"How was it, Commander, the feeling of 'first-time' commanding a squad in battle?"
"Quite interesting. Unlike a single warship, a team where quantity leads to quality can achieve a three-dimensional, full-spectrum saturated strike. How do I put it, there's a beauty in the numbers!"
Jack was very satisfied with the firepower of his Shipgirl wives.
To see one aspect is to see the whole. These 12 mass-produced Sirens, if placed in modern warfare, would have enough firepower to support a small regional conflict.
Yet, such combat power, when faced with Shimakaze and the others, didn't even last a few rounds before turning into dust in the flames.
In the distance, the three members of the vanguard squad glided back from the water, standing gracefully before Jack.
"Reporting, Commander, Shimakaze sank 5 enemy ships!"
"Ayanami sank 3."
"Darn it, Yuudachi only got 2."
Because it was their first performance in front of the Commander,
The three, or more accurately, four, including Musashi, directly activated special skills that normally require certain conditions in the game.
But Yuudachi was a step slow. Besides the one Siren that Musashi blasted at the very beginning, another one was snatched away.
Jack stepped forward and patted Yuudachi's head.
"That's because you ate too much, which reduced your mobility. Although I didn't say anything, Yuudachi, you should still pay attention to that yourself."
"Wuwu… Yuudachi understands."
"Hmm, but if it's not for a mission, eating a bit more isn't a problem."
Yuudachi's eyes instantly lit up.
"Woof! Commander is the best!"
Then this dog-like Shipgirl jumped onto Jack, frolicking to her heart's content.
"Commander, there's something I don't know if I should say."
As the two were enjoying each other's company, Shimakaze walked over with a serious expression.
"When did you learn Nagato's ways? Just say it directly."
"Cough, cough… Commander, these Sirens are all unnumbered Sirens!"
"Oh, do even the mass-produced Sirens here have numbers?"
"That's right. Although from what we've seen with the Executors (high-ranking Sirens) and even the Testers (leader-class Sirens), mass-produced Sirens are just tools to be discarded after use, even as tools, they are still weapons of war capable of sparking a world war."
"Understood. After all, they are creations far beyond human technology. Letting them leak out indiscriminately would only cause the experimental field to deviate from its course more easily. But actually, you don't need to worry about these Sirens having any problems, after all—"
As Jack spoke, he stepped forward a few paces with Yuudachi in his arms, pointing his five fingers at the charred wreckage in the distance.
Buzz!
White light emanated from his palm, and the Siren wreckage touched by this light also began to glow in response.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the mass-produced Sirens gradually shrank, and shrank…
Ding!
A barely perceptible sound rang out.
The debris that had been floating on the sea surface vanished, leaving behind 12 light-wrapped cubes.
"Commander, what in the world is this…?"
Musashi walked over. Things of this shape didn't look like products of this world at all. If there was any correlation, they resembled the items Jack had taken out.
Then, Jack confirmed her guess.
"These Sirens are things that ran out of 'my world'."
Jack gathered the 12 light clusters.
Then the system interface showed that he had obtained a pile of basic materials like oil and supplies.
Ordinary mass-produced Sirens generally don't drop a Mind Cube; this was something Jack had already tested in the Star Sea Azure world.
"I told you before about 'invading' this world. World fusion isn't as grand as you imagine. Subtly, occasionally, some stowaways come over. This… is the beginning of assimilation."
In fact, as soon as Shimakaze said these monsters "suddenly appeared," Jack knew the origin of these Sirens.
The collision of worlds is spontaneous.
And it mostly centers around him, the Creator.
Because he needed to search for Sirens when going out to sea, the world created Sirens.
The Creator's process of conquering the Sirens influenced this world, thereby fulfilling the invasion conditions and gaining authorization.
Just now.
When he destroyed 12 Siren warships, Jack gained 0.0…01% of the world's authorization.
Further analysis.
Reality is not a game, and sea area suppression is not achieved by simply defeating some enemies.
The MC System 'gamified' the content of reality, creating enemies like Sirens.
Jack, with his six-person team, navigated grid by grid across the ocean, killing enemies they encountered.
After eliminating ordinary enemies, elite monsters and Boss monsters would appear next.
Defeat all special enemies, and the stage is complete, and this sea area is suppressed.
And this was exactly what Jack did most in games in his previous life.
"It seems we'll have to stay out here a while longer."
Jack gently stroked Yuudachi's head, and his God's Eye view stretched straight up into the sky, the observable range gradually increasing.
The burden on his brain was increasing.
But it didn't matter; the Creator's foundation was far beyond what a "Commander" could rival. Jack stretched the entire field of view to its limit.
Then, a hazy circle appeared in his mind.
"So that's it. This is the true Sakura Empire Area A sea region. Completing the task of defeating Sirens within this range will allow me to suppress this sea area."
Knowing the game rules, Jack looked at the only aircraft carrier in the fleet.
"Hakuryuu!"
"Here!"
"Come here for a moment."
"Huh? Oh."
Hakuryuu stood before Jack, chest puffed out.
At this moment, Yuudachi was still clinging to Jack, and a pair of heavy front armor mockingly pressed against Yuudachi's face.
Yuudachi: Damn it! Is having more fat so great? I'll bite you! Woof!
"Hmm?"
Hakuryuu glared at her.
Yuudachi immediately buried her head in Jack's embrace.
She confirmed it with her eyes; this was an older sister she couldn't afford to provoke!
Jack patted Yuudachi's dog-like head, and incidentally warned Hakuryuu.
"Don't bully Yuudachi."
"Tch…Alright. Um…Commander, do you have a special mission for me?"
"Indeed. I need to utilize your high-altitude vision."
"Aircraft?"
Hakuryuu looked at Shimakaze in confusion: "If it's for scouting enemy traces, isn't Shimakaze's radar more convenient?"
"That's under normal circumstances, Hakuryuu."
Jack explained: "The enemies we face aren't invading the port from the Siren main base; they are monsters that spawn within a limited range. So we don't need to run around everywhere like we did at first. We just need to ensure enough targets are moving within the area's grids to trigger the spawn mechanism."
Ultimately, these were Sirens from the Minecraft World.
The spawning mechanism still revolved around the player's surrounding chunks.
So Jack had Hakuryuu pilot her carrier-based aircraft to the surrounding sea areas, effectively treating the aircraft as chunk loaders, expanding the range of monster spawns.
This would allow them to encounter new monsters more quickly.
