Hibiscus imdiately prepares for battle, power belonging exclusively to Withering Stage Magical Girls rapidly rising.
"Seniors just stay put and rest, don't consu early." Suddenly Ruan Manyue shouts: "What teleported aren't catastrophic disasters—at least not now. They're responsible for opening spatial channels—"
"It's a catastrophic level, leave them to us first."
Just as words fade, wisps of shattered traces appear in the sky, peeling out black channels—clearly strange Disaster Beasts of various shapes.
Next mont, Anri Sakagami's rainbow barrier advances, responding with action:
Salvation Church's backbone generation has grown up.
Catastrophic disasters roar, spewing pollution power, but next mont countless book pages flutter in the sky, distributed to everyone—clearly Beatrice's Encyclopedia providing immunity to Knowledge Poison and pollution. In team battles, being with companions allows her to display more abilities.
Healing Rain.
Unicorn purification light!
Support abilities from Stephanie and Joan cover the field. Led by them, Hydrangea's equivalent exchange, Ruan Xinyue distributing Save Points, Yeta's Swift Thunder blessing, Poppy providing magical blessing... dazzling array of powers wash over first, looking colorful and moving Disaster Beasts.
Feeling the silver-haired girl's gaze, Elsa waves: "Boss, now you should reduce consumption. Let us handle the first wave."
With a snap of her fingers, Love and Hate's fratricidal curse already confuses low-level Disaster Beasts. Anyway, ensuring they won't easily beco reserves for higher levels helps greatly.
"Just relying on you?" Gray flas from the other end of the channel roar, commanding charge.
Though Disaster Beasts sowhat fear the powerful auras on Hermit Island, under compulsion they still charge desperately.
Both sides already clash with intimidation across the sky first, rumbling explosions.
For Fruition Stage Magical Girls possessing at least one elent, most important is catastrophic disaster aura actually triggering their own magical reactions, about to breakthrough.
Perfect timing.
Jin Yulu, who usually loves charging frontline, chooses to maintain ditation, simply actively embracing highest-tier Disaster Beast aura to find shackle flaws, perhaps reaching the 11-elent path, then standing together at Withering Stage.
"Good comprehension." Anemone instructs: "All strongest magic holders not yet advanced, feel the aura carefully, quickly!"
Her puppet threads connect several people, transmitting magical reactions.
Jin Ruochu smiles and gives the silver-haired girl a thumbs up, then similarly begins ditating.
"...Hibiscus, won't let you carry this alone. We'll be ready soon." Saying this, Small Universe domain seals Nan Zhiyi, allowing complete imrsion in magical environnt for greater clarity.
"I'll protect you all."
At this mont, fully focused Hibiscus uses ntal power to firmly lock onto the ditating people—no sneak attacks will succeed.
Similarly sensing rare opportunity, Peony and Erina aren't outdone, but as magics with extrely special chanisms, they choose relatively different paths:
Door-Key activates spatial sealing, placing herself in kaleidoscope folding mirrors—dangerous but also containing magical mystery essence.
Dream Painter is even harder to understand. Erina continuously displays various ink traces for the user. Rather than magical cultivation, Erina seems purely exchanging techniques...
Since expert Anemone says nothing, no problem.
Between them, no ti for much exchange—each imrsed in the magical world.
Boom!
Simultaneously, aerial confrontation between Magical Girls and catastrophic Disaster Beasts begins. Terrifying fluctuations spanning the atmosphere sweep outward, back and forth without yielding.
But Hibiscus chooses to trust teammates.
【Wait, the farewell atmosphere was fine just now—how did it suddenly stop? Boss Mu, say so closing words at least】
Unexpectedly, sudden interruption makes comnts increasingly lively, making her sowhat embarrassed. Though knowing the so-called system might be a Knowledge Poison chanism, thoughts exist behind it—indeed shouldn't end hastily.
Perhaps miracles even beyond magic might touch worlds with more information. In idealism, who can say for certain?
"Don't worry everyone, just catastrophic Disaster Beasts trying to invade. Currently catastrophic level as Vanguard."
While replying in text, Hibiscus records a video of the current fierce battle around Hermit Island, using upward angles to restore the grand scene as much as possible:
The image shows torn sky, hollow clouds, reflected sunlight like channels, penetrating ten thousand ters into the atmosphere and ozone layer, faintly distinguishing starry sky.
