Chapter 440
From this perspective, the Federation's response was not wrong.
Their only mistake was misjudging the strength of the Demons and the Magical Girls.
"Hmph, you're asking for it!"
The silver-haired girl snorted coldly, as if on purpose, and shouted loudly so that Yu Muqiu, who was lying in the ruins of the parking lot, could hear her.
Immediately afterwards, chains flew out from behind the silver-haired girl, several chains accurately striking the missiles in mid-air and detonating them.
Boom!!!
Flames and shockwaves erupted in the air, glass shattered on the ground, alarms blared, and screams rang out from ordinary people.
The good news is that the missile detonated in the air and failed to land, resulting in almost no casualties on the ground, except for a few unlucky individuals who were cut by broken glass.
The pilots in the fighter jets were taken aback when they saw this.
When they saw the silver figure flying towards the sky, they became even more panicked.
They maneuvered their fighter jets to climb, trying to distance themselves from the silver-haired girl.
However, the silver-haired girl's chains were even faster; several chains struck the wings of the fighter jets with precision, causing them to lose their balance.
Several pilots were forced to eject.
But the silver-haired girl seemed determined not to let them go. The chains, like venomous snakes, clung tightly to the backs of the pilots, as if she intended to kill them all!
Just as these chains were about to turn the pilot, who was Youyou descending with his parachute open, into a string of candied hawthorns, an invisible barrier instantly enveloped Xiao Bai at the critical moment!
All the pilots descending from the sky vanished, and a dazzling pink light shone below.
It's Yu Muqiu!
At the crucial moment, she finally activated her Magic Barrier, enveloping Xiao Bai within it!
"Tsk!"
The silver-haired girl seemed annoyed and smacked her lips, but soon a smile appeared on her face as she landed in the street, standing opposite Yu Muqiu.
She raised her sickle, pointed it at Yu Muqiu, and asked:
"You really want to protect these humans that much? You should know that unless I am destroyed, I will eventually bring disaster and despair to this world. You can protect them for a while, but can you protect them forever?"
Splash!
Yu Muqiu emerged from the pile of rubble, his steps light and deliberate, approaching Xiao Bai step by step.
Hearing Xiao Bai's question, she paused for a few seconds before answering:
"Protecting this world... is the mission of Magical Girls, and also... is what Brother Fang Ming hopes for..."
"I... won't let him down!"
I don't want to disappoint him!
Snap, snap, snap.
The silver-haired girl suddenly clapped her hands.
She was applauding Yu Muqiu, as if in admiration, yet also as if mocking him, saying:
"How touching! As expected of Magical Girls, she can spout such noble and righteous words so easily. But unfortunately... you don't have that kind of power!"
Bang!!
The ground beneath the silver-haired girl's feet shattered, and her figure appeared almost instantly in front of Yu Muqiu.
The scythes swung relentlessly, the silver-haired girl pressing Yu Muqiu while simultaneously mocking him:
"I already know your secret! A new form? Magic Link? Or Magic Network? Heh heh heh, these are the fundamental reasons you've been able to fight me until now, aren't they?"
"But—don't forget, this Magic Network spanning the entire Central Continent was personally set up by me!!!"
Swish swish swish--!
The scythe is imbued with the silver-haired girl's exclusive magic, a cutting power that seems capable of Severing everything!
The cutting force left wounds on Yu Muqiu's body and also Severing some strands of hair on her head.
However, the most crucial point is not here.
After the silver-haired girl's Severing power swept over him, Yu Muqiu's imposing aura suddenly diminished!
The Magic Link and the amplification of the Magic Network were all Severing by the silver-haired girl in that instant!
Yu Muqiu's overall magical power instantly dropped by half!
"Now! What will you use to protect this world?!"
The silver-haired girl burst into laughter, a wild, triumphant laugh, like the laughter of a victor.
Although Yu Muqiu has fully mastered his new form, the fundamental reason why he has been able to fight the silver-haired girl until now lies in the Magic Link between him, Xiaoxia, and Xiao Chun.
There is also the Power of Hope gathered and accumulated from the Magic Network of two continents!
These Power of Hope are the true power that enabled Yu Muqiu to resist the silver-haired girl!
Now, the silver-haired girl has Severing all these connections with her own abilities, leaving Yu Muqiu with only his own power.
She seemed to have completely lost hope of victory!
When the connection to Yu Muqiu Severing, the silver-haired girl, Xiao Bai, grabbed her and brought her back to the sky.
After a series of shattering sounds, the Magic Barrier created by Yu Muqiu was easily destroyed by Xiao Bai.
Then Xiao Bai raised his other hand, holding the sickle high, and pointed it at the sky.
A thunderous dragon emerges from the dark, cloud-covered sky, foreshadowing an unprecedented thunderstorm disaster!
The silver-haired girl, with an extremely wicked sense of humor, moved closer to Yu Muqiu and said to her:
"If you had agreed to my request before, then out of consideration for our past relationship... I might have spared this world out of mercy, but now..."
The silver-haired girl forcefully turned Yu Muqiu's head, making her look at the city below, her expression wicked and ferocious:
"... I'll make you see with your own eyes what happens to those who disobey me! I'll make everyone in this entire city die right before your eyes!!"
The silver-haired girl's demeanor undoubtedly brought the word 'villain' to life.
Yu Muqiu's expression was angry, but mixed with sadness and Pain.
