"Boom!"
Rolling thunder resounded across the sky, and everyone's ears were filled with tinnitus.
"Ah... this is noisier than my concert!" Miku covered her ears, and the roar of thunder drowned out Miku's voice.
The color between heaven and earth seems to be only the blue current in the thunder clouds.
"This is no different from your previous Wan Lei." Esdeath said calmly: "No matter how large the attack range is, you can't defeat me with this move."
"Look at it!"
The thunderclouds gathering electric light have turned into a sea of thunder, and the black thunderclouds have turned into sapphire blue, with vague figures roaring inside.
"Ang!" This is the roar of the dragon.
"Roar!" This is the roar of the thunder beast.
"Chirp!" This is the cry of the phoenix!
Several animals stood in a position, roaring into the sky. The thunder and lightning creatures wrapped in black light all around, their bodies became increasingly white, and the electric charge in the sea of thunder became more boiling. The real God of Thunder was awakening——
"!" His heart was beating, and Esdeath suddenly had a bad premonition.
"iceberg!"
This is Esdeath's strongest defensive move. A huge iceberg hundreds of meters high rises from the ground, wrapping Esdeath tightly.
There was a momentary pause, and the thundercloud released a shining white light, which was like the core of a nuclear bomb explosion. It stung the eyes of everyone watching the thundercloud, and they quickly closed their eyes tightly.
Light is being released and thunder and lightning is roaring!
An extremely thick lightning beam covered half of the island. The dazzling light and deafening sound waves came from all directions, causing the island to collapse.
This blue-white light beam was like the thunder god's scepter falling from the sky.
When everyone on the Fearless saw this scene, it was as if they were seeing the real God of Thunder showing off his power. Fortunately, even the two sisters Kalenkana had experienced severe tests and would not kneel down to pray for God's forgiveness.
Under the shining light of this thunder pillar, the sky seemed dim, as if the entire dome was penetrated.
After dozens of seconds of bombardment, the size of the thunderclouds in the sky slowly decreased, and the thunder pillars gradually disappeared.
A huge mushroom cloud was then produced, and a lot of rock melted by high temperatures turned into magma and flowed on the ground.
Everyone outside the venue finally opened their eyes. The image left by the strong light still remained on their retinas, and the roar of thunder and lightning just now echoed in their ears.
A large piece of the originally high-lying battlefield was gouged out, and the scene looked like a small nuclear explosion, which made everyone feel frightened, but it was a good thing that the aftermath did not hit them.
Esdeath squatted half-crouched on the ground, her head lowered, and the long blue hair on her back spread on both sides of her face, making Eric unable to see her expression clearly.
But there was nothing wrong with her appearance, and [HeartNet]'s perception could still hear her strong heartbeat.
How could the invincible Esdeath be killed by Eric's blow after awakening his ability?
"A powerful move, but it's not enough - I win!"
Esdeath raised her head and showed a victorious smile, "I won't let you take action again, 'Mokobotemo'!"
"Suffer..." Before he finished speaking, Eric was wrapped in a blue halo. Time and space were frozen at that moment, and the scale of victory was already tilting towards Esdeath.
"Chi..." The sound of a sharp blade penetrating into flesh. The Western sword only penetrated part of the body, avoiding vital organs and penetrating into the muscles.
The smoke is dissipating, the lava is flowing again, and the breeze is blowing in your face.
Eric in front of him felt the pain of the stabbing, and the muscles on his face kept twitching.
Esdeath's right hand was stretched out straight, and the Western sword formed the same straight line as her arm.
A faint smile appeared on her face, and she said in a charming royal voice: "I won. It seems that I will be on top in the future."
"I know your 'Mokobotemo', so why don't I guard against your hand?" Eric in front of him spoke, but the voice came from above.
"I firmly believe that you will not be defeated by the 'Ning Shen Temple'! No one understands you better than me, Esdeath!"
"God's sanction!"
Before he finished speaking, the shrinking thundercloud rolled again, and a broad blue thunder column fell from the sky.
"!" Esdeath looked at Eric in front of the Western sword, holding the fire-pointed gun. The electric charge turned into blue and disappeared, and the fire-pointed gun fell to the ground with two "clang" sounds.
