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

The seven girls had already removed their hands from the control lever.

"Ah, we lost."

That's a foul!

"How could this happen? Our plans are completely ruined!"

The girls sighed helplessly.

On the screen in front of them, thousands of colored beams of light burst forth in unison.

8 days later

Alicia and the other magical girls were watching Earth from St. Freya Space City, but at the same time, they were also keeping an eye on the sun's condition.

"Headmistress, they're about to start," a magical girl's reminder reached Alicia's ears, after which she turned off the video call with Eden.

"Yes, I'm here," Alicia replied with a smile to the magical girl, then walked towards the observation deck.

On the observation deck, many magical girls were already discussing the situation on Earth with great interest.

The Tower of Babel has been completed.

Yes, in just 8 days, China completed the construction of the 1200-meter-high Tower of Babel, which is ready for use at any time.

At this moment, it is time to test the final effect of the planetary shield generated by the Tower of Babel, namely, to defend against the attacks of the 7th Witch and her retinue.

"The people of Shenzhou are amazing! They were the first to complete the research on teleportation technology and mastered their mobile construction technology. I heard it's called the Fulong Palace, and it looks like a very beautiful and majestic palace!"

"That's how they were able to build a massive Tower of Babel in just a few days!"

"Hmph, not only that, there are also construction blueprints and building materials, the relocation of the original city, and the coordination of material dispatch personnel—all of these are very important. But Shenzhou completed them all smoothly!"

The magical girls from Shenzhou were all modest after hearing these words praising their hometown, but the other magical girls could see the smiles on their faces that they couldn't suppress.

"Look everyone, it's ready to begin!"

The magical girls all looked towards Earth, and then they saw a magnificent pillar of light suddenly rise from somewhere on the blue Earth. They could all feel the immense magical power emanating from the pillar.

Then, the beam of light spread out in outer space, forming a huge orange shield that enveloped the Earth.

The blue Earth thus turned into an orange planet.

"Hmm, the Earth has changed color!"

"Yes"

"Hehe, it's only temporary. The shield can change color at any time."

While the magical girls were talking, the orange-colored Earth quickly returned to its original azure blue.

"Looks like it's already successful?" Alicia asked curiously.

"Not yet. The Sunbathing Defense System has been improved. It can now gather and fire light directly from the shield, without needing any other devices. Now we still need to see how it defends against the Seventh Witch's attacks," Su Youyou explained with a smile beside Alicia.

The Sun Defense System is a collective term for the planetary shields and defensive beams generated by the Tower of Babel.

Soon after, the magical girls saw the sun become active again, with the same large-scale solar flare erupting as a few days ago, still bombarding the Earth.

At this moment, the magical girls stopped discussing anything and instead watched the situation on Earth with tension.

There aren't actually many magical girls in St. Freya Space City. The vast majority of magical girls are currently on Earth, so that if there's any problem with the Sun Defense System, they can protect Earth immediately.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

The planetary shield of the Sun Defense System withstood the bombardment of solar flares without even producing any significant ripples.

Even after this solar flare bombardment ended, the solar defense system did not experience any problems.

"The Sun Defense System is operating normally, and energy consumption is within expectations."

"We can rest assured about the condition of Earth!"

Muirsey's voice came through the Space City's broadcast a short while later.

Upon hearing Muirse's words, the magical girls excitedly celebrated.

At this moment, inside the lighthouse base and in every corner of the earth, everyone who looked up saw that the second solar flare bombardment had been averted, and almost everyone celebrated.

Muirsey had no intention of celebrating or being happy at this moment; she contacted Alicia.

"Sia, it's time to prepare to head to the sun for battle. But just in case, you must bring all the witch's gems."

Muirse's words left Alicia somewhat puzzled.

"Why bring all the witch's gems?"

Hearing Alicia's question, Muirse patiently explained.

"This time, unlike the other witches, the Seventh Witch is inside the sun. You must defeat the Seventh Witch while protecting the sun as much as possible. If anything happens to the sun, the Earth will be severely affected."

"The sun and the earth are equally important!"

Alicia nodded, but then she added.

"However, I took all the Witch's Gems with me. What if something happens after that?"

Muirsey didn't seem to care much about the question, and she answered with a smile.

"It has already been confirmed that the area between the Earth and the Moon greatly restricts the use of magic, but the reason is still unknown. And it's only a few minutes' journey from the Earth and the Moon to the Sun."

"Didn't you go to Mars before? Back then, Mars was farther from Earth than the Sun was from Earth."

"I believe in you, you can definitely defeat the 7th Witch in a short time!"

Alicia didn't hesitate any longer and answered Muirsey firmly.

"Okay! I understand. I will definitely defeat the 7th Witch as soon as possible!"

"When do I leave?!"

Alicia asked immediately.

"Tomorrow, let everyone enter space first. After their magic power has recovered, we'll gather everyone's magic power for you."

"Huh? All of them?"

Alicia was somewhat surprised after hearing Muirse's words.

How can all the magical powers of magical girls be concentrated on her?

"Of course, isn't this the fastest way to defeat the Seventh Witch?"

