97: Uses of magical pets

In the days after Nelson withdrew his gaze, this territory, once spied upon by The Strong Ones, suddenly boiled over.

Countless Monsters surged out like a tide, hissing and roaring, sweeping toward cities in every direction.

The Strong Ones watching from the shadows observed this vast spectacle from afar.

They finally understood where that sudden Monster disaster from a year ago had originated.

If the source was this "Evil" Your Highness, then many things could be explained.

After realizing this, those existences who still dared to spy withdrew their gazes one after another, like a receding tide, no longer paying attention to this land about to fall.

After all, as long as this matter had nothing to do with the Savage Beast Civilization, it wasn't worth wasting too much energy here during this tense period.

Meanwhile, the true mastermind, Xiang Yan, had long since embarked on a new journey.

The hustle and bustle of the city were like passing clouds in his eyes; the towering buildings and gorgeous decorations could not arouse the slightest interest in him.

He had only one goal, and that was to prepare enough bargaining chips and backup plans for himself.

As for the previous plan to raise a Magical Girl, one could only say that plans could not keep up with changes; he would talk about it later if there was a chance.

Every time he passed through a city, he would silently leave behind some special "gifts".

It was something shaped like a needle tip, but in terms of size, the shortest of these things was a meter long.

After Xiang Yan left these things behind, he hid them, looking forward to the day when they would play a role in the future.

On this side, while Xiang Yan was traveling, Mizuno Hiroshi led his Monster legions to capture cities and strongholds, winning every battle and leaving the Magical Girls of various cities in disarray.

Even a Magical Girl army that had just defeated a terrifying Monster King was defeated by his grand army, and the title of Monster Emperor began to spread.

In Sacred Hall Heaven, during a familiar meeting, the familiar Magical Girl councilors gathered together once again to begin the meeting.

"Fellow colleagues, the army under this so-called Monster Emperor has captured hundreds of cities in less than a month, and too many ordinary people have died at their hands. I propose sending people down to quell the turmoil!" a councilor wearing magnificent robes said loudly.

"Seconded! Councilor Canghong is right. Their danger is simply too great. Moreover, they have mastered the technology to transform ordinary people into Monsters on a large scale. If we let them run rampant, the consequences will be unimaginable!" another councilor said.

"Objection! These Monsters all come from the territory of 'Evil' Your Highness, and even that Monster Emperor who can transform Monsters on a large scale is very likely an Apostle of 'Evil' Your Highness. If we act and anger 'Evil' Your Highness, do you want to endure the strike of a Your Highness?" a councilor wearing a Lolita dress said.

"Seconded! Matters involving Your Highness must be handled with caution. Lord Yin is still recovering from the last incident, and at a time like this, we cannot afford the loss of any Lord."

Upon hearing this, the meeting hall, which had been noisy with everyone holding their own opinions, instantly fell silent, and the councilors fell silent one after another.

"Then what... what should we do?" a young councilor asked timidly, her voice echoing in the quiet hall.

"Report it to the Lords and let them decide." Purple Pet sighed, rubbing her eyebrows, a sense of powerlessness welling up in her heart.

Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly oppressive.

Finally, a beam of light descended from the sky, landing in the center of the round table, forming a messenger in the shape of a white dove.

"Councilors, regarding the Monster incident, the Lords have made a decision as follows..." Although the messenger's voice was soft, it carried an unquestionable majesty, "This is a rare opportunity for training troops, and we should cultivate a large number of new-generation Magical Girls..."

The councilors in the hall held their breath, listening carefully to every word.

"The council should prepare to activate the Magical Soul-Returning Monument in order to resurrect the Magical Girls who have died in the world over the years due to various factors."

"The above is the decision of the Lords." After speaking, the white dove messenger turned into a beam of light and left.

After hearing the Lords' decision, the council resumed, but this time the discussion was about who should handle the various related matters.

Purple Pet walked with light steps through the flower-filled plain.

A breeze blew by, bringing bursts of refreshing floral fragrance mixed with the scent of soil.

The sunlight shone on her, warm and cozy, dispelling some of the tension in her heart.

In the center of the plain, an ancient stone monument stood towering, as if a silent giant, guarding this peaceful and tranquil land.

The stone monument covered an area of more than ten square kilometers and was nearly a hundred kilometers high. Its surface was covered with intricate patterns and various Magical Pet patterns of different shapes, shining with a mysterious luster under the sunlight.

Purple Pet walked to the stone monument, took a deep breath, and took out a yellowed parchment from her personal space.

On the parchment, the marks of the Lords were clearly imprinted, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

She carefully placed the parchment on the stone monument, and the parchment, like melting snowflakes, slowly seeped into the stone monument and disappeared.

The next moment, the stone monument erupted with dazzling light, illuminating the entire plain.

Amidst the light, the Magical Pet patterns on the stone monument seemed to come alive, twisting their bodies and making bursts of joyful chirps.

A snow-white cat was the first to rush out of the stone monument, landing gracefully on the grass. It proudly raised its head and let out a crisp meow, as if declaring its return.

Immediately after, a fiery red bird spread its wings and flew high, drawing a magnificent arc in the sky, its red body like flames streaking across half the sky.

More and more Magical Pets surged out from the stone monument. They had different forms and different abilities, and the magic power fluctuations they emitted varied in strength, but they could not hide their excitement.

The sky above the plain was lively for a time, filled with all kinds of strange lights and sounds.

Purple Pet looked at the spectacular scene before her, her nervous mood gradually calming down, replaced by an inexplicable excitement and anticipation.

Accompanying the appearance of these Magical Pets, the light of the stone monument became even brighter. The Magical Pets gathered around did not scatter and flee, but simultaneously let out a long howl, releasing the magic power that had been accumulated in their bodies for a long time.

The light around them reflected each other with the stone monument, forming beams of dazzling light that shot straight into the sky.

Next, a wonderful thing happened.

On the surface of the stone monument, countless tiny light spots flew out like Firefly, and the Magical Pets used their own magic power to guide this power, drifting toward the contracts they had just manifested with their most important partners.

The light spots sank into the contracts, and the Soul fragments of the Magical Girls who had once been together drifted out from the contracts.

Under the guidance of the stone monument's power, these fragments slowly condensed into illusory figures.

The Magical Pets once again drew the power of the stone monument and injected it into those illusory figures.

One by one, the illusory figures emitted dazzling light. As the light shone, one figure after another appeared from within them, and they gradually became clear and vivid.

The fallen Magical Girls slowly revived under the combined action of the Magical Pets and the power of the stone monument.

"I... am I still alive?" An orange-haired girl slowly opened her eyes, looking blankly at the strange scene around her, her tone full of confusion.

Her Magical Pet—a snow-white owl—nuzzled her cheek affectionately, letting out a low cry, as if comforting her.

"Where is this? Didn't I already die?" A blonde, blue-eyed girl covered her head, trying hard to recall what had happened in the past, but only felt a blank space.

Her Magical Pet—a small, cute pink monkey—jumped anxiously around her, gently patting her hand with its furry tail.

Facing the doubts of their partners, the Magical Pets began to explain to them the various information they had received in the parchment before coming out of the stone monument.

As the explanation concluded, the girls' expressions changed from initial confusion to determination.

Even though they had died once, they were still willing to fight to protect the beauty of the world.
