As the Villain, I Have a Persuasion System Chapter 272 : Dandelion is a Cat

Plans indeed deserved careful consideration, after all many past tis were forced by major events.

Hibiscus instinctively asked back: "What major chapters occurred after the second Fallen Zone recovery battle in originals? Let reference."

Comparison was important.

If dangerous crisis factors existed, then act now to suppress them. With Salvation Church's current power, domination was feasible. If more troubleso rcenaries or military appeared, directly settle them—stop dragging everyone down.

【After major chapters end, naturally scattered small unit chapters】

【Basically revolving around main characters' families, cultivation, social interactions etc. You know】

【Hot-blooded manga padding ti】

【I think having these off-main-line activities can supplent character developnt, otherwise how to make everyone like characters】

【@Hyacinth, actually you've seen segnts. Next major event is Church attacking Managent Bureau headquarters—White Hyacinth absorbed by Ti Priestess, formally breaking with pink-haired protagonist. Then two factions naturally walk toward open opposition with countless large and small conflicts, prompting Dark Fairies to take advantage of chaos reducing world barriers, hence later frequent Disaster Beast invasion plots】

【So late-stage Managent Bureau plus Church besieging Obelisk, Holy City Association fragnting, allied forces splitting—these plots all occurred amid living hell】

【So it's Disaster Beasts invading on one side while internal wars on the other? Good good good, very human】

【Above, Church versus Managent Bureau direct opposition plot points disappeared. Generally speaking, magic concentration increases causing large-scale infections, frequent Disaster Beast invasions remain unchanged, but humans have foundations for maintaining order longer, so original reference is insufficient】

【At least this period thus】

【Next, Boss Mu's decisions will fill this plot segnt, or we reveal more inside-story level information early】

【Don't, wait until another upgrade. Still early for all-faction declassification】

The ball was kicked back to Hibiscus. Now precisely at a blank stage where major plot points disappeared, early accumulated events would henceforth bring subversive story changes—many things unknown.

Next step?

Having led the Salvation Church this long wasn't so indecisive person. Since in unclear intermission periods, more action was appropriate. Starting points should consider crises—what crises? Massive infections after magic revival.

Plus Disaster Beasts would eventually take advantage of weakened world barriers to restart wars—must guard against them. Then it wouldn't be lonely Catastrophic Disaster Beasts but large-scale clusters.

Besides, fairies already hinted at existences above catastrophic levels.

They were likely "Disasters" Edwina ntioned—hearing titles showed they weren't ordinary, capable of destroying civilizations as "Great Disaster" class.

World Tree Realm knew much.

Optical expert think tanks indicated current-stage information was awkward—useless short-term, longer-term more useless and harmful. Should contact fairies more.

Hibiscus replied: "Won't hide it—Guardian Knights already escorted Dark Fairy prisoners to Erald Court. According to agreents, Magical Girls should be present during interrogations, so we'll visit World Tree once."

This was easily understood—Church originally found pretexts for visits. Communication created value.

【Worthy of Boss Mu, imdiately reacting to secure opportunities】

【Right, no reason for them to always visit us. Magical Girls should also tour World Tree—places Ti Priestess never penetrated, now inviting us as guests】

【Very dramatic】

【Wait, didn't you say be careful of fairies before】

【Correct, both sides have certain disagreents on battlefield selection issues, doesn't an interests don't align. The world isn't black and white—they're reliable enough】

【Dark Fairies can reveal things we can also do, just the forr speaking at Erald Court can shield more Knowledge Poison. Besides that, what other high-value intelligence? I thought of helping awaken the Fairy Queen, letting that confused queen regain status early】

【If Lilith awakens, can ask her about magic mystery knowledge, possibly helping Erina】

【Directly ask whether 8th strongest magic exists, simply find it. Your Majesty Queen, you're a treasury】

【What if unable to awaken】

【As once-in-ten-thousand-years fairy affinity holder, World Tree blessed one, bringing Manjusaka and Hyacinth—wouldn't that earn favor? Even could contact tree source for massive magic enhancent, completely prying open strongest paths. With their original performance talent, early germination wouldn't be stronger? Plus Erald Court environnts could provide more contamination-avoiding techniques—many benefits】

【Could also ask relic knowledge, helping Holy Relics along the way】

Dizzying suggestions made Hibiscus temporarily pause discussion to carefully browse once, morizing thoroughly. Currently fairy credibility was quite high.

