Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

In her eyes, there is no essential difference between humans and these animal lolis; it's just that humans currently produce more emotions, while animals, once they possess human-level intelligence, will eventually become like humans.

“Michelle…”

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing..."

After thinking about it, I swallowed what I was about to say.

Now is not the time to dampen this girl's enthusiasm, and it would be unfair to ask the "goddess" to think from a human perspective. She is not only the creator of humankind, but also of animals.

"Michelle, the mind network has exploded. Shouldn't you go and calm things down?"

Seruno started having Michelle appear on the mind network again.

"Panic is still an emotion! I definitely received it!"

As Michelle said this, Seruno carried her away.

Although there is no need to worry about supplies in the virtual world, Michelle does not intend to let people develop the habit of being fed by gods. Therefore, even in the new world, if you want food, you have to grow it yourself. The natural disasters that exist on Earth also exist, and there are even hungry wild animal loli who will come to rob you.

Fortunately, the city's infrastructure is readily available, so there's no shortage of food...

This new world is certainly not an ideal place, and social stability still requires people's efforts.

"Don't you want to turn people into domesticated livestock, producing emotions...?"

Although Michelle said that, in reality, humans are God's livestock.

Whether it's the Earth Crystal or a great will, everything depends on the emotions generated by life, not only in the present world but also on the Earth itself...

"Your thinking is quite pessimistic."

Aldebaran seemed to see through my thoughts and corrected me, saying, "Gods are insignificant to humans, especially those gods like Earth Crystal that are almost imperceptible. Are you going to commit suicide just to prevent a god from taking advantage of you? So-called gods are nothing more than organs or even cells of a higher existence, aren't they?"

"I understand what you're saying, but it still makes me feel powerless."

"So the Earth Crystal's approach to governance does have some merit, doesn't it?"

She stood up and stretched as she spoke.

"Now that everything is resolved, I'm going back to the Second Research Institute."

There's still a huge mess to clean up right now...

Does your research institute still exist?

"Of course, my research institute is an independent little world!"

She turned and disappeared.

They also took Azura and the Great Blood, leaving Mono rolling around on the sofa, occasionally kicking me a couple of times.

"Everything's been resolved, so why aren't you happy at all?" she asked.

Has the matter really been resolved?

"if not?"

As Mono spoke, he suddenly sat up and looked at me.

"Miluno, why are you glowing?"

A radiance, seemingly from nowhere, surged into my heart without warning.

"This is……"

Clearly, the brilliance of a great will that Michelle had been keeping hidden was revealed.

This was also a backup plan left by Michelle.

Having previously absorbed the black version of myself, the volume of light and darkness within my Great Will was already very close. Coupled with the brilliance of the Earth Crystal, the overall balance had already been broken.

The annihilation did not occur because the Earth Crystal and the Great Will are currently separated, although they are only separated by a room, which is considered a safe distance.

But this means that Seruno and I can no longer maintain our combined state.

"Miluno! The power has been transferred?"

Seruno carried Michelle back again.

I do feel that Michelle and I are switching places.

"Hehe, you'd never guess how I did it!"

Even as Serino held her, Michelle managed a forced smile.

"However, Michelle can't answer that for you either!"

"Serno, stop it quickly—"

However, Michelle brought the Morning Star Crystal to its fullest potential.

Before I could finish speaking, he disappeared on his own...

They also left behind a mess in the New World.

Chapter 487 The Sleeping One

(Cerunno)

Michelle disappeared again, from the crook of my arm.

To be precise, she used the magic of the Morning Star Crystal to instantly rewind to the time before she absorbed her parents. However, the Black Rabbit's soul had already been released, so it was equivalent to exchanging her own existence for a proxy...

This process is completed in an instant, at least from our perspective.

In Milno's words, it was "suicide," but she was all smiles until she committed suicide, which didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

"She did it anyway."

Miluno didn't seem surprised, just annoyed.

“I knew she would take action sooner or later, but I didn’t expect her to be so impatient… It’s my fault, I should have forced her to hand over the Morning Star Crystal… That girl is incredibly stubborn.”

Miluno looked very sad, after all, she was half Michelle's mother.

Her daughter's suicide must have been a huge blow to her.

"Don't worry, at least she left this behind, there's still room for reconciliation..."

I tried to calm her down.

As the key to manipulating time, the Morning Star Crystal inexplicably fell to the ground and was not taken back to the past by Michelle.

"Since she's already been pulled back, why don't we just pull her back again?"

Even after I said that, Miluno still shook her head.

"The power of the Morning Star Crystal does not include fast-forwarding to the future... because the future is uncertain, and once you are pulled back, there is no way you can be pulled back."

As Miluno spoke, her eyes still sparkled with a lively light, but her brows were furrowed.

Becoming the dominant consciousness of a great will means receiving a constant stream of information and emotions from all over the world and making corresponding adjustments, which seems very troubling to Miluno.

After all, she never had the idea of ​​becoming a god. Being forced to sit on the throne of a god who controls the direction of the world, Miluno's sense of responsibility will definitely make her want to do things well, but she will still have shortcomings in terms of ability...

"Should we have them come and help with the management?" I asked.

"Not for now. That girl has set up a very intuitive management backend. I don't need to operate much. It's a semi-automatic deity management system... But the fact that she's so well-prepared means she planned this all along, which is why I feel uncomfortable and like I've been deceived."

"I didn't expect that her clinginess to us was just an act."

"No, that's not an illusion."

Miluno shook her head, her face full of worry.

"It's true that they're close to us, but it's also true that they want to revive the agent..."

"So, where is the agent?"

The all-knowing and all-powerful Miluno blinked.

"...in the zodiac, in the core chamber."

------

Even in the new world, some things remain unchanged.

Besides Aldebaran's second research institute, there's that pale satellite hanging in the sky.

In search of an agent, Milno and I returned to the largest man-made space station in history, which had not yet been excavated.

“Get up where you fall down… She seems confused. Let’s go get her first, then we can discuss how to bring Michelle back… You said you had a way, right?”

I'm not very confident; there's still too little time.

Miss Terra... The proposed solution from the collective consciousness is equivalent to dispersing and storing Michelle's consciousness in the consciousness of everyone in the world, and using people's faith to recreate a new god.

To use a suitable analogy, it's probably similar to BT downloading?

Therefore, whether you can download the complete Michelle app depends on luck.

Therefore, we hope that she can make her presence felt in front of people as much as possible, whether it's a good impression or a bad impression. Michelle must make more people remember her.

Otherwise, this novel form of "resurrection" would be impossible. But her disappearance was too abrupt; she abandoned the task as soon as the new world was created, making the already uncertain outcome even more unpredictable...

However, it's not time to give up without even trying.

Even now, Miss Terra is giving it her all.

"It's a terrible situation in every sense of the word."

In the pitch-black environment, only the halo above Milno's head could be seen.

The zodiac, buried beneath the moon, has not only lost its energy and power, but also its air and temperature, so navigating it requires my bubble magic.

The coordinates of the new world are still off, and Milno, who is still not familiar with the gods, was unable to directly reach the core chamber through the teleportation channel she opened.

It's not far, just above the subway station in the core area.

"She's awake and wandering around underground."

Milno could sense the agent's current condition, but I felt uneasy about making contact.

"Miluno, how should we greet her? And how should we tell her the truth?"
