Muirsay sighed slightly. Under the Ceasefire Stance, the proton impact missile was ultimately unable to destroy the giant tower, let alone conventional weapons.
But then, Muirsay suddenly saw a dense array of signals appear on the Enterprise's radar, a sight that sent chills down his spine.
"Director! The main air force of Shenzhou is on its way!"
"Director! What should we do?!"
Most of the people on the Enterprise looked at Muirsey with some panic, but after seeing the Rhine Lab clones and Muirsey's calm expression, they gradually calmed down.
"We have one last option."
"Everyone evacuate the Enterprise in batches!"
Muirsay immediately issued the order.
Everyone on the Enterprise was stunned for a moment, but then the Rhine Life employees carried out the plan as scheduled.
"Dr. Velvi, Dr. Ai, prepare the overload deus ex machina prototype. You two should leave as soon as possible."
Muirsey looked at Velvet and Einstein, and before they could answer, she spoke to the Enterprise's pilot.
"Speed at full speed to get closer to the giant tower!"
"clear"
"Chief, let us provide cover!"
The remaining magical girls on the Enterprise saluted Muirseth before leaving the Enterprise.
The main Shenzhou air force, which was pursuing the Enterprise from behind, was gradually approaching it.
A short while later, Muirseth sensed that the magical reactions of one magical girl after another had stopped.
She remained silent, sitting in the command position on the Enterprise's bridge, continuing to watch as the giant tower drew ever closer.
However, she suddenly noticed that Wilvi hadn't left yet.
"Dr. Wilvi, you should leave now," Muirsay urged.
“Why should I leave if none of you are leaving?” Velvi asked rhetorically, glancing at Christensen and some Rhine Life employees who were still there and assisting in piloting the Enterprise.
While other high-ranking members of Rhine Labs were directing ground or air force battles, Saria simply went to the battlefield herself to fight against the humanoid mechs from Shenzhou.
“Someone needs to adjust the Deus Ex prototype,” Ai-in’s voice came from not far away.
“…” Muirsay remained silent.
She said nothing more and waited for the 8th witch to appear.
A moment later, a loud, arrogant laugh suddenly entered the Enterprise.
"Hahaha, what are you trying to do?!" Fu Shi's figure appeared at the foot of the giant tower, looking at the Enterprise soaring in the sky.
"Azure Dragon!"
As Fu Shi shouted, the Fu Long Palace, the core construction site of Shenzhou near the giant tower, suddenly began to deform.
"Director! The palace of Shenzhou has taken flight!"
"...What do you mean by the palace flying up?"
Muirsey was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a giant flying warship, which was not much smaller than the Enterprise, suddenly take off from the ground. It looked like a palace with flying eaves and brackets flying in the sky!
"Boom!!!" A huge tremor suddenly came from the Enterprise.
The Azure Dragon combat ship of Shenzhou opened fire directly on the Enterprise, and its terrifying plasma cannon almost instantly pierced through the Enterprise's left side.
"Activate Time Stop!" Muirsays almost without hesitation urgently converted the energy originally intended for overloading the Deus Ex prototype into Time Stop.
The moment time stood still, everything around them came to a standstill once again.
The Azure Dragon battleship suddenly stopped in the air.
However, after this time stop was activated, the Enterprise didn't have time to overload the Deus Ex prototype. After the time stop ended, the Enterprise would be instantly blasted into pieces by the Azure Dragon battleship.
Muirse forcibly used his magic to mimic the left side of the Enterprise that had been pierced, temporarily maintaining the Enterprise's flight posture.
"Charge it towards the tower! Charge it!" she roared through gritted teeth.
The Enterprise's pilot silently overloaded all of the Enterprise's thrusters and sped towards the tower.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Muirsey looked at Vervie and the others, as well as Christen and the others, again.
However, neither Vervier nor Einstein made any move, simply watching the giant tower draw ever closer.
Christensen and the other Rhine Life employees remained silent.
No one left yet.
The Enterprise then drew closer to the tower.
Muirse sighed and then withdrew all of her magic.
Being so close to the giant tower, she could already sense its current state. The Eighth Witch had merged and linked the consciousness of over a billion people across the entire Divine Continent. If she were to simply destroy the giant tower and kill the Eighth Witch, it would inevitably cause these billions of people to collapse and die in a chain reaction.
For the first time, Muirseth used her power, the Source of Nature, with all her might. She wanted to kill the 8th Witch and save more than a billion people in China!
Goodbye... Alicia
boom!!!
地球外太空
All the S-class magical girls have gathered outside the Sunbathing Defense Shield.
They had previously transferred all their magic to Principal Alicia, and then fought against some controlled magical girls from Shenzhou. For the past few days, their magic has been severely depleted.
Thanks to Doris's selfless sharing of her skills, the S-class magical girls have finally regained a small portion of their magic power.
"Principal Alicia, let us help."
As a first-generation magical girl of the academy, Selena led the S-class magical girls to fly to Alicia in space and sent out her communication.
"..." Alicia's deep blue eyes were completely empty. She only stopped looking at Selena after receiving her communication.
Seeing Principal Alicia's current state, the S-class magical girls all looked distressed and saddened. Selena, who had previously harbored some resentment towards Alicia, was at a loss for words.
Regardless, Alicia was one of the original three magical girls and the teacher who taught the first generation of magical girls.
Selena still remembers her meeting with Principal Alicia and Director Muirsey years ago.
