She snorted loudly, puffing out her cheeks and refusing to look at them.
"What's there to fuss about?" Wendy said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
Changing one's appearance and figure is not difficult for Herrschers. In fact, if Sirin wanted to, she could become tall and voluptuous at any time.
"Besides..." Wendy looked at Fu Shi, who was flying over on a flying sword. She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
"Pfft, cough cough," Bronya couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing, but she hadn't had time to control her emotions and her thoughts were accidentally read by the talisman.
"8>50000?"
"What nonsense is this?"
Fu Shi was full of questions. Although she knew that everyone seemed to treat her like a child, she wasn't that stupid.
How could 8 possibly be greater than 5!
"Cough cough" Raiden Mei almost couldn't help but laugh. When she heard Fu Shi's words, thought of the strange atmosphere just now, and saw Sirin's eyes, she understood instantly.
"What are you laughing at?" Fu Shi frowned at Raiden Mei.
"No, I just... I just thought of some funny things," Raiden Mei barely managed to suppress the crazy urge to smile.
"Pfft!" Bronya couldn't help but laugh again, but just as Fu Shi looked over, she immediately pinched her lips, but still couldn't control the upturned corners of her mouth.
"What are you laughing at again!" Fu Shi felt nothing but malice. She looked at Bronya with some displeasure, then at Raiden Mei, who was trying not to laugh.
"What's wrong with them?" Himeko asked Wendy in a low voice.
“Uh…” Wendy didn’t dare to speak. She felt a murderous aura lock onto the Herrschers present.
However, Wendy didn't say anything, but she stretched out her hands and made a grasping motion in the air, then clapped her hands.
Himeko still didn't understand and was full of questions.
"Cough cough cough." Anna, who had just arrived, saw Wendy's actions and instantly understood. She wanted to laugh, but seeing Fu Shi's questioning yet murderous gaze, she immediately suppressed her laughter by leaning on the table and coughing instead.
Mebius, who also witnessed Wendy's actions, covered Gretsch's eyes expressionlessly, otherwise she would have seen it.
Eden maintained his faint smile, but his eyes were fixed on Bronya with amusement.
"Oh dear?"
“Poor little Shi Bao, being played like a puppet.” Ai Li appeared next to Fu Shi at some point, looking at Fu Shi with a face full of pity.
"The second Honkai has begun, I'm leaving." Sirin suppressed her laughter and quickly left, afraid that she would burst out laughing again.
Chapter 379 The Second Great Collapse (1) Running
The graduation ceremony is underway, and all the students at this high school are excitedly watching the principal on the podium. After today, it will be a new beginning!
However, the students were clearly not interested in the principal's speech on the podium. Although their eyes were focused on the podium, most of them were staring at the words "origin" on the backdrop.
The students are thinking about their future.
Alicia was also very happy at this moment. She was finally able to graduate, and after graduation, she could go to a famous university on the continent of Mu without having to take too difficult exams.
However, Alicia and Emilia were discussing where to travel after the graduation ceremony, and also to visit the three girls that Firemoth had found in the past six months who had become magical girls and were undergoing training at the Firemoth base.
Muirse leaned on Alicia's shoulder, feeling somewhat drowsy. Some of Alicia's attention was focused on the clone she had created, and she paid little attention to unimportant things.
During her graduation speech, Muirsey suddenly woke up and immediately handed her clone over to the AI for control, returning her consciousness to her original body.
“Sia, Amy,” Muirsey whispered, “can you feel it?”
"Hmm!" Alicia and Emilia looked somewhat tense and solemn. At this moment, the crystal flower on Alicia's forehead was also flashing.
"She has appeared," the pink fairy told them.
The magical energy fluctuations of the second witch are emanating from afar.
Alicia and the others didn't dare to delay and were preparing to leave immediately to head to the location of the second Herrscher.
So, the principal, who was giving a passionate speech, suddenly saw the three students, stood up, turned around, and left in front of everyone.
"Those three students!" the principal called out authoritatively, and all the students and teachers turned to look at Alicia and her friends.
But Alicia had no choice; she simply didn't have time to explain. Lives were at stake, and the later she arrived, the greater the casualties the Second Witch would cause.
The incident involving the First Witch of Reason has cast a shadow over Alicia.
As for graduation, we'll talk about that later.
While quickly contacting the Firemoth, Alicia ran away from the school playground, intending to hide in a secluded place, transform into a magical girl, and hurry to the airport.
