Chapter 172 Yuan (Part 1) 3000 Words

Meta means [元].

Meta is a trend and a nature. It is the process of change and the result of change.

In the settings of the game, after the mental Rubik's Cube is meta-formed, it will eventually turn into a black-red Meta Rubik's Cube.

If a ship girl experiences something completely despairing, she will fall into metamorphosis and transform into a blackened meta ship girl.

When meta ship girls gain power, they are often accompanied by huge changes in their personalities, such as a strong desire to destroy or being ruthless towards everything.

And if the meta level of a meta ship girl is not controlled, the meta ship girl will eventually become an overly meta monster that loses its mind and only knows how to destroy everything.

Fortunately, the meta ship girls who join the port area will no longer continue to increase their meta level.

Although I can't return to my previous meta appearance, I'm still stable and don't have to worry about turning into a monster one day.

This was also the reason why Lin Lan recognized the changes in Sui Qiong in front of him at a glance, because there were as many as two digits of meta ship girls in his port area.

The black crystal particles emitted from their bodies when they summoned their ships were exactly the same as the Shattered Dome at this time.

But games are games, and this was also the first time he had seen metamorphosis with his own eyes, and the target was a machine girl who was completely different from a ship girl.

Broken Qiong, who had begun to metamorphose, walked towards him and the Iron-Blooded Ship girls step by step, holding a black-red light blade in his hand.

The space cracks around the petite white-haired girl's body became denser and denser like a spider web as she followed her footsteps, gradually expanding to the entire world.

However, before Broken Qiong could take two steps, several broken space fragments collapsed and fell in the blurry sky, and a few rays of orange light shone in from the broken gaps.

You can still vaguely see the dusk fire clouds outside through these gaps in space.

Seeing this scene, Prince Eugen's face changed slightly, and he immediately said loudly:

"Commander! The mirror sea is about to collapse..."

But before Eugen finished speaking, Lin Lan suddenly discovered that Eugen's body had become blurry and gradually became transparent!

He immediately looked at Egil, Mr. Nimi and other Iron-Blooded Ship Girls. All of them, including their ship uniforms, began to become transparent and began to disappear in this mirror sea!

The Iron-Blooded Ship girls rushed toward him anxiously, with fright and eagerness on their faces. It looked like they were talking about something, but he couldn't hear it at all.

Even Z1 and Ron passed through his body, like phantoms that had no body.

Seeing this scene, Lin Lan looked down at his body with a bitter look on his face.

Sure enough, his body was still solid.

He was left in this mirror sea that was about to collapse.

"Commander, they were sent out by Broken Qiong."

"So, now, let's destroy... Shattered Sky..."

The mecha girl's crying voice came from behind Lin Lan.

Lin Lan sighed deeply.

Sure enough, in the end, it was up to me to solve this problem personally.

"Shattered Sky, listen to me, Oran has not been destroyed..."

Lin Lan tried to explain clearly to the meta mecha girl who was pressing closer and closer in front of him that Olan was still alive and was not dead.

But as soon as Sui Qiong heard his words, he immediately interrupted ruthlessly:

"Then why, Sui Qiong can't contact the database, why can't Sui Qiong see any companions!"

The petite white-haired girl's voice changed from a cry to a heart-rending roar.

Under the influence of this sudden burst of emotion, the black-red energy light blade in Sui Qiong's hand was swung upwards by her.

A majestic black and red energy sword energy flew out, passed through the world gap in the mirror sea area, and flew into the clouds in the dusk sky outside.

"boom!"

The sword energy exploded in the clouds. Lin Lan raised his head and looked at the orange clouds in the sky in shock. A large vacuum was created by the explosion caused by the sword energy.

He didn't want to say anything else before he opened his mouth.

The next second, the extremely sharp tip of the energy light blade appeared in front of his neck!

Lin Lan could even feel the cold killing intent coming from the tip of the knife and seeping into his body through the skin of his neck.

"Hey, is this the strength of a machine girl who has fallen into metamorphosis!"

The Shattered Dome, which was trapped in metamorphosis, was moving at high speed. As a hero who had obtained the power of a hero, he didn't even have any time to react before the knife was already placed on his neck.

It is indeed a creation of Rubik's Cube Technology, a unique machine girl.

Even a brave man can do nothing in this situation.

After all, the power of Rubik's Cube technology has surpassed the limits of human imagination in this world.

"The makers of Shattered Dome said to Shattered Dome before the war was about to end and Shattered Dome went into hibernation."

The girl who pointed the tip of the energy light blade at Lin Lan's neck covered her crimson eyes with her other hand and spoke with a trembling voice:

"When Broken Dome wakes up again, what it will see will be a prosperous and powerful Oran without war or pain."

"At that time, Shattered Sky will have countless new companions. They will no longer witness their companions being destroyed by the enemy anytime and anywhere, and they will no longer engage in killings and battles day after day."

