Chapter 290
The reason why the Mirror World almost forced her to unleash her [Great Full Bloom] was 90% due to her role as the Guardian, which forced her to break through immediately and return to the Public Performance venue.
Xie Qingyu sped upwards, her speed doubling once again, instantly breaking through the heat barrier and the sound barrier, as if traversing space, reaching a height of a hundred miles, returning to the stratosphere, and rushing towards the Mirror Tree, whose size was growing larger and was already three or four hundred meters tall.
In response,
Chu Yuanqing reacted quickly. After dispersing her Magic Clone and seeing the prelude to the activation of [Full Bloom], she unleashed a series of Spiral Magic Sword strikes, stirring up a hurricane and thunder that covered a radius of ten miles around the Mirror Tree, which then transformed into a massive amount of Rainbow Light that scattered like a heavy rain.
Even with Xie Qingyu's speed, she couldn't dodge such a saturation attack.
The key issue is that the Spiral Magic Sword, which was previously able to break through defenses, now, even with its power amplified four or five times after charging, is only able to scratch the surface with its scattered rainbow Rainbow Light. After barely tearing through the Netherflame that forms the outer shell, it is powerless to continue.
This is a stark contrast in hardware capabilities.
Chu Yuanqing had anticipated this, so half of the attack unleashed by the Spiral Magic Sword fell on Xie Qingyu like a torrential rain, while the other half flowed backwards, pouring water on the Mirror Tree. It was through the effect of spatial teleportation that the behemoth disappeared from its original spot.
The violet was completely unfazed by this, and it said earnestly:
"Xiaoyu, Qing Bao must have moved the tree with the Spiral Sword. Let's ignore that and just go for it and beat Qing Bao down!"
Xie Qingyu raised her eyes and unleashed her Magic Domain. Illusory butterflies fluttered down, and violet petals expanded rapidly with the particles, engulfing the entire Mortal Realm Barrier in a second.
--field.
This is a special skill after activating [Full Bloom] and becoming completely idealistic, which can completely encompass the territory of Salzburg.
Chu Yuanqing could not leave the barrier, so his whereabouts would naturally be exposed.
But after being deceived and manipulated multiple times, she no longer even trusted the information fed back by the domain.
It's okay.
All we need to do is bomb the entire area into nothingness in one go.
In an instant, the dome swayed and roared, and a deep purple to almost black magic filled everything in sight, with butterflies and bubbles overflowing from the spatial cracks.
--My Destined Magic: Netherworld Butterfly.

P. S.: You can also let the book run indefinitely, because no matter how many subscriptions you get, I'll finish it properly. That's all, goodnight.
Volume 1: 275. The so-called God of War, a complete victory, the afterglow of Savior. (7K long chapter)
Inside the castle,
The Little Idol watched with bated breath.
Charlotte even pulled Forget-me-not over, making this innocent little blue tit, not even a year old, act as a tool to maintain the barrier.
Of course, the Saintess also put in a lot of effort. The rose-patterned mark on her lower abdomen was slightly warm, and the magic power stored within it was poured into it in one go to strengthen the Pocket Dimension.
The Doomsday Diva touched her slender, flat stomach and complained:
"Xiaoyu is really something, isn't it easy for this Pocket Dimension to explode?"
Chu Wangshu's face was serious. After activating her Supernatural Senses, she could sense that the entrance to the barrier was right in front of her. The magical fluctuations belonging to Xie Qingyu were extremely powerful even across the space, making her instinctively smell danger.
Tang Liuli complained:
"There's no other way. Xiao Xuan's older sister seems to be terrified of Qing Bao. If I had been tricked that badly, I would also have thought of using an AOE spell to end the game directly."
"After all, didn't Sister Charlotte say that her raw strength gives her an absolute advantage? It would be really stupid to play Hide-and-Seek Qing Bao that."
Charlotte felt that Xiaoyu had never been very smart, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say it directly.
Little Sakura's eyes were full of curiosity. She tugged at the Saintess beside her and asked:
"So, what kind of magic did Xie Qingyu use? Why does she have a rock melody that she can play? And it sounds pretty good!"
After hearing this, Chu Wangshu also raised his hand as if to say something.
Unfortunately, the Golden Haired Doggy answered first, revealing the secret in one sentence:
"That's the melody of 'Netherworld Butterfly,' her debut solo song after the group's formation, and also the origin of their group's name."
Charlotte nodded and said:
"Since Xiaoyu has already used it, I might as well tell everyone in advance."
"As I mentioned before, <FlashDance> is a program for selecting Magical Girl, but it's also genuinely nurturing idols. The reason is that the [Flow State] you create on stage is a method for eliminating Calamity Beasts."
Without a second thought, the Doomsday Diva completely forgot the Countermeasures Bureau's secret regulations and happily explained:
"And as you officially [Lighting Up] and slowly [Flower Bloom], [Flow State] will evolve into your own unique Destined Magic, perfectly suited for the stage, and capable of unleashing incredible power in formal performances."
