Chapter 1153: The Magical Cruise Ship

Morning.

Faint sunlight streamed through the narrow porthole, landing on Lin Qiye's cheek. His eyelids fluttered slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

After his conversation with Gilgamesh last night, he had left the Asylum of the Gods and quickly fallen into sleep. Without realizing it, he had dozed off against the wall until daybreak.

Lin Qiye checked the time, freshened up briefly, then opened his door and walked straight toward the bow of the ship.

Although the sun had just risen, there were already quite a few Oath Society members busy on the deck. Lin Qiye scanned his surroundings and, as expected, didn't see Jinian's figure.

She had said yesterday that she had something important to do over the next three days and wouldn't appear... He wondered what exactly it was?

"Qiye."

A voice came from behind. An Qingyu, with Jiang Er floating beside her, crossed the deck and came to his side.

"Why are you up so early too?" Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.

"He didn't sleep at all last night." Jiang Er couldn't help but complain. "He spent the entire night studying this cruise ship, along with some speedboats, escape vessels, the control room, and all the other facilities on board."

Lin Qiye suddenly understood. "You went sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

"I was just looking around, not sneaking." An Qingyu spoke with perfect righteousness. "And while I was analyzing it, I found several system flaws and fixed them for them."

"Did you find anything?"

"...It's incredible." An Qingyu couldn't help but say,

"This ship, and 98% of everything on it, are all composed of pixel blocks of varying sizes. I can't figure out the principle behind how these pixel blocks are constructed, but they seem to possess a miraculous power—they can perfectly construct anything while ignoring macroscopic physics..."

"So her ability is like building with LEGO pixels?"

"..."

An Qingyu gave Lin Qiye a complicated look. "If you want to put it that way, there's nothing wrong with it... But it's definitely not as simple as you're thinking. In any case, this is the most incredible ability I've seen so far!"

Lin Qiye's eyebrows rose slightly.

He had witnessed Jinian's ability to handcraft a McLaren and cannons firsthand. From a visual perspective, this ability didn't seem particularly powerful—certainly not reaching the level of a God's Ruins. But if An Qingyu could give it such a high评价, then this ability definitely had some extraordinary aspects.

Lin Qiye was about to say something when his gaze suddenly focused. He turned to look toward the direction the bow was heading, his eyes narrowing.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Qiye's expression shift, An Qingyu asked, confused.

"Twenty kilometers out, two sea 'Mysticals' have locked onto this ship and are heading this way." Lin Qiye said calmly. "Based on their realms, one is 'Klein' and the other is 'Boundless'."

"There are 'Mysticals' attacking?" An Qingyu nodded. "That's normal. Such a massive cruise ship sailing through the sea would definitely attract the attention of other 'Mysticals'..."

Lin Qiye looked around and stopped a Oath Society member who was just about to leave the deck.

"Excuse me." It was a tall, well-built Black woman, apparently of African descent. She was politely stopped by Lin Qiye and asked, "May I help you?"

"You've been targeted by 'Mysticals'." Lin Qiye warned.

"'Mysticals'?"

"They're eighteen kilometers away right now. At their speed, they'll collide with your hull very soon."

The Black woman looked at Lin Qiye with surprise. "Eighteen kilometers?"

After a moment of hesitation, she instinctively looked up at the top of the cruise ship. Barely five seconds after she spoke, blinding red light burst forth from the warning lights atop the ship, and at the same time, a low humming sound began reverberating through every corner of the vessel.

"Indeed, something's coming." The Black woman's expression flickered with surprise, then settled back to calm. She turned and said,

"Thank you for the warning. Please, our guests, return to your cabins to rest. The deck may become a bit unsafe."

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Alright."

As the low humming grew louder, the Black woman quickened her pace toward the cabin interior. The other Oath Society members on the deck also calmly walked back inside, as if this was something they were already used to.

"This ship also has special equipment capable of large-scale detection." An Qingyu explained as they walked toward the cabin. "Because it's built from pixels, the detection range differs from conventional radar—it should only be sixteen kilometers. But being able to use electronic equipment in the mist is already quite impressive.

Moreover, the warning humming here is also a special frequency sound. While human ears can hear it clearly, 85% of 'Mysticals' cannot perceive it. Otherwise, releasing such loud, shrill noise in the mist would probably attract even more 'Mysticals'."

The two of them stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the cabin, gazing at the hazy mist ahead of the bow. Lin Qiye spoke in amazement:

"This ship is that impressive?"

"What's impressive isn't the ship itself, but the engineers who designed it and Jinian, the president, who built it." An Qingyu pointed at the ground beneath them. "Such a massive, complex giant vessel capable of sailing through the mist— not just anyone could design something like this. Behind the Oath Society, there must be an extremely top-tier research team covering every field."

Just as they were speaking, the ship trembled slightly. The wide surface of the deck actually began to sink, and quickly, three sturdy gray pixel gun barrels were raised high.

The caliber of these pixel gun barrels was变态—each muzzle was the size of a two-story house. Two of the gun barrels began automatically turning toward the hazy mist, as if locking onto something.

BOOM—!!

Three seconds later, two thick crimson beams of light instantly shot into the mist and vanished.

Lin Qiye seemed to sense something, his eyebrows rising slightly.

The cruise ship advanced slowly across the sea. After a while, on the sea surface on both sides of the ship, two massive "Mystical" corpses bobbed up and down in the bloody waters—one Klein and one Boundless. Both had been killed by a single shot from the pixel cannons.

After confirming the kills, the Oath Society members unhurriedly walked onto the deck and began maintaining the three pixel gun barrels. Lin Qiye and An Qingyu also stepped out of the cabin.

"Excuse me." An Qingyu stopped a Oath Society member, giving a shy smile.

He pointed toward the two floating "Mystical" corpses by the ship's side.

"I'm sorry... Could I take these two 'Mystical' corpses? Can I pack them up?"
