Almost forgot about sothing.
Ever since Hibiscus updated her status with "Heading to Arctic War Zone" accompanied by a single aerial view of the polar region, there's been no news from her—no reports of safety, no updates. As expected, she still hasn't adapted to the social dia convention of updating her own status.
With this thought, I opened the system page and sure enough, the last status update was bustling with activity below, filled with urgent-style comnts:
【Ti Priestess, where are you? I've reached the Arctic, where are you?】
【Win or lose, just give us a sign. Even if you failed, I need to light cyber incense for you】
【Boss Hibiscus habitually slacking off】
【Just from this image, the Arctic war zone has already begun fighting and it's quite intense. The spatial rifts in the distance look like aurora's dazzling special effects. This is bad—now it's really like seeing soone's face and hearing their voice. What's the casualty situation? How many losses did the Allied Forces, Disaster Beasts, fairies, and magical girls suffer? Urgent urgent urgent】
【The comnts under this thread are so imrsive. Don't worry, the OP is just playing The Sims. No updates definitely ans she's creating super high-quality videos. It must be that】
【The knowledge poison from another world is too severe, so Hyacinth has to rest for a while】
【Thank you, Hibiscus】
【Dear, you're always thinking of everyone】
The silver-haired girl smiled faintly—just as it should be. Fortunately, she hadn't been idle these past few days and had edited so footage, otherwise she might have beco a total slacker.
Speaking of that knowledge poison incident, it was indeed extrely dangerous. Even with Beatrice's Encyclopedia helping to offset it, a large amount of contamination was still separated out. Even powerful magical girls could easily end up disabled from such exposure. At the ti, Hibiscus imdiately collapsed with blood flowing from all seven orifices, her consciousness blurred. In her mory, aside from desperately trying to rember the intelligence, there was nothing else.
Afterward, according to Nan Zhiyi, she was so scared she cried, because all healing thods were ineffective. All the magical girls put their heads together but were helpless and could only pray.
To put it bluntly, the Salvation Church might not be able to maintain itself and faced the risk of dissolution.
Soone had taken a photo of that mont:
In the image, everyone surrounded the silver-haired girl lying in a pool of blood. Beatrice blad herself in deep regret, Nan Zhiyi cradled Hibiscus's face and gently stroked it, Jin Yulu led the battlefield first aid along with nurous healing thods to save her... Next to them lay another person: Jin Ruochu. She paid the price of severe injury and fainting on the spot to reversely grant Hibiscus good fortune, including but not limited to the strongest causal magic, healing magic, enhancent magic and other thods that finally salvaged the situation.
Doctor Joan said there was a period when her heartbeat stopped and she lost spiritual power fluctuations, which could be called chanical death and almost warranted a terminal judgnt. Fortunately, the leader of the Church pulled through.
Hibiscus actually didn't suffer too much pain—all her energy was used to absorb intelligence, then she fell asleep and woke up to see everyone looking at her.
"I'm back." Before she finished speaking, everyone rushed to embrace her. Warmth surrounded the silver-haired girl, and from that mont she also resolved never again to exceed her limits to obtain intelligence. There was no need—in the future, a strong and mature organization could stand on its own.
Even now, thinking back gives her lingering fears.
Really scary.
Hibiscus's desperate use of "Ti Magic Prophecy" greatly inspired the magical girls, uniting them and condensing the Church's spiritual soul for the first ti.
If the organization's leader was so desperate, what couldn't be done? This will supported everyone's rapid progress in the final special training, otherwise the combat group might not have been established. Sincerity brought dedication—without her taking the lead, they might not have been able to put forth five hundred percent of their strength in the catastrophe war.
From the outside world's perspective, Hyacinth beca famous worldwide with military achievents tied to the Arctic battle.
From the perspective of the Church's magical girls, Senior Hyacinth was most heroic when she bore the knowledge poison head-on.
Whether intentional or not, the first magical girl of this era established unshakable prestige through courage, wisdom and strength.
Hibiscus withdrew her thoughts:
The system recording began from when the first batch of Disaster Beasts landed on Arctic positions. Hermit Island had already arrived but was waiting for the right mont—after all, Black Tide was quite clever, and acting rashly might have made it adopt other plans. They had to lure the enemy deep and deliver a decisive blow. Looking back now, it was indeed full of dangers. Even during re-editing, her heart raced no less than during exercise.
