【However, poster, you guessed correctly—officials indeed divined Hyacinth's identity, both books participated】
【Don't worry, actually ti magic's inherent Knowledge Poison and counter-reconnaissance are quite strong, because every use disrupts established divination results. Reconnaissance has little aning—just lacks a defensive counterattack chanism, no problem】
【By the way, Oracle Book is kept by Kale. She divined you and beca quite interested after getting this result—after all, genuinely ancient】
Hibiscus wasn't surprised learning she'd been detected—after all, she'd already tangled with the Prophecy Books.
Whatever.
Fa brings trouble. As Salvation Church Leader, how could she not attract attention? She'd been using ho-cooked als to exchange for Jin Ruochu adding another layer of counter-reconnaissance disaster protection—turns out it was completely unnecessary?
No wonder the pink-haired girl always had that mysterious smile. She probably noticed early on that counter-reconnaissance never triggered and consud no magical power.
But this didn't prevent the dignified original female protagonist from freeloading, enjoying the final BOSS's culinary hospitality.
With the Church's increasingly close cooperation with the military, Hibiscus estimated those intelligence investigations should cease. Anyway, the Church shrouded in two major causality magics plus Universal Eraser was unfathomable. Admittedly, the Prophecy Books were definitely top-tier relics, but they always played high-end gas. Having weathered catastrophic Disaster Beasts and strongest magic baptisms, they could retire successfully—this area was too deep for them to handle.
【So Kale beca interested in Hyacinth like this, hooray】
【Sinful Boss Hibiscus】
【No, definitely don't celebrate too early. Ancient or not doesn't matter—the key is the "strongest" halo has always been Light Magic series' flag, easily making the person unlucky. Should count as a debuff. Since you're strongest, you'll fight Control Freak Miss later】
【Historically strongest Magical Girl VS modern strongest Magical Girl, new chapter, grand serialization—】
【Jin Ruochu's sharp comnt: Doctor, you're the strongest】
【This ti definitely losing—too much program effect】
【Humorous】
【With that extrely cautious personality who stays ho until death, she won't be too showy. Even ignoring her is fine. Wait until the ti is ripe later for long-term planning. The result of opening dungeons early is getting blown up】
【@Hyacinth, don't take it too seriously lest you attract Kale's attention. She's actually a bit timid—this ti just finding an excuse to contact Salvation Church】
【In the original work, the still-weak Church accidentally got to know her through conflict. One was a Holy Relic responsible for suppressing disobedient Magical Girls, the other was a rising organization's leader. The forr valued this highly and decided to beco an investor. The new world line might not be the sa—now the Church is a genuinely world-class giant, so Kale would instead vigilantly maintain distance while probing, mostly having subordinates conduct peripheral investigations】
【How exactly to interact still depends on you. Expose or not expose? Completely ignore? On-scene reactions still rely on Hyacinth】
【Though the opponent is an old fox, Boss Hibiscus is no pushover either—this wave is evenly matched】
【No, intelligence equals initiative】
Hibiscus quickly replied with thanks—after all, this information was very useful, superb returns. First ti hearing about the concept of Magical Girl 3 major organizations, plus another small organization besides Clover. They all deserved attention, with elevated ratings.
So Obelisk and Zodiac Palace should still exist, while the Managent Bureau was actually Salvation Church, so the basic pattern hadn't changed much—the latter growing stronger.
Netizens deliberately skipping ntion of the 3 major organizations was itself a revelation—better not rashly investigate.
Thinking from their perspective, they definitely each possessed counter-reconnaissance and striking capabilities. What kind of underworld operation lacked such ans? So Hibiscus chose to listen to advice, ignore large organizations, and focus more on small ones.
Don't forget that as the Church rose powerfully, many associations and groups actually directly dissolved and rged in, as if they'd never existed. What remained were all outstanding.
Rangers definitely weren't simple, otherwise they couldn't have lasted so long.
Why?
Questions set aside for now.
If she accepted more heavily contaminated Knowledge Poison, Hibiscus would likely faint—not worth it.
She replied: "Almost ti to reach command. Let's probe their strength like this, then enter Fallen Zone depths together. Though you've all confird Magical Girl Tulip's existence, I think I must go in to et her face to face."
All this talking ultimately served the entire campaign. Moreover, the Church needed to hunt sufficiently high-level Disaster Beasts to supplent the island's magic arrays—ordinary materials wouldn't work.
