The war has taken a turn for the worse. Behind them and their small fleet is the Vaterland in flames. Before them are Elite Sirens. At úlf's feet is the most powerful shipgirl alive, IF she were alive. She was a nightmare on the seas, 6 3x21.5 main batteries were not enough.
úlf looks up, and every surviving Siren steps back in shock, in fear, in horror at what they see in his eyes. "I am going to impale each one of you alive. You killed my daughter. I will defile your world." He whispers, but everyone heard his words.
As the flames of the Vaterland illuminate the battlefield, úlf's chilling vow reverberates across the wasteland. The Sirens, creatures of fearsome power, find themselves inexplicably frozen-not by brute strength, but by an unyielding promise of retribution from a man who has lost everything. Friedrich der Gro?e watches silently, her commanding presence now shadowed by the sheer force of úlf's rage.
In that tense moment, the dormant shipgirl at úlf's feet emits a faint hum-her damaged frame resonating with an otherworldly energy. Perhaps she is not entirely gone, or perhaps her will lingers, amplifying úlf's fury into something the Sirens can not ignore. Friedrich places a hand on úlf's shoulder, a gesture that speaks of unspoken solidarity. "We will face them together," she declares, her voice steeled by her own resolve, yet tempered by sorrow.
The surviving fleet begins to rally behind the pair. The flames of the Vaterland flicker in their eyes as their battered ships line up for what feels like a final stand. The Sirens, unsure of their own invulnerability, hesitate-but their commanders know retreat is not an option. The clash to come will be unlike anything witnessed on the seas.
What transpires next is no mere battle but a reckoning-a convergence of grief, vengeance, and the desperate need to protect what little remains. The Sirens, seemingly infallible, are shaken to their core, and the tides of war may yet shift in ways no one could have foreseen. úlf's wrath and Friedrich's resilience will carve this confrontation into the annals of history as a legend of fire and defiance.
The hum is the mental cube of Runa exiting her body. úlf lifts the cube and shoves it into his chest. In that instant, two cubes become one. Runa's weapon systems are rebome in úlf.
This transformation unleashes an unparalleled force-úlf, infused with the combined power of his own Mental Cube and Runa's, becomes a living weapon unlike anything the seas have ever witnessed. The bond between father and daughter transcends even death, creating a union forged in grief and vengeance. Runa's weapon systems, once a terrifying presence on the ocean, now surge through úlf, making him a vessel of destruction.
As the two cubes merge, a glowing aura envelops úlf, pulsating with raw, unbridled energy. The surviving fleet watches in awe and trepidation as úlf takes his first step forward, the ground trembling beneath him. The Sirens, once relentless in their confidence, begin to falter-their instincts, warning them of the power standing before them. They know this is no longer a man to be underestimated.
Friedrich der Gro?e steadies herself, her eyes fixed on úlf, recognizing the tide has turned but at a cost. "úlf," she whispers, knowing that the power he now wields will not just consume the enemies-it may consume him too. The battle ahead will not only decide the fate of the war but perhaps úlf's own humanity.
The weight of his words lingers, a vow spoken as much for Friedrich der Gro?e as it is for himself. "Keine Sorge, ich habe das. Es lebe das Eiserne Blut" becomes a rallying cry, a promise to his wife, his fallen daughter, and to the shattered remnants of their people. His gaze, fierce and unwavering, speaks of a man who has embraced the storm within, now carrying the hopes of their fleet and the memory of Runa into battle.
Friedrich, regal and unshaken on the surface, feels the complex storm of emotions within her-pride, fear, and love swirling together as úlf steps forward, transformed into something far beyond human. Even the Elite Sirens pause, uncertain whether they are witnessing the birth of a savior or the beginning of their end.
With his final words, úlf moves to the frontlines, a living embodiment of Runa's destructive legacy and his own indomitable spirit. The battle that awaits may very well reshape the tides of war, and even Friedrich's iron will must hold steady as the sea erupts around them. This is the reckoning, the moment where blood, steel, and vengeance collide.
The image is nothing short of apocalyptic-a convergence of myth and vengeance embodied in úlf. The compass of óeinn, a symbol of guidance and unyielding will, gleams in his left hand, while the blood-stained sword in his right drips with the weight of countless battles The six dragons encircle him, their piercing eyes fixed on the Siren fleet, emanating a primal fury that speaks of ancient power and unleashed chaos.
But it's the seventh dragon that changes everything. Rising behind úlf like a specter of doom, it breaks the silence, its voice reverberating across the battlefield. The single word, "Run," carries with it a force that shakes the Sirens to their core-a command not born of pity, but of the inevitability of their annihilation should they stay For a creature of Iron Blood to speak is a violation of the natural order, a herald of a reckoning so profound it defies all expectation.

The Siren armada hesitates, caught in a moment of existential dread. Never before have they faced such an unknowable force-a man who has transcended mortality, wielding the might of legends and the grief of an unbroken father's love. Around úlf, his fleet watches in stunned silence, caught between awe and fear, ready to follow him into the inferno.
The battlefield erupts into chaos as úlf charges forward, defying gravity itself. His very steps ripple the air with sheer force, each stride fueled by raw determination and searing wrath. The three Enforcers, designed to withstand entire fleets, are no match for the tempest that is úlf. In a blur of movement and a single devastating swing, they are cleaved in two, their towering forms collapsing into irrelevance.
