The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"I don't want to trust a capitalist like you. Even if you're beautiful, I'm willing to help Miss Yulia, even if I get scammed!"

"Me too!"

A brief silence is a sign of overwhelming support.

Her months of hard work paid off; Yulia helped others every day, earning her unimaginable prestige among the people.

Even Amelie could only rule Locke City through order.

Only Yulia could unite the people of this city from the bottom of their hearts, temporarily setting aside all grudges and hatreds, to fight against the natural disaster together.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

The people in the city quickly began to shout, their eyes filled with determination.

Human nature is inherently good. Even the most heinous criminals often have a soft side, let alone ordinary people.

The vast majority of them still yearn for kindness, but the cruelty of society and the ruthlessness of capital often force them to use indifference to protect themselves.

But Yulia is an exception. No matter how much she was influenced by Emerald, she was always willing to help others selflessly, and her sun-like heart warmed the hearts of others.

That's why Yulia was able to become the protagonist in the original game and command a large following in this decadent society ruled by capitalism.

She had helped everyone, so everyone was willing to help her. Besides, Yulia's efforts at this moment were also to protect everyone, so helping her was helping themselves.

"very good."

Emerald was clearly very pleased with the people's response. Her figure reappeared on various projections throughout the city, her noble and beautiful face full of smiles, her alluring black-stockinged legs crossed.

"What everyone needs to do is actually very simple."

"People who can live in the city should all be magic-affinity users. Although most of you cannot control magic like mages, you can still sense magic."

"The skill of using magic to manipulate the laws to create miracles is magic. What kind of magic is the original and the strongest? It is the heart. The heart that believes is the strongest magic."

"So... let's pray for Yulia, everyone."

"Empty your mind and brain, don't think about anything else for now, and there's no need to deliberately sense or control magic. You just need to send your blessings to Yulia and silently say in your hearts that you are willing to lend her your power... Of course, shouting it out loud will be even more effective."

After saying all this, Emerald switched the scene back to Julia's side. People saw that even though Julia was in tears, she still did not give up and was still trying to lift the integrated metal warehouse with her bloodied hands.

"I'm willing to lend my power to Miss Julia! Take it all, even drain me dry!"

Immediately, the first person raised their hands and shouted to the sky.

Immediately afterwards, nearly 20 hands were raised simultaneously throughout Locke City, with shouts echoing throughout, including those thugs who had been beaten up by Yulia for their violent acts.

"Hurry! How's the result?"

On the other hand, Emerald asked the people around her rather anxiously.

At this moment, Emery was in a room with a strong scientific research style. The people around her were not employees of Blue Star Film and Television and Welson Copper Industry, but several researchers wearing white coats, and the markings on their bodies belonged to Melson.

"It's a success! Miss, your plan was indeed correct!"

One of the researchers operated the magical device for a few tests and then revealed an excited smile:

"The idea of ​​wish magic is feasible! Those who are merely magic-affinity users actually donated a portion of their magic power under intense prayer! Although the amount of magic power donated by each individual is small, the combined magic power of so many people is comparable to that of a fusion-stage mage!"

"Of course my thinking is correct, humph!"

Emery gave a rather haughty snort and raised her eyebrows:

"I don't want to hear this nonsense! How efficient is the magic collector? How much of that wish magic can actually be collected and used? And how much can be transferred to Julia?"

"Let me take a look..."

The researcher quickly manipulated the magical device for a few more seconds before providing the answer:

"The magic collector's collection power is about 71%, and the magic that can be transferred to Miss Yulia after collection... well, the loss rate is quite high, only 59%."

"...So, only about 40% of the magic power gathered by the people of Locke City can be absorbed by Julia? Hmm...that's enough."

Emery pondered for a moment, her expression showing satisfaction:

“Lock City has 20 people, so 40% is about 8. Even if 8 people just lifted that warehouse by hand, let alone with the combined power of magic. This force is more than enough for Julia to play this heroic role well.”

"As for the issue of low utilization rate of collected magic power... it's not a big deal. After all, this is only the initial version of the equipment. You can improve it gradually in the future... You won't let me down, will you?"

As she spoke, Amelie glanced around the room with a stern look.

"Absolutely not!"

"Compared to the young lady's expectations, even death is nothing to fear!"

"Woof woof! I'm the young lady's dog! Woof woof! I'd even eat shit for the young lady!"

The researchers who were caught immediately expressed their loyalty with fervor, although a few of them expressed their loyalty in a rather strange way.

They were a team in the research and development department of the Melson Group, and also the true confidants that Emery had won over since childhood through her personal charm.

A few months ago, after Blue Star Films was established, Amelie paid to hire them through formal commercial channels. Ostensibly, they were there to develop and maintain various devices for playing projected videos, but in reality, they were already a private team that customized various magical artifacts for Amelie.

As the magic collector and magic transmitter were activated in sequence, everyone in Locke City felt a wave of weakness and exhaustion.

Their faith and strength were absorbed by the free magic, and along with their prayers, they were sent to Julia through Amelie's device.

"This...this is...?"

Yulia, who had been somewhat desperate and was trying in vain, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Surprise.

"Charge, Miss Julia!"

"Don't give up, Miss Julia, we believe you can do it."

"Miss Julia, you were able to lift the magic-powered vehicle to save me last time, so you can definitely lift the warehouse to stop the flood this time!"

The sounds of people's prayers and blessings, along with immense power, entered Yulia's body.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh...!"

"Power! Power is surging up! Now I can do anything!"

Chapter 9 Heroes never retreat!

As a large amount of magic entered Yulia's body, the inherited technique she received from Uri also started to operate at high speed on its own, absorbing that magic and transforming it into an enhancement of her physical attributes.

