Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1424: The Ancestral Cube

"It's really interesting. Since when did I start dreaming too..."

Under a scarlet sky, stands the Astrology Tower, the main tower of the School of Spells.

A girl with black hair, black skirt, gray skin, and golden and red heterochromatic eyes sat on a huge silver-gray mechanical ship suit and slowly opened her eyes.

Dibel muttered to himself, looking behind him.

White spots of light flickered all over the astronomical platform like stars in the sky.

This is the soul power formed by the souls of nearly a thousand mages from the school of spellcasting.

At this time, all the wizards and experimental beasts in the entire school of spellcasting, whether they were legendary wizards or apprentices, all living beings had their souls extracted by her.

However, compared to the unscrupulous means he used in Liaozhou, Dibelu did not intend to completely crush these souls this time.

"If it's that person, he will definitely be angry when he sees me doing this, so I'll spare your lives."

By controlling the magical devices developed by the School of Conjuration, she simply drained away most of the soul power of these wizards.

The bodies of these mages and other living beings were sent to the mirror space in advance by agents she arranged for.

Although he would definitely have to lie down for several months to recover, Di Bello thought that he had acted with conscience this time.

"However, the world wall is on the verge of breaking, and all the experimental materials that have had most of their soul power drained away should be able to survive until the ritual is completed and return to the experimental field.

"Heh, it's just that they are unlucky. Anyway, I didn't kill them directly."

Dibel shrugged as if in self-mockery and snapped his fingers.

As Anticus controlled the battle, a large amount of dark red mist poured out from the red chimney on the back of her ship, carrying the soul power into the sky.

"According to calculations, it's almost time for Lavos to gather the spare souls for the experiment."

Dibel floated up from the ship suit, his golden-red eyes emitting a charming luster, and he opened his arms.

As the girl silently chanted the dimensional-upgrading spell that could only be cast by meta-ship girls with collective will, the entire isolated space began to vibrate with the girl's tone.

The scarlet sky was covered with cracks, and the walls of the otherworld's main world and the subspace were unable to withstand such great power and were on the verge of breaking.

"Please let me be willful one last time. I really don't want to go through the same thing again where I didn't recognize you even though you were right in front of me, and I put you in danger countless times."

As the "devil" girl, who was caught in the black and red meta energy wave, showed a resolute smile on her face, a dark red cube phantom filled with strong negative emotions slowly lit up on Dibel's chest.

It is constantly converging towards materialization, but it seems that even the laws of the world are unwilling to accept its existence.

Even with the spatial stabilization technology supported by the arbitration agency, this isolated space was still distorted and shattered by the meta energy it emitted, which was so surging that it seemed to be real.

Finally, as a look of pain appeared on Dibel's face, the dark red cube that had always been the origin of her body separated from her.

The missing ancestral cube from the primordial world, which was defined as the key to the higher dimension and was called a conceptual weapon by Antiks along with the Laplace demon, suddenly appeared in the world.

"Nothing can be more suitable to summon you here."

Dibel's face looked extremely weak at this moment, and even the luster in his pupils became flickering, as if it would break down at any time due to lack of energy.

Looking at the Meta-Cube that appeared in front of her and caused the surrounding space to continue to shatter, the black-haired demon girl showed a gentle smile on her face that she had not shown since the destruction of the original world.

"After all, this is Pandora that you entrusted to me, and only a demon like me is qualified to keep it."

Seeing that the unstable Meta Cube was about to melt, Dibel raised his hand and used the remaining strength in his body to control the red meta mist, absorbing the soul power and wrapping the Meta Cube.

Under the coverage of the soul power and meta energy of these mages, the originally unstable Meta Cube gradually calmed down.

But even so, the vast meta energy within the Meta Cube continued to try to leak out, dissolving into the soul power of the mages that had merged with the mist.

That's right.

From the beginning to the end, she only used the soul power as fuel to temporarily stabilize the Meta Cube.

The real medium is actually the real mind core in her body. "How stupid! It was clearly humans who killed Richard, but you still want to save humans...

"I've long seen that you don't belong to our dimension... That's why I took the initiative to accept your request at that time, and then again and again...

"I want to find you in your world."

At this time, Dibelu was completely exhausted and fell to the ground on the platform.

The surrounding space continued to shatter, but the black-haired Arbitration Agency girl who had lost her energy source gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit up.

The red part of her eye had completely dimmed, while the golden part still maintained a faint luster.

"Boom..."

There was a dull vibration in the isolated space, but Dibelu had no time to mobilize other systems to analyze the cause.

She had one last thing to do.

That is to activate the super-level magic of the SN Experimental Field School of Conjuration that she had modified and summon that person.

Crawling up from the shaky ground of the astrological platform, Dibel walked unsteadily but firmly towards the bottom of the Ancestral Cube.

As Anticus, she had no magic power, but she was able to use the magic power contained in the soul power under her control to directly activate this super-level magic that should have required chanting.

As the orange torrent of spell magic power came from all directions and formed a huge magic circle according to magic patterns, Dibelu finally reached the center of the magic circle before his body's energy was exhausted.

Above the sky, the boiling lava in the scarlet subspace has penetrated the cracks in the world wall and is falling continuously.

The mirror isolates the space, but it cannot prevent the collapse of the world wall.

The slender girl in a black dress, Antix, looked up at the floating Meta-Cube, smiled, and raised her hand.

It's like a demon from the abyss who is in hell and longs for salvation.

"Lavos and my 'backup' will protect you for me. I... just hope to see you again..."

Tears slid down Dibelu's face, and at this moment, she had reached the countdown of her life.

The purpose of this isolated and blocked space is to prevent the powerful energy of the Meta-Cube from attracting Class V threat pollution sources.

Naturally, her management machine was destroyed in this signal-isolated space, and when she woke up again in the host tower, she would lose all her memory data.

Is she still herself when she was like that?
Dibelu didn't want to think any more. Thinking would consume the energy of the Rubik's Cube which had already been exhausted.

Confession, desire, sadness, expectation...

Dibel's mental system no longer knew what expression he should show at this moment.

But while she was waiting for the magic to start, the following words that man had said to her suddenly flashed through her mind:

“When you don’t know what expression to make, just smile. This way you will be more approachable.”

……

"Smile... Am I smiling right now?

"The Judge always says that I am a demon disguised with a fake smile, but only in front of you can I truly smile...

"According to Steliancus, he seems to still be suffering from amnesia.

"When I lose my memory and I lose my memory, it seems like we'll be a good match...?!"

Just as Dibel was quietly watching the Meta Cube being surrounded by spell magic, waiting for the man to appear again.

Suddenly, the Meta-Cube, which was exposed to the magic power of the spell, seemed to be stimulated and quickly began to disintegrate from the inside.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Meta-Cube that had originally materialized turned back into a phantom, as if it was about to disappear from this dimension.
