The monster that entered Earth's atmosphere did indeed appear to be dead.
It seems that the seven familiars of the seventh witch, who flew from the sun to Earth, are all confirmed dead.
But Muirsey still dared not let his guard down and maintained a high level of testing.
Sun, St. Freya Herrscher Academy, Herrscher of Flame Department
"Himeko-sensei, I've been desecrated by humans! And they even ground my bones to ashes!"
The blonde, golden-eyed girl clung pitifully to Himeko's arm and cried out.
Although it was just a little fun, those humans and female students went too far. The blonde girl just watched as the giant monster she was controlling was reduced to ashes, leaving not a single hair behind.
"Himeko-sensei! My little monster died too!" Another red-haired girl also cried out, her rose-red eyes brimming with tears as she hugged Himeko's other arm.
"Himeko-sensei, waaaaah..."
"Himeko-sensei..."
The seven girls who controlled the monsters all tried to whine and cry to Himeko, and they even exchanged barbs with each other in secret.
"Cough cough!"
Seeing the girls becoming increasingly outrageous, Himeko coughed a few times with an air of authority.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the expectant and envious gazes of the girls emerging from the classroom door.
"Let the other students go on stage."
As soon as Himeko finished speaking, an excited commotion erupted at the classroom door.
"Yay! Our turn!!!"
"It's my turn! It's my turn!"
Unlike the other students at the door, the seven girls inside the classroom all looked dejected and sad.
How could we fail so quickly?
"I've told you all before, don't underestimate your female classmates."
Ji Zi said with a smile.
"But it's clearly Teacher Fu Shi..." the blonde, golden-eyed girl said in a rather resentful voice.
"Hey hey hey, I'm listening. What do you want?" Fu Shi's voice suddenly came from the classroom.
The blonde, golden-eyed girl shuddered instantly, her expression changing to an elegant and gentle smile.
"Hello, Teacher Fu Shi"
Himeko said helplessly.
"Xiao Shi, look at you! You've scared the child half to death!"
However, the talisman had already left by then.
The blonde girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A thought suddenly flashed through the girl's mind, and she couldn't help but smile again.
"Himeko-sensei, I think the Herrscher Academy should hold a sports meet? Let the upperclassmen and underclassmen from other Herrscher departments come and have fun! Have fun!"
When she said the last three words, the blonde girl was smiling, and her pronunciation was very clear.
"Okay, okay!"
"School Sports Meet!"
The girls outside the classroom also entered, and they were all quite happy after hearing the blonde girl's suggestion.
"I see," Himeko said with a smile.
Of course, she saw through the girl's little scheme. If she couldn't handle the mischievous teacher Fu Shi, surely she could handle the students of the Herrscher of Knowledge department?!
Are you confident?
"Yes!" The students from the Herrscher of Flame department also became interested and shouted in unison.
"Okay, in that case, I'll contact the other law enforcement departments to see when we can organize a school sports meet."
"However, that's for later. Next, you'll draw lots to decide who will be in the second batch."
As soon as Himeko finished speaking, the previously harmonious scene in the classroom suddenly froze. The students of the Herrscher of Flame department looked at each other and stared at one another.
There are only seven spots available in the second batch.
Earth, Antarctic Lighthouse Base
"There are still many questions that remain, but the more important thing now is how to deal with the suspected 7th Witch and her retinue located in the sun."
During the international conference, Muirsay informed the leaders of the current situation.
But after consulting with their respective staff and advisors, they all expressed helplessness. The same was true for Shenzhou; no one knew how to deal with the 7th witch who seemed to be hiding in the sun.
The Earth is a full 1.5 million kilometers away from the Sun!
Such a distance is truly frustrating. Even if the teleporter can travel directly from Earth to the Moon, it still needs coordinates on the Sun's surface to travel to the Sun.
But having coordinates alone isn't enough to teleport them there; we also need to find a way to ensure that the army or magical girls fighting the witch can withstand temperatures of at least 5,000 degrees Celsius or even 10 million degrees Celsius!
It's even possible that the 7th witch might enter the interior of the sun.
Muirse was also helpless. The database of the Witch of Reason also contained technological creations and technical data that could operate on the surface or even inside the sun, but the problem was that these alone were not enough to defeat the 7th Witch.
The meeting failed to produce any results, and everyone was at a loss.
However, seven days later, with the appearance of the 7th Witch's second batch of familiars, Muirse and the others couldn't help but feel anxious. No one knew what else the 7th Witch would do besides sending out her familiars.
The Seventh Witch is on the sun! Whether she will cause a large-scale and intense solar activity is completely unknown!
"Contact the Shenzhou Air Force immediately! I need them to join the magical girls in intercepting the Seventh Witch's retinue!"
Upon seeing the message from the space probe array, Muirsay immediately instructed the intelligence officer to contact China.
"Understood!" The intelligence officer immediately contacted the Chinese side.
A newly built large air force base somewhere in China
The sudden alarm sounded, and all the Shenzhou pilots and ground crew members immediately put aside their unrelated tasks and quickly went to their respective posts.
"Airborne nuclear fusion reactor test complete! Everything is normal!"
"Energy route detection complete! Everything is normal!"
