Divine Artifacts and Divine Beings

When that moment comes, she still won't be able to do anything.

Just like this time, they couldn't defeat the Angel, nor could they stop them... all they could do was evacuate the innocent civilians.

That was all she could do to help.

"..." Yaochuan Guang's heart was pounding, and even though she was lying down and staring at the ceiling, she still felt a little tired.

Then, from beside him, at the other end of the bed, came Xiao Cui's remarkably clear voice—

"Sister Yaochuan, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Xiao Cui's very low voice, Yaochuan Guang didn't know whether he should answer honestly...

Would it seem like I'm being overly pessimistic if I said that? Maybe Cong Yu- chan is still the most invincible person in the world.

It was only because we needed to gather information during the battle that it took so long and seemed so tiring.

Before Yaochuan Guang could say anything, Lantian Zhu's calm voice rang out first. "Worried about Cong Yu and the future."

The summary of Lantian Zhu is very apt.

After all, Yaochuan Guang wasn't worried about Cong Yu, nor was he worried about the future... but rather about Cong Yu's future and the future in which Cong Yu resided.

"Huh? Little Lan, how did you know?"

As Yaochuan Guang asked this question, she turned her head and saw blue and emerald green eyes that were also open.

Through the snoring Hong, Yaochuan Guang met their gazes.

It seems that everyone except Red has figured out the problem... the power has reached its limit.

If Cong Yu's power and violence represent the pinnacle of this world, then the Six-Winged Angel are (pinnacle-1).

It's just a matter of subtracting one.

It's going to be tough for Cong Yu- chan afterwards...

However, Ms. Hong seemed quite reassured, even though she didn't sense anything particularly unusual about her.

But she was indeed the one who most "blindly believed" in Cong Yu.

Hong Xiawu Hong never believed that Cong Yu would lose.

This is not a good thing, because if you think about it from a slightly more rational perspective, you'll know that the situation will be quite bad afterward.

"Is there anything we can do to help Cong Yu- chan?"

Yaochuan Guang couldn't help but ask this question, speaking softly as she sought help from the clever Little Lan and the witty Xiao Cui.

In other words, she wants to know how to become stronger...

But this is a very old and familiar problem.

If becoming stronger were as simple as wishing, and one could directly become stronger through arduous training, then the magical girls wouldn't have faced such difficult circumstances.

Lantian Zhu: "..."

Xiao Cui: "..."

Yaochuan Guang: "..."

Red: "Magic."

"..." The moment Hong uttered the word "magic," Yaochuan Guang and the others were startled. She couldn't help but ask, "Eh? Hong-sensei, you were awake all along?"

In response to Yaochuan Guang's words, Hong helplessly scratched her head and sat up in bed. "I was woken up by you guys."

Although everyone was keeping their voices down, Hong's previous living environment was not very stable... The slightest noise could wake her up.

Lantian Zhu is similar in this respect.

"The key to the problem is magic."

Hong repeated, rubbing her temples, "I'm the same way... Our spells are sophisticated and effective enough, and quite suitable for our combat, but our mana pool can't keep up."

Cong Yu's Jormungandr Train seems invincible, capable of cutting through anything. But that's built on the expenditure of his magic.

If only a small portion of the magic is used, then the summoned Jormungandr Train will be nothing more than an empty shell.

It's already quite an achievement to be able to knock someone to the ground.

"The only one whose magic quality can be considered acceptable is Yaochuan Guang... and even then, it's only acceptable."

As Hong said this, she rested her chin on her hand and said, "I would barely qualify as 'excellent'... while Xiao Cui is not qualified, and Lantian Zhu is even more of a 'disqualified' candidate."

Disqualification is acceptable.

As for his own descendants

Has the generation really come to such a cruel point?

Lantian Zhu: "..."

However, she couldn't refute it, even though her current magical reserves were higher than those of an average magical girl.

It's so high, I don't even know how high it is!

Unfortunately, the magical reserves gained through the dissolution and reconstruction of his own flesh and blood were not enough for Lantian Zhu to participate in battles with absurdly high intensity.

Everyone knows this.

Hong was also very clear about this, looking at the "qualified" Yaochuan Guang: "And to reach the level of fighting alongside Cong Yu..."

As he said this, Hongxiayu thought for a moment, then found the right words. "It has to reach at least the level of 'beyond the norm' and 'breaking the norm'."

Exceptional and unconventional...

How can I increase my magic power?

Yaochuan Guang muttered to himself, then listed the key points. "Eat and drink your fill, get plenty of rest every day, use magic frequently, and stay alive."

Yes, that's how magic grows.

Of these, "staying alive" is the most important, so important that it makes people overlook the other two.

In other words...

Whether it's exercise or dietary supplements, the effect is minimal; the only thing that matters is that people who live longer have stronger magical qualities.

Currently, it is basically only the China who practice a method called "cultivation," which consumes magical energy while maintaining their mental state at its peak.

