Chapter 409
What followed was an even more complete destruction.
Now, throughout the entire "World Apart" city, there are mutated Flower Monster that breed and spawn Monster. They originally gathered and intertwined into giant, tentacle-like, clawing vines, but now, locked-on light spots appear on their bodies.
Without a doubt, it was those flower-shaped floating cannons.
"-----Bang!"
The next moment, from the mobile fortress in the sky as the core, fragments of light began to shoot towards the earth.
The numerous beams of light, like a net, tore apart the plants that clung to the earth, bombarding the writhing, climbing Monster, cleansing the city occupied by Monster wave after wave.
The Monster's roots, firmly planted in the earth, were completely eradicated.
The nascent Monster was burned to ashes.
The fierce winds generated by the explosion also scattered the Prison Flower in the air.
At this moment, this astonishing destructive power once again shattered the confidence of the Prison Flower.
If, at their peak, they outnumbered Thousand Sins and could defeat him with overwhelming force, then...
But the current Star Flower seem to exist solely to annihilate them.
"Quick... run away! Let Mother teach her a lesson!"
"Eh? Won't Mother be angry?"
But they were no match for them at all.
At this moment, another Prison Flower came up with a good idea.
Although the remaining Prison Flower are not as numerous as at the beginning, and they are all newly born and still very weak, there is still something they can do.
"She's just bluffing. Let's use the Flower Above to push her back!"
"That's it! Let's use that trick."
If it were Crown Rank Magic specifically designed for Flower Magic girls, even the current Star Flower would absolutely not be able to withstand it!
The current quantity is simply insufficient to launch the full version.
But it's definitely enough to severely damage the opponent.
So, the Magic girl Prison Flower regrouped, dodging the Magic Power bombardment from the sky, and began preparing for the "Flower Above" ritual, just as they had done with Thousand Sins before.
Between the gaps in the light cannon's bombardment, countless petals began to drift and flutter in the air.
Even if the Magic girls present had never seen anything like this before, most of them could probably tell that they were definitely doing something very bad.
"Hey, Star Flower —watch out!"
Fate Kite shouted towards the Star Flower sky.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Star Flower, who was controlling the magical weapon, naturally witnessed everything that was happening.
"Yes, please leave it to me."
As she spoke, her slender arm, connected to her magical weapon, stretched downwards, and the giant arm connected to it also stretched downwards towards the location of the Prison Flower.
"Begin the performance---"
The arm-like vine, formed by connecting one trumpet-shaped flower after another, then extended and bloomed, finally revealing an extremely gorgeous kaleidoscope at its end.
Then, the Magic Power was transmitted and extended.
One note after another, accompanying the melody from beginning to end, finally erupted into a superb sonic boom within the kaleidoscope, blasting towards the Prison Flower below.
"--- Death Thousandfold Sonata."
That stirring, wave-like melody was by no means a jarring note.
The melody was incredibly beautiful and stirred the emotions within.
However, when those melodies blew across the petals created by the Prison Flower, and over the Prison Flower themselves, the beautiful tunes turned into a death sentence.
In an instant, all the petals were shattered into ashes by the heavenly sound.
When Star Flower raises the kaleidoscope once again.
Most of the enemies in her field of vision were annihilated.
Next, all that remained in her field of vision was a tiny yet undeniable figure.
The woman— Tachibana —still maintained a calm expression, gently tilting her head back to gaze at her with a look completely different from before.
"Miss Tachibana."
That leaves only the last person to face...
Chapter 170 The Strongest Black Death Cult
Without a doubt, this was a crushing defeat for Tachibana.
Not only did she fail to successfully make Sakaki Chika, the Magic girl she had long desired, her vessel, she also caused the complete annihilation of the Prison Flower she had nurtured over this period.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a complete mess.
But to be honest, for a Demon King whose brain is practically fried, these things are not worth caring about at all.
Even if they make mistakes and are defeated, they will only sleep for another few decades or hundreds of years.
However, something else is now bothering her.
How should it be described?
It might be hard to understand if you put it that way, but what Tachibana was actually thinking was—the sound that Crystal made was really beautiful.
From the Sakaki Chika transformed until now, her slow- Monster, eccentric mind has been preoccupied with this matter.
The melody was clear and pleasant, completely unlike the jarring and terrifying sound of the Devil King Crystal.
