"Rena-chan, that's not something we need to worry about right now, is it?" Sayaka, for one, was quite happy to see Kiyono Hai getting close to other women.
"No! I still care too much!"
The fox lady said she actually planned to use the power of her faith to make a wish for "to learn Chinese".
Fortunately, the secret meeting was nearing its end, and Kiyono Hai's cell phone alarm went off, signaling that the seventh episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" had officially begun airing.
"In short, once you enter the world of 'The Holy Stars,' the performance system will only set up a small part of the stage for you. You'll have to build the rest yourself... or perhaps the powerful deities around you will build it for you..."
As she spoke, Hachimiya Nanami gave Kiyono Hai another interesting piece of information.
"And you should also be wary of some players whose value is abnormally high. They might be like me, reincarnated gods who haven't awakened their past life memories yet."
Kiyono Hui didn't say anything more and returned to the lounge with Nan Deng. Ignoring the somewhat strange expression on the fox-like girl's face, he turned his attention to the large screen in the lounge.
The seventh episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" has officially begun airing, and under the watchful eyes of all the players in the fantasy city... Sayaka, the magical girl who most resembles a magical girl, will face the most tragic ending.
Chapter 95. Welcoming the True Night of the Witch (6000-word long chapter)
That woman, the Future Goddess, is truly insane... or perhaps she's lost her mind.
When Nobuo Sanada learned that the future god's solution to the problem was to call on all players to delete their accounts, he almost burst out laughing on the spot.
Now that Dream City has been given to him, along with the accounts with the past divine authority, which one of them isn't an old account that players have painstakingly cultivated for seven or eight years or more?
Even if they quit for a while, the time, effort, and money they invested in their accounts over the past seven or eight years were all genuine...
Just because of one sentence from the Future God, you think you can make these top players in Dream City delete their accounts and start over? Are you kidding me? What makes you think you can?
Therefore, Nobuo Sanada's emotions are very stable. He first had the official website issue two announcements, which stated that "given enough time, controlling the Titans is not a problem."
Another message reads: "Please do not believe the rumors about account deletion! The official Fantasy City team will absolutely not release any tasks that force players to delete their accounts to complete!"
Following these two official announcements, public opinion among players in the entire Dream City began to lean towards waiting for the authorities to resolve the issue of the rampaging Colossus.
That's why Sanada Nobuo thought... the appearance of the future goddess is indeed that of a loli. It is precisely because she chose such a young appearance that she made such a naive and childish choice.
"Therefore, everyone should not choose such an extreme solution as the Future God. In any case, Lord Owlface has already lured that Colossus to the wilderness far away from the main city. I believe that the authorities will be able to control that Colossus during this period."
Nobuo Sanada is still using his position as the vice president of Crystal Garden to confuse the top players in Dream City.
At this time, most of the online players in Dream City had gathered in the arena at the edge of the game map.
The main reason is that this map, which is structured like a football field, is perfect for all players on the server to gather together for meetings. Players who are just listening sit in the audience seats, while the leaders of various guilds and some well-known players discuss countermeasures in the center of the meeting room.
Taking this opportunity, Nobuo Sanada also roughly calculated how many top players of Dream City had returned to the game after the Rebirth version.
Although Dream City has been declining for three years, the game still has an average daily active user count of around 400,000, which ranks among the top ten stage games with long-term operation in Japan.
The Rebirth version boosted the daily active user count by 1.5 times, and the returning players were all high-quality players with high faith power and high harvest value!
The most typical example is that almost all members of the top three guilds in this country, Starfire Alliance, have returned. Starfire Alliance has a total of 8,000 guild members, and now about 5,000 of them have returned to the game Fantasy City.
Secondly, there is Crystal Garden, the largest guild in Dream City. This is the core fighting force that this god has cultivated by his own hands, and most of his chosen ones are members of Crystal Garden.
Crystal Garden has 6,000 regular players, all of whom can be considered "Dream City fans" and basically play Dream City as their main game.
The next guild is Hyakkiin, which is mainly composed of a group of players who enjoy fantasy city superpower PVP battles, with a permanent membership of around 800.
"I don't need your nonsense. Deleting my account is just ridiculous. If the official team dares to forcibly delete my account, I'll probably sue them in court."
The most irritable of all, Rin, the president of Hyakkiin, directly voiced the sentiments of most players who were not interested in the Reborn.
