MTLNOVEL Chapter 31 Sea of Memories_2
"The ability of the 'Sea of Memories' has become broader compared to 'Memory,' surpassing the concept of ordinary 'things' and able to record more exceptional, magical phenomena."
Hong Siyu was checking the books in front of her, speaking with a calm tone as she introduced, "Compared to before where it could only record ordinary objects and spell techniques, the 'Sea of Memories' can recreate illusory environments, scenes, and even events. Moreover, its recording principle has changed compared to 'Memory'; I don't need to understand the essence of the thing, but rather document it as I see and know it, then it can naturally reproduce the functions from the memories."
"Even though such recordings, if even a hair's breadth off, could result in the final reproduction being a thousand miles from the original, at least on the surface, they all look the same."
Her voice was not loud, and with the barrier of the bookshelves in front of her, this conversation couldn't reach Yuan's ears. Clearly, she was explaining this for Emerald Sparrow:
"Unfortunately, senior, it came too late. I didn't have time to record enough on it and could only hastily select some from the kingdom's archives at the last minute."
"What did you record before you came?" Although Emerald Sparrow was full of questions, she knew now was not the time for idle chat, so she looked towards the bookshelves not far away and got straight to the point.
"Magical gear."
"Magical gear?"
"Yes," replied Hong Siyu succinctly, "Dozens of types of magical gear selected from the records."
As she spoke these words, the orderly bookshelves in front of her transformed once again. From the spread pages of the books, various shapes of objects began to emerge.

At first glance, most of these objects were ordinary, everyday items or conventional weapons. But with Hong Siyu's introduction, Emerald Sparrow understood the nature of these items—magical gear.
Among these magical gears, some were quite familiar to her, all from past well-known magical girls; others were quite foreign, evidently found by Hong Siyu from the kingdom's archives.
"Condense Air, Flame Prison, Ring Knot..."
On the other side, Yuan blurted out the names of some of the magical gear.
Looking at the magical gear emerging from the pages, her expression, originally slightly puzzled, showed a touch of realization, followed by a much stronger interest: "I see, after it blossoms, it can copy other people's magical gear? Not a bad ability at all."
"These magical gears... they're not all genuine, are they?"
Differing from Yuan's entirely unconcerned demeanor, Semi's thought process was clearly more pessimistic: "If they are all genuine, aren't we going to meet our end here?"
"Whether they're genuine or not, we'll know after the fight."
Yuan's black and white dichromatic pupils once again appeared in her eyes as she took a deep breath and exhaled a white mist from her mouth and nose: "There are quite a few old adversaries in here, they better not just be for show, that would really disappoint me."
With these words, she exerted force with her feet, kicking off from the wall of the opposite office building, and charged straight toward Hong Siyu's direction.
The battle reignited from there.
The magical gear that appeared from the books wasn't driven by people, but under Hong Siyu's command, they took flight towards Yuan's direction. The special abilities possessed by these magical gears were also activated, and for a time, various magical power fluctuations tangled into chaos, completely obscuring the scene within their bounds.
Meanwhile, on the streets outside the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, a large number of pedestrians had already gathered. The battle raging above was so intense that these onlookers couldn't help but stop to watch, wondering what was happening at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau.
To disperse these gathered onlookers, numerous employees from the security department were dispatched to the bureau's entrance, beginning to forcibly clear the crowd to prevent any harm coming to them.
Elsewhere, notifications sent directly from the director had already been delivered to every employee of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau—there is a battle with a magical girl and an enemy at the top floors of the main office building, and all department staff should evacuate orderly to a safe location.
Perhaps because the base had been raided by Black Ash Dawn just a month prior, most of the employees had become immune to such events, showing little surprise.
However, among the evacuating employees, some with sharp eyes looked up at the sky as they left the main office building. Although they saw explosions like fireworks, they did not see any Remnant Beasts as they had imagined.
As for the questions that these people might have, it was no longer within the consideration of the magical girls.
Blazing Flame, Thunder, Wind Vortex, the magical gear abilities burst forth one after another in pursuit of Yuan, even these were just the more identifiable abilities among countless other more covert ones.
Yuan wielded her inky, liquid-like weapon, the "Bai Wu" magical gear, changing it into various forms in her hands—now a sword, now a knife, now a spear, now a dagger... She fought against various magical gears with an array of weapons, with the "clang clang" of metal collision resounding nonstop.
The special abilities of the magical gears, blended with the white fog around her, formed a mass that couldn't penetrate close to her—at most, they could only spiral outward.
As the fight ensued, this seemingly one-sided battle gradually balanced out. Yuan's movements among the magical gears grew more graceful and relaxed, ever more at ease. If not for her already tattered Daoist robes now completely turned into rags, no one would be able to tell that she was in a battle.
