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

"Ruo Yun, where the hell is your Italian cannon!"

"Who goes out carrying a cannon!"

"Make one on the spot!"

"I'll make your big-headed ghost!"

Helen and Ruo Yun fled while bickering, as two more artillery shells came crashing behind them.

The two were instantly sent flying.

Helen, still flailing her limbs, kept shifting the blame: "It's all your fault! Why didn't you bring proper equipment!"

Ruo Yun wished she could shove her gun barrel into Helen's mouth. "If you hadn't messed around, how would we have been exposed!"

"No, I definitely wanted to taste that local specialty caviar!"

"What's so good about it? Boogers with salt. As a topping, I'd say it's not even as good as a single pickled mustard tuber!"

"Ugh, how can you describe it so disgustingly? You're making me want to vomit..."

"Vomit then, vomit! You ate so much, if you don't throw it up, are you trying to lay eggs?"

"You're the one laying eggs..."

As the two argued noisily, another shell exploded above them.

Immediately, Hyacinth grabbed the two girls, dodging the artillery shells bombarding the surroundings, and landed on the overpass ahead on the main road.

Looking at the two covered in dust from the explosions, Hyacinth felt somewhat helpless for a moment.

"You two, can you keep quiet for a while while on a mission?"

The two immediately pointed at each other, speaking in unison, "It's her fault!"

Another magic-infused artillery shell came crashing over. Hyacinth casually unfolded a mirror surface.

The magic-infused shell was reflected back. Buses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles of all kinds were sent flying. Asphalt gravel from the road sprayed everywhere, and the surrounding glass shattered like rain.

"If you keep arguing, I'll report to the Saint Hall Envoy that you're interfering with the mission progress."

Only after Hyacinth issued this warning did the two girls finally settle down.

Her dark pupils glanced at Ruo Yun, and Hyacinth sighed.

The originally fairly reliable captain had been constantly arguing with Helen ever since they met.

While it was quite amusing, if it affected the mission, it would be quite troublesome for Hyacinth.

After all, she didn't want to be expelled from the Saint Hall for mission failure—that would be too boring.

"To be honest, I told you from the start to keep an eye on her," Ruo Yun said, getting down from Hyacinth's grasp, looking at the Disaster Beasts closing in from all sides. "But you let her cause such a huge mess. Now they've all come after us."

"Eh, is it my fault?"

Hyacinth tilted her head, a smile still playing on her lips. "Alright, I hope the captain can forgive me."

"The problem is, now isn't the time to assign blame, right!"

Helen immediately picked up her weapons—two small pistols.

In reality, they didn't have much combat capability; these two small pistols were just given to her by Ruo Yun for self-defense.

She said seriously, "First, let's figure out how to deal with the current enemies!"

"Every troublemaker who causes a mess says 'don't assign blame now,' and then when it's over, they go, 'Oh well, the problem's solved anyway, I got MVP! If you keep talking, I'm going to take a shower!'"

Ruo Yun sneered but didn't press the issue further, instead turning her attention to the Disaster Beasts crawling all around.

And beside the Disaster Beasts, two girls and a boy were cautiously observing them.

The Disaster People of the old world.

Their skin bore partial characteristics of Disaster Beasts—feathers, scales, or a single horn.

By transforming their bodies into half-Disaster Beasts, they could communicate with the creatures.

Not only that, they could also modify Disaster Beasts in turn.

For example, the group of Disaster Beasts currently surrounding Ruo Yun's team.

Each one had cannons mounted on their mouths, backs, and even claws.

Most Disaster Beasts couldn't efficiently utilize their mana, which was why Magical Girls were stronger than Disaster Beasts of the same level—humans naturally optimized their energy usage.

But now, these Disaster Beasts, whose bodies had been modified into weapons, didn't need intelligence or learning to naturally employ efficient destructive power.

Leaving aside the B-class Disaster Beasts, among them were several A-class ones—one with an entire Disaster Beast embedded into a fast-moving chariot base, another capable of instantly transforming and camouflaging as a tree, and one that could gather the mana of surrounding B-class Disaster Beasts onto itself...

