42. «Merlin»

Having eaten a delicious shish kebab made by grandfather, we decided to relax with our hearts.

Me and Grandpa decided to go fishing a little. The girls were sunbathing.

After a couple of hours of not very successful fishing, I decided to swim. It's summer, after all, and I swam only once. And then in the form of Ripjaws, when I hunted for the Kraken.

Having put on swimming trunks, I went to the river. The water temperature was not very good, but bearable. After ten minutes the girls decided to join me. Gwen wore a red swimsuit and Ashley a green one.

They looked, I must say, very good. I even stuck on them for a few minutes.

They noticed my view and blushed a little. Having entered the water, the girls swam to me.

We swam a little, after which we decided to retire. Coming out of the water, I went to Grandpa.

Max was washing his precious mobile home right now. Approaching him, I said:

- Grandpa, we'll go upstream. Let's look for a warmer place.

Grandpa looked at me and the girls, then, with a sly grin, he said:

- Sure, but go back to darkness. Have some fun.

Damn, this old man knows for sure. Well, to hell with him. I have no time for him now.

Taking towels, we went to the waterfall. I decided not to look for a place to climb, but to use my magic. I'll practice at the same time.

Approaching the rock from which the waterfall flows, I created a spiral staircase 30 meters high, like the waterfall itself.

She looked like the real thing. The only reason it was possible to understand that the staircase was fake was its not natural dark blue color.

But otherwise, it looked like a real and dense staircase. There were even decorations in the form of flowers on the railings. The ladder itself seemed to be made of metal, but of course it was just a magical construction made from my Mana.

- Wow! - Ashley exclaimed, looking at the staircase I had created.

- How did you make the stairs so natural? And why is it so dense and impenetrable? - Gwen asked.

- The main thing here is control and imagination. If your imagination may be fine, but your control is poor. I told you a hundred times that you need to train more control. - I said, going up the stairs.

- Yes, you said, and I train him. But all the same, my constructions are not so dense and natural. You have them completely opaque. How did you do this? - Gwen asked, walking up behind me. Ashley followed her.

- The thing is that my Mana is more concentrated. I was just lucky with that, but I still train my Mana density as well. You have more Mana than me, about 30%, but all my Mana is much denser and more concentrated. And I have better control. - I said, and then added:

- For example, if you run out of steam after 500 magic discs, then I will after 700. And this despite the difference in the amount of Mana. So also my disks will be one and a half times stronger and they will do more damage.

- How can I increase the density so that it is the same? - Gwen asked.

- No way. In magic, you are more talented than me and you have more strength. When you become Anodite, you will be much more powerful than me Anodite. But because of the overwhelming power, you suffer from both control and density. There are always pros and cons. - I told her my latest findings on this matter.

- But is there really no way to fix it? - Gwen asked, clearly disappointed.

- There is one little trick. It is necessary to compress Mana during meditation. This will increase your concentration slightly. Not much. But at least something. - I said.

- Clear. Aren't you upset that I am stronger than you in magic? - Gwen asked, considering my feelings.

- Not. I already have the Omnitrix. In fact, I'm even glad that I have such magic. For me, good control is much better than unbridled power. - I honestly said.

- Clear. - said Gwen, with a smile.

Ashley, all this time, listened to our conversation and was silent.

At that moment, we finally went upstairs, and I scattered the stairs. Further, we walked another kilometer just chatting until we stopped at a good place.

The water was colder here, so I decided to give us a bath. Transformed into Four Arms, I dug a hole three meters deep and three meters long, not far from the river.

After that, I led a canal from the river to the pit. After a couple of minutes, the pit was filled with water and I closed the channel with stones, only left a small stream.

After that, I turned into a Heatblast and heated a homemade hot spring to 60 degrees. Due to the fact that I left access to water from the river, the bath was very comfortable.

Becoming myself, I climbed into the bath. And it was wonderful. Warm and relaxing.

Seeing my happy face, the girls also jumped into the bathroom. And immediately relaxed.

We lay there for about twenty minutes, after which the girls moved closer to me and put their heads on their shoulders, while hugging me.

So, we lay for almost three hours. We kissed from time to time. First, I kissed Gwen, then Ashley. And backwards, and so on several times.

