As the Villain, I Have a Persuasion System Chapter 114 : Publicly Recognized Prophet Hyacinth

The Catastrophic Disaster Beast lost its voice, air finally not so tense. Only then did joint forces just climb up to look around.

Wind and snow gentle, silver-haired figure bathed in brilliant light on ice fields.

Without her saying anything, victory's facts declared history's coronation ceremony. Regardless of how many feared, were wary, or submitted, worldwide honors belonged to one person alone.

Hibiscus was completely out of strength. She gave Beatrice a look, having her wrap the Holy Spear in special cloth and store it in a box. She solemnly held it with both hands, presenting it to the highest military authority on site—Josh, also a familiar face.

"Don't bla her. Rest assured, General Walpole is fine—we just borrowed briefly."

"Thank you."

Josh tactfully skipped the topic, not ntioning non-designated personnel touching and using classified relics. Superficially polite, but Hyacinth's words revealed a fact: elite forces heavily guarding General Walpole were all played. They were probably self-reproaching, but she wouldn't criticize—facing an organization consistently performing miracles, there was indeed no solution.

Not just her—including many Holy Relics, soldiers, and war correspondents all had many questions to ask, but first gave space to the other party.

Nan Zhiyi ran over, letting Hibiscus's arm rest on her shoulder for support, unconcealed wariness in her eyes as she coldly glanced back and slowly retreated several steps.

She made tactical hand gestures sending signals.

The other two most severely wounded—Jin Ruochu and Jin Yulu—were respectively supported and treated by Stephanie and Joan. Anri Sakagami and Minase Kaori replaced vanguards, remaining Kelly and Yeta served as rear guards. If certain hostile-attitude guys made further moves, they'd act imdiately.

Simultaneously, Hermit Island in the air lowered black mist-wrapped figures for reception.

Besides all combat group mbers, only Beatrice reached Triple Awakening, unable to use Regalia causing Knowledge Poison that couldn't connect to original appearance. So everyone borrowed Senior Hyacinth's past thods—though at least Second Awakening reception groups disrupting situations to create gaps in ergencies posed no problems.

"Wait."

Hibiscus spoke to stop everyone. The withdrawing team paused. Slightly recovered, she managed to stand straighter, cleared her throat, and spoke:

"Next, free magic power will surge short-term. All relic-compatible individuals take note—Knowledge Poison will also intensify."

"Thank you very much for the reminder." Josh nodded.

"Additionally, you might wonder why I used Ti Leap yet developnts don't differ much from the Oracle Book? Because I specifically responded to its power to ensure smooth combat. Using that relic requires more caution—future difficulty will be higher, needing more materials prepared."

"Understood."

Now the world's recognized prophet spoke golden rules—no one dared treat lightly. After all, so far developnts were broadly revealed by her half a year ago at the Edo battle.

Magical Girl Hyacinth's ti abilities easily suggested foresight, hard not to believe. Moreover, large numbers of Church supporter social groups further promoted fortune-teller, prophet reborn, divine revelation rhetoric, adding mysterious halos—better safe than sorry. As this battle's greatest contributor, earnestly advising you before the whole world deserved attention. In many eyes, the Church Leader was comparable to the Prophecy Book.

Josh, having t and cooperated before, definitely trusted her, nodding seriously.

She supplented: "Unavoidably, your organization had so misunderstandings with us. We'll further punish related parties—hope to look forward."

"...You kept certain guys without trial just to play this card today—really roundabout."

"Hope to clarify so misunderstandings."

Experienced Josh directly skipped topics without taking bait, looking directly into Hibiscus's eyes with pleading—consider owing you a favor.

"What conflicts? I'd say General Josh also contributed greatly this ti." Hibiscus smiled lightly, speaking directly before nurous caras: "Without your consistently calm command under pressure, we might have faced disaster. Hope for future cooperation opportunities."

