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

Chapter 319 Crying
Mien is dead.

The last vestige of his soul, which had survived the destruction caused by the [Summoning Lightning Bomb], collapsed and dissipated at this moment, disappearing completely from this world along with his body.

Ossie lowered her eyes and watched the scene calmly.

Faced with the loss of life before her eyes, she was not as sentimental as usual this time, but accepted it naturally.

Five hundred and three people, five hundred and three souls... Among them, some were heinous criminals who deserved to die; some had moral failings but did not deserve to die; and some were completely innocent.

For example, the slaves under the Celestial Dragons, although most of them had long been resigned to death and longed for death to bring them liberation.

But their own will is one thing, actually killing them is another.

Ossi was undoubtedly taking his anger out on them this time because of Bourfat's death.

She could have found a better solution with her power, she could have avoided involving them, and they had nothing to do with this... but Ossie chose to follow her heart.

She needs to vent.

She is not an absolutely rational, cold deity; she also has her own emotions and needs to express herself.

She didn't want to think about anything else; she just wanted to vent all the suppressed sadness and anger in her heart!
[Why, why, why! Why did you kill him!]
Why did he die!
[Now that he's dead, all of you go down and die with him!]
Whether it was blinded by rage or a deliberate abandonment of reason, Ossie unleashed her anger and pain indiscriminately this time, bringing death equally to everyone present.

"call……"

"Heh~"

"Perhaps, as Sister La said, the reason I value life is not because life itself is precious or unique..."

"I just hate seeing death."

Ossie made a self-deprecating remark, then closed her eyes.

The surrounding sea was unusually quiet at this moment, with no sea breeze or waves, and the entire sea area was completely silent.

Ossie was also enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Unlike ordinary death, the soul that has been judged by the [Summoning Thunder Bomb] will completely disintegrate without leaving any residue. Therefore, Ossi did not feel the various emotions that the soul had before entering the underworld as he had in the past.

To be honest, that feeling wasn't pleasant.

After all, the emotional outburst before a person dies may be the most intense one in their life, and the kind of situation where it's like a loudspeaker shouting in your ear is really unbearable.

This time it was very quiet.

Perhaps death itself should be serene.

……

After standing silently in place for three minutes, Ossi finally opened his eyes again.

She looked down at the sea, wanting to find Bourfat's body.

She should have done it, but she hesitated to take the first step.

Once again, she wanted to escape, to escape the death she loathed and feared.

Or rather, the first thing she realized was that she had to face the death of Bourfat, who was like a family member to her, which was really too cruel for her.

She dared not imagine that familiar face losing its life before her eyes.

His appearance, his voice, the words he spoke, all the memories of him were clearly imprinted in Ossie's mind... as if he could live on in her memory as long as she didn't see his body.

But this won't work. Others might be able to deceive themselves like this, but Ossie can't.

The power of the god of the underworld is absolute, and also cruel.

No matter how much you deceive yourself, no matter how much you try to deny it, the moment the other person's soul appears in the underworld, the fact that the other person is already dead is undeniable.

Bourfat is dead.

"Whoo~"

Clutching his chest and feeling the tremors in his core, Ossie took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.

She couldn't let Bourfat down... She wouldn't run away anymore.

...Bang!
Wow! ! !

Determined, Ossi dived directly into the deep sea, intending to retrieve Bulfat's remains and bring them back to Fenrir for burial.

She couldn't let him die without even a tombstone, like other lonely, helpless pirates.

[It should be located beneath this sea area.]
Ossie gazed at the dark, deep sea ahead, recalling the last place her soul had been before returning to the underworld.

However, the currents beneath the surface were chaotic and disorderly, and Ossie searched for a long time but could not find Bourfat.

His body had long been carried away by the ocean currents to some unknown place, and might even have been devoured by some unknown sea monster.

A body without a soul is just a dead object, and Ossi had no choice but to search for it bit by bit by luck.

The dark seawater did not obstruct Ossie's vision, and she completely ignored the powerful water pressure. Ossie activated her Observation Haki to its fullest extent, while her slightly glowing golden eyes searched around...

One minute.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

thirty minutes!

One hour!
Three hours!

The sun gradually sank below the horizon, and the world began to be shrouded in darkness, with starlight reflected on the sea...

Time has passed, but Ossie still hasn't been able to find that figure from her memory.

[Can't find it! Can't find it! Can't find it!]
Why can't I find it anywhere!
[Damn it, where are you, old man!]
[Don't hide it anymore at a time like this!]
……

Finally, as the sun was about to rise on the second day, Ossie sensed a familiar energy fluctuation at an unknown depth in the ocean.

[This feeling is...]
boom!
Divine power erupts!

Having finally found a clue, Ossie rushed in that direction without hesitation.

The powerful water pressure seemed to disappear, and the seawater around Ossie was immediately displaced, forming a cavity.

Immediately afterwards, she streaked across the pitch-black seabed like a red streak of light, her speed no slower than that in the air!
[There it is!]
[It's right there!]
A faint golden light appeared in Ossie's field of vision. Even though the light was so faint that it was almost transparent, it was still dazzling in the dark sea.

……

Bang!
Wow!

A figure emerging from the seabed burst through the surface, the resulting waves shattering the final moments of tranquility before dawn ended.

Several early-rising seabirds were circling in the air, preparing to catch fish, when they were startled by the sudden noise and cried out "Ahhh!" as they hurriedly flapped their wings and fled...

"..."

Ossie stood on the sea, her crimson eyes lowered, silently looking at the 'thing' in her arms that was about the same size as herself.

Dawn has arrived, and at the horizon where the sky meets the sea, a ray of light that no one can ignore finally pierces the darkness.

Golden sunlight shone on the sea, which had been still all night, and also shone on Ossie's arms... a baby.

An infant, naked and curled up, clutching a golden feather and a small seashell tightly in its arms.

The morning sunlight was so gentle, like a hand softly stroking a baby's cheek, bathing it in a soft glow...

Seeing this, Ossie also reached out and gently stroked the baby's cheek.

Her movements were very gentle and careful, but perhaps due to the stimulation of the sunlight or the change in environment, the sleeping baby suddenly opened its eyes.

The baby's eyes are amber, similar to Ossie's, but with a deeper look.

Two pairs of eyes, roughly the same size, stared at each other, and then a tender cry broke the tranquility of the sea once again.

"Wah~ Waaah~"

A new day has begun.
