No need to wait longer—as usual, use up rewards as quickly as possible.
Lottery attempts basically yielded advancent stone fragnts, small potions, etc. Don't underestimate their plainness—the latter were increasingly useful.
If Hibiscus didn't manage forces it wouldn't matter, but Salvation Church's Magical Girls really needed them. For example, in the Antarctic battle, Jin Yulu and Beatrice suffered severe Knowledge Poison contamination and had to be treated with complete recovery potions, or they might survive but have lingering effects.
Reward-given recovery potions had "highest priority healing effects" characteristics. Even as counterasure cards alone, they could turn defeat into victory—absolutely crucial.
As her own recovery beca increasingly sufficient, Hibiscus actually stockpiled potions for ergencies.
Similarly, exchange points were saved for later use.
Then small origin advancent stone fragnts and small Regalia advancent stone fragnts perfectly supplented consumption, but Hibiscus didn't plan to continue wearing them short-term. Having touched the three elents' corresponding Blooming Stage abilities, she'd simply save them up.
Remaining: 200 Attribute Points.
Large quantities were rarely seen. Since so, she wasn't polite, imdiately distributing evenly among five-dinsional attributes. Instantly her body surged with heat. The girl before the mirror had silver hair dancing, skin gleaming as if steaming, her aura becoming more restrained and unfathomable. This wasn't simply the result of point allocation—likely stimulating already greatly increased attributes, both combining to push toward new levels.
Hibiscus opened her long-absent status panel with anticipation. Sure enough, new changes appeared:
[Constitution: 1500]
[Magic Power: 1800]
[Spirit: 1690]
[Speed: 1600]
[Strength: 1430]
The average line far exceeded the 1500 threshold—much stronger than typical Growth Stage's 1000-point average. No wonder she'd beco an over-spec existence in Church Magical Girls' eyes. According to current trends, she could reach 2000-point average before Blooming Stage, with even greater explosive improvent after advancent.
During the Arctic battle against Black Tide with pre-Catastrophe Disaster Beasts core, Hibiscus briefly reached 2500-point, even 3000-point realms—no longer distant.
These battles relied entirely on dominant basic panels for overwhelming victories. Numbers plus chanisms were hard truth.
She had a brainstorm, suddenly switching to full Regalia transformation form while awakening ornant, gloves, and upper garnt reinforcent attachnts. Sure enough, the average approached the 2000-point threshold—this form provided explosive short-term attribute boosts.
Late-stage 10,000-point averages weren't impossible.
Unfortunately, normal was normal, burst was burst—don't treat burst as normal.
Hibiscus's imdiate priority was still training the next stage's three elents, and this ti should be faster, having found the pathway.
Besides this, the reward panel closed temporarily. There probably wouldn't be missions short-term—finally so leisure ti. The days of constantly chasing schedules should end.
"Wait!"
She almost forgot to give netizens feedback again. This series of battles had luxurious lineups—too regrettable if the think tank didn't see them, plus they could provide references.
Though Hibiscus didn't participate throughout, no matter—she'd collected video materials, and the Church had Magical Girls with "ability to extract mories and display as images." Have her scan all participants once—materials galore.
They compiled everything for Hibiscus to edit—a technique she'd long mastered.
Because it was divided into two battlefields plus adding so rcenary combat materials, it wasn't easy.
Hibiscus carefully collected all materials and categorized them, finally determining the basic thread as her own perspective—convenient for stringing together, perfectly connecting after the last eting with President Bull.
Nad "Battle Across the North and South Poles" and uploaded.
The 40-minute video included rcenary flashbacks, Artist Miss's advance battle with the treasury, Jin Yulu's one-against-seven first half...
Though Hibiscus didn't personally participate in so parts, she restored quite a bit based on material footage.
Of course, inevitably mixing in content from her understanding for filling—would it be crude? Facts proved worry was unnecessary—playback beca increasingly active.
Magical Girl Hyacinth: "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting. This ti I tried using multi-perspective complete presentation of Church-position battles. So parts mixed with post-production might not be sufficiently authentic—detailed comparison materials will be released later..."
Comnts beca livelier:
【aning you tried using mostly live footage plus minimal post-production? Got it—Miss Hyacinth is Nolan-style】
【Don't worry, we'll fill in insufficient parts with imagination】
【Combined with the title, should be Salvation Church using current forces to intervene in President Bull's counterattack, heavily pushing historical progress to establish Magical Girl Organization status. Crossing north and south poles... na fits reality. No more talk—watch first to pay respects】
Hibiscus temporarily closed the page to do Regalia and origin training. After all, 40 minutes wasn't short—had to wait for everyone to finish watching before discussing intelligence information.
After waiting an hour, she reopened the blue icon to see bustling activity.
