After the European trip ended, Hibiscus discovered the system-rewarded Magic Advancent Stones had another hidden function: storing and using magic effects of lower levels than her own.
In other words, the Triple Awakening magical girls had just transmitted their abilities into them for her use.
Then it was ti for the Disaster Beasts' origin resonance thod.
Hibiscus took a deep breath, mobilizing origin magic power to overflow and connect with the magic stones. Like a ring formation guarding her sides, rotating in parallel with a decorative feel, adding a mysterious and dignified aura. At this mont, she resonated with the transmitted magic, power multiplying and surging, her pressure faintly rivaling Black Tide's.
"How is this possible? You can even learn our origin usage thods?" The cat demon's gaze was cold. "Your talent is truly once in a century."
"You flatter ."
"But having your body indirectly bear so much magic equals suicide. Without acting, you'll inevitably self-destruct."
The magical girls imdiately stared dumbfounded at the composed Hibiscus.
She didn't deny it—it was true. Everyone hadn't been told beforehand this move had a high cost, only to have it exposed by the superior high-tier Disaster Beast's perception. At this mont, the silver-haired girl's skin was seeping blood, showing the enormous consumption. But the magical girls unanimously swallowed their words of persuasion. Even though everyone knew Senior Dandelion cared most about Senior Hyacinth, she remained silent. Accept reality.
Hibiscus patted Jin Yulu and Jin Ruochu's heads, looking around and saying: "Thank you all for your hard work. If things go badly next, feel free to escape."
She unhesitatingly used all potions, clearing inventory—no retreat existed, ti to fight desperately.
Every mont consud origin, with potions compensating, bringing intense pain. Yet facing such pressure, the girl remained unmoved, expression grave as water, step by step approaching the arrogant Disaster Beast, all magic stones around her shining brilliantly.
Elental magic, Swift Thunder. Elental magic, Healing Rain. Spatial magic, Rainbow Fortress. Mythological magic, Unicorn.
Four magics with powerful support abilities accompanied and continuously took effect, covering purification, defense, recovery, and speed without blind spots.
Quantitative change triggered qualitative change. Now Hibiscus felt resonant magic power gathering in her body, plus potion enhancent making basic attributes surge—average values reaching over 1000 points, most exaggerated being speed at 2500 points, a fivefold increase.
Magical girl origin wasn't simple nurical stacking but beca stronger with each advancent—now in perfect form.
Hibiscus stepped forward to block frontal battlefield pressure. Beside her, Minase Kaori handled restraint, Kelly handled strong control, remaining wounded Jin Yulu and Jin Ruochu seized ti for treatnt, with overall support from Nan Zhiyi. No need to split teams across different battlefields anymore—decisive battle mont arrived. Without determining victory, everyone would die.
Black Tide, which had just acted disdainful, showed 120% vigilance. It could sense the opponent's power rivaled its own, but victory belonged to Disaster Beasts.
Rumble!
Thunder crashed at the horizon accompanied by colorful light ripples—aftershocks from the Catastrophic Disaster Beast and fairy knights' battle.
This horn call seed to urge the Arctic war zone to quickly decide victory. Both sides understood prolonging had no benefits—they must fight quickly. The next mont, black and white figures shot like arrows from bowstrings, colliding together. Power no less than the horizon's brilliance spread outward.
Such fast speed! Black Tide, which prided itself on this aspect, actually felt frustrated—the first move that should have split this person's heart was dodged.
Hibiscus sidestepped to avoid it, then bent her waist and drew back her fist.
Ti Stop 3 seconds.
The next mont, fully charged magic power penetrated through the Disaster Beast's solid muscles into its body, triggering explosions mixed with thunder's speed and unicorn's purification, sweeping through its entire body. Five-dinsional attribute guarantees ant origin attack power could offset enemy damage. Sure enough, the ten-ter cat demon flew backward, blood streaming.
It was stunned, never expecting current magical girls' strength would produce individuals capable of harming itself. Internal organs churned as it spat black blood.
"Ridiculous, you're just piling up various powers."
"You're the one joking." Hibiscus tilted her head, saying coldly: "War ans exhausting every possible thod."
