Azur Lane: Traveling through time and becoming a Siren!

Chapter 1000: Inviting Jiang Mengyue to her death!

......

And not far from the Great Holy Domain.

A hidden place.

The Siren gathered at the experimental field.

Cleaner, tester, observer, builder, purifier.

All staff members of the experimental unit, and... two arbitrators.

Strencus, Herophette.

The two women were invited by the observers to come and watch, since the arbitrators, who had their own experimental "projects," would not know what would happen here next.

Looking at the dark clouds suppressed by the barrier in the distance, the observer exclaimed excitedly, "The great divine tree, which should have withered, has now regained its vitality!"

"Calamity and divine power appeared together, and the 'breath' that should have been suppressed actually showed a strength that surpassed its peak."

"Is it for coexistence, or has it already perished? Is what exists now merely a phantom of the past?"

"Hahahaha, ahahahaha, let's wait and see! Is this the end of the experimental field, or just a glimpse of Lady Jiang Mengyue's power?!"

......

Amagi walked to the lakeside and looked at the Great Sage in the center of the lake.

The great sage subtly used his magic.

The once calm lake surface suddenly turned deep.

The lake disappeared, and Amagi and the Great Sage were separated by a cliff.

But below the cliff, a completely different scene unfolds.

The place where Amagi was just trapped...

The light from the Great Sacred Tree seemed even more dazzling.

The great sage spoke, "The great divine tree, which should have withered away, has now regained its vitality."

"But it brings not protection, but disaster."

"The Tiancheng I knew has been dead for many years. The current situation must be aided by the Sirens, right?"

"But the aura around you... are you the one I know, or an imposter of the Sirens?"

It seemed that they had noticed the great sage's spying.

The "breath" that had originally been surrounding the floating island suddenly climbed up the abyss.

The great sage waved his hand gently, and the lake reappeared.

She herself seemed somewhat exhausted.

"I thought... the power emanating from the Sacred Tree would nourish me..."

"But now, this is also a trap set by you Sirens, isn't it?"

Just as the city was about to explain something.

The once tranquil space suddenly began to shake.

A black crack appeared in the clear night sky.

The dark aura began there, polluting the sky.

The bright moon hanging high in the sky is being shrouded in shadow.

The great sage looked up at the sky, "Unfortunately... the changes have come so quickly. Time is running out; it's time..."

Clusters of butterflies shimmering with a deep blue light gradually surrounded it.

Until it completely engulfs her.

Once again, only Amagi was left alone.

There's nothing we can do while trapped here.

......

the other side.

Nagato and Musashi quickly confirmed the location of Amagi.

After all, they had been there before.

If the original plan had been executed smoothly, if none of this had happened.

They were supposed to take the next step, go to that space, and find the Great Sage.

But now it should be brought forward.

Musashi summons purple lightning, preparing to travel to find it.

“I will go there to find them, and then search for the Great Sage’s whereabouts.”

Nagato said, "The ceremony is about to begin, and I cannot leave."

"If you can't find it, just leave. Your body cannot be resurrected."

"Time is of the essence..."

Nagato handed a talisman to Musashi.

"Whether you find it or not, you must light this talisman. I will sense it and immediately start the ritual."

"The only way to completely stop 'Xi' from escaping is to use the Sage's Technique."

"But even I cannot activate such a technique for too long."

"Therefore, timing is crucial."

Musashi recalled the past and immediately understood the actions Nagato would take after the talisman was lit.

They cannot stay here any longer!

Nagato continued, "Through the Sage's Technique, I can teleport you out of this area."

"I will apply the barrier after the transfer is complete."

"But...please find the Great Sage before I am too weak to continue."

"Because in my opinion, she probably has very little power left."

......

The cannons roared.

Even the power of the throne could not suppress this strange enemy.

Tiancheng is still trying.

Although the enemy was suppressed, it was actually the magic of Amagi that took effect.

Foxfire condensed into various types of attacks, flying towards the black mist and forcing it back.

"Damn it... How could this happen? Even though I'll be resurrected by the mainframe after death..."

"But that would be such a waste of time..."

"I still need to assist Lord Nagato and Lord Musashi..."

"And also, my...soul in this world..."

Another volley.

The main gun roared like thunder, echoing continuously.

But then, the continuous thunder came from even higher up.

Purple lightning climbed up the sky along the crack, dispelling all traces of life along its path.

Amagi immediately realized that reinforcements had arrived.

The purple lightning fell, like raindrops in a time-lapse photograph, stretched into fine lines.

The electric light stirred up a storm in the already small space.