"I know everyone is worried about the safety of their families, but now that Colossus has been lured to the outskirts of the city and will no longer cause damage to the main urban area of Dream City. In short, let's wait for the official follow-up news. No matter what, the operators of Dream City will not allow that Colossus to continue to run rampant."
The president of Crystal Garden, Hato, was also using the same method to appease all the players on the server. After she finished appeasing them, she turned her gaze to Shimazu Sousuke, the president of Starfire Alliance, who was one of the three giants.
After a brief silence, Shimazu Sousuke said only one very simple sentence.
"Puella Magi Madoka Magica episode 7 has started airing, aren't you guys going to watch it?"
As soon as Shimazu Sousuke finished speaking, all the players on the Dream City server made a unified gesture.
That is, I opened the in-game multimedia browsing window, immediately clicked on Xiaoyuan's playback interface, and rushed into the live broadcast of the latest episode at the fastest speed.
It's no exaggeration to say that nine out of ten returning players of Fantasy City are Madoka fans.
The guild leader of the Crystal Guild, Hato, is also a Madoka Magica fan; to be precise, she is a magical girl fan.
Because she grew up watching all kinds of magical girl anime, such as the earliest "Saint Tail" and later "Cardcaptor Sakura" series, etc., all of which left a very deep impression on her childhood.
Even after she went to university, she continued to enjoy anime with these kinds of elements, and she bought a lot of figurines, merchandise, and even magical girl cosplay outfits.
However, even the most enthusiastic passion eventually fades, especially as the market for magical girl anime has become monotonous and repetitive for children, her enthusiasm for this genre has gradually diminished.
It wasn't until she encountered the anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" that her magical girl spirit, which had been dormant in Hato's heart for nearly twenty years, was instantly rekindled.
As a fan of magical girls, she really loves Madoka's reinterpretation of the concept of 'magical girl', and her favorite line is 'Miracles and magic come at a price'.
As for the plot that Hatoo thinks best corresponds to this line, it's not actually the scene in episode 3 where Mami Tomoe is decapitated in a shocking way, but rather the beginning of episode 7.
This refers to the scene where Sayaka confronts Kyubey after learning that her soul will be sealed in the Soul Gem and her body will become a walking corpse after signing a magical girl contract.
Kyubey told Sayaka a simple yet ruthless fact that applies to all magical girl worldviews: that is…
"If you don't do this, the pain from a simple attack in battle will be enough to render you incapacitated. Do you want to experience for yourself just how intense the pain you endured in that battle?"
As Kyubey predicted, if Sayaka's soul and body were not separated, as a young girl, she would not be able to withstand the pain of being attacked in battle. A single blow was enough to make her clutch her abdomen and fall to the ground, unable to move.
This is a story so real it's terrifying, so real it could be applied to any magical girl anime.
This made Hato clearly realize how abnormal and unreasonable it was that those little girls who were only thirteen or fourteen years old in the past could fight against evil until they were covered in wounds and still stand up with a tenacious fighting spirit.
Or perhaps the very concept of magical girls is so abnormal that anyone could come up with the idea of having a group of children fight against a bunch of monsters that can destroy the steel and concrete of a city?
After that, Hatoo, along with Sayaka in the series, experienced firsthand the despair of being a magical girl.
Perhaps it's because they've personally experienced the Rebirth storyline.
Hato wasn't surprised at all by Sayaka's eventual transformation into a berserker mermaid witch, and even with Kyoko's subsequent sacrifice, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
This is the result of the extremely strong sense of immersion. Most players who did not play the Dream City Reborn storyline, after watching episodes seven, eight, and nine of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, when Sayaka transforms into a mermaid witch and Kyoko decides to perish together with her.
Viewers were mostly expressing sentiments like, "Poor Sayaka, I'm crying my eyes out!", "The red and blue team is so cute!", and "I want to see the next episode right now!"
But at this moment, the players of Fantasy City felt more like... wanting to save them!
This desire to save the characters from their tragic fates reached its peak in episode ten after Homura Akemi's story was revealed.
As Hato watched Homura reincarnate so many times yet still unable to save Madoka, and how everything she did ultimately led to a tragic end…
Most players of Fantasy City are probably thinking, "Damn it, I can't take it anymore! I want to punch Kyubey to pieces! Damn it, developers, hurry up and update the Madoka Magica story content!"
That's right, this is the sentiment of most Dream City players, because at this moment they are not just spectators watching the magical girl's tragic fate, but players... or rather, heroes who once saved the entire Dream City.
