Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

Chapter 271: Yamato Returns, the War Ends

In the Arctic Ocean, through the giant imaginary channel released by the snow, many warships of the Combined Fleet arrived here, including Kaohsiung and Hyuga far away in Iwo Jima, Kirishima, Haruna, Makie far away in the United States, and Kongo and Maya on standby in the Pacific Ocean.

“We actually arrived at our destination so quickly!”

Looking at the changing scenery outside the window, the crew of I-401 were amazed. Space movement was really unreasonably convenient.

"Everyone, prepare for battle, they are coming."

Since they did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, the moment the complete combined fleet appeared in the Arctic Ocean, they were discovered by the Mist Fleet.

At the end of the foggy sea, the super battleship Musashi leads the fog fleet and approaches with great momentum, ready to annihilate everyone in one fell swoop.

"Everyone, form up according to the original plan and begin the battle!"

"understand!"

Upon hearing the words of Xue, the commander-in-chief of the decisive battle operation, the members of the combined fleet immediately dispersed according to the original plan, luring the enemy in order to achieve the goal of dividing the battlefield.

Seeing this, the Mist Fleet naturally would not refuse this bait that was delivered to their doorstep, and dispersed to begin pursuing the Combined Fleet.

Suddenly, in the center of the naval battlefield, only the two flagships of the Combined Fleet - I-401 and Kilshaji, and the flagship of the Mist Fleet, Musashi, were left.

On the bridge, Xue looked at Musashi not far away, who still thought he had won and had a faint smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Iona, are you ready?"

"Ok!"

As Iona responded, the hull of the Chirsaqi began to gradually decompose and turned into pure nano-matter, surrounding I-401 in the form of an asteroid ring.

Xue jumped and landed steadily on the bow of I-401.

Xue closed her eyes slightly, and the breath of sea fog instantly spread to the entire Arctic Ocean battlefield.

Inside the cabin, the core in Iona's body that originally belonged to Yamato resonated with the snow, and the pale blue sea mist emblem immediately appeared on the side of the I-401's hull.

Nearly endless nanomaterials are integrated into the body of I-401. The entire existence of I-401 is undergoing visible changes and reshaping, and its various functions are being enhanced at a terrifying geometric speed.

"Is this the power of a super battleship..."

"Neither the power nor the armor is on the same level..."

“It’s like a dream…”

The crew of I-401 witnessed everything that was happening on the ship with their own eyes, their eyes full of surprise.

Musashi on the opposite side was so shocked that he opened his eyes. It was that familiar feeling. Yamato was really back.

The ship's reconstruction and upgrade were completed. Xue and Iona, wearing similar white dresses, held each other's hands and appeared together on the bridge of the super battleship emitting dazzling white light.

Behind the two of them, the shadow of Yamato, which no one could see except the two of them, was standing quietly, looking at Musashi from afar.

Iona's core and Yuki's memories eventually recreated the original Yamato, though now she was just a phantom that no one could see.

"Yamato?"

Seeing the two people on the deck who also exuded the aura of Yamato, the excitement on Musashi's face gradually turned into confusion. Why, are there two Yamatos?

"Musashi, I have something I must tell you~" x2

At this moment, Xue's voice overlapped with Iona's voice, becoming the original Yamato's voice.

"I love you~"

The next moment, the two of them and Musashi's consciousness entered the Mist Fleet command terminal space dedicated to the super battleship.

"No! Who are you guys?!"

Upon hearing this, Musashi immediately realized that neither of the two people in front of him was the Yamato he knew, and he took a big step back.

The real Yamato would never say such words to himself who sank her.

"We are the successors of Yamato."

"Successor?" Musashi asked in confusion.

"Iona inherited Yamato's core, and I, Chirsaji, inherited Yamato's memories."

"I see, another doll left behind by Yamato..."

Musashi thought she knew what kind of existence Snow was, but then a voice suddenly sounded, denying what she said.

"no."

At the same time, Iona and Xue's figures merged into one, replaced by the original Yamato.

In this terminal space, she is no longer the electronic ghost that no one can touch.

"Yamato?"

Seeing the Yamato he was most familiar with appear before him, Musashi was now completely confused.

"Yes, Musashi, it's me~"

"That's great, Yamato, you finally wiped out those two kids just now."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy reappeared on the confused Musashi's face.