【Actively contacting Tulip? Fine, the plot's already gone haywire anyway】
【@Hyacinth, we can provide fewer and fewer valuable prophecies—probably only intelligence left in the future. You must walk the path yourself】
【Be careful. The high-tier Disaster Beasts called hegemons in Fallen Zones are based on higher magical power concentration, understand? Can't compare to general high-tiers outside Black Tide in catastrophe war. There the upper limit is higher plus enemy ho field advantage—very troubleso. Worse, they all like moving in groups... But they also blocked Tulip's exit. If you're determined, go ahead】
【This is the Hyacinth I know】
【Simulation's aning lies in completely different directions. Poster will bring a grand Fallen Zone recapture war】
Hibiscus spoke frankly: "Right, we have too many reasons to enter Fallen Zone depths. I feel so power there resonates with ancient Hermit Island's defensive arrays... Let investigate."
Both sides cleanly ended another cross-world communication.
However, before enjoying peace, she received a series of system notification sounds. Sure enough, they ca from suggestions generated in the recent dialogue:
[Suggestion "Gain Magical Girl Kale's Trust" Reward: 120 Free Attribute Points]
[Suggestion "Enter Fallen Zone Depths" Reward: dium Magic Advancent Stone Fragnt ×1]
A long-awaited dium advancent stone, but everyone knew this guy was never generous. From another angle, it hinted danger to Hibiscus. Were Fallen Zone depths really so easy to visit? Otherwise, the elite reconnaissance teams sent by military and rcenaries over the years wouldn't have all disappeared without return.
Very dangerous.
The Salvation Church was never the type to keep away due to re danger. Even if Hyacinth used her authority to persuade everyone, they might not necessarily retreat.
Hibiscus stood by the window watching Magical Girls process Disaster Beast materials on the beach. Morale was high, eager to fight, as if they had inexhaustible energy. The organization's foundation remained vigorous, but she needed rest.
"Hello? Island-wide broadcast here—this is the helmsman. We're almost at New Zealand's North Island."
Voices from Anri Sakagami and Ruan Manyue reminded everyone. anwhile, mist ahead rapidly thinned and harsh weather ended.
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
Hermit Island shore.
Nairu grabbed the fishing net's tail with one hand, suddenly exerting force and shouting "Goldification—"
The domain projection as she turned deeply branded the fish and shrimp with money-obsessed psychological hypnosis. One by one, bewitched, they treated the beach as treasure and rushed ashore one after another, making fishing exceptionally simple. The next mont, thousands of golden-dusted catches were dragged ashore—human power achieving small fishing boat effects.
Magical Girl Water Lily stretched lazily, laughing toward the sky. Wearing a sailor shirt and bathed in long wind, she bead as she put her hand to her ear asking:
"This is today's biggest catch, right? Even if Disaster Beasts appeared and hunting divided the catch, I won!"
"Worthy of captain."
"So magic can be used like this—why didn't I think of it?"
Facing such praise, Nairu held her head high, proud and pleased. Not that it was particularly glorious—after all, the Church had experts like clouds, hardly her turn for self-satisfaction. The key was finding existential value, belonging, and ho atmosphere during three months of interaction. Whenever everyone called her by the captain nickna, she was happier. Previously just a wandering Nauru refugee, now finally having a ho.
From ntal perception of emotions, everyone also sowhat held family identification with the Church—all acquaintances in an intimate society where anything could be discussed, much like her forr holand.
Thanks to this atmosphere and constant training, she'd just reached Seedling Stage last week, with magic itself responding to its master's joy.
"Miss Water Lily, it's too early to talk victory."
Not far away, Magical Girl Red Spider Lily smiled sweetly. Several dozen cute-style monsters dove into the sea to fish under her pointing finger, while she used hair ornant telekinesis to control kitchen knives continuously processing sashimi, not forgetting to host juniors in her spare ti.
"Senior, your summons aren't good at dayti activity, right? Can they manage?"
"Though my magic is Hundred Demons Night Parade, that doesn't an dayti won't work. The real aning is nightti can match stronger opponents." Minase Kaori pointed at Regalia manifesting only one part: "According to Instructor's words, the strong never complain about environnt, right? Adapt then overco."
"Deep understanding indeed."
Currently, Minase Kaori followed a magic-Regalia 2-elent route, because the latter's magical power operation assistance complented summons perfectly.
As an "old-tir" among Salvation Church's external expansion "first generation mbers," Magical Girl Red Spider Lily was skilled at managent with good interpersonal relationships and leadership, earning everyone's trust.
Moreover, Hundred Demons Night Parade was indeed fun. She usually liked free-ranging cute demons as Regalia operation practice.
Of course, nothing was absolute—so summoning types needed powerful Origin to display better.
Nairu looked at Magical Girl Noble Orchid beside Minase Kaori, helping out. Possessing summoning-type Shadow Warrior ability, she was arranged by Hyacinth to follow the Church's first summoning combat force for learning, currently maintaining half the imitation numbers of Hundred Demons Night Parade.
"Slower, Yueki. Don't try controlling summons—letting them be helps adaptation..."
