Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Woo~~~"

It was a gentle touch, not a deep kiss, so it didn't last long. When Qiqi let go of the red ponytail, she saw the other person's cheeks slightly red, obviously shy, but she still used a proud tone to dodge with her eyes and said:

"I...I won't forgive you just because of a kiss, humph!"

Typical tsundere words, Qiqi smiled sweetly at this:

"Well, of course I knew it wouldn't be that simple, so I didn't just kiss Xiaobai just now!"

The mysterious words made the girl with red ponytail stunned for a moment. When she raised her head and was about to say something, a faint light suddenly rang out from between her eyebrows. Then the light extending from between her eyebrows instantly connected to... the light ball not far away?

"Ugh?"

The sudden scene obviously startled Red Ponytail, but Qiqi beside her seemed to be fine and just continued to speak gently:

"I'm just... ready to give myself to you!"

That’s right, she was just giving herself, that is to say... the entire mechanical planet to Xiaobai!

"you……"

The sudden words made Red Ponytail stunned. After a long time, she felt something suddenly pop up in her mind. She looked at Qiqi in front of her coldly. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but something unexpected happened in the next second.

"Buzz buzz~~~"

As if being pulled by a string, the halo of the main brain, which was originally blue with a little red light, suddenly burst into bright and smooth rays. In a flash of light, the red ponytail flew up in the next second under the traction, and then was sucked into the ball of light in the next second without waiting for her to speak.

"Qi..."

She opened her mouth, but only made a sound. She suddenly felt sleepy, and then Red Ponytail slowly closed her eyes. Qiqi, who had been watching all this quietly from beginning to end, looked at the light ball sleeping peacefully, and saw the light balls around it gradually gathering towards her body as if with every breath. She immediately revealed a faint smile:

"Have a good sleep, Xiaobai. When you wake up, you will know the future of this planet, the future of mechanical life forms, and..."

"The future of the world... depends entirely on you!"

The purpose of the mechanical planet's existence is not just self-preservation, and the main brain is not just fighting against the silver for survival. Their real purpose is actually to protect, to protect two things:

Coffin and...seeds!

36. Memory

"Xiaobai has been acting a little strange lately!"

"Question...I don't understand why!"

"No, haven't you noticed? It's not as attentive as before, and it even objects to our suggestions from time to time!"

"Defense: This opinion is reasonable and there is nothing unusual!"

"That's true, but I just feel that...Xiao Bai is a little... Although I understand why it's like this!"

"..."

"Why aren't you talking anymore?"

"Answer... express dissatisfaction with the final result!"

"I see... Do you also object to my decision?"

"..."

"Okay, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, it's impossible to maintain the volume of a world without paying a price!"

"Answer: Understanding, justification..."

"I understand, but... never mind, it's already been decided, so let's not discuss it anymore, okay~~"

"..."

"Come to think of it... I'm a little worried about Xiaobai's current condition. At least he'll still listen to me now, but what if I'm not around anymore..."

"Question: What do you want to do?"

"Take some measures. I'm worried that Xiaobai might do something extreme, so we need to make some preparations in advance!"

"Prepare?"

"Well, Xiaobai is very smart, even smarter than all of us combined, but at the same time, his ideas are too extreme. So in order to stop him... we need a complete backup plan!"

"...I am your system, you only need to give me orders!"

"Yeah, very good, very good. If that's the case..."

One day, the secret communication came to an end. What happened afterwards? By the way, everything seemed to be as the goddess expected. Xiaobai... Baiyin finally made a move!

The overwhelming silver energy mercilessly devoured her before she could react, and then devoured everything in the world, turning all existing things, whether material or non-material, into its own property in order to gather strength.

She knew Baiyin's purpose, and understood that the other party did not want to destroy the world or have any powerful ambitions. Its purpose was very pure and very simple... There was only one purpose from the beginning to the end!

However, that goal was impossible to achieve. Even if Baiyin's idea succeeded, it would definitely not succeed in the end. The reason was actually very simple, simply because...

Silver devoured everything, devoured everything, and eventually even devoured his best friend... should he be considered a best friend? Even his companion who had once served the goddess together, managed and transformed this world, he chose to devour without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation.

Wouldn't it feel heartbroken? Wouldn't it resent what it has done? Wouldn't it feel that everything it does now, motivated by selfish motives, conflict with its own responsibilities?

She had once had this question, but it was soon answered. The answer was... no!

If you ask why, it’s because just before this earth-shaking plan was implemented, Baiyin made a decision, a decision that was cruel to others but even crueler to himself!

It actively split itself into two concepts: it and her!

The silver one lives only for this one purpose, and is even willing to sacrifice everything to achieve this goal... including its own existence.

And the other her... the one named Shengyin inherited her hesitation, her feelings, her responsibilities, everything... Of course, the same power would be separated by half... But that's not a problem!