"All indicators are green, ready for takeoff!!!"
The Shenzhou Air Force general in charge of the operation subsequently issued orders.
The Shenzhou pilots who entered the Chongming Space Fighter were all wearing fully armed exoskeleton powered armor. After receiving the order, they almost simultaneously pulled the control stick.
The Chongming Space Fighter is quite large, twice the size of a regular fighter jet. However, because it is equipped with an onboard nuclear fusion reactor and high-energy beam weapons, these massive space fighters hardly need to worry about ammunition issues, and can also take off and land vertically!
Almost simultaneously, over a hundred Chongming aerospace fighter jets took off from this Shenzhou Air Force base.
Thanks to breakthroughs in Shenzhou's mobile construction technology, the newly developed Chongming aerospace fighter jet was able to enter mass production at an extremely fast pace.
When the exhaust plumes of more than 500 Chongming aerospace fighters simultaneously pierced the sky and headed straight for outer space, many people on the ground could witness this breathtaking scene in the sky.
Hundreds of 'meteor' trails streaked across the sky, and were even more dazzling and denser than a meteor shower.
Everyone in China knows that it is a new type of aerospace fighter developed by China. At this moment, their eyes are filled with pride, and dragon-shaped patterns appear in the pupils of every Chinese person.
地球外太空
As Alicia watched the Shenzhou Chongming aircraft group burst out of the atmosphere, she immediately sent a communication to the Shenzhou aircraft group.
"Hi! I'm Alicia! I'm happy to fight alongside you!"
She flew towards the Chongming aircraft formation and saw the Shenzhou pilots among the Chongming aerospace fighters.
However, Alicia did not notice that the dragon-shaped pattern in the eyes of the Shenzhou pilots gradually disappeared.
"Principal!" A cheerful voice came through the communicator.
"I and everyone else are very happy to fight alongside you!"
To Alicia's surprise, the one leading this Chongming machine fleet was her student, Su Youyou from the fifth class of Shenzhou, who was also the first magical girl to enter space!
"I will be the spearhead of this attack!" Su Youyou piloted a specially made Chongming, positioned like the core at the center of the Chongming fleet.
"Let's work together to completely annihilate those enemies!"
Alicia and the other magical girls were listening to Su Youyou's words.
"Yes! We will defeat any enemy!" Alicia was also very happy.
Not far away, seven beams of light from the sun are gradually approaching the Earth-Moon region.
Antarctic Lighthouse Base
Muirseth was manipulating the Law of the Rings to observe the situation in space.
"Just as I suspected, the Seventh Witch's familiars began to change after entering the Earth-Moon region; their speed became extremely slow."
Her tone suggested she knew it all along.
"There must be something unusual in the Earth-Moon region that has caused changes in the Seventh Witch's familiars, forcing them to become much weaker."
But what exactly was that anomaly? Where did it come from? And who orchestrated it?
Muirsey watched as the battle erupted in space.
The second batch of the Seventh Witch's familiars, like the previous ones, were all monsters of the same kind. They began to band together and attack the magical girls simultaneously.
However, after the last battle, the magical girls began to cooperate more closely in combat, while the Chongming machine group of Shenzhou was waiting for its opportunity.
But not long after, Muirsay suddenly received a call from China.
A senior executive at China Mobile contacted Director Muirsay.
We have a plan.
"Please speak."
"Our scientists have proposed an alternative plan for the sun-bathing project, but instead of an offensive weapon, it's a giant energy shield."
"Energy shield? How big is it?"
"Müllerse asked."
Simply intercepting them might not be enough to completely stop the Seventh Witch's familiars. She seems to be more inclined to just engage in minor skirmishes, as evidenced by the fact that there were only seven monsters involved in both instances.
But the Seventh Witch won't keep doing this forever; there will likely be even fiercer attacks in the future.
Muirsey was also pondering how to defend himself.
"If the solar bathing device were large enough, it could cover the entire Earth."
"..."
Upon hearing the words of the high-ranking officials of China, Muirsay's thoughts suddenly paused briefly.
"A planetary-level energy shield?"
Muirsey asked, stunned.
The senior executives at Shenzhou nodded, and then continued.
"The Sunbathing Project can be used not only as a weapon, but also as a protective shield! Furthermore, due to the special nature of magic, the high-energy particle beams fired by the Sunbathing Project's weapons can penetrate the shield and directly reach space, serving as a space defense device on the Earth's surface."
Muirsey suddenly felt a strong urge to visit China. The rapid pace of technological advancement in China was like a technological explosion, always bringing her a sense of awe and surprise.
"I will fully support your Sunbathing Plan! Weapons and shields, I want them all!"
Muirsay immediately made a decision.
Once the weapons and shields of the Sunbathing Project are all completed, Earth and human civilization can be safely protected! Then the magical girls can fight the witch with greater peace of mind!
"Have you calculated how large the planetary-level shield for the Sunbathing Project would need? And where do you plan to build it?"
"That's what the senior executive at China Mobile replied."
"Our scientists have demonstrated that such a planetary-level shield would need to be approximately 1200 meters high to create a planetary-level shield that completely covers the entire Earth."
"We measured the location of several targets and finally selected one place."
"Within the territory of China, Mount Taixu"
