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

Page 277

Eden reached into her own chest and pulled out a rhombus-shaped gem that emitted a dark red light.

At this moment, Eden was emanating a faint, malevolent magical energy, and the rhombus-shaped gem was also emitting a magical energy that Alicia was extremely familiar with.

"Eden..."

"I am a witch."

Eden looked at Alicia with a bitter expression, his face pale.

"E...Eden, are you kidding me? How could you, how could you be a witch?"

"This must be fake...it must be fake!"

Alicia's voice trembled, and she managed a forced smile on her delicate face.

She quickly reached out and covered the witch's gem in Eden's hand with both hands, then raised her eyes to meet Eden's gaze, looking at his face, trying to see if he was actually joking.

But why was Eden's face still deathly pale?

"Eden, you love gemstones so much, where did you find... such a gemstone? It must have taken a lot of time and effort, right? It's so... so beautiful!"

"I almost...I almost thought it was real..."

"No, no, no, it's not true."

Alicia's voice was trembling with sobs, and tears streamed down her face. Her beautiful body trembled uncontrollably, filled with fear and terror.

"Xia"

Eden's lips twitched slightly as he spoke softly, trying to pull his hand away from the Witch's Gem, but Alicia held it tightly, her clear blue eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"do not want!"

With a sob in her voice, Alicia couldn't help but press forward and push Eden down onto the bed, using her delicate body and hands to tightly imprison Eden, unwilling to see the dark red rhombus-shaped gem.

“Love…” Eden was about to speak again, but Alicia still refused to listen and forcefully interrupted him.

"Absolutely not! Eden is definitely not a witch!!!"

Alicia and Eden's faces were almost touching, her breaths and voices ringing in Eden's ears.

"But I..."

But just as Eden was about to speak again, her lips suddenly felt a warm and soft touch.

"Well......"

Eden saw Alicia's gaze turn fierce and hard.

However, deep within Alicia's eyes lay profound fear and sorrow.

She didn't want to hear those things anymore, she didn't, absolutely, positively! Eden wasn't a witch! Eden wasn't a witch!

But...why is this happening? Why, why!

However, at that moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the door. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Alicia and Eden on the bed.

Alicia immediately noticed the gazes behind her. She slowly released Eden, stood up, and turned around to see Muirsey and Emilia.

"...Perhaps we've come at the wrong time?"

Muirsays said with some hesitation, and Emilia's gaze was also somewhat strange.

A few minutes ago

Consciousness at Rhine Life Sciences headquarters received a message from Alicia, inviting her and Emilia to prepare a meal together at Eden's manor.

Vivi, who was reporting to Muirsay, looked at her with some curiosity, wondering who had the ability to contact Muirsay directly.

Noticing Velvi's gaze, Muirsay calmly looked at her.

"What? What went wrong with the Deus Ex: Mechanism project?"

After quickly realizing Muirsay's businesslike attitude, Velvi lost interest in investigating further.

"What are the plans of the Fire Moth regarding the Seventh Witch?"

Velvi didn't know how Muels and the others were going to deal with the 7th Witch in the sun, and was just asking casually.

I heard that Mr. Christensen seems to have close ties with them and should know a lot of information.

To this day, Vervier still doesn't know how Christensen, the owner of Rhine Life, had such a close relationship with Director Muirsey and the others.

"The plan is quite simple: concentrate the magical power of the magical girls, equip them with the Witch's Gem, and head straight for the sun."

Muirsey replied.

Currently, there are as many as 13 S-class magical girls who have mastered their powers, not including Alicia, Muleseth, and Emilia, because although they were the first S-class magical girls, they have not yet mastered their powers.

However, even so, Alicia is still the strongest among all the magical girls, which is why she will take on the responsibility of going to the sun alone to fight the 7th Witch.

"Is it that simple?" Velvi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Aren't you afraid...?

Wilvi didn't finish her sentence.

"Director Muelseth is still here," Muelseth said calmly, her consciousness focused on Christen. "Governor Emilia is also here, along with 13 other S-rank magical girls."

"Although they have temporarily entrusted their magic to Alicia, it is only temporary."

Muirse continued working on the documents on her desk, not worried about whether anything would happen to Earth when Alicia went to the sun. Not to mention that Shenzhou's Sun Defense System was protecting Earth, all the magical girls were also on Earth.

They are only temporarily without magic, and besides, they recover their magic much faster in space than on Earth.

