Chapter 453 The Second Great Collapse (6)
"Hey"
A silver-haired girl gazed at the Earth outside the window and sighed softly.
The brown-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes behind her looked over curiously.
"Sister Mo, what's wrong?"
However, the silver-haired girl, known as Sister Mo, was lost in her melancholy and did not hear the brown-haired girl's words behind her.
"Sister Mo?"
"...Hmm? Pado, what's wrong?"
Suddenly, she saw a pale white arm swaying in front of her, and the silver-haired girl turned to look at Pado.
"Does Sister Mo have a lot of worries?"
Patona looked at the silver-haired girl with concern in her heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one green.
"Is there anything I can do for you? Hehe, Sister Mo, don't underestimate me, I still have lots of friends!"
Since being discovered to possess magical girl talent, Pado chose to enroll in St. Freya Academy. She has always received a lot of care from Sister Mo. Seeing that Sister Mo was in low spirits just now, Pado wanted to do something for her.
"Well..."
When the silver-haired girl saw Pado's concerned eyes and heard what she said, she suddenly smiled, hiding the melancholy and gloom in her heart.
"Then, Pado, go and study hard. We'll take care of you if the sky falls."
"...Oh, this..."
"Huh? Didn't Pado just say she could do something?"
The silver-haired girl laughed, hands on her hips, and touched Pado's hair. It felt very comfortable, like petting a cat.
"Alright alright"
Padofelis nodded with a bitter face. Since becoming a magical girl, Padofelis found that her days were filled with classes, and even her time to go out to buy supplies was greatly restricted.
However, at that moment, Padofelis suddenly saw several faint lights appear on the Earth outside the window.
"Hmm? Sister Mo, it looks like it's lit up over there?"
"What's lit up?"
The silver-haired girl looked puzzled and turned to look at the place Pado was pointing to.
Just as Pado said, several lights suddenly appeared somewhere on Earth.
The silver-haired girl's expression froze instantly.
"Sister Mo?"
Pado looked at the silver-haired girl with some confusion.
"It's nothing! Everything will be alright...everything will be alright, everything will be alright."
"...Sister Mo"
"Padora, you must study hard and strive to become an outstanding magical girl. I have some things to do and will be back later."
The silver-haired girl tried her best to maintain a smile as she gave Pado some advice, but Pado could see tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. The glistening tears unknowingly slid down, leaving a trail in the air.
Then, the silver-haired girl turned and quickly left her and Pado's dormitory.
Padofelis stared silently at the dormitory entrance, her peripheral vision catching sight of several photos hanging beside the door. One of them was a picture of her and Sister Mo taken before leaving Twilight Street, both of them with happy and excited expressions on their faces.
In another photo, Padrephilis is wearing a pretty little dress and looking down with a hint of shyness. This photo was taken by Sister Mo after Padrephilis officially enrolled in school.
Another large photo is of all the magical girls transferring their magic to Principal Alicia. It was taken by Director Muirse using an automatic camera, and all the magical girls are in this photo.
Paddo can also see herself in this photo, looking insignificant, like a nobody.
Principal Alicia, Director Muirsey, and Vice Principal Emilia looked so radiant in the photo.
Padofelis took out a cat paw gold coin, a small gift that Director Muirsay had given her when she enrolled.
"Director Muirsey, we must succeed!" Padofelis gripped the cat paw gold coin tightly with both hands.
"We've already sensed Director Muirsey's magical influence; she's arrived in Tokyo and is currently being held back by the Shenzhou army."
"But what are those strange lights? There's no magical reaction, but based on the observations, they seem to be some kind of high-powered explosive weapon!"
Inside the St. Freya Space City, the S-rank and A-rank magical girls were analyzing the observed situation.
"The analysis results are in!"
"what is that?"
"A nuclear weapon. Nuclear technology can be used not only as an energy source but also as a weapon. The light that erupted in Tokyo was likely produced by a nuclear fusion weapon."
Selena's gaze was somewhat solemn. Nuclear technology is a technology in the database of the Witch of Reason's Gem. Various countries have studied it, but only China has done so in the most in-depth research. They have not only thoroughly researched nuclear fission technology, but have even fully mastered and miniaturized nuclear fusion technology.
It now appears that China has also completed the deployment of nuclear fusion weapons, and their first use was against the multinational coalition commanded by Director Muirsey.
