Chapter 511: Immortal Body Not Yet Formed, Immortal Framework Initially Revealed

"Then let's go take a look——"

Vivian looked at him, then gently blinked her eyes, and spoke with a calm expression.

At the same time, her slender fingers lifted lightly, putting away the jade slip on the table.

"Mm, then let's go up and have a look."

Xia Zhi smiled faintly.

He also took the opportunity to stand up, and then walked toward the deck together with the girl.

………………

………………

——Naglfar the Ship.

——This symbol of the end in Norse mythology was originally not a vessel very suitable for living and daily life.

Prophecy foretold that this Underworld great ship, during the Twilight of the Gods, would sail from the East with the surging floodwaters to Vígríðr, transporting masses of assembled armies.

Including the giants of Jötunheimr, the people of Muspelheim, and the giant wolf Fenrir.

And the giant snake Jörmungandr followed winding along the waves.

As for the Gods of Asgard, they would board the magic ship of Freyr, the Norse God of Harvest——Skíðblaðnir, to go confront them.

So to speak……

This Underworld great ship appears to be the kind directly used for the full mobilization of a massive army, heading straight for the final battlefield, a deadly purpose where the first battle is the decisive battle.

Such a war weapon destined by fate naturally cannot be called a habitable place.

However——

This ship is both Naglfar, and not purely Naglfar.

Added to that, since setting sail until now, it has naturally been systematically transformed by all sorts of magecraft, Mystery, power…… and so on.

Its predecessor as a material main body was an Item belonging exclusively to Othinus, the so-called "Bone Ship".

Just like the "Arbalest" held by that Magic God girl, it is a Spiritual Item that only Othinus has used, unrelated to Odin.

Its appearance looks like a straight bone very suitable for a dog to hold in its mouth.

Using this simple carrier shaped like a dog-holding long bone as a Soul Vessel, granted the mythological concept of the Norse Underworld ship by Xia Zhi's hand, it ultimately achieved the positioning of a Pseudo Noble Phantasm.

In terms of compatibility and mythological system, this is indeed a very suitable approach.

The Norse Main God should wield the Norse Underworld great ship……

Cough cough, as for this ship actually symbolizing the "Twilight of the Gods" or whatever, that's not very important.

After all——

Just as Othinus can represent Odin, but Odin cannot represent Othinus, this kind of thing originally cannot be weighed down to the last detail.

So, this gigantic ship, like a black moving mountain range on the sea surface……

The interior is now completely a Cave Heaven.

Daily living, a Complete Set.

Even those especially modernized measures and equipment are so, from gym to multi-function hall, from reading room to outdoor swimming pool.

To the extent of even including ski resort, climbing wall, high-altitude bungee jumping…… and so on and so forth.

Only the unthinkable, nothing it does not possess.

The exterior is a black moving mountain range on the sea surface, the famous Ship of the Dead, in reality it is simply a super-luxury cruise ship.

And due to being overly gigantic, belonging to a scale humans simply cannot imagine.

Theoretically speaking——

It can even make an Ordinary Person fundamentally unaware that they are living on a great ship.

In fact it is indeed so, when even the sky dome can be perfectly presented, when sunlight and air appear this real, who would think they are inside some enclosed space?

——If willing, Xia Zhi could even remodel the interior into the layout of giant cities……

——Then create high-level Artificial Intelligence, acting as simulated citizens, guaranteed to make Miss Haruhi linger and forget to return……

Only, regarding this idea, it can be adopted later.

Because right now, Miss Haruhi is already very satisfied, one could say she is having a blast on the ship.

At least for the moment, her point of interest still lies in the matter of a super-luxury cruise ship exclusively enjoyed by a mere few people, and has not shifted away yet.

This is a piece of Good News……

So at least before she gets bored, Xia Zhi doesn't plan to hurriedly throw out the next playstyle.

After all, Miss Haruhi is a woman who is very easy to handle, but simultaneously a woman who is very hard to handle……

Because this Goddess is addicted to the game of roleplaying an ordinary JK playing house, whether consciously or unconsciously, she doesn't really like to actively release that power beyond what human intelligence can understand.

From this point of view, she is very easy to satisfy.

When it comes down to it, they are all mundane world matters…… in this aspect Xia Zhi dare not say he is omniscient and omnipotent, all-seeing and all-creating.

Yet there are also almost no things he cannot accomplish.

However, although Miss Haruhi's demands are not high, she demands a lot.

And she is undoubtedly a person who likes the new and tires of the old, with a three-minute heat temperament.

Therefore, to make Miss Haruhi cooperate obediently, one must prescribe the right remedy in this aspect, stimulate her interest and enthusiasm as much as possible, so that she always experiences a sense of novelty.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to utilize various different playstyle ideas to the maximum extent.

"Just a few days ago I saw her frolicking here, so quickly she seems to have lost interest in skiing……"

When passing by the Indoor Ski Resort, gazing at the steep mountain ranges of this area and that perennial unmelted Kai Kai Snow, the youth couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"……"

"……"

"She likes fishing now, so this might last a bit longer……"

Vivian also sized her up, then spoke softly.

In these past few days, the girl could also often see that seemingly ordinary, energetic high school girl running up to the deck to fish.

For this, Xia Zhi even had to specially forge a set of special fishing gear for her.

