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

Boom!

Qingying, who had been sent flying backward, knelt on the ground.

Cards were scattered all over the floor.

But they were all cards that had lost their star patterns.

The magic of Magical Girls in South China was rarely developed through their own training.

They defeated Disaster Beasts, sealed them into cards, and then used their Magic Wands to read them, allowing them to use the Disaster Beasts' abilities.

Although they could only use each ability once per battle, Magical Girls could learn from them. Once they mastered an ability, they could use it themselves.

They could also spend time and magic power to recharge used cards, allowing them to swipe and use them directly in the next battle.

Therefore, defeating Disaster Beasts, sealing their powers, and collecting cards was the path to becoming stronger for South China's Magical Girls.

Of course, some novice Magical Girls would receive help from their seniors, obtaining powerful cards for free.

For example, Qingying's Final Judgment was a card gifted to her by a senior.

However, powerful cards like this were almost impossible to use during the Sprout period.

Using it once during the Seedling period would cause them to exit their transformed state.

It wasn't until the Blooming stage that they could better control and use such abilities.

Other cards were mostly similar - over the years she had collected and learned many magical abilities...

But none of it mattered now.

This A-level Disaster Beast, specially created by the Witch Association to deal with them, had terrifying resistance to magic.

Although it couldn't immune to the secondary physical phenomena caused by magic.

As a Disaster Beast, its natural defensive capabilities were horrifying enough,

leaving no choice but to engage in direct, hard-hitting physical combat.

And Qingluan wasn't good at that at all...

Her previous star-patterned battle attire had completely shattered.

The goat Disaster Beast wasn't particularly large, only about the height of a normal adult.

It elegantly jumped down from the building, looking down at Qingluan from above.

It somehow felt... almost human-like.

It was probably a Disaster Beast made using humans as raw materials.

Thinking of this, Qingying bit her lip and stood up again, gripping her Magic Wand.

Unforgivable!

These despicable members of the Witch Association had been deceiving everyone all along!

If she lost here, Jiangming would become a breeding ground for the Witch Association - they would turn everyone into Disaster Beasts!

"I will... not lose!"

No cards left, no skills available.

Qingying stabbed her Magic Wand into the ground, unleashing the last of her power as a Blooming Magical Girl.

She tore open the earth!

Actually, this was magic she had seen before, but she hadn't obtained the card, so she hadn't learned how to use it in detail.

But at this moment, the only method she could think of was to throw it into the abyss!

Rubble continuously attached itself to the goat Disaster Beast, dragging it underground as the ground was torn open!

The moment the goat fell in,

Qingying violently used her magic power to close the ground again!

Although it was quite different from the original [Earth-Rending Fangs], the imitated version had similar power.

Sealing this goat deep underground, as long as she could suppress it, rest for a moment, and then figure out what to do next... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The ground began to tremble.

Stunned, many thoughts flashed through Qingying's mind.

But finally, when the ground bulged from the vibrations and the goat fiercely burst out from underground,

she couldn't think of anything anymore.

Her heart sank straight to the bottom.

As if she was the one being dragged into the underground abyss.

She could only look up, her whole body cold, at the proud goat.

The goat's eyes, terrifying like a demon's, stared at her with cold mockery, before finally letting out a sound:

"Baa..."

The next second, the goat kicked out into empty air.

A terrifying force instantly stirred up a violent wind! Like a light wave hitting Qingying!

It was just a simple kick.

The enormous force sent Qingying flying like a meteor!

Instantly piercing through a high-rise building, then smashing through two more buildings before crashing into a tall iron pole. The tall pole creaked as it was knocked over, falling horizontally and crashing into a nearby small lake, splashing up large amounts of water!

Creating a large crater in the ground, then rolling several times.

Qingying finally de-transformed, lying on the ground gasping for breath.

There was no sense of pain, just an intensely uncomfortable fatigue.

High-intensity combat, prolonged transformation.

Her mind even felt somewhat heavy.

So much so that when she tried to get up, all four limbs were trembling.

Perhaps also because of fear.

Blooming Magical Girl, Qingying.

This is where it ends.

She would die...

It felt like walking a tightrope over a cliff, that moment of losing balance, the despair and fear overwhelming her like a tidal wave.

The girl who always stood in front of others, saving others.

For the first time, she felt the extravagant hope that someone would save her.

She thought of Little White, hoping that Little White wouldn't be bullied at the Disaster Control Bureau in the future. Without her, with Little White's soft personality, it would be best to find another Magical Girl as a good friend.

Although thinking about Little White being with someone else made her feel somewhat sour.

Shui Ling, she hoped the Disaster Control Bureau could help her find her friends. With the current situation so bad, the Bureau should let go of past grievances and cooperate with the Azure Cloud Sect.

