Truth be told, I had almost forgotten that I had brought Shallow Shallow with me when I set off. It was only after Tawil's report came to an end and I had nothing to do that I suddenly remembered. Oh right, I seemed to have brought the King of Threads with me …
Actually, I couldn't be blamed for feeling this way. Qian Qian was the same as Bryndis. She had come to join in the fun. As soon as the spaceship docked at the port, the first thing she did was to run away with those brats. Guess what she did?
She was leading a bunch of little girls to push rocks at the edge of the asteroid belt, as if she was still a child.
How was he supposed to associate her with this mission?
Nevertheless, this was also in line with her position at home. Usually, Qian Qian's biggest role at home was to accompany the crazy little girls. She used her passion, which was even stronger than that of a naughty child, to successfully become the leader of the children at home, establishing absolute authority over the little girls. With her in charge of taking care of the children, in fact, it also indirectly guaranteed that the group of little guys would be controllable. That was why I supported Shallow Shallow playing with the kids most of the time. Of course, another important reason was that I couldn't stop her …
I didn't take the shuttle, but used short-distance teleportation to the edge of the asteroid belt to meet up with Shallow Shallow and the rest. The group of crazy girls found an area with a lot of asteroids at the edge of the asteroid belt to serve as their temporary playground. It was there that I saw a scene filled with childlike innocence:
As expected, Little Crow was in her Crow Goddess form. She usually had to suppress her powers and move around in a mortal form. Now that she had finally found a spacious place, the first thing she did was to release her Crow Goddess form to get some fresh air. A giant crow with a wingspan of hundreds of meters was roaming around the asteroid belt, doing her favorite activity: picking up rocks.
The asteroids with a radius of a few meters to a dozen meters were just the right size for Little Crow. She could easily pick them up with her beak, or she could even rub her beak on them. In the weightless environment of space, the rocks that would float away with a touch excited Little Bird. She was trying to collect a bunch of asteroids of the same size to spell out her name in the air. If she could write, she would definitely succeed.
Liliana and Marionette were pushing two hill-sized asteroids in space, playing billiards for who knows how long. Little Bubble was floating around in space, collecting small pieces of asteroids. Then, she molded them into a variety of very regular shapes and transported them to a large, flat floating rock nearby. Visca was working on the floating rock. She used the materials that Little Bubble collected and mixed them with adhesives to build a castle. So far, she had completed four towers and three-quarters of the city wall. The castle was bigger than Neuschwanstein Castle. When Visca placed a rock that was bigger than Charley at the top of the last tower, Little Bubble excitedly flew around the tower a few times. Then, she solemnly took out a military flag from her dimensional pocket and placed it on the top of the tower. Then, the two girls started to go further away — at least a few hundred kilometers away — to collect rocks in preparation to expand their castle.
This was the first time I saw someone who could make the asteroid belt feel like a beach castle. Those naughty kids who could only dig a hole in front of the door, scoop up some soil, and make some mud pancakes on their faces were too weak!
"Ah Jun, Ah Jun, look at Visca and Little Bubble! They're pretty good, aren't they?"
Shallow Shallow teleported next to me and shouted excitedly through the mental link. Then, she pulled me to a nearby asteroid to "land" — although I didn't understand the meaning of stepping on an asteroid with negligible gravity in this gravity-free environment. I patted Shallow Shallow's head and watched her hair flutter in the gravity-free space. Then, I looked at the naughty kids who were having fun.
The little puppet and Liliana had been chasing each other for a while now, but she didn't look tired at all. The asteroid belt wasn't as densely packed as many people imagined it to be. In fact, there were very few areas where the asteroids were that concentrated. Most of the asteroid belt was very empty, and even in the areas where the asteroids were densely packed, the distance between two larger asteroids was usually a dozen kilometers or even a hundred kilometers (and that was when the asteroids were densely packed). Of course, there might be groups of smaller asteroids around the larger asteroids, but they were generally distributed in a very small area, so there was plenty of space for the two kids to play around. They used gravitational tractor beams to capture the nearest asteroids, and then hurled the mountain-sized asteroids at each other. At first, they simply pushed the asteroids from behind, but they soon realized that the tractor beams in their hands could be used as chains on a meteor hammer. So, they used spatial anchors to anchor themselves and began to use gravitational tractor beams to throw the large asteroids around in space. It was like throwing a hammer.
