Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity

The massive dragon body was immersed in purple flames.

Qingying could even hear the sharp sound of polluted magic and pure mana repelling each other.

The entire Calamity Dragon's body was wildly exploding and melting.

Meanwhile, Qingying, dragging the unconscious Xilan beside her, looked up at the Calamity Dragon wrapped in purple flames, her mind utterly chaotic.

"Little White! He, he directly summoned a Miracle Seed!"

"In the face of a Disaster Beast's despair, a strong wish will summon a miracle," the Incubator sitting on her shoulder wagged its tail. "A strong wish, of course, doesn't happen just once, but to summon a miracle again requires an even stronger wish."

"Summon... the seed again?"

Before Qingying could even react, the Calamity Dragon's massive body burned to ashes within the purple flames!

After a human transforms into a Disaster Beast, even though the outer Disaster Beast body is composed of polluted magic, it is still connected to the nerves.

In contrast, a Magical Girl's Magical Outfit greatly reduces the sensation of pain and can even diminish negative emotions like fear. The two are simply not on the same level of existence.

Yet, that Calamity Dragon named Simo Tu, burning all over under such pure mana flames... just looking at it made Qingying feel unbearable pain all over her body.

She truly couldn't imagine why the other party showed no reaction from beginning to end!

And when the purple flames receded, a petite girl stood within them, her purple-gold long dress exceptionally eye-catching.

Only then did Qingying understand the meaning behind Little White's words about summoning a miracle again.

The sect master of the Azure Cloud Sect, the Magical Girl, Shion.

Her brain short-circuited for a moment, but Qingying desperately tried to maintain her train of thought.

Maybe the other party disguised herself as Simo Tu and infiltrated the Heart Image Remnant... then lost her seed...

Maybe the other party was originally Simo Tu of the Witch Association, who infiltrated the Azure Cloud Sect and became its sect master...

Maybe everything before her eyes was fake!

Qingying really wanted to think so, but when the other party moved, that vast, overwhelming mana made it impossible for Qingying to believe it was all fake.

Moreover, compared to a boy turning into a Magical Girl, she preferred to believe that the Azure Cloud Sect's sect master had disguised herself as Simo Tu—she should originally be a girl, which would explain everything.

Why did Simo Tu wear a mask! Because she was a girl, and would be exposed if she didn't wear a mask! Why was Simo Tu so short? Because she was a girl!

Running on the sea surface must have been her borrowing a Magical Girl's mana!

Although there were still many confusing points, in short, everything could be explained! Previously, the Azure Cloud Sect held that big sect trial, hunting down the Witch Association everywhere, all to allow Shion to smoothly infiltrate the Witch Association!

What profound strategy and planning!

For a moment, Qingying felt both respect and fear towards this short girl.

More importantly, before losing her Miracle Seed, she actually managed to create a new one herself... a Magical Girl who can transform even without a seed.

I've heard that's something only Full Bloom Magical Girls can do, right?

We met once before in Jiangming City, and she directly stated she was Full Bloom.

Or is it that even Blooming Magical Girls can reach this level?

Qingying suddenly realized something: Has the Disaster Control Bureau truly explored the full potential of Blooming Magical Girls?

Although many levels have been established now, following the Azure Cloud Sect's method of dividing realms, in reality, the Disaster Control Bureau's Central Bureau rarely researches the limits of Magical Girl realms. Everyone's understanding of Blooming Magical Girls, even Seedling and Sprout ranks, is still very, very shallow. I don't know if the Central Bureau is doing this intentionally or unintentionally...

Take Qingying herself for example. She has personally witnessed the exaggerated performance of an Azure Cloud Sect 100-level Initial Entry Sprout Magical Girl, and heard the story of how Iris was casually defeated by an Azure Cloud Sect Seedling Magical Girl.

"If I could have strength like Miss Shion, maybe I wouldn't need Full Bloom either?"

She suddenly thought of this and looked at Little White.

Hearing her words, the Incubator just wagged its tail. "Of course, Little Qing. If you can become stronger, as strong as her, you won't need to consider Full Bloom anymore. But, it's very difficult, you know? To be able to erode the world with one's Personal Reality to this extent while still at the Blooming Magical Girl stage... perhaps this is the first time in history."

"I will work hard."

"Mmm, I'll always cheer for you, Little Qing. No matter which path you choose, do your best!"

Qingying, who had been feeling somewhat uneasy just moments ago, watched that purple-gold figure, and in an instant, all the unease and panic in her heart vanished.

No matter what, being by Miss Shion's side feels incredibly safe.

Unlike when I'm with Iris...

