Chapter 448: Decisive Battle Plan
The battle proceeded extremely quickly. Even as Qin Ge stood on the command ship, he could only see the towering water columns and the light brought by various shells and laser weapons sweeping across the sky.
The two sides fought for about ten minutes, and finally, as the water curtain gradually fell, Qin Ge also made out the exact situation before him.
The Purifier was somewhat embarrassed; one of its floating guns had been knocked out, and the shark-themed ship equipment on its body had a barrel knocked askew, leaving its face covered in black marks.
Nevertheless, despite being somewhat embarrassed, it was still very excited, its face full of unrestrained expression.
By contrast, in the Qin Ge Fleet, because Du Jiao Shou had been launching planes while maintaining the vanguard shipgirls, even though the vanguard shipgirls' training had not yet reached the conditions for Awakening, they still held up; however, each had already reached moderate damage, their faces filled with solemn expressions.
Meanwhile, the battleship was in worse shape: Monarch's clothes were torn to rags, Hao could no longer maintain his initial elegance, and Fanji had a turret damaged; the whole person was also in a state of moderate damage.
However, the aircraft carrier fleet was not greatly affected, after all they only needed to launch planes from afar; those that did not directly enter combat remained as before.
Obviously, the battle had now entered a stalemate, with everyone fighting with all their might, paying no heed to their current damage, because this battle would determine their future fate.
"Haha, just like that, go all out in the slaughter, discard everything! If you want to pass, kill me!" the Purifier shouted madly.
"Hmph, then I'll kill you!" Monarch said coldly, then raised the scepter in his hand and instantly charged at the Purifier.
The slaughter between the two sides began again; this assassination was almost hysterical, because both sides knew the other's condition was about the same, and if they wanted victory, they had to give it their all, betting everything!
Thus, amid the gunfire, a new round of attack began, and Qin Ge's heart rose to his throat.
Finally, after a period of brutal slaughter, the battle finally came to an end.
Relying on the barrage fired by Monarch's final shot, the Purifier reached its final moment; its entire body shattered completely, leaving only a skull floating on the sea surface.
"Is it over?" Monarch asked, looking embarrassed at the Purifier's skull, speaking warily.
"It should be over; she only has a head left, completely devoid of combat power." Hao said after taking a deep breath; such intensity of battle, she hadn't encountered in a long time.
"Only a skull remains; we definitely won!" Fanji said excitedly.
Moreover, while everyone was discussing, the skull floating on the sea suddenly opened its eyes.
"Although I have lost, I am not dead yet! Watch what you're saying!" the Purifier said.
"This... its vitality is truly tenacious!" Luodenni said, astonished, looking at the Purifier's skull.
At this moment, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea before everyone; all people warily stepped back a step and stared intently at the whirlpool.
Only, within the whirlpool there was no box dropping as before; instead, two figures suddenly appeared.
One of the figures bore ship equipment resembling a sea bat, while the other sat upon ship equipment like an octopus, slowly descending onto the sea surface.
However, since the whirlpool appeared directly above the Purifier's skull, when those two landed they happened to step on the Purifier's skull into the sea.
Only saw bubbles madly rising from the sea, then a series of sounds transmitted.
"I said don't step on my head in the sea; although I lost, at least I still completed the mission!" the Purifier shouted.
"Oh?" the Siren sitting on the octopus said softly, then her ship equipment extended a tentacle, lifting the Purifier's skull from beneath the sea surface.
This scene made people feel chills, but everyone's attention was not here; it was on those two figures.
"First meeting, shipgirls and Qin Ge Commander, let me introduce myself: I am the Observer, and you surely know her, so I need not introduce her further." the Observer said with a smile.
"Observer?" Monarch's and Hao's faces changed; they obviously hadn't expected the Sirens to have other humanoid high-grade forms, and judging by the Observer's appearance, her status is not low.
Naturally, the command ship where Qin Ge was also heard the Observer's voice; hearing that familiar voice, Qin Ge said, "So you are the mastermind behind everything?"
"Of course not; I don't yet have that qualification." the Observer smiled, "Let's not talk about that for now; first, congratulations on successfully passing the sixth stage—truly a splendid battle that provided much data for our experiment.
"Therefore, as a reward for clearing the sixth stage, here is a research cube of the Decisive Battle Plan, which I give to you."
As the Observer spoke, a Wisdom Cube appeared out of thin air before her; this Wisdom Cube is similar to Monarch's earlier one, except that whereas Monarch's is purplish-red, this Wisdom Cube is itself colorful.
"Decisive Battle Plan? What level of research shipgirl is this?" Qin Ge asked strangely.
Only see the Observer flick her hand; the cube slowly flew to Monarch's face, and Monarch immediately grasped it in his hand.
Finally, the Observer looked at the distant command ship and slowly said, "The grades of research shipgirls are divided into two: Supreme Plan and Decisive Battle Plan. Monarch's existence is the Supreme Plan, equivalent to a Super Rare Shipgirl among shipgirls."
"The existence of the Decisive Battle Plan corresponds to a Sea Legend Rank Shipgirl among shipgirls, so do you understand?"
All the shipgirls looked in astonishment at the Wisdom Cube in Monarch's hand, and Qin Ge was also greatly surprised; suddenly he thought of something: "So these research cubes and shipgirls are all created by you Sirens?"
"Hehe, Commander Qin Ge's question really gets to the core; however, since we previously promised to answer your current question, I can answer this." the Observer said with a smile.
"Shipgirls and research shipgirls are not created by us; perhaps we can say that our existence is another possibility of shipgirls, including shipgirls and us, both created by the Creator."
"What!"
This information not only surprised Qin Ge, but also made all the shipgirls feel extraordinarily surprised.
"You Sirens actually share the same origin as shipgirls?" Qin Ge asked in astonishment.
"Why not?" the Observer said with a smile.
