Chereads / The Guardian: Transported in the World of Azur Lane (Rework Version) / Chapter 21 - Season 1 Chapter 17: "White Wisdom Cube"

Chapter 21 - Season 1 Chapter 17: "White Wisdom Cube"

In the first week of March 1930, on Friday Early Morning, the Eagle Union Fraction revealed to everyone that Valerius Silverblade was a fake name and his real name was Accel Winchester. Still, nobody cared about that because they were afraid whenever he acted or faked himself at the competition event. When he also heard about his wife causing trouble at the Sakura Empire, he smiled and laughed.

"You know what Belfast, I am bored just sitting and going on missions repeatedly, so an idea came out in my mind to do some crazy experiments." Accel just blatantly said something very casual that made Belfast a bit worried. "If it is something dangerous, I shall not allow it, because I am not the only people watching you, Sir Accel." Accel just slightly moves his eye movement from the side. "Not really that crazy, but more like a hobby of mine from my world, whenever I am bored. Let's go to the Eagle Union Pier." Accel and Belfast went out of the barracks and headed towards the Eagle Union Pier.

There are three levels of structural size, they are Small Pier, Medium Pier, and Large Pier. Small Pier categorized the warships with Corvettes, Patrol Boats/ Fast Attack Crafts, Submarine Chasers, and Minesweepers. For the Medium Pier, they categorized the warships with Destroyers, Frigates, Cruisers, and Submarines. Lastly, the Large Piers categorized the warships as Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, Amphibious Assault Ships, Heavy Landing Ships/Dockships, and Supercarriers.

Accel and Belfast went to the Small Pier at Area 1, which is vacant, and started what Accel wanted to do, people noticed their presence and made their distance a bit too far due to Accel's presence being there. "So, Sir Accel. What kind of experiments are you going to make?" Belfast was curious and asked Accel about this, he replied to her saying, "I think, I will do some Warship Creation Magic." Belfast was confused and after for while she understood what Accel would be making as she asked him, "After making the warship, what will you do it?"

"Maybe... Creating Humanoid Shipgirls like you, Belfast..." Accel made a straightforward answer as Belfast was a bit processing her brain, "Are you crazy, Sir Accel! Are you seriously trying to make like us? That would be impossible without the power of the wisdom cube." Belfast was stroking her head whether Accel was joking or not. "I am half serious about this and half serious not because having an interesting hobby like this excites me. Learning about the Wisdom Cube piqued my interest, but since it is impossible to get one, why not make an artificial wisdom cube."

Belfast pinched Accel's ear and dragged him to the Eagle Union Main Base because there was a time where major incident with a certain person who created an artificial black wisdom cube with the help of the Siren Nation, that person was one of the Sakura Empire Aircraft Carrier Division... "Achoo!" Akagi sneezes as someone is talking behind her back... "Are you alright, Sister Akagi" Kaga was worried that maybe she had caught a cold...

Back at the Eagle Union Main Base, there was a current conference meeting that was held by a few of the high-ranking shipgirls since most of them were currently not present and were dispatched or joined up with other alliance ships outside of the Eagle Union Fraction. The current shipgirls who are present are the majority of the destroyers and light cruisers talking about the recruits and the training with them. Belfast entered the conference meeting, and what they saw was Belfast pinching a recruit who is none other than, Accel. "Belfast that is enough, you are going to tear up my ear off!!!"

Enterprise noticed this and made the conference meeting temporarily end as all the destroyers and light cruisers who were present in the conference while most of them were doing a video call left and went out. "So, Belfast did something happen, you look very serious?" Enterprise noticed that Belfast had a serious look, "Yes, Sir Accel will likely create another major incident that happened like a certain person from the Sakura Empire an Artificial Cube." Enterprise was silent for a few seconds and reacted with a shocked look. "Are you crazy, Accel!" Enterprise shouted at Accel.

"I already told you, I am not crazy and I don't who you are referring to a certain person that created a major incident from the Sakura Empire." Accel knows that person, it was Akagi from the Aircraft Carrier Division, but unlike her with help from the Siren Nation, Accel will use a copy-related magic skill, like duplication. But, explaining to them this will be hard since the major incident was creating a black wisdom cube was very something.