However, as a Magical Girl of the Disaster Control Bureau, I shouldn't rely on her too much...

Just as Qingying's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, over there, An Shiyu had already started babbling incoherently.

"Wh-why can you transform into a Magical Girl!"

"I know you can control polluted magic! Transforming into a Disaster Beast is a bit bizarre, but I can accept that!"

"Why a Magical Girl, though! This makes me look like a complete fool!"

"And, how could you just summon a Miracle Seed out of thin air earlier!"

"What do you think Magical Girls are..."

"Shut up."

Shion said coldly, and over there, An Shiyu reflexively closed her mouth. "Wait until I finish fighting, then talk."

Why is your mana so terrifying, completely matching my Mirror Kingdom clone?

Why can your Personal Reality cause my Heart Image Remnant to collapse?

And the seed you created with your bare hands, as a fantasy object, why didn't it disappear within my Personal Reality?

The things I want to ask are countless, but when Shion moved, An Shiyu could only remain silent.

Mainly because the original owner of this body kept begging her to be quiet.

"If you keep talking, you'll be disliked!"

"Don't ask about so many things! You'll be annoying!"

"Please, I'm begging you, don't let Jiang Si dislike me, okay..."

You're clearly shocked and curious too, aren't you?

In the end, she was almost crying, so "An Shiyu" naturally couldn't keep questioning further.

If it were before, she would have asked relentlessly, determined to understand anything she was curious about.

But now, using someone else's body, she had to restrain herself a bit...

It felt like a thousand little kittens were scratching at her heart, making her unbearably itchy. Unable to hold back, she kept staring at Shion.

But as she stared and stared, she almost forgot what she wanted to ask.

Damn it, how can this guy be so pretty!

He's a boy, right? How come after transforming, he's a little bit prettier than me?

That's not fair, is it?

By the way, does he count as male or female? An Shiyu, which one do you actually like...

While she was feeling muddled, the entire Heart Image Remnant contracted another layer.

If it weren't for someone outside freezing the mana and structure of the Heart Image Remnant, it probably would have collapsed by now.

Who knows how many people inside would survive.

The Heart Image Remnant is, after all, a spatial ability, and currently, part of its authority has been stolen by the Mirror Kingdom. If it collapses, the resulting disaster would absolutely be catastrophic...

In the distance, Shion raised her hand.

All the surrounding mana was dyed purple, then gathered in her hand.

Qingying was initially worried that her own mana would continue to be drained.

She found it wasn't. Only some scattered mana in the surroundings was being absorbed. Her own mana wasn't taken; instead, she received some replenishment.

She didn't know if Miss Shion intentionally helped her or if it was just a coincidence.

Anyway, Qingying, who had been somewhat mana-depleted, soon even felt refreshed and energetic.

Sufficient mana also helps recover quite a bit of physical strength and mental energy.

Plus, the time in Jiangming City... Miss Shion has helped me twice now...

She looked over with a touch of respect and admiration.

Shion wasn't tall, but while floating in the air, that terrifying aura made Qingying somewhat afraid to look directly at her.

The light radiating from her body seemed particularly dazzling.

Looking closely, the golden stripes on Shion's dress seemed to have turned platinum, appearing more brilliant and dazzling than before, while the purple became a bit deeper, almost seeming to verge on black.

However, overall, the changes weren't huge.

After the multitude of mana gathered in her hand, Shion finally took a step forward.

The surging mana forced Qingying to take several steps back immediately.

The unconscious Xilan was almost blown away. Qingying quickly grabbed her to prevent her from being blown somewhere else and losing her life.

After all, it's better to send a witch to the witch trial court...

When the gusting wind finally dissipated, Qingying finally sighed in relief. After tidying her somewhat disheveled hair, she looked up.

She saw that the mana in Shion's hand had completely transformed, constructing a massive longbow.

The bow's body was actually longer than Shion herself. As it settled in Shion's hand, Qingying felt the space beneath her feet, which had already collapsed once, seemed to cave in a bit more.

Just looking at it, you could tell how heavy that longbow was.

"Did you have fun hitting me just now?"

Hearing the cold words from Shion's mouth, Qingying was also stunned for a moment. She looked up at the space above.

Above the pierced-through space, on the ninth layer, that pale green Magical Girl looked down upon everything from her lofty position.

Even Shion's transformation didn't cause the slightest change in the other party's demeanor.

Just moments ago, before Shion transformed, she charged several times in her Calamity Dragon form, and each time was struck down by that Magical Girl...

Shion calmly met the gaze of the pale green Magical Girl, then suddenly stepped onto the bow's limb, bracing her arm and pulling at her waist, abruptly drawing the bowstring with one hand!