Black Tide tried to mock but imdiately the silver-haired girl disappeared from her original position, another fist pounding into its abdon.
Origin spread in shock waves, overturning tens of thousands of ice floes with extre force, never missing. Ti magic ensured this strike couldn't be dodged. Facing an enemy two levels stronger, Hibiscus dared not be careless. She simply reserved ti magic tricks like ti acceleration and ti slash, using pure ti stop sufficed—one magic's underlying logic was unshakeable, using this to suppress the opponent.
Not good.
Black Tide, suffering consecutive hits, thought grimly. Both sides' speeds were equal—with ti magic, one side held absolute advantage. Its famous penetrating magic power couldn't catch anything. There must be flaws.
It noticed besides the silver-haired girl's surrounding crystals, magic power also connected—those rear personnel still didn't forget support.
Rush up and eliminate several in one go.
Black Tide moved at unprecedented speed, cutting a streak of flowing light fast enough to slice ice fields and part oceans, one strike turning 9 figures to ash. Wrong, different feeling! These magical girls were all monster impersonations. When it realized this, it was too late—movents frozen as massive knowledge flooded its mind.
Ti Acceleration! Flow speed changes reserved until now finally activated, simultaneously a lightning bolt connected 10 girls, adding another layer of amplification, further widening the gap.
Jin Ruochu shouted: "I gave it a month's accumulated bad luck."
Nan Zhiyi again activated Domain Projection, viciously hurling a sun at the huge cat demon—no need to aim for automatic hits.
The next mont Jin Yulu transford into a World Serpent wrapping everyone.
Splash!
Volcanic eruptions from the Arctic Ocean floor shot fla pillars completely enveloping the cat demon's body. This instant it wanted to jump away but a small sun above blocked escape routes—a proper sandwich assault. Skin split and flesh torn, heat lted fur, blood couldn't flow before burning and charring. Pain, boundless pain made Black Tide roar furiously in the pincer attack, struggling movents raising surging pressure.
Volcano and sun equally refused to yield. The ice field reflected red throughout, the Arctic forcibly turned into Flaming Mountain, yet still couldn't stop it from climbing out of the volcanic crater.
Black Tide's head erged to et the fearless-of-lava World Serpent body—one divine dragon tail sweep sent it ho.
The mighty super high-tier Disaster Beast actually felt life force rapidly draining. It had been careless—wasting a quarter of magic power at the start was unwise. Now even burning life force wouldn't work, but survival will still drove Black Tide to move from the volcanic crater.
Splash!
It watched helplessly as Hibiscus leaped into the seabed mixing lava and polar glaciers, pursuing to this extent—how fierce!
The silver-haired girl condensed thread-like light in her hands, coldly pronouncing: "Let us end all this."
At this mont, corpses littered the Siberian coastline. Josh, bathed in blood from battle, severed Brain Devourer's head with a blood-light blade. In its final mont, with only bodily instinct remaining, it still crawled toward the spatial rift with its headless torso, dragging blood traces through ice and snow.
"I must maintain the main passage, otherwise Aurora will be sucked back into the Disaster Beast realm..."
Bang!
Pasha punched the head to bits, completely silencing it. After a long sigh, she saw only herself, Josh, and Philona still standing.
Several other life signs remained but specific conditions unknown.
Joint military Holy Relic squads and Fusion Warrior special forces paid enormous costs to basically clear direct vanguard Disaster Beasts. Remaining ordinary breeds headed inland, but after losing powerful formation leaders, they t retreating joint military main forces. Both sides would settle matters around central Siberia, directly determining how much catastrophic pollution would drift toward the civilized world.
But none counted as main battlefields.
Josh leaned against so Disaster Beast remains, barely lifting her head to gaze into the distance, then looked at reporters hiding in snow with caras, panting: "You're really dedicated..."
No response—motionless. After a while, she could only bid farewell: "Rest in peace."
The Arctic war zone was too harsh. Just ultra-low temperatures and wind-snow could kill ordinary people ten tis over, not to ntion fierce battles with Catastrophic Disaster Beast swarms here. Only monsters like Holy Relics and magical girls remained unhard. Especially the latter—the Salvation Church only fought hard battles; they counted as the main battlefield.
