Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Countless people have asked this question.

　And Cong Yu always gives similar answers...

　"I don't know, but I believe... we will win!"

　Cong Yu stated confidently.

　This is his declaration of victory!

　……

　"Buzzing..."

　The instant after Cong Yu finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from behind everyone... near the Cape Canaveral launch site.

　It seems that something has connected the present with the future, breaking down boundaries and creating a passage...

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Rap King: "..."

　"what……"

　Damn it, he'll never say "we'll win" again!

　Chapter 866 Continental Drift Theory

　What can exist simultaneously in the present and the future?

　Yes, there must be some things that will always endure, moving towards the future without ever changing...

　For example, "rocks buried deep underground".

　Unfortunately, such a thing cannot serve as a conduit for building something.

　Just like the conditions that needed to be met for Moira's birth, so-called "great achievements" require certain limitations to be realized.

　Send the soul and matter together to the past.

　What constructed this passage was the uncorrupted soul and the material itself, worthy of praise.

　They are the same.

　……

　Even with the power of faith, it is only possible to create a channel for teleportation when the past and future are identical.

　Moirai's choice was the Machine God Soldier.

　In its timeline, the people who were created into Machine God Soldiers, and the matter that constituted Machine God Soldiers in its timeline.

　Let this divine weapon stand in its future location, at 28 degrees 24 minutes north latitude and 80 degrees 36 minutes west longitude.

　This is the closest place to "heaven".

　In the distant past, at a time when it was about to be born but had not yet been born, the Machine God, which had been transformed beyond its time, stood there.

　Unlike parallel worlds where "sameness" diminishes each other upon contact.

　When the "sameness" of different times stands in the same place at different moments, immortal souls resonate with each other.

　Perhaps ordinary people in the past did not know this.

　However, Moira wasn't actually as confident as the angel described, because she clearly understood...

　I feel like there's not enough time.

　In the case of humanity's proactive self-destruction (transformation), it seems that the end of "cause and effect" will be faster than her birth.

　Therefore, even at the cost of consuming a high amount of faith power, it is necessary to do so at a time when humanity is gradually dying out (transforming)...

　The interference was causing her trouble with the actions of mortals!

　What to do if the Mech Warrior can't penetrate the defenses?

　Simple... just dismantle it from within, right?!

　Then...

　What appeared before Cong Yu and everyone else, who were slow to realize what was happening, was a towering portal of light, above which stood a twisted mechanical warrior.

　The mech warrior, enveloped in light, was struggling, constantly being engulfed and disintegrated by the immense power of faith.

　On the shoulder armor of that mecha, there was a shiny identification tag belonging to the magical girl soldier stationed there.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Rap King: "..."

　After a brief silence, the rap king looked at the increasingly bright "door" and asked, "Our actions seem to be completely useless..."

　The rap king's words were quite depressing.

　"No, I believe it was useful... Moirai probably paid a price for it that we don't know about."

　Cong Yu continued, using basic logic to deduce: "Otherwise, why didn't Moirai just have the local magical girl soldiers perform the transformation from the start?"

　Hey, that makes sense.

　"Is it like 'exchanging pieces'?"

　Cong Yu nodded in agreement with what the rap king said.

　"Although our 'piece' was ultimately captured, exchanging pieces is always better than 'eating for free.'"

　Okay, that made the rap king feel a little better.

　But that's not the problem, it's...

　"What's next?"

　The rap king asked, pointing to his waist.

　The walkie-talkies were constantly transmitting reports, requests, and instructions from various defense lines.

　Cong Yu's expression, however, was not as bad as expected...

　"Heh...isn't this quite interesting?"

　Cong Yu said this, then took the walkie-talkie from the rap king's waist: "Attention everyone, attention everyone."

　Cong Yu spoke in a remarkably calm tone.

　This worried the rap king, who began to wonder if Cong Yu was going crazy. He tried to comfort her, saying, "It's okay, bro, actually..."

　Then, Cong Yu's words made his comforting expression freeze on the spot.

　"Give up Florida!"

