Free Web NovelChapter 928: Chapter 538: The Watchful Shipgirls
Others might still have a chance to find their lost shipgirls, but for me, it’s like we’re in separate worlds, completely losing the opportunity to make amends.
Wait a minute!
Shen Sui suddenly remembered a setting from this game. Although it only appeared in snippets during character cutscenes, it nonetheless existed as a foundational game setting.
The lifespan of a shipgirl’s body isn’t much different from that of an ordinary person, but once they equip their Ship Armor, their souls become eternal.
After a shipgirl dies, her soul enters her Ship Armor in slumber. The next inheritor will inherit not only the Ship Armor but also their combat experience.
This setting is the foundation for the existence of many inherited ships and IF line shipgirls in the game.
The Yamato that bombarded California, the Prince of Wales that deterred Japan, and the Hood that punished Bismarck... Though these IF line shipgirls exist only in event storylines, they vividly demonstrate the set immortality of shipgirl souls. After being sunk in the storyline, they were revived from their own Ship Armor and arrived at the IF world line.
Shen Sui finally understood what Vivian had been doing during the time after they had reunited and she left.
With Vivian’s abilities, reviving the souls of deceased shipgirls from the Ship Armor was not a difficult task.
Thinking of this, Shen Sui immediately stood up, his movement jostling Isabella on his shoulder, but fortunately, Shen Sui reacted swiftly and caught Isabella steadily as she fell.
Isabella rubbed her eyes in confusion: "What’s going on... Claude."
Shen Sui placed Isabella on the pillow, smiling as he said, "You continue sleeping, I’m going to find Vivian for a bit."
Isabella seemed a bit displeased, mumbling with a pout: "You always think about finding Vivian... What do I lack compared to her... I can be big or small..."
Shen Sui chuckled and poked Isabella’s face, telling her not to let her imagination run wild.
Vivian was still in her room researching the buffer zone’s array when she seemed to sense Shen Sui’s presence and stopped what she was doing.
"So... how are they?"
Vivian swirled the prepared potion in her hand, her long red hair looking alluring and gentle under the light: "I’ve already awakened the majority of them."
"The majority..."
"Yes, except for Enterprise." Vivian sighed, saying, "After the Azure Federation was established, she insisted on going to sea to continue searching for your whereabouts, and ultimately disappeared into the sea."
"Couldn’t you find her either?"
"I found some clues," Vivian said. "It seems she has somehow established a connection with other worlds. I found her Ship Armor on a deserted island, and through the connection with the Ship Armor, confirmed that she is at least still alive. Moreover, the energy reaction of her soul has become exceptionally strong."
"Other worlds." Shen Sui pondered.
"Yes." Vivian nodded, "Previously, she was just an unremarkable Legendary Ship, but now judging by the soul reaction I sense, she could destroy a planet with a single shot. She must have evolved in a similar world. But exactly where, that’s up to you. In fact, you should know these Soul Card Worlds better than I do."
"Got it." Shen Sui had already narrowed down a few possible choices in his mind, all of which involved operating massive starships battling in space. The intelligent AIs of these starships were indeed similar to the existence of shipgirls.
After pausing, Shen Sui looked at Vivian’s delicate profile and couldn’t help but say, "Thank you."
"Instead of thanking me..." Vivian turned her head, her red eyes gazing at Shen Sui, "Think about how you’re going to apologize to them."
