Intense and direct.

"The value of the ship girl system far exceeds our imagination, and in the future it may completely replace us as the force protecting the ocean."

The captain said, sitting in his chair.

"Of course, we are already at the forefront of the world in this matter."

Looking up at the blurry image, the captain's tone softened.

Most of the powerful ship girls currently known to exist in human society have gathered around Black Dragon, which means that Donghuang has already established an invincible position in terms of naval military equipment.

Currently, this is contingent on the Sirens disappearing from history.

……

"call."

Black Dragon exhaled a puff of white mist, and dark red flames surrounded her. Even so, she could still feel the coldness of the outside world.

This is no longer a simple matter of temperature. The opponent's control over temperature can directly affect the opponent's senses. Even she couldn't understand the principle behind it for the time being.

A few meters away, a girl in sky-blue armor was also observing her, or more accurately, observing the flames burning around her.

The two fought for a long time, and the fight was evenly matched; neither could gain the upper hand.

"Besides you, how many other test subjects are there?"

Black Flying Dragon composed herself and stood in the air, her feet fifty centimeters above the water's surface, and only around her was there flowing seawater.

The girl did not answer her question, but slowly walked up to the black dragon and raised her hand to touch the edge of the black dragon's flames.

snort~

The armor on the girl's hand melted instantly, the flesh on her hand was evaporated in an instant, leaving only bare white bones, and the flames began to spread towards her arm, and then turned into ice shards and shattered.

The opponent took the initiative to approach Black Dragon and naturally did not hold back. As the girl raised her hand, the long sword slashed towards her neck. However, with just a clang, the girl grabbed the blade with her other hand.

!

With a low shout, Black Flying Dragon forcefully pressed the girl, still holding the knife, into the ice with a snap. The blade light pierced through her body, covering the area where the two were, and the two energies collided and exploded on the spot.

The black dragon, which had been sent flying backward, stabilized itself in the air and looked at the Siren girl who had climbed out of the ice and was patting her ice armor unharmed, feeling a bit itchy to bite her.

She usually encounters other Sirens who are all specializations, but now she's met one who is good at both offense and defense, and she can't even break through it.

Soon, the Siren girl composed herself and looked up at the Black Dragon. Her blue eyes were devoid of any emotion, and a single glance was enough to send chills down one's spine. Unfortunately for her, the Black Dragon was not afraid of eye contact. She stared back at him, wanting to see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.

The two remained face to face in a stalemate.

"Can't you speak?"

After more than ten minutes, Black Flying Dragon felt her eyes getting sore and couldn't help but ask a question, but the girl ignored her and just looked at her.

Black Dragon raised his sword, and the girl swung her hand, causing the ice in front of her to explode violently. Thick ice pillars crashed into Black Dragon, but unfortunately, the ice pillars melted and turned into steam when they touched the fire shield half a meter away from Black Dragon.

"Damn it, I've run into a stubborn person."

Black Dragon's heart sank to the bottom. She suspected that the siren in front of her was the type that could only carry out specific orders. Right now, it was probably carrying out the order to eliminate the mermaid lady, but since the mermaid lady was contained by her, this siren had directly targeted her.

Thinking of this, the black dragon reduced the flames on its body slightly. The siren girl reacted immediately, rushing forward to engage in close combat. Seizing the opportunity, the black dragon increased the power of its flames again, and the girl jumped away, obediently staring at it.

Black Flying Dragon suddenly couldn't hold back any longer.

"What should I do? I can't stay here. Am I supposed to abandon Miss Mermaid?"

Black Dragon's eyes flickered, but he quickly rejected the idea.

Miss Mermaid must have obtained some important intelligence to be hunted down by sirens of this caliber. We absolutely cannot abandon such an ally who is willing to risk their life to steal information for them.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Black Dragon buried himself in thought, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

Her skills were useless against this Siren, and their strength was evenly matched. If they were to fight to the death, they would have to fight until one of them was exhausted, and she might still lose.

"Hmm...I've got it."

After some thought, Black Flying Dragon reached into his personal space, took out his Free Port Area mobile phone, and dialed a number.

The opposing siren remained unmoved by her little action, seemingly determining that the phone could not harm her.

With a beeping sound, the call connected!

