Chapter 409
Or, she might give birth to an even bigger "glutton" and devour Beelzebub!
Xie Qingxuan's eyes turned crimson. She looked up at the massive monster in the sky, which resembled a fortress, and silently chewed on a violet petal. Using Electric Guitar made of Little Butterfly, she began to play.
The melody of this piece is chaotic, noisy, and fragmented, but it quickly becomes complete through the plucking of the fingers, expressing anger, sorrow, and loneliness, tending towards a rock style.
Unlike his previous performances of "Netherworld Butterfly,"
This unfinished melody is also an unformed spell. It seems to be a miracle that gradually responds to the Magical Girl's heart. In the increasingly intense and lonely anger, it chews on the power originating from Beelzebub, transforming into the strings of a turbulent sea of clouds, burning with madness.
Beelzebub had already realized something was wrong. It wanted to reclaim its scattered authority, but it sensed that it and the Witch had formed an illusory chain of concepts. To retrieve those baits, it had to devour the witch.
Deep within the soul, violets shimmer, and new spell patterns are etched and spread across the branches, outlining a true name recognized by the stars.
--[Nemesis of Love].
The music and notes played by Xie Qingyu transformed into an endless chain of revenge, piercing through each other's flesh and blood. Seemingly oblivious to the pain, she looked up at the Beast of Love, its flesh and blood scattering high in the sky, smiled, wiped the nectar from her lips, and whispered:
"I'll devour you with my rock and roll."
Volume 1: Chapter 382. Chu Yuanqing, can you save your daughter?
High in the sky, like a fortress of Meat Mountain, the gluttonous demon, which blots out the sky, is pierced and bound by illusory chains that reach straight to the heavens. Its scarlet blood falls into the sky and dissolves into the undulating butterfly notes around it, turning into nourishment to support the spell.
Beelzebub seemed oblivious to pain; his swampy, viscous flesh writhed, from which surged countless maggots like waves. Countless eggshells were born and broke free, transforming into buzzing flies, trying to escape this symphony of revenge.
No matter what methods she used—gluttony to create clones, destroy her hearing, break through authority, or even more—she couldn't escape Xie Qingyu's magic.
From this moment forward, Beelzebub's power and authority can only be applied to Xie Qingyu alone. Before truly devouring this vengeful Witch, it cannot feast on anyone else or initiate the "Holy Communion."
--[Nemesis of Love].
This is a truly Conceptual Level of revenge magic.
Effect 1: Absolute Binding. Regardless of strength, before the first repetition of <Nemesis of Love> is finished, the opponent will be bound by the Revenge Chains and will be in the same fate as Xie Qingyu.
Effect 2: Mark of Vengeance. The stronger the hatred and anger, the more severe, terrifying, and brutal the binding conditions become, potentially leading to instant death.
Effect 3: Gluttony Symphony, devours the flesh and blood of enemies with the chains of vengeance, converting it into one's own Magic Power Limit, which can break through the original [Full Activation] limit, and can also be transformed into a new Destined Magic when the conditions are met.
Charlotte felt a pang of emotion.
Xie Qingyu's years of gloom, anger, fear, sorrow, unwillingness to lose Violet, and the courage that truly burned after facing the other party together forged this revenge magic that transcended the limits of the past.
This is a miracle belonging to Magical Girl, and a pillar in the fight against [disaster swarms] in the New Era.
At this moment,
The Beast of Love felt neither fear nor anger; upon sensing the threat, it couldn't help but burst into joyful laughter.
How interesting, and how fortunate!
After the Savior changed the world, the Magical Girl who bestowed the blessing displayed a power that interested the disaster-stricken people even more.
"Xie Qingyu, you deserve to be eaten by the disaster swarm."
Beelzebub murmured and chuckled as he stirred the Source, prying open the power of Gluttony, and bathed in the glory of the Disaster God, amidst the overwhelming turmoil of the crimson Sea of Blood, recreated the complete form of the apostle.
What good are the many constraints imposed by magic? It's still a newly conceived conceptual ability. To grow to the point of devouring the authority bestowed by the master, it must still undergo the fairest battle.
Only the victor can win everything!