【Just finished watching. Up to now, Salvation Church's suppression of research center and Relic Treasury had twists but was still successful. Part of the credit goes to rcenaries and Artist Miss】
【The video's most satisfying point is not being stingy with large-scale group battles. I love watching Magical Girls' different abilities coordinate】
【Research center was too fragile】
【Look what lineup Boss Mu deployed? High-end combat power almost all present, gathering Administration and Church stars—no shortage of super experts】
【Nothing to say—crushing victory. This level is just appetizer】
【Why is Artist Miss so strong alone? Just because she's a side story character?】
【Performance doesn't equal actual combat power. Think carefully—as a magical creation, she can't use origin and never actually damaged Snow Maiden, always scraping. Plus Artist Miss's combat thinking seems hot-blooded shonen manga but actually focused on delaying—also a master of entanglent type. Don't be fooled by away combat one-against-many; as long as in comfort zone, combat power looks bright. Moreover, "ink return" combat thod is too cheesy—must use burst output to eliminate】
【Indeed, Relic Treasury got hit by counterasure cards. As strongest magic-level mystery products, not afraid of re Knowledge Poison contamination】
【Painter chanism weird】
Hibiscus felt intense headache after reading just a few sentences. So that's it—more information than last ti. That girl was strongest magic derivative, involving very profound applications.
Perhaps the master was in dysfunctional state, or creations couldn't have such freedom.
Worth contacting and recruiting, but still too early.
Hibiscus asked bluntly: "If I want to recruit Artist Miss, any suggestions?"
She sensed that Magical Girl had strong Knowledge Poison contamination—even netizens never ntioned the target's real na. But asking about peripheral scraps of information should be fine.
【Your starting point is good, but I suggest don't start】
【That's a strongest magic core mystery product after all. Casual ntions trigger massive contamination, let alone Artist Miss setting anti-tracking for herself】
【Don't be too nervous. From another angle, Artist Miss acts according to fixed logic as "hot-blooded manga protagonist," so once connected with the Church, she'll definitely et again—this counts as "bonds," right? You can understand it as a magical chanism. Don't find her, wait for her to find you. Then it's the right opportunity to ask】
【Worthy of optician research party. I agree too, and with Boss Mu's charisma should be more useful than suggestions】
【Agree 1】
Hearing this, Hibiscus put down her curiosity and tentatively accepted the suggestion.
Thinking carefully, she really didn't need to pursue too relentlessly. Might as well be Jiang Taigong fishing—willing ones take the bait.
Half the strongest magics were already in her hands, plus T0-level users of causality, ti, and space systems. Now Salvation Church could be called talent-rich. Better cultivate the ho base first before excessive expansion—continue steady progress.
With Administration construction complete, wild Magical Girls had stable channels flowing into the Church—a talent harvesting machine. Managing the current base was sufficient.
Just as she pondered, netizens' discussion topic shifted toward the video itself, everyone beginning to focus on the Antarctic battle.
In many people's minds, Relic Treasury was the real blockbuster news—the undisputed important match point of this war. Whoever seized it won.
The video segnt of Jin Yulu and Beatrice's combination facing the entire Relic Treasury was perfect, satisfying research parties, power-level parties, and pure spectacle special effects parties:
【Earth Dragon Turnover ahhhhh—】
【I'd call it one of the most handso ultimate moves in the entire series. Didn't expect to see special effects version today—bliss】
【Magical Girl Protea 1VS7 opening the strongest journey, Salvation Church's first vanguard, undisputed assault specialist. If you have a key point that can't be taken but must be held, definitely entrust it to Miss Jin Yulu—100% reliable】
【Such a cool big sister, I can't take it, co flirt with 】
【Tap tap you~】
【You're not allowed to go crazy, let go crazy. I want to beco Lord Protea's dog. When you untie your top revealing collarbones like a necklace, swan-like neck smooth and flawless, the healthy feeling of abs is even more intoxicating...】
The comnt section showed many high-definition even post-processed screenshots, including famous scenes like Earth Dragon lifting Relic Treasury and Snow Maiden freezing everything.
Especially one screenshot of Snow Maiden confronting the World Serpent was exceptional. The static image better embodied the magnificence of strongest mythology magic—Jin Yulu fused with earth elental attributes coiled in the sky, half churning seas on frozen earth, half casting enormous shadows into the firmant. Behind her flas roared, golden pupils like suns. Opposite, Relic Treasury built blizzard fortresses, keeping enemies at bay—fire and water incompatible.
Both sides represented their respective camps' top combat power at this ti point. Their collision could be viewed as strategic significance.
