The Despair and Hope of Hundreds of Thousands

Youyou's heart was filled with worry.

(Nicole is so strong...)

(Does Demon Nicole have the strength to Upper Rank? Or is she just at the limit of the Middle Rank?)

(It's unclear, but it seems that none of the three Magical Girls in their Shining Form were a match for her.)

(Xiao Bai, Dongdong, keep it up!)

(Don't worry, Xiao Qiu and the others will definitely be able to stop the Demon Nicole. It's just a matter of positive emotions, watch me pass them on!)

(Is it being transmitted through the Sky Screen? www)

(Let me pass on my love for Magical Girls too!)

(Love from a shut-in is useless, right? www)

"... broken."

Unlike the optimism in the comments section, Youyou under the Sky Screen couldn't help but speak up when she saw the final scene of the Demon Nicole flying towards the barrier.

Chen Xiaoxia, grabbing Youyou's ear, pulled her Youyou and asked:

"What's wrong? What's on your mind again, you little rabbit?"

Youyou ignored the pain in her ear and spoke quickly:

"The Xiao Bai in the Sky Screen absorbed most of the negative emotions, right?"

"... Will something happen to Xiao Bai?!"

Yu Muqiu cried out in concern.

Youyou shook her head. "No, the problem isn't with Xiao Bai, but with the Demon Nicole. Normally, Xiao Bai absorbs all the negative emotions, and even if the Demons is integrated with the Nicole, it's impossible for it to have such a powerful recovery ability."

"But as you all saw, just how incredible Demon Nicole's regenerative abilities were in the final moments!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chun suddenly realized something. She looked up sharply at the Sky Screen and murmured to herself:

"... The Nightmare Seed."

With worry in Youyou eyes, Youyou said, "Yes, negative emotions need to be transformed through the Nightmare Seed. Normally, all the Nightmare Seed have been covered by the formation, so all the negative emotions should be transmitted to Xiao Bai through the formation."

"But... Nicole's body also contains a Nightmare Seed, which is... Nightmare Seed that doesn't count as part of the formation!"

In order to strengthen Nicole and delay the three Magical Girls, Youyou placed a newly created Nightmare Seed inside the Nicole figure.

Now, this Nightmare Seed is taking on the task of absorbing negative emotions. Although it is slow and minute, it is indeed providing that Demons with the power brought by negative emotions.

Therefore, at this very moment, the Demon Nicole is actually slowly moving towards becoming Upper Demon.

Once she truly reaches the level of Upper Demon...

Xiao Qiu and the others inside the Sky Screen are truly in danger!

Three-colored light and black-red light intertwined in the void.

They have already moved far beyond the barrier, breaking through to the edge of the World Barrier.

This is a colorful space, and further away, an endless colorful barrier is the boundary of the world.

This space made a brief appearance in the first episode of the first season, when Nino broke through the barrier and fell into this world.

Now, it reappears in the Sky Screen.

This was the first time Yu Muqiu and his two companions had ever been to such a place. It was like outer space; there was no air, the temperature was extremely low, and even sound couldn't travel.

Fortunately, the three of them could still communicate using magic.

After a brief exchange, the three decided on a plan to deal with the Demon Nicole.

"You bastard! You think you can just run away when you can't win?!"

Chen Xiaoxia was the first to rush forward and stand in front of the Demon Nicole.

The Demon Nicole tilted her head, a hint of mockery appearing on her expressionless face, and said:

"Escape? You are not worth my escape. It is more important to me to bring my people here than to engage in a pointless battle with you."

"Ha, that sounds nice, but all you did was go back and call your parents because you knew you couldn't win. What a disgrace!"

"!"

Demon Nicole's expression instantly turned cold.

It has to be said that Chen Xiaoxia's sarcastic skills are as powerful as ever. With just a few words, she managed to completely draw the attention of the Demon Nicole to her.

"Since you're looking for death—"

A stream of black and red light traversed space. In the colorful world, a black ray, like a sharp blade that cleaved space, approached Chen Xiaoxia from afar.

This black light was none other than the Demon Nicole. Once again, the Demon Nicole arrived beside Chen Xiaoxia at Speed Demon, her right fist clenched, and she thrust straight at Chen Xiaoxia, unleashing a deadly attack.

"--Then I'll grant your wish!"

The fist shot out suddenly, landing almost instantly on Chen Xiaoxia's lower abdomen!

A crack appeared in the armor on her abdomen, Chen Xiaoxia's eyes widened, and she was sent flying backward by the powerful impact.

But Demon Nicole did not let Chen Xiaoxia off the hook. She pressed her advantage and caught up with Chen Xiaoxia, who had been knocked away!

However, after being knocked away, Chen Xiaoxia reacted. Enhancement Magic spread throughout her body, and the magical light shone brightly again. With blood seemingly at the corner of her mouth, Chen Xiaoxia swung her longsword with her right hand. The blue greatsword pulsed with sword energy and collided with the oncoming Demon Nicole!

"Damn it, do you even know... this hurts?!"

Chen Xiaoxia grinned, and as she swung the giant sword, sword energy swept out in all directions like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden.