Dodging the opponent's asteroids, catching the opponent's asteroids, and throwing them back — this was basically how the two weird little girls played around.
But, be it Liliana or the puppet, their accuracy in using this high-tech equipment was rather poor. They were basically throwing asteroids within a two-hundred-kilometer radius, and if you were to look at them from afar, you would only see the asteroids in that area crashing into each other as if they were having a stroke. The asteroid belt had been turned into an oriental city by the two kids. Anyway, I was on tenterhooks watching from the side. I wasn't afraid that they would really get hit by the asteroids, but I was worried that the two kids would hit the castle that Little Bubble and Visca had just built. The castle was built on a large asteroid, and even though it looked like a pile of broken rocks, I had a feeling that if it got smashed, Visca and Little Bubble wouldn't be able to rest for the rest of the day …
If Phyllis was there, she would definitely sigh. "The children of the immortals are really good at fighting."
"By the way, why are they fighting this time?" I turned to look at Shallow Shallow and asked through the mental link. The "war" between Lina and Marionette had become a daily occurrence. Even now, I was too lazy to try and stop them from fighting. Even though their fights had escalated from hair pulling and ears pulling to throwing grenades and plasma bombs at each other, and today, it even escalated to a celestial body collision, I was still too lazy to try and stop them … In any case, they were both SemiGods, and this little bit of fighting wouldn't cause them any harm at all.
More importantly, the relationship between Liliana and Lamp was actually not as bad as it seemed. They might fight, but deep down, they were still a family … probably.
Shallow Shallow rolled her eyes and recalled for a moment. Then, she pointed at the puppet who was throwing a dozen asteroids at Liliana in a meteor shower. "Liliana found Lamp and said, 'Let's fight for fun?' Lamp nodded and said, 'Okay.' So, the two of them started throwing asteroids at each other."
Me: "… Did the relationship between the two of them finally evolve into such a strange state!?"
Just as I sighed, I saw the meteor shower thrown by the puppet finally hit its target. Liliana failed to deflect the projectile and was hit in the face. She let out a soundless cry of surprise in the vacuum, and then waved her arms and legs as she was smashed into space along with a large pile of debris.
The meteor that hit Liliana's face was as big as half a basketball court, and its structure was weak. After it hit Liliana's face, it broke into at least two hundred pieces. I had two thoughts. First, these two would definitely fight until the end of the day, and second, Liliana's face was really easy to defend. Her armor was at least six digits.
At this time, Little Bubble and Visca, who had run off to look for "building materials", finally returned. They were pleasantly surprised to find that there were many more pieces of asteroids in space, and they felt that there was hope for their castle expansion. However, I was even more shocked at the building materials that these two little girls found hundreds of kilometers away. They were each carrying a space boulder that was taller than the Burj Khalifa. These were the "small rocks used to build a beach castle" that the two little girls found. To be honest, at first, I thought these two asteroids floated over by themselves. After all, the ratio of Little Bubble and Visca on the surface of the asteroids was no bigger than a Jingle on Zeus' head. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it …
Little Bubble and Visca carefully placed the two asteroids that were taller than the Burj Khalifa near their "construction site". After comparing the sizes, the two little girls realized that they needed to be cut, or else they wouldn't be easy to use if they were too big. At first, I thought that Visca would take out something like a laser cutter, but this little girl's actions shocked me once again. She waved at her "castle", and a reluctant Pandora flew out. The two sisters communicated with each other, and Pandora expressionlessly flew to the center of the asteroid, and smashed it with her head. In an instant, the asteroid was smashed into several pieces. After that, Pandora smashed the two asteroids into small pieces with her head. Visca and Little Bubble happily continued to build their big house. A few hundred meters away, I was hit by Pandora's head, and my face was bloody and messy.
