Chapter 337
The battle between Yu Muqiu and Lesos, from an outsider's perspective, resembled a battle between gods.
The sky was now completely filled with the bombardment of various energies. The magic generated by the collision between the Light Cannon dissipated in the air and was then absorbed into new Light Cannon, creating even more powerful Magic Cannon.
After making initial probes, Yu Muqiu used a new tactic.
Unfortunately, Yu Muqiu's current state is not infinite.
The magical power of all the Magical Girls was now connected to her, and all the attacks Yu Muqiu released were actually consuming the magical power of her companions.
Even with the Hope Magic Array above Spring City as a backup energy source, Yu Muqiu's current state cannot be maintained for long.
Five minutes.
If the battle cannot be resolved within five minutes, Yu Muqiu will completely lose the chance to reclaim Xiao Bai.
She herself might even be captured by Lesos and transformed into Witch.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Yu Muqiu must act quickly and decisively!
As he twirled his magic wand, Yu Muqiu's figure gradually rose higher, reaching the sky.
She took a deep breath, gripped the wand that had transformed into a long handle with both hands, and a magic circle appeared beneath her feet, with countless points of light gathering at the tip of the wand.
The large magic circle that had appeared behind her did not disappear, but amidst the countless Light Cannons, countless chains suddenly extended out.
Aside from the color, those chains were very similar to the chains Xiao Bai used, clearly magical chains created by Yu Muqiu using his Shaping Magic.
The chains passed around Lesos without directly touching Lesos, but rather wrapped around Lesos, forming a magical grid that trapped Lesos within.
Magic filled the gaps in the grid, binding Lesos inside the magical cage for a short time.
Only after the magic cage was formed did Yu Muqiu's attack erupt from the magic wand!
"Shine Light!"
The Light Cannon, its magic compressed to its limit, was unleashed from the tip of the wand, spewing forth a surging wave of magical energy!
The wave crashed down from the sky, engulfing Lesos, who was bound by the Magic Network, and shattering the ground beneath her feet.
The city, already reduced to ruins, shattered under this attack, the impact of the shelling spreading outwards.
These energies overturned the earth's surface, and the soil, after being shattered, was annihilated by the light of the Magic Cannon. Layer after layer, in this short time, the original location of Spring City was completely swallowed up!
Rumble--
When it's all over.
Below, no trace of the city can be seen; only on the city's edge can one find some fortunate buildings that were not completely destroyed.
In the original location of the city, an extremely deep pit has replaced the original Spring City.
The pit was over ten kilometers in diameter and its depth was unfathomable; all that could be seen was a dark, empty void.
It's easy to imagine that if Xiao Qiu's attack had landed in the real-world Spring City Spring City, very few people would have survived.
(...)
(...)
(... To be honest, I... am a little scared)
(No... Huh? This power...? Ahh??)
(Does a nuclear bomb have that kind of power? No, even a nuclear bomb isn't that strong!)
(Just kidding, isn't this leap in strength a bit illogical...?)
(You're trying to explain science to Magical Girls?)
(But we have to stick to the basics! In the battles when we were in the Middle Rank, we only occasionally destroyed some city buildings, but now... a single hit wipes out an entire city!!)
(Calm down... Calm down... Magical Girls' powers are subjective, so this is normal...!)
After witnessing the scene created by Xiao Qiu's attack.
The chat was unusually silent.
At that moment, the number of comments suddenly decreased, and then gradually became denser again.
Because in that instant, the audience finally realized just how powerful the Magical Girls truly was.
Unlike regular anime series, where viewers might jokingly discuss the characters' fighting strength, this series is different.
They might even create a power ranking list to debate it.
But what was playing on the Sky Screen wasn't just an anime series.
It is reality.
If the characters in anime actually become connected to reality, then if someone demonstrates a power strong enough to Destruction the world, it will definitely terrify the people of that world.
What Xiao Qiu showed was just the tip of the iceberg of Magical Girls's fully formed power.
But even with just this kind of attack, it was enough to make people treat her like a god.
Yu Muqiu himself, standing beneath the Sky Screen, was stunned for a long time after witnessing the attack launched by [Yu Muqiu] within the Sky Screen.
Her lips trembled, and after a while she asked:
"This... this attack... was... done by me?"
"Xiao Qiu, don't worry, you've activated the barrier inside the Sky Screen," Nino comforted her from the side.
Xiao Qiu took a deep breath and said slowly:
"I... I know, but... but... this is... actually a little scary."
Seeing that Xiao Qiu seemed somewhat afraid of what she had done, Kelly paused for two seconds before slowly explaining to Xiao Qiu:
"Attacks from Upper Rank- tier Demons, as well as attacks from Demons at the Pillar Rank and above, can achieve similar effects."
"After Sky Screen your Shining Form, establishing Magic Link, and then activating Dawn Mode, your strength should already be in the upper-middle tier of the Upper Rank. It's not surprising that you could unleash such an attack."
The power gap between Magical Girls widens as time goes on.
Even among those in the Upper Rank, there are significant differences between ordinary Upper Rank and elite Upper Rank, let alone Yu Muqiu who has unlocked a new form.
