Dad, Please Let Me Be Your One-and-Only Fan!

Charlotte had created a spell within the Forget-me-not, the effect of which was that Chu Yuanqing could share the space she had marked and store things within it.

Hmm, this setup makes it look a bit like a couple's space.

Chu Yuanqing left behind [Echoes of the Past] in the Tumi, and if necessary, he could have the other party cosplay as the young Savior, pick up the illusory Laevateinn, and see if the Disaster God in the forbidden area would react to it.

Aside from that, the most crucial effect will undoubtedly fall on the lantern itself.

Chu Yuanqing sat up, took out a lantern from a crevice in the snow mountain, placed it in the sunlight, and looked up at the slightly curved surface that emitted Rainbow Light.

This is the repaired part; the rest is all mottled, broken, and dull.

The girl's mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts.

Although this Magic Replenishment almost entirely relied on the emotions accumulated over many years of reunion, and even included the buff of purity offered by each other, there were still marginal effects.

The lantern's restoration was approximately 9% complete, granting her 9% of the Pure White Witch's normal strength. Her magic power increased by the same factor, greatly enhancing her power and allowing her to barely unleash Forbidden Spell like [Holy Judgment Ten Strokes].

Of that 9%, 1% came from the initial Magic Replenishment at the coffee shop, and the remaining 8% climbed up shortly after the start of last night. However, in the subsequent hours of activity, no matter how much the mana evaporated and interacted, or how much the waves and joy within the soul sublimated, it was impossible to reach 10%.

That's understandable.

After all, a 1% permanent bonus means having a buff that can constantly repair 1% of your soul.

Even Charlotte, the officially designated Saintess, could only maintain this number after sacrificing her purity and most sincere love.

Chu Yuanqing guessed that there was another barrier above that required truly shaking the curse of the Sea of Truth and fundamentally changing the predicament of the spiritual realm being eroded; otherwise, 9% would be the real limit.

In other words, the main purpose of Magic Replenishment with the Little Idol in the future is to consolidate the repair progress of the lantern. If you want to wait for other surprises to appear, you can only wait until everyone has [Flower Bloom] before stacking the buff of group activities.

Chu Yuanqing glanced at the sunlight outside the window and murmured to himself:

"The limits of my soul have been amplified; theoretically, my lifespan has been extended by three months."

"But... while completing the Magic Replenishment, the pressure on [Pure White] suddenly increased significantly, causing these 90 days to be merely a nominal number, and still decreasing constantly."

"Therefore, the actual effect of the last 90 days may only be 9 days, or even less."

"Moreover, just like the repair progress of the lantern, it also has a diminishing marginal effect. Unless there is another more effective Magic Replenishment, the limits of the soul will not be raised again, and therefore it will not be able to affect lifespan."

In conclusion, Magic Replenishment may extend life, but the requirements are extremely demanding and the process is highly unpredictable.

Chu Yuanqing did not feel disappointed.

Since the truth about the Flash Dance project came to light and Astrid extended the invitation to [The Lighthouse], she has become quite indifferent to the limits of her lifespan.

The official timeline for the collapse of [Pure White] has been obtained. To ensure that no accidents occur, <Flashdance> will definitely announce the final chapter of this project to the world before the deadline.

Simply put, she had decided to die on that stage.

The reason we still care about lifespan is fourfold: first, for Charlotte; second, for my Little Cotton-padded Jacket; third, for the other Little Idol in the group; and fourth, to buy more time for all of humanity.

Only...

Charlotte will be very disappointed, won't she?

Chu Yuanqing looked at the traces of someone lying on the other side. She gently stroked the sheets, which still retained some warmth. The other person's fragrance lingered in her nostrils, like delicate jasmine or fresh morning dew. In a daze, she could even feel the passion of last night, as intense as roses.

It's strange, we've only been apart for less than an hour, but I can't help missing you again.

St. Stephen's Cathedral, crypt.

This Super AI is examining the data, accessing satellites and various countries to conduct a detailed analysis and investigation of the drastic changes that have occurred in [Pure White].

