Dad, Please Let Me Be Your One-Pick!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the two major competition zones of Donghuang and Shengdi, most teams have advanced and started to accept missions from the Countermeasures Bureau to earn points.

Although both lists display a number that is absolutely unsurpassable and so insurmountable that it leaves no room for defeat, this does not prevent them from competing with the other teams.

The online live-streamed finals were actually the Stage Battle of the third round of the competition. A host of bizarre and cool "Flow State" special effects, combined with Dream Weaver Rabbit's live commentary, kept the audience watching with great interest.

This deliberate attempt to create a dramatic effect transformed a seemingly predictable final into a fiercely competitive and intense spectacle.

After all, compared to a straightforward, uninteresting speedrun of the Demon King, a story with back-and-forth battles, suspense, and thrilling action is more likely to resonate with the public and evoke stronger emotions.

As a result, even the other side, whose tone was set too high and who was regarded as the uncrowned Doomsday Diva who was bound to win, was successfully portrayed as a group of terrifying opponents that could not be underestimated through editing and public opinion.

"Magic is magic, and the stage is the stage; the two cannot be equated." "My [Flow State] state has surpassed its limits, witnessing unparalleled brilliance." "Charlotte? One person against five? Overestimating yourself." "Bones in a tomb, nothing to fear." "You are the challenger..."

This series of memes created by netizens quickly went viral.

Ultimately, Flash Dance's repeated shouts of "We will win!" gave hope and anticipation to many fans, making them feel that Charlotte might not have a sure thing, thus making the final even more exciting.

Whether it's true or not, the audience's emotions have certainly been greatly stirred.

As for the Donghuang Competition Zone, although Pure White's strength has never been underestimated, on the one hand, there was no one watching the competition live, so no one could truly experience the offline impact of the teams and it was difficult to judge the real gap in strength.

On the other hand, the [Flow State] effects of the four of them were rather simple and unadorned, which made the other [Flow State] effects, which were particularly flashy, appear too powerful in the live stream.

Therefore, without any special marketing, the people of the Donghuang Federation did not consider Pure White to be a team that could consistently win the championship.

And so, amidst the intense anticipation and the uncertainty of who the dark horse would be, the decisive day for the two major competition zones finally arrived!

Volume 1: 426. World-Class Spell Begins.

September 28th, 1:37 PM.

Donghuang Federation, Great Xia Nation.

Today, in the skies of first- and second-tier cities, including Sea Capital, Capital, Hangzhou, and even rural areas, holographic projections are playing live footage of the Flash Dance finals.

After a week of watching the competition, many people who were unfamiliar with the stage, idols, and Magical Girl have been actively promoting knowledge about them and, out of a sense of national pride, have taken the initiative to gain a deeper understanding and immerse themselves in the stories. This has led to a further expansion of the national popularity and recognition of the three Great Xia girl groups competing in the Donghuang Competition Zone.

Currently, Pure White's total online fanbase has skyrocketed from 700-800 million during the tour to 3.79 billion. This staggering number is enough to cover the total population of dozens of small countries in the Donghuang Federation.

On the other hand, the other Little Idol who didn't make it to the national war stage suspended their Idol Activities to avoid diverting popularity. They spent a week in the Countermeasures Bureau practicing Simulation Battlefield, officially starting their internships and becoming active in various cities across the country, and their fan base continued to grow rapidly.

The most intense phase has now ended, and the whole world is waiting for Dream Weaver Rabbit to announce the final results of the two competitions.

In the final round, the team facing off against Pure White from the Donghuang Competition Zone was the Magical Girl team Bliss, led by Bi Xuansu.

This final match was actually quite special in the eyes of the people of Great Xia.

Because Bi Xuansu was a pure Great Xia person, she didn't even change her nationality. She was just studying in Jialan Kingdom and participated in <Flash Dance> in a daze.

This situation is similar to that of Kiriwake Yayoi in some ways.

The difference is that Kiriwake Yayoi was eliminated by the Tokyo Region's "Flash Dance," which puts the East Flow Island in an awkward position. Their top idol, Hoshino Ayano, failed to advance to the finals, and their team is ranked 9th in the Donghuang Competition Zone.

However, Kiriwake Yayoi, who was rejected by the Tokyo Region, has blossomed in the Great Xia region. She has shown great composure on every stage and has been winning steadily all the way. Her nickname has almost evolved from "the Cherry Blossom Blessed by Gods" to "the invincible cherry blossom".

From a different perspective, in the eyes of the Great Xia Nation, Bi Xuansu is purely one of their own, and Bliss is also considered half a national team. Therefore, from the perspective of many citizens, the first and second place in the Donghuang Competition Zone is, to some extent, an internal battle within the Great Xia Kingdom.

In other words,

Bliss won, won once.

Pure White won, which means they won twice.

If you calculate it this way, you can totally pop the champagne early—you've won way too much!

In the live broadcast,

The Dream Weaver Rabbit looked back and forth at the people on both sides of the stage. The sharp sarcasm and humorous meanness were gone from its scarlet eyes, leaving only expectation and relief.