She could never dislike Alicia, but precisely because of this, she felt a sense of disappointment and frustration towards her. Principal Muleseth and Vice Principal Emilia were both imprisoned, but Principal Alicia, despite possessing immense magical power and seven witch gems, was unable to rescue them.
Even though Selena always knew that Principal Alicia was the strongest among the original three magical girls, specializing in combat and not good at things that required more finesse and brainpower.
But clearly, Director Muirsey or Vice Principal Emilia are also very strong and have great minds.
"Headmistress, I'd like to borrow the Power Gloves." Selena flew to Alicia's side and looked at her, gently stroking Alicia's extremely haggard face with a heavy heart.
“Hmm…” Alicia’s gaze remained vacant. She gave a soft “hmm” and then took off the gloves inlaid with seven witch power gems and handed them to Selena.
Selena put on the Power Gem Gloves, and the power of the seven Witch Power Gems was at her disposal, as long as she had enough magic.
The other S-class magical girls silently flew to Selena's side, watching Alicia as they transferred a small portion of the magic they had reabsorbed to Selena.
Not every magical girl can withstand such a massive amount of magical power; only Alicia can.
Selena began to invoke the power of the Wind Witch's Gem, activating the Sunbathing Defense Shield.
However, as soon as she started moving it, Selena discovered a strange phenomenon within the Sunbathing Defense Shield. There were an unusually large number of human consciousnesses, seemingly all in the same place—that giant tower.
The 8th Witch has merged the consciousness of all the people of China?!
Sensing that more and more magical girls on Earth were experiencing interruptions in their magical reactions, Selena was somewhat anxious, but she couldn't afford to be hasty.
However, at this moment, all the magical girls suddenly felt that incredibly familiar magical reaction. It was the magical reaction of Director Muirseth, and it also had the power to react!
But in the next instant, Director Muirsay's magical and power responses completely stopped.
All the magical girls were stunned.
Alicia's lips turned pale, and her eyes were filled with despair for a moment.
“Miao Miao…”
Chapter 456 Funeral
everything is over.
This brief but global war of the Witches of Knowledge has finally come to an end.
For most of humanity, this war, though lasting only a few days, brought damage and a terrible price that was no less than the impact of the previous witch incidents.
But for the magical girls, they were ultimately too late.
Alicia and the magical girls landed on Mount Taixu in Shenzhou.
The once towering, colossal tower is now broken, countless fragments scattered around. The Divine Continent army and the Moth of Fire alliance have ceased fire, and both sides are temporarily on guard against each other.
Alicia and the group of magical girls soared through the sky, flying towards the wreckage of the giant ship that had crashed near Mount Taixu.
When they entered the wrecked bridge of the Enterprise, they saw many corpses. When Alicia saw Muirses' body, she could no longer hold back and rushed over to hug her.
“...Miao Miao”
Alicia's tears had dried, and her voice had become incredibly hoarse.
She can't do anything.
At this moment, the hand of the long-dead Muirsey slowly loosened, and a rhombus-shaped gem fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Ding"
Selena stepped forward and picked up the witch's gem. She then learned that the 8th witch's power was called "Unifying Consciousness," the witch who manipulated consciousness.
Selena raised her hand and silently placed the eighth witch's gem into the witch's power glove.
After a while
Eden pushed Emilia in her wheelchair and teleported her to Mount Taixu, where they met Alicia, who was still holding the body of Muerseth.
The other magical girls were silently cleaning up the battlefield, and they were all heartbroken when they saw Emilia.
When Emilia saw the dead Muelseth, she was momentarily dazed.
“Sister Emilia…” Selena and several other magical girls quickly arrived at Emilia’s side, all of them feeling extremely down and sad.
Miss Xiaodie
Emilia said softly.
A purple butterfly fluttered its wings and came to her side. Then a deep, dark purple door opened, and the butterfly slowly walked out.
"Please conduct the encoffining ceremony for Muirsay."
Xia Die nodded.
"I will, and there are others too."
"Thank you, Miss Xia Die."
Emilia expressed her gratitude.
When Selena and the other magical girls saw Xia Die, they vaguely realized something, but they exchanged glances and ultimately remained silent.
Emilia looked at Selena and the others, and then began to arrange the aftermath.
However, as they talked, Emilia's consciousness began to blur, and Eden quickly supported her.
"Sister Emilia?" Serena and the others, who were listening to Emilia's arrangements, suddenly realized that Emilia had stopped speaking, and then they saw Emilia suddenly faint.
"Sister Emilia!" The magical girls around her immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed over to treat Emilia.
After examining Emilia's condition, the magical girls, who were skilled in healing, all looked quite somber.
"How is Amy?!" Alicia rushed over just now. She had already lost her best friend and sister and didn't want to lose anyone else.
“Sister Amy’s injuries are too severe; she needs to rest for a long time,” the magical girl in charge of treatment replied.
The magical girls looked somewhat somber. While in space, they often sensed that Emilia was always active on the front lines of the battlefield and even personally participated in combat. However, this had always made her a target of the Shenzhou army, causing her to be frequently injured.
Sometimes they even have to continue fighting while their bodies are badly injured.
“…No!” Emilia quickly woke up from her coma. She heard herself told to rest and spoke with difficulty.
"I can't rest yet, and I don't have time to rest!"
Emilia knew all too well that she absolutely could not rest at this time. The casualties caused by the Eighth Witch were actually far less than those caused by the previous witches, but the rifts that the Eighth Witch created among humans were much more serious.
