Du Shushu stood on the rooftop of the tallest building in Hong Kong, gazing at the approaching tsunami in the distance.
Du Shushu didn't know how to deal with the tsunami, but after gripping the ice sword inlaid with the Ice Witch's Gem, an idea gradually sprouted in her mind.
Swing your sword, swing your sword, swing your sword! Trust in the sword in your hand!
Du Shushu, who loved fantasy and martial arts novels since childhood, always harbored a dream of becoming an unparalleled sword immortal. As she grew up, this dream faded away. But when she became a magical girl, the dream resurfaced.
Du Shushu flew to the beach and stood in front of the tsunami. Behind her was her hometown, with its myriad lights.
"Swing your sword!"
The girl gripped her ice sword and swung it towards the tsunami. A curved, icy blue blade of light burst forth, instantly freezing a large area on the sea surface.
But it seemed meaningless in the face of the massive tsunami.
However, what followed were more and more ice-blue light blades, larger and more numerous, cold and sharp light blades.
"...Give all my magic to Shushu." Emilia had been keeping a close eye on Du Shushu's situation.
Upon witnessing that scene, she immediately gathered all her magic power and had it transmitted to Du Shushu.
At this moment, Du Shushu had no other thoughts in her mind. The only thing she wanted to do, and was doing, was to swing her sword, swing it continuously.
She soared into the sky, her eyes now shrouded in icy blue light. With another fierce swing of her sword towards the sea, a blade of light flew out once more.
At that moment, everyone in Hong Kong, everyone looking at Du Shushu, suddenly felt that chilling and piercing sword intent.
As the light blade hurtled toward the sea, it gradually transformed into a giant, ice-blue light blade exceeding a kilometer in length.
"Crack!"
The tsunami within a kilometer radius of the light blade was frozen and turned into an iceberg in the shape of a tsunami. But after a while, the ice began to crack, as if the tsunami iceberg would completely collapse at any moment.
Then, another light blade, over a kilometer long, appeared, followed by yet another.
In Emilia's eyes, she had lost count of how many light blades had struck the sea. Du Shushu flew even higher, soaring into the clouds and continuously slashing her sword across an even wider expanse of the sea.
At this moment, a strange sight, or rather a miracle, appeared in the southern sea area of China: a giant iceberg stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
Chapter 416 After the Natural Disaster
Alicia stared blankly at the image that was playing.
She unconsciously gripped the Void Witch Gem in her hand, then looked at the sword in the hand of the magical girl in the picture who looked like a peerless female swordswoman. The Ice Witch Gem on that sword, which looked like it was made of ice, was radiating a dazzling and shining light.
Without a doubt, it was the Ice Witch Gem that Alicia obtained after killing the Ice Witch. Alicia had no doubt about this; she remembered it very clearly.
The Sky Witch Gem she's holding now is also the Sky Witch Gem obtained after the Sky Witch's death, and Alicia remembers it very clearly.
The magical girl holding the Ice Witch Gem is named Du Shushu. She is a student of the second term at St. Freya Magical Girl Academy. After the Wind Witch incident, she became a B-rank magical girl. When Alicia received the notice a few days ago to go and resist the tsunami, she remembered that Du Shushu was among the first magical girls to sign up without hesitation.
A few hours earlier, when Du Shushu applied to use the Ice Witch Gem, Alicia was already aware of it.
But why?
Alicia felt somewhat lost and confused.
They are both Witch's Gems, and both are extremely difficult to control the powers within them, so why is there such a huge difference between them now?
Alicia was starting to question the meaning of life.
She obtained the Void Witch Gem and practiced for a long time before successfully mastering its power, the Spacequake.
But how long has Du Shushu had the Ice Witch Gem?
However, although Alicia felt somewhat conflicted, she was mostly happy. Having another magical girl who could use witch powers meant that more people could be saved in this battle against the natural disaster.
"Principal Alicia!"
A shout brought Alicia back to her senses; it was a magical girl who had been following her.
On the private plane carrying Alicia, top geologists and oceanographers from around the world were discussing how to quell the tsunami. The first wave of the tsunami was too large, so they had to target and destroy the relatively larger ones to prevent the coastal cities of Mu in the Pacific Ocean from being attacked.
“Okay, let’s continue!” Alicia didn’t hesitate any longer. After receiving the coordinates and information from the geologists and oceanographers, Alicia turned around, flew out of the cabin, and plunged into the turbulent sea without hesitation.
Could seawater drown a magical girl? That's highly unlikely. As long as a trace of magic remains, magical girls can use their magic to breathe the oxygen in the seawater.