This mascot, which evokes both love and hate, suddenly revealed a gentle side befitting its image. It laughed as it removed its top hat and tossed it into the air, where the hat danced between the two stages.

Finally, it wobbled and crashed onto the head of a Green Eyed Cat, from which hundreds of white doves suddenly flew out, countless rays of light and ribbons surged backward, golden champagne with bubbles swept in, and many dreamy and dazzling bubbles surrounded everyone and floated upward.

The next second, frames of images appeared.

Xie Qingxuan ignored the gazes of the other contestants with an air of dominance and indifference, like an unquestionable Demon King. He calmly walked to the top and sat on the throne in the Center position, his gaze sweeping over them.

Chu Wangshu stretched her limbs on the stage, her beautiful body lines creating an enduring picture in the interplay of light and shadow. At that time, she was young and innocent, her eyes clear as a spring, nervous yet excited, making her exceptionally adorable.

Kiriwake Yayoi stands in a station surrounded by glass walls and the bustling crowds. Alone, she carries a heavy suitcase and is bathed in the soft glow of dusk. Despite her solitary presence, she radiates a vitality as vibrant as springtime.

This scene lingered for ten breaths.

During the process, countless images of her overlapped on it as ghostly shadows.

It includes the joy of debuting for the first time as a child, the relentless training day and night in the practice room, the cautiousness of appearing on unknown variety shows, the tears while recovering from a broken bone, the confusion of the group disbanding, and the sorrow of being eliminated from the audition for <Flash Dance>...

Finally, the scene returns to her stubborn figure in front of the station, preparing to go to the Great Xia, getting up again to rekindle her dream.

Back to reality, she now stands on a stage under the spotlight, basking in the gaze of billions and cheers from all over the world, softly recounting, "The light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains."

Tang Liuli tilted her head back, and in the myriad of lights and shadows, she saw one of her own works after another. Those versions of herself, playing different roles, stood one by one in the afterglow of the past, piecing together a complete childhood in a daze, and also forming the road she had come from.

It's strange. She used to hate acting the most, but in the "flashback" woven by the other person, it seemed as if she was embracing and making peace with her younger self, her gradually growing self, and her self frozen in that moment.

"Tang Liuli, you can be yourself now."

These words suddenly popped into my head, like a thunderclap.

Those things weighing on my heart, those things I hadn't fully let go of, were blown away like a sudden gust of wind, leaving only a kind of bright joy.

The girl held the illusory, gradually crumbling top hat in her hands. She looked at the dazzling brilliance that had slipped through her fingers like quicksand. Her emerald eyes sparkled, and her pink lips curled up into a radiant smile for her teammates, her fans, and herself.

Dream Weaver Rabbit looked at the magnificent crown that gradually appeared above the stage and said softly:

"The champion of the Donghuang Competition Zone is Pure White."

With those words spoken, the seven-day live stream finally came to an end.

This declaration, like hot oil being poured into a pot, unleashed a barrage of comments, spamming "pure white," along with the names of Tang Liuli, Xie Qingxuan, Chu Wangshu, and Kiriwake Yayoi, filling the screen with red ribbons and cheers.

"They won! Pure White won???"

"Everyone worked so hard! Let's come back quickly and have a celebration party!"

"Yay! Little Sakura has brought glory to the country! Hmm, doesn't that sound a little strange?"

"I don't care, Little Sakura already belongs to Great Xia, we have to NTR Dongliu hard!"

"Liuli's smile is so cute, I want to kiss her!"

"Xuan Bao is still so cool, I love it."

"Great, great, great! Pure White has overcome all obstacles! She's an idol among idols! A woman among women!!!"

"Next comes the real battle! Everyone who has evolved into a global idol, use the stage to save the world!"

"When the entire Eastern Empire can hear the song of Pure White, the true sun will rise, and its unparalleled brilliance will sweep across the heavens and earth like a torrent, leaving the filthy scourge nowhere to hide and causing it to vanish. This is... the Flash Gate???"

At that moment, amidst cheers from people around the world, the live broadcast slowly went out, allowing the celebrations to continue to unfold and spread.

Conversely, with the final piece of the puzzle in place, from the moment the winner was decided and the live broadcast ended, the prelude to world-class magic had already begun.

The silent, subtle drumbeats, originating from countless Obsidian Base across the land, began to spread, like a giant water film, slowly enveloping the entire planet and gradually seeping into deeper dimensions, carrying out preliminary processes.

This process is not replicable. It consumes the Aetherial Substance that all of humanity has accumulated bit by bit over 17 years, and it is also the shining energy originating from the Human Radiance that has been collected since the show "Flashdance".

Therefore, failure means utter ruin.

At this moment, in the heart of the stage capital.

Bi Xuansu and her teammates, undeterred by defeat, exchanged glances and revealed helpless yet endearing smiles.

Despite giving their all, long before this match, as idols and Magical Girl alike, they had already figured out each other's differences.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the leaderboards, Pure White's list is truly astonishing, with a dense array of task records; the two are simply not on the same level.

The girl tossed her bob hair back, looked at Pure White on the opposite stage, smiled, and softly congratulated them:

Congratulations on winning the championship! Keep up the good work on the stages to come!

