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

"Lord Simo Tu."

Quan Zhongshui, who had already retreated into the spatial turbulence, had a face full of helplessness.

"The entrance has been lost."

After returning to assign a task to White Fox and resting at home for a few days, Jiang Si listened to the other party's report with little interest.

Keke was nowhere to be found; he had slept at home for three days and two nights without seeing a trace of her.

That's right, after accepting the task, Jiang Si first went home and slept for three days to relax.

Later, when he asked Bingtang, he learned that she had gone to the Mirror Kingdom with the Disaster Control Bureau and the true-transmission disciples. School was about to start, and she was still recklessly joining the excitement.

She even changed her chat software ID to 【Buried Love·Dark Ruri·Ten Pitch Black Keke Ten】, which reminded him of his past life, where the haters who argued with him online had names just like that.

Utterly ridiculous!

Feeling slightly displeased in his heart, he then looked up and glanced outside at South China.

To copy... to respectfully replicate "Squatting in the Ancient Sage's Demonic Sects as a Talent," using the 【Ancestors' Gold-Seeking Method】 to attain the Heavenly Fire.

First, one must pay homage... accumulate corresponding imagery, establish dominance over the world, and have all four directions submit.

Therefore, the four selected Full Bloom personnel needed to make preparations in the four directions: East China, South China, North China, and West China.

Quan Zhongshui was unfortunately assigned to South China.

All actions by the Mirror Kingdom provoked extremely intense reactions in South China. While the Mirror Kingdom was widely publicizing the grand wedding, South China also immediately responded defensively, gathering all its Magical Girls to stand ready.

It was unknown who leaked the information, but before Quan Zhongshui even entered South China, these hissing Magical Girls had already arrived on the scene, standing guard.

A grand gathering of hisses plus a righteous group beating fueled by love prevented Quan Zhongshui from setting foot in South China for even half a step, driving her back into the spatial turbulence.

Not only that, this group of Magical Girls followed Quan Zhongshui's direction, pursuing her into the spatial turbulence.

This forced Quan Zhongshui to not dare return to the Mirror Kingdom, wandering instead within the spatial turbulence, fearing she might lead these harbingers of disaster back to the Mirror Kingdom and lose her chance at Full Bloom.

For her, after being displaced and wandering for so many years, this hard-won opportunity could not tolerate the slightest error.

However, seeing that she was being pushed into a corner with no way out, she had no choice but to seek help from the Mirror Kingdom.

Jiang Si looked ahead at the dense crowd of Magical Girls.

In reality, they hadn't pursued very deeply; they were still operating at the edges of the spatial turbulence, able to withdraw at any moment, being very cautious.

Below the spatial turbulence, one could faintly see the fully armed civilians of South China.

Most were young adults, positioned far away, but many were sitting in cat-shaped vehicles, quietly awaiting the Magical Girls' results.

The entire populace was armed.

This was South China's tradition: when Magical Girls fought on the front lines, the civilians would inevitably provide support below.

Once a Magical Girl lost her transformation ability and fell, these people would desperately bring the Magical Girls back.

This was a habit and tradition South China developed through repeated struggles with the old world: never letting Magical Girls fight alone.

Especially since the target this time was the Mirror Kingdom.

In South China, the Mirror Kingdom was an object of even greater hostility than the Witch Association or Disaster Beasts, a feud to the death.

The solemn, murderous aura born from that sea of blood and hatred made even Jiang Si unable to help but admire it: what a formidable combat region.

When Jiang Si approached, one of the Magical Girls noticed him first. Seeing Quan Zhongshui accompanying him, she charged over without hesitation, mana coiling around her body. A single strike even tore a fissure in the spatial turbulence!

She was likely a Magical Girl who had successfully undergone the universal ascension last time.

Jiang Si caught this kick with one hand. The force rippled through his palm, and he just shook his head.

"Not good enough."

The Magical Girl's expression showed slight surprise. The captured right foot suddenly shot out sharp spikes, piercing through Jiang Si's palm. Then, using the captured right foot as a pivot, she lifted her leg again, delivering another high whip kick aimed at Jiang Si's head.