"Using a large-scale lightning strike to confuse the 'Seeing Color Haki', leaving behind a lightning clone. In order to be realistic, I also left the weapon with it, and then took the opportunity to hide in the thunder cloud..."
"You have grown up a lot, Eric..." Esdeath said slowly. Her beloved man had grown up to be able to stand on his own. She closed her eyes, opened her arms, and prepared to withstand Eric's lightning strikes. The corners of her mouth remained A faint smile.
The imaginary thunder pillar did not hit her body, and the burning pain did not sting her nerves.
The thunder stopped a short distance above Esdeath's head, and then dissipated.
Eric flashed in front of Esdeath and hugged her.
The pain he should have felt did not come, but instead he felt Eric's warm embrace.
Kuang San on the sidelines snorted heavily.
Chitong, who had always had a cute expression, clenched Murasame in her hand.
Eric's mouth came close to Esdeath's exquisite ears, "Can you freeze the last blow of God's sanction? Why do you have to bear it?"
"Hmph, being too soft-hearted towards the enemy is your weakness." Esdeath said dissatisfied: "And your moves won't do anything to me. At most, they will cause some burns."
"How can any man touch his own woman?"
Esdeath tightened her arms, "Then it looks like I didn't lose this battle."
"No, you have already lost to me in your heart." Eric said in an aggravated tone: "From now on, I will be on top."
"...Ha" Esdeath chuckled and nodded, "Yes, my king."
The short and long battle was over, but the thunderclouds in the sky were still striking downwards with lightning from time to time.
The two separated and walked toward the crowd outside the venue.
"Huh~" Mijiu's heart that had been hanging in the air finally dropped. It seemed that the man named Eric had won, so that he would not be beaten by that woman...
Just as she was thinking this, Esdeath glanced at her sympathetically.
"Hey!" Miku hid behind Kuang San, who was also an elf.
Wendy ran towards the two of them obediently, not seeing a single raised stone on the ground, and fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Wendy!" Heitong quickly went over to help her up.
"Are you OK?"
"Hey, hey, it's okay." Wendy sneered and dusted herself off.
"Wendy, you're still so careless."
"Brother Eric, Sister Esdeath, let me heal you."
"I'm not injured, just some physical exertion." Esdeath put her hand on Wendy's head, "Let's treat our captain."
"Yes!" Wendy agreed obediently and stretched out her hands towards Eric. A light cyan light appeared between her palms. The stinging sword wound on Eric's body began to itch and soon disappeared.
"Okay, that's amazing." Mijiu opened her eyes wide and saw that the long knife wound healed in the blink of an eye, leaving no scar.
Kuang San introduced: "Wendy is our ship's doctor. Although she is young, she is very capable."
"Then it's time to talk about you."
"Huh? My business?" Mijiu pointed at herself.
"That's right." Kuang San nodded and said, "You should understand that this world is far different from the world you were in before. Do you have any relatives in that world?"
Hearing this, Mijiu thought of her lost parents and shook her head in pain. Her slightly crying tone was heartbreaking, "I am the only one, and I only have my singing voice. Other things - I have nothing."
Kind-hearted Wendy heard the endless sorrow and pain in her words. She clasped the jade hand with white silk gloves and comforted: "Sister, I have also lost my companions and everything. But now, I have gained new companions who make me feel the warmth of home.”
"..."
Wendy softly invited: "Sister, would you like to join us? This family is extremely warm."
But Mijiu still shook her head slowly but firmly, "I once lost my voice because of psychological factors, because of those ugly men..."
"That's more important than my life, that voice!!"
"You must have men on board, I never want to see those creatures again!"
The monologue that revealed her true feelings made Miku shed tears.
He believed deeply in the words of his fans, only to be betrayed by them; then he was abandoned by the company he was supporting; and finally he was deceived by the so-called gods.
Whether it's disgust towards men or disappointment in the world.
She didn't want to trust anyone anymore.
"I once said that I will keep my word." Eric's words made Mijiu, who was crying, tremble.
"I said I was going to be okay and win - and I did."