Gazing into the distance, volcanic rock eruptions actually washed half-suspended suns in the air, boiling seawater, temperature rising drastically—frozen stiff one mont, sweating profusely the next.
A golden dragon coiled within, protecting companions while blocking Disaster Beasts trying to rush out. Its physical strength was unthinkable, remaining unmoved in such environnts. No, actually it was severely wounded, forcing itself to hold on through willpower alone.
"Roar—"
Black Tide's roar finally showed a trace of slack and fatigue.
This imperceptible flaw made a figure leap from World Serpent's embrace into the sea—hidden dragon entering water, unstoppable. Instantly, magic power more startling than ever erupted and gushed forth. Both sides exploded into fierce combat on the seabed coral reef, neither yielding, gambling an era's fate.
Josh strained her eyes but gained nothing—all boiling seawater, steam hissing from the surface forming clouds then becoming wind and snow.
Holy Relics wanted to help, planning to swarm together, but at this ti Disaster Beasts still passed through spatial rifts with strong auras—the catastrophic colony was sending reinforcents.
New high-tier Disaster Beast!
It was a pig-like massive creature, using its body to forcibly hold open the passage trying to squeeze through.
Philona imdiately warned: "Strong spore reaction—this guy's using magic power to replace Brain Devourer maintaining the passage, could pass through anyti."
They almost despaired, never imagining that just after eliminating one high-tier Disaster Beast, another erged. Or rather, it had existed from beginning to end, because the passage's other side always needed commanders guarding. But when dangerous aura made people shiver all over, it confird bad guesses. Simply endless—did these Disaster Beasts number more than imagined?
Rumble! Fortunately joint military long-range firepower reappeared, precisely striking passages to impede progress and buy montary peace.
Actually another high-tier Disaster Beast was maintaining spatial rifts.
Would that pig-head co through first or that big cat die first? Battlefield fate hung by a thread.
Not only the Arctic war zone—worldwide attention had to focus here. They worried about waking tomorrow to Disaster Beasts at their doors. This battle must be won.
Even ordinary people understood the catastrophic battle's significance. Disaster Beasts had changed, joint forces also changed—they t new allies, the Salvation Church.
Just as slight stalemate appeared, World Serpent instead led magical girls toward the passage to restrain the new high-tier Disaster Beast. They coordinated like they'd long anticipated, without the slightest worry, dutifully believing in Hyacinth.
Pasha pointed toward the passage: "I'll lend a hand."
"Count in."
Josh watched the nun and Philona's departing figures, sighing deeply. She really had no strength left, or rather rcenaries always kept a line? The answer remained unknown, yet she felt this advance and stay held symbolic aning. Regardless, the land beneath her feet would divide two eras.
Two top-tier forces converged at the main passage. World Serpent welcod all cors, letting new teammates mount her back while electric arcs connected everyone.
The reason for standing aside during Hibiscus's battle was knowing this guy would co.
This temporarily ford squad would block the 3rd high-tier Disaster Beast. Everything else depended on Hyacinth's performance.
Undersea battle remained intense. Hibiscus, bearing seawater pressure, and Black Tide still fought at high intensity. Both sides crossed paths only between lightning and thunder. When volcanic eruptions and small suns briefly paused, they leaped from water together.
Boom!
Just their actions breaking through glaciers and surfacing were earth-shaking. Above floating ice, both stood silently as ice and snow struck their bodies, washing blood away.
From neck to waist, Hibiscus was covered in claw marks and bite marks, skin split revealing white bone, yet remained unmoved without even spending magic power on regeneration. She judged energy consumption to compensate losses wasn't cost-effective.
Black Tide's condition was worse. Its most-used front paws had only half flesh pads remaining, tail severed at the root affecting balance. The smooth cut obviously bore ti slash's signature.
"I will beco a catastrophe—you cannot stop ."
It glanced at distant brilliant light, pupils dimming sowhat, life force continuously draining.
"Wrong." Hibiscus raised her hand, saying faintly: "I will beco your catastrophe—"
Ti Stop!
