Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

"..."

Alicia was speechless. She didn't know what to do. Why, why had her best friend turned into a witch?!

Alicia closed her eyes in pain.

However, Eden then pulled Alicia into his arms, pressing his head close to Alicia's cheek.

"Sia, Miu Miu, Amy, please, kill me!"

Eden's voice was soft, but it echoed in the cozy room.

"No!" Alicia immediately turned around in terror and covered Eden's lips.

However, this also revealed the witch's gem in Eden's hand, allowing Muirsey and Emilia to see it more clearly.

However, Muirsey and Emilia did not look, but simply exchanged a silent glance.

"don't want......"

"don't want......"

Alicia cried out in anguish and helplessness, repeatedly saying "no," tears streaming down her face.

She could no longer accept the loss of the person closest to her.

She never truly escaped the shadows in her heart; so many of the beautiful, radiant girls she loved were dead. The fairy sister who guided her growth and made her a magical girl hadn't appeared for a very, very long time.

The heavy human casualties caused by the appearance of witches time and time again have always lingered in Alicia's heart.

The three women looked at Alicia, who was crying, and remained silent.

"Miumiu, do you have a solution?" Emilia turned to look at Muirse.

Muirsay was silent for a moment.

"...I don't know."

Surprisingly, Muirsay gave a strange answer.

“Mimi…” Alicia, sobbing, looked at Muirse.

"Ugh"

Muirsay sighed heavily.

"Deus Ex" project

She suddenly revealed a plan.

"That is?"

Emilia only vaguely knew that Muirsay had been working on this project for years, but due to its high degree of secrecy, Emilia did not know the specific details.

Alicia, on the other hand, had no idea what the Deus Ex project was.

"Muirsay said in a deep voice."

"This is a project to use a time machine for time travel. If human civilization ultimately faces an invincible enemy, the Deus Ex will be activated to go back to the past and reverse the future."

Then, Muirses looked at Eden, but her attention remained on Alicia. To protect Alicia's broken heart, Muirses did not utter the word "witch".

"Since Eden wasn't discovered before, it means Eden wasn't there at the time. Therefore, we can use this plan to go back in time and change Eden's situation."

Upon hearing about the plan, Alicia was suddenly overwhelmed with joy and excitement. She looked at Muirsey as if she had grasped at the last straw.

"Mew! Is this real?!"

"Um......"

"Great! Great!"

Alicia burst into tears of joy, her inner gloom instantly vanished, and she hugged Eden with overwhelming excitement.

"Eden! Can you hear me?!"

"You'll be alright, you'll definitely be alright!"

Muirse and Emilia both looked at Alicia and Eden with smiles on their faces.

However, Emilia gave Muirsay a deep look.

Muirsay remained silent and did not answer.

After dinner, the two of them made an excuse to go for a walk, leaving Alicia and Eden alone with each other.

"Eden, you're not allowed to say those things again! You'll be alright! You're not allowed to die before I die!"

"Don't say the word 'death,' just get some rest tonight."

"Ok!"

Then, both Muirsey and Emilia heard soft, panting breaths coming from the room behind them.

"..."

Muirse didn't really understand why Alicia always liked those things. Not only Eden, but many magical girls had strange relationships with Alicia.

Ultimately, it's just the result of instincts and neurotransmitters within our genes.

"Let her be, we're here."

As if she could tell what Muirsey was thinking, Emilia suddenly spoke softly.

“Hmm,” Muirsay nodded.

This has been the case for so many years.

Emilia looked at the moonlight under the night sky. The moon was beautiful tonight, and the sky seemed much brighter. However, she saw that the dark clouds in the distance seemed to be gathering and would soon obscure the moonlight.

"About Eden... that's impossible, isn't it?"

Emilia suddenly said.

Muirsay did not answer.

The two walked quietly through the manor, admiring the beautiful scenery under the streetlights.

If Eden could truly have been prevented from becoming a witch, then she would no longer be a witch by now, yet nothing has changed.

"We don't know what the future holds."

Muirsey came to the lakeside and sighed as she leaned on the railing.

"The deus ex machina project is progressing smoothly, but I haven't received any information from the future, so it's possible that the project is actually impossible to achieve."

"Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problems. I found a lot of information and records about time machines in the Witch of Reason's database, including records of many time machine activations, and a huge amount of experimental data."

"...but nothing has changed."

Emilia comforted her.

"Perhaps things have actually changed? We just haven't noticed, since time travelers can easily evade our detection."

Maybe.

Muirsey had also considered the possibility that their timeline might have been altered.

However, because the theories and research on timelines were too superficial, Muirsay didn't know whether it was true or false.

"Should we proceed with the Seventh Witch as planned? Although Eden is currently fine, like Seele, we still need to ensure that if Eden encounters any problems, we can eliminate her immediately."

Although Emilia was equally saddened by Eden's transformation into a witch, she understood even more clearly that, powerless to change anything, she had to make a choice, no matter how painful it might be.

Because she knew that what she and Muirsey carried on their shoulders was the entirety of human civilization, the lives of billions of people.

The moment they grasped the highest power in human civilization, they were already aware of the heavy responsibility that lay with them.

"...Let's proceed according to plan."

Muirsey smiled slightly.

"With you and me, and with all those who support us, we will work together."

There won't be any problems.

Chapter 446 The Second Great Collapse (7)

next morning

Alicia slowly woke up to a pleasant fragrance wafting from beside her. She turned her head and saw Eden sleeping soundly next to her.

Seemingly noticing Alicia's gaze, Eden slowly woke up.

Eden

Alicia called softly.

"Xia"

Eden smiled slightly and said.

"Wait for me to come back"

Alicia grasped Eden's hand, looking at her with unwavering eyes.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

Eden nodded.

As the two women got up, the blankets slipped off their bodies, revealing large expanses of fair skin. However, the marks and marks indicated the intensity of the battle the previous night had taken.

After getting dressed, Alicia wanted to spend some more time with Eden, but the timer sound from the communicator made her look disappointed.

She checked the time; it was already 11 a.m., and there was only one hour left before she was supposed to leave.

"Eden! Wait for me!"

Alicia hugged Eden.

"Ok!"

After receiving Eden's response, Alicia quickly and lightly left the room.

Eden sat on the bed, quietly watching Alicia's departing figure.

I will wait for you.

"Soon, very soon we'll be together forever."

Eden reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"Humph!"

At that moment, a soft hum came from beside Eden.

Eden's eyes flickered slightly as she saw a window appear out of thin air in her room, and on the other side of the window, the Herrscher of Corruption, Aili, was staring at her menacingly.

"Eden, inherently evil!!!"

Alice witnessed everything last night! She was furious! She wished she could take Eden's place.

However, Eden was not angry at Ellie's words; instead, he gave her a predatory smile.

"?"

Ellie paused for a moment, staring at Eden with a slight frown.

She didn't quite understand what Eden wanted to do, but anyway.

“I will never give up my Alicia to you!” Alicia emphasized again.

"Hmm," Eden's smile returned to its elegant and perfect form.

This made Ellie even more confused. What exactly did Eden want to do?

However, Ellie didn't notice that when Eden looked at her beautiful face, which was exactly the same as Ellie's but contained both innocence and feigned strength, a hint of aggression flashed in Eden's eyes, and he involuntarily stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his lips.

This scene was witnessed by the other Herrschers.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Eden wants both of them."

"The two sisters are cut from the same mold."

The Lawyers whispered among themselves.

Mu Continent, former site of St. Freya Magical Girl Academy

Although it is the old site of the academy, it was rebuilt a long time ago. New magical girls from all over the world will first spend half a year studying here before heading to St. Freya Space City.
