Their perfect commander

"I understand, Senior. I'll leave this to you, Senior."

Mikasa looked at Akagi, and she vaguely felt that this matter was related to her.

Akagi just smiled back and didn't say anything. This matter really had nothing to do with her.

"The festival cannot be held after midnight, so let's continue the festival now." The Siren's attack could not stop the ceremony, so Shinano and Musashi continued the ceremony.

"Show your courage to the gods, offer your wisdom to the gods, and give your faith to the gods"

"May the gods guide the Sakura Empire to find the path to light"

"May the gods protect the Sakura Empire and ward off disasters and misfortunes, and may auspiciousness last forever."

The two men's hands lightly touched Hai Ruo, and at the moment of contact, dazzling golden light burst out from Hai Ruo, illuminating the entire altar extremely brightly. Above the night sky, the full moon was covered by clouds at some point, and the golden light shot straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds. The full moon reappeared in front of everyone, but it had turned into a blood moon.

The blood-red light made the night sky look extremely strange. The light of the red moon dyed the golden light reflected by Hai Ruo red inch by inch, swallowing up the light at a speed that seemed so fast. The Tianyan Island, which was originally as bright as day, was now shrouded in blood.

Akagi calmly revealed a corner of the Mind Cube on his sleeve, and a faint blood-red light seeped into the Cube. The moment it entered, it turned into a faint golden light, and the dim Mind Cube became a little brighter.

No one noticed this scene, even Kaga, who was closest to the scene, looked at the bright red blood moon, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on her frosty face.

Frederick the Great did not feel anything about the blood moon. Her dark golden eyes looked at the divine stone that was slowly rising into the sky. She could feel the power in it. If Jiang Cheng had not existed, Tiexue might have been interested in this divine stone.

As the sacred stone rose into the air, the entire ceremony reached its climax.

The blood-red light gradually dyed Hai Ru red, but its interior was still golden-blue light, as if the red light wanted to fill Hai Ru's interior with red as well.

But in the next second, Hai Ruo burst out with golden light again, the entire night sky was bright again, the red light disappeared completely, and the full moon returned to its normal appearance.

When all the light faded, the sacred stone slowly fell onto the altar. Unlike before, it was now glowing with golden-blue light, no longer dim.

At this point the entire Tenyu Kaito Festival officially ended. Shinano and Musashi looked at each other, and Musashi wanted to take back the sacred stone.

Boom! The door to the hall was blown open, and two embarrassed figures appeared in front of everyone.

They were Shokaku and Zuikaku. Their clothes were torn, revealing some of their breasts. Zuikaku's hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't hold the long sword in his hand steadily.

She supported herself with her sword and slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her hand, and stood in front of Shokaku.

He held the long sword tightly and looked ahead angrily.

The smoke cleared, and a figure holding a sword entered the hall. She should also be a ship girl, but her aura seemed particularly depressing. The person who came was Kaohsiung meta.

"Get out of the way." Kaohsiung meta said coldly, looking at Zuikaku who was standing in front of him.

"Who the hell are you?!" Anger burned in Zuikaku's eyes, and she wished she could chop the person in front of her right now. However, the huge gap between them made her feel powerless.

She is stronger than that gray ghost, much stronger. At least when facing Enterprise, Zuikaku can still fight back.

She no longer paid attention to Zuikaku, but dodged and rushed to the altar.

The ship girls that blocked her way were no match for her sword, and she didn't even draw her sword.

Her strength has exceeded everyone's understanding.

But the more they looked at this person, the more familiar she looked to them, both in appearance and voice. However, her hair covered most of her face, making it impossible to confirm her identity further.

"Please move aside. I don't want to hurt innocent people with this knife."

"What do you want to do?" Mikasa looked at her with a serious expression. Mikasa felt her substantial pressure. Even she, a senior, was probably not her opponent. But how could a senior retreat?

"Of course I'm just doing what I should do." The mountain breeze blew her hair, and her pretty face hidden by her hair was unusually cold. Her dark golden eyes looked at Hai Ru on the altar. Her goal was to destroy it.

"In that case, I'd better stretch my old bones." Mikasa drew the knife from her waist, and her eyes instantly became sharp.

Even if she is defeated, she will still draw her sword.

It's been a long time since I've been so passionate. It's really good to be young~

But Mikasa's enthusiasm did not last for a few seconds, and a figure blocked her way.

"Kaohsiung?"

"Senior Mikasa, let me be her opponent." Kaohsiung stared at the person in front of him, feeling that the person in front of him was quite familiar.