"If the story of Puella Magi Madoka Magica took place in a fantasy city! Would I let Mami Tomoe and Sayaka suffer like this? Would I let Homura Akemi put up with this? I'd just go and fight Kyubey!"
Then, someone shouted it out in the public chat, and unsurprisingly, it was liked by players all over the server and made visible to everyone.
Just as Kiyono Hai had predicted, all the players in the entire Dream City server were somewhat restless because of Madoka's tenth episode.
It's no exaggeration to say that if someone told these players in the fantasy city that they could save these girls from their tragic fate, they would be willing to pay any price.
And at that very moment, Snow Island suddenly spoke up on the public chat, asking a classic line on behalf of all the reborn beings: "What about me?"
"What about all the reborn ones? Or... what about the other magical girls who are trapped in despair? Don't their lives matter?"
When Yukishima asked that question, the players who were shouting "I want to save all magical girls!" in the public chat fell into an eerie silence once again.
Snow Island was aware of the dilemma players were facing, and she was about to set an example by being the first to declare that she would dedicate her entire account to her daughter.
At this moment, Shimazu Sousuke, the guild leader of the Starfire Alliance, suddenly stepped forward and delivered a speech using the extremely expensive server-wide announcement megaphone.
"To all players of Dream City, most of the 5,721 players currently online in our Starfire Alliance, including myself, have decided, after a unanimous discussion, to offer up our save files. We will use our save files as fuel to transform into the power of that future goddess! We will continue to burn until she completely defeats the Witch Night!"
The announcement from the Spark Alliance caused an uproar among all players on the Dream City server.
Although most of the players in Starfire Alliance have quit the game, even after three years, many of them are still top players with a good reputation in Dream City!
These are the big shots who stand at the very top of the dream city... who actually decided to give up their game save data so easily?
"I'm not making this announcement to encourage everyone to follow suit. After all, our Starfire Alliance's main battlefield is in the Holy Stars... I think if there's anything that can make our accounts, which we've been away from for years, put to good use and keep burning brightly, this might be it! So after Witch's Night ends, please take good care of our 'new' guild."
Shimazu Sousuke didn't intend to coerce anyone, and the reason why the entire Spark Alliance decided to delete their accounts was quite genuine: 'It's not a game I mainly play anyway, so even though it's a little painful to delete them, it doesn't really matter.'
"Stop talking! Let's level up together after Witch's Night ends, President Shimazu!"
"We'll go to 'The Sacred Stars' to thank you then!"
The members of the Starfire Alliance guild who decided to make sacrifices for all players on the server were hailed as heroes!
Everyone was in high spirits and grateful as they bid farewell to these heroes.
"Then please watch closely! This is the final battle for the Starfire Alliance in Dream City!"
Without further hesitation, Shimazu Sousuke led his guild members to take out the 'Return Black Box' that the future god had distributed to each player's mailbox.
Once this item is activated, all the levels, abilities, equipment, and items in this account will be absorbed by the black box and transformed into the power of the future god.
Player Night Voyager, level 120, turned into firewood and began to burn. Comment: It's rare to feel the passion of my youth again.
Player Mizorei, level 120, has turned into firewood and begun to burn. Message: Actually, I had several alt accounts, so don't be sad for me.
Player Bai Yan, level 120, turned into firewood and began to burn. Message: "Anything is fine as long as it doesn't harm my Xia Nuoer."
Beneath the endless stream of text, the members of the Starfire Alliance truly transformed into guiding stars for all players in the dreamlike city.
Their game characters burst into flames that pierced the sky, the flames streaking across the dark night sky and heading straight for the location of the Colossus.
Owlface is currently in a wilderness area, dragging the Colossus along.
This guy's AOE attack range is just too big, and Xiaomian has to concentrate on dodging it. Because of this, she hasn't slept much for two days and two nights.
If it weren't for the power of the World-Destroying Witch secretly maintaining her mind, Owlface might have had to 'voluntarily' delete her account in reality before being killed by the Giant Warrior.
Just as Xiao Mian was wondering when this iron lump would stop, countless sparks suddenly burst from the sky and crashed into the giant machine like meteorites.
The colossus, which should have been invincible, was actually thrown off balance by the burst of fire.
What's going on? Has the official team finally started to fix this bug?
But Owlface quickly realized that the figures amidst the flames were actually... players?!
"Hey! Have you guys found a way to take down this bastard? Share it with us!"