Both sides had accumulated sufficient wounds on the seabed, already reaching the degree where one move could eliminate each other. Actually, regarding consumption and pressure endurance, she held slight advantage. Coordinating 4 major support magics while managing her own abilities called for divided attention—without solid basic stats, she'd have collapsed long ago. The mont had co. Regardless, the main passage must close. Must kill Black Tide or all efforts would be wasted.
Hibiscus mobilized all magic power without the slightest reservation, beginning to charge. Every second was so difficult to endure, her body constantly protesting, until the limit—the 20th second.
Not that she couldn't extend further—she was about to shatter.
As bewildernt disappeared, Black Tide shot like an arrow from a bow, roaring to trigger power. Sure enough, the silver-haired girl also charged forward without hesitation. Both erupted in a high-altitude mushroom cloud.
The battlefield fell silent, everything soundless, all disturbances yielding to the sovereign. Everyone stared unblinkingly at the smoky area. The huge Disaster Beast head slowly erged—many felt their hearts chill and nearly fainted. But the next mont it rolled out—just a severed head.
Clap!
A mid-heel round-toe shoe firmly stepped on Black Tide's skull—clearly the blood-bathed silver-haired girl in military uniform.
The spatial rift main passage indeed rapidly closed, producing boundless suction. Wind and clouds gradually faded, sky light suddenly broke through. Results were generated, witnessed by the entire world without doubt:
Victor: Hyacinth.
Hibiscus maintained the pose of stepping on Black Tide's head, motionless. On one hand, system prompts gave rewards:
[Congratulations, completed suggestion "Prevent Catastrophe Escalation" Reward: 150 Free Attribute Points, dium Regalia Advancent Stone, Guaranteed Golden-Level Full Relic Compatibility Draw. Already drawn, distribution complete]
On the other hand, she truly dared not move. Surrounding dimd magic stones completely shattered to powder—losing all magic power support, she might faint anyti.
Not yet finished. Must watch the final mont closely—wouldn't close eyes without witnessing safety.
She carefully picked up the magic crystal—an unexpected joy. Fortunately preserved intact, now Hermit Island's formation system could advance further.
Glancing at the main passage, she unexpectedly saw that high-tier Disaster Beast actively retreat. Obviously the opponent didn't plan to fight hard—unable to maintain spatial rifts alone, it simply withdrew. Besides, losing stable anchor points, even catastrophes had to leave.
On the other side.
World Serpent magic maintained for so long finally released. Jin Yulu jumped to shore swaying unsteadily, fortunately nearby Jin Ruochu barely caught her. Both as damage-taking vanguards were exhausted with poor conditions.
As soone with large-scale and rapid movent skills, Nan Zhiyi still retained final traces of magic power. She ordered Minase Kaori to support Hibiscus back to the team.
Others in relatively good condition—Anri Sakagami, Kelly, Stephanie, Joan—still had fighting capability.
They assembled together at the predetermined Hermit Island reception point.
Holy Relic squads also maintained distance.
Logically, the original Edo battle gave the Salvation Church and rcenary company a good start—everyone could completely profit together harmoniously. However, Eagle Company acted too aggressively, once tearing faces apart and ruining great opportunities. Now magical girls were ascendant with incomparable military achievents, yet couldn't compensate for losses, adding awkwardness—four eyes eting with nothing to say.
Both sides had just fought a life-or-death battle, physically and ntally exhausted, yet had to organize language preparing diplomatic work. Simply ridiculous, too tiring.
Splash!
Magic power storms swept across the horizon, rolling forward as if to re-shroud the sun. Polar night reappeared, Aurora descended. Spatial rift reverse suction forced Catastrophic Disaster Beasts to begin withdrawal, but also ant fairy knights could no longer suppress them, because fairy realm's space leading here similarly erupted with gravitational pull.
Julius shouted sternly: "Favored one, please be extrely careful."
Legendary fairies stared intently at Magical Girl Hyacinth, appearing quite friendly. This performance alone drew everyone's attention—what high-level connections!
Hibiscus nodded: "Thank you very much. Leave the rest to us. I offer sincere greetings on behalf of the Church."
