Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Then, he saw the black sphere in the picture, which was slowly advancing while rapidly attracting and devouring everything around it.

"Damn, it really is a black hole cannon?"

"Ouch~ This is a huge problem!"

As the gravitational pull of the dark sphere in the image grew larger, Rob felt his head begin to ache.

Because of previous investigations, Rob had some expectation that the Sirens might possess some kind of mystical artifacts.

However, people always tend to have a certain amount of wishful thinking.

Since the Sirens were never brought out, Rob continued to hope that they didn't exist.

Today, reality slapped Rob hard in the face.

"Everyone, retreat immediately. Oh, and take those two embers with you."

Rob has many questions about the Embers, to which the dragon Meta belongs.

Whether it was the Kaohsiung Meta we encountered before, or these two in front of us, they all possess combat capabilities far exceeding those of ordinary ships.

Rob felt he should make some contact with them.

Right now is a great opportunity.

Upon receiving Rob's order, the ships immediately split into two groups. Joan of Arc and her comrades, who were already at the rear, turned around and helped Rob clear out the Sirens around them first.

On the other side, they immediately prepared to drag the dragon Meta and the others away.

However, after learning of Rob's intentions, Flying Dragon Meta refused without hesitation.

"Sorry, our mission is to stay here until the singularity stabilizes."

"Wait a minute, you're saying there's another anomaly here?"

Upon hearing this, Rob felt a chill run down his spine.

"Oh~ Didn't I tell you? Ah, sorry, sorry."

Meta seemed completely unconcerned about the singularity issue, and she smiled, ready to let the matter drop.

After hanging up the call, Rob slumped into his chair.

Originally, he planned to accelerate and drive away, since that black hole-like thing, although it looked terrifying, was discovered by Rob upon closer inspection.

This thing is really nothing special; as long as you move out of its range, it will disappear on its own.

With the speed of its two warships, it wouldn't be difficult to do this.

Once that "black hole" explodes, it will be much easier for Rob to come back and clean up the mess.

As for the consequences, this is NA waters anyway, so it's the Eagle Union and Royal Navy that will suffer. Why is he in such a hurry?

But now he knows there's a singularity in an unstable state here, and everything is different.

Robb didn't dare gamble that the black hole wouldn't affect the singularity.

If the Singularity explodes, it won't just be the White Eagles and the Royal Navy that suffer.

"I think I must be cursed with a strange point; nothing good ever comes from encountering it."

"Belfa, give me a cup of black tea!"

As was his habit, Rob wanted to ask the head maid for some red tea to perk him up, but then he suddenly realized that Belfast had gone out to hunt sirens.

"Hehe, Commander, I have some green tea here, do you want some?"

Seeing Luo Bo's action, Zhenhai raised his teacup and looked at Luo Bo with amusement.

"Ahem, stop fooling around, we're talking serious business!"

If Xuefeng weren't around, Rob wouldn't mind playing around with Zhenhai, but with a child present, it's not appropriate.

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."

"We'll figure out how to get rid of that thing."

Pointing to the black hole in the image that was still devouring the surrounding matter, Rob put away his previous frivolous expression.

"Sure, it's up to you."

...

With the help of Joan of Arc and her companions, the remaining Sirens around the two warships were quickly cleared away.

"Ms. Warspite, please try attacking once first."

In the spirit of testing the waters before knowing the specifics, Robb immediately asked Warspite, who had come to help temporarily, to fire a Moonbeam Cannon at the black hole.

"I see."

The old lady didn't seem to have any resistance to what Rob said; if it were Elizabeth, who knows what the situation would be like.

The dim night sky was illuminated once again, and a huge beam of light descended from the sky onto the sea.

The Moonlight Microwave Cannon collided with Strencus's "Black Hole".

Visibly, the bright white beam of light now had a gap in its pitch blackness.

The gap was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing everything that came near it.

The gap grew larger and larger until it swallowed up all the white light.

A ripple, like a heartbeat, came from the sea.

After the light faded, everyone's gaze returned once again to the black sphere that was spinning forward.

It seems that the black sphere has slowed down?

Chapter 257: Self-Destruction? Damn!

The three Sirens' arbitration body has remained inactive ever since Strencus released the black sphere.

The reason is simple: this thing is a recent invention even for the Sirens.

Because her abilities were most compatible with Strynkus, the host chose her to conduct the experiment.

However, this raises a problem.

According to the original design, all arbitration bodies, in addition to their combat performance requirements, were required to have a considerable degree of ability to conduct tests independently.

However, unfortunately, the arbitration body produced such an oddball as Strencus.

