The Words "Wind City" Inscribed on It / IF-Two Calamities and a Demon

Before the Angel could finish saying "reckless"...

"Bang!!!"

Cong Yu simply stomped on the Angel's head, smashing it open. Blood splattered everywhere before quickly turning into specks of light and disappearing.

The blood on Cong Yu's clothes also transformed into specks of Divine Power, detached, and disappeared, dissipating on the Surface Side of the world.

Meanwhile, Yaochuan Guang, who had been helping to dig a pit for Xian Kui and occasionally glancing at the battle, noticed that the fight had ended.

"Eh? Cong Yu- chan... aren't you going to arrest the Angel and question him?"

"..."

"There's no need for that anymore."

Cong Yu said this, rubbing the bridge of his nose, he felt a headache coming on. "I understand Moerae better than Moerae's own father does now."

Chapter 773 bears the inscription "Wind City"

Moerae is indeed strong, ridiculously strong.

It cannot be killed, destroyed, or found; it can manipulate time at will, making its actual existence difficult to ascertain...

How do we deal with things that don't exist?

Cong Yu could not get an answer to this question.

If you were to ask "why," the only accurate answer would be "because it is God."

To be an enemy of God is utterly foolish.

So the only option is to submit; if you can't beat them, join them. Humans are too good at this... History shows that this has always been the case for all things.

But just because it's always been this way, does that mean it's right?

Or is it...?

"Even if we can't win, we have to fight; even if we can't win, we have to fight; even if we can't do it, we have to do it... This is only natural."

Cong Yu spoke, she, Xian Kui, and Yaochuan Guang watched as the researchers studied the time capsules that had been unearthed.

Xian Kui naturally nodded in agreement with Cong Yu's suggestion.

Cong Yu was saying now was something she had actually told Xian Kui separately before... It shattered her ruthless barrier and made her who she is today.

Yaochuan Guang and the others would not feel confused.

"Cong Yu- chan, you're making it sound so serious."

Yaochuan Guang said this nonchalantly, putting his arm around Cong Yu's shoulder. "We haven't even fought yet, right? It's not necessarily true that we can't win--"

Indeed, they haven't really fought a match yet, and it's still too early to tell who will emerge victorious... Of course, Cong Yu still doesn't want things to develop to that point.

After all, Cong Yu's basic logic was enough to determine...

Moerae is not a "living thing" in the strict sense, and the concepts of "defeating" and "killing" cannot be thought of in a normal way.

Moreover, Miss Lin's very existence has already proven a great deal—even the divine messenger who wanted to die couldn't, let alone the "god" himself.

"It's not about hitting, it's about 'stopping'."

Correcting her like this, Cong Yu pondered for a moment, "It's best to keep today's events a secret... especially the part about Moerae's strength."

Keeping it a secret? Why?

Shouldn't we share all the confirmed information regarding Moerae with the entire world?

Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui: "???"

The two were somewhat puzzled.

Lantian Zhu: "..."

Cong Yu: "..."

Xian Kui: "..."

The three remained silent for a moment, but then decided to speak up, all three saying at the same time, "Because..."

Xian Kui: "Avoid turmoil."

Lantian Zhu: "Pessimistic sentiment."

Cong Yu: "Extreme disagreement..."

After each expressing their different viewpoints, the three of them paused for a moment in surprise... What? Your thoughts are different from mine?

With this question in mind, Xian Kui spoke first, "Those who, knowing the enemy's strength, conclude that 'the world is doomed,' will naturally have their evil thoughts stirred up, becoming destabilizing factors in society."

Very good, very China way of thinking.

Cong Yu pondered this, glancing at Lantian Zhu, who seemed to understand something, while Cong Yu.

"I think that if the whole news is made public, it will breed pessimists and Surrender Faction."

Lantian Zhu continued, maintaining her expression and attitude. "If there are too many 'different voices,' it will be detrimental to the overall situation."

It's not that escapism and pessimism are necessarily bad, but since Cong Yu and other opinion leaders haven't given any instructions, such unconventional thinking shouldn't have emerged... otherwise it would affect the plans currently underway.

Very good, a very ruthless way of thinking.

"..." Cong Yu's own thoughts were more realistic and cruel than the others'... even without Moerae, it felt like it would happen very soon.

"As for my thoughts..."

As Cong Yu spoke, he sighed and explained, "May I ask, what does 'extinction of humanity' mean?"

The moment Cong Yu uttered those words, Lantian Zhu, who had witnessed far more darkness than Xian Kui, understood almost instantly. "Ah, indeed."

To Lantian Zhu's "indeed," Yaochuan Guang revealed an innocent expression. "What? Isn't it about transforming ordinary people?"

Yes, this is the current plan proposed by Cong Yu and everyone else.

But actually, there's an even simpler and more direct possibility when looking at it literally... the principle of regression (laughs).

Xian Kui immediately understood, and she broke out in a cold sweat. "That's not right... no, it's very likely."

