Chapter 39

1

Looking at the Dragon Bone Giant Sword, I recalled what Black Qin Yang had just mentioned and muttered to myself, "Even if my memories were able to help, I wouldn't know what happened before the Twin Dragons."

"Hey, hey, Cai Lai, you wouldn't be right about this, would you?"

"I have high intelligence."

"But you still use name verification, right?"

"I have high intelligence." Cai Lai repeated the same sentence.

"Even artificial intelligence can be shy... Logic would suggest that a single sentence from me would cause you to evolve on your own, right?" I sat on the ground, looking at the Empire emblem highlighted on the ceiling.

"Yes."

"I suggest using magic power as a means of verification, which is more accurate than fingerprints. Magic power, with its changing elemental attributes, doesn't alter its essence, it is something unique from birth."

"System updating..."

"Looks like there's plenty of time for updates." I picked up the sword and placed it in the center of the circular wall. The sword floated within it, and my palms merged as my fingers pressed down on the hilt.

As I opened my eyes wide, the Magic effect was very good, everything in front of me appeared different.

"What is that white skull-like thing in front? Cai Lai."

"System updating..."

"I really shouldn't have told you."

The main gun aircraft carrier "Azure Sky" was difficult to distinguish in the blue sky and sea due to its dazzling blue color, but being difficult to discern did not mean it was indistinguishable.

Qin Ying returned to the bridge, where a large amount of data awaited her to process. Due to a lack of manpower, it was impossible for the crew members alone to analyze them all. Even the vast amount of data couldn't be analyzed by Guffy, who was highly sensitive to text, and these data were crucial for the captain's decision-making.

"The combat strength of the pirates in the pirate area is not bad." Guffy concluded from the data and experience.

"Have we received any identification marks from the Empire?" This was the first question Qin Ying asked when she entered the bridge. If a marked aircraft carrier was targeted by pirates, the likelihood would be greatly reduced.

"Captain, not yet."

"Troublesome."

"Pirates have a very subjective style of doing things. Many pirates are indeed scared by the marks, but not all of them. At least, the pirates in Pong Blossom Bay are not afraid." Guffy looked down from the bridge and saw the pirate area being divided by dozens of pirates, who possessed stolen technology from other countries. However, it was difficult to control the various technologies, and technologies that were not useful would be sold to small countries at exorbitant prices. This was a business transaction based on luck, as nobody could guarantee that the technology the pirates sold to you was flawless and unreserved.

"It's thrilling to see the Pong Blossom Bay pirates."

"Thrilling? They don't have the normal diplomatic needs of Emoetinia. It doesn't matter what shameless things they do. Our biggest problem is that we don't have enough combat personnel."

"Principal, where is their territory?"

"That direction." Guffy pointed southwest towards the mist-filled solitary island.

"Activate the 'Silent Concealment', maintain the power to float, and shut down all unnecessary power."

"You want to leave here in a drifting state of inertia?" Guffy looked surprised but also happy. As a teacher, he was pleased that Qin Ying was able to come up with this method to pass through the pirate area.

"Qin Ying truly has the aura of a commander." Zi Sirou and Yu Yuanqing sat beside each other and commented.

"She is indeed a commander and the highest-ranking one here."

The sky slowly lost power, with inertia pushing forward. Although the speed had decreased significantly, at least it wouldn't be easily detected.

"If the pirates steal the main cannon carrier, a new nation will probably emerge in this sea area. Our Othrie is the black hand behind the establishment of this country. The international community doesn't care whether you intended it or not, anyway, they won't believe the truth was stolen," Yu Rou said.

"Yu Rou, this carrier won't be stolen," Qingxue sister looked ahead and nervously commanded Qin Ying.

"Qing, will your person be nearby?" Zi Sirou asked.

"Him? No, he's not the kind of person who would do this. He wouldn't have done it in the past, and he definitely wouldn't do it now."

Zi Sirou looked at Yu Rou Qing, who seemed very unnatural. Because of the confidentiality of the information, she needed to maintain her previous relationship with Yu Rou Qing.

"What is this?" Zi Sirou suddenly felt a strong and stable power bursting out.

"Captain, there's an abnormality with the power."

"Shut it down, there's too much noise from the abnormal power." Qin Ying was extremely nervous. The noise from the abnormal power eruption made even the fish in the sea uneasy.

The power monitoring crew had a solemn expression and quickly operated. Magic flowed into the power room from the bridge, but he couldn't intervene with the carrier's power. What surprised him the most was, "Strange, the main power room is clearly empty, why is the instrument reacting?"

"What did you say?" Qin Ying leaned against the monitor and stared at the instrument.

"Cai Lei!" Guffy called out the Empire emblem.

"System updating..." A clear electronic sound came from the emblem.

"What? It's updating for no reason."

"Principal, there's a rare reaction in the main power room!"

"Qin Yang, go inside."

"Captain, there are... pirates ahead! White flags."

"As expected, they've been lured here."

"Which pirate group uses white flags?"

