I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

Looking at the carrier-based aircraft appearing above the Royal Ark in the distance and seeing the bombs falling towards the Royal Ark, the Prince of Wales was stunned.

She didn't even look at the series of counterattacks that Rafi had already prepared.

Interrupting the Prince of Wales's attack was only one of the purposes;

At such a close distance, the Prince of Wales had no way to avoid her torpedoes.

Deliberately being swept away by the Prince of Wales, Lafite had four torpedoes in her hands that she had already held.

Relying on the extraordinary strength of the ship girl, Laffey threw the torpedo out with force, hitting the Prince of Wales.

The flames produced by the torpedo explosion engulfed the Prince of Wales, but the Prince of Wales did not hide at all. He just stared blankly into the distance, watching the mirror image of the Royal Ark slowly sinking into the sea.

Once again, she watched her compatriots disappear before her eyes.

Tears rolled down the Prince of Wales' eyes. Seeing this, Lafite was stunned.

Why did the Prince of Wales cry?

Doesn’t the mirror ship girl have no ship girl’s emotions?

After the torpedo exploded, it was the Prince of Wales's body that was covered with bruises. Even the battleship girl could not withstand the strengthened torpedo of Lafite.

However, the Prince of Wales seemed not to see all this. His eyes, which were the same color as Lafite's, were occupied by something.

It's hate!

She hated her own weakness, hated her own powerlessness, hated the Sirens who treated them as pawns, hated the ship girls who killed the Royal Ark, and hated the girl in front of her who stopped her and made her watch her compatriots sink once again.

Starting from the position of the Prince of Wales' heart, black lines spread, covering her bright red military uniform bit by bit.

If someone could see the Prince of Wales' mind cube, they would find that her mind cube was slowly changing from azure blue to black and red.

The power of KanColle is the power of the mind, and the power of the mind is also the power of emotion.

And hatred is also a kind of emotion.

So, when this hatred exceeded the limit that the Mind Cube could bear, the Mind Cube that constituted the Prince of Wales finally sublimated.

At this moment, the Prince of Wales touched the realm she had always wanted to reach.

The power beyond the limit caused cracks in the Prince of Wales' mind cube. The Prince of Wales felt it all, seeming to cry and laugh.

Ah, is that so? Is this what she has always wanted?

Stepping into the realm of the Sirens, the Prince of Wales could no longer feel any joy.

Some are left with only endless loneliness.

"At least, to set you free."

The Prince of Wales looked at the counterattack still fighting in the distance and wanted to smile, but found that he could no longer smile.

Prince of Wales, training level 101, cognitive awakening!

……

Chapter 96 Tester

"Deploy the hull!"

A cold and merciless voice came out of the Prince of Wales' mouth. Her bruised and battered body, covered with black lines, unexpectedly showed a strange beauty.

Cognitive awakening?

Rafi was not very clear about what conditions were needed to break through the level 100 limit in the real world. As far as she knew, if a ship girl wanted to break through her own level limit, in addition to reaching the maximum level of 100, she also needed the assistance of a mental unit.

But, feeling the pressure from the Prince of Wales, Rafi is certain that she has broken through that level on her own.

The black and red lines were so desperate and ominous, as if the soul was exiled into the abyss of pain and wailing.

If he had known the emotions of the mirror ship girls before the battle, and knew that they were not emotionless puppets, Laffey might have tried to communicate with them.

But now, they have sunk the Ark Royal and forced the Prince of Wales into such an ominous color.

Fighting is unavoidable.

The black and red madness rose from the Prince of Wales and spread, sweeping across the entire sea in just a few seconds.

All the ship girls felt an indescribable sense of fear in their hearts, as if they were being stared at by some terrifying existence.

The ship girls who were damaged more than three times were fine, but the ship girls with lower training levels could not even muster the thought of resisting the Prince of Wales at this time.

It was like a low-level life form meeting a higher-level life form. There was only a one-level difference, but the Prince of Wales gave all the ship girls a completely different feeling.

The cold naval guns gradually materialized on the black and red light curtain. From the muzzle to the gun core, and then to the entire turret, the battleship's deck, bridge, and hull were all wrapped in black and red lines, and a huge steel battleship appeared on the sea.

