"Where the hell is this?"

Kii didn't follow, she was very wary of the new Suhime who appeared, although the other party looked slightly different from the Suhime she had seen before. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This temple to the indigenous people of the island, this is the answer for them. For you, or for us in the deep sea, this is a cemetery where many of the last era's perch, the god of the sea, worshipped by the aborigines, sleeps. I'm the only one of them who hasn't fallen asleep,"

Diving Qihime dragged her long hair to the depths of the temple, and Kii hadn't seen a passage staircase in that direction before.

"What do you call it?"

"You don't need to use Old Deep Sea for me, I know Japanese. Ji (き) Yi (い),My name is Diving Suhime.,It's the last Suhime left over from the last era.,The watchman of the deep sea.。 You know that the Deep Sea Fleet can't use all of its submarines for combat, and that two Deep Sea Girls must apply at the same time to unlock this permission, do you understand why? ”

Diving Qihime is like a ghost, with cold words and expressionless face, but Kii's resistance to it gradually weakens, because the other party's eyes reveal respect for him.

"Because you've been locking this permission?"

"That's right, that's why you have the opportunity to compete with the will of the great deep sea, do you feel that this opportunity is not easy to come by? There are many more reasons that you don't even know I have, and the coincidence of this time has given you a chance to defeat the Deep Sea Fleet. Perhaps our mother is also looking forward to 'failure', a real loss to humanity as a god. ”

Seeing that Kii was willing to follow, Diver Qihime continued to walk deeper into the temple. On the two walls of this hidden passageway, countless words from the past are inscribed, and Kii can feel a strong difference in time, as if she has stepped into a ruin that has stood still in time for thousands of years.

"It's here," Diving Qihime opened the stone wall at the end of the passage, and a huge temple appeared in front of Kii. There are many ancient ones similar to the diving ones, all of which are connected to the hull by long pipes, and even if they are sleeping, they carry their own heavy hulls.

At an underwater entrance to the temple, a long pipe is also connected to the diving body, and in the sea floats its own large submarine hull.

There was a strong sense of solemnity in the thin air, which made Kii involuntarily feel awe of this tomb.

"They are all contemporaries of mine, and the earliest one who sleeps here dates back to the mythological age of your humanity, where our great mother continued to make the most perfect work. So here are all the imperfect works in her mind. I can't get her love and thoughts, but it's just a little more advanced than the quantity product without a mind. ”

When Diving Qiji mentioned this incident, she didn't show regret, but was faintly excited.

"And then she made the most perfect perch?"

"That's right, she extracted a small part of the human factor and made the two new works into human shapes, hoping to make a new perch that was different from our group of failed creatures. She is a great deity, naturally successful, and very successful. After two newborn hatchlings burst out of their shells, she bestowed one of them with supreme power and the other with absolute reason. ”

Kii believes that Diving Suhime won't lie to herself, because that doesn't make sense. So, Kaga has actually lived for a very long time.

"The source of energy that made them was the resentment of all living beings who died in the war. It can be said that the mother made a bloody investment that time, and made the two sisters at all costs. The year they were born was the millennium for you humans, but ......" Diving Qihime's tone changed, and her eyes revealed puzzlement. "The two lovely newborn daughters did not please the mother, they grew too slowly, and the resentment left behind by those who died in the war. You also know how many humans were 1,000 years ago, and they couldn't be slaughtered efficiently with outdated cold weapons. So the two sisters lived on an island not far from the island and enjoyed their long childhood. ”

"Then the stupid humans, in order to seize the power of our deep-sea habitat, stormed the island that was enshrined as a sanctuary by the deep-sea fleet, killing all the deep-sea ships that tried to protect the two sisters, and taking both of them. We are in endless grief, and my companions are sleeping here one after another, probably forever. ”

Kii didn't think it was the ancient inhabitants here who voluntarily fell asleep, she believed that it had something to do with the will of the deep sea. In the eyes of the will of the deep sea, except for the daughter of the deep sea, the rest of the works are high-level chess pieces that can be destroyed and discarded at will, and they can make better works in the future.

"Why didn't you rescue the two daughters of the deep that you were guarding?" Kii was puzzled by this, she didn't believe that with the strength of nearly a hundred ancient suhimes here, she would not be able to defeat the Japanese navy before World War I.

