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

Chapter 324 Makeup

"Ask whatever you want."

Brushing non-existent dust off his hands, Ossie slowly turned around and said casually.

Obe, who had been waiting quietly behind her, was relieved to see that her tone wasn't as downcast as he had imagined.

"Since you put it that way, then I will..."

"..."

"?!"

When his gaze fell on Ossie's face, Obey, who was about to speak, suddenly froze.

She had a whole host of questions to ask, but when she saw Ossie's face, she was surprisingly dumbfounded.

(⊙⊙)
"you……"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing the other person's surprised and speechless expression, Osi tilted his head and asked curiously.

"your face……"

"my face?"

What happened to my face?

Hearing the other person's question, Ossie was a little confused, but she still reached out and touched both cheeks, then pinched them.
"Hmm"

"It doesn't seem to have changed much."

Seeing that Obena still looked surprised, Osi simply took a few steps and walked up to her, then stared straight into her eyes.

"Hmm↓"

"Indeed, nothing has changed."

Nodding, Ossie confirmed once again, through the reflection in Obe's eyes, that there was indeed nothing strange growing on her face.

However, her sudden action startled Obe.

"?!"

"You, you, you...what are you doing?!"

Seeing Osei looking around at him and occasionally fiddling with his bangs, Obe hurriedly took a half step back.

"What are you doing..."

"I'm just using your eyes as a mirror, why are you making such a fuss?"

Seeing the other party's strong reaction, Ossie couldn't help but feel puzzled...

So she took a step forward, bringing the two of them even closer, almost face to face.

"No~"

"Obe, something's wrong with you~"

"Ah, ah? No, no."

Feeling the other person's gaze so close, Obe felt even more flustered and turned his face away to avoid looking at Osei.

This behavior only made Ossie more certain that the other party definitely had something to do.

No, you're lying.

"No, no."

Your face is all red!

“That’s what it means to be full of energy.”

"..."

"Hey ho~ You're even playing slang with me now~"

Seeing the other's expression, Ossie narrowed her eyes, then grabbed Obe's cheeks with both hands and forcibly turned her head to look at her...

Baji~

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The two locked eyes, and Ou Bei could no longer look away. But she also took this opportunity to finally see clearly the other person's face, which had changed drastically.

Although Ossie's appearance hadn't changed much overall, and her face was still the same, she gave off a completely different vibe.

Just like Nobita's Nobi suddenly became Mystic Gohan.

The complete liberation of the power of the God of the Underworld unconsciously gave her an aura of mystery and majesty.

In addition, something even more obvious is that Ossie's face is covered in "makeup".

Unlike the makeup that ordinary women apply to conceal imperfections or for any other purpose, Ossie's "makeup" is naturally occurring...

Legend has it that the origin of "makeup" is actually related to primitive human beliefs.

Around 3700 BC, the ancient Egyptians began using eyeliner made of galena or malachite to outline their eyes... This was a way for them to connect with the gods.

Because God is beautiful, they use makeup to make themselves beautiful as well.

This practice of re-decorating the face and other parts of the body to approach 'beauty' is essentially an imitation of the deity one believes in—that is, people imitate and please the god through 'makeup'.

Therefore, after Ossie truly and completely grasped the power of God, makeup naturally appeared on her face—a light red eyeshadow appeared around Ossie's eyes, making her bright golden eyes appear even more profound and sacred.

In addition, when Obe made eye contact with Osei, he could clearly see that around the other's originally gilded pupils, that is, on the iris, there was a ring of crimson priestly script.

The extremely fine priestly script was slowly rotating like a divine halo, emitting a faint light.

These are the same style of eyes as La's, signifying that Ossie has also entered adulthood.

The crimson and shimmering gold complement each other, these eyes are so majestic and beautiful... Anyone who sees these eyes will be irresistibly captivated the moment they appear.

In fact, even Obey would be momentarily dazed upon making eye contact with her, so she instinctively wanted to avoid it. ...

"Well!"

Once he regained consciousness, Obey shook his head vigorously, freeing his face from Ossie's claws.

"release."

"I already said it's nothing, and besides, I'm the one asking you a question!"

"Uh... okay, that seems to be the case~"

"Haha~ Go ahead and ask."

Taking two steps back, Osei retreated to a distance that wouldn't provoke Obe, and spoke with his hands behind his back.

"Hmm~ First of all, what exactly was that thing you did the other day?"

Obe asked the question that concerned her most at that moment—what kind of change had caused such a huge transformation in Osi?

The other person seemed to have suddenly climbed the ladder of adulthood, become more mature, and even grew a little taller.

It's worth noting that, apart from a certain part of their bodies, Ossie and Obe have grown almost in sync over the years, so there's no visible age difference between them.

Now, if you randomly ask someone to guess who the older sister is, ten out of ten people will definitely say that Oubei is the younger brother.

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Ossie paused for a moment before answering frankly:
"Because Uncle Bourfat has passed away."

"Bourfat is dead?!"

The answer was unexpected for Aube; she hadn't expected that Bourfat would suddenly die like that.

"Ah."

Ossie closed her eyes and nodded.

"That……"

"I avenged him."

"And his remains..."

"In accordance with his last wishes, he was buried at sea."

"That's it..."

Obe lowered his eyes.

Although she didn't spend as much time with Bourfat as Ossi did, and their bond wasn't as deep... the sudden death of someone she knew still deeply saddened her.

Looking back now, it seems that Osi must have awakened to his full god form under a state of far greater grief and anger than Osi himself...

"Whoo~"

Taking a breath, Obe composed himself and, seeing that Osi in front of him didn't react in any particular way, continued to ask:
"The child you brought back is...?"

"I don't know, I found it."

"Picked it up?"

"Ah."

Ossie nodded, indicating that the other person had heard correctly.

“He was thrown into the deep sea at the time, still clutching the golden feather that Sister La gave to the uncle… I guessed that he and the uncle might have some kind of relationship, so I brought him back.”

[So he's not Kaido's son after all~ It's strange how similar they look.]
"Hmm~ So what was with the way you acted when you came back?"

Obe asked again, wanting to know why Osie had to make such a big fuss when she came back, almost scaring the island's residents into jumping into the sea.

"That... because we need to bring back the remains of those guys as well."

Ossie gestured with her chin towards the dozens of people she had just buried.

"Moving so many people would be easier with that form. However, because I'm not very familiar with that form yet, I couldn't control it properly, and it made quite a big fuss."

Since this is only the second transformation, the Sky Dragon form's entrance weather effects and the passive skill Osei, which can move the soul with just one glance, are still unknown how to turn off.

Even in this form, she couldn't speak. The body structure of the dragon form was completely different from that of a human, and Osi tried many times but couldn't imitate human speech.

"Hmm. I see..."

Upon learning the truth, Obey finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Ra had said, Ossi not only escaped unharmed, but had also grown considerably.

"Speaking of which, you've already fully grasped your authority as the god of the underworld, haven't you?"

"Ah."

"Then could we try to revive him...?"

"No."

Before Obe could finish speaking, Osi abruptly interrupted him.

"..."

“Obe, I know what you want to say… but I can’t do that.”

Ossie's tone was soft and somewhat low.

"It is my duty to distinguish between life and death and to protect the world after death."

She looked at Obey, her holy eyes gleaming, and said with unprecedented seriousness:

"I will never allow anyone to trample on death."

"Whether it's you or me."