So everyone discussed heatedly:
【Too bad Snow Maiden wasn't at full status—after all, she consud energy first with Artist Miss, then imdiately faced Protea. Perhaps hidden injuries existed】
【Talking about hidden injuries with ancient Holy Relic recovery? Ridiculous】
【Wait, by this logic doesn't Artist Miss's fussing around not even weaken status? Sha of strongest magic】
【Can you consider reality? From start to finish, Artist's goal was seizing Holy dicine, Snow Maiden preventing it. Who's fighting to the death with you? Deception and fraud are part of combat power. Reality has no ideal decisive victory scenes. Don't judge combat power from performance—suggest you go to tournant matches】
【Holy Relics are early version protagonists】
【Fine, assuming Snow Maiden wasn't full status, was her 7-on-1 fair? Too bullying, shaless—deserved being counter-killed by Boss Mu in one wave】
【Beatrice: Weakly ntioning—did no one care about at all?】
【World Serpent was originally for outnumbered environnts—taking and bearing damage then generating resistance counterasures to fight back, using powerful vitality to overwhelm enemies. Obviously Jin Yulu's comfort zone—how did it beco Snow Maiden bullying fewer people? You open your eyes wide】
【Don't fight】
【You don't fight—I have sothing good-looking】
A high-resolution image appeared in comnts—Magical Girl Protea in dark blue police uniform but wounded all over, heroic between her brows, taking out handcuffs for the Ti Priestess lying beneath her. The latter turned with glaring eyes, even conveying feelings of humiliation, unwillingness, almost crying expectation. The composition was quite vivid and lifelike, seeming to show another possibility of that strongest Magical Girl battle.
Both were covered in wounds, gasping after great battle, bright hair stained with dirt, clothes disheveled, their pitiful softness moving people.
They had sworn-enemy backgrounds but now intimate contact had special flavor...
Then strange remarks like "Sister Protea quickly cuff ," "I imdiately want to see fanfiction of this image," "severely bully that Ti Priestess" erged, the fighting atmosphere disappearing.
Hibiscus's vision darkened. Usually the system would block crazy declarations about herself, but now seeing everyone's attitude toward Jin Yulu inevitably made her think of herself. You're all too weird.
Seeing this, the silver-haired girl blocked irrelevant comnts.
She forcibly corrected the topic: "Snow Maiden's abilities remind of Ice Flower. Also, World Serpent has multi-elental expressions..."
"Extending this, might we encounter identical abilities in future, or like Artist Miss, could one rely on settings to possess another magic? Like Sands of Ti?"
After witnessing varied abilities, Hibiscus inevitably had this layer of worry.
【Future: as magical power completely transforms the world, seemingly unique magics will beco "specialized magic" types—boundaries no longer distinct. Though ti and space remain noble, they'll beco relatively universal. This is the trend. That distant future has nothing to do with OP. Currently speaking: no】
【Relic Heart of Profound Winter essentially transforms the master toward the conceptual winter, with Knowledge Poison characteristics—effects similar but nature different】
【Passerby also wants to ask—any copying abilities?】
【Rember Gu Rubai's technique magic "Imitation Master"? This ecological niche is occupied—can only restore experience】
【One axiom can answer you—actually, special abilities in Magic Girl of Light have 3 laws】
Hibiscus imdiately raised 120% alertness. First ti hearing that special abilities throughout the worldview had axioms.
Hope Knowledge Poison content isn't too high... No, she already vaguely guessed. Just from those few explanations she could touch the iceberg's tip. If no identical magics existed, deduction was possible. Soone answered with three lines:
【No ability exists that prohibits another ability from taking effect】
【No ability exists that seizes another ability for oneself】
【No ability exists that copies another ability】
【Above: throughout "Magic Girl of Light" complete works plus derivatives, without exception, no characters or phenona violating "3 laws" appeared—could even be called underlying logic given by creators】
Hearing this, Hibiscus was slightly stunned. Thinking carefully, if such abilities appeared they'd indeed destroy balance too much, with intelligence warfare and on-spot reactions greatly reduced.
Moreover, the 3 laws had implicit aning: "don't think about using one magic to restore and recreate another magic"—definitely impossible.
You are unique.
No wonder netizens ntioned earlier that ultimate ice elental magic could achieve sothing like world freezing, but that would never count as ti suspension.
Whether Magical Girl worldview systems were rigorous enough was another matter, but abilities destroying viewing experience and battle plans definitely weren't allowed. Understanding this, Hibiscus felt more relieved. For example, Painter seed wild but actually had many restrictions, especially unable to use other magics.
Relics should also lack similar items.
