"ah?!"
"I think my secret will be exposed soon! Remember how we worked together?"
Ye Han winked at [Sword Star], whose face inexplicably flushed red: "Ah? Really! Well... okay then! I... I should be able to do it..."
The two people spoke very softly, so softly that they couldn't be heard by outsiders, but the mockery continued.
"There are only a dozen seconds left!"
"Tsk tsk tsk...the former champions are nothing special after all—"
"It's over! Instead of struggling for so long, you might as well have surrendered from the start..."
"......"
[Propeller speed: 55 > 44 > 33...]
It looks like the numbers are about to drop completely and end!
Ye Han's gaze immediately fell upon [Sword Star]: "Sword Star!"
"clear!"
"[World]...[Moment]!!!"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The mocking voices around them froze instantly, and the white light shimmering in front of the ship also froze. Only the [Sword Star] moved slowly, carrying the five 'light ships' attached to it backward...
8S...7S...
At the same time!
"Thump—"
The captain's cabin door opened, and Ye Han looked at the bare ships around the ship's side. His face darkened, and he immediately rushed out of the ship's deck and jumped into the sea with a "boom"!
"Buzz!"
The next moment!
A few meters away from the Sword Star, a ship girl appeared, similar in size to the Sword Star, but with a hull pattern resembling a sliding shooting star and adorned with a falling star design!
Ye Han's voice suddenly came from inside the ship!
"【Sword Star】!"
"Are you ready?"
"Huh? Ye Han...you...you're not trying to hit me, are you?"
As if it had already guessed something, the ship began to tremble.
"That's right!"
“We may have been misled by that guy from the very beginning! He didn’t have five people, and he didn’t hide anywhere... The real safe place was right under our noses!”
"The one who is trapped cannot possibly harm themselves..."
"This is the safest place!"
"[Sword Star]! Time is running out! Collide with me once... This collision must be devastating!"
6S...5S...
The time for the "World Moment" keeps disappearing.
"I...I understand..."
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In the calm world, two similar-looking ships were rapidly moving backward, then their propellers suddenly accelerated forward, leaving a terrifying deep groove in the solidified turquoise sea.
4S...3S...
"Boom—"
As the spray of water froze, the bows of the two ships collided at high speed, causing the bows to shudder violently and the impact to reverberate through the hulls...
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
Amidst the rapid vibrations of the [Sword Star], upon closer inspection, the outline of a white, dusty ship could be faintly seen on its surface.
Due to the impact, the bow of the [Sword Star] cracked, and strangely, the bow of the ship also cracked.
"really..."
"This guy isn't anywhere, he's right on us!"
"[Sword Star]...Endure the pain, this time, it's my turn to attack you first!"
"I'll cripple this guy before the [World Time] ends!"
"Hmm—it's okay, I can handle it..."
"This ship must have been damaged simultaneously with the ship I possessed... My impact resistance is probably the same as hers, but my willpower is definitely no weaker than hers!"
As Ye Han's silent voice rang out, [Sword Star] actually turned the ship sideways!
"bring it on!"
2S...1S...
"Gurgle—"
As the [World Moment] abruptly stopped, the surrounding seawater gradually resumed its surging, and the man's mocking voice rang out again: "Time's almost up—"
"you..."
"ah!!!!!"
"It hurts! My head hurts so much!!! I'm bleeding! I'm bleeding!!!"
Just as the male voice rang out, a female voice that had never been heard before suddenly exploded out!
Within the time freeze, one feels nothing upon impact...
Once time resumed, the intense pain returned, and a loud, sorrowful female voice instantly echoed across the sea!
"What?!"
"What...what did you do?!"
The male voice was clearly still in shock.
But the next moment!
Boom!!!
The ship, its hull marked by a meteor's trajectory, slammed its sharp bow directly into the side of the [Sword Star]. Caught off guard, the [Sword Star] was immediately blasted away, spinning wildly on the sea!
"Click-click-click—"
The sturdy ship planks cracked, and a series of shrill screams echoed through the air!
"ah!!!"
"Ah!!! Why...why did you dare to hit yourself?!"
"And what are you? Why... why is there suddenly another ship?!"
A hysterical scream echoed, not from the [Sword Star], but from its surface. Amidst flashes of light and mist, a ship's silhouette flew out from within the [Sword Star] and staggered onto the sea's surface...
"Ho—"
"I knew it..."
"You're all alone... You and your 'boat girl' staged this whole thing, having a blast, huh..."
After Ye Han's cold gaze fell upon the light mist ship, the ship, marked by the trajectory of a meteor, had already arrived at the side of the [Sword Star]!
[Sword Star] transformed into the human form of a ship girl, clutching her back, with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth and forehead, and limped onto the ship's [Captain's Cabin]!
"you..."
"You rascal..."
"Why do you have another boat?"
"etc!"
"You! You...you...you wouldn't happen to be...a male ship girl?!"
