Chapter 429 The Second Great Collapse (4)

"Everyone should remain vigilant, but also be careful to control their emotions!"

Muirsey quickly noticed that the amusement park staff were acting strangely; they seemed to harbor great malice towards Seele's soft and sweet appearance.

Muirsay then immediately connected everyone's communications.

"Yes... Director." Faced with Muirsay's orders, the staff had no choice but to obey.

At least on the surface, the emotions of the soldiers who had been temporarily converted into staff members were calmed down.

Alicia remained silent upon seeing this.

She could understand these people's anger and hatred towards the witch. The tsunami disaster caused by the Ice Witch affected the whole world, and its aftereffects were the same, impacting too many families.

“Let’s go and meet that old man,” Muirsey said, holding Alicia’s hand.

"Should we... tell her about the Sixth Witch?"

Alicia asked.

"Um"

Muirsay nodded.

She then looked at Xia Die, who stood to the side with an 'indifferent' expression.

"Miss Xia Die, would you like to come in with us?"

The invisible butterfly quickly retrieved the short article she had written and the painting she had finished, and swiftly returned to her aloof and indifferent appearance.

"Hmm," she responded, then transformed into a purple butterfly phantom and flew to Muirsey's shoulder.

Seeing this, Muirsey and Alicia entered the amusement park together.

The children at Cocolia Orphanage were having a blast at the playground; they had almost never been to such a fun-filled amusement park before.

Seele and her friends also rode the carousel together, their laughter filling the air.

And all of this was observed by Cocolia, the director of Cocolia's orphanage.

She was sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree, her aged eyes watching the children running around.

She didn't know what those people were trying to do, but if they wanted to hurt these children, then this octogenarian woman was still willing to fight back!

Muirse and Alicia came to Cocolia's side.

"Hello, Grandma Cocolia"

They greeted Cocolia with smiles.

"...What exactly do you want to do?"

When Cocolia saw Muirseth, she was somewhat surprised. She could tell at a glance that this young girl with flaxen hair and a frail figure was actually the commander of this army.

Cocolia had noticed that all the staff members were soldiers, but she hadn't expected that they would look at the girl with such respect.

However, this made Cocolia even more puzzled. What exactly were they trying to achieve?

"Have you seen the news in recent years? Various natural disasters have occurred frequently, including the global tsunami."

"Although I'm old, I'm still hard of hearing; I've heard all of that before."

"Then you should also be aware of just how massive the casualties are caused by natural disasters; at least 5 million people have died directly."

"...What are you trying to say?"

"The cause of those natural disasters, resulting in countless deaths and displacements, was witches; they were the ones who triggered those disasters."

Cocolia didn't believe it at all; she didn't believe in the existence of this so-called witch! Upon hearing Muirses's words, she widened her aged eyes and stared directly at Muirses.

Muirse's expression was indifferent. The existence of the witch was a secret, but not a secret. Most people knew that the witch existed, and some knew that the natural disasters were caused by the witch. Only a small number of people still did not believe that the witch existed.

After all, moths chasing fire and governments around the world often use natural disasters as an excuse to gloss over problems.

Muirsey, naturally, neither wanted to nor could she explain anything further to the old woman; she simply raised her hand.

Suddenly, Cocolia noticed a stream of water materializing out of thin air in front of her. She quickly removed the pistol she was carrying and disassembled it into countless parts.

"That little girl named Seele"

Alicia then spoke up.

"A witch lurks within her, capable of unleashing something akin to a natural disaster."

Cocolia watched as the pistol parts clattered to the ground, then looked up at the two stunningly beautiful girls before her.

The water in the hands of the slender girl was slowly disappearing.

"We don't know the extent of the natural disaster that the Sixth Witch might cause. The only thing we can do is to relocate as many people as possible from surrounding countries."

Muirsey continued.

Cocolia stared blankly and dejectedly lowered her hand. Was there no way she could save the children?

"So, we have to find a way to keep Seele locked up?"

Cocolia looked at Muirsay and spoke in a low voice.

She had watched Seele grow up over the past ten years, how could she possibly be that witch? For the past ten years, Seele had been no different from any other ordinary child who grew up in an orphanage.

Muirse simply nodded calmly. Regardless of whether Cocolia agreed or not, Seele, who was suspected of possessing the Sixth Witch, would eventually be locked up somewhere for research.

“Perhaps I can make you understand,” Alicia’s voice made both Muirsey and Cocolia look at her.

"?" Muirsay was puzzled, but then a possibility came to mind.

This... this woman, who's over eighty years old, can become a magical girl?!

Cocolia looked at Alicia with a puzzled expression.

"So, Ms. Cocolia, would you like to become a magical girl? That way you'll understand what we're talking about."

Cocolia fell silent. It wasn't that she didn't know about magical girls, but she only knew from watching TV; the children in the orphanage often gathered together to watch TV.

In recent years, many works about magical girls have emerged, and I occasionally see Cocolia.

Magical girl

“Then come on, give it a try,” Cocolia said nonchalantly.

She is already over eighty years old. She was a soldier when she was young and has experienced all kinds of things and upheavals since then. What hasn't she seen?

Cocolia then accepted a pink crystal flower that Alicia had conjured.

The next second, a dazzling light shone from Cocolia's body.

The children from the orphanage not far away all noticed the light coming from Grandma Cocolia's direction, and then they all ran over instinctively. Seele and her friends also ran over together.

