Huh?
Learning the comnts' assertions about Anemone's psychological state, Hibiscus was slightly stunned.
Thinking carefully, if she herself were to eternally cross years alone, it would indeed be called tornt. Putting herself in those shoes, wouldn't soone like Miss Puppet being forever trapped in repetition be like a prison?
According to Kale, who belonged to the sa rare self-summoning category, there was a probability of abandoning the body to beco completely summoned creatures, greatly improving survival chances...
But she considered this chronic suicide. Even in the magic-scarce era a hundred years ago, she'd resisted the temptation.
Anemone becoming summoned to cope with the Great Catastrophe was indeed normal.
This required enormous determination.
Hibiscus could imagine that the eternally unchanging strongest summoning type in the fairies' mouths perhaps carried a hint of irony. Choosing this path ant enduring tornt—perhaps she'd already tried several tis to bring more people through doomsday, yet failed without exception.
As she pondered details, the comnt section quickly shifted to another style:
【Wait, if Anemone has self-destructive tendencies, how do we judge the original Peony VS Anemone battle? The gold content dropped】
【The strongest Magical Girl in history wouldn't lose that fast】
【Now you're overturning cases here? Speculative possibilities shouldn't be references. That battle was two strongest beings fighting with their lives to determine superiority and life-death—this point is indisputable】
【That segnt was still too poor. If it had OP's style special effects bombardnt, there'd be no need to debate】
【Bla Anemone fans for not accepting it】
【It's Peony's battle record being inflated】
【Direct control skills have weak effects on World Serpent. Wasn't the whole fight controlling herself to battle? That's insufficient compatibility. Between two strongest, they didn't fully display their respective specialties—unfortunate】
【Compatibility is part of the Magic Girl of Light. If you don't like it, don't play. The parties involved haven't said anything—why do you need to defend?】
【According to Second Bureau Chief's words: Battlefields must calmly accept all possibilities】
【Why not introduce another variable? Back then it wasn't complete single combat, but complex chaotic battle with three Magical Girl groups fighting each other. Who took how much damage, who dealt how much output—simply can't discuss results, so you've argued until today】
【Annoying or not】
Even good-tempered Hibiscus had to block for a while, finally correcting the discussion back on track. Otherwise letting argunts continue provided no effective information.
She'd already gotten so intelligence, at least proving the other side weren't villains.
If Obelisk were purely evil organizations, then indeed they wouldn't see eye to eye. But both sides had one consensus:
Helping Magical Girls survive the Great Catastrophe.
Though from Anemone and others' actions, they completely disregarded ordinary people, but this degree of disagreent didn't matter. Unfortunately, both sides might still inevitably fight, after all Hibiscus likewise didn't want premature excessive provocation of Disaster Beasts.
Whether the Ark relic could survive doomsday? She wasn't interested in this point, also based on netizens' principle: no performance ant assuming it couldn't be done.
【Obviously Salvation Church and Managent Bureau together calculated against Obelisk, because their hunting in the Disaster Beast world also made ho coordinates rapidly positioned. Not stopping this behavior accelerates destruction】
【As everyone knows, when Miss Puppet insists on sothing, she absolutely won't give up, just like she keeps trying to bring more people to the next era, yet all failed】
【Failure is one thing, but also losing mories and continuing to seek compatriots, endlessly】
【Like Sisyphus pushing the boulder, knowing everything will return to the starting point and be destroyed, yet still giving full effort】
【Too tragic】
【Not necessarily that miserable. For Miss Puppet, this counts as feeling life's warmth. If she didn't push the boulder up the mountain again and again, she'd probably be dead long ago. Hard to kill, but the mont her heart dies, magic would collapse, no longer belonging to a lifeless shell】
【Regardless, can't keep pretending Obelisk doesn't exist】
【I have a speculation: Catastrophic Disaster Beasts will co much earlier than imagined. Don't forget Anemone is causing trouble there, plus Dark Fairies' urging】
【Put yourself in their shoes—you've been attacked at ho, your allies are egging you to act quickly. What reason is there to continue lying low? After that, World Tree will truly beco the main battlefield】
【Disaster Beasts corresponding to Withering Stage? Wouldn't that be output that washes the surface clean? What special effects would be worthy?】
【Probably won't be that severe】
【@Hyacinth, when Magical Girl Peony can move, use Thousand-Li Viewing Mirror to cooperate in clearing spatial traces to avoid being tracked】
Hibiscus naturally agreed. This was also a line of thinking—having the strongest spatial type cooperate with related relics to erase traces should delay things for a while. At least buy ti for the Salvation Church to settle down stably; everyone needed rest.