But it is not like other Crystal- like Fairies voices.
To put it bluntly, that voice sounds a lot like Haihara Lily Chou as a young girl.
So she couldn't help but think that Crystal was truly something to be envious of.
Why can't I, a monster formed from Crystal, produce such a beautiful sound?
"..."
When their gaze fell upon the Star Flower in the sky, seeing the other's dazzling and beautiful appearance, a cloud of jealousy and self-loathing welled up in their eyes.
Her slightly melancholic and languid eyes then gently closed.
When he opened his eyes again, the Demon King's gaze had lost its previous weakness and regained its usual ease.
"Ah, that explains why Lily suddenly appeared in your nightmare."
"So it was because of that Crystal."
By this time, Tachibana had completely figured out why the image of Haihara Lily Chou would inexplicably appear in the nightmares of Sakaki Chika, which she had originally created.
She hadn't noticed the Crystal before.
It was that Crystal that became the anchor point between Sakaki Chika and the amnesiac Haihara, connecting them in their dreams.
So when Sakaki Chika called out to the other person in her heart, she opened the door to her dreams to them.
That really makes one envious.
After that, the figure of a Witch slowly fell from the flower stage in the sky.
She arrived amidst a shower of rose-red petals.
Like Roses in full bloom.
The Roses- colored Magic girl, holding Flower Magic Wand, gently stepped onto the platform formed by the growing and weaving vines, standing in stark contrast to the Flower Demon King.
The more mature Magic girl looked at Tachibana with a calm gaze.
"Miss Tachibana, it seems I've improved a little more than you thought."
The rose-red Star Flower looked towards Tachibana.
In fact, women and young girls not only share some similarities in posture and temperament, but even their faces have a striking resemblance.
However, the woman's figure was all alone.
Behind Star Flower, the other Magic girls arrived one after another.
At this moment, Tachibana's expression had returned to calm, and she was smiling.
"You've become an enviable child too."
Tachibana remembers a saying that goes, "Human children will always have something in common with their mothers."
But at this point, she could no longer find anything similar to herself in Star Flower.
She murmured to herself softly:
"As someone I created, you should have many similarities to me, but why have you become so popular and loved?"
"So it really is because I'm Monster?"
She gently rested a finger on her chin, looking utterly perplexed.
Of course, the others couldn't understand what Tachibana was saying.
Why would a Monster suddenly talk about something as unrelated as "love"?
However, there's no need for that.
Of those present, only Star Flower tried to answer the question posed by Tachibana.
"Miss Tachibana, you too have been loved."
These words left Tachibana looking puzzled.
Clearly, she couldn't remember anyone.
"You were someone Grandma could never forget, and she never forgot your words until the very end."
"It's only because you never faced them that you've ended up with nothing."
Star Flower said all this not so that Tachibana -san would understand anything.
I just wanted to tell Ms. Tachibana, to let her know this.
That's enough.
Unsurprisingly, upon hearing this, Tachibana immediately seemed disappointed, appearing uninterested as if she had heard a very boring fact.
It seems that even in the end, she never truly cared about the Magic girl she had raised.
She said casually and calmly:
"Boring."
"Those useless childish ideas are fine no matter what."
The woman's tone remained gentle on the surface, but it revealed a cold-bloodedness that anyone could sense.
Upon hearing these words, Star Flower remained silent for a moment before her gaze dimmed slightly.
She couldn't quite put her finger on whether it was anger or something else, but after a while, she realized that whatever she said would be meaningless to Ms. Tachibana.
It seems that Miss Tachibana is ultimately someone she can't understand... Monster.
In any case, there's no need to say anything more.
Tachibana didn't seem discouraged; she elegantly smoothed her long, burgundy hair.
"It seems this time it was my failure."
"You can have Sakaki Chika back."
Now that Sakaki Chika and Tachibana's personal issues have been resolved, it's time to get back to business.
Therefore, Fate Kite stepped forward and stood in Hoshika's Tachibana to face Star Flower directly.
She gripped the hilt of the sword with one hand, while the other hand creaked and twisted the handle, and fiery flames erupted from the engine nozzle.
"Well then, it's time to take care of other things."
"Miss Tachibana, there are still a lot I'd like you to explain, such as why you became the owner of a hot spring inn. Is there some ulterior motive behind it?"