The mana cannons fired by these modified A-class beasts could even inflict penetrating wounds on Blooming Magical Girls, making them quite troublesome opponents.

"We're just passing through."

Ruo Yun still attempted to negotiate.

Their mission was only to find that Full Bloom suspect from the old world; this mission didn't require combat at all.

And precisely because of that, they had left the heavy firepower, which was inconvenient to carry, back in the Main God Space.

Now, being trapped by these troublesome Disaster Beasts was one thing—it wasn't like they couldn't fight.

The real problem was that if the commotion was too big and attracted the attention of that elusive Full Bloom individual hiding somewhere, then it would be trouble.

They weren't arrogant enough to think they could handle a Full Bloom.

However, it was clear that the three Disaster People had no intention of letting them go.

"Kill them all!"

The boy clearly had strong killing intent and spoke first.

The other two girls exchanged glances and eventually nodded as well.

"Eliminate all risks."

All the Disaster Beasts opened their mouths toward the three girls.

Even more terrifying mana cannons began to gather, locking onto the three!

"With this number, I might not be able to block them all," Hyacinth warned, then only erected a protective barrier for herself.

Helen, meanwhile, took out a spray gun, spraying some on a nearby Disaster Beast and then on herself.

That Disaster Beast then let Helen sit on its back, evading the targeting of the other beasts.

"Good luck, Captain."

Helen waved cheerfully over her shoulder, about to ride the Disaster Beast and make her escape first.

Ruo Yun rolled her eyes on her side.

But this was pretty much the working style of their Saint Hall team.

After all, they were just teammates—not particularly close friends beyond that. When disaster struck, everyone figured out their own way.

Don't expect others to help.

Those who drag the team down deserve to be eliminated.

Treat all teammates as enemies.

Ruo Yun casually took out a card and, just before the mana cannons fired, inserted it into the pistol's magazine to read it.

[Stellar Mark Descends: The Subversion of Wind Gate and Cloud Path.]

The space around her began to blur and distort like ink wash, and at the same moment, the space around the three Disaster People also started to distort.

Position Swap.

It was a rare spatial magic from the Main God exchange list. Ruo Yun had spent most of her points to exchange for this single card.

Moreover, this card had a usage limit—it would become invalid after more than ten uses. And unlike other magics, Position Swap couldn't be learned by someone like Ruo Yun, who didn't possess spatial abilities.

A pure ten-use consumable, but for Ruo Yun, it was worth it.

And she didn't plan to use it sparingly either, since she had enough points to exchange for the next one. Use it when needed.

Holding onto a skill until death was just foolish.

She swapped positions with the three on the bridge, but all the mana cannons fired by the Disaster Beasts suddenly stopped.

One of the girls extended a finger, and all the Disaster Beasts halted.

Even the mana they were spewing seemed to freeze in place!

Ruo Yun's expression turned grave as she looked at the Disaster People girl with feathers on her body.

A Witch?

With a Disaster Beast's body, transforming into a Magical Girl was impossible, but transforming into a Witch should be a technique only the Witch Association possessed. According to their intelligence, the old world didn't have this technology.

Or had they collaborated with the Witch Association?

If that were the case, the situation was much more troublesome than imagined...

The girl with the single horn and the boy with scales, one took out a gun and the other a knife, slamming them against Hyacinth's barrier.

Hyacinth's barrier shattered instantly. She didn't put up much resistance, just raised her hands in surrender, then tilted her head and looked pitifully at Ruo Yun.

"Help, Captain, I've been captured."

Ruo Yun made a "tsk" sound. "Take this seriously, you idiot!"

"Eh, I'm already being very serious~"

Watching Ruo Yun's annoyed and conflicted expression, Hyacinth giggled sneakily, "Kuku."

[Stellar Mark Descends: The Subversion of Wind Gate and Cloud Path.]

But in the end, Ruo Yun still used the card, swapping Hyacinth down as well.

Hyacinth then crossed her arms, showing a faint look of admiration. "Thank you so much, Captain..."

"Next time, just go die! Wasting my card."

"I can compensate you with my points."

"...That's acceptable."