She also needed to carefully polish the two elents she already had.
Of course, she should incidentally probe Obelisk's activities from the periphery. After all, there was no reason for them to repeatedly cause trouble yet stay outside of it all. Nice try.
Currently Planet Gaia's world limit was still at Fruition Stage. This stage was their advantage—perfect timing for investigation.
Two strongest magics shouldn't be missed.
Before this, Hibiscus thought she should at least understand Sands of Ti's mystery stage.
She rarely felt bottlenecks so clearly. There was a layer of shackles—probably the ti system's strongest magic's highest stage wasn't so easy. Even with so ideas, sufficient magic power accumulation was needed, otherwise inadequate for displaying ideal abilities...
Hibiscus asked: "I've completed two elents, stuck on magic. I guess Sands of Ti's Withering Stage can regionally pause, right?"
However, the comnt section quickly showed strings of shocked expressions and exclamation marks, obviously Hyacinth's ntioned bottleneck was rocket-speed for everyone, clearly not long since Fruition Stage.
【Got it, all-elent gold content—the later stages, the faster】
【Various factors stacking to rapidly refresh magic power limits is correct, but you chasing pressed against the ceiling is more ridiculous】
【Chasing? Already broke through. That Fallen Zone ti already counted as exceeding limits, not to ntion Zodiac Palace ca with another big wave. Now magic power concentration is quite high, enough to support Fruition Stage output】
【Two elents also ans stable. Reaching Withering Stage no problem. Actually this step stumped over ninety percent of Magical Girls, but not difficult for Boss Mu】
【You've already witnessed it. Right, just the video records we sent before】
【Full circle】
【Sands of Ti gets more late-ga, the more it uses flowing sand representing temporal power as carriers. You should have noticed, and precise manipulation of it enables regional pausing, just like when the priest tore apart the moon. As long as pausing is precise enough, it can leverage small force for great effect—very destructive】
【In so sense, that's the true first attack thod. Of course it's indeed not a skill—key is how you use it】
Facts proved she'd guessed correctly.
Hibiscus had long realized this magic's essence lay in manipulating temporal power's sand grains. For instance, aggregating into lines to interfere with objects was temporal slashing, then temporal cross-sections, while slices essentially used fine sand to wash over oneself and preserve a certain mont...
Fundantally it tested the user's precise utilization level.
Magic developnt was very ntally taxing, yet output capability wasn't outstanding. Often had to rely on the other two major elents for combat.
No wonder fairies said this generation's strongest ti type was special. Logically it shouldn't be Sands of Ti.
But they sincerely expressed admiration. Exploring such difficult magic to unprecedented heights was indeed impressive. Admittedly, there might have been Withering Stage Sands of Ti in history, but skill routes would definitely be unrecognizable, worlds apart from today's logically tight, step-by-step abilities in Hyacinth's hands.
This was planning.
So far Hibiscus's developnt strictly followed patterns—traceable, interlocking, which was why she could burst with extraordinary might at high stages.
She continued: "Thanks everyone for the reminder. I understand. I'll try in that direction."
After opening up her thinking, everything beca clear.
【Not just that, many magics at highest stages have conceptual characteristics. Actually you've witnessed it—permanent effects are a kind of conceptual bestowal, like Hermit Island being given constant wind and unreachable by sea, corresponding to Concealing Wind and Tranquil Water】
【Withering Stage elental types can even bestow phenonal distortion based on users' thoughts】
【Damn, now that you ntion it, I suddenly thought: if Tulip gave Mars a planetary magnetic field, wouldn't that be habitable transformation, directly becoming a second ho?】
【Miss Illiterate might be able to do it, but needs certain knowledge. With knowledge she might not be able to... hard to say. Our Magical Girl Tulip is like this】
【Tulip: This isn't funny】
【Similarly, Sands of Ti's long-lasting effects can make an area permanently reside in spaceti turbulence—more terrifying than nuclear radiation washing】
【Not wrong either. The priest and Manjusaka's battle aftereffects proved planets couldn't withstand it. But they also counted among Withering Stage's most top-tier, even exceeding limits. Reference value isn't great】
【@Hyacinth, just work toward regional pausing】
【Incidentally communicate with Holy City Association people, get Ring of Levitation sorted—at least it's one combat power, plus has outer space advantages. After that let them push versions, though there might also be so intelligence—all depends on your decision】
Hibiscus readily agreed. In her eyes, no force could be abandoned.