After saying that, Bi Xuansu waved her hand without waiting for their reply, and boarded the bus with her teammates to head straight to the place arranged by <Flash Dance>, preparing to step onto the more important stage tomorrow.

Not long after, with the takeoff of a plane, only the Pure White team remained in this stage city.

The girl groups that came to participate in the competition have been dispatched to various parts of the world in an orderly manner after their specific rankings were determined, and they are quite busy.

Tang Liuli stepped off the stage and floated down to a vending machine beside her. Gazing at the slowly setting sun in the distance, she murmured with a touch of melancholy:

"Tomorrow's performance will be the most significant and important one in our Idol Career, right?"

Xie Qingxuan took a can of iced cola from the vending machine, handed it to the Liuli Cat Cat next to her, and calmly replied:

"Just give it your all."

Although she was unaware of the existence of [The Lighthouse] and the core secret of this World-Class Spell, from her perspective, there was no other Magical Girl group in the world more suitable to shoulder this responsibility than Pure White.

--All members are at full strength.

--All members have entered the [Sea] realm of magical power.

--The relationships, emotions, and tacit understanding among all members are comparable to those of comrades who have gone through life and death together.

With these three conditions combined, even if the Countermeasures Bureau centered around Charlotte, they couldn't come up with a second team.

It can be said that the existence of Pure White has far exceeded Dream Weaver Rabbit's initial budget. Their appearance is like a miracle that is the last burst of human civilization. The growth rate of each of them breaks common sense, exceeds historical records, and is incredibly fast.

Even with the addition of the six months spent in Ideal Country, looking back at the growth history of these four Little Idol, one can still feel a sense of disharmony, as if the events had been fast-forwarded.

It's as if a crucial piece of the puzzle is missing during their evolution, making them seem like a piece of code full of errors and blanks that inexplicably runs.

But now, Astrid has no time to analyze these unfounded rumors.

Pure White is undoubtedly the most qualified Magical Girl idol from the Donghuang Federation to take the stage, and no one can replace her.

As long as that's correct, that's enough.

Kiriwake Yayoi took a selfie with everyone. Looking at the sun that hadn't completely set in the distance, her cherry-pink eyes shone brightly. She smiled encouragingly and said:

"It's okay. No matter if it's the most important show or not, as long as it's on stage, we've never slacked off. We've always given 100%, even 200%, of our effort, haven't we?"

"So, Liuli, don't be nervous. This is no different from a regular tour for us."

Chu Wangshu took a deep breath, her eyes burning with an increasingly strong sense of conviction.

Although that person, like the sunflower toy, was forgotten in some corner.

But something remained in her heart, urging her to make urgent progress and subconsciously wanting to do everything in her power to protect the world and erase all traces of the disaster.

That Savior's afterglow flickers deep within my soul, never extinguished.

The young girl energetically took three cans of soda water from the vending machine and handed them to Kiriwake Yayoi and Xie Qingxuan next to her. She then pulled everyone together to clink glasses in the twilight, smiling broadly as she said:

"I want to give it my all! Sister Xie, Sister Yayoi, Sister Liuli, let's cheer each other on and present an even better stage for the world than ever before!"

"That's ambitious." Xie Qingxuan's usually cold and aloof expression softened, and he responded with a smile.

"Yes, let's work hard together!" Kiriwake Yayoi's naturally drooping eyes were dispelled by her smile, her innate melancholy vanished, and she gave a sunny and positive reply.

"Absolutely no problem!" Tang Liuli almost choked on the carbonated bubbles in her mouth. She suppressed the urge to cough, quickly clinked glasses with Tang Liuli, and tried her best to appear mature as a senior, saying confidently.

Chu Wangshu looked at everyone, then, with a youthful and adorable smile, raised a toast to the sun while drinking tasteless soda water.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, letting the breeze carry expectations for the future. Perhaps in that instant when bubbles rise and fall, and light shines, everyone felt in their hearts that the world would be a better place after tomorrow.

The Stage to Save the World.

This wish, like a beautiful dream, has captivated and bound millions of people.

But... can it really succeed?

Neither Astrid nor the Human Council could answer this question.

The following day, at the geographical center of the Donghuang Federation plate, countless dazzling and magnificent lights rushed in from all over the world, like a torrential downpour, each drop transforming into a tangible Sky Stage, awaiting the arrival of Pure White.

Despite the different time zones, at the same time, a magnificent Sky Stage was created in the sky above the center of the Holy United States at the same time, with illusory brilliance.

On the same day, enveloped in silvery magic, an Orca resisted the increasingly frigid temperatures, traversing layers of sea, breaking through the sky to reach the edge of a world where heaven, earth, and sea were all crimson, like a fairyland.

Volume 1: Taking a week off to finish the final chapter.

I've been writing in this sleep-wake cycle every day, and I don't want to write the last few chapters in this state. I might as well take a week off and finish writing them all at once and publish them???

Are you all getting ready to say goodbye to the young widow?! Oh, and by the way, spoiler alert: it's a happy ending.