However, the young man just gave a slight tug. The Magical Girl's posture immediately became unbalanced, completely unable to maintain her stance.

With mana support, she shouldn't have been so easily pulled off balance in theory...

"Go back and train some more."

With that, Jiang Si swung the Magical Girl in a wide arc, performing a Hallelujah Great Whirlwind and hurling her away.

The Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique's Slipping Hand!

Causing the spikes on his hand to simultaneously shatter!

By the time Blackberry noticed, her friend shot past her like a meteor, immediately crashing into two or three Magical Girls behind her, finally shooting out of the spatial turbulence and embedding herself into the mountainous region below the South China border.

"Hedgehog Dog!"

The South China Magical Girls all exclaimed in shock.

"Focus on resonance!" However, as the captain, Blackberry quickly rallied the scattered morale and immediately gathered all their power. "Mental Landscape Expansion!"

In reality, this was not Blackberry's own Mental Landscape.

Rather, it used a specific Magical Girl's Mental Landscape as the core, integrating the Personal Realities of all South China's Magical Girls to create a Resonant Mental Landscape.

Compared to an individual's Mental Landscape, the Resonant Mental Landscape's abilities were more diverse, and its area of expansion was also much larger!

Especially after Blackberry had experienced the baptism of the "Heavenly Tribulation," her current control over mana, and even her understanding of magic, had reached a higher level.

The enormous Mental Landscape not only enveloped the enemy but was also continuously expanding outward, threatening to cover the entire sky of South China!

Bai Mei, who was sitting by a roadside stall, holding a small cup of pineapple beer, had just stuck out her tongue for a lick, immediately retracted her head, and furrowed her brows, also looked up.

The sword cultivator, who originally wanted to try being a Drunken Sword Immortal but couldn't even drink pineapple beer, now looked at the sky with some appreciation.

Pinching her nose, she downed the pineapple beer in one go, then, feeling tipsy, applauded.

"Floating clouds, obscuring the moon, yet not blinding the eyes! A fine Mental Landscape! A fine celestial phenomenon!"

The people around were also looking at the sky, so no one noticed her silly state.

Gently shaking her little head, Bai Mei opened one eye, reached out, and grasped her sword.

Sword energy, vast and mighty, shot straight into the sky!

"After getting drunk, after getting drunk, I know not whether the sky is in the water."

Drinking, reciting poetry.

"A boat full of clear dreams, pressing down the Milky Way."

One sword, splitting the heavens!

However, it was ultimately just a casual sword strike, not very powerful. When it landed on the Mental Landscape, it only carved a crack that quickly healed.

Bai Mei staggered and climbed onto the table, then jumped onto the nearby rooftop.

The stall owner nearby immediately shouted, "Get down! Don't fall, little girl!"

However, Bai Mei just half-lay on the rooftop, her sword following her heart's intent, preparing to unleash a true sword strike.

A familiar aura began to spread from the sky.

Bai Mei, who had been drunk, closed her eyes, shivering as if frozen.

She obediently sat up straight.

"Master, I didn't drink..."

Although her master had told her about the Drunken Sword Immortal, she always emphasized that minors couldn't drink alcohol.

Now, she had gotten tipsy from just a little pineapple beer, but sensing her master's aura, she sobered up instantly.

Not daring to move a muscle.

Fortunately, her master didn't pay her any attention.

Then, in her daze, Bai Mei seemed to see dragon scales.

Black and shiny, faintly tinged with a hint of purple.

In Blackberry's eyes, it was a dragon tail.

For a moment, she remembered the Golden Calamity Dragon King that had appeared in South China before.

The dragon tail looked somewhat similar, but this one was a bit more mini.

Afterward, when mana surged up, the dragon scales on that tail gradually revealed a golden color, making it appear even more similar.

Within the controlled Mental Landscape, various magics exploded on the personnel from the Mirror Kingdom. The continuous explosions gradually pressed them into the largest hellgate beneath the Mental Landscape.

Boundless power, and destructive force no less than that of the Heavenly Tribulation back then, were Blackberry's confidence for attacking the Mirror Kingdom so far!