On the other side, Helen was being chased by Disaster Beasts. Her spray's effect didn't last long, and now she was being pursued by the very Disaster Beast she had controlled earlier.

This time, Ruo Yun ignored that idiot.

"My name is Yu Qi."

Because the three Disaster People above were now gathering the mana of the surrounding Disaster Beasts, their forms underwent some changes.

They became more like Disaster Beasts.

Just one look at their appearance told you they were going to be a pain in the neck.

"Saint Hall team," the feathered girl's voice was pleasant. "I've long heard of your reputation. It's said to be an organization comparable to the Azure Cloud Sect, but it seems not so impressive after all. Why not call over your legendary Saint Hall Envoy to let us have a look?"

"You wouldn't be happy if he really came. Consider yourselves lucky; the Saint Hall Envoy is busy destroying other worlds."

Ruo Yun sneered, swiping three more cards in a row. Twelve [Big Brother Dominator-level Machine Guns] landed on the ground. "Your Disaster People realm isn't qualified to meet him."

"I see. Then it shouldn't matter if we slaughter you all here."

"Wow." Hyacinth on the side said regretfully, "Seems like you said the wrong thing. Now we've entered the forced combat branch. Captain, this is a major strategic mistake."

"The outcome would be the same no matter what was said."

Ruo Yun grabbed a machine gun without a care, aiming at the Disaster Beasts and three Disaster People above. "Prepare for battle! Don't just muddle along here!"

"Actually, if I go all out, it's pretty much the same..."

While Hyacinth was still explaining with difficulty over here, the Disaster People over there revealed more of their Disaster Beast forms.

Just as a major battle was about to erupt, a crisp, explosive sound came from the sky.

The short, urgent explosive sound vanished instantly, plunging into silence.

But no one spoke. Everyone just looked up at the sky, which was beginning to crack.

Then, flames started leaking from the cracks in the sky.

At first, it was just tiny wisps of fire, then a cluster of flames, and then, flames surged like tidal waves, breaking through the cracks.

The sky completely gave way!

A waterfall of flames roared into the world from the shattered sky!

A figure fell from the burning fiery waves, like a meteor, crashing straight into a distant thirty-plus-story building.

Starting from the top floor, the glass on each floor of the building shattered explosively one after another. The impact pierced through the entire building until it hit the ground, shaking the entire foundation!

The whole building swayed precariously. Crackling electrical sparks, along with flying wires and glass, caused secondary explosions inside the damaged building. The flying debris from the upper half even reached this area.

Whether it was Ruo Yun and Hyacinth or the three Disaster People, everyone momentarily forgot about continuing the fight and instead focused on blocking the flying debris and the surging flames.

When they looked again, they saw the swaying building being stained black, slowly lifting into the air.

Below, the figure that should have been smashed into the building's foundation was actually lifting the entire building!

Half of his body was mangled, and blackness covered his entire form, making him look like a Disaster Beast.

Then, with a fierce swing, he hurled the thirty-plus-story building straight into the sky!

The massive building shot like a cannonball into the breach in the sky, then, as if thrown into a volcano's mouth,

a huge amount of flames erupted from the gap!

The pillar of destruction from the sky continued toward the figure standing on the empty foundation of the building ruins, but then the figure suddenly spread its wings.

"Disaster People?"

Ruo Yun asked softly.

But the three Disaster People all shook their heads.

How could a Disaster Person have such strength...

A red spear shot out again from the broken sky!

Hanging from the spear was the winged boy who had just flown up. In just that short time, his wings were almost torn apart. Covered in blood, the boy flew along with the mana spear for a while before leaping into the air,

detaching from the spear and jumping toward a nearby building that had been half-destroyed by the explosion. He grabbed a protruding, broken steel bar with one hand.

His whole body swayed gently hundreds of meters in the air, like those daredevil urban climbers, ready to fall at any moment.

The three Disaster People were all filled with disbelief.

Judging by appearance, he looked very much like a Disaster Person, but that terrifying power... it really didn't seem like something a Disaster Person could control.

Most importantly, such a powerful monster seemed to be constantly suppressed...

Soon, someone slowly walked out from the shattered sky.

