Chapter 558
Therefore, that is incorrect.
It is not wrong to wage war against the Overlord.
It's not even a reason like "we can't fight on Earth."
Thousand Sins's reason was that he denied the inherent power of all the nobles and Great Witch present.
That was more unacceptable to the group of nobles with their extremely high self-esteem than any other fact or reason.
Even for a moment, they couldn't quite process or think about some of the incredible information in the Queen's words; their own emotions surged up.
Especially from the perspective of a young, overly naive, and arrogant girl.
However, this is indeed an objective fact.
In that Holy War to defeat the Overlord, there were only three Crown Rank Magic Girls who could be considered to be fighting on the same level as the Overlord.
Queen Al White, "Holy Lord" Solomon, "Lord Gemstone" Roland.
The remaining Crown Rank were merely able to avoid disintegrating in the aftershocks and incidentally help construct the final seal of the Crown Rank Magic.
However, the current Overlord is no longer bound by the Magic Spell "Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon".
Besides the Queen, will the other two also participate in the war?
Whether it was because his anger had reached its peak, or because the person wasn't as volatile and unpredictable as they appeared, the Iron-Blooded Duchess's gaze had plummeted to its coldest point.
"So, are you dreaming of letting R'lyeh be slaughtered by the Overlord in the end? Should we personally kneel down and beg the Overlord not to kill us?"
As the radiance gradually dimmed, the girl's silhouette became clearer. Both the girl and the Queen seemed to pause for a moment, allowing the girl time to respond.
The blonde girl's deep red eyes blazed like flames as she looked down at the Iron-Blooded Duchess Tixia.
The alluring and beautiful girl, like Demon King, was now covered in wounds, her Magic Gear tattered, yet she raised a snow-white arm, clenching her fist against her chest, as if making a vow—
"Unnecessary."
"Because—I will go and defeat the Overlord, and stop all of this."
"---Because both you and the Royal Capital gone mad, I must stop them all."
Who's gone mad?
After saying these words, the Iron-Blooded Duchess didn't know whether to be angry or to find the girl's madness absurd.
How could someone say such crazy and foolish things?
By her?
Even the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke Overlord, the woman he hated most and could never forget in his life, dared not utter such insane words.
Just because she's that woman's daughter?
Unacceptable, unacceptable no matter what, no matter where...
What if you fail?
I will atone with my death.
Do you really think that atoning for your sins with your death can easily atone for all the consequences caused by your willfulness?
Despite being a noble Grand Duchess, Tixia had lost her composure; her sweet and beautiful face was contorted by an unnamed fire burning within her.
But in the end, I only received an even more infuriating response.
"You can stop my whims now, but in the end, I will defeat you."
Even now, Thousand Sins is no match for Iron-Blooded Duchess.
However, even now, she continues to push her limits.
She seemed to have an insane confidence that she would eventually surpass this incredibly powerful Grand Duke of the Kingdom.
"... You really dare to say that, you---"
The surrounding air instantly boiled over by the Iron-Blooded Duchess's rage, and the entire world's sky was instantly transformed into Purgatory of karmic fire.
But she was stopped by the Holy Tree Duke, who was barely maintaining his composure.
However, this time, even the usually elegant and refined Holy Tree Duke revealed a very cold expression.
They seemed to think this little girl was going too far with her absurdity.
Even so, it seems that Thousand Sins's deluge of nonsense is not yet over.
Even under such grand and glorious light, her unique and distinct color was still visible to everyone, so small, yet so impossible to ignore.
"Listen up, you weaklings! I will not allow the calamity prophesied by the Grand Scholar of Star Reading to befall you, nor will I allow R'lyeh to suffer as a result."
That figure went against the grain of everyone else and everything else.
However, she herself seemed to become a road blooming with flowers and shining brightly.
"I will never allow war to break out, nor let that selfish and self-centered woman, Overlord, repeat the mistakes of the past and kill each other again."
Finally, as she faced the magnificent, all-encompassing radiance of the heavens, she once again made that disrespectful gesture.
She pointed her cross at the ethereal king who always concealed everything with curtains and veils of light, undoubtedly engaging in a fool's madness, trying to touch the impossible light.
---That was nothing but a madman and a fool.
Why, knowing there was absolutely no chance of victory, did she still come here?
"And Al White R'lyeh, Queen of this Kingdom, I too cannot understand your actions, nor can I see through the truth you conceal. Therefore, I have come to challenge you, seeking the truth behind your lies."
"Thus, I will unveil your self-contradictory veil."
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 74 The Light of Truth
It seems only absurdity can describe it.
The girl's declaration both angered and bewildered the nobles who would decide the fate of the Kingdom.
However, many who were not completely blinded by anger recalled some of the conversations the young Witch had just had with the Queen.
What did Your Her Majesty the Queen call Thousand Sins just now?
She's said to be the daughter of the Overlord, and whose daughter?
It sounds unbelievable, yet it seems to be the only possibility. No wonder this girl has such extraordinary talent, and it's understandable why they've never heard of her before.
