Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hope Called Miracles
The argument between life and death hangs over Kii like a cage, and this cage is getting smaller and smaller, about to push her into the world of the dead. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Living in a desolate and populated country of the dead, Kii couldn't get out of it by all means, and could only watch the edge of the "cage" shrink.
"Looks like I'm about to touch me. Kii, desperate, right? Feel it, right? ”
The battleship water ghost appeared behind Kii, and the two were now only a few meters apart, probably only the battleship water ghost, and he was the only person who could talk to Kii now.
"I've been living here since I was born, and I've been wandering in this barren world all the time, all the time, and I've been reduced to the same treatment as the abandoned works here. Do you think it's fair? Kii? So, in order for me to escape from eternal prison, you will be my replacement. ”
The battleship water ghost laughed maniacally, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Since the death of Sanjo Kibayashi, she was born at the same time as Kii as a refutation, and only one of the two can exist.
"......" Kii has indeed fallen into despair, staying in this kind of world that can drive people crazy, and her failure to go crazy is already a sign of strong willpower. Perhaps even more terrifying than death is the eternity she is about to face, forever hovering in a crazy world.
The wind howled, carrying the sand and gravel and the strange creatures that were unfortunately caught up in it, some of them passed by Kii and were crushed into dust by the terrible force of the argument, while the other part passed by the battleship water ghost, as the highest level creature in this world, she inadvertently gave the wind vitality, and the wheal directly turned into an even more terrifying black storm, and the sand and gravel were reborn with the dead creatures inside, partly blending into the storm, and partly turning into winged creatures trying to break away from it.
"It may be possible to be part of a powerful force of nature by blending into the storm, but there are still individuals who choose to grow fantasy wings for the sake of dignity."
All Kii saw was creatures with wings torn to shreds by an even more terrible storm, and the supremacy of strength was the unchanging law of this world.
"You want me to keep struggling at the last minute, like these creatures swept away by the storm? As a tribute to your resurrection? ”
"Wrong, Kii. The storm in front of your eyes may be enough to crush any creature in your cognitive concept, but miracles are born out of the impossible. In the eyes of humans, the deep sea habitat must be an evil creature that does not respect life, right? You are very wrong, and it is precisely because of their respect for life that they mock the fragility and timidity of human beings. ”
In the midst of the storm, the battleship water ghost looked at the last four-winged monster bird in the distance who was trying to escape in vain, and offered her blessing power. "At least the Deepsea Habitat Girls respect Ship Girls, and don't look down on them because they are pathetic synthetic creatures between humans and Deepsea Habitat Girls, and only see Ship Girls as enemies that really deserve to be taken seriously in battle. If there is one thing that has caused this war, it is that humanity itself is too weak. Kii, you and I are two in one, so I have exactly the same power essence as you. ”
Under the power of the battleship water ghost, a giant dragon was born in the storm, although it was a black creature made of metal and flesh, but the power of nature could no longer wreak havoc, and the battleship water ghost created an even more powerful creature.
Kii was once again shocked by the miracle in front of him, and it was feared that human beings would never have such a strong willpower to imagine a majestic figure that spanned the heavens and the earth.
"I can ...... too" Kii seems to understand how powerful he is, but in the real world, he may not have that opportunity.
"Of course, the will of the deep sea must have given the daughter of the deep the highest level of power, and if I can do it, it means that you can do it too. But you don't have a chance. ”
["I have given you the privilege of the Daughter of the Deep, and I have also given you a special ability. ”】
Kii finally remembered what the will of the deep sea told her at the moment of Kii's resurrection. Although he was forgotten for a long time, under the guidance of his other self, Kii's damaged memory fragments regained color and sound.
["Supreme power and absolute rationality have given my two daughters whom I admire the most, and for you, I have decided to minimize your power as a deep-sea roof and let you be reborn in the form of a ship girl. And I'm going to give you the highest level of ability that only gods possess, and it's called 'Miracle'. ”】
The ships born from miracles are endowed with the power of miracles, and perhaps this is the last key to hope left to mankind by the will of the deep sea. As for how to open it, it is up to Kii to figure it out himself.
"A miracle? This ability is perhaps the most suitable for Sanjo-kun. ”
"But that's not in line with scientific truth."
"The fact that we're still able to get together now has nothing to do with science. You must win against us, Sanjo-kun, no, Kii. ”
Only Hua Kaiyuan Long Xing fell into thought at the last moment of parting, and after the companions around him disappeared one by one, he was the only one standing in front of the soon-to-be-reborn Kii, unwilling to be brainwashed by the will control of the deep sea for a long time.
