Each Admiral stared at the screen, and seeing that their Ship Girls were fine, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great, they haven't sunk, and they're still continuing the capture operation."
It's good that they're fine. The screen went black for a few minutes just now, and the situation was quite critical at the time, so they thought everyone had been wiped out.
"That's great, Little Sara is fine, but why is the team advancing? Have they defeated the second Abyssal Princess already?"
"Of course! Look at how strong our Ship Girls are; those are two Epic Ship Girls and a Ruler!"
"I wonder if the Third Abyssal Princess will be easy to defeat. I just hope not too many Ship Girls sink, after all, they are the hope of us humans."
"Phew! That was close! I almost thought I was going to die. Thankfully, heaven protected me." Seeing that the group of Admirals didn't beat him up, Wu Goudan relaxed. This money was really hard-earned! It was too terrifying; if the screen hadn't recovered, he would have definitely been torn apart by these Admirals.
Oh, and I also need to thank Admiral Yang Xue. If she hadn't shouted in time, his face would definitely have been smashed! Gazing deeply at Admiral Yang Xue, Wu Goudan was very happy. She helped him so much just now, Admiral Yang Xue must have fallen for him, he thought shamelessly: 'As expected, being handsome really makes a difference!'
Perhaps Wu Goudan's gaze was too intense; Admiral Yang Xue's mature and sexy body couldn't help but shiver, as if sensing something. "What's going on? Why does it feel so cold in broad daylight!"
Rubbing her arms, Yang Xue looked around but found Wu Goudan, with his beer belly, eyes narrowed, staring at her very lewdly. Frightened, she quickly turned away, not daring to look back.
Yang Xue fearfully sought out a friend and hid beside them. After calming down, she couldn't help but wonder, 'What does that guy want to do? He wouldn't be plotting to do something bad to her, would he!'
Seeing Yang Xue hide with a friend, Wu Goudan wasn't disappointed. Instead, he thought she must be shy. Admiral Yang Xue was truly cute!
...Illustrious and the others had arrived at the outer perimeter of the Third Abyssal Anchorage. In the central area, there was a thick, impenetrable black cloud. It was obvious that the Nightmare Abyssal lay beneath it.
That powerful aura made the Ship Girls gasp for breath, their faces turning pale, and their speed on the sea halved. Among the Ship Girls, only Illustrious, Dido, and Souryuu remained unfazed, making the surrounding Ship Girls exclaim in admiration, 'As expected of Epic Ship Girls, their strength is truly remarkable!'
However, it was only natural for ordinary Ship Girls to experience this phenomenon. The power of this Nightmare Abyssal's aura was at least three times stronger than the previous two Nightmare Abyssals.
"Boom..."
As they advanced, a giant red beam, five meters in diameter, suddenly shot out from the opposite Third Abyssal Anchorage and attacked them.
Illustrious was first-rate in terms of perception. She was one step faster than Dido and Souryuu, but the giant beam was too fast and contained immense power, startling Illustrious. 'No, I must get everyone to dodge quickly,' she immediately shouted to the Ship Girls: "Danger! Everyone, quickly dodge to the left and right, hurry!"
The Ship Girls, seeing that it was Illustrious, the captain of the Third Mobile Fleet, giving the order, felt a bit strange as to why Illustrious was telling them to dodge. They hadn't perceived any danger around them, so what were they dodging?
But she was a Ruler after all, and perhaps her foresight was stronger than theirs, so they obediently dodged to the left and right.
As soon as the Ship Girls finished dodging, they saw a giant red beam, carrying an aura of destruction, strike. Wherever the beam passed, space vibrated, the air was continuously cleared to form a vacuum zone, and the sea was directly split in half, forming two-meter-high walls of water.
"Boom..."
The Ship Girls closest to the giant red beam only felt an intense burning sensation on their skin. They were closest to death; if they hadn't listened to Illustrious and had been a step slower, these Ship Girls would have suffered heavy casualties!
The beam grazed past the Ship Girls' shoulders and continued forward without losing speed. Not far away was a small island, and the red beam directly struck its peak.
"Rumble!"
The small island immediately erupted in a giant red light, a huge hole appeared in the black clouds in the sky, and a beautiful yet destructive mushroom cloud rose into the air. The small island was instantly leveled under the mushroom cloud's destruction.
The explosion generated a huge shockwave that spread rapidly in all directions, reaching the Ship Girls in a blink of an eye. Hearing the explosion, the Ship Girls had already activated their energy shields.
But even the aftershock made their defenses feel a bit strained and difficult to maintain. It was hard to imagine what would happen if they were hit head-on, but they would definitely be blasted into dust, given that the small island was instantly leveled, let alone their small Ship Girl bodies.
Illustrious's expression became a bit grave. If such a powerful red beam could be fired continuously without restriction, then the upcoming battle would be extremely difficult, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it would be a near-certain death.
After sensing the Third Abyssal Anchorage, Illustrious found that the Nightmare Abyssal didn't fire another giant red beam, and her slightly grave expression became calm. The giant beam just now was powerful; after investigating its energy, she found it was at least twice as strong as Dido's Abyssal Dragon Black Star Cannon.
If it could be fired continuously without restriction, that would be truly strange! One must know that Dido's Abyssal Dragon Black Star Cannon was fired only after a long period of power accumulation!
Knowing there was no further danger, Illustrious discussed with Souryuu and Dido. As the flagship, Dido shouted to the Ship Girls: "Everyone, relax. The previous attack will not be fired again. We will rest and adjust here, then launch an attack."
After the aftershock passed, and with the Ship Girls' anxious hearts settling, they began to discuss the red beam.
"That was really dangerous just now! The red beam suddenly fired from the other side, I almost thought I was going to sink from that power!"
"Exactly! But luckily, Admiral Illustrious sensed it beforehand and told us, otherwise we would have been done for!"
"By the way, who do you think is stronger among Dido, Souryuu, and Illustrious? I'd say it's definitely Admiral Illustrious, after all, she was the first to sense it, hehehe! I really want to give her a hug!"
The Ship Girls gathered in small groups, chatting away, one after another, like a bustling market.
Haman clasped her hands together, grabbing her skirt, and pouted angrily, saying, "Haman was so scared! Whose Abyssal attack was that? Attacking without even a greeting, how rude!"
Haman was the Ship Girl closest to the beam just now. The giant red beam destroyed her main cannon, and the subsequent water wall drenched her completely. She was now like a drowned rat, which was quite pitiful.
