Across the world, there are countless legends about Ghost Ships.
Ye Kai once had some friends who were fascinated by supernatural events, one of whom was particularly obsessed to the point of fanaticism.
He had seen this friend's manuscript, and to this day, Ye Kai remembers how the friend wrote: "A Ghost Ship is a vessel in maritime lore, inhabited not by humans but by spirits. In the history of navigation, the Ghost Ship has become a symbol of mysterious phenomena at sea, yet what is most astonishing is that such events keep occurring."
"And I am one of those who survived after encountering it..."
At that time, Ye Kai didn’t believe it at all; he thought his friend had just read too much and was writing for fun.
But now, he suddenly recalled that the manuscript seemed to mention that these Ghost Ships contained not only peculiar things but also secrets of immortality.
Moreover, these legends spoke of Ghost Ships that had no crew or were abandoned vessels that had endured for hundreds of years. Yet this empty ship, pulled by skeletons, made Ye Kai feel even more enveloped in mystery.
"Bang! Bang!"
Chains dozens or even hundreds of meters long seemed to come alive on the ship's hull, thrashing and sending all nearby robots flying. In an instant, metal parts scattered everywhere.
"Ha! Does this count as a cornered beast fighting back?"
Watching the anxious deity gaze into the distance, Ye Kai patted the Girl on the head and said helplessly, "Don't worry; even if he runs to the End of the World, he can't escape. Let's take a look at this living 'ship' first. I have a feeling we might uncover some important clues here."
"A living ship?"
The deity suddenly looked up, a confused expression on their face.
"This one is moving on its own!" Ye Kai gestured toward the Screen.
“Eh!”
The moment she saw the Ghost Ship, Shen exclaimed in surprise. After a while, she couldn't help but break into a wide smile. “Hooray, hooray! This is amazing! With this thing, we can achieve time-space positioning, and then we can catch that guy!”
Ye Kai rubbed his forehead.
With this thing, they could catch that guy?
But Shen didn’t care about anything else. At that moment, she joyfully jumped out of Hope, hovering in mid-air, and with a childish wave of her hand declared, “Holy Rune, Light Prison, bind!”
Suddenly, eighteen beams of light descended, firmly trapping the struggling Ghost Ship.
Ye Kai's keen eyes caught sight of something as Shen made her move. Through a swirling mist, he noticed a pair of eyes filled with endless malice peering through the gap in the cabin window of the Ghost Ship trapped in the Light Prison.
These eyes were like two bottomless Blood Pools—chillingly cold and seemingly capable of conjuring layers of illusions.
Fortunately, Ye Kai was observing through the Light Screen; otherwise, he wouldn't have had much confidence in facing those eyes with his Mind Control Ability.
Even so, a deep chill suddenly surged within him.
However, those eyes vanished from the cabin window in an instant. Yet even after their disappearance, the lingering image of those blood-red eyes left him with an unsettling feeling.
“Bang bang bang!”
The chains on the Ghost Ship thrashed wildly, causing the beams of light to resonate with loud thuds.
"Ha ha, you still haven't surrendered? How bold! Behold the divine treasure, Sunshine Illuminates!"
As the divine voice echoed, a massive sphere of light appeared in the sky. In just one second, thick black smoke began to rise from the Ghost Ship, accompanied by a burning smell that filled the air.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
It was unclear whether the Ghost Ship had truly transformed into ' Creatures ', but along with the smoke came terrifying and mournful wails.
Ye Kai stepped forward, observing the lively Girl and casually asked, "What is this Sunshine Illuminates all about?"
"Oh, I just learned it from watching an Animated Series!" the deity replied nonchalantly.
Could it be that she watched ' King of Fighters '?
Given this Girl's personality, there might be more to it. So, Ye Kai continued, "What about Black Particle? Does that also have a meaning?"
"Oh, does Lord God like it too?"
The deity finally turned around, grinning as she asked, "I've learned so much already." She raised her fingers and counted off: "There are many more, like Ghost Path, Corpse Demon Extermination, and hey, even though I haven't figured out Zanpakuto yet, it's still pretty impressive..."
Ye Kai was completely bewildered.
Could it be that he would also be able to use these abilities in the future? Or perhaps all of his Bio Warriors could use them?
What if he could inscribe these spell-like abilities into the Holy Armor...
"Wow!"
Thinking about it, millions of people simultaneously using moves like Black Particle and Radiant Sunlight, isn't that incredible?
Adding to that the martial arts techniques and inner strength that had gradually integrated into the combat system...
Ye Kai pinched himself hard, finally coming to his senses. Had he unknowingly become this powerful?
"Ding ding! Lord God, look! What is that in your hand?" The deity held up a jelly-like object the size of a goose egg, smiling as if presenting a treasure.
"Hmm?"
Ye Kai leaned closer and poked it with his finger. It felt soft and slightly cool. Curiously, he asked, "What is this?"
With a face that seemed to say 'praise me!', the deity replied, "Look, I put in a lot of effort to refine this. It's a special kind of 'Faith Rice Ball!'"
A black line appeared on Ye Kai's forehead.
Could we not call it Faith Rice Ball?
And it's a different kind of 'Faith Rice Ball!'
Ye Kai sighed helplessly. Under the deity's reluctant and pained expression, he picked up the Faith Rice Ball, wearing a strange look on his face. "Do I just eat this directly?"
"Yes, yes! You can eat it directly... gulp!" The deity was actually feeling hungry too, but she still handed it to Ye Kai first. However, her almost drooling expression was truly amusing.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to split it in half, giving one portion to the eagerly watching deity. This immediately made Girl burst into laughter, her eyes sparkling as she leaned in to kiss Ye Kai on the cheek.
Was he really going to eat it directly?
Ye Kai felt a bit conflicted!
After pondering for a while, he steeled himself and shoved the half into his mouth.
However, the expected taste did not materialize. Instead, a cool Fine Thread flowed down his throat into his stomach, and then an explosive wave of energy surged through him, causing Ye Kai to shiver uncontrollably for several moments.
Soon after, a sensation akin to having just received a full-body massage washed over him, growing increasingly pleasant. He even closed his eyes, unable to suppress the soft moans escaping his lips.
After a final high-pitched note, Ye Kai finally came to his senses, feeling invigorated all over. His Ability had doubled once again, extending even fifty meters away.
"Awesome!!!"
With a sudden shout of excitement, Ye Kai declared that he would set aside everything related to the Wizard's Treasure. He needed to find more of these treasures that could enhance his strength.
As for what happened to the alternative ‘Faith Rice Ball’ refined by the deity from the Ghost Ship, he couldn't care less. What mattered most to him now was how to capture more Ghost Ships, especially that elusive one that had escaped.
