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

She wasn't worried about the anti-aircraft shells hurting her, but Emilia's magic was depleted and her delicate body couldn't withstand it.

"strangeness"

Muirseth hid behind the tank wreckage, keeping a close eye on 0019, which was relentlessly bombarding Alicia.

"What did you find?" Joseph asked in a low voice.

He felt that today's experience was far too dangerous and chaotic, and the battlefield made him feel as if he had returned to the wars he had experienced when he was young.

However, this time the enemy was far beyond his imagination.

"These are all weapons made with technology, not magical weapons," Muirsey replied casually, preparing to give 0019 a hard time when the opportunity arose.

"Technology..." Joseph didn't know what magic was, but he was very familiar with technological weapons. But was that mech that could withstand saturation missile bombardment really something made with technology?

However, Joseph then saw the mangled corpses beside him. They were the witch's soldiers, but they had been killed by missiles. Most of their bodies had been reduced to ashes, but a few remains remained.

Beside the corpse that had lost its upper body was a gun. Joseph didn't recognize it, but that didn't stop him from picking it up and holding it in his hand. After a quick examination, he roughly knew how to use it, since it was still a gun. He also inadvertently noticed the condition of the corpse.

It wasn't human, but it looked very similar to a human, except it didn't have an upper body, so we don't know what it looked like.

This gave Joseph goosebumps and filled him with fear. It was something that looked like a human, yet wasn't, and had already slaughtered all of Moscow's population.

Although Muirsey noticed Joseph's actions, she didn't pay much attention to them, only telling him to be careful and then continuing to observe the situation on the battlefield.

At this moment, Alicia was dodging anti-aircraft guns while trying to attack Bronya, but all her attacks were blocked by the layer of black and red particles, and she couldn't hurt Bronya at all.

Alicia's magic power was also being depleted.

Bronya played along with Alicia like a cat toying with a mouse.

The rain that Muirsey was controlling kept falling, but it posed no danger. Bronya didn't care about the rain at all. As the countdown to the Iron Curtain was about to end, she casually put another layer of the Iron Curtain on herself.

Bronya's base in Moscow was indeed largely destroyed, including the Iron Curtain device, but who says she only had one? She built Iron Curtain devices at her other bases outside Moscow, and although there were only a few, they were just enough for Bronya to continuously cover the 0019 mech with the Iron Curtain.

Although the Iron Curtain device's duration is as short as in the game, Bronya can extend its duration by limiting it to a very small area, such as just her mech. By creating more Iron Curtains, she can achieve permanent invincibility.

When Bronya put the Iron Curtain back on, Muirsay finally noticed something amiss.

"Sia! I've discovered that the invincible particle layer isn't permanent; it has a limited duration! It's just that the witch has reactivated it."

"But the time between the particle layer's failure and reactivation is very short; we must seize this opportunity to hit that mech!"

Muirsey quickly used the communicator to contact and inform Alicia of her discovery.

In fact, it wasn't just Muirsey who noticed; Alicia also sensed it.

"Yes, I understand, but given our current situation..."

Alicia didn't finish her sentence, and continued to lead Emilia to evade Bronya's teasing attacks.

Muirsey also fell silent.

The situation is dire. Emilia's magic is exhausted, and Muels' magic is also nearly depleted after assisting Emilia. Alicia's magic is also decreasing rapidly, and they will soon run out of magic.

At this moment, Alicia and Muirse still had the magic to lead everyone away. She wanted to escape with everyone, and Bronya would have a hard time catching her. But next time, it wouldn't be so easy to directly face the witch.

The witch's army is developing at such a rapid and exaggerated pace that a second saturation missile bombardment is unlikely to have much of an impact on the prepared witch's army.

After a moment of silence, Alicia spoke with a helpless yet unwavering resolve.

"We...only have one chance!"

"Girls," Joseph said to Muirsey, gripping the rifle he had picked up.

The continuous shelling did not affect this no-longer-young man. His hand holding the rifle remained steady, and his weathered but still resolute gaze was fixed on the witch ravaging his homeland's capital.

"Besides being an excellent pilot, I'm also a decent sniper. Now I'm asking for your help."

Alicia and the others did not hesitate. In any case, the more effort they put in, the better their chances of success would be.

"it is good"

Chapter 368 The First Great Collapse (8) Bronya typed GG

Alicia stopped, and the anti-aircraft shells followed immediately, exploding into countless plumes of smoke outside the pink shield beside her. The special chemical substances inside the anti-aircraft shells underwent a violent chemical reaction in a short time, generating temperatures of thousands of degrees.

Although the generation time is very short, such high temperatures are enough to melt most metals, and the human body would be melted in an instant.

Alicia's magic was being rapidly depleted. She carefully protected Emilia, making her invisible and sending her to Muirseth's side, before braving anti-aircraft fire to rush towards Bronya.

"Oh? Coming straight at me? Instead of running away, you're actively approaching me?" Bronya noticed Alicia's actions and turned on the loudspeaker.

