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

Page 282

Muirsey moved silently and rapidly through the pipes, her body transforming into streams of water that swiftly traversed Los Angeles. She kept a close eye on the situation in Los Angeles.

A dead silence.

It wasn't that everyone in Los Angeles died; it was that the entire population of Los Angeles fell into a coma, mostly lying on the streets or in their cars.

However, the sudden drowsy state also caused many drivers to lose control of their vehicles. Apart from a few vehicles equipped with RheinLife's intelligent driving equipment that stopped in time, most of the out-of-control cars crashed into walls or ran over the drowsy people, resulting in many deaths.

Upon seeing this, Muirsey moved much faster; she had to get to Rhine Life Sciences headquarters as quickly as possible!

But as she saw one teleportation screen after another light up, her heart sank.

"Little mouse, don't run away!"

The voice of the Witch of Knowledge came again.

The Chinese soldiers teleported to Los Angeles did not hesitate to wield their plasma blades and slash at the water pipes underground in the streets or inside buildings.

The light blade, formed from ultra-high temperature plasma, sliced ​​into the ground or wall instantly, cutting through water pipes like a hot knife through butter.

Although it had no effect on Muirsay.

The water spray from the severed pipes landed on the Shenzhou soldiers, and the water molecules were immediately manipulated by Muirsay to invade their Tiangang Power Armor, quickly severing the energy lines within the armor.

Several Shenzhou soldiers were forced to stop in place due to the power outage caused by the cutting of the circuits inside their Tiangang Power Armor. Without power, these heavy Tiangang Power Armor suits were not something that Shenzhou soldiers could open by hand, so they were temporarily trapped inside the Tiangang Power Armor suits.

'The Witch of Knowledge...'

As Muirsey moved along, she pondered. Something seemed amiss with the Witch of Consciousness. She hadn't yet seen the Witch of Consciousness's true form, only sensed her consciousness.

Furthermore, the Witch of Knowledge never made a move against her.

Muirse didn't think the Witch of Knowledge would show mercy and let her go.

While it's possible she was just playing a trick on him, before the Witch of Knowledge actually made her move, Muirseth was inclined to believe that the Witch of Knowledge couldn't attack him for some reason.

...The Tower of Babel

Muirsey looked up at the sky; she was almost at the outskirts of Los Angeles, where the headquarters of Rhein Life Sciences was located.

The Witch of Knowledge controlled China through the Tower of Babel, but she did not control the people of the Americas, which are separated from Mu by an ocean; she simply made them all dazed.

The Witch of Knowledge seems powerless to control all of humanity.

"Hmph?! Grab her!!!"

After seeing Muerses's thoughts, Fu Shi deliberately pretended to be angry and shouted.

But the next moment, Fu Shi could no longer sense Muirsey's consciousness.

"?"

Fu Shi was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, she saw that the Rhine Life Sciences headquarters, which was under attack on the outskirts of Los Angeles, was rapidly constructing an enormous and peculiar cylindrical building.

“The teleportation is being interfered with,” Fu Shi smiled. She had received a report that something seemed to be blocking teleportation within Los Angeles, making it impossible to teleport.

The dozens of Celestial Warriors she teleported to Los Angeles, along with a brigade that attacked the Rhine Life Sciences headquarters, were also temporarily trapped in the city.

However, this only applies to troops within the Los Angeles area; the number of Chinese expeditionary forces she sent to the Americas was much greater.

"It seems Miu Miu has quite a few backup plans."

Fu Shi looked at the headquarters of Rhine Life Science.

This place is not only the headquarters of Rhine Life, but also a giant construction plant, and even more so, a comprehensive mega-integrated factory.

However, despite having previously rendered all humans except those from Shenzhou unconscious, Fu Shi was unable to affect the automatic defense system at the Rhine Life Science headquarters.

The Shenzhou Expeditionary Force, which had just been teleported to the United States, had just launched its attack when Fu Shi unexpectedly discovered that Muirsey had awakened. She had also run back to the Rhine Life Science headquarters at an extremely fast speed and taken over the place.

"General Chen, let's withdraw from Los Angeles for now."