When the light faded, Cocolia stood there, stunned, feeling the abundant vitality and energy she had only possessed decades ago.

Looking at the blonde beauty in front of them, Alicia and Muirse were both surprised; Cocolia was quite pretty when she was young.

“Seele…”

Cocolia didn't pay too much attention to her own changes. She looked at Seele who was walking over. At this moment, Cocolia could clearly feel the magical reaction coming from Seele. It was a pure, extremely dangerous and destructive magic.

"Cocolia, Grandma?" The children surrounded Cocolia, hesitantly looking up at her, now with a curvaceous figure and a mature, voluptuous physique.

They all remembered Grandma Cocolia showing them photos when she told them stories, and how Grandma Cocolia looked exactly like the photos of her when she was young!

“Come here, children,” Cocolia crouched down and put her arms around the children around her, including Seele.

Then, she looked up at Alicia and Muirses with pleading eyes.

"Please, save her!"

Chapter 430 The Second Great Collapse (5)

Xia Die watched all of this silently.

She has learned who the witches are who caused the natural disasters and killed countless people.

This puzzled her greatly.

For Seele's mother and aunts, the survival of humanity is meaningless; Earth is just an ordinary planet.

Although the bodies of those who died were destroyed, their souls had all been transferred to the Underworld Sea. From Xia Die's perspective, these humans were not actually dead.

If enough containers are found again, hundreds of millions of humans can be resurrected.

In contrast, those humans purified by Alicia were truly dead; their souls and any remaining vengeful spirits had been obliterated.

The humans that Seele's mother resurrected were simply other people who possessed the memories of the dead.

So, why is that?

Xia Die gazed at the petite and soft-looking Xi'er's mother, firmly imprinting her tender appearance in her heart, feeling as if her heart had been scratched by a cat.

Mom is so cute!

Then, Xia Die saw hope Er's mother suddenly blink her ocean-blue eyes at her.

Xia Die's eyes immediately wandered, she felt that Xi'er's mother had discovered her thoughts.

Xia Die knew there were still many things she didn't understand about Xi'er's mother and the others, but she knew that Xi'er's mother and the others were her dearest and most beloved family.

Therefore, Xia Die glanced at Alicia and Muerses beside her, realizing that she was truly powerless to help.

She wasn't worried about what others could do to Seele's mother, since Seele's mother's current body was formed from the power of the Nether Sea, and others could only access the power of the Nether Sea.

Seeing Xier's mother so happy at the amusement park, Xia Die was also filled with excitement.

A few days later

The news that the Sixth Witch had been captured reached all the magical girls, causing them to erupt in excitement.

This matter itself was difficult to keep secret. It involved relocating the population of Estonia and the surrounding area, and Alicia and Mules went there together. However, there was no news of any human or magical girl deaths afterward. It was easy to guess that they had easily defeated the 6th Witch.

Subsequently, high-ranking officials from various countries also learned of the capture of the Sixth Witch.

Although the message sent to them stated that the Sixth Witch was not actually captured, but rather, for some reason, was being held captive by a little girl.

Even so, many still see this as a major victory, a solid step forward for humanity in its fight against the witch.

The news of the capture of the Sixth Witch was so shocking that many people’s attention was diverted, and Russia’s reconstruction of the Soviet Union became less important.

High-ranking officials from many countries held meetings overnight to discuss how to maximize research on witches, ideally developing a method to unlock human potential.

In secret meetings around the world, representatives from some countries are calling for a thorough study of the witch.

"For the sake of human civilization! No matter the cost, we must thoroughly and deeply study the existence of witches, their power, and their authority!"

"For the sake of the safety of human civilization, we also need to eliminate the threat of the witch!"

The British representative didn't use any formulaic language; instead, he directly raised this idea during the meeting.

"We should study witches, but we cannot do so at the cost of human lives! The Sixth Witch is currently inside a poor, innocent little girl. What we must do is to eliminate the witch while ensuring our own safety and save everyone's life!"

The French representative directly retorted to the British representative's words.

"We do not agree with the British representative's statement! We must be extremely careful in dealing with the witch and avoid any preventable casualties!"

The representative from China also spoke.

“Me too!” echoed the representative sent by the newly re-established Soviet Union.

"The same applies to us. The threat of the witch must be dealt with, but not at the cost of the majority of lives!"

The U.S. representative nodded in agreement with the Chinese representative's words.

“Me too!” the Soviet representative echoed.

These words resonated with representatives from many countries. Although saving every life is extremely difficult, most people would rather follow a saint who would actively save lives than a madman who shouts that he doesn't care what the cost.

If one day, the vast majority of people have to pay the price, then only a very small number of elites and high-level individuals will survive!

The representatives of Britain and France thus clearly divided into two factions at this international conference, with the vast majority of countries supporting unification.

Only a very small number of countries stand on the side of human supremacy.

The conflict between the two factions is essentially about choosing between magical girls and humans.

The difference between the two grows ever wider: magical girls are beautiful, powerful, pure, and kind-hearted. Humans, on the other hand, seem so weak, their hearts filled with the contradictions of black and white.

The Unification Faction is represented by China, Mu Continent, the United States, and the New Soviet Union. Due to their large populations, these four countries have the most magical girls and are the most influenced by magical girls.

They all regard magical girls as one of humanity and are committed to achieving the true unification of humanity.
