The Base Realm has both magic and miasma, and both of these phenomenon are interdependent on one other. Using magic produces miasma as a side product, and vice versa for miasma. The natives of this realm refer to both of these powers as 'Profound Energy', and one needs to guess whether it means magic or miasma. For example, when a Druid and a Devil talk about their Profound Energy, the former is referring to magic, while the latter to miasma.

The Ocean, the Fairy Ship.
"Leave this to me." a calm voice echoed throughout the deck, and several soldiers turned their heads. Their eyes glistened when they heard that as they remembered the mysterious duo's performance against Mega Groot and the Vampires.
Claire, Yun Bao and her four juniors looked at the couple who had just arrived and had complicated expressions. Claire remembered the day she had meet them for the first time. They had multiple holes over their clothes and were very ignorant about the world. She suddenly realized one thing- their speed of progress was too fast !
"Are you confident ?" Yun Bao asked worriedly. Her furrowed brows below her crown made her look elegant. Param just walked ahead and waved his hand in style.
"Leave this to me." he said again, thinking that he might have looked cool.
"Humph ! Show off."
Madhu spoke softly but was heard by many soldiers. Param nearly staggered when he heard that.
The three sea monsters glared at the newcomer and one of them roared and dashed forward. Param stood still and loudly shouted.
"Activate !"
The logic gates in the Eternal Module surged in action and performed innumerable calculations. Numerous commands were sent to various parts of the body, performing actions like strengthening, boosting, optimizing and filtering, among many others. The energy in the Root Chakra swirled wildly and released tremendous amounts of energy, which was properly guided through numerous complex energy passages and acupoints. at the end they were absorbed into the various minor chakras on his hands and legs and activated different abilities.
Gravitational power surged beneath his legs and he was rooted on the spot. At the same time a blue glow covered with hexagon patterns appeared on his hands. His eyes looked normal, but his brain was overclocked at his vision slowed down. He could see the sea monster slowly moving towards him with his huge open mouth. It's mouth was filled with many tooth and he could even see some meat stuck between them.
He punched after predicting the path of the sea monster. It was a heroic moment, and the time regression effect made it even better. The punch almost broke the speed of sound and hit the huge creature.
*BOOM*
An extremely loud boom was created, and was followed by a shock-wave which spread in a spherical shape. The soldiers instinctively put their hands over their ears when they heard the boom. Their visions swam in surprise, and when they concentrated on the sea monster again, they were dumbstruck.

Clair and the druids were stunned. They could only mumble one word.
"Monster !"
The scene cleared, and the sea monster's heard was nowhere to be seen. It had been completely mashed into a bloody pulp, and looked as if it had been put into a hydraulic pressing machine. The sea monster was fortunate and passed away peacefully.
The soldiers had their jaws open and could not make a voice. Even the other two sea monsters didn't dare to make a noise. Of course, there was an exception.
"Awesome ! Dear, when are we going to optimize it for me ?"
Madhu spoke excitedly like a little kid. Param stared at the other two creatures and replied.
"Let us first take so test results, so that your's will be more efficient than mine."
"Okay. Smash these guys !" Madhu waved her fists in the air. The soldiers copied her and waved their fists and shouted.
"Smash the monsters ! Smash the monsters ! Smash the monsters !"
The sea monsters perhaps understood that they won't be able to leave peacefully and the both attacked at the same time. Param concentrated and the Eternal Module surged again, sending new commands throughout the body.
He changed his fist into a palm, and an arc enveloped it. The arc sent off large amounts of heat and looked like a plasma ray. He stomped his foot and this time he flew forward. He moved in an elliptical path, first targeting the sea monster on his left.
He thrust his palms forward and cleanly and completely divided the sea monster's head open. The cut seemed surgical, and the high temperature had even stopped the bleeding. The sea monster didn't even had time to feel surprised before he died.
Param jumped over the dead creature and continued moving towards the last one. The sea monster had just turned it's head towards him before it was cut open like a cabbage. Param's hands were stuck deep into it's skull and had almost split it's body into two halves. A burnt smell lingered and he immediately backed off.
After some commotion the soldiers quickly dismantled the sea monsters and stored them. The damage to the ship was insignificant compared to the value of these sea monsters. The soldiers cheered and Claire and Yun Bao congratulated him on his newfound strength. They were tactful enough to not ask for the technique, after all, they hadn't properly taught them when the two were ignorant.
The four juniors of Yun Bao behaved the most awkwardly. They remembered how they behaved arrogantly and ignored them, and were afraid that these two would carry a grudge. Even though they were druids with a high position, it was not a good thing to have enmity with a strong person, especially one who is strong enough to kill a sea monster in one strike.
"So, how was it ?" Madhu softly asked. This was the first test run of the Eternal Art, and there would surely be some problems with it.
"It's major disadvantage is it's energy consumption. There are a lot of calculations to be done, and the Eternal Module consumes a large amount of energy for upkeep. Another thing is delay ...it cannot keep up with the ever changing situation.....and the last thing is heat expulsion ! I felt so hot inside that I thought I was going to explode ! ...."
Param kept on explaining and Madhu listened. No one disturbed them, and even if somebody eavesdropped, they wouldn't understand the technical jargon they talked about.
Param was suddenly stopped by Madhu as she pointed at a direction.
"Look ! What is that ?"
Param squinted his eyes and saw a ship with a skull flag fluttering over it.
He replied in a surprising tone. "That looks like .... a pirate ship."

Black Pirate Ship.
Jack Luffy was having a nightmare. What he thought to be some ordinary ship turned out to be one belonging to the royal fairies !
Bless the Fairy Queen ! He would have been caught if he had tried to loot them.
Then when he used his telescope and watched the ship, he even saw a druid !
Bless the Fairy Queen ! He would have been killed if he had tried to loot them.
Then he saw an amazing fight where a white monster easily cut the large sea monsters like vegetables. These sea monsters were very tough and lived at the bottom of the ocean. He thought what would've happened if he were in place of the sea monsters.
Bless the Fairy Queen ! He didn't even know what to think anymore. He just wanted to leave this place !
"Captain, they are coming here." Elena, the woman next to him shouted. He saw the white monster talking with a beautiful lady who was pointing at them. The woman suddenly jumped into the ocean and swam towards them. The man shouted something and then he too jumped and joined her.
"Sh*t ! Are these people trying to bully us ? Turn direction and set sail at full speed !" Jack said arrogantly while hiding his fear.
Unfortunately, the people following them weren't ordinary people, and reached the Black Pearl after a few minutes. A few crew mates tried to stop to from climbing, but were knocked out from a punch from Madhu. They both climbed the ship and reached the deck. Jack knew their power and immediately hit his head on the floor.
"Honorable Sir, honorable Madam, please let us live ! We can be your slave and you can have our treasures. Barbossa bastard ! What are you idling about ? Quickly bring our treasure chests to gift these honorable people ! And you girls, get some nice food appropriate for our noble guests....."
Jack quickly spouted many instructions to his crew, as if the man and the woman were his ancestors. Claire contacted them to see if they were alright, and was only relieved when she saw that the pirates had been subdued by Madhu.
Madhu 'persuaded' Jack, and now the Black Pearl followed the fairy ship. This was the first 'vacation on a cruise' for the couple.