"......good!"

Alicia felt a surge of excitement, but also a heavy sense of responsibility. She would shoulder the magic of all the magical girls, carry all the witch's gems, and journey to the sun to defeat the 7th witch.

After ending her communication with Muels, Alicia looked at Earth. As usual, the Seventh Witch's familiars sent seven monsters to Earth, but this time, Earth no longer needed the protection of magical girls.

Several thick beams of light suddenly converged in outer space and then blasted violently at the seven-headed monsters that had suddenly frozen in place, annihilating them in the blink of an eye.

"Wuhu, a resounding success!"

"Headmistress, I quickly took down those seven monsters after immobilizing them!"

Alicia received a message from Du Shushu, who had just frozen the seven monsters flying toward Earth, allowing the Sunbathing Defense System to launch a surprise attack and kill them.

“Shushu is amazing!” Alicia replied with a smile.

"hey-hey"

Inside the Tower of Babel, Du Shushu smiled happily, but she didn't notice that the dragon-shaped patterns in her eyes were glowing.

St. Freya Lawyer Academy

"It looks like I'll be leaving soon," Himeko said, swirling her wine glass, slightly tipsy.

"Ha! Don't worry, my time to shine will come soon!"

Fu Shi held a jar of wine, gulped it down, and then laughed loudly.

Himeko tilted her head.

"By the way, how did we end up switching places?" Himeko raised her wine cup, looked at the wine inside, and then at the large jar of wine that Fu Shi had finished drinking.

Previously, Himeko was drinking heavily while Fu Shi was sipping slowly, but this time it was the other way around: Himeko was sipping slowly while Fu Shi was chugging down the wine jar.

"Whatever, it's all about drinking anyway, just do whatever makes you comfortable," Fu Shi waved his hand dismissively.

Not far from them, other Herrschers were eating snacks, playing games, or petting their pets.

"Where's Eden?" After playing with the cat in her arms for a while, Celine looked around and found that Eden was not there.

"Guess?" Wendy asked back with interest.

“I won’t guess,” Sirin said with a raised eyebrow and a soft snort.

Even without guessing, she knew that if Eden wasn't here, he must be with Alicia.

Who could blame her? The Herrscher of Corruption standing right in front of Sirin was gritting her teeth and staring intently at the surveillance footage.

Evening on Earth

Just as Alicia was about to have dinner with Muirsey, she received a message from Eden.

"What's wrong, Eden?" Alicia asked with a smile.

“Alice… there’s something I want to tell you,” Eden said, his voice filled with hesitation and worry.

Alicia was taken aback. She had known Eden for so many years, and apart from calling her by her full name when they first met, Eden had always called her by her affectionate nickname.

But why now?

Alicia also noticed the worry in Eden's tone, and she immediately felt that something serious might have happened.

"Eden? What happened? Where are you? I'm coming right away!"

Alicia asked nervously.

Eden was a close friend of Alicia's, almost as important as Muses and Emilia, and Alicia was very worried that something might have happened to Eden.

"Yes, I'm at home now, you..."

Eden's voice was hesitant and stammering. This was the first time Alicia had heard Eden in such a state, and Alicia couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Don't hang up, wait for me!" Alicia immediately contacted the Fire Moth and prepared to teleport.

Meanwhile, at Eden's manor...

Upon hearing Alicia's anxious voice, Eden's face flushed slightly, and his long, shapely legs involuntarily clenched and rubbed together.

'Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia'

Eden felt ashamed of deceiving Alicia, but also somewhat pleased. Her heart was completely filled with Alicia's every smile and gesture; every action of Alicia's was deeply etched into Eden's mind.

"Soon, very soon we'll be together forever," Eden whispered, waving his hand to block the gaze of a certain Corruptor who was gritting his teeth and peeking.

In just a few minutes, Alicia was teleported directly from St. Freya Space City to her manor in Eden on the continent of Mu.

She sensed Eden from afar and flew into the manor without hesitation.

The maids in the manor saw the pink light shining in the night, so they consciously and quickly finished what they were doing and left the manor, leaving it to Eden and Alicia.

Alicia arrived at Eden's room.

The room was dark, but Alicia could still see Eden's figure in the darkness. However, as soon as she turned on the light, she saw Eden sitting on the edge of the bed with a pale face and a bad expression.

"Eden! What happened?!" Alicia rushed forward and grabbed Eden's hands.

However, Alicia was surprised to find that Eden's hands were so cold.

It was only then that Alicia realized that Eden seemed to be just an ordinary person with a little money.

"Eden, are you sick? Why are your hands so cold?" Alicia asked anxiously.

“No… I’m not sick,” Eden’s lips trembled slightly.

The once strong and elegant beauty now appears incredibly delicate and soft.

"What happened?" Alicia approached Eden again, looking at him with great concern.

"..."

Eden did not answer immediately, seemingly calming himself down.

Alicia could sense that Eden was filled with sadness, pain, and fear, which puzzled Alicia greatly. What exactly was this?

Then, in the next second, Alicia suddenly widened her azure eyes and stared at Eden with disbelief.