"Good afternoon. Is something wrong?"

A soft voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Avira's voice.

"I encountered a very stubborn experimental subject model. It uses ice-attribute attacks, or it might be controlling the temperature. Do you know its weakness?"

Black Dragon got straight to the point.

"A very stubborn test subject? You know that?"

Avira repeated herself, looking puzzled, while holding her phone, and then asked Mio, who was eavesdropping nearby.

"Huh? I feel like I've heard that report somewhere before, but then again, I don't think I've heard it before."

Even the usually aloof Mio sounded a little confused.

"Don't you share intelligence internally?"

Black Flying Dragon gasped. If neither of them...

If it works, then she has no choice but to persevere to the end.

"Hmm, let me think..."

Mio tapped her forehead, but still couldn't remember. Information about meta-level experimental subjects was indeed shared to some extent, namely the number and level, but their personalities and abilities were not shared.

After all, the two are still outwardly hostile to each other.

“I didn’t expect... you gave it the phone so I could say a few words to it.”

Mio couldn't recall that test subjects of this level rarely went out, and news about them was extremely scarce.

"Just tell me directly."

Black Dragon glanced at the Siren girl a few meters away, then moved his phone further out of the space; he should be able to hear her clearly from this distance.

"I issue this order with the authority of the Creator: you two must immediately end the battle and return to your base."

Mio's voice came through the phone, her tone colder than usual, and even carrying an unknown power. The moment Black Dragon heard it, most of the flames around her went out, and she felt an urge to turn around and return to the Free Port Area. Fortunately, she suppressed this urge.

"clear."

The Siren girl readily accepted Mio's order and turned to disappear from the Black Dragon's sight.

"Can you command the other side's experimental subjects?"

Black Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately realized that if Mio could command the Siren of the pro-war faction, could the Creator of the pro-war faction also command her?

If you lose focus for even a moment during battle, you're basically doomed.

“It wouldn’t work for someone with a flexible mind, but you said it’s very stubborn, so I think it’s feasible.”

Mio's voice returned to normal, and she offered a brief explanation.

"Furthermore, neither you nor Canglong have command programs loaded on them, so my commands don't actually work on you, let alone the commands over there."

Mio added another sentence.

"Ok?"

Black Flying Dragon was taken aback. What had happened to her just now?

"..."

They seemed to sense something and fell silent.

“You’ve come back; we need to check your life cycle.”

The voice on the phone changed to Avira's, and her voice became much more serious.

"Isn't that unnecessary? Didn't you say that flexible thinking means being uncontrollable?"

With a casual wave of his hand, Black Dragon manipulated flames to melt all the surrounding ice blocks before landing on the water's surface and speaking.

"Yes, but those are commands from the Creator to different factions. If I were to place a command program on you, you would stop all actions and execute the command the moment you hear it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Avira nodded and explained very seriously.

Black Flying Dragon fell silent after hearing this.

If she understood correctly, it was highly likely that when Mio from another world modified her, she added command programs to her and even transferred control to her sister, who is now the boss of her adversary.

"As expected, even the same person will act differently in different worlds... Dragon, return immediately before the other party realizes this."

Avira's voice turned somber.

"And this way..."

Black Flying Dragon turned back to look at the Eastern Empire fleet.

"I will inform Canglong to take over your position. After the handover is completed, return to port immediately and head to the experimental space in the capital. This is an order."

Mio's voice came through.

"I see."

Black Flying Dragon frowned, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and took a step, disappearing into the sea.

Chapter 45 Intelligence Exchange

The handover went very smoothly, so smoothly that even Black Dragon felt it was somewhat unreal.

"Do you think I'm hurt?"

As she traversed the space tunnel, Black Dragon looked around at the pitch blackness and muttered to herself, "The captains and staff officers who accompanied me this time have been very kind to me, probably because they think I'm injured. They're such a good bunch."

but.

Black Dragon reached up and touched her neck. It was the first time she had ever heard of the Siren system having a mandatory command procedure, and she never expected that Mio from another world would transfer this command authority to someone else. Suddenly having a ring around her neck felt quite unpleasant.

As I pondered, the tunnel came to an end.

The black dragon left the void and appeared outside the gate of an abandoned experimental base.