"Happen...... Mistake...... Accidentally. Diving Qihime's tone became strange, probably unable to comprehend what was happening. Two daughters of the deep have developed a crush on a human, a very young girl. Since it is the daughter of the deep sea who is willing, we can't disobey it. The will of the deep sea allows us to protect the daughter of the deep sea, and we must do it, appear...... Logical errors. There is nothing we can do about it, and we can only wait for the two daughters of the deep to realize the danger of being taken away by humans. I also went to sleep, but then I woke up and it was just me. ”

Diving Qiji shook her long mopping hair, probably remembering that experience made her mind uncomfortable. "That day happened...... Tragedy. A Daughter of the Deep kills another Daughter of the Deep. The Daughter of the Deep, who has supreme power, has fallen, and it is impossible to ...... Incomprehensible, she could not have lost to her sister. ”

"According to your chronology, that day is September 1, 1923, when Kaga-sama killed her own sister, the most powerful Suhime to date. and took out her sister's core gem and divided it into six points to prevent her sister from being resurrected. ”

"Resurrection?" Kii had never heard of this miraculous saying from the information provided by Gonjun Sato, "How can the dead be resurrected?" ”

"We are Qihime, not people. The Daughter of the Deep is a daughter blessed by the will of the Deep, and of course will be resurrected over time, and you will be freed from death in the light of time when you and the two before you have gained permission. can all come alive in some way. For example, the former generation of adults who were divided into six by the core, her dead soul is still attached to the six fragments, looking forward to the day when Kaga-sama will release the oppression on her and get a chance to be reborn. ”

For Kii, what she learned today was beyond her comprehension, and it was the first time she had learned that the Daughter of the Deep also included "eternal life" in her authority.

"The gods are eternal, so the daughters of the deep who are near the gods are eternal, and we are eternal. Under the pyramid of authority, it cannot be crossed. ”

It's obviously a highly repressive and cruel rule, but in the values of the diving roehime, it has become its belief, and it speaks of a terrible hierarchy with a look of reverence. "Although I am a servant of the will of the deep sea, I am also the guardian of the daughter of the deep sea, and I firmly stand by you and Kaga."

"Even if Kaga kills her sister?"

"The Daughters of the Deep belong to the same class, and they kill each other according to the rules and obey the authority. I was saddened, but I accepted the result. In the same way, the great will of the deep did not attack because of the death of a daughter of the deep in Japan, but only slightly caused a natural disaster on the island of Japan in a fit of rage. ”

The earthquake, which killed 150,000 people, was a minor disaster in the concept of deep-sea ships, which saw only a scarce resentment flowing into the will of the deep sea, far less than the brilliant war in the Verdun region of World War I. They don't care about the number of people, just like humans don't count how many ants are in an ant's nest.

"Why did I become the daughter of the deep?"

Kii already knew enough about the history of the deep sea, and now she just wanted to know what the will of the deep sea wanted.

"I don't know. The great will of the deep doesn't tell us, maybe it has something to do with the abilities you've been given. You are a miracle, a miraculous perch born out of the impossible, you are different from us, you are more like a degraded product made by humans 'ship girl'. But you are indeed the daughter of the deep, you are weak, but you have the key to reversal. As a guardian, I believe that you can complement Kaga-sama and win the results you want. ”

Diving Suhime stretched out his hand to Kii and shook it with him. "Kaga-sama intends to use the power of all submarines even if necessary, and this requires your consent. Although it will soon be forcibly terminated by the will of the deep sea, it is enough to defeat the current deep sea fleet. Are you willing to use my submarine forces? You've seen the terrifying armies that are like ghosts that directly control the entire seas, and those are the deep-sea ships under my control. ”

"No...... Not for the time being, and I don't think it will be needed in the future. I will free the souls of my friends in my own way, the brutal battle only adds to the resentment, and the death of the Deep Sea Fleet also provides the will of the Deep Sea with the resentment she wants. I want to put an end to this cruel war, and the war between people is cruel enough. The power of the gods should not be allowed to endanger vulnerable humanity. ”

Kii can't refuse war, she's a battleship mother, a super weapon born for war, and the flagship of the IJN Combined Fleet and the commander of the Ninth Sentai Team, and everything she has now is based on war. Even if she is a waste, she can become an undefeated hero of the whole country in the war.

Kii can only refuse a partial part, even if she is kind-hearted, it can't change the fact that she is a weapon of war.

"Is that what Kii-sama thinks? Although I personally feel naïve, I will try my best to get you a chance. "Diving Suhime didn't hear the rhetoric of Kaga claiming to become a god and transcend the will of the deep sea, and she didn't see Kii show the power of a daughter of the deep. But since Kaga had ordered it to treat Kii equally, it could only record Kii's childish demands in his mind. "That's all I can do, that's all I can tell you. As for how to get out of here, it's up to you. There will be no human planes approaching here, you will have to go back on your own. ”