"Wait, I have a request."
"Human, please. I will do my best to accommodate you, as long as your requests are not excessive. ”
"I want to be by her side as she is now, she needs time, and Kii is too weak compared to the enemies she will face in the future."
But that's exactly the price of a miracle. Whatever you want, but only a few years at most. During this time, you will not become Kii's enemy. Satisfied? Mankind? This is already my greatest kindness. ”
"Thank you, Will of the Deep. There are only a few years to go, and I'm sure Kii will win. ”
"Your friendship will also be trampled on by me, and you will be Kii's worst enemy, I promise as a god."
Faced with the mockery of the will of the deep sea, which is close to the prophecy, Blossom Yuan Ryuxing bravely stood in front of Kii and calmly accepted this future. "If a miracle takes a price, I'm willing to burn my soul to be its first ray. This is my final declaration. ”】
At least until they were manipulated by the will of the deep sea, they still believed in Sanjo Kirin and the future Kii. The dragon apricot that Kii saw after the Third Battle of the Solomon was a fragment of his soul that was about to burn out, and he offered Kii a moment of peace and everyone's last wishes. Although they became enemies, they still did not forget their friendship.
"Everybody...... I...... It's really useless. It's all up to you to support me silently behind the scenes...... But I know nothing, and I am alone in enjoying the happy life you have given me. I...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
The battleship water ghost left again at some point, leaving Kii alone in tears and weeping. The lost memories are nothing less than a treasure to Kii, who may have complained about her friends when facing the battleship Suhime and the Moordi Water Ghost, but now she is all relieved. It's not just her Ji Yi who has endured everything, many people have silently supported her behind her, and they have never even complained about her.
Whether it is an apology or a thanks, these words will not be heard by her friends again, and only the central perch and the harbor water ghost are still bound to the control of the will of the deep sea. The battle of fate is not over, at least Kii is not willing to stop here for their sake.
"I'm going to challenge you! Come out for me, battleship water ghosts! I will never resurrect you, even if you die together, but I will do my best to protect the world I hold dear to us. ”
Kii's declaration succeeded in eliciting applause from the battleship water ghost, who stood on a hill a little farther away, and a battleship-type outfit appeared behind her. "Very well, so that you are worthy to be called 'me' yourself. If you think you can get away from here, or if you think you can beat me, try it. You will lose all protection after the power of the arguments that have loomed over you has vanished, and I don't mind sacrificing you before leaving. ”
As the battleship water ghost said, when the two were talking, the dividing line around Kii was already close to her body, and it would touch her at any time.
――――
The mysterious submarine is quietly sailing by at the bottom of the sea at 4,000 meters, surrounded by aimless deep-sea ships, and it must have been discovered long ago if it were replaced by an ordinary submarine.
With long hair floating and its body close to its own hull, the diving suki closed her eyes and listened to everything around her, if she made a mistake, it could be discovered by the ships here, and the operation would fail directly.
Suddenly, it heard a special sound from a distance, there was a girl of the deep sea there, and the diver remembered that unique sound, Kii was so peaceful every time she fell asleep, just listening to her fluctuations after falling asleep made the diver feel peaceful.
"Congratulations, human. We found Kii. She's literally in the harbor water ghost's lab. ”
Through the control of the ship's instruments, the diving suki informed Sato Gonjun of the news. "But don't rejoice too soon, this is like an underwater base. It was no easy task to rescue Kii from this. ”
"It is precisely because it is never easy that it is worth us to act. I didn't think I'd be able to save Kii easily before I set off. ”
"It's good that you're ready. Check out your own gear items. When I find the right moment, I'll sneak in and open the hatch right away. Every minute and every second after that will be our precious time to act. ”
Gonjun Sato put on a diving suit of deep-sea technology and wore a variety of props that far exceeded the level of human technology. When he arrived, he had no fear, he had achieved what was impossible for humans. "Understood, let's go and rescue your Royal Highness the princess of the deep sea."
"Is this your human joke?" Diver Suhime slowly approached the hole of the "base" from the darkness along a calculated trajectory, and she had already received a lot of information from the current, including several other backup holes that could be entered.
After calculating the most suitable route to travel, the diving rogue suddenly accelerated, and its unique hull ensured that even when accelerating to the top, it would not be exposed.
"Three, two, one. Arrive at your destination. ”
