Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

"Since I woke up this morning, I have sensed the surging energy fluctuations within the Imperial Sacred Tree. Lord Son of God, what exactly happened within the Imperial Sacred Tree's barrier?"

At this time, Mutsu seemed to be preparing some kind of heavy Sakura ritual. An elliptical illusory light golden vortex was constantly twisting and expanding in the space in front of Mutsu.

Seeing that Lin Lan and the other four had doubts in their eyes, Nagato stopped keeping them in suspense and explained:

"Shortly before the New Year's Day Festival began, the Great Sage contacted me from within the Imperial Sacred Tree Barrier, asking me to bring the Commander into the Imperial Sacred Tree Barrier after the New Year's Day Festival."

"Akashi Chenshi brought a 'demon king' girl obtained from the Siren stronghold into the sacred tree, and the aura on her body awakened the will of disaster remaining in the branches of the sacred tree."

Hearing Nagato's calm explanation, Lin Lan's eyes widened and he blurted out in shock:

"What? The Will of Disaster... the Invisible Breath has been awakened?!"

He originally thought that although there was some accident within the Imperial Sacred Tree barrier, it should not be anything particularly dangerous.

But what he never expected was that Nagato would tell him such a big "surprise".

The Invisible Breath is a terrifying existence that is closely related to the mysterious enemy X, and even has the ability to destroy the world!

How could Nagato take his time to tell him such an important thing until now?

Chapter 649: The Sacred Tree Being Gnawed

Compared to Lin Lan's surprise, Bai Long, who was carrying the large sword on his shoulder, showed a smile of anticipation and excitement, and laughed impatiently:

"Ha, that's great. I heard Shimanto-sensei say how powerful the disaster was before, but he was killed by the great sage with one sword. This time it's my turn to try out the sword."

As long as he has the knife in his hand, Bailong seems to have no idea what fear is.

As a powerful fourth-phase scientific research aircraft carrier and the most powerful aircraft carrier girl in the Sakura Empire camp, her words are not arrogant.

But what Nagato said to Lin Lan next poured cold water on Bai Long's high spirits:

"Commander, according to the Great Sage, the will of the Invisible Breath that was awakened was only a fragment and has been destroyed by her."

"It's just that the aura of that demon girl is still a little strange. The Great Sage and Musashi have already controlled her. You need to check it out yourself."

When Lin Lan heard what Changmen said, he suddenly remembered something he had almost ignored.

Yesterday, before the Purifier handed the Demon King over to them, he seemed to have told him that he needed to use light elements to stop the erosion of the Demon King's body.

At the time, he thought the Purifier was just joking with him, but now it seemed that he really had to handle it himself.

As for the fact that the fragments of the Invisible Breath's will were resolved by Yun Xian, Lin Lan was not surprised.

Yunxian was able to kill the real body of the invisible breath in the Dayu Divine Tree, let alone it being just a fragment now?

After Lin Lan told several Sakura Empire shipgirls what he had heard from the Purifier in the Siren Fortress yesterday, Bai Long sighed as if he was not interested and said:

"What? It was solved by the great sage again."

"If you really want to practice, there are probably four more Demon King Army officers in Liaozhou, so there are plenty of opportunities."

After Lin Lan comforted Bai Long, Senior Mikasa also laughed:

"Commander, you are right. If the Demon King's Army is really related to the disaster, I will arrange for Chikuma to strengthen intelligence gathering on the Demon King's Army on Inaba Island."

Hearing this familiar name, Lin Lan also remembered that the Tone-class heavy cruiser Chikuma, the second ship, was an intelligence officer responsible for collecting intelligence in the Sakura Empire camp. She was absolutely professional.

That sexy bunny-eared heavy cruiser can carry a large number of seaplanes. From what Mikasa said, it seems that Chikuma has already started working secretly on Inaba Island.

"Hey, the Demon King's Army, what an interesting opponent I'm looking forward to."

While Haku is looking forward to future enemies, the secret technique that Mutsu is currently working on is about to be completed.

