After leaving the world of all NPCs

The raging waves of the North Sea surged with lead-gray crests, and the biting cold wind carried tiny ice crystals.

Belfast stepped on the undulating sea, the lace hem of her maid's skirt fluttering in the wind.

"The second batch of supply convoy was intercepted by the Iron Blood Fleet...?" Belfast whispered to himself, raised his hand gracefully, and the radar array on the ship began to rotate.

Sheffield appeared beside her like a ghost. "Is she the opponent again?"

Belfast smiled faintly, "Yes, I'm an old friend now. It's time to put an end to this once and for all."

On the distant horizon, Norfolk was nervously adjusting the equipment on board. "But... our current combat capability is insufficient to directly confront a battleship."

"Don't worry, the headquarters is well prepared. A King George V-class battleship is on its way to support us." Belfast turned calmly and said, "Our mission is to track and restrict the actions of Iron Blood and Siren before then."

She suddenly raised her voice: "Invincible, Musketeer, I'm leaving the reconnaissance ahead to you!"

The two destroyer girls immediately saluted: "As you command!"

Their figures disappeared among the waves in an instant.

Belfast took a deep breath, and the gun barrels on the ship began to warm up: "Come on, boys, let's start hunting the behemoth!"

The sea fog in the distance was suddenly torn apart, and Scharnhorst's steel ship broke through the waves.

"We meet again, ladies of the royal family."

The main guns mounted on the surrounding ships slowly turned.

Belfast curtsied gracefully. "The Royal Battle Maids offer their morning greetings to your ship! If it weren't for your sudden visit, we might be enjoying afternoon tea at the harbor in Scapa Flow right now."

The muzzles of the ship's guns lit up at the same time.

"So, could you please sink it right here?"

The perfect maid smiled and said the final declaration of war.

The Scharnhorst's ship's armor hummed with heavy machinery. "Still so aggressive! It seems another battle is inevitable."

"Well, it's time to warm up this body that's almost frozen by the icy sea."

"Scharnhorst—engage the enemy!"

With a roar, the sea surface was suddenly illuminated by artillery fire.

boom!

The shells exploded into huge water columns on the water surface. Norfolk suddenly cried out: "Ah! The radar and boilers have been severely damaged. The battle can no longer continue..."

Scharnhorst sneered, "That's enough! We won't continue to bother with you annoying little guys. We have more important tasks!"

Her ship began to turn.

"Turn 150 degrees, advance at full speed, and evacuate the battlefield immediately—"

Belfast wiped the gunpowder from his cheeks. "Are you planning to escape again this time? We haven't even finished warming up yet. Sheffield, how are you doing? Can you still continue the pursuit?"

Black smoke billowed from Sheffield's ship: "I'm very sorry, there's a problem with the power... We can't go at full speed."

Belfast nodded: "I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."

Sheffield looked up: "What are you going to do?"

Belfast rushed out like an arrow from a bow: "Well, we can't let this opportunity go. Those ugly sisters owe our royal family too much debt!"

Two traces appeared in the icy sea.

Scharnhorst turned around and saw Belfast chasing him alone. He showed an incredulous expression: "A single ship has caught up... A single light cruiser dared to challenge a battleship head-on?"

Belfast's ship began to overload and energy gushed out from all directions: "For the Queen's reputation and the glory of the royal family, I am willing to dedicate everything I have -"

All gun muzzles lock onto the target simultaneously.

"All guns aim—enemy ship Scharnhorst, fire!"

Bang bang!

The shells flew out, gradually growing larger in the air, and the terrifying firepower instantly filled the sky.

A glint of respect flashed in Scharnhorst's eyes. "That's admirable. I apologize for calling you hypocritical ladies earlier. In return, I will give you my all. Are you ready?"

The main gun completed loading and immediately unleashed firepower!

boom! boom!

Amidst the interweaving of artillery fire, Belfast's ship equipment suddenly exploded violently.

Scharnhorst looked down from above. "What a poignant display of fireworks! How do you think you can catch up with me now that you're so badly damaged? Well, let me give you a glorious end as a warrior should. All guns on board, aim—"

boom!

A shell came through the air.

Suddenly, the front main turret "Anton" of the Scharnhorst was reduced to scrap metal in the explosion.

"The front main turret was destroyed!? Where did the shell come from?!"

The severely wounded Belfast smiled weakly. "I also know that the six-inch guns can't penetrate your armor, so at least... we have to gain some advantage for them."

Behind the sea fog, smoke billowed from the Duke of York's cannon. "Hey, sorry, sorry, you're not dead yet. We'll take over the remaining big fish."

She waved.

"All destroyer fleet, cover Belfast's retreat."

Invincible and Musketeer responded immediately: "Yes, sir! Smoke bomb cover begins!"

"There's actually another main fleet out there. I hadn't noticed anything before." Scharnhorst looked around at the suddenly appearing Royal Fleet. Suddenly realizing something, he smiled wryly, "You knew your main guns couldn't penetrate the battleships, so you were targeting the radar towers... Hahahaha, I'm completely defeated by you."

