Many magical girls sent out the messages they had received.
Wei Hua: "Oh, right, there's one more thing. High-ranking officials from various countries have proposed electing 13 representatives to jointly lead the Flame Chaser."
Lucifer: "?"
Lylis: "..."
Selena: "This is the only way at this stage."
Lucifer: "But this is Director Muirsey's life's work! She has been the leader of the Firemoth ever since she founded it!"
Selena: "But there's no suitable candidate to take over right now. Don't rush it. After we deal with the 10th Witch, let Mika take over."
Mika: "Huh? Me?"
After seeing Selena's comment, Mika was stunned for a moment. She didn't think she was cut out for it.
Mika: "Oyster, oyster, oyster! Let someone else take over, I can't do it!"
Selena: "But I don't think I can."
Lucifer: +1
Gabriel: +1
Many magical girls don't think they can do this job well, and at this stage, no one has enough prestige and strength to take over as the leader of the Firemoth.
The magical girls that many people are familiar with now are still Muses, Emilia, and Alicia. Other S-class magical girls have only just begun to emerge and do not have the prestige of Alicia and the others defeating several witches.
As for Alicia, the magical girls tacitly avoided mentioning her. She was indeed not cut out for it, and Alicia was still trying to find a way to enter the Underworld Sea, so she didn't have the time.
After much thought, the only one who can barely take over is Mika, the S-rank magical girl who is the second to possess her own powers.
The person who actually held power was Du Shushu, but she was unable to gain the respect of the people.
There's no other reason than the War of the Witches of Knowledge.
Under the persuasion of many magical girls, Mika had a headache and could only turn off the communication interface to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed.
Looking at the seemingly endless files waiting to be processed on the data panel, Wei Hua seemed to see her future once she took over as the leader of the Firemoth.
"I really can't do it."
Wei Hua was lying on the desk, her long, smooth pink hair cascading down her back. The halo above her head swayed. Wei Hua's eyes fell on a photograph on the desk.
That was a photo of Alicia receiving the magic power of all the magical girls during her time as the Seventh Witch. At that time, everyone had a confident and determined smile.
Who could have imagined that things would turn out like that in just a few months?
Even today, many magical girls still have firm smiles, but you can see the indelible sorrow in the depths of their eyes, and they no longer have the confident smiles they once had.
"Sister Miu Miu, Sister Aimi..."
St. Freya Herrscher Academy, a flawless sea of pink flowers
"Little Weihua is being emo again."
Emilia looked at the scene before her with a sense of helplessness.
"There's nothing we can do about it. They're exhausted by the petty tricks of high-ranking officials from various countries, and they're both heartbroken that we both left the scene."
Muirse was also somewhat heavy-hearted, but she could only put it aside quickly. How could she and Emilia not see through the underhanded tactics of the high-ranking officials of various countries? They just wanted countless trivial matters to make the magical girls hate these political affairs, and in the end, they would have no choice but to return the power back.
However, Muels and Emilia have already decided that, in the future, once Alicia completes the ritual and becomes the true Herrscher of Origin, they will restart this world line, returning everything to its origin and ending all sorrow and pain.
At that time, only the Herrscher of Origin familiars who became magical girls would remember what happened before this world line was restarted.
Chapter 477 Beginning
In a small town in a European country, a young man left home, planning what he needed to buy that day. His child had just been born, and his wife was still somewhat weak. After some planning, he realized that he still needed to buy a lot of things for the house.
The propaganda screens on the street are broadcasting news of a devastating infectious disease outbreak in a French city, urging people to pay attention to any unusual symptoms and seek medical attention promptly.
Then, the promotional screen showed the magical girls planning to explore every planet in the entire solar system.
This seems to indicate that humanity can quickly enter the universe and colonize other planets in the solar system.
However, the young man didn't care about those distant things; he only thought about his wife and children at home and the daily necessities of life.
The young man soon arrived at a large supermarket in the town, but to his surprise, the words "Rhine Life Supermarket" on the supermarket entrance were being removed by workers.
But this did not affect people entering and leaving the supermarket, so the young man did not pay attention and stepped into the supermarket. However, he suddenly heard a few complaints from passersby.
"Why have all the prices gone up? They never used to go up in price."
"I don't know, sigh, my expenses have been increasing lately."
"I heard it's because of the Honkai Impact 3rd, and they need to carry out disinfection and inspections, so the price went up."
"But the price has never gone up before."
Who knows?
The young man frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. He quickly entered the supermarket, only to find that almost everything he had planned to buy had increased in price, some by a large amount, others by a small amount.
"It wasn't like this before," the young man muttered. This supermarket, called Rhine Life, had been around for several years and was filled with a wide variety of goods, almost everything imaginable.
The young man later got used to shopping here, but a year ago, war broke out and the supermarket had fewer goods, but the prices still did not increase.
The young man heard that the Rhine Life Sciences industrial zone had been destroyed by the Chinese.
But back then, supermarkets had very few items, yet prices didn't rise.
Why did the price suddenly go up? Nothing happened!
The young man was truly puzzled, and he had to quickly cross a few items off his shopping list to save money. Looking at the bill at checkout, he felt a little worried, but he still quickly returned home with his purchases.
"Honey, have we been using something lately? The electricity bill is so high!"
When the young man returned home, he heard his wife's question.
"How could that be?" The young man asked, puzzled, as he took the electricity bill from his wife.
The young man glanced at it and was certain that he had been using the appliances as often as usual, so why was the amount due on the electricity bill much higher than before?
"Well... I'll go ask the power company."
"Beep... Hello, welcome to XX Power Group"
The young man immediately called the power company to inquire why the electricity price had suddenly increased, but after a short while, he hung up the phone dejectedly.
