Chapter 528 - 169: The Truth of the World
"Are you going to talk for a long time?"
Zi Yuan interrupted it again.
The Hatcher fell into rare silence.
"Give me a condensed version..."
Lord Bingtang quickly tugged at Zi Yuan, "Sect Master, could you please check if there are any other Hatchers nearby? Maybe there are other people around; leave the Hatcher’s intel to us, and I’ll simplify it for you later."
Zi Yuan’s expression finally softened a bit, "That works."
Watching Zi Yuan rise and leave, the Hatcher couldn’t help but ask, "Is she a child?"
Yu Mo promptly denied it, "No, no, the Sect Master is very mature! It’s just that she’s a bit lacking in patience."
"Lack of patience is typical of children..."
"I’m losing patience now too." Bingtang tapped the ground, a chill enveloping the Hatcher, trapping it, "Get to the point."
The Hatcher nodded, "Alright, it seems I’ve been too verbose, let’s get back to the topic at hand..."
Boom!
Nearby, the Witch Zi Yuan punched through the spatial barrier, even poking her head into the spatial turbulence outside.
The Hatcher fell off the ruins, glancing over at Zi Yuan, who was wantonly destroying the space.
It opened its mouth, wanting to say something.
But Yu Mo and Bingtang were watching coldly, so it ended up coughing slightly and continued, "In short, a Magical Girl is not an individual’s miracle, but a miracle born from the gathered wishes of many beings, manifesting in one person in the form of a Magical Girl, condensing into a seed."
"The filthy Magic Power, however, isn’t just that; although it also condenses the lamentations of many into a seed, the birth mechanism of a Disaster Beast is more complex."
"However, whether it’s human emotions or wishes, they ultimately exist depending on the world; the power you use is essentially a gift from the world—future, hope, rules. The beloved Magical Girls gain everything from the world, and finally, they repay the world with Full Bloom."
"For my kind, it’s not that they need the power of a Full Bloom Magical Girl; rather, since you use the world’s power, it ultimately needs to be returned to the world. That’s also why when a Full Bloom Magical Girl appears, they enter a life countdown. I do regret the death of an excellent Magical Girl, but fortunately, not everyone needs to repay. As long as there’s one Full Bloom Girl, she can repay the debt for many Magical Girls, ensuring the world’s integrity."
The Hatcher tilted its head, displaying a kind smile, "Ensuring each era has a Full Bloom Magical Girl to repay the world’s gift is the duty of the Hatchers. And for me, the world’s integrity better helps everyone resist the Old Days and the [Awakening Moment]."
Yu Mo listened, sneaking a glance and finding Lord Bingtang expressionless, just deep in thought.
Because the Hatcher caused Magical Girls to Full Bloom, leading to their death, the Hatcher is bad.
How could it be a good thing?
For Yu Mo, her simple worldview was challenged.
"Continue." Bingtang raised her chin, "Next, it’s time to talk about emotional residue."
"I’ve encountered many Magical Girls; few are as wise as you. Generally speaking, Magical Girls..."
The Hatcher intended to praise the other to smoothen relations, but there was another tremor next door.
It tilted its body, paused from the shake, then glanced over to see the Witch already charging outside into the spatial turbulence...
Somewhat stunned, it stared wide-eyed, forgetting what it was going to say for a moment.
No, can you just run around in spatial turbulence?
It doesn’t recall Magical Girls and Witches freely traversing spaces without related rule abilities?
Just a period without contact with the cluster, what happened?
Have the world’s Magical Girls and Witches mutated?
However, watching sparks pop from the Witch’s Magic Armor as it clashed with the spatial turbulence, yet harming not a bit.
The Hatcher tried several times to turn its head, trying to continue speaking with Bingtang and Yu Mo, but failed...
No, it’s really hard not to be drawn to this crazy witch.
"So what’s next, can we speed it up?"
Bingtang’s voice came through, and the Hatcher finally turned its head back, continuing, "What do you think the [Awakening Moment] refers to?"
"Disaster Beasts are born from human malice, Magical Girls from human wishes, and people’s memories of Magical Girls further stimulate greater negative emotions, becoming prime Disaster Beast fodder. In other words, Magical Girls and Disaster Beasts are symbiotic; where Magical Girls exist, Disaster Beasts are birthed."
"In general rationality, countering it prevents most Disaster Beasts from being born, and that’s what’s practically done. If a city’s Disaster Beasts stop appearing for a long time, the Disaster Strategy Bureau arranges for the Magical Girl to withdraw while setting up an information distortion barrier to eliminate real information about Magical Girls from the city."
"People carrying memories in won’t remember the related memories until they leave, even if those living there search online, they won’t find any information. This countermeasure is highly effective, with many cities maintaining peace for decades, which is now common knowledge."
The Hatcher, wanting to say more, was interrupted by another tremor.
Bingtang and Yu Mo turned to see Zi Yuan pulling a giant Disaster Beast from the spatial turbulence!
