Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Once a subordinate god of the Star-Creating Goddess, once a relic of the old world abandoned by its own creator and master, it once met the Star-Creating Goddess by chance, and with mutual sympathy, it spared no effort to help the other create the new world of today: Silver!

For this thriving world today, for this gradually changing dead world today, for everything now that seems to be moving forward according to their original expectations, it suddenly revealed its anger, its dissatisfaction, its accusations and its sadness.

The reason for all of this is because...

"Why should you be sacrificed? Why would you do so much for a world on the brink of destruction?"

"You clearly don't owe this world anything... You're clearly not the god they believe in!"

"It's not worth it, it shouldn't be, it's not needed... This world doesn't need your devotion. Greedy and selfish creatures don't deserve your kindness. As a god, enjoying endless life, you shouldn't sacrifice everything you have for a mere world like this... including your own life!"

It felt unfair to the deity who had sacrificed everything; it was dissatisfied with the sacrifice of its best friend; and it was indignant at the fate of its savior, the 'master' who had decided to sacrifice everything for the second time.

And in the end, wrapped in all these negative emotions, it gave him a bold and crazy idea:

"The world is incomparable to you. The world has no meaning to me, but you are the most important person to me... A world without you doesn't need... and doesn't have to exist!

So it's ready to... destroy the world!

Of course, this wasn't a pure villain's crazy decision made out of hatred for the world. After all, this was a world that was finally saved after giving up everything for the goddess. If it destroyed it just to vent its anger, then obviously even it would never forgive itself. Therefore, for it, for it called Silver, destroying the world... was just the first step!

"Assimilate everything, accumulate everything... Let everything you have dedicated be reunited, and everything return to its origin... I will bring you back to life, even if it means sacrificing the world you care about, even a thousand and one dangers!"

It came up with such an idea and took action to achieve it, devouring the world, changing the laws governing the world, and forcibly taking in everything under the core of one world after another, including itself... just to resurrect the goddess in its heart.

For this reason, no one can stand in my way, no one!

As the 'companion' who carried out all this with it at the beginning: Holy Silver won't do!

As the goddess's 'artifact', 'divinity' and 'computing device': the system is not good enough!

Even if it’s me...it’s not possible!

All that stands in his way... will be completely destroyed, devoured, and assimilated...

Become the nourishment she needs for her resurrection!

33. Not about good or evil

"..."

Silence, speechless silence!

For a moment, Red Ponytail didn't know how to respond to the end of this dream, and at this moment, silence was the only way to express her feelings.

So what is the situation now?

The world is 'dead' because life has come to an end?

Then, after much effort, a goddess sacrificed herself to save the world, but this made one of her companions dissatisfied, and they swallowed up the world again to resurrect the goddess?

The most crucial result is that the guy who can be said to be a villain in the novel... actually succeeded. When this world has been completely swallowed up, the only remaining mechanical planet has actually long lost the so-called "life" and there are only a group of machines fighting desperately.

"So... what kind of morbid plot could have led to a world like this? This is just too unfortunate!"

Rather than being tormented like this, Red Ponytail thinks it would be better to just destroy the world. It would be like this: people would die and be revived, and then be devoured again if they survived... It would be better to just put an end to it all!

Well, of course, these are just Red Ponytail's personal opinions, and they certainly can't represent the world's decision. In fact, for her... in theory, she actually stands on the side of Silver. After all...

"Just like Baiyin, the existence of life and the continuation of the world have little to do with me. After all, I am just an ordinary mechanical life form. So my goal is simple... Protecting the mechanical planet and protecting the family I want to protect is enough!"

Yu Huan once said that she didn't need to do anything extra, she just needed to do what she wanted. In fact, Red Ponytail really didn't have the heart to save the world. To her, the only things that needed to be saved and protected were the things she cared about. As for the world... what did it have to do with a mere mechanical life like her?

"I don't have any intention of refuting your ideas or stopping you from destroying the world..."

From a personal point of view, Yu Huan does not think that Baiyin's actions are wrong. After all, compared with the world and the goddess, Baiyin is obviously more familiar with the goddess and is dismissive of the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that she would do such a thing. If she were to change to Red Ponytail and asked to choose between the world and the mechanical planet, she would undoubtedly have no choice at all.

