Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

But as soon as the special forces unit stepped off the helicopter, the snipers who were lying in ambush pulled the triggers of their large-caliber sniper rifles, completely silencing the special forces members who had been working.

However, before long, these snipers who carried out the elimination would also die due to various accidents, and all traces would disappear. Except for a very few people, no one would know that a certain 'cargo' existed.

Greenland

Mebius arrived at what looked like a rather luxurious base after just one night's sleep, though she had always thought it was an experimental base in Iceland.

"Dr. Möbius, for the future of humanity and for the evolution of humankind, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future," the head of the base said with a smile to Möbius, who had come from afar.

"Alright, enough nonsense. What's the point of what you're saying that interests me?" Möbius replied coldly.

The person in charge wasn't embarrassed at all, saying, "Please follow me."

After going through a series of complicated inspection procedures, Möbius saw the thing.

The corpse of a magical girl.

The corpse of a magical girl, obtained at the cost of countless lives.

"Ha," Mebius laughed.

That's disgusting.

I am one of them.

Chapter 407 The 5th Great Collapse (1) Loss of Contact

St. Freya Herrscher Academy, a cliff by the sea

Sirin came to the cliff here, sat down next to a girl, and looked out at the sea with her.

Anna, who was gazing at the distant scenery, noticed the person beside her.

Anna smiled slightly as she addressed "Sister Sirin".

"What are you thinking about?" Sirin asked curiously.

"I just really enjoy these quiet moments."

The tranquil, gentle pale purple eyes glanced at another pair of dazzling golden eyes, then turned to the serene ocean in the distance.

"uh-huh"

Celine reached out and ruffled Anna's chestnut hair.

Anna looked over with some confusion, which made her look a little dazed, but also quite cute.

However, she did not stop Celine's actions, letting Celine ruffle her hair as if she were a child.

Celine removed the blue butterfly hair accessory from Anna's hair, then took out a comb and began to comb Anna's hair again.

"Heh heh, how does it feel?" Celine looked at Anna's hair with satisfaction. Actually, there wasn't much of a hairstyle; she had simply combed it straight.

“I like it very much,” Anna chuckled softly.

She really likes this hairstyle.

Celine sat down next to Anna again, and together they looked at the calm sea. Celine felt her heart calm down as well.

"To what extent do you have control over your power?"

"Like this"

Anna raised her hand and snapped her fingers towards the distant sea.

In an instant, the tranquil sea before Sirin's eyes transformed into a boundless ice field, freezing the entire ocean.

But Anna snapped her fingers again, and the frozen sea thawed again, the water remaining calm as if nothing had happened.

"Can't you still create a frozen space?" Sirin asked curiously.

But all she received was Anna's helpless gaze.

That's too difficult.

Xilin nodded knowingly.

"It can only achieve relative time freeze in a small area."

Celine was about to nod when she realized something was wrong.

"?"

She looked at Anna with a puzzled expression, and Anna tilted her head to look at Sirin as well.

"what?"

Sirin was stunned. Had Anna's control over power reached this level? Even if it was only a small area, as time went on, her control over power became easier and easier, and the range of time stagnation expanded. Her control over authority also improved significantly.

"When were you able to do that?"

"Recently, I think."

Anna thought for a moment and then answered.

Anna has been training and learning to control her powers lately, but she is still far behind Wendy, so Anna doesn't have any particular thoughts on it.

"Okay, it'll be your turn to shine soon. Remember to hold out as long as possible. I'm off now," Sirin said quickly, then immediately opened the portal and went back. If she didn't hurry up and train her powers, Sirin would probably be much weaker than Anna.

Anna was a little puzzled as to why her sister Sirin left so quickly, but then she continued to look at the calm sea in the distance, enjoying the peace.

Soon it will be Anna's turn to appear, and she is also thinking about what to do.

"The ocean?" Anna couldn't bear to see humans die in front of her. Looking at the sea, she suddenly had an idea: let's thaw the Antarctic ice sheet.

Anna didn't care how many people would die after the Antarctic glaciers melted, because what humans saw as death was just a departure from their bodies to Anna.

