Ayanami felt no guilt for stealing Haman's kill and said righteously, "The Abyssal Cruiser didn't have your name on it, so why do you say it's yours? Besides, it belongs to whoever slays it. And it looked like you couldn't catch that Abyssal Cruiser anyway! In that case, you have even less right to say it's your kill, desu!"
"You... you you! Haman doesn't care! If you give me this treasure chest as an apology, I'll be magnanimous and not hold it against you. How's that? Aren't you going to thank Haman for her great kindness?" Haman thought about it and decided to forgive Ayanami if she gave her the chest.
Ayanami looked at Haman with eyes that seemed to be looking at a fool and said expressionlessly, "It's broad daylight, stop dreaming. If there's nothing else, goodbye. No, let's never meet again."
After saying that, she ignored Haman and turned to run toward other Abyssal Warships, leaving only her back to Haman.
"Damn it! Ayanami, you jerk! I hope every treasure chest you open only has torpedoes!" Haman shouted a Vicious curse at Ayanami, who was ignoring her.
On the other side, Illustrious did a good deed—she saved a Ship Girl. This Ship Girl was almost sunk by shells from an Abyssal Battleship. At the critical moment, those shells were sliced into pieces by Illustrious's sword and exploded in the air.
This Ship Girl had grass-green eyes and a smooth, glossy purple ponytail. She wore a white camisole on top and a purple and blue plaid pleated skirt on the bottom. She held a Javelin in her hand. Who else could this Ship Girl be but Javelin?
"H-hello! You're the Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier Illustrious, right? Thank you for saving me." Javelin, held in Illustrious's arms, felt lingering fear from almost being sunk. If not for this Ship Girl's rescue, she might have already sunk.
"No need to thank me. Pay more attention to your surroundings, or it will be very dangerous," Illustrious said gently.
"Um, could you put me down? This pose is a bit inappropriate!" Javelin said with a blush.
Illustrious, who wasn't very self-aware, didn't think there was anything wrong with this. However, since Javelin had said so, she felt embarrassed to keep holding her. "Sorry! I'll put you down right now."
"I am the Royal Navy Destroyer Javelin. If there's nothing else, I'm going to go fight other Abyssal Warships!" Javelin hurriedly fled from Illustrious. For some reason, she felt as if her entire body was being seen through while standing next to Illustrious.
"Javelin! Full power now! As for those Abyssal Warships, watch my Lightning Javelin!" Javelin charged toward an Abyssal Cruiser with her lightning-crackling Javelin.
Watching Javelin distance herself, Illustrious took off her pink glasses and couldn't help but marvel at Javelin's keen intuition. Looking at the three figures in the sky, she murmured softly, "I can't let you fight the Anchorage Princess alone! Let me join your battle as well!"
After saying this, Illustrious slightly opened her right hand, and her silver sword materialized in her palm. With a sudden firm grip, her entire body erupted with Silver Prayer Qi comparable to a Three-Star Epic Ship Girl.
Three hundred meters above her head, countless bolts of silver lightning converged, and a massive silver rock suddenly formed. Finally, it slowly shattered from top to bottom, revealing a hundred-meter-tall silver sword.
The blade of the silver sword and the seven gems on it emitted a dazzling light. These rays were so blinding they were almost like a second sun in the sky.
Illustrious's entire body was enveloped in a giant sphere of silver light about ten feet wide. Holy light decomposed her original white off-the-shoulder dress from top to bottom. The decomposed parts gradually transformed into a white, form-fitting, high-slit qipao. Deep blue gradient hair ornaments were tied to the hair on both sides of her temples, and white lace garter stockings wrapped around her alluring long legs.
Boom... Illustrious kicked off, rushing toward the three figures in the sky like a bolt of lightning with a whoosh. The surface of the sea where she had originally stood was temporarily pressed into a huge crater by the powerful recoil, and the seawater continuously rushed back in, hinting at the terrifying power of her leap.
Looking at the Anchorage Princess, who possessed an overwhelming aura, Dido was the first to attack. Gripping her greatsword tightly, she turned into a purple stream of light and charged at her, creating a series of sonic booms.
Souryuu also took out her rigging Katana from her rigging space. Gripping the katana tightly, she immediately followed Dido's lead, her speed so fast she turned into a green stream of light, attacking the Anchorage Princess like a bolt of lightning.
Watching Dido and Souryuu charge toward her as two streams of light, the Anchorage Princess let out a laugh, as if mocking them for being so weak yet daring to fight her.
With the greatsword in her hand like a flash of purple lightning, Dido carried a fierce wind that even made the space fluctuate, slashing down heavily toward the left side of the Anchorage Princess.
On the right side of the Anchorage Princess, Souryuu's figure appeared. She gripped her rigging Katana, which erupted with a gale. The blade was enveloped in the power of her natural element—Storm—which took the cutting power of the rigging Katana to the next level. She slashed with all her might toward the right side of the Anchorage Princess.
If the Anchorage Princess didn't defend herself and was hit by such sharp attacks from these two Ship Girls, she would definitely suffer a serious injury or might even be sunk directly.
The fierce wind carried by the two caused the Anchorage Princess's hair to flutter. Facing the pincer attack from Dido and Souryuu on both sides, her expression didn't change in the slightest.
Her crimson eyes glanced indifferently at the attacks from both sides. When the weapons were only two feet away from her head, the Anchorage Princess finally raised her hands slightly. Her hands burst forth with extremely cold ice qi, and two circular white ice mirrors, two feet wide, suddenly condensed.
"Moon Ice Absolute Divine Mirror!"
Clang, Clang! The sword and katana, which were originally intended to strike the Anchorage Princess's body, slashed onto the two circular ice mirrors. There was no sign of the ice mirrors breaking; the sword and katana, which contained terrifying force, didn't leave a single scratch on the surface. From this, it could be seen that the defensive power of these two ice mirrors was incredibly strong.
At the moment the sword and katana struck the ice mirrors, the Anchorage Princess unleashed her ice power. Thirty ice swords immediately condensed around her. Under the control of her Divine Sense, these ice swords rotated continuously and then shot violently toward Dido and Souryuu.
Seeing their attacks blocked, Dido and Souryuu were stunned for a moment. They didn't even have time to launch a second attack before the Anchorage Princess had already condensed thirty ice swords and sent them flying toward them like lightning.
Fortunately, Dido and Souryuu were not ordinary Ship Girls. They immediately snapped out of it. Facing the thirty menacing ice swords, they instantly withdrew their weapons from the ice mirrors, mobilized all their strength, and quickly flashed away to dodge.
