Chapter 574
At this moment, another Pillar Rank has appeared in the world, and this Pillar Rank... is Xiao Bai!
"What... is this...? Disaster...? How is this possible...!"
When he saw the Pillar Rank magic power, even the magic power of Calamity Demon, displayed on Xiao Bai, the Sloth Demon, who had been languishing and whose eyes seemed barely open, opened his eyes in that instant.
He stared in shock at the silver-haired girl before him, his eyes filled with bewilderment as he looked at her completely pure negative magic.
Why can Magical Girls suddenly transform into Pillar Rank Demons?
Why could I sense the Calamity Demon's magic power from the other person?
The Calamity Demon... wasn't he already dead?
So what exactly is the other party?
Call--!
A gentle breeze blew by, and the silver-haired girl's figure vanished like the wind, only to reappear in front of the Sloth Demon just as suddenly.
Before the Sloth Demon could even process the thought of "--thing" in his mind, his body was struck by lightning and a raging wind!
Pfft!!
Swords formed from wind, spears formed from lightning, giant axes made from lava, and countless weapons formed from Disaster all fell on the Sloth Demon's body at the same time, turning it into an unusual 'weapon rack'.
The silver-haired girl's expression was cold. Unlike before when she Demonization, she didn't display any crazed behavior. On the contrary, she was frighteningly calm at this moment.
His expression was cold, and his eyes were devoid of any warmth. He looked at the Sloth Demon as if he were looking at a person who was about to die.
Without any warning, the silver-haired girl's hand pierced through the core of the Sloth Demon, grasping the Nightmare Seed in her grasp.
"Become... a part of me..."
The silver-haired girl whispered in the Sloth Demon's ear.
And that ability belonging to the Sloth Demon is gradually transforming into her power!

Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 614 I Believe in My Companions
The Sloth Demon's power is gradually becoming a part of Tsukinomiya Yuki.
Fang Ming, who was able to see Tsukinomiya Yuki's skill panel, was able to directly observe the process of Sloth Demon being gradually absorbed by Tsukinomiya Yuki.
At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on Fang Ming.
Although Tsukinomiya Yuki may seem unaffected by the Erosive Power and even able to transform back into Magical Girls, Tsukinomiya Yuki true nature is actually closer to that of Demons.
The Magic Source Skill itself has no particular bias. In theory, this skill is all-encompassing, and almost all abilities that can be used through magic can be included in it.
But for Tsukinomiya Yuki, perhaps it's not the case.
He absorbed too much of the Demons' magic power, and he seemed to be closer to the Demons' side than the Magical Girls.
The only difference between her and the Demons is that Tsukinomiya Yuki does not exhibit the same aversion, hatred, and hostility that Demons feel towards Magical Girls.
Nor will the Demons experience negative emotions or desire to Destruction the world.
Ultimately, he was still Demons.
"This is the point of contention..."
Fang Ming understood the difference between Tsukinomiya Yuki and himself.
After accidentally awakening her Magic Source Skill, she has been actively enhancing the Magical Girls's power. The Demons on the other hand have only absorbed the power of the Blood Demon and the Calamity Demon so far.
The two forces are relatively evenly matched, and neither side completely overwhelms the other.
However, on Tsukinomiya Yuki's side, the Demons's power is much stronger.
To put it more simply, if Fang Ming's power originates from the Tai Chi diagram, then the power of Tsukinomiya Yuki is a circular fan-shaped diagram with two-thirds of its area covered by black.
"... Is this foreshadowing? Ah... no, this is probably the fuse that will set off a terrible future."
As Tsukinomiya Yuki completely absorbed the Sloth Demon's power, Fang Ming began to speculate about the fate of this world.
If Tsukinomiya Yuki goes further and further down the path of Demons, then in the end, his fate might be the same as Xiao Bai's at the end of the third season.
And it's very likely they will never be able to be resurrected.
After a brief moment of worry, Fang Ming stopped thinking about it.
He looked up at the sky, gazing at the colors of light representing Magical Girls and Demons in the crack in the sky, and murmured to himself:
"Alright, I know how to solve this, but what about the ones in the sky?"
The battle on the ground is over, but the battle in the sky is still unresolved.
I wonder how Xiao Qiu is doing.
Thinking this, Fang Ming looked at the light screen beside him.
Inside the light screen, as Tsukinomiya Yuki began absorbing the Sloth Demon, the scene started to change.
The perspective shifts to Xiao Qiu's side.
[Boom--]
A booming sound, understandable to the audience, appeared in the void.
That was the deafening sound of colliding magic.
Against a backdrop of starlight and a battlefield of darkness, the Desire Demon flies at Speed Demon through the void, with emerald green Arrows trailing behind her like homing missiles, relentlessly pursuing her.
Xiao Chun fired her arrows faster and faster, almost as if she intended to burn all her magic power in an attempt to destroy the Desire Demon.
However--
"Hehehe, we've found the flaw--"
As the Desire Demon dodged, it suddenly stopped mid-air.
Arrows shot straight toward the Desire Demon's chest from behind, but the Desire Demon did not dodge. Instead, she raised her hands and forcefully brought them together toward the center of her chest!
Bang!!
The green, crystalline Arrows was firmly grasped by the Desire Demon with both hands!