She was still blaming herself for making things worse, and still grieving over the fact that her Fang Ming was completely 'dead'.
But she didn't notice.
The black sclera in the silver-haired girl's eyes grew fainter and fainter, and even her expression, which had originally appeared ferocious due to her twisted smile, now carried a hint of apology and helplessness.
That is, when the silver-haired girl was brewing a thunderstorm.
Stella's voice suddenly reached Yu Muqiu's ears.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 473 This is the final performance
Snap!
Xiao Bai slapped his forehead hard.
Seeing her own performance on the Sky Screen, she didn't even dare to look at the comments.
To outsiders, Xiao Bai was incredibly powerful and extremely evil, seemingly completely corrupted.
But given her already mastered acting skills, and the fact that Xiao Bai herself had burned away her acting abilities, her performance was only enough to fool innocent children like Yu Muqiu.
Looking at his Sky Screen, Xiao Bai felt a wave of embarrassment.
This third-rate villain is from some novel! He's always trying to Destruction a city to save face... It's only because of Xiao Qiu; if it were Xiao Chun here, his disguise would be exposed in no time!
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Sky Screen Bai.
Sky Screen Bai's acting skills have been burned away. The fact that he can perform now is probably due to the residual feeling after the burning, which is the first-level skill he has formed.
It's enough if Xiao Qiu doesn't notice anything amiss; there's really no need to push it too hard.
But the one thing Xiao Bai didn't quite understand was Sky Screen Bai's intention in doing this.
If the goal is to unleash Xiao Qiu's potential, then at this point, they should have created an opening for Xiao Qiu to exploit and eliminate it.
If the goal was to make Xiao Qiu experience the cruelty of Demons, there was no need to go to such lengths.
What if things go wrong and they actually drop a thunderstorm bomb over Rock City?
By then, there will truly be no turning back!
I wonder what Xiao Qiu will think when she finds out the truth...
Xiao Bai looked up at Xiao Qiu, only to find that Xiao Qiu was now crying her eyes out.
"Waaah... Brother Fang Ming..."
She was completely immersed in the story, wiping away tears with tissues while mourning Fang Ming in the Sky Screen.
Very well, Xiao Qiu didn't see anything.
Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then turned to look at the others.
Well, everyone's so engrossed in the story that nobody seems to have noticed anything amiss with Sky Screen Bai.
She's overthinking it.
Stella's voice rang in Xiao Qiu's ears.
She heard Stella say, "... Xiao Qiu, I suddenly remembered that my older sister once told me that the Magical Girls who possesses the Power of Hope and can activate her Shining Form... she is actually the most special one!"
"..." Xiao Qiu didn't reply.
Stella wasn't in a hurry; she continued:
"It is said that the first Magical Girls captain was Magical Girls with the Power of Hope, and according to... Sister Lesos's memories, that first captain seemed to be able to borrow the power of her comrades!"
"What's the meaning...?"
"That means she can use her companions' magic! So if she can, you definitely can too!! Xiao Qiu!! Now you're right next to Xiao Bai, see if you can use her Chain Magic!"
Stella provided crucial information at this critical moment.
Yu Muqiu was slightly taken aback. She turned her head to look at Xiao Bai, who was holding her, and focused her gaze on the chains on Xiao Bai's body.
In fact, Yu Muqiu had a feeling about this long before.
I feel like I can use magic similar to Xiao Bai's.
But it's just a feeling.
However, it was precisely because of this feeling that Yu Muqiu used his Shaping Magic to create scythes and chains to fight.
At first, Yu Muqiu thought he was imitating Xiao Bai.
Because Xiao Bai is so powerful, handsome, and reliable, giving her a sense of security, perfectly matching her imagination of Magical Girls, it's normal for her to imitate Xiao Bai.
Later, Yu Muqiu also tried to imitate Xiaoxia's greatsword and Xiao Chun's Arrows, but the magic of his two companions was ultimately not as effective as Xiao Bai's magic.
At that time, Yu Muqiu thought that he and Xiao Bai were natural friends and would become very good friends in the future, so he felt very comfortable using Xiao Bai's magic.
But... what if that's not the case?
Images of manipulating the chains in the past flashed through Yu Muqiu's mind, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The magic power within his body surged, and the Magic Link that Xiao Bai Severing seemed to find something else to reconnect with at this moment.
Yu Muqiu rediscovered the feeling she had experienced before, and following this feeling, she searched within the Emotion Seed in her body.
As time resumed its flow, and just as Xiao Bai's prepared attack was about to land, Yu Muqiu's pupils suddenly turned into cross-shaped starlight.
Almost instinctively, she reached forward, and countless silver chains emerged from the void, connecting with the chains binding Xiao Bai!
In an instant, Xiao Bai was chained in mid-air by her own chains! She couldn't move!
"What!!?"
Xiao Bai looked at Yu Muqiu in utter shock. Yu Muqiu's chains not only restricted her movements but also interrupted her Disaster Magic!
The thunderstorm stopped brewing, Xiao Bai cried out in disbelief, "How could you!! How could you use my magic!!!"
(Holy crap, they're giving Xiao Qiu a cheat code again!)
(I knew it! Why did they make Xiao Qiu the main character? Turns out, Xiao Qiu has one amazing ability after another!)
(Xiao Bai: Is it on? Xiao Qiu: It's not off!)
