"Who told you I don't have a Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl?" Princess Fiona snapped her fingers, and Illustrious and the others, who had been wearing black robes, immediately took them off and threw them aside.
Looking at the lead Ship Girl, Hiddell looked surprised: "It's you, Illustrious! Wait, there are twelve Ship Girls in the world named Illustrious; it might not necessarily be that legendary Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl Illustrious."
"You probably aren't that Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl Illustrious, right!"
"If you are talking about that Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl Illustrious, then it should be me, because my strength just happens to be that of a Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl." Illustrious smiled faintly.
"What? It really is you! Damn it! Fiona! Is this your trump card for attacking my palace with such confidence?" Hiddell gritted his teeth.
"Are you done? Then prepare to die!" Countless golden Ship Qi circulated within Illustrious's body, and countless golden Ship Qi enveloped her like flames. A terrifying and majestic pressure spread outward with Illustrious as the center.
With a light kick, Illustrious, who was flying in mid-air, clenched her five fingers tightly. Powerful Ship Qi rapidly condensed on her fist, and then she struck fiercely. A massive energy fist, fully three zhang in size, shot out.
"Saint Eugen, save me!" Watching the massive energy fist, Hiddell immediately shouted.
"Ara! Ara! I didn't expect Illustrious, who is rumored to be the fastest to reach Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl status, to actually appear here. This really surprises me!" A black hole appeared beside Hiddell, and a White-Haired Girl walked out from it.
After seeing the White-Haired Girl, Hiddell immediately calmed down. "Great, with you here, I'm not afraid anymore."
Looking at the lightning-fast incoming fist, Eugen was not afraid at all. She raised her right hand, joined her five fingers, and countless golden Ship Qi gathered on her palm. Then, she struck with force, and a three-zhang-large energy handprint struck out like lightning.
Once the energy handprint was unleashed, space trembled. Wherever it passed, the air was instantly cleared, and countless air rushed back to fill the void, hinting at the power of the handprint.
Under the Gaze of countless people, the energy handprint tore through the sky and collided fiercely with the incoming energy fist. In an instant, a thunderous sound exploded in the palace, and an energy shockwave that caused space to ripple surged out from the center of the explosion, finally spreading in all directions.
Seeing the energy shockwave approaching, Atago immediately deployed a Ship Qi Shield for Princess Fiona. On Hiddell's side, with Eugen blocking in front and his own Five-Star Epic Ship Qi Shield, he was very calm after having double protection.
Fiona watched the battle between Illustrious and Eugen in shock. "Is this the battle between Legendary Ship Girls? It is truly formidable! It inspires awe!"
"Boom...!"
Countless energy shockwaves leveled the entire palace to the ground.
Rolling dust made it hard to see, but Illustrious waved her right hand, and all the dust receded.
After their vision cleared, the people present looked at the palace destroyed by the energy shockwave from the two's collision and couldn't help but gasp.
King Hiddell muttered in a low voice: "The mere aftermath destroyed the palace. The strength of a Legendary Ship Girl is truly terrifying. They say that Legendary Ship Girls are walking human nuclear bombs; it seems that is not an exaggeration!"
Standing in mid-air, Illustrious looked down at Eugen below. "You are the Sixth Saint of the Deep Sea Cult, Eugen?"
Eugen smiled slightly: "That's right! I am Saint Eugen. With me here today, you won't be able to hurt King Hiddell even a single hair!"
"Hmph! Ridiculous! No one can stop me, even if you are the Sixth Saint of the Deep Sea Cult, the result will be the same." Illustrious said with a look of contempt.
Illustrious burst out with powerful golden Ship Qi. She reached into the void, and a ship-slaying great sword appeared in her hand. She immediately gripped the ship-slaying great sword and shot towards Eugen.
The lightning-fast Illustrious turned into a streak of golden light. Wherever she passed, low sonic booms rang out. The sonic booms were dull and chilling, like the sound of underwater torpedo explosions.
Watching the lightning-fast incoming Illustrious, Eugen looked calm, without the slightest panic.
Spreading her hands, Eugen looked up at the sky and said in a majestic voice: "Legendary Ultimate Domain — Twilight Garden!"
Eugen erupted with a golden pillar of light, which quickly spread outward.
After the golden light touched Illustrious and enveloped her, Eugen brought Illustrious into her domain.
A domain is a world egg unfolded by a Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl that replaces the original world. Once activated, it can change the surrounding space into a completely different landscape. One's own size and the world's size will be swapped, and the world is completely locked into a small container.
