The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Feeling his earnest gaze filled with high hopes, Huo couldn't bear to shatter Xiao Mi's expectations any longer. "It's possible..." But Huo was still worried about something, and his tone was hesitant, "...Are there many humans nearby?"

Actually, Xiaomi was also conflicted. Should she wait for the training officer to return so that if a major incident occurred, she could use her absolute power to deter and easily resolve it?

But in reality, 3.6 seconds is equivalent to one hour in the Accelerated World. By the time Seul-yu finds the trainer, who knows how much time will have passed in the Accelerated World.

Once the restricted area expands to a radius of 100 kilometers, it is very likely that even the territory of some legions will be encroached upon. At that time, it is unknown how many people will be plunged into an irrecoverable crisis.

Therefore, Xiaomi could not stand idly by, and given the potential for disaster, Xiaomi came up with what it considered a win-win solution.

"Perhaps there will still be many people gathered around there... but it's okay! Although I've done many bad things, my teacher said that a good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them."

Xiaomi's values ​​seem to have always been instilled by its so-called teachers, and even after going through the cycle of reincarnation with Black Sheep, they haven't changed much.

"So, if Huo saves a lot of people this time, sincerely admits his mistakes, and promises that this will never happen again, he might be able to get their forgiveness," Xiaomi said confidently.

"Promise...for the future...?"

Huo still worriedly asked, "But, the mission to hunt me down... even if I don't amplify my sins, given their greed, will they listen to my apology?"

"I think so, after all, most people are kind-hearted, right?" Xiaomi clenched her little fist, her expression incredibly firm. "Even if a few people still want to attack Huo, Xiaomi will protect Huo—I won't let Huo get hurt in any way! I swear on my Light Cavalry class!!"

Although he didn't agree with what he said, Huo didn't refute Xiaomi's actions. It's unclear whether it was because he trusted Xiaomi too much or because Huo had other ideas.

So Huo nodded seriously and said, "...Huo understands, Huo will listen to Xiaomi."

Evil Enlarge, a forbidden magical zone, is a forbidden spell carelessly cast by the world's greatest enemy, turning a ten-mile radius into a nightmare land that amplifies the evil within humanity's heart.

Anyone who steps into this place, even if they are human and reach level 9, will gradually have their negative thoughts amplified and turn them into a monster devoid of reason.

Furthermore, this restricted area is expanding outward at a rate of one kilometer per day. While it's true that accelerating the world can destroy terrain, turning an entire region into a restricted area is truly unprecedented.

Ten days have passed since the hunt for the tenth generation of Calamity Armor and the emergence of Calamity in the Unrestricted Neutral Space.

The forbidden area, which had been ten miles long, had now become twenty miles long. The dark light barrier continued to move outwards. Although there was a risk to life, the news that the Armor of Calamity had been left behind spread, and more and more players gathered around it.

Various forces arrived, including the Red King's Earring Legion and Kuroyukihime's Dark Nebula.

These guys all approached Tina, wanting to use her purification field to force their way in and take away the Armor of Calamity, but Tina refused, citing a one-year cooldown period.

Her skills could be cooled down for as long as she wanted! Although Red King and the others didn't believe it at all, they couldn't do anything about Tina.

"This damned forbidden magic... when will it finally disappear?! It's been ten days, and the area has more than doubled in size. This is outrageous!!"

Looking at the still-present black light barrier, one player complained bitterly.

Another guard stationed nearby glared at him and said, "The legion commander ordered us to stay here and keep quiet so no one can hear us!"

"Tch... We've tried everything—underground, aerial—but let alone getting close to the Armor of Calamity, with so many of us, we still haven't even found its location. Are you sure our day and night vigil isn't just a waste of time?"

That person also began to mock without any restraint.

"Hey, who can argue with that?"

The person who had been glaring at him shared the same sentiment. Then, he lowered his head and whispered to him, "...Or, once the forbidden spell barrier disappears, we can rush over and steal the Armor of Calamity. If we succeed, we can just leave the legion, right? With such a huge mission reward, it's enough to raise us to the same combat strength as the legion commander!"

