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

However, Alicia had no time to worry about any of this, and she quickly flew towards Earth.

What exactly happened to Earth?!

Chapter 448 The 8th Great Collapse (1) War (8k)

Shortly after Alicia left the Earth-Moon region.

Inside the governor's office in the capital of Mu Continent, the guards standing around the teleportation area saw a teleportation screen suddenly light up.

Their gazes remained fixed straight ahead, as if they were statues on duty, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the guards stood even straighter and their faces were even more serious.

After the teleportation light screen dissipated, Emilia, enveloped in a ring of magic, appeared before the guards.

"Swish!" The guards saluted Emilia in unison, then quickly lowered their hands.

Emilia, who slowly opened her eyes, smiled slightly and nodded, then walked out of the teleportation area.

However, the guards noticed that Emilia's face was slightly pale.

The secretary, who had been waiting around the teleportation area, quickly stepped forward.

"Madam Consul, would you like to rest for a while?"

No... that's not necessary.

Emilia originally wanted to recover her magic power a little, as it was nearly depleted, but then she remembered that she had a lot of things to deal with, so she changed her mind.

The secretary didn't say anything more and instead contacted other secretaries.

Shortly after Emilia returned to the Governor's Office, the secretaries handed over all the work that Emilia needed to handle personally to her.

However, after processing several documents, Emilia came across a strange one. It was sent by the General Intelligence Bureau of the Mu Continent. She quickly looked at it in detail, puzzled, and then immediately called her secretary to ask her about it.

What is the current state of China's military equipment?

"Madam Governor, the response from China is that everything is normal."

"Everything is normal?"

Emilia was somewhat taken aback.

What does it mean that everything is normal? Apart from not having officially announced a mobilization, all three million troops of China's army, navy, and air force have already begun to be fully armed and carrying live ammunition!

"What exactly is going on in China lately? Why hasn't the mobilization ended since the Tower of Babel was completed? Why is their army still on alert?"

"This is also what has puzzled us recently; something is very wrong with the development of China's military capabilities."

While answering, the secretary took out her work terminal, retrieved the latest intelligence about China, and then sent it to Emilia's work terminal.

"After completing its mobile construction technology, Shenzhou began nationwide urban renovation and construction, which was indeed the case at first. However, not long ago, after preparing for the Tower of Babel project, Shenzhou shifted its focus to building various integrated factories, which they said were to assist the Tower of Babel project."

The secretary couldn't help but say this as she spoke.

"However, the number of those factories clearly far exceeds what is needed to build the Tower of Babel, and they are still continuously producing various military equipment and rapidly equipping the entire army, having completely transformed into war factories."

"We have observed that many new types of military equipment are being rapidly put into service across China's army, navy, and air force."

The secretary didn't mention one more thing: those weapons and equipment were clearly not designed to deal with witches, because ordinary weapons pose no threat to witches at all, but they would be a different story when it comes to dealing with the armies of other countries.

However, after glancing at the information about Shenzhou's military equipment, Emilia naturally realized that the military equipment that Shenzhou had equipped its army with was not for dealing with witches at all, but more like for fighting a war, and a world war at that!

Emilia suddenly had a bad feeling, and she immediately contacted Muirsey, who was far away in America.

"Miao Miao! Did you notice anything unusual when you went to Shenzhou?!"

"China? Something's not right here?"

Muirsey was somewhat puzzled; what place in China was not...

Suddenly, Muels and Emilia, located in different parts of Earth, looked in the same direction almost simultaneously—the direction of Shenzhou—when a powerful, unknown magical reaction suddenly erupted.

"That's... the Tower of Babel?!... What's going on?!"

Muirsey was utterly astonished. Had the Tower of Babel's Sun Defense System activated?! But this was completely different from what she had seen and sensed in Shenzhou before!

The previous Sunbathing Defense System didn't make such a big fuss!

"What exactly is going on...?"

Emilia was also filled with confusion.

However, before she could finish speaking, she felt a massive magical reaction, along with the activation of the Sun Defense System, envelop the entire Earth.

The Earth's atmosphere was immediately enveloped by a golden-orange light that was almost visible to the naked eye, but it quickly disappeared.

The St. Freya Space City, located at the L1 Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system, also discovered this anomaly. The magical girls tried to contact Earth, but received no response.

In their haste, they discovered that an extremely terrifying magical force was covering the Earth's atmosphere, directly causing extremely strong communication interference.

Not only were various electronic communications affected, but even magical communications were disrupted for the first time.

This greatly shocked the magical girls, who quickly tried to re-establish contact, but to no avail.

The magical girls of St. Freya Space City lost contact with Principal Alicia and the Earth.

Inside Earth, as the Sun Defense System activated and the magical energy erupted, both Muels and Emilia felt their consciousness become incredibly chaotic and drowsy, as if they were about to fall asleep at any moment.

"It's a... a... witch."

Emilia slumped in her chair, clutching her head and gritting her teeth, speaking with great difficulty and in a daze.

She saw that the secretary in front of her had fainted on the ground, and the work terminal in her hand had also fallen to the ground. There were also continuous thuds coming from outside Emilia's office.