Alicia stared coldly at the arrogant witch before her, her hands clenched into fists.

The moment she arrived in Moscow, she felt the city's deathly silence and despair. The entire city of Moscow, with its more than ten million inhabitants, along with the surrounding cities, had become a ghost town; there was no one left alive.

"If I don't get closer, I won't be able to give you a proper beating!" Alicia's anger meter was already overflowing.

Ever since becoming a magical girl, she has been imagining what the enemies of magical girls would be like. Alicia even wondered if she should try to persuade the enemy to stop being a bad guy if the enemy was very beautiful.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she never imagined that the witch would slaughter all the living people in a large city in less than a day.

Such evil has exceeded Alicia's tolerance limit.

Even though the witch is indeed very beautiful and is in Alicia's strike zone, she has no interest in her at the moment. All Alicia wants is to completely seal away or kill the witch!

Bronya looked at the icy Alicia with amusement, but she was also a little dazed. However, Bronya quickly came to her senses.

"So, you think I'd engage you in close combat?!"

After saying that, a metal wing unfolded from the back of the Heavy Bunny 0019 mech, and a fierce tail flame shot out from the metal wing, and Bronya instantly soared into the sky.

She looked down at Alicia on the ground, and all the weapons on the mecha were deployed. Twelve floating cannons flew out from the legs of the mecha and circled in the sky, their muzzles aimed at Alicia; the two Iron Curtain Particle Impact Cannons on her shoulders were also ready to fire; the beam cannon on the left hand, the magnetic energy cannon on the right hand, and the anti-aircraft cannon on the back were all aimed at Alicia.

Alicia remained fearless and raised her bow and arrow, aiming it at Bronya in the sky.

"Goodbye," Bronya declared with a smile.

"Heavy Bunny 0019, fire!!!"

Muirsey silently clenched her fists, and the rain that had enveloped Bronya instantly turned into streams of water, while a bullet flew out of the barrel at that moment.

The Iron Curtain device was almost out of time, but Bronya didn't care; she had already won!

A strange sound suddenly rang out.

Before Bronya could react, she suddenly realized that the Reloaded Bunny 0019 seemed to have malfunctioned and had not fired.

"Fire!" Bronya shouted again.

But there was still no response. She immediately realized what was happening and tried to reattach the mech to the Iron Curtain device, but it was too late.

Muirsey manipulated the water flowing onto the mech, which had already infiltrated the core nuclear fusion reactor of the Heavy Bunny 0019 mech.

Muirse didn't understand these things, but that didn't stop her from directly detonating the magic in the water. At the same time, the magic contained in the bullet that had failed to penetrate the mech but happened to be stuck in the gap of the mech also detonated.

Such a magical explosion would hardly have any effect on Bronya's mecha, but that was on the outside of the mecha. However, the water flow controlled by Muirseth seeped into the inside of the mecha, and even into its core. In addition, there were magical bullets stuck in the gaps of the mecha. Under the combined effect, Bronya's mecha was directly thrown from the sky and fell shakily in a series of explosions.

"Damn it!" Bronya was furious, but given a little time, she could use Honkai energy to repair her mecha, and after donning the Iron Curtain, she could return to her invincible state!

However, Alicia had been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time.

The pink glow was so dazzling that it bombarded the falling mech one after another, piercing through its outer shell and hitting Bronya.

Bronya gritted her teeth and tried to mobilize her more than 3000 HW of Honkai energy. She hadn't lost yet!

Alicia almost exhausted all her magic power, putting all her effort into condensing an ordinary pink arrow. The moment she released it and the arrow flew out, the exhausted Alicia almost lost her balance. But at that moment, the crystal flower hair ornament on her head flew into Alicia's hand and turned into a gorgeous pink staff, which supported her and prevented her from falling.

Looking at the ordinary pink arrow flying towards her, Bronya gave a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Hey, is it possible to reconcile?"

An even more dazzling pink light burst forth in front of Alicia, its radiance illuminating almost the entire city and even visible to the naked eye from outer space. Satellites from various countries in space captured this scene.

"I'm...sorry, I...have no intention of...close...combat..." Alicia was almost too weak to speak, but she still managed to force a smile as she watched the fading pink glow.

She had the last laugh.

"It's already gone, isn't it?" the pink fairy said with a smile.

"Sia!" Emilia rushed over and saw that Alicia was so weak that she was about to collapse. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Alicia. The pink fairy also transformed back into a crystal flower.

Alicia also leaned against Emilia's fragrant and soft body.

The alluring fragrance seemed to lift Alicia's spirits considerably.

"Get some rest," Emilia gently stroked Alicia's long pink hair.

"Mmm," Alicia hummed softly, falling asleep in Emilia's arms.

Joseph told Muirsey what was going on, and then returned to his home in Moscow. Although his home was fortunate enough not to be completely destroyed, even if it hadn't been destroyed, there would have been no survivors.

