The sky trembled as countless gold coins rained down like a storm.
Golden light tore through the clouds, falling wildly, spreading into an endless golden flood. Each coin carried a heavy pressure, distorting the air itself.
At the Witch Academy, at that moment, whether on the road, inside buildings, or wherever they were, everyone—teachers, students alike—looked up simultaneously.
The void shattered like a mirror, cracks spreading for hundreds of millions of miles. From the pitch-black fissures, a river of stars poured down, silver-white star trails and brilliant stardust interweaving and surging.
“My God… That, that is…”
Everyone’s voice trembled, unable to believe what they saw.
At the end of the star river, a short-haired girl with golden hair stood in the air, her golden pupils glancing sideways downward. This gaze seemed to come from the end of time and space, cold yet with a hint of curiosity.
“Run, run!”
As the golden rain fell from the sky, some pedestrians failed to dodge. The coins landed on them, and strangely, no blood appeared. Instead, gold light spread over their bodies. In the blink of an eye, a living witch turned into a lifeless golden statue.
1000
People finally reacted, screaming in terror.
The gold coins seemed to be the embodiment of some rule. Whether living or non-living, the moment they touched them, they were forcibly turned to gold.
In an instant, the entire Witch Academy was coated in gold. The golden light tore through the long night, dazzling yet extremely eerie.
“Everyone, hide in the Emergency Folding Space!”
At that moment, right below the crack in the sky, Dean Orphina suddenly appeared.
On her wrist, the Light of Hope flickered with gold light, forming a golden barrier around her. The gold coins hit the barrier, only causing slight ripples before disappearing.
Below, protected by Orphina, Nova and her group were unharmed.
But the little loli Hua Manlou, seeing that most of her subordinates had turned into golden statues, cried bitterly.
“Waaa, Xiao Liu, Lao Ba!”
“My bank, my subordinates… Waaa, such a loss, such a loss!”
Hua Manlou rolled on the ground throwing a tantrum, but she moved quickly. The entrance to the Emergency Folding Space opened behind her, and she was the first to slip in.
Nova looked up at the crack, her face full of shock.
‘What… what is going on?’
“Let’s go.”
Ling’s voice sounded from behind.
Fortunately, the Academy had Emergency Folding Spaces, designed for major disasters like this.
But for some reason, Ling felt that this sudden, divine-punishment-like scene was related to Dalian.
No, to be precise, to the person who cracked Dalian’s account password.
At that moment, the entire planet of the Witch Academy was being covered by gold at an unimaginable speed.
But the Academy reacted quickly. Everywhere, entrances to Emergency Folding Spaces of various sizes flickered. The surviving teachers and students hurriedly hid inside to prevent further losses.
Seeing that the evacuation was mostly complete, Orphina breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, several space rifts tore open.
At this moment, the Great Witches had no reservations and freely tore through space.
“Sequence Witch?”
The first to arrive was Zi Tong.
Then came Di Na.
Next, a flash of blood-red lightning, the Great Witch of Lightning, Che Lei.
Behind her were two slightly disheveled figures: Yi Fulin and Yi Funa.
A sword light shot into the sky, and the Great Witch, Bu Yao.
Even Eva had removed her cognitive means and joined them.
At this moment, regardless of past grudges or where they were, all Great Witches still in the Witch Academy rushed over at the first opportunity.
“Yes, I can feel a trace of rule power in these gold coins, very much like a Sequence’s conceptual power.” Bu Yao held a long sword as a gold coin landed on it.
The next moment, the blade, full of cold light, began to be coated with gold light visibly.
Bu Yao quickly withdrew her sword. With the protection of Orphina’s Light of Hope, they were temporarily safe from this conceptual erosion.
After soothing the cursing sword spirit, Bu Yao looked at Orphina.
“What exactly happened? Is it that one from before?”
Previously, a Sequence Witch had suddenly appeared at the Academy.
But Orphina insisted that it was her teacher, the Sequence Witch, 【Hope】.
However, anyone with eyes could tell that was nonsense.
“No.”
Orphina was adamant.
She looked up at the crack in the sky, at the figure at the end of the star river watching them coldly.
The pupils were also golden, but her teacher was much gentler than this one.
“Gold coins like rain, turning everything to gold upon touch… Doesn’t this resemble a Sequence that was devoured?” Di Na looked at the constantly falling coins outside the barrier, deep in thought.
“And, don’t you find these coins familiar?”
At these words, everyone was startled.
Eva reached out her hand, and the others’ hearts tightened.
A strange scene occurred: the moment she touched a coin, her palm glowed with gold, but quickly returned to normal.
Orphina gave her a deep look.
‘So this is the peak of a Great Witch…’
“No mistake, it’s Moni.”
Eva’s eyes were full of shock.
She opened her hand, and the Moni coin fell straight down.
“Then I know who that is.”
Di Na frowned upon hearing this.
She stared at the end of the star river, at that extremely cold golden pupil.
“Sequence Witch, 【Gilding】, Moni.”
The 【Gilding】 Sequence, a long-fallen Sequence.
This was a Sequence about wealth. No one knew how this Sequence had fallen.
The world only knew that the Sequence Witch, Moni, after her death, her flesh and blood turned into the river of stars, and that river flowed with countless gold coins.
Those gold coins were engraved with faint magic power, usable in alchemy, cultivation, and even restoring one’s depleted magic power.
Witches named the coins after the Sequence Witch Moni, using them as universal currency.
All present were Great Witches, and they had all heard the legend of Moni to some extent.
But they never expected that the legend would reappear now. Their minds went blank.
“Why… why is She looking here?”
Zi Tong asked, puzzled.
They suddenly realized that Moni seemed to have no hostility.
She seemed to have been attracted by some existence, crossing endless time and space to cast her gaze here.
“This place is…”
At the end of the star river, there was a hint of curiosity in Moni’s eyes.
She had felt a slight disturbance from beyond time.
Like an ant tickling the sole of her foot.
Very slight, but she still felt it, so she cast her gaze.
She saw, in a small space, a person, a cat, and a doll huddled together, trembling.
Was it them?
Moni wanted to curiously move closer, but soon, the laws of time and space constrained her from going further.
“Senior, you’ve crossed the line.”
At that moment, a soft sigh sounded in her ear.
Moni’s pupils constricted.
She saw, in the world below, a certain probability was leaping wildly in an incomprehensible manner.
Her Sequence concept was being deconstructed and covered by this probability.
Moni withdrew her gaze.
Everything vanished.