The crack slowly healed, and any remaining energy that tried to enter was blocked outside the barrier by the purple lightning.

When the storm subsided, Musashi appeared before Amagi.

Musashi quickly asked, "Amagi, did you see anyone else here just now?"

Tiancheng recalled the appearance of the person from earlier. Although the person had never introduced herself, Tiancheng still guessed her identity.

Great sage.

Amagi quickly relayed the information about the Great Sage to Musashi.

"As expected... the Great Sage is still holding on."

The story of the Great Sage had been told to Amagi before.

Musashi didn't say much, and directly took out the talisman that Nagato had given her.

Amagi asked worriedly, "Lord Musashi, I just saw you being devoured by the enemy. Are you alright?"

Musashi activated the talisman while saying, "My ship equipment was specially reinforced for this purpose in the past, so there's no need to worry."

After the procedure is successfully initiated.

A burst of light appeared beside Musashi and Amagi.

......

at the same time.

Dawn is approaching in the Sakura Islands.

Before leaving, Nagato gave Mutsu a brocade pouch.

He instructed her that if Nagato did not return within the stipulated time, she should open the gate.

Inside the brocade pouch was a small scroll of paper with only one line of text on it.

After seeing it, Mutsu hurriedly got up, changed his clothes, and ran out.

Jiang Feng hurriedly followed, asking, "Lord Mutsu, where are you going?"

Mutsu hurriedly said, "Quickly, go and prepare!"

"We must release the sky lanterns immediately!"

Before long, the huge sky lantern slowly rose into the air, accompanied by the flickering candlelight.

It became the brightest star in the night sky before dawn.

Some of the ship girls patrolling at night noticed a bright spot that suddenly appeared in the sky.

They realized what was happening and quickly woke up the others.

Then, another sky lantern was raised.

As the number of people who have noticed this increases.

More and more points of light appeared, stretching towards the horizon.

It looked as if it had formed a long dragon.

Sky lanterns, like beacon fires, delivered the most urgent messages to every corner of Sakura Empire.

And within the shrine.

Mutsu silently prayed for Nagato before the sacred tree.

At this moment, countless streams of faith converged towards the Great Holy Domain through the roots of the divine tree.

At this moment, Nagato felt the support coming from all parts of Sakura Empire.

He raised the talisman in his hand.

"Hey----!"

The array patterns beneath Nagato's feet instantly lit up, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

A few breaths later, the formation rapidly expanded and spread throughout the entire Great Sacred Domain.

Nagato gritted his teeth and persevered, channeling his power into the formation.

Invoke the Sage's Technique.

{This shouldn't be... How could the power of "breath" be so strong...}

As long as Nagato can hold on and fully activate the Sage Technique...

Success hinges on this!

However, Nagato did not notice that cracks had appeared at the edge of the formation.

The next moment, the black dragon head broke through Nagato's protective barrier and suddenly attacked Nagato, who was gritting his teeth and holding on.

"How can it be!"

In a panic, "breath" devoured Nagato, shattering the Sage's Technique array.

Like a shattered mirror, the fragments were swallowed up one by one by the surrounding darkness.

Meanwhile, Musashi and Amagi, who were on their way to the teleportation, were plunged into an even more dangerous situation due to the power of Nagato.

They lost Nagato's power.

The barrier of the Great Holy Domain became extremely fragile at this moment.

roar----!!!

The monster's roar echoed throughout the sea.

As the barrier shattered.

Several black dragons, carrying large amounts of black mist, broke through the barrier.

Nagato's barrier became ineffective at this moment.

The "breath" is about to be released.

Xiao Meng gave the order: "Jiang Mengyue, fire!!!"

A barrage of energy attacks and missiles instantly rained down on the Great Holy Domain.

As the remaining barrier was further shattered, countless attacks drilled into the black mist.

But just like in Amagi, it had no effect on the black mist.

Like a massive tsunami in a movie.

The black mist quickly spread outwards.

The mass-produced warships and airships that came into contact with the black mist were quickly disintegrated and weathered away, and then swallowed up along with the exploding ammunition.

The command ship was not far from the battlefield. Upon seeing this, Xiao Meng immediately ordered, "Except for mass-produced warships, everyone retreat!"

"Jiang Mengyue, save them quickly!"

Xiao Meng guessed that Jiang Mengyue's forces were still insufficient to completely suppress the strange black mist.

At this moment, they had no choice but to retreat.

Jiang Linya's figure would randomly appear on the battlefield, and each time she appeared, she would take a ship girl away from the disaster.

In the end, only Jiang Mengyue and Xiao Meng remained, standing at the bow of the command ship.