"So you had the same idea... Deal."

"Hey smart guy! ...After all, this is an accelerated world with infinite possibilities, no one wants to be second to anyone, right?"

If the players who have been guarding this place day and night waiting for the forbidden spell to disappear knew that Tina had already taken the Armor of Calamity inside, wouldn't they be so angry that they would vomit blood?

"Hey... this forbidden spell's protective barrier is appearing and disappearing intermittently; it's acting strangely!"

"Sigh! Ten days have passed, is it finally going to disappear?! Even forbidden magic should reach its limit after this long!"

"Wait a moment…!"

Just as the two thought the forbidden spell was about to disappear, dozens of players on either side, unable to contain their greed, rushed into the still-partial forbidden spell's magical domain.

As a result, greed quickly amplified in their hearts, completely taking over their minds. Their first action was neither to rush in to find the Armor of Calamity nor to retreat, but to engage in a fierce battle between their allies.

So, the more than a thousand people who were surrounding the forbidden spell barrier and were restless behind it all cautiously stopped in their tracks. Finally, someone shouted "Above!" and everyone looked up at the sky.

A ghostly figure resembling a young girl floated above the center of the black light barrier. She surveyed the people below, some shocked, others burning with greed, her expression calm. Only her black, misty body continuously emitted a sinister, profound black light.

The black light barrier, covering an area of ​​twenty miles, also had black gas flowing across its surface, resembling countless tadpoles or small black snakes, converging and moving from the bottom to the top of the barrier. To everyone's eyes, the light barrier, symbolizing the forbidden zone's boundary, dimmed at a visible speed.

At the top of the black light shield, continuously absorbing the black energy, lies the ghostly body that shines brightly with the flow of black light—the body of Calamity!

"……disaster?!!"

"It's obvious... a global public enemy, a scourge!!"

"Wow, she actually dared to show her face even with a warrant for her arrest throughout the entire Accelerated World. But... what is she doing? Is she trying to remove the forbidden magic she released?!"

As the black light shield rapidly dimmed, the black light that had clouded the reason in the eyes of the overclockers within the barrier gradually weakened, and one by one they stopped fighting and looked up at the calamity in the sky.

“Although I don’t want to admit it—it seems to be true!” someone exclaimed in surprise.

"No way? Even a public enemy can betray their side?"

"Whether she betrays us or not, as long as this super-high bounty mission remains, she is the enemy of all humanity. Conversely, if it weren't for the mission, even if she used forbidden spells every day, everyone would avoid her to protect themselves. After all, only a fool would risk their life for justice when there's no benefit to be gained..."

"So, hehe, isn't her showing up now... just courting death?"

That incisive truth was quickly buried in the fervent clamor of the crowd, and a few overclockers even launched attacks without any sense of reason.

Whoosh! Bang!

Several arrows imbued with the power of frost, along with a deafening gunshot, rang out simultaneously, silencing the crowd as countless eyes followed the arrows and bullets upwards.

All that could be seen was that arrows and bullets passed through the body of the calamity as if they were passing through smoke, piercing several small holes in the ghost's body, and then instantly fused together perfectly.

"Ordinary physical attacks are indeed useless..." Everyone thought in surprise.

At that moment, a childish voice imbued with superpowers reached almost everyone's ears from afar.

"Everyone, don't attack!! Please listen to me—!!!"

Only the players who were surrounded in the north could see the source of the voice, which turned out to be a... well... since we can't determine the gender, let's just call it a child.

This child is quite capable; the fact that his words, spoken with the power of the blessing, could be heard by everyone proves that.

"Huo will break this forbidden spell! He can save the people inside! Moreover, Huo has sworn never to do anything bad again!! So, I hope everyone can give Huo a chance to reform!!"

Mistin felt that what he was doing was very great, so he was full of energy, and his voice, though young, was very loud.

However, among the players targeting Mistin, some made no attempt to hide their sneer:

"Hahaha, I can't stop laughing... Isn't the purpose of creating a public enemy to be hunted down by overclockers? You want us to give this world-class public enemy a chance to repent?! Hahaha..."

