The Sun-Shrouding Heavenly Serpent, Great Evil

Just as many people suffer from aversion to stupidity, Etzel suffers from aversion to fish... not in the sense of disliking the weak.

If the weak simply stay put, they will remain weak for the time being. But if they can sincerely plead with her, then she is not entirely unacceptable.

However, those who fail to recognize their own worth, who are arrogant and think they are superior, are actually the biggest scoundrels.

Even small fry have their Promised Land, but super-sized small fry are different.

Ignorance is no excuse for getting entangled once.

After struggling twice, it was clear that he had knowingly committed the offense.

She swung her tail and bounced around for the third time, almost splashing water on someone's face... No matter what others thought, Etzel just couldn't stand it.

"If the Xian Kui wants to see me, let her come to see me herself. Making you come and invite her feels a bit disrespectful..."

As she said this, Etzel, though not very bright, still managed to sense something was wrong. "How ridiculous."

"If everyone around the Xian Kui is a fool like you, then I think this Myriad Immortals Ceremony is meaningless..."

"But that Xian Kui doesn't seem stupid to me."

With these casual remarks, Etzel had no interest in kicking the ant; he simply waved his hand dismissively.

"Make way, you small fry."

As he said this, the magic that erupted so casually instantly scattered the dozen or so magical girls blocking his way, and some of them even fell to the ground instantly.

Just like an ordinary person who gets a push.

Then...

"Outrageous! Bullying the weak is utterly ridiculous!"

With that shout, as Etzel inexplicably turned her head... a blinding flash of light appeared.

With a whistling sound, the milky-white sword energy darted through the now nearly deserted street, slashing towards Etzel's neck.

"Ha?"

With a bewildered "Ha," Etzel blocked the sword energy with his bare hands and casually crushed it...

"Bump!!!!"

The explosion, accompanied by smoke and dust, roared out from Etzel's direction, enveloping the petite queen in a cloud of smoke.

Of course, it won't have any effect at all.

And who are you?

A helpless yet clearly disgusted voice came from the smoke. "You old hag, you called that 'insolence'?"

Do you know who you're talking to?

In response, a fairy (magical girl) with an elegant demeanor and flowing long hair, who suddenly appeared, retorted righteously, "I am speaking with an uninvited guest... a king from another country! Isn't it too unreasonable of you to attack my disciples and their descendants so brazenly?!"

"..." Etzel: "Ah..."

That's the limit.

Etzel's patience had reached its limit.

"..." Etzel looked at the dust clinging to her clothes, no longer even bothering to brush it off. "Unreasonable... Damn it, I was just bored and was going to read a book."

"I'm always teased about not being very smart, and I'm quite helpless about it... After all, logic and many common sense concepts are areas where I'm not very good."

Do you have any bookstore recommendations?

As they said this, the smoke and dust did not seem to dissipate over time; instead, it inexplicably grew thicker and thicker.

However, the magical girls reiterated their previous response to Etzel: "King of the Wild Hunt of Mongolia, Lord Xian Kui invites you for a chat, and afterwards you may freely borrow any of the books in your collection."

"..." Strange, the smoke is getting thicker and thicker.

No... no, it doesn't seem like an illusion. It really is the real deal. Something is...

It was the center that swept through.

"End..."

Like a tornado, a strange tornado began to stir up scattered dust around Etzel.

"End..."

Then, smoke began to gradually gather above... Before anyone knew it, Etzel had raised a technologically advanced lance high in his hand.

"Sky..."

As Etzel softly chanted, terrifying tornadoes and air pressure began to gather, spread, gather, and spread around her.

The shimmering light, a dazzling seven-colored radiance that reached the heavens, began to spin at an alarming speed.

The suppressed magic transformed into immense pressure.

Simply facing it is enough to render one immobile.

It was at this very moment that these magical girls, who were neither complete novices nor experts, who only knew how to fight and remained stubbornly closed off from the world, came to the fore.

Quite abruptly, I came to understand that the "Calamity and calamities that afflict the earth" recorded in ancient texts were not exaggerations.

Unfortunately, it seems it's already too late.

"Start!!!"

Chapter 666 The Sun-Covering Heavenly Serpent, the Great Evil

"Teacher, are you home? I've come to visit you..."

A man said this as he entered the courtyard, which was filled with trees and flowers, carrying two gift boxes in his hands.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a pond of clear water, with a few lotus leaves floating on the surface and several goldfish swimming leisurely in the water.

Both sides of the small bridge are planted with various kinds of grass.

It's the kind that's easy to care for and can also cultivate one's character.

It gives off the feeling of a retired cadre's courtyard...

In one corner of the courtyard, there was a large tree with a lush canopy under which lay a deck chair, and the teacher the man mentioned was lying on the deck chair.

It was a young girl resting while wearing an eye mask.

"Um?"

