Looking at the Governor who was full of energy just a moment ago but suddenly depressed, Akagi had no choice but to pull his head to her chest to comfort him. "Alright, Governor. Kaga is now seriously injured and unconscious. You need to pull yourself together; you can't let her fight for you in vain."
"Right! I understand. Kaga was injured because of me. I will definitely find a way to wake her up. And I will never let that Anchorage Princess off the hook," Kardan said firmly after calming down.
On a floating island named Insgard in the Atlantic Ocean, there was a castle. In the castle lived a beautiful girl with long pink hair, about 16 years old.
The pink-haired girl's name was Alice. She was the Atlantic Governor. Among the four Governor-Generals' Mansions, the Atlantic Governor Mansion's overall Ship Girl strength ranked second.
Alice was the fourth Ruler, the Sakura Flame Ruler. Her Ruler authority was Sakura Flame. Among the Rulers, the one with the strongest destructive power was her Sakura Flame. Rumor had it that Sakura Flame was a world-destroying fire; once touched, it could not be extinguished, and one could only be burned to death by it.
The floating island had a barrier at the level of a Legendary Ship Girl. Combined with being suspended in the sky, this meant that although the world outside the barrier was full of constant anomalies, no vibrations, gales, or lightning could be felt inside.
Alice, who was flipping through a history book from the bookshelf, suddenly noticed the world's anomaly. She rested her finger on her chin, and her divine sense began to probe the center of the anomaly. After figuring out the cause, a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Let those two fight! Fight! It would be best if they both died together. Without Shinano, the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion will also decline. At that time, my Atlantic Governor Mansion will become the world's number one Governor's Mansion."
Beneath the North Atlantic, there was a super-large mobile fortress named Eden Paradise. This was the North Atlantic Governor's Mansion. In a sea of colorful flowers, a beautiful girl with long silver hair was lying among the blossoms.
The Silver-Haired Girl was the Governor of the North Atlantic, and her name was Limo. She looked only fourteen years old.
Limo was the fifth Ruler, the Frost Ruler. Her Ruler authority was Frozen Hell. Once, when she used Frozen Hell, she froze a super-large Abyssal mobile fortress into a block of ice.
"Mother, by your command, I have already told Harbor Princess Shinano's location. Now the plan is proceeding perfectly. We Abyssals will surely wipe out humanity and become the true masters of the world," the pink-haired girl whispered to the sky.
Beneath Hawaii was the sacred land of the Deep Sea Cult. There was a grand hall in the sacred land, and a mysterious black-robed figure sat in the hall. The figure wore a sinister smiling mask, and their voice was mechanical, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female.
"Sacred Master! Everything has been arranged according to your plan. If there's nothing else, I shall take my leave."
"Very well, you may leave."
The black-robed figure gazed at the place where Shinano and Harbor Princess were fighting. He murmured in a low voice, "The seal is about to be broken. There isn't much time left. I must complete the plan as quickly as possible."
...Boom...
The Supreme Ship Qi of the two finally ended in a draw. Harbor Princess laughed and said, "As expected of the strongest Legendary Ship Girl, truly powerful. However, my techniques don't just end like this."
Shinano's state of mind was calm and unaffected by external influences. She said in a flat tone, "Harbor Princess, how did you find out where I live?"
"How did I find out? Naturally, one of the four Governors told me. It seems your Ship Girls aren't united; someone wants you dead!" Harbor Princess said quite straightforwardly.
"A traitor among the four Governors? Who is it?" A flash of surprise crossed Shinano's eyes, but it quickly vanished as she pressed Harbor Princess for an answer.
"You want to know? I'm just not going to tell you. Let's see what you can do to me," Harbor Princess said arrogantly.
Shinano said calmly, "If you don't speak, I will cut you down here."
"What? You want to kill me? Hee hee hee! Everyone who said that has been killed by me instead. The grass on their graves is already two meters high! If you can do it, then come at me!" Harbor Princess laughed in anger.
"You will regret it," Shinano said softly.
With Shinano repeatedly provoking her dignity, Harbor Princess could no longer tolerate her existence in this world for even another second. She intended to take her life with a single move.
"Shadow Devouring Dragon!"
A massive energy dragon, fifty zhang long, appeared in mid-air. The dragon was lifelike, majestic, and possessed an overwhelming aura. This was Harbor Princess's strongest technique. Once unleashed, it could swallow the heavens and devour the earth. Many Legendary Ship Girls who fought Harbor Princess had died tragically under this move. Without exception, no one had been able to break this technique until now.
With a solemn expression, Middle Princess gave a sharp cry and swung down fiercely toward Shinano, who was not far away.
The shout echoed through the sky as Harbor Princess slammed the fifty-zhang energy dragon toward Shinano. The energy dragon was terrifying; once unleashed, space vibrated, and it appeared extremely fierce against the azure sky.
Seeing the energy dragon coming at her with such ferocity, Shinano calmly said to Illustrious, "Illustrious, next I will teach you the ultimate secret technique of this style. I will only teach it once, so you must watch closely."
"Yes, Master!" Illustrious nodded seriously and focused all her attention on every one of Shinano's movements.
Shinano first placed her left hand on the scabbard and her right hand on the hilt, assuming a drawing stance. Then, she closed her eyes to perceive the enemy's killing intent. Upon closing her eyes, the flow of time around Shinano seemed to slow to a snail's pace. In the dark world, she was alone, her perception constantly concentrating.
After finding the enemy's killing intent, she found a core within that intent.
The hardest part of this ultimate technique is finding the core. Only those with talent can find it; it's not something that can be achieved through hard work alone. If you have no talent, you won't be able to use it even if you work hard your whole life.
A leaf slowly fell. Having found the core, Shinano quickly opened her eyes, and the leaf was instantly sliced in two by some sharp tool.
A flash of golden light flickered at the point of drawing, and she drew the blade with lightning speed.
"Momentary Final Slash!" Shinano whispered, her voice echoing through the sky.
Hundreds of kilometer-long golden sword marks remained in the sky. The energy dragon and Harbor Princess in mid-air were instantly cut into pieces.
Before disappearing in death, Harbor Princess looked on in disbelief. "I am the strongest Calamity Abyssal Entity; how could I lose? This must be fake..."
"How was it, disciple? Did you learn it?" As she sheathed her blade, she did so slowly. Shinano smiled calmly, as if she had just slaughtered a rooster with ease.
Illustrious's mouth hung open in shock, her eyes nearly popping out. What a cool and handsome strike! Coach, I will definitely learn this move.
The result was that Illustrious spent three years trying to learn it. Having failed to learn it then, she went directly to the Abyssal waters to find an Abyssal Princess to practice with, hoping to gain a sudden realization of the ultimate technique in battle.
