Chapter 1637 Antagonism
Chapter 1637 Antagonism
Although it is in an unfamiliar place, because Yang Sikang’s Bermuda Islands were built based on a complete replica of the Somers Institute for Marine Fisheries, the basic structure inside is exactly the same.
Yang Sikang followed the two men while chatting with them and came to a lounge. When he opened the door, he saw Bismarck and Frederick sitting at the table drinking coffee.
However, compared to the two people he brought in, Yang Sikang paid more attention to the two people who accompanied them.
One of them was within the scope of Yang Sikang's mental preparation. After all, this was Aosta's home court, and when Angel appeared here, it was no surprise that she was here.
"I don't think I need to introduce this to you. It's the light cruiser Helena, but it's not the one you know."
Helena turned around when she heard Angel's voice and her eyes fell on Yang Sikang.
Yang Sikang keenly sensed a special force sweeping across his body. Although it was very hidden, it was still very obvious to him because of the abnormal energy intensity of the Mind Cube.
"Hello, Helena."
Yang Sikang greeted Helena with a smile, but compared to Helena from this meta-world, he was more concerned about the harmless-looking guy next to him.
Although she didn't unfold her ship suit and was in human form, she had a pair of red and gold eyes, messy black hair, and a simple dress that was completely black from head to toe, plus a red decoration on her chest.
"This is the child of Austal's new generation ANTI-X program..."
An Jie briskly took on the role of introducer, but Yang Sikang spoke first:
"Dibel XV, the 15th card of the Major Arcana, the Devil card."
Yang Sikang's voice was not loud, but Di Beilu's attention was immediately shifted to him.
"Hello, I'm Dibel. Do you know me?"
"I know a little bit..."
Angel looked at Yang Sikang thoughtfully, while Osta pushed his glasses with great interest, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Some? Never mind. I'm Dibel. Are these two strange but weak guys your companions? I can't find their information in the data, so they are guests, right?"
Dibel said and looked at Osta, who nodded:
"Dibel, accompany them for a regular training. This is a temporary arrangement and does not need to be recorded specifically."
"Regular training may still be too much for them. Their mind cubes have strange limitations. I can't actively limit my state to that level, Doctor."
Di Bello said these rather impolite words very calmly, but Frederick and Bismarck, who came from an iron-blooded family, were both capable of serving as flagships, and did not show any emotional changes due to this provocative behavior.
Yang Sikang looked at Dibelu and smiled softly:
"Don't worry about that. Once they enter combat mode, they will reach the required strength."
"?"
Dibel looked at him in confusion, and Yang Sikang said with a smile:
"I personally handled the hulls and equipment of both of their ships, so there are certain...abnormalities. Well, although meeting you here was something I didn't expect, it's not too bad."
His eyes sank slightly and he smiled:
"It's much better than meeting him outside."
"outside?"
Dibel looked at him in confusion, but did not dwell on it any longer. Instead, he looked at Osta.
Osta touched his chin, looked at Yang Sikang and said:
"Dibel is a new generation of ANTI-X, using some special manufacturing methods. Her combat power is not as simple as it looks."
"Don't worry, Dr. Osta. I know how powerful Dibelu is, so I have no intention of looking down on him."
Osta stroked his stubble, the smile on his face becoming more and more obvious:
"Since you are confident, then let's do as you say. Dibel, prepare according to the test requirements and send another list to the commander."
"Yes, Dr. Osta."
Soon after, in the test area of the institute, Frederick and Bismarck stood side by side, and Dibel also unfolded her exaggerated ship outfit.
The huge black alien ship suit brought a strong sense of oppression, and the whole mood of Dibelu, who was sitting astride the ship suit, also changed significantly. However, her tone was still brisk, and there seemed to be no substantial change.
"My name is Diberu XV, you can just call me Diberu. I am good at assisting and supporting, not attacking and frontal combat. Therefore, during training, I will have drones adapted to the rules of the exercise to assist me. Because the cooperative test part was skipped, the data of this test will not be recorded according to Dr. Osta's request."
Dibel finished speaking briefly and turned his gaze to Yang Sikang:
"So, Mr. Commander, you're not going to leave here?"
"Of course we have to leave, but I have to adjust their ship outfits first."
Yang Sikang smiled, turned his head to look at Frederick and nodded, then looked at Bismarck:
"Wake it up, Bismarck."
"it is good."
Bismarck took a deep breath to adjust his mood, then fully deployed his ship equipment.
The next second, something weird happened!
As her ship suit was fully deployed, Geryon naturally woke up. However, after waking up, Geryon was obviously different as a whole, as if she felt something different and instinctively roared.
At the same time, Dibel looked at Geryon with a little surprise. Then, Geryon's body began to change to black, and its overall volume shrank by nearly one third. However, there were obvious changes in the lines on his body surface, and his aura also increased significantly!
Geryon attached himself to Bismarck's back, spread his wings, and stared at Dibel vigilantly. This action seemed to cause a corresponding change in Bismarck, and his strength increased a lot at once!
But then, another equally powerful presence appeared nearby.
Behind Frederick, her ship outfit also underwent similar changes as Geryon, but unlike Bismarck who was also surprised, Frederick now had a smile on his face, but with an indescribable madness, like a wild beast ready to pounce on its prey, but with absolute rationality in his eyes.
"...The overall improvement is indeed huge. This strength has fully met the test requirements and has exceeded them by a lot. I'm afraid the minimum performance cannot complete the test normally. Doctor, can I improve the performance of the machine?"
"Permission, adjust it according to your feeling."
Aosta responded readily, and Yang Sikang introduced with a smile:
"Let me introduce you to Bismarck Zwei and her special ship outfit, Geryon. As for Frederick, she is my special ship. Haha, then, the rest is up to you. Frederick, go all out."