"Nuclear fusion weapon? How powerful is it? How does it compare to us?"
Someone asked.
"Theoretically speaking, the power of nuclear fusion weapons can be infinite; in a sense, a star can become a super-sized hydrogen bomb. However, in reality, the nuclear fusion weapons that can actually be deployed are only a few megatons in yield."
"For us, nuclear fusion weapons are a threat, but they are just a threat and cannot truly harm us."
Other magical girls who knew about nuclear fusion weapons explained.
Selena added.
"But for ordinary soldiers, that's a different story."
"..."
"The magical girls on Earth don't have enough magic power yet, and there are only about 200 of them. Not many of them can travel with the Master."
"..."
The magical girls present fell silent, their expressions grim. Given the situation their master was facing, they were certain...
"Xiaolin..."
Suddenly, a magical girl sensed something and rushed to the window, looking at the Earth, which was constantly flashing with the light of nuclear fusion weapon explosions.
A magical girl's magical reflexes completely cease, which also means death.
"Hasn't the principal opened it yet?!" Lucifer said angrily.
"..."
"How long has it been?!"
"Fei'er..."
All the magical girls were somewhat helpless and speechless, except for Lucifer's friend who tried to persuade her.
But her friend didn't know what to say.
Because many magical girls, including Lucifer and her friends, are already very dissatisfied with Alicia.
However, Principal Alicia has indeed defeated many witches and is now trying her best to open the Sunbathing Defense Shield, which puts the magical girls in a dilemma, as they don't know what to do.
"Master... what will happen to the Master?" a magical girl asked timidly.
“We can definitely defeat the 8th Witch! Don’t overthink it!” another magical girl immediately retorted.
"The director will definitely create a miracle!"
Earth, Tokyo
Muirse watched in anguish as nuclear explosions erupted in the sky. An A-rank magical girl, in order to intercept a large number of nuclear fusion missiles launched by the Shenzhou army, chose to forcibly pull them together and detonate them.
If her magic power were still sufficient, these nuclear missiles would have no chance of killing her.
But there are no "what ifs" in the world.
Muirse could only repeatedly remind the magical girls in the air to be extremely careful.
The sea, land, and sky surrounding Tokyo are all engaged in battle.
Rhine Lab's fighter jets constantly battled for air superiority with the Shenzhou Air Force, their colorful and golden beams of light flashing frequently in the sky.
One fighter jet after another crashed in the sea near Tokyo or on the Chiba Peninsula.
Now, the armies of various countries under the command of the Moth of Fire have landed on the beaches on the west side of the Chiba Peninsula under the cover of the allied fleet.
The Allied fleet intended to cover the army's offensive, but the Chinese navy, which sailed out from Tokyo Bay, forced the Allied fleet to engage it in battle.
However, the battleships that the Chinese Navy unearthed from the dusty archives of history opened Muirsay's eyes to a whole new world.
"That's the Xuanming-class battlecruiser from Shenzhou, with a displacement of about 5 tons," the Mu Continent naval officer in front of Muleseth was explaining to her on the bridge of the Enterprise.
"It is currently known that the Xuanming battlecruiser is equipped with three 400mm electromagnetic railguns, 120 vertical launch missile cells, and some laser close-in weapon systems."
"The electromagnetic railgun of the Xuanming battlecruiser is very powerful, capable of penetrating the armor of almost all modern warships, with a maximum range of about 800 kilometers. Its laser close-in weapon system can intercept almost all terminal missiles, and its attack range is also very large. A close-in weapon array composed of multiple Xuanming battlecruisers can completely neutralize a small number of missiles."
The Mu Continental naval officer then pointed to the destroyers accompanying the Shenzhou Xuanming-class battlecruiser and some unmanned attack vessels that resembled awning boats.
"These are the Jimeng-class destroyer and the Wupeng unmanned attack vessel."
Before the officer from Mu Continent could finish speaking, the three Xuanming battlecruisers from Shenzhou had already slowly rotated their turrets in Tokyo Bay and opened fire directly on the Moth Chaser army that had landed on the western coast of the Chiba Peninsula.
The azure electromagnetic railgun shells covered dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye, about to land on the beach where the landing troops were stationed.
But the next second, a huge hemispherical shield rose up. This was Rhine Lab's Athena vehicle-mounted shield defense system. The shield it generated covered the landing beach and blocked all the incoming electromagnetic cannon shells. However, the shield was visibly much smaller.