Countless mass-produced warships and airships were rapidly devoured.

Faced with such a world-ending scene.

Xiao Meng quickly confirmed, "Have all the people been evacuated?"

Jiang Linya appeared and said, "Barrier, your instructions have been completed."

At this moment, Xiao Meng suddenly noticed that Jiang Mengyue seemed to have stopped responding.

She quickly grabbed Jiang Mengyue's shoulders and shook her.

"What time is it? Still standing there in a daze? The area's been cleared out, hurry up and do something!"

"The Cherry Blossom Islands are nearby. If these monsters land, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

No matter how Xiao Meng called out, Jiang Mengyue seemed to be drawn to her.

They watched helplessly as the colossal beast formed from black mist approached them.

Without a second thought, Xiao Meng said, "Jiang Linya, the situation is urgent, lead us to evacuate!"

But it seems that without Jiang Mengyue's orders, Jiang Linya will not listen to Xiao Meng.

The two, one big and one small, just stood there without reacting.

Jiang Mengyue was in a daze, while Jiang Linya was completely out of control.

"What's wrong with you guys? Move around right now!"

"Purgers, Purgers, please save us!"

Seeing this, Xiaomeng became anxious.

However, the Cleaners, who should have responded normally, showed no intention of showing up.

Helpless, Xiao Meng could only continue shaking and calling out, "Jiang Mengyue!!"

"Jiang Mengyue————!!"

The enemy won't be paused during a conversation.

As the giant beast attacked, Xiao Meng felt increasingly pessimistic as the distance drew closer.

"You're really going to kill me..."

The giant dragon opened its massive jaws and suddenly lunged at the command ship.

At this critical moment, Jiang Mengyue finally made a move.

A light shone from her body, and a hexagonal energy shield unfolded, resisting the impact of the "breath".

Even so, the shield's range wasn't large enough, and half of the command ship was torn apart.

Only the area beneath their feet was supported by Jiang Linya.

"That's too late..."

Jiang Mengyue, having understood what was going on, gritted her teeth.

"Damn it, I should have paid attention to this sooner..."

Xiao Meng looked at Jiang Mengyue, who seemed to have recovered, and quickly asked, "What do you mean it's too late? Have you thought of a solution?"

Jiang Mengyue nodded heavily.

"Jiang Linya, for now you will follow Xiaomeng's orders, but you must not interfere with me."

Jiang Linya, who was supporting half of the command ship, nodded. "Command received."

Xiao Meng sensed something was wrong and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Jiang Mengyue took out the items she carried in the ship's equipment and placed them on the floor.

The school had snacks, self-heating rice, a "demon sword," plush animal dolls, and other random things.

After unloading everything from the ship's equipment.

Jiang Mengyue stepped onto the stool that had just been placed out and patted Xiao Meng on the shoulder.

"Take this back to Donghuang for me."

Xiao Meng asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? What exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang Mengyue looked at the "black tide" outside and said, "I have a solution, but the price is a bit too high."

"There are other options, but there's no time to wait."

"therefore..."

Jiang Mengyue smiled bitterly and helplessly, "I'm going to my death."

Xiao Meng was stunned.

Before Xiaomeng could react...

Jiang Mengyue shouted, "Jiang Linya, take the people and leave!"

"Wait, Jiang Mengyue, wait!!" Xiao Meng wanted to grab Jiang Mengyue.

Her actions were not as swift as Jiang Linya's.

Jiang Linya tidied up the various items on the ground and placed her hand on Xiaomeng's shoulder.

"Wait a minute! Jiang Mengyue!! What are you doing?!"

"Don't----"

Jiang Linya teleported away with Xiaomeng.

Jiang Mengyue walked forward step by step.

Standing on this command ship that has lost its support and is about to sink.

Jiang Mengyue stared at the giant beast within the black mist.

She felt sorry about it and shook her head.

"I didn't expect it..."

"Looks like I won't be able to beat the game in one life."

......

Author's message:

First, I apologized for the incomplete chapter, and then...

One thousand chapters!!! (Bang! Bang!) (Fireworks go off)

It's really not easy. Fewer people are reading books these days, but I'm still persisting.

So... how about sending the author a gift to encourage them? Please, just a little encouragement.

awa...

What follows isn't the protagonist suffering a setback, but rather exerting their strength, albeit at a slight cost, to completely complete this long-planned path.

After all, this is an enhanced version of the calamity, which even Nagato couldn't handle using his Sage Technique.

As for why it's the enhanced version, some clever readers have probably already guessed it, right?

To find out what happens next, please read the next chapter...