"Interesting." Kaohsiung meta looked at Kaohsiung, her lips slightly raised, revealing a bit of disdain. She was also very incompetent towards herself.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Kaohsiung lowered his body and tightly grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist with his delicate hands.

"Then let me see if you have made any progress." She gripped the hilt of the sword, her beautiful dark golden eyes gleaming with a faint golden light.

"Okay, stop, Kaohsiung. You are no match for her. Leave her to me." Shinano came to Kaohsiung and looked at Kaohsiung meta with cobalt blue eyes.

"Shinano-sama..."

"No need to say more, just step back." Shinano shook his head, his expression became a little more serious. A large number of dream butterflies gathered around him, and their illusory figures transformed into three long swords.

"Long time no see, Kaohsiung." These words were naturally spoken to Kaohsiung meta.

Shinano's words ignited the atmosphere of the entire hall. The people from Sakura Empire were all confused about the word Kaohsiung. Looking at the tall figure, they realized that this person was somewhat similar to Kaohsiung, but Kaohsiung was indeed in the hall. Who was this Kaohsiung?

"Long time no see... hehe..." Kaohsiung meta lifted the black hair that covered half of his face, revealing his heroic yet slightly sarcastic face.

For a moment, the hall was silent. That was clearly Kaohsiung.

The Sakura Empire ship girls were all confused, especially Kaohsiung herself, who just stood there with a look of astonishment.

The Iron-Blooded Ship Girls were just watching the fun, but they naturally noticed something unnatural about this 'Kaohsiung'.

"Meta ship girl?" Frederick the Great looked at Kaohsiung meta and had the answer immediately. According to the theory, she should also be a meta ship girl, but Frederick the Great could not feel their similarities. They seemed to be two completely opposite categories. Perhaps it was just individual differences.

Without sufficient data to support it, Frederick the Great could not confirm his own situation.

"In that case, then draw your sword and let me see how magnanimous you are." Kaohsiung meta pointed the giant blade at Shinano.

"Let me experience your power." Shinano also drew his sword, the sharp blade emitting a cold luster, and the other two swords were unsheathed at the same time.

Both of them lowered their bodies and attacked at the same time.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of blades striking each other was heard continuously, and the figures of Kaohsiung Meta and Shinano changed rapidly.

Zheng!

There was another loud bang, and Shinano's three long swords collided heavily with Kaohsiung meta's giant blade, but Shinano was obviously at a disadvantage.

"Haha, Shinano, you still haven't made any progress." Kaohsiung meta swung the giant blade in his hand down fiercely, and two of Shinano's three long swords were knocked away. Shinano himself took a few steps back, leaving a crack on the blade.

"Then let's end it." Kaohsiung meta lowered her body again, the giant blade in her hand disappeared, and her hand was grasped on the hilt of the knife at her waist.

"Don't be so arrogant, let me try~" Bailong walked out from the group of ships carrying a huge blade, with an arrogant and domineering look on her face. Of course, she was still very serious in her heart.

Kaohsiung meta didn't say anything, but pulled out the knife at his waist suddenly, but this knife was not aimed at anyone.

With a snap, the sacred stone sea on the altar split into two halves.

Zheng, Kaohsiung meta put the knife back, turned around and left. No one stopped her. After all, except Frederick the Great, no one present could stop her.

At this point, the Tianyu Qihu Festival was truly over.

......

Castle tower.

Drop~drop~drop~

The falling raindrops were like beads, gently hitting the glass. A winter rain came without warning, washing over the entire Tianyan Island.

A light mist rose from the sea in the distance, covering the entire sea surface, adding a bit of danger to the dark night. "

Clatter~ Clatter~ The raindrops grew from small to large, and the rain became heavier.

"The rain is getting heavy." Shinano, who was inside the castle tower, looked at the pouring rain with no expression of either sadness or joy.

"Yes." Musashi put away the sacred stone Hai Ruo and the mind cube on the table. She slowly stood up and opened an oil-paper umbrella.

"It's time for us to start preparing for the final ceremony."

Shinano also opened an oil-paper umbrella and returned to the festival hall with Musashi.

……

Boom! Boom! Several thunderous sounds were heard, and Jiang Cheng's door was pushed open. It was Chi Cheng with wet hair.

Although his body was a little wet from the rain and looked a little disheveled, Akagi was smiling.

Boom! Boom! Thunder and lightning flashed, the flickering night sky and the dim light made Akagi's figure look extremely terrifying.

