Chapter 504: Sakura Empire Divine Child

"Is this successful?" Guan Xue murmured.

"Yeah, what else would we do?" Qin Ge said with a smile.

"No, this..." For a moment, Guan Xue couldn't find words.

Yun Zi, who usually prided himself on his good luck, was also stunned; he suddenly felt that the many shipgirls under his commander were not as he imagined, accumulated through resources.

Qin Ge smiled, then picked up a Rapid Construction Tool from under his feet and placed it into the construction device's slot. The moment he pressed the button, the construction device rumbled, and the time on the screen vanished instantly.

After a rumble, the construction device fell silent; just as everyone wondered, its hatch suddenly opened, and a golden light accompanied by thick smoke appeared instantly.

Moreover, this golden light grew brighter, far more intense than the light that usually appears.

At that moment, Zhang Men, far beneath the Sakura Empire's Divine Tree, opened her eyes, as if looking through countless obstacles toward the direction of Sun and Moon Island.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Mutsu asked strangely from beside her.

Zhang Men shook her head. "Nothing, I just sensed that a soul like mine has appeared in this world."

"A soul like mine? Could another sister have appeared?" Mutsu exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Men nodded. "The direction of that aura is in Donghuang; it must be Commander Qin Ge."

"Commander Qin Ge, is he the person who came with Senior Mikasa last time?" Mutsu asked.

"Yes." Zhang Men withdrew her gaze and said to Mutsu, "Over the years, the Nine Major Factions have been in constant turmoil, never having sincere cooperation. The Sakura Empire is no different, and perhaps Commander Qin Ge is the opportunity to change all that.

Under his command, the shipgirls of the Nine Major Factions are gathering, and new Awakened Shipgirls are beginning to appear. I cannot see his future, but I believe it will only get better."

"I don't get it." Mutsu scratched his head.

"We don't need to understand; we just need to watch quietly." Zhang Men said.

Meanwhile, the hatch of the construction device finally opened to its maximum position, golden light covered the entire Grand Hall and spread outward; from afar, the whole Grand Hall glowed with golden light.

Seeing this, Qin Ge and Tiancheng could already guess which shipgirl would appear.

Sure enough, as the smoke and light faded, a girl wearing a white Divine Tree robe appeared before everyone.

Although she differed from the Zhang Men Qin Ge had seen before, he recognized her at once: the girl standing before him was the Sakura Empire's second-generation flagship, Zhang Men.

Zhang Men opened her golden eyes, scanned the crowd, and then fixed her gaze on Qin Ge directly opposite her.

"I am the flagship of the Sakura Empire United Fleet—Zhang Men. Are you the commander? I will personally confirm with these eyes whether you have the ability to seize the world!"

Qin Ge smiled, nodded, stepped forward, and extended his hand to Zhang Men: "Hello, Zhang Men, I am Qin Ge. From today on, I am your commander. I hope to receive your guidance in the days ahead."

"Shake hands?" Zhang Men looked at Qin Ge's outstretched hand, hesitated, then placed her hand in his large hand.

A warm sensation made Zhang Men's cheeks turn slightly red; she quickly withdrew her hand and looked at Qin Ge, saying, "I represent the martial spirit of the Sakura Empire, its glory and its splendor. I am one of the Big Seven; my existence is that era."

Qin Ge smiled. "I understand, or perhaps I have been waiting for you too long."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Men asked.

"Explaining would take too long; better go ask Tiancheng over there—she'll tell you everything." Qin Ge said with a smile, finally pointing to Tiancheng not far behind him.

"Tiancheng?" Hearing Qin Ge mention that name, Zhang Men was genuinely surprised, then looked behind Qin Ge and indeed saw that familiar figure, smiling at her.

"You really are here?" Zhang Men exclaimed in astonishment.

"Hehe, Lady Zhang Men, please come here; let me introduce our fleet." Tiancheng smiled.

"Hmm, then please trouble yourself."

Watching Zhang Men walk toward Tiancheng, Qin Ge smiled faintly, about to continue constructing another shipgirl, when he was suddenly surrounded by people.

"Is that Zhang Men? I've read about shipgirls; she is the Sakura Empire's divine child, right? How could you summon her?" Guan Xue looked at Qin Ge and asked.

"Exactly, that's a faction flagship!" Jin Fei also said to Qin Ge.

At that moment, Wu Hao, who had been watching from afar, walked over and said to the group, "This is completely normal for our commander; besides Zhang Men, haven't you noticed that his fleet also includes faction flagships like Bisimai, Weineituo, and Lisailiu?

Also, when the commander summons, just watch from the side; if you can't handle it, slip away quietly. If you want to cause some trouble, let me warn you first: Tiancheng nearby is close to or has already reached full proficiency as a shipgirl.

So, think it through."

"Cough!" Several people immediately stepped back, instantly clearing space around Qin Ge.

Seeing this, Qin Ge couldn't help but smile: "You've just joined the fleet, so you might not be clear yet, but you'll get used to it.

So, Guan Xue, do you still want me to keep summoning?"

"Yes, I want to see just how lucky you, the commander, really are!" Guan Xue said through gritted teeth.

Qin Ge smiled, shook his head, stopped paying attention to the others, and continued picking up two Wisdom Cubes and 1,500 units of supplies, placing them into the construction device and pressing the start button.

Thus, under everyone's gaze, the construction device began to rumble. Soon, a time appeared on its screen, making the few newcomers standing nearby twitch their faces constantly.

2:00:00!

Qin Ge looked at that time, nodded, lowered his head, took a Rapid Construction Tool, placed it into the construction device's slot, and pressed the activation button.

As the construction device began to rumble, the time on the display instantly reset to zero. The device's hatch also began to open slowly, and a golden light seeped out, accompanied by thick smoke.

Seeing this, the crowd directly turned and left the Grand Hall.

No more watching; looking again won't teach you anything.

As for Wu Hao and the others, they smiled, gave Qin Ge a distant greeting, and left. Now the entire construction chamber contains only Qin Ge's people.

At this moment, the construction device's hatch is fully open, and a new shipgirl appears before Qin Ge.

With her short brown hair and tech-filled ship equipment, she looks quite dashing, giving off a feeling of a female general…
