Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Rob coughed twice to ease the tension.

Actually, he didn't have much to consider; the Baltimore plan was indeed the most suitable approach at the moment.

"Go do it, Baltimore!"

"Roger that, Commander!"

...

Baltimore, armed with a backpack called Fatum-01, heads toward the black hole.

Feeling the increasingly strong suction, Baltimore cautiously moved forward.

Only when she felt she had reached her limit did she leap from Destiny-01 and fly back at full speed.

Departure from Fate-01 is now moving forward fearlessly toward its inevitable demise, just like the original world.

Under Baltimore's control, Destiny-01 rushed into the black hole's gravitational pull at almost full speed.

The instant they were completely dragged into the black hole, a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire sea.

The black hole's gravity also faltered for a moment with that loud bang.

Chapter 258: Another Self-Destruction Master Emerges

Amidst the deafening explosions, both Rob's side and the Sirens' arbitration body focused their attention on the condition of the black hole.

The sudden halt in the gravitational pull gave Rob's side a glimmer of hope.

"The gravitational pull has disappeared, Commander!"

Over the communicator, Baltimore, who was closest to the site and the first to observe the current state of the black hole, sounded very excited.

"The black hole hasn't disappeared yet, don't get close!"

On the white wooden horse behind them, Rob was worried that Baltimore might get too excited and go over to check on things, so he quickly spoke up to warn her.

"Haha, Commander, I'm not a child anymore, of course I understand."

Baltimore is quite happy that someone cares about him.

Right, the tone of our own commander sounds rather subtle.

Touching the back of his head, Baltimore stepped back a little to continue observing the black hole that had not disappeared.

...

Since that violent explosion, the black sphere has been quietly rotating on the surface of the sea.

Intermittently, strange lights emanated from the bottomless darkness.

"Something feels... off?"

Baltimore, who was staring intently at the flickering black sphere, felt a strange sensation arise within him.

"Hmm? Is the wind picking up?"

A gentle breeze suddenly arose on the previously calm sea.

Baltimore smoothed her slightly disheveled hair. This wind seemed familiar.

As if she had just thought of something, Baltimore's pupils involuntarily dilated, and the thrusters on her back suddenly accelerated, carrying her towards the outer sea area.

...

On the arbitration side, aside from the idle Strynchus, Hermite and Tenpalans saw the data stream never stop flowing.

This weapon was being used in actual combat for the first time, so Hermite and the others were not sure what to expect.

However, due to the characteristics of sirens, at least they don't have to worry about any experimental accidents.

If it really explodes, it's just a matter of changing the container.

With the spirit of "if you can't die, then go all out," these two arbitration bodies chose a rather "good" position when recording the data.

"The data...does not match the design..."

While recording data, Tenpalans retrieved the weapon's design blueprints from the database.

It's easy to see from her performance that she was dissatisfied.

"Don't rush, it's not over yet."

Hermite's smile didn't disappear, even though her eyes were filled with flowing data.

Having higher authority than Tianpalance, she knew more.

Although the black hole was affected to some extent by RoboFang's interference, Hermite was not worried.

What we just experienced was nothing more than minor trouble for this weapon.

"Alright, it's time for us to move on. The data isn't fully collected yet, so it's not time to leave."

After saying that, Hermite took the lead and headed towards the outer sea area.

Even the Sirens knew they had to run away, so it was impossible for Robo's side to remain unresponsive.

Without Rob giving any orders, the group took off and sped off towards the more distant outer sea areas.

If it weren't for the singularity, which would still be a maze in the outer areas, Rob and his crew could have gone even further.

"What's going on outside?!"

At this moment, the gentle breeze on the sea had turned into a gale.

A fierce storm raged across the sea, and even in the night sky, clouds could be seen being blown towards the center of the ocean.

Several barely audible cracking sounds came from the black sphere, and the gravitational force that had disappeared returned to the sea surface.

Compared to before, it has a stronger appeal and a wider range of applications.

The immense gravity was tearing everything on the sea surface, and the black sphere was rapidly increasing in size.

At this moment, the gate to the abyss was finally opened.

...

"this..."

Rob stared in disbelief at the apocalyptic scene before him, a sense of dread rising from the depths of his heart.

"The Sirens... are they... like this...?"

Rob, who had always held the mech provided by the system, felt that the Sirens were nothing special.