Iris looked worriedly at the scene where the vengeful melody and the gluttonous Sea of Blood intertwined. Xie Qingyu's magic swept around, with butterfly notes, blue rose petals, and violet-woven thorn chains creating a surreal and bizarre scene.
The current spectacle is now visible throughout almost the entire Sea Capital. The fact that these treacherous and disastrous invaders have already become an undeniable and terrifying event. Leaving aside the extent of the panic they will cause, the more pressing issue is whether they can protect these people.
The Super AI Dream Weaver has now coordinated the entire city, quickly arranging for citizens to enter the giant shelter linked to the [FlashDance] base through various channels.
This marvel of civilization, forged from nanomaterials and ether technology, has become the last ark of the Sea Capital. If all else fails, it will use the Aetherial Substance accumulated over the years to initiate a directional teleportation, taking the entire underground city to the safest coordinates.
But...
"It's too late."
Iris's Magic Domain covered the entire Sea Capital. Through her dragon intuition, she could sense that even more terrifying and powerful enemies were approaching this bustling, top-tier metropolis. She and Dorothea could hold off two of them, or at least three or four.
However, there's no way she could withstand the arrival of four Supreme Calamity Beast like Charlotte. That's an ability only a [Beacon] qualified to reach [Klein] possesses. Even without [Full Bloom], she's still a pillar of the Countermeasures Bureau.
Therefore, she and Dorothea could only protect the Public Performance venue by moving around, but they had no energy left to protect the rest of the crowd or create much time for evacuation.
Moreover, the underground base can accommodate nearly ten million people, Sea Capital has nearly one hundred million. Even if the delay is long enough, it will inevitably result in the sacrifice of most of them.
"Dream Weaver Teacher, do we really have to give up on Sea Capital?"
A woman with silver hair and red eyes appeared like a ghost. She looked up at the battlefield and said softly:
"If possible, no one would want to come to this point, but Iris, if [Pure White] collapses prematurely, such calamity will be completely unrestrained, and the entire human civilization, and even this planet, will be in imminent danger."
Iris pursed her lips and remained silent. She adjusted her Magic Armor, tightened her small cloak, stuffed the candy Charlotte had given her into her mouth, picked up the exquisite pocket watch on her chest, opened it, glanced at the photo pasted on the cover, and said softly:
"Iris is just a child, she doesn't understand the big picture. All Iris knows is that many of those who were sacrificed, like Iris, haven't experienced many things and don't yet understand many principles."
"Among them are adults who are just as good as your Dad. There's no reason for them to suffer such misfortune, and they shouldn't die for no reason."
"Sister Chu wouldn't want to see such a tragedy happen either."
The girl's deep gray eyes were tinged with starlight, swirling into vertical pupils belonging to dragons. Her heart pounded like a furnace with each breath, pumping out blood as hot as magma, and her skin was covered with mimicking magical scales.
At this moment, the favor of the Elemental Dragon King and the characteristics of many dragons elevated the life force, activated the magical properties, and caused the soul to roar, displaying the power and authority of the ancient dragons, transforming into... the Dragon Witch!
Iris turned to look at Astrid's phantom image and smiled, saying:
"But I also know that Teacher Dream Weaver is right, so Iris will try her best to save everyone in her own way."
The words had faded.
The Dragon Witch soars through the sky, transforming into a magnificent and dreamlike sacred dragon. Her graceful body is covered with scales that change color with the refraction of light, like a guardian straight out of a fairy tale. With each flap of her wings, she rides the gale and the flames, facing powerful enemies head-on.
That was an apostle under [Nargal], and like the other Disaster God, He used his trump card left in the mortal world, sending Natus, the lord who controls plagues.
Dorothea was somewhat anxious. She had to protect the Public Performance venue and couldn't leave the vicinity at will, so she couldn't accompany Iris to fight the enemy.
The little girl's iridescent eyes were filled with worry. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She paced back and forth restlessly, her peach-colored pigtails swaying back and forth, almost spinning in circles.
It's important to know that the culprit behind Iris's sacrifice of the Lantern Fairy and subsequent degeneration after using [Great Full Bloom] was none other than [Nargal's ] riot.