The location where the second witch appeared was also very far from the Mu Continent.
"A witch? She's appeared so quickly?"
The higher-ups of the Fire Moth, who received Alicia's message, were momentarily stunned. The second witch had appeared so quickly? Only half a year had passed.
"Quickly scout out XX city in Siberia! This is no time for jokes!"
Alicia's tone was quite serious.
However, Alicia's attitude had been very gentle and easy to talk to during this time. The higher-up of the Fire Moth simply gave a brief notification, requesting that they investigate the place Alicia mentioned.
The high-ranking official still harbored doubts and confusion, because the instruments of the Fire Moth had not detected any signs of a Honkai disaster at all.
These Honkai energy detection instruments were created by the Fire Moth after studying the Honkai energy given by Alicia and the small amount of Honkai energy that gradually appeared around the world. In the eyes of various countries and the high-ranking members of the Fire Moth, these instruments are now certain to be able to detect signs of Honkai disasters.
But it is clear that humans are completely unaware of things beyond their own understanding.
After Alicia and the others boarded the private plane that flew directly to the city where the Second Witch was located, the Fire Moth only then detected the appearance of the Honkai disaster and discovered the Second Witch with high-energy Honkai energy reactions.
However, by then, it was already too late.
While Alicia and the others were still anxiously on their way, Firemoth sent them several of the latest satellite photos.
"What is this?" Alicia stared in disbelief at the large crater in the photo.
The satellite photos sent included images from just a few minutes ago.
Alicia could clearly see that in the pictures taken a few minutes earlier of the city where the Second Witch was located, there was a city with a population of over one million.
But in the latest photos, there's nothing left but an empty crater.
A city of one million people vanished under the unknown attack of the Second Witch.
Although Alicia's private plane was fast, it still couldn't reach distant Siberia in just over ten minutes. It would have taken at least several hours.
Back then, no, the daylily buds were already too cold.
"The Second Witch is still there..." Alicia pursed her lips. "We...we have to take her there quickly!"
"We absolutely cannot allow the Second Witch to cause any more casualties!"
At this moment, Alicia's communication with the Firemoth was still in progress, and the Firemoth executives who had been urgently summoned could all hear Alicia's words.
"But Miss Alicia, this is already our fastest private jet."
"Someone said helplessly."
The private jet that Alicia and the others were on was already the fastest private jet in the world, it couldn't possibly be any faster!
“Aren’t there planes that can travel at Mach 6 or higher?” Alicia asked. “We need to get there immediately.”
The representatives from various countries were momentarily stunned. There was indeed an air force base jointly established by the United States and the United States in Guam, where a hypersonic manned reconnaissance aircraft was parked.
The problem is that Alicia and her companions are not professional pilots, and there are no extra overload suits for them. It is simply impossible to use a manned reconnaissance plane to reach the city that appears to have been destroyed.
“Miss Alicia, the situation is like this…” the American representative said tactfully and helplessly.
"We are protected by magic, just get us there as soon as possible, we don't need to worry about anything else!"
"..."
Representatives from various countries were probably thinking, "What the hell is this? Magic? Is it really that amazing?! Can this really be used as an anti-overload medication?"
"I understand." The American representative did not speak; it was the American president who spoke. He had also received the notification immediately and had mobilized all satellites to locate the Second Witch's location.
The private plane carrying Alicia and her companions immediately changed direction. Since they were going to pass by Guam, the plane landed directly in Guam.
At that moment, the hypersonic manned reconnaissance aircraft had just finished maintenance.
The reconnaissance plane pilot was immediately thrown into confusion when he heard the order from his superiors and then looked at Alicia, Muleseth, and Emilia, who were dressed in their beautiful school uniforms.
What is this? It's unbelievable!
But an order is an order, and the pilot of the reconnaissance plane had no choice but to take Alicia and the others aboard.
Then the pilots witnessed an unforgettable and magical scene: a pink shield appeared around Alicia and the others, and they sat obediently in the reconnaissance plane traveling at speeds of over 4000 kilometers per hour, seemingly unaffected, as if the terrifying overload did not exist.
Even more surreal was that just before reaching their destination, the pilots saw a pink shield unfold and envelop the reconnaissance aircraft. When Alicia and the others opened the canopy, the reconnaissance aircraft, flying at high altitude and speed, seemed completely unaffected and continued to fly at high speed with the canopy open.