【I think so. People often have excessive expectations for copying and seizing ecological niche abilities. Once they appear they're deed BOSS—too boring, very tireso】
【If so "copy magic" existed, seemingly powerful but would definitely destroy overall viewing experience. Everyone looks down on you—various developnts beco aningless, utterly boring】
【So even fairy research masters like them didn't successfully restore a Magical Girl's special abilities】
【At most briefly recreate similar effects, like World Serpent transforming different elents】
【No need to hide anymore, @Hyacinth, you should guess Artist Miss belongs to technique magic strongest magic Painter's product. She can grant different abilities through adding settings, but fundantally all rootless duckweed. The more creations abuse settings, the greater price the master bears. Considering main story definitely won't let side story magic go too far, the price is definitely higher—no need to worry too much】
【Strongest of all magics: Sands of Ti】
【Both strong control, large range, high siege, damage immunity, abnormal status plus ti stop support for teammates... comprehensive skill tree, good environntal adaptability】
【Relics used well also work, like Pasha's Faceless One possessing different Disaster Beasts with varied effects—advantageous for group battles】
【From OP's updates, at least Heart of Profound Winter has developed to complete liberation even fusion contamination level. Early magical revival will continuously raise Holy Relic output efficiency—indeed counts as early version protagonists】
【Though relics lack Magical Girl 3 elents, they're better at magical power release, plus one more Knowledge Poison utilization and conceptual liberation—threats aren't simple】
Hibiscus agreed with this point, having dealt with quite a few Holy Relics.
Admittedly, before magical revival she could defeat non-liberated Gallup with third awakening, but tis had changed—everyone was enhanced.
Version updated.
In the just-concluded Antarctic battle, if Snow Maiden had insisted on stopping her actions, it would be very troubleso.
Holy Relics originally had "liberation upper limits they dared not touch." With magical revival, they could further lift restrictions, even vaguely breaking constraints. So they strengthened fastest in the new era.
If Magical Girl Hyacinth hadn't disrupted things.
Hibiscus moved knowledge from netizens while establishing organizational systematic mber cultivation. Overall strength also advanced rapidly—even Holy Relics could hardly lead.
anwhile, topics naturally gradually discussed Antarctic battle's top combat power confrontation between Holy Relics and Magical Girls—another heated discussion round:
【You said Snow Maiden preserved strength earlier, so why did Hyacinth intervene and avoid battle? Surely not scared off by strongest reputation? This doesn't count as genuine comparison. She didn't want to work for military—otherwise why not open complete liberation new stage?】
【Because she doesn't like it?】
【Boss Mu getting more handso, domineering aura leaking—actually gives nurturing feelings】
【Reputation is indeed important, but couldn't scare off Relic Treasury. What really made them wary was ti magic's killing line being too comfortable. Multiple-on-one results in giving away several high-end combat forces—not worth it. Settling for second best—could they delay? Also no. In terms of control and speed, Snow Maiden couldn't match Hyacinth. This wave could only run, at least hide in treasury shelter to await opportunities】
【Even if they really fought, Boss Mu wouldn't be afraid. What's called three-elent complete undergraduate Ti Priestess? Let re Holy Relics properly witness】
【Reviewing original plot, you'll find Ti Priestess is simply "delay battle killer"—everyone responsible for blocking her to buy ti without exception exited, even survivors half-paralyzed】
【Entire work's biggest flag: I'll block Ti Priestess】
【@Hyacinth, why didn't the video introduce rcenary Alliance actions? Feels like missing a piece】
Hibiscus answered truthfully: "Actually I didn't receive detailed intelligence here, still waiting to ask everyone. For safety I didn't send people with Bull's actions."
She had zero trust in that ambitious man, wouldn't easily dispatch Magical Girls.
【OP maintains simulated character life perspective, can only provide Salvation Church line news—understandable. This segnt exists in original works, though historical trajectory differs, but Holy Relic main forces won't change. Both answering Hyacinth and showing passersby】
【Wait, I've been curious—without Church help, how could rcenary Alliance suppress two major institutions? Impossible right?】
【Answer: nuclear bombs plus assassin units】
【Ah】
Just then a video segnt appeared in comnts, quite lengthy and could supplent Hibiscus's intelligence. She was naturally curious how many cards rcenary Alliance hid. Facts didn't disappoint: footage focused on rcenary Alliance headquarters—clearly thick smoke rolling, flas reaching sky, a building-sized Humanoid Disaster Beast slowly standing.
Its head covered with veils symbolizing Faceless One relic, the behind-the-scenes manipulator should undoubtedly be Pasha. Not only that, surrounding Life Spores also represented Philona's assistance.
Two top Holy Relics' joint creation swept through elite forces sent by military in the city. Both sides demolished blocks into ruins at first contact.
Amid rumbling roars, everything within 5 kiloters beca rubble.
Hibiscus raised an eyebrow, thinking no wonder they hid all related footage with collective dia silence.