She has only recently recovered from her injuries and has lost the Lantern Fairy, the apostle who carries part of [Nargal's ] authority. This might force her to [Great Full Bloom] again, or even [Sange].
Iris was her best friend, yet she could only watch as Iris fought alone.
Dorothea was a little sad. [Lonely Fairy Tale] are a power born from tragedy, and she never wanted to lose her friends again.
This mood also affected the Lantern Fairy, causing the red-covered Fairy Tale Book to fly around the room before finally falling to the sofa with a thud, pretending to be dead.
The girl's cheerful and lively face fell, and only when she sensed something amiss did she pick up the Lantern Fairy — the Fairy Tale Book —and unhappily walk through the buildings, looking at the invading enemy.
Under Tianpu Bridge
Thousand Faces looked up at the sky, adjusting the collar of his suit jacket with his left hand and elegantly holding up a black umbrella with his right. He hadn't changed much; his 1.8-meter frame showed signs of training, and his clothes, watch, and shoes were all quite exquisite, making him look like a wealthy and leisurely nobleman.
The head that was originally wearing a mask has transformed into a terrifying yet comical, slowly rotating Thousand Faces. The cold numbers reveal no emotion, and the top hat on its head looks particularly eerie, as if it is well-versed in the theory of the uncanny valley.
That night's accident took away all his Persona Mask. The reason he was able to make a comeback was because [Herdi] was suppressed even more severely by [Pure White], unlike the other Disaster God, he could not release his apostles or Supreme Calamity Beast.
In this situation, the members of the [Herdi] sect were all killed as expendable material by the Archbishop Thousand Faces, making him the only useful spokesperson under [Herdi].
Thus, Thousand Faces not only got his initial investment back after his boss increased the bet, but also multiplied it dozens of times, gaining more power and authority. It was a textbook example of a gambler turning his life around.
But at this moment,
The bishop, however, seemed uninterested. He listlessly opened his umbrella, and salt grains, like hailstones, fell and pattered down from under the bridge, splashing onto the street in front of his shoes, spreading out a pure white patch of paint.
Chloe, dressed in a white robe, floated in mid-air. Snowflakes fell through her pure white pupils. Her face, torso, and limbs were sometimes normal, and sometimes twisted into pure white cubes like a mosaic, like an alien monster.
The authority of the [King of Salt] is absolute and pure; no soul or flesh can sustain it for long. This vessel named Chloe will eventually become completely obsolete; it is defined as a purely consumable item.
The Thousand Faces, holding an umbrella, looked at the Archbishop who worshipped the [King of Salt]. He saw the archbishop sacrificing his entire fate for the Disaster God. Calmly gazing at the two-dimensional graffiti collapsing in the distance, he sighed:
"Fairy Tale Witch"
I really hope you can surprise me.
Otherwise, if everything went as they wished, joy would be lost in nothingness and destruction, utterly devoid of any pleasure.
Unfortunately, fate is something we cannot defy.
The Savior who once intervened in infinite possibilities and unified the world will ultimately die in scheming and conspiracy, his last embers Burn Ash, returning to silence in the moment of his brilliance.
As soon as the words were spoken, bishops from other sects took the lead in attacking, including those from the conceptual side, shattering the future that had been captured by the Fairy Tale Land and thus broken apart.
Magical Girl can create miracles, and the more powerful they are, the more so.
So,
Thousand Faces stood here, used as a puppet by [Herdi]. Apart from the thoughts hidden within the memes, the only purpose of this body was to use [Herdi's ] power to predict the future of the battlefield.
At this moment, the nine characteristics, magical properties, Destined Magic, various spells, personality flaws, and even countless useful and useless pieces of information of the Fairy Tale Witch were shared with the seven bishops present in the branching future paths.
Furthermore, Thousand Faces saw the Fairy Tale Witch making further progress on the battlefield, advancing to the [Sea] Realm, fully unleashing her potential, and following a future path comparable to that of the Doomsday Diva in the heavens.
However, as long as those elements are avoided, Dorothea remains a caged bird.
After eliminating 19 possibilities of total annihilation,
For the seven bishops present, killing her was merely a matter of time.
Thousand Faces really wanted to help, but his free will could not interfere with the authority granted by [Herdi].
Then,
The Archbishop could only extend a finger, striking a villainous mocking pose, and sneered:
"Dorothea, let me tell you some good news."
"Within ten minutes, the Dragon Witch will activate [Great Full Bloom], and fifteen minutes later, she will decide to [Sange]. Three seconds after that, she will perish together with Natus."
"In other words, if you can't kill us all by then, your best friend will die, so... give it your all and let's see the limits of Magical Girl."
The next second, the future twists and changes before our eyes once more, only to wriggle back to the only possible ending in an instant.
With Thousand Faces still not satisfied, they looked with some regret at the dazzling display that had overwhelmed their vision.
It's such a pity. She was already dazzling enough, but ultimately, she didn't have time to grow and bloom. Without that towering tree that protected the Magical Girl, endless possibilities will still collapse and converge, heading towards the end.
But for some inexplicable reason, he still harbored a subtle expectation in his heart, as if he had a premonition that there was still a variable that could change the outcome, and he couldn't help but feel a gambler's respect for it.
Chu Yuanqing, can you... prevent the birth of a new god?
On the border of Sea Capital, a massive triceratops, as large as a mountain, devours the sea of clouds and mountains, treads on the bustling streets, and pushes and shoves skyscrapers like building blocks, patiently picking out its prey, and walks toward the Public Performance area.
[Tiamat], originating from the Babylonian mythological creator goddess, and just like in the myth, this Disaster God also has eleven demonic beasts under her command.
The Supreme Calamity Beast currently in existence is one of them, named Ushumgallu. It is weaker than the World Giant Serpent, the Seraphim, Beelzebub, and must first absorb nourishment to generate more calamity energy before it can go to the battlefield.
At this very moment, similar cases are unfolding throughout Sea Capital, shattering years of peace in an extremely cruel and brutal manner, tearing away the illusion in an instant, and unleashing a storm of bloodshed.
The Doomsday Diva, monitoring these scenes through the Super AI, took a deep breath, her radiant eyes filled with unwavering resolve. Her pink lips curved into a confident and adorable smile as she softly spoke:
"Xiao Meng, help me broadcast live from the entire Sea Capital."
"Let the Disaster God see what they have never seen before in this new world."
Volume 1: Chapter 383. Shine Magic, I am [Chu Yuanqing].
Sea Capital, Nanjing East Road.
This pedestrian street, a blend of historical charm and still retaining some of the architecture from the last century, is now being swept away by a hurricane that strips everything of its former glory. Tens of thousands of pedestrians are being swept away like dust, screaming as they are swept into the sky.
The milk tea slipped from Xu Youyue's hand and fell to the ground. The puff-sleeved skirt fluttered and swirled. She felt a sudden dizziness, a strong centrifugal force and a sense of weightlessness. She clutched her heart, her vision was obscured by her dancing hair, and the roar of the wind mixed with noise filled her ears.
One second she was leisurely strolling through the streets, chatting with her friends about the movie that had just opened.
The next second, chairs, shopping kiosks, information booths, billboards, sculptures, streetlights, trash cans, phone booths, and even pedestrians were all swept and ravaged by the raging storm as the sky darkened in an instant, rushing towards the sky like a torrential downpour flowing against the current.
Natural disaster? Hurricane? Magic? Or Calamity Beasts?
At this moment, countless thoughts swirled in my mind, yet they all froze into a blank in the fear of death, as if countless lines were intersecting wildly, drawing a chaotic and disordered picture.
Before today, no one expected the Calamity Beasts to arrive so quickly. So quickly that most people hadn't even finished processing the official announcements. So quickly that many people still saw Magical Girl as a publicity stunt. So quickly... that people thought this peaceful life would continue for a long time.
Am I... going to die?
The wind ripped the hair from Xu Youyue's face, and her body spun uncontrollably. In that split second, a colossal object, beyond the limits of her brain's capacity, came into view.
It was actually a Guanyin statue, but unlike the one described in mythology, it did not radiate purple light or display auspicious signs, nor did it possess the compassion of being bathed in holy dew. Instead, it exuded terror.