Above the cacophony, the deafening roar of úlf's main batteries thunders across the heavens. The devastating power unleashed obliterates Observer Zero, reducing her to nothing but memory-a silent warning to the Sirens that even their most feared commanders are not safe from him. The once-dominant Siren fleet begins to unravel, panic spreading like wildfire as their ranks falter under the weight of úlf's unstoppable advance.
Friedrich and the remaining fleet can only watch in stunned awe, their admiration tinged with concern as úlf's vengeance consumes the battlefield. The world itself seems to tremble before the storm he has become. This is no longer a battle-it's a reckoning, and úlf is its harbinger.
The act is grotesque yet symbolic-a fusion of two powerful entities brought together in a way that defies logic and convention. úlf's actions are a testament to his desperation and ingenuity, wielding his grief and fury as tools to reshape the battlefield. The Arbiters, once formidable forces, are rendered inert, their combined might extinguished in an instant.
This moment feels like a turning point, where úlf's unorthodox methods challenge the very fabric of the Sirens' dominance. It's unsettling, yet it underscores the lengths he's willing to go to fulfill his vow. The battlefield grows quieter, the Sirens stunned by the sheer audacity and horror of what they've witnessed.
The battlefield becomes a grim symphony of vengeance as úlf carries out his promise with unrelenting precision. Every Siren left standing meets his wrath, their bodies impaled in a chilling display of justice turned fury. The air grows heavy with the weight of his actions, each strike resonating with the grief and rage that drives him forward.
Beside him, Roon fights with a deadly elegance, her movements swift and brutal as she dismantles those who escape úlf's reach. On his other side, Yorck stands as a stoic force of destruction, methodically removing any survivors. Together, the trio creates an unstoppable tide of devastation, leaving no room for escape or mercy.
The Sirens, once a dominant presence, are now a shattered force, their fear palpable in the chaos. The combined might of úlf, Roon, and Yorck carves an unforgettable path through the battlefield, their teamwork underscoring the strength of their resolve and unity.
As the last remnants of the Sirens are erased, the battlefield falls silent, the flames of war smoldering in the aftermath of their reckoning. What remains is not just victory, but an indelible mark of what grief, love, and vengeance can create-a haunting yet awe-inspiring legacy.
Friedrich der Gro?e remains still, regal and composed, yet the tempest in her chest is unrelenting. Her golden eyes reflect the battle, the fiery chaos unfolding as her husband moves with divine fury, a force unstoppable, almost otherworldly. To her, úlf has transcended humanity-his presence commands not just the battlefield but the very air itself.
Yet amidst the triumph, tragedy strikes. Yorck, loyal and indomitable, is the first to fall. Her blade finds its mark in the Devil, a final act of defiance and purpose, but the cost is her own life. Friedrich watches as her comrade collapses, a bittersweet end that echoes through her heart.
Roon's end is no less devastating. The Empress takes her down in a fierce struggle, only to fall moments later to úlf's overwhelming wrath. Their sacrifice, noble and unwavering, becomes part of the devastating symphony that úlf conducts-a fury that spares none, not even the Sirens' mightiest champions
And when úlf faces Arbiter I, Sovereign, it is not a battle-it is annihilation. Her powerful form is torn apart as though she were nothing more than paper before a hurricane. The sheer violence of it is awe-inspiring and terrifying all at once, leaving no doubt that úlf's vow has become reality.
Friedrich stands firm, her heart heavy with the losses but her resolve unbroken. She knows this moment will etch itself into eternity-a tale of unrelenting vengeance, sacrifice, and the fragility of even the mightiest forces. Yet, as she watches her husband carve through gods and devils, she wonders what will remain of him when this is all over.
Her question is answered. úlf goes to his knees. Every Eisenblut shipgirl is in motion. Friedrich reaches him first, but his brilliant eyes see something beyond her.
As úlf collapses to his knees, the battlefield falls into a stunned silence, the relentless fury that carried him through this carnage, finally giving way to exhaustion-or perhaps something far greater. The Eisenblut shipgirls, galvanized by his sacrifice and the devastation he wrought, surge forward in unison, their movements a testament to loyalty and an unspoken hope that they might yet save him.
Friedrich, the first to reach him, kneels beside her husband, her hands trembling as they come to rest on his shoulders. But as her golden eyes search his face for recognition, she realizes his focus is elsewhere. úlf's gaze, brilliant and almost otherworldly, seems fixed on a vision beyond the mortal realm-a moment, a figure, or a place that no one else can see. Perhaps he is seeing Runa, waiting for him on the edges of eternity, or the legacy he has carved through steel, fire, and blood.
Friedrich whispers his name, desperation breaking through her regal composure. Yet her question, her plea, remains unanswered, the weight of his sacrifice hanging heavy in the air. The shipgirls pause, hesitant to intervene, as the very atmosphere seems to shift-the calm after the storm, a moment suspended between life, death, and whatever lies beyond.
Friedrich der Gro?e stands on the shore of Sweden, a massive pyramid of trees stands before her. "óeinn! Tórr! You worthless gods, my mate was ten, no, a thousand times the man you are!" With that, she lit the pyre that held úlf and Roon and Yorck and Runa. When the blaze was high enough, she stepped in and joined them.