Alicia, having dived into the ocean, felt no discomfort whatsoever. Like a pink mermaid, she swam towards the deeper parts of the ocean, leaving a trail of pink light behind her.
After reaching a certain location in the ocean, Alicia activated the power of the Sky Witch Gem.
A colorless and formless spherical distortion appeared in front of Alicia, and then rapidly expanded. Seawater that entered the range of this spatial tremor was completely shattered by the tremor.
A nearly kilometer-wide ocean cavity then formed in front of Alicia.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding seawater rushed into the cavity, trying to fill it quickly.
The surging seawater had no effect on Alicia, who continued to release spacequakes in other directions, creating more cavities within the ocean.
After a few minutes
"Headmistress, it's alright! This tsunami will no longer pose a great threat," a magical communication message reached Alicia.
"Okay, let's head to the next place right away."
Without looking back, Alicia turned and swam towards the sea, creating a large splash as she broke through the surface, before flying towards the private jet in the air.
The top experts on the special plane were quite excited as they looked at the test data, because for those of them who had studied the ocean their whole lives, such data on artificial tsunami mitigation was extremely valuable.
But the thought that there are more than one such super tsunami, scattered across the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere, and that this is only the first wave, is truly remarkable.
These experts couldn't help but feel a deep sense of apprehension and tension.
Although the first wave of the tsunami began less than a day ago, it has already caused the deaths of hundreds of millions of people around the world. Most of the islands in the Southern Hemisphere have been swallowed up by the tsunami, and the people living on those islands have naturally all perished in this tsunami.
And the number of people affected is over a billion.
As for economic losses, there's no need to keep track of them anymore. The economy is only useful when people are alive; it's meaningless when people are gone.
Fortunately, after the first tsunami, subsequent tsunamis were relatively smaller and affected only a limited number of cities. This was because the first tsunami had already flooded the areas it could reach, so subsequent tsunamis naturally had little impact.
Even after a natural disaster, humanity still needs to live, but the immense loss of life caused by this unprecedented natural disaster to human civilization has exceeded the combined death toll of any natural disaster and war in history.
All coastal cities in the Southern Hemisphere were hit by the first wave of the tsunami, with most of the islands in Southeast Asia being submerged.
The number of people missing or dead worldwide in this tsunami is estimated to be around 5 million, but it may be more, because in many places it is impossible to count. Wherever the tsunami hit, all that can be seen are destroyed ruins and bodies swollen from being soaked in seawater.
However, this is truly the best possible outcome.
Thanks to the efforts of magical girls, especially Alicia, Emilia, and Du Shushu, who took control of witch powers, the most populous countries in the world, such as China, Mu, and India, managed to withstand the first wave of the tsunami, preventing China and Mu from suffering significant damage.
Although this relatively small death toll is close to 100,000, compared to the tens or hundreds of millions of deaths in other places, it can be said to be small, or even minor.
In this natural disaster, the most eye-catching figures were undoubtedly the magical girls, whose active presence on the front lines in the face of the tsunami was clearly seen by people all over the world.
Her youthful and beautiful appearance, her courage to stand up and face the tsunami, and her amazing and powerful strength have all left a very deep impression on people all over the world.
Besides the magical girls, Shenzhou also attracted much attention. The people of Shenzhou knew that in the crucial three days before the tsunami broke out, Shenzhou concentrated all the electricity it could gather, converted it into magic power and sent it to Emilia, which allowed the Antarctic glaciers to be refrozen in time, thus achieving the best possible outcome.
After the natural disaster, China spared no effort in providing assistance to other affected countries, which made many people feel even more favorably toward China.
In addition, Shenzhou is the birthplace of many magical girls, and the most famous magical girl from Shenzhou, Du Shushu, has saved many people. For various reasons, many people all over the world want to settle in Shenzhou, the safest country in the world today.
"Little Seele, what are you going to do with this little purple butterfly you made? Hmm? It looks familiar?"
Fu Shi looked curiously at the little purple butterfly in Xi'er's hand. Although it was a little person decorated with many butterflies, its appearance seemed familiar to Fu Shi.
"It's used as a messenger to send those resurrected spirits back to death. As for its appearance, well, it's copied."
Seele explained.
Fu Shi suddenly poked the little man's soft, tender face.
"In that case, wouldn't you be considered the mother of this little purple butterfly? Is she your daughter?"
"Ah... well, I guess it should count, right?"
Chapter 417 Forever
"Eden..."
Alicia nestled softly in Eden's arms, her gentle murmurs making Eden tenderly stroke her long pink hair.
"There are so many people!"