Does physics no longer exist?
This was the first thought of the drivers who were already dumbfounded.
In reality, Alicia and the others simply used magic to repel the air around the reconnaissance plane, creating a temporary vacuum around them. It wasn't anything as mysterious as it seemed.
Alicia and the other two girls jumped out of the reconnaissance plane and appeared tens of thousands of meters in the air. After transforming into magical girls, they descended rapidly towards the location of the second witch.
"Are they even human?" A pilot on the reconnaissance plane asked blankly, looking at the three magical girls who dared to descend from tens of thousands of meters in the air without parachutes, relying solely on their physical bodies.
His voice was also transmitted via communication to high-ranking officials and scientists in many countries behind the scenes.
A few minutes later, Alicia and her companions, like shooting stars, were about to land in the city where the second witch had appeared.
However, at this moment, Alicia and the others were shocked to discover that the magical fluctuations of the second witch had disappeared.
Alicia was stunned for a moment when she saw the empty pit.
"They...they got away?!"
Chapter 380 The Second Great Collapse (2) Subspace Channel
More than an hour ago
"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph?"
Sirin hummed an unknown tune as she strolled through a bustling city, but none of the people passing by noticed her.
Because Sirin and the people in this city don't even live in the same space.
Simply put, Sirin is on another layer. She can see humans on other layers, but humans cannot see Sirin on another layer.
The space she was in was not created by her; to be precise, it was in a subspace.
Sirin plans to use the upcoming Great Collapse to open a subspace passage to the outside of the solar system, allowing imaginary energy from outside the solar system to flow into the solar system more quickly and be converted into Honkai energy.
The Honkai energy on Earth is basically the imaginary energy absorbed from outside the solar system by the End Cocoon located on the moon, mixed with a little 'chili' and then released onto Earth as Honkai energy.
The program of the End Cocoon will then observe and record this experiment.
All the large, medium and small-scale Honkai events on Earth, including the Honkai events that the End Cocoon has deployed on Venus and Mars over the past billion years, are essentially experiments like this.
As for the ultimate purpose of the experiments conducted by the Cocoon of the End, Sirin didn't care, nor did she care about anything else. It was nothing more than a few goals: to ascend to higher dimensions, to manipulate the laws, and to explore everything.
However, there is a slight problem with the Honkai energy being released by the Cocoon of the End.
Alicia and the other magical girls also need magic power, which is Honkai energy that has been converted back into imaginary energy.
Meanwhile, Sirin and the other Herrschers also need Honkai energy.
However, the amount of Honkai energy released by the Cocoon of the End is limited each time. Sirin and the other Herrschers calculated that if the Cocoon of the End were to convert Honkai energy, it would be completely insufficient. Sooner or later, the magical girls and Herrschers would absorb the little bit of Honkai energy that the Cocoon of the End had just converted, resulting in a situation where no Honkai energy could be released at all.
As for humans being transformed into Honkai energy... in essence, it is still the process of imaginary energy being absorbed by the Cocoon of the End and then transformed into Honkai energy. Humans are flesh and blood life forms, but the foundation of everything in this universe is imaginary energy, including humans, which are essentially composed of imaginary energy.
It's just that the imaginary energy of flesh and blood is more easily absorbed and converted into Honkai energy.
The problem now is not how many humans to kill, but that the rate at which the Cocoon of the End absorbs imaginary energy and converts it into Honkai energy is limited.
At this point, the solar system is like a bucket submerged in seawater, and the cocoon of the end is the converter that transforms seawater into freshwater, and then puts the freshwater into a small cup in the bucket called Earth.
However, now that the small cup contains a device that can consume large amounts of fresh water, the time it takes for the Cocoon of the End to convert fresh water will soon reach a bottleneck.
"Ugh, really, can't they be a little more sensible?" Xilin stood in the city center square, looking at the moon in the sky, a look of disdain on her face.
The moon is usually invisible during the day, but Sirin is a Herrscher, and everything on the moon is crystal clear to her.
The thing on it is called the Cocoon of the End, but strictly speaking, it is entirely an experimental object.
The Cocoon of the End has accumulated a wave of Honkai energy, but after this wave, it's uncertain when it will be able to accumulate another wave.
But for the Herrschers, that was far too slow.
Therefore, the Herrschers discussed having Sirin use the Honkai energy from the Second Great Collapse to open a subspace passage to the outer reaches of the solar system.