At the same moment, Yu Muqiu and Murong Xiaochun's attack was also ready.

Very strong!

Yu Muqiu thought to himself.

The Demon Nicole's power seems to have grown even stronger, and she seems to be constantly getting stronger?

Yu Muqiu noticed this, but there was nothing she could do to stop it. All she could do now was prepare her attack and try to eliminate the Demon Nicole.

That's all.

The Light Cannon struck again, and at the same time, Xiao Chun's green Arrows transformed into pure energy, intertwining and merging with the Light Cannon as it flew towards the Demon Nicole.

This is a combination attack between Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun; once again, the Demon Nicole is engulfed by the Light Cannon.

However, when the light from the Light Cannon faded, the familiar scene reappeared.

Demon Nicole's body rapidly healed, and in an instant, she returned to her original state.

"... How are we supposed to fight this?!"

Chen Xiaoxia complained.

You can't beat them no matter how hard you try, and even if you manage to hit them, they can quickly recover.

How can they fight an invincible enemy when their opponent is already invincible from the start?

This is really troublesome!

Chapter 179 Despair and Hope of Hundreds of Thousands of People

["It's useless."

The intelligence of the Demon Nicole seems to be increasing.

Looking at her fully restored body, she said to the Magical Girls:

"As long as despair exists in people's hearts, you can never defeat me. Give up."

As the Demon Nicole spoke, the Nightmare Gem deep within her chest flickered and shone, and the Nightmare Seed began to sprout. Countless negative energies flowed from the world below into the heart of the Demon Nicole.

This is precisely the source of Demon Nicole's power!

"How could this be? Xiao Bai isn't—I see, it's that Nightmare Seed...?"

Yu Muqiu was about to say that this was impossible, after all, Xiao Bai was still absorbing negative emotions.

But Yu Muqiu quickly remembered the Nightmare Seed Youyou had placed on Nicole to delay their progress.

The foreshadowing from back then has become an insurmountable obstacle for the Magical Girls now.

(Sigh, Youyou!!)

(A bad rabbit that's more trouble than it's worth!)

(Let's stew it, let's stew it [take it off the heat])

([Start a fire])

(... Um, aren't you guys going a bit too far? Can't you try a different approach? I want it grilled www)

(www You didn't let her off the hook either)

Youyou is now considered to be the target of both divine and popular resentment, although most viewers are only venting their anger on the Youyou in the Sky Screen.

But in reality, Youyou probably won't be able to go out for a while.

In reality, this will likely spark a wave of rabbit-eating.

Regardless of what the future holds for Youyou, Fang Ming stared intently at the last Demon Nicole, his brows furrowed deeply.

This is only infinitely close to becoming Upper Rank, and it's already this difficult to deal with. Just how powerful must a true Upper Demon be?

After absorbing negative emotions and awakening the Erosion Form, the self within the Sky Screen should be comparable to Upper Demon.

But what about myself?

My current magic power progress is less than one-fifth of the Middle Rank!

Fang Ming felt anxious about the progress of his own strength improvement.

After all, he couldn't possibly be like Youyou in the Sky Screen, truly hypnotizing hundreds of thousands of people and using their negative emotions to elevate himself.

One reason is that Youyou probably wouldn't do that now, and another is that the Magical Girls would definitely stop him.

Fang Ming himself didn't want to do anything that would upset the Magical Girls.

But what other options are there?

Hmm... wait a minute, it seems like Dongdong can turn Western Capital into something alive?

If that's the case...

Fang Ming suddenly had a new idea.

He almost forgot one thing: he was a fairly well-known bestselling author in this world.

Take out a few comics, set up a prop with different time flow rates inside and outside the comics, and then have Dongdong bring it to life.

This might be a good opportunity!

Although Yu Muqiu understood the source of Demon Nicole's power and the reason for her super-fast recovery, he was helpless.

In fact, up to this point, Yu Muqiu and her team have only one task: to buy time.

To prevent Demon Nicole from breaking through the World Barrier and transmitting the information, we must, in turn, delay Demon Nicole progress as much as possible and attempt to inflict damage upon her.

Until... Dongdong's 'Sweet Dream Light' was delivered to Yu Muqiu's hands.

Has five minutes passed since the Demons and Nicole fused?

Although the battle was fierce, and half of the city within the Nightmare Barrier became casualties of their fight, the actual time that passed was very short.

Song Niandong's side probably wasn't ready yet, but Yu Muqiu's side was somewhat helpless against the Demons in front of him.

And that's not all.

"I think I've learned your attack methods."

Demon Nicole suddenly spoke up.

She raised her hand, her fingertips pointing towards the three Magical Girls, and black and red Energy-Binding Rings appeared at her fingertips:

"Light Cannon... not bad move."

"That's what the Demon Nicole said," she said, and as her words fell, Despair Light suddenly shot from her fingertips!

The tiny rays had already reached a diameter of one meter by the time they passed through the first Energy-Binding Rings. Amplified by subsequent Energy-Binding Rings, the black and red light almost covered half of this colorful space, surging towards the three Magical Girls!
