In the wake of the cataclysmic Battle of the Denmark Strait, the ferocious clash between the Crimson Axis faction Iron Blood and the Azur Lane faction Royal Navy left a trail of destruction. The mighty Hood was shattered and met her demise, while both Bismarck and Prince of Wales were being damaged, although managed to get away from the brink of destruction During that battle, Hood faced an unexpected end in the hands of Bismarck, her shells penetrated Hood armor and managed to critically damage her, resulting her in a dying state before sunk. In such moments, the intensity of the painful experience can greatly warp the mind and soul of a person. Even the most positive, brave, and valiant individuals can find themselves gripped by fear, hopelessness, and desperation. The thought of the cold, silent seafloor becoming their final resting place can be a nightmarish vision for those who facing death, which also applies to her. This harrowing final destination can transform a kind and peace-loving souls into a despair, madness, and hatred. Even those who have come to accept and embrace death can be corrupted by the sheer dark force of nature Her once pure soul had been tainted by the darkness of the abyss. Upon realizing she had a second chance at life, she transformed into something more akin to a vengeful spirit rather than a living being No one knows exactly how she was managed to get revived, but now she looks distinctly different. Her majestic golden hair has turned ghostly white, her once gentle eyes are now filled with rage. Her bright smile turned evil, a pair of horns also crowned her head, giving her a demonic appearance, and red marks, perhaps scars from her previous battles, also mark her cheek and face Appearance aside, now she's also wields Iron Blood fearsome mechanical monstrosities with ease, turning them into her weapons of choice. Additionally, she possesses siren-like tentacles that she can control freely, alongside an enigmatic Black Gem that hints at her other unknown powers. Could it be these combined elements that brought her back to life? or is it her insatiable hunger for vengeance? No one knows for sure.. Also, even though she used Iron Blood technology and stuffs, there were subtle hints that her true loyalty lay elsewhere, or perhaps it was an anger that drove her instead? or perhaps another mysterious powers and entity? Only time will tell.. One thing is certain, she is now more than ready to unleash her wrath upon those who hurt, abandoned, and belittled her. She was known as one of the strongest in the previous world war, and now, beneath the crimson skies, she's more than prepared to make the world witness and acknowledge that fact once again.. -------------------------------------- Another prologue of my IF story from Azur Lane series, which i intended to cover in Corruption, since even though there's already a new META faction, they're more being into "dark version", and not essentially "Corrupted version" (since they're also from another chaotic timelines) So here i want to push the corruption even further, mainly implementing Iron Blood and Sakura Empire background and essences, alongside the Sirens, which then results in creating a new Corrupted Faction from all-combined shipgirls 激震のデンマーク海峡海戦の後、クリムゾン枢軸派アイアンブラッドとアズールレーン派ロイヤルネイビーの激しい衝突は破壊の跡を残した。強大なフッドは粉々に砕け散り、ビスマルクとプリンス・オブ・ウェールズは、破壊の瀬戸際から逃れることはできたものの、ともに損傷を受けていた。 ビスマルクの砲弾はフッドの装甲を貫通し、致命的な損傷を与えた。このような瞬間、苦痛の体験の激しさは、人の心と魂を大きくゆがめることがある。どんなに前向きで勇敢な人でも、恐怖、絶望、自暴自棄にとらわれることがある。 冷たく静かな海底が最後の安息の地となることを思うと、死に直面している人にとっては悪夢のような光景となり得るが、それは彼女にも当てはまる。この悲惨な最終目的地は、優しくて平和を愛する魂を、絶望、狂気、憎悪に変えてしまう。死を受け入れ、受け入れるようになった者でさえも、自然の真暗な力によって堕落することがある。 かつては純粋だった彼女の魂は、奈落の闇に染まっていた。人生への再チャンスがあることを悟ったとき、彼女は生きているというよりむしろ復讐心に満ちた霊魂に似たものへと変貌した。 彼女がどのようにして蘇生したのか、正確なことは誰にもわからない。威厳のある金色の髪は幽霊のように白くなり、かつては優しかった目は怒りに満ちている。明るい笑顔は邪悪なものに変わり、頭には一対の角が生え、悪魔のような外見になった。 外見はさておき、今や彼女は鉄血の恐るべき機械の怪物を軽々と操り、自分の武器にしている。さらに、自由に操ることのできるサイレンのような触手と、未知の力を暗示する謎めいた黒い宝石も持っている。彼女を生き返らせたのは、これらの複合要素なのか、それとも復讐への飽くなき渇望なのか。確かなことは誰にもわからない。 また、鉄血の技術やものを使っていたとはいえ、彼女の真の忠誠心が別のところにあることを示唆する微妙なヒントがあった。時間が経たなければわからない。 ひとつだけ確かなことは、自分を傷つけ、見捨て、軽んじた者たちに怒りをぶちまける準備が、彼女にはできているということだ。そして今、真紅の空の下で、彼女は再びその事実を世界に目撃させ、認めさせる用意がある。 -------------------------------------- アズール・レーンシリーズの私のIFストーリーのもう一つのプロローグ。すでに新しいMETA派閥が存在するにもかかわらず、彼らは「暗黒バージョン」に傾倒しており、本質的に「堕落バージョン」ではない(彼らもまた別の混沌としたタイムラインから来たから)。 (Machine Translated)
