Chapter 441

(But wait, wasn't Lesos sealed away with the Demon Lord along with herself? How could she have had the chance to send a message to Stella?)

(Yeah! If it was information Stella gave us before, there's no reason for Lesos to only mention it now!)

(No, haven't you noticed yet?)

(What did you notice?)

(Xiao Bai is acting! Her acting is so stiff!)

(Holy crap, that seems to be true. It looks like Xiao Bai burned all his abilities except for combat skills!)

There are plenty of smart people in the Sky Screen, especially many viewers who are skilled in acting. They probably realized that Xiao Bai was acting the moment she 'woke up'.

But for some reason, they didn't post any comments, or if they did, they weren't noticed.

Until now.

However, Xiao Bai did understand Sky Screen Bai's thoughts.

Sky Screen Bai probably obtained some information from the inheritance of Pillar-Tier Demon. Stella said it was information given to her by Lesos, which is obviously a lie.

It must be that Sky Screen Bai contacted Stella again and asked Stella to pass on this information to Xiao Qiu.

After all, given Sky Screen Bai's current acting skills, if she shows any sign of being on Xiao Qiu's side, even if it's just pretending to 'accidentally' reveal a little bit of information to Yu Muqiu would probably be able to guess what's going on.

Yu Muqiu is naive, but she's definitely not stupid.

"Waaaaah!! Brother Fang Ming, you lied to me again!!!"

The not-so-foolish Yu Muqiu finally realized that Sky Screen Bai was acting, and so Xiao Bai in reality suffered the consequences.

Yu Muqiu hugged Xiao Bai tightly again, burying her face in her arms and crying loudly.

Xiao Bai sighed again and patted his head to comfort him.

There was nothing I could do; Sky Screen Bai had made her cry, so I really should comfort her.

[Buzz--Buzz--]

Chains were wrapped around Xiao Bai, and the veins on Yu Muqiu's hand, which was controlling the chains, were bulging, indicating that he was using a great deal of strength.

Although he was using Xiao Bai's abilities, Yu Muqiu was not yet proficient at them.

The only good news is that because Xiao Bai was close to the Demons, his original control over magic was greatly reduced.

Of course, it could also be a backup plan left by Fang Ming. The chains on Xiao Bai's body were not under Xiao Bai's own control, but instead became closer to Yu Muqiu's side.

Yu Muqiu controlled the chains on Xiao Bai with absolute ease!

"Damn it... damn it!! That guy... that damn guy, even in death he's still causing me trouble!! How could he even lend you his abilities!! How did he do that?!"

The silver-haired girl had a hideous and grotesque face. She was cursing her former self, the one Yu Muqiu and the others knew and were close to.

Upon hearing the silver-haired girl's cries, Yu Muqiu felt not only sorrow but also immense anger.

She roared at the silver-haired girl:

"Don't you dare insult Brother Fang Ming!!"

"I'm your Fang Ming brother!!!"

"No!! You're not!!" Yu Muqiu controlled the chains, and several chains gathered around her, intertwining to form a weapon resembling a silver spear.

With the addition of Xiao Bai's Severing power, Xiao Bai's chains, and the 'backup plan' Fang Ming left on the silver-haired girl, Yu Muqiu could easily shatter the Nightmare Seed on the girl in front of him.

Even though their magical powers differed greatly!

This is a gift Fang Ming left for her; it's something Fang Ming left behind that will give Xiao Qiu the key to victory!

But it was precisely because of this that Yu Muqiu was now sobbing uncontrollably.

"... Even in dire straits, Brother Fang Ming was thinking of us... and using all his strength to protect us... He... he is our best partner... our best brother... unlike you!"

Anger burned in Yu Muqiu's eyes.

With her chained spear poised at her side, she gritted her teeth and said, "Instead of being like you... who hurts us, who hurts this world!"

Finally, Yu Muqiu murmured to himself, "I'm sorry, Brother Fang Ming... I was wrong. I shouldn't have held back... From the very beginning... I shouldn't have—!"

The chained spear is about to fly out.

The silver-haired girl's expression was ferocious, filled with resentment.

Just as the silver-haired girl was about to be pierced by Yu Muqiu's chain spear, a purple light suddenly flew in from afar.

"No!! Stop!!! Sister Xiao Qiu!!!"

It's Song Niandong.

On her way there, she was still yelling at Yu Muqiu, trying to get Yu Muqiu to stop attacking.

But before Yu Muqiu could respond, the silver-haired girl suddenly turned her head toward the direction from which the purple light had come.

With all her might, she raised her finger and aimed it at Song Niandong. She concentrated her powerful magic into a single point, forming a ray attack that was almost as Pillar Rank!

"Damn it!! How could I... just die like this...! Even if I die... I have to take someone with me!!"

The Pillar Rank magic was evil and powerful. Seeing the ray about to fly out, Yu Muqiu immediately abandoned her thoughts. Without hesitation, she clenched her right fist, and the chain spear flew out, piercing through the silver-haired girl's body!

Puff--!

Whoosh--!

The chains pierced through the front of the silver-haired girl's body and flew out from behind, shredding the Nightmare Seed within them with the chain spear.

But the attack from her fingers had already flown out, striking Song Niandong directly!

"Dongdong!!"

Yu Muqiu looked at Song Niandong in alarm, but then she saw a scene that almost suffocated her.

The attack from the silver-haired girl's fingers shattered like a fragile crystal ball when it landed on Song Niandong.

That attack...

It's fake.

"No!!!!!"