　Cong Yu announced this, his eyes constantly revealing deep thought, but his words didn't seem to come from careful consideration—

　"I am Cong Yu, the King of Wind City, and beside me stands the King of America—Michael Creeper. We declare once again..."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he narrowed his eyes: "Announce to the world! The entire United States is moving away from Florida and beginning its self-retreat!"

　As Cong Yu spoke, he looked up at the filming helicopter high in the sky and at the reporter who was holding a camera with great excitement.

　These words will be genuinely conveyed to the whole world.

　"Next, we will dissect Florida, rewrite the world map and the distribution of continents, and complete a true great contraction!"

　The rap king, who was being represented, opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, yet still wanted to speak.

　But in the end, he chose to comply...

　All I could do was shrug.

　What can I say?

　-

　"Doctor, let me tell you, I was looking for ordinary people buried underground all day yesterday, and I searched until 11 o'clock, but I didn't feel sleepy at all!"

　In response to Nagashima Koki's words, her attention was focused on the doctor on the screen, and she casually replied, "Of course, you're a monster now..."

　Before the doctor could finish speaking, Cong Yu's head popped out from the wall and grabbed Nagashima Koki: "Come with me! There's no time to explain! Get in the car!"

　With that, Cong Yu stuffed Nagashima Koki into the Jormungandr train and then immediately disappeared from the office.

　doctor:"……"

　doctor:"???"

　-

　"Brother Cong Yu... what are you doing?"

　"That's what Nagashima Koki asked."

　For Nagashima Koki, who was clearly still confused, Congyu quickly explained the situation while the train was heading to America.

　Because the explanation was quite detailed, Nagashima Koki understood...

　"Oh, so the goal is to make sure everyone in Florida leaves. So I'm using X-ray vision to make sure no one is missed...right?"

　Cong Yu nodded at Nagashima Koki's more concise statement, then added, "Wait a minute, let's go pick someone up first."

　Are you picking someone up?

　"Oh."

　Nagashima Koki answered obediently, then, as if remembering something, asked curiously, "Brother Congyu, what did you mean by cutting and continental distribution... how do you do that?"

　As she spoke, Nagashima Koki gestured wildly and speculated, "Are you going to use your train to devour the land and buildings piece by piece, and then spit them out at a designated location?"

　(Jormungandr Train: Hey! What the hell is this kid?!)

　"Of course not... although it's not impossible, but that would definitely divide the building into pieces, which is pointless."

　Cong Yu said, which was exactly what he had just wanted to say: "Rely on the strength of the people we are going to pick up now."

　What power could accomplish this?

　Nagashima Koki couldn't quite imagine it.

　Cong Yu's answer was also very simple—

　"Are you familiar with... the theory of continental drift?"

　Chapter 867 Contraction

　Who is the "strongest" person Cong Yu has ever seen?

　Chi You, I suppose... it must be Chi You.

　But if we include other people who might destroy the world after "Extinction Unleashed," then it's uncertain.

　Anyway, it must be someone other than Etzel and King Odin.

　But judging it from the perspective of combat power is probably inappropriate... Just as if a range is limited, anyone can be the strongest.

　At this moment, under these circumstances, there is only one truly useful person... only that one person.

　What to say?

　The person you've just charmed will immediately come in handy.

　Does this feel like an official appointment?

　"Noah, you said... you could [arbitrarily piece together continents, even submerge everything], right?"

　Cong Yu said this, sincerely hoping that the other party's words were not just for show.

　Otherwise, while it's not impossible to continue the "great contraction," Jormungandr would really have to eat dirt and then vomit it out.

　Moreover, the continent formed in that way would need to be solidified by other useful people from other factions before it could be rebuilt.

　(Jormungandr Train: NO!)

　Or perhaps the best option would be to simply abandon the last vestige of hope and give up on Earth altogether... but there's no need for that.

　Noah simply nodded in response to Cong Yu's words...

　"Um

　"I really can do it... When I saw what you said on TV, I knew you would come looking for me."

　As he said this, Noah gave a slightly bitter and profound smile: "For the first time, I realized that my power could be used to save something... rather than simply to cause extinction and flood."
