"I'm fine," Alicia gripped her bow and arrow tightly, looking at the dead monsters.
These monsters are actually very peculiar. They are not purely flesh and blood beings, but rather a hybrid life form. After killing these monsters, Alicia discovered that they all had a faint magical reaction within them, which suggests that they were indeed familiars created by the Third Witch.
"Miumiu, haven't you found the witch's location yet?" Alicia contacted Muirse.
Due to the extremely strong magnetic field interference inside Tokyo, many communication devices are unusable, and magical communication can only be carried out by the magical girls.
Before Alicia entered Tokyo, she instructed Muirsey to find the location of the third witch as soon as possible.
"Nothing was found. It seems the Third Witch isn't in Tokyo," Muels replied to Alicia after severing the connection with the Law of Cycles.
She was puzzled: where exactly was the Third Witch?
"Director Muirsay," a voice then made Muirsay look up.
Before her stood a girl named Mei, wearing black-rimmed glasses. She possessed exceptional talent in physics and had recently joined the Moth of Fire organization, being transferred to the Lighthouse base.
“These are research reports on the magnetic field in Tokyo,” Mei said, placing the documents on the table beside her.
“Okay, I’ll go back and check,” Muirsey nodded.
"Then I'll be going now," Mei said, preparing to leave.
Muirse looked at the delivered documents with a troubled expression. Although she was a magical girl with strong learning abilities, the problem was that she only had a basic understanding of the content related to electromagnetism and physics.
“Wait, May,” Muirsay suddenly spoke up. May seemed to be a genius in physics and electromagnetism. Although she didn’t have the talent of a magical girl, it still couldn’t hide her abilities.
Mei turned around with some confusion; she still needed to go to the laboratory to continue her research on Tokyo's magnetic field.
“I don’t know much about electromagnetism, could you take a look for me?” Muirsay then said.
"The lab..." Mei hesitated.
"I'll just tell them."
"it is good"
Mei had no choice but to agree, but since she had written the report herself, how was she going to present its contents to Director Muirsey? Director Muirsey seemed to be unfamiliar with this subject, after all, she seemed to have studied biology before.
Mei pondered for a moment, then decided to report the results caused by the magnetic field interference in Tokyo.
However, besides these, there are also problems with those monsters.
"Are those monsters some kind of magnetic field life form?" Muirsay was somewhat surprised by Mei's idea.
"Yes, the remains of those monsters were sent over earlier. They had a very strong magnetic field, but the remains disintegrated shortly after they arrived. I believe those monsters were indeed some kind of magnetic field life form, only able to survive in a strong magnetic field environment."
Mei explained.
Muirsey suddenly had a new idea.
"Could we use electromagnetic interference missiles, which are more powerful and capable of disrupting magnetic fields, to destroy Tokyo's strong magnetic field?" she asked.
“I can’t be sure,” Mei shook her head; she wasn’t sure if this method would work either.
It could potentially disrupt Tokyo's magnetic field in an instant, but it could also make Tokyo's magnetic field stronger.
"Let's give it a try anyway," Muirsey decided.
Many people have died in Tokyo, but many more are still alive and in constant danger of dying in the face of monsters.
If those monsters can only survive because of Tokyo's magnetic field, then it's necessary to try to disrupt Tokyo's strong magnetic field.
Muirse quickly contacted the Fire Moth and high-ranking officials from various countries to explain the situation. After obtaining their consent, he rushed to the preservation area of the Lighthouse Base, where the Witch of Reason Gem and the Witch of the Sky Gem were stored.

The magic power in Muleseth's body began to flow rapidly into the Witch of Reason's Gem, and in a short while, two-thirds of Muleseth's magic power was drained away.
This left Muirsay pale and weak, but it was worth it.
She immediately contacted the personnel at the base to send the newly manufactured missiles to the operational area, preparing to transmit them directly to the Mu continent and attempt to attack Tokyo through the missile launch base on the Mu continent.
Muirsey watched as the missile disappeared into the teleportation screen.
Tokyo
Alicia and all the magical girls received a new notification: an electromagnetic interference missile would strike Tokyo in half an hour, attempting to disrupt the city's strong magnetic field.