In view of this, Red Ponytail herself has no objection to Baiyin's actions, nor does she have any opinions. If we ask why she still wants to confront Baiyin despite having such thoughts in the current environment, the answer is actually very simple:

"What you are going to do...is a threat to my home and my family!"

There is no need for any lofty reasons, nor any boring excuses, etc. Everyone is doing this for the things they care about... Silver devours everything in order to gather the laws of the world and resurrect the goddess, and she defeats Silver in order to prevent Silver from devouring the last remnant of this world: the mechanical planet while protecting her family.

The two have no hatred towards each other, but they naturally stand on opposite sides simply because of the different beliefs and things they hold on to. Therefore, this is not a battle between justice and evil, but simply a battle from both sides to protect their respective beliefs!

I opened my eyes slightly, and saw a smiling face looking at me. It was Qiqi who had been by my side for some time.

There was a soft touch under his head, but it was not like the feeling of a sofa, but something warmer and more delicate... It was the enjoyment of Qiqi's lap pillow, which was the highest level of treatment that no one in the entire mechanical planet was qualified to enjoy except Red Ponytail.

"woke up?"

Looking at the red-ponytailed girl who opened her eyes, Qiqi's usual smiling voice rang out immediately. In response, the red-ponytailed girl smiled slightly and nodded gently, but she glanced sideways in other directions of the hall.

"Liuli and Xuezhi have gone to fight. Perhaps because of your expansion outside, you have angered Baiyin. Its invasion seems to have intensified. Now almost all the combat aircraft have been sent outside the planet for defense!"

As if guessing what Red Ponytail wanted to ask, Qiqi spoke up and explained before she asked... This was undoubtedly something that the main brain had expected. After all, the Mechanical Planet had always been the defending side and was invaded by the Silver Planet. Perhaps in the eyes of the Silver Planet, the Mechanical Planet was just a lamb to be slaughtered, and it was only a matter of time before it was conquered.

But now the situation has obviously changed!

One day, the lamb to be slaughtered suddenly broke out of its cage (protection circle) and launched a counterattack against the wolves when they were not paying attention. The most important thing is that it succeeded... Such a sudden change obviously made Baiyin feel unnecessary anger, and also created a sense of danger and vigilance.

Baiyin's rationality prevents it from underestimating any threat. Resurrecting the goddess and destroying the world is a huge yet very delicate task. For Baiyin, any flaw is obviously a huge obstacle to its plan. Therefore, it responded to the counterattack of the mechanical planet immediately.

The branches of the World Tree gradually took root and sprouted in the Silver Universe. However, because of the mimicry energy of the Red Ponytail to the Silver Universe, at least at this stage, while it was hiding in the vast Silver Universe to accumulate strength, the Silver Universe could not find the other party at all for a while.

Therefore, in order to eliminate this threat, what Baiyin has to do is undoubtedly very simple: speed up the process of devouring the source of all this and devour the mechanical planet completely... In this way, all crises originating from the mechanical planet will naturally be solved.

As for Baiyin's 100%-likely choice, the main brain had already analyzed and guessed it. Therefore, at the moment when Red Ponytail just took action, the entire mechanical planet also started to move like never before.

All equipment is running at full capacity, and there is no need to worry about energy loss, or even whether high-speed operation will consume the "lifespan" of the mechanical planet itself.

This is a decisive battle, and there will undoubtedly be only one side that will win in the end, so at this moment... there is no need to hold back!

34. Where the Mastermind is

"...Is that so? Then Qiqi, how come...well, you can't leave the Mechanical Planet!"

Liuli and Xuezhi were both eliminated, and only Qiqi was left. Red Ponytail just thought about it and understood it instantly without asking any questions. She already knew why Qiqi couldn't leave the mechanical planet, and as for why... in fact, she undoubtedly had some guesses in her mind!

"Well, that's roughly the situation. The entire planet is currently busy!"

