Azur Lane Mobile Front.

The adjutant's words stunned the officer who had just been furious.

Oh right, it seems that this Miss Fox isn't from their Donghuang ship?

...

Just as the adjutant said, the current Sakura Empire.

Well, if Robert hadn't left some people here, Sakura Empire would probably have just started rebuilding by the time he returned.

However, even so, several ports were once again reduced to ruins under the Sirens' gunfire.

A deep beam of light swept across the battlefield as Shigure's figure darted around the Sirens' fleet.

The gravity cannon's firepower was enough to destroy any one of these Sirens.

but...

There is only one Shiyu, but countless Sirens.

"Senior, I'm afraid it will take me some more time."

"ASAP!"

Mikasa's voice was somewhat muffled.

The frequent shelling somewhat drowned out her voice.

It's also possible that this senior colleague was genuinely tired.

Shigure looked back at the port, which was already engulfed in smoke, gritted his teeth, and charged into the Sirens' fleet.

"We've decided that this place will never be reduced to ruins again!"

A dark beam of light once again streaked across the sea.

...

Port Toulon.

The Vichy Papacy forces, already severely damaged in the previous attack, went back to the battlefield without even having time to repair their ships.

Since the main gun was unusable, they resorted to melee combat with cold weapons.

These ships, which usually yearn for a romantic life, are now covered in wounds.

Behind them lies the land that has been ravaged by war several times.

They didn't know if they could stop the Sirens' attack.

They knew that this time, probably no one would come to rescue them.

"Damn it, we haven't even settled our score with those royal bastards yet, and we're already going to sink here?"

Jeanbart's situation is now even worse than it was last time.

The main gun was fired without undergoing proper maintenance, which caused it to explode.

Her flagpole had also broken by then.

However, she stubbornly held up the flag bearing the Vichy emblem with her hands.

Her comrades are still fighting; she cannot fall yet.

Moreover, sinking is not actually a terrible thing.

"Anyway, it's not the first time...heh~"

...

The observer's live stream vividly portrayed the tragedies unfolding around the world to Rob and others.

Even at such a distance, everyone could still feel the sorrow of that life lost.

Perhaps, even if they win this time, some familiar faces will never be seen again.

"All troops—continue the attack on the core data tower!"

Rob took a deep breath.

He forced himself not to think about those images.

Because he knew that the battlefield he was on was the place that would truly determine the fate of the world.

"Commander? I understand!"

The company was the first to emerge from those images after Rob's voice rang out.

She gritted her teeth and charged towards the sirens ahead.

"..."

Long Gate, located at the back of the array, had a serious expression on his face.

Her head was bowed, making it impossible to see her expression.

Of course, being alone on a warship, no one could see her expression at this moment.

"..."

There was no sound, only a single phase-shifting cannon shot, which represented her attitude at that moment.

The ripples of spatial distortion once again enveloped the builder's core data tower.

The sound of the shield shattering rang out once again.

But the next second, or perhaps the previous second, those shields reappeared once again.

"..."

Space distorted once again.

At this moment, Nagato completely disregarded the condition of her ship.

She frequently used the phase-transfer cannon.

Because she knew that as long as her attacks continued, the Builders would have to allocate enough energy and computing power to support the reconstruction of the core data tower shield and the rewind of time.

"trans-am raiser!"

The voice of New Jersey has lost its former vitality.

Those golden eyes, gleaming with light, revealed a burning rage.

"I no longer want to understand your thoughts."

"Because you are the point of distortion in this world!"

Chapter 431: Richelieu Awakens

Rob's ships launched an even more ferocious attack than before, catching the observers somewhat off guard.

Many waves of attacks landed around her.

"This... according to common sense, shouldn't be developing like this."

A blank expression, tinged with confusion, appeared on her smiling face.

This face, more like a machine than a living thing, is ultimately more like a machine.

"Don't you understand why?"

At that moment, a voice rang out from the direction of the door.

"These are what we call 'variables'!"

There was excitement in that voice.

However, the owner of this voice made everyone present widen their eyes.

Because, that is also an observer.

"Hmm~ everyone, it's been a long time. Whether it's that one from Donghuang, or Ironblood or Ember."

The fair hand that played with the tentacles brushed across the cheek, adding a touch of allure to the observer's beautiful face.

"And another observer..."

The observer abruptly changed the subject, his golden eyes fixed intently on "himself" in the distance.

"Commander, two observers have appeared on the battlefield."

The company glanced at the newly appeared observer and then went back to what it was doing.

In her view, one or two observers are irrelevant.

"I know, ignore her. Keep attacking the core data tower. I refuse to believe her backtracking is limitless!"

With artillery fire raging overhead, the distance between the two observers grew ever closer.

"As expected, Lady Zero ultimately chose the path she was familiar with."

"Sure enough, the observers of this world have undergone unpredictable changes."

"Yes, I will make a point of keeping your data when the erasure plan is completed."

Two observers, facing each other at a distance.

"The purge plan? Heh heh, are you so sure it will actually be completed?"

The observer of this world gave the observer from outside a meaningful look.

"What's the meaning?"

"Hmm? Haven't you noticed that the expansion of the Mirror Sea has stopped?"

"Oh, I forgot, you don't have permission to enter this world."

"you!"

"Hmm? Is that strange? It seems your understanding of the world's structure isn't deep enough."

"The simplest way to stop the expansion of the Mirror Sea is naturally to create another Mirror Sea that is incompatible with it around it, right?"

Whether in dialogue or facial expressions, observers from this world are far more human than outsiders.

Perhaps this is what outsiders mean by the unknown changes.

"I can't understand..."

As the two observers conversed, the outsider's expression grew increasingly rigid.

Her previous expression was merely a simulation created using her own computational abilities.

Once she increased the computing power, she naturally lost the ability to maintain her expression.

"Huh? We should be the same model, don't you understand?"

"Question: How many times have we conducted the same experiment?"

"This experimental field is numbered 237A-759a-562-β."

"Look, we've conducted these experiments hundreds of millions of times. But have we found the answer?"

No.

"So, I've been thinking, maybe we've chosen the wrong direction."

"No, the direction determined by the judge is not wrong."

"Ah~ the direction determined by that lord is certainly not wrong."

"I mean, we're the ones who're wrong?"

"Our research has consistently shown that the metamorphosis of ships and their mental cubes is closely related to emotions."

"To prevent ourselves from becoming meta-ized, we have sacrificed most of our emotions."

"Or rather, given our composition, we shouldn't even have emotions."

"But in this experimental field, I saw something different."

"That was the dazzling light that emanated from the emotions between humans and ships."

"Since all our hundreds of millions of experiments have failed, why can't I try a different approach?"

Why is there only one path to finding the answer?

"So, if that's the case, why can't I continue the experiment in a different direction?"
