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

Iris was pinned to the ground, and Yiyi could no longer transform.

Actually, the only person who could stand in front now was Keke.

Keke wasn't afraid.

Teacher Shion would never kill indiscriminately - everyone she killed deserved it.

Although she hadn't read the Disaster Control Bureau's detailed reports, she was absolutely certain about this.

Because if Teacher Shion were truly someone who killed innocent people, she herself wouldn't have survived until now.

Yiyi would definitely have died too.

Whether it was that Dujuan or the later Yinluo, although Keke herself felt sad about Yinluo's death.

But after all, she was from the Witch Association, so Teacher Shion killing her was completely justified, even if emotionally it was somewhat difficult to accept.

The fault didn't lie with Teacher Shion, but with the Witch Association and the fallen Yinluo, who had hurt Yiyi.

So Keke wasn't afraid at all.

"I know that every time Teacher Shion kills someone, there must be a deep reason behind it."

Generally, the reason was just convenience.

"But when dealing with Witch Association members, we don't need, every time, every single time, to have Teacher Shion handle it."

It wasn't exactly every time either - the disciples within the Azure Cloud Sect handled many cases too.

"So, so please Teacher Shion, could you hand Twins over to the Disaster Control Bureau for handling?"

That would be perfect.

The only problem was whether simply nodding and saying "okay" right now would seem too suspicious.

Keke's reasoning here was quite logical, and being convinced by it seemed very reasonable... probably.

She thought about what methods the various seniors would generally use to resolve such situations.

For a moment, she really couldn't remember any web novel protagonists who would be willing to spare an antagonist's life.

After all, if a protagonist casually spared an antagonist's life, the upper narrative observer would definitely come down hard on them.

But there were quite many cases where enemies were willing to spare the protagonist's life.

With just a little thought, she could find many examples.

So, Shion slowly extended one finger.

She originally intended to wait for the other side to understand on their own, or to ask.

But after waiting for a long while, both Yiyi and Keke looked tense and showed no intention of asking.

If you're nervous, then ask already...

Feeling somewhat speechless, she had no choice but to slowly speak up and explain herself:

"One move."

"Take one move from me, and I'll spare her life."

Only then did the two girls understand what her extended finger meant, and they both breathed sighs of relief.

Generally, this was said when the enemy was in a situation where they couldn't directly kill the protagonist.

Actually, killing the opponent with one move was fine - those who dared say such things were mostly very confident.

Of course, when most antagonists said such things, they would inevitably fail to kill the protagonist for various reasons.

Then when they became furious and wanted to break the agreement, they would be stopped by the powerful figures backing the protagonist.

Although Shion had no interest in playing the antagonist, in the current situation this seemed to be the most appropriate thing to say.

This way, after executing one move she could leave directly, and no one would suspect that Twins had any connection with the Azure Cloud Sect.

Upon hearing this, Keke immediately placed her magic wand in front of her with both hands and said proudly, "I also want Teacher Shion to see my growth!"

Li Yi looked at Shion's cold expression and suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

If back then, she had appeared in time and stood in front of her sister.

Would it have been possible...

The originally upright index finger slowly curved, as she slightly turned her body, casually and simply pointing at the three of them.

"Wait a moment!"

Keke suddenly shouted, waving her magic wand somewhat flustered, "Could Teacher Shion wait for me a moment? I need to prepare first."

Yiyi looked speechlessly at her junior team member. Do you know who you're facing? That's the cold-blooded, merciless...

Unexpectedly, Shion actually stopped, merely urging, "Hurry up."

Wide-eyed, Li Yi looked from afar at Shion who had really stopped her hand and was waiting for Keke to prepare.

Was she really this accommodating?

Meanwhile, Keke had already started continuously using various techniques, dazzling Li Yi.

"Mediocre Work, First: Remolding of the Scorched Remains."

"Crimson Acceleration."

"Magic Solidification."

"Breath of Wind Flow."

"Crimson Heavenly Eye."

Li Yi immediately recognized them - the first was something Senior Hyacinth had taught them, the second was something Keke had asked her about how to make magical defense more powerful, the third was Dandelion's technique for controlling magic flow.