A year has passed since the Wind Witch incident ended. Since the Wind Witch caused relatively few human casualties, her impact was far less than that of the Witch of Reason, the Witch of Thunder, and the Witch of Sky.

During this year, Muirse was forced to stay at St. Freya Magical Girl Academy with Alicia, teaching the newly enrolled magical girls.

Despite the Wind Witch killing many of the academy's students, there are still many people who want to join the Magical Girl Academy. In this year, the academy's fourth class of students reached more than two thousand.

However, this also forced Muirsay to leave the Antarctic lighthouse base.

As the possible arrival of the fifth witch draws ever closer, Muels has prepared to return to the Lighthouse Base to oversee things, Alicia will remain at the academy, and Emilia is also preparing to rush to the place where the witch may appear at any time.

St. Freya Magical Girl Academy, Teleportation Zone

Muirsay's team is preparing to contact the lighthouse base.

"This is the director's convoy. Please prepare the teleportation device and get ready to teleport." The liaison officer in the convoy, responsible for contacting the lighthouse base, turned on the communicator.

There was no response.

The liaison officer frowned and immediately nervously repeated the call to the lighthouse base.

But there has still been no response.

"Director! There's no response from Lighthouse Base!"

Muirsey had already dialed the emergency contact number for the Firemoth headquarters.

"Immediately contact reconnaissance satellites from all countries; the Lighthouse base has lost contact!"

"Yes! We were just about to report this to you!"

The personnel at the headquarters of Moth Chaser also responded quickly. Long before Muirsey contacted them, the headquarters of Moth Chaser had already discovered the loss of contact with the Antarctic lighthouse base. When they reported to Muirsey, they received a contact from Muirsey.

Soon, all countries in the world learned of the lighthouse base's loss of contact, and satellites in outer space near the Antarctic region began to conduct reconnaissance and photography of the Antarctic area.

A US fleet that had recently been training off the coast of Antarctica also quickly received orders to head towards Antarctica. At the Firemoth bases in Australia and New Zealand, large reconnaissance drones also took off rapidly under orders and flew directly towards Antarctica.

A few minutes ago

Anna Shaniat descended upon the Antarctic glacier. Her jade-like feet, encased in white stockings and high-heeled boots, made a crisp sound as they stepped onto the glacier. The biting Antarctic wind seemed like a gentle breeze, blowing through the queen's chestnut-colored hair and causing her magnificent gown to flutter in the wind.

Anna, wearing an ice-blue crown, raised her ice-blue crystal scepter.

At this moment, the color in Anna's pale purple eyes was no longer as gentle and soft as before; instead, it was as sharp and cold as that of a supreme empress.

"Come forth, my Frost Guard!"

The Antarctic glaciers, which had been stagnant for 34 million years, obeyed the Snow Queen's command. Snowstorms howled from the glaciers, and one after another, the Frost Guards, wielding ice axes and ice muskets, appeared in the fierce blizzard.

The 550,000 Frost Guards formed endless, magnificent legion formations before the Ice Queen.

Five ice and snow warhorses pulled an ice and snow carriage that appeared beside Anna. She stepped into the carriage, and the Ice Guards around her silently turned around and strode forward in unison, disappearing into the fierce blizzard on the Antarctic ice glacier in no time.

At the same time, the glaciers surrounding Antarctica began to melt rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Chapter 408 The Fifth Great Collapse (2) The Critical Point

"Third teleportation attempt failed! Director! There seems to be severe interference around the entire Antarctic continent; our teleportation device is completely unable to conduct teleportation!"

Muirsey sighed. What was wrong with these witches? Every single one of them could interfere with the teleporter.

Although there is no evidence yet, the loss of contact with the Antarctic base is definitely related to the Fifth Witch. Muirse has prepared for the worst, as Antarctica may have already been occupied by the Fifth Witch.

It must be said that the Fifth Witch's attack on the Antarctic Lighthouse base was truly a direct hit to the heart of the matter. The most important detection device of the Fire Moth, the Law of the Rings, is located at the Lighthouse base. As long as any anomaly occurs on Earth, activating the Law of the Rings will allow them to discover and locate the Witch's presence.

But now the Lighthouse base has been directly attacked and occupied by the Fifth Witch, which has almost completely disabled the Moth's ability to detect the whole world and the witches.