Could be useful.
The forr world's number one organization still preserved large amounts of mid-tier combat power, could share burdens slightly—worth a trip.
People were valuable for self-awareness. Precisely because Pope tried to withdraw would she court them. Conversely, if they continued acting arrogant, then let them be destroyed.
The Association with hardliner influence removed was sufficient to handle things independently.
Additionally, this round's larger number of critical fairies descending also counted as supplental combat power. They'd always researched world barrier breakthrough technology—perhaps given ti Orseya and other powerhouses could help.
More and more cards in hand made enemy cards seem unclear. So far the Church hadn't figured out catastrophes' specific movents.
Hibiscus asked: "Any detailed intelligence on catastrophes? I need references."
Before her words finished, videos already appeared in comnts.
The scene showed Grayfire from their brief encounter—turns out this guy wasn't always a black mass but could beco a giant wolf. The battle scene seed to be attacking World Tree, already breaking through barriers, overwhelming destructive energy even subrging fairies. Powerful origin was enough to support its squandering power, unstoppable charge—those aftereffects probably enough to cover planetary surfaces.
Not just it.
She actually saw familiar faces: similar to Aurora and Mantle forms, but specific colors and sizes didn't match, equally terrifying enough to make people tremble.
No wonder Disaster Beasts always maintained habits of devouring their kind—because that was originally the process of bloodlines converging upward, in so sense a unique strengthening path.
So these Catastrophic Disaster Beasts all had higher-tier catastrophes!
There were also unfamiliar faces. A bone deer walked out from battlefield corners, origin projection spanning thousands of miles, antlers hung with corpses like wind chis swaying. Those hollow eye sockets seed to project gazes piercing spaceti, soul-stirring.
Phantom—simple annotation didn't affect its terror at all. The bone deer charged straight at World Tree, shaking all directions.
Each more insane than the last.
Catastrophes compared to Catastrophic had more power, less reason—simply absolute battle machines.
Facing fairy firepower, they didn't dodge but charged head-on. Both sides fought until heaven and earth darkened—the cruelest battlefield at grinder mode.
That rich destructive desire was nauseating because it discriminated against no targets—both self and enemies should be destroyed together. For insane Disaster Beasts, attacking itself had aning, and they should have been influenced by sothing, making them so troubleso.
【Situation is what it is. In late stages all Disaster Beasts will be controlled by Great Catastrophe and beco berserk, completely no state weakening—very troubleso】
【I'm convinced by these guys' chanisms, just ridiculous】
【By current trends, this timing will co early】
【Why?】
【Progress too fast in all aspects, especially Planet Gaia constantly causing magic power revival will eventually draw out real Great Disaster Beasts】
【But that guy's brain doesn't work well. When fighting it just keeps urging, so everyone jokes "hand-operated Great Disaster Beast" strength guarantee. Whether it, Phantom, or Grayfire all belong to rare looks and strength combined】
【@Hyacinth, actually discussing catastrophes now doesn't an much. When you have more ons there, we'll talk. Estimate it's not long either】
【Referring to imminent doomsday】
After thanking everyone, Hibiscus temporarily closed communications, leaning back in her chair with a long sigh.
Though all bad news, life had to look forward. What was worth celebrating was the suggestions just now indeed ford related tasks, enough to let her magic power advance further.
[Suggestion "Repair Ring Of Levitation Holy Relic" Reward: Magic Advancent Stone ×1]
[Suggestion "Investigate Obelisk" Reward: 500 Free Attribute Points]
She'd never seen complete advancent stones given directly before—always stingily only rewarding fragnts. Today, finally generous once. Of course, task difficulty wasn't low. The possibility of healing Sleeping Beauty was this long accumulation finally gaining a trace of probability.
As for investigating Anemone's forces, definitely full of dangers.
Regardless, ti to act. Use this to open elents toward the Withering Stage, also gain qualifications to face history's strongest Magical Girl.