A 40-minute condensed version video was uploaded.
She didn't care whether people would be too lazy to watch it anyway—after all, she wasn't taking profits. Rather than focusing on duration, it was better to polish the quality.
The key point was that the entire catastrophe war was packed with valuable content where cutting even a second felt excessive. It was truly torturous.
Hibiscus edited several videos from different perspectives and finally decided on a multi-angle, multi-cara, well-shot version that tried to present the full picture of the battlefield to avoid bias. Even she herself gained a lot from reviewing the Arctic battle:
Through the system's filming perspective, she discovered that during combat, the ice layers not far away had been forcibly lifted to reveal a nuclear submarine, which also proved there was definitely more than one lurking beneath the ice.
The damage caused by intercontinental ballistic missiles only left the Disaster Beasts with the impression that "powerful attacks would co from afar"—how could they anticipate underwater killers? Even though that submarine was affected and flipped out to run aground, it actually didn't suffer much damage. The monsters weren't quite clear what the big black fish toy ant.
Nuclear submarines with icebreaking capabilities hidden in the Arctic were absolute strategic deterrent forces that normally maintained world peace. If they acted, their power would be imasurable.
A wave of fear washed over her.
Hibiscus was certain that if the war situation had been slightly unfavorable, the command might have deployed strategic nuclear warheads. That wouldn't be child's play—the intensity difference between battlefield killing and destroying a major nation was vast, with everyone within the strike range.
She hypothetically imagined a scenario in her mind: How to deal with a nuclear explosion?
The best thod would be extre ti deletion for 10 seconds—would that be enough to survive the absolute killing phase? Then rely on Regalia and Origin to tough out the rest. There was a strategy, but it would be very difficult.
Using a pause for 20 seconds would also work, but if she couldn't instantly clear the killing energy, she'd still have to take a hit. That's why when dealing with Black Tide's ultimate move, Hibiscus chose deletion rather than pause.
Experience told her that truly terrifying power was best handled with deletion, otherwise it was easy to fail.
The explosion core was undoubtedly the primary threat, but with relative speed skills and ti deletion skills plus her own supersonic movent, she could run quite far. There was no need to worry about that aspect, but the outer "absolute killing surface" was still very large—even Hibiscus wasn't confident. Advanced elental magic could briefly achieve elentalization in the future, and there were many spatial thods as well, all with counterasures...
Perhaps the seniors had already provided high-scoring answers.
The Catastrophic Disaster Beasts' Origin was so powerful it ford external barriers and even generated conceptual judgnt skills of "insufficient mystery cannot cause damage."
As Hibiscus understood this layer, she felt a slight headache, obviously representing relatively advanced profound knowledge with even stronger power. Forget it—this wasn't sothing she could pursue at her current stage. Why not ask netizens about their views on future Church construction?
While she was thinking during this ti, the first batch of people who had finished watching the video were already actively discussing.
Hibiscus admitted that a 40-minute video was indeed quite long and might be very discouraging—perhaps there would be no data at all.
But unexpectedly.
Currently showing "12,000 simultaneous viewers"—sothing that had never appeared before. Thanks to her slacking behavior dragging on too long, audiences following Hyacinth's simulation life all flooded in at once. The catastrophe war was considered heavyweight even in the original work, with countless fan creations throughout history that had to be sampled.
They weren't disappointed. Just looking at the progress bar length was unusual, and the content was truly a special effects bombardnt with countless famous scenes throughout the video, each move stronger than the last.