It was clear that the ordinary people in the office had been affected and had fainted.

However, Emilia could still sense that she and Muirses were still communicating, but due to their depleted magic and confused consciousness, the communication was like a thread about to break.

"Shen...zhou...!"

Muirsay managed to utter two words, albeit haltingly.

Emilia came to the conclusion almost instantly: there is another witch on Earth! And she is right here in China!

They heard a few words before their consciousness went dark.

"A salute to the great Witch of Knowledge!!!"

"Long live the great Witch of Knowledge!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you cursing about? You won't die! Say something else!"

"For the great Witch of Knowledge, I offer my heart!!!"

It seemed as if countless voices were shouting, gradually converging into a single sentence.

"I offer my heart to the great Witch of Knowledge!!!"

Muirsey's consciousness was hazy; she still felt very sleepy. She wanted to think, but her mind was too chaotic to think at all.

"2"

Muirsey struggled to spell out a number in his mind.

"3"

Then, she tried her best to spell out another number.

"5"

Muirsey felt her consciousness returning slightly, but it was still incredibly muddled. She continued to use her slightly restored consciousness to spell out the third number.

"7"

She continued, but her consciousness remained filled with confusion and drowsiness.

"11"

Muirsey struggled to think, continuing to piece together the numbers.

"13"

Muirsey suddenly opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and gasped for breath.

"2, 3... 11, 13!"

She quickly recounted the prime numbers.

Her consciousness had recovered considerably, no longer filled with confusion and drowsiness as before, and Muirseth's magic had also recovered quite a bit.

She looked around. It was still the courtyard where she had rested before, but all the Fire Moth guards around her had collapsed on the ground and were still unconscious.

Muirse rose and quickly went to check on the guards, while simultaneously resending the magical communication.

"Amy! Amy!" But Muirse did not receive a response from Emilia; the communication went completely silent, as if it had sunk into the sea.

Muirse checked on the guards; they all seemed to be fast asleep.

Muirsey glanced at the schedule and frowned.

"One minute?"

She looked up at the sky. Eight minutes ago, the Sun Defense System suddenly activated, along with the witch's magic!

What? What happened? Only 8 minutes have passed since I fainted?

But at that moment, Muirsay suddenly felt a massive consciousness descend upon the surroundings.

"Oh? You woke up so quickly?" The voice that had come to mind was full of curiosity.

But Muirsey's eyes turned cold, for this was the reaction of a witch's powers!

The next second, the teleportation screen suddenly lit up around Muirsay, and dozens of super soldiers wearing heavy, full-coverage exoskeleton power armor, wearing phoenix-winged purple-gold crowns, and holding long-handled light blades, looking like heavenly soldiers and generals, appeared around Muirsay.

Muirsey, facing the scorching hot, long-handled plasma blade, closed his eyes in pain.

This is the army of Shenzhou. Their Tiangang full-coverage exoskeleton power armor was once known to Muirsey, who offered some suggestions for improvement.

Things still took the worst possible turn.

China... has been taken over by the witch.

She should have realized that witches aren't like a game where you defeat one only to have the next one appear.

"Very good," the Witch of Knowledge was pleased with Muels's "pragmatism." "Surrender obediently, and I'll spare your life."

"......Oh"

Muirsey chuckled softly.

"Dream on! I'd rather die than surrender!!!"

The next second, she unleashed her magic without hesitation.

With a loud "boom," the shockwave from the detonation of the magic power rushed straight towards the controlled Shenzhou soldiers. However, after the explosion, the Shenzhou soldiers were unharmed, with only a few water droplets on their Tiangang Power Armor.

"You ran pretty fast," Fu Shi chuckled as he saw the small water droplets scattered around him.

Muels didn't actually self-destruct; he simply transformed into water molecules and escaped. This surprised Fu Shi, but it was also within his expectations.

Muerseth had actually mastered his own powers, but although the runes could sense them, they did not know what those powers were. Muerseth kept his powers very hidden.

Fu Shi glanced at Muirsey's mind several times but still couldn't figure out what her powers were.

However, Fu Shi did not rush to hunt down Muirsey. She looked at the purple butterfly fluttering its wings, appearing and disappearing in the distance.

“Hi, little butterfly,” Fu Shi said with a smile.

The figure of Xia Die appeared in front of Fu Shi. Although Xia Die could not see Fu Shi, she could still sense the presence of Fu Shi's consciousness.

She bowed slightly towards the location of the talisman's consciousness.

"Aunt Fu Shi... Sister..."

However, the name that Xia Die was about to say was forced to change by Fu Shi's strong gaze.

"Okay, good girl. Go play now, I should go too."

"Yes......"

Fu Shi smiled. After the Shenzhou soldiers teleported away, Fu Shi's consciousness also left the place.

Xia Die sighed almost imperceptibly; she had a premonition that many, many more people would die in the future.

"I will personally prepare their bodies for burial."

Xia Die whispered, her figure transforming into countless purple butterflies, fluttering her wings and disappearing from the scene.
