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

Chapter 301 Losing control
"It must be her heat cycle."

Upon hearing Ossie's question, a girl with a low ponytail and wearing blue goggles answered without looking up.

The other person was focused on fiddling with a card the size of a playing card on the control panel and didn't seem too interested in paying attention to Ossie, who had suddenly barged into the laboratory.

"In heat... Hey, Obey! I'm serious!"

"Oh."

The girl… that is, Obey, still didn't look up and replied perfunctorily. At the same time, as a button was pressed, the small card on the workbench began to emit light inexplicably.

Unfortunately, the light only lasted for a few seconds, followed by a slight sound of glass shattering—the card, made of some unknown material, broke into a pile of fragments.

[Failed again...?]
With a wave of his hand, a round, red, ball-shaped robot floated above the pile of failed products in the corner of the control panel.

suck~
Wow~
The little robot opened its big mouth and cleaned up all the trash on the counter like a trash can.

"Hey~ Did you make this little thing?"

Ossie's attention was quickly drawn to the novel little gadget. She wanted to reach out and poke it, but the other person nimbly dodged her and then slipped behind Ossie to hide.

【|wO】

"Yes, her name is 'Little Watermelon No. 1,' and she's a garbage disposal machine that I modified using my own special weapon."

Seeing that the experiment had failed, Obe simply took off his goggles and untied his low ponytail, letting his long, dark blue hair, which he had specially trimmed to shoulder length for the convenience of the experiment, fall loose.

"Don't let her small size fool you, her built-in decomposition program allows her to decompose things the moment she swallows them."

"With this, she can handle the garbage 24 hours a day."

Ober said with a hint of pride, for some reason.

"Uh... wow, that's amazing?"

"But why did you turn the exclusive weapon into a trash can?"

Ossie glanced at the little robot peeking out from behind Obe with some confusion; it seemed to have a certain level of intelligence.

"Since I don't fight much as a weapon, I don't really need it. But considering how much effort I put into making it, I can't just leave it as a decoration, can I?"

"It's just one of the modes anyway, we can switch back when needed."

Ou Bei patted the little watermelon hiding behind him, indicating that she could return to her standby position.

飘～
[Trash~]

"Oh? There's also voice recording?"

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party floated past him, Ossie swiftly moved and used both hands to grab 'Little Watermelon No. 1' and lift it up in front of him.

"Hehehe~ Let's see where you run now~"

【＞_＜】

【Trash~ Trash~】

"..."

"Tsk~ What kind of lousy voice is this? It sounds like someone is swearing."

"And the way this little thing looks..."

Upon closer inspection, Ossie realized that the simplified facial features on the 'Little Watermelon's' screen bore a striking resemblance to someone else, along with the inexplicable ahoge-like decoration on its head...

【】

"Obe! You wouldn't happen to be—"

"No."

"I haven't said anything yet."

"Yes, I know. But no, it's just your imagination."

"..."

"Yes, is that so? But..."

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

However, before the other party could continue questioning, Obey snatched the small watermelon from Osie and forcefully changed the subject, saying:
"You said you've been blushing and feeling your heart race lately, like a deer is pounding in your chest... These are definitely symptoms of being in heat."

"You're exactly the right age—"

"Wait, wait! I don't recall using that many modifiers, do I?"

"I only said that I simply experience occasional heart palpitations."

"Are you saying you have a heart problem? Don't be ridiculous, where would you get a heart now?"

Obe was right. Osi's current body no longer contained any internal organs; instead, it contained a profound core of divine power and endless pure divine power.

"That makes sense~" "Could it really be that kind of heat cycle?"

After hearing what the other party said, Ossie also began to have some doubts.

She stroked her chin and thought for a while, then without warning placed her hand on Obe's chest.

Snapped!
Really loud.

It's like pressing it onto a marble floor.

Compared to the already established La and the emerging Osei, Obe's current situation... well, we can optimistically say that its future is promising.

Of course, if the appearance of those three prototype figures represents the end point of their physical development, then Obey's future may not be so promising.

Or rather, OBE has already arrived at the 'future' ahead of time.

……

However, Ou Bei himself doesn't pay any attention to these things at all, and doesn't care about them in the slightest.

It's better this way, since they don't hinder movement. After all, they're just two decorative blocks with no real function.

Yes, this body is already perfect; there's no need to add anything or modify any stats.

That's right, Obe has long since passed the stage of being indifferent to external things.

She no longer gets emotionally affected by trivial things like her figure.

Yes, it is like that.

……

"Tsk, I don't feel anything~"

Ossie stretched out her hand and explored left and right as if wiping glass, but she still didn't feel anything unusual.

It was... very calm, very uneventful, with no major ups and downs.

Obey (silent).
"Should we try finding a man instead?"

"But you're no different from a man, so you probably don't need to do that anymore~"

Obey (remains silent.)
As he spoke, Ossie withdrew his hand, then squeezed his own.

Yes, I do feel something physically, but I'm still completely unmoved psychologically.

"It seems to have nothing to do with being in heat; it must be for some other reason."

What do you think, Obey?

"Obe?"

boom!
……

"Tsk, the swollen membrane suddenly looks so youthful~"

Clutching her swollen right cheek, Ossie was kicked out of the lab, her head full of questions.

A red light flickered in her palm, and as divine power flowed, the swelling on her right cheek began to subside at a visible speed, returning to normal within a few breaths.

"Whoo~"

After lowering his hand from his face, Ossie glanced back at the closed laboratory door.

"Is the experiment failed and he's taking it out on me on purpose? How capricious!"

"But this girl has gotten quite a bit stronger over the years... I'll definitely go to Sister La and give her a good dressing down later, hmph~"

After saying that, Ossie flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

Just as she lifted her foot, preparing to take her first step, an unprecedented, tearing feeling of palpitation suddenly seized her!
Immediately afterwards, Osina's golden pupils suddenly contracted!
"Hey, you're...you're kidding, right?"

"How could this be... How could he..."

The crimson divine power exploded without warning, like the earth's core being detonated!
"Ha, haha, I never thought my powers would malfunction one day."

The violent energy transformed into a tangible storm, pouring outwards wildly and uncontrollably, seemingly intent on shattering everything around it.

"Well, it seems like it needs some serious repairs."

The sky, the earth, the ocean... everything began to tremble uncontrollably in the face of a terrifying pressure, as if the end of the world had suddenly descended upon people.

"Ossie, what's wrong with you?!"

"What on earth happened?!"

Oblivious to the lab and equipment that had been swept into the air and unaware of what had happened, Obey immediately stepped forward and grabbed Osie's shoulder when he saw her out-of-control state.

But this time, her immense strength failed to subdue Ossie. The crimson girl stared intently in a certain direction, and silvery-white particles began to appear all over her body...

Hyper Meteoric Burst!!!
