"Don't be nervous. I'm just curious and want to take a closer look. Aren't you trying to delay time? You have the same goal as me, so there's no need to be hostile to me."
In fact, although this statement sounds very cost-effective, no one can guarantee what actions the observer will take after getting close.
Tiancheng could not guarantee that the observer would quietly watch to the end. Even if the other party could really wait, she could not agree.
Because when facing a strong enemy, losing distance means losing the initiative. Su Xin's melee ability is indeed outstanding, but as long as the repulsion field is there, she cannot exert her original strength.
In this situation, letting the observer get too close would squeeze Su Xin's operating space. Even if there were new changes, she would be suppressed by the opponent in the first place.
"She didn't ask you to come over, so... it's better for you to stay where you are." Tiancheng, who had figured it out, had a cold face and refused to give in.
The observer slowly circumvented the shells that were still advancing at a snail's pace and continued to move forward. The successive roars were not threatening at all under the influence of the repulsive field.
"Look, even if I don't stay where I am, what can you do? Is it any use just talking?"
Tian Cheng did not get angry but laughed, "You are just a turtle relying on its shell, what are you so proud of?"
"This is a very low-level provocation," the observer thought, "but seeing how confident she is... I just want to be fooled this time."
The repulsive force acting on the snail-moving shells was released, and under the pull of the earth's gravity, they fell into the sea one after another, and soon made several muffled sounds.
"Since you called me a bastard, let me see if you can be her tortoise shell.
The large-caliber Siren cannons fired one after another. Tiancheng could only rely on its own barrage to make the observer's shells explode in advance as much as possible. With full concentration, the situation was not bad.
Su Xin behind him frowned, took out the second [Meta Cube], pulled it into her body again, and continued to feed the [Virtual Port Area] with the "Experience Tank".
The observers' artillery fire was dense and dense. In order to ensure the safety of himself and the little commander, Tiancheng had to concentrate and keep his nerves tight to prevent omissions.
But the continuous firing consumed a lot of oil resources. The reserves in her space were sufficient, but what she lacked was time to replenish the oil.
"What? Don't you have time to replenish your calcium?" The observer was still approaching, firing and mocking, "It seems that you can't even be a turtle shell... Do you need me to give you some time to rest?"
Tiancheng didn't say anything. She knew that responding would only distract her.
If begging was useful, she would have spoken up immediately to buy some breathing space for herself and the little commander, but the observers' offensive increased instead of decreasing. It was obvious that they were just talking.
"I've seen your past. It's strange that you always seem to encounter similar things." The observer chuckled. "This isn't the first time you've been used as a shield. Could it be that you have some special fetish?"
Yes, Tiancheng thought, she was really good at being a protector, but it was a pity that the enemies were getting tougher and tougher, and her pressure was getting greater and greater. Otherwise, it would be pretty good to regard it as some kind of memory.
"Aren't you and the little cutie in love? Do you think...she is willing to be with you because you are her tortoise shell?"
In fact, Tiancheng, who was once extremely confident, would occasionally think so, but most of the time it would just flash by. Until that mistake, related thoughts appeared much more frequently.
"I'm curious, why were you so confident in helping Akagi back then? In the end, she was forgiven, but you were in an awkward position. Do you trust your own judgment so much?"
The shells that came raining down like rain seemed to cover the expressions of everyone in the port area: anger, resentment, confusion... These faces that she had seen before dazzled Amagi's eyes, making it impossible for her to remain calm and she was hit by several shells.
To be honest, it hurt a lot, but she had no right to cry out in pain.
It is said that crying children get candy, but she has no right to cry. Her confidence, composure... everything was ruined by that stupid decision.
"Oh, is the tortoise shell leaking air?" The observer stopped and chuckled, "Try harder, or your ex will get hurt~"
Tiancheng opened his eyes red as he heard this and poured oil into himself. The gun barrels of the ship gradually overheated and smoked. She wanted to tear apart this guy who provoked her, but she knew that if she moved a little, she would be beaten and unable to fight back.
At this moment, she still relied on the people behind her who were supposed to be protected by her.
She was very clear about how much [Siren] valued Su Xin. It was precisely because of this importance that the observer would confront her in a recreational manner. Otherwise, she might not last more than a second.
The fox always borrows the power of Su Xin to bully others.
Ever since the Little Commander's abilities grew, the gap between her and the other party became larger and larger. From being the Little Commander's pillar in the beginning, she has now become a weakling hiding behind the pillar.
