Holding the Ship-Slaying Longsword high, countless golden Aura continuously condensed on the blade.
The blade erupted with an incomparably blinding light, like a brilliant sun that made it impossible to look at directly.
"Sky-Piercing Slash!"
At a certain moment, the space around Atago instantly froze. After aiming at the library's location, she slashed down fiercely.
An energy crescent blade, a full four zhang in size, shot out from the sword.
The speed of this crescent blade was terrifyingly fast, creating a series of sonic booms as it passed.
When the crescent blade was halfway to its destination, a Blue-haired Maiden appeared. She clenched her fist and swung it out.
"Boom!"
The terrifyingly powerful crescent blade was instantly shattered by a single punch from the Blue-haired Maiden.
After shattering the crescent blade, the Blue-haired Maiden flashed to appear before Atago and swung her fist down heavily at her.
"Clang!"
What a heavy fist! Atago was sent flying back a dozen steps by the punch.
"My name is New Jersey, a Battleship of the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion. Pleased to meet you." New Jersey said calmly, taking a combat stance. "As long as I am here, don't even think about destroying the library."
Stabilizing herself in the air and realizing the girl who suddenly appeared had the strength of a Legendary Ship Girl, Atago frowned. "The Pacific Governor-General's Mansion only has two registered Legendary Ship Girls, one is Enterprise and the other is Shinano. I've never heard of a Legendary Ship Girl named New Jersey!"
New Jersey gave a cold laugh. "Idiot! How could the true number of Ship Girls in the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion be something outsiders can find out just by checking?"
"Hmph! I don't care if you're a Legendary Ship Girl of the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion or not. Anyone who blocks our Deep Sea Cult will only meet a dead end." Atago swung her Ship-Slaying Longsword forcefully, and a blast of sword qi shot out.
Seeing the sword qi coming, New Jersey's expression didn't change. She swung her fist with force, and the sword qi was instantly broken.
While New Jersey was breaking the sword qi, Atago had already closed in and swung a diagonal slash.
Looking indifferently at the incoming Tachi slash, New Jersey's fist suddenly erupted with golden light, and she swung it out with force.
"Boom!"
The blade and fist collided heavily. A low sonic boom rang out from the point of contact, and an energy shockwave that shook the space surged out, eventually spreading in all directions.
After exchanging a blow, the two immediately separated, only to close in and clash again.
Atago and New Jersey were evenly matched. They continued to fight in mid-air, and for a time, this space was filled with countless flashes of blades and shadows... In the underground research facility, Lexington was guarding the eisnor great diamond.
Lexington clasped her hands in prayer, hoping in her heart that the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion would be safe this time.
"Lexington! You've worked hard! Why don't you come have a cup of tea with me and rest before continuing your guard duty?" The research facility director, Oz, said with a kind face.
"No need, I'm not thirsty," Lexington said softly. "The eisnor great diamond is very important to our Pacific Governor-General's Mansion, so I must stay here to guard it against anyone who might try to steal it."
Oz said with a hint of regret, "I see! Then call me if you need anything!"
"Alright! I'll count on you then." Lexington returned her Gaze to the eisnor great diamond.
Oz took two steps and stopped. After realizing Lexington wasn't looking at him, he immediately pulled out a salted fish.
This salted fish was named the Invincible Salted Fish. It was a single-use, Hundred-Sight Class ship device. Although it could only be used once, its destructive power was significant, capable of knocking out a Five-Star Epic Ship Girl in one blow.
Aiming at Lexington's head, Oz immediately swung it with force.
"Clang!"
After taking a hit from Oz's salted fish, Lexington's eyes closed as she lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
The salted fish in his hand vanished into thin air. Oz murmured softly, "I'm sorry, Lexington! To reunite with my elder sister, I have no choice but to do this."
Looking at the eisnor great diamond before him, Oz placed his left hand on the diamond and took out a Single-use Thousand-Mile Teleportation Bead with his right hand. "The Five-Star Legendary Barrier is broken. Now no one can stop me from leaving with the eisnor great diamond."
After setting the teleportation coordinates to the Deep Sea Cult Holy Land, Oz immediately crushed the teleportation bead.
As the teleportation bead was crushed, a burst of golden light erupted rapidly.
After enveloping Oz and the eisnor great diamond he was touching, the golden light immediately teleported them away from the underground research facility... While fighting Lilith, the Bluetooth earpiece in Takao's ear received word that Oz had already teleported the eisnor great diamond back to the Holy Land. She immediately shouted to Eugen and Atago, "Stop fighting, retreat!"
Upon hearing Takao's words, Eugen and Atago immediately ceased combat with their opponents and moved toward Takao.
"Thinking of escaping? Have you asked me first?" Lilith barked coldly, seeing Takao trying to slip away.
"Lilith! While we can't defeat you instantly, if we want to leave, you can't stop us." Takao gently raised her right hand, and a black light orb condensed instantly.
"Flying Immortal from the Heavens!"
A massive meteorite, twenty kilometers in diameter, descended from the sky, falling toward the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion like a bolt of lightning.
The huge meteorite streaked across the sky with flames. Its destructive power left Lilith and the others in shock.
Given the meteorite's size and falling speed, if it wasn't successfully stopped, the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion would become history.
"Instead of attacking us, you'd better deal with that huge meteorite first! Hahaha..." Takao led Eugen and Atago away, turning into streaks of light.
Watching the enemies leave helplessly, Lilith gritted her teeth. "Damn it! Remember this, I won't let this debt go unsettled."
"Enterprise, New Jersey, come with me to stop that meteorite. We can't let it destroy our Governor-General's Mansion."
Enterprise and New Jersey said in unison, "Yes, Governor-General!"
Predicting the meteorite's landing position, the three of them—Lilith and the others—immediately erupted with powerful momentum. For a moment, the space around them was distorted by their immense power.
The meteorite streaked through the sky under the Gaze of Lilith's trio, eventually colliding with them.
"Boom!"
The moment Lilith's trio touched the meteorite, they were instantly struck by its powerful impact and coughed up blood.
The meteorite did not stop due to their interference; instead, it continued falling toward the Pacific Governor-General's Mansion.
New Jersey shouted, "Governor-General! What do we do? If this continues, our Governor-General's Mansion will be gone!"
Enterprise said angrily, "This is all the Deep Sea Cult's fault. If we survive this calamity, we must have our revenge."
Lilith shouted loudly, "Even if we die, we must hold it back! There are countless lives below. If this meteorite falls, they're finished!"
Under the desperate efforts of Lilith's trio, the meteorite's speed was halved, but it was still falling toward the ground.
