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

This alone is enough for Mei to conclude that Padofelis could not be a Herrscher.

Unfortunately, the sample size is insufficient to conduct a more in-depth analysis of imaginary numbers.

However, Mei couldn't be sure that Pado came from a parallel world, as there was no further evidence.

Pado didn't care about Mei's suspicions at all. After entering the meeting room, she kept looking at Vervi. Her gaze made Vervi feel very awkward, as if she was reminiscing, but it also contained expectation and trust.

You're not even dead yet, what's there to reminisce about!

This annoyed the various personalities of Vilvie, but they soon realized that their counterparts in another parallel world had probably died for some reason.

Pado's expectations and trust in Velvi were more like those for the Velvi who had already died in that parallel world.

However, the Velvet of this world doesn't really accept that she lost to her counterpart from another world.

But time machines are something

Vervi and May exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

They are all top scientists in their respective fields, and precisely because of this, they are even more aware that a time machine is something that is completely impossible.

"Pado?" Alicia waved her hand, but found that Pado seemed to be staring blankly at Vervi, without reacting.

"The blueprints for the time machine are in my mind."

Pado suddenly said.

"Oh, the time machine blueprints are with you...in...in..."

Vilvi nodded thoughtfully.

"Pfft! What did you say?!" The next second, Velvet and May exclaimed at the same time, completely stunned.

"But that's not important. Haven't you found Sister Miu Miu and Sister Amy yet?" Pado asked calmly.

She didn't think the time machine was important, because she couldn't possibly build it on her own. What good were the blueprints if she couldn't even understand them?

Simply copying it won't work. Pado only remembers the design drawings, which she can't understand, and there are no instructions.

This is not unimportant at all!

Velvi and May barely managed to suppress the urge to say those words—it was a time machine! Padofelis actually had the blueprints for it!

If a time machine could truly be created, humanity would have a chance to start over no matter how many times it fails when facing the Herrscher!

"Let me ask," Alicia said. She didn't know much about time machines, but she really wanted to see Muirsey and Emilia, whom Pado had mentioned.

The high-ranking members of the Fire Moth, who were eavesdropping on the conversation in the conference room, were in complete chaos. That was a time machine!

But more importantly, it was the three people who created the time machine!

The higher-ups at Moth of Flames immediately contacted Dr. Einstein, urging her to come over as soon as possible. Oh, and there's another one, a guy named Muirsey!

If the blueprints for the time machine are real, then parallel worlds and the like must exist.

Within minutes, several base clerks from the Fire Moths team delivered the investigation materials.

Alicia was puzzled because she found that there seemed to be no girls named Muirsey and Emilia in the information about the town of Vostok-51.

"Pado?"

But Alicia noticed that Paddo's hands were trembling.

Vostok is just an ordinary town, and the orphanage there is small with few children. Last night, the Fire Moth had already sent people to investigate.

According to records, a few years after Alicia left when she was a child, the director of the town's orphanage passed away, and then a fire broke out unexpectedly, killing all the children.

The photos of the children in the orphanage were all burned to ashes in the fire.

Pado's rationality snapped, and all her hope, expectation, and confidence turned to ashes.

"Why is this happening..." Pado murmured to herself.

She simply couldn't believe that Miu Miu and Amy Miu in this world had died when they were very young.

A deathly despair instantly filled Pado's heart. How could this parallel world be like this?!

Alicia later saw in the information that an accident had occurred at the orphanage.

“Pado…”

She was about to comfort Paddo, but Paddo, as if grasping at a lifeline, eagerly grabbed Alicia's hand.

Afterwards, Pado used her magic to draw the picture that was most memorable to her in the air. It was a photo taken by everyone in the academy when they faced the 7th Herrscher.

"Sister Alicia, do you remember Sister Miu Miu and the others?! They lived with you!" Padofelis looked at Alicia eagerly.

She couldn't believe that Sister Miu Miu and Sister Amy were dead.

This can't be! How could they, they just die like that?!

In the conference room, Alicia, Velvet, and May were all drawn to the photograph that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

In the photo, Muirsey and Emilia are both on a high platform in a magnificent academy square, looking up at another Alicia, who is enveloped in many rays of light. In the square, many young and beautiful girls are looking at Alicia with great excitement.

In the photo, Alicia, the center of attention, smiles with unwavering confidence.

"This is another version of me..."

Alicia looked at the photos and was momentarily lost in thought. She must have felt very proud when she was trusted by so many girls back then.

Muirsey and Emilia, they are both really beautiful.

However, when Alicia recalled her childhood memories, she was puzzled as to why she seemed to have no impression of them. After all, she should remember such cute girls.

“I have no recollection of them…” Alicia said, looking at Paddo. “But perhaps this means they are still alive?”

"...Yes! Sister Miu Miu and Sister Amy in this world must still be alive! They must still be somewhere!" A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Pado's eyes.

Vivi and Mei, who were standing nearby, carefully observed the photos that Pado had somehow produced.

The two of them soon had a new question: judging from the photo, the other Alicia was supposed to be going to deal with the Herrscher, but what were those lights? Were they imaginary energy?

Why are all the people in the photos girls? Are all the people who feel closer to imaginary numbers girls?