Hearing Song Niandong's shrill screams, Yu Muqiu stared blankly as Song Niandong flew towards him and caught the silver-haired girl's body as she was about to fall.

She also saw the relieved smile on the silver-haired girl's face.

In that instant, Yu Muqiu understood everything.

But she preferred to remain in the dark.

[ED plays.]

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 474 Is it going to end soon?

(!!!!)

(Huh? Xiao Bai was just acting all along??)

(You guys just realized that?)

(Ber, when did she regain consciousness? Why didn't she tell Xiao Qiu when she did?!)

(She knew she was beyond saving, so what was she saying? Asking Xiao Qiu to show mercy again, so that the Demons could regain consciousness?)

(... How heartbroken Xiao Qiu must be!)

(Xiao Bai will be gone soon; it's time for her to grow up...)

"Waaaaah--! Brother Fang Ming, you big liar!!"

The final scene in the Sky Screen made Yu Muqiu cry even more bitterly.

Put Yu Muqiu in Sky Screen Autumn's shoes. How heartbroken would you be to find out that you killed the person closest to you with your own hands?

Some might argue that Yu Muqiu showed no mercy when he attacked the Demons Xiao Bai; if he had Xiao Bai Demons then, wouldn't Yu Muqiu have been killing his closest confidant with his own hands?

But things were different then.

At that time, the Xiao Bai that Yu Muqiu thought she was was completely possessed by the Demons's consciousness, so she was not Yu Muqiu's relative, but rather the enemy who had eliminated Yu Muqiu's relatives.

Yu Muqiu destroyed it, but he only destroyed the physical body that resembled his relatives and friends.

Furthermore, even if Demons Xiao Bai blames Yu Muqiu for the destruction of his true self, it can still be said to be Demons Xiao Bai's fault.

In short, it was easy to find excuses back then.

But things are different now.

Sky Screen Autumn has now truly killed Xiao Bai with his own hands.

And it was all done using Xiao Bai's own magic.

Yu Muqiu, standing in the Sky Screen, must be heartbroken...

Xiao Bai comforted Xiao Qiu, but his own heart was heavy.

The Demons Xiao Bai in the Sky Screen, whose Demons Nightmare Seed and life core had been shattered by Yu Muqiu.

She had virtually no chance of survival.

So, is my version of myself in the Sky Screen going to log off right here?

[The ending theme ends, followed immediately by the final episode without an opening theme.]

The silver chains created by Yu Muqiu pierced through Xiao Bai's body, shattering the Nightmare Seed within.

The Nightmare Seed shattered, Xiao Bai's body began to collapse.

Having already transformed into Demons, her manner of death was naturally the same as that of Demons: vanishing from this world.

Not even a corpse will be left.

Song Niandong, who arrived at the last minute, hugged Xiao Bai tightly with tears streaming down her face. She threw herself into Xiao Bai's arms and shouted loudly:

"No!! No!! I don't want my brother to leave me!! Brother... no!!"

"... Stella, in the end, still told you."

When Xiao Bai saw Song Niandong coming over, he knew what had happened.

She ruffled Song Niandong's hair and softly complained about Stella, who wasn't there.

Dongdong was already sobbing uncontrollably, and she explained through tears:

"No... Waaah... It wasn't Stella... It was me... I overheard it... I... I heard you and Stella Telepathy..."

"So that's how it is... Dongdong, you've grown up too."

Xiao Bai understood and a smile appeared on her face.

It seems that after Xiao Bai left, Dongdong took the initiative to assume the responsibility of monitoring Stella. Dongdong probably didn't tell anyone about this. And the animated dolls she created are inconspicuous when not activated, so it's normal that Stella didn't notice them.

The only thing that surprised Xiao Bai was that Song Niandong's animated doll could even capture magical Telepathy.

That makes sense, since Stella was alone at the time, Stella probably didn't expect anyone to be eavesdropping on her and Xiao Bai's Telepathy.

So it's normal that Dongdong heard it.

"What... what's going on! Brother Fang Ming... you... you really are... Brother Fang Ming, right...! I..."

When Yu Muqiu arrived, he saw Song Niandong, her body gradually turning to Xiao Bai, and tears streamed down his face.

With a sob in her voice, she asked, wanting to know the truth.

Seeing Xiao Qiu crying, Xiao Bai sighed and began to explain:

"... The Power of Hope helped me extinguish the newly born Demons consciousness... You did a good job, Xiao Qiu."

"So... Brother Fang Ming was already back then...!"

"Yes, I have taken over this body, this body that possesses the power of Demons, but I cannot guarantee how long I will remain conscious, nor can I guarantee that I will not turn against this world once the Demons's consciousness reawakens."

"So I lied to you, I'm sorry, Xiao Qiu..."

Xiao Bai, filled with apology, her eyes slightly vacant, said in recollection, "... You are all good children. I know that once you discover my consciousness is still alive, you won't be able to bring yourself to harm me, and you won't go all out. So I can only act..."

"I wanted you to destroy me, but not Xiao Chun. She just awakened her new form and doesn't have that kind of power. If I held back too much, she would definitely notice. So I imprisoned her..."

"Xiaoxia won't do either. She gets easily carried away when fighting. If I push her too hard, she might risk dying with me. It doesn't matter if I die, but not her... So I made her pass out."

"In the end, only you remain... Xiao Qiu. Although this is cruel to you, you are the most suitable, because just as Stella told you, you are indeed special... As the first Magical Girls after the extinction of Magical Girls, you are truly... special..."