Hibiscus presented the battlefields of the Church, Allied Forces, Disaster Beasts, and fairies without any bias. Precisely because of this, everyone had a feast for their eyes—no matter which main perspective they identified with, they could find highlights:
【I'm convinced, what movie-level special effects quality is this】
【OP ca out of seclusion and returned, with rendering, editing and cara techniques improved again. Many places are simply textbook handling】
【Although I'm not a professional, just using the standard of "making everyone comfortable to watch" is enough】
【Worth the wait】
【In the original storyline, Aurora and Blood Tsunami—these two catastrophe wars basically exist only in flashback segnts, which wasn't satisfying at all. Later fan creations that supplented them always felt like sothing was missing. OP made understand that the power of every warring party should be fully presented. Although this segnt should belong to "Hyacinth's Simulation Life," I very much agree. It's handled very well, covering all aspects】
【Good review for the duration. Many feature films' third act climax is often around 40 minutes. The video creator put their heart into it—no need for buildup, straight to the point. So satisfying】
【Newcor ca in from trending search, where can I watch the previous parts】
【Just flip through the historical videos. Actually, even so, there's quite a threshold since the original source thread updates basically in fragnts】
Light Magic Girl original fans knew that as a major IP of many years, the audience was quite large with higher thresholds. Re-watching from the beginning was too difficult, so being attracted this way wasn't bad—at least the first impression was good. Whether they could retain casual viewers didn't matter; you couldn't asure that with one fan creation video. The OP provided a visual feast.
So worth it!
Viewers who had been following since the college entrance exam post were deeply moved. What they previously thought was an electronic pet had completely transford and sohow mysteriously developed—truly fantastical.
The reason netizens waited for updates, actively discussed, and urged for more was because the publisher was becoming increasingly talented. Everyone had been attracted, and after getting used to shoddy work, only major productions could cleanse their eyes.
Urgent—not watching for one day felt like bugs crawling all over their bodies.
Hibiscus looked at the active discussion and temporarily kept her questions to herself, enjoying it together with everyone.
People aren't tools—she couldn't always ask a question then log off and say goodbye. A little interaction was good too, as long as it didn't trigger knowledge poison, it counted as pleasant communication.
In a sense, this counted as "listening to unknown high-dinsional beings beyond the stars to gain forbidden knowledge and transform the world, where past, present and future are rely playthings in one's palm"—quite Cthulhu-esque.
The catastrophe event-related knowledge nearly killed Hibiscus, but she was still grateful for the contributors' generosity, otherwise the losses would have been greater.
When she received that intelligence, her reaction seed intense but the organizers had carefully sorted through the information volu, ensuring the knowledge poison wouldn't be too potent, trying to control it within a range—obviously processed with great care. If it weren't for everyone's familiar relationship, they wouldn't be so serious. Information passed without screening would definitely blow her head off.
【Finished watching】
【I will always love Hyacinth, glory to the Hibiscus faction】
【Did you all notice: the video production segnts correspond one-to-one with the pre-war intelligence inquiry post replies, with targeted thods given for all Disaster Beast characteristics】
【Black Tide's large-scale explosion directly targeted its character weakness—about to trick out its ultimate move, then full-power ti deletion directly negated it. Brain-eating beasts were handled by the ntally crazed Holy Relics since crazy people have maxed ntal defenses. Aurora goes without saying—lure away the fairies then use the Holy Lance for complete retreat. Each step interlocked with corresponding elents. Hyacinth as commander was equally excellent】
【One thing I still don't understand: logically magical girls shouldn't be as good at relic application as corresponding qualified users, so why did the Holy Lance respond to her so easily】
【Watch carefully once more—it was previously in Beatrice's hands, suppressing knowledge poison with the Encyclopedia】
Just like that.
Before uploading, Hibiscus had pondered how to handle "plot bugs," but now soone was helping her answer—how reasonable and credible.
Netizens also expressed that this was definitely due to Hyacinth's world-shaking wisdom.
Could it be that you don't doubt at all how I could use magic crystals to bear multiple types of blessings while keeping my body intact? Everyone didn't dwell on this point at all, just thinking it was cool and that was it. Beauty dispelled all suspicions, and it was instead praised as the segnt with the most original hot-blooded manga spirit.
Hibiscus found this both amusing and exasperating. What she thought was a plot hole beca widely praised—truly unpredictable.
【Screenshot saved at highest quality】
The new reply that rose to the top of the comnts was a widescreen image:
The background showed a scene of war and flas, with crimson smoke and endless ice fields together, heavy snow and continuous artillery fire. At the center of the battlefield stood a silver-haired girl, aloof from the world, covered in wounds but with unchanged expression, her bright eyes locked onto the enemy. She wore a black military uniform with cape, white thigh-high stockings torn with holes exposing thigh skin—strong yet evoking pity, though one dared not condescend with sympathy. Because around the girl swirled colorful crystal fragnts, sparkling brilliantly like a warrior, conveying a divine religious feeling, like the descent of a savior.