——The fishing line can manipulate "Distance"……

——The fishing rod can save the user's strength……

Otherwise, fishing from such a high deck down to the sea surface simply isn't realistic.

Let alone the strength to reel the fish up.

Anyway, Haruhi definitely doesn't have such developed biceps, nor physical strength powerful enough to nearly overturn the laws of physics……

It doesn't exist in her cognition.

It's also that she "feels" she can't do it, or shouldn't be able to do it.

As for the rest……

There's nothing more.

Anyway, Xia Zhi didn't add any "skip the fishing mini-game" function to the fishing rod; whether she can catch fish still depends on Haruhi's own ability.

This is also to prolong the freshness period as much as possible; after all, the magic of fishing lies in this. If every time she casts the line and pulls it up she catches a fish……

Then Haruhi definitely wouldn't find it interesting, and it would be even more impossible for her to become obsessed.

She would only lose interest faster, losing her enthusiasm.

Although the sounds coming from the deck sounded close just now, it still took a good while for the two to slowly walk over.

The distance in between was even enough to cross most of a city.

"Hey! Why are you so slow!"

Upon reaching the deck, the energetic high school girl hurriedly crowded forward, speaking with clear displeasure and a hint of hating-iron-not-becoming-steel.

"Aren't we coming together? Why don't you say that to Vivian?" Xia Zhi immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, can Vivian and you be the same?"

The Team Leader hmphed twice.

Although I don't know the situation, from the looks of it now, she seems to get along quite well with Vivian.

Mm, and Othinus too.

At least not like Ishtar's other Phase——Filia——always holding her breath wanting to compete with the Norse Main God, wanting to win back a round or something.

"Alright alright, come look quickly over there, that should be the coastline!"

Haruhi was clearly a bit anxious, forcefully dragging Xia Zhi to the deck railing at the side, pointing toward the distant end of the sea.

Sea of Nothingness……

A stretch of dead silence……

Looking out, all four directions are an undisturbed sea level.

The undisturbed here isn't a description, but a simple statement.

No wind, no ocean currents, like a pool of stagnant water, except this pool is too vast, vast to the point of seemingly far exceeding the sum of all oceans on Earth……

——Even to an immeasurable degree.

It's just that the Team Leader hasn't noticed this; after all, she just feels she's been on the ship for a period of time, and all the scenery seen along the way has been like this.

Even though she hasn't reached the point of boredom yet, she's still overjoyed and leaping with joy because she's seeing a coastline appear in the distance for the first time.

"Let me see——"

Xia Zhi very cooperatively let Haruhi pull him over, then narrowed his eyes halfway, looking toward the distant horizon where sea meets sky.

"Right right, is it land!"

"It does look like a continent."

"What place is that? Any special features?"

"How would I know?"

"……"

"……"

"Eh?" Letting out a surprised, confused syllable, the Team Leader stared at him with a face full of disbelief: "You don't know?"

"Is it strange that I don't know?" The youth answered just as righteously.

"Hey, then we're just aimlessly drifting on the sea? Drifting wherever we end up?" Haruhi widened her eyes, looking at him in disbelief.

"That's right, our voyage is exactly like this."

Xia Zhi's answer was still that righteous.

"……"

"……"

"What place is that?"

Vivian didn't pay attention to those two's daily bickering, but lightly walked to the bow over there.

There, the fair-skinned girl with the appearance of thirteen or fourteen, was standing quietly, her long wavy golden hair and open-fronted cloak moving without wind.

Hearing this, the girl turned her head back to look, then also shook her head.

"It should be a new world——"

"I sensed different laws and constants."

"……"

"World (Star)?" Vivian lightly raised an eyebrow.

"No, it is a new world, the extension of the material spacetime of another universe." The fair-skinned, single-eyed girl spoke calmly.

"Another universe……"

Vivian's gaze instantly sharpened, "This kind of thing…… is it also because of Miss Suzumiya?"

"I also don't know how it was done, but I feel that in this process, the role she played was merely connecting the boundaries through this sea……"

Othinus blinked.

In that single beautiful eye of hers, a light of interest faintly flickered.

"He should have found some method to stabilize the path to the Outer Universe Domain……"

"As it looks now, that landmass is a strange continent appearing on the Sea of Nothingness, but when we step onto it, we are actually entering the boundary of that universe's spacetime……"

"Mm, I still find it very hard to understand things at your level……" The fairy girl of Paradise lightly furrowed her brows: "But this shouldn't be something that can be easily accomplished, right?"

"emmmmm……"

The fair-skinned, single-eyed girl pondered slightly, then gently shook her head: "I can't really evaluate it either……"

"After all, as long as this avatar of mine hasn't brought back the intelligence on the Outer Universe Domain……"

"Then even my main body's power is limited within a single entity universe……"

"Although he is also walking the Magic God Path, he cannot be entirely lumped together, because from the start, he was not restricted……"

"He is a complex existence spanning the multiverse……"

Speaking here, the Magic God girl paused slightly, casting a meaningful look toward someone over there.

"Just like right now——"

"His road has not yet reached that endpoint envisioned with reference to the Mo Shu Shu, but he has already begun to grasp the essence of Magic God power to a limited degree……"

"Immortal Body not yet formed, Immortal Nature initially manifest."

………………

(Waiting for further detection results, every day is a bit hard to endure…… （；д｀）ゞ)