In the original game, the number after the plus sign in Yulia's attribute values ​​quickly became many times the number before the plus sign.

The integrated metal warehouse that they couldn't lift just moments ago was now easily lifted into the air by Yulia.

Yulia even had a strange feeling that she could now punch Amelie to her knees and take her home as her Star Power, so that she would no longer have to pay off debts or be a slave, and could even turn around and treat the heiress of the tycoon as a toy and an ATM.

The scene in her imagination was wonderful, but Yulia immediately bit her lip and used one hand to punch herself twice in the head:

"So this is what they mean by power leading to corruption? How terrifying! My thoughts just now were far too dangerous; I need to revise them!"

"Although Emery is also a capitalist, she is beautiful and kind-hearted. She not only helped me realize my ideals but also treated me so well. How could I have those kinds of thoughts about her?"

"Go to hell, you insatiable me!"

The Mind Correction Fist, as Yulia's biggest cheat in the original game, was also very effective on herself.

After two punches, Julia's eyes regained their clarity, and the thoughts of overthrowing Emerald were no longer in her mind.

She was very proud of herself, believing that she had successfully overcome her evil thoughts, but she did not know that she had voluntarily given up the possibility of killing Amelie, and was destined to be Amelie's slave for the rest of her life.

However, Yulia had no time to think about such things. The seawater was still rushing out of the mine entrance, constantly increasing the water depth on the streets of Locke City. Soon it would be up to an adult's chest and neck.

We must block it immediately!

Yulia immediately shoved the integrated metal warehouse against the entrance of the mine pit, and used tremendous force to deform the warehouse, reducing the gap between the warehouse and the entrance and blocking more water flow.

But things are not that easy. Yulia, who has absorbed the magic power of 8 magic-affinity users, is very powerful, but the source of the flood is the entire ocean.

Even if it is only a part of the power of the ocean, it is by no means something that human beings can easily resist.

The integrated metal warehouse, whose entrance had just been sealed, was about to be washed away by the water flow.

Yulia, of course, would not let her efforts be in vain. She stepped forward and pushed the integrated metal warehouse with both hands to resist the power of the sea.

Her boots sank into the ground almost instantly, and the white stockings on her legs ripped open due to Yulia's excessive force.

Can't stand it.

Yulia's veins bulged on her forehead, and her neck was covered in fine beads of sweat. She had undoubtedly pushed her body to its limit, but it still wasn't enough.

She felt herself starting to back away; the water would soon burst open the integrated metal warehouse, gushing out again and flowing towards Locke City.

This must not be allowed to happen!

no way!

If you don't have enough strength, then make up for it with your willpower!

Amelie said she would make me a hero, and now the people of Locke City have already regarded me as a hero. They are all expecting me to defeat the flood and save everyone. How can I lose like this?

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh...!"

"Don't retreat!"

Yulia roared, seemingly triggering another magical miracle, temporarily gaining enough power to confront the flood head-on.

"Not a single step back!"

"A hero never backs down!"

Unfortunately, Yulia's shouts were very powerful, but it was ultimately just a psychological effect and an illusion. She already felt her arms were sore, almost numb, and her legs were almost not her own anymore.

She really couldn't hold on any longer.

beep.

Just then, Yulia suddenly heard her magical armor speak, a completely emotionless voice:

"An emergency situation has been detected facing the wearer. Do you wish to activate the set effect of this Mystic Code, which would temporarily boost the wearer's power at the cost of permanent damage to certain body parts?"

"Activate! Activate! It's just a mere magical artifact, Emery has plenty of those! I don't care how many years I have to work for her to pay off my debts, what I need now is power! Power!"

Yulia immediately shouted out her answer.

beep.

"Voiceprint matching successful. The command issuer has been confirmed as Julia Dora. This Mystic Code will now activate its set effect... Miracle Fusion, activate!"

It started with long gloves, then a belt, a pleated skirt, and tall boots. Finally, basically every part of her magical costume, except for Yulia's own magical artifact cloak, lit up and turned into light.

These lights quickly merged into one, becoming an even brighter magical radiance, and merged into Yulia's body.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! That's the feeling! The feeling of this power constantly surging forth!"

Yulia laughed loudly, her expression one of great satisfaction, even a little crazy.

After squeezing all the magical artifacts that Emerald had provided her, she finally gained the power to fight the flood for a short time.

She withstood the impact of the water flow on the integrated metal warehouse without retreating an inch, and the amount of water gushing out of the mine entrance was greatly reduced.

The rate at which the water level in Locke City rose naturally slowed down.

“...I suppose I’ve managed to do it, Emerald.”

Yulia finally breathed a sigh of relief and murmured:

"Next, we'll wait for your elven magic expert."

. . . . .

"Quick, quick, help me put this up too!"

Meanwhile, seeing that Julia had completed her mission, Emerald also took action.

Since Marcy still needed to persuade Viliana, Amelie could only ask her assistant to help her with her makeup and put a fake mustache on her face.

There are no elven magic experts here. Even if there were, those experts would usually be in a major city, at least the capital of a federal state, and it wouldn't be possible to summon them in a short time.

So this elven magic expert was the one Emerald intended to impersonate from the very beginning.

After donning a rather dowdy white magic robe, a fake beard, black-rimmed glasses, and a hat, Amelie set off.

Carried by a female member of the M22 squad using a flying magic device, Amelie arrived at the coast where Julia and Viliana had fought before in just a few minutes, and found the magic circle that Viliana had set up there to control the seawater.

Walking to the magic circle, Emery smoothed her fake mustache, pretended to study the magic circle for about half a minute, then took out her magical hammer and smashed it down.

click!

Just like glass being hit by a stone, as the black light emitted by the magic hammer enveloped the magic circle, the magic circle shattered before it could last for three seconds.