"So complicated."

Seeing the Prince of Wales's appearance at this moment, Laffi fiddled with her bunny ear hair accessories and muttered softly.

She tried her best to face the Prince of Wales before he awakened, and even took the risk of getting close to him and throwing a torpedo at him when he was distracted.

Now, the Prince of Wales has successfully awakened, and his combat power has obviously reached another level. How should we fight him?

The combat power doesn’t seem to increase much after cognitive awakening in the game, but how can games be compared with reality?

For ship girls, cognitive awakening may be an increase even greater than an ordinary breakthrough.

Compared with the giant hull of Prince of Wales, Laffite is like an inconspicuous ant that would be crushed to death with a slight squeeze.

However, just as Rafi was preparing for an attack from the Prince of Wales, a voice sounded in Rafi's mind.

……

The aura radiated by the Prince of Wales also affected Long Island not far away.

And the Royal Ark and others sank the Mirror Royal Ark. Before Long Island could breathe a sigh of relief, such a change happened to the Prince of Wales.

Could it be that what the Prince of Wales showed before was not his full strength?

Whether it is Laffey or Prince of Wales, the strength they have displayed is overwhelmingly powerful. Even though they are both legendary ship girls, there is a huge gap between the training level of 92 and the training level of 100.

However, if they could free up their hands and give Lafite some assistance, the situation would definitely be better than it is now.

So Changdao took the risk and attacked the Mirror Royal Ark, and luckily sank it.

As long as she sinks the counterattack that is fighting Wichita on the other side, the two legendary ship girls and Laffey will work together. Even if Prince of Wales is a full-level battleship, it will not be able to hold out for too long under their siege.

There is not enough time. The Sirens are gathering more and more around. If they don't defeat Counterattack and Prince of Wales, the ship girls responsible for resisting the Sirens will be the first to collapse.

"Anyway, let's first work with Wichita to defeat that mirror image ship girl who looks similar to Counterattack, and then go together to help Senior Laffey."

No matter what changes have taken place in the Prince of Wales, they can only trust Lafite now.

After confirming that the response of the Mirror Royal Ark disappeared on the radar, Nagashima did not notice the carrier-based aircraft that was launched before the Mirror Royal Ark sank.

It broke through the clouds, dived into the sky, and then when everyone's attention was distracted by the Prince of Wales, with a black flame-like light, the last carrier-based aircraft of the Mirror Royal Ark arrived above Long Island and the Ark Royal.

"careful!"

Someone shouted this, and Changdao and Royal Ark looked up. The carrier-based aircraft of Mirror Royal Ark were already within reach.

"Damn it! They've already been sunk, but they still won't let us go?"

Nagashima hastily raised his anti-aircraft gun. Although the light aircraft carrier had fewer carrier-based aircraft than a real aircraft carrier, it had more equipment for air defense.

However, how could the carrier-based aircraft that embodied the last bit of strength of the Mirror Royal Ark be destroyed by Changdao's ordinary anti-aircraft guns?

To put it bluntly, the air defense value of a light aircraft carrier is not as good as that of some ordinary destroyer girls.

The Royal Ark had suffered a lot of damage in the previous battle with the mirror image, and all the carrier-based aircraft used as a defensive force had been released. The Royal Ark could only watch the torpedo plane burning with black flames flying towards it.

As a fellow Royal Ark, the Royal Ark was well aware of the power contained in the final blow of the Mirror Royal Ark, which was enough to completely sink it.

In other words, is this the end?

Humans will experience a revolving lantern before they die, and it seems that the same is true for KanColle.

Looking at the carrier-based aircraft gradually approaching her, Royal Ark felt that everything around her seemed to slow down, and every bit of the past emerged in her mind.

From the time she was born, the time she spent in the port, the time she met the commander, the time she performed carrier-based aircraft in front of Sheffield...

The first half of the Royal Ark's life, until the moment the port was destroyed, was followed by a long and lonely wandering.

Then, her wandering career ended the day she picked up a javelin. What really made her get over the past was meeting Rafi and the time she lived with him.

When Laffey held her hand and said, "I will always be with you from now on", at that moment, Royal Ark felt that she was the happiest ship girl in the world.

