Observer's Fierce Reaction

"Honestly, these ship girls can't even keep an eye on their own Commander. They need us to step in and help them..."

On the azure sea, Observer was sailing with Tester, Builder, and Purifier.

"Helena META is really something, always bossing us around..."

As Observer led them forward, she complained about the port's ship girls and Helena META.

"Observer, your current sailing state is not safe!"

Builder warned Observer, who was facing them and complaining.

Observer's current state wasn't really moving forward, but rather backward.

"It's fine, I've infiltrated the port disguised as a ship girl so many times. I can pinpoint my location in these waters with my eyes closed, even without radar. Not to mention I have radar on right now!"

Sitting on her peculiar ship equipment, Observer waved her hand at Builder, who had kindly reminded her, indicating she didn't need to worry.

Builder nodded at this and said no more.

With Builder's interruption over, Observer continued to complain about the port and Helena META.

"Once this is over, I'm definitely lodging a protest with Helena META. Day in and day out, she's always assigning us all sorts of messy tasks. We need rest too..."

Observer grumbled, while Purifier occasionally nodded at Observer, agreeing with her complaints.

After complaining about the port and Helena, Observer started complaining about the Arbitration Agency, and Purifier would chime in occasionally. In short, with Observer and Purifier's mutual agreement, the journey was quite lively despite their small numbers.

This lively atmosphere should have continued until they reached the port; at least, that's what Observer thought.

But... unfortunately, for some reason, after chatting with her for a while, Purifier suddenly fell silent. Builder and Tester on the side also wore serious expressions.

"Huh? Purifier, why did you stop talking?"

"And you two, your expressions were so relaxed just now. Why are they so serious now? Worried about running into enemies?"

Observer tilted her head and tried to comfort them when she saw the other three become serious.

"Don't worry, we're already at the edge of the waters controlled by their port. We won't encounter any enemies!"

"With the strength of those ship girls in the port, even the Arbitration Agency would have to tread carefully! Don't worry!"

Observer looked at the three of them and became even more confused when she saw their expressions grow more serious after she mentioned the Arbitration Agency.

"You're not worried that the Arbitration Agency might show up, are you?"

Observer waved her hand as if she had thought of something amusing.

"Heh, don't worry, the Arbitration Agency won't come! Helena META is acting as an intermediary, and we're here to help, so they won't do anything to us."

"As for the Arbitration Agency... heh, 'Commander' hasn't been found yet, and the ship girls in the port... tsk, at this critical moment, if the Arbitration Agency were to arrive..."

Just as Observer was about to share her deductions, her words were interrupted by another voice.

"What would happen if the Arbitration Agency arrived?"

"Arbitration..."

Observer initially thought Builder had become interested and asked, but as she opened her mouth to answer, she suddenly realized that the voice was different from Builder's.

Her body stiffened slightly. Looking at Purifier, who was not far from her and facing her, Observer pursed her lips.

"Purifier, don't mess with your voice, it's creepy!"

"I didn't!"

Purifier immediately replied.

"Then it must be Bu..."

"It wasn't me! Nor was it Tester!"

"Hahaha, how could that be? Builder, you're joking. There are clearly only the four of us here..."

Observer's body stiffened even further. She had clearly thought of something but dared not turn around.

"Four of you?"

The sudden voice spoke again, with a hint of something else in its tone.

"Eek!!!!"

Confirming the voice came from behind her, Observer shuddered, let out a loud cry, and immediately activated her ship equipment, turning around and aiming her cannon at the person who had spoken.

Turning around, Observer clearly saw who had arrived.

"Arbitrator Empress!"

"It's me, the Experimental Agency... No, you've defected! Observer!"

Ignoring the cannons aimed at her by Observer and the other three from the Experimental Agency, Empress smiled and looked at Observer.

"Are you here to eliminate us?"

Observer was panicking internally but forced herself to remain calm, looking at Empress. At the same time, she began trying to contact Helena META.

But unfortunately... the communication, which should have been smooth, was completely unable to reach Helena META.

It was clear that Empress had intentionally cut off their communication when she arrived!

Empress looked at Observer, who was trying hard to appear calm, and her smile widened.

"Clean you up? Heh, do I really need to come here myself to clean up the four of you?"

Empress let out a scoff. Helena META had disconnected Observer and the others from the natural evolution calculation system, and Helena META had even blown up their previous mainframes.

Although they were now free from the Sirens, if Empress wanted to, she could easily overwrite their personalities and turn them into puppets.

To truly eliminate the four of them, she wouldn't need to go through all this trouble herself!

It wasn't that Zero... it was that when she learned Empress was going to use the Experimental Agency to deliver the data to the port.

She asked Empress to pay attention to the safety of the Experimental Agency, in case anything happened to it and the data wasn't delivered to the port.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come!

What Observer had just complained about was absolutely true. These ship girls who hadn't found their Commander were like gunpowder kegs; a single spark would set them off!

"Then... why are you here...?"

Empress didn't waste words with Observer. Before Observer and the others could react, the relevant data was packaged and transmitted to them.

"This is?!!!"

Observer vaguely flipped through the newly added data in her databanks. It contained information on new weapons, precautions for space travel, and even data on building space battleships. However, the data wasn't extensive or complete, and some of it was even speculative.

It didn't take long for Observer and the others to receive this data.

After the data transmission was completely finished, Observer blinked her large eyes and looked at Empress, a little timidly.

"Lady Empress, how did you directly connect to our..."

Being invaded without warning and having so much data directly transmitted to them, Observer couldn't help but be afraid. This meant Empress had the ability to easily invade their mainframes and delete their own data...

"Your previous mainframes were indeed destroyed, and your new mainframes are not part of the Antix system... but that doesn't mean I can't connect to your mainframes... After all... who told you to connect to [Tower] after disconnecting from your old mainframes?"

The smile on Empress's lips grew more pronounced.

She hadn't been in a good mood when she came here initially, as she had to be cautious.

But seeing the four little ones being so cautious in front of her, Empress's mood improved greatly!

"Then... why did you give us this data..."

"To help those ship girls find their 'Commander'! Can't you tell?"

"Why would Dreamweaver..."

"You don't know how attractive the 'Commander' is?"

Observer was momentarily speechless by Empress's retort. This was something she had once teased Su Luo with...

Empress didn't scare them anymore. Once the data transmission was complete, she left!

The relationship between the Arbitration Agency and the port... wasn't bad, nor was it good.

Therefore, it was better for her not to linger here.

She had followed the Experimental Agency all the way, and now they had reached safe waters, so it was time for her to leave!

Watching Empress, who had already departed, Observer let out a sigh of relief.

"The Arbitration Agency is so elusive. I really thought we were going to have a fight with Empress just now!"

Thinking of that possibility, Observer shook her head vigorously.

"Us fighting the Arbitration Agency? Tsk..."

With a sigh, Observer honestly turned around, no longer walking with her back to the road, and spoke much less.

She had clearly been traumatized by Empress!

Within the port, Helena META's eyes flickered as she sensed the temporary disconnection of communication with the Experimental Agency.

"Observer Zero, are you impatient too?"

Helena META shook her head.

Then, her expression returned to normal, and she continued her research with Lala and the others.

(Regarding the data on building space battleships that Observer Zero was supposed to send, the Alpha World definitely has it. After all, their sea ships are all airborne, so building one that can go into space isn't strange.

However, whether the Alpha World's space battleships are strong or not is unknown, as they haven't shown much.)