However, this does not mean that the coalition forces will retreat temporarily. Those monsters are not a threat to the coalition forces. Bullets and shells can also kill these elusive demons.
The magical girls would also add a little magic to the bullets fired by the allied soldiers, so that they could kill the monsters more quickly.
However, although these monsters do not pose a significant threat to the allied forces, they still need to be wary of their sneak attacks. Some careless allied soldiers have already been killed by monsters.
Alicia is also on the front line of the battlefield. Every time she draws her bow and shoots an arrow, one or more monsters die under her pink arrow.
"The missile is almost here," Muirsey's weak voice reached Alicia's ears.
"Mimi, you should go and get some rest," Alicia advised worriedly.
"I'm fine. Keep an eye on things. If we can't break the strong magnetic field in Tokyo, then it's up to you. I've already spoken to Amy, and she'll be there to assist you soon."
After finishing her speech, Muirseth ended the communication and prepared to continue activating the Law of Cycles to search for the Third Witch.
“Director Muirsay, you should take a rest,” Mei said, standing beside Muirsay with great concern.
"It's alright, I can still hold on," Muirsey smiled and connected to the Law of Circles.
Chapter 393 The Third Great Collapse (6) This is not over yet.
"That's truly amazing."
The officer commanding the Shenzhou army looked at the shields emitting a faint glow around the armored vehicles and tanks, and then at the location where the electromagnetic interference missile had just exploded.
The electromagnetic interference missile, which should have destroyed all electronic devices instantly, did not affect any of them; all electronic devices continued to function normally.
And this is the magic of those magical girls, or even fantasy.
The officer couldn't understand why the magical girls' magic could protect electronic devices. What was the principle behind it? The magical shield looked very thin, yet it could not only block the monsters and demons of Tokyo but also protect the electronic devices.
However, the officer shook his head and did not investigate. He found it hard to understand and completely baffled. This world was too strange. It had been a normal technological society before, and suddenly magical girls and witches appeared.
"Ms. Du Shushu, please go and rest," the officer said as he approached the magical girl.
"I'm fine," Du Shushu replied firmly, even though she felt she had used up a lot of magic and was a little tired.
Despite the horrific scenes in Tokyo that had been relentlessly impacting Du Shushu's mind, and the sight of the corpses and bloodstains that she had clearly seen, Du Shushu did not back down or run away. The other young Shenzhou warriors around her had not run away from anything, so she had even less reason to run away from this tragic situation.
"Let's continue!" Du Shushu said resolutely to the officer.
Seeing Du Shushu's resolute gaze, the officer said nothing more, nodded, and ordered the surrounding Shenzhou soldiers to continue advancing.
Before long, they encountered a group of monsters gathered together, but these monsters seemed to be affected by the situation and were staggering around without any ability to resist.
"Bang bang bang!" Several bursts of bullets flew towards the monsters.
The Shenzhou warriors showed no mercy, nor did Du Shushu. She too took her rifle and opened fire on the monsters. Even though the monsters were powerless to resist, they still had to die. They had already devoured many humans, and human skeletons could be vaguely seen all around.
After confirming that the monsters had been killed, the combat team continued its advance.
The same scene is unfolding in various parts of Tokyo, where the allied forces of Mu Continent, Shenzhou, and the United States are clearing out monsters and demons, while occasionally discovering survivors who have been terrified into madness.
These survivors could only be temporarily detained to prevent them from harming themselves.
At this moment, Alicia saw another magnetic interference missile flying in from the sky, just like the one before, and then it exploded with a bang. This made her suspicious. These missiles were all made using the Witch of Reason's Gem. Was it really okay for Mules to consume her own magic power so quickly?
Antarctic Pole, Lighthouse Base
May helped the exhausted Muirsay sit down in her seat.
"Director Muirsay, you should rest first. You're very tired now!" May pressed Muirsay into a chair and then adjusted the chair to a reclining position.
"I'm really okay," Muirsay said, trying to break free from May's grasp and stand up. "I still have so much to do."
"Perhaps I should contact your partner?" Mei had no choice but to say.
"Director Muirsey, you wouldn't want Principal Alicia and Councilor Emilia to know about your current situation, would you?"
"......"