Should let a rational military figure rise to high position—Major General wasn't enough, promote further.

Josh imdiately understood, showing grateful expression. Credit could easily lead to fighting till bloody heads, even another battle. Having Hyacinth speak could save much trouble.

"Two others."

Hibiscus looked beside her, saying sincerely: "Special thanks to Ms. Pasha and Ms. Philona—thanks to you both stopping new high-tier Disaster Beasts at the crucial mont, otherwise consequences unpredictable. The Church will rember this valuable exchange."

"...Actually I'm not interested in these things, but anyway congratulations, victory forever!" Nurse cheerfully celebrated.

The nun answered as always cleanly: "Looking forward to future cooperation."

The three needed no extra communication—they'd had contact since the map package incident. For Hibiscus, that counted as the strongest causal magic choice. For them, everything was mysterious—now suddenly understanding, making it seem more profound. Sure enough, the Salvation Church was full of capable people with divine calculations.

"Stop chatting." Jin Ruochu, sowhat recovered, excitedly ran over hugging Hibiscus and bouncing: "I want to eat your braised pork for the celebration feast."

"Alright, alright, you all be gentle."

At this mont she felt Nan Zhiyi's support tightening—practically choking her.

"Stop fooling around. This place isn't suitable for staying. Since business is finished, let's go quickly."

Jin Yulu simply transford to sweep up the three, then other magical girls also boarded the world's coolest transportation. Subsequently Yeta activated Swift Thunder blessing—the group instantly ascended and disappeared into island phantoms. Simultaneously, even that massive shadow gradually faded color, spatial coordinates becoming vague. This military fortress hid again, just like arriving without warning—also a muscle-flexing behavior.

Josh, who watched magical girls leave for a long ti, sighed, thinking newly revived and not yet recovered Quincy would probably face judgnt and be shelved awhile.

To show attitude, other accomplices like researchers, rcenaries, and sheltering officials also needed reprimanding.

Thinking about it was infuriating.

Josh's attitude always inclined toward cautious cooperation without advocating violence—result was certain idiots making this ss. Leader Hyacinth aside, second-in-command Dandelion was obviously hostile, the other two high-level leaders preferred keeping distance, remaining personnel mostly from laboratories full of hostility—relationships were very difficult.

She reconsidered that plan in her mind: openly recruit magical girls to establish a managent bureau. Even officials could only contribute effort, people, and money without wanting authority.

Think the cost is too high? That was right—still paying for mistakes.

Josh was certain once the plan was proposed, decision-makers would give whatever resources needed, because establishing a slightly favorable neutral party's value couldn't be asured with money.

Of course, the so-called Magical Girl Managent Bureau plan currently wasn't even a rough draft. Even if Josh had so ideas, she'd have to wait for various resources in place. Understanding those people's efficiency, she held no hope. Besides, the imdiate priority was battlefield cleanup.

The Salvation Church's leaving was indeed dashing, but their destruction—sotis lava, sotis rocks, sotis punching through glaciers—had to be properly handled.

They were probably young, especially Hyacinth looking like giving award acceptance speeches, quite cute. Young teams could always create infinite possibilities.

Josh turned around, seeing dust rising on the horizon.

Joint military main forces had already completely eliminated ordinary breeds in Catastrophic Disaster Beast swarms at the rear. For elite troops gathering worldwide elites, this level was easy, though losses were equally great. Now the highest-ranking officer capable of command duties was just her alone. Fate was truly wonderful—did this count as reward for desperately fighting at front lines?

Josh patted snowflakes on her uniform, gazing at gradually closing spatial passages with only a crack remaining, smiling faintly.

"When fortune cos, heaven and earth lend their strength." She took a deep breath, declaring loudly: "We won—this victory belongs to human civilization."

"Victory forever!!!"

Cheers erupted on ice fields, wave after wave reaching sky-high, announcing to the world.