After Illustrious was enveloped by the golden light, a while later, the golden light disappeared, and she found herself in a garden. The sun was at the moment of setting, emitting golden light.
The garden was full of pink five-petaled flowers, which emitted a pink mist. Illustrious took a deep breath. Hmm! It smelled so good! It made one want to linger!
After inhaling the floral scent, Illustrious accidentally fell for it. Yes, she fell for it. This was definitely not her falling for it on purpose; it really was an accident. You all must believe in her character.
Unexpectedly, hallucinations appeared in Illustrious's eyes. Countless peerless beauties were walking towards her. These beauties were all Ship Girls, and among the familiar ones were Atago, Belfast, Dido...
These Ship Girls had one thing in common: they weren't wearing any clothes. Illustrious couldn't help but swallow her saliva. "Happiness always comes so suddenly. Hey! Beauties, I'm coming..."
While Illustrious was fighting hard in the domain, the battle outside was also very intense.
After Eugen unfolded the domain and pulled Illustrious into it, Princess Fiona told Atago to go and break Hiddell's Ship Qi Shield.
However, just as Atago was about to rush over to break it, another black hole appeared beside Hiddell, and the Light Cruiser Demon and Hiddell's royal guard walked out of it.
Seeing the Light Cruiser Demon and the others appear, Atago and the others rushed over without saying a word.
Atago and the others each sought out their decided opponents based on what was discussed during the meeting.
Atago fought the Light Cruiser Demon, Vicious fought the European Chijime, Saratoga fought the Guard Chijime, and Essex fought the Twin Chijime.
Both sides fought fiercely in the sky, with collision sounds occurring from time to time. The battle scene was quite spectacular.
Gripping the ship-slaying great sword, Atago swung it continuously, unleashing hundreds of sword qi slashes that struck towards the nearby Light Cruiser Demon like lightning.
The hundreds of sword qi slashes were stunning in power, and they looked so dense that it was quite difficult to dodge.
Facing so many sword qi slashes, the Light Cruiser Demon was not afraid at all. She raised her long sword high, and countless red Ship Qi condensed on the long sword.
The long sword began to form a giant red energy sword. The giant energy sword began to grow larger and longer, starting at three meters, then nine meters, and finally twenty meters.
The huge light sword, reaching twenty meters in length, appeared in the sky. The space around the light sword began to tremble, and an aura of destruction radiated from the light sword.
Watching the hundreds of sword qi slashes incoming like lightning, the Light Cruiser Demon frantically circulated the red Ship Qi in her body. Feeling her whole body filled with power, she immediately swung the light sword continuously.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The hundreds of sword qi slashes were continuously cut into fragments by the light sword, and the fragments slowly disappeared in mid-air.
After the hundreds of sword qi slashes were cut down, Atago and the Light Cruiser Demon stopped and stood in confrontation not far away.
"I am the Light Cruiser Demon, the Eighth Catastrophe of the Deep Sea's Ten Great Catastrophes. What is your name!" The Light Cruiser Demon smiled. She was fighting very happily, and Atago's strength was not bad, which put her in a good mood.
Atago's ears twitched as she said, "I am the Sakura Empire heavy cruiser Atago! The current captain of the Atlantic Military Police."
The Light Cruiser Demon's expression turned icy in an instant; the Deep Sea Cult and the Military Police were sworn enemies, always ready to fight to the death upon meeting.
"The Military Police, huh! I know them, I know them. Always stopping our Deep Sea Cult from expanding—I'm quite familiar with you lot! Since you're the captain, you must have killed quite a few of our cultists. Today, I shall sink you on behalf of those who died so miserably."
Atago said sternly, "In human society, your Deep Sea Cult does no good and commits every evil imaginable. As the Military Police, we naturally must stop your Deep Sea Cult's operational plans to prevent you from disrupting the order of human society."
"Don't say our Deep Sea Cult is so evil; we do all this to save the world. You Ship Girls have already hindered our grand plan to save humanity," the Light Cruiser Demon said with a sanctimonious expression.
"A fine plan to save the world, yet you constantly attack humans. Is this what you call saving the world?" Atago mocked.
The Light Cruiser Demon sneered, "Attacking humans and saving the world are not contradictory. Humans are the pests of this planet; they are greedy, selfish, and brutal, engaging in endless wars, seizing the habitats of other animals and plants, cutting down forests, emitting pollutants, and destroying nature. Ever since humanity was born, they have been constantly draining the vitality of this planet."