Last night, the long-silent, Pure White High Wall, which the world had grown accustomed to, was suddenly tinged with a wondrous iridescent Rainbow Light. The main theme was a gradient of blue, mixed with jet black, cherry blossom pink, and emerald green, which extended into even more radiance and conveyed the sound of thunderous waves.

This phenomenon was extremely alarming, prompting many nations of the Donghuang Federation and the Holy United States to collectively enter a state of highest alert, ready to activate the worst-case scenario plan at any time. Only after it was detected that this was not a massive collapse before a final burst of energy did they barely lift the highest alert.

Dream Weaver Rabbit has already held a meeting to address this change.

Unfortunately, just as before, people who cannot understand the source of the calamity cannot understand the changing patterns of the miraculous creation [Pure White].

Well, in fact, it would be difficult for anyone to guess the truth behind it.

After all, to put it in the art of language, this is because a pure and innocent young widow has finally stepped onto the ladder of adulthood and become a mature wife.

Astrid's serious guess:

"The rate of collapse is slowing down, but it is gradually trending towards a return to normalcy."

"If the Countermeasures Bureau's [planetary instrument] did not malfunction, it's highly likely that, just as I said, that person is working hard to buy more time for humanity."

"But if those differently colored lights are external forces that help [Pure White] continue to suppress the world, then does the sound of the waves reflected throughout the world represent the enemy he is fighting against?"

Yesterday, all the Witch who maintained the planetariums in the Magic Countermeasures Bureau participated in this massive observation that concerned the survival of civilization.

This grand ritual carries the blessings of 3,796 Flower Language, encompassing almost all the destiny weights of the [Witch] in the Tarot. It can not only observe the fortune and life and death of the [Witch], but also predict the future, simulate the world, verify data, and observe destiny to a certain extent.

Astrid Dreamweave is the underlying logic of this spell. She used flesh and blood, lanterns, and souls to create a wondrous state where data and magic coexist, carrying the blessings of all Flower Language and becoming the cornerstone of miracles.

Of course, her true form is not just the [Celestial Instrument], but also includes a technological marvel called Dream Weaver. The combination of the two brings the authority to coordinate information around the world and the possibility of serving as a link between countries.

Yet this very creation, in the process of observing [pure white] last night, foreshadowed its own impending doom, and had to stop midway, regrettably remaining outside the door of truth.

Dreamweave understands that the one who created [Pure White] would never harm humanity. The only element that would make her sense danger is something different from [Pure White], yet deeply intertwined with it.

That wave, which seemed to expound the truth and left a tremendous shock in the observer's consciousness, must have been the primary factor that caused the collapse of [Pure White]!

In short, they are enemies of humanity whose true nature is unknown.

Just as Dream Weaver Rabbit was filling in the blanks in her mind, unfamiliar footsteps came from inside the room.

Charlotte stepped across the quantum fiber cable and glanced at the silver-haired, red-eyed beauty dressed in a bunny girl outfit, located in the center of countless projections. She puffed out her cheeks unhappily and started to sulk.

"If you can't give me a reason to work overtime, I'll definitely get my revenge on Xiao Meng with a prank!"

Damn it, this morning was supposed to be a time for me to be all lovey-dovey with Xiao Qing, and I could have taken the opportunity to see so many expressions and mannerisms that Qing Bao wouldn't normally show! Now that I'm up, it feels like I've missed out on so much.

Moreover... and they both left immediately after giving away their virginity that very night, which is just as excessive as not going on a honeymoon after a "wedding night".

Astrid's rabbit ears trembled slightly. Although she was theoretically unafraid of threats, the fact that the target was Charlotte made her feel extremely troubled, even as Super AI and magical creation.

After all, the Saintess is the kind of person who can create a bunch of strange magic when she gets angry. Considering the nature of her magic, which corresponds to the conceptual, rule-based, and spacetime systems, she might actually be able to bully Artificial Intelligence.

Charlotte, that terrible Witch!