Muirsey looked at May helplessly.
“Please get some rest,” May said, looking at Muirsay.
Mei didn't know why she suddenly needed to take care of Director Muirsey. As the chief director of the Fire Moth scientific team, Muirsey was clearly Mei's boss's boss, but Mei never expected things to turn out this way.
Perhaps it was because she almost fainted after seeing Muleseth break the connection with the Law of Cycles, or perhaps it was because she saw Muleseth forcibly use the Witch of Reason's Gem again.
In short, May felt that Director Muirsay was working too hard.
May breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing Muirsey close her eyes to rest.
However, what she didn't know was that Muirsey's consciousness had entered into one of her clones in the United States.
Then Mei suddenly felt a gaze from not far away. Mei turned her head and saw that it was the four magical girls who were responsible for using the Law of Cycles.
They had already used the Law of Circles to rest, but they didn't expect to see the interaction between May and Director Muirsey when they returned after resting for a while.
"I'm leaving Director Muirsey in your care," a magical girl said to Mei, blinking her big, watery eyes, before pulling the other magical girls away in a flash.
They also had to follow Director Muirsey's instructions to create a third magnetic field interference missile using the Witch of Reason's Gem.
"..." Mei pushed up her glasses, a helpless look on her face.
At this time, Tokyo's magnetic field began to weaken gradually due to the second magnetic field interference missile. This had an increasingly severe impact on the magnetic field life forms living in it, namely the monsters, making them weaker. Some of the already weak monsters died as a result.
In order to survive, many monsters had to gather together, but this only made them die faster.
The allied forces and magical girls, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity to kick a man when he's down slip by, and they killed the monsters in Tokyo at an even faster pace.
Alicia's magical girl squad also began to focus on finding the Third Witch, but still didn't make much progress.
Where exactly is that witch?
Standing atop Tokyo Skytree, Alicia surveyed the magnificent view of the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. Her brows furrowed in confusion. Where was the Third Witch?
Alicia's hands didn't stop moving either. She drew her bow and fired pink arrows in all directions of Tokyo. Magical girls from all over Tokyo guided these pink arrows to violently bombard the hordes of monsters that had gathered together.
As the morning sun gradually rose, its brilliant rays reflected on Alicia.
A golden veil was draped over her body.
It was 7 a.m., and seven hours had passed since midnight.
After the third magnetic field interference missile exploded, the strong magnetic field in Tokyo gradually calmed down. Before long, all the monsters began to perish. They tried everything to survive, unwilling to accept their fate, but they were not real monsters, but just magnetic field life forms that resembled monsters in appearance.
Alicia soon learned of the death of the last yokai in Tokyo.
But Alicia still didn't smile. All the monsters were dead, but the Third Witch was still nowhere to be found.
In this incident caused by the Third Witch, the death toll in Tokyo is difficult to count, but it is certain that nearly a million humans were killed and eaten by the monsters that are the Third Witch's familiars.
Moreover, the death toll may be even higher, as many of these people were never found.
Furthermore, this only includes those killed by monsters; many humans have also died indirectly due to the appearance of monsters.
Alicia's heart trembled when she saw the report of the estimated death toll in Tokyo, which was at least ten million.
Second only to the more than 30 million deaths in the Witch of Reason incident.
However, as long as the third witch has not been killed, this is not the end of the story.
Chapter 394 The Third Great Collapse (7) Aurora
That evening, Mei received a notice of temporary leave.
For the past few days, she has been searching for the Third Witch at the Lighthouse base with other scientists, but today Director Muirsey directly approved May's leave, allowing her to go home and rest temporarily.
Mei could almost see Director Muirsay's happy, teasing smile.
After checking her belongings, Mei left her dormitory at the lighthouse base.
In the corridor, she looked out the window at the vast expanse of white Antarctic snowscape.
When Mei first arrived at this lighthouse base at the South Pole, she was almost stunned. After joining the Fire Moth because of her talent in physics, she never imagined that the Fire Moth would have such a huge base in Antarctica, and that it was built in a very short time.
After passing through the corridor, Mei arrived at the teleportation area of the lighthouse base. Mei wasn't the only one there who was also preparing for a vacation; there were others as well.