With a questioning look, the girl pulled the blindfold down to her forehead and looked at the respectful man carrying the gift box. "Zhao Anhua... didn't you go to Bright Moon City? How did you end up here?"

In response, the man, referred to as Zhao Anhua, placed the gift box on the stone table and said, "I've just come to visit my teacher and have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Upon hearing this, the girl sat up abruptly, removed her eye mask from her nap, and asked confidently, "Did you get into trouble?"

The man hesitated for a moment, but nodded in acknowledgment, "It was... my subordinates acted on their own... I was afraid this would escalate and implicate you, teacher."

"..."

"I've been retired for so many years, why are you still dragging me into this... I'm afraid it's your relative who caused this trouble?"

The girl spoke the truth so bluntly, shaking her head. "I told you long ago, don't create those kinds of idle positions for people from your own village."

"You'd even want to give the dogs from your own village a position like 'Special Mental Health Treatment Dog' for the Immortal Sect Management Department."

As she said this, the girl folded the deck chair back up, then lifted it with one hand and placed it next to the tree. "These idle people who just loaf around and wait to die are easy targets for gossip."

"It's fine if they don't care; they're just a bunch of freeloaders. The real problem is when they pretend to know what they don't and try to do something."

"They've really become a bunch of troublemakers."

Faced with the girl's blunt rebuke, Zhao Anhua smiled ingratiatingly, "Yes, yes, the teacher is right. It's also been a long time since any relatives have come to ask me for help."

After all, most of the necessary arrangements have been made.

Zhao Anhua attentively brewed tea for the girl and chatted with her about things from the past, without intending to get straight to the point.

Finally, the girl spoke first.

"What do you want? Just tell me."

"..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Anhua immediately smiled, "It's like this, in our Immortal Sect's managed system, there's someone named Zhao Jun."

"He's the regional head stationed in Bright Moon Town. To avoid a chaotic situation during this Grand Ceremony of Myriad Immortals Ceremony, he's planning to invite the Monster King..."

Zhao Anhua said this.

The girl had been holding back her composure until she heard the words "Monster King," at which point she nearly spat out her tea.

"Has your regional manager gone mad?"

The girl questioned him directly, completely understanding Zhao Anhua's subtext... which was actually quite easy to grasp.

To put it bluntly, the idea of "[to avoid a chaotic situation during this Myriad Immortals Ceremony]" is...

The goal is to establish rules for outsiders.

You've set the rules, so it's fine to post them like this, as long as the rules are reasonable. Whether outsiders or even Monster King follow them is irrelevant.

That's a matter for other departments.

But it's incredibly foolish of you to directly approach the Monster King, wanting them to witness and discuss these rules.

It can't even be described as stupid.

"I also think he's crazy."

With a wry smile, Zhao Anhua said with a troubled expression, "But he comes from our small town."

"Forget about the reputation of the Monster King, I've hardly ever even seen a monster attack... Maybe he wants to do something big and make people look at him with new eyes?"

Oh, he's been greedy for quick success and acted rashly; he's lost his mind.

"The formidable reputation of the Monster King..."

The magical girl muttered Zhao Anhua's words, her expression somewhat complicated. "If only it were as simple as 'prestige'... Who is it?"

Suddenly asking this question, the magical girl inquired of Zhao Anhua, asking, "Which Monster King have you offended?"

If she's easy to talk to, or someone she's had some connection with, she might even be willing to swallow her pride and plead for leniency.

"That one from Mongolia..."

Zhao Anhua spoke in a low voice, then, amidst the twitching of the magical girl's eye, he added with difficulty, "However, the King of the Wild Hunt acted directly in the city, destroying half a commercial street. She doesn't really have the upper hand."

"... Justified? The Monster King is the ultimate righteousness!"

The magical girl, sipping her tea, was so angry she laughed. She chuckled, "Half a commercial street? You should thank that person for restraining themselves."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. If we had only offended 'Venerable Wisdom-Spring Branch Crow,' we wouldn't have been forced to ask me for help."

"..." But the problem isn't just that...

"Then, after the envoy of the Mongolia King of Wind City, who was so aggressive, found Xian Kui was furious... It's already on the news."

Zhao Anhua said, unsure of what to do, "Our faction might be facing a major purge..."

"Those within the system who have engaged in dishonest practices will likely have their past misdeeds exposed and scrutinized."

To put it bluntly, the Immortal Sect Management Department is finished.

Along with many other departments, they will be subject to a major audit...

As the second-in-command of the Immortal Sect Management Department, Zhao Anhua was clearly also culpable. Although he hadn't committed any serious offense, demotion was still inevitable.

"..." This magical girl, who had previously been in charge and didn't pay much attention to the news, keenly noticed something amiss. "Let me see."

I then searched for news about Bright Moon City.

Then I looked at the photo...
