Witch Special

Under Lin Zhenxi's incredible gaze, the size of the world will suppressed by Tornado continued to decline.

From a great god of unknown height, he turned into a Titan who could move mountains and overturn seas. From a Titan, he turned into a mountain giant with infinite strength. From a mountain giant, he turned into a Cyclops who could lift ancient trees upside down and fight dragons. From a Cyclops, he turned into a giant monster wielding a giant club. From a giant monster, he turned into an ogre. From an ogre, he turned into a troll. From a troll, he turned into an ordinary human. From an adult, he turned into a child. From a child, he turned into a baby. Finally, he turned into a small black stickman the size of a palm, and was locked up in a cage woven by Tornado's telekinesis.

Saitama had already leaped off Hayashi Maki the moment the World Will shifted its focus to him. He now crouched beside her, curiously observing his formidable opponent. The sunlight, unfiltered by the atmosphere, was incredibly strong, shining brightly on Saitama's bald head, making him look like a walking, bright lightbulb.

Indeed, during this struggle against the will of the world, Saitama's space suit completely ripped apart, revealing the clothes underneath—his usual heroic outfit made of high-strength materials. It seems Saitama has already grasped the reality of his freedom of movement on the moon, and now, even without the protective suit, he behaves very naturally.

Hayashi Maki's appearance is similar. Protected by the constant ecosystem, she wears her usual outfit for outings: a white shirt and tight-fitting pencil pants, a very casual style. Putting Hayashi Maki, Saitama, and Tornado together, Tornado, wrapped up tightly in a space suit, seems like a standout.

But this is clearly on the moon, in an ultra-vacuum environment, with the ambient temperature exceeding 100 degrees Celsius under direct sunlight!

Lin Zhenxi looked at the little black man who was imprisoned by Tornado but was still very dishonest, and felt that it was still not safe, so he took out a small bottle of magic essence from his space cube, used the magnification spell to make it the size of a flask, then poked Tornado's waist, unscrewed the wooden cork of the bottle, and signaled Tornado to put the little black man into the bottle.

Everything that happened today had severely challenged Tornado's understanding of the world, even causing her to question whether the world she knew was real. Even with her pride, she no longer had the awkward thought, "Huh? Why should I just do whatever you say?" She didn't even consider whether Lin Zhenxi could simply take out a glass bottle to contain the little black man. She didn't even bother to consider where Lin Zhenxi had pulled out the bottle. She simply compressed and stretched the telekinetic cage, sending the little black man, also compressed into a small cylinder, into the bottle provided by Lin Zhenxi.

Seeing the little black man enter the bottle, Lin Zhenxi put the cork back in and canceled the magnification spell. The bottle instantly shrank to the size of a perfume bottle, and the little black man inside was squeezed into a long black mass. However, the little black man soon adjusted his body size again, becoming an extremely small form that could still stretch out its arms and legs even within a volume of dozens of milliliters.

Sure enough, this guy can adjust his body size to a certain extent.

The fact that the World Will suddenly transformed into its current state after Lin Zhenxi severed all energy exchange between the planet and the outside world suggests that the strength of the World Will is heavily dependent on its connection to the planet. Once this connection is severed, though the mechanism is unknown, the World Will will instantly deflate and shrink, like a balloon with its airtight core suddenly removed.

Cutting off energy exchange is actually quite easy; sealing off an entire planet is more difficult. While Lin Zhenxi's planetary barrier could still last for a long time, the larger the system, the more prone to problems it would be, especially with billions of presumably restless humans still within it. Therefore, Lin Zhenxi chose to transfer the little black man to a small enchanted bottle that also had the property of sealing off energy.

The magic essence must be sealed and stored in a high-pressure environment, but it is far from enough to just withstand high pressure. It must also remain stable rather than being passively converted into magic due to the difference in magic inside and outside the bottle. Ordinary glass cannot block the flow of magic, so the inner walls of these small bottles made by Lin Zhenxi also have the ability to block energy interactions, creating a completely closed magical environment inside the bottle. This closed environment can only be destroyed by pulling out the cork.

After transferring the little black man into the small bottle, Lin Zhenxi contacted Yanyan through the familiar contract and asked her to close the planet's barrier.

Lin Zhenxi had already demonstrated her power, so the Human Coalition Government wouldn't dare to do anything against her anymore. Otherwise, if Lin Zhenxi were to strike back at Black Sky, no one would be able to withstand it. The shorter the energy exchange blockage, the better. If the planetary barrier was open for too long, not to mention the impact on the planet, the magical essence Lin Zhenxi had accumulated over such a long time would evaporate.

