"Is that... a ghost ship?"
Reinette's pupils constricted. She had naturally heard of King of Immortality Agaritu's Death Knell, renowned across the Five Seas.
But although the ship before her was visually striking, upon closer examination, it did not carry the feeling of an Extraordinary item...
At that moment, Delasion took out an Extraordinary Characteristic.
It was the Extraordinary Characteristic of a Sequence Two Ancient Evil, originating from an angel of the Indulgence Faction. As for that person's name...
"That's Baranca's Extraordinary Characteristic?"
Reinette's eight pupils constricted in unison.
The manifested forms of Ancient Evils and the Extraordinary Characteristics they left behind after death were both related to the strange items they had used during their advancement. Thus, their personal styles were quite distinctive.
"Oh, his name was Baranca?"
Delasion frowned.
"Then, according to the naming conventions for Extraordinary items, shouldn't this ship be called the Silent Baranca? Forget it, Silent Mary sounds better. Let him change his name to Mary."
Reinette: "...?"
Was that really right?
"Leave it to me."
Hikari walked out of the cabin, accepted the Extraordinary Characteristic from Delasion, and raised a book in her other hand.
"As below, so above; as above, so below. Thus are Taiyi's miracles fulfilled."
Amid Hikari's lofty chant, Extraordinary power from the Wilds of Knowledge enveloped the Extraordinary Characteristic in her hand, transforming into a distorted torrent that flew forward and wrapped around the Silent Mary.
The Silent Mary's hull melted, twisted, expanded, and contracted within that power...
"All things were Taiyi, created from Taiyi through differentiation."
Under Hikari's control, the Silent Mary's form gradually stabilized. It was more than twice its original size, its nearly four-hundred-meter hull resting upon the sea like an ocean city.
"Is this still a fucking pirate ship?"
A question mark appeared above Delasion's head