Because according to its plan, after this half is separated, it will devour it again without hesitation after making a complete decision about everything. This is like removing all the unnecessary emotions in its heart, and then swallowing it back to make it disappear. In this way, it can restore all its energy and make its "heart" disappear at the same time. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, such actions, such plans...were ultimately obstructed!

Encountered an obstacle from his own...system!

By combining half of the power of Holy Silver and adding the power of the system, against the combined power of the Silver half and the almost shattered world that had been devoured, an earth-shattering war finally broke out in this dead world.

But the final result was nothing... Silver, with only half of his strength left, was seriously injured, and the world he swallowed was also stripped from his body, but the life that had been assimilated had long since disappeared. In other words, the world that was once saved by the goddess with great difficulty was now completely destroyed under the ravages of Silver.

And unlike the previous 'death', this time the entire world was truly and completely swallowed up, and all life was wiped out with no possibility of recovery.

Silver won... but it lost the possibility of 'resurrecting the goddess'.

The system won, but lost the entire world. The world that was once saved is now only an empty shell!

It can be said that the result of a complete loss for both sides is presented before them. However, Baiyin, who had already erased his feelings in this situation, obviously had no intention of giving up. Instead, he turned around and left and prepared to start implementing his next plan.

Shengyin wanted to stop his half body so he chased after it, so what happened after that?

The system didn't know because she didn't chase after him to completely stop or eliminate Baiyin, because she had another mission, a more important mission that the goddess had given her...

What mission was that?

"..."

He silently opened his eyes, only to be met with a vast expanse of white space. This wasn't a void, but rather a white light covering everything above, on the ground, and to his left and right. Walls of the same color silently blocked his path. The intertwining walls revealed the current scene... a maze of light!

Everything is made up of light. In front of the layers of walls, the scenery in front of you will be dazzling and you will lose your direction in the blink of an eye. In such a maze, it is impossible for anyone to find a way out easily.

However, all this is meaningless to Yu Yuan now. If you want to know why, it is because at this moment, a strange yet familiar memory suddenly appeared in her mind.

That is... the method of making this maze and... the entire map!

37. Do you really think this place is run by your family?

"The Light Domain Maze... Is this... inside a coffin?"

Blinking, as this soliloquy came out of his mouth, Yu Yuan immediately frowned... What was he talking about? What were these strange memories? And the dream just now... No, that's not right, maybe that wasn't a dream, but... his past?

Or was it before meeting Yuhuan, before my sister traveled through time, before I discovered my sister's existence... my past self?

"The memory of the goddess..."

It wasn't some information flowing in, nor was it the memory she received from someone, but rather it was a memory that truly belonged to her, to her past... She had been here before, had shared a room with a being called 'Goddess', had served her before but had never acknowledged her as her master, having simply spent hundreds, thousands of years with her as partners, as close friends... or even longer?

Together they had lamented this dying world, cursed the gods who had fled, pondered how to spend their final days in this world... and finally, they had discussed how to save this world on the brink of destruction... All of this, in this world where life was about to end, they, just three of them, gazed upon the world, observed it, and ultimately formulated a plan and launched into action...

I remembered it all, everything, the past memories, the past experiences, the past war and... the former best friend, now the enemy!

"Silver... Goddess... Holy Silver... World..."

A dazed look flashed across his face, and he stared blankly at the wall of light in front of him. The dazzling light did not make Yu Yuan feel any pain at all. He just stared straight ahead, his eyes gradually becoming confused. The torrent of memories kept rushing through his mind, but suddenly it stopped at a certain moment!

What is that?

At the end of his memory, he remembered that he seemed to have a mission to complete. It was a mission entrusted to him by the goddess. It came from the backup plan she left behind, and it was also a means to restrict Baiyin... What was that backup plan... But Yu Yuan couldn't remember the key point of this ridiculous point. This is really...

"Can't you be more reliable? My memory..."

If I could remember what that back-up plan was, if I could remember what the goddess had planned, if I could remember everything, then...

"I can help my sister eliminate Silver!"

Her thoughts have changed, and she is no longer the emotionless system she once was, nor is she the helpless system that was merely the goddess' assistant, the goddess' partner, the goddess' best friend, and the temporary 'boss'!

Now she has her own master, her own lover who needs her help with all her heart, and her own... other half, so her thoughts have naturally changed, and her ideas have naturally shifted. Although the goddess's instructions are still fresh in her ears, for her now... the most important thing has become her sister's orders and safety.

In his mind, the computing power began to work at full capacity, channeling this sudden torrent of memories: a vast memory spanning thousands and tens of thousands of years, the knowledge, wisdom, abilities, and so on accumulated since his birth...

Everything began to recover little by little as she got closer to the 'core'. In this situation, there was no change on Yu Yuan's face, not even her eyes or her heart were shaken. The reason was actually very simple, because now she was not the so-called system, but... Yu Yuan!