"You're just like the human who killed my father..."

Yamato frowned slightly and shook his head.

"I didn't do that."

From Yamato's mouth, the voices of Yuki and Iona sounded at the same time.

It is true that Yamato appears again, but this time she also possesses the characteristics of both Xue and Iona.

"What?" Musashi froze in place again.

"Now I am just a phantom that has temporarily reappeared through those two children."

"Musashi, I failed to hurt you at that time. No, I should say that I gave up on you."

"So now, even if it takes everything, I will stop you."

Outside the terminal space, the Yamato and Musashi, both super battleships, are engaged in a duel that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

One white and one black, two steel behemoths that are far larger than a large battleship are flying in the air. The weapons on the ships are continuously firing at each other, and the power of each attack is equivalent to the full-strength attack of a large battleship's super-gravity cannon.

"You said to stop it, but you clearly don't know anything!!!"

Musashi seemed to have received some intense stimulation and his expression became extremely angry.

"I know."

Yamato shook his head.

"There's no place to go anymore. Nothing can heal... the anger I felt back then."

"Actually, I should have been by your side the whole time."

Musashi's eyes trembled.

She was afraid, she knew it all, but she didn't want to, let alone admit it.

"No!!! I'm not angry at all!"

"According to the naval code, humans are stupid creatures and must be destroyed!!!"

"Musashi, humans possess immense and irreplaceable power."

Yamato paused, his voice temporarily changing to Iona's.

“I only understood this after I met Gunzo and the others.”

“Inner strength can transcend possibilities.”

"We should also have inner feelings." Yamato's voice changed back.

"Musashi." Musashi took another step back.

"I will accept your heart, because I am your sister~"

Past memories flooded into Musashi's mind. She was silent for a moment, but in the end, the hatred in her heart prevailed.

"Hate!"

"Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!"

"Hate it! Hate it!!!"

"Everything, disappear completely!!!"

The out-of-control Musashi no longer held back, the space curvature displacement system was fully deployed, and the entire ship recklessly unleashed firepower towards the Yamato that was enough to annihilate an entire continent in an instant.

But unfortunately, even so, her attack was useless.

After all, the current Yamato is not exactly the super battleship Yamato that used to be the flagship of the Mist Fleet, but an upgraded version that far exceeds its previous version after being upgraded with the power of snow.

Facing the terrifying firepower, Yamato rushed to the front of Musashi's hull intact, and the super-gravity cannon on the bow was instantly charged.

"emission!!!"

Following the group's command, the blue-black torrent bombarded Musashi's Klein force field at close range, and finally pierced through it.

"...!!!"

In the terminal space, Musashi's eyes widened, his mental model became garbled, and he fell straight down.

Seeing this, Yamato took her into his arms, and behind her, Xue and Iona were watching the two of them quietly.

Holding Musashi, Yamato turned around and smiled at Xue and Iona.

"Thank you, Iona, for having another me."

"Ah."

"It's okay. After all, we are part of each other."

The figures of Yamato and Musashi began to gradually turn into stars and dissipate, and Xue and Iona were not idle either.

"As the spokesperson for the Naval Code, I, the flagship Yamato, inform you all." x2

"This is an order from the flagship." x2

"Repeat, this is the order from the flagship." x2

The voices of the two men reached every corner of the earth, reaching the ears of everyone, sea mist and human alike.

"Command from the flagship?"

"It's Mother Kilsagi!"

"What? Is it I-401 and Kilshaji?"

"Sister...Mister?"

"All combat orders on board cease. From now on, I order the members of the Mist Fleet to survive on their own will." x2

"This is the final flagship order." x2

As soon as the words fell, the figures of Yamato and Musashi had completely disappeared. Xue and Iona smiled at each other and returned to reality.

The huge Yamato ship floating in the air was re-decomposed into I-401 and Kilshaji on the sea surface.

"Now, everything is over."

Standing on the deck, Xue, who had returned to her original appearance, looked at the morning sun rising from the sea after the thick fog dissipated in the distance.

From now on, everyone in the Mist Fleet will be able to determine the direction of the future with their own will.

Some of them may even become confused or violent about the current situation.

But at least, they have their own will and are no longer just weapons and puppets, but objects that can communicate and understand each other.
