"......"

Zheng Hao was also able to notice the unusual activity overhead.

The distance between their ships wasn't very large, and he could hear everything that was happening behind him clearly.

"wrong..."

"Perhaps it's not that the [Chosen Ones] have fallen! Rather, the 'fate' of the [Shattered Stars] is higher than that of these fragmented 'Chosen Ones,' so with the [Shattered Stars] around, they are destined to lack the protagonist's halo..."

"Furthermore, [Shattered Star] can also absorb the luck of others..."

His gaze fell on [Shattered Star] in his arms, and the other's lips curled into a smile: "Relax! This match is already won—"

"......"

Without saying a word, Zheng Hao pressed the [RPM] button and charged forward at full speed!

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

As the [Return Ship] above continued to exert its power, Hai Wuliang unleashed a burst of air at the seawater, causing his neck and face to contort into a spring-like shape...

With a loud "boom!"

The enormous spring slowly sank from the sky, like a pile of scrap metal, completely disappearing into the dark depths of the sea...

"Bang bang bang—"

Dust billowed, and the faint echoes of Hai Wuliang's lingering curses could still be heard: "Double...double the repayment...double...double..."

He wasn't quite dead yet, but he wasn't far from it.

This once-renowned "King of Mithril" and "Son of the Sea King," who was to endure three years to reclaim his throne, was thus completely buried at the bottom of the sea along with his "ship girl"...

It is exactly the same future he once saw!

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh—"

Two ship girls mercilessly sailed over the Return Ship.

The current competition consists of only [Shattered Star], [Sword Star], [Unwavering], and [Killer Queen].

The four boats proceeded in sequence, calmly passing through the saw blade area three or four times.

Suddenly!

"It's time..."

"Either... we deal with this [Unconfused], or let me and the [Sword Star] give it a try!"

"[The Tassius mainframe database has now analyzed a new ship technique! Explosive acceleration! Utilizing the 'Killer Queen's' characteristics, unleash the 'Bite the Dust' explosion at the stern; the thrust of the explosion will allow the ship to accelerate again!]"

Inside the Captain's Cabin of the Killer Queen, [Number One]... no! To be precise, the light of a chip flickered in Gan Lan's eyes, and a slow smile curved her lips!

It's done!

It's finally done!

The 'chip' that can self-learn [ship skills], a chip with extremely high algorithms, has finally mastered it at this moment after so many learning and practical experiences!

"【explode】..."

"【accelerate】!!!"

"Boom—"

Without the slightest hesitation, at the stern of the pink cat boat, the cat's tail suddenly shook against the seawater, and then with a loud "boom," a fire and explosion occurred. The [Killer Queen], which had been lying low at the back, was propelled forward at an astonishing speed by the explosion at the stern!

"Boom boom boom—"

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder. The [Unwavering] ship didn't even have time to react before the [Assassin Queen] hurtled past it, grazing the ship's side!

"Boom boom boom—"

Visibly, behind the stern of the [Killer Queen], fire and explosions continued unabated, creating a significant distance between it and the [Unwavering]!

"good..."

"Wow, that's fast..."

"【300】, right? It's definitely over 【300】 RPM, isn't it?"

[Unconfused] muttered to himself, while Merlin Amin's face turned grim: "[Explosive Acceleration]? He's creating 'ship skills' too?! What the hell is this guy?!"

"【Bite the Dust】!!!"

However!

Before the two people in the cabin could even figure it out...

Boom!!!

As Amin gripped the helm tightly, a loud explosion erupted in her hand, flames surged from the helm, and she was thrown against the wall by the flames!

"Boom—boom—boom—"

Countless explosions rang out all around the cabin, splinters of wood flew everywhere, and waves of fire surged. One of Amin's arms was blown off, and his entire face was mangled and bloody from the sudden explosion at the helm!

"ah!!!!!"

Screams echoed in the captain's cabin.

Merlin Amin was blasted into a corner, his face deathly pale, staring straight ahead with a murderous glint in his eyes: "It's her! It's that damned 'Assassin Queen'! She made us fight against the 'Return Ship'!"

"After using us, she actually went and set off an explosion..."

"she..."

"How dare she play me like this?!"

"She dares!!!"

One of her eyeballs was trembling and protruding from her eyelid; Amin's current appearance could only be described as monstrous.

but!

Swaying, amidst the roar of the exploding ship, she slowly retrieved the serum she had tucked into her chest and strode quickly toward [Unconfused], who had also been caught in the explosion and fallen into a corner!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

Crimson serum gushed forth.

[Bu Huo] opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at Ya Min uneasily: "What...what are you going to do?!"

"Hahaha—hahaha—"

There are no other options! None!!!

"Now, either we both get blown up! Or... we [Break the Distance]!"

"Didn't I tell you? We're the couple!"

"Now... is the time!"

"Pfft—"

As the serum plunged into the shoulder of the Unperturbed, the flames in the captain's cabin exploded with a deafening roar! The white jade of the Unperturbed tumbled and exploded underwater, sending jade fragments flying everywhere!

Can...

Strangely, although the ship was completely blown apart, Merlin Amin's remains were not found in the flames.

"Gurgle—"

A little while later...

In the smoke and fire following the explosion, a strange light flickered and vanished into the darkness...