The fourth was Peony's clairvoyance? When did she consult Peony?

One skill contained four enhancement methods.

When had Keke become this strong?

"I'm ready, Teacher Shion!"

Li Yi immediately held her breath.

Across from them, at the rounded fingertip of that purple girl pointing at them, a mass of purple magic began to gather and grow larger.

There were no property or form changes, just pure magic condensation, and then, explosion!

It carved a terrifying trench in the ground, not particularly fast but with overwhelming pressure, rushing toward the three of them!

"Mediocre Work, Second!"

The crimson magic in front of Keke unfolded layer by layer, like blooming flowers, each petal making the barrier thicker.

"Crimson Lotus Severing Ring!"

Faster, stronger, the magic flow became more refined!

Keke even found time to look back: "Don't worry, Yiyi, I'll protect you!"

Li Yi was somewhat dazed.

Panting heavily, even though she was almost unable to hold on, she still turned her head with a smile to comfort the people behind her.

"Don't worry, sister, I'll protect you."

The figure from the past overlapped with Keke.

When she turned her head, what she could see wasn't just her sister's gaze.

Those frightened, expectant, admiring, anxious gazes.

All those many strangers she protected were behind her...

Boom!

The pure, unadorned terrifying purple magic crashed against the unfolded fiery red petals.

In just an instant, one petal shattered immediately.

Keke bit her lip, pouring all her magic into it!

Thus, the next petal finally lasted two seconds.

The huge impact force pushed her backward, Keke desperately pushed forward, but still half her foot sank into the ground.

This is, the teacher's power...

It's really, so distant.

Looking up, Teacher Shion's expression looked like she wasn't even exerting effort, the index finger pointing this way wasn't even fully extended, the movement more like casually pointing at something.

Yet just this, the most ordinary magic impact, made her feel like a mountain was pressing down.

Li Yi watched Keke's trembling back, biting her lip hard.

She took out her miracle seed, the pitch-black, already dead seed.

Countless calls, but only silence and despair responded.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The petals shattered one after another, but, it started to slow down.

Partly because Keke's subsequent petals had thicker magic, and partly...

She looked up, gazing at the expressionless Teacher Shion from afar.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she seemed to see a hint of appreciation in Teacher Shion's eyes.

"Well done."

Those rosy lips moved slightly, and Keke instinctively thought in that direction.

But upon later consideration, the lip movement might not have matched.

Still, she decided to take it as Teacher Shion's praise.

After all, this was Teacher Shion's defense technique that she had imitated after just one glance...

It's really, pretty good, right?

Crack!

When the last petal withered, Keke finally couldn't hold on and was about to be sent flying.

However, someone suddenly supported her shoulder from behind.

"Well done, rookie! The Magical Girls of Beihai are much more capable than I imagined."

Magical Girl Iris created a black gravity barrier in front with a backhand motion.

"Never thought you could buy me enough time to transform! Leave the rest to me!"

Keke somewhat admired how the other could be so confidently flamboyant after losing so badly - if she were in her place, she might have cried.

"Is your body okay, Senior Iris?"

"No problem! Who do you think I am?"

The cyan magical girl smiled brilliantly: "I am the Disaster Control Bureau's strongest magical girl, Iris!"

You've added prefixes, Senior...

Keke thought this, watching as the purple magic was distorted and swallowed by the black gravity barrier, momentarily breathing a slight sigh of relief.

Even if it's Teacher Shion, such a casual attack shouldn't be able to break through a Blooming-level magical girl's defense... right?

The next second, the gravity barrier shattered without warning.

Transcending levels, crushing rules, pure magic destroyed everything!

Two magical girls crashed behind Li Yi, simultaneously canceling their transformations.

Li Yi faced the purple light directly.

It felt like returning to that day again.

Returning to the day she first transformed.

The Disaster Beast appeared, everyone was fleeing backward, people kept falling, her sister also fell to the ground, just urging her to run quickly.

But Li Yi alone charged forward, standing in front of the Disaster Beast.

