Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 10 Night

"Superconducting Wave—Thunder Cannon!"

Following Osi's excited roar, a thumb-thick golden arc of electricity spurted out of Osi's mouth in a crooked manner, and the sand on the beach was immediately blown into flying all over the place, making both her and Obe a little dusty.

As for Ra, she was blocked out by an invisible force before the sand and stone could touch her—a simple in vitro application of mental power.

"Ahem, you red-haired idiot..."

"Hey, hey, hey~ Stop! Sister La said that we've already used up the time for today's quarrels. You can't scold me anymore! Right, Sister La?"

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Osi quickly hid his small body behind La, hugging the other's waist with only his head sticking out.

"Tsk!"

"It seems that you have already begun to master the power in your body. Well done."

Ra gently stroked Ossi's head, brushing off the dust.

"Hehe~ No way, it's all thanks to you, Sister La." I don't know if it was because La's head-patting technique was too comfortable or for some other reason, but Osi was rarely humble for once.

Ou Bei, who was standing by, felt a little envious, but was too embarrassed to go forward. For her, it was quite embarrassing to act like a spoiled child.

"But since you have so much energy, Ossi, go to the forest and cut some wood and branches.

It's getting dark, and we need a place to rest." After saying that, La patted Osi's head gently, signaling her to let go.

Osi understood, and although he was a little reluctant, he still let go of her hand. After saluting Chao La properly, he ran towards the forest.

"Understood! I promise to complete the task!"

"Sister, do you want to set up a tent?" Looking at Osi's back as he jumped away, Obe asked La.

"Yes, I remember Mr. Grylls on TV taught me that.

Although we won't get sick from the cold right now, it's still good to have some shelter. Please come and help clear some space."

"'Mr. Grylls'..." It took Oubey a moment to register who La was talking about.

"Sister, I always feel that compared to mine and Ossi, your personality and habits seem to be more different from before."

"Perhaps, but our souls undoubtedly come from Him, and that will never change."

La didn't want to dwell too deeply on the issue, so he simply said, "You think I'm not like him, maybe because I inherited another side of myself that he doesn't even know about."

"And the moment our soul split into three, we were no longer him. It's a done deal, so don't dwell on it."

"Ah~ Well, sometimes I really envy that empty-headed guy Ossi."

Ou Bei was a little confused by the question of "it's [him] and it's not [him]", and then he stopped worrying about the personality issue.

At the edge of the forest, they cleared a space large enough for the three of them to move around. La then controlled the flames to dry and harden the ground.

"Okay, all that's left is to wait for Ossi to come back."

After a few seconds, I retracted the flame and pressed the ground with my hand, and found that the dryness and hardness were just right.

Watching La skillfully use the flame, Ou Bei suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister, you also wove these clothes on us with your divine power, right? Why don't you just use your divine power to weave a tent?"

"Huh? You noticed that."

He stood up and patted his hands, which were free of dust, and turned around to explain, "But unfortunately, divine power is only a special kind of energy after all, and it cannot create things out of thin air.

The clothes you are wearing are actually visual effects produced by the light and heat emitted by my flames. They only have temperature but no substance.

If you don’t believe me, you can try to see if you can lift up your skirt.”

Ou Bei tried it and sure enough, it touched his thigh directly through his skirt.

"Really? I just realized it now!"

The touch of her own fingers on her thigh reminded her that what she was wearing was not real clothing, which made her reflect on her own slowness.

"No, that's not right! Big sis, you were carrying food in your skirt when you came back from the forest. I'm sure I'm not mistaken." Oubey suddenly realized his blind spot. "Well, I did carry food in my clothes back then, you're not mistaken~" La said with a rare playful tone.

"Then your clothes are..."

"The answer is the density of energy." La simply revealed the answer.

"So-called 'divine power' is ultimately nothing more than a type of energy particle. When compressed to a certain density, it undergoes a change in state, just like oxygen becomes liquid at 5.2 atmospheres of pressure."

As La spoke, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and its texture, like high-quality silk, was clearly revealed in the slight sway of the skirt.

"The reason why this dress of mine can hold all that food is because I use this method to transform energy into reality, and then use some mental power to shape and maintain the desired shape, thus becoming 'real' clothing.

As for yours... I'm sorry, you can only replace them after you've mastered this method. I can only guarantee the appearance and heat preservation for now."

La was telling the truth. It wasn't that she didn't want to make one for the two little ones just like herself.

But just as liquid oxygen will return to a gaseous state after losing the pressure and temperature that maintain its existence, the divine power that has left the body will slowly return to its original state if it is not disturbed.

Fortunately, La still has considerable control over these out-of-body divine powers. This kind of delicate control, like embroidering with fire, is not difficult for her. Of course, it is far from as easy as controlling them as when they are inside the body.

It's like opening a carrot, one is a direct neural connection, the other is a manual push and pull joystick.

"..."

Hearing the pulling method, Ou Bei was speechless.

Like Osi, she was already able to initially control the power in her body and naturally understood the terrifying skills hidden behind Lana's simple words.

This kind of miraculous power control and the huge mental expenditure required to maintain it are simply a fantasy to her now.

"No, there's no need to go to this extent."

"Maybe, but I have my reasons." La's eyes were lowered, but it seemed as if he was looking at somewhere that did not exist.

"Remember what I said before? Exploring the other worlds within the Millennium Brick requires immense divine and spiritual strength. I'm preparing to open those doors in the future. After all, perhaps one of those doors connects to our original world."

"Yes, is that so." After hearing this reason, Ou Bei didn't know what to say.

[As expected, La is different from us. Perhaps her sights are already set on the distant future.]
[Looks, personality, hard work, talent, wisdom, vision—everything is missing. What a perfect superman! Ossi, please come back soon! I really only feel safe when I'm with someone as ordinary as you!]
Just like that, after only being apart for a dozen minutes, our little Oubei began to miss her cheap second sister.

The two of them have a really good relationship~
In the forest...

"Hmm? Ouba? (Indifferent)"

Osi, who was looking for a tree with great interest, suddenly had a feeling in her heart, but after hesitating for a while, Osi continued to look for a tree. Maybe her feeling just now was wrong.

"Why are these trees so thick?"

Osi searched for a long time and found that the thinnest tree here was five times as thick as her.

She had no choice but to use a thunder cannon to break two bamboos and take them back.

"Sister La only said we wanted thin wood, not trees. Bamboo is also wood. Brother Bamboo, Brother Bamboo, blame your neighbors for being so overgrown."

Osi jumped up and pulled off a few vines from the treetops, then prepared to go back and report.

But it is actually a bamboo plant of the Poaceae family: "..."

"Oi~ I'm back, Sister La. By the way, this skirt you made is amazing. It didn't get snagged once during the whole trip."

Osi seemed to have not yet realized that the clothes he was wearing were actually no different from painted clothes.

"It's good that we're back. Let's set up the tent. We're going to spend our first night in this world in this little tent."

"Haha~ Now that you mention it, I'm really looking forward to it~"