"Of course, it can also be used by one person like Xiaoyu."
The Little Idol were greatly shocked.
[Flow State] can actually evolve into magic, and it's even specifically designed for the stage?
Kiriwake Yayoi felt like she was living in a dream world. Magical Girl and idols really don't conflict at all; they combine to create double the joy.
So, when she performs on stage, wouldn't that be practically equivalent to saving the world?
The Green Eyed Cat pointed to the horrifying scene on the Magic Screen and couldn't help but complain:
"But Xie Qingyu's Destined Magic looks extremely dangerous; she shattered space itself. It doesn't look like something you'd use on a stage, does it?"
Charlotte earnestly corrected him:
"That's not spatial rupture. Xiaoyu's Destined Magic is a type of Inherent Domain, so when she uses it, it's like adding another space inside the Mortal Realm Barrier, which naturally causes a conflict. And those cracks are the result of that conflict."
"As for the specific effects, I remember when she first became Magical Girl, it probably only enhanced the infectiousness of rock music, allowing the notes played and sung to materialize on a spiritual level, thus amplifying her own dazzling effect."
Little Sakura was greatly shocked, and she said:
"So, she's going to take out her Electric Guitar and start strumming and singing in a bit?"
Chu Wangshu complained:
"No, no, no, those butterflies and bubbles look incredibly dangerous. And if that's the case, Xie Qingyu shouldn't have been carrying around parasols and Tang Saber; she should have just started hitting people with Electric Guitar from the beginning. That would have been more rock and roll!"
The Green Eyed Cat thought for a moment and agreed:
"Oh right, so when you think about it, her parasol was only used to fire Magic Cannon, and her Melee Combat with Tang Saber was incredibly clumsy. She might as well have just smashed people with Electric Guitar."
Charlotte patted her daughter's head without saying a word, but she had a vague idea in her mind.
When the Magic Armor was first constructed, the hyacinths and blue roses that withered in the world of the mind, as well as the parasol and Tang-style sword that were simply integrated into the Magic Armor.
Although it was a bit clumsy and silly, Xiaoyu was probably just using her own way to commemorate those who had left.
Within the Mortal Realm Barrier,
The world has been painted a dark purple, as if the Magic Tide of the River Styx are intertwined between heaven and earth, creating a perfect sensory experience in conjunction with the Magic Domain.
Xie Qingyu was surrounded by jet-black butterflies, which sometimes withered and sometimes regenerated, looking like beautiful ribbons or gorgeous halos from a distance. Her rock-style Lolita, after being reconstructed, appeared even more rebellious and cool, which suited such flashy special effects very well.
The violet boldly flew out of the lantern, looked at the swarms of butterflies covering the sky and earth, hummed a lively melody, and happily said:
"Xiaoyu, let's ignite our Rock Soul together!"
As soon as the words were spoken,
The Lantern Fairy transformed into a stream of light and landed in the girl's arms, weaving into Butterfly Style, slightly colorful, and adorable guitar.
Xie Qingyu stroked the strings with a touch of nostalgia. The Sealed Tuning Pegs, Rosewood Fingerboard, Passive Pickup, and Alice Strings —this Butterfly Style Visual Model Electric Guitar was the first instrument she bought when she played in a band at school.
For her, it held a special and extraordinary meaning.
Unfortunately, when I returned home that summer, my Dad had the maid take the Butterfly Guitar and smash it.
And perhaps that's why, when Violet was first born, her subconscious transformed her into the shape of that guitar.
Well, although the Lantern Fairy quickly turned into Little Butterfly in anger and complained every day that playing rock music had made her stupid, she would still turn back into Butterfly Guitar whenever she used her Destined Magic.
Violet is a very gentle and intelligent fairy.
Without it, I might not have made it this far.
Xie Qingyu's pink lips curled up. She became serious, hugging the Electric Guitar made of violets. Her slender fingertips gently plucked the strings, and the rapid, vibrant tones transformed into fluttering butterflies, suddenly unleashing a hurricane that swallowed countless bubbles.
As the bubbles burst in the wind, the sound of the plucked strings spreads infinitely and reappears, as if turning the whole world into a speaker, allowing the magic in the air to slowly burn and expand naturally with incredible vitality.
This rock idol, who once shocked the Chinese Entertainment Industry, once again displayed her superb playing skills in the eyes of the public. She seemed to have forgotten about the search for the Mirror Tree and the Pure White Witch who might appear at any moment. She played her old songs and used complex techniques to show a heavy and radical tone.
"Netherworld Butterfly" echoed in Salzburg and tens of thousands of meters above the ground. The butterflies and bubbles gave the music effects such as distorted and discrepancies in tone, imbuing it with a powerful sense of strength.
