Chapter 30: The Defeat of Yamato
The night did not pass peacefully, the Yamato was quietly anchored in the waters south of Leyte, and there was a dead silence on board, and the last crew had been evacuated half an hour earlier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The central suhime led part of the fleet to chase here, just as she expected. The Yamato lost power, Yamato himself died, and the rest of the ships continued to flee back.
"What an embarrassing death. Sink her. ”
At the command of the central suihime, three リ-class heavy cruisers sailed towards the Yamato with a team of deep-sea expulsions. Yamato was able to sink these deep-sea heavy cruisers with a single shell, but Yamato was no longer able to operate the ship, and it was impossible to move the hull with all the power systems paralyzed.
Probably, it will be torpedoed continuously and eventually sunk. But this possibility was rejected by someone in the next second, at least he would not allow himself and Yamato to die at the hands of a few heavy cruisers.
The quiet Yamato suddenly regained its light, and one of its main guns moved slightly to the base, sinking a heavy cruiser of the Yamato-class with one shot. Then two more shells accurately sank the remaining heavy cruisers. The rest of the deep-sea expulsion did not move forward because it lost its command.
"Oh? Interesting. Is the dead ship's mother alive? Or did someone blaspheme God's law of creation and turn themselves into a monster between the ship's mother and the deep-sea inhabitant? "The voice of the central suhime was transmitted directly to the interior of the Yamato in a unique way, and she could sense that there was a special kind of perch in the Yamato." Sousuke Takayanagi, can you still hear what I say? Turning yourself into a man-made perch is a blasphemous sin! Do you still think that your sinful karma is not heavy enough? What a wicked gambler who will do whatever it takes to die. ”
No one answered, and Sosuke Takayanagi was not a person who would obediently comply with other people's requests, but it was his failure to answer that further angered the central suihime.
"Hehehehehe...... Very well, since you dare to challenge the authority of the will of the deep sea as a mortal, I, as the daughter of the deep sea, will take my mother's place and send down the punishment of the gods. Tear your ridiculous appearance to shreds! ”
The huge body of the central suhime cast a hill-like reflection on the sea, and with a wave of her hand, all the タ-class battleships that came with her turned their barrels to the Yamato. "Shoot!"
The Yamato also relied on the main guns that could still be used to fight back, but in just three minutes, the immobile Yamato became a live target, and the baptism of more than 500 shells almost destroyed all the weapons on its ship, although the armor was strong enough, there was also a limit to what it could bear.
But the central Suhime suddenly shouted to stop her subordinates, not because the Yamato was no longer able to use the main gun to fight back, but because she understood the true intentions of the other party. If the central Suhime doesn't call for a stop, or if she shells it herself a few more times, the Yamato will be blown up. She won the victory of the central suihime, and she won the Yamato.
Just defeated the Yamato, the steel behemoth that used to gallop the Pacific Ocean as the largest tonnage battleship of mankind, and that's it. Not to mention that the current Yamato was destroyed in the battle in the Surigao Strait and lost the power system a long time ago. Simply sinking the Yamato only makes the matter of "defeating the Yamato" clearer.
The central suhime will not be satisfied with this result, compared to the Yamato, there is another person who has a higher strategic value - Takayanagi Sousuke. The Yamato lost, but Sosuke Takayanagi's strategy and tactics all won, whether it was a sudden turn to destroy the deep-sea supply fleet, or the battle of the Surigao Strait to find the right breakthrough to break through, it was not a bad idea to be the former commander-in-chief of the IJN Combined Fleet.
"Worthy of being an excellent human chosen by my mother, is this the last challenge you put on me?" The central suhime broke away from the hull of the ship, boarded the last deep-sea expulsion, and quickly sailed towards the Yamato. She's not content with the win she is about to win, she's going to do more.
Suspended on the deck of the Yamato, the baptism of gunfire just now has completely changed the appearance of the upper deck of the Yamato, and the former mighty hull has become full of holes. The central susher-in-law walked to the bridge and brutally smashed the iron door with her bare hands, the dim light illuminated half of her body, and the natural scar-like lines made her look particularly penetrating.
Sensing the presence of a threatening enemy in the command room, she quickly ascended the stairs and walked smoothly to the command room of the Yamato.
"Boring, I thought you'd set some traps halfway through." With a kick open the hatch, the central susher-in-cheek leaped in, and two human corpses lay abruptly in front of her, the blood still dry. "These are your men?"
Not only do you see corpses here, but there are also quite a few of them in the upper cabin of the Yamato, probably by suicide or by some monster that has begun to turn into the deep sea.
Reaching out and grabbing a puddle of blood, the central perch assimilated it into a blade, pointing at the only monster still alive in the command room.
"I knew you would come to a duel with me, tyrant. Aha...... Hahaha! The power of the deep sea perch is amazing! I've never experienced the thrill of being able to crush a human life so easily! That's just amazing! Now, let me see if I can crush the Daughter of the Deep! ”
Sousuke Takayanagi's entire right arm has been turned black by the deep sea, and his eyes are only blood-red, and the calmness and restraint of the once human beings are certainly gone. The body becomes the appearance of Yamato, but in essence, it is a monster that is about to sink into killing and madness.