"...Hiss" Mijiu raised her beautiful face, tears like pearls rolled down her fair face, and she sniffed heavily.
"You must know that I am a man of my word, so——"
"——I need your singing, and I will do everything possible to protect you. Can you join us?"
[Meijiu’s favorability increases, but the bond level remains unchanged. 】
"But, but just now, there were times when I couldn't make a sound..."
Esdeath rolled her eyes secretly.
Eric smiled and said solemnly: "What I want more is yours."
[Meijiu's favorability increases, the bond level increases from 2 (close friend) to 3 (trusted friend), and 2 points of bond are obtained. 】
"I do not know how to cook."
"It doesn't matter."
"I can't clean."
"It doesn't matter."
"I can only sing."
"We're in short supply of musicians like you."
[Meijiu’s favorability increases, but the bond level remains unchanged. 】
"And I will always be your fan and listen to you sing."
[Meijiu's favorability increases, the bond level rises from 3 (trusted friend) to 4 (inseparable friend), and 3 bond points are obtained. 】
'Thank you to Orange Company for writing clearly the preferences and strategy points of each elf. Thank you very much! '
"Hmph~" Mijiu swung her hands from side to side and snorted arrogantly, "Since you want to listen to my song so much, I will make an exception and join you."
"This is a benefit for my true fans~"
Wendy, who is still young, is very welcoming to the new companions, but only a genius can know what others are thinking.
"It's agreed, you have to protect me for the rest of your life, My Darling~"
"Da, huh?"
Miku jumped into Eric's arms, "Obviously, as long as you touch a man, even just a fingertip, you will have a distinct feeling of vomiting, but there is no problem at all if you touch Darling."
"Crack!" Veins popped up on Esdeath's and Kuang San's foreheads at the same time.
Chitong tried hard to stop trying to pull out Murasame's right hand.
"Well, so many people are watching..."
Miku immediately let go of Eric, and in order to relieve the tension and excitement, she hugged the petite Wendy tightly, saying, "It's so cute, thank you so much just now," while rubbing her wildly.
Wendy was not too disgusted with Miku's intimate behavior.
"Although I understand that you have a physique that hates men, there are still a few men on my ship..."
"I will be patient for Darling's sake, but please ask Darling to stop them from getting too close to me."
"I understand." Eric nodded.
…
As soon as we got back on the ship, everyone looked like, "Ah, I knew there would be new companions joining us." or "There's another beautiful girl, and the captain's hobbies are getting wider and wider."
"Well, this is the new companion, Miku Miku." Eric helped introduce her: "She has strong male phobia, so male companions should not get too close to her, or they will vomit."
Everyone looked at Mijiu's fingers, which were still grasping Eric's clothes, "You call this male fear?" '
But since it was the captain's order, no one had any objections, but it seemed that the newcomer Miku's eyes when she saw the male were indeed very much like looking at cockroaches.
But why did she look at the woman with eyes shining?
Later, Eric broke the news: "In addition, Mijiu prefers girls, so girls, please protect yourself..."
Everyone exclaimed: "Eh?!"
"Eh? Darling, how did you know?" Meijiu wondered: "Did I do anything too obvious before?"
"...In short, girls should protect themselves." Eric emphasized again.
"Ah——! Darling is really evil-minded. He just wants to spend one night before talking..." Mijiu muttered with regret on her face.
All the girls on the ship felt a chill. If they were attacked by Miku in the women's bathhouse...
Chiron, as a sage, saw that Miku did have some physical problems, and there was no problem; Lant, as a fish-man, had no thoughts about human women.
Ah Jin was full of admiration, "You can even straighten a lesbian, the captain is really amazing!" '
Apart from Genos being interested in becoming stronger, he has no feelings for women at all, not to mention that the current mechanical body does not have this function.
And Deidara is a bomber who only knows about artistic explosions. Women are not as interesting as mud in their hands.
But Esdeath was all smiles, "Come to my room, I'll leave the door open for you..."
"...!" Mijiu shivered from the fear in her heart. If she really went there, she might lose her life, and she might even take part in the one-day tour of Esdeath's torture chamber.
[Progress achieved: ship doctor and musician have been summoned, 1215]