This was far more than simply wasting money. Even though she was about to leave this world, she still felt deeply distressed by this meaningless waste. Even if she couldn't take the magic essence with her, wouldn't it be nice to use it to recharge the Space Cube?

"Yanyan, close the planet barrier."

However, Yanyan did not execute Lin Zhenxi's order immediately, but expressed her concern for Lin Zhenxi through the mental communication of the familiar contract.

"Maki, tell me quickly, what's going on over there, meow? Are you okay? What about the World Will? Has it compromised, meow?"

Lin Zhenxi felt warm in her heart. It was not in vain that she raised the cat. Who said that cats can never be tamed?

"Don't worry. Although the process is a bit bizarre, I think the world's will should be willing to have a good talk with me." Lin Zhenxi said, shaking the small bottle, and the little black man in the bottle also bumped around back and forth inside, looking extremely embarrassed.

"That's good, meow. Cat still has many delicious things to eat. If Maki dies, cat can only return to the Witch Book and wait for the next owner." In the telepathic communication, Yanyan's innermost thoughts were revealed without reservation.

Lin Zhenxi: (‵′)

So you are worried that you won't be able to eat delicious food if I die. Let me tell you, you poor cat, you have to feed me dry cat food for the next week. If I add a freeze-dried grain or a drop of goat's milk to it, my word "Lin" will be written upside down.

Lin Zhenxi's thoughts were also conveyed to Yanyan, who was so frightened that she meowed for a long time, but she didn't know how to smooth things over. The bad thing about telepathy is that neither party has any privacy. The other party can know everything they are thinking, which is actually not a good thing.

In the end, Lin Zhenxi graciously brushed aside the topic and said to Yanyan, "Shut down the planetary barrier, but keep the probes in low-power standby mode first. I want the United Government to believe they can be activated again at any time. If we maximize the energy absorption power of the probes, how much energy will the Floating City still need to bear?"

"There's absolutely no need to consume energy, meow. Absorbing energy is the basic function of a planetary barrier. If we simply activate the levitation technique, the speed at which they absorb energy alone is enough to make them completely self-sufficient."

"Really?... I feel like I've accidentally designed something truly remarkable."

Lin Zhenxi's original idea was to build a cover to cover the planet and cut off the connection between the world's will and the planet. All the functions of the planetary barrier were designed to achieve this goal. In the process of pursuing this goal, Lin Zhenxi didn't pay much attention to what functions the components of the planetary barrier had. She only cared about whether the overall performance of this system could meet the standards.

"Then let's do this. Close the planet's barrier and keep the probe suspended."

"Okay, meow, planet barrier, close!" Yanyan said and hung up the mental communication. Then Lin Zhenxi looked up again and saw that the gray-white curtain covering the planet began to fade and dissipate.

Only when you lose something can you appreciate it. Although the time Lin Zhenxi held up the planet's barrier was actually very short, even just a dozen minutes. But even these short ten minutes caused great panic among the humans living on the planet.

This was different from the meteorite apocalypse. The meteorite wouldn't arrive for a week, so at least they had a clear death date. They could indulge themselves, vent their feelings, and do anything they had wanted but dared not do. But when the sky was shrouded in darkness, none of them knew what it meant. It was as if they could be killed in the next second. This fear of being shrouded in the unknown was even more despairing.

But that is other people's business. Lin Zhenxi didn't kill anyone anyway. As for whether anyone died because of her actions, she would not repent for this indirect killing that she didn't know about.

Lin Zhenxi was now nervously watching the little black man in the bottle. The energy barrier was closing. If the bottle couldn't stop the little black man from establishing contact with the planet, then Lin Zhenxi would have to ask Yanyan to open the energy barrier again immediately.

Fortunately, the result was still very good. The little black man seemed to have realized that he could not break through the closure of the bottle. Now he was sitting at the bottom of the bottle with his knees hugged and his head lowered, with no reaction to the closure of the energy barrier.

Very good, the next step is to find a quiet place and have a good chat with this little black man about life, talk about ideals, discuss the pros and cons, and analyze the gains and losses. I believe that under the temptation of living, it should not put any obstacles in the way of Lin Zhenxi returning home.

However, just as Lin Zhenxi was happily planning her next move, Tornado beside her suddenly fell down.

Oh my god, our invincible Miss Tornado has fallen again!