Everything in the past has disappeared, and the new life of the ship has just begun.

However, isn’t such a happy time too short?

Royal Ark thought about it and smiled bitterly. She was always praised for her luck, but it seemed that she was not so lucky.

Hey, but why did it end only in the first half when we were supposed to have a carousel?

"Royal Ark, if there's water in your head, please tell me and I'll find a way to fix it for you."

The maid's cold tone startled the Royal Ark. She opened her eyes and saw on her left a white-haired girl who was wiping her sword. She must be a super cute destroyer sister. On her right was Sheffield who was squinting at her with a look of disgust.

The Royal Ark felt its body and found no parts were missing.

She's not dead!

"Go and help as soon as you wake up. The battle over there is no longer something we can intervene in."

The Royal Ark looked up and saw that a black crack had appeared on the island that served as the control center of the Mirror Sea, almost splitting the entire island in two.

On the sea around that island, Laffey and Prince of Wales, who were supposed to be enemies, somehow joined forces, and Long Island, Wichita, and Counterattack were also there.

On the edge of the island where thunder and lightning were intertwined, the pale figure of the girl showed the momentum of a giant, even more powerful than the Prince of Wales after his cognitive awakening, and she overwhelmed the ship girls present to the point of suffocating them.

Although he had never met the other person before, Royal Ark somehow mentioned the girl's name.

"Tester!?"

……

ps: Oh, I don’t know why, but every time I write about Ark Royal I feel very comfortable and can act like myself.

Chapter 97 Variables

"Thank goodness the Judge listened to the Observer and made me spend so much effort to build the Mirror Sea in this abandoned battle line.

, now it seems that the individual valued by the observer is just like that. "

Hidden in another space in the Mirror Sea, a white-haired woman with orange-yellow pupils used some Siren technology to monitor the entire Mirror Sea. Naturally, she also saw the ship girl who was fighting with Prince of Wales and others.

The most active among them are the three legendary ship girls: Laffey, Long Island and Wichita.

The Royal Ark, which was of the same model as the Mirror Royal Ark, also made the tester look sideways, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

However, what the testers were most concerned about was Lafite who was fighting with the Prince of Wales.

This is not the first time that the testers have established a mirror sea, and they have encountered attacks from the ship girls countless times.

The most highly trained ship girls she had ever seen were Enterprise from the White Eagle and Bismarck from the Iron Blood. Both of them had reached level ninety-nine, only one step away from the upper limit of level one hundred.

The highest level of training among the ship girls other than these two is only level 98.

The testers were very curious whether Enterprise and Bismarck, after reaching level 100, could break through the limitations of the Mind Cube and reach the same level as them.

I just didn't expect that in addition to Enterprise and Bismarck, there was actually a ship girl who quietly reached this limit for ship girls.

The seventh ship of the Benson-class destroyer, named Laffey, does not look anything special and her performance in battle is average.

The reason why it is so powerful is because of its own training level, the golden graduation equipment, and the modified hull.

Rare equipment is not so easy to collect, because the ship girls do not have the ability to develop equipment independently, and can only rely on sinking their Siren warships to obtain technology boxes or blueprints.

As for the modification of the hull, the tester was a little confused. At this point in time, the destroyer Lafite should not be able to be modified.

However, even with the advantage of equipment and transformation, it is not easy to defeat the meme she carefully cultivated.

A battle between a destroyer and a battleship is like an egg hitting a stone, and the possibility of winning is slim.

Changdao and the others had no idea that this mirror-like sea area did not just have one layer, but a special double-layer structure.

The mirror ship girls led by Prince of Wales occupied the first layer of the mirror sea, and the testers occupied the second layer of the sea.

Even if you defeat the Prince of Wales, if you want to leave this sea area, you will still have to face special Siren ship girls like the tester, the so-called BOSS-level Siren.

"If you can defeat the Prince of Wales, I can let you go. I have already collected new data. It's a pity for the Royal Ark. Her mind cube has probably reached its limit."

Although she said it was a pity, the white-haired woman's playful smile looked like she was looking at a group of low-level animals locked in a zoo.

No matter what unexpected actions are taken, they will not threaten her existence.