Duke of York's naval equipment was fully deployed and the 406mm main gun was slowly raised.

"I'm so sorry to interrupt your duel, but now, your opponent is me~"

The sea breeze blew her long pink hair, and her pointed elf ears were faintly visible.

The Duke of York raised his chin slightly, his light blue pupils reflected the flashes of artillery fire, his red British uniform outlined his proud curves, and under his black miniskirt, his long legs wrapped in black stockings stepped on the waves.

"Greetings from the Duke of York, the third King George V-class battleship."

On the fully deployed ship, all the gun barrels were turned, and powerful energy gathered within them.

"All guns aim—enemy ship Scharnhorst, fire!"

Boom boom!

The sea and sky were instantly dyed red by the artillery fire.

Two voices were heard from somewhere in an experimental facility.

"As before, Scharnhorst was sunk by the Royal Navy under the Duke of York at the Battle of the North Cape."

"This is a predetermined outcome. Even with slightly stronger power, it cannot change anything."

“There is no particular point of disagreement this time.”

"Then according to the original script..."

The observer's words suddenly stopped.

Over the North Sea, the firefight that was already coming to an end suddenly stopped, and all the ships present looked up at the sky.

boom!

The water surface suddenly began to surge, and part of the sea level gradually sank to form a circular hole.

Immediately afterwards, a "white sun" slowly rose from the hole, radiating terrifying energy to the surroundings.

"Is that a Rubik's Cube?"

The Duke of York and Scharnhorst looked up at the same time and stopped the fight.

The waves emitted by the "white sun" were very familiar to their group of ships, but there seemed to be some differences.

hum!

Instead of the blue halo that symbolized construction, an incomprehensible white halo suddenly spread out.

"Woo!"

"what?"

The two women were startled at the same time and were enveloped by the white light. Their figures disappeared instantly, as if they had never existed.

The "daylight" that suddenly appeared also disappeared.

The sea returned to calm.

Hidden in the darkness of the experimental facility, the observer exclaimed in shock: "Is this the Tunguska explosion? No, that's not right. It's a phenomenon similar to the Tunguska explosion, but completely different."

That is an inevitable event in the history of the earth.

Incredible phenomena were discovered in the "meteorite fragments" recovered from the explosion site.

Meteorites can synchronize with the surrounding natural environment. In short, they blend into the surrounding environment, plants, soil, rocks, and even living things, becoming a part of them and incorporating some of their own elements into them.

The cube developed since then is the Rubik's Cube, and later the Mind Cube that can build ships (KanColle) was developed.

The simple definition of the Mind Cube is that it is a faucet in high-dimensional space, which can continuously convert and release the energy of high-dimensional space into the low-dimensional world of the ship, thus achieving an effect almost like a perpetual motion machine.

The energy just emitted is undoubtedly high-dimensional energy, but it is somewhat different.

……

【Ding】

Duke of York: Now Online

Scharnhorst: Now Online

Ye Zuochen hummed and asked doubtfully, "Strange, this time the online process seems a little different."

[It was discovered that this universe contains the energy of thought manifested by the spirit, and that life forms and ships possess mind cubes, as well as structures created by the assimilation of spirit and matter.]

【Identify】

[It has been confirmed that the two life-form ships have been transformed into the assimilation of thoughts and microcosmic bodies.]

If the spirit of an offline life form transforms back into an elf form and returns to the universe,

What the system calls "thoughts" actually refers to the unknown energy emitted by life emotions and spirit.

According to psychics and gods, it is the astral body.

Magicians in World 235 (the original Godkiller novel) sometimes consume magic potions to transform themselves into astral bodies and move around in the underworld.

However, Ye Zuochen prefers to call this astral body composed of thoughts "primordial spirit".

In short, according to [Big Light Ball], the two ship girls of "Azur Lane" that went online this time are not simply bodies whose consciousness came to this world through a "filter", but their original bodies in the universe have been transformed into astral bodies, and can only be assimilated with the bodies in the [NPC world].

"Wait a minute, since transforming into an astral body allows this kind of travel, can I also transform into an astral body and travel to the universe outside the God Slayer Universe?"

Ye Zuochen suddenly asked a question.

To this, [Big Light Ball] has only one answer.

[This feature is missing]

Fine.

Ye Zuochen sighed, and his figure moved instantly to the port area.

The port area is very large and has various buildings. At this time, the Duke of York and Scharnhorst suddenly came online and got together.

"Is this your trick, royal maid?"

Scharnhorst unfolded his ship and questioned the Duke of York.

The Duke of York held his cheek in his hand. "My prey, you, once at the end of your rope, seem to have fully recovered. So I must sink you once more."

Having said that, neither woman took action.

This is really weird.

There are familiar ships everywhere, but they have no souls. Their bodies and ship equipment are still there, and they can move and speak, but they have no souls and can only move according to the established trajectory, just like NPCs in the game.