The mechanical and indifferent pupils of the light purple-haired girl scanned the entire world, finally locking onto the boy swaying as he held the steel bar.

"Saint Hall Envoy, the Heavenly Being?"

Ruo Yun looked at the light purple-haired Magical Girl, stunned, and subconsciously asked.

But quickly, Hyacinth beside her denied it.

"No, that's not right."

Hyacinth stared intently at the light purple-haired girl. "The color is too light. Although she looks similar, her aura is wrong. Most importantly, she's much taller."

"Maybe she grew taller..."

"How could a Magical Girl grow taller?"

Hyacinth was somewhat speechless. "And if you look carefully, her power is different too."

It wasn't purple mana. When she moved, it was red mana.

"The Saint Hall Envoy can disguise himself..."

After being refuted by Ruo Yun, Hyacinth was slightly taken aback.

That was true. If it were him, he could easily manage such a change...

While they were pondering, the light purple-haired girl had already taken a step and arrived in front of the boy swaying on the steel bar.

Jiang Si looked at the indifferent face, finally feeling a spark of interest ignite in his heart.

It wasn't simply copying his abilities.

She had speed faster than his physical body, strength more formidable than his, and most importantly, the tactics she displayed during the fight—

she was always on guard against his transformation.

To actually achieve this level...

As he kicked toward her, the light purple-haired girl simply grabbed his ankle.

The massive impact created a sonic boom in the air, but the girl remained unmoved.

Letting go of the steel bar with his right hand, before she could throw him, Jiang Si pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly swiped across the light purple-haired girl's face.

Swordless.

His body shot out like a cannonball again, with flames exploding on Jiang Si.

But the light purple-haired girl's face also shifted slightly.

From her chin to the back of her head, it looked as if something sharp had sliced through it. Half her face was misaligned, about to slide off her head.

Yet the light purple-haired girl just reached up and adjusted it.

The half-face that was about to slide off quickly reattached itself...

Boom!

Jiang Si, whose dragon body was almost completely blown apart, finally crashed into the central main road.

The massive crater caused the surrounding buildings to tilt. Many vehicles slid into the pit. Broken water pipes sprayed water, and car alarms blared urgently.

The intense shaking made Ruo Yun, Hyacinth, and even the three Disaster People on the bridge sway, almost losing their balance.

The light purple-haired girl above didn't approach. Instead, she condensed a massive fireball, like the sun!

Aiming at the boy who had fallen here, but at the same time, encompassing everyone and every Disaster Beast in the vicinity!

The five people no longer had any thoughts of fighting and immediately shouted, "Run!"

But before they could move, the Disaster Beasts at the front that tried to escape first suddenly twisted.

Their bodies split into two halves and fell.

"No running."

Everyone's movements froze.

Then they turned to look.

The boy who had been smashed into the deep pit on the main road was now sitting on the edge of the crater, one knee on the ground, his left foot swinging leisurely over the edge.

Noticing the five people's gazes, the boy turned his head to look back at them.

Half his face was completely blown apart. The remaining half was covered in dragon scales, with dragon horns and crimson dragon pupils extremely conspicuous.

It was almost impossible to tell what his original appearance had been.

But that oppressive aura, that sense of being on the brink of death, made everyone dare not make a move.

"Whoever runs, I kill."

Two more Disaster Beasts were cut down.

They couldn't see the attack at all, didn't know what happened. They only knew that if they moved, the Disaster Beasts would instantly be torn to pieces.

And above, the massive mana cannon condensed by the light purple-haired girl, almost like the sun, pressed down on everyone's heads.

It came crashing down!

The boy leaned back on his hands, looking at the descending giant sun, and said casually, "Wait a little longer."

The energy cannon's descent wasn't slow. The pressure of its heat and energy impact was almost pressing against their scalps!

"Wait a little longer."

But without the boy's permission, no one dared to move.

Ruo Yun gripped Hyacinth tightly beside her. Both their bodies trembled slightly.

The pressure from the mana cannon was already making it difficult to even stand.

Beside them, the other three Disaster People were now starting to burn with flames!

"Wait a little longer."