This makes it difficult for Muirsey and the others to know what the Fifth Witch will do next.

"Pause teleportation and wait for new reconnaissance intelligence!"

Muirsay said to the intelligence agents.

She was considering whether to use the Witch of Reason's core to reconstruct the second Ring of Reason, but did she have enough magic power? The other magical girls needed to save enough magic power to deal with the Fifth Witch, and their magic power could not be used.

However, perhaps there is no need to construct a second ring.

However, Muirsey was unsure whether the new detection device built in this way could detect the Fifth Witch's every move.

Half an hour after the Antarctic lighthouse base lost contact

"Director Muirsay! We've discovered something unusual! The Antarctic glaciers are melting at a visible rate! And this rate is accelerating!"

Muirsey, who was waiting for news, was stunned for a moment. Alicia didn't quite understand these things, but Emilia was explaining them to her. On the screen in their combat command room, high-ranking officials and generals from various countries immediately asked their advisors and staff what the impact of the melting Antarctic glaciers would be.

"Can the news be confirmed?!" Muirsey became nervous.

Why is it that everything these witches do is aimed at destroying human civilization?

"Here are video and photographic footage from the edge of Antarctica," the intelligence officer reported in a recent intelligence report.

In the video, everyone can clearly see that the Antarctic glaciers, which were originally frozen all year round, are thawing and falling into the ocean at a visible speed. And this is not just a glacier in one place, but all the glaciers in the entire Antarctic!

This was taken by a large drone flying to Antarctica. Several more US destroyers will arrive in Antarctica soon to take more photos and record more details.

However, after some popular science education, high-ranking officials and generals from various countries all know that if the Antarctic ice sheet melts, in the simplest and most intuitive way, the sea level will rise by 60 meters after all the Antarctic ice sheet melts.

This is just the first anomaly. Such rapid thawing of Antarctic glaciers will also lead to rapid changes in global ocean currents and the environment. Marine life may face mass extinction due to changes in the marine environment, and changes in ocean currents will also lead to extreme global climate.

But the disasters affecting all of humanity are not limited to rising sea levels and climate change. The rapid melting of Antarctic glaciers will also cause drastic changes to the Antarctic Plate, one of the tectonic plates that is pressed down by the massive Antarctic glaciers.

The sudden reduction in glacial pressure on the Antarctic Plate would cause it to spring back like a flattened spring, resulting in major faults and strong earthquakes.

In other words, the melting of Antarctic glaciers will lead to plate tectonics, which in turn will cause tsunamis. Moreover, because the melting of Antarctic glaciers is so rapid, once a certain critical point is reached, the resulting tsunami will be a global mega-tsunami.

After learning about the potentially catastrophic consequences of the rapid melting of Antarctic glaciers, high-ranking officials and generals from various countries all wore expressions that suggested, "Are you kidding me?"

"What the hell are you talking about? How is this possible? That witch actually has such abilities? Are you kidding me?!"

"We must stop the witch as soon as possible!"

"If an unavoidable disaster were to occur, how many people would die?"

"The first thing to happen will likely be a global tsunami. It's hard to estimate how devastating such a tsunami would be, but one thing is certain: coastal areas all over the world will be impacted by it!"

"This super tsunami could cause a death toll of at least 5 million! China, India, and other coastal areas are all densely populated!"

"A super tsunami could also directly impact grain-producing areas along the coast. These areas, flooded by seawater, would experience a significant reduction in food production, potentially leading to a global famine!"

Although the first four witches slaughtered tens of millions of people, they did not seem to have the real ability to destroy human civilization; it was just an appearance.

When the Fifth Witch appeared, she truly came with the sole purpose of wiping out human civilization in one fell swoop.

How can this convince high-ranking officials and generals from various countries?

Unfortunately, it wasn't April Fool's Day.

After hearing that the melting of Antarctic glaciers would lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, Alicia began to feel disoriented. Why did humanity suffer so many disasters?

Amidst the initial panic, some people remained calm.

"Contact the scientific team! Calculate the critical point at which Antarctic glacier melting leads to plate tectonics as quickly as possible."
