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

Jiangming City, inside a factory where work was proceeding like a raging fire.

Ruo Yun sat next to a welding machine in the workshop, looking at the completely unrecognizable knuckle duster, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Almost done.

For Ruo Yun, forging knuckle dusters wasn't anything too difficult.

To add a bit more of a technical feel, she added even more things to the knuckle duster.

For example, a few sharp spikes, some with hooks, a little bit of poison, and she also modified the structure of the middle finger part so the knuckle duster could fire bullets.

Besides gunpowder bullets, there were also flashbangs and smoke grenades.

Ruo Yun felt that since it was a weapon, it definitely had to have bullets, right?

How could something be called a weapon without bullets?

Actually, she had modified the Magic Wands for her friends in the Jiangming City Azure Cloud Sect, and they could all fire magical bullets to some extent.

It's a pity everyone didn't like using them, feeling they weren't 'Magical Girl' enough.

Is hacking people with a Magic Wand really that 'Magical Girl'...

Clearly, Teacher Bai Mei was the least 'Magical Girl' one of all.

Of course, in most situations, Teacher Bai Mei was the benchmark for a Magical Girl.

Ruo Yun liked Teacher Bai Mei very much.

Even though she was so powerful, she still acknowledged firearms, and always said she wanted to incorporate guns as part of sword cultivation.

Ruo Yun actually felt using firearms was a bit lacking for a sword cultivator...

But as long as the teacher liked it, it was fine.

Teacher Bai Mei was the person she most admired, her savior, not just a teacher, but also her elder and family.

In fact, Ruo Yun often inadvertently thought of Teacher Bai Mei as her own mother...

"Miss Ruo Yun, Miss Ruo Yun! We're doomed..."

Hua Hu, with a face full of grief, came running over from a distance holding a stack of documents.

Then she tripped and fell flat on her face.

Utterly incompetent.

Although she was a cadre of the Witch Association, Hua Hu's control over Polluted Magic was appallingly poor.

According to her own words, back then she managed to gain a foothold in the Witch Association by relying on her superb business talent.

Ruo Yun sighed, picked up the pistol beside her, fired a shot at Hua Hu, and the documents scattered on the ground were quickly sucked over.

She liked modifying all her tools into guns.

However, she wasn't very satisfied with the design of this Beretta 92F. She had made it in a hurry before, and the trigger and magazine parts weren't very refined, too rough. The more she looked at it, the more displeased she felt.

It lacked aesthetic appeal. Once it lost artistry, it couldn't be used as a weapon, only as a prop to play with.

Picking up the documents and looking at them, "Acquisition proposal from the Ice Color Era Group?"

Hua Hu got up, dusting off the dirt on her clothes while wearing a woeful expression, "Yes, originally the young lady of their group personally said she wanted to discuss cooperation or something, but suddenly they want to acquire us. We barely managed to avoid the liquidation by the Jiangming City Disaster Control Bureau and the authorities, and now, unexpectedly, the Ice Color Era Company makes a move, boo hoo hoo..."

It's no wonder Hua Hu was crying so sadly.

Because she was facing a life crisis; once the two companies were acquired.

She would lose her qualification to stay in the Saint Hall!

Back when the Saint Hall and the Azure Cloud Sect acted together, all the members of the Witch Association were taken out one by one, even Chilian didn't escape.

The reason she survived was because she, Hua Hu, could make money.

She still remembered that purple-haired girl, like the god of death, who captured her. The terrifying strength and killing intent nearly scared Hua Hu into wetting her pants.

She used many methods to beg for mercy, and actually didn't lie. For example, she didn't do most of the evil deeds of the Witch Association; the harmful things were done by others. She herself just honestly conducted business activities.

Although she also used some shady methods, she never actually killed anyone, at most drove others to bankruptcy.

She admitted she was guilty, but it shouldn't warrant the death penalty and such.

But at that time, no matter what she said, that Saint Hall Envoy had no intention of letting her go. It wasn't until Hua Hu said she had business experience, still held shares in several Witch Association companies, and could help her make money, that she finally managed to keep her little life.

So for Hua Hu, these companies weren't just ordinary companies, and the money they earned wasn't ordinary money.

It was her very life!

Once the companies she managed in Jiangming City were gone, what that Saint Hall Envoy would do, she didn't even have the courage to think about.

Thinking of this, Hua Hu immediately cried even more pitifully.

Irritated by the noise, Ruo Yun picked up the water gun next to her and sprayed Hua Hu, who was crying with her mouth wide open. "So noisy! Shut up!"

Choking, Hua Hu closed her mouth.