Locally speaking, scattered Disaster Beasts around Arctic war zones still needed clearing, with small portions heading inland—indeed not complete. Overall speaking, strikes against dium-scale Disaster Beast attacks elsewhere hadn't ended, not to ntion pre-existing losses—long way to go. But regardless, joint forces won the most crucial battle. Catastrophic events without Catastrophic Disaster Beasts themselves declared first threats eliminated.

Joint forces gathering human civilization's essence could completely handle Disaster Beast swarms excluding Aurora—just needed super-spec existences eliminated. At this mont, it counted as victory's dawn.

Joint forces paying enormous sacrifices finally exchanged for victory—how could they not be excited? Many wept with joy, embracing and cheering, even firing guns in celebration. The vast ice field echoed with victory cheers.

Their enthusiasm could infect the whole world.

People watching Arctic battlefields also sighed in relief, including Jin Changfeng far away in Ningfeng Harbor.

Watching TV alone, he kept replaying Salvation Church withdrawal segnts, confirming the pink-haired girl's final shot before collapsing on the sofa like a great relief, looking up and muttering: "Finally over—safe and sound is good."

But observing his precious daughter's first impulse to pounce on that Hyacinth made him uncomfortable... Forget it, let her be.

After calming down, Jin Changfeng picked up the phone on the table, dialing a number across the Pacific.

He inquired about his son's situation and got good news: rgers and acquisitions were very successful.

The group's large-scale expansion was based on Jin Ruochu's early warning then. Under foresighted vision, Changfeng Group not only beca one of few unaffected enterprises but rose with the tide. Hearing this, Jin Changfeng nodded, very satisfied—perhaps could help more in future.

anwhile.

Disaster Beasts everywhere showed varying degrees of decline.

News broadcasts imdiately reported: "According to estimates, after losing Catastrophic Disaster Beast magic power connection, dium and high-scale colony activity weakened, showing signs of fatigue. Please persist a bit more—joint forces will soon eliminate them. Thanks to Arctic war zone bravery, thanks to Salvation Church support. We survived today, we'll welco a beautiful tomorrow."

"Breaking News: International Disaster Beast Counterasure Organization Chief General Burr comnds the following personnel..."

Just as nas were being read, Josh turned off the radio, looking helpless—both proud and exhausted.

"Not listening to Mr. Burr's encouragent?" Pasha laughed and asked.

"You know that guy's famous for exploiting subordinates and being ambitious, best at attacking political enemies. I don't get along with him. If promoted and having to frequently interact with Burr, I can't stand it."

"With your current military achievents, you can completely give no one good faces. But that might lead to ostracism—welco to join the rcenary Alliance then."

Josh glared at Pasha irritably. The latter wasn't disappointed by her olive branch's failure, instead laughing heartily.

"Rare to see you in such good mood."

"I confird one thing: future magic power will be relatively enriched. That's a good era—many of my experints can advance, allowing deeper relic fusion."

"Good era? The worst era just began."

Josh clearly knew what rcenary leaders were contemplating—nothing more than removing large numbers of Holy Relic restrictions to completely control power, possibly becoming chaotic world heroes. Unfortunately, Pasha and Philona, who had relatively good relationships with her, actually didn't like making decisions and rarely commanded from behind. So she didn't know rcenary Alliance Headquarters' true thoughts. Those guys didn't bring out certain things until the end—patient enough, annoying.

Just as they spoke, they saw Philona supporting patient-gowned General Walpole approaching. The latter imdiately apologized upon eting.

"Sorry, I didn't help at all and lost the relic—simply deserving death."

"It's over, don't mind." While comforting, Josh returned the Knowledge Poison-isolating case to its owner, warning: "Be careful. According to Hyacinth's words, future relics will be stronger and harder to control."

"I indeed had such premonitions."

Nearby Gallup interjected: "General Walpole, in your opinion, what kind of person could use the Holy Spear without burden?"

