Chapter 554
The girl, however, remained completely unrespecting.
Seeing this attitude, Tixia Bathory didn't get angry but laughed, revealing a contemptuous expression.
"Oh? You don't want that?"
"Kid, let's not even talk about how you have a face that really annoys me."
"But with Her Majesty the Queen's permission not granted and no new successor to the Sovereignty emerging, our will dictates that punishing the Overlord is a necessary and imperative action. This is the justice of the entire Kingdom. What right do you have to refute the will of the entire R'lyeh?"
Although there are still differing opinions on whether to wage war on Earth.
But ultimately, the decision to overthrow the Overlord was undoubtedly the collective voice and decision of all the nobles.
The girl in front of me even denied this point.
Moreover, by attempting to defy their decision with her own voice, she has placed herself in opposition to everyone.
At this moment, almost all the nobles and Great Witch looked at this Magic girl, whose true purpose and origin were unknown, with either cold or contemptuous gazes.
After a long silence King's Presence, the Magic girl Thousand Sins blinked, her expression unchanged.
"R'lyeh's will?"
"If you ultimately represent R'lyeh, then why does R'lyeh possess such a will?"
She asked a strange question.
This time, even the Holy Tree Duke Alando expressed his opinion, saying gently yet firmly:
"We are Magic girls, and we have protected this Kingdom since its birth. So naturally, as representatives of Magic girls, we represent the will of all R'lyeh, don't we?"
Naturally, they are Magic girls.
They are the rulers of this country since ancient times, the descendants and successors of heroes and saviors.
So, of course, they are qualified.
"I despise fools, I hate madmen, and it seems you are both."
Iron-Blooded Duchess Tixia followed up with a scathing taunt.
Otherwise, why question something so obvious?
Only the girl in front of him seemed to disagree.
As her breath deepened, the Magic girl Thousand Sins spoke in a clear voice---
"If this is an ordinary Kingdom, if you are ordinary citizens, if we are founded on an unremarkable history, then I have no fault in what you have done."
"However, this country is named after R'lyeh."
"What I saw was not R'lyeh's will, nor was it what R'lyeh should have done."
The girl spoke calmly, but had no intention of going on and on. She said only briefly, leaving behind many confused and angry expressions, before turning away and looking back at the curtain that concealed the king.
Then, as Magic Power coalesced, a deep crimson light surged and burned in her hand, stretching out to an extreme length, outlining a blood-red cross.
With a flick of her wrist, the girl gripped the cross tightly.
"However, this is merely an empty argument."
Her low, cool voice drifted over.
"Therefore."
This Magic girl did something even more unimaginable than before.
Summon Magic Armament, shape them into weapons, and place them before this inviolable lord.
Not only that, but before everyone's eyes, the flames dissipated, and a Cross-shaped Great Nail, radiating a chilling light, was held in the Magic girl's hand and raised until it pointed towards the deepest part of the King's Hall, towards the supreme being behind the veil.
She pointed her weapon at the Queen of the country.
The Magic girl said---
"You say the decision has been made, but that is only if the Queen has not objected."
"Then I beg the Queen to hear my voice."
"As a member of the Royal Family, I question the Queen's current decision and demand a sacred duel with Her Majesty the Queen to prove my worthiness."
"Prove that your voice is loud enough for R'lyeh to hear."
Absurd.
For a moment, this was the only thought that came to everyone's mind.
Not only did they barge into the royal court, but they even dared to point Magic Armament at the esteemed Queen, and attempted to question Queen authority.
But, a sacred duel?
While this certainly complies with the regulations, what would it mean if she actually passed this trial?
Although everything seemed so absurd and nonsensical, when they saw that magnificent, noble golden hair that resembled both dawn and dusk, and those unwavering, fiery red eyes, everyone came up with an incredible word to describe it.
---- The Royal Family of R'lyeh.
Beauty and power are enough to convince people.
Those who can display the highest beauty and the greatest strength naturally possess the qualifications to lead others.
However, will the Queen respond to this fool's ramblings?
Presumably...
"----good."
A voice they hadn't heard in a long time came from behind the curtain.
For a moment, everything fell silent.
The Magic girls all looked towards the light screen and saw the figure behind it. Finally, they reacted and looked towards the girl holding a sword in the King's Hall.
The next moment, a sublime and pure light enveloped the place, as if a messenger from heaven had descended.
Or perhaps it is "Heaven" itself.
A noble, ethereal female voice emerged from the light, saying----
"I accept your challenge, Magic Girl Thousand Sins."
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 71 Mother's Kindness and Daughter's Filial Piety
From the very first Magic girl R'lyeh, the title of Queen has signified supreme authority in this kingdom.