Xiaomi countered with her own theory: "But compared to other public enemies, Huo isn't a bad kid! Besides, Huo has thoughts; Huo is no different from a human being!"

"Oh... so she's a public enemy with her own thoughts? She's finally shown herself. If we don't eliminate her today, who knows how much more trouble we'll have to go through to find her again!"

"Hey!!"

Xiaomi stamped her feet in frustration, "You weren't listening to me at all! Huo will become a good child! And... Huo is currently saving those people trapped in forbidden magic! Huo will continue to be kind like this in the future! I promise!!"

A delinquent girl stepped out of the crowd, her black hair wildly flowing, her face full of mockery. Pointing her long sword at Mistin, she said, "So why should we listen to a little brat like you who hasn't even grown his hair yet?! Do you think this is an elementary school classroom?! Hahahaha!!"

"I……"

Xiaomi had barely uttered a single word when she was silenced by undisguised sarcasm.

"Little guy, it seems you have absolutely no idea what's going on. Who do you think would care about those idiots caught in forbidden magic? What the calamity does, whether it gets better or not, what does it have to do with us? After all, we hunt the calamity not for some bullshit justice... but for the reward we get for killing her!! Hahahaha, you idiot!!!"

I wish someone else were dead...

It's purely for the reward, to satisfy greed, not for any damn justice...

Even though the catastrophe has endured millions of years of suffering and is finally welcoming the day of hope, there are countless greedy people who want to trade her life for enormous profits... who want to kill the catastrophe...

So, why did things turn out this way?

They arrived here with immense and fervent hope, bringing disaster with them, to rid them of this harmful forbidden spell, only to be met with the worst treatment in return...

The cold reality was like a bucket of ice water poured over her head, freezing her up rapidly at absolute zero, leaving Xiao Mi frozen in place like an ice cube.

Hope, along with everything else, was frozen in ice.

Xiaomi finally realized that it was a pipe dream to persuade these greedy guys who were driven to the bone by his own efforts.

The disaster didn't discover the situation on Xiaomi's side, although it was entirely predictable that it wouldn't have needed to be discovered.

Within the protective barrier, the evil black energy was finally completely absorbed by the calamity, and the forbidden magic was also completely eliminated.

Those who survived and those who had just been resurrected, their eyes cleared, they suddenly realized the truth, and then a wave of fear washed over them.

When they learned that the ghosts in the sky were the "culprits" with the unprecedentedly huge bounty in the history of the Accelerated World, the madness that had just faded returned to their eyes.

Even without the influence of the dark energy on their minds, that extreme greed is enough to turn anyone into a demon who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The forbidden spell was just removed.

From the distant sky came the sharp cries of birds, echoing in all directions.

Ten days is enough time for these conspirators to create a weapon to counter this kind of creature.

From all directions in the sky, seven or eight flying enemies enslaved by humans flew in a fan shape, their species and sizes varied, but each carried something in its mouth.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that it is a vast net woven from thousands upon thousands of nanowires, with holes as narrow as pinholes, incredibly strong, and imbued with a sacred aura, radiating a dazzling golden light.

Enchanting is a new technology that has been spreading like a plague across the world for over a year.

Therefore, even though those with Holy Attack Overclocking Link are rare, weapons can still be mass-produced through targeted enchanting.

Birds carrying large nets came flying in, and the moment the forbidden magic disappeared, they surrounded the calamity, scattering golden nets from above.

Clearing one's own forbidden spell will undoubtedly result in a backlash.

Severely injured by the backlash and nearly exhausted, Huo's soul and body were immediately engulfed by a sea of ​​divine energy. Stimulated, they bristled instinctively, letting out sharp cries and frantically trying to escape, but could not break free of the net's reach.

This mournful cry instantly roused Xiao Mi from the cold-blooded indifference of the people. He suddenly remembered that he had something more important to do than anything else.

It's all about protecting her from harm, preventing her from getting hurt again!

Holy Lance Cruise!

"Zheng!"