Sosuke Takayanagi, who was holding Yamato's corpse, pushed the desk in front of him hard, and the table, which was several meters long, was easily thrown out by him and smashed in front of the protective cover of the central suihime.
The two of them each held the blade in their hands, staring at each other's movements.
"Stupid, with your half-baked deep-sea dwelling ability, what can you do to fight me?" The central perch lifted the shield created by the air, and his free left hand held the air weakly. "Assimilation."
Another blade is condensed in the hands of the central perch, and even the air can be easily manipulated and transformed, and the ability of the central perched is indeed the highest level of the deep-sea perch.
The sword flashed like a shadow. The sword skills of the two didn't have much effect, and after only ten rounds, the blades in both of their hands were overwhelmed and broken.
"Assimilation."
One side uses air to condense the blade, while the other quickly picks up the broken wood strips on the ground to make them. With the way the two fight, anything in the command room can become a weapon in the hands of the two. The fierce fight continues.
Sousuke Takayanagi had clearly become too insane, and he rushed forward to break the knife of the central suhime with his bare hand and stabbed him in the face. The central suhime was not moved at all, and let go of her hand in disgust, and the air around her immediately became irritable.
With a bang, Sousuke Takayanagi was blown back a few steps.
"You can't win me." The central suihime recondensed the blade, looking for an opportunity for Sosuke Takayanagi to reveal his flaws. "A weak person is a weak person after all, and whether you humans become ship girls or deep sea habitats, you are not enough to fight with the highest level of divine creatures like me. You are good at imitating, but you see these behaviors as the progress of human civilization, and they seem to work well when you are fighting. Isn't that right, Mr. Sosuke Takayanagi, it's fun to slaughter his subordinates in the way of the deep sea perch, right? But -- all of this stems from the will of our great god, the deep sea. Doomed to your defeat, you and Akagi are just using the technology of the deep sea in a vain attempt to defeat the deep sea fleet. What a ridiculous idea, the difference in the level of technology is hundreds of times, depending on what you use to fight the deep-sea fleet! ”
The battle continued, Sosuke Takayanagi continued to resist the onslaught of the central suihime, and saw the opportunity to rush forward like a mad dog to fight, his sword skills were excellent among humans, and the level he showed had surpassed the central suihime, but it was useless. The manoeuvres of humanity are meaningless in the face of absolutely powerful forces, and the central suihime can force back Sousuke Takayanagi with an explosion at any time. There is also a difference in the speed of self-healing between the two, ordinary scratches can heal in a few seconds, but once the injured muscles and bones are moved, Sosuke Takayanagi cannot heal quickly.
After most of Sosuke Takayanagi's physical strength was consumed, he gradually lost his strength after the aftermath of the explosion was completely broken. On the other hand, the central susuihime can still maintain her original combat ability and slash at Sousuke Takayanagi's shoulder with a knife.
"You're too weak!"
The central suhime raised her hand and began to condense the new weapon, fighting with a knife was only out of the custom of dueling, and she was going to kill Sosuke Takayanagi now, and it was too slow to use a knife.
Sousuke Takayanagi was waiting for the time when the central suhime condensed the weapon, and he knew after the war of attrition just now that no matter how strong the ability of the central suhime is, there is a gap in use, and when condensing matter, he can't use the ability to detonate the surrounding air. Gambling everything, Sosuke Takayanagi didn't know that he couldn't win even if he fought with the other party, even if he took his own humiliation, he was still a chance to continue gambling.
He bets that the central peru will go on the ship alone to fight him, and bets that he can find the flaws in the central perched in a limited time. He really won the bet and found a chance to turn the tables in a must-lose situation.
Using his hand as a blade, Sosuke Takayanagi ignored the blade on his shoulder that cut the bone, hit the chest position of the central shime, and then swung it over, he didn't need a weapon or anything anymore, the opportunity only existed in a few tenths of a second, as long as he could expand the advantage, he had a way to smash the core of the central suihime.
"It's a pity."
The hand that was condensing the weapon of the central suhime was released, and more than ten blades were condensed in the air, and Sosuke Takayanagi, who was close at hand, became a hedgehog.
"I'm going to be a little more serious and not slow to fight you. Then you ...... weak" Shuhime retracted his knife-wielding left hand and stabbed Sosuke Takayanagi in the chest who was about to fall to the ground. "Down."
With a kick, Sosuke Takayanagi, who fell to his knees, kicked out, and the central suhime let out a wild laugh. "I said it at the beginning. I'm the highest-level deep-sea dweller, so why do you think that I can only assimilate matter slowly like you? ”
Sousuke Takayanagi's body was full of blades, especially a stab in the chest that shattered his newly formed core, and the victory was already divided. He struggled to get up, but his body was running out of energy.
"Yamato...... Please forgive me. ”
In the last moments of his life, he reached out and barely held the hand of Yamato, who was sitting in a chair. The two are similar in appearance, and together as the contract owners of the Yamato, they both uphold the dignity of human beings in their own way at the end of their lives.
