If such a massive army can be formed in just one day, what if it exceeds a million troops in ten days? Or even more? There's simply no way to win!
Investigators also found the location where the witch died, where there was also the wreckage of a highly technologically advanced mecha. The investigation team even started fighting over the wreckage.
As for the ice golems seen on satellite, well, those large ice blocks have long since melted away. Apart from some satellite photos, the investigators on site never actually saw those ice golems that appeared to be magical creations.
For the investigators and the countries behind them, the destroyed base in Moscow, as well as the bases built by the witch's army elsewhere, are of greater importance. They seem capable of producing a lot of weapons and equipment, and are now being explored and investigated by various countries, who want to possess them.
However, investigators from several major countries quickly determined that the unknown individuals who killed the witch were likely still in Moscow.
The investigation team quickly regrouped, and if one could ignore the wreckage parts they were secretly carrying, they actually looked quite like professionals.
At this time, the Palace of Truth was also severely damaged during the Russians' frenzied bombing, but it was mostly only damaged on the outside, and the statues on the top were intact.
Alicia and her group are currently resting in the Palace of Truth. There's no other way; many parts of Moscow have been destroyed by saturation missile bombardment, and many of the buildings in Moscow have been demolished by the witch's army and replaced with other buildings, making it look like a place that is not habitable at all.
Alicia and the others needed to rest, so they had no choice but to rest at the Palace of Truth.
Although the palace was built by the witch in what seemed like a very short time, it was extremely artistic and magnificent.
In a room, Alicia slowly opened her eyes. She saw the silver-haired girl sleeping soundly beside her, whom she was holding in her arms, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Seemingly sensing Alicia's burning gaze, Emilia slowly woke up and met Alicia's deep blue eyes.
"What's wrong?" The silver-haired girl's face flushed slightly.
"How are you recovering?" Muirsey's voice came from behind.
Emilia and Alicia turned their heads at the same time and saw Muirses looking out the window.
"Fortunately, our magic has recovered somewhat," Alicia and Emilia replied quickly.
“Investigation teams from various countries have arrived. Should we tell them the details?” Muirsey asked the two girls.
“Hmm, go ahead and tell me.” Alicia didn’t think too much about it. She had already planned to tell the humans everything, and besides, the witch had caused so much bloodshed that it was impossible to hide it.
However, Emilia had a different opinion. She also agreed to tell the world about the witch, but she did not want people to know about the Witch of Reason's Gem.
After the witch was killed yesterday, Muels disbanded the soldiers in the witch army, leaving only the various buildings and weapons. Then, he let Alicia and the others come into contact with the Witch of Reason's Gem. Alicia and Emilia learned about the existence of the power of scientific reason.
Emilia is worried that the power of the authority is too great and might be used by bad people. If a second Witch of Reason appears, it will not be easy to defeat her.
Chapter 370 can be omitted, but it cannot be absent.
However, when it comes to the matter of the Witch of Reason's Gem, Alicia and the other two have different ideas.
"While I understand Amy's concerns, what if other types of witches appear in the future? We can't always easily defeat witches, and besides, if it weren't for the Russians' help this time, we would have had a hard time facing the Witch of Reason directly."
Alicia looked at Emilia and Muirse with a serious expression.
"We need to unite humanity to face the threat of the witches. If we conceal the existence of the Witch of Reason's Gem this time, what happens after we defeat the other witches? We might not be able to keep the other witches' gems a secret."
"When that time comes, people will know that we hid the Witch of Reason's Gem. What should we do then?"
"Moreover, we will need other magical girl companions in the future. Magical girls are all human. Are we going to separate magical girls from humans?"
Emilia's ears turned red upon hearing Alicia's words.
She had already realized that there was something slightly wrong with her idea.
As Alicia said, concealing the Witch of Reason's Jewel isn't actually difficult, because humanity currently knows nothing about witches and has no idea what caused this incident. However, if other witches appear and are defeated in the future, it could easily trigger such a problem. Even if they successfully conceal it again, they can't keep it a secret forever; humanity will find out sooner or later. At that time, the magical girls will have to deal with both witches and human hostility.
This is a situation that Alicia does not want to see. What she wants to see and hopes to see is magical girls and humans fighting side by side without distinction, together against the witch.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think of those things."
Emilia apologized immediately.
"Hey, it's okay." Alicia reached out and hugged Emilia, happily nuzzling her cute face.
