Chapter 616 -290: Major Family Events III: Night of the Witch (Part 5)

October 31st, 06:50 AM, inside the Magical Girl Alliance building, on the 45th-floor meeting room.

On the western side of the meeting room, a high-definition giant projection was currently cast upon the whiteboard. Around a metallic round table with a cold hard texture, ten magical girls from around the world gathered together.

One of the three leaders, Lilai, with a stern expression, began to speak, “Just now, we detected a surge of magic power. After confirmation, doll witches have awakened a thirty-meter-tall gigantic doll near coastal towns in Denmark, Iceland, and England.”

She paused momentarily, “It seems that she must have prearranged these dolls at the bottom of the sea some days ago.”

As her words ended, three photographs immediately appeared on the projector. From the coast of Moen Island in Denmark, the seaside city of Grindavik in Iceland, and Brighton Town in England, a towering white silhouette emerged from the seabed, breaking through the layered waves, overturning fishing boats and even lighthouses, revealing its colossal form amidst the cries of fishermen.

Following this, a series of roars as massive as tsunamis reverberated through the sea and sky, like the horns sounding before the onset of war.

Amid the thunderous noises, the grey-white Faceless Giants slowly approached, stepping on the heavy waves.

A close-up of the camera showed that these Faceless Giants were inscribed with thick lines of magic power all over their bodies. The pitch-dark magic was flowing within the lines, creating a striking visual contrast with their grey-white carapaces.

Lilai, expressionless, continued her introduction at a calm pace, “This is a super-sized doll forged by the doll witch; she once tried such dolls in a United Nations battle in the mid-20th century.”

Speaking thus, she contemplated for a moment, “Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that the locations where she released the dolls are quite remote. There are no Superhero Association branches nearby, and they are far from the nearest branches of the Superhero Association and the Magical Girl Alliance. This means… those superheroes simply can’t assist promptly. The people in those three villages are now completely isolated and helpless. In such remote areas, the likelihood of a superhuman capable of resisting the dolls appearing is very slim.”

Udina asked with a serious tone, “Why didn’t we detect their presence earlier? Logically, with their enormous size and being driven by magic power, it should have been easy to detect them.”

Lilai rested her chin on her hand and explained softly, “I guess those witches used a magic array to erase the aura emanating from the dolls. Not to mention they hid the dolls in the deep sea, at a certain distance from the land. It’s normal that our people didn’t detect them.”

“What do we do now?” Qili asked in a lowered voice from beneath her cowboy hat, “We can’t just let those dolls trample all over the innocent residents of the towns.”

“Since we can’t make it there, couldn’t we simply not bother with those people?”

Spirit Bell Child spoke with an indifferent tone.

Following the sound of her voice, there sat the magical girl, not yet twelve years old, perching on a floating giant bell. She was, as always, dressed in a Lolita-style magical gown, her gaze under her blonde hair was disdainful.

Lilai shook her head in retort, “No, someone can make it there. As of now, the only person in the entire world who can support them in time is Ziyue.”

At the mention of this, she lifted her icy blue eyes towards the dolls shown on the screen, slightly raising her tone, “If we don’t make use of Ziyue’s Time-Space Train to get there promptly… those villages will be flattened in an instant.”

As her voice fell, a brief silence enveloped the meeting room.

Xiaohongmao raised her eyes, casting her gaze towards Ziyue.

Ziyue maintained silence, her head raised, quietly observing the gigantic dolls on the projector screen.

“One of the three leaders, Udina, furrowed her brows and spoke, “Her intentions are clear, as if she wants to spread us thin.”

“Right, but we can’t just ignore them…” Lilai nodded expressionlessly, “Otherwise, the people in those three villages will be immediately crushed to death. Having the ability but choosing not to save them goes against the Alliance’s code of conduct.”

She paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ziyue, “Will you go?”

Before Ziyue could respond, Spirit Bell Child from London spoke up again.

“Are they just lowly villagers from three little villages?” Spirit Bell Child said, “Obeying the whims of those witches is not an option. I suggest we abandon the lives of these people and see if those witches intend to feign an attack from another quarter.”

Ziyue sipped her hot tea, her gaze lowered in contemplation.

Spirit Bell Child let out a cold laugh, lifting her snow-white chin, asking leisurely, “It seems that you really intend to follow the witches’ wishes?”

Before Ziyue could speak, Lilai said first, “Magical girls are born to protect others. Witches regard the lives of ordinary people as worthless, while we cherish every life; that’s the difference between us.”

“But—”

Spirit Bell Child was about to argue when Ziyue cut her off.

“No matter, while we have time for this idle chatter, it’s more than enough to purge those three dolls.”

Ziyue spoke calmly, placing down her teacup, glancing around the meeting room before quickly instructing the others, “You all stay in Huanjing. Lilai, Udina, and I will be right back.”

Lilai nodded, agreeing with the decision, “With our speed, we’ll be able to resolve those dolls quickly. If anything occurs in Huanjing, notify us immediately; we’ll return to defend as soon as possible.”

Spirit Bell Child frowned slightly and muttered, looking away, “How foolish, plainly knowing those witches will seize the opportunity to attack yet still going.” She didn’t care about how many would die; what mattered to her was whether their decision would play right into the hands of those witches.