The silver-haired, red-eyed girl replied calmly:

"I'm wearing your favorite bunny girl outfit."

Charlotte refuted this with righteous indignation:

"That's not enough. Although Xiao Meng's true form is indeed a very beautiful girl, no one can compare to my Qing Bao."

Dreamweave, suppressing the bizarre feeling of being forced to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), murmured:

"I've applied for Chu Wangshu's permission to possess the Yaoshi for you, and it's been approved."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte demanded another endorsement from <Flash Dance> before nodding in satisfaction, indicating that she had reluctantly forgiven the despicable Dream Weaver Rabbit.

Astrid breathed a sigh of relief; who knows why she was completely helpless against Charlotte? She quickly got to the point and stated:

"I've come to see you for two reasons. First, there's been a change at [Pure White]. The <Flash Dance> project will be progressing much faster, and you need to be mentally prepared in advance."

This is information that the authorities have been keeping from Charlotte.

Of course, it wasn't kept secret for long, after all, Chu Yuanqing had only told the Dream Weaver Rabbit the news less than a month ago.

Dreamweave's tone became more serious as she continued:

Secondly, because...

"We have discovered the Cult of Disaster Gods' plan."

Volume 1: Chapter 241. The Kindling Project, our main storyline is the music party. (5K)

Cult of Disaster Gods.

As the name suggests, this organization is a group of madmen who worship the Disaster God, regard him as a deity, and yearn for his true revival.

Such organizations would have been rampant in an old era of despair where the future seemed hopeless.

Because in that kind of environment, not being born in the first place would be the greatest happiness, many people have to find a spiritual sustenance for themselves and imagine a bright future in order to avoid complete collapse.

In addition, the corrosive effects of the calamity on the human body, its amplification and distortion of emotions, and even its assimilation of the soul, coupled with the deliberate guidance of believers, can easily lead to a snowballing growth.

Moreover, works like the Old Testament, Ymir, and Amaterasu, which directly correspond to ancient myths, are perfect objects of inspiration.

It's worth mentioning that "Cult of Disaster Gods" is what ordinary people call them; these people should actually be further subdivided according to the Disaster God" they believe in.

For example, believers in the King of Salt believe that they should bring the holy and pure white snow to every corner of the world, thereby cleansing away all impurity and sin, and bringing a new Eden to mankind.

For example, believers in the [Solar Era] simply believe that the old world's sun is filled with filth and that the world and the sun need to be completely replaced to create a [Solar Era] full of flowers.

Although their doctrines are largely consistent, the thirteen or even more sects derived from the thirteen Disaster God have many conflicting doctrines, which leads to their mental instability and internal disunity.

Charlotte was very familiar with these sects. When she and Chu Yuanqing were young and inexperienced, they had done a lot of things like diverting trouble, framing others, and making these people fight amongst themselves.

In the first playthrough, their harm was no less than that of the Disaster Tide. In fact, because the sacrifice of a large number of living beings' souls and flesh could weaken the Planet Consciousness, the Disaster God would instinctively "give back" some of its power to them, leading to a terrible vicious cycle.

To put it simply, this group of believers is essentially a hybrid between Calamity Beasts and humans, with the highest-ranking Archbishop possessing the authority to bestow blessings, transform into Calamity Beasts, and even act as a Disaster God —a true Chimera among Chimera's monsters.

However, in the first playthrough, the Cult of Disaster Gods is positioned as the main storyline and mini-bosses in the early stages. After defeating them, the Apostles and the Supreme Calamity Beast come into play, and only at the very end does the resurrected Disaster God come into play.

However, in the second playthrough, [Pure White] suppressed the thirteen forbidden areas, almost sealing away all the calamity energy and Calamity Beasts, which was equivalent to directly stifling the birthplace of these sects, resulting in their extremely small size and no major threat to social peace for 17 years.

Since the appearance of Astrid Dreamweave, the magical creation who controls the world, they have become a bunch of rats who can only associate with terrorists. They only made a brief appearance recently during the second Public Performance of Flash Dance, which was a way of making their presence known.