If they waited for support from headquarters, it would probably take too long. Cooperating with the Azure Cloud Sect to resist the Witch Association was the best approach now...

Unfortunately, she hadn't managed to achieve that.

And also, her senior - the one whose power was stolen, who lost consciousness - she still hadn't found a way to cure her...

Many things came to mind, some regrets, some unwillingness.

But when that somewhat comical-looking goat stepped onto the building above, looking down at her, Qingying stopped thinking.

Struggling to get up, she considered what methods remained to distract the enemy.

To buy more time for the Disaster Control Bureau...

But she couldn't even perform Magic Equipment Extraction now, not a single bit of magic power remained in her body.

Would her father be sad?

At this final moment, she suddenly thought of this.

Although he had never cared about her since her mother died protecting her, always busy with work, treating her coldly.

But he probably still considered her his daughter, right?

Since becoming a Magical Girl and having Little White, she hadn't craved her father's attention and love like before.

But, there were still some small regrets.

If only she could reconcile with her father, that would be good. Then when she met her mother, she wouldn't make her sad...

The goat raised its hoof.

Aiming at her forehead.

The world stood still—

"The heavens call!"

A somewhat triumphant bird-like cry descended from above.

"The earth calls!"

At the same time, enormous gravity instantly pressed the goat into the building!

"Humanity calls!"

Stunned, as the world began moving again, Qingying looked up. A girl hanging from a helicopter with one hand, holding petals with the other hand, scattering flowers in the air, confidently and charmingly waved her fist at her.

"Calling me—Magical Girl Iris! Hey! Did you miss me, Qingluan!" With a somewhat proud laugh, the girl jumped directly from the helicopter, "Look at you, you're really in a sorry state, Qingying. You really can't manage without me, Iris!"

The goat that had been pressed into the building simultaneously leaped up fiercely!

"Mediocre Work, Second Form: The Crushing Land of Loss!"

The goat fell back into the building at an even faster speed!

Amidst clouds of dust and roaring sounds, Yingwei landed in front of Qingying, turning to wink at her friend, "So? Cool, right? Have you fallen for me?"

"Idiot."

Qingluan sniffled and wiped her face, "You're too slow!"

"Ah! Speaking of that, that guy Jiang Si left me in the car, didn't even wake me up when we arrived at the station, making me overshoot! I had to search for the way for so long, finally had to call my family's helicopter to pick me up..."

"Serves you right for being an idiot."

"That's too much, Qingying! I came to save you! Let me be clear first, this counts as my win! Now our record is twelve to one!"

Qingying couldn't help but laugh, "You really have the nerve to say that! You've lost twelve times, and you're this happy about winning just once?"

"Hmph, winning once means the balance of power between us has reversed!"

Yingwei proudly lifted her chin like a haughty swan, "But it's only twelve losses - I'll win them back soon enough!"

"Also, your wink is way worse than Kingfisher's. You didn't learn it well."

"Qingluan, you're definitely just jealous of me! Kingfisher praised me for learning it well!"

Amid their bickering, the goat charged over again like a meteor, carrying terrifying momentum!

"Watch out!"

Yingwei simply gripped her seed firmly.

"Mental Landscape Expansion!"

Black gravity devoured the world!

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in the empty, void-like Mental Landscape.

The running Disaster Beast suddenly let out a piercing shriek!

Qingluan watched from afar, somewhat dazed.

Running wildly in a Mental Landscape with uneven gravity was extremely dangerous.

Even she wouldn't dare do that.

Although Yingwei's gravity magic was indeed magic, the physical effects it caused weren't magical in nature.

As a result, that goat Disaster Beast couldn't resist the damage caused by gravity at all.

Half of its body was torn apart due to the uneven gravity!

"No need to worry." The Yingwei in front of her confidently smiled, her back turned to Qingying.

Just like a hero.

"I am the strongest Magical Girl of Jiangming City's Disaster Control Bureau!"

.....

"Hua Hu!"

Chilian, sitting in the car, looked angrily at the masked girl in the crystal ball, "I told you to blockade the airspace! Why could someone still get in!"

Hua Hu hung her head, speaking quietly, "I couldn't cover everything alone, so I asked the Witch Association's security department to help monitor..."

"Then why did someone manage to enter by helicopter!"

"Because... because she's too rich..."

Hua Hu said helplessly, "The people in the security department are all newcomers to the Witch Association, not very loyal. When offered too much money, they... just let her through..."

Chilian rubbed her temples.

"I'm very disappointed in you, Hua Hu."

"I'm sorry, Lady Chilian..."

Looking at the apologetically bowing Hua Hu, Chilian momentarily didn't know how to criticize her.

This was a newcomer she had personally promoted, exceptionally talented, someone who might potentially become a complete witch in the future.

