Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

The agent gave these instructions and then left with Aldebaran.

"No, being overly cautious is useless in this situation..."

With the entire room covered in black smoke and mud, even if you're careful, you're bound to come into contact with it, so it's better to just rush down to the bottom in one go.

The counterfeit resists, so the black mud makes a sizzling sound like it's being fried, and the skin naturally feels a stinging sensation.

That wasn't enough to stop me from sprinting downhill.

"This level of pain is something magical girls are already used to."

I ran down the edge of the pit, the black mud getting deeper and deeper. My legs were almost numb. Just as I was about to get to the center, I used all my strength to jump.

I crystallized in mid-air; this form is best suited for manipulating light.

The body releases its inner radiance without reservation, forming a huge, materialized sphere of light that blocks the spring from which black mud gushes forth.

I became a "gag"... no, let's call it a "plug".

In this way, the reality side is safe.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, the darkness that filled the room enveloped me again.

Is it to absorb me?

Consciousness sank into an ocean of chaos, falling endlessly.

“■■■■，■■■，■■■■■。

“■■■■■■，■■■■。

“■■■■，■■■■。

What's going on this time?

A whisper, as if in a dream.

In this state that is neither real nor virtual...

But I came into contact with them.

Chapter 494 Eternal Night

(Cerunno)

The situation is dire. Miluno has blocked "that Michelle's" offensive against reality, but she herself is now essentially being held back.

My agent and I used magic to stop the black smoke from trying to flood into the third room. "The child needs to be fed."

I was gathering a tiny amount of light from the air that Michelle could absorb for her to absorb, but the repulsive nature of light and darkness meant that this little girl naturally hated being near light, and didn't even want to get close to me. Right now, she was hiding behind the agent...

Why doesn't she call you Dad?

"Perhaps it's because Miluno spent a lot of time with her."

"She refuses to eat, so there's no way she can surpass Michelle, right?"

When I said that, the agent scratched his head and asked, "So, Earth Crystal still doesn't think it's a fake?"

"Yes, that's Michelle too, and the one behind you is also Michelle."

I still hold this view, but it's mixed with too many other things besides faith.

"Besides increasing her capacity, we also need to find a way to suppress the discontent of the people in the New World. That will only allow the people's malice to continue to grow. Michelle probably didn't expect things to develop to this point, did she?"

"Continue to soothe emotions through thought networks? Are there any other solutions?"

Aldebaran stroked his chin and asked, "Hmm, what's the situation in the New World now?"

"It's terrible. There are many cases of witch transformation. Being devoured by a witch's personality is equivalent to death. Miss Spica is trying to calm people down and prevent more people from becoming witches."

I waved my hand, projecting the image of the new world onto the ground.

"Pitch black..."

The agent frowned and murmured, "It's just like the Age of Eternal Night."

Not a single star could be seen in the night sky, nor the moon, which hung high in the sky. The ground was pitch black, and a sense of despair spread through everyone's hearts...

"This is the scene on the eve of the destruction of 'the other side,' when only the radiance of the great will could illuminate this land... However, this world is virtual, so it will not be so easily destroyed, but people's spirits may not be able to be sustained and they will become witches."

If you stay in a dark world forever, you will eventually be swallowed up by the despair in your heart and turn into a witch.

These witch personalities seem to be influenced by malice, quickly devouring the original personality and transforming into mindless, ferocious monsters.

"Those who are consumed by negative emotions must rebalance the light and darkness within their bodies. The Earth Crystal will heal their consciousness, but this is only a temporary solution and won't cure the root cause..."

The so-called treatment involves extracting darkness and injecting light. This extracted darkness will serve as Michelle's snacks. Compared to the light that needs to be transformed, the darkness can be absorbed directly, and she is happy to eat it.

However, the treatment process takes time, and since we cannot change the environment of the new world, we cannot correct people's mindset.

"Serno".

Spica is a connection transmitted through a network of thoughts.

