Chapter 357
"Thinking about that nightmare?"
"Hmm, I always feel that dream... it didn't quite feel like a dream. Whether it was a premonition or something else... anyway, I'm a little uneasy."
Xiao Qiu said in a low voice.
Xiao Qiu felt very uneasy about the nightmare she had last night.
Although she had forgotten most of the dream, she was deeply impressed by the two approaching masses of darkness.
Yu Muqiu didn't think this was just a nightmare; her irrational intuition was giving her some kind of warning.
"In that case, you'll need to train even harder tomorrow."
Xiao Bai responded softly to Xiao Qiu.
Yu Muqiu was stunned. She turned to look at Xiao Bai, her pupils reflecting the silver figure, and fell silent for a moment.
Yu Muqiu remained silent, which puzzled Xiao Bai. She turned to the pink-haired girl and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No... well, it's just... I feel like you've definitely changed, Xiao Bai. If it were before..."
Yu Muqiu suddenly shook his head, smiled, clenched his small fist in front of his chest, and said:
"Okay! Anyway, I'll try my best!"
Xiao Bai could roughly guess what Yu Muqiu wanted to say.
If it were the old Xiao Bai, she would probably have told Yu Muqiu to relax and not think about those things, since Xiao Bai would handle everything.
But now, Xiao Bai has been left far behind by the Magical Girls.
She looked at Yu Muqiu as well, her pupils also reflecting the image of the pink-haired girl. Gazing at her like this, she became slightly lost in thought and murmured a sigh:
"... You've definitely grown up."
"Um?"
Yu Muqiu tilted his head, puzzled.
Xiao Bai turned around again, not looking at Yu Muqiu, and continued to gaze at the sea reflecting the moonlight in the distance, saying, "Get some rest. We have special training tomorrow, and it's going to be tough. You need to be mentally prepared."
"Okay, I understand!"
Yu Muqiu nodded firmly, and as he was about to leave, he suddenly said to Xiao Bai:
"Xiao Bai, from now on I will... we will defeat the Demons! We will ensure that this world is no longer harmed by Demons! Believe in us!"
After saying this to Xiao Bai, Yu Muqiu turned and left.
Xiao Bai understood the meaning behind her last sentence.
Yu Muqiu didn't want Xiao Bai to fight anymore, which is why he made Xiao Bai trust them, trust their strength, and trust that they could drive the Demons out of this world even without Xiao Bai's help.
"... I will believe you."
After Yu Muqiu left, Xiao Bai spoke slowly.
Of course she believed in the Magical Girls; after all, what else could Xiao Bai do besides trust them?
The future of this world belongs to them, not to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai was just a passerby who accidentally wandered into this world; she shouldn't have been standing with these Magical Girls in the first place.
The fact that things have come to this point is entirely Xiaobai's own fault, and he has no one to Xiao Bai but himself.
But there's no going back in this world, and time machines don't exist. Even someone as powerful as the Eternal Witch Lesos can't stop time in the entire world.
Every step we've taken along the way will be firmly imprinted, indelible, and unchangeable.
Xiao Bai can do now is to witness Yu Muqiu and the others grow up in these final moments.
Only in this way can Xiao Bai leave in peace.
So... Xiao Bai won't hold back in tomorrow's training.
She will no longer treat Magical Girls as children.
They are warriors, warriors about to step onto the battlefield to fight against the Demons, and they are no longer children.
Gazing at the bright moon in the distance, Xiao Bai slowly exhaled.
--At this moment, there are still sixteen hours left before the Demons from the outside world descend.
(What the heck? Only sixteen hours left until the arrival of the Upper Demon?!)
(So fast? The first episode isn't even halfway through, are they really going to fight Demons in the very first episode??)
(Damn it, the Demons are already at our doorstep. If we don't fight the Demons, who else can we fight?)
(No, the training isn't finished yet! We need to at least give them some weaker opponents to practice against!)
(In the movie, Xiao Qiu was able to defeat Lesos, even though it was a clone. This proves that her strength has increased to a certain extent. Fighting Upper Demon is difficult... but it's not like she can't win.)
There are sixteen hours left until the Demons descends.
This sentence was a countdown clearly marked on the Sky Screen.
This will make it clear to the audience that the first episode of the third season is about fighting the Upper Demon!
What worries viewers most is that the Magical Girls have no idea when the Demons will arrive. They've just begun their training. If the Demons invade while they're training, will the Magical Girls, who have already expended some energy during their training, still be a match for the Upper Demon?
Viewers were worried that something might happen to one of the Magical Girls during this time.
After all, judging from the current situation of the third season, it is no longer a children's game. The Magical Girls have been watched by the audience 'grow up' are about to step into the real battlefield and fight against real powerful Demons.
Since it's a battle, there will inevitably be bloodshed and sacrifice.
This is something the audience doesn't want to see.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 387 Useless at everything, but number one at causing trouble
The thing the audience feared soon appeared on the Sky Screen.
While the Magical Girls were resting, at an Aurora Society base in the Americas District.
A group of staff members collapsed in the blood.
The alarm blared incessantly, its piercing noise like a death knell, echoing for everyone in the base.
Inside this blood-soaked experimental base, a naked girl stood on a carpet of blood, her head slightly tilted, motionless.