"If this is the core, then Sister shouldn't be in any danger. However, on the other hand... things might become even more troublesome!"

To put it simply, a coffin is the place where a person's remains are buried after death. This is certainly not the tomb of a certain person. In fact, it should be said that it is the tomb of a god... Yes, this is a tomb of a god, a cemetery left by the gods for their own burial after death.

Of course, this might not be entirely accurate. After all, after recovering his memories, Yu Yuan, who had learned a great deal, was very clear that, compared to that goddess who always loved to play pranks and was particularly evil, this place was not so much her grave as it was...

"I hope you won't do anything excessive to me. Otherwise, even if you are my best friend, I won't be polite to you!"

For some reason, he suddenly clenched his fists and uttered such threatening words to himself. After thinking about it, Yu Yuan slowly closed his eyes. The maps of the maze flashed clearly in his mind, and then a light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him. On the light curtain, crisscrossing lines formed a pattern of the entire maze in all directions. At the same time, the red dots on it were also clearly marked out.

"Everyone, follow the maze map. We'll meet at the end!"

The voice from Yu Yuan instantly resounded in the ears of other people in the maze. At the same time, Yu, Zi and others who were groping in the maze also raised their heads and looked at the light curtain in front of them. Although they were slightly stunned by this sudden situation, after confirming that it was Yu Yuan's voice, they immediately began to grope towards the exit according to the map on the light curtain without any doubt.

The strange maze is the third level of the ruins. After the chicken-eating battlefield, everyone fell into another maze. Of course, if it were just that, it would be fine. Although the surrounding walls full of dazzling light can easily create illusions, which undoubtedly makes the entire maze look full of difficulty, but in fact, the so-called difficulty... is not just that!

"Huh? How come you suddenly found the way? Is Yuanyuan so amazing?"

I also received the message from Yu Yuan through Xiao Yi. I had originally thought that this maze was so difficult, and with the other arrangements, it would be a good place to stop everyone's progress. But I never expected that Yu Yuan would pull out a complete map or something... Are you sure this ruins isn't owned by your family? Why do you know this place so well?

At this moment, he couldn't help but have such thoughts. However, having a map would obviously make it easier for everyone to reunite. In fact, Yu Yuan and the others could successfully get out of here... Yu Huan was not too worried. If you ask why...

"If it were just a maze, it would be easy with a map, but here... I've added some extra ingredients!"

38. The final obstacle

Previously, the sudden appearance of Xiao Yi and others had triggered protests from many people in the alliance, who firmly claimed that Tian Yu Cheng and others had violated the rules and forced many people to join in. However, for these acts of protest that were only apparent, Tian Yu Cheng Yu Yuan and others simply ignored them without a second thought... After all, they were just a group of rabble, so they naturally didn't need to pay too much attention to them.

As for this point, given that both Tianta City and the Scavengers Alliance, the two giants, remained silent afterwards, the matter ultimately came to nothing with much ado about nothing.

Then they waited silently until the end of the game. It seemed that someone finally couldn't help but want to take action. However, as if it was stuck, the familiar voice from the ruins sounded again. This time, the voice was different, and even the tone changed again:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Next up is the next level: the Light Domain Maze. Please prepare!"

The voice that spoke this was gentle and polite, but as soon as the words fell, they did not give these people any time to prepare. The next second, with a flash of light, in the blink of an eye, everyone was standing in a vast expanse of white land.

This time, everyone's order was completely disrupted and they were divided into this big maze. The surrounding walls of light could be mistaken if one was not careful. Even Luo Xinming and others couldn't help but frown at this time. They had no way to deal with this kind of terrain.

It was in this situation that the map that Yu Yuan suddenly took out undoubtedly allowed the people of Tianyu City to take the lead. Under the guidance of Yu Yuan's map, everyone walked to the exit at the edge of the maze without any obstacles. It seemed that they only needed to turn a few corners to leave the maze, but at this moment... trouble had already blocked their way.

"That is……"

"How can it be……"

“There’s actually…”

Disbelief, uncertainty, and even a hint of heaviness emanated from the mouths of Zi, Yu, Ling, Bingmian, and others who gradually gathered. However, No. 2 and his companions, who also arrived later, also looked at the figures that suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way. After hesitating for a moment, they tilted their heads and slowly revealed the other party's identity:

"Judgment: Unknown model Humagia, status confirmed..."

He looked at the other party with such vigilance. Yu Yuan, who finally arrived late, blinked silently at the sight of all this. Then he suddenly gritted his teeth and muttered to himself:

"Sister, this is too much! We came here to save her, but it turns out to be so funny!"

No one knew what this sentence meant, after all, there were no outsiders around. However, it was obvious that after Yu Yuan said this, Xu Magia on the opposite side seemed to react immediately.