Muelseth's magic wasn't completely depleted. She went to the place where the witch had been killed, but she didn't see the witch's body. Instead, she saw a white rhombus-shaped gem on the wreckage of the mecha. The evil magic contained within it was extremely powerful, which even made Muelseth wonder if they had really killed the witch. But there was indeed no trace of the witch anymore.

But does a witch possess such immense evil magic? Why haven't we seen her use it? That's really strange.

Even after picking up the white rhombus-shaped gem, Muirsay was still completely baffled.

However, after picking up the gem, Muirsey sensed that it possessed a certain...

“Power? The power of reason?” Muirseth finally realized why the witch had such a large army and why she had been using technological weapons.

"The witch who controls the principles of science, the Witch of Reason"

Sensing the immense evil magic, complex scientific and technological information, command authority over the witch army, and power to control the principles of science contained within the Witch of Reason's Gem, Muirseth realized just how powerful their enemy truly was.

But isn't this guy a little... uh, not quite right in the head?

"Hiss, is she not improving at all?" Sirin looked at all this in shock.

Seele covered her face, unable to bear the sight. When she saw Bronya being arrogant and planning to play around, Seele already had a bad feeling, but she couldn't directly warn her.

Moreover, Seele actually believed Bronya still had a significant advantage: abundant Honkai energy, powerful mechs, an invincible Iron Curtain, and a massive army. But Seele truly didn't expect that Bronya would just... concede defeat so easily.

The other Herrschers all remained silent, staring in unison at Bronya, the first to appear after being teleported back, who was instantly defeated.

How long has it been? From the start to the end of the first Great Collapse, it seems like less than a day has passed, right? Is it really over already?

Bronya had completely turned gray and was squatting in a corner drawing circles.

Chapter 369 Investigations in Various Countries

Investigators from around the world who were urgently dispatched to Russia found many dead cities. Everything was still there, but all the humans had disappeared, or more accurately, dissolved.

Within the city's surveillance network, personnel from various countries witnessed a more detailed situation. When the unknown army arrived in the local city, it brought with it a special vehicle capable of constructing numerous buildings. They erected a statue in the city, seemingly of a woman. However, after the statue was completed, the city's inhabitants were rapidly dissolved in the surveillance footage, while the army continued its advance towards the next city.

Many people looked at the empty streets and felt a sense of fear after learning what had happened.

The surveillance footage captured the detailed appearance of the unknown army. They looked like people, yet they were not human at all. Their appearances were so exquisite that they did not resemble humans. Every move they made was like that of a puppet, and they were frantically slaughtering humans.

Such images instilled immense fear in many investigators.

However, that army that resembled humans but was not human has disappeared; only the bases they established still bear witness to their existence.

After the battle in Moscow ended, countries around the world immediately sent people to Moscow in an attempt to contact the girls seen in the satellite images. However, Moscow airport had been covered by buildings, and the surrounding area was full of deserted cities, so most people could only fly to Moscow by helicopter.

On the morning of the second day after the end of the Battle of Moscow, a joint investigation team composed of various countries finally arrived in the center of Moscow.

What exactly happened here?

One investigator looked at the deserted street, which resembled a battlefield, and asked in a hesitant tone, but the other investigators did not respond.

Other countries know that the remaining Russian high command once launched a large number of missiles at their own capital, but the specifics of what happened cannot be deduced from the limited information available. Even the remaining Russian high command does not know much, only that an evil witch slaughtered Moscow and many other cities, causing the deaths of more than 3 million people in just one day.

If the witch hadn't been killed in time, and her army hadn't been wiped out, no one would have known whether humanity could have defeated that terrifying witch.

Fortunately, the witch died, saving Europe and the rest of the world from a catastrophe.

The three girls who killed the witch aroused great curiosity and interest from countries around the world. Could such power really be possessed by humans?

However, due to the scarcity of clues, countries around the world, except for the people of Mu Continent, were unclear about the situation of the three girls.

After investigating flights to Moscow and observing satellite footage, the Mu Continent people discovered the identities of Alicia and the others. However, the Mu Continent people did not make a big fuss about it, but quickly prepared to contact them. They would probably return to Mu Continent to study sooner or later.

Now, an investigation team composed of people from all over the world has arrived in Moscow.

They arrived at the center of the battlefield immediately.

"This is a formidable, modern army," some people quickly concluded after seeing the wreckage of military equipment on the battlefield. Although Moscow was largely destroyed by saturation missile bombardment due to the Russians' madness, there were still considerable traces left.

Based on speculation and satellite reconnaissance footage, the troops stationed here should consist of several powerful, modern combined arms divisions, whose weaponry is comparable to that of modern nations. Other aspects are currently unknown, but more importantly, this modern combined arms division appeared in less than a day.

More precisely, within a single day, an army of over 1 appeared on Moscow soil and quickly dispersed to massacre many cities.

This army was created by that unknown witch.
