I'll Do What They Won't
Just like the Hulk transforming, in the blink of an eye, No. 3, who had grown to the size of a giant ape, appeared in front of the silver-haired girl!
This is one of the research findings of the organization behind the mercenaries.
Transcendent Potion.
By implanting a flesh seed imbued with Mutant Magic into a potion and injecting it into the human body, the person injected with the potion will transform into a species whose genes match, depending on the amount of Mutant Magic power and the genes within the flesh seed activated by the mutant magic!
And you're guaranteed to have at least the power of Lesser Demons!
This is considered one of the Behind-the-Scenes Organization cards, and it's also the reason why Behind-the-Scenes Organization dare to challenge Magical Girls.
Unfortunately, this medicine has two drawbacks.
The first drawback is that after the injection, the recipient's body will undergo an irreversible transformation according to the genetic species carrying the Magic Seed.
The second drawback--
"Roar!!!!!"
--They will lose their human wisdom.
Simply put...
They just have no brains.
At this moment, the giant ape roared at the silver-haired girl and charged towards the Magical Girls standing in the air without any strategy or plan.
Seeing that No. 3 had transformed into the form of a giant ape, the silver-haired girl's anger subsided slightly, replaced by a thoughtful and scrutinizing expression.
She seemed to completely disregard the giant ape, simply snapping her fingers, and countless chains shot out from the ground, binding the giant ape in the very center.
The silver chains resembled steel bars fixed in place; no matter how much the giant ape struggled, it couldn't budge them an inch.
It was obvious to everyone that the giant ape was no match for the silver-haired girl in the sky.
In front of the silver-haired girl, the giant ape was like a newborn baby, utterly powerless to resist.
This is the power of Magical Girls!
A final glimmer of clarity flashed in the giant ape's eyes. Although his intelligence was gradually fading, he still remembered his last command.
Eliminate the Magical Girls! Return extraordinary power to humanity itself!
"For... the future of humanity--!!!"
The giant ape roared to the sky, and a device on its body, triggered by its brainwaves, began a one-second countdown.
That's right, only one second.
With a 'beep' sound, the giant ape's body lit up with a bright white light.
The blazing white light appeared first, followed by the explosive shock and flames. In an instant, the silver-haired girl and the giant ape were completely engulfed by the explosive shock and flames!
A small mushroom cloud appeared over the wilderness, and the shockwave spread outwards, reaching a distance of over a thousand meters.
The ground shook, and flames roared into the sky.
With such a powerful explosion, theoretically, there shouldn't be any living creatures at the very center of the blast.
But just two seconds after the explosion, the mushroom cloud that rose was dispersed by a magical wind with purifying properties.
Located at the epicenter of the explosion, Xiao Bai waved his hand dismissively, frowning as he looked at the large crater in the ground, deep in thought.
She's alright.
Not only were they unharmed, but even the chains located at the epicenter of the explosion were completely undamaged!
For Xiao Bai, the greatest harm probably came from the dust and grime kicked up by the explosion, which soiled her silver hair.
However, this was completely removed by the Purification Magic.
Human firearms are useless against Magical Girls; this 'rule' is vividly demonstrated at this moment.
But Xiao Bai's expression didn't show much relief.
She frowned as she stared at the large crater in the ground, then turned to look at the red-clad Magical Girls who was angrily chasing after the other mercenaries, her expression growing increasingly icy.
"They're actually... going straight for the kill? These people are getting more and more outrageous!"
An anti-material sniper rifle designed to counter Magical Girls; a special drug injected into the body when surrounded by Magical Girls.
There's also self-destruction when faced with a dead end.
All of this proves that the Behind-the-Scenes Organization is hostile towards Magical Girls!
The thought that the Magical Girls' lives might be in danger fueled Xiao Bai's growing anger.
We can't wait any longer.
Improving yourself and catching the mastermind behind it all—neither of these two things can be neglected!
She must master the Erosion Form as soon as possible. Those damned sewer rats, Xiao Bai will settle accounts with them too!
Chapter 208 I'll Do What They Won't Do
"They're all here."
Aurora gathered the guys she had knocked unconscious together and threw them in front of Xiao Bai.
He added, "One of them self-destructed, and I used my Confusion Form to knock the rest unconscious... Tsk, that was terrifying. They actually tried to shoot me with such a big gun! What if I had gotten hit?! Damn it!"
As Aurora finished speaking, her words turned into complaints, and she kicked the person on the ground hard.
Xiao Bai looked at Aurora at that moment.
Aurora is still in her red form, but now she has some purple vortexes added to it.
These vortexes, like stickers, are imprinted on Aurora's sides, in a similar position to the Lightning Form icon.
Unlike the Lightning Form, these textures add a touch of cuteness to Aurora.
This is another form of Aurora, the Confusion Form.