He naturally cared about the opponent who'd once killed him—now seeing their increasingly outrageous performance made him uneasy. The previous was too reckless, not knowing heaven's height or earth's depth.

As soon as he spoke, everyone couldn't help recalling the Holy Spear piercing the sky just now.

There were many ons—no wonder the Church split into two groups from the start, each taking partial responsibility. That magical girl surrounded by various books was equally extraordinary, contacting the highest-level relic without harm. If chanisms existed to counter Knowledge Poison, they must be included in key observations.

Code na Lyra refreshed recognition every appearance, actually mobilizing the Holy Spear's power to wound Catastrophic Disaster Beasts. Even thousand-year-rare relics liberated magic power responding to her.

"Natural genius."

Walpole supplented: "No historical reference cases exist—I can only consider Hyacinth's strength unthinkably powerful."

"Then no need for relics—just directly fight Aurora."

"Wrong. The higher-level relics pay more attention to user compatibility, aning the Holy Spear recognized her ntal power sufficient to compare with catastrophes." Walpole sighed: "Even I couldn't liberate to that level..."

Buzz!

The spatial rift, clearly closed to minimum, suddenly opened deep starry sky scenes, gushing countless magic power. Worldwide passages showed resonance phenona.

They looked at each other, unanimously thinking: Prophet Hyacinth's words were about to be fulfilled.

...

Hermit Island beach.

Even in alternate space regions, they could witness dark cracks in Arctic wind and snow gushing countless magic power. In magic-sensitive magical girls' eyes, clearly thousands of colors decorated the monotonous white snow world, wanting to make the entire world more exciting, magnificent, grand, even composing this era's new epic.

After consecutive battles, Hibiscus was consud to the point of immobility, only able to lie on the beach appreciating such wonders.

"Dr. Mu, I'm actually quite scared now."

Speaking thus, Jin Ruochu pounced over to hug her, not just embracing but legs clamping around her waist like a koala, rolling around on the beach like elephant bathing. Such enthusiastic writhing made Hibiscus's expression darken—the pink-haired protagonist exposed neurotic tendencies once releasing emotions. Was this anthropomorphic?

But quite comfortable.

Seedling Stage magical girls' physical strength evolution was more robust—smooth tender skin, slightly cool skin, warm breath, heartstring-plucking vitality. This rhythm bid farewell to winter, looking forward to spring colors.

Hibiscus felt post-disaster beauty, finally sighing in relief—finally pulled through.

Since contacting the system, she'd known about Catastrophic Disaster Beasts. In the world, only you knew disaster's loneliness?

Responsibility and powerlessness doubly tortured.

Perhaps precisely thanks to crisis ca the world-famous Magical Girl Hyacinth, plus later Salvation Church. Death-driven force made Hibiscus run wildly—half a year's marathon running a lifeti's wandering, nearly failing at the last mont. Fortunately everything was fine, thanks to Jin Ruochu, Jin Yulu, Nan Zhiyi, and nurous magical girls desperately laying perfect victory foundations.

Hibiscus instead felt unreality—sky wonders pulled her back to reality. Before having power to drive large-scale island movent, she had to watch scenery in the Arctic.

Though magical girls maintained cheerful atmosphere.

Support group mbers retained energy, simply setting up grills, charcoal, ingredients on site to reward combat groups. Among combat groups, Jin Yulu and Nan Zhiyi, who recovered best, were counting supplies. Remaining pink-haired protagonist used fear as excuse for forced intimacy.

"Seeing spatial rifts makes insecure—only Dr. Mu can comfort ."

"...Though you're probably making excuses, I'll explain to everyone—don't worry, just free magic power from outside returning to Planet Gaia."

"The supernatural revival you ntioned?" Nan Zhiyi asked while embracing Jin Ruochu under her arms like lifting a cat.

"Correct."

"Looks like we'll be busy later."