When it got dark, the water had already started to cool down, so we decided to return.

Leaving the source like this, we went to the waterfall. There, I created the stairs again, we went downstairs and returned to the RV.

Grandpa had just finished making dinner. Seeing us, he just grinned and called us to eat.

How infuriating this grin is. When we meet his ex-girlfriend, I will remember everything to him.

After dinner, everyone went about their business. Gwen read books on magic, Ashley played Sumo Slammers, and Grandpa watch the movie. I decided to finally check the cultist's ship.

Since I did not know how to operate the ship, I decided to do everything in a simple way. Transformed into an Upgrade, I ascended to the ship using telekinesis and absorbed into the starship.

I have not improved or absorbed it. This is the first complete spacecraft that fell into my hands. And I want to study it better.

The ship is called the 'Great One' by the way. Dios mío. These cultists even named the ship after this stupid tick. Absolutely nuts.

Having soaked into the ship, I found the control instructions and memorized them. Also, I removed the entire control system so that if those cultists return, they cannot access the ship.

In addition, one of the aliens had the key to the ship, which means that this system will not give me full control. So, hell with it.

After finishing all the work, I got inside the starship and became Ditto, then I created one clone, which turned into an Upgrade.

The clone penetrated the dashboard and created a wire through which I inserted Morgana into the ship's system. Soon, this ship will be under her complete control.

When the clone finished everything that was needed, he dispelled himself.

When the download finished, a beautiful and sexy girl appeared on the main monitor. It was Morgana.

- [Darling, this ship belongs to you now. What would you like to call him?] - Morgana asked and smiled flirtatiously.

- Well, since Morgana is running it, let it be called «Merlin». Sounds symbolic. - I said with a grin.

- [Accepted. Welcome aboard the Merlin.] - Morgana said, pleased with the analogy.

- Thanks. Morgana, lower the ship to the ground for now, not far from the RV. Also, order the cleaning robots to remove the entire ship and destroy the personal belongings of the former owners. In the meantime, I'll check the entire spacecraft. - I said and went to study the ship.

- [Whatever you say.] - Morgana said and small robots appeared all over the ship, which began to disinfect the entire ship.

Everything is clear with the management. The only thing I need to do is give orders to Morgana and she will do everything.

I liked the bridge of the ship. It was free enough and also has a huge panoramic window. In addition to the captain's chair, which was located at the very windshield, there were also four more passenger seats.

Leaving the bridge, I entered the living room. It was free here and there was enough room for ten people. There were comfortable sofas on the sides, and in the center was a table for five people. Also, there was a holographic TV.

On the side was the entrance to the galley. That is, the kitchen. It was pretty simple, but high tech. By the way, there were no food.

Leaving the kitchen and returning to the living room, although it is more of a dining room, I moved on. There was a door in the back that led into a hallway. There were four doors and an elevator.

Four doors led into ordinary cabins. Each contained a bed, a table and a chair, a wardrobe, a holo-TV and a computer with access to the Galactic Internet.

Also, each cabin had a bathroom. There was a shower, a toilet and a washbasin with a mirror. In the room you could turn on the window and look out through it.

Entering the elevator, I saw four buttons. First, I decided to click on the topmost button. Coming out of the elevator, I got into the captain's cabin. She was about three times the size of the usual.

But there was the same furniture as in the other cabins. Only the bed was larger.

The bathroom was also larger and there was a real alien jacuzzi. Plus, could open the ceiling and look at the sky.

Back in the elevator, I went to the -1 floor. There was a medical block, a warehouse and an exit from the ship. In general, nothing interesting.

Going down to the - 2nd floor, I got into the technical compartment. Here was the core of the ship.

After examining it, I was pleased. This ship was of a high-speed type. He could fly through the star system in just three hours. It's pretty fast.

But there are also disadvantages. The ship's defense is weak, and there are also no weapons.

Well, I still didn't want to leave him like that for long. 'Merlin' will be the foundation of my own ship, which I will build myself.

'Merlin' is actually a very nice ship. But I want a bigger ship. Also, I want to make it the fastest in the universe. And set up a powerful defense. Plus, a weapon that can destroy Vilgax's ship in just a couple of seconds.

After finishing the inspection, I left my spaceship to show it to my family.