If anyone else had messed up this badly, she would have felt like killing them.

She had repeatedly emphasized - absolutely must not allow Magical Girls to enter, nor let them leave.

Yet someone had flown in openly by helicopter!

Couldn't you at least have hidden it? Couldn't you have been sneaky about it?

This was practically slapping her in the face!

Taking a deep breath, Chilian calmed herself down.

The car was speeding toward the Disaster Control Bureau, and soon the industrial park building of the Bureau came into view.

"Forget it, let's not worry about that for now. Baldie is already dead, and A from the leather factory is dead too. Now only you and Hornet remain. You need to cooperate well and stop the Azure Cloud Sect's Magical Girl..."

Then Chilian heard Hua Hu go "Um" again.

Lately, every time Hua Hu said "Um," it meant something bad was coming, making Chilian's heart skip a beat whenever she heard it.

Sure enough.

"B-boss..." Hua Hu said, "I can't contact Hornet."

For a moment, Chilian wanted to smash the crystal ball in front of her.

She really wanted to say, "Could you please stop saying 'Um' from now on?"

But she remained calm.

"Why can't you contact him? We just had a meeting earlier. Hornet released two B-level Disaster Beasts into the Disaster Control Bureau - that was only a few hours ago, right?"

"I-I don't know. I've been trying to contact him since earlier, but I can't reach him. I called, but no one answered."

Chilian took a deep breath.

It's fine, just a small accident.

Hornet was the most cautious and strongest executive among them. Even if he couldn't defeat that white Magical Girl, he shouldn't have gotten killed.

He's probably just temporarily unreachable...

The crystal ball suddenly flickered, then split into a second screen.

The screen revealed a thinning middle-aged man's head.

"Hornet!" Chilian sighed in relief. She had intended to scold him, but the current situation had kept her uneasy. Seeing Hornet now actually brought some relief and reassurance, so she wasn't really angry.

She could only say, "If something comes up, say something. Don't just disappear without a word."

"Got it, got it."

But the voice that came through wasn't right.

Chilian's pupils contracted as she looked down, seeing Hornet's head slowly split open!

Splashing red and white fluids flowed out, dirtying the crystal ball!

Then someone wiped the crystal ball clean, and that somewhat tattered fox mask reoccupied the crystal ball.

"I've been reflecting on my own issues recently. Now the Witch Association should only have one executive left, right? Or two? I'm not sure, but you should be short on people."

Chilian's eyes turned blood red. Centipedes, scorpions, spiders, and snakes crawled wildly over her body, even climbing onto the crystal ball as if trying to pass through it and bite the young man on the other side.

"You! Did! What!"

The young man's response remained casual, "I said I want to join the Witch Association, and I must have an executive position. If you don't give it to me, I'll purify... never mind. Anyway, I'll keep killing until you're short on executives. Should be enough now, right? If not, I'll kill another one - how about the one next to you right now?"

Hua Hu immediately jumped in fright, "Lady Chilian..."

"Who exactly are you! What do you want!"

"Memory problems? Playing with bugs too much can cause dementia." The young man looked at her impatiently, "I am the Bloody-Handed Demon Butcher, Saint Hall Wanderer, Jiang the Demon Butcher. I'm asking you for an executive position to join the Witch Association - is that hard to understand?"

Chilian was momentarily so angry she laughed.

You're saying I have brain problems?

"If you want to join the Witch Association, couldn't you just have told me!?"

"If I told you, would you have made me an executive? Who's being naive here, me or you, Chilian?"

Chilian fell silent.

That was true - if the other party had joined the Witch Association normally, getting an executive position would have been basically impossible.

Only through this method could Chilian have no other choice.

Not a psychopath, but a true...

expert.

"So then, are you giving it or not? If not, I'll keep killing."

"Fine!" She squeezed the word out through gritted teeth, along with a bug, "So why do you want an executive position anyway?"

"Having an executive position means I can help you deal with Magical Girls, of course." The other party said as if it were obvious, "Wasn't the Witch Association established to crush Magical Girls?"

"We're not for such low-level goals..."

"I don't want to hear your long speeches. Anyway, that's the surface goal, right?"

"......Yes."

"Coincidentally, isn't there a white Magical Girl fighting you all recently?" The young man leaned forward, speaking seriously, "Let me help you defeat her, how about that?"

"Fine." For the first time, Chilian found herself being led by the nose by someone else.

Like a dog.

"So, what do you want?"

"Haha." The other party laughed heartily, "I like smart people. Although you weren't smart before, you're finally showing some intelligence now. I've said it before - your Disaster Beast production methods, the Calamity Egg, and Disaster Beast control methods. Send them over, quickly. Without these abilities, how can I fight Magical Girls?"

