Chương 40: Chapter 38 - Underwater Retrofit
My body screamed silently when reality appeared before my eyes.
When my monitor screen displayed a contact signature containing a line of Seawolf-class submarines, it made me smile silently.
A Quest that had played with a fake identity now required me to act as an individual who would lead a line of Seawolf submarines that were moving toward the Azur Lane military base.
"Hunting together with the Seawolf Pack formation, huh?" I muttered softly while wiping the cold sweat that had unconsciously come out.
I accidentally looked at Sofia and Jimmy Carter who were waiting for my orders.
Several unknown contact continued to appear in my passive sonar system. Seeing the increasing number of them made it uncomfortable to determine their status as allies or enemies.
My Wisdom Cube which continued to work hard was now struggling until its rotation became unstable and almost shattered into pieces.
The battle I was going through was now facing a dead end where the siren submarine technology was very difficult to reach by my submarine's sonar capabilities. It looked like they were using a skill to cover the body of the siren submarine.
"Hmm, skill?" I unconsciously muttered about it and bit my tongue in my mouth.
"How could I forget the five skills I got?" I said while stopping my Wisdom Cube which was starting to show visible cracks.
"I don't know if this will change the course of the battle or not, at least I have to try using it."
The decision was made and I immediately clenched my fists to prepare to launch the skill that was once given to me when I dived into the world of Azur Lane.
My consciousness suddenly moved from my humanoid body to my submarine body, like connecting a cable that matched the type of port. The merging of the two consciousnesses created a shockwave between my humanoid body and my submarine body.
The Wisdom Cube now vibrated, emitting a terrifying black light.
"Running Abyss Walker Skill!" I said while directing my main consciousness to the main system of my submarine.
The leading edge of my submarine connected to the sonar hardware suddenly felt hot and emitted a small vibration that ignored the water pressure in the depths of the sea.
[ The Abyss Walker skill has been activated! ]
I Feels a big change from the effect of the skill, my submarine monitor which was focused on the sonar section suddenly had a wide observation area of 800 kilometers.
All contacts that had not been seen were now completely within the range of my submarine's sonar. Only waiting time to detect their identities as allies or enemies through the ship's signature.
My body suddenly felt very heavy as the workload of the sonar hardware was channeled to my body's consciousness.
"Running the All Seeing Eyes skill!" My words this time managed to add a crack in my Wisdom Cube which revealed a small black core.
Unbearable pain now penetrated my consciousness like a headache that attacked non-stop. My view was now diverted to a basic condition outside my submarine that could observe conditions in the sea to outside the sea like controlling a video game that used a third-person perspective.
[ All Seeing Eyes skill has been activated! ]
"Is this a skill that can see the conditions outside my submarine like the noclip feature that can penetrate map boundaries?"
"Isn't this too much to get out of my two consciousnesses that are divided from each other?"
Far from the range of my submarine's radar was covered by the ocean's depth layer, I could feel the contact of the sea surface that detected the presence of the Eagle Union's attack fleet.
Their fleet seemed to be moving while escorting an aircraft carrier that was parking a Catalina aircraft with a load of depth charges. It seemed that they wanted to hunt the siren submarine that had destroyed the Eagle Union's command room.
Several aircraft carriers had flown reconnaissance aircraft that flew in three different wind directions.
When my submarine's main system managed to detect the contact that was getting closer to my submarine. I could feel a small sonar contact that was a characteristic of the submarine identity recognition used by the Eagle Union, especially as fellow Seawolf-class programs.
By adjusting the position of the sonar that received low sound waves, I adjusted the sonar waves until they were connected to the communication network between Seawolf submarines.
"Holy Shit, I can't believe all my sister submarines arrived at the same time. How's your days, submarine hull number 63?"
"I'm fine, only one torpedo tube was clogged when attacking at a depth of four hundred meters. How's about your days, submarine hull number 69?"
"No damage and same as usual. I'm just trying the tips given by our Flagship who seems very relaxed when hunting sirens and returning to base on time. I even waited for some of our sister submarines to return to base and retire."
"Retire? Is it true that Eagle Union is going to stop this successful program? Putting aside our war-crazed submarine brothers, I'm pretty sure they'll reject the offer to stop the Seawolf program."
"Oh, about that? Don't worry. There's only one male submarine left. I'm aware of the latest developments from the surviving Seawolf program remnants and you can probably guess who will survive when all the male submarines are KIA."
"Ugh, it must be our Flagship, right?"
"Bingo."
"If he hears this communication network, you will be in big trouble, submarine hull number 69."
"Don't worry, even though he has submarine technology that is his creation. He can't possibly hear our communication that is close to each other like this. But I must admit that his submarine's silent technique sometimes surprises me when he sneaks up on my submarine for three days and three nights and I don't realize it all that time."
"That's why he became our Flagship."
"For sure, I will apply for overtime pay compensation when I retire later."
"I agree with that!"
"Yes, I agree!"
"Let's put in our overtime pay compensation money."
"Raise our overtime pay as forced laborers from the corrupt Eagle Union!"
"Yeeey~ time for treason!"
"Let's treason…"
"Long live treason!"
"LONG LIVE TREASON!!"
When all my skills were used simultaneously, I accidentally heard a strange conversation from my submarine sisters that I couldn't comment on. This seemingly real situation occurred when this strange Quest gave me an identity as an experimental subject of the Eagle Union developed the Seawolf submarine program.
As a child raised by the Eagle Union secret orphanage, we didn't seem to have the freedom to refuse the offer given as a user of the Seawolf program.
This fake identity that was getting closer to reality made me laugh and see the real power of a Quest that could change the conditions of the Azur Lane world.
At first, I was just a human who died in a drowning condition in a war zone and was reborn as a Seawolf submarine bound to the Seawolf program.
The quest that was given also led me to return to the Azur Lane main military base and gave me an identity mission to deceive my old fake friend who was once the caretaker of the Eagle Union secret orphanage.
However, that made the fake situation given by the Quest became a reality that I couldn't completely avoid.
Seeing a group of orphanage children who became the Seawolf program made me want to join in their discussion to stage a coup against the Eagle Union.
That would be very difficult and would require a lot of money.
Humans and shipgirls should have a harmonious bond that helps each other.
But, what about us who were created as Seawolf programs that imitate the form of shipgirls?
There was only one way to answer that.
Rather than doing an imitation.
How about imitating the imitation into a real product?
"Running Skill Weapons From Another World!"
Responding to my words, I could feel a heavy pressure strong enough to destroy my consciousness. But I forced my consciousness to stay connected to my humanoid body and my submarine body.
My wide field of vision could now see the entirety of the remaining Seawolf submarines. Out of the hundred Seawolf programs that were developed, it seemed that only 41 submarines were still surviving in seaworthy conditions.
The shape of their submarines was very strange and I didn't like it.
For that, I immediately changed the shape of their submarine into the shape of a Seawolf submarine like mine. The pressure given by this skill was very heavy and almost threw my consciousness into a thin pool that was slowly sinking.
When one by one their submarine bodies turned into clones of my submarine.
I immediately entered their sonar communication channel and said encouraging words like, "Let's commit treason together, my submarine sisters."
Deep in the depths of the ocean, pressed by water pressure, I forced their submarine to be transformed into a Seawolf submarine armed with modern equipment.