No need explaining excess concepts—Salvation Church mbers all knew Senior Hyacinth early prophesied current situations: magic power enrichnt, then magic power talent holders, relic-compatible individuals, awakening magical girls, and magic power infected bodies would erge, severely impacting originally stable order.

Previously knowing prophecies might have frightened them, but the Church family's belonging was incomparable—no need to worry. Soldiers co, generals block; water cos, earth dams.

The Arctic catastrophic battle shaped the Church's soul, sweeping away Eagle Company's psychological shadows to raise their heads, becoming more open and honest afterward.

Hibiscus said: "You all stop being busy—co watch the scenery."

She slightly recovered so strength, pulling the summary-making workaholic plus invited, delighted Nan Zhiyi. Four people lay on the beach gazing at the sky—at this mont sunlight and deep rifts coexisted with dreamlike gorgeous colors.

This was the era's opening ceremony.

Hibiscus pointed remotely at rift edges: "Those white strears are actually Disaster Beast traces, also representing certain magic power flowing from the Disaster Beast realm. Two worlds' multiple exchanges finally triggered large-scale magic power gathering. Soon worldwide will witness sky scars. Probably not encountered once per era—more romantic than Halley's Cot, carrying thousand and ten-thousand year weight, unforgettable."

"In one lifeti, one might witness solar and lunar eclipses, even planetary alignnts, but era changes at most witnessed once. Is this luck or misfortune?"

Nan Zhiyi suddenly gripped Hibiscus's right hand tightly, fingers interlocking. Both seed to feel each other's heartbeats through fingertips.

"Surviving trials and witnessing this mont with you counts as my greatest fortune."

"We'll be magical girls together for life."

Jin Ruochu lay on the beach, raising her arms pointing at the sky like swearing. Though her tone remained playful as always, her style was always serious within informality. Everyone knew the unlucky young lady's words containing "lifeti" were very serious.

Causal magic's strongest was mysterious beyond words. Paired with such a personality user also counted as blessing or curse—her maxims weighed heavily.

"Lifeti is too short..."

After speaking, Jin Ruochu felt sowhat lancholy, actually changing to grand poet atmosphere, yet couldn't compose half a punctuation mark for ages.

Hibiscus conveniently popularized: "Just taking basic physical strength—don't forget magical girls' strengthening lies in life level sublimation. Haven't you noticed you no longer attract mosquitoes, skin diseases, allergies, or aging? Longevity and eternal youth are small matters among small matters. Rest assured—our ti is longer than imagined."

Light Magic Girl worldview's transformation leaned toward species job changes—simply another species, even an evolutionary path with unlimited potential.

"No need for long—I feel very satisfied now. Having ho feels really good."

Jin Yulu, silent for long, suddenly spoke. For orphan backgrounds, a place to belong sufficed, so regardless of where she went, she eagerly contributed strength, always feeling safer.

"Our team mostly has serious psychological problems—must emphasize spiritual civilization construction in future."

As soon as Hibiscus spoke, everyone froze.

You're clearly always wavering between life-risking gambling and people-pleasing fence-sitting, madness and calm coexisting, hot and cold—don't you have any self-awareness?

The silver-haired girl ignored companions' teasing gazes, pointing at the sky: "First round explosive magic power growth is coming—watch carefully."

Without netizens sharing intelligence early, she might have missed such beauty:

Around spatial rifts appeared ribbon-like substantial magic power extending across sky without visible end. No one knew where they'd stretch—sky high, sea broad, clouds light, wind gentle, air even faintly scenting fragrance. Not only that, gathering magic power spanned firmant regardless of day or night, lighting vision with ripple-form spreading. Everyone worldwide would feel magnificent, powerful, grand auras surrounding hearts.

Beach magical girls frequently exclaid, so photographing for mories. Naturally Hibiscus also used system photography functions recording everything—it held another aning:

All magic destined to be active and create legends in this era once resonated with this magic power tide. The future was destined to be magnificent.