After a long silence, Chilian continued, "Regarding the Calamity Egg and Disaster Beasts - if you're currently in Hornet's underground warehouse, go left to the third room. Password 66478 has what you want. But the production methods and Disaster Beast control techniques... wait until you've actually captured that white Magical Girl..."

"So you don't trust me, huh?"

Damn, you come in killing two of my executives, forcibly demand an executive position from me, and then blame me for not trusting you?

Chilian barely restrained the impulse to curse, "This is the Witch Association's rule - no rewards without merit! And if I just give you these things without you doing anything, wouldn't you suspect I'm playing tricks?"

"Reasonable, but I need the Disaster Beast control methods."

"I'll consider it."

"Three seconds."

"Considered. Sending it to you immediately."

"Oh, one more condition."

The young man suddenly remembered something and asked, "The process of becoming a perfect witch - I'm curious about that."

Chilian's pupils contracted. The vehicle had stopped near the industrial park.

Ahead, the battle between Disaster Beasts and Magical Girls had affected the outside roads, and the driver didn't dare approach.

"That's our Witch Association's core secret. Only regional directors know about it."

"So that's why I'm asking you. I could be a regional director too."

Chilian sneered coldly, "If you can capture that white Magical Girl, telling you wouldn't matter."

"Good, keep your word. Wait for my good news."

After the crystal ball went dark, Chilian got out of the car and looked at her crystal ball.

Only her own lonely reflection remained.

Just three hours ago, she had been in her office having a meeting with four executives, enthusiastically discussing the Witch Association's future.

But three hours later.

Apart from Hua Hu, whom she had little hope for now, only she remained.

Those massive industries, wealth, countless personnel, the once-crowded building -

Everything felt like an illusory dream.

In just three hours, everything had become ethereal beyond measure.

Years of accumulation seemed meaningless.

Looking back, the city north she once controlled now resembled a giant beast opening its mouth wide, as if ready to devour her at any moment.

Saint Hall... Azure Cloud Sect... Saint Hall... Azure Cloud Sect...

She chewed on these two names, thinking of the already-deceased captain.

And remembering those words.

Three years.

Taking a deep breath, she shook her head, not letting herself think too much.

Placing a perfect witch's Grief Seed at the blood cross on her forehead,

"Devour the heart, erode the bones, myriad insects through the seasons!"

Countless venomous insects crawled all over her body!

These insects quickly transformed into a witch's Magical Outfit, attaching to her body. Every corner of her clothing was made of wriggling insects, in toxic black-purple hues.

She stepped into the sky above the Disaster Control Bureau.

She had originally wanted to take it slowly, since moving too fast could attract headquarters' attention.

But the current situation had become so dangerously tense that she didn't dare delay any longer.

First, capture the Disaster Control Bureau. Once she had the Bureau, she wouldn't need to worry so much!

"See! See! Qingluan! A mere A-level Disaster Beast, I took it down easily!"

"That's only because your ability happens to counter it."

"What are you talking about, my defeated opponent? Are you this jealous seeing me display my great power?"

"Okay, okay, our Iris is the strongest..."

The Magical Girls who had just finished their great battle were celebrating joyfully.

The strongest Magical Girl, having slain the A-level Disaster Beast, was about to go hug Qingying,

When in the next second, she staggered, falling straight forward, face down, motionless.

Qingying's face still carried a smile, but she instantly panicked, "Yingwei!"

But after just two steps, she too staggered and fell to her knees.

Tiny venomous insects crawled out from Yingwei and Qingluan's ears, raising their heads and vibrating their antennae toward the sky.

Chilian walked down from the air, countless fine insects crawling throughout the industrial park.

"Laid out over three years, never thought I'd have to use it today."

Chilian stroked Qingying's beautiful chin, "You've worked hard, Magical Girls. Now, become my Witch Association's most capable assistants!"

More Magical Girls walked out from the Disaster Control Bureau, each with insects crawling by their ears.

Some even had them crawled into their noses and mouths, or were resting on their faces motionless.

Their expressions were dazed, eyes empty, like walking corpses, stumbling unsteadily.

The last one to emerge was Shui Ling, drool flowing from her mouth.

Azure Cloud Sect? Saint Hall Wanderer?

Looking at the Magical Girls kneeling uniformly before her, Chilian once again revealed a confident smile.

Before my Magical Girl brigade, what can you possibly do!

The Disaster Control Bureau's mirror world was not only concealed but also had perfect defensive measures. The Witch Association hadn't been able to breach it for so long, only able to break through by controlling the Bureau's members.

Next, hiding in the Disaster Control Bureau's mirror world, they could even seek assistance from headquarters!

After all, this was a genuine Magical Girl organization!

I, Chilian, cannot possibly fail to endure three years!