Kelly even felt that, judging from the performance in the Sky Screen, it was probably Yu Muqiu who did the hard work.
After all, once they rise to Upper Rank, the power of Magical Girls and Demons undergoes a qualitative change.
Pillar Rank Demons can even kill all living things on the surface, Commander Rank Demons can even completely destroy an entire world!
The power gap between Magical Girls and Demons in the later stages is just that huge.
Otherwise, why would Youyou have said at the beginning that Xiao Qiu and the others had no hope?
Otherwise, why wouldn't Lesos believe that Xiao Qiu and the others could survive the Demons' attack?
That's the reason.
Yu Muqiu and the others may think they are very strong now, but they are really not good enough for Demons at the Pillar Rank or above.
"... Keep watching."
Xiao Bai didn't say anything to comfort her.
She simply gestured for everyone to continue looking at the Sky Screen, since the entire theatrical version was nearing its end at this stage.
Yu Muqiu was slightly out of breath after unleashing his attack.
Sparks of magical hope appeared around her, rapidly flowing into her body and replenishing her depleted magical energy.
That attack just now was Yu Muqiu's strongest attack so far. Judging from the fate of the city within the barrier, it truly deserved the title of 'strongest'.
However, Yu Muqiu's expression did not relax at all.
Because she was certain that this attack hadn't truly eliminated Lesos!
Sure enough, with a flash of purple light, Lesos, dressed in a dress and holding a parasol, reappeared in the deep pit.
She remained in the same spot, her expression unchanged, and even her physical condition remained the same.
It was as if the attack had completely missed her.
Yu Muqiu's eyes widened slightly. She believed that Lesos wouldn't be defeated by her move, but to be completely unharmed... wasn't that a bit too outrageous?!
"Great, really great."
As soon as Lesos appeared in front of Yu Muqiu, she expressed her heartfelt admiration for Yu Muqiu.
She clapped her hands gently, looked at Yu Muqiu with deep eyes, and said admiringly:
"To have mastered Shining Form and Dawn Mode in such a short time, I must say your talent ranks among the top of all Magical Girls throughout history."
"..." Yu Muqiu did not respond; she simply looked at Lesos.
Lesos didn't care whether Yu Muqiu responded or not; she continued speaking on her own:
"To be honest, I'm a little surprised. With Magical Girls almost completely wiped out, Magical Girls like you has actually emerged from the depths of despair... Very good, really very good."
"What... what exactly is your purpose! You don't seem to want to be our enemy, nor do you seem to be here to help us... what... what do you want Xiao Bai to do!"
This time, Yu Muqiu finally spoke up and asked.
Lesos shook her head slightly, not answering, but simply saying:
"I don't have time to explain right now, after all, it took me a lot of magic power to resist that attack."
"So... let's put an end to this brief encounter--"
As Lesos spoke, she threw away the parasol in her hand, which fell in front of her, its wide canopy shielding her from view.
As the parasol continued to descend, revealing Lesos's body once more, the powerful Witch had already transformed into another form.
Her body suddenly became enormous, but it also deviated from the most basic human form.
A tall and slender figure replaced Lesos's appearance.
She was wearing a thick gown, beneath which lay bottomless darkness.
Behind her was a floating clock, its hands pointing to 11:59.
The second hand is turning gently, moving towards twelve o'clock.
Lesos's appearance also changed.
Two symmetrical purple erosion lines appeared on her delicate, fair skin.
For her eyes, black and purple strips of cloth were tightly wrapped around them, highlighting their shape.
Her nails also became long and thin, with erosion patterns on top that matched her signature color.
The enormous parasol landed at his feet, hanging upside down and open, its handle disappearing and becoming a 'stepping stone' to hold Lesos down.
Yu Muqiu stared at this scene in astonishment, while simultaneously gripping his magic wand tightly.
Lesos opened her arms and said loudly to Yu Muqiu:
"Come on, little guy, if you can completely defeat me in this posture within one minute—then I'll grant you one request, no matter what it is! I'll grant it!"
"But if you can't beat me--"
Lesos licked her still-bright red lips, letting out a seductive laugh:
"--Then I'll accept this world, including you all, without any hesitation, hehehehe~"
Thus said the Eternal Witch, Lesos.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 366 The Demons is Coming!
Lesos's body grew larger.
Correspondingly, its strength also seems to have increased to some extent.
This seems to be Lesos's second form, or perhaps her true form.
Lesos's strength increased once again, and as soon as she changed her form, Lesos launched a merciless attack on Yu Muqiu.
Countless ribbons fluttered from the Witch's dress, spreading out behind her and striking Yu Muqiu in the sky with the same speed and power.
The pink Magical Girls dodged in the sky, occasionally unleashing Magic Cannon behind her to repel the incoming ribbons, but unfortunately there were too many ribbons, and Yu Muqiu couldn't stop to prepare an attack for a while!
Lesos's strength is now almost equal to Yu Muqiu's, so if you want to completely eliminate Lesos, you have to launch another attack like the one before.
But such an attack requires charging up, and Yu Muqiu doesn't have time to charge up right now!
She needs someone to help her buy some time!