Ruo Yun was never someone with a very good temper. She only restrained herself around acquaintances or opponents she couldn't beat. Towards strangers, especially people she disliked, Ruo Yun was always extremely irritable.

Hua Hu happened to fall into the category of people she disliked.

No matter what reasons she had, the fact that she worked for the Witch Association back then made Ruo Yun utterly despise her. She was only kept around because the Saint Hall needed her to run the companies.

If the companies here were really gone, as long as the Saint Hall Envoy gave the order, Ruo Yun would immediately kill this useless remnant of the Witch Association right in front of her.

"The Ice Color Era Group, which company is that?"

Facing Ruo Yun's question, Hua Hu answered honestly, "The biggest company in BH City. Their main business is extensive. The condiments, food, and daily necessities we buy in supermarkets all have their products. They have several complete industrial lines in East China. It's a world top 100 old enterprise, also a real estate giant in Beihai. They are the main partner in the current Jiangming reconstruction."

"Why do they suddenly want to acquire us?"

"I don't know! Suddenly they said they were very optimistic about our prospects and wanted to acquire us for mutual development. Currently, the board of directors is very supportive. After all, it's a big industry, like hitching a ride on a powerful back..."

Ruo Yun held the gun, tapping the muzzle against her own temple. "What are the implications?"

"The management rights of the company won't be with us anymore." Hua Hu said quietly. "Then it wouldn't really be considered a Saint Hall asset anymore."

"Can we not get the money anymore?"

"That's not necessarily. If acquired by the Ice Color Era Group, we'd receive significant investment. Plus, during this period when Jiangming is in reconstruction, as long as we can seize the opportunity, we can expand our scale by another fold! At that time, the operating funds would also be more..."

Ruo Yun looked puzzled. "Then isn't that good?"

"The problem is, the problem is..."

Hua Hu whispered, "In that case, the nominal ownership of the company would belong to the Ice Color Era Group, not our Saint Hall..."

"What does that matter?"

"Chilian said, without your own assets, you can't be considered a major organization. Our Saint Hall is a major organization. And what if I get 'optimized' out?..."

"...I don't care if you die."

Ruo Yun waved her hand, casually throwing the documents back. "What major organization? We don't need that. Our goal is only to make money. The Saint Hall Envoy said our current task is to get more money, then exchange it for points. I need points to exchange for the forging method of the Supreme Emperor's Weapon."

"But..."

"If you think it's inappropriate, you can go ask the Saint Hall Envoy yourself."

Hua Hu finally quieted down.

Ruo Yun looked up, scanning the workshops around the factory.

Countless weapons were continuously being produced.

Not far away, there were rows of former Witch Association affiliates who, because of the Disaster Control Bureau's liquidation, could only hide here and work as ordinary security guards or guards.

The Saint Hall was short on manpower; Ruo Yun knew that.

She and Hua Hu also didn't have the ability to find those Magical Girls and witches and invite them to join the Saint Hall.

However.

"Saints of the Hall! Fall in!"

Following the command, rows of combat personnel holding guns and weapons marched into the factory in an orderly and solemn manner.

Ruo Yun revealed a satisfied smile.

Although the number of supernatural beings in the Saint Hall was somewhat small, it didn't matter.

Ordinary combat personnel, equipped with her weapons, could also participate in battles against Magical Girls and the Witch Association!

With the magical weapons she created, as long as they coordinated properly, these ordinary combat personnel could also clear out Disaster Beasts!

"I need more funds to expand the ranks of the Saints of the Hall."

Hua Hu was stunned. "You're spending too much money, Miss Ruo Yun. The Saint Hall Envoy will be angry..."

"This is for the future of the Saint Hall!"

Ruo Yun declared confidently. "The greater our strength, the more money we can earn in the future! The Saint Hall Envoy will definitely understand."

"In the future, the name 'Saint Hall' will resound throughout the world!"

......

Twins only caught a distant glimpse of Lady Bingtang in Beihai before running away.

It wasn't that she didn't like going to act spoiled with Lady Bingtang, it was simply that she was a bit worried that once she went over.

She would immerse herself in Lady Bingtang's gentleness and become a little good-for-nothing who could only crawl on the ground without Lady Bingtang.

For a witch, once you become weak, it's hard to exert your full strength. That's how it was when she ran away from the Azure Cloud Sect.

There was even a time when she couldn't even use her copying ability.

So it was better not to get too close to Lady Bingtang so soon.

Those beautiful, gentle emotions were the deadliest poison for a witch.

Only by immersing herself in filth could she be of help to Lady Bingtang.

