Chapter 692: Chapter 595: Ship Spirit and Legendary Battleship Skill (4000 Words)_2

"Turn around, find the next target, we still have many tests left."

Aside from the [Hurricane Missile], the rest of the weapon systems on board are essentially old wine in new bottles, with relatively mature technical reserves long established, only undergo shipborne modifications.

[Front/Back Missile Launching Well], [Super Electromagnetic Cannon: Shipborne Improved Type], [Beam Weapon: Red-haired Witch], [Tower Integration: Wizard Tower], [Shield Generator: World Barrier]...

Any of these technologies alone could almost create a Quasi-Legendary Battleship.

Especially another main battle weapon already connected to the ship’s overall energy system: rotating main turret*1, rotating secondary turrets*2.

With the tower as the boundary, the foredeck’s front end houses the twin main turrets with a single barrel caliber of 130mm, barrel length of 9.2 meters; the aft deck’s back end symmetrically houses two twin secondary turrets with a single barrel caliber of 76mm, barrel length of 5.3 meters.

The black cannon barrel, appearing vertically oval-shaped, is surrounded by rings of golden external magnets, exuding a high-tech aesthetic.

Because the barrel of a coilgun mostly combines an internal guide tube with external acceleration coils, the barrel material requirements aren’t very high, and wood or ceramics can be used. Aiven straightforwardly used "Treasure Tree" for the barrel, with a pure silver power supply rail inside.

However, due to energy and technological limitations, the current main cannon’s firing rate is three rounds per minute, increasing shell mass, with an initial velocity five times the speed of sound, a maximum range of 100 kilometers, but by selecting the proper angle, one shot is sufficient to scrap a Level 1 Battleship.

The secondary turret’s power and rate of fire can be adjusted, with the conventional setting allowing a single barrel to achieve a firing rate of ten rounds per minute at three times the speed of sound, accurately hitting targets within ten kilometers.

Against large targets, the dual-turret four-barrel system is enough to form sustained firepower suppression, along with the [Red-haired Witch] serving as a close defense beam cannon. Even though the battleship hasn’t yet completed its transformation, Aiven dares to challenge an average Sea God’s Son.

He doesn’t want to add more turrets, but the greatest restriction remains energy supply.

Moreover, using the simply constructed "electromagnetic cannon" instead of "alchemy fire cannon" can minimize logistical pressure and improve endurance. After all, in the ultimate goal of the "Endless Ocean," no one can say for certain what the environment holds. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In the following days.

They encountered true giant species deep within the mysterious Black Sea, endured a super storm, escaped water tornadoes and the Great Vortex... Eventually, without danger, this battleship successfully endured the test.

During this period, each module of the entire ship underwent systematic testing, and respective adjustments were made for discovered issues. On a sunny day, Aiven formally declared the battleship passed acceptance for the entire ship!

From then on.

The battleship finally received its official name [Crown of Miracles], matching the secondary Extraordinary Origin of the "Vitalist School," a name set during Aiven’s initial design, reflecting its high expectations.

No return to the New Continent was made; instead, directly entered the Black Sea’s depths, taking along the [Witchcraft Garden].

Even the return time of a few days was too long for Aiven, eager to bestow the title "Legendary" upon this creation into which he poured immense efforts!

The critical marker is the "Extraordinary Transformation," awakening a distinct independent ship spirit, becoming in some sense an Otherworldly Being.

Upon the battleship’s "Extraordinary Transformation" completion, it will, like many exceptionally gifted human wizards upon promotion, awaken its own [Legendary Battleship Skill].

Every [Legendary Battleship Skill] possesses exceptional, mind-blowing strength, underpinning the origin of "Legendary." What capabilities every "Legendary battleship" holds is top secret across all nations.

Only the overlord Hilus publicly divulged that one of its [Legendary Battleship: Divine Grace’s] [Legendary Battleship Skill: Valkyrie]: within a thirty-kilometer radius around the battleship, it grants a female Great Knight combat power equivalent to a Tier 4 Title, adding an unexpected Kingdom Guardian to Hilus.

As for why such miraculous transformations occur, the specifics remain unknown, like the existence of the "Ocean Treasure," it is altogether mysterious, but undoubtedly related to the world’s mysterious root source.

Additionally.

During the ability awakening, the situation splits into two categories, either random awakening or directed guidance.

At this point, Aiven, unwilling to rely on luck, unhesitatingly chose the latter, having long since coveted a certain ability, even planning for it long ago.

"You’ve already achieved this level?!"

Nymph followed behind Aiven, Olivia, and Angie, entering the lower cabins of the "Crown of Miracles," exclaiming upon seeing the object already placed at the center.

At the core of the three-dimensional witchcraft orbit in the cabin was a transparent hexagonal crystal pillar, 32 centimeters high: an enormous emerald.

Weighing roughly 11,000 carats, about 2.3 kilograms, the splendid extraordinary spiritual light in spiritual vision was nearly blinding.

Nymph’s breathing instantly became heavy, her eyes almost shooting out light, slyly casting a sidelong glance at her daughter nearby:

’Such a heartless child, creating such a grand treasure without presenting it to her mother. Even if it were smaller by a ring, even just two rings would do.’

Understanding the meaning behind that glance, Olivia held her hand, smiling brightly, and coquettishly said:

"Mom, help Aiven with this task first. As the Gem Shell gradually grows, later on, there’ll be three-kilogram emeralds, four-kilogram, five-kilogram emeralds, whichever you want will be yours."

Nymph fell silent, having to admit her daughter was right. Why long for a bicycle when tethered to a precious son-in-law?

’Hesi, my daughter, hearing you describe gemstones in kilograms rather than carats makes me... truly proud!’

Afterward.

Upon Aiven’s indication, standing ready in the midst of the orbit, Nymph stepped forward, gently pointed at the emerald, invoking a unique ability.

[Lifebound Gem: Emerald Dream Tour]

As the entire battleship gradually faded, beginning to separate from the material world.

Aiven raised both hands high, speaking lively incantations:

act—

[Living Ship Spirit Technique]

Whoo—!

An endless spiritual wind suddenly descended, through the orbit’s guidance, penetrating the entire battleship as though intangible.

Weapon systems, fire control systems, mobile wizard tower systems, propulsion systems, navigation systems, ammunition supply systems, energy supply systems, internal ecosystem systems... Countless components resonated.

Ten minutes later, accompanied by faint bell chimes, a joyous emotion suddenly transmitted to everyone’s minds from every part of the ship’s structure, marking the first completion of the battleship’s extraordinary transformation!

[Legendary Battleship Skill: Dream Cruise] was simultaneously consolidated.

Effect: Shatters the barrier between the dream realm and the material world, allowing effortless material form traversal. Even enabling ultra-long-distance teleportation via the Spirit Realm to achieve long-range troop deployment.

But it was not over.

Centered at this place, a massive "Life Tree" phantom rooted in every part of the battleship shot up to the sky, then instantly vanished, leaving only a verdant fruit slowly descending.

In front of the four people, a flash of green light appeared.

A slightly translucent, black-haired, black-eyed tall female knight clad in battleship armor-like polygonal armor suddenly appeared before Aiven, kneeling on one knee like a loyal knight before a lord:

"Are you... my Master?"

Seeing this valiant and spirited black-haired female knight, Aiven was uncertain how to express himself:

"Is this a ship spirit? This is more like a ship girl! Is it the ’Vitalist School’ inheritance causing such a mutation in the ship spirit with me?"

Yet before even the hint of joy on his face could emerge, Aiven suddenly felt a chill behind his neck:

"Hiss! Killing intent!"