Correct.

So far they'd been very reliable, especially in repairing spatial barriers and intercepting Dark Fairies with great rit. Without fairy knights, recovery battles would likely have been more disaster than fortune.

Originally Hibiscus planned using prisoner interrogation pretexts to intervene in World Tree—might as well get involved. Value exceeded imagination. But would Erald Court answer all questions? Key was interests and contributions.

Netizens hadn't ntioned how to awaken Fairy Queens early—this belonged to plot blanks, could only be discussed then.

Originally impulsive proposals to Edwina and Julius beca important matters, shouldering considerable tasks unexpectedly. Should be careful—if she and Jin Ruochu left, remaining people must guard ho base.

Hyacinth: "Thanks everyone, I know what to do now. Incidentally asking, do higher-tier Disaster Beasts exist above catastrophic levels?"

She needed clear understanding for peace of mind.

【Yes】

【But they generally operate in Disaster Beast world holand—a realm filled with contamination. Casual investigation triggers reverse curses】

【Called Disasters, unknown for years due to powerful contamination plus world separation】

【Actually so fairies don't understand well, so Edwina telling you just knowing Great Disaster Beast existence was remarkable—indeed correct. Beings silent for eras are terrifying, certain individuals are our so-called Phantom Gods. Though joking, strength is guaranteed—world ceiling levels】

【They're not ugly like subordinates—they have looks】

【In Magic Girl of Light looks equal strength. Great Disasters are most handso—everyone's so-called manual Phantom Gods just want experiences】

【Let use them】

Soon began derailnt Hibiscus couldn't bear watching. But currently known information sufficed, just one remaining question. Strictly speaking, not really problems, just wanting to ask opinions.

Would Holy City Association really smoothly exit stages? Everything displayed was too open-minded.

King's fall was quite regrettable for everyone.

Pope inheriting his will to gradually withdraw from various factions was also correct—otherwise Snow Maiden wouldn't have handed over Antarctic relic treasury coordinates.

However, according to Hibiscus's knowledge, so Ancient Holy Relics still held opposing attitudes, believing they should compete head-on with Church, at least not ceding territory—anyway quite radical. Like Demon, powerful spellcaster with deep qualifications. Plus Poet, far exceeding Quincy's word spirits...

They awakened from slumber, hurrying to join catastrophic battles, then you say winning ant organizational concessions?

Who would accept that?

Concerned Hibiscus asked finally: "According to Church understanding, considerable Association mbers hold radical opinions, plus after obtaining Dark Fairy molts are working to solve self-contamination. Might dangers exist?"

Ambitious people always existed—question was whether you had ability suppressing them.

【From original perspective: unknown】

【Most Holy Relics then died at Fallen Zone Center, nearly trading one-for-one with Intelligent Subspecies, completely vitality-damaged. Though we all feel sorry Managent Bureau lost much fresh blood, rationally speaking Ancient Holy Relic sacrifices far exceeded Magical Girls—naturally lacking ability to cause trouble. Now they still retain so living forces—hard to say】

【Character and personality-wise Pope is trustworthy, but may not have ability to convince masses. From simulation worldline perspective, high probability Holy City Association faces a period of division】

【Whether they'll explode with everyone? I think Church can handle it sufficiently—no need to show hostility first and startle snakes. Let them play by themselves, we wait】

【My answer is dangers will exist, but Holy City Association will internally digest part of it. Who cares】

【Mid-period version afterward, Holy Relics basically eliminated most—serving as leveling experience packs for similarly-capable Magical Girls should work】

【What tier dares share levels with 】

【Revolving around Ring of Levitation will definitely cause incidents—specifics need observation】

【From power transition perspective, Salvation Church and Holy City Association counted as peaceful handover. Overall trends unchanged—occasional small resistance won't shake conclusions. Even in world public opinion, Magical Girls already hold hegemony】

..izens had little interest in Association, at most considering Sleeping Beauty sowhat valuable. Besides breakthrough-level existences, they didn't care—standards very strict.