"Amy is already pretty amazing. There are indeed some bad people who use the Witch of Reason's Gem for evil purposes. Therefore, we must use the Witch of Reason's Gem with caution. Its powers, knowledge, army, and magic must be kept separately by different people."
Alicia understood very well that the power of the Witch of Reason's Gem was very strong and dangerous, but it could also bring many good things to people; however, it must be used with caution.
Power is the power to control the principles of science; knowledge is the vast amount of scientific and technological data left in the gem by the Witch of Reason; the army is the command authority of the army left behind by the Witch of Reason; and the magic is the evil magic that the Witch of Reason transformed into tens of millions of people.
These are all things that could bring about earth-shattering changes to human civilization, so Alicia tends to distribute them among different people for safekeeping.
The powers are actually not too bad; only those who possess the Witch of Reason's Gem can use them.
The knowledge within the gems can be exported to storage devices. Although it possesses the power of scientific reasoning, this knowledge could also remain within the gems. However, Alicia tried, and she discovered that she couldn't use her power to research new technologies because she lacked the necessary knowledge. Much of the knowledge within the gems seemed to have been researched by the Witch of Reason, and it was extremely advanced.
Similarly, the command of the army can be delegated to others, allowing them to manage the army left behind by the Witch of Reason. However, this army is also extremely powerful, capable of creating massive armies in a very short time, including weapons, tanks, aircraft, and warships. Furthermore, the special buildings within the army are technological black boxes, possessing sufficient resources and energy to manufacture virtually anything with a blueprint, including cloned soldiers.
That immense evil magic power had to be kept by Alicia herself, because only the pink fairy could purify it into pure magic power that would not cause any harm to humans.
"No"
But Muirsay suddenly spoke up.
"We can't let others manage these things."
Alicia looked at Muirsay with a puzzled expression.
"We'll keep them separately!"
Muirse looked directly at Alicia and Emilia.
"Huh?" Alicia was a little confused, but quickly came to her senses.
"You mean, one for you, one for me, and one for her?"
Muirsay nodded.
“Xia, we can’t guarantee that others are saints and that they won’t use these things recklessly after they get them.”
We cannot test people's hearts!
"Whether it's power, knowledge, military, or magic, none of these are simple things; any one of them could easily reignite a world war."
"Moreover, what we need is to unite to deal with the witch. If humanity breaks out into a large-scale civil war, how can we unite to deal with the witch?"
Muirsay said firmly.
"We grew up together and have always lived together. We are both magical girls. Only by having each of us keep the power of the Witch of Reason safe can we use it to the maximum extent against the witch."
Alicia didn't immediately refute, but she didn't agree outright either; she fell into deep thought.
"But if people knew that we wielded these powers belonging to witches, they would probably be very worried and afraid. In that case, they might reject and hate magical girls."
Alicia doesn't want magical girls to be suspected or distrusted by people. She also wants many beautiful, cute, and capable girls to become magical girls and face the witch crisis together.
Muels then looked at Emilia, who nodded in agreement, clearly showing that Emilia was more in favor of Muels's idea. However, Emilia did not express her opinion directly.
Although the three women are as close as sisters, they have different opinions on many things, and on some matters, Alicia's ideas are completely different from those of Muirsey and Emilia.
"Sia, do you really think that magical girls won't be suspected by people without the witches' powers?" Muirseth stepped forward and took Alicia's hand.
Alicia was actually aware of this issue. Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to think that people wouldn't suspect magical girls. However, she also believed that magical girls were human, and humans could also be magical girls. Humans and magical girls were not separate entities.
Hmm, if it's a boy, then it should be called a magical boy?
In short, Alicia harbors a deep desire to one day extend the power of magic to every human being. Magic is a beautiful inner force, not something dangerous. Alicia believes that the existence of magic can make humanity a better place.
However, reality also tells Alicia that only a small number of people are qualified to become magical girls, which inevitably leads to envy and jealousy among those who cannot become magical girls.
However, Alicia believes that this should not separate the concepts of magical girls and humans. The power of magic is not only usable by magical girls; it can actually be stored and accessed and used by others.
"But witches cause great harm to people, which is why we can't let magical girls control their powers."
"It's easier for magical girls to arouse suspicion among humans who have been slaughtered by witches if they use the power of witches."
Alicia explained patiently.
“Power has no distinction between evil and justice; it is determined by the person who wields it,” Muirsay said slowly.
"The witch uses her power to kill people, and we can also use the witch's power to help people."
"Furthermore, if people continue to control the witches' power, what happens after the witches are completely eradicated? Should we trust those who possess the witches' power?"