Whether it's mass-produced ships or high-end items like the Purifiers, they are all utterly vulnerable in the hands of their own girls.

However, today, his understanding has been completely shattered.

The Sirens showed Rob only that you can still fight me because I still want to fight you.

Rob couldn't think of any way he could deal with the Sirens if they were to casually throw weapons of this caliber at him.

Unless... those more advanced machines in the system are taken out.

At this moment, under the influence of the Sirens' new weapons, Rob's fear of insufficient firepower finally kicked in.

He actually had some resistance to using those devastating weapons.

The reason is simple: he was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he might blow himself up.

But now, he probably can't care about that anymore.

...

"Human, do you have any way to send both of us there?"

Just as Rob was marveling at the Sirens' advanced technology weapons, the wounded dragon Meta approached him.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Flying Dragon Meta made a very strange request.

"Send you two...over there?"

Rob turned to look at the huge black hole outside, which was nearly five stories high, and was somewhat puzzled.

"Ah~ send us over there. If that thing continues to expand, the singularity will be pulled over."

"At that time, this place will probably be blown to bits."

Feilong Meta shrugged, indicating that if that thing wasn't dealt with soon, it would be beyond repair, and everyone would just have to wait to die.

"Do you have a way to solve that?"

Seeing Meta's state, Rob asked a question from another angle.

"Hmm~"

"What you just did actually had an effect."

"However, the explosives you just detonated were a bit under-exploded, so they didn't directly destroy that Eastern Heretic, but instead caused it to expand."

"So, this time, all we need to do is go over and detonate a 'bomb' with a larger yield."

"Wait, what you're talking about, the one with a larger yield... it can't be......"

Rob pondered what Hiryu Meta had said for a moment, and then looked at the ship in front of him with a horrified expression. This ship was completely different from the Hiryu he knew.

"Ah~ that's right, it's the two of us. I've done the calculations, and if we both overload our ship equipment and successfully detonate it, we should be able to blow that thing up."

As if he weren't the one getting blown up, Flying Dragon Meta recounted his plan with a smile.

"It's a pity that Rubik's Cubes can't be destroyed, otherwise, one person would be enough."

As if he had just thought of something, Flying Dragon Meta casually added a sentence, which made Rob's expression even more horrified.

Chapter 259: Since we all want to blow it up, let's blow up a big one!

"Um, I mean, if I understand correctly, your plan is to rush up and self-destruct, right?"

Taking two deep breaths, Rob looked at the Ember Dragon in front of him with a hint of frustration.

He was feeling a bit tired. Why was he surrounded by people with self-destructive tendencies?

So you're really sacrificing yourself for art?

"Ah~ your comprehension skills aren't bad at all!"

Compared to the dragon from Sakura Empire, the dragon from Ember spoke in a much more flippant tone.

“I said, according to common sense, you don’t need to go to such lengths.”

"Ah... how should I put it?"

Meta casually grabbed her full head of white hair, and her two slightly damaged long rabbit ears swayed back and forth with her movements.

"The company still cares about you quite a bit..."

"Besides, guarding the Singularity was my mission after all!"

A name that caught Robo's attention was uttered by the dragon Meta, and he secretly memorized it.

A violent shaking interrupted Robo and Meta's conversation.

The two hurriedly walked to the side closer to the center of the sea to check the situation.

On the sea, the black sphere had expanded to a diameter of twenty meters while Rob was speaking.

The good news is that it finally stopped.

"Looks like there's no time left. So, human, you have a plan, don't you?"

Rob stared silently at the dragon Meta, his grip on the railing tightening unconsciously until his fingers turned white.

The Flying Dragon Meta before him was undoubtedly one of the easier Ember ships Robo had ever encountered to communicate with.

If we want to make some contact with Ember, going through her is currently the best way.

But right now, all this thing is thinking about is self-destruction!

More importantly, Rob can't think of any other solutions besides the one proposed by Feilong Meta.

They simply couldn't find anything with a larger impact to blow up that black hole.

"Hey, hey, hey, you wouldn't be so reluctant to part with me, would you?"

With a playful smile on his face, Flying Dragon Meta looked at Robo teasingly, patting Robo's shoulder repeatedly.

Despite it being their first meeting, this Ember ship acted as if it were a complete stranger.