Xie Qingyu's demeanor shifted; her reserved emotions were unleashed, and her smile was both flamboyant and adorable. It was as if she had forgotten the fear that had been evoked in her heart, and she was skillfully demonstrating the techniques of sustain, glissando, and vibrato, launching into a passionate performance.
Rock and roll is her second life. During those self-destructive times, it taught her how to release her emotions and made her realize that there was no need to reconcile with the things she hated and disliked.
If you feel unhappy, then play a burning, crazy melody, turning all the despair, sorrow, hesitation, cowardice, and fear into angry tracks, burning them all to ashes!
As a result, more and more black butterflies and bubbles appeared, burning, exploding, and roaring continuously amidst the sound waves, only to reignite again, repeating the cycle endlessly. In just half a minute, they burned the still intact new city district to ruins, turning the old city district into ashes.
As for the sky? It's burning fiercely!
Strangely, despite the massive explosion and burning, the Mirror Tree was not blasted out.
Keep in mind that it was a colossal object hundreds of meters tall, and with the displacement distance just demonstrated by the Spiral Magic Sword, it could theoretically teleport up to a distance of over a hundred kilometers.
This data is even an extremely exaggerated result, because the area where Xie Qingyu was teleported away by the Rainbow Light was exactly ten kilometers.
The Little Idol, seeing the panoramic view of the live stream, couldn't spot the Mirror Tree and started discussing it curiously. In the end, they all concluded that Qing Bao had hidden the Mirror Tree back in Charlotte's personal space.
But in any case, given Chu Yuanqing's previous behavior, she definitely won't hide for long.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the sky.
The vast amount of Rainbow Light, concealed by elemental properties and devoid of color, finally revealed its form amidst the explosion of the butterfly and the burning of the Netherflame.
Xie Qingyu's senses permeated the entire area, and she instantly noticed the anomaly. Without stopping her playing, she smiled expectantly and directed the sound waves from the strings to focus in one direction, as if commanding troops.
In an instant, the Netherflame and butterflies formed a deep purple coffin, engulfing the exposed Rainbow Light. Multiple spells, aided by the domain, spread to her magical power, exploding within it all at once.
Then, the Rainbow Light surged and surged, flowing backward to form a towering ancient tree cast from mercury. Its enormous size burst the coffin, causing butterflies and Netherflame to burst open like fireworks, painting the dome with vibrant colors.
What's most surprising is that...
The Mirror Tree, which was originally several hundred meters tall, has now grown to a thousand meters in size. A long, undulating mercury palace has even been built in front of it, and next to the silver throne on the top floor of the palace is Spiral Magic Sword called Caladbolg.
This colossal energy blade, wreathed in hurricanes and thunder, grew ever larger, its blade intertwined with a beautiful yet dangerous rainbow, composing a melodious tune with the sounds of wind and thunder.
The Pure White Witch sat atop the Palace of Silver and Tin, raising her gilded eyes to gaze at the colossal tide stirred up by butterflies and Netherflame. Her composure was like that of Emperor looking down upon a rebellious subject, patiently listening to the intense and soaring melody of "Netherworld Butterfly."
Chu Yuanqing seemed to traverse through a sea of musical notes, finally seeing Xie Qingyu dozens of kilometers away. Her expression was earnest, tinged with inquiry and contemplation, as she softly said:
"Your fear has lessened because of this rock music? That's very Magical Girl."
"But you shouldn't have sent so much magic; it almost showed me the limits of [Silver Mirror] magic."
Although the [Silver Mirror] was her initial blessing for combat and its potential wasn't very high, the way it was displayed, combined with the greatly enhanced Spiral Magic Sword, was enough to deal with B-Class Calamity Beasts.
In other words, it's enough to fight against Captain-Class [Witch].
"I can't crack your tactics."
"Teacher Dream Weaver once said, acknowledging one's shortcomings is the primary prerequisite for progress."
Xie Qingyu's voice traveled through the domain, and she said frankly:
"Both attacks displayed by the Spiral Sword involved Spatial Teleportation, which means that you, like Charlotte, also possess adaptability to Spacetime Magic."
"The Mercury Tree and the Spiral Sword are both essentially products of magic."
"So, after not finding the Mercury Tree after the domain was expanded, I guessed that you reverted the spell to the form of magic, merging it with the Rainbow Light, and then used it for continuous teleportation."
This is actually a paradox.
Theoretically, if the Spiral Magic Sword is deconstructed into magic power, the Rainbow Light that allows for teleportation should disappear. So how can it merge with the Rainbow Light and maintain the original power of the spell?
There is only one explanation: both the Mercury Tree and the Spiral Magic Sword are entirely their own creations, which is why they can be perfectly integrated and maintain the microscopic basis of the spell even in the form of magic.
To be honest, this is ridiculous.
But after her opponent displayed incredible combat skills, she stopped adhering to her common sense about magic and boldly made her own judgment, thus understanding a reality.
That is, it's very difficult to break through the opponent's magical construct.