Tick~tick~ The water drops slowly slid down the corners of the clothes and wet the floor.

"Mr. Jiang Cheng~Good evening~Hehe" Akagi's charming voice spread in the room. Of course, it was already early in the morning, and Jiang Cheng should be asleep. Her greeting was just out of excitement.

"Good evening, Miss Akagi." Jiang Cheng looked at Akagi calmly on the sofa and gently closed the book in his hand.

"..." Akagi was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting this.

"It's so late, Mr. Jiang Cheng hasn't rested yet, it's not good for your health, hehe."

"No problem, then what's up Miss Akagi?"

"I just came to remind Mr. Jiang Cheng that we should leave, the time is up... hehe." Akagi showed a weird smile, and his red eyes were intimidating under the dim light.

"In that case, let's go."

……

Two ships slowly sailed away from the port of Tianyan Island, and the huge roar was also covered by the sound of thunder and rain.

88. Failure (4k)

The strong wind brought about sudden rain, and the sound of rain drowned out the sound of the wind.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the night sky, wetting Shinano's gray-silver hair. The rain flowed down her fair cheeks into her white jade neck, and finally merged into the mountains.

The dark blue shrine maiden's costume was soaked by the rain, and its long hem was mixed with mud and rain. At this moment, Shinano was like a pearl that had fallen into the mortal world and was stained by dust.

But she didn't care about these. As she was painting the altar carefully with the brush in her hand, the golden dye accidentally stained her forehead. She just wiped it with her sleeve and continued to "paint". Soon, a profound formation diagram filled the entire altar.

The mysterious symbols painted with golden pigment seemed unaffected by the rain and emitted a faint golden light. At first it was just a symbol, but later the entire formation emitted a dazzling golden light.

He took out the mind cube from his chest and placed it in the center of the formation.

Shinano looked at Musashi behind him and withdrew from the altar. Musashi was also soaked by the rain, his hair was slightly messy, and his fair skin looked extremely cold under the rain.

"Leave the rest to me, Shinano."

Musashi walked up to the altar, took out a mind cube from his chest with one hand, and placed it together with the one in Shinano. In the other hand, he held the sacred stone Hai Ruo, the complete sacred stone Hai Ruo.

Hai Ru was placed on top of another rune in the formation.

The moment Hai Ru was put up, a ray of golden light shot straight into the sky, breaking through the pouring rain, and the night sky seemed to be pierced.

Musashi was slowly reciting some words, and his golden eyes were emitting dazzling golden light.

The two mind cubes also gradually filled up from being dim.

Shinano was watching this scene from the side, her cobalt blue eyes never moving away. A faint smile appeared on her cold face, with a hint of expectation in her gentleness.

"I have finally waited for this day..."

"Cough... cough..." Musashi's face suddenly turned pale and he coughed violently a few times. Fresh red blood came out of his mouth, soaking the entire formation red. The blood spread rapidly as if it had life, and the golden light turned into blood light.

With a peng sound, Hai Ru split into two halves, followed by a crackling sound, and several cracks appeared inside Hai Ru.

Peng! ! Hai Ruo broke into several pieces.

"Musashi!!" Shinano hurriedly stepped forward to support Musashi who was vomiting blood, and the smile on his face turned into panic.

"Impossible...Impossible...cough cough..." Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and Musashi's pale cheeks showed an inexplicable sense of sadness, and his majestic temperament was no longer there.

"Impossible...Impossible..." Musashi's white and tender hands wiped the blood-stained formation diagram vigorously, but even after the delicate skin was cut and bleeding, the blood color did not fade, but became even more intense.

"Something must be wrong...something must be wrong!!"

"The formation diagram is drawn wrong... I will redraw it right away... I will redraw it right away..." Shinano didn't dare to accept this reality. He picked up the paintbrush tremblingly, but the paintbrush broke into two pieces.

Musashi tried hard to stay calm, recalling all relevant memories and looking for things that he had overlooked.

"There can only be one Jiangcheng in this world..." The words of the observer appeared in the minds of Musashi and Shinano. The two looked at each other and thought it was just a lie....

Shinano pulled out the purple-black dagger from his chest, his cobalt blue eyes slightly distracted as he looked at the dagger.

At this moment she seemed to understand the purpose of this dagger...

Two golden rays of light shot out from the Mind Cube, shooting straight into the distance, from the top of the mountain to the sea, piercing through the thick sea fog and penetrating through the raindrops.

"That direction..." Musashi looked at the extension of the light, which was the direction where the Akagi fleet left.