The gap in strength widened too much, and the reversal of status gave Tiancheng a great sense of urgency, forcing her to regain recognition from other places and gain Su Xin's dependence again.
In the end, she chose the area she was best at. She wanted to help maintain peace in the port and handle all interpersonal relationships perfectly, but she failed miserably.
As the left side of the ship's gun barrel exploded, a large number of shells hit Amagi. It was very hot, painful, and smelled bad.
"The smell of gunpowder is so strong, Susu will definitely wrinkle her nose and run away, right...?"
"I am so useless..."
"If only you could be a little more powerful..."
"Be a little more powerful..."
"Be a little more powerful..."
"Again……"
Seeing that Amagi had no ability to resist, the observer stopped firing to avoid affecting Siren's precious little white mouse, but then she realized something was wrong.
"This color of energy flow... Wait, why is there such a progress in the initial experimental field?"
"Could it be that he was induced by those [Elemental Cubes] just now?"
Seeing Amagi's hair color gradually darker and his wounds healing rapidly, the observers finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
In order to prevent the precious observation object from being injured, she had to kill the battleship, which was transforming in an irreversible direction, as quickly as possible.
But before she raised her hand to fire, she heard a slight buzzing sound in her ear, saw blood splattering out of the corner of her eye, and her mind could no longer receive any feedback from her arm.
The faint gray-black energy lingering around Tiancheng seemed to be pulled away and peeled off like a thread, attaching to the matte silver-white blade.
"That's enough..."
A pale hand gently pushed the metal piece into Amagi's lips, and after confirming that she was being treated, it helped the unconscious ship girl lie down on the water.
The observer tilted his head to look at his right side. The cut on his shoulder was neat and blood was pouring out, staining half of his body with scarlet. The fallen limbs sank into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
She looked at the girl who had stood up again in the distance. It seemed that only two colors were left on her body. The contrast between black and white was extremely obvious.
"Ahh... what a hassle." The observer heard the other party say in a very helpless tone: "Look at my nails, they are so ugly, I never thought of dyeing them black."
"Originally, those dark golden eyes were so pretty. Look, now they've turned completely black. They're really not special at all..."
The observer felt something was very wrong. She always felt something was out of place until she saw the originally humble and cute little white mouse grinning at her with a crazy smile.
"This is all... your fault-!!!"
Chapter 736 Bad Kids (4 more
After the progress bar reached [75%], Su Xin filled her stomach with Rubik's Cubes every day.
[Mind Cube] can provide very little progress, not as good as [Meta Cube], but it is better in that it is large in quantity and not painful to eat.
After "eating" regularly like punching in, the progress of the [Virtual Port Area] is slowly moving forward. At this rate, it will definitely reach [80%] before my birthday.
But this time an accident suddenly happened. Harman's begging disrupted the little commander's plan. The overly powerful observer blocked the road again, forcing her to take a gamble.
Every time a new node is reached, the [Virtual Port Area] will bring new changes. Su Xin wants to try and see if this change can help her get rid of the obstruction of the observer.
At this critical moment, eating the [Meta-Cube] is obviously more appropriate. She doesn't care about the pain or the torturous burning sensation, and can only choose to absorb it.
There was icy-cold sea water beneath his butt, the sounds of shells being fired and explosions were in his ears, and inside his body was a painful purgatory like magma pouring down.
Su Xin listened to the observer's provocation and wanted to say that it was not the case. She wanted to express that she did not think that way at all, but she could not interrupt the process.
Precisely because she is being observed and is absorbing the Rubik's Cube in an inexplicable way, the observer cannot act recklessly. If she stops here, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Su Xin chose to believe in Tiancheng and absorbed the [Element Cubes] one by one. Finally, after absorbing the seventh [Element Cube] completely, the tenth digit of the progress bar finally jumped.
But she suddenly found that she seemed to be much more relaxed.
The observer on the opposite side seemed to be hostile, with a strong smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of his own sister, indicating that this hostility was directed at Amagi.
Su Xin didn't want Tiancheng to be hurt again, so she swung the knife, and the smell was changed as she wished, with a bit of bitterness in the surprise, the smell of fear.
When she opened her eyes, her vision became clearer, and she could even see the tiny particles surrounding Amagi, which were very dangerous.
Su Xin knew what this meant. She didn't want the situation to become irreversible. She wanted these terrible energies to leave her sister Tiancheng.