However, the Xuanming-class battlecruiser continued its attacks, which terrified the Moth Chaser soldiers who had landed. They were not afraid of dying, but they were afraid of dying under the sudden bombardment.
"Follow me!" Muirsey's water avatar stood atop an M1 tank, commanding the landing force to launch an attack on the Shenzhou Army that was advancing into the Chiba Peninsula.
In the Moth of Fire coalition fleet, a total of 10 aircraft carriers from various countries have also launched a large number of carrier-based aircraft equipped with anti-ship missiles. After takeoff, they directly launched ship-based missiles at the Shenzhou naval fleet in Tokyo Bay.
Because Muirsays teleported the fleet directly to the waters near Tokyo, both the Shenzhou army and the Moth Chasing Fire Alliance were only 500 kilometers apart.
500 kilometers may seem like a long distance, but for modern navies in combat, it's basically no different from hand-to-hand combat. In addition, the technological gap between the two sides is not significant, so they can directly lock onto the enemy fleet and open fire.
Upon detecting the anti-ship missiles that sent the message, the Xuanming-class battlecruiser and the Jimeng destroyer immediately launched anti-missile missiles. Some of the missiles that broke through the defense network were also intercepted by the laser close-in weapon system of the Xuanming-class battlecruiser.
However, a few anti-ship missiles still landed on the Xuanming-class battlecruiser, but they only caused large waves and many armor fragments, and did not sink the Xuanming-class battlecruiser.
However, a second wave of anti-ship missiles from the coalition carrier-based aircraft immediately followed.
"Deploying Barracuda bombers" Muirsey doesn't intend to wage any offensive battle in Tokyo. She needs to act quickly, so she can only deploy some equally powerful devices, but she doesn't manufacture many of them.
Many of America's military equipment have long been collected and modified by Muirsey. The Barracuda bomber is a stealth strategic bomber that she modified after obtaining the B2 bomber. With the stealth technology in the Witch of Reason's database, the Barracuda bomber has achieved true optical and radar stealth.
Thirteen Barracuda bombers took off one after another from the Enterprise's hangar, then disappeared into the sky, soon spreading out and appearing over Tokyo, which had been fortified by the Shenzhou.
The Barracuda bomber's bomb bay opened, revealing a massive bomb, which then also went into stealth mode before falling toward Tokyo.
All Barracuda bombers immediately accelerated back to base after closing their bomb bays.
However, the Barracuda bombers slightly compromised their stealth after opening their bomb bays, and were immediately detected by the Shenzhou Air Force. The Shenzhou Air Force commander stationed in Tokyo immediately dispatched a portion of the Chongming fighters to intercept these stealthy Barracudas.
"Army soldiers, evacuate Tokyo immediately!" Fu Shi's voice suddenly rang in the ears of the Shenzhou soldiers in Tokyo.
General Cheng, who was directing the battle, paused for a moment, then immediately ordered all the Shenzhou Army soldiers in Tokyo, including himself and his command, to activate emergency teleportation and leave Tokyo.
In a factory in Tokyo, two sisters named Sakura and Rin are mechanically doing their work on the assembly line. The humans here have long been controlled by consciousness consoles and have all been assigned to work in the factory or assist the military. The sisters are no exception.
Suddenly, Sakura's eyes regained their color, and she froze on the spot, but her hands continued to mechanically repeat their work.
"cold?"
"elder sister?"
The two sisters looked at each other in confusion, their memories severely damaged by the time they had been controlled.
However, a beam of light then engulfed everything.
Thirteen golden orbs of light suddenly appeared in Tokyo almost simultaneously. The terrifying energy spread throughout Tokyo like dominoes, instantly destroying everything, from flesh and blood to steel, all disintegrating in the chain reaction.
Nearly half of the more than 600 square kilometers of land in Tokyo's 23 wards was razed to the ground at that moment.
After the Chinese soldiers left the Chiba Peninsula, the armored vehicles, tanks, and self-propelled artillery they left behind did not come to a standstill. Instead, they continued to fight against the landing coalition forces under the control of the Chinese AI.
The Japanese auxiliary forces, recruited and controlled by China, were completely unaware that the Chinese soldiers had already left and continued to attack the Allied forces according to the battle plan.
Muirsey also failed to notice the sudden desertion of the Chinese army soldiers and continued to command the Allied forces in battle.