While waiting for Mutsu to open the passage to the sacred tree barrier, Lin Lan was suddenly pulled by Shinano.

The big white-haired fox, who exuded an ethereal temperament even in reality, looked at him with her hazy cobalt blue eyes, and the originally lazy expression on her breathtakingly beautiful face was now dignified.

Shinano seemed to notice something was wrong with him and said softly:

"Commander, why are you so confused... Have you seen things you forgot in your dreams recently?"

Although Shinano's voice was not loud, it made everyone concentrate on using the secret technique to open the barrier of the sacred tree.

Except for Mutsu, several Sakura Empire ship girls all cast unexpected looks at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan was also surprised that Shinano could see the problem in his dream at a glance.

He did intend to ask Shinano about this matter, but he didn't expect Shinano to bring it up on her own initiative.

But the memory fragments of the original world that he dreamed of should be the work of the Siren. Why did Shinano say that they were confused and forgotten memories?

"Ever since I was captured by the Observer and you rescued me in my dream, I have been dreaming about the experiences of the creator of the Siren from time to time."

"I also dreamed about these memories last night, but the problem is that these memories have nothing to do with me. How could I have forgotten them?"

Lin Lan, of course, explained the origin of his "illness" and told this trustworthy dream expert about his troubles without hiding anything.

"The creator of Siren... This is too bizarre. How long ago did that happen? How could it be a memory that the commander has forgotten?"

After hearing what Lin Lan said, Mikasa touched her chin and hummed in confusion.

Shinano also looked at Lin Lan in surprise, with the white fox ears on his head drooping slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Commander, I cannot help you with this situation. But according to my speculation, this situation is harmless and will be resolved as your memory gradually recovers."

"If the Commander is unable to sleep because of worry, I can help you sleep more comfortably."

Shinano finally stated her conclusion, but Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh when she heard Shinano say that it was impossible to get rid of this dream that was similar to a memory.

It seems that the observer's manipulation of him is far more complicated than he imagined.

But there is still good news. Shinano has already determined that this kind of memory dream will not harm him, which is enough to make him feel at ease for the time being.

As for what the Observer did to him, he could only ask it the next time he met the High-level Siren.

As Shinano finished his words, the passage in front of Mutsu had already opened.

"Commander, everyone, follow me into the Imperial Divine Tree barrier."

"Mutsu, please ask the guards to guard here. We should be back soon."

Nagato said approvingly to Mutsu, motioning for everyone to follow her into the barrier.

Accompanied by Mikasa, Haku and Shinano, Lin Lan touched the cute Mutsu's head, then followed Nagato's steps and entered the passage of the sacred tree barrier.

When he stepped into the light golden vortex, he found himself outside the Kamiki Shrine where he had arrived last night.

This also made Lin Lan understand. No wonder it took Mutsu so much time to prepare the secret technique. It turned out that he had directly set the location where they would appear here, saving a lot of climbing distance.

The sky was still as dark as at night, with visibility extremely low.

But when he set his eyes on the sacred tree in the courtyard in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp.

Mikasa and the other two who appeared right after him also stopped in their tracks and looked shocked after seeing the appearance of Mikamiki at this moment.

"The sacred tree... is broken?"

As Mikasa had been here last night, her voice was filled with

A tone of confidence.

Just as Mikasa said, the sacred tree in front of Lin Lan and others at this moment is no longer as full of vitality as it was yesterday.

The thick trunk of the sacred tree seemed to have been bitten off in half by some huge monster. Two-thirds of the crown above had completely disappeared, and the broken part looked extremely hideous and tragic.

What’s even more exaggerated is that Lin Lan suddenly seemed to realize something and raised his head to look at the sky.

In the sky, rolling black clouds filled with an ominous aura covered the sky, rolling continuously as if they had life, as if they would sweep down and swallow everyone in the next moment.

Since he arrived at the Imperial Sacred Tree barrier last night, he did not feel anything out of place with the dark sky.

But just as he discovered the abnormality, it should have been bright here.

It was these black clouds, no, to be more precise, it was the black flowing air that completely obscured the sky, making the environment as dark as the night.