To find an increase of approximately 4%.

Although over time she can widen the gap between herself and other magical girls, it still feels unnecessary.

So...

"How about we eat four meals a day from now on?"

Yaochuan Guang made this suggestion, but Xiao Cui immediately retorted, "I don't think that will work."

Lantian Zhu was also starting to lose her composure, but she managed to remain calm. "Besides stuffing yourself to death, it probably won't do any good."

That's true...

Sigh, isn't that a completely hopeless situation?

"..."

"However, there might be other methods... methods that ordinary people cannot use, and methods that you yourself may not be able to use."

As she spoke, Hong sat on the bed, her beautiful crimson eyes sparkling in the darkness. "It's something that Cong Yu and I used; it's probably the 'answer' to the question of whether this world is 'powerful' or not."

"However, I think even if you can't use it, there should be something in this 'answer' that you can utilize, something in common..."

Lantian Zhu: "???"

Yaochuan Guang: "???"

Xiao Cui: "???"

A riddle teller?!

Chapter 792 Divine Artifacts and Gods

"The analysis results are in."

As the Doctor spoke, she crossed her legs, held a cup of coffee, and glanced at the Hourglass on the research table.

"The total height of this thing, including the pillars and base, is 250 millimeters, and its length and width are 90 millimeters."

"This dimension is for calculating the outer pillars of the Hourglass, and the width of the upper and lower bases also matches the Hourglass body and the pillars."

As the Doctor looked at the report on the computer, he said, "That's right, not just 250 millimeters, but 250.00000 millimeters."

"I suspect it's an absolutely precise 250 millimeters."

Cong Yu wasn't too surprised by what the Doctor said; he held his coffee and waited for the Doctor to continue... He had made the coffee himself.

"The analysis of the material is rather outrageous..."

"The Hourglass part of Hourglass looks like glass; it looks like glass no matter how you look at it, but it's not actually glass."

"In impact and scratch resistance tests, it exhibited extraordinary indestructible properties... This is definitely not glass."

"If it's glass, it's at least Divine Realm glass."

As a scientist, the Doctor didn't know how she managed to utter the words "Divine Realm glass"...

It feels like I've killed my own science.

"The pillar section appears to be made of a super polymer material, but it's not some kind of polymer... Oh, polymer is plastic."

"Similar toughness was also demonstrated in tests involving high temperature, low temperature, and corrosion, yet it remained completely undamaged."

"The same goes for the base; it looks like wood, and it has the texture and feel of wood, but it's an absolutely sturdy product."

"As for the filling inside the Hourglass, it also appears to be fine white sand, but its true nature is unknown... probably Divine Realm sand."

Every time the Doctor said something similar, he wanted to sigh, "Each of these particulate matter is perfectly uniform."

"They are exactly the same... Even when observed at the most microscopic level, it is impossible to find any difference between them."

Having said all that, it seems like we've discovered a lot, but to summarize...

It simply resulted in the conclusion, "[Holy crap! This is absolutely amazing!]"

"Finally, if you turn the Hourglass upside down, the time it takes for it to go from completely full to completely empty is 49.9 seconds."

The Doctor, resting his chin on his hand and gazing at the "miracle device," added, "Absolutely 49.9000 seconds, possibly absolutely precise seconds... I don't understand why it's this number."

Cong Yu didn't understand the Doctor's words either, and was even more confused than before.

Untie...

This is even more unreasonable than the 50 seconds that Cong Yu had previously perceived.

"How could anyone in the world need to time themselves for 49.9 seconds?"

Cong Yu still didn't understand, and even thought of some things he understood even less, "Moreover, the concept of a second is something humans have given to time. Does 'God' really need a similar concept of time?"

Yes, the Doctor knows this very well.

"Initially, the concept of a second was derived from the division of 'day,' but it was later redefined... You can search for it yourself if you're interested."

The Doctor, after taking a sip of coffee, rubbed her eyes and said, "I remember it's related to atomic transition periods; it's quite complicated."

If you're interested, search for it yourself... Hmm, you've forgotten, haven't you?

Seeing Cong Yu's gaze, the Doctor paused, then tilted his head and stubbornly said, "I haven't forgotten, it's just that the explanation is too complicated, I'm too lazy to go over it."

Okay, okay... if you say so, then it is.

Cong Yu wasn't in the mood to argue. He yawned and leaned back in his chair. "What a nuisance, what a magical artifact."

In response to Cong Yu's words, the Doctor couldn't help but say, "Having obtained the divine artifact is better than not having it... that should be the case, right?"

That's true.

But...

"But I don't know how to use it, just like Divine Power... even if I cover it with Divine Power, there's no reaction."

Cong Yu spoke, he sighed slightly, reached out and took away the Hourglass, which could no longer be analyzed, and put it back into the Jormungandr Train.

Moerae is really troublesome.

Whether they're talking about "loving someone" or truly loving someone, they're all masters of riddles... Can't they just be a little clearer?