The publisher not only chose an excellent screenshot angle but also seriously post-processed it, with enhanced color, dinsionality, and saturation—movie promotional photo quality.
Even Hibiscus herself felt a bit embarrassed, not knowing she had such an image at the ti. She felt the post-processing was too intense, creating an idol halo.
【Cute, single-push】
【OP's cosplay looks godlike no matter how many tis you see it. Setting aside makeup, she's also a great beauty】
【Hyacinth super transformation form, grand entrance! Speaking of which, this should be a self-designed image, right? Indeed, magic crystals can store magical effects for assistance—following the setting while extending innovation. Thoughtful】
【Hyacinth gaining Swift Thunder, Purifying Light, Healing Rain, Rainbow Fortress—four great magical blessings simultaneously goes crazy enhancent, mad enhancent, explosive enhancent ahhhhh------】
【Co out, Quadruple War God】
【As OP's fan who hasn't seen the original work, didn't expect Black Tide to actually beco the plot's number one boss in terms of screen ti. Really hard to deal with, even showing reversal. Does the original also have this】
【It's the result guided by everyone's intelligence and magical girls together, after all it's the "Hyacinth's Simulation Life after receiving netizen advice" thed thread】
【I'm gradually accepting the setting, but still prefer the 3D real-person version Ti Priestess】
【That's called human form】
Hibiscus really wanted to say I'm not originally a 2D paper person, but if you're happy, that's fine.
She didn't deliberately apply makeup or dress up—it was all thanks to her magical girl foundation. Moreover, as her life level improved, her hair, skin and other aspects would improve, perhaps giving people a dreamy, unreal feeling instead. The misunderstanding was good, and with system cover, it wouldn't seem like two different worlds.
Just as Hibiscus was pondering, the discussion beca increasingly detailed:
【I feel like I didn't understand so parts. Actually, so magical characteristics I think have quite a few changes compared to the original work, expanding so new aspects on the previous foundation】
【Fortune and Misfortune doesn't lean toward killing but develops more toward omnipotent support, playing a role from beginning to end】
【The strongest domain magic opened twice—once for movent within range, once for large-area projection to suppress enemies. Using good steel on the blade's edge, worthy of being the study-god Nan Zhiyi who developed new gaplay for Small Universe】
【Imperial Flower fans are so moved. In this battle, every ti she encountered powerful attacks she transford to tank them, taking the most damage and bleeding the most】
【First tank】
【Ti Priestess: Jin Yulu, you've protected so many people you should protect, you should be satisfied by now】
This comnt was paired with an image of the silver-haired girl with a proud expression, standing tall, facing the dragon girl collapsed in a pool of blood, the latter barely breathing. The composition was full of post-battle atmosphere with smoke gradually clearing and victory decided, like a farewell scene, never to et again.
Even without seeing the original work, Hibiscus could guess this was most likely that "Strongest Magical Girl Battle" with plot ranking second, establishing the Salvation Church's rule over Planet Gaia.
In that tiline, both sides fought to the death, creating disaster...
【Stabbing , huh? Don't sleep too soundly tonight】
【Tears】
【Satisfied, in the simulated new tiline Imperial Flower protected everything, big win. Didn't experience Pacific front devastation, didn't sink into external pressure and guilt... The current you is very radiant】
【Protected indeed, but the other two are already racing down the romance track, only you're still under self-pressure thinking you're not strong enough】
【At least in the original Nan Zhiyi and Jin Ruochu have romantic line tendencies. As for Jin Yulu, pure wood, can't expect anything, but the new tiline getting close with Boss Hibiscus isn't bad either】
Seeing this, Hibiscus's face darkened as she rembered the system once rewarded affection level activation, indicating the other party had special feelings. In a sense, it was certification of absolute trust—after all, she relied most on the three people whose affection levels opened, only feeling at ease entrusting tasks to her right and left hands. But talking about romance was indeed strange... No, feelings were never just about who wanted to be ambiguous with whom. At least life-and-death experiences couldn't be sumd up with a simple "like."