The main source of her magic is a Magical Girls who uses mind control magic. After merging with Aurora's magic, she can use the abilities of Suggestion and mind manipulation.
It was through this ability that Aurora saved these people's lives, preventing them from being injected with the drug or self-destructing.
Xiao Bai glanced at Aurora's new form before lowering his head to examine the bodies of the others.
After removing the goggles from several mercenaries and rummaging through their pouches to take out injectable medication, Xiao Bai asked Kelly:
"Does this potion contain Mutant Magic?"
"Yes, and it's very strong," Kelly said, then suddenly remembered something and quickly added:
"But the magic inside is very unstable and needs to be separated and extracted. It's best if you don't inject it immediately."
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
Xiao Bai spoke, she put the medicine away.
She did want to quickly awaken her Erosion Form, but that doesn't mean she would inject herself with these drugs of unknown origin.
She had clearly seen what the giant ape had become, so Xiao Bai wouldn't use this unregulated potion until its safety was confirmed.
If he fails to Demonization and instead becomes a strange and monstrous person, then Xiao Bai will truly be left with nothing but tears.
"Injecting a drug? Why?" Aurora stared at Xiao Bai, bewildered. "This stuff looks suspicious, doesn't it? You actually want to inject this? Are you out of your mind?"
"... I already said I won't get injections."
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes at Aurora, then asked Kelly, "How are Xiao Qiu and the others now?"
"They're alright. It seems these people didn't intend to attack the Magical Girls in public."
Kelly, whose phone was connected to the other Magical Girls' phones, quickly gave an answer.
It seems that only Xiao Bai and Aurora, who came to the wilderness, were attacked, or rather, Aurora was the main target of the person behind the scenes.
It was all for the sake of getting Kelly from Aurora.
After it was all over, Xiao Bai felt a lingering fear. She looked at Aurora and asked:
"By the way, are you alright?"
"Hmph, with Kelly protecting me, what could possibly happen to me?"
Aurora said nonchalantly.
She didn't care at all about almost dying from a sniper rifle; after all, she survived and got her revenge, and that was enough.
But Xiao Bai doesn't think so.
She said to Aurora, "I'm sorry."
Why are you apologizing to me?
"If I hadn't dragged you outside, you wouldn't have been attacked..."
"Are you stupid? Wasn't our training in the wilderness before? And what does their attack on me have to do with you? It wasn't you who attacked me. You're definitely out of your mind, aren't you?"
Aurora looked at Xiao Bai with a strange expression.
She always felt that Xiao Bai was a bit too 'responsible,' in a negative sense.
She and Xiao Bai were not related by blood, and Xiao Bai was neither an older man nor a relative, so he was not obligated to take responsibility for her.
Furthermore, they brought me here with my consent, so what does my being attacked have to do with Xiao Bai?
Problem.
"..."
Xiao Bai was speechless after Aurora's words.
Although Aurora was right, it was indeed Xiao Bai's own responsibility.
She should have realized that an Aurora who couldn't transform herself would easily become a target for others, and should have taken more precautions against it.
However, they lowered their guard because they thought no one would attack them that day, which led to this incident.
The responsibility for this lies with her.
But since Aurora didn't want to say anything more about it, Xiao Bai simply stopped asking.
She sighed, shifted her gaze from Aurora, and looked up at the sky:
"Has the signal source been found?"
She was talking to Kelly.
"Looking... Hmm, found it. Someone did indeed use satellites to lock onto us. They're deleting the traces. Hmph, too bad..."
Unfortunately, he ran into Kelly.
After becoming Data Form, Kelly can be considered the world's top hacker, bar none.
Because other hackers need to input various codes and other random things to hack in, Kelly only needs to use magic.
Magic, in the context of the data flow of this world, is a form of dimensional reduction.
The people behind the scenes retreated quickly; they even disconnected the various electronic devices on the mercenaries from the network to prevent Kelly from discovering them.
But they had previously used satellites to lock onto Aurora and Xiao Bai.
This gave Kelly the opportunity to pursue them!
"This address... is it the Federation Military...? Hmm, no, is it a transit point...? Let me check, the phone records... the internet records..."
Kelly navigated the sea of data, not only finding the mole hidden within the Federation, but also discovering clues about the Behind-the-Scenes Organization all through the mole's various communications.
One minute later, Kelly said to Xiao Bai:
"They're being too cautious. I only found two testing sites... Do you want to go take a look?"
"Can."
Xiao Bai nodded.
Aurora's eyes lit up. "What? You want to fight? Count me in!"
"Go back."
Xiao Bai frowned and said to Aurora.
The previous training, coupled with Aurora's outburst just now, had depleted Aurora's magic power. Now, going there with Xiao Bai is just to cause trouble.
Moreover, having just experienced an attack, Xiao Bai felt that Aurora should be allowed to recover, at least to go back and rest.