"Invisible Breath..."

Lin Lan whispered the name that the Sakura Empire camp had given to this horrific disaster, and he also felt the same discomfort and disgust from the black aura that covered the sky and the sun as he had felt from the black wriggling matter on the Demon King's army before.

Until this time, Lin Lan could finally be sure that the invisible breath and the aura of the Demon King's army were definitely from the same origin.

However, in addition to confirming this, the shock in Lin Lan's heart went far beyond that.

Because he felt that the air around him, which made him feel uncomfortable, seemed somewhat familiar.

It was as if he had been there before.

"Yes, the singularity of Huanyang City!"

Lin Lan frowned, and he finally remembered where this discomfort came from.

Back then, on the sea surface of Huanyang City, black particles representing meta energy kept floating in the air around the black storm that wrapped around the singularity.

Although there were no black meta particles floating in the air around them at this time, the discomfort it brought him was far greater than the discomfort he felt in Huanyang City at that time.

Chapter 650 Redemption and Futility

"Meta...what exactly is it?"

"Meta energy, the Demon King's army, and the invisible breath... no, now they should all be called the mysterious enemy X. What is the relationship between them?"

This discomfort did not cause any substantial harm to Lin Lan, but he found that there was probably some connection between the two, which made him feel even colder.

Gazing at the terrifying sight in the black sky, Lin Lan recalled how he felt when he was in the Iron Blood camp and smashed the meta crystals for the mecha girl Shattered Sky every day.

After the meta barrier was broken, the negative emotions that briefly surged up in his heart, could it be that they were the essence of meta energy?

For some reason, Lin Lan came up with such a guess.

"I believe in you, assistant. You can do it... the children... salvation..."

Suddenly, an intermittent, unfamiliar female voice sounded faintly in Lin Lan's mind, causing him to suddenly withdraw his gaze from the air and look around.

But when he looked in the direction he found, he found nothing except the rocks and trees on the original Snow Sakura Island Mountain.

"Commander, what are you looking for?"

Shinano noticed his movements and asked curiously.

Just when Lin Lan was wondering if the voice was his illusion and was about to explain it to Shinano.

The next second, a loud voice filled with madness, anger, and unwillingness suddenly exploded from the sky:

[This is in vain——]

[This is in vain——]

【This is...】

This voice from the sky attracted the attention of everyone, including Nagato.

But it seems to only repeat this sentence, and like an echo, the sound gradually becomes smaller each time it resounds.

Finally, as the raging black aura in the air slowly became illusory and transparent, the voice completely disappeared, and the bright sunshine finally fell on everyone again.

The feeling of depression and discomfort that Lin Lan had felt before also disappeared as the black aura in the sky dissipated.

Compared to the strange voice before, Lin Lan knew more clearly who the owner of this voice with its own echo effect was.

A boss that was once active in the game, capable of transforming into a black behemoth, the Invisible Breath X Penumbra.

"What? If you're angry, come down and fight! What's the point of thunder without rain?"

But before Lin Lan could recover from the sound of the invisible breath, the sharp green sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, and the white dragon, who had already summoned the ship equipment, pointed the sword at the sky and shouted angrily.

She was already prepared to fight a powerful enemy, but this is what she had to see?

This generous aircraft carrier girl, who was itching to fight, felt that she had no place to use her strength.

"Nagato, has the will of disaster within the sacred tree barrier really been resolved? What just happened was..."

Mikasa ignored Haku and quickly walked over to Nagato who was waiting for them in front and asked anxiously.

When faced with Mikasa's question, Nagato's tone became a little uncertain:

"That's what the great sage told me before the New Year's Day. I didn't expect that the will of disaster has not been completely resolved yet..."

Lin Lan and Shinano, who also deployed their ship suits and was surrounded by dark blue butterflies, walked to Nagato's side.

.

Seeing that Mikasa and Nagato had not mentioned the sound he heard at the beginning, he was certain that the intermittent sound before the Invisible Breath X Penumbra Echo was probably only heard by him.