"The situation in the new world is very bad. It's not a utopia anymore, it's almost like a horror movie! Wild animal magical girls have all run into the city to take refuge, but the city is full of rioting witches, and the resulting panic will trigger more witch transformations."

"I know, we're trying to figure something out."

I understand the situation, but whether I can handle it is another matter.

Spica then suggested, "How about we withdraw all consciousness from the new world first?"

"No, the world's dominance is in Michelle's hands. If we withdraw now, we'll have no chance of taking it back."

We need glory.

It could allow Miluno's size to once again overshadow Michelle's brilliance.

“Mirno, those former magical girls are spontaneously gathering. Compared to other magical girls, they are more proficient in their magic and better at fighting those witches, but the gap in strength is still huge... Those magical girls who were originally witches and monsters have also left Avalon and are suppressing those out-of-control witches in various places…”

Faint sounds emanated from the mental network, along with images of magical girls battling witches.

"We are broadcasting their fighting spirit to the world through the mind network. We must let people know that now is not the time to give up... At least there are still people fighting to protect them... This should help, right?"

This voice belongs to "Extinction" Sister.

I remember she had a hacker's codename, but I can't recall it right now...

"Of course it's useful; there's a need to spread positive energy right now."

I affirmed her approach, but her response remained hesitant.

"However, their battle was very difficult, and many people were defeated and their fates are unknown... I'm not sure if this can be called positive energy."

Judging from those effects, the magical girls' situation is indeed not optimistic. Witches are inherently stronger than magical girls, let alone the weakened magical girls.

“The mind network exists precisely for the purpose of continuing to spread the truth.”

At this point, we can only try anything as a last resort, hoping that those who are desperate because of their cowardice can be awakened.

"Serno! Something is falling from the sky!"

Miss Sirius's voice, accompanied by real-time footage of the New World sky.

The already pitch-black sky was pressed down by something sharp, as if something wanted to pierce the sky and enter that other world...

And it wasn't just one; the same situation was everywhere.

"And what are those things?"

"The darkness that drips from reality will be an unbearable flood of malice for that virtual new world."

The agent seemed to know what it was...

"Was it because Miluno blocked the crater?"

"No, I'm afraid that imposter planned to do that from the very beginning. Her goal was to fill that world with darkness. That guy had no intention of practicing any 'light-dark balance theory.' Eliminating all light was just her instinct, wasn't it?"

To exclude Radiance is to exclude Miluno.

I wonder how Miluno is doing now...

"How did you know about this?" Aldebaran asked.

From the moment we started, the agent's grasp of the current situation has become far too clear.

"Of course I know."

She gave this answer, but then she put on her flight helmet.

"The madness she displayed was exactly the same as that great will to destroy the world, and even the disasters it brought were identical..."

Stealing away the light, crushing and mocking people's resistance, spreading darkness and despair throughout the world, turning people into monsters, and turning the world into a wasteland where only witches can survive...

Although this isn't a real, eternal night, for those living in this new world, what difference is there between virtual and reality?

"There are still differences."

I felt I had to say something to stop her from continuing to give up on herself.

"At least, Miluno still exists in this timeline, right?"

Chapter 495 The Bone Witch

(agent)

Haha, I really lost to myself.

The weak version of myself has become stronger than a witch.

"Phew, I'll go down and help too!"

He got up to stretch his limbs and then handed his silly daughter over to Aldebaran to raise.

“Unlike those magical girls, I am still a witch. A witch against another witch is not without a chance of winning... and my magic might just be able to stop the darkness from creeping down.”

The sky is about to fall in the new world.

Like a rubber tent on a rainy day, darkness is like the water accumulating on the top of the tent; once it collapses, everything underneath will be destroyed.

Spica then asked through the mind network, "So, isn't there a way to evacuate first? At least let those risky consciousnesses evacuate from the new world first, right?"

“Withdrawing will take time, and forcibly pulling people away will only damage their consciousness. Besides, things haven’t reached the point of no return yet… We can’t give up on the new world.”