This is filled with colorful magical energies.
Breathtakingly beautiful.
But beauty ans danger, especially applicable in the magical field: catastrophic Disaster Beasts' power breaks through world barriers, completely unrestricted they can indeed wantonly launch energy breath attacks, shaking thousands of miles.
The great sea churns and boils, hissing steam rising to clouds, followed by continuous shock waves.
The commander should be Gray Fire, famous for attacks. That terrible aura is soul-stirring from afar—no wonder subordinates obey. Compared to Magical Girls, it's more terrifying, simply rushing over wholesale.
The Great Catastrophe's spreading influence isn't negligible either. Ordinary Disaster Beasts have lost reason, only tearing and biting left, spreading out equivalent to recreating Fallen Zones.
Fortunately, causality magic Love and Hate firmly locks hatred values, preventing them from leaving.
Of course other thods exist:
Magical Girl Hollow Bubble, elental type, Tropical Cold Current.
Magical Girl Mirror Grass, elental type, Mountain Building Movent.
Recruiting them during the Los Angeles eting was indeed a good choice. Though not formally trained with average combat talent, they excel in magical performance, sufficient to create ultra-wide containnt environnts preventing Disaster Beast spread. Incidentally harvesting nurous weak individuals—killing two birds with one stone.
The Salvation Church lacks no variety of magic, endless thods. Comparatively, Disaster Beasts seem lacking tricks, but catastrophic level still shows no casualties.
Hibiscus asks incidentally: "Did the original have such early catastrophic invasion phenona? How big a difference?"
She needs to grasp enemy-ally comparison. If several sa-level entities exist behind Gray Fire, must retreat or even risk life as rear guard.
【Familiar face. Indeed Gray Fire attacks about half a year later in the original, but unsuccessfully. Just wandering outside barriers, mainly because fairies dragged them down—World Tree Realm was the main battlefield】
【Very nerve-wracking then】
【Don't look at Hyacinth and Anemone fighting intensely—doesn't actually an Withering Stage completely lifts restrictions. It's their 15 elents too exaggerated, self-contained】
【Moreover, Planet Gaia welcos Magical Girl power but rejects Disaster Beasts. Suppression standard thresholds aren't the sa for both sides】
【No wonder Gray Fire doesn't dare charge up】
【Thresholds also have limits. If letting them continue, world barriers wouldn't exist, so the Church must block attacks. Sa for ordinary Disaster Beasts—don't let those guys keep raising pollution concentration, or definitely catastrophic for all life】
【Actually in the original, just catastrophic disasters passing by worlds brought massive deaths. Don't look casual—actually drove catastrophic level to kill Magical Girls】
【Can't bear it】
【Right, so it beca the pink-haired protagonist's experience pack. Of course, you know people around dying was explained by Jin Ruochu as misfortune's price, determining Magical Girl Manjusaka was watched by bad luck—too painful】
【@Hyacinth, don't let that happen. Right here, right now, resolve the attack】
【Need to specifically ntion this to Boss Mu? Since they ca, make them stay】
【How co we don't see other strongest magic users】
Hibiscus shows footage of several people ditating—sitting cross-legged, each surrounded by massive magical power distorting surrounding vision, appearing magnificent.
Even full-elent advancent Magical Girls feel palpitations, naturally understanding why catastrophic disasters are anxious—they have missions:
Don't allow the strongest magics to assemble.
Especially shouldn't let them reach the Withering Stage, or even thriving Disaster Beasts will have headaches. Because each strongest magic ans differently, representing that series' peak, bearing inconceivable developnt intensity, practicing miracle power hard to shake.
Outside the world, hysterical Gray Fire constantly roars, faintly summoning another catastrophic disaster gradually appearing.
It's entirely white, simply a pair of wings, center a huge eyeball, entire form connected by exposed bulging blood vessels, gaze cold.
The big-eyed monster and Hibiscus exchange glances instantly.
Anyway, there'll be combat opportunities later—no rush for now. Moreover, catastrophic disasters fear Hyacinth and Anemone, two long-famous peak Magical Girls, hoping for early weakening.