"They discussed that they couldn't use advanced technology," Shallow Shallow explained to me. "Visca suggested that they build a castle purely by hand. The base of the castle that you saw was made by Pandora with her head …"
I was dumbfounded. "… Ah?"
Looking at the little girls using all kinds of high-end methods to show that "the children of immortals play games differently," I felt that it was a miracle that my worldview was still normal. But I also felt a little gratified. Pandora was an awkward person who rarely took the initiative to relax. She would only reluctantly participate in those "childish, childish, mischievous, and time-wasting" games when she was forced to do so by her little sister. For example, she was currently using her head to build a castle … Even though her expression was as blank as ever, I could still feel that Pandora's heart was fluctuating with joy. And if it wasn't for the fact that she was also very happy, with her stubbornness, she would never participate in such activities.
I was also very happy that this battle-crazed, mute loli could relax occasionally.
Of course, more importantly, her fatal head hammer could finally find a place to use it outside of my stomach. Looking at the asteroids that Pandora had smashed with her head, I felt my stomach cramping up …
"It's a pity that Little Crystal isn't interested in this." I checked the situation in my own mind and discovered that Alaya was hugging a certain small glowing "daughter" who was sleeping soundly. I felt a little regretful. Apart from Pandora, who was a special loli who couldn't even be considered a "child", the quietest girl in the entire family who didn't have any sense of existence was actually the little girl who was always together with Alaya in my personal world. Although she would occasionally come out to play for a while, most of the time, Little Crystal would quickly lose interest in the physical world. Her playfulness always came and went quickly. Most of the time, she would rather sleep in the mind world or learn some strange things from Alaya, such as how to maintain her wings. Alaya always believed that Little Crystal would one day grow wings like Anveena, just like how Anveena believed that she could learn how to lay eggs.
I didn't express my opinion on this. Anveena and Alaya had the same kind of natural silliness. I had long since given up on correcting the two of them.
"Ah Jun, when our children are born, do you think they'll be as lively as them?" Shallow Shallow suddenly leaned over to me. The girl's lazy voice sounded in our mind connection. However, the content of her words wasn't lazy at all. As expected of Shallow Shallow, Shallow Shallow lived up to her name. It wasn't strange for her to jump to any topic. Looking at the group of mischievous brats who were wreaking havoc in the asteroids, Shallow Shallow immediately thought of giving birth to one of them and playing with them.
The first thing I thought of was Xiaoxue. She was the most daring and reckless brat I had ever met. She even dared to make fun of the Fallen Apostle. Xiaoxue, Xiaoqian, and Xiaoshan. Putting aside my ability to come up with names, there was no need to doubt the destructive power of these three crazy brats. They were the future core members of the Princess' Alliance, the famous Schilling Protoss, the Third Princess. How could their battle prowess be a joke? Putting everything else aside, it was said that Xiaoqian's power of time played a leading role in Xiaoxue's ability to travel through space and time to come here …
Thinking of this, I nodded at Shallow Shallow with determination. "I can't guarantee anything else, but our children will definitely be invincible in terms of vitality. I believe in your genes …"
Shallow Shallow thought for a while and raised another question. "Ah Jun, you said that we aren't really humans anymore, right? Does our children have anything to do with genes? Also, according to what Sandora said, as a Void Creature, your genes aren't passed down from your ancestors … "
I wiped off the sweat on my forehead. "It's probably because of the Void Creature's information disturbance. That thing seems to be the Void Creature's' genes'."