Furthermore, considering Alicia's previous flight beyond the Earth-Moon boundary, even if she cannot defeat the Seventh Witch, returning to Earth quickly would not be a difficult problem.

After hearing this, Velvi nodded and then said.

That's good.

"The Deus Ex project is nearing its final experimental stage, and we believe it will be declared a success soon."

"but......"

Wilvi suddenly stopped talking again.

"But what?"

Muirsey didn't look up and continued processing the documents.

"I discovered a very interesting little trick from the deus ex machina project."

Wilvi fell silent again, trying to arouse the curiosity of her usually cold and aloof boss.

But Muirsey remained unconcerned, asking no questions and letting Velvet stand there without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, Velvi still gave up in defeat, her face full of frustration.

"Alright, alright, Dr. Einstein and I have discovered a derivative use for the Deus Ex: time stop!"

"This isn't a pseudo-time freeze like the Ice Witch's! It's a real, massive-scale time freeze!"

"Vilvie said with great pride."

"Oh"

However, Muirsay simply gave a calm and simple response.

"...Boss, can't you be surprised for once?" Wilvi complained helplessly.

"Nothing to be surprised about."

After finishing the last batch of documents, Muirsay naturally prepared to leave the office.

"Hey? Boss, it's time to leave work already?" Wilvi checked the time; it seemed to be only 6 p.m.

"There's no need to rush the plans now; you can take a short rest."

Muirsey's voice reached Vervier's ears.

"rest......"

Wilvi was slightly taken aback.

In recent years, she has devoted herself entirely to the research of the Deus Ex project, and all her personalities have been mobilized to work, leaving her with very little free time.

A vast amount of knowledge and numerous tedious experiments and research filled Vervi's mind and body every day. She thought about all kinds of research data when she fell asleep, before going to bed, and while eating.

Now that the Deus Ex deus ex machina project has entered its final stage, Velvey suddenly learns that she can take a short break.

This left her feeling completely bewildered.

"Want to go and perform?"

"Hmm, there seem to be some areas for improvement in the plan. What do you think of this?"

"Hey, didn't you say you were going to rest?"

"I'm busy, don't make a fuss."

"..."

The personalities of Velvet argued among themselves for a while, then all silently continued to ponder the various research data.

While the main personality of Velvi racked her brains for a long time to think of what she could do for fun, she unconsciously recalled those studies.

"I feel like my head is completely filled with research data," she sighed.

But this seems like a good idea.

Let's go back to the lab.

"Strange, where are Sia and Eden?"

When Muirsey and Emilia arrived at Eden's manor, they didn't find Alicia and Eden in the kitchen, who had decided to cook for themselves.

The two of them seemed to have disappeared.

The maids in the manor had already been notified and left the manor to go home after seeing Alicia appear.

This led Muirsey and Emilia to Eden's room while they chatted.

They all knew that Alicia would always sleep with Eden whenever she came to Eden's manor, and that she should be in Eden's room.

When Muirsey and Emilia arrived at Eden's room, they heard Alicia and Eden's voices, though only slightly... well.

"...Perhaps we've come at the wrong time?"

Muirsey looked at Alicia, who had turned around, and said helplessly.

However, the smiles in Muirsey and Emilia's eyes vanished the next second, and they hurriedly went into the room.

They saw the complex emotions of fear and sadness in Alicia's eyes, but more importantly, Eden.

"Why Eden..."

Muirsey stared at Eden with a furrowed brow.

Just as I was about to explain why Eden would react like a witch, I was suddenly interrupted by Alicia's shout.

"Myu!" Alicia gritted her teeth and looked at Muirse with a hint of anger, but the tears and emotions in her eyes made Alicia look both angry and full of sorrow.

"..."

Muirses fell silent, her and Emilia's gazes fixed on Eden's hand, which was being held by Alicia.

A witch's gem that has never been seen before!

After a moment's thought, the two understood what was going on.

Because they had already seen similar situations before.

The sixth witch was in the exact same situation as Eden.

However, what puzzled Muirse and Emilia was that the Sixth Witch couldn't have taken out the Witch's Gem before she died, right? How did Eden manage to take out the Witch's Gem?

But it's also possible that it could have been taken out in the first place?

What exactly are witches? Why do situations like Seele and Eden occur among them?

Or perhaps the witches' true forms were never here? Could it be that they used witch's gems to control certain girls, turning them into tools for destroying human civilization?

In a short period of time, Muirsays pondered many things.

"Sia, are you really sure?" Emilia asked gently, looking at Alicia slowly.