They all looked so excited and confident, but what happened later?

When the Eighth Herrscher was mentioned earlier, Padre was very angry.

"Pado, what happened next? What did the Eighth Herrscher do?"

Mei couldn't help but ask, "If we knew about the Eighth Herrscher, we might be able to prepare in advance."

Velvi didn't intend to ask directly. She could guess that something terrible must have happened during the Eighth Herrscher era. Velvi, who had switched personalities, was carefully considering her words, but she didn't expect Mei to ask directly.

“…” Pado suddenly fell silent.

An unsettling sense of oppression filled the air.

After a moment, Pado finally spoke.

"The Eighth Herrscher controlled the Divine Land, launched a war, and built a colossal tower in an attempt to directly control all of humanity."

"To save China, Sister Muirsay piloted a prototype time machine into a giant tower, and she, along with Wilvie and Dr. Einstein, perished in the battle."

It's difficult to describe what Pado was talking about using only words.

So Pado directly transmitted her memories of the war, Alicia's memories from that period, and some memories of the survivors who followed Muirseth to Velve and May.

"..."

Since both Velvi and Mei were just ordinary people who had only received very short fragments of memories, they could still see the cruelty and intensity of this brief war between the Witches of Knowledge.

The magical girls and the level of technology in the fragments of their memories far exceeded their expectations.

Also, Alicia in this war

Both Vilvi and Mei vaguely understood why Pado had initially said she came from another world on the verge of destruction.

In this world, Alicia receives all of Patho's memories, including those of Alicia and other magical girls who were once connected to Patho Felice's consciousness.

At this moment, Alicia was already shedding tears.

She absorbed more memories, saw more, and felt more.

"The future...the future won't turn out like that!"

Alicia gripped Padfolis's hand tightly, gritting her teeth as she looked at her intently, while Padfolis quietly looked back at Alicia.

"We can, we absolutely can defeat the Herrscher!!!"

A side story: Back to the past? (9)

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Mebius found Vervie and May and asked them directly.

Velvi and Mehmer remained silent, blinked in unison, and looked at Mebius with innocent expressions.

What are they supposed to say about that?

Is there a possibility that you will become the 10th Herrscher of Domination in the future? We have prepared a few tricks to deal with you.

But Mebius is still perfectly fine and hasn't done anything.

However, neither Velvet nor Mebius dared to gamble on whether Mebius from their world would become a Herrscher.

The Möbius who became the Ruler of Domination in another parallel world is terrifying; millions of people were used as guinea pigs.

Although it wasn't something Mebius from another world did, it was still caused by her.

Looking at the innocent eyes of Vervi and Mena, Möbius felt frustrated, yet he also had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

After learning about the situation of his other self in the other world that Pado mentioned, Mebius knew that things would definitely not be easy for him in the future.

"Fine," Mebius sighed. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't.

“How do you want to change the Fusion Warrior Project?” Mebius then looked at Mei and asked.

The main reason Mebius came to see Mei was because of the fusion warriors.

As the proposer of the Fusion Warriors project, May suddenly decided to make a complete overhaul not long after Padofelis arrived at the Firemoth.

This caught Mebius completely off guard.

“Imaginary energy is far more suitable than Honkai energy, and it doesn’t require fusing Honkai Beast genes,” Mei said simply, and Möbius understood.

With the methods of learning and manipulating imaginary energy taught by Pado, there is indeed no need for fusion warriors.

Although it takes time to find people with the special talent of being close to imaginary energy, at least it doesn't cost lives, and the success rate of the super transformation surgery to become a fusion warrior is just too low.

But Mebius really couldn't refute it. After Padofelis came to the Firemoth, the power she displayed far exceeded people's imagination, and she was much stronger than the Fusion Warriors.

Not only can they fly, but their physical strength also far surpasses that of fusion warriors, and they have no side effects.

"The Fusion Warrior Project..."

"Complete termination"

After hearing the expected answer, Möbius didn't say anything more, but simply turned and left silently.

After Mebius left, Vervière looked at Mebius.

What are you planning to do?

Whether Mebius will become the Herrscher of Domination is entirely unknown. Although Mebius hopes not to, she cannot help but take precautions.

“Turn her into a Valkyrie,” Mei replied.

The Valkyrie Project is the replacement for the Fusion Warrior Project after it was terminated.

But she is actually a magical girl from the world where Paddo lives, but Mei obviously doesn't want to use that title, so she is called Valkyrie instead.

"However, Patto also said she couldn't guarantee that the Valkyrie wouldn't become a Herrscher."

"That's why we need to make sure Möbius is always in our sight."

"Where are Kevin and Sakura?"

Suddenly, Velvi asked with interest, "There are only four Fusion Warriors at this time: Kevin, Sakura, Mebius, and Alicia. But in reality, there are only three. Alicia is not a Fusion Warrior at all."

After speaking privately with Paddo and Alicia, both Velvi and May confirmed this.

"...Sakura will also undergo training to become a Valkyrie, as for Kevin..."

Mei pondered.

"Actually, you can become a Valkyrie just the same way, but perhaps you could call her a Valkyrie?" Velvi chuckled to herself.
