Chapter 529 - 169: The Truth of the World
Though the Disaster Beast was still struggling, Zi Yuan put the Disaster Beast to sleep with two punches, and it was quietly dragged inside.
Then, one saw Zi Yuan start dismembering the Disaster Beast at her leisure.
Not wanting to waste even a trace of its power, which was in the millions.
The Hatcher’s eyelid twitched slightly and continued, "However, the Awakening Moment broke this."
"In a world with humans, every time it reaches a certain stage of development, there will inevitably be a frequent occurrence of Disaster Beasts, maybe every few decades, or several thousands or tens of thousands of years; once it occurs, Disaster Beasts could appear anywhere in the world, including places isolated by information barriers."
"And the cause of this disaster isn’t some earth-shattering conspiracy, it’s just because."
"The world yearns for rebirth."
Boom!
This time, the Hatcher was numb to the situation, not even turning his head.
With a bit of helplessness, Bingtang laughed while covering her forehead.
Yu Mo tilted her head to look, seeing the Sect Master catch another big fish... no, a large Disaster Beast, and clapped her hands in admiration.
This monster treats spatial turbulence as a fishing ground.
The Hatcher maintained a smile:
"Creation is born from destruction. The new world’s infancy desires to break out of its cocoon; this desire is the world’s rule, guiding the birth of Disaster Beasts. Disaster Beasts are the world’s power, and the world will annihilate humans and all living creatures."
"This is the Awakening Moment of the new world."
The two Disaster Beasts howled as they died, being frantically dug open by Zi Yuan, filthy magic power splattering like blood!
Whether the Awakening Moment has arrived or not is unknown; it feels as if the end times are coming.
"And the evil thoughts generated in places where Magical Girls’ memories were erased won’t disappear. Instead, they will continue to accumulate, only to erupt again after the Awakening Moment. The accumulated efforts over the years would spawn extremely powerful Disaster Beasts, becoming the spearhead of the world’s will. I call such Disaster Beasts the Enemy of the New World."
"Once the Awakening Moment arrives, all miracles awakened by Magical Girls, and even ordinary people, will become weapons against Disaster Beasts, and a grueling marathon against them must ensue, until all is protected, enduring through the Awakening Moment, letting the new world’s desire fall silent."
Over there, Zi Yuan finally settled down and dug out the Seed of Sorrow from the Disaster Beast’s body, swallowing it directly.
The Hatcher seemed to choke momentarily, coughing a couple of times.
"What if we don’t endure?" Bingtang asked.
The Hatcher quickly replied, "Then there’ll be a painless demise."
"There wouldn’t be any emotions left in a world that died losing miracles and hope, only endless remnants remain. It’s not only human emotions but all energy that could be produced would turn into remnants, all living creatures no longer feeling pain until the final entity arrives, destroying everything."
Yu Mo tilted her head, somewhat curious:
"The final entity? How powerful is it?"
The Hatcher finally returned to calm:
"Terrifying despair, massive human evil."
A shocking statement — regardless of how mature a Magical Girl is, it will either shock her or make her panic.
Yet the two girls in front, one is absent-minded, and the other is indifferent.
Bingtang even laughed, "Is that it? I thought it was earth-shattering secrets, but it turns out to be the theory of human original sin."
"Annoying, oh so annoying." Yu Mo immediately mustered her courage, mimicking the Sect Master’s demeanor, chiming in.
The Hatcher fell into silence.
He thought only that witch was special.
These two in front aren’t simple either!
Bingtang continued to ask, "I just want to know now, these gray Magical Girls, are they from the Mirror Country? The Mirror Country, is it the already dead Old World?"
The Hatcher finally showed a smile again, "They are not from the Mirror World, but indeed originate from other dead Old Worlds. Besides the Mirror World, there are many, many other Old Worlds that have already died. These worlds, unable to endure the Awakening Moment, became remnants; although they have died, their inhabitants weren’t so easily deceased, and many desperately sought ways to save their own world."
"The result is them." The Hatcher spoke gently, "Old remnants unwilling for their remnants to perish like this, continuously seeking opportunities in this world, stealing the essence, aiming to revive their remnants. The ghosts accompanied by remnants, hauntingly wandering in the new world in hideous forms, are what’s referred to as World Ghosts."
"What a pitiful sight, truly not wanting my beloved world to become remnants, hence my mission is with the Disaster Strategy Bureau to prevent these old remnants and the World Ghosts with remnants from stealing the essence of this world, preventing this world from being dragged down by the World Ghosts."
The Hatcher stood up and walked a couple of steps, coming near that pile of ash, "Therefore, I say we are not enemies but are allies sharing the same stance. Join me in protecting this world, Magical Girls."
Looking at the smiling Hatcher, Bingtang was still contemplating what other questions to ask.
From afar, Zi Yuan leisurely asked, "So, if we can suppress the Awakening Moment, kill off the World Ghosts, the world will never die?"
After a silence, the Hatcher smiled and said, "Theoretically, yes."
Bingtang quickly reacted, "What about outside theory?"
"There’ll always be accidents, such as the world’s essence being stolen, or the number of Full Blooms being insufficient, or the feedback from Full Bloom’s essence being insufficient, various accidents leading to the integrity of the world’s essence being compromised, resulting in the world’s rules struggling to suppress the new world’s desire." The Hatcher had no intentions to hide anything, "By then, with increasingly powerful Enemies of the New World, humanity would find it challenging to resist the Awakening Moment, and the world becoming remnants would merely be a matter of time. However, as long as we all work together to protect this world, it can indefinitely delay the world’s death."
Bingtang no longer said anything, only gazed at her Sect Master.
The one to truly make the decision, after all, is Zi Yuan.
"I have only one question."
Zi Yuan kicked the machine beside her, "If these gray remnants aren’t from the Mirror World, then from which world do they originate?"
The Hatcher’s round black eyes finally showed delight, "Them, they originate from the Sixth Old Day. The Sixth Old Day barely has any space left for survival, not even really counting as remnants. They struggle within gaps, constantly attacking powerful Magical Girls, trying to seize the essence of Full Bloom Magical Girls, which is the rule of the Psychic Realm, to save their world. But in reality, this is destroying our world."
"For our world, eliminating them is the duty of Magical Girls. So glad you are willing to join us in the venture of saving the world..."
"Don’t get it wrong."
The witch Zi Yuan sneered, "Our Demon Path has no interest in saving the world."
"Dare to provoke us, destroy Beihai City, no matter who they are, or where they come from."
The fierce aura made the Hatcher tremble and lay down.
A voice full of killing intent rippled through the spatial turbulence:
"The Cyan Cloud Sect will definitely grind them into dust!"
It’s mainly because we don’t understand what it’s saying.
Slay first, talk later.