Before the senior finished guiding, the girl covered her face sighing: "Encountered Disaster Beasts. My hard-caught hairtail."
Bang!
Hermit Island's distant sea suddenly exploded with spray—obviously Disaster Beasts attacked Shadow Warrior demons. Without the original user's operation plus unfamiliarity, naturally falling short at first encounter.
Now hoping to continue competing over who caught more fish was impossible.
"My hotown was swallowed by these marine creature-type Disaster Beasts. Not the type where existing Disaster Beasts like Abyssal White Whale and Black Wing later mimicked animals, but more like evolved from them, holding absolute ho advantage in seas." Nairu said hatefully: "Moreover, even the military fears this type, avoiding discussion, essentially allowing Pacific island falls by standing by watching hell descend."
Minase Kaori murmured: "Disaster Beasts? Actually human hearts are more terrifying. During my laboratory imprisonnt, I thought I wasn't in the human world."
"Indeed, I heard seniors ntion rcenaries colluding with officials for capture—was it really that terrible?"
"Of course. You wouldn't like being injected with various drugs in a windowless white room. Even thinking about it now causes insomnia."
This speech earned many Magical Girls' nods—everyone shared this mory, easily forming consensus. Anyway, rcenaries and military forces in cahoots weren't trustworthy and were quite detestable. Cooperation was fine, but maintain distance otherwise—out of sight, out of mind.
Don't get involved.
"Usually can't tell everyone hates them so much." Nairu was puzzled.
"Because Senior Hyacinth helped us get revenge. Public execution of nurous researchers led by Quincy, Eagle Company also had to reorganize—quite satisfying."
After navigation work concluded, Anri Sakagami stepped on slide-shaped spatial barriers from hilltop to beach, hearing everyone's discussion and actively answering, not missing any chance to bla enemies.
"Won't cry until seeing the coffin. Dealing with rcenaries requires simultaneously striking life and economics—Senior Hyacinth did right." Ruan Manyue's soft voice remained firm.
"How do you interact with rcenaries? Actually getting along so well that even General Sid values and respects you."
Nairu voiced Magical Girls' questions.
The organization's nicknad rcenary sister duo belonged to star-level recruitnt—highly topical in experience, identity, and magical talent.
She continued: "When my Magical Girl identity was first exposed, I got hit with tranquilizer darts and loaded into transport vehicles. When sister learned, she drove a fully loaded oil tanker truck and crashed into them—all ard personnel inside beca pancakes. She told that because little sister was a Magical Girl, she dared use this move, and fortunately I was unconscious—otherwise at-wrapped-in-tal wouldn't be pretty. After I opened doors and sister fought, we killed everyone related to this operation. Soone threatened our family, so we killed Eagle Company branch chief's family mbers, going by household registry. Then expanding to every rcenary company—two weeks later Red Cedar sent job offers."
"......"
Everyone looked dumbfounded. Sounded satisfying enough, quite like their organization leader's style—because they were fellow townspeople?
Ruan Xinyue added: "Actually I benefited from Boss Hibiscus's help. rcenaries and Church were confronting each other—they couldn't spare attention. Then Los Angeles battle happened. Sid called saying he didn't want to provoke a second ti-type, hoping to make friends. I said fine, but the condition was everyone who hurt disappears."
This speech impacted many Magical Girls' worldviews—success through being tough?
Seed easy on surface, but they understood Flowering Crabapple's unwavering rebellious heart in her words, identical to Hyacinth—no, to Church founders. Cross this type and you'd have no good days.
Dormancy was temporary, grudges were lifelong. No need to ask—those ordinary people considered impressive had beco "conditions."
The struggle story personally told by the Ruan sisters gave Magical Girls another lesson.
It could be done like this!
Thinking carefully, Church backbone already had similar action logic—strike when needed, open situations first then play politics. Like Hyacinth publicly executing counciln, storming Eagle Company for demolition—undisguised swift and decisive force, establishing reputation then monetizing it with flexible positioning.
"Your experience is interesting—well done." Miyuki, who'd been quietly listening, gave a thumbs up: "Flowering Crabapple, Dieffenbachia—you truly understand combat."
Force wasn't just fighting—to keep up with Elsa and help required gaming wisdom.
Nairu couldn't help asking: "Miss Phalaenopsis, by awakening batch and joining ti we're roughly the sa generation. What topic concerns you most? Or which enemy influenced your experience more?"
"Disaster Beasts, of course. They're too annoying."
"......I thought you'd be more concerned about fan harassnt of idols and such."
"Clover team exists because everyone happens to have Magical Girl identities for grouping—otherwise we'd have gone separate ways long ago. Disaster Beasts are the primary threat."
