Kaga was approaching the aircraft carrier Kaga which had overturned on the seashore, a shell fell from the sky. Kaga, unable to avoid it, could only slide sideways urgently. One side of the ship's equipment was hit and a dazzling fire broke out. Most of the flying iron pieces were blocked by her arms, and a small part of them brushed her cheeks, neck and body, leaving numerous wounds of varying sizes. The blood instantly dyed the entire dress red.

But the next second, Kaga miraculously found that his injuries and the damage to his ship's equipment had all returned to normal. He didn't even feel the pain, only a slight chill left in his body.

"Who is attacking me?"

Without thinking too much, Kaga turned around and fired a round of artillery fire in the direction where the shells came from, not aiming to hit the target, but just to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's combo.

The carrier-based aircraft hovering above her head also responded, approaching the direction where the shells came from. What came into everyone's sight was a siren with a white single ponytail wearing a sailor suit, golden eyes full of wisdom, and a black shark ship suit on her back.

"new model?"

Zuikaku quickly passed the message to others, and everyone looked at each other in awe.

"You got beaten so badly, huh?"

The Purifier who rushed over looked at the battleship Kaga standing on the sea, and the aircraft carrier Kaga lying on the sea and just standing up. She wanted to have some fun but was stunned: "Kaga, why are you broken?"

“…I’ll leave the rest to you.”

The aircraft carrier Kaga was covered in wounds and had no energy to complain about the Purifier's nonsense. He slowly left with his left hand supporting the wound on his right hand. The battleship Kaga wanted to chase but felt a sudden sense of crisis. The moment he slowed down, two lasers shot out from the Purifier and intercepted the two Kagas.

The ones firing the lasers were the two small shark-like floating gun-type ship suits that were following Purification Himself.

"I'm sorry~ I will be your next opponent."

Purification said this while looking at Battleship Kaga and ordered the executors behind him to restrain Zuikaku and others.

The second confrontation began instantly.

……

On the other side of the battlefield, Hood, who had received intelligence shared by Bismarck, commanded Jean Bart and others to snipe at the executor team that was pursuing the White Eagle Fleet, but did not engage in an in-depth confrontation. He simply opened up a third battlefield, fighting and retreating, with the goal only to stop them from pursuing the White Eagle Fleet.

Even so, they were still taken seriously by the Executor Fleet. Even the Executor Fleet that had already been on their backs turned back and formed a pincer attack on them together with the subsequent Executor Fleets.

Akagi, who was deep in the Mirror Sea, was communicating with a silver-haired, mechanical cat-eared girl riding an octopus-like ship with many tentacles: "What's going on? Let's not talk about the Fifth Carrier, why did the Royal Navy and the White Eagles' combined fleet appear? Didn't the Hood and Bismarck already sink in battle because of your conspiracy?"

"Don't say such harsh words. We just guided their meeting according to the natural algorithm. Besides, some things are not true just because they are spread. Don't you think so?"

The observer had a faint smile on his face, and did not pay attention to Akagi's sharp tone: "The Purifier just went to investigate. This mirror sea has a space displacement phenomenon, and people who entered other test sites have been transferred here. You should also know that we have many test sites, and it is very troublesome to manage them. Occasionally, there will be a few disobedient chess pieces that make trouble~"

"I'm not interested in your lame excuses. Now that you've found out the cause of the phenomenon, why don't you just kick them out? Or are you unable to even do that?"

Akagi narrowed his slender eyes and stared at the observer with a smile: "If your sincerity is only to this extent, then our cooperation may have to end here."

"Of course, we will deal with the problems here, but your experiment needs to be terminated this time."

The observer ignored Akagi's threat and simply stated how he would handle the situation next.

"Ah."

After several unsuccessful attempts, Akagi sneered and turned away: "Then let me see your methods."

The camps gathered in the Mirror Sea this time include White Eagle, Royal, Iron Blood, Sakura Empire and Northern Alliance, and even people from the Vichy Church. God knows what these sirens want to do and whether they did it on purpose, but for her, the situation has already gotten out of control. Rather than staying here to watch the show, she would rather return to Sakura Empire before the news spreads to gain more possibilities for her next plan.

After watching Akagi leave, the observer looked into the distance and said, "Tester, you handle the situation here. I have other things that are more important to do."

"understood."

A voice of response was rang out, and multiple executors, led by a leader, emerged from the water, gathered together, and approached the White Eagle Fleet and Zhou He's Hood Squadron that were trying to rendezvous.

The observer, on the other hand, turns around and leaves after staying for a moment.

After several experimenter Sirens officially took over the battle, Akagi and the wounded Kaga gathered together, frowning slightly: "How did you get yourself into this state?"

"Something happened."

Although Kaga was injured, her eyes became even more fierce. Her gaze swayed slightly as she moved closer to Akagi and lowered her voice, "The coordinates of this test site overlap with those of other worlds. Bismarck's team and Hood's team are from the same port area."

"what?"

Akagi remained calm on the surface: "Are there any other discoveries?"

"The backers of this group of people are very mysterious. The guy I fought with was me during the Battleship period. If what she said is true, then the memories we obtained may have been tampered with."

Kaga's eyes flickered. "That guy mentioned 'Amagi'. From the tone of his voice, it seems that we lived with Amagi during the wartime."

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Akagi's eyes changed, and his sharp teeth clenched tightly together: "I thought the Siren cooperated with us for other purposes, but now it seems that our cooperation with them and even this experiment were all within their calculations, hehe, hehehe..."

As she was talking, Akagi suddenly laughed brilliantly, and her eyes fell on Kaga: "You did a good job. After all, we have the upper hand in this game."

"But this is the point where we can contact them. If this place is closed by the Siren, the same thing may not happen again next time."

Kaga swayed and loosened his arm. It was covered in blood, but upon closer inspection there was no wound.

"No, I remember that Iron Blood has been doing something secretly recently. I'll find an excuse to go over there and take a look. I'm sure I'll gain something."

Akagi restrained his emotions, reached out and patted Kaga's shoulder: "Let's go, let me go meet the younger generations of 'this world' and cultivate our relationship in advance."

"..."

Kaga didn't understand Akagi's confidence, but she didn't mind turning back to fight with her battle form self again from a long distance.

Chapter 71 What if it works?

When the two Akagi sisters returned to the battlefield taken over by the Purifiers, the battle was almost over.