Mid-period hero units retiring from versions was aningless, plus they always stood with Magical Girls.

So suggested absorbing so codena Holy Relics into Managent Bureau without frontline deploynt, giving them retirent destinations.

Or continue maintaining ignorance.

Or complete extermination.

Varied opinions montarily lacked suitable suggestions for Hibiscus, but she already had judgnts. Currently wasn't ti to stimulate Association nerves—peaceful coexistence sufficed. Just suspecting dangers—if Pope handled it himself, fine. No need to spend effort.

This intelligence exchange ended with her gratitude before cutting contact.

The silver-haired girl stretched, ntal power conducting comprehensive self-scans—unhard, not triggering Knowledge Poison restrictions ant no high-value information.

"Forget it. Just confirming subsequent reference value is limited—not bad. Still ultimately depends on my actions. Rare rest opportunity—going to World Tree Realm injured wouldn't be proper either."

"Next node events unclear—strengthening Church overall power most suitable."

Hibiscus thought they could conduct another group training, using Fruition Stage abilities plus fairy assistance would definitely surpass previous attempts.

Beep!

anwhile restless system issued belated suggestion extraction, basically generating from recent information. Its chanisms also reflected upcoming events' fortune levels.

[Suggestion "Conduct Church Group Training" Reward: Group Magic Resonance Level Improvent, Revival Resonance Related Knowledge]

Rarely giving knowledge again—should be previous era thods for joint magic advancent. No longer exclusive to old era artifacts, henceforth Salvation Church had their own thods.

[Suggestion "Visit World Tree Realm" Reward: Large Enhancent Potion ×1, dium Origin Advancent Stone ×1]

[Suggestion "Attempt Awakening Fairy Queen" Reward: dium Magic Advancent Stone ×1, Large Health Recovery Potion ×1, Large Mana Recovery Potion ×1]

Attempt without guaranteeing success?

Previously no similar suggestion formats appeared—perhaps subsequent extended rewards existed. Actually Hibiscus currently didn't know how to awaken. World Tree not reached, Erald Court not entered, never seen Fairy Queen—what plans? Besides, opponents belonged to world ceiling levels with personal considerations, probably not injured comas but active hibernation preparing sothing...

No more questions needed—fairies would tell guests then.

Maximum value lay in judging from reward levels—basically no dangers, Erald Court situation normal. Though divided factions existed, fairy holand counted as united.

Bang bang!

Suddenly knocking sounded. As Hibiscus replied "Please enter," Dandelion walked in smiling.

She used keys to open doors. Though Jin Ruochu and Jin Yulu also had them, this one was most skilled with aging locks, imdiately turning them open.

"Not seeing you at Hermit Island, I knew you'd co ho. Good news here: rights bill supplentary clauses signed and completed." But she changed topics: "Bad news—Pope didn't consolidate internal opinions, basically using Church's influence to act first then report to opposition factions."

"Don't worry. Holy Relics will handle it themselves, or we'll help."

Hibiscus had just figured it out.

"Speaking of which, did you use Ti Prophecy again? Are you okay?" The anxious black-haired girl sat beside the sofa. At this distance, even without ntal detection she could know injury conditions—absolutely wouldn't allow companions hiding anything.

"Relax, everything went smoothly. This period has no major events—enjoy rare rest...except so training, should be no different from vacation."

"That's good. Honestly I've been scared."

If Catastrophic Disaster Beasts couldn't be stopped, doomsday would definitely arrive, and everyone would face it first.

Dandelion feared death, but more feared Hibiscus at the front departing first—she'd definitely be heartbroken, tornt exceeding death. But she keenly noticed slight worry in her childhood friend's brows, obviously ti magic still glimpsed certain information.

"Existences above catastrophic levels exist, right?" Suddenly Dandelion spoke pointedly. "The Great Disasters fairies ntioned must be much stronger than Mantle."

She lay in the embrace beside the sofa, like a cat expressing unease.