"Okay, like this I am not creating an artificial cube, but it's more like duplicating them." Enterprise and Belfast cannot believe what they heard, but because Accel already said about the artificial cubes, they will not believe what I say. "How about you give us a demonstration, Accel. And we will believe about duplicating them." Enterprise told Accel about this for proof. "Sure, just give me a single wisdom cube, then I will duplicate it." Enterprise using her communication device, which is more like a mobile phone though, calls someone to bring a wisdom cube from the secret vault storage.

An hour later, Battleship Pennsylvania and Battleship Tennessee appeared in the conference meeting room they brought a very secure small heavy vault, well the wisdom cube is a precious material and the origin where shipgirls are born. As they opened the secure vault, a strong energy burst out and the wisdom cube was there. "A single wisdom cube is very important and precious, losing one of these is not allowed and will be executed like you, Accel." Enterprise saying this while being serious.

"I know..." Accel grabbed the wisdom cube, and he observed and noticed its abilities (based on Azur Lane) include Energy Manipulation, Information Manipulation (Type 2), Data Manipulation, and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 3 - Creation). However, he didn't delve deeper due to this complex design and mechanics as if something was blocking him from delving even more into the wisdom cube. "Okay, I will start duplicating the wisdom cube for proof."

Belfast, Enterprise, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee begin watching and observing how Accel will start duplicating the wisdom cube using magic from his world. But, things didn't go as planned for Accel, when the duplication started a burst of huge data forcefully entered Accel's mind his head was bursting with pain that made Belfast worried while the three were showing a shocking look. "Sir Accel, are you alright you seem a bit of pain?" Belfast was showing some concern towards Accel. "I am... fine... Argh! Damn... For some reason, unknown information from my head is appearing... Damn it!" Accel was showing some pain from a strange headache.

A piercing pain shot through his skull, forcing him to his knees. His hands clutched his temples as he let out a strangled gasp. "The fuck, it felt like a dragon claw just pierce through my body. Huh??? What's... this... ... ... ..." Unknown Data flooded his mind, fast and overwhelming, like a thousand voices screaming blueprints, numbers, and emotions.

This data wasn't based on Azur Lane, but based on his world where magic and technology coexisted, "This information is modern-magical advanced weaponry...".

System Notification! "Warning, unknown data as transmitted to your brain forcefully, please stop your actions immediately, I repeat stop immediately!!!" System Notification! "Warning, User's body is being attacked mentally, I repeat stop your actions immediately!!!" System Notifications! "Warning, Unknown Data is being transmitted with information... Destroyer-class Arleigh Burke... Electromagnetic Railguns... Hypersonic Missiles... Combat AI... The User is being bombarded with relentless information from his world, I repeat stop immediately!!!"

Accel was bombarded relentlessly, each word etched into his consciousness like a branding iron. At this time, while the system notification started warning him to stop, he didn't listen because at this time he couldn't hear anything due to being bombarded with information about magitech advanced weaponry. This pain was very nostalgic, when he defeated one of the Demon Emperors who were on conquest from his world, feeling this pain was unexpected to him.

Belfast immediately stepped forward, alarm etched on her face. "Sir Accel! What's happening? Stop this madness at once!" But, Accel tried to say something, "Argh! No... I—", his voice broke off into a cough, and drops of blood splattered on the floor. His vision blurred, the world around him twisting unnaturally. The faces of the Shipgirls distorted, their outlines glowing faintly like holograms, further blending reality with hallucination. "Huh? Is this blood? Hahaha...".

With a final surge of energy, the Wisdom Cube split—one remaining blue wisdom cube, the other a radiant white crystal, shimmering with a metallic sheen. Its surface was intricately etched with unknown circuits and holographic projections of modern ships flickering in and out of view.Enterprise's eyes widened, and her usual composure shattered. "What… is that?" she whispered, stepping back instinctively. "That's not normal. A white wisdom cube?!?!"

Tennessee and Pennsylvania exchanged uneasy glances, their gazes fixed on the strange-looking object. The light it emitted was strange and they felt that their energy was stronger than an ordinary wisdom cube. Accel, however, was far from alright. He doubled over, coughing violently, each spasm sending more blood onto the conference floor. His hands shook, his body refusing to respond to his commands. "Hahaha, this feeling... was unexpectedly nostalgic... during those times.." Accel fell on the floor and fainted.

"Sir Accel!" Belfast dropped to her knees beside him, her usually stoic demeanor replaced by raw concern. She grasped his shoulders, steadying him as his body trembled uncontrollably. "Why would you push yourself like this? This is beyond reckless!" Accel opened his eyes and smiled a feeling of success as he rested on Belfast's soft thick legs...