Now the person behind her wasn't her sister anymore, but a Witch Association member who was partly responsible for her sister's death.

She had no reason to take risks and stand in front.

As long as she didn't stand in front of Twins, Shion wouldn't kill.

Shion only killed those who deserved to die.

Twins was like this, her sister, was also like this...

Pain twisted her heart, Li Yi tightly gripped her miracle seed that would never respond to her again.

Just like her sister whom she could never see again.

She didn't want to regret anymore.

She didn't want to see anyone die before her eyes again.

"So, I still."

Unconsciously, tears slid down her cheeks.

The purple light obscured her vision.

So much so that she couldn't see the seed in her hand being washed by tears, dripping with black filth.

She just choked up and spoke her wish:

"I want, to become a magical girl."

The seed in her hand burst forth with brilliant pink light again!

Countless dancing petals instantly rose around her!

Blocking the unstoppable purple light.

Amid the petals, Li Yi slightly opened her mouth, looking through tear-blurred eyes at the seed in her hand.

Although she could no longer transform, the miracle seed had still responded to her with its final power!

"Thank you, thank you for being willing to respond to me, let's protect everyone together one last time!"

The responding miracle expanded within the girl's wish, as if possessing infinite power to block the purple magic ahead!

However, after just a moment, the dancing petals around her suddenly caught fire!

In the blink of an eye, all the petals turned to ashes!

Li Yi was stunned, tear tracks still fresh on her face, the miracle she had just held in her hand extinguished by absolute power.

Before she could react, she was blasted away by the magic!

Fortunately, Keke was quick-eyed and swift-handed, quickly catching her, both of them falling backward quite far.

Thus, only Twins remained, quietly holding the blue pendant.

The purple magic roared, about to devour and tear her to pieces, when it suddenly calmed.

As if it had just coincidentally exhausted itself right in front of her, leaving only the stirred-up fierce wind that blew through her loose black hair, gently wiping her wounds, finally slowly returning to calm.

"Sect Master..."

She looked up, murmuring somewhat dreamily, finally adding, "...sama."

However, there was no one in front anymore.

On the empty suburban wasteland, there was only a huge trench full of pits and holes, like trees burned halfway, broken power poles, a supermarket, with faint blue smoke continuously rising.

A void of emptiness.

"Ha, haha, hahaha!"

Gasping for breath in large mouthfuls, Twins revealed a smile of someone who had survived a disaster - as long as Shion wasn't around, she could laugh anytime!

Twins used both hands and feet, wanting to support herself on the broken tree trunk beside her to stand up.

The Sect Master had already left, three magical girls severely injured - this was the best opportunity to leave.

A handgun pressed against the back of her head.

"I, I never said you could leave."

Glancing sideways, she saw Li Yi whose face was somewhat bruised from the fall, covered in mud all over, though panting heavily, now looking at her with a serious expression, "Scum of the Witch Association, where do you think you're going?"

Twins somewhat helplessly raised both hands.

"Just now you tried so hard to save me, you moved me deeply, but then you turn around and become so cold. Twins is really sad. I thought after I told you about your sister last time, we became good friends."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Why are you carrying a handgun? Children shouldn't play with guns, it's dangerous."

"You can keep talking nonsense, I don't mind putting a hole in your other leg."

"Then spare me, please..."

Keke also came over half-carrying the unconscious Iris, "When facing Teacher Shion just now you didn't say a word, I thought you were mute."

Twins chuckled, "Would you dare mess around in class right under the homeroom teacher's watchful eyes?"

"Makes sense." Then Keke asked again, "Has Teacher Shion taught you too?"

"Hmm, should I say taught, or simply beaten..."

Over there, Li Yi had already taken handcuffs from Iris's pocket and cuffed Twins.

These were specially made by the Disaster Control Bureau for the Witch Association, handcuffs that could suppress the operation of polluted magic.

"Hey, could you let me transform first to grow my leg back? Venus only had broken arms, no one said anything about losing legs. It's really inconvenient."

"Behave yourself. Having one leg broken is just right."