"...Situation deteriorating. If one more Withering Stage existed, that would be good. So can everyone's current breakthrough thods work?"
She's already prepared—if worst cos to worst, simply consu all potions to block attackers.
【Definitely works】
【Though it looks strange, everyone in the original had similar cultivation segnts... I'm uncertain about side stories, should be roughly similar. Key is ti—now must race against ti】
【Prepare for most people fighting final battle at 11 elents】
【Actually Anemone's puppet threads transmitting magical information is already cheating, equivalent to resonating with magic holders from other eras, or at least chanisms very similar. Though only instant inspiration, should rapidly improve】
【Soul dialogue with past holders? What classic segnt? Protagonist essential. Atmosphere cos up—definitely final chapter configuration】
【Feel like artist miss will think they're all characters under her brush. As for Tulip, might not understand】
【Villain protagonists are also protagonists. Why can't Boss Mu dialogue with past holders】
【Ti types too few and special. Even Anemone didn't preserve—besides, each user interferes with ti, thus existing independently...】
【Above explanation lacks atmosphere—not what he wanted to hear】
Hibiscus smiles faintly, actively replying:
"You all."
"Dialoguing with you is the greatest miracle Sands of Ti brought , but not only belonging to magic—because we got along well, today's situation exists. I don't appeal to past experience—I must look toward the future. You say ending, then it's dialogue's ending, but the Magical Girl era will continue."
"Perhaps this dialogue is the product of ti magic and other miracles, but everything invested isn't false."
Speaking from the heart makes the silver-haired girl feel unprecedentedly relieved. Clearly just reaching magic's peak, yet showing slight loosening traces—indeed stirring.
Once she doubted the so-called system, harboring misgivings, always carrying a thorn. Now accepting it as part of power, like slowly digesting the most difficult essence peeled away...
【Finally I must still say: she understands too well, succubus Hibiscus】
【Update for life】
【You always say what others most want to hear】
【—Beyond Withering exists. Original Ti Priestess and Manjusaka suspected achieving incomplete state】
【Unfortunately no one knows what it is. Probably magic doesn't emphasize types so much but encompasses everything, trending toward magic's generalized concept】
【Great Disaster Beasts have no weaknesses but do have vital points. Try cutting off its head】
【Though more than one head, Pollution Saint Dragon's recovery there has low cost-effectiveness. Might try grinding down health bar for victory】
【Sudden talk—sounds like never eting again】
【Just treat as farewell. Counts as simulating main thread rules—not allowing too long-term spoilers should also follow "don't break fourth wall too much." Then when White Hyacinth is destined to create brand new worldlines, it should end】
【So regretful】
【Don't mistake the order. From beginning to end, we only revealed information—witnessing was incidental. When all intelligence is given to you, no need to witness anymore, right?】
Hibiscus doesn't quite understand suspected future network logic, unsure if correct—can only naturally answer the ending.
When carefully studying attribute panels, she finds various items breaking ten thousand then blurring, those exchange points also disappearing as if previously emptied, like packing luggage before journeying ahead.
What just interrupted should have been solemn farewell—unfortunately ill-tid.
What's been dialoguing with miracle itself was originally Magical Girl Hyacinth.
【About Fairy Queen secrets, just witness yourself. Remaining human attachnts and backgrounds needn't be elaborated—their emotions you'll have plenty of ti discovering later. Since Boss Mu says ending, part here】
【Bless the destined beautiful worldline, use well everything obtained from us】
【Salvation Church won't wander with empty nas. This ti Magical Girls will truly fulfill promises】
【May save those I couldn't keep, may grasp confessions I missed, may wounds I suffered find healing—】
Boom!
Two top catastrophic Disaster Beasts jointly breathe, shattering one barrier layer—weakened. Simultaneously Gray Fire and Big Eye Monster roar, commanding catastrophic level to swarm up. New attacks imminent, armies pressing.
They sense that special fluctuation about to breakthrough Withering Stage—can't delay anymore, because their own magical resonance similarly stimulates magical potential.
Taking a deep breath, Hibiscus restrains impulse.
Not ti yet.
Not knowing exactly how many catastrophic disasters exist—rashly charging out herself would damage morale instead. Now belongs to Salvation Church's war.
At this mont, all Fruition Stage except the strongest magic users are ready to strike.