One Disaster Beast finally couldn't hold back and tried to run. The moment it moved, it was instantly sliced into pieces by something!

But if they didn't run, the energy cannon was already above their heads. They could almost feel the burning pain on their scalps!

The Disaster Beast disguised as a tree even caught fire, letting out a mournful cry!

Just when they felt their heads would melt in the next moment under the mana cannon,

the boy finally clapped his hands.

"Go."

Boom!

Ruo Yun pulled Hyacinth and moved positions first, but they were still caught in the blast of the mana cannon. The two of them hugged each other like a ball and were blown rolling far away.

Only when they crashed into a streetlamp did they barely stop.

Faintly, Ruo Yun seemed to hear the boy's hoarse laughter from over there:

"So even this can't be captured..."

On the other side, the three Disaster People let out even more mournful cries.

The girl with the single horn, because she didn't run fast enough, had half her body almost blown to pieces by the mana cannon. She was barely alive. The boy with fish scales had half a leg severed, dragging his remaining leg while holding the horned girl, wailing.

Only the feathered girl was fast enough and didn't suffer much injury, but she was also almost blown into a dazed state.

The feeling of having your life and death casually controlled by someone wasn't pleasant.

Ruo Yun gritted her teeth, pulled Hyacinth up, and looked toward where the mana cannon had exploded.

A massive red mushroom cloud surged upward repeatedly. The surrounding buildings were annihilated and disappeared within the mana cannon's blast.

The buildings seemed to vaporize and evaporate. The shockwave that should have blasted the five people away again, causing secondary damage,

was instead suppressed by something, contained, unable to release.

"...When demonic blood stains the azure sky."

Faintly, it seemed someone recited a phrase.

Then, golden mana pierced through the crimson flames.

Shining with golden light, the Calamity Dragon gradually took form, opening its massive maw within the shadows and smoke.

"Roar!"

A tsunami of golden radiance instantly engulfed the light purple-haired Magical Girl above and the fractured sky!

God-Inscribed Throne·Golden Calamity Dragon King!

Yet within that searing golden beam, the light purple figure remained unscathed. Instead, she seemed to be bathing in the searing golden beam, her form swaying as she stepped toward the Calamity Dragon King!

[Warning! High concentration of Emperor contamination detected!]

[High-risk contamination warning! High-risk contamination warning!]

[Requesting highest-level contamination cleanup. Request approved.]

[Initiating anti-contamination cleanup.]

In an instant, the golden color covering his body dimmed completely. A red spear appeared in the light purple-haired Magical Girl's hand, then pierced through the Calamity Dragon's head!

The Calamity Dragon felt no pain. It bit down on the purple-haired Magical Girl's shoulder, almost tearing half her body off!

But Alice just indifferently took out an even larger red mana spear and, enduring the Calamity Dragon's attack, struck it down to the ground with a single blow!

The Calamity Dragon, its gold dimmed, raised its head, but its pupils slightly contracted.

In the Magical Girl's hands, spears densely packed like a forest were all thrust into its skull!

[Cleanup complete. Confirmed target contamination concentration: 0.0%.]

[Correction: Target contamination concentration: 0.001%.]

[Correction: Target contamination concentration: 0.1%.]

[Correction: Target contamination concentration: 10%...]

Just as the light purple-haired Alice showed a slightly puzzled expression, looking at the Calamity Dragon before her,

a black crown appeared atop the Calamity Dragon's head, suddenly emitting a golden radiance!

The golden light recolored the Calamity Dragon, transforming it into a golden dragon body, breaking through the Mirror Kingdom's sealing authority!

The dragon tail swung fiercely, piercing through the light purple-haired Alice, pinning her firmly to a tall building!

A faint female voice came from within the Golden Calamity Dragon King, as if pronouncing judgment or issuing a warning:

"The Emperor's curse never disappears."

The Golden Calamity Dragon King's crimson pupils held no emotion. It drew closer, opened its maw, and more mana and curses, this time gathered into an even more terrifying breath.

As the breath swept across the tall buildings, the streets, piercing through heaven and earth, almost splitting the entire world,

Alice's shattered figure, like trash, fell from the tall building—

fluttering down.