She had no interest in any of the experiments, as if the meaning of the rest of her life was to fight against ships or, in other words, the embers.

She's always the first to charge at any formidable opponent.

The ships that appeared at this testing ground were completely outside of any of the plans. If it weren't for Lord Zero's strong ability to block information, Strencus would probably have already gotten there.

So after the "experimental strong gravity weapon" was launched, Strencus acted as if nothing had happened, quietly standing aside and carefully observing how to deal with the ships.

As for the task of recording and analyzing the data, it all fell to Hermite and Tenpalance.

“Stellencus, this is your weapon…”

Although Tenpalans, wearing a peculiar hat that resembled a nightcap, had no expression on her face, it was easy to tell from her words that she was a little upset.

Hearing his companion call his name, Strencus turned his head and blinked, as if he hadn't understood what Tenpalance was saying.

"..."

Seeing this, Tenpalance said nothing more, taking it as an extra task given to him by Lord Zero.

...

On Rob's side, after Warspite fired a shot to "test the waters," everyone urgently analyzed the current situation.

Judging from the current state of the black sphere, after being irradiated by the moonlight microwave cannon, it stopped moving forward and remained in place.

However, its gravitational pull has not weakened and it continues to attract surrounding matter.

Even after absorbing the energy from the moonlight microwave cannon, its size tends to increase.

"It seems... to have the opposite effect?"

As the area of ​​effect of the black sphere continued to expand, Rob and the others retreated while analyzing the situation.

"No, that's not right, Commander, look!"

Baltimore suddenly spoke up, interrupting Rob.

Following Baltimore's direction, Rob calmed down and observed carefully.

As the gravitational pull of the "black hole" expands, the remnants of mass-produced sirens, originally located on the outer perimeter, also enter the black hole's sphere of influence.

The wreckage, mixed with seawater, was dragged into the black space.

Among the Siren wreckage deformed by gravity, a few power sources remained relatively intact and experienced secondary explosions.

Because of the sheer number of them, these explosions appear to occur continuously, with flashes of light appearing in the sea near the black hole from time to time.

Whenever a Siren's remains are dragged into the black hole and explode, the bottomless black hole seems to generate a fluctuation that is almost invisible to the naked eye.

After the fluctuations subsided, the black hole's gravitational pull seemed to slow down slightly.

"Does the effect of a black hole weaken after it swallows an entity?"

"No, that's not right. If that were the case, this thing would have been 'full' long ago after swallowing so much seawater."

Rob stood up anxiously and paced back and forth.

He felt like he had grasped the key point, but it also seemed like he was missing something.

"Lord Yukikaze thinks that dark thing, it seems like it has to pause for a moment after every time it eats something that's going to explode~"

Yukikaze, who had been standing there watching everything, imitated Robo by rubbing his chin like a little adult.

Xuefeng's words immediately enlightened Robo.

"By the way, that black hole is going to swallow explosive entities!"

Although he didn't understand the principle, that didn't stop Rob from giving it a try.

Because of the singularity, there is a barrier in the surrounding sea area—the same labyrinths that Rob entered through.

The black hole's influence is still expanding, and Rob has little room to retreat.

After Robb told his daughter about his thoughts, Joan of Arc seemed to understand.

He casually said, "Mission understood," and then tried to rush out.

Warspite quickly grabbed her, narrowly preventing the girl from doing anything outrageous.

"Based on the commander's plan and my calculations, rushing in and self-destructing is the most suitable option."

Joan of Arc, who had been pulled back by war-weariness, turned her head slightly, wanting to explain her actions.

"Oh, this..."

Her words only intensified the war-weariness.

I believe I have a certain understanding of Joan of Arc.

After all, she had stayed with Richelieu at the Royal Navy for a while, but Warspite never knew that the light cruiser Iris of Liberty had a tendency to self-destruct.

"Ahem, Joan of Arc, calm down!"

Robb's voice came just in time, stopping Joan of Arc's attempt to self-destruct.

"Um, Commander, could I actually give it a try?"

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Just as Robb had managed to calm Joan of Arc down, the voice from Baltimore rang out again.

"Don't be impulsive, I'll think of a solution!"

Rob quickly stopped Baltimore before he could finish speaking.

I never expected that Baltimore would fall ill at this time. She was usually fine.

"Commander, I don't mean to self-destruct! I mean, you can try this on my back!"

Baltimore explained to Rob, both amused and exasperated.

Hearing this, Rob finally felt relieved. So Baltimore wasn't planning to self-destruct after all!

"Ahem~ You should have said so earlier. Let me think..."