Lin Lan listened to the low-toned narration of the Tyrant Mecha girl in front of him, and the extremely rich sadness was conveyed to his heart from the girl's voice.

"But, why..."

Shard Sky's voice gradually rose, and he suddenly moved his other arm away from the red eye, staring at Lin Lan and angrily questioned loudly:

"Why why why! They want to deceive Shatter Sky! Orlan is gone, and Shatter Sky's companions are gone! What's the point of leaving Shatter Sky alone alive!!!"

Accompanied by the girl's angry roar, the remaining mirror sea space around her suddenly rose with black and red light patterns, and Lin Lan was instantly like being taken to hell!

And Lin Lan saw that Shatter Sky's other blue eye began to be gradually eroded by red.

"Obviously, obviously it has been agreed... Why is it... Woo, woo..."

After venting her anger, Shatter Sky actually shed tears like a little girl.

She threw the energy light blade on the ground weakly, squatted down, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her head, and cried helplessly like a wronged little girl.

As the mecha girl cried, the mirror sea that was originally rendered in black and red also faded in an instant and began to collapse more quickly.

Feeling the murderous intent that had almost condensed into substance in front of his neck dissipate, Lin Lan understood that Shattered Sky's mind had begun to become unstable during the meta process.

This was an extremely dangerous signal and could not be dragged on any longer.

Once it fell into excessive meta, Shattered Sky's mind would probably never recover and become a monster that only knew destruction.

Lin Lan looked around anxiously, watching the mirror sea collapse holes appearing one after another in the sky. He forced himself to calm down and think frantically.

In this situation, he must first convince Shattered Sky and awaken the will of this mecha girl to live.

He himself still had a backup plan to escape, but those means were only for him.

What Shattered Sky just said made it impossible for him to give up this mecha girl and escape alone.

So how could he stabilize Shattered Sky first and let her agree to successfully escape from this mirror sea with him?

As for how to restore Broken Dome after going out, maybe the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls still have a way to suppress the intensification of Broken Dome's meta, but this is not the time to consider it yet.

Lin Lan took a deep breath and looked back at Broken Dome, whose mind was on the verge of collapse.

How easy is it to arouse Broken Dome's desire to survive?

He only knew that in the game, the ship girl who fell into meta would not continue to deepen the meta level after joining the port.

The problem is that these are all settings mentioned in one sentence in the game.

He really didn't know how to quickly reduce the meta level of the ship girl who fell into meta, not to mention that the Broken Dome in front of him was not a ship girl.

Seeing the space around him gradually collapse, Lin Lan decided to rely on talk therapy and try to make Broken Dome agree to leave here with him first.

Lin Lan mustered up his courage and tried to soften his tone. He walked to the side of Suiqiong and squatted down, saying:

"Suiqiong, in fact, your creators have never lied to you from beginning to end."

"After the war between Oran and the Natlan Empire ended, they have been recovering from the economic trauma caused by the war, and there has been no war again."

"But later, just when Oran was preparing to create a new companion for you, it suffered an unprecedented disaster, a disaster brought by bad guys from other worlds."

"It was also in that disaster that Oran's data system was destroyed, so you couldn't contact the database."

As Lin Lan spoke, he observed the black-winged mecha girl who buried her head and cried, and black crystal particles continued to emit around her body.

The other party seemed to have listened to his words, and the crying gradually became smaller.

"But the strong Orlan finally survived the disaster and is still fighting those bad guys."

"The girls around me you just saw are still fighting those bad guys until now. They are your companions."

Hearing Lin Lan's words, Shattered Sky slowly raised his head, as if he believed what he said.

At this time, Shattered Sky's delicate and cute face was covered with large tears. She asked in an unbelievable tone:

"Commander, are you talking about this, really..."

"Olan is still...they...are all my companions?"

And Lin Lan only saw at this time that the only blue eye left in the girl had almost half turned dark red.

Why did Shattered Sky meta so quickly? Were those meta ship girls like this before?

This thought flashed through Lin Lan's mind, but he didn't bother to think deeply.

Since his words were effective, it was time to strike while the iron was hot.

"You can scan that I am the commander, doesn't that prove that I didn't lie to you?"

"Before you came here, you should have seen the city and the citizens of Oran. If Oran was really destroyed, you should have only seen a ruin."

"Shattered Dome, believe me, Oran's future still needs you, and we all... also need you."

"You will never be alone again, I promise you."

Feeling that the space of the mirror sea around him had begun to tremble, Lin Lan knew that there was not much time left before the mirror sea collapsed completely.

If Shattered Dome really couldn't get out of meta, stabilize his emotions and leave here with him.

Then he... could only use the ancient Liaozhou props he made in his bag to save his life and escape, and he could no longer help Shattered Sky.

After all, as the commander of so many ship girls, if he really died here, it would be irresponsible to those ship girls who were still waiting for him to come back.

But even so, he would do his best to persuade this machine girl to leave this world that was about to collapse with him.