So, how does Her Majesty the Queen view the other party?
The Queen of R'lyeh, the Primordial Witch, the most powerful king in the Kingdom's history, and the Holy Sword Wielder who has never been defeated.
Her Crown Rank also confirms this.
---"Supreme King" Al White R'lyeh.
However, since the beginning of time, apart from that mysterious queen, no one has been able to know the true feelings of this Her Majesty the Queen.
At this moment, after hearing Thousand Sins's words, her face, hidden behind the veil of light, showed no ripples or waves.
He merely raised his chin slightly, conveying his divine will with that ethereal, heavenly voice—
"However, I have yet to see that you possess the power to reach the truth."
"It seems your actions haven't been well-received by the people here."
"You do not yet possess the power to convince others."
The woman's voice, pure and serene, was like heavenly music, yet also incredibly distant.
It's as unattainable as the sky.
Compared to the radiant light that illuminates and envelops everything like the morning sun, Thousand Sins's solitary figure still appears insignificant. Even now, she has not been able to truly touch that existence that seems like the heavens.
Furthermore, no one can fathom the vastness of the sky, its changing weather, let alone its thoughts.
Before Thousand Sins could respond, the Queen seemed to have thought of something, and raised her hand to release a wisp of pure light from the sky.
Then, casually pinching it, the light transformed into a pure white Roses.
Like someone Thousand Sins had met before, but also different.
The Queen raised the Roses, using the morning light as paint and the sky as a canvas, thus depicting the arc of the world with her own heart, outlining figures one by one.
The boundless light once illuminated the entire field of vision.
This time, it doesn't seem to be sword Magic either.
Thousand Sins saw—a figure as swift as Asuka.
Holy feathers made of light fell from the high, pure white sky, and in that radiant canopy, the figures of angels made of illusory light adorned that mythical scroll.
Like messengers of the Lord of Heaven, some sounded horns, some sang hymns, and some held swords like knights.
The sacred music played by the angels seemed ethereal and distant, yet it was by no means a hallucination.
The once-frozen oil painting began to change with the melody, and in the next moment, Thousand Sins saw thousands of birds flying out of the painting.
No...
Countless angels arrived, flapping their wings of light.
It was as if they came to cleanse this filthy world; the fallen feathers blossomed into flowers of light, causing Thousand Sins to lose his sight and his place.
It appeared solemn and slow, like an oil painting, but the silent angel arrived and struck like light in the next instant.
-----clang.
Thousand Sins blocked the angel's sword with Cross Nail.
More angels surged toward the Witch who had defied the heavens.
In an instant, her enemies became an army of thousands.
The Magic girl Thousand Sins's Magic Power was clearly not yet exhausted. Even as she faced the overwhelming force of the heavens, she struggled more and more, but she continued to break through obstacles and advance closer to the sky.
The blade, radiating a tyrannical crimson light, cleaved through the endless blazing light, causing many magnificent white wings to break and fall. However, before anyone could react, a holy sword also severed Thousand Sins's demonic Magic Gear, piercing through her Thousand Sins and blood, its scorching light burning the girl's blood and bones.
Those sword angels are incredibly powerful.
He had just pierced through a series of angelic shadows, and before he could even catch his breath, dozens or even hundreds of sword lights flashed in his peripheral vision, slashing down from all directions like a storm.
With a raised arm, Thousand Sins unleashed twelve layers of crimson light barriers that formed a curtain against the densest group of angels. As each layer shattered almost simultaneously with a sound of being overwhelmed, a Purgatory inferno engulfed and consumed the angels.
"-----Boom!"
The flames continued unabated, but before they subsided, Thousand Sins felt as if something extremely hot had pierced his abdomen.
An angel wielding a gun had already overcome countless attacks, piercing through Thousand Sins with his spear of light.
"Well---"
The blood of Thousand Sins choked in my throat.
But before she could scream in pain, she raised her armored claws, grabbed the angel's head, and crushed it.
However, the Magic Power continues to heal the wounds.
As the Magic girl faced hundreds of angels, she continued to ascend, even though the deep red of Thousand Sins in the sky was almost swallowed up by blinding white light.
What will the outcome be?
It seems it's not time to fall yet.
"You said... I wanted to show you my determination."
"So, are you now willing to consider what I have said?"
After traversing countless battles, the girl's voice finally reached the high heavens.
Until the blood-soaked girl finally saw the Queen's outline again, she had already passed through layers of clouds, and below were countless floating, suspended broken wings and sword remains.
Seeing the girl's battered and bruised body, the Queen remained unmoved and did not directly respond to Thousand Sins. Instead, she asked a strange question—
"You question the actions of the king of this kingdom, disagree with everyone's decisions, and go against the will of the people."
"Then, Magic girl Thousand Sins, as the young Royal Family who has challenged me..."
"In your opinion, what is necessary for a king?"
"In what direction should the King of R'lyeh lead this kingdom?"
Compared to the spotless, pure white king, the girl's Magic Gear was tattered beyond repair in the battle, her body stained with her own blood, yet her fighting spirit remained undiminished.