"White flags generally mean surrender, but white flags with skulls are not to be underestimated, even though it's not the Pang Boswe Pirate, it's still not good news."

The communicator suddenly said, "Communication signal from the pirates ahead."

"Listen to what they're saying."

A low and hoarse laughter came from the bridge of the main cannon carrier.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I never expected a young girl to be the captain." Above the bridge, a man with a long braid appeared, surprisingly different from those scar-faced pirate kings. Although he was a rugged man, he had the thoughtfulness to braid his hair.

"Does it really matter who the captain is?"

"No, I'm just curious which country would allow a young girl to be the captain, even though you're wearing men's clothes."

"Othrie."

"But you have no insignia, who cares about you? Well, now that I know this carrier has such a beautiful woman, wait for me!"

"I'm afraid that won't be possible because you won't be able to defeat the main cannon! You better leave."

The man with the braid burst into laughter. He had already surrounded the carrier, but there was still no sight of any flying squadrons. He boldly speculated that this unidentified carrier was a tough opponent.

"Girl, stop the carrier!"

"Principal." Qin Ying gave Guffy a signal with her eyes, indicating that she should be ready. The strongest fighting force here was Qin Ying, Guffy, and Yu Rou Qing, but four hands were better than two fists, and there wasn't enough time to prepare to use the secret-level Magic.

"All because of that idiot, causing this mess."

"Captain, uh... if we fire the main cannon, the backup power won't support the 'Golden Bell'."

The monitor next to Qin Ying said.

"Is the propulsion system difficult to use?"

The monitor nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, weapon information appeared on the bridge, and the "Magic Framework Main Cannon" automatically activated.

The pirates outside the aircraft carrier stood uneasily on their floating pirate ship. They became a lot more timid when faced with the activated main cannon of the aircraft carrier.

"The defense of the main cannon aircraft carrier is known to be the weakest. Even if the main cannon can only fire in one direction, you five hundred people should prepare to forcefully enter, while the others attack with all their might!" the man with braided hair shouted on the pirate ship.

"Boss! The main cannon is very strange."

"'Speed Light Spear'? What kind of weapon is that?" Qin Ying discovered this weapon information in the weapon database.

One hundred small Magic formations with a diameter of ten meters each appeared in front of the main cannon position of the aircraft carrier. They immediately spread out along the ship, simultaneously attacking multiple locations. The light spears were incredibly powerful, directly piercing through several levels of pirate ships.

"I don't remember reading about this weapon in the manual?" Qin Ying looked out the window, pondering for a long time.

"This versatile framework main cannon is one of the weapons of the 'Floating Smoke.' What did Qin Yang use as the energy core?"

A blood-red thundercloud appeared on the aircraft carrier, with lightning enveloping the front of the ship.

"Warning, the Azure Sky Aircraft Carrier is about to move at full speed. All personnel, take necessary precautions." Cai Lai suddenly spoke, repeating the warning multiple times. Its system update was complete.

"What precautions are necessary?" Si Rou asked dumbfoundedly.

"Seat belts." Qing pulled out a seat belt from behind the chair and said.

Light spears shot out from the aircraft carrier, easily defeating the pirates. Surrounded by the blood-red thunder and lightning cloud, it broke free from the encirclement like a bolt of lightning, reducing everything it encountered on its path to ashes under the thundercloud.

The speed of the lightning made the entire aircraft carrier tremble. Without the warning, anyone not wearing a seatbelt would have become a splat of mush by now.

"The person controlling the aircraft carrier must be Qin Yang. No one else would use blood-red lightning. At least, I've never seen anyone else use this kind of lightning," Qin Ying sat in the captain's position, experiencing a power she had never felt before. The sensation was even more thrilling than a roller coaster ride.

The scene before my eyes was that of the aircraft carrier's front view. It was highly precise and accurate to control the carrier from the energy core, making the carrier as agile as one's own body.

"Why does it feel strange?"

The blood-red lightning in my hands flickered in the propulsion room, but I felt a slight headache.

I didn't know how much time passed before I released my hands and pulled out the Dragonbone Greatsword from the Magic formation. The aircraft carrier noticeably slowed down.

I looked at the lightning in my right hand, while my left hand held blue-white lightning. When the two types of lightning crossed paths, it made me think of something, bringing my thoughts back thirteen million years ago, to the final battle of the gods and demons.

"The Battle of the Twin Dragons, where the Holy Dragon and Demon Dragon entangled in the sky together? Was it really the sky? Or was it actually downwards? And after that, this sensation of crossing lightning also occurred."

My mind was in chaos, with memories of the entanglement of the Twin Dragons constantly repeating. It felt like chasing after a kite with a broken string. Even though the string was right in front of me, I couldn't seem to catch it.

It seemed like I needed to recall the final stop again, using the memories of the Holy Dragon and Demon Dragon to take a look. Could it be what Maharashtra Heaven meant?

The memories slowly merged, shattered pieces being put together one by one.