Still with a smile on her face, Qiqi looked at Red Ponytail with an extremely gentle gaze. After slowly describing the current situation as if chatting about family matters, she didn't wait for Red Ponytail to ask any questions and spoke as if she had guessed her thoughts once again:

"No, Xiaobai, all you have to do now is complete your mission well. You don't need to worry about anything else... Have some faith in your sisters, okay~~"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she interrupted the Red Ponytail's attempt to help. Her words made the Red Ponytail startled for a moment, then she nodded with a wry smile. But the next second, Qiqi gently pulled her up, then held her in her arms and whispered softly in her ear:

"Xiaobai is not only a family member to me, Liuli, and Xuezhi now, but also the elder sister of everyone on the entire Mechanical Planet. She is also the hero of the Mechanical Planet and our last and greatest hope!"

The cultivation of the World Tree determines the capital for the future confrontation with Silver, and Red Ponytail, as the owner of the World Tree, is naturally the top priority. Its importance even exceeds that of the main brain. Therefore, for the entire mechanical planet, even if the entire mechanical planet has fallen, Red Ponytail must not have any accidents.

Everything... just for victory!

But all I did was just for the Mechanical Planet... Red Ponytail opened her mouth and wanted to say this, but she didn't say it for the third time, because at this moment Qiqi had already issued a strange invitation to Red Ponytail:

"Xiaobai, do you want to go out for a walk?"

The question was asked softly, with the same gentle tone as always, but something seemed to flash in her eyes at that moment, which undoubtedly made the girl with red ponytail stunned for a moment. Then the next second, she was silent for a long time as if she had realized something, and then nodded slightly.

"Then... let's go!"

"it is good!"

On the mechanical planet where people come and go, the original prosperous scene has long disappeared. The people who hurriedly came and went on the originally bustling streets are now only left with fully armed machines and various weapons being carried.

The smell of gunpowder filled the air in all directions, and the roar of tanks and fighter planes could be heard from time to time. In the distance, one could often see rocket-like objects being launched into the sky, creating reverse objects like meteors.

At the same time, the originally clear sky had become gray, and from time to time, there were substances like snowflakes floating in the sky, but they were obviously not such beautiful things as snowflakes, but silver residues that were blasted into pieces outside the sky.

The residue just floated down from the sky, but just when it was about to touch the ground, countless small bee-shaped bodies suddenly flew out from the darkness, and the collectors in their hands quickly recovered the surrounding silver residue... and then reused it.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly yet tense manner. Even as they were walking on such a tight street with no sense of 'strolling' or sightseeing, two girls, one big and one small, were walking aimlessly towards one side of the street hand in hand.

The machines passing by from time to time would almost always nod in greeting when they saw the two of them, no matter how busy they were. From time to time, there would be loli-type logistics machines coming and going, bowing respectfully to Red Ponytail and addressing her as "Sister".

Every time at this time, Red Ponytail would also greet the other party, reach out and touch the other party's head, and then watch the other party leave with a happy face amidst a burst of blessings.

Even with such a plain action, Qiqi had been watching from the side from beginning to end, smiling at everything in front of her as if she was an outsider, and then continued to move forward with the red ponytail.

The two walked through the streets, out of the city, through the desert, and then through another nearby city.

There was absolutely no purpose, as if they were just "walking" as Qiqi said. They didn't know how long they walked like this, until there was no trace of the city around them. In the silent desert, even the roar that occasionally sounded in the sky seemed to have faded away. Finally, the two of them stopped as if in tacit understanding, and stood in the center of the desert.

"This is it!"

The calm voice seemed to be saying something that was taken for granted. Red Ponytail nodded slightly without any surprise, and then asked:

"Where is this place?"

Although I had some guesses in my mind, I still wanted the other party to tell me in person.

Now that they were all here, it was clear that Qiqi had no intention of hiding anything:

"The location of the mastermind!"

"Om~~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a light blue light suddenly lit up from under the feet of the two people in the next second. Rays of light connected in all directions and gradually formed a scene like a light array. The next second, invisible waves suddenly enveloped the two of them. When the waves and the light disappeared at the same time, the place was obviously empty and there was no human figure.

The main brain, the center of the mechanical planet, is also the core of the operation of the entire mechanical planet. It can be said to be the foundation of the entire mechanical planet... Once there is a problem with the main brain, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire mechanical planet will be paralyzed in an instant, and there will be no possibility of recovery.