Although it was still spinning and trying to pierce the chest of the Desire Demon, it was unable to advance even an inch under the Desire Demon's control!
Instead, the Desire Demon's magic, following the green energy attached to the Arrows, began to spread towards Xiao Chun's true form.
"!?"
Xiao Chun herself hadn't expected that the attack, which had already been launched, could still be connected to her own magic power.
Before she knew it, Xiao Chun's body was corrupted by the demonic power of the Desire Demon.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks, just like Xiaoxia.
"Xiao Chun?!"
Seeing Xiao Chun stunned, Yu Muqiu, who had been trying to block the escape route of the Desire Demon, immediately stopped and quickly came to Xiao Chun's side, calling out to her.
But before Xiao Qiu could get close, Murong Xiaochun raised her Vine Bow and aimed it at... Xiao Qiu's direction!
Yu Muqiu: "!?"
The pink-haired girl stared in shock, but before she could even react, the green-haired girl's attack had already been launched!
The Arrows flew like falling meteors again, but this time the target was not the Desire Demon, but Yu Muqiu, who was closest to Xiao Chun!
The approaching movement suddenly stopped. Yu Muqiu held his magic wand, forming cherry-pink magic circles in front of him to block the Arrows while simultaneously calling out to Xiao Chun:
"Xiao Chun!! What's wrong with you?! Wake up!! It's me, Xiao Qiu!!"
The green-haired girl was not awakened by Xiao Qiu's calls.
She raised her head, and her pupils, which were originally like emeralds, were now covered with layers of deep pink that were almost red.
Her eyes blazed with murderous intent and ruthlessness as she stared intently at Yu Muqiu, as if he were her enemy.
"... Die...! Demons... all of you... die! Die!!!"
The green-haired girl's voice was deep and filled with murderous intent.
As she muttered to herself, her fingers moved incessantly, and Arrows flew one after another toward Yu Muqiu.
"Xiao Chun! Wake up!!"
Yu Muqiu continued to try to call out to Xiao Chun.
But the Desire Demon burst into laughter at that moment:
"Hehehe, it's useless."
She had no intention of attacking Xiao Qiu; instead, she watched with great satisfaction as the Magical Girls engaged in their civil war unfolded before her.
She then explained:
"Wanting to kill someone, wanting to get rid of something in your way, wanting to be with someone... all of these things can be categorized into one thing."
The Desire Demon raised a finger, waved it in front of her, and giggled:
" --Desire," she said. "Desire... is actually a very beautiful thing. Every living being is driven by Desire from birth: wanting to eat, wanting to sleep, wanting to possess something beloved, wanting to reach the pinnacle of power..."
"Humans are creatures driven by Desire, so the deeper a person's Desire are, the more they will be stirred up by me..."
The Desire Demon explained, even thoughtfully introducing his abilities to Yu Muqiu:
"Magic - stirring up the desires in one's heart is one of my special moves. Any Magical Girls who fights with me will gradually be influenced by my magic, thus stirring up the deepest Desire in her heart."
"The stronger a person's Desire, the more susceptible they are to this tactic, and your companion... well, her name is Xiao Chun, right? Her Desire... are not only simple and easy to understand, but also very easy to arouse."
The female Demons licked her fingers and said with a smile, "Wanting to eliminate all Demons and avenge someone... this Desire, though not particularly delicious, is the easiest to understand and the easiest to be aroused by."
"After all, most Magical Girls... have had their acquaintances harmed by Demons to some extent."
"Shut up!!!"
Yu Muqiu transformed his magic wand into a scythe, shattering the incoming Arrows, and angrily addressed the Desire Demon:
"I will not allow... you toy with my friends' feelings!"
But upon hearing Yu Muqiu's roar, the Desire Demon became even happier:
"Oh, that's great! Keep it up! The more you do that, the easier it is for me to... draw out the 'Desire' deepest within you, hehehehe~"
"!!"
The words of the Desire Demon were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the anger that had just risen in Yu Muqiu.
She took a deep breath, her gaze becoming calm.
Just as the Desire Demon said, the angrier he was, the more he wanted to do something, the easier it was for him to fall into the Desire Demon's trap.
So Yu Muqiu forced himself to calm down.
She took another deep breath and closed her eyes slightly.
She temporarily forgot about the Desire Demon and wholeheartedly connected with the Emotion Seed, allowing it to unleash even greater magical power.
Boom!!
When Yu Muqiu opened his eyes again, he had already entered the Shining 2 form.
She didn't look at the Desire Demon; instead, she focused all her attention on Xiao Chun.
"Sorry, Xiao Chun, I have to use a little rougher methods, so... I'm sorry!"
Splash--
The chains flew again, and Yu Muqiu unleashed the Chain Magic he had inherited from Xiao Bai.
In the blink of an eye, countless chains wrapped around Xiao Chun's body, binding her limbs and tying her to the void.
In that instant, Yu Muqiu unleashed a power even stronger than during their sparring session, instantly suppressing the out-of-control Xiao Chun.
But just as Yu Muqiu was trying to wake Xiao Chun, the figure of the Desire Demon suddenly flashed to Yu Muqiu's side.
She raised her hand, extending her devilish claws towards the pink-haired girl, while giggling sweetly:
