What is the Salvation Church?
In the original storyline, it's an organization established by Magical Girl Hyacinth under the activity na "Ti Priestess," dedicated to cultivating more Magical Girls and placing them as high-end talent in various official positions, gradually growing into an international interest group—a true deep state, shadow cabinet, ultimately preparing to purge humanity and complete species replacent.
Actually, in the later period, the invincible Hyacinth had already led the Salvation Church to rule the world, and before the final battle with Manjusaka, had already eliminated a portion of humanity.
Although most were hopelessly infected, her kill count still ranked among the highest in history.
What does it matter to if it didn't happen in the new tiline?
Hibiscus had impulsively established the Salvation Church verbally and made it famous in the new world, so she was quite concerned about everyone's specific reactions. But after looking at the news, her vision imdiately went dark:
"Civilian organizations claiming to represent the Salvation Church have appeared, currently numbering 27 according to incomplete statistics, expanding rapidly."
"A certain celebrity claims to have always had connections with this organization."
"Officials have debunked rumors of any relationship with them."
"The World Disaster Beast Counterasure Organization expresses sincere greetings to the Salvation Church and thanks Miss Lyra for her outstanding contribution this ti..."
Riding the wave was expected, but she hadn't anticipated such rapid spread, directly entering the field of view of international power organizations. Fa had been achieved—achieved too much. Honestly, Hibiscus's intention was to create a facade to avoid being seen as weak and isolated, causing small sches, just bluffing to intimidate. But it seed her performance had raised the organization's ceiling, making people believe the Salvation Church was full of experts with just a few words.
You don't think there are many people as strong as , do you?
Hibiscus had unintentionally planted willows that grew into shade. Her impressive combat record made people believe in the Salvation Church without doubt—or rather, everyone preferred to believe a large organization was lurking.
On second thought, the task of creating a brand to intimidate people had been completed beyond expectations—this should count as good news. Plans never keep up with changes. Having once been indifferent to managing influence, she urgently needed a banner now. This matter had to be taken seriously.
So be it.
Hibiscus had originally planned to establish an organization to unite Magical Girls anyway. Having people help with publicity was best.
On the other hand, "Miss Lyra" seed even more famous than the organization.
Besides Pasha, who worked the full battle with distinguished service, she was undoubtedly the second star, especially the miracle perford before the entire world—actually making an entire area sluggish. Now various professional analyses had basically figured it out and were even openly broadcasting:
If it were simply "biological sluggishness," that would be one thing, but the terrifying aspect was that ocean currents, waves, and wind forces were all observed moving slowly at the ti, affecting all reality.
The analysts didn't dare draw conclusions but were good at summarizing. On television, they indicated a spherical space with a 100-ter diater where, according to research, everything inside had slowed down—not the low-grade stuff like body stiffness or ntal sluggishness, but actual changes to normal movent patterns. Relatively, only the caster herself was unhard and even accelerated, and this sphere maintained movent centered on her.
Well, thank you very much.
Hibiscus hadn't yet figured out "whether flow rate relative changes would alter with her own movent," but they had already analyzed it.
Although they weren't clear on details like adjustable multipliers, range expansion, or localized effects, they were broadly correct, even inspiring the magic user herself.
At this rate, won't the whole world know about my ti magic?
Hibiscus rembered netizens ntioning a work where the protagonist could pause ti for 5 seconds but was repeatedly outmaneuvered because it was a worldview emphasizing information warfare—even if you could pause ti, once the chanism was exposed, you could hardly escape being countered. Sothing called Bizarre Adventure...
Thinking carefully, she probably didn't need to worry too much.
Magical Girls didn't rely solely on miraculous power—there were also Regalia and Origin. So strong individuals could dominate regions with just one of these two elents being outstanding enough.
Besides, Hibiscus's five-dinsional attributes were far superior to those of the sa level due to system point allocation and upgrades. Even revealing part of her magic chanisms wouldn't affect her strength. Many cutting-edge weapons openly published so data, which didn't prevent the great powers behind them from maintaining military hegemony. Advantages holders releasing so intelligence could itself intimidate and reduce trouble.
Just like the television analysis viewpoint now: "So you believe this phenonon is essentially changing movent?"
"There's another hypothesis about ti adjustnt, with evidence being obvious fra drops in footage and observers recalling mory haziness."
"...Too incredible."
"The true secret of the sluggishness phenonon is known only to Miss Lyra. We're just mortals catching a glimpse of miracles."
"How do you view the Salvation Church?"
"Whatever it wants to do is probably quite easy—money, power, and honor are like taking sothing from a bag. We're fortunate this extraordinary organization currently has a friendly attitude. There's no need to investigate lest it cause unpleasantness. Let's maintain current relations for now..."
Mainstream dia indirectly revealed part of the official attitude. Obviously, no one was willing to antagonize Hibiscus. Although no organization was monolithic, this was enough.
She currently had no intention of dominating the world—less trouble would be satisfying.
The topic of superpowers ended there. Most voices were more concerned with disaster reconstruction situations.
This swarm Disaster Beast event affected three countries. Although the main battlefield was at sea, the actual impact range was quite large, a once-in-twenty-years level. Based on past experience, it would have evolved into Disaster Beasts landing to build bases for continuous infection, with humans fighting a prolonged war. In the worst case, they'd evacuate populations and deploy nuclear weapons, and even then couldn't guarantee killing the Boss Disaster Beast—destined to be a catastrophe.
Fortunately, it didn't happen.
Twenty years later, human technology had advanced further, plus the seasoned all-around commander Pasha's coordination, combined with Hibiscus's assistance for successful subjugation—news enough to lift spirits.
Since things had concluded, she naturally had ti to answer calls and report safety.
Jin Ruochu was excited to the point of incoherence throughout, speaking only words of admiration. After listening to a bunch of nonsense, she finally managed to hang up with great difficulty.
Nan Zhiyi didn't disappoint expectations—her actions were bolder than anticipated. She specifically waited until physical assets in disaster areas dropped to their lowest point before trading, fighting frantically in the stock market while the military was in mortal danger. She didn't trust officials at all, but firmly believed everything would improve once Hyacinth launched an attack.
All in, a complete gamble.
This bold bet leveraged 30x margin with compound interest. The previously unknown small Five-Color Narcissus Company suddenly controlled over nine figures in assets, earning handsoly.
Hibiscus had to admit Nan Zhiyi understood the stock market—confidence was most important, and her confidence was in herself. The Magical Girl money-making thod had been figured out. This ti accumulated experience, with many future opportunities to earn more.
Beep! Suddenly, a system sound echoed in her mind.
The belated prompt for completing "I Insist on Interfering—Resolve Swarm Disaster Beast Event" suggested issuing rewards.