In one breath, completely erase the Mirror Kingdom, take revenge, and also exchange for true peace and stability for South China's future, so that everyone would no longer have to live on tenterhooks!

Within the hellgate, countless hands grabbed at the suppressed enemy, about to drag them completely inside!

But Blackberry suddenly realized that what those countless hellish hands were grabbing was actually a small, exquisite section of a fair ankle.

Encircled by a ring of tiny dragon teeth like little bells.

A girl?

When Blackberry realized this, she saw the tip of that tail gently lift.

The flowing, scalding gold color on the golden-yellow tail possessed a natural nobility and majesty.

But following the tail downward, as the bombarding magics began to stagnate and the smoke gradually thinned.

One could see the tail's owner.

A girl with golden vertical pupils and a black and gold long dress.

Blackberry stared blankly at that blurry girl's figure.

Impossible, it was clearly a young man just now...

More shock and confusion had no time to arise, because that lifted golden tail gently flicked downward.

Mana began to uncontrollably disperse, escape, run wild.

The scene instantly seemed like a churning sea, distorted, a wave of dizziness rushing to the top of her head.

Blackberry felt immense nausea. In the blink of an eye, the scene returned to normal.

Only, more than half of the Magical Girls resonating behind her fainted the moment the tail flicked down.

The Mental Landscape also began to shatter.

A dazzling golden radiance bloomed above the Mental Landscape, like a seam, madly climbing and spreading from above the dragon tail all the way to the end.

In Blackberry's eyes and ears, it was as if everything had paused.

The erupting golden light split the Mental Landscape open. Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the entire Mental Landscape, then the Resonant Mental Landscape shattered like glass.

Amidst the cascading shards, she watched that golden light, its momentum undiminished, shoot straight up into the clouds!

The dome of the sky was as fragile as silk.

The South China sky, with its churning dark clouds, was, like the Resonant Mental Landscape, also split open by the golden light from that gently flicked tail.

Leaving behind a line in the sky as imposing as a natural chasm.

Countless gazes lifted, looking at that bottomless sky, like an inverted abyss or a collapsing, suspended waterfall, pressing down until all sound vanished utterly!

Within the fissure, there was only that resplendent and majestic golden light, as if what lay hidden behind the clouds was no longer the sky!

As Blackberry and her friends flew out of the spatial turbulence, falling toward the ground, she struggled to look at the other party.

That was indeed an extremely stunning girl.

Round, black, adorable dragon horns, exquisitely carved facial features, more delicate than the most precious doll.

Porcelain-doll-like flawless smoothness, and that tiny, transparent dragon scale beneath the corner of her eye.

Caused Blackberry's heartbeat to skip a beat, even making her forget what she wanted to confirm.

Only then did she realize one thing.

He was a man.

During the fall, she originally wanted to angrily rebuke the other.

But that Calamity Dragon girl gave her a gentle smile, lips slightly parting, as if saying a word.

"Sage..."

Sage?

"...Fa......"

Fa?

Wait, that was, what, ah.

Blackberry became confused, forgetting what she wanted to say.

By the time the sound faded from her ears, the girl's dragon tail gave another gentle sway.

Transforming back into the pitch-black young man from before.

As if that dreamlike girl had merely been an illusion.

The South China Magical Girls fell like raindrops into the mountainous area, but soon South China staff quickly swarmed in, while remaining vigilant of the enemy in the spatial turbulence above.

Jiang Si did not pursue. He just watched as the Magical Girls were transported away, then reached out and pulled.

Closing the opened spatial turbulence.

Then he turned his head to look at Quan Zhongshui. "South China really isn't suitable for you. Go to East China first and find White Fox. She's currently in Beihai and hasn't decided where to go yet."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Simo Tu!"

Naturally, Quan Zhongshui couldn't see what happened inside the Mental Landscape. She only saw that once Simo Tu entered, he smashed that terrifying Resonant Mental Landscape of the South China Magical Girls!

Terrifyingly powerful! As expected of the man the Mirror Queen has her eyes on!

Truly a perfect match, a needle meeting a pinhead...

Her mind filled with random thoughts, she immediately ran toward East China.

Jiang Si let her leave, just scanning the surroundings before turning his gaze toward the void.