"You were actually quite cute when you were depressed before, why are you suddenly so harsh with me? Could you go back to... ouch."

"Because now I am Magical Girl Silver Lotus." Li Yi kicked Twins once before saying quietly, "Captain of the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau Magical Girl Combat Team."

Keke listened nearby, unconsciously breathing a sigh of relief, also showing a smile.

No matter what, it was really great that Li Yi could pull herself together.

Perhaps this was also within Teacher Shion's plan...

"Yiyi, has your seed recovered?"

Li Yi sent a message to the Disaster Control Bureau personnel while checking her miracle seed, "The pollution has disappeared, so you could say it's recovered. But there's no magic left anymore, just like Senior Susan - I can never transform again."

She remembered Susan again.

It was the same back then - when Susan's seed was polluted, she had also erupted with power once to save someone,

clearing away the pollution completely.

At that time, Susan thought she could transform again.

She researched excitedly for a long time.

But in the end, she still failed. Even without pollution, the miracle seed was already empty.

Polluted magic not only contaminates a magical girl's power and emotions, but also severs the connection between the miracle seed and the incubator.

In principle, having lost the magic source, transformation is fundamentally impossible.

The final outburst also consumed the remaining portion of power.

The more she researched, the more she knew only despair remained.

Keke looked at her captain somewhat sadly, "There must still be a way..."

"It's alright." Li Yi smiled comfortingly at Keke, "Even if I can't transform, I can still help everyone, help Keke, just like Susan. So, as long as Keke works hard including my share, I'll still be a magical girl!"

Keke, who wasn't good at comforting people, just nodded heavily and said "Mm!"

Beside them, Twins chuckled, "The Azure Cloud Sect might have a way, Captain Li Yi. Would you like to join the Azure Cloud Sect? Becoming a member of the Azure Cloud Sect, they might be able to help you regain your transformation power."

"No need. I'll use my own power to become a magical girl." Li Yi said indifferently, "Just like you said, magical girls are girls who create miracles, not girls who beg for miracles. I'll create my own miracle."

Twins fell silent for a while before finally restraining her smile, "Your sister was far inferior to you."

"No need for your flattery, and don't speak ill of my sister."

"Twins doesn't flatter others, nor speak ill of people. Under Lady Winter's teaching, I only speak the truth."

When the Disaster Control Bureau personnel arrived one after another, along with the Civil Engineering Team that had been reactivated, Li Yi organized her emotions and escorted Twins to the Disaster Control Bureau.

Even if she were to be executed, it would have to be after a trial.

Then she suddenly remembered something, turning back to look at the girl lying on Keke:

"Ah, that's right, the Disaster Control Bureau's strongest magical girl, Miss Iris, how long are you going to sleep?"

Beihai, outside the factory building in the western district.

Bingtang sat in a Mercedes-Benz that slowly drove up beside Jiang Si who was running home, rolled down the window, and adjusted her plain glasses, "How is Twins? Sect Master."

"Nothing major. I don't know why she wants to enter the Disaster Control Bureau."

"Probably some secret operation from the Witch Association side? Anyway, with Susan cooperating, no need to worry."

"Mm."

"By the way, wasn't your final move a bit too harsh, Sect Master? Your sister was injured quite badly."

"I underestimated." Jiang Si said in a flat tone, "Didn't expect her to be so weak."

"I think you should be more considerate of ordinary magical girls' abilities." Bingtang laughed, "Fortunately Miss Li Yi ultimately created a miracle..."

Although she wanted to have Jiang Si get in the car, she knew the other disliked riding and preferred running.

"If there's nothing else, should I head back first?"

"Wait." Jiang Si suddenly stopped her, "I discovered an unowned Blooming-level miracle seed on Li Yi."

During Li Yi's final outburst, that unowned Blooming seed also emitted magic, its aura completely unable to be concealed.

"Ah?" Bingtang was stunned, "Weren't both taken by the Witch Association?"

"First ask Twins whether the Witch Association really has two seeds."

Jiang Si glanced toward the Disaster Control Bureau, "No matter what, get that seed from Li Yi first."