Her long hair danced in the wind. Drawing the bow was like pulling a full moon!

Brilliant, dangerous mana rapidly condensed on the bowstring. The arrow, crackling with lightning, faintly emitted a low, muffled roar, as if a beast were roaring!

When the arrow aimed at the Magical Girl above, Qingying heard a mechanical female voice giving a warning:

[Danger Level Ten. Opening all permissions for Magical Girl Mujin.]

[Please eliminate the threat swiftly!]

[Warning, warning, Danger Level Ten...]

Red light flashed within the mirrors. The sharp, piercing warning began to spread once again.

Yet, the next moment, Shion's slender, jade-white finger, hooked on the bowstring, gently released.

The dazzling purple radiance transformed into a long rainbow. Accompanied by a soaring dragon's roar, it shot straight towards the Magical Girl Mujin!

Qingying couldn't help but cover her ears.

It was like standing next to a train as a child. The deafening sound of something tearing through the air almost felt like it would rupture her eardrums!

Nine layers of space were almost dyed purple. With the momentum to pierce the heavens, it simultaneously destroyed and melted all nine spatial layers!

The Magical Girl Mujin reached out to block, but she was a step too late.

The arrow had already struck the right arm of the Magical Girl Mujin above!

Amidst the terrifying shockwave, Mujin's entire body was sent flying backward, slammed hard against the sky's barrier!

Dense, glass-like fragments fell from her body like snowflakes. From the corner of her rosy lips, blood that was startling to behold continuously flowed. She grabbed the purple arrow but couldn't pull it out for the longest time!

Not to mention Qingying, even An Shiyu, watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

Although the Mirror Kingdom's cloned Full Bloom Magical Girl couldn't be said to be at her peak—after all, she lacked a Heart Image Remnant and her mana reserves weren't as vast as a true Full Bloom Magical Girl's—in other aspects, there was almost no gap compared to a real Full Bloom Magical Girl from the Disaster Control Bureau.

Even so, she was actually shot through the right arm by this purple Magical Girl who was only at the Blooming level!

After the arrow pierced her right arm, flames continued to burn at the wound.

Even with her Full Bloom-level recovery ability, for a time, her right arm simply couldn't heal!

An Shiyu looked carefully. This was a phenomenon of mana being eroded.

The other party's mana recovery speed couldn't keep up with the erosion speed of the purple flames...

Although a Full Bloom Magical Girl's mana nature shouldn't change much, it still shouldn't be something a Blooming Magical Girl's mana can compare to, right?

Why can a Blooming Magical Girl's mana erode a Full Bloom Magical Girl's mana?

This completely overturned her worldview...

[Permissions opened. Magical Girl Mujin's magic...]

[Masterpiece, the Eighth: The Tapestry Curtain of Dimensional Space.]

With that, she casually waved her hand, and the arrow that had pierced her right shoulder suddenly vanished.

"It's spatial transfer. This ability can transfer away anything it touches. It's very troublesome to deal with. We should slowly..."

Before An Shiyu could finish speaking, over there, Shion had already drawn the longbow to its full draw dozens of times in succession!

A continuous stream of arrows shot out as if they were free, densely packed like dozens of mad dragons, tangling and roaring as they charged straight for Magical Girl Mujin!

Just as the other party kept slapping the arrows away, appearing completely at ease, a purple arrow flash, faster and sharper, abruptly shot right before her face!

The Magical Girl Mujin instinctively wanted to slap the magical arrow to transfer it away.

The originally dazzling purple radiance suddenly dissipated, revealing the girl standing on the bow's limb within!

She had actually shot herself up as the arrow!

All the Mirror Kingdom systems failed to react in time. The foot stepping on the bow, along with the bow's back, stomped onto Mujin's right hand. Amidst the sound of grinding, cracking bones, it forcefully slammed her against the ninth layer's barrier!

Pinning the other party's broken arm firmly under the bow limb, stepping on her chest, Shion's exquisite, gorgeous pupils were even colder and more indifferent than those of the cloned Magical Girl Mujin.

The bowstring was drawn again, like a full moon. At extremely close range, the arrow pressed right against the pale green pupils of Magical Girl Mujin.

"Dodge another one. Let me see."

[Warning, warning, threat level breached...]

[Warning, warning, reassessing enemy threat level...]

[Warning...]

The arrow expanded in the pale green pupils, then abruptly exploded!

Purple flames roared through the Heart Image Remnant, crashing into the vast ocean, instantly vaporizing a massive expanse of seawater!

The dragon tail disintegrated, ice lotuses shattered, and the sky-sea pillar that had been swallowing the Heart Image collapsed instantly!