Go for it, Twins, you're the best. When the time comes, tell Lady Bingtang your little thoughts.

Lady Bingtang will definitely be moved to tears, then hug her fiercely, ruffle her head, and praise her, saying Twins did really well!

Just fantasizing about that scene made Twins unable to hold back a silly grin.

But she quickly regained her composure.

Now was not the time to waste time daydreaming.

She sat in the park, taking out an almost withered vine from her pocket.

And also a dead gu insect from Chilian.

Cutting open her own skin, thick, Polluted Magic blood dripped onto the vine and the gu insect. Both the vine and the gu insect gradually regained vitality.

Of course, it wasn't resurrection.

This skill she had copied from a certain Magical Girl was actually about awakening the memories residing within living beings.

The gu insect and the vine both retained the most complete and pure memories of the Captain and Chilian, so using the skill wasn't difficult.

Nor did she need to specifically filter out unnecessary, chaotic memories.

Soon, the vine transformed into the long-unseen miniature form of the Captain.

After being confused for a moment, it slowly said, "I remember now... I'm not a Disaster Beast... I am... I am..."

"I am the Captain!"

Habitually patting the Captain's dog head, Twins praised the Captain for reacting so quickly.

But the gu insect next to her failed to transform into Chilian's form.

"? Why isn't the child moving, a stillbirth?" Twins thought her ability had messed up. Poking it, she suddenly heard Chilian's angry shout.

"What are you doing! Don't touch me!"

Exchanging a glance with the Captain, the two of them simultaneously let out a "hehe" laugh.

"Well, well, if it isn't our great Jiangming City director, Chilian?"

The Captain said sarcastically. "Looks like you've already dealt with the Azure Cloud Sect, currently experiencing life inside a parasitic gu insect, huh? So fast, less than three days to handle the Azure Cloud Sect. I, the Captain, declare you the strongest!"

"Ah, Captain, you're underestimating Lady Chilian too much." Twins chimed in with a giggle. "Lady Chilian is truly peerless! It only took three hours to take them down!"

"Wow, amazing! Who else but you could be worthy of being the East China regional director in the future!"

The Captain said with a woeful face. "We only lasted three years before being handled. Twins! You should feel ashamed!"

"Wah wah wah, Captain, I'm sorry, Twins is useless... Even though you're also trash, Captain, it's still Twins' fault for being useless, wah wah wah..."

"I'm in a good mood today, won't argue with you."

Although the gu insect didn't speak, Twins could feel it heating up.

It turned red.

After a long while, it finally said through gritted teeth, "You plotted against me!"

"Hey, don't say that, what do you mean plotted." The Captain immediately laughed. "We already warned you. The Azure Cloud Sect is very strong. Even I only lasted three years. But you were always far worse than me, so lasting three days is pretty good."

"Not three days, three hours and three minutes." Twins immediately corrected. "I was timing it the whole time. Where did you get three days? Even if you count the time spent traveling and finding people, round trip, it was actually only two days."

"Tsk, look at you, so sarcastic. After all, Chilian is also the director of a major city's Witch Association."

"Oh, I'm really sorry. Twins is too stupid, actually telling the truth..."

"Enough!" The gu insect was almost glowing red, starting to smoke. "That's about enough! You said you lasted three years. The Azure Cloud Sect has only been active for three years. The reason you could last three years is because the Azure Cloud Sect hadn't developed yet, and you're actually proud of that! If it were me, I wouldn't have let the Azure Cloud Sect develop at all!"

The Captain said in a sinister tone, "Wouldn't let the Azure Cloud Sect develop? If you hadn't gone to South China to pick up a couple of Grief Seeds from Complete Witches and stolen their abilities, you'd still be a stray dog on the roadside! What capital do you have to stop them from developing? Want me to calculate for you the time you went to South China?"

"Even if we deduct the Azure Cloud Sect's development time, they started clearing out the entire Witch Association in Beihai in their second year. Under the Azure Cloud Sect's full-scale encirclement and suppression, I led the main force in a victorious strategic shift, developing the organization's scale outside Beihai, constantly stirring up relations between the Disaster Control Bureau and the Azure Cloud Sect, even planting spies, inciting Disaster Control Bureau members to defect, dealing heavy blows to both the Disaster Control Bureau and the Azure Cloud Sect simultaneously!"

"These are the achievements I accomplished under the condition that the Azure Cloud Sect had already fully developed. In the end, I almost succeeded in taking the entire city of Beihai. Planning for five years, fighting for one year, a decisive battle with the Azure Cloud Sect at the peak of Beihai, lost by a single move. You, the Jiangming stray dog who got speedrun in three hours by the Azure Cloud Sect, couldn't even apply a little pressure, yet you dare bark in front of me!"