This is clearly inside the Aurora Society's base, and even more obviously, the Aurora Society gone too far again.
After Stella's escape, a new special being emerged who was no longer under the control of the Aurora Society.
But this special being is neither Magical Girls nor Witch; she is Demons created by the Aurora Society in a risky move.
It is a collection of negative energy that has absorbed the fear of 'blood'.
Its true form wasn't even like this; it was something even more twisted and inhuman.
But for some unknown reason, due to some special force, it became what it is now.
Just like a human girl.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that two small, pointed horns are slowly growing from its forehead; these are the horns representing Demons.
After slaughtering the staff in the base, the Blood Demon made no further moves.
She just stood there, head tilted to the side, as if sensing something.
Suddenly, the Blood Demon looked up sharply at the sky.
The camera zooms out instantly, passing through the ground, city, sky, and World Barrier in that instant... all the way to the Petite Demon throwing a tantrum in the distance!
"Huh?"
The Blood Demon, who was venting her anger by extinguishing all visible specks of light in the world, suddenly stopped.
I looked in surprise at the dim starry sky in the distance.
"... Did you sense anything?"
The Paranoid Demon knew what had happened the moment he saw the Petite Demon's movements.
He asked in a low voice.
The Petite Demon suddenly grinned. "Interesting, I actually sensed something connected to me... but unfortunately, I can't pinpoint its exact location..."
"Oh?"
The Paranoid Demon's eyes flashed, and he said, "Is there... a large world with intelligent life nearby?"
"More or less."
The world's oceans are also filled with intelligent life, such as those points of light that the Petite Demon used to vent her resentment.
The existence of those points of light indicates the birth of life, but because the points of light are weak and have no Power of Hope, it proves that there is no intelligent life in those worlds, and the worlds are so small that the area of one world is probably not even as large as a country in a large world.
That's why the Petite Demon could extinguish them one by one with each hand.
However, in a world with intelligent life, the world itself would become stronger under the nourishment of the Power of Hope. If Petite Demon were to run into such a world, the power it could unleash would probably only be enough to destroy a city.
But let's leave those aside for now.
Since we can sense something here, it proves that there must be a world nearby with a large number of intelligent beings and the Power of Hope.
After all, only hope can give birth to despair. If there were no hope, Demons constructed from negative energies such as the Despair Power would never appear.
She casually said something to the Paranoid Demon, and the Petite Demon's lips curled into a bloodthirsty laugh:
"Hehehe, this is really interesting. I didn't expect there to actually be something here... Paranoia, keep an eye on it for me. I want to see... what's going on here."
Because she couldn't sense the existence of that world, the Petite Demon couldn't directly travel to that world with intelligent life.
However, even at such a short distance, the Petite Demon could directly send her consciousness to her 'clone'.
Although its strength will decrease, a clone that is barely close to Upper Rank one should be enough.
If there were no Magical Girls.
--At this moment, there are twelve hours left until the Demons descends.
(Aurora Society!! It's the Aurora Society again!!)
(He's really good for nothing, but a master at causing trouble)
(Think about it carefully, how many times have you lost control?? If you can't control something, then don't try to control it! You can't control it anyway!)
(Speaking of this connection between the clone and the original... it reminds me of Stella and Lesos. Back then, Lesos contacted Stella because she couldn't sense the exact location of the world, right?)
(Got it, so this Demons's next step is to shatter the World Barrier!)
(World: You're always thinking about breaking down my door, what did I ever do to deserve this?!)
(www Maybe Mother World is just too tempting)
The Aurora Society likely fail again, but everyone's already used to it.
Therefore, the Magical Girls didn't even discuss their ideas.
On the contrary, the connection between the Petite Demon and the Blood Demon reminded Xiao Bai and the others of Lesos's actions.
The current situation of the Blood Demon and the Petite Demon is almost identical to that of Stella and Lesos back then!
The only difference is that Lesos didn't try to seize Stella's consciousness, while the Petite Demon was able to directly send her consciousness into the 'clone'.
Fortunately, it was a clone.
The Blood Demon's strength will be weakened to some extent. Even if he does become Upper Rank, he will definitely be the weakest Upper Rank, which is perfect for Xiao Qiu and the others.
It has to be said that Xiao Qiu and her friends are indeed lucky; every time they encounter an enemy, it's just the right amount of opponents they can defeat.
Perhaps this is why Xiao Qiu and her friends are the main characters.
Yu Muqiu and the others were unaware of the Blood Demon's existence.
They are currently undergoing special training in the Dream World.
Based on Kelly's memories, the Magical Girls Chihiro was created and became the strictest teacher to the Magical Girls, providing them with unimaginable pressure.
Similar to the real world, Yu Muqiu and the others could not defeat Chihiro no matter what, unless they infused her with the Power of Hope, allowing Yu Muqiu to enter his Second Shining Form.
Unlike in reality, Yu Muqiu in the Sky Screen, having already experienced activating Shining 2 twice, smoothly entered the Shining 2 form this time with the infusion of the Power of Hope, and successfully defeated Chihiro.
However, Yu Muqiu was not complacent, because she knew that this was just the beginning for her.
Upper Rank is far from their end goal, and it will never be their end goal.