It is such an important thing, and naturally it is of utmost importance to the mechanical planet. Therefore, both confidentiality and protection mechanisms are of the highest level.

In fact, apart from some "special" machines, there are not many people in the entire mechanical planet who know the location of the main brain. This maintains the mystery of the main brain while reducing the possibility that the main brain will be discovered because a certain machine is corroded by silver.

However, now... Red Ponytail has arrived here: the core of the main brain, the most tightly defended and most important place in the entire mechanical planet.

35. I give myself to you!

There is a hint of red mixed in the light blue ball of light. At first glance, it looks like a blue solution with a few drops of red liquid mixed in, but they do not blend with each other, emitting a brilliant halo in the faint light.

After walking into this empty space except for the walls, Red Ponytail recognized the true form of the light ball in front of him without any need to guess... Who else could it be but the main brain?

"Welcome to the 'Core'!"

The main brain flickered with a faint light, and although it looked like just a ball of pure light, the red liquid flowing in it moved slightly at that moment, and Red Ponytail felt in an instant... the feeling of being spied on all over her body.

Qiqi beside him had already walked to the side of the light ball without knowing when to do so. She pointed at the other party and introduced it to Chong Yuhuan as if to translate:

"This is the core component of the main brain. You can call it the 'coffin'. Don't ask me why I call it that. I don't know even if you ask!"

As usual, his words were brief but to the point. When Red Ponytail was slightly stunned, he did not immediately answer Qiqi's words. Instead, he stared at her intently, and the next second, he suddenly asked a completely unrelated question:

"A clone? A projection? Or a creation?"

When such a question came out, Qiqi frowned slightly at first, then it relaxed a little bit, and then she answered gently in the same tone:

"Strictly speaking, I'm a clone, but in a sense, we're also independent entities, so it's not easy to judge or distinguish them!"

This answer made Red Ponytail nod in understanding, and then asked:

"What is the purpose?"

This question...feels a bit pointless, because even Red Ponytail can guess the answer:

"Observe you!"

It was a natural answer. After all, the special characteristics of the red ponytail made it impossible for the main brain to let her develop freely. However, excessive monitoring and control would only lead to the most unfavorable results. After all, what the main brain needed was a new type of body that could bring innovation, change, and rebirth, rather than a combat robot that just followed orders.

Because of this, there is undoubtedly only one way to observe the red ponytail up close without making the other party feel disgusted: that is to become the other party's companion and follow the other party with great brightness.

So Qiqi, the guide, was born!

From simply guiding Red Ponytail to familiarize herself with everything on the Mechanical Planet, to later receiving the emotional messages shared by Red Ponytail and being the first to realize the existence of "emotions," thus treating her as a companion and family member... And then, gradually developing "divergence" with the Mastermind, he transformed from a clone into an independent individual, with his own name...

After several years of development, everything has become what it is today. Looking at the red ponytail in front of her, Qiqi smiled sweetly and showed her usual teasing expression:

"How's it going, Xiaobai? Are you scared by my true identity?"

To be honest, I was a little scared... Although I had speculated about this, what I actually saw was completely different from what I imagined. So, seeing Qiqi standing with the main brain, Red Ponytail couldn't help but smile and said:

"Ah, I'm almost scared to death, so Qiqi, you have to compensate me for my mental damages!"

The tone was joking, but in just these two short sentences, there was no longer any barrier between the two of them... Well, there actually had been no such thing from the beginning. After all, Qiqi had never deliberately concealed her identity, and Red Ponytail had already seen some clues early on, so...

"That's too much! I've already helped you so much, and now you're asking me for compensation for mental damage? That's too much, Xiaobai!"

"I don't care. Lying is wrong anyway. If you don't compensate me, I will never forgive you, a liar, for the rest of my life!"

"Wow~~ Is it that serious? I don't want to be hated by Xiaobai or anything like that. I want to make up for it... Oh, let's just do this!"

As if she had thought of some brilliant idea, she looked at the girl with red ponytail who was pouting and looking like "come to comfort me", and immediately walked towards her like Qiqi, stretched out her hands and cupped her cheeks. The next second, her cherry-red lips were tightly pressed against her small mouth.