Charlotte thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what plan the Cult of Disaster Gods had come up with that would require Dreamweave to interrupt her precious morning with Qing Bao. She took out a pink cat chair, placed it in front of the Super AI, and sat down, guessing:

"Are their plans related to the Kindling Project?"

"Is the goal Self-Circulating City, or an ideal state? Or perhaps, simply yourself?"

Self-Circulating City, as the name suggests, is a city that can meet the daily needs of all its inhabitants simply by operating on its own.

This was a project initiated by various countries before the development of ether technology and the emergence of [Witch]. At that time, humanity had not fully deconstructed the concept of calamity energy, nor did it understand the true terror of forbidden lands and Calamity Beasts.

It is believed that as long as an extremely efficient defense system is established, with the ability to transfer the city's population underground within hours, the civilization can be preserved to the greatest extent possible by using a fully enclosed, self-circulating underground base with hundreds of layers.

This is also the origin of the hundreds or thousands of underground bases in the current Flashdance.

However, unlike the initial expectation of heavy industrialization, cities riddled with elevator shafts, and the need for early mobilization of the entire society for development, the emergence of ether technology, the Gap World, and magic has led to a rapid transformation in productivity.

The end result is that the world still appears light and airy, lacking the heavy, impending storm.

As for the ideal state, it is the most perfect gift in Gap World.

Before Charlotte regained her memories, she only vaguely understood these things. However, after recalling her memories from the first timeline, she was able to grasp their deeper meaning.

The concept of Gap World is very complex.

Simply put, they all originated from the world after it was destroyed by the Disaster God.

However, not every world can attach itself to a Disaster God after its destruction, creating such a strange phenomenon.

Only in worlds where half of the Disaster God have perished in the battle against them, or where the Planet Consciousness has been destroyed during the battle against the Disaster God, resulting in mutual destruction, will the tides of the Sea of Truth be triggered, producing a phenomenon similar to quantum entanglement.

Chu Yuanqing regarded this phenomenon as an lingering effect.

To the Disaster God, this lingering effect is a harmless curse.

For the planets that have been struck by the Disaster God, these are a benevolent blessing.

Among them, the Ideal Kingdom is a blessing unearthed by mankind. It is an independent secret realm, or perhaps a small world, suspected to be the remains of a magical civilization. Breathing inside can increase magic power and alleviate disasters, making it a paradise for Magical Girl.

Of course, now that she has regained her memories, she is very clear about the connection between the Disaster God and these aftereffects. The ideal country that humanity was able to excavate was most likely secretly taken from the forbidden area by the Planet Consciousness while [Pure White] was suppressing the Disaster God. It can only be said that they tried very hard.

The silver-haired, red-eyed bunny girl snapped her fingers, thoughtfully having a robot deliver breakfast, and also setting the milk to Charlotte's favorite temperature. She then softly replied:

"It's even more dangerous than this."

"The Self-Circulating City and the Ideal State are indeed important to civilization; they were crucial assets that allowed humanity to survive the first wave of Disaster Tide after the collapse of [Pure White]. However, the goal of the Cult of Disaster Gods is to destroy the foundation of [Flash Dance]."

"In short, expose the truth about forbidden areas, Calamity Beasts, and the apocalypse to create widespread panic and death."

"If they succeed, the success rate of <Flash Dance> will drop drastically. It's not worth risking your life to become the <Lighthouse> if you have the potential to become [Klein]. This project may simply go bankrupt and become a mere shell for incubating [Witch]."

Charlotte nodded thoughtfully. She took a bite of the almond-filled croissant, and after finishing it, she said:

"Yes, you're right. This is indeed the biggest weakness of Flash Dance. Once the peaceful atmosphere is broken, the foundation of Shine Magic is essentially tainted."

"While destruction and spreading rumors are certainly easier than destroying the ideal state and the Self-Circulating City, what are the specific methods? Haven't they been doing similar things before?"

Dreamweave calmly said:
