Chapter 410
This unnamed calamity, with its bronze-like luster, is so enormous that only its smiling face is clearly visible, evoking humanity's innate fear of colossal objects.
At this moment, it slowly opened its eyes, and the world that came into view lost its color. Only that grand voice, solemn and compassionate, cleansed the souls, making the swept-up people forget their fear in a daze.
No one, including Xu Youyue, could understand what the Guanyin statue was saying, but the whispers that resonated through the soul carried a mysterious power that ravaged the self, altered emotions, and gradually bleached memories.
This is "refining elixir," just as the emotions of cattle and sheep before death can affect the quality and taste of their meat to some extent. The Guanyin statue regards the various distracting thoughts of sentient beings as filth and seeks to return them to purity, refine the great elixir, and replenish vital energy.
--Guanyin (Guanyin)
This familiar character from the mythology of the Donghuang Federation has been extracted by the swarm and personified into a terrifying being, who has descended upon the world.
Behind it all is the Disaster God – [Tathagata], who, like the Old Testament Amaterasu, [Ymir], possesses characteristics of the local cultural pantheon.
Meanwhile, several extremely weak Supreme Calamity Beast /Apostles were also generating Calamity Qi in their own way in the Sea Capital, replenishing themselves, waiting for the opportunity to participate in the final battle.
It is obvious that the suppression of [Pure White] is still there. These terrifying beings, who at their peak could destroy continental plates and cause global natural disasters, have been suppressed to the point of being as weak as if they had just hatched from an egg.
Otherwise, the aftershocks alone would destroy most of the city, causing extremely horrific casualties.
Just as the tragedy continued and the entire city was about to turn into a hellish landscape, Aetherial Substance from underground, combined with devices installed over many years, emitted a magnificent display of light and heat, engulfing the Sea Capital in dazzling brilliance.
Even if it was only for a fleeting moment, the light enveloped everyone, awakening them from their boundless fear and confusion, allowing them to glimpse the densely packed Virtual Screen covering every corner of the city.
In the picture,
The girl blinked at the camera, her pink lips pouting, still as cute and endearing as ever. Her figure, dazzling under the Magic Armor, possessed an even more gentle divinity than before, captivating and enchanting at first glance.
"Hi everyone, I'm Charlotte. I've been in Sea Capital for so long, but I haven't had a chance to say hello to the locals yet."
Charlotte's words contained neither worry nor anxiety, as if she were on a sunny day, stepping onto the stage to interact with her fans.
And incredibly,
Even though she was in a dangerous situation, as if she could die at any moment, her captivating charm made many people forget their fear for a moment after realizing the reality, as if they were still living in that peaceful era, unable to take their eyes off Charlotte's face.
The girl's eyebrows curved into crescents, her smile warm. She brought her lips close to the "microphone"—the Magic Wand —and gently blew on it, playfully completing the sound check. She continued, "..."
"So, taking this opportunity, let me sing a song for you all."
"Remember when you listen, don't be afraid or worried. No matter when or where, my singing will always meet your expectations."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Charlotte closed her eyes and sang softly.
The melodious tune blossoms from the withering and flourishing of Forget-me-not, and the beautiful and ethereal artistic conception, in the instant the sound is transmitted, is easily amplified infinitely in the peak Idol Power, and the surging Heart Tide, in the form of light, sweep across the Sea Capital.
At this moment, Shine Magic, as deep as the ocean, is imbued with the song, spreading through streets and alleys, parks and schools, lingering between the sky and the earth, bestowing sincere blessings upon everyone.
At this moment, Xu Youyue, who was floating in the air, was surrounded by musical notes. The baptism and interference from Guanyin dissolved in the brilliance of the Doomsday Diva. She and the other buildings, debris and pedestrians fell slowly to the ground as if being dragged by cotton.
Xu Youyue sat on the ground and looked up at the sky.
The Guanyin statue, which filled the field of vision and revealed a compassionate face on the horizon, was frozen by the deep blue radiance. Like a fish drowning in the deep sea, it had just struggled to expel the evil spirits when it was overwhelmed by the dazzling light caused by the singing and was unable to move for a while.
We're saved!
"This is... Magical Girl?"
The girl was deeply shocked, a shock that words could not express, and the passersby around her were in much the same boat.
Perhaps it was because the Guanyin in the sky was so enormous that it gave people a sense of bewilderment, as if running anywhere was useless. So when everyone returned to their original spot, they didn't rush to escape immediately, but instead, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they gazed blankly at the miracle bestowed by Charlotte.
Fortunately, the Super AI that coordinates the entire city is constantly monitoring the city through surveillance, satellites, nano-cameras, and various other means. It immediately took over the broadcast system and reminded everyone to go to safety.
Meanwhile, many gel balls similar to those used at the Public Performance are zipping through the streets and alleys, carrying pedestrians in need of assistance for emergency transport.
Even though such evacuation efficiency is a drop in the ocean compared to the huge population, the ethereal songs lingering in people's ears and the warm, deep blue sky that dispels the disaster and illuminates the world still give people the courage to emerge from their fear.
This positive emotion further deepened everyone's appreciation for Charlotte's singing, making the constraints imposed on the Supreme Calamity Beast even more terrifying, thus creating a positive cycle.
--Shine Magic.
This led humanity to form an alliance, overcoming all opposition, and dedicating all resources, direction, and energy to the key aspects of the <FlashDance> project, using the power to turn the impossible into possible to briefly disrupt the disaster horde's offensive rhythm.
Astrid, having gathered all the information, looked down upon the city like a god, and was not surprised.
Even though the disaster horde's attack this time can be described as a full-scale attack, the chemical reaction that can be generated between a "lighthouse" and nearly a hundred million people in the Sea Capital is not so easy to suppress.
The key lies in...
How much longer can you hold on?
Five minutes, or ten minutes?
Thousand Faces removed his top hat and looked at the sky, which resembled a child's scribbles. The sun, drawn with crayons, was falling along with clouds formed from a few lines and swords formed from rainbows, to wage war against several bishops.
This is Graffiti World created by Fairy Tale Witch, with rules to restrain enemies.
But [Herdi]'s eyes are enough to see through obstacles, perceive and retrieve a wealth of information from the outside world, and constantly deduce infinite possibilities from the split, supporting the swarm to reach the most perfect ending.
Charlotte's song briefly saved the Sea Capital.
This Diva, whose blessing touches upon the end, has found new possibilities in this Worldline, even though she has lost her past powers.
Even in the future that [Herdi] saw, she perfectly exemplified the miracle of Magical Girl, nearly annihilating the Supreme Calamity Beast that had not yet recovered to its full strength.
It's meaningless.
Whether it's an apostle or Supreme Calamity Beast.
The disaster swarm's objective was achieved once they arrived in Sea Capital.
The Fairy Tale Land, at the Public Performance venue.
Pei Xiaotong watched with lingering enjoyment as Little Sakura, Yue Bao, Liuli, and Great Demon King bowed on stage. Even without Chu Yuanqing and with the need to change the song at the last minute, this team, which was the most popular in the Sea Capital division, still did not disappoint its fans.
Xu Ling sighed:
"Yue Bao has made great progress, and she's in excellent form, looking very energetic!"
The little girl savored the moment for a while, then smiled contentedly and excitedly echoed her sentiments:
"Yeah, everyone is so cute. Liuli's singing also seems more mature than before. Is it because she was provoked by Charlotte in Austria?"
At this point, Pei Xiaotong suddenly felt that Liuli was extremely unlucky. If she worked hard because of this reason, wouldn't Qing Bao's unexpected leave make all of the cat's little schemes to compete for attention go to waste?
Xu Ling hadn't considered these things, but she keenly sensed something deeper, and she murmured in confusion:
"Yayoi's stage presence is much more natural now. Why do I have this feeling that she's been secretly performing on several stages behind the fans' backs?"
The little girl complained:
"Don't make things so strange, okay? Even if Little Sakura is from Dongliu, there's no need for her to learn Dongliu culture in this regard."
As she spoke, she glanced at her phone and said curiously:
"Huh? Is the signal so bad in the venue? I sent my mom WeChat message half an hour ago, and it still hasn't gone through."
Pei Xiaotong refreshed the page several times, and after realizing it hadn't been sent yet, she carelessly forgot about this small detail.
Each team has to perform three dance songs in the Third Performance. Little Sakura and her team will be on stage later, so they can't miss a single second, or it would be a huge loss.
Meanwhile, the team that was going to compete against Kiriwake Yayoi and others has already taken to the stage.
Kiriwake Yayoi, Xie Qingxuan, Chu Wangshu, and Tang Liuli took this time to go to the dressing room to change into stage outfits for another dance song. It was expected that after they finished changing, their performance on stage would end, allowing them to seamlessly continue on stage.
Meanwhile, in the depths concealed by multiple spells,
Chu Yuanqing sat on the sofa, a smile playing on her delicate and pretty face, her pink lips curving into a cute arc, as if she were pleased with her teammates' performance on stage.
But then the next stage begins.
The Pure White Witch lowered her eyes, the gilded light in her pupils dimmed and became unfocused, appearing empty and bewildered. The curve of her lips flattened, her mind filled with images of her daughter and comrades performing on stage.
The Little Idol all danced very well. Their singing, rhythm, movements, teamwork, coordination, emotions, and stage presence all perfectly presented the best performance for their fans.
It's hard to imagine that this is the result of their 10 days of intensive practice.
But...
No emotion.
The joy of being a father, the happiness of being a teammate, and the feelings of being an observer were all absent. Thoughts became sticky, chaotic, and twisted, and emotions were like a faded canvas, soaked in the rain.
Chu Yuanqing was like a rusty machine, a puppet that needed to be wound up to "live." Her physical condition seemed to have improved a little, but her internal problems were becoming more and more serious.
Right now, my mind is filled with nothing but chaos and the rational thought of "I should do this."
Even though she was on the verge of becoming abnormal, she still subconsciously wanted to pretend to be normal, not wanting to worry the people around her.
Chu Yuanqing pondered over and over what kind of expression her daughter would expect from her, what kind of words she would expect, what kind of emotions she would express, and what kind of encouragement she would give.
What kind of things will Liuli say? Will she act cute? Will she secretly ask for a kiss? When she hugs me, should I pat her head or hold her tighter?
When Yayoi visit, will she anxiously press her forehead against hers, or will she, like a child, tuck origami cranes into her bosom, innocently hoping for a kiss on her cheek? How should she respond?
Will Xiao Xuan continue to awkwardly comfort herself? Or will she gaze at her with innocent eyes, kiss her lips without thinking, and give all her magic, like a puppy cuddling its owner, yearning for warmth and love?
What should I do now to be on the right track so as not to upset everyone?
The Pure White Witch diligently pondered, sketched, and perfected the image of [Chu Yuanqing] in her heart. She stared blankly, continuously rehearsing in her mind, as if she were implanting a program into herself, striving to protect her fragile happiness.
Time passed, and the endless rehearsals came to an abrupt end amidst the lively cheers in the broadcast video.
Chu Yuanqing raised her eyes and looked at the Little Idol who had taken to the stage again. She hesitated for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly.
Volume 1: Chapter 384. Xiao Shu, do you want to save Dad?
On stage.
Chu Wangshu was in excellent condition. As she turned around, her skirt fluttered, and she glanced back at the audience. The light pink accents at the corners of her eyes exuded an alluring charm.
The girl's dance steps were crisp and swift, displaying a coordinated grace in the undulating melody, and her delicate movements also exuded a youthful and lively charm.
The initial [Flow State] – [Radiant Tide] – after awakening the [Child of Man], transformed into a radiant golden ocean, connecting the steps of every teammate and providing a more distinct and powerful boost.
This is an excellent performance. Whether it is Xie Qingxuan, who has the domineering power of Demon King Kiriwake Yayoi, who polishes every detail with passion and amazing obsession, striving to push the stage to perfection, or Tang Liuli, whose singing skills are becoming more and more mature and who gives life to the music, they all transcend the limits of the dance music itself in the intertwined [Flow State].
Rather than saying this group is performing dance music, it's more accurate to say they are.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that they are using this medium to unleash their own charm and push it to its extreme, using this dazzling brilliance to attract the audience's attention and resonate with them to the greatest extent possible.
The audience below the stage, the judges who gradually faded into the background, the Dream Weaver Rabbit served as the mascot, and the other Little Idol in the Waiting Room all seemed to be breathing in unison with the people on stage as the stage gradually rose to its climax, entering the same rhythm.
Finally, both on and off stage, the ever-growing roar, the dazzling lights, the emotions, and the powerful energy propelled the audience to witness the final note fade away. As the emotions slowly dissipated, watching the performance come to an end, they were left with a lingering sense of reflection, unable to pull themselves away for a long time.
For Shine Magic, idols and the stage are the best soil and foundation. Witnessing a stage created by four [Flower Bloom] level Witch with all their might is an immense fortune in every sense.
This is not only an emotional enjoyment, but also a spiritual baptism, which is also very beneficial to physical health. It can even bring the audience a radiant buff for several months, which can slightly resist the erosion of disaster. It can be said to be priceless in the literal sense.
Although ordinary fans like Xu Ling and Pei Xiaotong couldn't guess all the specific details, viewers still felt positive changes in their mental and physical well-being after experiencing it firsthand, and were deeply moved.
Alright, now there's no need to doubt whether Qing Bao's teammates are Magical Girl.
This extraordinary charisma and surreal effect, once the magic was revealed, can no longer be explained by mere Idol Power.
The 30,000 people at the Public Performance, regardless of whether they were fans of the Little Idol on stage, were all deeply impressed by the performance and gave it the highest respect and applause. Naturally, the fans' reactions were even more exaggerated after they put on their filters.
"Waaaaah, Yue Bao is so amazing!"
"Little Sakura, Mommy loves you!"
"I'm so touched. Xuan Bao's relationship with her teammates is getting better and better. I've never seen her have such a harmonious feeling with her teammates when she's on stage. The team spirit is burning!"
"Oh no, I can't help but ship the whole group's characters together now."
"Is this the last one? Can we have one more?"
Chu Wangshu's lovely face was flushed, and her bright eyes looked at the audience below the stage. Her breathing was rapid, and beads of sweat flowed down her delicate neck in the hot temperature, her chest rising and falling with the heat.
Even though her body is no longer what it used to be after becoming Magical Girl, releasing Shine Magic and using the [Flow State] stage at high intensity consumes magic power and emotions, making her feel tired just like when she was a regular idol.
The little girl is already feeling dizzy, even though she has toured with everyone in Ideal Kingdom many times and even faced a large audience.
Facing a large number of fans who truly support you in Third Performance will bring many different experiences, including different mindsets, levels of nervousness, and practical significance.
"It's a success."
"They really did it!"