So many people...
"They're all dead..."
Eden did not answer, but listened quietly to Alicia's story.
Three months have passed since that natural disaster, and Alicia and all the magical girls have spent the last three months traveling around the world to the disaster-stricken areas to save as many lives as possible.
During this time, Alicia saw too many corpses and became numb to them; she never imagined such a day would come.
The bodies she saw were only a tiny fraction of the actual death toll; the vast majority of the bodies had been swept away by the tsunami and were nowhere to be found.
But even if it was only a small portion, the sight of swollen, waterlogged corpses scattered everywhere was still unsettling.
Sometimes Alicia had to personally destroy the mountains of corpses, otherwise the corpses that had been soaked in seawater and piled up would inevitably cause a plague.
After each trip to the disaster area, Alicia's heart grew heavier and heavier. Every time she closed her eyes, she seemed to see mountains of corpses.
Fortunately, Alicia's best friend Eden is an excellent musician who is very good at playing music and helps Alicia relieve her distress and sadness.
“?~??~?”
Eden's soft humming seemed to have a healing effect on people's hearts. Under her humming, Alicia's exhausted heart gradually regained peace, and Alicia unknowingly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Eden reached out and picked up Alicia. Her expression still held sadness and pain, and the tear stains on her delicate face made Alicia look broken. At this moment, she looked like a sleeping princess being held in Eden's arms.
Eden carried Alicia into his room and gently placed her on the soft bed.
“?~?~??”
Eden continued to hum an unknown lullaby, allowing Alicia to get better rest and sleep.
She gazed softly at Alicia, and after Alicia fell into a deeper sleep, a faint smile appeared on Eden's lips.
Then Eden sat on the edge of the bed, gently leaning down, her face close to Alicia's, their high, full breasts gently bumping and pressing against each other.
The soft touch against her chest and the face of Alicia so close to her made Eden's expression slightly flushed and her breathing gradually quicken. She reached out and stroked Alicia's face, and finally, Eden couldn't help but give Alicia's delicate, smooth, and fair face a light peck.
Alicia, it smells so good.
Eden was filled with joy.
She stared intently at the sleeping Alicia, wanting, desperately wanting, to remember the lovely and beautiful girl named Alicia for the rest of her life.
No, it's longer than a lifetime. Even if stars fall, black holes collapse, and the universe goes into heat death, it will never be forgotten.
We are the Lawbringers, the true Lawbringers. We are the embodiment of the laws in the infinite universe, intertwined and influencing one another.
"I will always be by your side." Eden lowered his head and buried it in Alicia's long pink hair, smelling a faint fragrance. The two women's tall and perfect bodies were pressed tightly together.
"Wow......"
"..."
Eden raised his head, his eyelids drooping slightly, and a hint of regret showed in his golden pupils.
The other Herrschers were all crowded behind the spatial portal opened by Sirin, looking at Eden and the sleeping Alicia with curiosity and excitement.
Eden's lips moved slightly as he began to count.
Wendy quickly pulled Fu Shi over; it was she who had made the sound.
"Hehe," Fu Shi chuckled, feigning ignorance, then quickly urged Xilin to close the spatial door. However, at that moment, the edge of the spatial door was grabbed by a hand.
"Alicia is mine, Alicia is mine, Alicia is mine, Alicia is mine, Alicia is mine, Alicia is mine, Alicia is mine, Alicia is mine..."
Eden saw a pair of fierce orange-red eyes peer out. A girl with long blue-purple hair and a face exactly like Alicia's was clinging tightly to the edge of the portal, glaring at Eden through gritted teeth.
"Hmph," Eden revealed a victorious smile, stretched out his left hand and probed into the mouth of the sleeping Alicia, stirring it a few times, then raised his left hand and made a peace sign.
The clear liquid flowed down Eden's fingers. It had no strange smell, only a fragrance that was exactly the same as the scent emanating from Alicia.
In contrast to the slightly smug smile on Eden's face, on the other side of the portal, the other Herrschers were desperately trying to restrain the Herrscher of Corruption, Ellie, who was furious and on the verge of exploding with rage.
"I'll stab you to death, I ......"
As the portal slowly closed, Eden gently sucked on his finger.
After seeing no other Herrschers, Eden lowered his head and hugged Alicia tightly again, then took a deep breath of Alicia's scent, which made Eden's face even rosier and his eyes a little hazy, but he quickly regained his clarity.
"My Alicia..."
Eden murmured softly, not taking any further steps, because she knew she needed to be patient. Alicia had not yet completed her transformation and had not yet truly become the Herrscher of Origin.
