Azur Lane Mobile Front.

As she spoke, she walked up to Helena.

"Could you please give me a ride, Helena?"

As Helena Meta stepped forward, two similar yet dissimilar faces were almost pressed together.

"Eh..."

Helena looked at Rob with a helpless expression.

It was clear that she wasn't too keen on taking the job.

In her view, this meta-ship of hers was far too mysterious and troublesome.

"Hey, New Jersey, can you give her a ride?"

Even Rob himself would find Helena Meta very difficult to deal with.

Yes, in all aspects.

Instead, only New Jersey is the most suitable person to deal with this kind of character—she is, to some extent, a bit dim-witted.

"Oh, okay, no problem, honey!"

Hehe~

Helena breathed a sigh of relief at Rob's decision.

She no longer has to face this "self" that she's not good at dealing with.

As for Helena Meta, she simply gave a meaningful smile and said nothing more.

...

In the sky, New Jersey, with Helena Meta in its arms, rapidly ascended.

To be honest, if she didn't have someone else with her, given her personality, she would have jumped straight to the designated location.

"Hmm~ According to Helena, an attack should be coming soon!"

As she spoke to herself, the GN Sword units from New Jersey detached from her body and arranged themselves in a circle in front of her.

The next moment, a beam of light shot down from the clouds toward New Jersey.

"Hmph~ They really came!"

"Could you please cover for me?"

Seeing that the silly girl clinging to her looked like she was about to rush up and fight to the death with the other side, Helena Meta had no choice but to remind her from the side.

"Eh? Oh! No problem, leave it to me!"

As he spoke, New Jersey controlled his GN Sword unit to expand the circle.

A particle shield immediately blocked their path.

"Hehe~ That should do it!"

In just a short while, New Jersey realized that the attack was quite straightforward.

They all came from that direction in the sky.

In this situation, a particle shield is sufficient to handle all circumstances.

On the other side, Helena Meta reached out her hand towards the sky.

Strands of purple silk threads stretched out from her slender, white fingers, spreading towards the sky.

Before long, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

"That's enough, you can go back now, Miss New Jersey."

Retracting the thread, Helena Meta looked at New Jersey with a serious expression.

"Huh? That's it? I wanted to try firing a couple more shots at it~"

Clearly, in New Jersey, people don't think they can come for nothing, nor can they take the beating for nothing.

"There's no need for that. In fact, under the current circumstances, your attack wouldn't be effective against them."

"..."

Sensing that Helena Meta might know something, New Jersey suppressed his eager expression and nodded slightly.

...

"how is the situation?"

Upon seeing Helena Meta and New Jersey return, Rob immediately inquired about the situation.

"The situation may be much more complicated than we imagine, Commander."

How complicated is it?

"Hmm~ I don't know, Commander. Have you ever heard the story of Schrödinger and the cat?"

Helena Meta pondered for a moment, then looked at Rob with her usual enigmatic smile.

"what?"

Chapter 724: Simple Beauty!

Rob had heard the story of a certain cat abuser and his cat, which was both alive and dead, many times, even in his previous life.

However, he never expected that he would one day encounter such a situation where "when in doubt, quantum mechanics comes to the rescue".

"Hiss~ If I understand correctly, you mean that when those 'attackers' are observed, their state changes?"

"Hehe~ Commander, isn't your understanding quite good?"

Helena Meta chuckled and nodded.

"Wow~ That's easy!"

Helena Meta's explanation made New Jersey feel enlightened.

"We can just close our eyes and shoot! It's not that hard!"

Helena Meta turned to look at a certain smug-looking goofball, and remained silent for a long time.

“Um… New Jersey, I think observation and seeing should be two different things.”

It took Rob a long time before he finally spoke to New Jersey about it.

"Huh?"

A rather amusing expression immediately appeared on the silly face of the creature.

"Well, how should I put it? I would say that when you become aware of the other party's existence, you've already observed them."

"Hey~ Isn't that pretty cheating?!"

"Ah, so you're thinking about how to solve this?"

If we have to talk about solutions, Rob does have some ideas.

However, judging from Cleveland and Helena's descriptions, these things are at best at the level of access control.

Whether Yorktown or Shimakaze handles this problem, I feel like I'm losing out.

"I'll handle it."

The company's meta-management team simply said this and then got up to leave.

Having long been accustomed to being alone, she didn't remember to turn around and look at Rob until she reached the door of her room.

"Um... teacher, how do I get out of here?"

(Why does this company's meta seem a bit dull?)

Are you sure you can solve this?

"can."

The company's meta nodded, but hesitated for a moment when he saw the disbelieving look in Rob's eyes, before finally speaking again.

You should know that she rarely explains her actions within the Ember Fleet.

"This kind of thing must be the work of the arbitration body Hermite."

“I’ve seen something similar before.”

"...Ding'an, see her out."

Although he always felt that there was little difference between the company's meta statements and not saying anything, Rob still decided to let her give it a try.

Besides, Rob can't just treat her as one of his own ships just because she's being polite.

Ultimately, the two sides are just in a cooperative relationship.

...

The company's meta was sent to the sea.

Inside the Spirit Turtle King's ship, Robo and his fleet were also keeping a close eye on her.

It wasn't for any other reason; I just wanted to see how she would solve this problem.

"Um, honey, what method do you think she'll use to solve this?"

Resting his head on Rob's shoulder, New Jersey stared at the screen in front of him with curiosity.

"I don't know, and also, move your head away."

Rob answered expressionlessly, casually shoving a silly-looking head off his shoulder.

"Hey~ No, honey~"

...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Enterprise Meta released its carrier-based aircraft.

The next second, these carrier-based aircraft transformed into streaks of dark light, like sharp swords, piercing straight into the sky.

However, in the eyes of Rob and his friends, there was nothing particularly special about this action.

"Carrier-based aircraft?"

Rob muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.

Even Yorktown, standing to the side, had a look of nostalgia on his face.

The carrier-based aircraft used by Enterprise Meta are almost identical in model to its own.

...

Rob and the others only saw Enterprise Meta launch its carrier-based aircraft, but they didn't see Enterprise Meta looking up at the sky, its eyes now regaining their luster.

It even radiates a faint, dazzling light.

As she said before, the world itself, in her eyes, becomes something else entirely.

"..."

She stared silently at the sky, maneuvering the carrier-based aircraft that were now moving so fast that their shapes were no longer visible.

Meanwhile, as Enterprise Meta's carrier-based aircraft approached, those attacks that had occurred before resurfaced.

This time, their targets were Enterprise Meta's carrier-based aircraft.

Beams of light and projectiles rained down from the sky, weaving a net in the air.

And those carrier-based aircraft, transformed into black streaks of light, swam freely within this dazzling net.

Immediately afterwards, the cannons of the carrier-based aircraft opened fire.

"Huh? Launching an attack directly, but wouldn't that be ineffective?"

On Rob's side, New Jersey cried out in alarm upon seeing the corporate meta launch a "reckless" attack.

However, the next second, the expression on her face froze.

Because, as the attack from Enterprise Meta's carrier-based aircraft arrived, it was as if a fireworks display was being held in the sky.

One after another, dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky, one after another, gradually dyeing the entire sky a different color.

"this..."

Rob stared in disbelief at everything on the screen.