Fu Shi calmly contacted the general who commanded the Shenzhou Expeditionary Force.

The Shenzhou Brigade, which was originally attacking the headquarters of Rhine Life Sciences, quickly retreated and left, also taking the opportunity to rescue the Tiangang warriors who were trapped on the spot.

Inside the headquarters of Rhein Life Sciences.

Exhausted, Muirsey watched the Shenzhou army retreat and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then her vision went black and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

After regaining her balance, she looked at the map of the Americas on the main control center screen. The detection equipment set up in various parts of the Americas detected that China was continuously building quantum teleportation hubs in major cities and then began to build tower-shaped buildings similar to the Tower of Babel.

Muirse knew without a doubt that this was no good thing, and more likely, like the Tower of Babel, it was something used to control humans.

"The Witch of Knowledge..."

Before Muirses fell into a coma, she had already heard this witch claim to be herself. Considering her apparent ability to control and influence human consciousness, she could indeed be considered a witch of knowledge.

"The 7th? The 8th? Or the 9th?"

She took a deep breath, quickly restoring her magic as she pondered.

The witch on the sun is undoubtedly real, but the witch of knowledge is also a witch, and Eden, although she has not yet become a witch, is also a witch.

No one expected that the three witches would suddenly appear together.

Muirsey pondered the situation in Shenzhou. The Witch of Knowledge probably appeared together with the Seventh Witch. The Seventh Witch was drawing attention, while the Eighth Witch was secretly taking control of Shenzhou.

She hadn't even noticed it during her previous inspection tour of China.

Muirse only hoped that Alicia could quickly defeat the 7th Witch and arrive on Earth as soon as possible.

However, she remained silent as she stared at the "communication failed" message on the main control screen.

Not only Alicia, but also the magical girls in the St. Freya Space City in space are unable to be contacted.

Fortunately, some magical girls did not go to the space city but stayed on Earth.

Muirsey walked to the main control center of Rhine Life Sciences headquarters, touched an inconspicuous screen with her palm, and a Rhine Life Sciences logo lit up on the screen. Immediately afterwards, a cold, electronically synthesized female voice rang out from the main control center.

"Verification successful! Welcome, Director!"

"Xiaoya, activate the combat control system," Muirsay sighed, but his tone gradually became firm.

This day has finally come.

"Yes"

The moment the cold voice fell, the Rhine Life Sciences headquarters began to operate at full capacity.

Meanwhile, the vast majority of employees and senior executives, including Chairman Christensen, Defense Minister Seria, Dorothy, Himer and Magellan, opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

However, Muirsey saw that their consciousness had not yet awakened; they were merely being taken over and controlled by the main AI, Xiaoya.

Most of Rhine Lab's employees are clones of humans created by the Witch of Reason's technology. Although they have their own consciousness, they cannot and will not resist Muirse's control.

These cloned humans were implanted with a technology called "thought imprint" before they were cloned, and they would unconditionally obey the orders of the supreme commander.

However, Muirsay had never forcibly controlled Christen and the others before; at most, he had only used his water clones to transfer a part of his consciousness into Christen.

Moreover, Muirsey has always been very careful to control the number of cloned humans.

Similar to thought imprints, there are many other technologies in the Witch of Reason's database that control human consciousness and thought.

However, after the consciousness of these cloned humans also fell into a coma, although the main AI, Xiaoya, could still control them, it looked too mechanical, like robots wearing human skin. Muirsays had to control Christen and the others by himself.

However, this means that Muirsay's true form can only temporarily fall into a deep sleep.

However, the first time she simultaneously controlled hundreds of people, Muirsey's consciousness almost split into hundreds of parts. She had to quickly ask Xiaoya to help control them, while her own consciousness was mainly focused on Christen and Seria.

After controlling Christen to come to her own body, Muirseth watched her own body fall into a deep sleep through Christen's perspective.

"The magic is gradually recovering." Muirseth controlled Christensen to touch her body. She was still controlling her physical body to absorb magic from Earth, but compared to recovering in space, the speed of magic recovery on Earth was obviously much slower.

The sensations from Christen's hand, controlled by Muirsey, and the feeling of being touched herself were both very strange to her.

My body is like water, quite soft.