The Captain's words were forceful and resounding. "If you want to beat me, you're still far from it! Rookie!"

Beside him, Twins started clapping, "Clap clap clap! Captain is mighty!"

Blowing a breath, the Captain flicked his hair, with a hint of arrogance. "Azure Cloud Sect prisoners, fall in!"

Twins, holding the gu insect that had curled into a ball, stepped forward.

Then she looked back at the Captain and suddenly whispered, "Ah, wait, Captain, aren't we prisoners too?"

So the Captain also voluntarily took a step forward.

Twins obediently took another step forward as well.

"What exactly do you two want!"

Hearing Chilian's somewhat frantic question, Twins immediately gave a "hehe" laugh. "Isn't it because you lost so miserably? As colleagues, we must definitely get back at them! Find the Witch Association in the next city, vent our anger for us, take revenge on the Azure Cloud Sect!"

"Are you serious?" Chilian couldn't help but say. "Which city's Witch Association can handle the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Hearing Chilian's words, the Captain snorted again. "Truly a stray dog, even your spine has been broken! Our Witch Association is full of talented people. There must be one that can handle the Azure Cloud Sect. If you don't even have this much confidence, why did you join the Witch Association!"

"And," Twins whispered, "This three-hour speedrun thing is just too embarrassing. Everyone in the Witch Association is laughing at you now. Chilian obviously consumed so many resources, yet it was over in three hours."

"Who! Who is so bored, spreading the news that I got speedrun in three hours!"

"Twins just made a report to everyone in the Witch Association, that's all." Twins said with a playful laugh. "Lady Chilian, you had connections with quite a few other city's Witch Associations back in Jiangming, right? The Captain and I plan to find another powerful Witch Association to help us get revenge, and by the way, get revenge for you too. How about it, very thoughtful, right?"

"Wishful thinking! Those are all my comrades, my colleagues!" Chilian said coldly. "I'm not like you two. I would absolutely never betray my companions!"

Twins made a bitter face. "Captain, look at her!"

The Captain then snorted coldly. "Treating those who secretly mock and laugh at you as colleagues and comrades, you really are pitiful."

"Better than you." Chilian's attitude also hardened. "I will absolutely never betray my comrades!"

"It's over." Twins whispered. "What do we do now, Captain?"

"Useless."

The Captain glanced at her, then asked, "Chilian, are you just giving up so simply?"

"Precisely because I'm not giving up that I won't betray my comrades."

"Hmph, self-deception!"

The Captain said sharply from the side. "Only you, a dead person, think acting like this means you haven't lost. Who in this world doesn't think you lost? Speedrun in three hours. Which member of the Witch Association isn't arrogant and proud? You say they are colleagues and comrades? Ask them if they're willing to acknowledge a speedrun loser like you as a colleague or comrade!"

Chilian was stunned.

"Members of the Witch Association should dare to draw their swords against the enemy! Do they know they're afraid of the Azure Cloud Sect? Isn't it that they're itching to destroy the Azure Cloud Sect and earn military merit? You're here being self-righteously moved, a pure joke to them!"

The Captain continued in a deep voice. "Recommend a powerful Witch Association to us. If they win, the Azure Cloud Sect is annihilated, your disgraceful record is wiped clean! If they lose, as long as the speedrun time is less than three hours, you won't be the most embarrassing one. No matter what, you win! Double win! Win twice! Don't you want to win?"

Originally hesitant, Chilian was somewhat swayed by the Captain's persuasion. "Really... is there anyone who can be worse than me?"

"Don't worry, the Azure Cloud Sect's speed in clearing Witch Associations will only get faster and faster." Twins immediately said. "The Azure Cloud Sect will grow stronger and stronger. For those not strong enough, two hours, no, we'll customize one for you! Help you secure a victory within one hour and twenty-two minutes! At that time, Twins will definitely do a big promotion for you! Make everyone forget you got speedrun in three hours!"

The Captain added, "Of course, if you don't want to, forget it. After all, this way you'll also go down in Witch Association history, be remembered forever. It can be considered, considered becoming a big celebrity, right? Hahaha..."

Chilian roared, "Who wants to become a celebrity like that!"

Then she immediately said, "I know of a city, not far from Beihai. They've been preparing for twenty years! They definitely have a chance to annihilate the Azure Cloud Sect. This is not betrayal! I'm just giving them an opportunity to achieve great deeds and make a name for themselves!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Twins nodded repeatedly over there, then turned around, giving the Captain a high-five.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"There's no way we can lose!"