"Sia, I'll say it again: we can't test people's hearts!"
Alicia pursed her lips and looked at Muirses, blurting out the answer instantly.
I know we can't test people's hearts!
"But will humans believe us then?! You're worried that humans will gain the power of witches and become new witches! But I'm also worried that magical girls will gain the power of witches and become new witches!"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Alicia and Muirse looked at each other, neither of them willing to back down.
Emilia felt somewhat helpless but used to it; their disagreements weren't new.
Although she initially disagreed with allowing humans to come into contact with and possess the powers of witches, Emilia was already considering the various scenarios that might occur while Muleseth and Alicia were discussing it.
The power of witches can destroy humanity. If humans possess it alone, it's hard to say whether they would also consider magical girls as witches. If magical girls possess it themselves, then magical girls and humans would become two completely different species.
Magical girls are ultimately born from humans.
Emilia believes that human assistance was a crucial factor in their successful defeat of the Witch of Reason. Without the decisiveness and madness of the remaining Russian high command who destroyed the armies and bases surrounding the Witch of Reason, the Witch of Reason would not have been able to fight them alone.
But magical girls are also an important part; without them immediately flying to Moscow upon discovering the witch's appearance, the Witch of Reason would not have been killed within a day.
If each side were to deal with the Witch of Reason individually, it would be almost impossible to kill her.
Of course, more importantly, the Witch of Reason herself was stupid.
Therefore, the current situation can only maintain a balance.
"We can choose not to use the witch's power, but we cannot live without it."
Emilia's voice was still gentle, but her tone was more firm.
"Humans cannot defeat witches alone, just as we cannot defeat witches alone."
She gazed at Alicia and Muirses, her two dearest sisters.
"Power can be given to humans, but the army and magic of the Witches of Reason will be under our own control."
After hearing Emilia's idea, Alicia and Muirse nodded silently.
Emilia then added, her purple eyes filled with a smile.
"Don't worry, power is power, how to use it is another matter. The Witch of Reason is the best example."
They winked at each other playfully, and then couldn't help but laugh.
The three women's melodious, bell-like voices echoed lightly in the room.
Chapter 371 Initial Alliance
The investigation teams sent to Moscow by various countries consisted of about thirty people. At this moment, they were all sitting in a large conference hall in the Palace of Truth, brainstorming.
What is a magical girl?
They searched for ages, and the person who dealt with that witch was a magical girl?!
But it seems pretty normal, doesn't it? Magical girls fighting witches, it's only natural... Am I going crazy? Or has the world gone mad? How did magical girls even appear out of nowhere??
However, after seeing Alicia and the others transform into magical girls in gorgeous gowns, most of the survey team members were already in a panic.
On the stage of the solemn conference hall, three magical girls, whose style was completely out of place, watched with great interest the adults in front of them, whose worldviews had been shattered.
"Speaking of which, we didn't transform when we fought the Witch of Reason, did we?" Emilia whispered.
Emilia and Muirsey smiled gently.
When they were dealing with the Witch of Reason, they naturally didn't transform into the real magical girls wearing gorgeous gowns.
Because they have to conserve their magic, they certainly wouldn't waste it on building elaborate gowns like they do now.
However, when facing the members of the investigation teams sent by various countries around the world, Alicia immediately decided to go all out and let those adults in the investigation team experience what the charm of a magical girl is all about.
Sure enough, after Alicia and the other two girls transformed on the spot, they found that the members of the investigation team had already begun to seriously notify and contact people in their own country to investigate what exactly a magical girl was.
"It's quite interesting," Muirsey thought to herself, amused as she watched the investigation team members, who had initially looked very serious and earnest, reveal strange expressions upon learning the details of the magical girl.
When the members of the investigation team went to the Palace of Truth, Muirse naturally took them directly to the meeting hall, and then transformed into a magical girl to tell them about the events of the day.
Just after midnight, the Witch of Reason appeared, farmed the jungle to accumulate magic power, encountered a magical girl, was bombarded, decided to play a trick on her, felt she had a great advantage, attacked, and then typed GG.
These people had no choice but to believe it, because this spectacle, which clearly would have taken years to build, was completed in just a few hours, and tens of millions of people in Moscow and other cities were wiped out, leaving Moscow resembling a battlefield.
However, it's still too strange that a witch's opponent is a magical girl.

"Ladies, why are you so insistent on meeting with world leaders and talking to them?" someone asked curiously.