Muirsey thought to herself, but then she subconsciously touched Saria's body next to her. Saria's body was very hard, just like a diamond.

Unfortunately, now is not the time for such leisurely pursuits.

Muirsey quickly suppressed those emotions and swiftly manipulated Christen and Seria to head deeper into the Rhine Life Sciences headquarters.

The headquarters of Rhein Life Sciences also has many ordinary people, mostly scientists from all over the world, including some from China.

However, when the Tower of Babel project was announced, Shenzhou sent many of its scientists back to China, so there are no Shenzhou people at the current RheinLife headquarters.

However, given this situation, Muelseth, who already knew of the existence of the Witch of Knowledge, couldn't help but feel saddened. It seemed that the scientists from Shenzhou who had returned to Shenzhou were all destined to be controlled by the witch.

Muirseth controlled Christensen and Saria to arrive at a tightly closed door.

With a "whoosh," the main AI opened the door.

What Muirsay saw were scientists and guards staggering about.

However, Muirsays bypassed these scientists and continued forward, soon encountering two crucial scientists in charge of the Deus Ex project.

Vervi and Einstein.

"...Xiaoya, prepare to forcibly wake all the scientists; we don't have much time."

Muirsay gave the order.

"Yes"

The master AI faithfully carried out Muirsay's orders.

The scientists who had fallen into a coma were subsequently awakened by various forced methods, but they were all confused about the whole thing, not knowing why they had suddenly fallen into a coma or what had happened.

"Hiss, boss, what's going on?" Velvi asked first, rubbing her head.

"The 7th Witch and the...8th Witch appeared together," Muels said casually, controlling Christen, unaware of which number the Witch of Knowledge was.

However, Christensen's voice remained as cold and hard as ever, and everyone was shocked by the news she had to say.

"The situation is urgent. China has been taken over by the Eighth Witch, and we must prepare for the worst."

"Müller said indifferently, controlling Christensen."

Saria, standing nearby, brought up a holographic screen displaying the situation in major American cities. The Shenzhou Expeditionary Force had already begun constructing defensive bases and fortresses around the consciousness control towers built around these cities.

Once the consciousness control console is fully charged, all of humanity will be under its control.

Everyone remained silent, their minds reeling from the news and unable to utter a word.

Before this, they had all gotten along very well with the scientists from China, but then China suddenly called on a large number of scientists to temporarily return to China, which left everyone somewhat confused.

But upon hearing their boss's words and seeing the displayed images, and recalling the Seventh Witch on the Sun, some astute individuals already understood the meaning behind Christensen's first sentence.

They were all somewhat dazed.

They frequently interact with Chinese scientists and are very familiar with the situation in China. It's almost fair to say that China is the most technologically advanced place in the world, and it also has the largest and strongest population and military.

This superpower was controlled by a witch.

“But the Deus Ex: Mechanism project is not yet complete. The prototype has only been assembled! It cannot be started at all, let alone tested or actually carried out!” one scientist said immediately.

"Yes, I know."

Muirsey, controlling Christensen, replied that she actually understood and knew more about the current deus ex machina project than any of the scientists present.

Everyone was somewhat taken aback by Christen's words.

Dr. Vervière looked at Vervière calmly.

"Based on your previous plan, modify the prototype of the Deus Ex project into a time-stopping device capable of halting a large area."

Vervi was silent for a moment.

"...But what happens after that? What can this toy accomplish?"

This has garnered approval from some scientists.

What Vervi said made sense. Although the time-stopping device sounded very powerful, it was probably unlikely to be enough to deal with the 8th Witch and the Shenzhou that she controlled.

"We only need to deal with China."

Muirsay spoke.

"More precisely, it was the Tower of Babel located on Mount Taixu in Shenzhou. The Eighth Witch used the Tower of Babel to complete her control over Shenzhou."

"If we destroy the Tower of Babel, we might be able to save China."

Einstein noticed a problem as she looked at Christensen, who was being controlled by Muirsey.

"Where is Principal Alicia? Where is Vice Principal Emilia? And Director Muelseth? What about the magical girls in space? How are they doing? We can't defeat the Eighth Witch on our own!"
