Chapter 691: Chapter 340: Sailing Toward Clear Skies (Part 2)
"Sister, me too." Farina laughed as she held her cheeks.
Although both of them showed signs of fatigue with traces of sweat covering their bodies, it seemed more like they had vented their suppressed emotions and appeared quite relaxed.
Li Ang simply smiled without saying anything. Relaxing now was fine, but when they faced the Empire, it would be a dangerously tough battle.
Seeing his expression, Xiaomo and Farina exchanged a glance, and the former was the first to speak: "Thinking about the Empire’s matter later?"
Li Ang nodded: "Mainly about that ’Destruction Battleship’. We must interrupt it before it’s completed and takes off."
"Do you have any ideas?"
Ideas? Does giving it a hard spiritual puncture like on Mengze Island count?
Ivynis hadn’t told Li Ang what the Annihilation Star Soul’s weaknesses were, but Li Ang felt she wasn’t intentionally hiding it.
This "feeling" wasn’t subjective conjecture but rather through multiple communications when he reached that world-pause state. Li Ang even felt that her mind and his had formed some kind of mysterious connection, allowing him to almost anticipate her words.
On this mysterious level, he seemed to be able to understand some of her inner thoughts.
The Star Soul is a civilization-annihilating weapon, while Jenoside is a Star Soul-annihilating weapon. It certainly wouldn’t be easily damaged by the common frenzy power of the Star Souls.
From what Li Ang currently knew, spiritual attacks were the most effective against it, and perhaps this was why its creator dared to create it; they held the method to destroy it.
However, when facing the Destruction Battleship, everything remained unknown.
"My Curse Art works on it; that’s been tested, but it’s best not to reach that stage," Li Ang said.
After the battle ended, Loken also arrived at the post-battlefield with some workers, enthusiastically recording information observed from the metal guard remnants.
Of course, recording information was just a side benefit. The official start of these works would be after they controlled the Mechanical Creation Furnace. They came to inform Li Ang and the others of the surface situation.
"Currently, everything is normal. You can temporarily set your mind at ease."
Loken said, on the surface, Riddel was leading the racing pilots for a flying performance, and the Shadow Shipyard’s observers also saw The Howling Wolf in the flying array.
"Her doing a flying performance? I can’t imagine it," Dorothy quipped.
Indeed, during the Flashing Field race, neither Li Ang sitting on her ship nor the three young girls watching could imagine the White Wolf sailing for a performance.
"She must be furious for missing out on fighting robots," Zoe laughed.
Her thought was straightforward and undisguised.
"I bet An would love to join us. After driving away the Empire, let’s bring her here. She’d surely love it," ALulu said.
Patting the obedient Xiaoniu’s head, Li Ang said: "Get a good rest tonight, aim to get through here by noon tomorrow."
Compared to other ancient ruins, the campaign at the Island Founder’s Artifact was quite efficient.
However, the main reason was that they withdrew from their homeland due to some external interference, even taking away most of their creations.
If it were unexpected extinction or self-destruction, the entire City of the Ship’s Rudder would truly be a relic, with the Mechanical Creation Furnace being just the core part.
Li Ang chatted with the young girls for a while and noticed Neil approaching from behind Loken.
"Leader Li Ang, your ship’s name has been engraved, but after I finished it, someone saw it and told me something..."
This was something Li Ang had requested before the battle, but at this moment, Li Ang felt his expression was slightly complex, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
Intuition told Li Ang, could there be a problem with the name "Eternal Summer" he didn’t know about?
"What’s the matter?"
"Have you not read that book?"
"Which book?"
"Never mind, it’s probably a coincidence, this name has a great meaning."
Neil appeared a bit reluctant, evidently wanting to praise it genuinely but was made speechless by some thought.
Li Ang squinted, quickly turning to the young girls standing behind him.
ALulu looked puzzled, Dorothy’s eyes dodged, Zoe... well, she wasn’t one to hide anything; her panic had already betrayed her.
"Thank you, I have something to discuss with them."
"No problem, the endeavor you’ve undertaken here can be considered a mighty feat; that’s the real effort, I won’t disturb you," Neil excused himself to let Li Ang chat with the team members alone and promptly withdrew.
Just as he was leaving, Li Ang noticed another expression on his face, which seemed to be... envy?
What was he envious of?
Sighing, Li Ang stopped Zoe, who was trying to slip away.
"You stay put."
"I, I’ll go check those metal pieces, didn’t Li Ang say they could be used to craft new swords? Haha," Zoe chuckled awkwardly.
During the first battle’s respite, Li Ang discovered that the materials he reverse-engineered were all relatively rare metals. After these Giant Metals were destroyed, they could be seen as a small composite ore vein, so he proposed making new weapons and shields for the young girls from these materials.
"You come too."
Li Ang dragged the sneaky Dorothy over, and she softly leaned against him with a gentle murmur.
"Spill it, what’s the catch with the ship name?"
Faced with Li Ang’s seriousness, Zoe pursed her lips, ultimately unable to hold on.
"I read it in a book, but I meant it sincerely."
"What did you read in the book?"
"The meaning of summer, starry seas of flowers and such."
Oh, so the fancy words from before were quoted too, but that’s fine. The process of learning is repeating knowledge from elsewhere until one develops their ideas; aside from blindly following and repeating certain nonsensical information, imitation and adaptation have their value.