He didn't understand the power company's rambling, but he did understand one thing: Rhine Life Science Power Company had raised its electricity prices.
and many more.
The young man was suddenly stunned. He remembered that the number he dialed was that of Rhine Life Electric Company, so why did it say that it was XX Power Group?
The young man had a vague recollection of this power group; it seemed to be a company he had heard of when he was a child, a company his father often cursed.
“Don’t worry, darling, everything will be alright,” the young man comforted his wife, then immediately began investigating the situation at Rhine Life Technology.
He had heard about the legendary RheinLife Group since he was a child, but he had heard very little about it recently.
But soon, the young man found the information he wanted, because news about Rhine Life Sciences was all over the internet.
The young man's eyes widened as well.
"Rhine Life Sciences Group has been dismantled?!"
This industrial park spans the globe, employs nearly ten million people, and has a place in every industry. Its total output value accounts for more than 50% of the global total. As the largest and most comprehensive enterprise in history, yet the least like a corporate entity, it has always been a ballast stone for stabilizing the living standards of ordinary people in countries around the world.
But now, RheinLife Science Group has been divided into 10 parts.
Meanwhile, all the resources produced by the Rhine Life industrial zone, located in most European countries, were quickly divided up by major European companies.
Besides Europe, there are also North Africa, South Africa, West Asia, South Asia, Oceania, North America, and South America. The industrial zones that RheinLife established in these seven regions have all been divided up by local countries and companies. Only two RheinLife industrial zones located in Eastern Europe and China still belong to RheinLife and have not been taken over.
After Rhein Life Sciences was divided up, the first thing that happened was the rise in prices of various goods, even if the increase was not significant.
The young man could hardly believe the news he was seeing. How could such an extremely important and massive conglomerate collapse so easily?!
No, the young man quickly realized that Rhine Lab hadn't collapsed, but had been divided up!
The young man suddenly felt a sense of panic.
What will happen in the future?!
St. Freya Space City, Vice Principal's Office
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Mika glared angrily at the representatives from various countries on the screen. "Why are you dismantling Rhine Lab?!"
Mika and many magical girls were busy searching for the 10th witch all over the solar system and were unaware of the situation on Earth.
By the time they came to their senses, Rhine Life Sciences had been divided up at an extremely fast pace.
Wei Hua noticed the high-ranking officials from various countries behind the representatives; some looked grim, while others remained calm.
One of the representatives stepped forward and spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Ms. Saint Garden, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. The dismantling of Rhine Life Sciences is inevitable. We must ensure that the resources manufactured by Rhine Life Sciences can be used to deal with the witch.”
“Rhine Life is too large; any problem could affect the local population. We had no choice but to take over Rhine Life’s branch; someone had to step up and ensure the safety and well-being of our people.”
You should understand.
Wei Hua was so angry that her face turned red. What nonsense was he spouting? She wanted to slap him twice through the screen, and that's exactly what she did.
Two loud slaps echoed in the United Nations meeting hall.
Many people stared blankly at the representative, whose face bore two small handprints.
The US president glared at the representative and decided to sink him at sea when he got back.
“Ms. Saint Garden, we need to discuss this matter more carefully,” the US president said calmly, but his gaze toward Wei Hua was filled with helplessness.
He had no idea about the dismantling of Rhine Life Sciences!
After being captured during the War of the Witch of Knowledge, this US president's control over the country had almost reached its lowest point. Later, he couldn't even issue orders outside the White House, and he was completely reduced to a rubber stamp.
Several other world leaders shared the same expression as the US president.
"I will arrive on Earth tomorrow," Wei Hua said calmly, controlling her emotions.
However, she noticed that the Chinese representative, who was all alone in the UN meeting room, sighed almost imperceptibly.
Chapter 478 Extrasolar Exploration (1) Departure
"Hello, hello, this is Doris! Welcome to the channel of the world's first solar system explorer! Doris is now ready to set off on her official adventure!"
Doris, dressed in a light blue dress, held up her phone and spoke enthusiastically to the camera.
If you ignore the desolate moon behind Doris and the dark, deep space above, she looks like a girl who really enjoys taking videos.
"Doris, stop recording, let's get ready to go!" In the lunar base not far away, a magical girl fiddling with a spaceship poked her head out of the hatch and shouted to Doris. Her voice was transmitted directly to Doris's ears through magic.
These magical girls, like Doris, stood directly on the lunar surface without wearing any protective suits.
"Okay, I got it!" After turning off her phone, Doris skipped and hopped over to the spaceship.
"Hi hi hi, I'm here!"
The magical girls on the spaceship had already gotten used to Doris's appearance.
"We are ready to go."
"Uh-huh"
However, at this moment, Doris took out her phone and started snapping photos of the spaceship, stopping before the other magical girls could no longer bear it.
"Alright, Doris's expedition team, begin preparations!"
Doris raised her hand in a V-sign, lifted one leg, and struck a cute pose for the phone camera.
Then, azure magic surged from Doris's body, enveloping her and the spaceship beside her like a stream of water, quickly forming a semi-transparent oval azure bubble.
"3, 2, 1"
"set off!"
The azure bubble carried Doris and the spaceship into the air, instantly lifting them off the ground and soaring into space.
The magical girls on the spaceship were operating it, but actually, they didn't need to. With Doris guiding the flight, the spaceship didn't even need to be started. These magical girls were mostly just checking the current flight speed.
"This is Doris's team. We are approaching cosmic velocity. We will reach cosmic velocity in one minute."
"Expected to reach cosmic velocity in 5 minutes"
"Will leave the Earth-Moon range in 20 minutes."