Miyuki hoped to walk career paths with Elsa, Fuka hoped idol activities would earn money to heal her infection disease injuries, remaining Yueki desired big star treatnt, Maho ca from musical family wanting to beco a singer... Everyone had goals yet gathered together. In a sense, Behemoth, Shadow Warrior, Military Band—these 3 magics indeed suited their users.
Conversely, she awakened Boxer due to amateur fighting hobby? Elsa's conflicted personality awakened Love and Hate?
Obviously mismatched.
Suddenly Zoe familiarly moved a beach stool over, attracting everyone's attention without any unfamiliarity despite joining just days ago.
She smiled: "Everyone, let introduce my best number one friend Helen, number two friend... who was it?"
"Angela." Sowhere air seed to say.
"According to Church rules, we all disclosed information to so degree—we should understand each other. If forced to say what matters? Nothing but making money, studying, etc. But all three of us find magic interesting, worth lifelong exploration. See, different generations have different demands."
Magical Girl Mirror Grass's Mountain Building Movent magic was hard to forget, plus she belonged to Seedling Stage backbone—key to Fallen Zone operations.
Her two companions Hollow Bubble and Narcissus also had distinctive magic. During joining ceremonies' self-introductions, their curiosity about magic wasn't fake but genuine—turns out not hiding bitter stories deliberately but being consistent inside and out.
Quite rare.
Nairu, who started this topic, was slightly stunned, then smiled with relief.
Fine—she didn't want to hear only heavy stories anyway. Magical Girls called miracle incarnations having so ordinariness wasn't bad. This was better, making hearts feel more healed.
Other companions nodded frequently.
Everyone understood the new trio better and approved more—finally so normal people, making Salvation Church more down-to-earth.
They preferred civilian organizations primarily handling military business with various cultural activities secondarily—no need for every mber to have unforgettable mories.
Minase Kaori murmured: "So first generation concerns rcenaries, second generation Disaster Beasts, third generation magic?"
Such summarization was indeed convincing—hitting the nail on the head. Changing perspectives partly reflected contradictions transforming under specific situations. For example, relatively safe present producing mbers focused on magic itself, exploring knowledge's far shore without worrying about other things. Should count as progress—otherwise organizations only focused on survival would be dire.
Actually indirectly proved Church environnt was in violent turbulence.
In just one year, 3 generations with different mainstream experiences and perspectives represented extre youth plus greater external changes.
"Enough to write sociology papers." Hearing this, Anri Sakagami smiled faintly: "If summarizing like Kaori, what topic concerned founders even earlier than first generation like us?"
"Getting stronger."
Several Magical Girls answered simultaneously—obviously representing most people's answers.
Not just personal improvent but broadly including personal and organizational growth, expansion, and annexing other territories, even unhesitatingly resorting to force when crucial.
"We have a saying: first generation engineering military, second generation finance law, third generation arts philosophy. In terms you foreigners understand—predecessors colonize and plunder, descendants lie flat enjoying. Because of this perspective, our 4 bosses are so urgent—can't be slow by a beat."
Ruan Xinyue's words hit the nail on the head.
Though so didn't fully agree with examples, they basically got answers. After all, initial Magical Girls looked around seeing no companions, inevitably developing "I'm forced to be enemies with the whole world" recognition, simply going all-out in action. Coincidentally, Hibiscus, Nan Zhiyi, Jin Ruochu, Jin Yulu were all first-rate talents. diocrities together made sses, but geniuses together broke upper limits, pushing organizations to snowball strength until now.
Each generation's concerns were missions themselves.
Nairu, cupping her chin listening long, affird: "Originally I thought the Church had many unreliable aspects, but now I believe you can recapture Fallen Zones."
"Roar!"
Uninvited guests' roars interrupted leisurely atmosphere. Only then did everyone discover distant hunting Disaster Beasts hadn't left but approached.
"Sparing your life was being too lazy to act—yet you insist on seeking death?" She imdiately transford and dressed.
El Dorado domain projection spread toward sea, instantly turning dozens of ignorant ordinary Disaster Beasts into statues. However, opponents showed no intention of giving up—distant Disaster Beast roars rose and fell, wave after wave.
Magical Girls prepared for battle—visitors weren't friendly, with estimated hundreds, counting as small-scale cluster events.
Minase Kaori asked: "Anri, sure our heading is South Pacific base? My summons even reported Vanguard Disaster Beast presence."
"Definitely no problem."
Thousand-Li Viewing Mirror and Hermit Island movent indeed never had accidents, so only one possibility remained: New Zealand base was quite lively. Worthy of Fallen Zone's first southern frontline—no peaceful command atmosphere whatsoever, clearly a nail driven into enemy-controlled territory.
Bold enough—turns out New Allied Forces indeed chose a heroically spirited position.
"This level you handle yourselves." A dragon disappeared in clouds above: "We need to prepare negotiation materials."
"Yes, ma'am."