They had all experienced hell together and helped each other walk out—that was what was truly precious.
She would respond to those feelings.
Or rather, she had always been doing so, just never actively made it clear. After all, Hibiscus understood the original storyline's complicated emotions—those tested were worth entrusting.
Actually, she hoped for so reference intelligence in this area, but unfortunately the original was purely action manga. CP pairing was more from fans' perspectives, with limited official sweet monts. So when netizens' topic shifted slightly back to the catastrophe itself, it even attracted many ga players to join.
Hibiscus had heard that "Light Magic Girl" was also adapted into a mobile ga that was still popular, with the catastrophe war being quite important.
Perhaps players' perspectives could provide more different intelligence.
【Used to small people on phone screens, OP's big production really hits the spot】
【Very faithful, especially the Catastrophic Disaster Beasts' magic mystery degree judgnt "shield value" is indeed disgusting. The Allied Forces also experienced the feeling of scratching, right】
【Not entirely correct. Following true ga settings, non-judgnt skills hitting would reduce 0, reality at least causes so damage】
【This needs careful analysis. Does nuclear bombs count as pure ordinary weapons or "belong to attacks under Prophecy Book's fate"—the two have vastly different shield value destruction】
【Tricky thinking】
【Genius】
【Allied high command should have calculated this layer. Moreover, the real big killer was left to the Holy Lance, or if all else failed, wait for disaster expansion to use the trump card. They thought their plan was flawless but were deceived by Black Tide. Aurora was also in the ga—worthy of the early period's most cunning Disaster Beast】
【Back then I suggested Hyacinth not bear knowledge poison to obtain intelligence. Thinking about it now, absolutely worth it, otherwise consequences would be hard to predict】
【All calculations can't compare to Boss Hibiscus】
【As long as there's preparation, Black Tide's little sches aren't a problem. We're in the atmosphere after all. Farewell, you're just a mortal who appeared in the era before White Hyacinth】
【Ti Priestess: Black Tide, you have already lost. You absolutely cannot defeat . I have already comprehended the realm of insurmountable quadruple auxiliary magic blessings. My wings, co out------】
【You're going to make die laughing】
【We discussed pre-battle whether we could stack buffs for enhancent. OP really used it, completely natural】
【Ca here attracted by fa. The "Quadruple Magic Form Hyacinth" image you ntioned has already gone viral. I saw it in group chats—destined to break out of the circle】
【Croak, don't break out of the circle, I don't want to be called a Light fan】
Hibiscus covered her face laughing. Gradually beginning to understand netizens' abstract humor, she could finally understand the cody. Worthy of technology at least 30 years ahead of Planet Gaia—culture was getting increasingly bizarre. The internet was truly wonderful, the other world far ahead.
Whether it went viral didn't matter to her anyway. She just casually updated her status daily to get those "daily system reward" scraps—too lazy to care about the twists and turns.
From the discussion just now, her tactical thinking was correct, so magical girls fighting as a team was completely viable. Now it was Hibiscus's turn to complain about the original work—since they could stack buffs to create monsters eating full benefits, why did the plot prefer one-on-one duels? You completely don't consider teammates providing support, right? It should be the author making trade-offs to present each battle. Anyway, reality couldn't be like that—group beating was justice.
From netizens' scattered words, Hibiscus had already guessed that the original storyline's catastrophe caused severe losses worldwide.
Only seeing it firsthand made her believe it.
Aurora absolutely had the ability to plow from the Arctic to the Pacific region. Even without Black Tide as a factor, it alone would be enough to give the Allied Forces a hard ti.
The reason they defended this ti was because Hibiscus summoned fairy knights in advance and provided stable coordinates, finally preventing Aurora from expanding its results. Then dealing with the number two figure Black Tide interrupted the catastrophe event's pace, so everyone could safely get through the crisis. Even now she could lie on the beach watching school while chatting.
Hibiscus had a thought and asked: "The catastrophe can be considered concluded, but might we have used too much force? If official nerfs aren't sufficient, the Church might be in trouble."
The discussion page beca lively again as everyone had to deduce future situations from current conditions.
【Hard to say in short ti, @Hyacinth has uploaded materials, first look at what was supposed to specifically happen】