Shallow Shallow thought for a while, but her question wasn't over yet. "Ah Jun, do you think I'll be pregnant for ten months? I'm afraid that it'll be troublesome to speed up the fetus. I'm not sure if it'll work … "
I was on the verge of tears. "Shallow Shallow, why are all of your questions so high-powered today?"
You see, when I communicate with Qian Qian, there's always an undercurrent surging. You'll never know where the thoughts in her head come from. Although I'm happy when I'm with her, it doesn't stop her from exhausting me mentally and physically with just a few sentences from her …
I hurriedly changed the topic before Shallow Shallow could drag me into researching whether the Void Creature's DNA was passed down from my ancestors. The two of us started to research whether the castle that Visca and Little Bubble built was Neuschwanstein Castle or Constantinople. Shallow Shallow was leaning towards Constantinople, while I felt that the two of them were simply stacking all sorts of rocks as high as possible. That pile of rocks didn't even look like a building anymore. Pandora was dragged along by Visca to process the asteroids. Other than using her head, she also used her fists and flying kicks. Of course, she also tried to use sticky bombs and hand cannons, but was stopped by Visca. Fortunately, the latter decided to build the house purely by hand from the start. Otherwise, Shallow Shallow and I would have to pay attention to prevent Pandora from bombarding the asteroid belt.
Of course, even though we were having a lot of fun, the little ones knew the most important thing: We couldn't destroy asteroids that might contain materials from our homeland. Little Bubble and Pandora both had scanning abilities. They would pay attention to prevent asteroids that contained materials from our homeland from being dragged into this area … Yep, at least Pandora would pay attention to avoid such a situation. As for Little Bubble …
I looked at Little Bubble, who was working hard to flatten an iron-rich asteroid. I thought that she probably, probably, probably also had the radar that was used to scan for materials from our homeland.
Just as I was wondering how much Little Bubble, who didn't seem to have matured over the past four years, had matured in her thinking, Liliana and the puppet finally returned. The meteorite war between these two little ones must have spread quite far. After Liliana was smashed away by the meteor shower, the two of them chased her to a place that I could sense was quite far away. Optimistically, it was at least a dozen astronomical units away from here. Although I didn't follow them to see, I felt that the two little girls must have fought fiercely. This could be seen from their current hairstyles and dirty appearance.
Fortunately, there were no intelligent civilizations in this galaxy. Otherwise, do you know how much panic would be caused by two little girls swinging asteroids around in space? Optimistically, the two of them would either be regarded as UFOs or as gods descending from the heavens.
The latter was more likely.
"Boss Boss Boss Boss!!!!"
Just when I thought that the two little ones were ready to continue fighting, I heard a series of irritated shouts from Liliana in the mental connection. She charged towards me like a cannonball and stopped two meters away from me before I kicked her away. "We found … we found something incredible!!"
"Calm down, calm down. How old are you? Why are you still so careless? You're not even as steady as the puppet." I stood up and helped Liliana with her bird 's-nest head. From her head and clothes, I patted at least two kilograms of iron-rich slag out. Then, I turned around to clean up the similarly dirty puppet. The latter was slightly cleaner than Liliana, but she was twisting her body awkwardly, trying to scratch a small area in the middle of her back as if it was itching.
"There's something in the keyhole," said the little puppet as it twisted its head around with a sad face.
This was really a troublesome factor that others couldn't replicate …
"What did you guys find?"
Due to Liliana's noisy personality and unreliable way of conveying information, I turned to the puppet and used a pair of tweezers to dig out a stone from her keyhole.
It was really troublesome without gravity. If this was on Earth, I would have hugged the lamp and swung it back and forth. Basically, this was how I dealt with the things that got into her keyhole. Except for the water that got in, it worked …
"There are ruins, corpses, especially big, like a grave," the puppet said with a trembling voice while trying to control her body to not twist around. "That green idiot said it might be ancestor Schilling's … Wah! It's so itchy! "
My hand trembled and I quickly pulled out the tweezers and held the puppet in front of me. "What did you say?!"