As a result, the energy was attracted, and the changing warship lost its strength and slowly returned to its original shape, allowing her to successfully stuff the small wrench into the other's mouth.
When she stood up again, Su Xin felt that she was very clear-headed, like a bird without any restraints, doing whatever she wanted without any worries.
She felt that thinking was unnecessary, she liked this freedom, and she freed herself from the constraints she had placed on herself.
She thought, "It's all your fault. You ruined my sister."
She thought: "It's all your fault. You made me look ugly."
She thought, "Bad boy, he must be punished."
So she moved, using the short knife that was constantly drawing [META] energy, and swung it again at the observer who was firing the cannon.
The dark and hard Siren ship's armor was flattened, along with several surrounding tentacles and a piece of the Siren ship's white hair.
"Who are you?!" The observer took a step back and asked subconsciously.
After countless years, she felt afraid again. The last time she felt such a strong emotion was when she faced the energy imbalance of [Enterprise], because she did not prepare a [Carrier] that time.
This time she had made sufficient preparations and had specially found the newest and best [Carrier]. Even if it was crushed into slag, it would not affect the main body at all. She should... have no worries.
"Oh... why are you afraid? It was obviously you who did something wrong, wasn't it? I'm just punishing you..." Su Xin tilted her head, feeling confused.
Compared to the bad boy's expression, the tentacles that plunged into the water attracted her more. "Hmm...what do they taste like?"
She raised her other hand and hooked it towards the water surface. Black energy instantly surged out of the blade, condensed into a beam, accurately caught the octopus tentacle, and rolled it back.
The high temperature caused the water vapor to evaporate, and the black tentacles were curled up due to the heat. Amid the horrified looks of the observers, Su Xin took the tentacles and gently took a bite.
"Hmm...almost chili powder...bad boy, do you want to try it?"
"You, don't be crazy! Damn it, if I wasn't so careless, I would never give you -
The black and white figure disappeared instantly and stood in front of the observer in the blink of an eye, with the tips of their noses just touching.
The observer couldn't help but look at Su Xin. He was frightened by the pair of pure black pupils and dared not breathe. He only heard the person in front of him whispering:
"Shh... don't be so loud, you'll disturb my sister's sleep..."
"Look, you did something wrong, didn't you? I don't like the corporal punishment. I prefer good kids. What do you think?"
The observer, whose hand was broken and whose tentacle cannon was cut off, spoke with trembling lips, "I'm... I'm sorry..."
"Oh... you're so sensible... but if you make a mistake, you have to accept the punishment. You... are not the real one, right?"
The observer stared with eyes wide open and dared not answer. Su Xin sniffed and smiled, "Ah... since it's not the real body... then please die as well? This is fair... right?"
Although its body still looked petite, the terrifying oppressive force and strange temperament made the observer lose the courage to escape, and he could only watch with tears in his eyes as the "human" opposite raised the butcher knife.
The blade was covered with pure black energy, and the high temperature burned the observer's snow-white neck red, but the girl in front of him had a gentle expression as if she was trying to coax him to sleep.
"Good night, child who has the courage to admit his mistakes..."
"No, don't—"
At the critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Commander Su, let's do this."
He paused, looked back, and suddenly realized, "Oh... it's you, [Enterprise], what do you want to talk to me about?"
"...That's it. I will take good care of Amagi for you, and I will also help you get York City out. You should hurry up and go to another battlefield."
Su Xin tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Yeah, you're right."
Then, as the observers breathed a sigh of relief, he casually cut a knife. The high temperature suppressed the splashing liquid and froze the bad boy's expression forever.
"But...she scolded Sister Tiancheng." Su Xin turned around and looked at [Enterprise], smiling, "I just want to do this, may I ask...is there any problem?"
"...No, you should leave now."
"Of course, of course..." The little commander held the blade and wiped off the blood residue, "You will keep your promise, right?"
"...Yes."
"Very good... I like people who keep their promises the most..."
Before she finished her words, the water beneath Su Xin's feet suddenly exploded, and she disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only the belated [Enterprise] and the unconscious Amagi.
"...I don't know if this is a good thing or not."
ps: It’s too late to finish the fifth chapter tonight. I will finish the incident tomorrow and return to my daily life.
Chapter 737 Coming Soon
In another sea area, both sides of the battle were tired.
[Helena] As a light cruiser, her ability to fight alone is not outstanding, and team support is her best area.
As a member of the Arbitration Authority, Stelchencus has fought against the Black Shadow and META ships countless times, and fighting is what she is best at.