"Stop hiding. It was you, wasn't it?"

"As expected, I can't hide it from you."

Jialan walked out of the void with a giggle, but as soon as she appeared, she raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Quan Zhongshui, while not particularly capable, shouldn't have really let South China pursue her here, let alone help them open the spatial turbulence."

Jiang Si looked at Jialan expressionlessly. "What do you want to do?"

"That should be my question, Mr. Simo Tu, or should I say, Mr. Jiang Si. What do you mean by capturing Sonora? Or do you intend to defect from the Witch Association and join the Mirror Kingdom? Ah, is the honey trap really that effective? If it really doesn't work, our Witch Association can also throw ourselves at you. What do you think of me?"

"I have my own pace."

Jiang Si said slowly. "If you come to interfere, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Of course, of course. Sonora interfering with you on her own initiative deserves death." Jialan also restrained her smile. "But I'd like to remind you, great Lord Simo Tu, Sonora is actually quite important, even important to you. One can only go to Chongxu if someone leads the way, and Sonora is that guide. Of course, I know you don't need it, but having her would be more convenient. I ask you to consider this clearly."

"She interfered with my plan and deserves this punishment." Jiang Si didn't care in the slightest, just adding, "I'll make preparations later."

"Mhm, mhm."

Jialan took another look in the direction of the Mirror Kingdom. "The Mirror Kingdom's technology is quite troublesome. If they really develop the power of Full Bloom, South China will suffer first. That's why I helped the South China Magical Girls. Otherwise, we'd have to ask your ex-girlfriend to handle it. And besides, they must have devised many methods targeting your ex-girlfriend. By then, even your ex-girlfriend might suffer a bit."

Jiang Si just sneered.

"Ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend, ah no, it should be current wife starting a fight. One is the queen of the old world, one is the queen of the new world, the strongest versus the strongest. Honestly, I'm starting to look forward to it. Who will you help then? Still have lingering feelings for Shion, or do you prefer the new love..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Si kicked her to the side.

Jialan wasn't angry either. She just floated out from the storm of spatial turbulence, waving at Jiang Si. "Anyway, the Mirror Kingdom's technology for going beyond the world, just take a look. If you really want to go beyond the world, the Witch Association is your best choice."

"After all, we are right in 【Hyperspace】. Chongxu will be waiting for you."

Jiang Si didn't look at her either, just started walking back.

...

When he returned, the entrance to the Mirror Kingdom was a huge circular floral arch. A starry sky curtain made of light strings and tulle looked romantic and holy.

Everywhere were drapes and floral arrangements. On some tall buildings, hung cascading large floral waterfalls.

On the ground was a white floral carpet, laid from the four entrances all the way to the Imperial Palace, magnificent and tidy.

Gauze banners, velvet cloth, chair back drapes, lights, balloons, even those dry ice machines.

Walking along, most things were white.

From afar, it looked almost like a funeral.

Jiang Si didn't see Keke in the outer area, but he did see Yueji.

There were also some people from the Witch Association and the Disaster Control Bureau.

As he walked into the palace, there were more familiar faces.

But as soon as he stepped through the main gate, he was pulled aside by Alice.

"The Prince has been waiting for you for so long, Lord Jiang Si! Where have you been these past few days? You didn't even have your system on!"

"Went home to rest and organize some things."

Jiang Si didn't mind, just touched his bracelet, turning the system back on.

Following Alice, he was led to a back room.

This place had been arranged as a bridal dressing room.

When he pushed the door open, he saw the Prince sitting alone in front of a mirror, holding a lipstick, gently applying it to her lips over and over.

Wearing a black long skirt, resembling both a wedding dress and mourning attire.

"You've finally returned, Jiang Si."

"Mhm." Jiang Si leaned against the wall nearby, somewhat bored, waiting for the other to finish applying makeup.

But then, putting down the lipstick and picking up an eyebrow pencil, the Prince came over and placed the pencil in Jiang Si's hand.

Her gorgeous lips curved up, but her blood-red pupils held little emotion:

"Want to try the eyebrow-drawing ritual? Jiang Si, or should I say, Miss Shion?"