"Take care, farewell."
Semi-transparent winged girls flickered and disappeared.
Fairy knights undertook the most arduous task this ti, leading Catastrophic Disaster Beasts away from battlefield center. Otherwise consequences would be unpredictable—even combat shock waves alone could destroy several cities. Could say they forcibly reversed both sides' strength comparison, laying victory foundations for the Salvation Church.
Joint forces witnessing exaggerated energy levels also understood Aurora was a level stronger than Blood Sea Tsunami. Without two aid forces intervening, the battlefield would likely face disaster.
What made high command feel worse was such terrifying fairies had long connected with magical girls.
Especially Salvation Church's Hyacinth should confirm her leadership position. Regardless of whether she fabricated larger-scale organizations, her spiritual leader status was obvious without dispute.
Holy Relic survivors gradually recovered spirit under Philona's treatnt. Actually most held vigilant attitudes toward magical girls—so even showed unfriendly expressions. Anyway, so strategic relics remained unused, giving many confidence.
"You wish—"
Aurora's roaring will swept in all directions, actually forcibly resisting spatial suction, clinging to the passage mouth struggling continuously, might still undiminished.
After successively encountering nuclear strikes, firepower sieges, fairy suppression, and spatial tearing, it still retained combat capability. No wonder fairies solemnly warned—experienced ones knew how troubleso catastrophes were.
"Enough, even I alone am enough to devour you all."
The brilliant bird stole the sky's color, saturating firmant with magnificent magic power. Pressure made million-year glaciers crack inch by inch. At this mont heaven and earth had no light—only I am supre.
Aurora's massive body was half-sucked into deep spatial rifts but the other half still entangled, power scattering everywhere.
The world held its breath.
Hope just risen was about to be taken away. Desperate people even resented why hope was given. Situations were extrely critical. Should everything be left to spatial rifts now? What if it didn't obediently enter? Should nuclear bombs be deployed? That would definitely affect the Salvation Church, aning simultaneously offending magical girls and fairies. Caught between advance and retreat, catastrophe pressed step by step.
However, when on-site gazes and broadcast caras turned toward this battle's soul figure, they were amazed. Hyacinth appeared composed, observing calmly.
Not just her—Church mbers similarly remained steady as if waiting...
Clang!
Earth-shaking loud noise accompanied Hermit Island phantom's reappearance—second blooming, another solid slap to Aurora's forehead. Damage wasn't great but humiliation extre, scenes quite comical.
Just as the Catastrophic Disaster Beast angrily tried to push the island back, all magical girls on it launched attacks, rumbling sounds preventing concentration.
Below the island phantom flew a figure in academic robe Regalia—Beatrice arriving as planned.
"Senior Hyacinth, catch it."
She threw a long spear from her hands. Almost the mont it appeared publicly, everyone felt Knowledge Poison's impact. On-site experienced Holy Relics were shocked while closing senses. People watching news felt dizzy and nauseous—the world's top relic's pollution comparable to disaster.
Hibiscus steadily caught the blood-red long spear. Surrounding magical girls all closed eyes and turned away—even magic power beings could hardly resist, at least now had to honestly avoid it.
Only Beatrice with Encyclopedia and the full relic-compatible one remained unaffected.
"Beautifully done—you found the final chess piece."
Hibiscus gripped the long spear like an athlete tensing her body. Instantly, extrely evil magic power locked onto Aurora. Blood color filled hundreds of miles, so thick it couldn't dissolve. They ford a ray of light roaring and triggering—at this mont even Catastrophic Disaster Beasts felt fear.
Crack!
She viciously hurled the legendary top relic, penetrating the target's body without suspense, spinning once before stabbing into ice, brilliant light blazing. Explosive sounds echoed through nine heavens, dispelling ice and snow—even lightless darkness trembled.
Aurora, continuously wounded, finally couldn't hold on. Crying out in pain without dignity, it rolled into spatial rifts. Pressure dissipated, all sounds ceased.
Hibiscus sighed deeply, shrugged, then shaded her eyes with her hand gazing into distance. No spatial fluctuations remained—only dawn tearing through polar night. This ti finally welcod daybreak.