Yang Sikang left the exercise area, and in the audience, Helena had already started working.
It was not until this time that he had the leisure to observe this Helena. If nothing unexpected happened, the Helena in the meta-world should be the Helena META that appeared in the β experimental field later, and it is suspected that she has not been truly METAized.
Compared to Helena in other experimental fields, Helena in the Metaworld is more mature and reliable, and she is proficient in all aspects. Most importantly, her SG is super strong.
"This kind of targeted enhancement is rare."
Aosta suddenly said:
"It seems that I underestimated your knowledge before."
"This is not knowledge but experience. It is normal to ignore it without prior knowledge. Dr. Osta, I actually have a question. In Tarot cards, there is a difference between upright and reversed positions. The ANTI-X system uses the Major Arcana of Tarot cards to name them, so do they also have a difference between upright and reversed positions?"
"This is an interesting direction of thinking, and it sounds very feasible. Haha, the special nature of the ANTI-X system determines that they have higher customization than ships, and it is easier to adapt."
Osta said with a smile, but he did not directly answer Yang Sikang's question.
“It means I can find the answer myself.”
Yang Sikang sighed helplessly, but Osta just smiled:
"The performance of the ship you brought made me realize something, so if I tell you this information directly, it might have a negative impact."
Osta explained, and Yang Sikang nodded:
"I totally understand. I just wanted to complain. Haha, after all, this is the first time these two have shown this attitude. I don't know how much they can show."
"Doing something like this properly can help relieve tension, but I don't see that you are nervous. Besides, you said you were adjusting the ship's equipment, but didn't you do anything just now?"
Anjie asked a question, and Yang Sikang smiled happily:
"I see. Although I did some special concealment, I didn't expect that I could hide it from Professor Anjie. Now I feel much more confident..."
"This commander interfered with the suits of the two previous ships in some way when they were deployed, removing certain restrictions. This should be one of the reasons why their suits changed after they were deployed."
Helena said, her eyes fell on Yang Sikang's clothes pocket:
"I noticed that you seem to be carrying a dangerous Rubik's Cube. There is some power in it that makes me feel uneasy. Could you please explain it to me?"
Yang Sikang smiled:
"As expected of you, you even noticed this. However, I can't explain this for now. I can only guarantee that these factors are not dangerous... To be more precise, they are not dangerous when I am present."
Yang Sikang smiled and said:
"And isn't this all right in front of you?"
Helena's expression changed slightly, she nodded silently, and turned her attention back to the changes in the situation on the training ground.
Although Dibel's fighting style was exaggerated, as she said, she was good at assisting and supporting. Although the humanoid agent units were difficult to deal with, Frederick and Bismarck obviously had enough experience in dealing with them when their combat power was roughly equal.
Coupled with the excessively detailed information about Dibel that they had received in advance, Frederick and Bismarck were not at a disadvantage in the exercise.
"Dr. Anjie, Bismarck and Frederick's calculation ability and response speed are gradually increasing. They are experiencing extremely exaggerated growth in battle."
Helena suddenly said, but Anjie smiled:
"Okay, but don't worry, Helena. This Mr. Commander is not that kind of person."
"...I don't mean that. I'm just worried that this terrifying growth rate will lead to a decrease in the fit between the ship's equipment and the body, which will reduce combat effectiveness. After all, if the growth of the body and the growth of the spirit are not synchronized, it will be uncoordinated."
Helena defended herself somewhat awkwardly, but Yang Sikang didn't care about these issues at all.
He clearly remembered that in the plot of the game, in the space constructed by the tower, the image of Dibel could really be sensed, discovered and then taken over by the real Dibel.
Although the current situation is different, we should always be prepared for the worst.
He kept his hands in his pockets and never took them out. He kept the two special mind cubes in his hands to guard against any abnormal changes in Dibel.
However, until the end of the exercise, the situation he worried about did not happen at all.
The battle ended with the time limit being reached, and no one was able to decide the winner. However, for Yang Sikang, this was already a good situation.
"Dr. Osta, can I have a copy of the data from this exercise?"
Helena suddenly asked, and Osta looked at her and then at Anjie.
Anjie looked a little strange and shook her head slightly. Osta thought for a moment:
"This data mainly involves the part of Dibel. Due to my position, I cannot share this data at will. I'm very sorry. However, if Anjie is willing..."
"Stop! Poaching is prohibited. I will not give my assistant to you."
Anjie made an X with her arms, rejecting Aosta righteously. And Yang Sikang's attention was inevitably drawn to the assistant that Anjie mentioned.
He didn't show it, but even so he noticed Helena glance at him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Frederick, Bismarck."
Yang Sikang turned around and greeted the two ship girls, took out the two Rubik's Cubes from his pocket, and restored the restrictions on their ship equipment.
"It's really easy to get addicted to the state just now. If you don't stay awake, there's a high possibility that you will get intoxicated by the power."
Bismarck spoke, and Frederick added:
"For those who crave power, it is a temptation that cannot be rejected even if they know it is poison. That is why it is restricted. And the fact that we know of its existence is because of the commander's trust in us."
Bismarck lowered his hat brim and didn't respond. But Anjie came over faster than Yang Sikang:
"You look pretty good, what do you think, Helena?"
"Both of them have no problems and are in very stable condition, even better than before, which is unbelievable and unreasonable."
"It's natural to be able to do things that are not common sense."
Anjie's emotions were at an all-time high:
"The drill test is over. Is it time to go back and talk about it?"
Anjie looked at Bismarck and Geryon who had not yet left:
“I have so many questions I want to ask now!”