"To prevent this planet from being destroyed by human hands, only by annihilating all humans can the world be saved."
Atago shook her head and said, "Your methods are too extreme. Not all humans are bad; there are good people among them. I believe humanity will awaken and make changes, and then the world can survive sustainably. You cannot condemn everyone based on the actions of a few; that is wrong."
The Light Cruiser Demon said disdainfully, "Awaken and change! Hmph! Naive, absolutely ridiculous. Have you heard the human saying? 'A dog cannot change its habit of eating feces.'"
Atago raised her ship-slaying great sword and pointed it at the Light Cruiser Demon, saying, "It seems you Deep Sea are determined to continue down this path. Then I certainly cannot let you proceed; I will surely stop your plans!"
"Hmph! You Ship Girls really are humans' dogs, actually protecting them like this. It seems we must eliminate you first." The Light Cruiser Demon raised her giant red energy sword and shot toward Atago.
In the blink of an eye, the Light Cruiser Demon reached a range where she could attack Atago. The giant energy sword in her hand was like red lightning, carrying a fierce force that caused the very space to ripple, as she slashed down at the Atago before her.
Calmly watching the giant energy sword approach, Atago's expression remained composed. She conjured a scabbard with her left hand, slid her katana back into it with her right, placed her hand on the hilt, and assumed a draw-sword stance. Countless streams of red Ship Qi gathered on the ship-slaying great sword. Once her momentum reached its peak, Atago slowly drew the blade out a fraction and paused.
The blade flashed with red light. In her eyes, the giant energy sword grew larger. Only when the Light Cruiser Demon's giant energy sword was a foot away from striking Atago did she finally move.
"Abyss Zero Slash!"
With a low shout, Atago drew her blade with force, and a five-zhang-long red crescent energy blade erupted from the katana.
The crescent blade created a series of sonic booms. With a loud bang, it struck the Light Cruiser Demon's giant energy sword, instantly cleaving it in two.
The severed giant energy sword crashed down, but it caused no harm to Atago. The giant energy sword vanished and reverted into its original longsword form. As the giant energy sword fell, Atago flashed behind the Light Cruiser Demon, gripping her ship-slaying great sword tightly, and unleashed a diagonal slash.
The Light Cruiser Demon was quick-witted and immediately blocked with her longsword. Countless red Ship Qi wrapped around the blade, causing it to erupt with red light. After the longsword turned into a light sword, the Light Cruiser Demon's strength increased, and with a powerful swing, she sent Atago flying.
Atago, sent flying, immediately stabilized her figure. Before she could recover, the Light Cruiser Demon flashed in front of her, wielding the light sword, and unleashed a horizontal slash at Atago!
Atago immediately gripped her ship-slaying great sword and unleashed a vertical slash. The sword and blade clashed fiercely. A low sonic boom rang out suddenly, and an energy shockwave that caused the space to ripple surged outward from the point of impact, spreading in all directions.
The two exchanged a blow, clashed again, and finally began trading strikes with each other.
"Clang, clang, clang...!"
In mid-air, the two constantly flashed around the area. Every time they reappeared, the sword and blade would clash, creating intense sparks, before they flashed and vanished from the spot again.
...
Vicious was facing the European Chijime. After fighting for a while, the two separated and stood in mid-air, confronting each other.
"Before I kill you, let me introduce myself. I am the Iron Blood Destroyer Vicious!" Vicious said coldly.
"My name is European Chijime. Don't be so fierce with me; I'll be scared." The European Chijime feigned a look of fear.
Vicious frowned; the European Chijime's look of fear was too fake. "Cut it out! You've successfully disgusted me, you know that?"
Seeing Vicious's look of disgust, which she found very cute, the European Chijime teased, "Little cutie, your skin is as smooth as cream, white and tender. Instead of fighting, why don't you play some fun games with me!"
"Fun games?" Vicious asked, puzzled.
"It's where big sister ties you up with red rope to a chair, and I, wearing leather clothes and pants, pick up a whip and give you a whipping of love. It's very satisfying, you know. Try it once, and you'll definitely be hooked." The European Chijime said with a yandere expression.
"Officer! There's a per, a pervert here!" Vicious, seeing the European Chijime's expression, said in immediate terror.
"Calling me a pervert! How rude. I just wanted to make friends with everyone and live in harmony!" The European Chijime pouted.