The Witch Queen who leads all Witch, the absolute light that purifies all darkness and evil, symbolizing R'lyeh's undying glory and destiny.
In the realm of Witch, the crown of the Queen is less a symbol of a secular ruler and more akin to that of a "god."
Therefore, even those hidden behind curtains are revered.
Therefore, as long as the Queen's glory remains, R'lyeh forever.
Before the past Overlord, nothing had been able to shake this fact.
However, at this very moment, a young Witch, a Royal Family of unknown origin, raised her weapon against this god-like being, her blade drawn in defiance.
Al White R'lyeh, the most powerful Queen in R'lyeh's history, responded to the fool.
The scene before me was so spectacular that it would be no exaggeration to say that I had never seen anything like it in my life.
When the Queen herself gave the order, the noble Magic girls naturally had no further objections and all obeyed the Queen's holy will, wholeheartedly witnessing this sacred duel.
Besides these, many young, modern nobles were also present, displaying excitement and exhilaration.
Since most of them are only a hundred or two hundred years old, they have never had the opportunity to see Her Majesty the Queen's holy countenance since birth. They don't know how noble she must be, and even just catching a glimpse of her glory would be enough to satisfy them.
The challenger himself, Thousand Sins, should have been nervous, but at this moment he felt unexpectedly calm.
Soon, everything in King's Presence was enveloped in light.
It was a pure, unblemished white radiance, without any impurities, as if it could wash away all filth, allowing hearts clouded by time to return to their original state and embrace their origin.
Thousand Sins had witnessed the moment when the Overlord descended.
If it is the most magnificent and vibrant flower blooming from desire and aspiration, it is an unfathomable infinity.
So, at this very moment, what she saw before her was a pure, unblemished light, the most essential and original light, enough to illuminate everything.
It was the very beginning of everything.
The light was neither warm nor cold, but it was light itself.
However, this pure light only bloomed for a moment before receding and scattering everywhere. Within that holy and immaculate white, all the light outlined the flawless silhouette of a woman.
The figure was dressed in a pure white Queen gown, devoid of any other color, yet it resembled the first rays of dawn, evoking images of pure Asuka and sacred bouquets.
Her long, light golden hair, already luxurious like a precious gem, needed no braiding; it cascaded down, shimmering like the morning light, adding a regal touch to her white figure.
"How sacred and noble..."
Some people couldn't help but mutter to themselves... but this was also the first instinctive thought in the hearts of all the Magic girls present.
However, it may be a veil yet to be lifted.
The face of this noble queen was still veiled in white light, making it impossible for anyone to fathom her intentions.
In reality, even without this veil, no one has ever truly known what Her Majesty the Queen is thinking.
Any Great Witch who has lived long enough and has seen Queen Al White in person has had this thought: Al White, like the Genesis Crystal itself, is pure and untainted light, impossible to look directly at or grasp.
Of course, Thousand Sins, whose daughter she wasn't very close to, had no idea what Er Jiu Ni Liao Jiu Yin San Liao was thinking. Upon seeing her, she simply said calmly—
Are you going to meet my challenge in this manner?
In her memory, this posture of the other party was all too familiar.
There was neither Queen's crown nor a holy sword that served as Magic Armament; her face was veiled by a veil of light.
In the past, the opponent's phantoms often appeared in this form.
Is what's before me an illusion or the real thing?
"In terms of a duel, this is sufficient."
For her, this was enough to demonstrate the majesty of the Queen.
"I see."
Thousand Sins closed his eyes, then opened them shortly after:
"So, the war will begin here?"
Of course not.
Although this place is protected by Magic, it is not enough to serve as a stage for duels.
Soon, the Light Magic Power, which seemed to be the source of everything, transformed into pure white light and condensed in the hand of that noble and beautiful female figure, until it was forged into a holy longsword that was quite similar to Dailuoluo's Magic Armament.
An angelic figure grasped the light, then lightly stepped onto the floor bathed in its glow.
Instantly, light illuminated everything around, creating a brand new world that resembled a pure land.
This is a plain without any obstructions, with a sky that seems infinitely vast.
She created all of this effortlessly, but she didn't rush into war.
Instead, he looked at the girl and said with apparent interest:
"Then prove it to me, Shiori, no... Magic Girl Thousand Sins."
"Now that you've proposed this duel, it won't stop."
The woman spoke in a serene, sublime voice, devoid of any emotion.
A gaze, impossible to fathom, fell upon the blonde girl through the curtain.
Prove to me your resolve.
"Only then will I listen to your story and consider whether it is true."
And so, the Queen of this kingdom also raised her sacred and immaculate longsword, pointing it down at the Magic girl Thousand Sins, who was her challenger.
Behind the Queen, endless radiance bathed the sky, as white as the dawn.
Everything was imbued with its holiness.