Yaochuan Guang: "???"

Xiao Cui: "..."

"..." Xiao Cui felt she understood. She looked at Cong Yu and the others who were speaking in riddles, and then at Yaochuan.

"Killing is faster."

As Xiao Cui spoke, she attracted Yaochuan Guang's attention, and then patted the silly Yaochuan's dog head.

"If we disregard everything else and just want to get rid of Moerae... killing is faster than 'rehabilitation'."

Xiao Cui said this, then seemed to be thinking about something, "Hmm... it's not entirely impossible."

"!!!"X3

Everyone, including Yaochuan Guang who understood, looked at Xiao Cui with horrified eyes...

Xiao Cui realized that what she had said was a bit outrageous, so she smiled sheepishly and said, "Just kidding."

But you couldn't tell at all that you were joking.

Cong Yu's expression immediately became complicated. He cupped Xiao Cui's head in his hands and rubbed it for a while, saying, "I never expected this..."

Extreme people are actually around me.

Upon hearing Cong Yu's actions, Xiao Cui, whose little face had been pinched and rounded, mumbled, "I... I'm just a child, I don't know any better, I was just talking nonsense--"

You'd better be talking nonsense!

"There are already quite a few magical girls who look down on mortals. If they find out about Moerae's threat... it won't be good."

The worst-case scenario might be a repeat of World War II, leading to a wave of ideology that prioritizes eccentrics and witches...

Just as Cong Yu was pondering this, not intending to voice her deduction, the research team finally opened the time capsule.

We also completed the material testing at the same time.

"Report, the material of the two outer shells is..."

It was just ordinary stainless steel, fused together in a way that resembled welding, and there was a piece of paper inside.

"It says 'Wind City' (City of Winds) on it."

The person giving the report was a man with a determined look, dressed in a researcher's uniform. "The data has been archived."

With that, the man saluted the Xian Kui: "Preparations are made for further analysis or sealing. Please give instructions!"

This group of people seems to be the ones Xian Kui promoted after he found a pretext to cut off the department in charge of magical girls in China.

In other words, they are members of the Xian Kui lineage.

Everyone present was one of our own...

"Wind City?"

"The Wind City, huh?"

"Huh? Wind City?"

"..." Although it was expected, Cong Yu didn't understand why the Angel could sense something was wrong just by looking at Wind City now.

Cong Yu was slightly curious...

If we didn't have ourselves, that is, in the original historical context, what would the Wind City be like now?

Chapter 774 IF: Two Calamities and One Demon

IF line (one of them)

This differs greatly from the "Cong Yu World Line," so please be aware of the differences.

"Those bastards, don't they know what Extinction Formula is? Those damned politicians... they all deserve to be nailed to the pillar of shame!"

The dark-skinned, sunglasses-wearing, hip-hop style weirdo said this with an angry look on his face.

"They tied the host of the Extinction Formula to Mexico, and now Mexico is destroyed... The next target is the United States. Aren't they happy now?!"

The magical girl sitting opposite the Rap King didn't answer his question; she remained silent... just silent.

The magical girl, draped in a deep blue velvet cloak, lowered the hood of her head.

What's revealed is a beautiful halo, but beneath the halo...

It was an expressionless face and eyes as still as a pool of water, devoid of any liveliness, as if it had long since experienced the deathly stillness of extinction.

With that sense of silence, the magical girl spoke, "Xiao Cui hates this world, and Little Guang no longer trusts the world itself."

As she stated this fact with such detachment, a hint of sorrow flickered in the magical girl's eyes. "It's come to this, I don't think there's any way to salvage it... It's over."

Dente sighed at such pessimistic remarks... The pale-skinned girl in the papal robes looked quite mature.

Dente glanced at the sunlight outside the window and pulled up the hood of his papal robe to shield himself from the afternoon sun.

Although she inherited the legacy of the Ancient Ones, she still needs time to digest Mother Tereido's legacy.

Perhaps later I can ignore the sunlight like other Ancient Ones, but I can't do that now.

Dente glanced at the whiteboard behind her, which was densely covered with information she and Selena had compiled, and began to speak—

I thought the "hero" would be more radical.

To Dente's words, Lantian Zhu, known as the "Hero," was unable to offer any further response, only saying, "That's a stereotype."

As she said this, Lantian Zhu's beautiful blue eyes were filled with indifference. "Rather than being 'radical,' the impression a hero gives should be more of 'trying to awaken former friends through bonds and friendship.'"

Dente glanced at the whiteboard behind him as he spoke to Lantian Zhu... and indeed, the plan was there.

"Is that not allowed?"

Dente asked this question, and Lantian Zhu's answer was natural, "No, don't treat reality like a comic book story."

The problem is quite serious.

Whether it's the Mexico land ravaged by Little Sprite, or the Wind City besieged by Monster coming from all directions to worship...

There is no doubt that it is "beyond saving".
