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

Chapter 330 World Line Variation Rate
Rai approached these scholars from Ohara with genuine interest and goodwill.

Not only because they were Wright's former colleagues or teachers, but also because of the work these people are currently doing in exploring the history of this world.

There's a gap in the history of this world, or rather, the events that occurred between nine hundred and eight hundred years ago have been deliberately obscured. Like the publicly released assassination file of that eccentric, cheerful boy... basically, not a single useful clue has been revealed.

Of course, this is not a big deal for the people of this world.

Because most of them don't care about history at all, and even the drunks in the tavern wouldn't use it as a topic of conversation when they were chatting.

In this world where freedom and adventure reign supreme, people are more interested in breaking news from the high seas… As for dull and boring history, only equally dull and boring historians would bother with it.

And La just happens to be one of those bored people.
It was precisely because of boredom that Ra noticed the strangeness of the very act of "erasing history."

As the old saying goes: 'History is just a little girl who can be dressed up however one pleases.'
Those who want to tarnish history have a better option—to dress up this 'obedient little girl' as they wish...

But they chose to lock it in a coffin and sink it to the bottom of the sea, as if they didn't want anyone to find it.

This is very intriguing.

What are those people afraid of that they would do something so obvious as to cover it up?
Did he secretly alter the imperial edict? Imprison his father and murder his brother? Or kill his nephew from afar?

In short, no matter what happened back then, hundreds of years have passed, and the pen is still in their hands... Why don't they take advantage of this long period of time to gradually distort history into what they want it to be?
This is clearly a more effective and permanent solution than simply banning that period of history outright. Besides, distorting the truth isn't exactly a technically difficult task, is it?
As a victor in power, this should be considered a basic skill.

But they chose the most direct and foolish method: they just kept it covered and wouldn't let anyone see it, threatening to kill anyone who did.

As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on, so La guessed that the history of those hundred years might not be some 'little girl who can be dressed up however she wants,' but some big blond vampire.

Once this thing reappears, and then it pulls some kind of possession, substitution, or secret code, those guys living high on the Red Earth might all be going to heaven with it.

Thinking about this, La found things were getting interesting.

When the long-buried history is made public, the world will inevitably undergo earth-shattering changes... This is what she wants to see.

Yes, Ra is looking forward to the world being thrown into chaos.

……

After years of continuous exploration, Ra has actually found the external forces that can influence the Millennium Puzzle.

I remember the first unusual movement of the Millennium Puzzle was during the time when Kaido led his men to attack Beehive Island.

At the time, she was not sure, only that after that anomaly, the black mist covering the doors inside the blocks that connected to other worlds thinned out.

Then came the rise of Beasts Heavy Industries, the founding of Totto Land, the fall of 'World Destroyer' Bondy Wald, and the establishment of the Seven Warlords system...

It seems that whenever a major event occurs that can attract the world's attention, the Millennium Puzzle located within Ra will exhibit some degree of unusual activity.

You might not be able to figure out the pattern after one or two times, but after it happens a lot, even Ossie can guess the connection between them.

Thus, a hypothesis gradually took shape in Ra's mind—the worldline rate of change resonance hypothesis.

That is, when the world line of the world outside the Millennium Puzzle fluctuates, this fluctuation is transmitted to the world inside the Puzzle.

Or to put it more simply, the 'world' will influence the 'world'.

When a disturbance occurs in the world outside the Millennium Puzzle that is enough to affect the course of the world, the energy generated by this disturbance of the world lines will be absorbed by the Millennium Puzzle itself, thus becoming an aid to break through to other worlds.

This is somewhat similar to the 'space-time power' needed by a certain amusement park when traveling between worlds. Unfortunately, it seems that this kind of work of manipulating world lines can only be done by the locals of this world. If Ra, who is deeply bound to the Millennium Puzzle itself, and Oce and Obe intervene, it will be impossible to produce this kind of 'space-time power'.

Ra once tried it, in that direct confrontation with the Warring States period.

In that incident, she personally intervened to manipulate this piece, which held considerable weight on the world chessboard... but the result was that the Millennium Puzzle gave no response whatsoever, not even the slightest bit.

She seemed to be separated from this world by a dimensional barrier; as an outsider, she could not directly cause effective fluctuations in this world.

Just like even if your punch, summoned in an attack stance, kills the duelist, it won't reduce their LP by a single point.

Otherwise, Rajen might try to emulate the story of a certain cosmic emperor by directly detonating this planet to see how much 'spacetime power' it would generate, and whether it would be enough to find her way back.

……

Well, of course, this is just a joke.

In fact, having already found a solution, La was no longer in a hurry.

It's not that she doesn't want to go back as soon as possible, but in her view, it's far more unrealistic than rushing through countless unknown worlds to find her original world and then hoping that the 'time flow of the two worlds' is the same, or that the point of return is exactly the moment she traveled back...

Rather than pinning your hopes on such a negligible probability, it's better to wait until you're confident enough to proceed.

La could vaguely sense that when she could make the power belonging to the creator god within her body as easy as her own, she would have the power to drag the progress bar.

She can go back whenever she wants.

So for now, La is still indirectly driving change in the world little by little with a relaxed and go-with-the-flow attitude.

For example, when the mood strikes, you can research a gap in history... or something like that.

"I personally welcome everyone to visit and exchange ideas with us at Beast."

Seeing that the Ohara people looked somewhat unnatural for some reason, Rafa extended a friendly invitation.

"Um, this..."

"that……"

Some people's eyes began to dart around frantically, while others simply lowered their heads, showing no intention of engaging with the person in front of them.

It's like being a student on the first day of vacation who gets a chance to recite a text by their homeroom teacher...

Are you kidding? That's the Beasts Pirates' stronghold! Rumors say that the core of that pirate crew isn't made up of a single normal human; they're all scaly, feathered monsters that eat human flesh and drink human blood...

Everyone avoided this, but Dr. Clover hesitated for a long time before finally deciding that he couldn't let go of Wright and wanted to see his student, whom he had lost and found again, with his own eyes.

"..."

"...Alas~"

"Since you put it that way, Miss La, I will definitely visit you when I have the chance. I'll be troubling you then."

"You're welcome. I think Wright will be looking forward to your visit."
